*****Flashback chapter 2*****
As Damon stood at the entrance thinking about what he should do with this action. Elena at this moment she crawled to Damon and tried to stop crying but she couldn't and was trying to apologize to Damon
"M-Me sowwy Me want to look here." She sobbed as she looked at her little wound
She was looking pathetic Damon couldn't stand it anymore he picked her up and said
"Its okay but don't do that ever again, you are scaring me to death."
"b-but me not mean to scare y-you." She sobbed
"Its okay Elena but we have to go home okay?"
"kay" she said soft she laid her head on his shoulder and relaxed and within no minutes she closed her eyes it was a rough day.
"Welcome back." Stefan said Katherine was gone already.
"I probably should go.." as he pointed with his eyes to Elena
"You should Thanks for everything.." Stefan said
"Yeah see you soon" as he threw the blanket to Stefan
Damon ran of with Elena to his car with vampire speed. He opened the car door of Elena's side and buckled her in and closed her door soft as possible and opened his own and close it going back Home..
*****End flashback*****
*****at Home (Salvatore house)*****
Damon look at the back at his car and saw Elena sleeping he looked for a minute and then he got out of his car and helped Elena out of the car seat. He picked her up and brought her inside of the house. He looked for the room for Elena that Bonnie made with her magic. It was a room not far away from his room but a bit closer to Stefan's room.
"Let's get you to bed little monkey." As he walked in to the room it was an explosion of color if you looked at the other dark rooms
The walls were baby pink and light gray, there was a crib, closet, carpet to play on, toy chest and a changing table… and there was a couch
He placed Elena on the changing table and changed her to her PJ and a diaper, luckily he was used to babysit some kids in the time he was Human still for money.
When she was changed Damon picked her up and putted her in the crib and tucked her in
"Sweet dreams.." Damon whisper as he closed the door and walked to the living room not far away
Later that night Elena woke up in a dark room one thing she didn't like darkness..
*****Elena's POV*****
It was very dark when I woke up, and than! A huge bang came it was raining very hard with than a thunder flash.I was so scared at that moment. I didn't like the thunder and then at that point I heard something it scared me so much my heart was going as fast as a cheetah I think.
I sat in my bed hoping that magically the light will go on but I didn't so I was thinking to get out of bed and try to turn the lights on, but I knew that I was to scared but still I wanted to do it… So I grabbed with both my hands the crib, and tried to get my leg over it. Okay Elena just one more leg, and then the door opened I got my leg back in my crib and got in the corner of my bed with my sheet over me. With my legs close to my chest and my head between them.
***General***
"Elena." she heard someone saying she peeked to see who it was and It was Damon and he looked like he was angry and not at the same time
"Elena what were you doing?" Damon asked with a bit of disappointment in his voice.
She shook "no.." she said quiet.
"Elena" Damon said disappointed
"I-I was scared of thunder me wanted night light so I trying to turn light on" she said scared
"You don't need to be scared of the thunder your in a house save I wont let you get hurt understood?"
She nodded and she was rubbing her eyes while she asked "Can me pwease sleep you?"
"Yes you can." As he picked her up and walked to his room and putted her under his covers
As soon Damon was under his covers Elena crawled to his side and got her self on his chest and closed her eyes
"Goodnight Elena" Damon said as he putted his hands on her tiny back
"Night night Daymen" as she fell asleep
***Morning***
To Damon's surprise, he awoke relatively early the next morning. Normally he was a Sleep until Noon Unless You Have a Good Reason kind of guy, but today was different.
Extremely different, given the fact that there was a tiny little girl curled up against his chest, sleeping with an adorable smile plastered on her face. Damon grinned; Elena. Dear sweet Elena… what was he going to do with her today? He was thinking about a plan
First they would eat something
Then she gets changed into normal cloths I think
And while I shower she can watch tv
And maybe we can go to the park
And at the end we have to see Stefan again to bring him food
But first he needed to get of his bed but he had Elena on him so this wasn't very handy. First he wanted to wake her up but luckily she woke up. She was still half-asleep but Damon decided to wake her up so that she could take nap during midday if she wanted to
"Goodmorning sunshine" Damon said to Elena "Hi.." she said with her eyes closed
"Its time to wake-up Sleepy" He shook her what got her giggling as he began to tickle her that made her laugh more "Stop!" she screamed while laughing "P-lease stop! Hahaha!"
"Okay okay I will stop" Damon grinned
"Come on how about some breakfast?" Damon asked Elena
"Yes!" she said cheerful
Damon picked her up at went downstairs and putted her on the couch "You can take a look around here okay? But don't go in to other rooms I will be at that room okay" as he pointed to the kitchen
Elena looked around and grabbed with her hands the table and walked as soon she had nothing to grab on it was crawling again the one thing that she couldn't do is walking by herself she was crawling towards the all of the books and thought "I have nothing to do here…" and then she made her way to the kitchen were Damon was.
