Damon sat in the bar, lost in his own thoughts, thinking how things he once overlooks has changed his whole life.

He sat there trying to acknowledge exactly when and what went wrong in his happy, perfect life as he drowns himself into his drinks and memories.

(Six years ago.

They walked hand in hand towards his father's office only to step away once they reach his office. "Ah! Damon, Elena come inside." Giuseppe Salvatore beckoned them to take seats.

Once they settled, they both stared at him in anticipation.

" Damon my boy, I am so proud to inform you both that our firm gets twenty more clients because of how you both successfully managed quarterback Tyler Lockwood account."

Damon felt ecstatic as he stood up to fist bump with his dad before hugging his wife. "Congratulations sweetie, I always knew we would make a great team!"

Elena who has happy tears in her eyes stood up and walked towards her father in law. "Congratulations Dad." She hugged him tightly while beaming at her husband. "This is really great t news and I can't wait to tell mom and my parents."

"Well, it's not just only great news you are going to tell," Giuseppe told her before picking up file. "Congratulations Mrs Salvatore! You are now promoted as one of the firm directors."

Elena stood shell shock as he hands her promotion file. She can hear her husband whooping noise at the background and before she knew it she was wrapped in his warm embrace. "Double Congratulations baby! I am so proud of you."

Elena who was still feeling a hard time to believe her ears saw pride and happiness in both Salvatore's men eyes.

"I know its lot to process but trust me you earn this position because of your own hard work and dedication you have shown these last three years." Her father in law assured her.

" Dad is right! You deserve this promotion and now we will take this firm into new heights."

At these encouraging words, she finally smiles and before she knew it her happiness was bursting out of her in excitement. "Thank you so many guys, I promise I will rise to your expectations."

Hugging her husband closer she couldn't believe her luck. "I am so happy Damon, and nothing else can make me happier then I felt today."

End of Flashback)

A sad smile form on his face as he remembers these words. Sometimes we say things, accepting that this is what we really wanted all along but then soon life presents you with a new desire that surpassed all your dreams and desires and nothing matters more in your life than to fulfil those desires in your reality.

( Flashback five years ago.

It was Sunday and after many months, he finally got weekend to sleep late, relax and enjoy but apparently his wife has different plans who was currently shaking his arms. "Wake up Damon."

He groaned as he pulled her in his arms without opening his eyes. "Let me sleep women, I will later make love to you." He promised, ready to fall asleep again.

"Damon please wake up, it really important" His wife desperately urge him but he just put a cover over his head. "Nope! Nothing is important to make me awake."

And then he heard the very thing that instantly made his sleep disappear. "I think, I am pregnant."

Opening his eyes he sat up straight as he watched his wife. His wife who looked as if every emotion known to man is rushing through her veins.

"You are pregnant?" He finally asked after ( He had to appreciate the irony ) pregnant pause.

"Yes, No, I don't know!" She definitely looked nervous. " I am late Damon."

He stared at her with his mouth agape, not knowing what to felt or do as his wife watched him expectantly as if he has all answers for her."

Clearing his throat he tries to tone down his own nerves. "So? You are late?"

He felt so stupid but he tried to think hard and then its click. "Okay, here what we are going to do, we will go and get those pregnancy test."

He was sure he sounded uncertain but to his surprise, his wife beamed and hugged him tightly. "Thanks, Damon! I knew I can count on you for anything."

They quickly dressed up and he drives them to a nearby shop.

Once they reached there they both went straight towards the medical aisle only to feel lost again.

"So which one we should get?" He asks his wife who likes him watching all different type of test in confusion.

She looked perplexed as she checks out one box and then another. "This is 98 percent accurate and this one is 99 percent accurate."

Damon nods his head while checking out a few for himself. "Apparently they all are same without hundred percent accuracy."

He then saw his wife biting her lip in nervousness and he knew that he had to be the one to make this decision. "How about we get one of the best one each?"

His wife smile in relief and they buy three tests to take home.

Once they return home his wife grab water bottle and then they went straight to their bedroom.

As he read instructions aloud to his wife, she finished entire water in a few gulps and then gave him a small smile.

Her eyes show a little bit of nervousness and excitement, the same excitement he is feeling along with nervousness.

He then hands her all three test and kissed her forehead. "Call me when you are done, we will wait together to see the results."

He watched the bathroom door closed and after a few minutes, his wife called him inside.

She was leaning against the counter while tapping her foot as he joined her. They both watched timer on her phone and when it was the time they both seem to be frozen to their feet.

"You go and see it," Elena told him now looking every bit scared.

Damon didn't move one bit as his eyes filtered from his wife and then to those test. " How about we see it together?"

At his suggestion, his wife threads their hands together as they pick test from the edge of the bathtub.

Negative. Shows two test he was holding and a wave of disappointment hit him but he tried his best poker face when he gazes his wife.

Elena was watching test for more than one minute then him and then her shoulder sags whether in relief or in disappointment he couldn't say.

She finally looked up at him and he knew that his own feelings are secondary because right now he needs to make her feel good.

"Its negative Damon." Her eyes start getting wet as she whimpers. "I am so.."

The words never came out because he was hugging his wife as he assured her. "There is no need to apologize and besides we have our whole life."

She hugged him tightly as he strokes her head. "Think about it babe, its only been year since you become a director and with our busy schedule do you think we are ready to have a baby?"

That makes her move away as she asks him. "So, you are not disappointed?"

He was because part of him was eager at the idea of being a dad but he is not going to make her feel bad because of something that didn't exist. " Of course not, we both are still young and still in our honeymoon phase and yeah I want many kids with you and I promise we will plan together once we are ready."

He can see his assuring words working like a charm because in next second his wife's face lit up as she kisses him passionately. "Deal! Starting next year we both will try for a baby."

