Did you really think that I would put Bonnie into trouble and not pull her out? Shame on those who have screamed 'yes'! Damon and Bonnie 4-ever! Anyone thought about asking LJ Smith to write a series about them?

Chapter Eleven

"It has taken another two hours, but finally she has stopped bleeding and the clots have stopped coming out. Damon you have to go hunt for her as if she had three babies in her belly. Bonnie is very weak, but she'll pull through if we keep taking care of her body for now." Sabrina spoke softly as she cleaned the blood from her hands.

Shawn walked in as if on cue. "I've hunted enough for two. That should help a little."

"Go ahead and feed her only enough to give her strength without weakening yourself … son. If something happens while I'm out hunting, your uncle will need help defending our family." Damon grinned as he spoke. It felt strange having a grown child, but he guessed that was how he always felt for the young man – ever since he saw Shawn's family disown the adolescent.

Once Shawn nodded and disappeared into the room his weakened mom was resting in, Damon looked to Sabrina. "Nana, please tell me that Bonnie is going to make it through this. I can't lose her."

"Go get her something to eat. You might find a pleasant surprise when you return."

Damon rushed out with a new hope in his chest.

****

In just over two hours, Damon had fed well enough for five vampires. Just as Nana had described he had only took what could be spared from thirty humans. And then he gathered extra blood from five deer in the forest on his way home. He had never felt so full, yet knew why it was so important.

As he neared the cabin, two hated voices assaulted his mind.

~We haven't left.~

~We not done yet.~

~We will avenge sissy.~

~We will restore our Master.~

Then they spoke in unison, ~sooner or later.~

Damon simply transformed and rushed home. He didn't want to waste anymore of the precious energy than was absolutely needed. Bonnie was going to need all that he could spare for her.

That brought his mind back on his beloved. What had done to her? He had torn away her virginity, turned her, knocked her up – all leaving her so weak that the girl's attack sent her into a difficult labor that might have cost her life!

~Damon child, she loves you as deeply as you love her. You have given her a husband who will love her forever, immortal life with which to share with that husband, and a daughter to adore along with that. No more self-hatred now, child. You have a surprise awaiting you, so hurry home now.~ Sabrina echoed into the mind of a large crow gliding towards the cabin.

As Damon flew into the open bedroom window, he turned back into his human form. The sight before him sent his eyes wide with shock!

"Hey handsome. What took you so long?"

Bonnie was awake, propped up on dozens of pillows and nursing their daughter! Damon dropped to his knees next to her and choked back a sob.

~Dada home now? Yay! Love dada! Love momma!~ Stephanie cheered as she suckled from her mother.

"Yes, baby girl. Dada is home. I thought we lost you, love." Damon growled at how he couldn't hold back his tears.

Bonnie patted the bed to encourage him to settle next to her and their child. Once he complied, she snuggled as close as she could while feeding their baby. "I just needed to rest. Shawn told me about your orders, but don't be angry at his disobedience. He could feel that I only needed a little more strength to wake up, and our daughter was very hungry – considering she is on my second breast."

"Shawn and I will talk later. But, as he saw a factor I didn't dare to hope for, I won't be angry with him. I'm only happy to have you and our daughter in my arms, my Queen."

Bonnie sighed happily as she rested her head on his shoulder. ~I love you, my King. I'm still so tired.~

~Well, I think that I can help you when it comes to that.~ Damon softly sent as he offered her his wrist.

Bonnie chuckled before sinking her fangs into his vein, wincing with him at the pain. In a matter of minutes she was feeling much better, and their daughter was sound asleep in her cradle. As they cuddled and enjoyed that sweet time of renewing their love for one another, a knock on the door interrupted their peace.

Bonnie covered her husband's lips forcefully to keep him quiet. "Yes?"

In came Shawn, who was visibly worried about this meeting. "Hey mom … dad. I wanted to make sure the three of you are alright."

"We're fine son … especially thanks to you." Bonnie smiled at her little one she never got to birth – still he had a special place in her heart.

Damon had his mask on, which was only for show … though only Bonnie knew that for certain. She removed her hand from his mouth and settled back into his arms. "From what I understand, you disobeyed me … son. I told you to not weaken yourself while feeding your mom."

"Dad, sis was hungry and mom only needed a little more than I had for her. But, you're right … I did defy you." He looked down at the floor. This was a talk he had been half expecting and dreading all the same for centuries. Damon was going to dump him, just as Shawn's mortal family had ages before.

