Chapter Ten: Moving Day

Elena woke up and saw that Damon was already up and moving around for the morning. Elena sat up in bed and wished that she could go back to sleep, she was so tired from last night arguing with Damon about Isobel. Damon was convinced that Isobel was trying to make his life with Elena a living hell, while Elena just thought that Damon was crazy and he was just trying to look for a way out of having to help Isobel today. Damon at first was asleep downstairs in the living room on the couch, but, he eventually came in the room and crawled into bed with Elena hoping she wouldn't notice, but the truth was, she wouldn't have slept that night if he never came in there. She just wished he came in there earlier and not at 5 in the morning. Elena looked on the nightstand and saw a note there from Damon.

Went to go help Isobel. I love you. -Damon

Elena smiled a little and got up and head into the shower. Once she was showered and dressed, she walked downstairs and saw Jeremy and Anna talking to Jenna.

"Hey guys" Elena said and walked into the kitchen

"Hey Elena" Anna smiled

"You know where Damon went?" Jeremy asked

"To go help Isobel move into her house, why?" Elena asked

"No, seriously, where did he go?" Jeremy asked

"Isobel, why?" Elena said again

"Oh, he said there was no way in hell he was going there yesterday" Jeremy said

"Well, I guess he changed his mind then" Elena said "Why are you looking for him though?"

"Because Alaric was at the Boarding House earlier looking for him" Jeremy said "Not a big deal…I think, I don't know, he looked kinda…frazzled"

"I was just gonna go see Damon" Elena said "I'll tell him Alaric was looking for him"

"Okay" Jeremy said "Me and Anna are gonna go out then, we'll be back later"

"Okay" Elena said and watched Anna and Jeremy walk out of the house and now it was just Elena and Jenna

"…I heard you and Damon arguing last night" Jenna said

"Sorry if we kept you up" Elena said

"It's fine" Jenna said and hugged Elena "First fights are always the worst"

"He thinks Isobel is trying to make his life a living hell" Elena said

"I wouldn't exactly put it past Isobel, but I don't think she's trying to ruin anyone's life" Jenna laughed "At least not anyone you care about"

"I wish Damon would listen" Elena said

"He will, eventually" Jenna said "So, you going to go see how things are at Isobel's?" Jenna asked

"Yeah" Elena said "I'll be back later"

"Alright." Jenna said "And if you happen to see Alaric, tell him to call me, okay?"

"Yeah, sure" Elena smiled and grabbed her car keys and walked out the front door.


Damon was hauling another box into Isobel's house and saw Isobel standing there in the living room, looking though a box that had pictures in it. It didn't take Damon long to realize that they were pictures from when Elena was born in the hospital. Isobel sensed Damon looking at her and she quickly put the pictures away back in the box and walked past Damon and back outside to get more boxes and bring them into the house. As Isobel walked out there, she saw Elena pull up on her car, but Elena didn't look happy like her normal self. Elena got out of her car and walked up to Isobel.

"Is Damon here?" Elena asked

"Inside" Isobel said

"I'll be right back" She said and walked into the house

Elena walked in there and found Damon moving around some boxes for Isobel, but he stopped when he heard Elena walk into the house.

"Hey" He said

"Hey" Elena said, she wasn't sure if she was still mad at Damon, or if she was fine now

"I'm sorry" Damon said and walked closer to Elena

"…I'm sorry too" Elena said and walked over to Damon and hugged him

Damon wrapped his arms around Elena and hugged her back. Isobel walked into the hosue then and finally understood what was going on, Damon and Elena had their first big fight last night. Isobel put down the box she was carrying and Elena let go of Damon and faced Isobel.

"Need anymore help?" Elena asked

"I think that's everything" Isobel said "But you could help me with unpacking everything" She said

Elena smiled and walked over toward Isobel and helped her start taking things out of boxes. Damon helped too, and that was when Elena remembered what she wanted to say to him.

"Oh yeah, Damon, Jeremy said Alaric was looking for you" Elena said

"Did he say why?" Damon asked curiously

"Nope, he just said he looked frazzled" Elena said

"Alaric frazzled, that's never good" Damon said and pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and started calling Alaric and walked outside the house

"Hello?" Alaric answered

"Heard you were looking for me" Damon said

"Yeah" Alaric said "Stefan called me"

"He's not coming back to Mystic Falls is he? I'll kill him the minute he sets foot in this town" Damon hissed

"Whoa, no" Alaric said "He was calling to make sure everything was okay here. Him and Katherine are heading to Miami"

"…Why would he care about what's going on here?" Damon asked

"I don't know. I don't think he plans on coming here, but I'm just letting you know, keep your guard up" Alaric said

"Alright, I'll keep an eye out for him, if he comes within a hundred miles of Mystic Falls, I'll know about it" Damon said "Thanks for the warning"

"No problem" Alaric said and hung up the phone

Damon walked back inside and saw Elena and Isobel going through the boxes, taking things out and placing them around the house.