They shook their hands and then he playfully lift his wife on his shoulder as he carried her back into their room. "Let me show you how much we Salvatore love to procreate."

End of Flashback)

He now wished that he had told her the truth. He now wished that they had planned their baby right away after that negative results but most of all he now wished to not take for granted that moment because once that moment was gone it never came back in their life again.

(Flashback Four years ago.

He purchases a dozen roses for his wife and then hopped on to his car as he drives towards the restaurant.

"I have reservations under Salvatore, is my wife arrived yet?" He asked the manager who checked his list. "No sir, you are the first one to arrive."

Feeling relieved to be early than her, he decided to wait for her in the bar.

"One Bourbon please!" As he waited for drink call came and he picked it up without checking.

"Is this Damon Salvatore?" a voice asked him making him frown. "Yes."

"Mr Salvatore, I am nurse Carol, your wife just had a car accident, she is admitted to Starlight Hospital."

He couldn't believe his ears but then as if he was on autopilot as his feet move on their own.

By the time he reached hospital he saw his brother, perhaps someone has called him too.

"Stefan, Elena? Tell me how she is?" His brother who was in his doctor mode soon start explaining her condition and injuries.

"She will survive but Damon Elena was pregnant and because of this accident she lost her child."

"What? But she didn't tell me." Her brother put a comforting hand on his shoulder as his voice trembles in pain.

" She was only four weeks long, maybe she didn't know herself or maybe she does and was going to surprise you tonight."

Fresh tears replace the old one because earlier his wife promise him that her anniversary gift will be far better than his.

" Can I see her?"

His brother led him towards her room and there he saw his wife hooked up with wires and oxygen tube.

He sat there for hours and didn't move to wait for her to open her eyes and when she finally does open them they told him everything he needs to know and all they can do is cry for the child they lost together.

End of Flashback)

After that, he did everything for her to recover but there is only one thing she wants from him and that was their child.

Once doctors gave them green light they start planning but months turned into a year and then year turned into two years but not only they didn't get pregnant but the stress slowly become like a poisonous weed for their relationship.

At first, she starts blaming herself, then she starts blaming him for not wanting a child in the first place.

He was horrified at these accusations but tried his best to assure her. He found best doctors all over the world but everyone told them that there was nothing wrong with them and as long they don't take stress they will become parents.

He tried his best so they can stay in a stress-free environment but getting Elena pregnant became stressful for both of them.

Every time result came negative she starts lashing out, and things become so out of control that they start having mechanical sex for only procreation purposes.

Love or any kind of emotion were long disappeared and all that was left was pain and resentment until one day he finally snapped.

(Flashback Year ago.

"I can't do this anymore."

He told her one night when they haven't talked for two months but still, they were having sex for the sake of pregnancy.

"What do you mean! I am ovulating and this is the best time..." He cut her off as he grabbed her both hands. "Look at us!" He pleaded with her but her eyes stayed hard and emotionless.

"We lost something that we never had and because of it we are now losing everything."

She yanks her hands harshly from his grip. "I am sorry for letting you and our family down! For being such a huge failure as wife and women!"

He shakes his head and tried to touch her cheeks. " No baby, if anyone failed you it was me. I should have told you how much I wanted children that first time when we had a pregnancy, scare."

That brings some emotions out of his wife who looked shocked. "You wanted children then? But you sound so relieved and all that talk about us being young and our career?"

She trails off and then she realized. "You were trying to spare my feelings?"

When he nodded her eyes start getting wet and before he knew it she broke down in his arms. "Why?"

"I didn't want you to blame yourself or anything and at that time I genuinely thought that we have all the time in the world for children."

If only he could turn back time.

"Baby I am losing you because of this and I can't continue living like this anymore."

To his relief, she nods her head but then she pulled away. "I want children Damon but you are right we can continue living like this."

For a second he felt hopeful but then that hope vanished when she lifts her defeated face. "But Damon I can't bring that old Elena back anymore, I am sorry but I can't found that girl you once love."

She hid her face in her palms while weeping apologies to him and they both realize two truth that day, one they are giving up on their dreams of having their children and two in doing so they gave up on themselves.

End of Flashback)

For the past year she put her entire energy to focus on her job while he tried his best to give her space to heal but after last night when she blew her own birthday party for her job he finally realized that if he didn't do something now then he will surely lose her wife and even more importantly Elena will lose herself to her pain and that is something he will never allow.

He needs to find that love and passion they once had and bring it back into their lives, and he will found it by any cost.

With that determination, Damon stood up and left towards gates.

He was almost across the hall when he bumped into someone, a man. "I am sorry." The guy told him its okay and he walked away.

He was waiting for the valet to bring his car when he heard. "Excuse me, sir." He turned around and saw the same guy he earlier bumped, he was holding his wallet.

"You must have dropped it." He told him and for some reason, he seems familiar.

Damon thanked him as he took his wallet back. "Thanks, man."

"Sir please check it first, if you drop something we can check it out but I can assure you there was nothing else nearby."

Taken aback by this stranger concern and honesty in his eyes he checked his wallet and found everything there.

"Everything is here my friend, although I am impressed to meet an honest guy like you. Credit cards aside there was around five hundred dollars cash in here."

The guy gave him small smile and he still seems quite familiar but Damon can't remember where he saw him.

"Well, then it's your luck that honest guy like me was the one who found it."

Witty and yet honest, Damon like him so he held out his hand. "Nice to meet you Mr honest guy, I am Damon Salvatore."

Damon was used to seeing people flatter in his presence after they know his name but he only saw kindness in his grey eyes as he shakes his hand. "Nice to meet you too, I am Jon Snow."
