A/N: Thanks for everyone that read my last update, means a lot to me for those of you that did. I must admit the last chapter was sort of lame, so hopefully this chapter will make up for it. What inspired this chapter was how much I hate 'Delena.' I honestly cannot stand that relationship. I'm sorry to those of you that do, and want a 'Delena' fanfic but I can almost promise you that it's never going to happen for me. I am one hundred percent BAMON!

Summary: 'We found each other in the dark.'

Disclaimer: I own nothing, but boy if I did…there would be a lot of changes!

Previously on 'Beautiful Nightmares…'

"Ha. Wow. Then I think we should hold off on our wedding. I thought Klaus was lying when he said that you were only asking me to marry you out of guilt. I should've known…"

"No wait…Bonnie. No. Bonnie!"

Bonnie shook her head repeatedly before slipping off her engagement ring off her finger, her hands shaky when she reached out and dropped it in the palms of his hands.

`!`

Damon Salvatore wasn't the one to loathe on something, especially a girl. But Bonnie Bennett wasn't just some 'girl' Bonnie Bennett was soon to be his wife, hell he was the one that proposed. Which gave him all the reason to rage at this predicament. Yet, this was typical. First it was Katherine, then it was Elena. Now it was Bonnie, His Bonnie—

Naturally Damon would sit there and pity himself into an alcohol induced coma (if that were even possible) and sob in the desaturation of suffering. But Damon was done suffering, he refused to let Bonnie walk away from him. Walk away from what they had, they had a son. And that wasn't all, Damon loved her. He said it, he loved her. He didn't understand why it was so hard to spit the words off his tongue when she asked, but if he could admit it to himself now, he sure as hell could admit it now if she asked him again.

Damon ran his hands down his black hair, watching as his elbow skinned his cheek softly. The texture of his skin still reeked of Bonnie, but it was the guilt reek. The reminder of Bonnie's flesh on him, was agonizing enough.

Fight for her Damon, he thought.

Damon licked his lips, slipping out of bed slowly. He bit his lips when the scent of strawberries motioned in his direction. There was something about the smell, the scent too distant to be familiar. Yet, he knew exactly obtained that smell. He chewed on the inside of his jaw, leaning on the frame of his bed with his limbs folded. He eyed Bentley who was eying him carefully; sitting on the edge of his color drawing chair. Damon forced out a smile, curving his lips when Bentley waved at him. Damon waved back slowly, then edged towards the door when he saw the knob twist and turn aggressively.

"Damon…"

The door opened slowly, making a slight screeching noise when it cracked open. Damon grimaced at the face, folding his arms across his chest.

"Elena please leave." Damon growled.

"Damon I can't, you need to go get Bonnie and tell her that you made a mistake."

Are you fucking kidding me?

"Elena…" Pause. "I don't need to explain anything to you, so never mind."

"You don't have to explain anything to me Damon, but you need to explain to Bonnie that you love her and—

"I love Bonnie!"

Elena flinched, running her hands through her soft brown hair before making her way over towards him. Damon frowned, inching backwards almost falling on his bed when he caught off balance. Elena snickered before touching his elbow with her hand lightly. Damon licked his lips, before he glanced down at Bonnie's engagement ring that was sitting on his desk lamp. Damon noticed Elena glance in his direction, sighing before she picked it p with her thumb and index finger.

"You need to find her, and return this to her."

Damon glanced at Bentley who was ripping the tips of his shirt with his nails, tearing it into small pieces at each scratch. Damon looked over back at Elena who was staring at Bonnie's engagement ring.

"She thinks I still have feelings for you." Damon mumbled.

Elena shrugged, putting the engagement ring on her middle finger idly before slipping it off quickly. Damon watched her closely, wondering what she could possibly say next.

"Do you?" Elena asks.

"I loved you Elena, you knew that I did. But, you broke my heart and…"

"Damon that shouldn't be the reason you're getting involved with Bonnie. She's my best friend, and she means the absolute world to me. I don't want you to date Bonnie because she's your rebound from me."

Damon gritted his teeth, fighting the urge to push her into the nearest wall. How dare she accuse him of using Bonnie as some second choice?

"I mean honestly Damon its quite obvious that you haven't fully gotten over your feelings for me." Elena brokenly whispered.

Damon eyed her, clinching his jaws before he pressed his fingers into the palms of his hands. He felt his skin boil, reaching a new temperature. He was never this hot. The more Damon realized it, the more he could see right through Elena. She was nothing remotely close to selfless, in fact she was quite the opposite. What happened to 'she's my best friend, and she means the absolute world to me?'