"What did Alaric want?" Elena asked

"Nothing, just wanted to warn me about something. Everything's fine" Damon said and kissed Elena on her forehead "Don't worry your pretty little head about anything kitten"

"…Alright" Elena said "Come help us get this stuff organized"

"You know, when are you planning on moving into the Boarding House?" Damon asked Elena

"I started packing yesterday" Elena said "I didn't really do much this morning, just a few clothes, that was it. As soon as I get everything packed up I guess" Elena sighed

"Alright" Damon said "I could help you too when we get back to your house"

"Thanks" Elena smiled and kissed Damon on the cheek

"Damon, could I talk to you in the kitchen for a minute" Isobel spoke up

"Fine" Damon agreed and followed Isobel in the kitchen "What?" He hissed "I thought you were alright with me being with Elena"

"I am" She said in her usual snaky tone "And don't make me regret it"

"What do you mean?" Damon asked curiously

"What I mean is that- Never mind" Isobel said and looked away from Damon

"Finish what you were going to say Isobel" Damon said

"No" Isobel said

"Damon" Elena said, breaking up the conversation and walking up to Damon and grabbing his hand "I need your help with this" She said and pointed out a big, heavy box

"Fine" Damon said as Elena walked into the living room again. Damon looked back at Isobel. "This conversation isn't over" He said firmly and walked out of the kitchen

Isobel couldn't believe that she almost told Damon about what was going to happen with him and Elena. One half of her wanted to tell them both; but the other half of her, usually the half that won over the silent argument she had with herself, told her to keep her mouth shut and to not mention anything about it to Damon and Elena until the time was right, the question was though, when was the right time to tell them? She couldn't just blurt it out and say, "Oh yeah, by the way, certain vampires can procreate and you just happen to be one of them Damon". They probably wouldn't believe her though until Elena was pregnant anyway, but she still didn't want to just tell them out of the blue.


Jeremy and Anna were sitting in the kitchen with Jenna back at the house. Jenna must have offered to make them lunch at least ten times, she still wasn't used to vampires not really having to eat at all.

"Someone's at the door" Anna said seconds before there was a knock on the door

"You have got to teach me that" Jeremy laughed and got up and answered the door "Bonnie, what's up?"

"Is Elena here?" Bonnie asked

"No, she's over at Isobel's" Jeremy said

"Oh okay, the place right by the Boarding House, right?" Bonnie asked

"Uh, yeah" Jeremy said

"Okay, thanks" Bonnie said and walked off back to her car

"What did Bonnie want?" Anna asked walking up from behind Jeremy

"Elena, I told her where she was" Jeremy said

"Oh" Anna said and walked back into the kitchen where Jenna was still, but this time she was on the phone

"Yeah, I'll ask Elena, alright?…Okay, bye" Jenna smiled and hung up "Do either of you know when Elena will be back?" Jenna asked

"Man, everyone wants Elena today" Jeremy said "Probably not until later, she's at Isobel's"

"You have her cell number Jer? I keep forgetting it" Jenna sighed

"Yeah" Jeremy said and handed Jenna his cell phone and Jenna just called Elena off of there

"Elena," Jenna said "When are you gonna be home?…5? Okay, I have a tiny favor I need to ask you…"


"Babysitting?" Elena asked over her phone

"She's only 5 years old, I think you can handle that" Jenna said "Please?"

"…Alright" Elena said "I'll do it"

"Thank you so much Elena" Jenna said "I'll call Chloe back right now" Jenna hung up the phone just as Bonnie was pulling into Isobel's driveway

"Bonnie?" Elena asked confused as to why Bonnie would even come near this place

"Elena, I really have to tell you something" Bonnie said getting out of her car and walking right up to Elena

"What's up?" Elena asked

"There you are" Damon said walking out of the house "Oh, hi Bonnie" Damon said "Elena, you need to stop Isobel, she won't stop showing family pictures, she's officially turned into a real mother, a real annoying mother" Damon said

"Damon, not now, I need to talk to Elena" Bonnie said

"It can wait" Damon said

Bonnie rolled her eyes and started to turn Damon around and push him back toward Isobel's house, but the minute she touched Damon, she had another vision.

