A/N: I'm baaaaack! Sooo sorry it took me so long to update. I was stuck for months about deciding different directions I wanted to take this. After seeing the first two incredible episodes of s8, I finally decided a direction. Fair warning, there will be things and scenes spoiled from those episodes in here, but this is my own take of them. Also honestly, I'm not sure about this chapter, it's kind of all over the place, but I wanted to post this before the new episode. Anyways, again thank you so much for all the love and support. You guys rock! Enjoy :D

Chapter 3: I'll Find My Way Back To You

Cause even underneath the waves

I'll be holding on to you

And even if you slip away

I'll be there to fall into the dark

To chase your heart

No distance could ever tear us apart

There's nothing that I wouldn't do

I'll find my way back to you

"Find My Way Back" by Eric Arjes

Seven weeks missing

Dear Elena,

Well it's been three weeks since my visit with Francine and we are still nowhere near closer of finding Enzo and Damon. The only things we have going are missing persons reports that have started to pop up and my nightmares that I have every single night. Yep, definitely not reassuring. In other news, today I find out if I'm having a boy or a girl. It should be good news, but it is yet another reminder that Enzo is not here with me. He should be here, going to all of these doctor's appointments and seeing our miracle baby with me, planning lists of names and going baby shopping. He shouldn't be controlled by whatever that has him and probably killing all of these people. He should be here. What's the point of having a miracle baby if he isn't here with me to enjoy it? Ugh, I'm sorry all of these entries have been so depressing. Blame it on the pregnant hormones. Whatever. I'm trying to not stress as much for the baby, it's just really hard right now. Caroline has been a great help though. Since she moved the girls back to Mystic Falls a few weeks ago, she's been very Caroline-y and making sure I'm doing everything her books tell her. So I'm trying. Let's hope today brings me some peace and hope amidst this chaos.

Until next time,

Love, Bonnie

BEBEBEBE

Bonnie tried to calm her thoughts as she was once again sitting in the exam room, waiting for the doctor to come. Caroline, who was sitting next to her and holding her hand, was complaining about all the failed attempts of finding a new nanny for the girls. Stefan, who was standing next to Caroline with a hand on her shoulder, would make a snarky comment or two that would make Bonnie almost laugh. Almost that is since her mind was elsewhere. She couldn't believe that she was back in this doctor's office and yet was still stuck at square one as to where to find Enzo. He should be here, holding her hand nervously as they waited for the doctor in anticipation. Bonnie knew her Enzo and knew that once he was told that he was going to be a father he would fall in love with that baby in a second. And now he was ripped away from this chance to experience these rare moments with her.

Once the doctor finally came, the visit seemed like a blur as Bonnie answered all of the questions she had for her. Then she saw the baby again. Her heart stopped for a moment. Her baby had grew and looked more like an actual beautiful baby.

"Would you like to know if it's a boy or girl?" The doctor asked.

Bonnie's mouth dried. She didn't have to know now if she didn't want to. Maybe, just maybe, if she waited a little longer her and Enzo could find out together. Do you really think that would happen? A small voice in her head asked. It was right, the chances of that happening were very slim. Yes, Bonnie should have hope, but honestly? She wasn't sure if she was equipped to having hope for Enzo and Damon coming back and for Enzo to find out the sex of the baby with her.

So Bonnie finally sighed and said, "Yes. I would."

The doctor smile, "Congratulations Miss Bennett, you are having a baby girl."

Tears of both joy and sadness came flooding down like a waterfall. It was in that moment that Bonnie had decided something. She wasn't sure if she'd ever get Enzo, her Enzo, back. Of course she'd never stop trying to find him, but Bonnie now had another important person in her life that took as much precedence in her life as Enzo did. It was in that moment that she vowed to not get lost into the loneliness of being without Enzo. She would protect this little girl with everything she had, which meant not going down in too many pits of despair that could harm her little girl.

Her little girl.

