Addison Gilbert POV*
Currently, Lena, Cinnabon, and myself are walking into the school. And Bon is trying to lecture the sis about Stefman even though not long ago we were complimenting his hot back. "I'm not saying don't date the guy. I'm just saying take it slow."
"You were the one who said to go for it." Good point sister of mine, she's gets it from me, even though she's, ya know, older then myself.
"Now I'm saying take it slow."
"That doesn't make sense Bon Bon."
Lena stopped, "Why the about-face?"
"It's not an about-face. You're single for the first time in your entire high school career. It's the perfect time to play the field."
I slowly raised my hand, "I played the field, look where that got me." But of course, they ignored me.
"Oh, because I'm so that girl. Seriously, what are you not saying?" Lena pried at the shorter girl.
"It's stupid." I'm sure.
"Bonnie..."
"Bon Bon," guess who said which.
"What?"
"Spit it out."
"Yeah Bon, don't be shy."
"I accidentally touched Stefan. And I got a really bad feeling."
"Hold on, what? You touched him, that's not very convincing darling." I think she's gotten into her Grams' secret stash.
"Is that it? Bonnie."
"It was bad bad!"
I piped up, "Hey, now don't get mad mad at us!"
"Is this the whole witch mojo thing again?" I mean, probably.
"You know what? I'm just concerned. This is me expressing concern about my best friend's new boyfriend." You didn't do that when I got pregnant Bon Bon, my feelings are hurt.
"And I love you for it, I do. But I feel good. It's been a hard year, and I'm starting to kind of feel like things are getting back to normal again. And you know what? Stefan is a big part of that." Oh you had a hard year, that's funny Lena.
"On the topic of Salvatore's, I had a really weird dream last night."
Cinnamon Bon looked over at me, "What was it?"
I was about to answer when I heard the voice of the one and only hot back, "Good morning, Elena. Good morning, Bonnie. And hello to you Addison."
"Hey, um, I gotta find Caroline. She's not answering her phone. So I'll see you guys later." Oh, that's who we are missing.
Before Bon Bon left I told her I would tell her my dream later, and then she was gone.
"Bonnie, wait..."
"She doesn't like me very much." He can pick up the signals, my goodness, get him a gold star.
"I'm gonna go talk to Ty and Matt," geez, standing around Stefan is making me think of Damon. I gotta get out of here.
I walked up to Tyler and Matt and heard Tiller saying, "Look...there's Elena and her new boyfriend. Now, what are they doing? Oh, they're walking, walking, walking. Yep. Right into the sunset."
I rolled my eyes from beside Tyler, and Matt jokingly told him, "You're a dick."
"While you just stand there looking like one of those little yard trolls." What the hell.
I slung my arm around his shoulder, well after grabbing his shoulder and pulling him down, "I think those are called gnomes Ty, not little yard trolls."
Tyler shook me off as Mattchew ranted at him, "Hey, what am I supposed to do, Ty? She made her choice."
"Let her know she made the wrong one." I shook my head.
"I don't feel good about this, I mean, Stefan's a great guy Ty, he doesn't deserve this." I'm trying to be responsible, is it working?
"What are you doing? Ty, don't. Ty, don't! Ty!" Tyler threw the ball at Stefan anyways, I guess I can't be responsible to save my life huh?
Stefan, who has his back to us turns around like, super fast and caught the ball. He then threw the ball super hard at Ty, making him stumble back. We were all shocked, and I saw Elena laughing at us, making me roll my eyes and pat Ty on the back. "He's just the package Ty, nothing you can do about it. Plus, he loves my baby, win win, uncle material."
I ignored the glare my blue eyed best friend gave me as Tyler turned to me, "Maybe you should date him if he loves your baby so much, dad material."
I heard Matt mutter, "I'm uncle material." to himself as I answered Tyler.
"Nope, I'm off boys and he's with the twin, I got a baby to take care of Tiller, and you love my baby, does that make you dad material? I don't think so" I intensely shook my head at him.
Matt laughed at me as Tyler messed up my hair, making me swat at him. After the torture I was forced to endure, we all made our way to Tanner's class.
I sat down beside Bonnie and saw she was writing down some numbers onto her notebook, 8, 14, and 22.
"World war II ended in...Anyone got anything?" My hand shot up, "Miss Juan?" I waved it around, "Fine, Miss Gilbert."
I smirked at him, "1945."
"Pearl Harbor." My hand shot up again. "Miss Gilbert?" I was about to answer, "Not you Addison. Elena."
Elena's head shot up, "Hmm?"
"Pearl Harbor?"
