AN: Hello guys! :) Okay first of all THANK YOU for your reviews, alerts and favorites. They all mean so much to me and please always leave a review because I really appreciate them.

And I wanted to clarify another thing. Someone told me that there's another story with a similiar plot and that I pratically 'stole' the idea from it. Just..no. There are tons of fanfics about Damon and Elena, and founding some familiars plots is not a surprise. That said, I was curious though so I went searching for that fic that this person was talking about. But honestly, the only thing that I see something familiar with is Elena being a nanny. In this story Katherine doesn't appear and probably never will, and here it is Stefan's son not Damon's. Plus here Jamie has always been part of Stefan's life he didn't come out all of a sudden. Seriously you won't even care right now haha but honestly I just wanted to make it clear, if someone has read that other story :) I always try to get more original as I can and if this story came out so familiar with that one..my bad, then. But I really see no stealing so um please next time before pointing a finger think twice...

Sorry for all this rambling! I know it was annoying but I really had to say it XD Remember to review. Love you all 33

"I am Giuseppe Salvatore. And who are you?"

Shit. Suddenly Elena hoped that Damon was there for her. Meeting his father was not something she had planned on doing anytime soon. Especially when she had heard from Damon and even Stefan how a cold and manipulative man he was. And wasn't he supposed to be on a trip with Stefan?

"Oh, Mr. Salvatore..nice to meet you, I'm Elena Gilbert." Elena said politely, extending her hand even though a little embarassed.

Giuseppe though completely ignored her as he stepped into the house. Well hello, asshole. Elena thought.

"Can I get you something? A coffee, perhaps?" She asked, pulling Damon's sweater tighter to her body.

"No, thank you. Where is my son?" He faked a smile and sat on the couch.

Elena tentatively sat on the opposite one.

"He's bringing Jamie at school. I could always tell him that you stopped by, though." She offered.

He chuckled shaking his head. "No thanks Milena. I'd rather speak to him myself." He said as he looked around, tapping his foot as if he was in a hurry.

"It's Elena." She mumbled annoyed.

"So..you still haven't answered my question. Who are you?" He asked after a few minutes.

She was tempted to say 'Well I told you my name, and not only you didn't even introduce yourself properly asshole, but you even forgot it after a minute'. She so wanted to do it, the pissed Elena in her already wanted to ramble at this man. But she kept quiet and answered what he wanted to know.

"I'm Damon's girlfriend, oh and Jamie's nanny." She said.

He looked at her in disbelief for a few moments before laughing, he seemed really amused as he kept laughing shaking his head.

"Yes, sure..I can only imagine what do you mean with being Damon's girlfriend." He said still chuckling amused.

"What do you mean?" Elena asked serious, crossing her arms. Who did he think he was? As far as she knew he never really cared for Damon's life, so judging him was the last he could afford to do. He had no rights on this.

He eyed her again with that look. Almost as if he had pity of her.

"You know exactly what I mean, Milena."

"It's Elena." She said, this time firmly.

"Whatever." Giuseppe replied looking at her in the eyes with a look that said that he could care less what her name was.

"And no, I don't know what you mean. We haven't been together for a very long time but I've always known that Damon was a good and caring person. So please, Mr. Salvatore, explain yourself."

"Well, being Damon's 'girlfriend' doesn't conxist in screwing around and being a brainless nut?" He said giving her a pointed look, raising his eyebrows.

She could have sworn that she grew red at that comment. Again, who did he think he was? He was such an intolerable man and they had been in the same room for not even ten minutes. She could only imagine what Damon and Stefan had to go through. Before she could reply though, he spoke again.

"He's an incompetent. He's a disgrace for this family and its name. And I hate saying this, but he's dragging even his own brother into this. I can't let this happen, they're my only sons. I have plan for them, Elena." He said growing serious.

She felt confused at what his statement meant exactly. "Damon is not an incompetent, he just has to find out what he wants to do with his life without pressure. I think that he's always been pushed into doing the opposite, to be quite honest." She said, glancing at him with the same hardness in her eyes.