Her and Enzo were going to have a little girl and Bonnie was damn sure she would never stop trying to find her little girl's father so they could be a family.

3 months missing

Dear Elena,

It's my turn this week to tell you that yep, you guessed it, we still have no idea where Enzo and Damon are. However, as I write this, I'm driving with Stefan to chase down a lead. Apparently a body of one of the missing people we've been tracking surfaced. Stefan is hopeful, but me? Honestly, I can't handle having hope anymore. Hope hurts and if I hurt so does my little girl. I promised myself I would keep her safe, even from me. So I'm not going to hope but I will not give up. I owe Enzo and our little girl that. And who knows, maybe this will be the day I'll see Enzo again. Anyways, I'll update you with the details later.

Love, Bonnie

BEBEBEBE

Dear Elena,

Looks like I was right. I did see Enzo today, only he didn't see me. I called his name but he wouldn't look at me. I got to tell you, that hurt me. But I know Enzo. He was doing that on purpose. I like to think that he was doing it to keep me safe. Especially since he sent me clues to figure out what has him and Damon. Yep, I finally figured it out. Enzo sent me clues referring to the Odyssey, one of books he had read to me when we were together. If I'm right, I think they're in control by a siren. That's all we got so far, but we finally have a huge lead. I'm finally letting myself have hope that we will get Enzo and Damon back. My baby girl is going to have her dad back. Mark my words.

Love, Bonnie

BEBEBEBE

"Enzo."

Came her beautiful voice that, even after a few months, Enzo still remembered perfectly. It was the one voice that he actually welcomed while the other would force its way into his mind. It was the one voice that kept him going even when he felt hopeless of getting out of this mind control. But that's all it was: just a voice. Because if he allowed his mind to wander to her beautiful face then she would see and Enzo would be damned if Sybil found his beloved. After going in his head when Sybil first attacked him, she saw that he knew Bonnie Bennett but he fought her before she could find out just how much Bonnie meant to him. Apparently Bonnie was important to her, so Enzo fought hard not to think about his beloved to keep her safe. But her voice, her sweet and melodic voice was the only think he could allow himself to think about her. It was the only think that kept him sane while doing Sybil's dirty work.

And now he was hearing her voice face to face and all he wanted to do was to rush over to her and kiss her with every fiber of his being. But no, he had to be strong and not look at her. Because if he did then he wasn't sure if he had the strength in him to keep Sybil from seeing just how much Bonnie Bennett meant to him. And so Enzo ignored her, even though it ached at him.

"Enzo."

He didn't say anything, just walked away. Stefan eventually got them out and Enzo let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. He was glad they got his clues but it was still hard having them there, especially Bonnie being so close to Sybil.

A few days later, Enzo and Damon finally became face to face with the newly formed Sybil. He was just glad Bonnie and Stefan didn't come that day, or else Sybil would've gotten her. He was especially glad since now that Sybil was to her full form she was hell-bent on finding Bonnie Bennett.

"What do you want with her?" Enzo asked, trying to sound calm.

Sybil, who was drying herself off after eating one of her prey in the pool, gave him a curious look, "Someone sounds worried. This Bonnie is someone special to you, isn't she? At least that's what I gathered since she was the first person that popped up in your mind when I first went in it. But since then I haven't been able to get into your mind again. You're trying to keep her from me."

Enzo didn't say anything.

She sighed, "Come here, let's have a little peek, shall we?"

Enzo tried to think of someone, anyone, that wasn't too connected to Bonnie. Sara Nelson was the first person that popped up.

"Who's Sara Nelson? She's connected to Bonnie isn't she?"

Enzo grimaced, not wanting to bring the last Salvatore into this. He had already messed with her life enough, but if it meant keeping Bonnie safe he would, especially if it meant sending them another message.

Sybil studied him, "Hmmm. Well even if she isn't, she means something to you so either way I'm going to have you and Damon kill her to teach you that you're mine now."

