SN: Okay so I received my first negative reviews. One was from an anonymous person. I did not delete it. I actually laughed after reading it. All it said was "awful" by anon. Some of my favorite authors on here were getting similar things and wrote about it. I just wanted to let everyone know that I will not be stopping my story. I actually am motivated by it. There are only two reasons you would do it. Either you're mad that people think I'm talented and you don't think you possess any or you are simply a hater with nothing better to do with your life. The followers of this story are amazing. I cannot let some people's view or hatred stop me from doing or writing something I love. Also if you took the time to read my story and then review it to tell me if was awful, I must be doing something right. So please continue to hate and try and bring me down. I'm used to it. I want everyone reading this to remember what I'm about to tell you. People will always be mad at your successes in life, just let them be angry. Let the hate fuel your fire to do what you love. Some people are simply haters and nothing better. With that in mind, I want to kindly (excuse my crudeness) give the finger to whoever wrote that review. Especially if you're reading this now, obviously it's not awful. Get some self-confidence and cheer up. OAN: I know some people were worried I hadn't updated in so long. School has been kicking my ass. I actually attempted to do all of my homework before updating. I only did like part of one. So I needed to update because I love you guys way more than homework. I want to dedicate this chapter to vamplover2011 whose idea inspired Katherine's actions. Now on to the story. Enjoy:
"Excuse me?" Katherine said after Elena finished talking.
Elena was now confused. Why did Kat look in shock? Oh shit, that meant …
"I thought Jer told you everything." Elea said quietly.
Elena looked up to see her sister with a dreamy expression on her face. Jeremy was in for it now.
"He didn't tell me a thing." Katherine said mumbling.
"Katherine calm down."
"I'm calm." Katherine mumbled even though they both knew it was a lie.
Katherine got up and headed into her closet. Elena's brows scrunched up in confusion. Katherine came out the closet with five pairs of heels, some flats and an old blow dryer. She headed out of the room. Elena slowly got up and followed her sister down their giant staircase. Jeremy and Mani were standing in the living room kissing. Katherine ran down the stairs with wide eyes. Jeremy and Mani pulled apart and Katherine threw one heel at him. The heel hit him in the head at the toe and rebounded off of him.
"What the hell-" Jeremy exclaimed turning around only to be smacked right in the face by a red ballet face.
Katherine continued to throw a combination of hells and flats at her brother who was guarding his face.
"You ignorant ass bastard!" Katherine exclaimed throwing two more hells at him.
"Katherine, what the hell is wrong with you?" Jeremy yelled.
"How could you keep a niece from me for almost three years you asshole?" Katherine yelled throwing the last thing in her arms which just so happened to be the blow dryer.
Jeremy caught it when enraged her further and Katherine attacked him with full force. Mani and Elena stood watching as Katherine punched and slapped Jeremy in the head.
"Stupid, stupid bastard!" Katherine yelled out.
Elena finally decided her brother had enough after a few good laughs and pulled her thrashing sister off of him.
"You need to calm down." Jeremy said red in the face and pointing directly at her.
"You need to stop lying asshole!" Katherine replied in anger.
Elena laughed but stopped once she caught a glare from Jeremy.
"I'm sorry Jer. I thought she knew." Elena apologized with a guilty expression on her face.
"I haven't told anyone but you and Damon yet Lena. A little warning would be nice." Jeremy yelled.
"No, what would be nice is getting to spoil my niece. Oh wait until Dad finds out!"
The room got deadly quiet as everyone got guilty faces. Katherine looked around then screamed at the top of her lungs.
"He knew? Dad knew? Oh I am so killing everyone in this family!" Katherine exclaimed fighting loose from her twin.
"Kat calm down." Elena said.
"I get it. Mani's not a slut. You never cheated on Anna with her. It does not excuse not telling us about Jeremia." Katherine shouted.
"I didn't want anyone to assume anything. It's not fair to her or my daughter."
"You could have told us the story just like you told Lena. You probably would still be hiding it if Mia hadn't run into Lena in the kitchen a couple of days ago. How could you be so low as to hide family Jer?"
"It's not that simple." Jeremy replied looking at the fresh cuts on his arms and shaking his head.