Giuseppe's expression hardened, as he suddenly rose up from the couch. His angry one eventually became a devilish smile. "And this coming from a nanny?"

"With all due respect Mr. Salvatore, you know nothing about me." She said harshly, instinctively standing up too.

She looked at him and she just saw a man full of resentment and hatred. When she looked at him, into his eyes, at his face..she saw nothing about Damon. He had Stefan's green eyes and their jaws were similiar, but of Damon there was nothing, and to be honest she was just glad about it.

He came closer to her, assuming an autoritary manner. "Well, and I don't intend to. I don't care. What I'm asking you to do, miss, is to back off. Damon might be a disappointment but he's still my son and I still have plans for his future. He's going to come back working with me and his brother at our Company, he will settle, and eventually find a woman worth his name. Not a…nanny," as he said that his eyes traveled over her body in a disgusted manner "of my son's bastard child." He concluded.

Elena actually gasped at those words. How could he? Jamie was his nephew, he was a wonderful kid, son of his own son. Defining him a bastard was the most hurtful thing he could say. Couldn't he understand that it was an insult to Stefan and their whole family? She just prayed that he never told Stefan or worse Jamie, directly.

Now she could start to understand Damon and his hate for his father. He despised him and she could see why. That man was a monster. And they had spent most of their lives with him.

"Once again, Miss Elena, I'm demanding you to back. off." He simply stated pointing his finger at her before heading out and slamming the door.

Elena was frozen there in utter shock. She wanted to reply and tell him that he was no one to demand her something like that, that she loved Damon. But he was already out of the door and his words still echoed in her mind.

She had expected him to be a cold person, but never this. What was she supposed to do now? Tell everything to Damon? Probably it would have made everything worse, he would have hated his father even more and probably a huge fight would have occurred. She sat there in silence as she thought about the possibilities. One thing she knew..this man wasn't worth Damon or Stefan's affection. He was supposed to be their father, not their master. Life could be so cruel sometimes. He was a man who treated his sons like dirt every second of his life. Her father, instead, who was a caring and loving father was taken away from her too soon. Life was a bitch.

Stefan would be back in five days, and as the realization started taking form Damon realized how much he would have missed Jamie. He had always loved his nephew, but in the last two months he realized how much he actually meant for him. How important he was in his life. He and Elena opened his eyes. He was no longer lost with himself, now he knew what mattered in life. It was family. The bond of a family. As Elena told him, running from his feelings would have only destroyed him eventually. She had been the first one seeing through him and his facade.

The challenge now was proving it to everyone else. He wanted to be a better man, the man for her. Stefan would probably kill him when he found out about him and Elena, of course he would think that he messed around with her but that wasn't the case. He loved her. And he would have been a fool if he ever let her go.

"Bye Uncle Damon. See you at four." Jamie said while heading out of the car, backpack on his shoulders.

Damon smiled at the sight. He was a mini Stefan.

He then wondered if Elena was still sleeping. When all this hell of waking up at seven in the morning would be over, he couldn't wait to wake up with her beside him, always if she let him, obviously. Falling asleep with Elena by his side the other night taught him that it wasn't all about sex and lust. The feelings were involved and they were important, too. He should have realized it way sooner. He would gladly wait all the time she needed if it meant having her in his bed. In any way. In that moment his phone vibrated and as he looked at the ID, he saw that it was his father. He rolled his eyes. And now what the hell could he want? It was more than two months that he didn't hear from him, two months that he didn't deign to call. In fact Damon was pretty sure that he needed something if he had called him. Especially this early. Not really in the mood, he rejected the call.

He pulled into the Boarding House driveway and got off the car. He opened the door quietly, fearing to wake Elena if she was still asleep.

He went into the living room just to find Elena sitting on the armchair reading a book.

"Goodmorning.." He said smiling, wrapping his arms around her neck and kissing her cheek.

She had been taken by surprise but smiled as he showered her face with kisses. It was so good to be able to do this. She was finally his.

"Goodmorning." She said returning his smile, that didn't quite reach her eyes though.

Damon eyed her suspiciously but decided to let go. He sat on the arm of the armchair.