BEBEBEBE

Enzo was hallucinating. He had to be. It was just another one of Sybil's mind-tricks. Enzo couldn't really be seeing Bonnie Bennett, his Bonnie, pregnant. He blinked at her as she entered Sara's living room.

"Nice to see you too."

"Hello Love." Was what all Enzo could say as he tried to process this information, "Has it really been that long?" He said mostly to himself. He could've sworn he had only been away from Bonnie for a few months. There was no way she could have moved on from him and become pregnant that fast, right?

Caroline chimed in, "Stefan, why don't you help Sara pack in her room while I go check up on Ric so we can give these two lovebirds some privacy."

Stefan nodded, "Sounds good."

After everyone left Bonnie said, "Relax, the baby's yours."

Enzo's entire body froze. This must be a trick. There was no way this was real. Then again, vampire Caroline Forbes did have twin magic siphoners, so he guess anything could be possible. But this was way too good to be true.

"How?"

"The pills."

His eyes widened.

Bonnie let out a humorless laugh, "Yep, apparently the things that were killing me also became the reason you and I can have a baby."

"This isn't real." He said, looking away.

Bonnie walked to him, "It is." She then reached to touch his cheek but he moved away.

"No! I can't…. Bonnie you… and our child are in danger. She is looking for you."

"What? Why?"

"I don't know. I've tried to figure it out but she's already onto me about my feelings for you. If I show her just how much you mean to me, then she can use that and change it in my mind. I could be a danger to you. And I can't-I will not be a danger to you and our baby."

Their baby. He couldn't believe it.

"You won't. You're safe now."

"I'm not. She will come looking for us."

Bonnie then placed her hand on his arm. This time he didn't flinch away. She looked him straight into his eyes and said, "Then let her. We'll stop her like we've stopped everyone else."

He shook his head, "This is different, Love."

She shrugged, "I've heard that before." She then placed her cool hand within his and gave it a tight squeeze. "I don't know how but we will stop her and then we'll have be a family like we've always dreamt."

He let out a wistful sigh, "If only things were that simple."

Bonnie caressed his hand, "You never know. But for now let's focus on getting Sara safe."

The door to Sara's room then suddenly opened before Sara rushed into the room, Stefan following after her.

Stefan turned to Bonnie, "Everything alright?"

She nodded, "It will be, once this is all over."

"Well, I'll take Sara while you, Caroline, and Enzo stay here to keep Damon from getting to us."

"No." Sara said, shaking her head. "I only trust Enzo. You and Caroline stay here and Enzo and his baby mama will take me." She then turned to Bonnie. "I'm sorry, what was your name again?"

"Bonnie."

Before Sara could reply Stefan interrupted, "Sara, I don't think that's a good idea."

"Well I don't think you dating the woman who tried to kill me is a good idea either but we just have to compromise."

Enzo shook his head, "I can't come with you."

"Why not?" Bonnie asked voice filled with worry.

"Sybil has a hold of me. She won't let me leave her for too long."

"We can fight it. Together." Bonnie said, squeezing his hand once more.

He sighed, "As you said, let's just focus on getting Sara safe."

"Enzo's right. We really need to go." Stefan interjected.

They both turned their attention to Stefan then slowly nodded but proceeding to follow the Salvatore out the door. They met Caroline and headed out to the parking garage.

As they walked Enzo tried his hardest not to think about the love of his life who walking next to him or their miracle baby. Unfortunately, even after three months of training his mind from thinking about just how important Bonnie Bennett was to him, finding out she was having his miracle baby squandered all the walls he had built. But no, he had to make sure Sybil wouldn't find Bonnie, especially now that they were going to have a child.

A child.

No, he couldn't think about that. He needed to protect his family.

As they reached the car, he suddenly froze. He could feel her coming.

Bonnie placed her hand on his shoulder, "What's wrong?"

"She's coming. You guys have to go. Now."

