Dr Stephen and Caroline Salvatore's Home

After Bonnie left Damon's study she decided to take the twins and go visit Caroline. She needed to get away from the house to clear her head.

The two friends were sitting outside in Caroline's beautiful garden enjoying fresh herbal tea while the twins and baby Anna were playing in Anna's big play pot in front of them.

"Its so nice and relaxed out here. I really feel in touch with nature Care." Bonnie said when Caroline came back with cookies for them.

"This is my haven. The different aromas does wonders for me whenever I'm stressed out or when I just need some me time." Caroline said softly.

"Lord knows we need our me time."

"So, any news from Gabriel about the cameras?" Caroline asked and handed Bonnie the platter cookies.

"Nothing so far but I think he will come up with something soon."

Caroline suddenly laughed out loud and covered her mouth.

"Why are you laughing Care?" Bonnie asked and smiled.

"I know this whole camera thing is serious so serious that Stephen and I are now making love under the sheets covered from head to toe and oh so silently. Its hilarious now that I think about it." Caroline said and shook her head. Bonnie threw her head back and laughed out loud.

"How can you guys breathe under there and to do it in silence Care!"

"Its hard but hey its too good to quit." Caroline said and the two burst out laughing.

"Mommy look!" Aiden called out when he saw a butterfly.

"Mommy see it sweetie." Bonnie said.

"Aslan eat mommy." Caden said and point his little finger at the butterfly.

Bonnie and Caroline laughed softly. "No sweetie Aslan can't eat it. Its not meat." Bonnie said to the adorable little cutie.

"Its candy!" The twins squeal in delight.

Caroline threw her head back and laughed out loud.

"Oh laugh now your getting there." Bonnie said and laughed softly.

"Anna should stay small and cute my little munchkin pixie." Caroline said with a sweet smile.

"Its not candy my sweeties so we can't eat it or hurt it. Its a butterfly and it helps your aunt Caroline's garden grow." Bonnie said but the two cuties looked at their mom like she just spoke another language.

"I don't think they get it Bon." Caroline whispered.

"I will try again in a few months." Bonnie whispered back and smiled.

The two friends watch the kids in silence. "Damon wants to talk tonight." Bonnie said after a while.

"Are you going to tell him what Scott did?"

"I don't know Care. I feel sorry for Scott and at the same time angry. I'm not doing it to protect Scott. I'm doing it to protect Damon from doing something he might regret." Bonnie said softly.

"Hey, you don't have to explain anything to me Bon. I get it and I understand you completely."

"Thank you Care." Bonnie said and squeezed her friends hand softly.

"I still think Kenzie should have told you first." Caroline said.

"I was so mad I felt like taking Kenzie and shaking her for doing something like that. Did you ever get that mad at one of your kids Care?" Bonnie asked with tears in her eyes. "Do you think I'm a bad mother for thinking something like that?"

"No, not at all Bon and don't you ever discredit or think bad of yourself as a mother. Our daughters are teenagers on the brink of stepping into the big world and with that comes the drama and tantrums. I too have my bad days with Amber where Stephen have to step in keep the peace but we will always love them and be there for them. I know they will come around." Caroline said.

The Salvatore Home

Cayllum knocked softly on Zoe's bedroom door. When she opened it she blew his mind away. She was dressed in a sea green floral dress her cheeky curls framed her face beautifully but it was her adorable smile that completely took his breath away. That smile was for him.

He spontaneously leaned closer to her and kissed her softly on her lips. "You look beautiful Zoe." He whispered to her.

"Thank you Cayllum." Zoe said with a shy smile.

"God I missed you so much." Cayllum said before he kissed her again. This time his lips lingered longer on hers.

Dylan cleared his throat hard behind them. Zoe almost tripped over feet when she stepped away from Cayllum.

"Need I remind the two of you that this is a church house and that we are God fearing people. No freaky business is going to happen in this house except for the main bedroom where mother and father is sleeping." Dylan said with a straight face but inside he was laughing at Zoe's shocked face.

"I can kiss my girlfriend whenever I want." Cayllum said with a smirk as he took Zoe's hand.

"Say that in front of my dad buddy and its your funeral and for you Zoe a chastity belt with double locks for the rest of your life." Dylan said and laughed out loud.

Cayllum chuckled but he quickly stopped when he saw how uncomfortable Zoe looked.

"Anyway, my girlfriend Liz, Sophi and Chad are waiting downstairs let's go people. We are all starving down there while the two of you are exchanging saliva up here." Dylan said.

"Stop it Dylan your not funny." Zoe said with heated cheeks.

"Oh I was not being funny Toffee. Starving is serious business and swapping saliva nowadays can get you killed."

"Just ignore him." Cayllum whispered in her ear.

"Oh and another thing my boy Walter, Zoe's ex boyfriend is also here so play nice Cayllum." Dylan said with a big grin.

Zoe felt like running back to her room and crawl under her bed."

The Henderson Residence

"Hey honey I'm home!" Dr Hendy called out from the living room.

"Hey we're in the kitchen." Kate replied.

"Smells absolutely divine in here. If you need a test subject to test the food look no further I'm here." Dr Henderson said and kissed his wife on the cheek.

"How was your day?" Kate asked as she's putting the turkey in the oven.

"Oh it was.."

"Sorry doc that have to wait." Stella interrupted as she's entering the kitchen with a glass of wine in the hand. "I have a list of things that you must get me before the shops closed. This year we are going to eat outside it is so much cooler and the view near your pool is stunning, oh and run by my house Estelle will give you my table linens and cloths and napkins I bought those beautiful babies last year in Spain!"

