Chapter 2: We could've had it all
"Damon where have you been, I was worried sick!" Bonnie said as she sat up in Damon's queen sized bed. "Bonnie what are you doing here?" Damon asked in confusion before he strutted over to her, she was wearing one of his shirts with nothing on… just how he liked her. "I got bored at my house, so where were you?" Damon sat down besides Bonnie and sighed… he was brooding like Stefan… that wasn't a good sign. "I was… talking to Elena." Bonnie frowned and moved closer.
"Is she o.k.? It must be tough for her." Klaus was defeated, sealed away into another dimension and they finally had peace, at least she thought so. Apparently Elena called it off 'for good' with Stefan and had taken to locking herself up in her house. Bonnie waited patiently for Damon to tell her something, Bonnie wondered if Elena was in worse a condition then she thought.
"Bonnie… we need to talk." Bonnie frowned as she looked at the pain in his eyes and instantly her mind imagined all the horrible things that happened to Elena. "Oh god no it's Elena isn't it? She needs me doesn't she!" Bonnie jumped up and pulled her jeans on ready to run to Elena's house if she needed too. "Bonnie wait… you need to hear this first…"

"We're here!" Bonnie gasped as she was pulled out of her thoughts, she blinked rapidly to remove the painful memories from her head, 5 seconds back and the memories were already coming back. Peachy. "This place hasn't changed at all!" Bonnie was amazed at how nothing changed, the buildings were still the same and the people she knew from six years ago were still here, and apparently they recognized her too. "Mom everyone is staring at us…" Daniel said as he shied away from the window. "It's because I just suddenly appeared just as fast as I left."
Bonnie was almost, almost, glad they were now driving up the drive way to the boarding house. "Wow our dad is rich!" Danielle said as she looked at the house. "This isn't a house it's a manor or something!" Bonnie ignored her, instead she looked at the gas meter. She had just enough to make it back- Momwe'realreadyhere. At the sound of Daniel's voice Bonnie huffed and unlocked the doors.
The kids jumped out of the car and Bonnie reached over to grab her bags, Bonnie was nervous and knew that the first week or so in this house screamed AWKWARD! "Dani I thought I told you to pack light." Danielle had two rolling suitcases, a duffle bag and a overnight back stuffed to the brim. "This is packing light, I had to put back three suitcases worth of stuff!" Bonnie sighed and turned to Caroline. "I think I laid down with you instead and made Danielle."
"What!" Bonnie laughed at the horrified look on Caroline's face. "I'm only saying that she acts just like you when it comes to fashion." Caroline immediately relaxed and grinned. "Well that only means she's wise beyond her years. Come little one, you have much to learn." Caroline opened the door and everyone followed, as soon as she stepped into the house Bonnie felt awkward, there was once a time when Bonnie felt as if this was her home away from home. Now she feel's more awkward then when she enters a strangers house for the first time.
"Bonnie hi." Bonnie was saddened when she wasn't even remotely shocked to find out that Elena was a vampire now. "Hello Elena." Great this sounded worse then a business meeting, they were acting all professional with each other. "This is Daniel and Danielle." Elena looked back and forth between the twins and Bonnie. You couldn't deny that they both looked like Bonnie, Daniel more so then Danielle, but looking at Danielle was like looking at a mini bronzed version of Damon.
Bonnie was ready to turn around and leave, if only to get away from the awkwardness! That's when she heard a voice, his voice. "Bonnie." Bonnie tensed and turned to her right, he was standing by mini bar staring at her. "Well I gotta go do some… things." Caroline said and Bonnie turned to her. "I'll help you." Stefan said in a too eagerly voice.
Bonnie watched horrified as they both used vampire speed too get away from the awkward situation, leaving her with the two people she never wanted too see again in her life. "Mom I'm thirsty." She looked down at Daniel who was prodding his gums, Bonnie knew she should have given him more blood at the house. "Ummm do you guys have any blood bags?" Elena looked shocked for a second before she disappeared for a few seconds. "Here you go."
Bonnie smiled politely and handed the bag to Daniel he drunk it quickly. "Mommy…" Bonnie looked at Danielle and sighed. "One more please?" Elena nodded and disappeared again. It was a given that if one was drinking blood then the other would instantly get hungry too, Bonnie decided it was a 'twin thing'. Once again the awkward silence was back as Elena and Damon watched the twins.
"I'll show you guys to your rooms." Elena said when they were done; Danielle eagerly picked her bags up wanting to see her new room while Daniel just nodded. Bonnie could tell Damon and Elena wanted to talk, but they didn't want to talk in front of the children. That's why Bonnie just threw her bag down on the bed and walked back down the steps.
"In the kitchen." Bonnie said as she walked passed them, she turned on the water and the blinder, and anything else in the kitchen that could make noise, those kids had damn good hearing. Bonnie raised her eyebrow when only Damon sat down in front of her. "Where you ever going to tell me?" He said as soon as he sat down, he sounded… angry. "No." Bonnie replied bluntly.