"Damon I know you love Bonnie, but you cant love two people at once. You and I never really had closure on our feelings for one another. I mean you never really told me that you don't love me anymore, so I can see where Bonnie is coming from on this one. Why marry someone you don't trust?"

This was enough.

"You know what Elena your right." Pause. "I never really told you that I didn't love you anymore…" Damon scoffed lacking humor. "So let me tell you now, I don't love you Elena. I'm over you, and never will I be stupid enough nor fucking desperate enough to ever come crawling back to you. Bonnie is the only women that I need, and the only women that I want. And you should feel like shit for saying that about Bonnie, for being her 'best friend'…you sure as hell don't act like it."

"Damon I…" Elena froze. "You can't break up…"

"Elena we never were and we never will be, get over yourself. Being desperate isn't cute on you."

"So that's it huh? Those things you said to me before you kissed me were all a lie?"

"Elena please, you and I both know I was only saying it out of despite of not having anything to do that night."

"You're lying!" Elena ran her hand through her hair, wiping her nose as she began to cry. "You love me and only me, you can't love Bonnie. She isn't good for you, and you're not good for her. Don't you see that this could be a sign that you two shouldn't get married? You two just walked right into this, and everyone agrees with me when I say that you two are walking into this marriage head first." Pause. "Damon don't do this to yourself or Bonnie, I have this feeling that something is going to happen if you don't do anything about it now."

"You know this is supposed to be the happiest moment our lives and here you are trying to fuck it up!" Damon said walking past her.

"Damon where are you going?"

"To find my fiancé, because like it or not princess I am marrying her. And you want to know why Elena? Because I fucking love her; I love Bonnie, and for once in my life she makes me feel human, she makes me feel happy, and she makes me feel stronger than I ever have before. And I thought that you of all people would be happy for me, obviously I was fooled. You're nothing but an ungrateful bitch Elena."

Elena bit her lip, before slapping him across the face. She flinched at the stinging sensation she felt on her right hand.

"Don't you ever talk to me like that again Damon." Elena threatened.

Damon growled before pushing her out of his way almost too forcefully, he took Bentley and carried him. Not saying another word to her, he picked up his car keys and took a couple of shirts.

"Damon." Elena whispered. "…I'm sorry."

"Don't ever put your fucking hands on me again, or I'll forget to control myself to put mine on you." Damon growled before exiting his room.

Bitch, Damon thought as he headed down the stairs.

`!`

"I won't stop at anything, I need that witch." Klaus mumbled.

Katherine exhaled, running her hands down the cut in the middle of her stomach. Katherine smiled, nodding her head when Klaus hovered over her.

"But first I insists on taking down Damon, that pussy infested loser tried to kill me. He thought he killed me, how dare he think he could get rid of me that easily?" Katherine breathed, pulling her hair into a pony tail.

"Then we shall unite and take them both down together."

"And how should we do this? My specialty is pain and suffering. "

Klaus hummed at the sound of that, reaching forward to cup Katherine's cheeks in the palms of his hands. He smiled kissing her viciously on the mouth, touching the sides of her face with his knuckles. Katherine arose from her chair, pushing him into the nearest wall, jamming her tongue in his mouth. Klaus grunted, ripping her shirt into pieces.

"Let us do this with no mercy, Damon and Bonnie and Bentley will feel the raft of pain and suffering."

"To pain and suffering." Katherine mumbled.

Klaus nibbled on her neck, kissing the sides of her shoulder before he wiggled his eyebrows.

"To pain and suffering." Klaus agreed.

`!`

Damon knocked on Bonnie's door aggressively, he was irritated and wanted to come inside. Damon frowned before he knocked on the door again, watching as Bentley looked up at him and smiled. Damon held him close to his chest, before ringing the doorbell.

"Bonnie open the damn door it's me!" Damon yelled.

Damon swallowed when he heard shuffling at the foot of the door, for some reason he felt himself getting nervous. This had to be an allusion; Damon wasn't the type to get nervous. Damon licked his lips, setting Bentley down to his feet lightly. Damon smiled at Bentley when he took Damon's hand with one of his; intertwining their fingers at his touch.

When the door cracked open, Damon straightened his leather jacket. Looking at the frame of the door as it began to open. He bit onto his lower lip, before easing towards the door absentmindedly. Damon smiled, at the familiar body figure standing in front of him.

"Hi." Damon tried softly.

"Mommy!" Bentley screeched; releasing his grasps from Damon.