"What are you reading?" He asked while petting her hair. The gesture seemed to have a soothing effect on her, even though she seemed still a little stiff.

"The Notebook." She said.

"Isn't it that chick-flick that all you girls love?" He asked rolling his eyes.

"Actually it's a beautiful love story. Not cheesy at all you know. It's just very popular so people tend to see it as a cliché." She said shrugging.

"Okay, whatever you say." He said chuckling and kissing the top of her head.

She leaned against him just for a second, but a few moments after she cleared her throat and got up. Damon gladly noticed that she was wearing one of his sweaters and smirked slightly. He grew confused again when he saw her wrapping her arms around herself and looking uncomfortable again. Was something wrong? Did he already screw up without even realizing it? Would have been it, Damon would have shooted himself. It was just not possible. He wasn't that bad, after all..

"Hey, is something wrong?" He asked softly.

"Um, no..why would it be?" She asked.

"I don't know, you're acting..weird?" He offered, making her see his confusion.

She seemed worried just for a moment. "Sorry if I'm giving you this impression..I guess I'm still a little tired. I don't even know why I got up so early." She said chuckling lightly, shaking her head.

Something was definitely wrong. She might not know it, but Damon knew her pretty well by now. He could see when she was hiding something or when she just wasn't herself. And now she was screaming anxiety to him.

Suddenly a realization took form. What if she had changed her mind? What if something happened or maybe she wasn't sure about them? He would lose it. He couldn't lose her. Not so soon, not ever.

"Did I do something wrong?" He then asked, almost in a whisper. Truthfully it was the first thing that came to his mind, and probably that was it.

Her eyes went wide for a second as she almost stared at him in shock. He knew that he was probably looking vulnerable and he hated when she saw that side of him so well. No one ever actually took out his vulnerable and fragile side, it only happened with his mother and now was happening with Elena.

She almost run to embrace him, taking him in her arms as he still sat on the armchair. He encircled her waist with his arms and kissed her shoulder.

"God no, Damon. You did nothing wrong don't you even think about it." She said softly as she kissed his hair.

How a little gesture from her could comfort him, wasn't even possible to describe. She calmed him down like nothing else.

He rested his head on her shoulder a little before looking at her in the eyes. "Then what is it, Elena? You know you can tell me everything. Please.." He offered gently.

She looked sad. She looked at him in the eyes with such a depth and he knew that it was something serious. He was growing always more anxious. Was she okay?

She sighed heavily, sitting on his lap. He then sat properly on the armchair and she snuggled up his side as his hands still encircled her waist. He gave her a soft smile and kiss on the lips to encorauge her. She was his baby girl, there was nothing that she couldn't tell him.

"I...your father came here before." She confessed, looking at him in the eyes. He grew stiff and his face unconsciously became harder.

"What did he say? Did he do something to you? Elena tell me." He said more urgently.

She shook her head lightly. "Don't worry, nothing serious happened. He just said some things.." She said looking away.

He gently took her chin to make her look at him in the eyes. "What? What things?"

His gaze was soft and comforting. Once again she had the prove that he was nothing like that man, and that Giuseppe should have been the one proud of having a son like Damon, not the other way around.

"He started saying stuff about you, things that I didn't like and that were not true so I stood up for you but he wouldn't listen. He started rambling about how you were just using me, that I was not worth of you and that I needed to back off. I swear Damon, I almost lost it. I can't stand that man.." She said almost furiously, biting her lip.

He was almost numb. Actually, he was raging. He was used to his father saying to him how worthless he was..it just didn't affect him anymore. But how he dare coming into his house and insulting his girlfriend? He didn't know the first thing about Elena, and yet his ignorance and prejudice always took the best of him making him appear for what he truly was. A man full of hatred and coldness.

He noticed that Elena's eyes were a little red and it only made him more furious. He wouldn't have let this go, Giuseppe wouldn't get away this time. He wrapped his arms tighter around Elena as hers did the same. She was the most precious thing in his life and he wouldn't let him father ruin even this.