Damon got up, walked over to the young man, and grabbed him by the shoulders. His very presence made Shawn look up from the boards beneath his feet. "Shawn … my son … I owe you. Right now I want you to expel that thought from your mind. I am never ever banishing you. Your mom and I are blessed to have you in our family, and we see that – unlike those long dead fools that threw you away. I am proud to call you my son."

Damon pulled a stunned Shawn into his arms, and after a beat they embraced with Bonnie wiping her pride-filled tears from her face. Stephanie's coos and giggles brought smiles to all of their faces.

~Momma … Dada? I lonely.~

~Hey little sister!~

Stephanie squealed in happiness. ~Bubby! Hold me!~

"You are being summoned son." Damon chuckled before going to pick the little girl up out of her crib.

Bonnie smiled at the look of her little family, "and that would give your dad and I some time for us."

"Then that cinches it without a question mom. Well little sister, let's go visit our family. Thanks mom … dad. The two of you can't imagine how much this means to me."

Damon settled his darling daughter into the arms of his first son, "I know. Take care of him, Stephanie. Keep big brother on his toes."

~Okay dada! Love bubby!~

That made the adults smile and chuckle, as Shawn carried the little girl into the living room.

Once the door shut, Damon heard his beloved let out a soft growl of hunger. "Damon. Are you coming to bed … or do I come over there and throw you on it?"

"Nice to see that you're feeling better my Queen. But, we will be waiting to have fun until you are fully healed." Damon teasingly purred as he stalked onto the mattress and hovered over her reclined form.

Bonnie stuck her lips out in a teasing pout. "I don't think I can handle twenty-four hours without playing with you. After all we only had one really hot night before becoming parents."

"You will survive. I'm sure that Elena and Stefan could handle our little girl for a night or two. After all they'll need the practice. For now may I hold tight to my dear love … my wife … my Queen … my only?"

Not willing to wait, Bonnie used his shoulders to move him so that he was laying on his back relaxing on the pillows she had been using only moments before. Once she had him down she quickly pulled the blankets over their bodies and settled into the arms of her beloved King.

****

It had taken the two little girls hours to get to their 'home' by way of shadows only. A few accidental brushings with moonlight had left them both with patches of burned flesh over various places on their bodies. It was time to stop playing with their prey.

"What are we gonna do sissy?" Anastasia whimpered.

Lareyne growled, "how do I know?"

*Girls, girls, girls. Patience, is key right now. I will send you a friend to help you. Will that be better?*

"Yes, please." Both girls said in unison.

*Fine. You came close to eliminating the witch tonight. I know you don't like her, but she is the only one who can help right now. I want you to 'convince' her in your little way, not kill her. Now if she won't change her mind, the friend I am sending you will do it for her.*

"We miss you bunches." Anastasia cried out as the contact pulled away, gaining a ghostly kiss on her cheek that lit up her face.

Lareyne glared evilly at the younger girl, "suck up!"

****

Bonnie had woke with a start when Stephanie cried out from her crib. As she started to climb out of bed she saw that Damon too had heard their daughter's cries and had reasoned that his wife needed to rest.

"How's our little angel?"

Damon smiled as he winked over to his love. "She's fine … nothing more than a full diaper and an empty belly. You up to it, or should I figure out …"

"Damon, she's still too little for a bottle. The first few days are important … anti-bodies and that stuff. How are you feeling?" Bonnie was still worried about how she had acted in the clearing. It hurt that she had come so close to doubting her love, the father of her child, her King.

Damon brought Stephanie to the bed, and saw plaintively what was on his wife's mind. "Bonnie, I want you to let that go right now. Two obviously powerful vampire brats were influencing you. To be honest, I never knew that you were so strong. I just don't know why you still think the best of me … after all that I have done."

"Have done. Those are the operative words. All of that is in the past. And besides, I know you for who you really are. Our wedding night, when you opened up to me like you did – and when we announced Stephanie's name for the first time – all of that showed me that I was always right, you are a good man deep inside. I love you, Damon."

Bonnie's words created a lump in the once dark vampire's throat. The fact that he had trusted her and his family with so much of his soul had in the end saved them all. When Bonnie needed a reason to believe … it dawned on him suddenly.

~Yes, my love. As I was your reason to believe that we would survive, so you became that to me. I knew that you were testing Elena, and that you had no true longings for her or Katherine. I knew that I have you heart, and I refuse to give you up without a fight.~

Laying their daughter into her arms, Damon pulled his wife close for a deep kiss. ~I love you, my Queen. I hope that I never foolishly relinquish your faith in me.~

~I hungry momma.~

That small voice sent rippling chuckles of happiness through the couple. Bonnie gave up her left breast to the tiny miracle, while Damon held them both tight in his arms. Neither parent was certain that this peaceful moment was real, but hoped dearly that it would last.

