Chapter Seven

The family gathered in the medium sized kitchen to the surprise that a human meal was set. "Are the others here already?" Elisa asked.

"No. This is for the two of you. Sit down and start eating. Time to explain what you two are going through and how it is possible.

"Now, vampirism has run in our family on and off for nearly three centuries longer than either of you boys have been alive. My mother was the great-great-great granddaughter of the last Druid priestess who lived on Avalon. She herself had no powers, because it skipped her and was born into me – very much like you Bonnie. Her great-grandfather was a born vampire. As was his great-great grandmother.

"My husband, Jeffery, was a born vampire, but was destroyed by ignorant members of our family who were blaming him for the deaths we suffered because of the Black Plague. Just before that he and I exchanged blood as all four of you have. For vampires that exchange is as much a marriage as any ceremony humans have. Because I spoke against my husband's murder the boys' uncle Aleron accused me of being a sorceress, the equivalent of a witch then, and I was thrown off a cliff near our home to prove him right or wrong. I could not save myself, so all believed that I went to Heaven as one of the many innocents that the Devil wrongly marked as his own."

Bonnie gasped, "just like in Salem. And that was one of the lies being spread about me before we left, that I was marked as the Devil's mistress. They were supposedly going to save my soul by burning me to a stake. I guess we have more in common than I ever first thought, Nana."

"Yes, it would seem so. But Nana, Stefan and I were told that Papa Jeffery killed in the Plague and you were supposedly sleep walking when you fell from the cliff." Damon absentmindedly nibbled on a strawberry as he focused on the woman who he and his little brother had always adored.

Sabrina smiled on her family. "That is what they wanted the two of you to believe. I woke hours later on the beach below. A young woman was with me, and helped me to feed the way our kind always did before the lies. Vampires are a wise race; we knew that to kill our victims would mean either one more vampire or a dead human. Either way, it would mean less food to go around. We were always only to feed until the victim could spare no more, unless provoked otherwise."

Damon seemed uncomfortable at this, and Sabrina knew why. "Child you were not taught any other way, and the two of you turned after the war was in full force. Your Papa Jeffery was a very well respected and high member of vampire society. No one stopped you because our kind no longer cared about humans at that point. But, the anger has calmed down, excluding a rare few."

Bonnie smiled as she snuggled in her husband's arms and he fed her a strawberry that he had dipped in chocolate and almonds. Then everyone broke down into chuckles when their daughter made her voice heard loud and clear. ~Num num! I like momma! More pease!~

"I think a little girl finally knows what she wanted after daddy got done feeding her mommy. Here we go." Damon smiled a genuine smile as he fed another chocolate and almond covered strawberry to his wife.

~Love dada! Love momma! Love coco nut berry!~ The baby cried out happily, making the family chuckled harder than before.

"Have you given my great-great granddaughter a name yet?" Sabrina grinned at the loving couple. She knew what Damon had in mind, and it was time he got the chance to speak up.

"Bonnie, this time would you mind if I pick the baby's first name. Next time, I promise you can pick the baby's first name." Damon softly growled into his wife's ear before nibbling on her neck, causing her to giggle.

Once she got herself under control, Bonnie choked out, "only if I can pick her middle name."

"Deal. But, I choose the next baby's middle name. Well little girl," Damon grinned wickedly as he rubbed the soft bulge in Bonnie's belly, "your first name is Stephanie."

Stefan gawked in shock while Elena fought back her tears. Sabrina too was fighting to keep from crying. Bonnie knew in her heart that her husband was planning this since he found that their baby was a girl. "And her middle name is Elena."

That forced the tears from Elena's eyes as well as Sabrina's. Stefan finally found his voice. "I don't know what to say."

"I swore to Nana and Mother that I would take care of you. The whole time I threatened you was in the hope you would feed enough to beat the crap out of me. I charmed Katherine to see if she was worthy of my little brother, which we all know that she wasn't. Elena too was simply being tested, but she proved more than worthy. She brought us together and sacrificed more than any woman might have in all we faced. Even in death dear sister, you took care of my little brother and us all. That's why I left, because I accepted that my brother finally had a wife he deserved to be with. You gave me your trust Stefan, when the others believed it to be a folly. That is why I gave mine and Bonnie's daughter your name."