"Ben!" Bonnie exhaled.

Bonnie ran her fingers through her hair, smiling when Bentley ran up to her: wrapping his arms around her skinny mocha legs. Bonnie picked him up eagerly, pressing her soft pink lips against the roots of his hair. She smiled when he kissed her lips softly, holding both her cheeks in the palms of his hands.

"I missed you; it's been like a billion million trillion years since I saw you mommy! Are you mad at daddy? He missed you a lot he was crying the other day, he said that there was some dust in his eyes, but I didn't see anything…I checked. I wonder if there was something else in his eyes, but I don't think so. Mommy! Mommy! The other day Daddy took me to the park, and we played in the ponds and we played catch. Mommy! Can you take me to the park? Oh please mommy? Mommy…are you mad at daddy? " Bentley blurted out his words so fast, Bonnie couldn't keep up.

Bonnie hesitated at his question, looking up at Damon who looked as if he was wondering the same thing. Bonnie ran her fingers through her hair, before squeezing Bentley idly.

"Well?" Damon asked.

Damon ignored his comment, motioning Damon to come inside as she set Bentley down in her living room. Bonnie pulled the end of her shirt down, realizing that she forgot to put pants on. Then again, it was nothing Damon hadn't seen before. She fumbled with the lace on her panties, wondering if she should rush upstairs and throw some pants on real quick.

"Bentley was right when he said it's been like a billion years since he saw you." Damon mumbled.

Bonnie sniffled, reaching for Bentley's stomach to tickle it before leaving him alone. She chewed on her bottom lip, eying Damon carefully. He looked a mess, his hair was a lot longer than she last saw it, and his nails were flimsy and long. Damon grew a slight beard, and he looked paler (if that was even possible).

It had only been three weeks since she had seen Damon lasts, yet it felt like centuries. She had to admit, she did miss him…a lot. But, she wasn't going to jump into something with Damon unless she knew she was absolutely positive about it. Of course she thought she was, yet perspective had a fancy way of proving her wrong.

Bonnie swallowed, thinking of something to say. She didn't want to say the wrong thing, then again she wanted to get her point across. She at least deserved to give him some type of explanation as to why her feelings were so hurt. After all, they were supposed to be engaged.

"It's only been three weeks Damon," Bonnie finally clarified.

"How come you never picked up the phone when I called?"

"I needed some time to think."

"Or ignore me?" Damon question, inching his way closer.

"I wasn't ignoring you Damon, I told you I needed some time to think about things…think about us."

"You know I felt like pure shit without you right?"

"What do you want me to say Damon?"

"Damn it Bonnie, I want you to tell me the truth!"

Damon was in front of her in seconds, pushing her into the corner of the wall. He looked over at his shoulder, wondering if Bentley was watching. Looking at his son, he saw Bentley absentmindedly running up and down the steps of Bonnie's home.

"Damon let go of me," Bonnie brokenly whispered.

"No! Not until you tell me that you love me, and you're not walking out on us."

"You love Elena."

"Fuck Elena!"

Bonnie scoffed, trying to release herself from his grip. She pushed at his chest, wincing at the slight pain it was giving her In her knuckles. Bonnie felt her fangs pop out, hardening around her lips. Her veins pushing through her skin, as her eyes spiraled around in excitement.

"See you can't even say it," Bonnie said; almost crying as she finally pulled away from him.

"I told you I don't have feelings for Elena Bonnie, why is it so hard for you to believe that?"

"Because you haven't told me! I need to hear you say it Damon." Pause. "Please."

Bonnie felt herself choking on her own words, watching as Damon eased his way over towards her. Damon ran his fingers down the side of Bonnie's face, capturing her cheeks with the palms of his hands. Damon licked his lips, before he pressed his forehead to hers.

"There are many reasons why I love you Bonnie Bennett." Damon started.

"Let me hear them," Bonnie breathed, kissing his lips slowly before she put her forehead onto his. Damon smiled then nodded, before he twirled his index finger in the locks of her curls.

"I don't know where to begin," Damon admitted. Damon kissed her tenderly, running his hands down her neck. Bonnie intertwined his fingers in the nape of his hair, watching as he exhaled.

"I want to hear why Damon," Bonnie breathed.

"Well I thought I might tell you first, that before I came here I told Elena that I didn't love her anymore…"

"Really?" Bonnie asked; feeling her nerves catch up with her. Damon smiled at her enthusiasm, reaching over to the end of her blouse.