Elena took awhile to think, "Um..."
"December 7, 1941."
"Thank you, Miss Gilbert." Oh that wasn't me, Stef saved Lena's ass. I'm trying to make Tanner like Gilberts, not the opposite.
"Anytime."
"Very well. The fall of the Berlin wall." 1989.
"1989. I'm good with dates, sir." Awe me too Stef, gold star for you. Man I really spend too much time at the daycare huh.
"Are you? So is my best student, Miss Gilbert. How good? Keep it to the year, both of you. Civil Rights Act."
"1964." Jinx.
"John F. Kennedy assassination."
"1963." Jinx again!
"Martin Luther King."
"'68." You're doing amazing sweetie.
"Lincoln."
"1865." I wanna get the gold star this time.
"Roe vs. Wade."
"1973." I'm on fire baby, can't touch dis.
"Brown vs. Board."
"1954." I got this bitch.
"The battle of Gettysburg."
"1863." Too easy Tanner, try a little harder.
"Korean war."
"1950 to 1953." Ima bad bitch, bad bitch in the house!
"Ha! Your both wrong. It ended in '52." What, no it didn't!
"Uh, actually, sir, it was '53." Stefan to the rescue.
"Look it up, somebody. Quickly." You gonna be wrong Tanner, just you wait buddy.
"It was 19...53." Some random student said, proving that I'm smart as hell. And then the bell rang, and as I got up, Tanner gave me a mean glare, well damn you just can't win with this guy.
—~•+•~—
After school I followed Elena out to the field for her cheerleading practice because she said she had to tell me something. As we walked up to Bonnie, she exclaimed, "Oh, my God! You're here!"
Elena smiled, "Yep. I can't be sad girl forever. The only way to get things back to the way they were are to do things that were. Oh, and you're coming to dinner tonight."
"I am?"
"She is?" Bonnie and I said at the same time.
"Mm-hmm. You, Addison, me, and Stefan, maybe Chloe. You have to give him a chance."
"When did I sign up for this?"
Lena glared over at me as Bonnie started talking, "Tonight's no good. Have you seen Caroline? I texted her like a hundred times."
"Yeah I was wondering the same thing actually, wait what were we talking about?" I'm so confused right now.
"Don't change the subject, Bonnie Bennett, and stop confusing Addison! You're going to be there." Man she's scary when she wants something, damn.
Bonnie sighed, "Fine. I'll go."
"Good." Lena can pull some damn weird smiles up in here, I'm actually scared.
Out of the corner of my eye I see Matt complaining to Tyler, big surprise there, then Tyler got all excited, hooping and hollering. Then I heard Bonnie start talking beside me.
"Seriously, where is Caroline?"
Oh yeah, Care isn't here, how strange, "I don't know. It's not like her."
"Last I talked to her was last night, but she just randomly hung up on me, so I figured she was busy," I told the girls, while grabbing my phone, seeing I have a text from her.
Carebear: Be there in 10
"I'll try her again." Bonnie pulled out her phone. I looked up and saw Caroline ridding up in some dudes car. I looked at the dude and almost dropped my phone.
Elena, also seeing this let out, "Uh..."
"Oh, my God. That must be the mystery guy from the grill." I'm honestly speechless right now.
"That's not a mystery guy. That's Damon Salvatore."
"Salvatore, as in Stefan?!" Yes Bon, those Salvatore's.
I nodded, "The one and only."
"I got the other brother. Hope you don't mind." Oh I'm going to kill her. I blocked her out as I watched Damon start his car again, we met eyes and he smirked at me, winking, before he drove off.
I need to get me some holy water from what I want him to do with that, um, never mind. Too explicit, I'm just going to go to work and go home.
—~•+•~—
When I got home from work I changed Chloe's clothes to something that would be impressionable for Stef the man, he might be her future uncle for all we know.
While we waited for Stefan to get here I was in the living room with Chloe, trying to get her to sit up. She just about had it until the doorbell rang, and I had to pick her up and bring her to the kitchen. I put her in the high chair so she could watch us and I wouldn't have to worry about her too much.
And now we are all in the kitchen eating in silence, and I'm really board. I was about to scream before Lena finally let out, "Did Tanner give you a hard time today?"
What about the football thing? "Well, he let me on the team, so I must have done something right."
I'm guessing it's about the football thing, but I'm sure Tanner still hates him, wouldn't surprise me much I've been his best student all throughout high school, and he still doesn't like me at all.
"Bonnie, you should have seen Stefan today. Tyler threw a ball right at him, and..."
