I know its a little shorter, but I hope you still like it. Let me know. Hope you like the little lemon nestled in at the end.
PS I own nothing but my original characters.
"Do you need anything sweetheart?" Elena asked her daughter once they got her home and in her bed.
"I'm fine. I just want to rest for a while." she said yawning. The events of the past couple days catching up to her.
"Alright. Call us if you need anything." Damon said kissing his daughters forehead.
"Okay daddy." she said. They walked out of the room and shut the door before walking downstairs where everyone was convened. Elena's mom and dad had brought Aiden home and once he had seen his sister he threw his arms around her and hugged her tightly. Caroline and Tyler were cuddled up on the couch while everyone else was situated elsewhere talking and enjoying each other.
"She's in bed." Elena said sitting down next to Caroline.
"She needs her rest. She'll be okay eventually." Caroline assured her best friend.
"I know. She's strong. She gets that from Damon." she said.
"She gets that from both of you." Caroline corrected. Elena smiled at that and leaned into her best friends side.
"I'm going to pick up Lilah. She's probably worried sick. I forgot to call her when we got home." he said.
"Okay. I'm pretty sure Aurora wants to see her." Elena said. Damon left and drove over to his daughters best friends house. Once he arrived he knocked on the door.
"Mr Salvatore, how can we help you?" Lilah's mom asked.
"Is Lilah home?" he asked.
"Of course. Is everything alright now. Lilah told us what happened and how you and Elena saved our little girls life." Lilah's mom asked wiping a tear from her eye.
"Everything is fine now. Aurora will need some time to recover emotionally, but she will be fine. She's strong like her mom." he said proudly.
"Come on in. I'll go upstairs and get Lilah." she said stepping aside. Damon entered the house for the first time and stood by the door. A few seconds later Lilah came running down the stairs.
"Is Aurora okay? I got so scared when I didnt hear from you. She is okay right?" she asked frantically.
"She'll be fine. Although right now I'm sure she wants nothing more than to see her best friend." he said.
"I can go right mom?" Lilah turned to her mom.
"Of course. Just call if you decide to spend the night." her mom said.
"Thanks mom." she said before following Damon out to the Camaro. Damon saw that the house cleared out while he was gone, all that was left now were Stefan and Lexi.
"Where did everyone go?" he asked.
"They wanted to get back to life. And Care and Tyler were getting out of control. They couldnt keep their hands off of each other. I had to kick them out." she said.
"Good job." he said taking Lilah upstairs.
"Aurora? I have a present for you." he called knocking on her door.
"Come in." she said sleep coating her voice. He opened the door and had the pleasure of seeing her eyes light up when she seen her best friend. She leaped out of bed and tackled Lilah, hugging her tightly. Damon smiled and left the room shutting the door behind him. If there was anything that was going to fix her it was going to be Lilah.
He walked into the living room just as Stefan and Lexi decided it was time for them to go back to their tiny 1 bedroom house.
"We'll see you guys later." Lexi said as she took Stefan's hand to lead him out to the car.
"Was Aurora happy to see Lilah?" Elena asked.
"Ecstatic. Her eyes lit up. It was amazing." he said.
"That's good. Have you seen Aiden?" she asked.
"Last I checked he was in his room. I have no idea what he's doing?" Damon admitted. He got up and walked up the stairs intent on investigating his sons activities. He walked past Aurora's room and heard the sound of happy giggling coming from his daughter and her best friend. It was a sound he'd missed, even though it was only gone for two days. He opened Aiden's door and seen him sitting at his desk poring over an open text book.
"What are you doing?" Damon asked.
"Studying. I have a massive civil war exam tomorrow, and I need to study." he said not even looking up.
"You're studying? Wow. I should almost take a picture to show your mom. She might die of a heart attack." he said.
"Ha ha. Vampire's cant die of a heart attack dad." he said dryly.
"She may be the first. You're studying. Wow. I've got to tell your mom." he said leaving the room.
"Dad! Do you know anything about the civil war?" Aiden asked.
"You could say that. I fought in it. What do you want to know?" he asked laughing at the memory of Elena asking the same question years earlier.
"Everything." he said. "What side did you fight for?" he asked.
"Confederacy." Damon answered. They worked together for a while before Damon stood up.
"Do you need anything else?" he asked.
"I've got it now. Thanks dad. " he said.
"Now I've got to go explain to your mom what you were doing up here." he said shutting the newly rehinged door back to its frame.
"What was he doing? And why did it take you so long up there?" Elena asked suspiciously.
"Wait for it. He was...studying. And I was helping him." Damon said.
"Studying? Please tell me it was from a book and school related?" she asked knowing there were other non-educational subjects he could be studying.
"Yeah he was studying the civil war for an exam tomorrow." Damon said laughing. ]
"Oh my God have I stepped into an alternate universe where my son is a responsible student?" she asked.
