The tiny brunette walked down the large stair case, her hand on the railing while the other was on her stomach. Bonnie found a light colored flowy dress to wear that would still fit her and doesn't show her bump.
She entered the living room and was shocked at what she found. Damon was laying on the red sofa, his head leaning on the arm rest and his legs spread out. He was reading a book. A particular book. What to Expect When You're Expecting.
She was shocked and curious as to why he would read that. She's been meaning to go out and buy it for herself, but hadn't had the time to.
She decided to make her presence known as she took a large step forward, making sure she made a noise in the floor boards.
Damon's head instantly snapped up, retreating his eyes away from the pages of the book, and found Bonnie standing beside the sofa, a large grin across her face.
He dropped the book to his chest, and tried to cover it with his large hands. Completely unaware that Bonnie had already seen it.
They just stared at each other. Bonnie smiling goofily while Damon looked like a deer caught in head lights. His eyes were wide and alert while she had a beautiful spark in her eye that he hasn't seen in a long time.
"So," she started, her smile never faltering, "What are you doing?"
He shook his head, trying to act nonchalant, "Nothing. Just reading."
Bonnie nodded, playing along, "Right. What are you reading?" her voice sounding innocent.
He shrugged, covering the book as much as he can. He doesn't want Bonnie knowing how interested he was in her pregnancy. He didn't want her to think he was weird. Not that he was insecure or anything.
"Just-it's nothing-"
Before he knew what was happening, Bonnie swiftly leaned over the couch and grabbed the book from Damon's hands. She jogged away from the couch, crushing the book to her chest as she laughed loudly.
Damon chased after her, and in a matter of second his arms were wrapped around her trying to retrieve the book back after he used his supernatural speed.
Bonnie threw her head back slightly as she giggled to Damon grunting and groaning. Bonnie had her arms wrapped around the book like her life depended on it.
The sound of her laugh caused Damon to smile and forget about the book. He took the opportunity to tickle Bonnie's sides, hearing her giggle more as his hands tucked into her waist.
"Da-Damon" Bonnie got out between breaths as her breathing became harder from the more she laughed.
"Give up the book, Bon." he teased into her ear, she tilted her body back as it rested into his chest.
She shook her head, "N-never." she laughed some more as his tickling became harsher and Bonnie was completely out of breath. She was getting to the point she couldn't take it anymore.
She started to get antsy and try to ply away from him and kick him in the legs.
"Damon! I already saw it!" she finally admitted, causing him to sigh and let go of her.
He shook his head in annoyance, his gaze cascaded down on to the wooden floor. He didn't want Bonnie knowing anything about this. This was something he was interested in, secretly.
A big grin appeared at the end of Bonnie's lips, "Why are you reading that book?"
All he did was shrug. It was all he could think of at the moment.
She didn't accept that answer, "I'm serious, Damon. What's going on?"
He remained silent, not wanting to put his guard down. He didn't trust himself around Bonnie and the way he can open up to her so easily.
Finally, after a harsh glare from the pregnant Bonnie, he sighed and reluctantly started speaking, "I just...I just wanted to know what you were going through in the pregnancy. I was curious, that's all." he shrugged he shoulders like it was no big deal.
Bonnie smiled, liking this now blushing side of Damon, "Well, I think that's sweet of you to care, Damon." She smiled sweetly to him and he scowled at her in return.
"Don't call me sweet." He grumbled as his face heated up and his blush deepened in his cheeks.
Bonnie smirked innocently, as she pulled the book away from her chest and opened it, and skimmed through it flipping over pages as she stood there, her hair pushed back behind her ear, curious as to the way her body will continue to change.
Damon stared at Bonnie, who was oblivious to it. He liked the way she bit the corner of her mouth when she was focusing on something or the way she scrunched her eye brow in deep thought like she was doing at this very moment. A smirk appeared on Damon's face and he opened his mouth, not regretting his upcoming words.
"I like the way the pregnancy is making your boobs look. And your ass isn't bad either."
Her eyes widened and she quickly pulled her head up and looked at Damon, completely bewildered by his statement. A sudden blush arose in her cheeks as Bonnie fought back a smile.
"Is that supposed to be a compliment?" her eyebrow raised in a questioning way.
Damon shrugged, "Take it how you want it, little witch."
She shook her head at his foolishness, not letting her self take him seriously. She knows she can't get caught up in his flirting and sweetness. She doesn't want to get hurt. Her or the baby.
After a few more minutes of playful bantering back and forth, Bonnie knew she needed to tell Damon. He was bound to find out sooner or later since most of Mystic Falls knows now.
"Damon, there's something I need to tell you." she told him abruptly, catching him slightly off guard.
He didn't miss a beat as he nodded his head, "Okay."
She cleared her throat before explaining to him, "Uhm, I got a letter from a college."
Damon's eyebrows creased together in confusion, "College? So you are going?" he asked, now slightly afraid to where this conversation was leading them. What if she takes the baby with her somewhere far away from me? What if she leaves me?
"I got into University of Pennsylvania." she decided to come right out with it. There was no use of dragging it out. He deserved to know what she was thinking.
Damon's eyes widened into something of shock and what looked like anger flashed in his blue eyes.
Bonnie frowned as she watched Damon's expressions change within himself.
