Hello !
I am so happy for the reviews I got from you. This story was just a spur of the moment but since I got positive comments I will start working on it harder. I hope you will continue supporting me.
Here is a new chapter! Enjoy!
Aiden scrunched up his face and tried to pull away from the preying fingers that were tickling him. He was aware that Sam his little brother was the one responsible for annoying him. He huffed and opened his blue eyes. He glared at Sam and asked in a huff.
-"why are you annoying me Sam? I am trying to sleep here."
-"it is dinner time and mom send me to get you."
-"and couldn't you do it without putting your fingers on my face?" Aiden complained.
-"then it wouldn't be fun." Sam pouted.
Aiden shook his head at his brother's response and reached over to ruffle the little boy's hair.
-"hey lay off. You ruined my hair." Sam protested while fixing his messy black hair.
Aiden smiled and made a move to sit up on his bed only to wince when his still tender behind brushed against the rough fabric of the covers.
-"are you okay?" Sam asked in concern.
-"yes I am fine, let's just go."
The two boys made their way downstairs and sat on their designed seats at the dinner table. Elena looked towards Aiden and gave him a kind smile.
-"I hope you are hungry sweetie because I am your favourite dishes tonight."
-"of course mommy, I am famished. Thank you so much." Aiden thanked her and started eating.
During dinner time Damon noticed that Aiden wasn't his bubbly self. He didn't even respond to his little brother teasing which was abnormal. Usually the two would get on the nerves of each other until one of their parents threatens them with some form of punishment.
After dinner was over and the boys helped Elena in clearing the table, Damon nodded towards his eldest and motioned for Aiden to follow him. Once both sat on the couch in Damon's office, the latter pulled his son into his lap and looked the boy in the eyes.
-"what's wrong champ?"
-"nothing Daddy." Aiden said with a smile on his face.
-"don't lie to me Aiden." Damon said sternly, apparently his son developed a new habit in lying to him and that needed to end soon. "now, tell me my boy, what's on your mind?" Damon asked gently.
-"you are still angry at me Dad." Aiden stated.
-"what did bring you to that stupid conclusion?" Damon frowned.
-"I don't know, I just feel it." Aiden said sadly with tears gathering already in his deep blue eyes.
-"is it because I gave you a spanking?"
-"no, it is not like that. The spanking hurt me. But I didn't like you disappointed in me." Aiden said innocently.
Damon shook his head and smiled. He hugged his son closer to his chest.
-"look Aiden, I want you to answer a question for me. Can you do it?"
-"yes Daddy."
-"why do you think I spanked you?"
-"because I acted wrong and was so bad that you have to hit me."
Damon grunted in displeasure and moved his son to sit in front of him so they would talk face to face.
-"first of all I didn't hit you Aiden. I spanked you and there is a difference between the two acts. I just disciplined you baby and it was because you deserved it. You know what the best thing is about getting a spanking? The slate would be clean. All your misbehaviour would be forgiven and we start a new page. I was disappointed in your actions but now it's over. I love you so much to be mad at you."
Aiden throw his arms around his father's neck and hugged him as tightly as he could with his little arms. The two stay like that for few moments until Damon pushed his son from his chest gently.
-"okay little boy, it is bedtime."
-"oh no Daddy, it is just eight. I go to bed at nine, remember?" Aiden protested.
-"you are grounded which means you go to bed early, remember?" Damon laughed at the pout on his son's face "also you are going with me to the office tomorrow. You will need all your energy my little assistant." Damon said with an evil gleam in his eyes.
-"I will be you assistant!" Aiden exclaimed in horror because he knew that being his father's assistant will leave him with a sore body for days. Well maybe he was a little bit exaggerating but the man was really demanding.
-"yes, I gave Natalie a vacation for the next three days and you will work instead of her." Damon tried to keep his face straight when his son's eyes got bigger than saucers. He knew Aiden was dreading the work he was going to do. But Damon wasn't that evil and he won't push his ten years old boy past his capacities.
-"will you pay me at least?" Aiden asked as he got up from his seat on the couch.
-"you are pushing it my boy." Damon said as he ushered his son out of the room "go to your room and change into your pyjamas your mom and I will be there in ten minutes to say goodnight."
Aiden nodded his head and followed his father's instruction. The talk with his Dad made him feel lighter. At least he knew his father still loves him and would always forgive him even when he is being naughty.
The next morning in the Salvatore's household was a hectic one with two boys running around the house trying to put on clothes. Elena was in the kitchen preparing family for her family and smiling at her husband who was chasing Sam who had his pants on his head. As the two entered the kitchen Elena reached over and grabbed her son's little arm. Sam came to a halt and looked with his hazel eyes at his mom.