"Don't you listen to him, love. He's bossy and arrogant..don't let this get you. You didn't believe him, did you?" He said as he softly cupped her head, tracing circles with his thumb on her cheek with his other hand.

She shook her head. "No of course not. I believe in you, Damon." She said firmly.

They looked at each other intensly before he pulled her in for a long passionate kiss. Their kiss was gentle and yet rough. Every so often he would hold her gaze and smile at her, silently telling her his love.

The kiss deepened and she was straddling on his lap in a matter of seconds. He let his mouth travel all over her neck, kissing and nibbling at it. He heard her moaning softly and he smirked.

"Damon.." She breathed.

She was making him painfully hard and he knew that they had to slow down, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold back. He pulled away and chuckled when she whined.

"I'm just following your rules, my dear." He teased, kissing her on the forehead.

She pouted a little and he mimicked her pout, receiving a kick on the shoulder for it. She grew serious again then.

"You know, there's even something else.." She said smiling sadly. "I don't think that your father likes Jamie. I know that it's none of my business but Stefan shouldn't let him take over his life like that..the way your father talks about you two, and now even Jamie...he's not worth you. All of you."

Damon seemed thoughtful for a moment. "It's your business too, Elena. Jamie adores you and so do I, so it's only fair for you to say what you think. And I agree with you. Actually it's a very long time that my father and I don't have a relationship anymore…I just hope that Stefan will come around too eventually. I know how much my brother loves Jamie, but his priority should be him, and not pleasing our father." He said.

"I know." Elena said serious while petting his soft raven hair.

"Anyway you don't have to worry about him. I'll talk to him as soon as possible and I won't let him bother you again." He reassured, pulling her closer.

"What do you think if I bring you at the Grill today, for lunch? How are you feeling?" He asked after a few minutes.

"Are you kidding? I think it's a great idea. I'm going crazy here." She said chuckling.

He chuckled too as he kissed her. They were in their own world once again.

They didn't talk about Giuseppe anymore after the talk, and Elena was glad of it. Talking about him made Damon quite uncomfortable and nervous, and to be honest it did the same to her. They cuddled a little bit more on the couch, catching up some TV as Damon made her some hot chocolate. He was spoiling her and she loved it. He was an amazing person, and even though they hadn't been together for very long, Elena felt like they always did. That ever since she stepped into his house the connection was there. She couldn't wait to make him meet Jeremy, Jenna and Alaric. He was a man worth being proud of.

After a few hours she got ready to go to the Grill. Finally she could live like a normal human being again, or at least it was a baby step. Damon had asked her if she could stay in his sweater because he loved it on her, but she refused saying that it was three times her size. He almost looked disappointed and she was amused by it, she found it quite adorable, so she promised him to wear it every time they were home.

They were finally into the Grill, which per usual at lunch wasn't very full. As she took his hand in hers and entwined their fingers, she felt him stiffening beside her. He seemed surprised and his fingers didn't react.

"Does it bother you?" She asked, not able to conver the hurt in her voice.

He looked at her smiling sweetly, kissing the tip of her nose. "Of course not, love. I'm just..not used to it." He said awkwardly.

He then put his arm around her shoulder and she entwined their fingers with his hand. Elena smirked smugly as she thought how women were envying her right now. She felt possessive and she loved it.

Ben, the usual waiter, looked at them almost in disbelief but then smiled at Damon. They slided into a booth as they greeted him.

"We're 'The Couple', babe." He said all cockily.

"Oh shut up." She said rolling her eyes, elbowing him.

She started giggling as he kissed and tickled the side of her neck with kisses. Their moment was inerrupted by Vicky Donovan, who was looking at them with a somehow amused expression. She was Matt's sister, and Elena didn't have a very good relationship with her since she despised the relationship that she had with Jeremy. She had been bad news for him. Pulling him away from her and their toxic relationship requiered to her and Jenna a very long time.

"Where did you leave Andie, Damon? Don't tell me you're with Lil Elena now." She said chuckling amused.

