~Damon's POV~
"Look at me, Damon. Really, look at me." She told me and so I did. I took in her features from top to bottom but it was when I looked up again that I saw what she meant. The necklace Amaryllis had worn everyday since it was gifted, the very one that had disappeared from his wife's body, was around her neck. But that wasn't all because the moment I looked at her eyes, I knew.
"Snowflake?" I said breathless and she smiled.
"Prince of the Woods." At hearing the title, we'd kept secret, that she'd given me as children I couldn't stop myself from grabbing hold and kissing her. The taste of her lips was just as I remembered, vanilla and the sweetness of mulberries.
"How is this possible? Did Stefan kill me after he snapped my neck and this is heaven? No, Stefan's here so that's out considering being near his is hell on its own. How are you alive?" I pulled her by the hand to sit in my lap not willing to let her go.
"Magic." she said with a short breathless laugh, her hand brought mine to her stomach and my eyes widened. The stomach I knew had been flat this morning thanks to her dress was now curved. "It was the moonstone. Samuel Bennett said that it could always reunite it's owner with whoever they love most. It brought our baby back when I remembered."
He couldn't believe it, but with only silence at the moment he could pick up the heartbeats coming from inside her but as he listened closely his brows furrowed. "Three."
"What?" She looked up at me.
"I can hear three hearts beating. The loudest is slower then the other two. That's yours." I looked into her eyes. "Twins?" A crash came from the doorway and I stiffened, I'd been so focused on having her back that I forgot, Zach had been listening in this whole time.
"Don't." She said having noticed and I forced myself to relax only to stiffen when she got up and walked towards him. Zach staring at her with an emotion he didn't care for at all. "Zach. It's been awhile."
"I-"
"Zach, it's time." I watched as Zach's eyes went wide and filled with more joy then I'd ever seen in him.
"Time for what?" Zach looked at Stefan and then me briefly before turning back to her without a care, irritating me even more.
"You're sure?" she nodded at him a small smile on her face. "I'll grab the papers." He ran upstairs and I looked at her.
"Papers?" Stefan asked as I asked my own.
"How do you know Zach? And why the hell was he looking at you like that?"
"I grew up here, Damon. Again." She turned to face me and Stefan. "He looks at me the way he does because I saved his wife and daughter."
"Zach is married?/What?"
"She's around Jeremy's age."
"Jeremy? Elena's brother?"
"Yes, he's my nephew." Stefan's eye went wide as he stared at her.
"Damon called you Amelia when we were outside."
"It's my name, this time around."
"You're the aunt Elena told me was always getting her in trouble because you hate her." The two of us scoffed.
"I told you the double is trouble./Elena gets herself in trouble." The two of us met eyes and smiled. Stefan ignored me but stared at her, his eyes showing his confliction.
"Look, Stefan. I know you probably don't want to hear it but I'm going to say it anyways." She said as she stared him down. "Elena's mother, Miranda gave her everything and would let her get away with anything. Elena's spoiled and manipulative and selfish. She has this idea that the world should bow to her and when it doesn't she uses anything and anyone to get rid of whatever's in her way, without considering the consequences." Stefan shook his head at her from his seat on the couch.
"No, she told me everything. Even about how you stole Matt from her just because you could. You're jealous."
"Matt?/Who's Matt?" She laughed out the name while I asked. Her eyes flickered to me before returning to Stefan.
"I'm related to Matt. Distantly but we are still cousins even if their great-grandfather was disinherited. Matt and his sister Vicki along with Jeremy are practically my children." She looked at him in disbelief, as he looked at her in shock. Looks like Elena's lies were going to catch up to her sooner then she might have thought. He thought, a smirk growing on his face. Wait, if they're basically hers, doesn't that mean? Shit. "While Miranda was off with Elena, I was the one taking care of Jeremy despite the fact that physically, I'm only six years older then him!" I could see the anger burning in her eyes. "As for Matt and Vicki. After they're mother up and abandoned them for her latest boy-toy they moved into my house." Her eyes were like ice as she glared at Stefan. So hot. "I let him and his sister move into Maxwell Manor after it was finished being renovated when they found out they had to either pay for their tiny apartment or were going to be kicked out. They're my family but I guess that doesn't mean jack because as Elena said I stole him from her." She put a sweet smile on her. "And what Elena say, is always right. Isn't it, little brother?"
Stefan watched as she walked out of the room before putting his head in his hands and I walked to his side. "You going to tell me 'I told you so'?" He looked up at me.
"No. I'm pretty sure I'm already doing that in your head and will for awhile. You beautiful moron." I looked at him with a smirk and raised my brows before following after my wife. I have got to find out about those kids we apparently adopted. Shit, we're not married as far as the rest of the world is concerned Oh well, I'll just have to propose again.