-"good morning mommy."
-"good morning sweetie, can I know why are you giving your father hard time this early in the morning?" Elena asked from her kneeling position in front of her son.
-"I don't want to go to day-care and Dad wouldn't listen to me." Sam explained seriously.
-"and why would you take such a decision?" Elena asked in a serious voice. She respected her son's words and would always talk to him like a little man.
-"I have some issues at school and I am too tired to solve them today." Sam said dramatically.
-"okay I am out of here. I don't know from where my five years old learned those words and honestly it's quite disturbing to know that your son has issues." Damon rolled his eyes and made his way upstairs to Aiden's room. He was sure that Sam was being over dramatic and tried to find some excuse to stay home.
-"May I ask why you are wearing your suit Aiden?" Damon asked as he entered the boy's room.
-"The assistant's boss needs to look handsome Daddy." Aiden said nonchalantly and continued to brush his hair.
Damon sighed and reached for the brush to help his son so they can leave for work. His two sons were acting weirdly this morning and he needed to get out from here as soon as possible.
After breakfast Damon sent Aiden to wait for his in the car and he went to his office to gather his papers. He came downstairs and found Elena struggling to put a jacket on a fussing Sam.
-"hey Sam, do you want to sit on the naughty chair before going to your school?" Damon said sternly.
-"no Daddy, I am sorry." Sam said and let his mother adjust his clothes.
-"good boy." Damon said with a smile.
-"how come Aiden can go with you to the office and I can't." The little boy finally burst and asked the question that was in his mind since morning.
Both parents looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Now they can understand the issues their youngest was having.
-"Aiden isn't going to have fun baby. He is there to help me and helping me while I am in boss mode is torture." Damon explained to his son.
-"when will I visit you?" Sam asked.
-"next week after day-care we will go to visit Daddy together and then we will come home." Elena answered this time.
Damon laughed at his son as he jumped in happiness and ran out of the house and climbed in Elena's car.
-"so, are you really going to torture my little sweet boy?" Elena eyed her husband wryly.
-"maybe I will." Damon teased her.
-"no you won't." Elena countered.
-"give me a reason to change my mind."
Elena hugged him and kissed him on the lips "and now did you change your mind?"
-"yes I change it, a little." Damon laughed when his wife smacked his arm and walked to her car. Teasing her was always hilarious.
Aiden was following his father to his office but he stopped as he saw his uncle.
-"Uncle Stefan!" The little boy exclaimed and ran into the man's waiting arms.
-"hello little man, what are you doing here?" Stefan asked as he carried his nephew to Damon's office.
-"I volunteered today to be my father's assistant."
Damon snorted at his son's responses and gave him the "really! Are you kidding me?" look.
-"okay okay, I am here because Daddy is being mean and punished me." Aiden said with a pitiful pout on his face.
-"and what did you do to unleash your father's anger?" Stephan asked.
-"I punched a little boy." Damon cleared his tone "well, you can say I beat him a little." Damon cleared his throat once again "okay Daddy I will tell him the whole story." Aiden sighed and proceeded in telling his Uncle what happened yesterday.
-"he is so your son." Stephan shook his head and putted the little boy on the floor.
-"are you leaving me here Uncle?" Aiden said to Stephan sadly.
-"I am out of here. Good luck champ." Stephan kissed the boy's cheek and moved to the door but before he exited he eyed his brother sternly "don't be hard on the boy. He is just ten."
-"No promises." Damon answered then looked to his son after the office's door was closed. "Go to the cafeteria and bring me one cup of black coffee." Damon ordered and turned on his computer.
Aiden smirked and exited the office. He went to the Cafeteria and found the workers mingling with each other. He went to his father's general director and hugged him.
-"hello Uncle Alaric how are you?" Aiden said sweetly.
-"Hello little man, what are you doing here?"
-"I am here to help Daddy." Aiden said proudly.
-"good, so go and fetch him a coffee before he comes looking for you and you won't like it if he comes for you believe me." Alaric stifled a laugh as the little boy nodded and hurried to the coffee machine.
-"you are late" was the words that Damon said when his son entered.
-"I met Uncle Alaric and we talked a little. He said hello."
Damon shook his head as he knew the intentions of Aiden. The boy was trying to waste time in talking to workers.
-"see those files on the table?" Damon nodded towards the coffee table "I want you to order them alphabetically for me."
Aiden sighed and went to seat on the couch. He was sure that these stacks of files would keep him busy for the whole day.