****

The next night, Bonnie cast the same spell of protection to safe guard her first hunt. Stefan and Elena agreed to baby sit as the pair left with their eldest child – Bonnie walking between the two men.

Bonnie had gotten back her figure in hours, so she was wearing one of the skintight outfits Damon had bought her for that first birthday. At first all that he was seeing was her body, twice his beloved wife pulled him out of the way of danger that he didn't see coming.

Even with the dark glasses that hid his eyes, the smirk on his face told Bonnie exactly what was on his mind. She curled into his arms, pushed up his shades up to look into those hungered eyes, and purred into his ear, "like what you see, handsome?"

"Do you want me to tell you or show you, my Queen?"

Bonnie chuckled as her husband's hands grabbed her rear and yanked her hard towards his body. "You can peel me out of this outfit when we get home. For now, I'm famished. Now are we going hunting or are you going to feed me?"

"I rather like feeding you. Especially when it's from places other than my wrist. But any place I can get those sweet lips to touch is fine with me."

Bonnie's eyes now were also glimmering with a deep hunger. "You are a hopeless flirt, Mr. Salvatore!"

"And you love it, Mrs. Salvatore."

Shawn cleared his throat, "are you kids ready to go get something to eat?"

Both raised an eyebrow before saying in unison, "yes daddy!"

****

Ten minutes into their hunt, the trio came upon a grown man trying to rape an eleven-year-old girl.

~Honey, shall we put this monster in his place?~ Bonnie's eyes showed the anger she was feeling at seeing this.

Damon winked at his Queen with a wicked smirk on his face. ~I think that you are ready to take on a prey, beautiful. And in that outfit, I think that he will find it difficult to see what is about to hit him.~

~Well, let's see if I can prove you right.~ Bonnie slipped her own black sunglasses on as she sauntered towards the man and weeping girl. "Hope I'm not interrupting anything."

The girl looked at Bonnie as if she was a goddess and screamed, "please, help me!"

"Can't you see that we're on a date! That is unless you want to take her place, bitch." The very ugly man growled as he took in the woman slowly making her way to him with a smirk.

Bonnie chuckled as she posed before them, brushing a stray hair behind her ear. "You're trying to take a child, and seem to think you could take me on. Maybe I should teach you a little lesson. Sweetheart, why don't you run on home … I think I can fully punish this sleaze."

The girl didn't give the man a second to consider his choices before running back down the alleyway and into the night. The man opened a switchblade – while this unnerved Damon to a point that Shawn had to hold him back, Bonnie threw her head back and laughed. "So, that makes you more of a man! You think that little piece of metal will protect you from me? Oh, are you going to get a severe reality check!"

"Well, once I'm done with you, I think my friends would like to play too." With a snap of his fingers five other men walked into the alley.

"Oh no! Six men against little me? Would you mind if my husband and son come in to make the fight fair? Oh love, are the two of you busy?"

All six men chuckled until Bonnie smirked in a way that quickly silenced them. Both men came to stand behind Bonnie. Damon slid off her glasses, slipping them into a pocket inside of his leather jacket. "We wouldn't miss this night for the world. Now that should protect your glasses."

"Yours too handsome." Bonnie took his and hooked them to the front of her blouse. "Can you take care of one of them for me? I want to take my time with this … thing."

Recognizing the growl that last word brought from his wife, Damon chuckled as he kissed her ear. "Have fun love."

Bonnie threw her monster into the wall next to them, as Shawn and Damon attacked the rest of the group. The fear in their blood made Bonnie almost loose herself. If it hadn't been for Damon purring in her mind, Lord knows how she would have acted. ~Bonnie, remember to only take what you need lover.~

~I know we want to have food for another day. Thanks for calming me down, handsome.~ As she tore into the guy's neck, Bonnie purred to her love, ~Now I see why you prefer human over animal. Any chance of my getting a snack off of you later on?~

~I would count it as a strong possibility, my Queen.~ Damon growled as he fed.

In minutes the vampire trio were full, and the gang had learned a rough lesson of never raping preteens. Of course the attack was erased from the men's memories.

Bonnie smiled while she bounced between her son and husband as the three of them entered the woods. "I haven't felt this good in ages! So, what do we do now?"

"I'm going to leave the two of you to your own games. After all I am a grown boy, and mom's spell should keep me safe." Shawn grinned as he turned into a fox and ran off in search of his own fun.

