this is mostly just a filler chapter. But I hope you like it regardless. There will be more Delena in the next two chapters. Let me know what you think...
I only own Aiden and Aurora and my other original characters.
"Of course, I'll teach you all about fending off physical attacks. But if you don't mind I want to get Ric to teach you about vampire protection. I can teach you the stake to the heart or vervain. But there's so much more." he said.
"That sounds fine."she said.
"Great. I'll call him tonight." he said.
"Thanks Dad." she said honestly.
"Its no problem, sweetheart." he said standing up and kissing her temple. She smiled as she stood up and grabbed her backpack from where she dropped it by the door when she came inside.
"I'm going to go do my homework." she said walking up the stairs.
"Is she okay?" Aiden asked watching his sister disappear.
"I think so. She's so strong. So resilient. Like her mom." he said proudly.
"I've been so worried about her. I mean if you hadn't walked in this afternoon. I might have killed him." Aiden said.
"You reacted the way I would have." Damon assured his son.
"Am I grounded?" he asked afraid to hear the answer.
"No. You were defending your sister. I will not punish you for something like that." he said.
"Okay. But I better go do my homework too." Aiden said as he grabbed his backpack where he unceremoniously dropped when he walked in the front door.
"Good plan. You're mom will be home soon." he said. Once the kids were upstairs walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bag of blood from the fridge and poured it into a glass before raiding the fridge for something to make for dinner. Elena walked in a little while later and hung her jacket and purse up on the hooks.
"Hey" she said walking over to kiss her husband who was boiling pasta on the stove.
"Hey." he answered returning her kiss. "How was the planning?" he asked.
"As well as usual. Carol is panicking because this is her last year doing this and she's prepping Caroline and I for taking over for her and mom." she said
"Sounds fun. At least now they wont have to worry about finding replacements ever again with you and Caroline eternal beauties. And the town knowing all about us." he said.
"Exactly. But I swear to God she is driving me crazy. Have you ever heard of a vampire going insane?" she asked as she took the glass of blood from his hand and took a sip.
"Not from something like this." he said.
"Well its a good thing I don't have to deal with this again until next week." she said.
"Now you go and relax. The kids are upstairs doing homework and I've got diner covered. Pour yourself a glass of wine and sit down."he said rubbing her shoulders.
"Thanks." she said gratefully. She took one more sip of the blood before handing it back to Damon. He rolled his eyes at the two sips she left for him before turning back to the stove.
While the family was eating dinner the phone started ringing.
"Ignore it. Whoever it is can call back when we're not eating dinner." Damon said as Aiden rose to answer the phone. He sat back down and the answering machine picked it up.
"We're calling for the parents of Aiden Salvatore. I am the father of Nathan Monroe, who told us he was assaulted at the hands of Aiden this afternoon. As you know I am a very well respected lawyer here in Mystic Falls and..." the machine cut off, cutting the man off. A couple minutes later he called back and the machine picked up again.
"And as I was saying there will be massive legal damage to your family if you do not formally apologize to my son..." the machine cut off again when Damon unplugged it and shut it off. The man was seriously starting to annoy him and an annoyed Damon Salvatore wasn't good to have around.
"What are we going to do?" Elena asked having been told everything that happened earlier on.
"Nothing. He cant do anything. And I intend to just ignore him. He's a dick and his sons completely stupid if he thinks taking advantage of my daughter is going to get him a place anywhere other than the morgue." he said. Elena nodded satisfied that Damon had a clear idea of what he was planning on doing. When they were finished dinner, the phone had rung a whopping dozen times but the machine never picked up because the machine wasn't in use at the moment.
"Movie time?" Damon suggested.
"Move time." Aurora agreed. They walked into the living room and the kids did rock paper scissors to choose who got to pick the movie.
"Ha I win." Aurora said after beating Aiden best two out of three.
"Damn, now we have to watch a chick flick." Aiden groaned.
"Good job boy. And to think I trusted you. Next week its me and your mom and she stands no chance at beating me." he said as Aurora perused the shelf of movies.