Apparently that wasn't the answer Damon was looking for, his body tensed and he glared at her. "So if I didn't find out from Klaus of all people I wouldn't have known?" Now he sounded pissed. "The twins would have sought you out... maybe." Now he was beyond pissed. "Look Bonnie I get that your mad-" "It wasn't because I was mad." Damon sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "Then why, why did you keep me from mychildren?"
Bonnie looked at him, really looked at him. He looked like Stefan, tired. But did he really have to ask her that question? "I didn't think you'd want to know them." He did that weird then when his eyes widened, that meant he was angry but after six years she still found that to be a turn on. "How would you have known? Did you ask me?" Now it was Bonnie's turn to get mad. "Look Damon if I had known you would have been there then I would have went back, but you choose Elena over me, I thought you'd be angry that I showed up months later pregnant! And besides I thought if you chose Elena over me then you'd do the same with the twins, and I couldn't handle that!"
Damon paused, finally seeing where Bonnie was coming from. When he came back from Elena's that night he hurt her, he hurt her so badly that she left only a week later crying. Damon admits he probably would have denied it, seriously what were the odds of a vampire getting a girl pregnant? None, there weren't even any odds. "Besides… I didn't even know if the babies were yours."
A pause. "You were cheating on me?" Damon didn't know why it pissed him off, but the thought of someone being with his little fire pixie while they were together pissed him off big time. "No, I thought maybe I had one too many drinks and slept with a guy but didn't remember, hell I was considering a freaking virgin birth or something."
Damon scoffed. "Seriously Bonnie? A virgin birth?" Though even he had to admit, that sounded more likely to be true then a vampire making a baby let alone twins. "But then I saw Danielle and I just knew you were the father, but I decided then that I wouldn't go to you, I couldn't." Bonnie could slowly feel some of the tension ease away, Bonnie guessed he thought she kept him away from the children as away to get back at him.
"So Klaus is back?" Damon sighed and nodded. "He just appeared on our steps, literally. He knocked on our door, kicked our asses, almost killed us and then told us almost every little thing you did since you left... including your depression." Bonnie tensed at that word; they weren't supposed to know about that… ever. "So what was he stalking me or something?" Damon narrowed his eyes at Bonnie. "You're trying to changing the subject." Damon smirked and Bonnie raised her eyebrow "I'm not changing the subject, you just told me Klaus was basically stalking me, you're trying to change the subject."
"Mommy are you making us dinner?" Danielle asked as she skipped into the room and both parents tensed as she hopped up on a stool next too Bonnie staring at her with intense ice blue eyes. "I made you breakfast." Bonnie hoped they didn't hear anything as she looked at Danielle. "You always make us breakfast and dinner!" Bonnie smirked at her. "Yea but your using your 'mommy are you gonna slave over a hot stove to make us our favorite dinner' voice."
After a few seconds Danielle whined. "I told you she wouldn't do it Daniel!" No sooner then she said that did Daniel come out from behind the door pouting. "Ugh! Were you two plotting behind my back!" Bonnie said in mock shock. "Yes, but can you at least make us mashed potato's!" Bonnie frowned and looked around the kitchen. "Well I'm sure they have a box of instant potato's here…" The look of horror on the twins face was priceless. "Mom!" The both shouted in shock. "You-you can't be serious, those things aren't even potato's!" Daniel said as he backed away horrified.
"I agree it's just some type of white powder, you've gotta be joking!" Damon watched the scene in amusement as Bonnie began to laugh. The last time he saw her this playful was when she was still a naïve little teenager who didn't know about vampires and witches. "I'm just joking with you guys, jeez you two fall for that everytime!" Bonnie grinned as they glared at her. "So not funny mommy!" Bonnie laughed again and shooed them out. "When are we going shopping?" Bonnie sighed, not really looking forward to the shopping trip. "Tomorrow I guess…"
Danielle cheered while Daniel groaned. "Trust me, it's better to get this over with sooner then later." Daniel nodded then sighed again. "Is it that bad?" Damon asked. "She spends hours in one store alone." Daniel groaned imagining it already. "If we have to take her shopping then I want to go to the game store." Bonnie mocked groaned. "But you spend hours in just that one store alone."
He stuck his tongue out and zoomed off somewhere but a few seconds later he came back. "Hey…uh… do you want to come with us?" Daniel asked nervously as he stared at Damon like he would bite him. "If that's o.k. with Bonnie." Damon asked and both boys looked at her, Bonnie shrugged. "Sure why not, we're gonna need help caring Danielle's 50 bags." Just like that Daniel was gone and Bonnie got up. "We'll talk later." Damon said and Bonnie glared at him as he walked out of the kitchen knowing full well what they would 'talk' about.
