The Salvatore Home

The kids were excited for todays activities. First their going to visit the old age home than ML's care village and than Silver Lake.

Bonnie looked sexy and cute in her green short dress, a yellow sun hat and big designer sunglasses.

Zoe wore blue cut off jeans and a short – sleeved green shirt with white polka dots on it. Kenzie went for black cut off jeans and a red short sleeved – shirt.

"Okay fam gather around its selfie time." Alex said with a charming happy smile.

The whole family looked beautiful on the pics making funny faces at the camera. "This is going on Facebook." Alex said after they were done.

"Hey I want to see it first before you upload it." Kenzie said quickly.

"Too late." Alex said and laughed when Kenzie jumped on him to get his phone. He swing a laughing Kenzie on his back.

"Okay kids let's get this show on the road." Damon said and helped Bonnie strap in the twins.

...

ML's house for the elderly were pleasantly surprised to received so many gifts and joy from their families and the families of ML. They were thoroughly entertained with a live musical performance and Dylan doing a stand up comedy. The crowd roared with laughter at his jokes. He even received a standing ovation.

...

Back on the road to ML's care village Dylan could not stop smiling.

"Gee Buddy if I knew you were that funny I would have let you go to school part time and take you on the road full time." Damon said and smiled proudly at his son.

Bonnie laughed and said. "Now that's a nice one Damon now I see where he gets his jokes from."

Damon touched her leg and smiled. "Are you being serious babe?"

"Uh no. School first than he can do whatever he wants after that." Bonnie said and smiled sweetly.

The kids laughed at the funny face Damon made in the mirror.

...

ML's care village is a shelter for the homeless and abuse women and children. Its one of the charities and causes that's very close to Bonnie's heart and so it was to aunt May's and her Grams.

There was not a dry tear when Zoe handed a donation over to the house mother of the shelter. "Thank you for keeping up the good work and never losing hope. I know my grandmother and aunt May is smiling down on us this very moment." Zoe said teary.

The house mother hugged Zoe. "Thank you dear. Its good to know and to see that there are still good people who cares about the wounded souls of this world and who have not forgotten us. Thank you very much."

The kids helped handing out hampers, food and Zoe's special gift baskets. Damon put on the music and opened the dancefloor much to the laughter of the small kids.

"You joining me Alex?" he called out to Alex who was busy painting the kids faces.

"Sorry dad I'm so busy right now." He said and sigh relieved.

Damon did a silly dance step and looked at Dylan. "What do you say Buddy? Want to tango with your old man."

Dylan's eyes went wide. "Uhm mom." He called out before rushing away.

Bonnie was watching her husband with a soft smile. By now Damon was surrounded by small kids who danced with him. She felt a hand on her arm and looked at the woman standing next to her.

The woman's bruises on her face were beginning to heal. Her left eye was black and blue.

"Thank you so much I have never seen my little girl so happy. For the first time I feel like we belong that we have come home." The woman said softly.

Bonnie touched the woman's hand. "You are home and you will never have to fear for your lives again."

Tears rolled down the woman's cheeks. She kissed Bonnie's hand that was holding hers before walking away.

They had so much fun and everyone was enjoying themselves and when it was time to leave they all came out to wave the Salvatore's goodbye. The Salvatore's left the shelter promising to visit again soon.

Silver Lake

Silver Lake or as its been refer to Sister Lake of ML or simply the location was situated 5 kilometres away from ML separated by an old rail road. The community of SL is a multi cultured working middle class and those who can barely make ends meet. The town had a few small businesses a library, doctors office and a church. Most of the town folks worked in ML . The high school was located in the heart of SL surrounded by the town peoples houses.

There was only one school. A primary school who stopped at grade six so it was essential for the children of SL to study hard and get good grades to be accepted into ML High School despite frequent strikes from teacher who fought the system. Over load class rooms and bad elements hanging around the neighbourhood and school.

Bonnie's grandmother's house was in the first street of the housing blocks. A lime green house with two bedrooms a living room a kitchen and a bathroom and toilet.

"We are here guys let's get operation spring clean started." Damon said excitedly.

"Antwone!" Kenzie called out with a happy smile and rushed out of the car. She flung herself into his arms.

"Shouldn't he be in college?" Damon asked and narrowed his eyes at the two young lovers who could not stop smiling and holding hands.

"He is but he came for the weekend when Kenzie told him about us visiting grandmother's home. He is here to help us." Zoe said with a cheery smile.

"Antwone my man." Dylan greeted and high five him. Antwone hugged Bonnie and Zoe and shook Damon's hand who gave the kid a stiff smile and crushing handshake. Alex greeted him like a long lost brother.

The kids cleaned the garden outside. Damon was sitting on one of the chairs on the porch.

Zoe smiled as she looked at her sister who were enjoying herself flirting and joking with Antwone. "She should smile and laugh more." Zoe said to Dylan. The two of them were busy planting new flower seeds.

"The joys of being in love." Dylan said and looked back at his dad who was sitting comfortably back enjoying a glass of lemonade with the twins "and the joys of being the boss." He said with a smirk and nodded his head in his dads direction.