"I don't get it. My wife have all those things so I don't think we will need yours Stella." Dr Henderson said with a surprised smile on his face.

"Of course you won't get it you poor thing. You have absolutely no idea how ancient the ones you have look and smells. We can't entertain our guests on that now can we? I say out with the old and in with the new Hendy! Oh and refreshments and drinks will be served to the guests in the living room when they arrive and can I say how happy I felt when I threw that curtains that hanged in the living room in the trash. I'm amazed that curtains never gave any one of you nightmares or a headache." Stella said.

Dr Hendy's eyes widened in shock. "The curtains in our living room you threw it away?" He stuttered out.

"I believe that's what I've said." Stella said and gingerly took her sip wine from her glass.

"That curtains was a wedding gift from my mother Stella." Dr Hendy said wide eye.

"A wedding gift Hendy? Did your mother love you because I can't believe a mother will give her only son such a hideous horrend...

"Okay! Honey let me take you upstairs and get dressed take a nice cold shower and relax." Kate said quickly interrupting Stella. She took Hendy by the arm.

In a daze Dr Hendy allowed his wife to take him upstairs.

"Don't worry I will hold the fort. I still have to call Bailey and make sure she has our order for the flowers ready. The flowers will look absolutely stunning with the decor and new curtains!" Stella called out in a cheery voice.

"She's evil. What will we tell mother when she comes to visit us Kate? You have to go get the curtains out of the trash." Dr Hendy whispered as they're walking up the stairs.

"Honey I don't think that's possible." Kate said and bit her bottom lip nervously.

"And why is that?" Dr Hendy asked in a grave voice.

"Stella and I cut it into tiny little pieces. I'm sorry Honey." Kate said with an apologetic look.

"Please hurry to the room I feel like fainting." Dr Hendy said and swallowed hard.

Dr Stephen and Caroline Salvatore's Home

"Come on Damon just a few more steps we are almost there." Stephen said out of breath trying to get a drunk Damon to the pool house.

"Hey where you taking me?" Damon slurred in Stephen's ear.

"Definitely not home. The two of us are going to sleep in my pool house tonight."

"No, I want to go home. I want my wife. I want my bed. I have to talk with Bonnie!" Damon said hard. He pushed Stephen away from him but Stephen grabbed hard onto his arm and pushed him through the door.

"Not in this state your not, I called Bonnie she knows you're here." Stephen said. He walked Damon to the couch and dropped him down on it.

"Her ass must be very glad about that." Damon said and chuckled softly as he lay down.

"Its better this way." Stephen said in a calm voice. He took off Damon's shoes and put a pillow under his head.

"Stop it why do you have to twist and turn the pillow." Damon said annoyed when Stephen changed the pillow for the umpteenth time under his head.

"Do you want to choke in your sleep brother?"

"Maybe that's exactly what you and my wife are plotting."

"And let you off that easy? No way." Stephen said and plopped down with a sigh on the other couch.

"You don't have to sleep here. I don't need a baby sitter."

"Yeah I know." Stephen said and turned on his back.

"I was suppose to take my family out for dinner tonight celebrating my Princess win but look at me now, like I said I'm failing as a father and husband."

"And here we go with the self-pity party." Stephen mumbled to himself.

"I almost snapped her fucking neck, Stephen. Did I tell you this? Bonnie in Scott's room with what I can only call is a fuck me like I'm a slut night dress on. I almost lost it."

"And the self-pity party is turning murderous now." Stephen mumbled and sigh out loud.

"Fuck you Stephen why don't you leave me and my self-pity ass alone then? I heard you!"

"Damon You do know that there's more to this story. You said Bonnie asked you for time I suggest you give her that. Love her enough to respect her decision."

Damon ran his hand through his hair and sigh out loud. "There is more. I think Abigail is a witch."

Stephen suddenly laughed out loud.

"Why the fuck are you laughing?" Damon asked with a frown.

"I told you not to take that last drink but you just had to take it." Stephen said and chuckled softly.

"I'm serious Stephen. She took my hands right when I was about to go in and kill Bonnie's lover in front of her. Abigail spoke in a language that made absolutely no sense."

"What language was it? What did she say?" Stephen asked curiously.

"How the fuck should I know. I don't speak witch." Damon said annoyed.

"It can be Latin. I think she must have tried to connect with you spiritually to send her positive energy into you to keep you calm and to think rationally. Damon, did you know in the 1800's there came a group of settlers to Mystique Lake and with them was a young girl."

"What the fuck have I started now!" Damon said and sigh out loud. "The history crazy delusional party has just started." Damon mumbled to himself.

"The people of the town believed she was a witch. She had healing abilities and she could translate to people's thoughts."

"Really? Is this the shit I have to listen to? Take me home right now!"

"Anyway" Stephen continued on "some people of the town saw her as an angel send by God to cure and heal all the people of the town of their sicknesses and wickedness but others saw her as the devil in disguise, so one night as the town were sleeping..."

"And here we go, things are about to get dark and twisted. They kidnapped the girl and burned her alive end of story."

"That's not how it ends Damon. The girl managed to escape and fled deep into the woods never to be seen or heard from again." Stephen said.

"Same story different versions none of it is true. I suggest doctor Stephen that you stop believing in witches and old woman's tales or you will end up in a mental ward with Stella as your room mate." Damon said.

"As a doctor that is a very interesting subject Damon. I would like to look into it if I had the time. I wonder if Abigail will let me have talk with her about this." Stephen said deep in thought.

"And this is how we all lose our minds. Good night brother."

"Yeah, good night my love, sweet dreams." Stephen said with a big smirk.

"Well, fuck you." Damon said and laughed softly.