Bonnie smiled up at her husband, feeling that his opening up to their family shocked them all the more. Then they saw that their friends were there as well. "Ah how much did you guys hear?"

"All of it I guess. We came in when Mrs. Flowers told you two to eat." Lydia chuckled as Damon groaned in his discomfort.

Matt on the other hand was still visibly shocked, "Bonnie's pregnant? She's pregnant by Damon?"

"And I turned three days ago, and Elena's pregnant by Stefan as well – only I'm further along I think. Am I right Nana?"

Sabrina smiled. "Yes child. And I am tired of that false name, it is either Sabrina or Nana to all of you. Am I clearly understood?"

"Yes Nana." They all agreed in one voice, breaking down into laughter.

"So, Bonnie's is having a little girl. I missed her name, what was it?" Meredith winked. She heard it along with the others, but she wanted it said again.

Damon looked down on his beloved wife. "Her name is Stephanie Elena Salvatore."

~Is dada talking about me momma?~ The baby obviously spoke to where everyone could hear her again. Those who were unaware of the girl's ability were stunned silent with wide eyes of surprise, all looking at Bonnie.

Bonnie sighed with a smile on her face. "Yes baby, dada and I have picked that as your name. Do you like it?"

~Yes momma. Why that name though?~

Damon cooed to the baby, "Stephanie is for you stubborn uncle Stefan, and Elena is for your pain in the butt aunt with the same name."

"Stephanie, don't believe your dada on that. He is more of a stubborn pain in the butt than your uncle and I. If I remember Stefan is for the saint and means a crown or wreath, while my name means light."

The others shook off their shock, took places around the table, and began to join in the dinner. Then Sabrina continued her story.

"Now on with my story. I slowly gained Powers greater than that of Katherine by feeding lightly off of many humans a night. I learned to keep them hidden within me, which is why she never knew what I am. Neither did Klaus, as he saw me as a senile old woman. I didn't help you bring in Stefan that night you found him hurt because Katherine was suspicious of me, and if I went out I would have used my powers to help him. I couldn't get any sight on him, or else I would have helped him." For the first time, Sabrina's face gave away some of her private pain.

"I understand Nana. And besides, it drew Elena and I closer together." Stefan took a firm hold of her hand.

Sabrina took a few breaths before continuing. "I didn't know that the two of you were turned, or else I would have took care of you both. I came to America about ten years before the two of you. This town seemed so quiet and peaceful that I thought that I could go on alone. And then comes a young man from my past. Stefan, you have no idea how you breathed a new life into my then hurting heart. Soon after, my little Damon came back as well. Now my family has grown by nine. I am no longer alone."

"And you never will again, Nana. Hey, hopefully all of this will be over by Thanksgiving and we can have a big family dinner at our 'family home'." Lydia chuckled.

Bonnie sighed, "I hope so. I am tired of all of that. I just want to be free to be myself again."

"I'm sure that we will be able to make that wish come true – sooner or later. Now to finish my explanation. It is rare for people to find that other who completes them. We are born for one who is our equal and balance." Sabrina spoke serenely.

Elena leaned back into her husband's arms. "Are you talking about soul mates, Nana?"

"That is one way of thinking about it. Jeffery was mine, and one day I will find him again. Though it took so long, my boys finally found their 'soul mates'. My baby Meredith found her Alaric, my baby Matt found his Lydia, and someday we hope that my baby Margaret will find her's." Sabrina smiled.

Alaric questioned like the scientists he was, "what does soul mates have to do with Elena and Bonnie getting pregnant? It was believed that the undead were unable to reproduce."

That sent chuckles through the family, but little Margaret turn those into outright laughter. "Uncle Alaric, most people don't even believe in vampires in the first place."

"Soul mates gives their other a piece of reality by becoming the holder of their love's soul. In some cases, when the elements are right – a baby is created. The couple has to be meant for one another, they have to truly be in love, and the lady must be in a fertile time of her cycle."

At that both Elena and Bonnie blushed furiously, but no one said anything about it. Sabrina went on. "As I said before it is very rare to have any one of the element, but to have all of them at once is shall we say uncommon. Now as you both can tell a vampire pregnancy is very different from humans. In fact it will be more painful at times, but I know that both of you can handle it. The largest difference the two of you won't be expecting is that every day of it will equal one month in a human's."

