Author's Note: I'm officially on summer break! That being said, you guys can expect more frequent updates. (: I know I left you guys off with a huge cliffy, so this chapter should answer some of those questions that you guys have been waiting for.

Bonnie stared between the three of them as Eliza's cries continued to pick up. She locked eyes with Enzo, wincing from the hard glare that was etched on his face; he looked livid.

"Caroline was right," he whispered hastily. Bonnie narrowed her eyes confusedly as she allowed his words to sink in.

"Enzo, I can expl—

Enzo roughly brushed past her as he stormed into the house. Bonnie was completely caught off guard as she quickly caught her balance.

"Where is he? Where the hell is he?" Enzo hollered as he went from room to room in a hurried manner.

"Where is who?" Bonnie let out breathlessly as she quickly moved to trail after him. Tawny and Damon remained planted firmly in their spots as they confusedly watched the scene play out in front of them.

"The guy you cheated on me with. The guy you ran away with," he spat angrily as he continued to roam heatedly throughout the house.

"There's no one else, Enzo! I swear," she shouted, appalled to hear those words come out of his mouth.

"Do you think I'm stupid, Bonnie? Who's the father of that hollering child?" he yelled back as he came in contact with the doorway of the nursery.

"You are!" she cried, silencing the entire house. Enzo stood there with his jaw agape as he slowly processed her words.

"What?" he whispered.

"What?" Damon repeated, just as shocked as Enzo.

"Duh," Tawny threw in.

"That isn't possible," Enzo whispered slowly as he looked up, locking eyes with the infant in the crib. She had her thumb in her mouth as she stared at Enzo in awe.

"When Bonnie arrived here a year ago, she was very much pregnant, and very much alone," Tawny confirmed, crossing her arms across her chest.

"This c-can't be… possible…" he choked out as he refused to look away from the child. There was something about her appearance that told him she wasn't completely human—there was definitely something mystical in her blood. She was simply radiant.

"She's yours, Enzo. I know this may be hard to believe, because it was hard for me to believe myself—that we could have a child. But she's your baby. I would never cheat on you," Bonnie told him as rampant tears streamed down her cheeks. Her hands were shaking as she watched him closely; her life had taken a complete turn in so little time, and she was barely able to keep up with it all.

"Maybe I should give you guys some time alone," Tawny spoke after a while of awkward silence.

"That would probably be best," Enzo retorted. She threw him a cold glare before exiting the porch. She disappeared off in the distance as Damon finally stepped into the house.

"Nice place you got here," Damon said quietly. Bonnie looked in his direction for the first time that day; she couldn't deny the shiver that went down her spine as she exchanged a long stare with him. She could feel the longing in his eyes, and she knew that it was evident in hers as well. She willed herself to look away, keeping her eyes on the floor.

"Bonnie… why would you keep this from me? Why would you run away?" Enzo finally spoke as his eyes remained on Eliza.

"I had my reasons… I know you may not understand now, but I can explain them," she breathed.

"I'm listening," he responded harshly. She gulped as she looked over at Damon, noticing how intently he was listening.

"When I first realized that I was pregnant, I couldn't believe it. I had so many mixed emotions—joy, because I was going to be a mother. Confusion—because in some twisted way, a vampire impregnated me. And finally, fear… because if I remember correctly, growing up in the supernatural as a witch hadn't really benefited me well. I knew that if my child was bound to relive the life that I had lived, I couldn't keep her there. I wouldn't wish this lifestyle on my worst enemy. The thought of my child enduring the same obligations that I had sickened me… and I know you guys might feel that I was selfish for running away, but I just wanted to protect her," she confessed, sniffing slightly afterward.

Enzo forced himself to look away from the baby as he looked toward Bonnie with horror.

"Is that truly what you thought?" Enzo scoffed. Bonnie began to cry harder as she looked away from him.

"I had no other choice but to think that way," she whispered.

"Bonnie… if I had known that I had a daughter, I would take the same measures as you to ensure her safety. She wouldn't dare have to go through anything that you were imagining. You had no right to keep her a secret from me," he told her painfully.

"Do you have any idea what hell you put us through?" Damon chimed in. She looked up to meet his sorrowful gaze, and she suddenly wished she hadn't. He had unshed tears in his eyes as he shook his head slowly.

"I'm sorry," she cried, looking away from the both of them.

Enzo sighed heavily as he slowly made his way into the nursery. A wide smile broke out on Eliza's face as she eyed the handsome stranger. Enzo couldn't help but to smile a bit.

"What's her name?" he whispered.

"Eliza," she let out as a mild smile graced her face.

"How old?" he wondered.

"Three months," she responded. He was completely mesmerized as he stood above her crib.

"And… you're sure this is my child?" he asked hesitantly. "And not a human's?"