"It actually is that simple ass hat. I don't appreciate being lied to."
"Why is Kat shouting at Daddy?" Mia's voice echoed through the room.
Everyone looked toward the direction of the hallway where Jeremy's room was and there was Mia. She was standing in purple sundress with daisies all over it. Her long brown hair was in a ponytail at the middle of her head. Her green eyes were sparkling as she watched them all observantly.
"Oh My God! You are just the cutest thing ever." Katherine exclaimed heading toward her niece.
Elena watched as her sister did a complete one hundred eighty turnaround like she was bipolar and scooped Mia into her arms like she was a teddy bear. Mia giggled into Katherine's arms.
"Tank you." Mia said giggling.
Katherine smiled down at the girl then glared at Jeremy.
"I hope you know I hate you know asshole." Katherine said.
"Don't curse in front of my daughter!" Jeremy scolded making Mani smile.
"What's an asshole Daddy?" Mia asked with innocent eyes.
Elena laughed then coughed to cover up her humor at the situation. Katherine was truly going insane.
"Don't repeat that sweetie." Mani said with a smile.
"Don't laugh at her," Jeremy said to his fiancé then turned to his little sister, "And you! Do not teach my kid that type of language. I've already got Klaus asking what a home wrecker and hoe is."
"Well maybe if she had been around us, you wouldn't worry about us corrupting her. It would be too late already. Wouldn't it asshole?" Katherine exclaimed stressing the asshole.
"I'm warning you Kat." Jeremy threatened heading in her direction.
Mani grabbed his arm, pulling him away from rounding on his sister.
"Babe, she's upset. You need to understand." Mani said cupping his cheek.
Jeremy nodded rolling his eyes. He scoffed then smiled as Mani pecked him on the lips. She just smiled as he made the kiss deeper. They broke apart laughing.
"I like her." Katherine said nodding at Mani.
Elena shook her head. Her family needed therapy, like constant everyday therapy for the rest of their lives.
"Now how am I going to make up lost time with my favorite little niece?"
"Daddy says I'm a princess. Auntie Care says princesses' needs lots of clothes. Let's go shopping Kat."
Kat squealed in excitement at the little girl's suggestion.
"Perfect idea. She's like a little me!"
"Lord." Jeremy stressed rubbing his neck in exhaustion.
"Daddy Kat go to take me shopping." Mia said with a giant smile.
"I am and Daddy gave Auntie Kat two platinum credit cards with a five thousand dollar limit each. I think we can make a record on them."
"Katherine you do not spend over the limit on one of those cards. Understand?" Jeremy said looking away from Mani to give his sister one of his famous bad boy glares.
"Jeremy I owe her countless presents. Because of you, I missed birthdays which equal two presents each. I missed Christmas where she would have gotten at least five maybe more. New Year's deserves a new outfit so does Valentine's day. Easter involves a dress and a basket. Plus Halloween. Duh! Because of your foolish actions, I now need to act accordingly and fulfill the missing quota. You can only truly blame yourself." Katherine said smirking and swaying her niece on her hip.
Mia laughed and clapped her hands together.
"Yay! Shopping with Kat!"
"You can call me Auntie Kat just like Klaus does. You're family caterpillar. Now that you have me, I can turn you into butterfly."
"I like to be a princess better." Mia said turning her head in determination.
"Then I princess you will be. That means I owe you a Tiara." Katherine said smiling.
Katherine walked over to her brother and held out her hand.
"What?" Jeremy asked in irritation.
"You really need to toss the tude young man. Thank you very much. I need you to get her car seat from your car to put into my car so we can go shopping." Katherine said like it was obvious.
"Fine." Jeremy said heading out the door.
"Good boy." Katherine said smiling.
"Auntie Kat, I love shopping. Will you always take me shopping?" Mia asked with her sparkling emerald eyes.
"Of course I can caterpillar. I'll get you everything. When you get old enough, I'll teach you how to get boys and drive your Daddy crazy. I'll teach you to how to drive. I'll even teach you how to catch a big fish."
"What's a big fish?" Mia asked curiously, her brows going together in confusion looking like the spitting image of Katherine and Elena.