"Right on time little monkey breakfast is done." Damon said
"Im not a monkey!" Elena said silly "I am Ewayna not monkey you silly daymin"
He picked Elena up and placed her in a high chair and placed a plate with food and said
"Bon appetit" "What does mean?" Elena asked
"it means Enjoy your meal." As Elena took a bite of pancake
"Elena?" Elena looked up while she was eating her pancake.
"Do you want to go to the park today?" Damon asked
"Yes!" Elena said excited "Can we please go?" Elena asked
"Yes but first you need to change to your normal clothes you cant go in your PJ right?" Damon said Silly
"Why not?" Elena asked curious
"Because they will get dirty then." Damon said kind of disgusting voice
"Okay" As she finished her pancake
Damon got her out of the high chair and brought her to her own room and said
"I'm going to take an shower while you can play in your room okay?"
She nodded
As soon Damon was gone, she went to the couch and looked out of window after 2 minutes that was getting bored so she opened her toy chest. She threw some out but didn't feel like sitting and playing with dolly's so she thought about an adventure. He didn't say you can't go to other rooms
She crawled out of her room and got something to hold so that she could walk
She walked towards a room but this wasn't the room where she slept this one was more closer, she didn't want to go in the room so the walked to the other way back to her own room.
As she walked to the other way Damon walked to her room but he saw Elena standing nearby her room as Elena saw him, she slowly went sitting and looked him up with her innocent eyes.
"You don't say to me to stway put." She said with a huge smile on her face
"mhh let me think…" as he picked her up and brought her to her room and laid her down at the changing table and began to tickle her "No no not again." she began to laugh
He changed her to a outfit just a simple yellow dress so that he wont have to make a whole outfit
"So all done huh."
And then the doorbell rang Damon picked Elena up and went to the door and saw it was Caroline
"Hey!" she said excited
"Hey Caroline Elena do your remember her from yesterday? Oh wait nevermind you were asleep.'' he laughed.
Elena waved shyly and buried her head in Damon.
"So what were you guys planning to do?" Caroline asked
"Well we were going to the park right Elena?" Damon said, Elena said nothing
"Would you mind if I join?" Caroline asked nicely "No not at all." Damon said relieved
They went to the car to go to the park. Damon buckled Elena in her car seat who had said nothings since Caroline was there. In the car Elena looked at Caroline curiously and every time she would look back Elena would smile and hide herself. Elena looked again and then Caroline looked and said "Peek-a-boo!" That got Elena laughing. Well "As you see you don't need to do much to entertain her." Damon said to Caroline "Hate to admit it but it is true."
"Look to your right girls we're here at park." Damon said energetic at this moment Elena was full of excitement.
Damon parked his car and Caroline helped Elena out of her carseat and hold her and walked with her to the park. While the girls were going to the playing ground Damon got his self a bench
"We're do you want to Elena?" Caroline said excited
"Slide!" Elena said happy Caroline carried her to the slide and slid off it with Elena "Weeee" Elena screamed and this went over and over again "Weeee!" Elena screamed again for the fifth time "How about we take a little break?" Caroline asked Elena nodded
Caroline walked to the bench where Damon was "Did you like the slide Elena?" She nodded in excitement
"Day-min?" she asked
"Yeah?" he asked, and she giggled, "Will you… push me on da swings?"
Caroline she looked up at him expectantly. Damon frowned, "Wouldn't you rather have Carey push you?"
Elena bit her lip and shook her head, "I wants you."
Damon grinned, "Really?"
She nodded, smiling brilliantly at him, "Pwease?"
He smiled and offered her his hand, "If you really want me to…"
She giggled excitedly and latched on to his finger, and he led her over to the swing set, lifting her off of her feet and setting her on the swing. "Hold on tight, sweetie," he said and she grabbed the chains on the swing with her small hands, giggling when he pushed her gently. She laughed, "Higher, higher!"
Damon smiled and pushed her a bit harder; she squealed when she went higher, demanding her push her higher still.
Sitting on a park bench over by the car, Caroline smiled at the pair; so, the menacing Damon Salvatore was good with kids. Who would have guessed? She grinned when she heard what they were saying with her vampire hearing; Elena was giggling, "Push me as hiiiiigh as you can!" Damon was laughing as he pushed her on the swing. Caroline bit her lip; maybe he was pushing her a bit too high…
Elena had never swung this high before; she could feel the wind whooshing past her as she flew back and forth, Damon's hands gently urging her forward. "Higher, Day-min, higher… oh!" Elena squeaked in fright when she lost her grip on the swing and flew off, heading straight for the hard rocks beneath. Damon gasped in a sharp breath and flew forward with vampire speed, not caring who saw him. He was on his knees in less than a second, and Elena fell straight into his waiting arms. Her eyes were wide with fear, "I-I f-fell…" she whimpered, and buried her face in his shirt, trembling. Damon felt horrible, and he held her tightly, shushing her softly, "It's okay, it's okay…" he assured her, stroking her hair. Caroline was there now, too, looking horrified, "Is she okay? God, you shouldn't have pushed her so high!"