The vampire let out a dry laugh and shook his head, smiling bitterly to himself, unaware that he was slightly frightening Bonnie, "Wow. Of course. You got into UPENN."
Bonnie let out a breath before jumping to her defense, "Look, I didn't even send in an application-"
"I know."
That caught Bonnie off guard.
"You what?" She couldn't help but ask, wondering if she heard him correctly.
He ran a hand through his raven black hair, and shook his head again, "I know you didn't send in an application, witch, because I did."
Now Bonnie was extremely confused, "Wh-what? You did? No you didn't." she shook her head, "You didn't know I wanted to go to that school. Hell, it was in my house! You weren't invited in until January and applications for the fall semester were already cut off by then!"
Now Damon was frowning. He didn't want to admit this to her, hell he had forgot he even did it when he found out she was pregnant. He's been so focused on their living arrangements and the pregnancy, that he forgot about what he did the morning after they slept together.
"The morning after we first slept together...right after you kicked me out of the bedroom and set my ass on fire..." she sent him a glare telling him to get on with it and he nodded his head giving in, "Anyway, while you were up in your bedroom sulking over your lost virginity I was making myself at home down stairs.
"I was fooling around in your kitchen, kind of feeling guilty over the whole "taking advantage of you" thing that I was trying to wrap my mind and think of something to make it up to you...Well I was bored so I went through some of your drawers for ideas..." he admitted sheepishly and Bonnie sent him a glare that he ignored, "That's when I found the application. I remember eavesdropping on a conversation you had with Caroline and Elena once about UPENN being your dream school. " he shrugged.
"So I thought getting you into the Ivy league college you've always wanted to go to would make you forgive me." And possibly have hot amazing sex with me again, he added mentally.
Bonnie suddenly felt betrayed. How could he do this to her? "You compelled my way in there? Damon how could you? These past two days I've been feeling proud of myself. The first girl from Mystic Falls to get into an Ivy league school." she shook her head sadly, "I should have known it was to good to be true."
Damon shook his head instantly and wished he took back his words, "No! I swear to you I didn't compel you in to the school. I just compelled them to look at your application, that's it." He admitted honestly, hoping she will believe him.
Bonnie took his words into consideration. She can tell he was being completely honest with her and she knew she could trust him. Damn crush.
"Just, no more surprises. Please, Damon. I think I've had enough for the year...but thank you, that really means a lot to me." her voice was sincere, Damon inwardly smiled and was proud of himself for impressing his little witch.
That reminded Bonnie of her odd feeling she had with Kristen. The way the girl spoke, as if she knew what Bonnie was really hiding from everyone in Mystic Falls.
"There's uhm, there's this girl at my school. She acted like she knew about...the baby."
Damon frowned as his face twisted to one of confusion, "What? That's impossible."
Bonnie shook her head, "I'm serious, Damon. It was the way she spoke and the way she simply looked at me-"
Damon rolled his eyes, "Bon, you're just paranoid because you're starting to show-"
"Damn it, Damon! Listen to me!"
They books stood, staring at each other shocked to her raising her voice the way she did. Damon's never seen Bonnie yell like that or snap at him that way. And to be honest, he was totally turned on by his little witch standing up for herself.
Bonnie's chest rose up and down and she felt all the energy stand within her. She felt empowered, she felt...free. She never felt anything like it before, she absolutely loved every second of it.
"Damon...I..." she couldn't form the words, she couldn't describe the immense strength A
He instantly rushed to her, worried something was wrong, "What's the matter, Bon? Is it the baby-"
"Damon...I...I have all this power within me..."
A smile broke out on to the soon to be father's face, "It's the baby." his voice was low and ecstatic. He sounded intrigued by the little thing his witch was carrying, the little thing apart of him and her.
Her hands found her stomach as she placed them over her abdomen. The baby must not like it when his or her parent's are fighting. She used her right hand to pull both his Damon's hands on top of hers, so they can feel their child together. No, he or she wasn't moving or kicking, it was to soon for any of that, but they baby held power. Power, both the supernatural's were able to feel.
Damon heard the precious heart beat and inwardly swooned. Without thinking he leaned over and pressed his lips in a chaste kiss to Bonnie's, surprising the young witch, leaving her in a daze.
"I can't wait for our baby to be here, Bonnie..." he admitted, acting as if what he had done seconds before didn't happen at all.
His voice brought Bonnie back to reality. Damon just kissed her. She tried to hide her blush as she bit back the huge grin that threatened to appear as she mumbled, "Me too, Damon."
They were both surprised at how much they had admitted to each other just saying those few simply words. Damon ended up opening up to Bonnie anyway and she found her self falling hard for the psychotic vampire.
Thoughts of Kristen, and college were now out the window and far from their minds as the two of them stood together in silence, just taking a minute, to enjoy the warmth of each other and the power radiating from Bonnie, by their baby.
A/N- So I want to thank you all so much for the alerts, follows, and reviews! It was close, but I now know whether or not the baby will be a boy or a girl so thank you all for voting you're amazing! And I wanted just to write a light fluff chapter on Damon and Bonnie's growing relationship.
And I just need to say, but Did you see TVD last night? OMG, how adorable was BAMON at the end?! I swear that is my new favorite scene in ALL of TVD history now!
Anyways, thanks for reading! Until next time(;