-"hey, don't look so sad. We will have lunch with your Uncles Stephan and Alaric at MacDonald's." Damon said trying to cheer his son. He doesn't like to see his boy sad. He smiled when Aiden's eyes lit up in excitement.
By five O'clock that day Damon was carrying a very exhausted Aiden. The boy spent all day between ordering the files and putting them in separate stacks and bringing his father coffee. After lunch and a little play with his Uncle the boy took a nap. When he woke up he continued his work.
-"did you have fun today?" Damon asked as he started driving.
-"yes Daddy, it was a fun day. Apart from working which was tiring."
-"well it's the point of your punishment, isn't it?"
-"can you stop reminding me of that Dad?" Aiden groaned in annoyance.
-"and then I wouldn't have any fun." Damon laughed at the sour look that crossed his son's face.
-"we are home." Damon announced and went to the kitchen where he found Elena preparing dinner. He sneaked up behind her and hugged her from behind.
-"hello darling!" Elena said smiling and kissed her husband.
-"gross!" Aiden said in disgust and opened the fridge to get orange juice.
Elena laughed and kissed her son's cheeks then squeezed him tightly to her chest "I love you so much my dear."
-"where is my other champ?" Damon asked his wife.
-"he is in the corner."
-"and why is that?" Damon frowned. Usually they don't send their children to the corner unless they do something really bad.
-"we need to speak with him because he got in a fight today." Elena said and led the way to the living room.
-"someone is so getting spanked today." Aiden sang song as he followed his parents.
Damon glared at his son and gave him a warning look "and maybe you will join him."
Aiden shook his head and grabbed his bottom protectively "I am going to my room. Have fun and when dinner is ready call me." The boy ran upstairs fearing for his vulnerable behind.
Damon shook his head and entered the living room to find his youngest facing the wall.
-"come here little boy." Damon said sternly. He expected to see tears streaming down his son's face with a regretful look but what he saw made him groan as it would be a long day. His son was wearing a stubborn look which means trouble.
-"what?" Sam said with his hands resting on his hips.
-"drop the attitude little boy. Explain what happened and I expect the truth." Damon said sternly.
-"I told you this morning I have issues at school but noooo you didn't believe me and send me anyway."
-"I am tired of that Sam, what issues my little boy has at school?" Elena coaxed her son gently.
-"okay that bully boy Nate stool my girlfriend."
Elena and Damon felt their jaw hitting the floor.
-"girlfriend?" Elena said puzzled.
-"well, my ex-girlfriend actually." Sam corrected his mother.
Damon rubbed his face in frustration. He was getting tired from this shit. He beckoned his son and sat his son on his lap.
-"tell me the story from the beginning." Damon ordered his son.
-"there is a girl in my class, her name is Amelia. She always wore cute dresses and put her hair in pigtails. I liked her and asked her to be my girlfriend. We gave each other bracelets we made in class so everyone knew we are together. We were really happy until she told me we need to get married."
Elena choked on her own breath and Damon laughed out loud. It was impossible to hold his stern demeanour when his son was talking like a little man.
-"oh my god! What happened after she asked you to marry her?"
-"I refused of course Mommy. To get married I need to work and buy her a diamond ring and also find an avenue for the weeding. All of that is a lot of responsibility for a little guy like me. She said it was okay and we can still together until I grow up and find a good job." Sam said with stress in his voice which made Damon laugh harder.
-"today in recess I saw her with Nate holding his hand and laughing with him. My heart was broken and I punched him in anger. Also I broke up with her because I can't be a cheater." Sam said sadly.
-"oh my baby, they broke your heart." Elena took Sam from his father and hugged him to her chest while Damon was wiping his tears from laughing so much.
After the emotional encounter had ended, Damon wore his stern expression once again.
-"what did your teacher give you as punishment?"
-"I am grounded from recess for a week." Sam pouted.
-"good and you are also going to be grounded for week which means no playing video games or going out with friends. Am I clear?"
-"yes Daddy." Sam said obediently.
-"you know why I did punish you?" Damon asked. He always made sure that his sons know exactly why they are being disciplined.
-"yes because I punched a boy and violence is a big no in our house." Sam answered.
-"I am happy to know you still remember the rules and I hope you won't break them again." Damon warned his son. He knew that he should have spanked his son but it was unfair to the little boy as he didn't warn him beforehand like he did his brother.
Damon looked at his wife and shook his head. His sons were growing up and he needed to enforce the rules.
-"I think we need to have a family meeting. I can't have my sons fighting every day. It is really energy draining."
Elena nodded her head in agreement and went to fetch her eldest son so they can have a family meeting. they needed to discuss the new rules with their children.
This is chapter two!