Everyone gasped at this. Stefan rested a hand on his wife's stomach guardedly, "you mean that the old stories were true. I thought that they were only myths … at least in parts."

"No my boy, they are all the truth. That is why the girls must eat human food as well, because the children are still mortal yet have vampirism in their genes. They will need to feed from both sides for now, but once they are born and weaned form their mothers they will be completely on human food. Elena is one month pregnant, while Bonnie is three months along – that is why we hear little Stephanie so clearly. She has Powers equal to both of her parents combined."

"But, my birth Powers always skips a generation. How could she have mine?" Bonnie stuttered as she rubbed her stomach nervously.

Sabrina shook her head softly. "I said that she has Powers equal to her parents. Remember I told you that Damon and Stefan too through me are descended from Druids. The Powers skip him and go on …" Damon finished for her, "to our daughter."

~Momma? Why you scared?~ Stephanie whispered.

~Momma is simply worried about how the outside world is going to treat you sweetheart.~

Damon rubbed his wife's tense shoulders. ~But, she will have a large family protecting and teaching her. Don't worry Bonnie, neither of you will be alone again. I love you beautiful.~

~Back at ya, handsome.~

Stephanie hurtfully asked, ~Does anyone love me?~

Damon laid a possessive hand on Bonnie's stomach. ~We both love you baby girl. And we are going to do all that is possible to protect you and your momma.~

~I sleepy dada.~

~Goodnight then Stephanie, sweet dreams daddy's little girl.~

~Night night dada … night night momma.~

Bonnie rested her head on Damon's shoulder. ~Goodnight baby girl.~

However, this fated spirit family had no idea that their celebration was being spied on by two sets of eyes burning with hate.

****

Damon opened his senses, looking for his next prey from the shadows. Bonnie had been pregnant for eight days, and the next night they would be taking care of a bundle of joy. He was enjoying his role of taking care of his blossoming wife and unborn daughter by doing all of the hunting the two girls would need to survive.

He thought back to their wedding night and the night she awoke his Queen of Darkness. Her first thoughts about what she had been turned into had humbled Damon. He remembered how she mentioned she didn't know how alive the night was. The woods certainly were alive that night. It had been so long since he last noticed that himself. Bonnie made him better than he was on his own.

Then his revelry was shattered by the presence of those minds. Filled with hate and anger.

"Come out girls. Did you really think that you could hide away from me?" Damon growled.

The next thing he knew Damon was rolling onto his back after being knocked to the ground from behind. How had they gotten that close without his knowing it?

"Did you think you could really pick us up? Sissy was right, you are the dummier of the two brothers." Little Anastasia giggled.

Beside her was her elder sister, Lareyne. "Katherine became stronger than you by returning to Klaus, why didn't you see that his teachings would make us all the stronger. After all we were with him longer than sissy was."

"How did you two get turned? You were too young to be turned. Your minds weren't fully grown." Damon asked.

"Sissy made us what we are now. She wanted you to choose her, but you helped to kill her." Anastasia kicked Damon in the side, jumped up and down happily when she heard his ribs crack and the pain filled scream that tore from his throat.

Lareyne grinned as her echoing kick to his other side produced the same effect. "You even mated yourself to one of those who took our sister away. You married the one who took Klaus from us. He was protecting us, and she helped destroy him."

Anastasia's wicked smile mirrored her sister's, making Damon's heart freeze with fear as they spoke in unison. "Don't worry about the baby, we will take care of her. We will make her a part of our family soon enough."

Before he could send a thought to the others in warning, or a goodbye to his wife and daughter, the sisters blacked out Damon. What the twin terrors didn't expect was that Bonnie had been sitting up awaiting his return with the blood he was hunting for. Instinctively she knew that her husband was in danger, by the two who had brought him back to her. Only then did she know that had been the girls' plan from the start.

"Oh God no! I drew Damon back here so that they could kill him! This is all my fault and he can't fight them alone!" She gasped between her tears as she panicked in her grief. With everything in her body, Bonnie shouted with her mind. ~Everyone wake up right now!~

Damon is out, Bonnie is panicked and very, very pregnant, and we find out what the twin terrors are out to do. What comes next? Well the more reviews come in the faster I write. Haven't I done so thus far?