"The last human I had sex with was Jeremy, and that was years ago," she told him. She exchanged a brief glance with Damon as the two of them silently recalled their encounter with each other during her and Enzo's breakup. She refused to even consider the thought of Damon being a possibility as she looked back over at Enzo. "So yes, I'm completely sure."

"I just don't understand how any of this is possible," he spoke as he slowly lifted the child from the crib.

"We can get this researched once we return to Mystic Falls," Damon said as he immediately began gathering Bonnie's things.

"What?" she gasped.

"We're taking you home," Enzo stated as he held Eliza close to him. He simply couldn't believe that he was a father.

"I'm not going back to Mystic Falls!" she shouted.

"The hell you aren't!" Damon retorted.

"Did you guys even listen to what I said?" she cried as her tears returned.

"Bonnie, I already told you that I'm not going to let anything happen to her. She belongs at her real home. You belong at your real home," Enzo sighed. Bonnie slowly let those words sink in as she toyed with her fingers.

She didn't want to believe that everything she had done was for nothing, because at the time, it made complete sense to her. She was shocked at how understanding they turned out to be, and she couldn't deny that she felt incredibly foolish at the moment.

"I truly am sorry for leaving like that. I just felt that I was doing what was right for her," she said after a minute. Enzo sighed heavily and walked up to her, wrapping her into a warm embrace.

"I'm just glad we found you. That was the longest year of my life," he sighed. He smoothed his hands down her back as she cried silently on his shoulder. Truthfully, she was glad that they found her as well. She was beginning to grow rather lonely on that Island.

After a few minutes, he pulled away from her. Eliza was smiling happily as she patted Enzo's cheeks with her tiny hands. Bonnie watched them with warm eyes, regretting the fact that she hadn't been able to witness that sooner.

"Do you think everyone will forgive me?" Bonnie whispered.

"Absolutely," Enzo responded. "They'll be glad to see you home."

Enzo pressed his lips against hers briefly, smiling into the kiss. He pulled away and ran his fingertips along her cheek.

"I'll start getting my things together," she told him, smiling sadly. She brushed past him and headed for her bedroom. She looked down at her hands, noticing that they were still slightly shaking.

She entered her room and switched on the light, wondering where she was going to start with her packing; she wasn't expecting to be making such an abrupt exit. She could hear Enzo playing with Eliza out in the living room, and it brought happy tears to her eyes.

As she opened her drawer, she could hear footsteps coming toward her room. She figured that it was Enzo, but she was shocked to see otherwise.

"Hey, Bonnie," Damon whispered as he stood in the doorway with his hands in his pockets. Bonnie swallowed thickly as she began pulling clothes out of her drawer.

"Hi, Damon," she responded quietly. He sighed heavily as he slowly entered the room.

"I just wanted to apologize for the last thing that I said to you," he told her. She looked to him with alarm, noticing the immense pain in his eyes. She quickly headed for the doorway, checking to make sure that Enzo wasn't in hearing distance. When she noticed that the coast was clear, she turned back to him.

"Let's not do this right now," she whispered harshly.

"Bonnie, I have to," he pleaded. She stared at him with disbelief as he came closer to her. "Do you know how many nights I spent drinking myself into a coma, hoping and praying that I could take back everything I said? I never thought I'd have the chance to apologize to you. It tore me up inside knowing that I hurt you."

"D-Damon… I—

"Just… please… forgive me," he whispered as he stopped directly in front of her. Her breath hitched as she stared into his eyes, contemplating what he was about to do.

"I'll forgive you if you forgive me," she whispered back to him. He furrowed his brows at her response.

"Forgive you for what?" he wondered. As she opened her mouth to speak, she was silenced by Enzo's entrance. He stared between the two of them as he bounced Eliza on his hip.

"I thought you guys would want some help," he told them. Bonnie nodded quickly as she wiped the single tear from her cheek.

"When are we leaving?" she wondered as she reclaimed her spot at her drawer.

"Tomorrow morning," he announced. "We purchased an extra plane ticket back to Mystic Falls."

"Luckily I didn't bring too many things here with me," she stated, thankful for the minimal objects that lay around the room. Enzo looked over at Damon, noticing the unsettling look on his face.

"Everything alright there, Damon?" Enzo asked, bringing the attention in the room to him. Damon locked eyes with Bonnie, looking away quickly.

"I'm just fine," he spat. "I think I just need some air."

He exited the room swiftly, slamming the front door after him. Enzo shook him off as he moved to stand beside Bonnie.

"I'm so happy to see your beautiful face again," he whispered huskily. She smiled sincerely as she rested her head against his chest.

"I love you," she breathed as her eyes fell closed.

"I love you, more," he whispered back, pulling her close to him. As her mind roamed chaotically, she hoped that those words didn't happen to actually be true.
