The next day Meredith, Bonnie, Caroline and I want to go to The Grill, but no one wants to watch Willow. As I get myself dressed, I hear the girls helping Willow get dressed.
"Willow baby, what about this? Do you like it honey?" Meredith asks for the hundredth time.
"Mere! I told you I want the purple one! Not the light purple one!" Willow yells. As the girls stifle their giggles, I'm guessing, Meredith complies to her demands as I hear Willow jumping up and down.
"Knock knock!" Damon yells up the stairs as he runs human speed. I can hear Willow squeal as Damon opens her bedroom door.
"Day-Day! You brought me flowers!" She yells in a high pitched voice. As I finally exit my room, I walk into Willow's and see that Damon really did bring her flowers. But more shockingly, he had a receipt. There were three flowers: a red Carnation, a yellow Tulip and a black Rose with babies breathe surrounding the bunch.
"A friend of mine made that for you. Do you like it, my little crow?" He asks curiosity clear in his eyes. Willow's head just flies up and down as she smells the flowers, one by one.
"This one," She says, pointing to the black rose, "smells the prettiest." Willow says with a smile. "Smell." She says, shoving it into his face. Damon just chuckles and takes a big whiff.
"It smells wonderful my little princess." Damon says as he stands. He holds his hand out and Willow takes it.
"Damon, why don't you watch Willow while we go to the Grill?" Meredith asks, glaring at him suspiciously.
"I have to go to the hospital." He says with a smirk.
"Damon, are you hurt?! Who hurt you?!" Willow cries out. Damon shakes his head, picks her up and sets her on the counter.
"I'm not hurt; I just have to go for a checkup." Willow starts swinging her legs. "In a checkup, the doctor checks your lungs," He points to his chest; where his lungs are at, "and your heart," Points to heart, "and all of the other things in your body." He finishes, smiling down at his favorite girl. He can deny it all he wants, but if he had to choose between Willow and I and Stefan, he would choose Willow, no doubt about it.
"So you can't postpone your 'appointment'?" She asks, annoyed. I turn to Mere and shake my head.
"He also has a meeting with Klaus…" I add, looking at Willow. Willow scrunches her nose.
"The big fat mean wolfie guy that you told me to scream if I ever saw him, because he's bad and he might wanna hurt you Jeremy and Damon?" She asks worriedly. I smirk and nod slightly, knowing she'll yell at Damon. But instead of yelling, she just leans forward and hugs Damon as tightly as she can.
"Promise you'll come and play with me when you're done talking with the mean wolfie?" She says, crying slightly.
"Don't worry my princess. I'll come back safe and sound." He says with a smile, making her smile. Willow nods and jumps down off of the counter to grab Meredith's any my hand and leads us out of the house, with a saddened Caroline behind us…
As we walk into the Grill, we see Kol, Elijah and Klaus sitting at the bar. Caroline runs in front of us and picks Willow up and holds her in her arms, the safest place in this bar right at this moment. Sadly, Elijah sees us and walks over to us.
"Sorry Elijah, but the girls and I have to go to the lady's room." I say, pulling Caroline in front of me, so I can watch Willow.
"But Lana, I don't have to pee." Willow whines. Caroline and I sigh and Elijah smiles a genuine smile.
"Elena, why don't I take Willow and go sit at a booth with my brothers and I while you go to the restroom. I swear, no harm will come to the child." He says, smiling at Willow, who smiles innocently back.
"Yeah Lana." Willow says, reaching for Elijah. I stand in between the two and look Elijah in the eyes.
"If any harm is done to my sister, I will personally kill you and your brothers." I say as I step back.
"And I believe you." Is all he says as Elijah takes Willow from Caroline's arms.