Damon glared at her, and Caroline shut up. Elena looked up at Damon, her eyes wide, "You catched me… y-you saveded me…"
Damon gave her a weak smile, "I'm sorry, princess; I shouldn't have pushed you so high…"
"No," Elena shook her head, "I asked you to… it no your fault." She hugged him and Damon buried his face in her soft hair; if she had gotten hurt because of him, he wouldn't have known what to do with himself. Caroline huffed, "Maybe I should take her on the jungle gym," she said, accusingly as she glared at him. As much as he hated it, he agreed with her; obviously Caroline knew more about this stuff than he did. "Elena, do you want to go play with Carey?"
She looked confused, "Why? You no want to pway wit me?"
Damon's eyes widened, "No! No, that isn't what I meant. I love playing with you, you know that I do."
Elena nodded, tears in her eyes; clearly she still didn't understand. Damon sighed and leaned over, kissing her forehead, "Why don't go get you some ice cream while you play?"
Elena gave him a tiny smile, "Otay…"
"What kind do you want, princess?" he asked, brushing her wispy brown hair out of her eyes. She smiled, "I wike vanilwa."
He laughed, "Okay. I'll be back in a few minutes."
She still looked like he was abandoning her, and he kissed her forehead again before he stood up and started for the ice cream stand across the park.
"Come on, Elena; let's go play!"
Elena weakly nodded and accepted Caroline's hand, watching Damon walk away. Caroline frowned as she watched her; she wasn't sure if it was possible to break a three year old's heart, but Elena certainly looked like it was.
Damon reached the ice cream stand and stood in line behind a tall woman with long blonde hair. She was standing with a boy who looked to be eight or nine. The woman was probably in her early twenties, and she smiled when she noticed him behind her. "Hi," she smiled, "I'm Tasha."
Damon nodded and politely smiled back; he knew that look all too well. This "Tasha" girl would proceed to ask his name, giggle, twirl her hair, bat her lashes and ask if he was seeing anyone. Then, no matter what he said, she would giggle again and say something stupid like, "Well, maybe I can change that." Normally Damon enjoyed the attention. Today it was just annoying. "Hi, Tasha," he said.
The boy frowned, "Tasha, I want rocky road."
"Not now, Billy!" she snapped, and the boy rolled his eyes and walked away. Damon tried his best not to laugh at the display. Tasha grinned at him once the little boy was gone, "So; what's your name?"
"Damon Salvatore." Damon said, glancing over his shoulder and smiling as he watched Elena go down a yellow slide and land in Caroline's waiting arms. Tasha frowned when she noticed what he was staring at, "Is she yours?"
"What?" Damon asked, turning back to her.
"The little girl; is she your daughter?"
"Um… something like that." He glanced at the boy who sat on a bench, pouting. "Is he your son?"
"Oh, God no." Tasha sneered, "He's some stupid kid I'm babysitting." Tasha turned back on her smile and glanced at Elena and Caroline, "She's adorable. She must get it from her daddy."
Damon bit his lip; well, that was awkward… "She isn't my daughter; I'm just babysitting."
Tasha's smile widened, "Oh. Cool. So," she batted her lashes and twirled her blonde curls, "Are you seeing anyone?"
Are you my boyfwiend, Day-min?
A grin slowly came to Damon's lips, "Actually, yes."
The girl pouted, "Well, she can't be as pretty as I am."
"Oh, much prettier. Are you planning on ordering, because if not, I'd like to."
The girl looked like he had just slapped her in the face. She glared and stalked away. Damon walked up to the counter, asked for a cup of vanilla with a spoon (there was no way he was getting a cone; he didn't want another pudding incident) and compelled the ice cream girl to give it to him for free. He then walked back over to Caroline, who was talking with another girl around her age. "Where's Elena?" he asked her.
"Oh, she's right up… there," Caroline frowned and looked around, "She was right there."
Damon's eyes widened in horror, "Where is she?"
Caroline scanned the jungle gym, "I don't see her up there."
"Elena?" Damon called, running around the playground, "Elena!"
He tossed the ice cream away and franticly pulled at his hair, his blue eyes wild, "Elena!"
Caroline met up with him ten minutes later, "It's no use; she isn't here."
"I left her with you for ten minutes," Damon snapped, "Ten minutes, and you lost her!"
Caroline had never seen Damon this scared; yes, he looked terrified. With good reason, too; Elena was an adorable, loving little toddler who would likely walk away with anyone who was nice to her. He had no idea where she was, or who she was with.
If Elena having an accident on his rug was a nightmare, then this had to mean he had died and gone straight to hell.
"ELENA!"