"Yeah, I heard." Wow Bon, real harsh, what did hot back ever do to you?
Elena, the one to never give up for something she really wants asked, "Why don't you tell Stefan about your family?"
"Um, divorced. No mom. Live with my dad." I really don't think that's what she meant honey. I rolled my eyes and looked over at Chloe, who was having the time of her life right now, playing with a toy that Stefan brought for her. It's a little stuffed pig with spots and it's adorable.
"No, about the witches. Bonnie's family has a lineage of witches. It's really cool." Oh, the witch thing that you get annoyed with, great idea Lena.
"Cool isn't the word I'd use."
I raised my hand, "I think it's pretty cool."
"Yeah but your a history buff, it's weird," She rolled her eyes at me.
"Well, it's certainly interesting. I'm not too versed, but I do know that there's a history of Celtic druids that migrated here in the 1800s." Hot back butted in, probably seeing that I was about to yell at Bon Bon.
"My family came by way of Salem." You tell him Bon.
"Really? Salem witches?"
"Yeah."
"I would say that's pretty cool."
"Really? Why?"
"Salem witches are heroic examples of individualism and nonconformity."
"Yeah, they are." Awee, would you look at that, they're bonding.
I got up and picked Chloe up because she was making that face she does when she is really tired. I was just walking up to the stairs when the bell rang, and heard Lena say, "I wonder who that could be."
I was about halfway downstairs from laying Chloe down when I heard Caroline, "Surprise! Bonnie said you were doing dinner, so we brought dessert."
I looked up and there it was, Caroline, standing next to the one and only Damon Salvatore. He looked up and smirked at me, like he heard me coming or something.
"Oh." Elena said turning back seeing me walk down the stairs.
"Hope you both don't mind." Damon told her but still smirking at me.
Caroline saw me walking down the stairs and yelled, "Addie! Where's Chloe? Wait is she asleep, never mind she's probably asleep." Wow, a baby hog at their finest.
I was about to answer her, but the Stefmister beat me to it, "What are you doing here?"
Damon's eyes shifted t.o his brother, the smirk still on his face, "Waiting for Elena or Addison to invite me in."
Elena stepped back, "Oh, yeah, you can..." but she was cut off.
"No, no, no. He can't, uh...he can't stay. Can you, Damon?" Stef, why you hatin boy, just because Damon is a prick doesn't mean his sexy ass isn't allowed in the house.
Caroline rolled her eyes, "Get in here."
I made my way beside Care and she gave me a hug as Stef told Damon, "We're just...finishing up."
"It's fine. Just come on in." Elena spoke up over Stefan, and Damon made his way in smirk on his face.
He walked in and looked around, his eyes landing on me, "You have a beautiful home, Addison."
"Thank you," Twin and I said at the same time, then glared at each other after.
When all of us had settled into the living room after introductions, the baby monitor sitting on the coffee table started to cry, or my baby did, whichever you prefer. I got a wired look from Damon as I stood up to go get her, he probably doesn't know that I have a baby.
After going upstairs, and getting my beautiful baby, I came back to a wonderful conversation. Damon was talking to Elena, "You know, you don't seem like the cheerleader type, Elena."
Caroline jumped in, "Oh, it's just 'cause her parents died, and Addie had a baby. Yeah, I mean, they're just totally going through a blah phase. They used to be way more fun, Ads is kinda a buzzkill now, but Chloe's adorable. And I say that with complete sensitivity."
I saw the look on Damon's face as I came in holding my daughter, but he went blank and looked between Elena and Myself, "I'm sorry, girls. I know what it's like to lose both your parents. In fact, Stefan and I have watched almost every single person we've ever cared about die." And Caroline says I'm the buzzkill, damn girl.
"We don't need to get into that right now, Damon." Stefan spoke up, probably trying to make his brother back off.
"Oh, you know what, you're right, Stef. I'm sorry. The last thing I wanted to do was bring her up. Mmm." The hot blue eyed man mockingly told his brother. Man why do I got to be attracted to the bad ones, that are also my best friends boyfriend.
—~•+•~—
After a bit of chatting Care stole my child from me, so I excused myself to the kitchen to do some dishes. I was about to close the dishwasher when someone spoke behind me.
"One more." Surprise, surprise, guess who it is. If you guessed hot back your wrong, but if you guessed the hot one with blue eyes and is raven haired, then you would be correct.
I jumped and turned around, seeing Damon behind me with a glass in his hand. "Oh, you startled me, thank you." I extended my hand to grab it from him, and it slid right through.