Zoe laughed.

Bonnie walked from room to room. Her fingers trailing the wall and the pictures that's hanging on the walls. She walked to Grams room and inhaled deeply. She took of her glasses and walked to Grams bed. Slowly she ran her fingers over the handmade knitted blanket.

"I have stayed away for too long Grams. How I still miss you." She picked up a picture of her and Grams. She was ten years old when that picture was taken. She had her arms around Grams from the back and smiled brightly at the camera. Grams held her arms with a soft smile on her face. They didn't had much but they had each other.

Damon knocked softly on the door. "Babe the boys and I are going to start with the barbeque. Kenz and Zoe is already preparing the salads in the kitchen."

Bonnie just nodded her head as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Hey come here." Damon said softly. He crouched down infront of her and hugged her. "She was a remarkable woman who will forever live on in your heart and that of her grand children." He said and kissed her softly on her cheek.

"I just wish she was still here. I miss her sharp tongue. Her smell. Her comforting words when everything around me suffocated me. I miss her Damon." Bonnie said teary.

"Mom are you going to make the" Kenzie said but stopped when she saw her mom crying in her dads arms.

"Your mother will join you girls later Kiddo." Damon said over his shoulder.

"Mom are you okay?" Kenzie asked softly with concern.

"I'm fine Kenz just missing your grandmother." Bonnie said and wipe her tears away.

Kenzie stood there silently looking down at her feet. "You know I have heard so many great things about Grams I wish I could have met her."

"Me too Kenz. Me too." Bonnie said and bit her bottom lip.

Kenzie walked to her mother and hugged her before leaving the room.

"This is not a day to be sad and I'm sure Sheila wouldn't want her fierce little Bonnie to cry over her although she knows that her Bonnie misses her so much. No she wants her daughter and grand kids to be happy." Damon said and kissed his wife softly on her head.

Bonnie pulled him closer and kissed him on his lips. "I love you Damon." She said and trailed her finger over his lips.

"I know." He said with a smirk and winked at her.

He pulled her up and wrapped his arms around her. "Its me and you till the end Bonnie Salvatore." He said and kissed her on the cheek.

They set up a table outside under one of the big trees.

"What can I say I'm a bad mother F when it comes to barbecuing meat." Dylan boasted.

"Hey language Buddy." Damon said and bit his bottom lip not to laugh out loud.

"Your lucky you sitting too far from me." Bonnie said to Dylan who looked all innocently all of a sudden.

The other kids hid their smiles from their parents.

It was a joyful group enjoying lunch and cracking jokes.

"So how is college life so far? Did you meet any college girls yet Antwone?" Damon asked with a smirk.

"Dad? What the hell?" Kenzie asked with a raised brow.

Bonnie kicked Damon under the table.

"What? Just curious." He said to them.

Antwone smiled and said. "I can honestly say not one that can even come close to your daughter's beauty, class and intellect."

Kenzie smiled lovingly at him.

After dinner the kids took a walk around the block with Antwone. Bonnie went to her childhood room to go through albums and to look for her diary.

Damon came in looking worried. "I'm going to take the car and go look for the kids they should have been back by now."

"They are fine Damon its good that Antwone is showing them around. I walked these streets remember? we are not animals." Bonnie said as she looked through her albums.

"That's not what I meant Bonnie."

She smiled at him and went on unpacking her box with all her personal belongings from her childhood in it.

"Is that a diary?" Damon said and pointed at a small pink book next to her.

"Uh no, just a book I used to take notes down." Bonnie said and put the book back in the box.

"Let me see." Damon said and walked to her but Bonnie quickly closed the box.

"You kept a diary? How cute." Damon said and smirked.

"Its not a diary." Bonnie said and stick her tongue out at him. She laughed hard when he picked her up and together they landed on the bed with him on top of her.

"Do that again." He said with a smile.

"Do what?" Bonnie asked innocently.

"That trick you did with your tongue miss cheeky." Damon said and poked the tip of her nose.

Bonnie looked over his shoulder and her eyes went wide and serious. "Damon my grams she's .. she's here behind you."

His eyes went wide. "Fuck!" he yelled and jumped off of her.

Bonnie grabbed her tummy and laughed out loud. "Got you!" she said with a laugh.

Damon ran his fingers through his hair. "That was not funny babe."

"I'm sorry hun I couldn't resist it." Bonnie said and laughed again.

"Did you see that Sheila? She is still using you to scare me." Damon said with a laugh and dropped down next to his wife. The two laughed. "Your sleeping on the couch tonight Mrs Salvatore and don't think you can seduce me in changing my mind I'm not that easy."

"Okay. Couch it is in my sexy black two piece with my fingers buried deep in my warm little." Bonnie said and sucked her finger.

"Just changed my mind back. Our bed with my dick buried deep inside of you." Damon said and rolled onto of her.

"What happened to I'm not easy hmm?" Bonnie asked with a smile.

"Babe when it comes to you I'm easy like a Sunday morning." Damon said with a smirk.

He peppered a laughing Bonnie with kisses.