"Bonnie?" Elena asked and put her hand on Bonnie's shoulder

"I'm fine" Bonnie sighed and looked back at Damon, "Damn, you guys are going to have your hands full" Bonnie said

"…What so you mean?" Damon asked curious now

"I mean-"

"Bonnie! How nice to see you here" Isobel said walking out of the house and right up to Bonnie, I really need to talk to you, could you come with me for a minute?" Isobel asked wearing a big fake smile now

"I guess" Bonnie said and walked away from Damon and Elena and into Isobel's house "Nice house" Bonnie said looking around the place, it was almost as big as the Boarding House

"Thanks" Isobel said, losing her smile now "You can't tell them" She said flatly

"Why not?" Bonnie asked "They have a right to know! Plus, from what I just saw, they REALLY have a right to know"

"What'd you see?" Isobel asked

Bonnie looked out the window and saw that even though Damon was talking to Elena, she knew he was listening to them in the house.

"Come by my house later, I'll tell you" Bonnie said and pointed out the window where Isobel saw Damon listening in

"Alright" Isobel sighed

Bonnie walked out of the house and past Damon and Elena, but not before Elena could catch her best friend.

"Bonnie, what did you wanna tell me?" Elena asked

Bonnie looked at Isobel and then back at Elena. "Nothing, never mind, it was silly anyway" Bonnie laughed "I'll call you later Elena, okay?"

"Alright" Elena said "Bye" She said and waved goodbye to Bonnie as she pulled out of Isobel's drive way

Elena saw Isobel walk back into the house and Elena looked up at Damon. "Could you hear them?" She asked him

"Yeah, but they saw me listening" Damon sighed "Isobel and Bonnie are talking later tonight"

"What's going on?" Elena asked

"I don't know. Isobel wanted to say something to me earlier, but stopped, same with Bonnie I'm guessing" Damon said

"Isobel stopped her…something's going on" Elena said

"I'll find out, don't worry about it" Damon said and kissed Elena on the forehead

"Damon, I hope you like five year olds" Elena said

"…Why?" Damon asked completely confused

"I'm babysitting tonight" Elena said "A favor for Jenna"

"Wonderful" Damon said sarcastically

"Damon, she's five, I've babysat her before, she's an angel compared to most five year olds" Elena laughed

"That's good…I think" Damon said

"When was the last time you were around a five year old?" Elena asked

"…1926" Damon said

"Oh boy, your gonna have fun then" Elena laughed

"Elena, right now I would deal with anything to get away from you mother" Damon said

"She's not that bad" Elena said

"Of really?" Damon asked right as Isobel came out of the house

"See, told you" Isobel said and handed Damon a picture

"…I didn't need proof to see that you were a cheerleader Isobel, I already knew" Damon said

"Oh…well, I like showing that picture anyway, it was the last time I was super skinny" Isobel sighed and took the photo back "I had to drop out of cheerleading after this because of, well, obvious reasons"

"Yeah, pregnant cheerleader, not exactly a good idea" Damon said

Elena just laughed at Damon and Isobel. They both annoyed each other actually, and the thought of them having to deal with each other for all of eternity made Elena laugh even more. Weather they knew it or not, they were acting like how a normal family would.

"What's so funny?" Damon asked

"You guys" Elena smiled

Damon and Isobel looked at each other and then back at Elena who was still laughing.

"I think she's finally snapped" Damon said

Isobel reached out and felt Elena's forehead. "I don't think she has a fever, feels normal to me. Are you feeling okay Elena?"

"I'm perfect" Elena smiled and unexpectedly hugged Isobel. Isobel awkwardly hugged Elena back. Elena then went and hugged Damon and kissed him on the cheek. "I love you guys"

"I love you too Elena" Damon smiled "Even if you are a little insane"

"And I love you too Elena" Isobel said and genuinely smiled


A/N: So what do you think?

I wonder what Bonnie saw that made her think that Damon and Elena were going to have their hands full :P And Stefan and Katherine visiting Mystic Falls, maybe in the future? And Damon and Elena babysitting, that could be interesting :P

Oh, and I've been thinking of possibly writing a Damon/Stefan story and a Stefan/Katherine story in the future, what do you think? Alright, well, I LOVE you guys so, so much! xoxo, Avril