"Nope. He is actually studying. He's apparently taking this responsibilty thing seriously." Damon said.
"I'm happy." Elena said smiling softly.
A little while later Damon went upstairs and knocked on Aurora's door.
"I just wanted to know if there was anything you needed or wanted?" he asked.
"If you wouldnt mind, I would love some cookie dough cheesecake." she said hopefully. She opened the door to plead with her dad. She batted her eyelashes and did her best puppy dog expression.
"I guess I'm making a trip to the Grill. I'll be back." he said leaving the room. Aurora squealed.
"Thanks daddy." she said. Damon laughed and went out to his car. Elena had retired upstairs to be alone for a while earlier on. He knew she needed some time alone to deal with the feelings she had about almost losing their daughter. Once he got to the Grill he went inside and sat at the bar.
"Damon Salvatore in the Grill at night again? What happened this time?" Matt asked.
"Aurora wants cake. She gets cake." he said. "She went through a tough time the past couple days." he said.
"I heard that something happened, but I didnt know what." he said.
"She was kidnapped and assaulted by a vampire that wanted revenge on me for something I did 50 years ago." he explained.
"Is she okay?" he asked concerned for the daughter of the woman he would always love.
"She'll be fine." he said.
"Good. I'll go get your cake." he said going into the cooler. A couple minutes later he came out with a boxed cake. Damon paid for it and drove home. Once he got there he cut it up and put five pieces on a tray and carried them upstairs. First stop he dropped two pieces off at Aurora's room who quickly snatched them from him and handed one to her friend before taking a sizable bite of the cake. Next stop he gave a piece to Aiden who was still memorizing everything he could about the Civil War. Final stop he took the last two pieces into his and Elena's bedroom. He sat down beside her and handed her a piece of cake.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"I cant believe I let our daughter be kidnapped like that. What kind of parents are we?" she asked.
"It wasnt your fault. If it was anyone's fault it was mine." he told her
"It's not your fault Damon." she said.
"I was the one who killed Maria. I was the reason he wanted revenge. If you want to blame anyone, blame me. Not yourself." he said.
"I wont blame you." she said taking a bite of the cake.
"Dont blame yourself either. It was not your fault. You got her out of there." he said.
"Thanks." she said as she ate her cake. Once she was finished he took her plate and put it on top of his and placed them on the night stand. She was staring straight ahead and he could still tell that she was feeling at least partially responsible.
"Come here." he said opening his arms. She willingly slid into his embrace and laid her head on his chest. He knew she needed to let it all out. She needed to cry a little bit.
"It's okay. I'm here." he said kissing the top of her head. She broke down and cried then. There was only so long she could be strong for, before she broke. With tears still streaming down her face she lifted her face and kissed him with everything she had. Her hands ran through his hair keeping him as close as she could, needing to feel him as close as she could. Her hands went to the buttons on his shirt and she ran her hands down the hard planes of his chest and stomach. He broke the kiss to stare at her questioningly.
"I need you Damon. I could have lost you. I need to feel us again tonight. That's what is going to fix me." she said. He didnt need to hear anything else he rolled her under him and pulled her t shirt up and over her head before attacking her lips again. She could feel him harden against her and she shivered in anticipation. Her pushed the open shirt off his shoulders and let it fall to the bed. His hands unclasped her bra from behind her and tossed it away. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down on top of her. She needed to feel his weight around her. His chest crushed her breasts into her chest as they kissed and nibbled at each other. He pulled away for a moment to undo her jeans and pull them down her legs. He slid her panties off next and tossed them over his shoulder. She tugged on his belt pulling him down on top of her again. She moved her hips against his denim covered cock and some of her wetness transferred over to his jeans. She unbuckled his belt and the button and zipper on his jeans. She slid her hand inside and cupped his erection in her hands and squeezed slightly.
"Elena." he warned. She obliged him and pushed his pants down his hips along with his black boxer/briefs before using her feet to help her remove them the rest of the way. He kicked them off when they got down to his ankles. He rested himself on top of her,his erection teasing her entrance. They kissed passionately as she moved her hips against him trying to get as much pleasure as she could. Damon put his hands on her hips to hold her steady as he lined his penis up with her entrance. He slid in slowly as they moved in sync with each other. She pulled him down, needing to feel all of his weight on her as he moved within her.
"God you're beautiful." he said as he moved within her at a satisfying pace.
"So are you." she said stroking the hair off his face. Having his body crushing hers into the mattress had to be the most intimate position they'd every used. He was so close to her, and she was sheathing him inside her. It was intimate, it was romantic, it was perfect. He gentle rocked them both to completion. They came together he spilled deep inside her as she released around him. He stayed where he was for a few moments before pulling out and rolling over to pull her to his side.
"God I love you Elena." he said kissing her neck.
"I love you too." she said nestling comfortably into his embrace. If nothing else did, that would forever remain the same.