I shut my eyes waiting for the sound of it shattering, but didn't hear anything, so I looked. I laughed a bit realizing he caught the glass, "Well, at least I don't have to worry about the glass when Chloe starts crawling, nice catch."
Damon gave me what I assume to be his signature smirk, "I like you. You know how to laugh. And your daughter is quite adorable, how old is she?"
"4 months, and thank you." I smiled when he brought her up.
"Where is her father, might I ask?" The raven haired man asked after I let out her age.
I shook my head, "I have no idea, I was drunk when she was conceived, and then she was 2 months early, but I guess I never really worried about it, the doctors say she is perfectly healthy."
Damon nodded, but didn't answer so I decided to ask him a question, "So earlier, where you talking about Kathrine?"
"Mm-hmm." Was all he told me.
"I'm very sorry for you loss. How did she die?"
"In a fire. Tragic fire." He slightly looked away from me, probably a bit uncomfortable.
I slowly nodded not prying into her death anymore, "What was she like?"
Damon smirked, "She was beautiful. A lot like you in that department. She was also very complicated and selfish and at times not very kind, but very sexy and seductive."
I stared at him for a few seconds, "So which one of you dated her first?"
"Nicely deduced. Ask Stefan. I'm sure his answer differs from mine." He gazed at me for a second, a thoughtful look on his face, "I think we have met before."
I raised an eyebrow at him, "Why do you say that?"
"I think it was a Halloween party last year, ya know, in Boston, I think you said you were on a school trip or somthing." His answer threw me in a loop, that was the Halloween party that I got pregnant at. That dream is making more sense now.
"Oh, yeah, I think I remember that, but not too much." I told him after processing what he said.
"So, were you a cheerleader too?" He asked me after searching my face, probably to figure out what I was thinking.
I smiled and shook my head, "No, that's just Lena, I played volleyball and basketball, but I really don't have the time anymore."
"You don't have time, or you just don't want to?"
"No, I want to, but I don't want to be one of those teen moms that pushes their baby onto their family just so I can go have a bunch of fun, I want to be a good mom."
"That's probably one of he many things that sets you apart from anyone your age." Those blue eyes are piercing my soul right now.
I smiled, "Thank you, that means a lot. Oh and I'm sorry about Kathrine, you lost her too."
He looked like her was about to say something when Bonnie walked in, "Hey, do you guys need any help?"
Damon shifted his gaze from mine, "Sure, that would be great."
After he responded he left the kitchen as Elena came in. Bonnie gave me a look after I watched him leave, "What Bon, what's the look for?"
She shook her head at me, "You shouldn't do that."
"I shouldn't do what, I was just talking to him."
"He's Caroline's boyfriend, and you have a baby, you can't go hitting on him like that."
I gaped at her, "I wasn't hitting on him, why would I, and I'm well aware that I have a baby." I turned and left, bumping into Care who was on her way in with my child.
I went right past Stefan and Damon in the living room and went upstairs into my room. After a few seconds I heard a knock on the door, and opened it to see Bonnie standing there with Chloe.
"I'm sorry, I know that you wouldn't do that, but I really don't want Care coming to me about another boy going for a Gilbert twin."
I nodded, and took Chloe as Bonnie had offered her to me, "Yeah, I get it. I know what you meant, and I'm sorry for wigging out on you like that."
She smiled and said her goodbyes before leaving.
—~•+•~—
The next day, after school I had to work, so I showed up to the game later than most people, and I had Chloe without her carrier, because I didn't want to carry it around all night.
I stepped beside Elena after finding her in the crowd, and listened to Tanner as he gave a speech. I tuned most of it out, but I saw Tyler get pissed off, and turn away during it, and saw him heading towards my brother.
I gave Chloe to Lena really quickly and headed to where they were. All of the sudden Tyler punched Jer in the face and just kept going at him. Jeremy got him back though, that's pretty much what got the whole fight started.
"Jeremy, Tyler, stop! Stop it right now!" I screamed as Stefan came in and grabbed Tyler's wrist. Jeremy was on the ground, so I ran to him as I heard Stefan yelling at Tyler.
I turned my head and saw Tyler punch Stefan in the stomach, but Stefan didn't seem affected at all by it. While I was distracted by that, Jeremy started getting up, and he pushed me to the side and I saw that he had a broken bottle in his hand. I was about to yell at Tyler and Stefan to warn them, but Jer has already stabbed at them.
I saw Stefan pull Tyler away so he wouldn't get hurt, but he wasn't so lucky. I saw the bottle cut Stefan's hand. By this point Elena was near us, and yelled at Jer, "Jeremy, no!"