"Too late."

His skin began to crawl as the back of his hair stood.

Shit.

Enzo slowly turned to see Sybil standing next Damon who was holding Sara.

"Well, well." Sybil began to say, walking toward them. "Looks like my assumptions were right. I finally have Bonnie Bennett in the flesh."

Enzo took a step in front of Bonnie.

The siren tsked, "Now Enzo is that how you treat your master?"

Suddenly he could feel her in his head. Enzo felt his body wanting to move but he tried to fight the urge.

"Leave him alone!" Bonnie yelled. She started to move toward Sybil but Enzo continued to block her.

"Stefan, take Bonnie and Sara. Now."

"I'm not leaving. Not without you." Bonnie objected. She then pushed him away before standing in front of him.

"You're right about one thing." Sybil said walking to her. "You're not going to leave."

Before Enzo could stop her, Sybil placed her hands on Bonnie's forehead.

"No!" Enzo cried rushing to take Sybil off but was then pushed away from an invisible force. He landed on the ground. Before he could get up he noticed something different.

Sybil was kneeling on the ground, hands pressed against her head as she cried out in agony. Bonnie was standing in front her.

Enzo then rushed to her.

"You have your magic back?" Stefan asked after knocking Damon out, who was also kneeling in pain.

"Apparently." Bonnie said in awe. She then squinted her eyes and suddenly Sybil was also knocked out on the ground. Bonnie then began to fall. Enzo caught her.

"Woah. Careful, Love."

"We should go." Caroline said, helping Sara up from the ground.

"Caroline's right. You need to go." Enzo said, making Bonnie turn to face him.

"Not without you."

"I'm still bonded with Sybil. I'll just put you in more danger."

"I have my magic back. I can help you fight her. Please." Her voice broke as tears began to form in her eyes.

Enzo put his hands on her cheeks, "Okay. I will come with you, Love. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else."

She gave him a small smile, "Good. Let's go home."

BEBEBE

Sara ended up driving her own car with Enzo and Bonnie. They were following Stefan and Caroline who had an unconscious Damon in the backseat of their car. Enzo and Bonnie sat in the backseat and Bonnie rested her head on his shoulder. He couldn't believe it, he was actually driving with the love of his life who was having his miracle baby.

As they drove, it finally started to settle in that Enzo St. John was going to be a father. It both thrilled and scared him. One thing he knew for sure was that he was going to find a way to stop Sybil and keep her from taking him away from his family again.

"How far along are you?" He asked, caressing arm.

"26 weeks. Which is just about six months is pregnancy terms."

"Wow." He paused then said, "I'm so sorry I missed so much."

Bonnie turned her head to look at him, "Well I'm glad you missed some things like the morning sickness face."

"Do you know what we're having."

She gave him a bright smile, "A girl."

His heart clenched. Enzo St. John was going to have a baby girl with the love of his life.

Enzo shook his head, "I should've been there."

She cupped his cheek with her hand, "Hey," she said softly, "you weren't in control. But now you're here and I will find a way to break Sybil's hold on you. I promise."

Enzo leaned down and gave her soft yet passionate kiss to which she returned happily. After a few moments they parted.

"I love you so much, Bonnie Bennett."

"I love you too, Enzo St. John."

Bonnie then rested her head back on his shoulder and soon after fell asleep.

"So..." Sara began to say after about an hour of driving. "Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought vampires couldn't have babies."

"They can't."

"But you and Bonnie are going to have one?"

"Yep."

"Huh." She was silent for a moment before saying, "You never pegged you for the romantic time."

He gave her a small smile, "How do you mean?"

"I don't know, just by the way you look at her like she's the sun."

"She is. She's my sun."

Sara laughed, "You two are so sweet you give me a tooth ache."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

She was silent for a moment before asking, "So this Sybil woman, how are we going to stop her?"

"I don't know but one thing I know for sure is that she's not ripping me away from my family again."