Bonnie chuckled as Damon came behind her and pulled her tight to his body. "What have you got bubbling in your mind, my sweet dark lover?"

"Why should our son be the only one enjoying this night?" Damon growled playfully as he nibbled on his beloved wife's neck and kneaded her hips in his hand.

Instinctively, she reached behind her head and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Anytime I have you with me I do enjoy myself, my Damon. Am I strong enough to turn into an animal?"

"Maybe. What animal would you pick my lover?" Damon playfully nipped his wife's ear. Though he barely held himself back when she turned around and rubbed herself against him saying, "I think you know well what I long to be my love."

"Then see yourself enveloped in light, and allow yourself to be filled by the feelings the image of that animal gives you. The wind blowing past you, nothing below or above, only you." Damon growled into her ear seductively.

Bonnie chuckled as she slowly pulled out of his arms, wearing a smirk that would leave all of his cold. "Wrong animal Damon. Time for a game of tag."

She turned and ran as she did as her loved said. Bonnie could see the glow, and then chose her new form. The wild calling echoing on the winds, winds brushing against her body, her heart beating strong and fast. Paws beating against the uneven floor of the forest, she ran a few beats before turning around to seek the look on her husband's face at her turning into a wolf. But he wasn't where she had left him.

~Damon? Where are you? Are you all right?~ Bonnie near tearfully sent out.

A howl tore through the night behind her. Damon had followed her suit and turned into his wolf form. ~You didn't say who was 'it' lover!~

The pair chuckled, howled and chased one another into the thick deep heart of the woods. Each was quickly becoming aware the scents their mate was sending onto the air. Before Bonnie had time to react, her husband had her mounted – and Bonnie loved it! It felt so wild and free, she loved how he held nothing back as he took her. Inside she wished with all her heart that she was again fertile, so they could carry a child to term without any problems.

Once they finally calmed, they returned to their human forms and cuddled near a beautiful waterfall and stream. Damon looked on his beloved wife as she rested contentedly on his shoulder. "I felt your longing my Queen. Maybe in a few months, once we know that you are healed and safe."

"I am healed love. But I can understand about the idea of safety. Still I wish that we could have a baby without worrying about my being attacked – you know a normal delivery." Bonnie whispered.

"Tell you a secret?" When she nodded, Damon continued. "I wouldn't mind our little girl having a little brother or sister. I guess that I wish I could get you with child again."

Sabrina chuckled as she rocked her great-great granddaughter beside the living room fireplace. "Stephanie, if your parents only knew what was ahead of them. From what my visions, you are not going to be an only child."

~Goodie! I hungry, Nana. When momma and dada coming home?~

Sabrina smiled as she felt out for the child's missing parents. ~Oh little ones … your child is hungry!~

~On our way nana!~ Bonnie sent back grinning. She still had a hard time believing that it wasn't a dream – she really was Damon's wife, and she had a beautiful and hungry baby girl waiting at home for her. "Time to go home, my King and only love."

"Let's go." Damon got up fast to help his wife to her feet. On the walk home he left her to wait a few minutes, as he hunted for two deer – pinning both quickly, he called out, "all ready, Bonnie!"

Damon showed his wife where to feed, and both feed deep – but not so much as to hurt the deer themselves. Bonnie fed to be certain she had enough in her belly for both her and her daughter, while Damon fed to make sure he could feed Bonnie if need be. Shortly they released their prey, and made their way home.

Walking into the door, the girl's parents found Elena leaning on Stefan as she paced in the living room – the pain evident on her face. Bonnie glanced up at her husband and chuckled. "Did I really say I wouldn't mind getting pregnant again? I must have forgotten the few nights you were doing that with me."

"Shut up Bonnie! This isn't funny!" Elena screamed in her pain, as she rubbed her back – her six month grown belly bouncing with her every step.

Damon kissed his wife as he walked passed her to their sister-in-law. "I think that I can help with this. That is considering I remember how Bonnie needed to have her back rubbed to ease the pain."

"That is after two nights of painful walking. How's momma's little girl? Are you hungry, baby girl?"

~I very hungry, momma!~

****

A growl ripped through the night as the family slept in preparation of Elena's delivery. It was calling for revenge, and won't wait long before finding its satisfaction.

~For now you must be patient friend.~

~They will be ours before too long.~

"I want them now!" He growled.

Seeing that their new friend was so unstable, the sisters slid him into sleep again. Come daylight the fun would once again begin.

Did I make their friend too obvious? Want more? I don't know if I should give it to ya! You have to tell me you want more.
