( Charity Event for children )
"Okay, everyone! I want your full attention! First, each one of you will make a different flavour of frosting and I will taste them all before you decorate it with your cupcakes."
Everyone in the kitchen snickers because it was not Elena Salvatore's voice giving them instructions but her young son Zander Salvatore who was giving commands.
At that moment entire Salvatore, Mikaelson, Gilbert and rest of their friends along with children and staff members are present in kitchen wearing an apron as they listen to the youngest Salvatore man bossing them around.
He looked like he meant business as he continues. "My Mom made me in charge and it's my job to make sure that each cupcake looked perfect for those children in uncle Stefan's hospital. We want them to make happy not sick so be careful with your job." He instructed them in a stern voice.
Meanwhile, his parents beamed proudly at their young son. "Now that's my son!" Damon whispers while whipping his cream.
Elena rolled her eyes and whispered back. "Oh, please you don't have a boss bone in you. Look how professional he looked while instructing us, now that he certainly got from me."
Before he could reply he watched his son disappointed look. "Chatting while working is not allowed and you split your cream dad! Start over!"
Damon pouted while others laughed as they watched him getting scolded by his son.
"Sorry boss." He mumbled while glaring at his wife as he takes back his words. "He is definitely your son!"
Zander looked like a drill Sargent as he paces in front of them while watching over their work.
He passed his Grandparents before stopping as he noticed how his grandfather Mikale cream turned dark greyish in colour.
"What did you put in this cream!"
"Black liquorice." He replied making Zander gasp. "Children don't like Black liquorice Grandpa and certainly not on cupcakes."
"Well, I love them." He replied stubbornly and before they could argue Esther intervened. "Don't you worry sweetheart, your grandfather has an odd taste and we won't let those children suffer for it. Now come and taste my frosting."
Zander tasted pink looking frosting from her bowl and moan in delight. "Raspberries, yum."
While others kept working he continued tasting them. He loves Elena's chocolate dough and Bonnie's hazelnuts frosting as well as Zenia's Lemon cream and Gabriel's Carmel crunch.
He even approved his twin sisters weird figs, beetroot and honey combo flavour frosting. "It's weird but surprisingly tasty."
"Yay, we are going to be just like Heston!" Both girls cheered out.
On the other hand, he rejects frosting made by his grandfather, his uncle Klaus, Stefan and to his disappointment his dad.
"Too much coconut." He told his uncle Klaus while spitting raw coconut from his mouth.
"Uncle Stefan we children like mint but only mixed with other flavours, your frosting has too much mint that it tastes like toothpaste."
Stefan stared at his nephew sheepishly as he admitted. "I guess I want them to eat something healthy and refreshing but I guess you are right."
"Your uncle means well Zan. After all, he is first and foremost a Doctor." Caroline takes her husband's side and behind her Lizzie discreetly put apples away which she was planning to add in her frosting.
Zander smiled at his aunt before turning away to face his father as he began criticising his frosting. "Dad you split your cream again and it's so strong because you filled it with so much cream cheese."
Damon's eyes filter from his son's disappointing face towards the gooey mess he made in his bowl. "I thought more cream cheese will make red velvet cupcake delicious.
And even though his son resembles him at that moment he looked just like his mother as he stood beside him on a stool. "Follow the recipe dad, here let me show you."
And everyone watched as he made new cream cheese frosting while following his mother's recipe.
"It's delicious Zan!" Elena hugged her little chef before embracing the rest of her children.
"You all made mommy so happy today."
And at that moment she knows that no matter what carrier path they choose all her children have little chefs inside them.

The charity event was planned brilliantly by Caroline and Davina who were supporting their husband's new project for adding separate sections for children in their hospital.
It was mainly Kol's idea who wanted a fun place in their hospitals for younger patients to cheer them up.
Jo and Camille who was now working there gave their own ideas and soon afterwards, it becomes combine family project.
Klaus design the entire new section for children wards and Jeremy especially stayed for months to help in designs.
Stefan on the other hand brought the latest equipment with help from Marcel and Elijah.
Esther once again came out from retirement to decorate these wards to make it more children friendly and to her delight, all her daughters and grandchildren want to help her out.
So it was easier to guess how proud they felt the day of inaugurations. The look at those children faces when they first saw their new wards were priceless.
"We did it, mom!" Zander yelled as he high-five his mom. "They loved everything and our cupcakes are disappearing from the table! Look."
She smiled at his enthusiasm and hugged her son close. "Yes, I can see that and you know what I think you did a wonderful job while managing all of us."
Her son's looks bursting with pride as he said. "You really think that?"
She nodded her head and her son's hugged her tightly and in the next second, he felt someone touching his hair. "You did a great job boss, thanks to you all of us are enjoying good quality cupcakes."
Even though he criticises his father he was happy to hear these words out of his mouth. "Thanks, dad."
He hugged his father who patted his back. "Now go and play with the rest of the children, you deserve some fun after doing such a great job."
Both parents watched their youngest son as he joined other children.
"He is such a sweet boy just like his dad."
Damon smirked at this compliment and kissed Elena's temple as he added. "And he is passionate for his job just like his mother, he is a perfect blend of both of us."
And it doesn't matter how much he resembles with him or how similar his personality traits matches with her because, in the end, they both knew in their hearts that he is part of them and he got best traits of both his parents.