X.X..X.X.X.X
"Bonnie can we talk?" Bonnie had been in the middle of packing, not even a half hour after her talk with Damon. "Sure Elena, come in." Elena walked in and sat down at the edge of her bed, fidgeting with her cloths. Once a upon a time Elena would have just walked in, said 'hey' and flopped down on her bed and start munching on Bonnie's bag of cool ranch Doritos. "So how have you been?"
"Good, you?" Elena replied with a 'fine' and que awkward silence. "Bonnie… I know that this doesn't even mater but I'm sorry." Bonnie stopped putting her cloths away and looked at Elena, her brown doe were hoping and pleading with Bonnie to forgive her. That look got Elena everything she wanted, Bonnie briefly wondered if it worked on Damon that night.
"…Thanks." For good measure Bonnie gave her a barely half hearted smile and went back too unpacking, Bonnie knew that Elena sat there frozen in shock. Bonnie frowned and hoped that Elena didn't really think that she would forgive her, when she thinks about that night she doesn't feel pure anger and hatred, now she's disappointed in Elena, saddened and hurt about what happened. But Bonnie was sure if she looked deep enough the anger would still be there, she just found a way to live without it ruling her life.
"Oh Bonnie I truly am sorry, I didn't know it would turn out like this-" Elena was teary eyed and trying hard not to cry, Bonnie could tell that Elena felt ashamed of her self and that if she could she would go back in time to reverse the whole thing, but only for all the wrong reasons. "Yes you did Elena, you knew it would hurt me in the process but you didn't care, you thought that I would forgive you like I always do. The only reason you're sorry now is because you heard I was pregnant and how much of a hard time I had. You realized how much I loved Damon and that we could've had it all. You realized what you destroyed and now it's killing you inside."
Elena didn't know what made that entire thing sting, was it the fact that she actually said all of that or was it because she had said it in a soft almost kind tone. She didn't yell at her or glare, instead she went back to unpacking and Elena left quietly. Now that she thinks about it, she truly did think that Bonnie would have forgiven her after all that they been through together. Bonnie was right about everything, the only time she felt truly sorry was when Klaus told them Bonnie had Damon's children and that she had been sad and depressed after they were born.
Before that Elena never truly felt sorry about it, not when Bonnie and eventually Stefan had left, not when three years into there relationship there 'honey moon' period ended and they fought all the time. She only feels sorry now because for the first time she realized how happy Bonnie had been with Damon, Bonnie gushed that she had never felt this way before and that she'd want to stay with Damon.
Damon had been just as happy, he actually smiled all the time and gushed yes he gushed about how happy Bonnie made him and how she didn't try to change him. That had made Elena jealous, she thought that, that could have been her and instead it was Bonnie. Now they were only together for the sake of not being alone, that and the fact that they were stubborn as hell and wanted to proven everyone who told them that this wouldn't last wrong.
But now Elena realized her mistake, in her act of pure selfishness Elena had lost the two people she cared the most about and was now stuck with someone she only loved as a friend, the same someone who regretted leaving her friend a little more each day. Elena made her way into Damon's room as he sat reading a book. "Need some ice for that burn?" A growl was heard next to him and he peeked at her. "Shut up Damon!"
Damon rolled his eyes as she snarled at him, while it was suppose to be a threat, he found it adorable coming from Elena. "Your wish is my command princess." That was one of the big differences about them, while Elena wanted everything to go her way, Bonnie was just fine wit things the way they are. Damon also noted that while Bonnie would be happy with just a pair of socks for a birthday gift, Elena wanted all her gifts to cost a pretty penny. "Stop it."
Elena growled breaking Damon out of his thoughts. "What now?" In one swift movement Elena had knocked his book on the floor and pinned him to the bed. "Stop comparing me to Bonnie!" Elena could always tell when ever he even thought about thinking about Bonnie, he supposed it had something to do with the fact that he sired her. A sire and the child always have special bonds with each other, which explained why Caroline no longer hated him, in fact they had what could be described as a 'brother/sister' relationship.
Before Damon could utter some smart ass remark Elena crushed her lips into his. They both knew that this was one of the main reasons they stayed together this long, the sex was great. Though Damon couldn't help but think that the sex with Bonnie was fantastic.
X.X..X.X.X.X
Three doors down Bonnie tried hard not to get angry, but Elena was making it very hard. "OH DAMON YES!" Breathing hard and grinding her teeth Bonnie put a silencing spell around their room and began to pace.
The only reason Elena was being that loud was because Bonnie was here, she was sure of it. Girls talk about these things, Elena was verbal yes but not a screamer, Bonnie could –if it was done right mind you- scream to the heavens. Bonnie sighed as she forced her anger to subside; she really wasn't planning on staying long maybe a month or two tops, but she could tell this was going to be a long week… or month.