"Oh, a boy with a lot of money that you can use to shop. Your Daddy is a big fish." Katherine said.
"Kat, you need to quit teaching her stuff like that before Jer kills you." Elena warned smiling.
"Like I'm afraid of Jer killing me. I'm his baby sister." Katherine said with an innocent smile.
"You need to stop smiling. It's creepy. Picturing innocence on you is weird." Elena teased then laughed.
"Haha. I am going to take this little princess shopping. Are you coming?"
"Sadly no, I think I'll skip you turning our two year old niece into a siren. I want to talk to my boyfriend."
"You and Damon are disgusting." Katherine joked with a fake look of disgust.
"Well isn't this the pot calling the kettle black? This coming from the girl who will willingly share what happened the night she and Stefan made ice cream sandwiches out of one another in graphic detail. Now that is disgusting."
"Eww. I think I am just going to go back to the room." Mani said with a giant smile.
Katherine smiled and waved at Mani before noticing the boxes all over the living room.
"What's with all these boxes?" Elena asked noticing Katherine staring at them.
"Umm … I think you might want to talk to Jeremy about that." Mani said smiling at the twins then disappearing down the hallway where Jeremy's room resided.
Katherine and Elena looked at once another in confusion. Katherine grabbed her purse off of the table still holding Mia on her hip as Jeremy came back into the room.
"Umm … Jeremy what's going on with the boxes?" Elena asked as they both turned toward their brother.
"I was going to tell you both when I told Katherine the truth. I'm moving out."
"You're what?" Katherine and Elena asked in unison.
They looked at one another and smiled. Twin telepathy, it never failed.
"I'm moving out. I already talked to Dad about it. I've been saving up ever since the club started turning really good profits. I always wanted a house of my own. It's not far from here, maybe twenty minutes away. It's close to the warehouse but not too close. Maybe it's a forty minute drive whereas from here it's an hour."
"Why are you moving out?"
Elena fidgeted. This was the part she never got to tell Kat.
"Mani and I are engaged. I don't want to live here with my wife and kids forever." Jeremy said with a shrug of the shoulders.
"Excuse me? You're what?" Katherine asked.
"I never got that far Jer." Elena mumbled with a small smile.
Elena looked back and forth between her brother and sister with a slight smile. Katherine had a type of serial killer smile on her face.
"If Mia wasn't in my arms right now, I would totally kick you're A.S.S. Just so you know."
Elena wanted to laugh but started coughing as to cover it up. Jeremy just glared at his sister as she started toward the door with his daughter in tow.
"Kat!" Jeremy called and she turned around slowly.
"Yes, Jeremy?" Katherine asked feigning innocence.
"Be careful. Do not drive more than ten miles per hour over the speed limit."
"Why yes father, I will make sure I won't crash my car just to spite you." Katherine teased, swaying her hips as she left out.
Jeremy exhaled a breath. Sometimes Katherine drove him insane to a point where he thought he might need mental help. Jeremy turned back to his youngest sister who was staring at him with raised eyebrows.
"What?" He asked smiling.
"So tell me about the new house." Elena said with genuine curiosity.
"It's like twenty minutes away from here like I said. Red brick house with two stories. It was foreclosed so I got it for a good deal. It has five rooms."
"Five rooms?" Elena asked interrupting Jeremy's stream of information.
"Well yeah."
"Is Mani pregnant?" Elena asked making Jeremy go pale.
"No definitely not. We want more kids though. Niklaus and Mia both need a room. Mani and I have our room. The extra rooms can be used as guest rooms until we fill them up." Jeremy explained.
Elena smiled at him. When he caught her staring and smiling, he looked at her funny.
"What?" He asked chuckling.
"Nothing. You just really look excited for something since you opened your clubs. You look happy. It's a good look on you."
Jeremy hugged his baby sister trying to get her to see how much he loved her and how he wished he could put some things from this summer behind them.
"I love you Elena."
"I love you too Jer … even when you drive me insane sometimes. I know you care."
Jeremy laughed at the last comment as the two started walking toward the kitchen.
"Whoa! I am wiped out." Katherine exclaimed coming into the house.
Elena looked around. Katherine had about twenty bags in her arms.