It was like a glass of ice water had been thrown over her face. First of all, she didn't want to hear about Andie. That bitch called her a slut without even knowing her and she was quite unbereable. And much less if she had to be related with Damon. He was hers, now. And especially Vicky mocking her was the last thing she could stand. She really hadn't changed. If you're a moron you're a moron.

Before she could stand up for herself, her man did for her. "I have no idea of where Andie is. And yes, I'm with this amazing girl now. I'm planning on making it last for a very, very long time.." He said as he looked at Elena suggestively, "so why don't we go straight to the orders and you can spare your annoying chit-chat to someone else, Vic?" He said smiling sarcastically.

She huffed quietly as Damon pratically shushed her. They quickly got their orders and Vicky left annoyed.

"Thank you." She said quietly, snuggling a little more onto his side. She loved feeling his warmth, it made her feel safe.

"Anytime, baby girl." He said winking at her. "Plus I can't stand Vicky too, trust me." He said rolling his eyes.

"You know that she's Matt's sister?"

"Matt as in your ex?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yep." She nodded.

"Oh lord.." He said rolling his eyes and Elena chuckled.

Their food arrived a few minutes after, and they gladly noticed that it wasn't Vicky the waitress. They chatted a while as Damon told her about the council of the town and how they were pressuring him on being part of it. The Lockwood's came into the conversation and Elena rolled her eyes thinking about Tyler. Damon told her that almost everyone in that family was a whipped idiot, but he used to be friend with Tyler's uncle Mason before he moved to Florida.

"So when was the last time you saw Mason? He doesn't seem bad. I mean it must be something considering the family he comes from.." Elena said as she kept eating the chocolate cake that they shared.

Damon chuckled. "Yeah he's not the worst. We used to hang out a lot but then he moved to Florida. Last time I saw him it was probably six or five months ago..he comes in Mystic Falls from time to time." He shrugged.

"Cool. I'd like to meet him the next time..if you want to, of course." She said shyly.

"Of course Lena." He said taking her hand in his and playing with her fingers.

"Damon you're not helping me eating this cake! You promised you would have helped me." She pouted.

"Fine, fine.." He groaned as he held his fork.

Once they were out of the Grill they went for a walk, after a while though Elena's leg started hurting so they quickly got back into the car. Damon asked her if she was okay and she told him she was fine and that she just needed that damn medicine of hers once at home.

"I have to take Jamie at school. Do you want to come or you want me to drive you home?" He asked.

"No, no. It's okay. I'm coming with you." She said smiling.

After a few minutes of silence he spoke again. "So..in a few days there's the fair. You know that annoying thing that they do all the years. Well I was wondering if you would want to come. It would be our last night together with Jamie and I thought we could do something nice..always if you feel to."

A grin appeared on her face. Elena loved the fair that they organized every year. She always used to went with Caroline and Bonnie.

"Of course! I can't wait. When is it?"

"Thursday. I know that your leg is still hurting, but it will probably improve during these days. Of course if you then you don't feel to, we don't have to go." He reassured her.

She chuckled softly. He was so attentive and caring. "Okay."

They pulled into Jamie's school parking lot waiting for him to get out. After a few minutes he climbed in smiling.

"Hi Uncle Damon and hi Lena." He said. "You know that I took an A at my spelling test?" He said all proudly.

"Jam! This is so good. Tonight we'll tell your dad when he calls you." Elena said smiling.

"Okay! Then can we tell him that you are Uncle Damon's girlfriend now?" He asked.

Damon and Elena shared a knowing look. Telling Stefan and Caroline would be another step, that they had agreed on telling them in person.

"Mmh..I don't think that's a good idea. We want to make them a surprise, you know?" Damon said.

Jamie seemed thoughtful. "Yes you're right. You will tell them when they get back. You are even cuter than daddy and Caroline I think that I will definitely tell them that!" He said grinning.

They both chuckled. "That you better not tell them, Jam." Elena laughed.

They day passed pretty quickly when they got home. Jamie made his homework and harassed both Damon and Elena all afternoon because he couldn't understand math. Luckily Damon managed to explain it and he calmed down as they were all going crazy for this freaking math problem. Obviously Damon cooked dinner and Elena found herself filling her stomach again. He was just that good. He was cocky about it and she couldn't blame him.

