Chapter Thirty Two
"Let's just hope all the good stuff isn't a bad omen." Elena half joked. "Believe me baby, if there was a bad omen coming our way, Bonnie would let us know." And then as if it was planned by fate, Damon's phone rang. "Who is it?" Elena asked. "It's Bonnie..." Damon told her. "Hey Bon Bon everything alright?" "Hey Damon its not Bonnie it's your favorite brother in law, my phone died I'm borrowing Bonnie's. Anyways, when you get back to Mystic Falls I need you to check on the extra surprise I had planned for Bonnie." "Sure thing brother. In fact I will call Caroline right now and have her check on it." "Thanks man, I appreciate it."
"What was that all about?" Elena asked. "Oh nothing, Jer has a surprise set up for Bon Bon back at their place that the gang is working on, and I told him I would have Caroline check on it, but now that I think about it I should really just call Matt to check on it, at least I know he won't blow the surprise." "And what is that supposed to mean?" Elena teased elbowing him in the ribs. "Ow, that actually sorta hurt." "Oh no, did I hurt the big bad Damon Salvatore, oh no I'm so scared." Elena teased. "Oh that's good... you're hilarious , I almost believed you for a minute. You're just lucky you're adorable." Elena looked at Damon with a look he had learned he was gonna have to come accustomed to in the next upcoming months ahead if he had any chance of surviving her hormonal changes and rapid appetite bursts and declines. "On my drive here Lena I saw a little Italian restaurant the sign said open till midnight, and it nowhere near midnight." Damon told her with a wink. "Okay... I could go for a slice of pizza right now." Elena told him licking her lips. "Funny, I could too." Damon smiled.
Back at the cabin Bonnie was snuggled under a blanket on the couch against Jeremys chest. "This is so perfect Jer, just sitting here by the fire,it's so peaceful." "I know, and I know we will get through all of this, its like your grams told me at Carolines birthday party when you collapsed you're strong, and because you are strong, you make me strong." Jeremy told her sweetly. Suddenly a breeze filled the room but all the windows were closed. Jeremy's hunter instincts kicked in immediately. "Who's there! Show yourself!" Jeremy shouted. And as he did Sheila Bennett appeared from around the corner quietly trying not to spook them. "It's just me kids." "Grams? What are you doing here?" "Well to be honest, I think it's that little one in there doing it. But I wanted to stop by and see how you were feeling." "I'm fine, just worried about the baby, if my visions are right then everything we thought we knew is gonna change the minute this baby is born and the same goes for Damon and Elena's baby." "Bonnie Bennett! I am stunned, I am stunned that you think that these babies will change anything, you should know by know your life was always meant to be extraordinary. These babies may be different but that's okay, these babies are gonna need all the love they can get, because when they are old enough to understand what they are ,they should know." Sheila told them. "You're right Grams you're right." Bonnie agreed "I know I am child." Sheila said with a reassuring smile, then gave Bonnie a knowing look and was gone in a blink.
"You okay Bon?" Jeremy asked. "Of course I am. And I know she is always around when ever I need her." "Well if you ever feel like there is anything you want to talk about, anything at all, I'm here, I love you Bonnie, you're my wife and no matter what happens I will protect you and our baby always." "I know." Bonnie acknowledged, trying to not get choked up. "I'm sorry Jer." "Sorry? Sorry for what?" "For all of this. You and I both know what this baby is, and what happens if their basic instinct is to hurt half of the people we call family. Can you handle that Jer?" "Yeah, I can, if our baby turns out to be like us, then we will handle it." "But Jer, can you handle it if our child tries to kill Stefan or Caroline? Or even worse, what if our child tries to kill Jenna, could you handle it then." "Bonnie, calm down if our baby turns out to be a badass hunter like me and an even more badass witch like you like your visions having been saying then I know I can handle it. I know I can handle it because we have been through worse and hopefully those days are behind us now. And besides if your visions are true, then our baby is the least of our worries, and we should be worrying about how Damon is gonna react when you tell him the news." "Do you think we should tell them here?" Bonnie asked. "I know Elenas here. I could tell Damon had something on his mind when he left, and it is usually Elena. And then I texted Care some scenery pics from our drive to the cabin, and when I mentioned that she should show them to Elena she told me that Elena came up here to surprise Damon." "Ohh, well that explains a lot. Maybe we should tell them since they are both here, and I know one way to soften the blow at least for Damon." "Let me guess... Bourbon?" Bonnie guessed. "Yup, there is this place near where my school is that has all specialty crafted bourbons and things, I'm really surprised Damon didn't notice it the first time he and my sister were here." "Well then let's go." Bonnie said quickly darting up from the couch and made her way towards the door. "Umm Bon, I think you're forgetting something?" "What?" "How about shoes and maybe a jacket, it was getting a bit chilly when we got back." Jeremy reminded her of the reason why he put logs in the fireplace to begin with. "Oh yeah. Whoops." Bonnie blushed.
