Chapter -The Missing

Bonnie manages to stay gone for month before the Salvatore brothers came kicking down the door to bring her back to mystic falls, kicking and screaming if that's the way she prefers it. . . 'fine with them, as long shes back with them.

And since doing so Damon and Stefan barely let her leave they're sights, if Damon isn't crawling through her window every night just to make sure she's still their and hasn't come up with more bright ideas that leaving them would be better. Damon thought she was absolutely 'crazy, for ever coming up with such idiocy. While he's there he never says anything he only sits and watches her. And Bonnie lay's there pretending to sleep. . . But most of all she wants him to lay with her but he never does the one time Damon listens to her, she really doesn't want him too. But he and Stefan had agreed to let her make the decision of choosing one of them when she's ready. . .

A decision she couldn't come to quick enough for either of them.

"I see it clearly, I'm standing at the alter and Damon's looking at me with stars in his eyes … and boom Stefan's there and its me stuck in the middle with the priest asking which one do you choose. .." Bonnie trails off. Caroline waits in anticipation, Bonnie has a habit of stopping in the middle of her sentence its quite annoying. "And then what happens?"

"I run screaming like a lunatic from the church,"

"Well, sweetie your subconscious is telling you to make-up your got damn mind already." Caroline retorts sarcastically.

"Well, I really, really wish it would give it a freaking rest," Bonnie exhales exhaustingly.

Caroline rubs Bonnie thigh. " I know you Bon, and I can tell you that you know who it is you want, you just have to say It and not be afraid of hurting someone."

"But I' am gonna hurt someone."

"Its okay, They'll get over it,"

Bonnie pulls back to engage Caroline in eye contact. "Its Damon, I want Damon" Bonnie says her voice barely above a whisper. Caroline smiles. " That was not my first choice."

Bonnie swats Caroline shoulder looks around the house.

"And how's that ass, you call a father."

"Caroline, Its not his fault, I'm the one that's pregnant"

Caroline squints at Bonnie. "He pisses me off, ignoring you like this…he should be supporting you"

"How would you react if your seventeen your daughter was pregnant"

"I'm really not gonna have that problem" Caroline flashes her fangs.. . Bonnie just rolls her eyes, but she was right. Her father's never been very supportive to begin with. Which makes Bonnie more grateful for her friends.

"I love you." Bonnie pouts happily.

"I love you more" Caroline hugs Bonnie.

Stefan watches, listening and with her last words his heart breaks and now he knows what he has to do for her and his brother. What he wants no longer matters.

Stefan tells himself that he can learn to love Elena again, she was all he ever wanted at one point in his life. He tells himself that loving Bonnie is nothing he can't get over, and he'll prove it. He tells himself that what he wants means nothing.

'What I want means nothing, right?

Stefan comes into the pallor, Damon is having a bourbon, he gives Stefan a knowing look. Like he knows where he's been. "How is she?"

" She's fine, she was with Caroline." Stefan pours himself a drink as well.

"Good." Damon says in a bored manner a weary smile, as he brings his glass to lips.

Stefan looks at Damon hesitant in his effort to step aside. "You really love her, don't you?"

Damon opens and shuts his mouth for a moment he thinks of Stefan and how his response will effect his brother. "More than anything or anyone and I mean anyone." He says affirmatively making sure Stefan understand what his love for Bonnie surpasses.

Stefan finishes his bourbon, wishing he had something a little stronger, at the moment.

"You're my brother and your all that have, your all I've ever had and I was selfish with you

Damon perks up in his seat, he knows that a brotherly moment is about to take place. "And your point is?"

Stefan needs to say this now before he changes his mind or Damon says something to piss him off. "My point is that ,Bonnie makes you happier than I ever seen you in my life. . .you deserve to be happy, with Bonnie," Stefan's voice cracks at the last part.

Damon stands suddenly. "But you love, her too" Damon keeps his blank and devoid emotion.

"Yes, but she wants you and I want stand in the way of what she wants."

"But. . ."

"No buts. . . Just be happy" Stefan concedes.

Stefan leaves Damon standing there, and Damon curses 'Stefan, for being so Damn selfless and stealing his move. . . Damon was this close from giving up his pursuit of the witch, because they always choose Stefan in the end (but what else is new). and Damon would rather throw in the towel or rip his own heart out then have her say to him that she chooses Stefan. and how does Stefan know what she wants, is he right?. Damon questions grabbing his jacket to leave.