Right after dinner they watched a movie after they settled the kitchen. Jamie decided to watch Twilight because one of the girls at his school told him to watch it, and since he liked her, he wanted to do it so he could talk about it with her. Elena wasn't exactly a Twilight lover either, but seeing Damon falling asleep on her chest right after ten minutes the beginning of the movie was priceless. She ended up paying more attention to him than at the movie. She traced his flawless lines softly, caressing his soft black hair and kissing his face. He was so adorable while he was sleeping. She noticed that he had let his hair grow a little longer and she found herself loving it even more. The movie finally ended and Jamie said that it had disappointed him, therefore he didn't like that girl anymore because she had such bad tastes. Elena chuckled softly and brought him upstairs, she settled him into bed and she left him there about to call Stefan.

She returned downstairs and noticed that Damon was still sleeping on the couch. She smiled and kneeled in front of him. She gently kissed him all over and he mumbled incoherent words. She started shaking him a little.

"Damon.." She whispered, chuckling a little.

"Mmmmh…" He mumbled pushing his face into the pillow of the couch.

"Come on big boy let's get you to bed." Elena chuckled.

"Fine but just if you sleep with me." He said as his face emerged from the pillow.

He seemed so young and innocent in that moment, almost childish. He reminded her of Jamie.

"Damon, I don't know.."

"Oh come on Lena. Just sleeping. You did it yesterday." He pouted.

"Fine." She said rolling her eyes.

Even though she resisted a little at the beginning, Damon could see that Elena actually loved the idea of sleeping with him again. He had slept like he hadn't in ages when he slept with her beside him and he was craving it.

He put a pair of flat pants on and a t-shirt, and Elena told him that he was crazy sleeping with short sleeves. He chuckled and told her that he always slept with short sleeves. Elena on the other hand put her cute and damn sexy pajama on, and even putting his sweater on saying that it was cold. She was so damn hot in it.

He checked his phone and got a text from Stefan saying that he talked with Jamie and everything was okay, and then he found two missed calls from Giuseppe. Damon rolled his eyes and put it back on the nightstand.

He quickly got into bed, immediatly taking his beautiful girl into his arms. She purred contently as he scooped her in his arms.

"Mmh..I could get used to it, you know." She said closing her eyes against his chest.

"Well, you better to.." He whispered into her ear.

Her eyes snapped open as he started kissing her face softly, making her shudder. A moan escaped her mouth as he settled himself on top of her, kissing and nibbling at her neck. As Damon kept kissing her neck and eventually going down on her stomach she couldn't seem to stop it herself. He slid a hand under the sweater and cupped one of her breasts through her tank top. It was perfect. Her breasts were soft and perfectly sized. As he pinched her hard nipple a loud moan escaped her mouth. She was making him harder every second that passed.

"Damon…" She whispered arching her back a little as he kept teasing her through the material.

Just when he was about to kiss the bare skin of her stomach, the door suddenly burst open. Elena gasped and quickly shook Damon off her as Jamie came in. He was rubbing his eyes tiredly but he seemed upset.

"Hey, is everything alright?" Elena asked concerned.

"I had a nightmare..it's been a while since I last had one but this one was really bad. Can I sleep with you tonight?" He asked with his tiny tired voice.

"Oh sure, sweetie. Come here." Elena said as she patted the space between her and Damon.

She saw Damon groaning and complaining quietly at the beginnig but he then softened as Jamie rolled between them.

"Now sleep, okay?" Elena asked petting his head.

He nodded and fell asleep right after. She looked over at Damon and smiled at him. He was so beautiful. She entwined their hands over Jamie's little body as they whispered their goodnight's.

Damon woke up as he felt a noise. A buzzing noise or something. He saw Elena and Jamie sleeping quietly, then glanced at the clock in the nighstand. It signaled 3am and then he saw that it was his phone that was ringing. And who could it be at this hour of the night? He frowned as he saw the ID. Stefan.