"Yes, and I told her that I don't love her anymore. I made it clear to her Bonnie, the moment you walked out on me, was the moment that I truly realized I don't want to spend my life with anyone else but you. I love you Bonnie, and I would never do anything to hurt you. I promise you everything and more, if you stay with me."

"Damon I—

"Let me finish, I don't have feelings for Elena anymore, and I'm not rushing into this marriage because of Bentley. I want to marry you Bonnie, and I have never been so sure about that in my entire life. I want you, and only you. I don't want Katherine, I don't want Elena, no one Bonnie: but you. You make me feel whole, and every moment I spend with you I can feel myself becoming more alive…more human. You keep me sane, and…"

Before Damon could finish, Bonnie crushed her lips to his. That's all she needed to here, and so much more. All she wanted to know was that she had Damon all to herself: forever. Bonnie felt the kiss rush, tension overpowering. Damon ran his tongue around the entrance of her lips, pushing through. His tongue flicking across her tongue, fighting for dominance. Damon smiled in between kisses, as Bonnie released herself for air. Damon licked his lips, pressing his forehead to hers.

"Now do me a favor and never take this off again," Damon mumbled.

Damon pulled out Bonnie's engagement ring out of his back pocket, shifting so he could put it on her ring finger. Damon kissed her again, pulling her shirt above her perky breasts. Damon licked his lips, eager to make love to her. He hadn't in a while, and he missed being inside her. He needed to connect with her in the closest way possible. That is until Bonnie grunted when Damon started to nibble on her neck.

"Damon I would, but we can't." Bonnie whispered.

"Oh come on that's no fun, how about a quickie?" Damon asked.

"I don't want to have sex with you with Ben in the room."

"So we can put him to sleep in your room and get started."

"Damon!" Bonnie exclaimed; hitting his shoulder playfully.

Damon smiled, kissing her earlobe lightly. Bonne missed this, she missed this a lot. She needed to be touched by Damon. And the way his hands were caressing her hips, was making her regret her decision of not sleeping with him.

"So about our wedding…" Damon started. "…I think we should get married sooner."

"Really? You don't think that would rush our guests? Caroline said she is almost finished, and I have to go get fitted for my dress."

"Do you know what kind of dress you're getting?" Damon pricked her panties with his index finger, smiling deviously when she flinched at his touch. Bonnie smiled at his touch, then sighed when she moved his hands to her hips. Damon wiggled his eyebrows playfully, pushing his thumbs up her stomach.

"My mom's old one," Bonnie brokenly whispered. "Well its bits and pieces, Caroline revised and edited it a lot of it though. I saw what it looked like a couple of weeks ago, it's beautiful."

"Bonnie Salvatore. I can't wait," Damon murmured; so lightly almost to himself.

"Neither can I." Bonnie agreed.

"And our honeymoon, it's going to blow your mind." Damon said; wiggling his brows. "You're going to love it."

"Really? You still haven't told me where were going yet." Bonnie reminded.

"I know, it's a surprise" Damon whispered near her ear.

Bonnie smiled, licking her lips when she wrapped her arms around his neck. She kissed him, before slipping her way around him. Sighing as she began to pick up Bentley.

"Mommy can we go to the park? Daddy said that we can go again!" Bentley said. "Please oh please oh please mommy?" Bentley begged jumping on her chest.

"Yes but mommy needs to go get changed." Bonnie said playfully.

Bentley squealed, kissing her before he tugged on her arm. Bonnie followed behind Bentley, running with him up the stairs. Bonnie turned around, running her hair behind her ear when she glanced at Damon. Bonnie walked down the stairs slowly, taking Damon's hand with hers: intertwining their fingers. Bentley sighed when Damon kissed her gently, then Bentley pulled the both of them with his new strength.

"Stop kissing that's gross! Let's go to the park! Park! Park! Park!" Bentley yelled over and over as he tugged them along upstairs to Bonnie's room.

Damon wrapped his arms around Bonnie's waist, when Bonnie picked up Bentley. They were all joined, limbs around limbs. Damon kissed Bonnie's hair, then ran his hands through Bentleys short brown hair. Damon smiled looking into Bentley's blue eyes. Bonnie released himself from Damon's hold, then headed into her room with Bentley to change.

Damon snickered in the background, folding his arms across his chest. This is how it should be: one happy family. Damon knew that this was only the start of something beautiful…start of forever.

`!`

Next on "Beautiful Nightmares…"

"I can't believe we're doing this." Damon brokenly whispered; slightly nervous.

"I know. But I have never been so ready for something in my entire life."

"Good me either." Damon mumbled on her lips, before kissing them.