"Where is Mia?" Elena questioned her twin.
"Behind me."
Mia looked like a miniature version of Katherine with a pair of Gucci sunglasses framing her small face. 'Seriously, where the hell did she find those so small?' Elena thought to herself. Mia was carrying about ten bags with her and smiling at Elena.
"Jeremy and Dad are going to kill you." Elena said laughing.
"Oh please I should have spent at least three grand not just twenty five hundred."
"Yep, you're dead. " Elena said laughing.
"Anyway, I'm putting these up. I bought you something from La Femme Sexuelle too for you and Damon."
"Kat! You took a two year old in a lingerie store?"
"Please, it was a pick up order. I just went in and got out." Katherine told Elena rolling her eyes as she jogged up the stairs.
Elena rolled her eyes and watched as Mia waddled her way over to her smiling. Elena relieved the little one of the bags and put them on the second couch as she lifted her up.
"Hey Mia Bia. Did you have fun shopping with Auntie Kat?"
"Yes, I dids. Kat got me a lot of clothes. She got me some sunglasses and some shoes. I got a shirt with my face on it and we took pictures."
Mia went into her pocket and handed Elena a set of pictures of Mia and Katherine posing in a photo booth. No one could ever deny that they were related. It made Elena wonder if people guessed that Mia was Jer's back before he and Mani decided to out themselves. Someone had to guess they were together.
"I like the pictures. Can I have one?" Elena asked.
Mia nodded pulling another set of photos from her pocket.
"These are for you Lena. I hopes you likes them."
Mia smiled at her Aunt glowing. Elena could feel her heart melt. She hoped that if she and Damon had kids they would look like Mia minus the green eyes. Their kids would have blue eyes just like their father. Ice cold but able to melt the entire Artic if someone dared them too.
"I love them sweetheart. Are you hungry?"
"Yes. We eat some food but shopping is hard work." Mia said with a convincing expression on her face.
Elena picked her niece up and took off the glasses. As they started toward the kitchen, the doorbell rang out. Elena headed toward the door with Mia in tow and was surprised to find Bonnie at her doorstep at nine at night.
"Hey Bon." Elena said.
"Hey BonBon." Mia said smiling.
"Hey Lena. Little Lena." Bonnie said coming into the house smiling.
Bonnie walked into the house like she did when she was still dating Jeremy. She was sure she did not know about her brother and Mani. She would certainly not be here if she did and risk running into them.
"No offense but what are you doing here Bon?"
"I wanted to tell you how my first date with Finn went."
It had totally slipped Elena's mind that Finn took Bonnie to Richmond on a date. She was surprised they were back early but knowing Bonnie, she wanted to get home to gossip with Caroline. Elena smiled at her friend and they both sat down on the couch.
"So how was it?" Elena questioned.
"It was magical. He is so sweet. It's like a breath of fresh air."
Elena laughed from the irony of the situation. Bonnie was going on about another guy like Jeremy was the boyfriend from hell to his own sister. Bonnie caught the look on Elena's face and waved her hands.
"Not that Jeremy was a bad boyfriend. He always was good to me. It's just that Finn is new and exciting. I'm like finally dating someone without emotional baggage. It's nice."
Elena was happy for her friend. She needed someone nice. Bonnie had to deal with Jeremy and his cheating for far too long.
"What did you guys do?"
"Finn said because it was out first date he wanted to take me out during the day. We went out to this huge arcade and to the movies. He paid for everything which is surprising. I mean, Jer always paid for me to do things but I never thought it was common."
"That sounds amazing Bon."
"That's nwice BonBon." Mia said gushing, following her aunt.
Bonnie and Elena both laughed at the young girl's simplicity.
"It was nice. I like him a lot. I hope he comes around once the school year starts again which is like in three weeks." Bonnie said sighing dreamingly.
Elena smiled at her friend as Mia twirled around in circles. Bonnie looked around in confusion.
"What's with the boxes?" Bonnie questioned her friend.
"Daddy bought a house. He's moving away from his Daddy." Mia said acting like a ballerina.
Bonnie narrowed her eyes at the young girl and looked to Elena for confirmation about what was going on.