Damon sneaks through her window, Bonnie pretends to be asleep. As he removes his jacket and shoes crawling into bed with her, he wrapped his arms around her and Bonnie melts into his body.

A moment of silence passes through the room he knows she awake, and she calms her insides Because she'll finally say the words out loud.

"I missed this," She says softly. Cradling his arms to her.

Damon kisses her hair snuggling her trying to merge his body with hers. "I choose you Bonnie."

"I choose you too." Bonnie turns to face him, those haunting ice-blue eyes bore into her soul, captivating her, stealing her very essence. and everything that is belongs to her now and forever.

'I choose you, Damon replays the words over in his head because he always wants to remember this and partly because he can't believe it. someone chooses him for once.

Bonnie wakes to find Damon missing from her bed. " He just went to get coffee, he'll be back" Stefan directed her attention towards him, away from the empty space in her bed.

she is startled for a moment. " Stefan, you two have got to learn to use the front door,"

Stefan lets a vague smile slip from his serious facade. "Sorry, I'll try from now on" Stefan looks like his heart is breaking into tiny pieces.

the look isn't lost on Bonnie. "We should talk."

"No need, you made your choice and I accept it," Stefan takes a seat on the edge of the bed. "I never wanted to hurt you."

"You didn't, I fell in love you, because your amazing, and its been a pleasure to love someone like you," Stefan eyes light-up, just because he's willing to let go doesn't mean he's going to stop loving her either. 'what she wants is important to me, and that's all that matter.

Bonnie caresses his cheek, "If I could express to you in words how amazing you are. . ." Bonnie leans in placing a tender kiss on his lips. Stefan moves his lips very little, he doesn't want give into his hunger.

"See ya."

"Later."

Damon stands outside the door... he knows what it's like to be on the outside looking in at something you want but never being able to touch. so he'll let Stefan have this moment because it's last he'll get.

He reminds himself that she chose him.

He knows she loves him, not Stefan.

'She chose me, Damon reminds himself.

The months fly by pretty quickly, Bonnie drives Damon crazy with all her late night cravings, and she freaks out after watching a birthing video, she 'swears, she not going to have her baby. She promises not to push when the time comes, Damon finds it all pretty adorable and in his own personal way he can't wait to be a father which is something he's afraid to admit out loud, he's afraid that he'll miss it up, that he wont be good enough but he's going to try his very best if this baby is his .

Stefan and Elena slowly make their way back to each other, yet he keeps her at arms length behind the 'Bonnie wall, a place in his heart she can't touch, he has this part of himself shut-down… and Elena keeps Stefan in the dark about her special friend the man in black who's name she knows to be 'Elijah, and Elena wishes she could tell Stefan but would he understand and now she's to far in with Elijah to turn back.

Elena seems odd, Stefan notices but he believes its more to do with him not fully letting go of Bonnie and all the possibilities' that he once envisioned they had together, but it's all gone, it's over.

Witches council ...

"Its an abomination, it cannot be allowed to live."

A sliver haired fox agrees. " When it is over, erase her memories,"

"Is that really necessary?" A peevish witch questions.

"A witch falling in love with a vampire is bad enough, bringing a child in the world will not be permitted, now we must move fast before others get ideas."

But life is good, to bad it couldn't last.

72 hours earlier….and seven months later.

He held her before the darkness surrounded him, Her brownish black hair curly like silk in his hands, bronze skin, big bright eyes like his, he never thought his heart could actually know the rhythm of beating again; but it did as he held her, she was perfect; this overwhelming joy brought him to his knees as he cradled her. And while he lay there… this blackness seeped all around him. But there in his unconscious all that filled his mind; all that lay behind his eyes, was remembering her, his daughter…..

The babies are born…. What happened will stay with them forever. and after all hell breaks loose.

"Where is my daughter?" the crack in his voice is more profound than its ever been capable of. "Where is my daughter?" He cried has he wept on his knees.

Caroline holds an conscious Bonnie who was stuck between this world and the next after what she went through to deliver these babies.

As one brother was settled with a laden silence over the loss of his daughter, the other brother was unexpectedly fortunate as he looked onto his baby boy….
