Stefan's POV

"What is it?" Stefan asked, worried. Jamie snuggled down more into his mother, his little hands tangling in her hair. It was obvious to Stefan that Jamie was very close to his mother, and he was so glad- but Lily's words scared him. It didn't sound good, whatever it was. Had one of Elena's family members been killed? Stefan thought of little Margaret with her sweet young smile, and he shuddered in fear.

"Uh, well," Lily began, but before she went any further, she looked down at Jamie for a second. He smiled chirpily at her- making Stefan and Lily laugh. Then his mother put one hand on each of Jamie's ears and he squealed in surprise. Lily kissed his forehead quickly before looking back up to the others.

"They've identified the people that were found in the town yesterday," Lily looked at Elena sadly.

Silence fell in the living room, and Stefan worried about Elena.

She had gone pale, and he saw her gulp.

"Do you know if any children were among the dead?" she choked out, eyes on Lily, desperately hoping that she would say no.

"I think- I think that one of them was a child," Lily said. Stefan saw a look of disgust cross her features- and he knew she was thinking about how on earth someone could kill a defenseless child. Lily's arms tightened around Jamie- Stefan understood. "Why? Did you have any child relatives?"

Elena burst into new tears.

"My little sister, Margaret. She's only four," she cried.

"Oh dear!" Lily shuffled over to Elena and lay a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Elena, it might not be her. The body is away from your house!" Stefan comforted, sitting in the seat next to her and brushing her hair away from her face.

"I hope so. But Stefan, it's a child. It's disgusting! How can someone kill a child?!" Elena sobbed, leaning her head onto Stefan's shoulder.

Stefan felt so helpless- there was nothing he could do to comfort his fiance but tell her that it may not be Margaret.

"They've found some possessions of theirs- the people that were killed. If it's okay, you might take a look at it?" Lily asked, hesitantly.

"Yeah," Elena sniffed.

Bonnie came down the stairs- dressed in a new shirt and jeans. Jack had been lounging against the post at the bottom of the stairs, and he looked up as she came down. As soon as she saw him, her eyes widened in fear and awkwardness. Stefan knew that being around strong, powerful Vampires was hard for Bonnie, because she was still getting used to her new powers. But Jack was the evilest of the evil, and he scared her to pieces.

Jack smirked up at her.

"All bloodless now, are we?" he asked innocently, but Stefan could still detect the coldness in his voice. It seemed like he had it all the time. Bonnie jump in fear- Jack's statement had a different meaning, a Vampire one, and it scared her spitless.

"Jack," Lily said, looking at him sternly.

Bonnie walked over to her, and Stefan could see that she was self-conscious of Jack's stare on the back of her. But when she saw Elena's tears, her eyes widened and she scurried over faster to take hold of Elena's arm.

"Elena, what's happened?!" She perched herself on the arm of the sofa.

"They've identified the bodies they found yesterday, one of them could be Margaret," Elena croaked out. Stefan wrapped his arm tighter around her, finding nothing to say that could help her. It might not be Margaret- he told himself.

But there weren't many children as young as that in Fells Church.

Damon, who up till that point had been leaning against the wall with an absent look on his face- now looked at Elena, focused on her.

"I hate to say it, but my brother may be right. The chances are that all the families have been moved and those killed would be the ones that fought," he said.

"True," Stefan said. "And your Aunt wouldn't fight with them when she knew that Margaret's life would be at risk, Elena."

"Yeah, I suppose so," Elena sniffed again, and then looked at Lily with a defeated and scared look on her face.

"Can I see who they were?" she asked.

"Are you sure, Elena? You knew these people, it might be a rather sad thing for you to do," Lily looked at her sadly.

"I want to know."

Lily sighed softly, then picked Jamie off of her lap and placed him on the ground. He started to play with a few toy cars that were hidden underneath the coffee table.

"Jack. Kitchen," Lily ordered, turning to go down the hall.

Jack sighed angrily, and hit his sister's head as they walked down to the kitchen. It was obvious to Stefan that Jack didn't like to be ordered about- well, obviously- but part of him listened to his sister, however small that part might be.

The kitchen door shut and the living room plunged back into silence. Damon glared at Stefan for no apparent reason, he seemed to just like doing it, and Bonnie was comforting a now snuffling Elena. Stefan just stood, feeling helpless, wondering who the dead people could be.

All while Jamie played with his little toy cars.

Lily walked back into the room, and shot an immediate sad look at Elena.

"They're keeping all of their belongings in a house in the middle of the town. The...bodies, are in the morgue," Lily hesitantly said- possibly half-due to Jamie still being in the room. But he wasn't even listening, his toy cars were occupying the little boy's thoughts too much.

"You have a morgue?" Stefan asked in shock. He really didn't want Jamie to be raised in an environment that had it's own morgue!

"Oh no, it's more like a basement. But if we call it a basement it doesn't sound very...well, respectful," Lily told him, then she turned her attention back to Elena.

"I could take you if you want?"

"Erm, yes, thank you," Elena smiled sadly at Lily. Stefan was glad that she was getting used to Jamie and Lily, it meant a lot to him.

"We'd best be going then."

"What about Jamie?"

"Jack's still here, he's in the garden talking to...someone." Lily's expression hardened. Was Jack talking to their mother? Stefan hated the fact that Jamie's grandmother didn't like her children, and he did not want his nephew near them.

Elena stood up, and after kissing Stefan goodbye, walked outside. Lily picked up her car keys and gave Jamie a big smooch on the cheek, to which he replied 'wwwmm'- then said goodbye to Stefan and Bonnie, glared at Damon, then left after Elena.

"Whose Morgue?" Jamie asked, adorably looking up at Stefan with a quizzical look on his face.
