Damon swallowed, for Christ sake he was Damon Salvatore, bad vampire and god of all darkness and death, These were kingdoms and titles he wore proudly, so why was the Bennet witch making his heart race like he was chasing after some poor human he could snack on.

He had no feelings for anybody, except his brother and Elena, and now their child., It had taken a lot for him to let his walls down to them, and they were all family. He could not, would not, do that for her.

She seemed to be as uncomfortable as him, and for a startling moment he realised he got no pleasure from her almost pain.

"hey… um… Bonnie." He said.

She almost blinked in surprise, he was addressing her by her actual name, this had to be a step in the right direction.

She froze, which direction did she want it to go in, where did she want this to go. As last time she checked, they had been both been fine with the lack of relationship or acknowledgement of one another they had.

"Hey Damon." She greeted and shifted nervously again.

"How are you?" He asked in just as strained a voice.

Nervous, petrified, queasy….

"Fine." She settled on.

He sighed and looked into her eyes.

"I love you." He said before he could stop gasped, "What?"

He swallowed, "Nothing, Stefan and Elena are through there…." He started and downed the rest of the alcohol bottle, trying to burn the inside of his brain so he could just die. How could he have said that, he had no idea who eh was anymore. This wasn't him, the Damon Salvatore he was happy with would never have let anyone know the hold they had over him.

Not even his younger brother.

"I love you to." She whispered so quietly he thought he had imagined it.

Oh my god what did it matter even if she had said it, it wasn't like he retuned the feeling…

"Really?" He breathed, walking towards her,

She nodded and touched his cheek.

"I love you Damon Salvatore."

He beamed, "You can be my witch anytime."

And before either of them knew what was going on, they were kissing, her hands locked in his hair, his firmly on her hips.

Bonnie moaned, "I can't.. Damon not…" She said and pulled away.

He looked at her crestfallen, so she was messing with him was she?

"Not here." She gasped, searching his face for his approval.

He smiled, glad it was only the room she was objecting to. She had said nothing about the activity eh had lined up for her.

"I have a bedroom you know, I don't get made to sleep on the couch." He told her huskily, kissing her neck.

She moaned and giggled at the same time, as a result a strange noise left her throat and she frowned in confusion to it.

"Good." She finished and pulled him by the hand up the stairs.

Stefan appeared at the bottom.

"Where are you to going, and holding hands?" He exclaimed.

Damon growled at him and Bonnie blushed.

"Back of Stefan, go and play happy families." Damon said and slammed his bedroom door.

Stefan let out a low whistle, unsure on shi feelings towards the happy pair.

He was about to walk back into the lounge when Damon opened the door again.

"And don't even think about listening in!"

He slammed it again and Stefan chuckled, sitting down with his fiancée in his lap.

"What are they doing, together?" She asked, looking towards the stairs.

Stefan laughed, "Don't worry about it, I'll tell you later."

Alaric chuckled, "Like we can't guess."

Stefan rolled his eyes, "Don't dwell on it, I don't plan on thinking any more about it than acutely necessary."

Jenna laughed, "Come on then Stefan, your with me aren't you, the babies defiantly a girl."

Stefan beamed, "Absolutely."Elena giggled and rested her head on his shoulder.

"They'll be as smart as their father regardless."

He smiled and kissed her hair, "As beautiful as their mummy."

The door was knocked on and Stefan got up, leaving Jenna to her gushing, Elena to her blushing and Alaric to his polite silence.

He opened the door to see Jeremy stood there, a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

"Oh flowers thank you" Stefan laughed as Damon and Bonnie appeared at the top of the stairs. Jeremy's eyes went wide when eh saw them holding hands. Everyone else appeared then and Elena ran forwards to hug Jeremy, He hugged her back but kept his eyes locked on Bonnie.

She took the flowers from Stefan, as he discreetly pushed her behind him.

"Oh flowers Jeremy thank you, they are for me aren't they?" She joked, but cut herself off when she saw the tension in Damon, Jeremy, Alaric and Stefan's eyes.,

"Actually Elena, I think they might be for Damon's funeral." Alaric muttered as Jeremy lunged at the older brother with a wooden stake in his hand.