Matt came over and grabbed Tyler, making him back off, "Tyler, knock it off! Stop!"
"What the hell, Jeremy? Put your head up, you're bleeding." Lena came over and started yelling at Jeremy, making Chloe start to cry.
I grabbed her and tried to clam her down as Jer yelled back at Lena, "I'm fine!"
"Yeah, you smell fine." Lena snapped back ignoring everyone else around.
Jeremy glared at her, "Just stop, ok?"
I got in between the both of them, "How about you both stop." I glanced over at Matt seeing him drag Tyler away, and focused back on Elena, who was now fussing over Hot Back.
I saw him with his hand behind his back, trying to reassure my prying older twin that he is perfectly fine, even though I saw that bottle slice his palm.
"Is it deep? How bad is it? Come on!" Lena just wouldn't give up, and ended up grabbing his hand and opening his palm, but there was just a tiny smug of blood on it. My jaw dropped while Lena communicated exactly what I was feeling, "But...I saw it, it was..."
Stefan raised his hand, "He missed. It's not my blood. See? I'm fine."
I cut in, "But I saw the glass cut your hand, like, 100 percent, no doubt about it."
"It's ok. I'm ok. It's almost kick-off time, all right? So, um, I'll, uh, I'll see you after the game." He rushed out to both of us before turning and leaving.
As Elena walked over to Bonnie I decided to go to the car and get a bottle for Chloe, and maybe change her diaper. I was bouncing her up and down a bit while try to do things in the car with one hand.
"Need a hand?" I jumped, almost screaming, and glared at the hot man with blue eyes that had just snuck up on me.
"You scared the hell out of me!" I looked at him, "and yeah, can you hold her for a minute?" I held Chloe out to him, and he reluctantly grabbed her from me, unsure of himself. I smiled a bit and turned, rummaging through the car for he diaper bag, "So what are you doing out here anyways?"
I finally got ahold of her bag and grabbed the bottle I pumped at work before I left and took the cap off handing the bottle to him. "I'm hiding from Caroline." He told me as he tried to get her to take the bottle.
"And why is that?" I asked after I had gotten everything in my car.
"I needed a break. She talks more than I can listen." He smirked up at me as he finally got Chloe to take from the bottle.
I rolled my eyes, "Well, that's Care, if you can't handle it than it must be a sign you shouldn't have started it."
Damon looked back down at my baby, "Well, she's awfully young."
"Not much younger than you are." I pointed out, still leaning against the car watching him feed my daughter.
"I don't see it going anywhere in the bigger picture. I think she'd drive me crazy." Is he really trying to blame Caroline for him leading her on?
I glared at him, "Listen here buddy, Care might not be your cup of tea but she's been my best friend since kindergarten and that means you really shouldn't be coming to me about you problems."
"Duly noted. I'm sorry if I make you uncomfortable. That's not my intention." He unapologetically said, taking the bottle out of Chloe's mouth, and handing her back to me, along with the bottle.
I looked up at him, "That's exactly your intention, or you wouldn't have walked over here and talked about it if it wasn't."
He weirdly looked into my eyes, "You're right. I do have other intentions, but so do you."
"Oh do I," I sarcastically asked, still glaring at him.
"Mm-hmm. I see 'em. You want me." The actual fuck does this guy think he is, he's hot but I'm no boyfriend stealing bitch.
"I beg your pardon?"
"I get to you. You find yourself drawn to me. You think about me even when you don't want to think about me. I bet you even dreamed about me. And right now...You want to kiss me." He leaned down, and I stepped back glaring at him.
"What the hell? I don't know what game you're trying to play with Caroline and I here, but I don't want to be part of it. And even if I did, I have more than just me to worry about asshole so back off." I turned and got back into my car, and waited for him to walk away so I could put Chloe in her seat and leave.
While I was waiting I pulled out my phone and told Elena I was leaving.

3rd POV*
Damon was standing over Addison's bed in her room, holding a sleepy Chloe. He looks at her before placing her back into her crib and walking back over to the sleeping teen mothers bed.
He quietly leaned down and place a lingering kiss to her forehead, remembering the night of the Halloween party almost a year ago now. He actually forgot about Kathrine that night, and if vampires could procreate, Chloe might have been his. But that's just it, vampires can't procreate, even if he wished that the blue eyed baby was his.
He stood up and caressed the brunette beauty's cheek before she started to wake up. The girl sat up in bed, looking over at her baby seeing her asleep, before shutting off her bedside lamp and laying back down, thinking about her weird dreams about the raven haired Salvatore brother.
