The next few days felt like a blur to everyone. Stefan was slowly regaining his humanity, Kol and Klaus were trying to make Willow feel a little bit better, Elena and Jeremy were on security detail and Damon was just stuck between his daughter, the love of his existence and his brother.
Tyler and Caroline were having countless all-nighter's. Every day, either Care or Tyler would try to come and help Willow, or sometimes Damon, and they would be called back by their lover. They were too busy in each other to even have any other care.
Bonnie was lost. Between the loss of her mother's humanity and the loss of her grandmother's life, she felt as if the world was closing in and she had no time for anyone. She felt useless, that if she couldn't even help herself, how could she help take care of a child?
Damon was becoming confused. All that was ever on his mind was the three reasons for his existence: Elena, Stefan and his little Willow, mostly his little girl. He had fallen into his 'fight or flight' mode and he was 'fighting' the urge to go and knock his brother's face into a concrete wall and proceed to beat his ass with a vervain soaked baseball bat. He then started to think of Elena how much she needed him: needed him to be a father, brother but a lover at the same time. In his mind, he was none of the above. In his mind he was just another useless life, wasted. What he didn't realize was the esteem that his daughter held him in. In Willow's eyes, he couldn't be any more perfect. He helped her when she was sad, calmed her down when she was mad, made her think and make important 'life' decisions but most importantly, he never stopped loving her. No matter how many times she screamed at him, no matter how many times she walked out, he would welcome her back with open arms and a sarcastic remark.
Elena was in a 'funk'. On her security duties, she would find herself fantasizing about her and Damon. She decided that a break between Damon and her was a priority at that moment. She couldn't take care of Willow and fantisize about her nights with Damon at the same time. It was between Damon and Willow. And she had chosen Willow. Now, if only Damon could understand…