As they drove to the specialty shop they noticed Damon's car parked outside of the Italian restaurant that he and his buddies always went to after late night study sessions. "Hey I think they're at the pizza place, after we pick up the bourbon for Damon do you wanna just stop in there, they can't throw a fit if its in public." Jeremy asked. "Have you met Damon, he will throw a fit if he wants to throw a fit." Bonnie half joked. "You're right, you're right." Jeremy tried not to laugh at the idea of Damon flipping out. As they arrived at the specialty shop Bonnie explained the bourbon she had in mind. "It was the oldest bourbon we had in the house in the prison world. And we made a pact..." Bonnie began but before she could finish Jeremy cut her off. "I know, we were there when you watching the home video and well you know the rest." "So that's how the atlas ended up on the floor." "In one way or another, yeah, but regardless are you sure this bourbon is the right choice Bon?" " Yeah I do, because even though it was the oldest bourbon in the house and we did what we did, it was one of Damon's favorites and it will soften the blow." "Okay well then that's the one we will get." Jeremy told her.
A little while later after purchasing the bourbon and arriving at the Italian restaurant Jeremy noticed Bonnie was nervous. "Hey, hey, Bon, relax, everything will be okay. And if it's not then I will fix it. Okay?" "Okay." Bonnie sighed. They walked hand in hand into the restaurant with the bottle of bourbon beautifully gift wrapped in Jeremys empty hand. They saw Damon and Elena sitting at a table smiling and laughing as they enjoyed their multiple topping pizza. "Here goes nothing." Bonnie sighed and the newlyweds walked over to break the news.
As they walked up to Damon and Elena's table they realized how truly invisible they were, Damon and Elena were in their own blissful bubble and in that moment Bonnie was about to regret her choice to tell them anything. But then Jeremy cleared his throat breaking them out of their bubble just for a moment. "Oh hey Big Jer, Sabrina... how goes the honeymoon?" Damon greeted them, Elena shook her head. "Damon, Elena we need to talk." Bonnie told them seriously. "Are you breaking up with us Bon Bon...?" Damon joked. "Damon this is serious!" Bonnie scolded. Damon nodded silently and raised his hands slightly as if to surrender. "Here man, just in case you take the news bad, this particular bottle was Bonnie's idea." Jeremy explained handing Damon the gift wrapped bottle of bourbon. Damon was curious and unwrapped it. "What the hell! Bonnie this is the you know what bourbon." Damon said in shock. "Yes I'm aware of that, but once upon a time it was one of your favorites and it meant more to you than the pact we made in 1994." "Okay fine, give it to me straight Bonnie." Damon requested seriously. "So you know how I've been having visions here and there..?" Damon and Elena both nodded signaling that they understood. "Okay well, in several of these visions I see Jers and my baby with a full hunter's mark on her arm." "I don't understand, Silas is dead the cure is gone how is that even possible?" Elena asked. "Well remember how I brought back the cure from the 1994 prison world?" "Yeah how could I forget." Elena smiled. "Well how do you think I got it." "Oh right... was there a creepy calcified Silas there too?" Damon asked bluntly. "Honestly I'm not really sure, there was something that looked like him but it could have been me losing my mind..." Bonnie told them losing focus.
"Anyways now back to the real issue why we're here. The other thing that I have been seeing in my visions is about your baby." And it was as if Damon read her mind. " I swear Bon if you so much as even think it..." Damon was turning red. "I'm so sorry Damon. But I thought it was best if you both heard it from me rather than a stranger after she is born." "Dammit Bon, do you have to spoil everything!" Damon huffed. Elena was confused, it was like her best friend and her husband were speaking in code. "Okay can someone please tell me what the hell is going on here!" Elena nearly shouted. "It's rather simple Elena, our sister in law is basically telling us that in her visions, not only will we have a beautiful baby girl but she will be the next petrova doppelgänger in your bloodline." Damon told her calmly, but was blood boiling mad on the inside. Elena nearly spit out her water when he told her.
"Well then that would explain the dream I had." Elena began. "What dream baby?" Damon asked. "The other night I had a dream about my mom, she was sitting on the porch swing with a little girl that I thought was me because she looked identical to how I looked at that age, but then I heard her call my name and wave me over. It was like I was there with her, it felt so real. And then suddenly in a blink it was night time, and the little girl and I were watching one of my favorite memories play out..." "Oh really? What did you see?"Damon asked curiously. "It was the first time we met, the real first time,the time I told you about my argument with Matt and you told me what I wanted. But in that moment as we watched each second pass, I could tell that the little girl was drawn to you Damon, not in the way that I am, but in the way that a daughter would be to her father, she look at you as though you were her hero. Like you walked on water. Damon, I don't care if our baby is a doppelgänger or supernatural in anyway shape or form, so long as she is healthy and doesn't end up like Katherine or lose her humanity I'm happy. And you should be too. This baby will bring challenges ahead, however, this baby will have so much love she wont know what to do with it all. And if I for a second, for even a second I think that something more could go wrong here, I might just lose my mind and I refuse to think that way, because stress isn't good for anyone right now." Elena said with determination in her voice. "Well alrighty then, I suppose I really am gonna have to learn how to spell it." Damon joked. "But really though Lena, I'm just worried that Klaus or someone will come after her. Or come after you." But before he could finish his argument Bonnie cut him off. "Damon don't worry, I've been looking into things, I'm going to do everything I can to protect these kids from any harm." Bonnie told told him sincerely hoping that he would believe her and trust her.