"You met her Dad?" Bonnie asked.
Elena knew everything was about to go to hell now. Once Bonnie found out, their house would turn into a war zone if Mani and Jeremy ever emerged from his bedroom.
"Yeah…" Elena said trailing off.
"Is he hot?" Bonnie asked smiling.
"Umm. I think I will pass on that question." Elena said getting uncomfortable.
Was her brother hot? Eww.
"So who is he? Do I know him?" Bonnie asked.
Elena wanted to shrink into a corner and disappear.
"Mommy and Daddy are getting a house. I'll get my own rooms. Niklaus' room is next to mine too. Our house is bigs." Mia said dreamingly doing a plié.
"Niklaus?" Bonnie asked, things starting to connect in her head.
"Bon-" Elena started as she watched Bonnie's eyes water.
"No, Lena. Please tell me I'm wrong with where I'm going with this."
"Bonnie, I need for you to understand." Elena said standing up.
"Why is BonBon crying Auntie Lena?" Mia asked stopping with her dancing.
"Elena, I am going to break down in the middle of your living room if what I think is right." Bonnie warned.
The sound of feet padding down the stairs turned the three girls' attention to Katherine coming down the stairs.
"Hey Bon." Katherine said before noticing her tears.
Katherine looked like a deer caught in headlights as she guesses why Bonnie was crying.
"Oh gosh, who told Bonnie about Jer being Mia's dad and being engaged to Mani?"
Bonnie's jaw dropped as the tears started free falling like rain down her face.
"You told her dumbass." Elena scolded her sister as she approached her friend.
"What?" Bonnie said not even bothering to wipe the tears from her face.
"Bonnie you need to calm down."
"How long have you known?" Bonnie asked not even getting loud.
"Three days." Elena admitted with a guilty face.
"I can't believe him."
"BonBon, don't cry." Mia said pouting.
Bonnie smiled down at the young girl wiping her face.
"I knew there was a reason he was pulling away from me. Engaged?"
"He never cheated on you Bon." Katherine said looking at her nails like she was bored.
"It doesn't matter. He kept a kid from me for years. Then he basically dumped me for her mother."
Laughter echoed into the living room as Jeremy stepped into it alone. At the sight of his ex-crying and his daughter in the same room, Jeremy froze.
"Bonnie, what are you doing here?"
"You are the biggest, lying cheating ASSHOLE ever!" Bonnie exclaimed rounding on him.
She began to whack Jeremy with her purse.
"How could you?" was the only thing coming out of her mouth as she repeatedly hit him.
Katherine sat there laughing as Elena watched not knowing what to do. Jeremy's actions were coming back to haunt him and he had no one but himself to blame. Bonnie finally stopped hitting Jeremy and just looked at him like he was the scum of the Earth.
"I loved you." Bonnie told him.
"I loved you too Bonnie. You'll never know how much I loved you, it just wasn't enough. I loved Mani more."
Bonnie nodded her head in understanding before storming out of the house.
"I think it's safe to say Bonnie hates you now." Katherine said laughing.
Mia looked around at everyone in confusion. Elena sighed. She definitely needed some boyfriend time.
Damon answered the door wiping his eyes. He took in the sight of his girlfriend with a backpack on her shoulders. She smiled at him. He could not help but smile back.
"Hey Lena. Is everything alright?" Damon questioned her.
"Yea, just everything at my house is hitting the boiling point. I needed a Damon break."
Damon chuckled at his girlfriend's choice of words as she came into his room. Sure, it eleven but he would make time for her any day of the week. Her lips were suddenly on his and he wrapped his arms around her as their lips pressed against one another in remembrance.
"I love you." Elena said to him.
"I love you too babe." Damon told her.
"Good. And I am the only one allowed to have any kids by you."
Damon laughed at her but nodded his head all the same.
"You my dear are the only woman I ever want to bare my Salvatore babies."
Elena smiled hugging the love of her life. Damon would always be the constant light in her life when everything else remained in chaos.
I know there wasn't a lot of DE but there will be next chapter. Review, alert, enjoy. I hope you all liked it. You can follow me at AveryCali003 on twitter for spoilers or questions.