"Next week will have the same result as this week baby. I am going to beat you in rock paper scissors." she said.
"It may have happened tonight but you will never beat me." he said. She smirked at him and leaned into his side as Aurora picked a movie.
"We are going to watch "The Notebook" because I am feeling super evil tonight." she said grinning. Damon and Aiden groaned as Elena clapped her hands in glee.
"Thank you Aurora." she said as she sat down on her dads other side. Throughout the movie Damon rolled his eyes at the disgusting romance displayed here.
"Aren't they beautiful." Elena asked as she cried through the movie.
"Oh yes. So beautiful." Damon said sarcastically. His response caused Elena to smack him upside the head.
"What was that for?" he groaned.
"You're sarcastic, jackass attitude." she said scowling.
"This movie is terrible. Why couldn't we watch something like Die Hard?" he asked.
"Because Aurora beat Aiden in rock paper scissors to win the right to choose the movie. And next week I am going to beat you and win the right to choose the movie." she said slowly.
"You don't need to talk to me like I'm an idiot. Because I'm not." he scowled at the TV as Noah carried Ally into the house and up to his bedroom.
When the movie was finally over Damon shut off the TV and everyone went upstairs shutting lights off as they went. The next morning Damon woke up and rolled over to the smiling face of his wife.
"Good morning." he said leaning in to kiss her.
"Morning." she said accepting his kiss.
"We better get downstairs to make breakfast for the kids. I am not sitting through another breakfast where Aurora eats chocolate." he said.
"They're aren't as bad as you think." Elena defended the breakfast cereal. He got out of bed and walked downstairs and Elena followed behind him. He cooked bacon, eggs,hash browns and toast for breakfast.
"We need to get groceries." he groaned. Damon hated grocery shopping.
"We'll go after the brats leave." Elena said hearing them come down the stairs.
"We are so not brats." Aiden said grabbing a plate of breakfast from his dad.
"Did you seriously make breakfast so I couldn't eat cocoa pebbles?" she asked.
"I sure did." he grinned.
"Wow." she said sitting down and eating the breakfast Damon piled onto her plate. When the kids were done they headed off to school and Damon and Elena headed off to the grocery store.
Around an hour later they returned and Damon was grumpy. He hated the crowds, he hated the annoying people and he hated the kids that screamed their heads off in the carts.
"Relax, remember fourteen years ago we had two year olds too."she said.
"Yeah but I'm certain ours didn't scream that much." he said as they got out of the car and carried the groceries into the house.
"Oh yes they did. You're just in denial because they were yours. Parents always think they're kids are perfect." she said.
"And ours were. They did not scream that much." he said putting the new box of cocoa pebbles into the cupboard. They worked in silence for a couple minutes before the doorbell rang. Elena walked over to answer it knowing Damon was still too grumpy to do it.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
"Hello, I am Robert Monroe. This is my wife Mary and you know our son Nathan." he said brushing past her into the house.
"Come on in." she said sarcastically as they walked past her into the house.
"Who the hell are you?" Damon spat when he seen them come into the house.
"I'm..." he started.
"I know who you are. What I'm wondering is who the hell you think you are that you can just brush past my wife without her inviting you in." he spat.
"We need to talk. I'm assuming your Damon Salvatore." he said.
"The one and only." he said.
"Well then take a seat Mr and Mrs Salvatore, as we need to discuss this matter between our kids. We both know Nathan isn't at fault here." Robert said making it very clear who he thought was at fault.
"He's not is he? Did he tell you that he tried to rape my daughter?" Damon snarled. Elena touched his hand willing him to keep calm.
"He told us that he came over here wanting to make things right with Aurora and then Aiden just attacked him.
"Bullshit." Damon said his eyes blazing.
"Mr Salvatore can we keep this respectful please and thank you. I am a very powerful man here and I can damage your reputation." he said mildly.
"I am too a very powerful man here. Unlike you I am one of the founders. Literally. I was here when this town was first founded. And I am head of the town council. That kind of trumps your whole lawyer title." he said.
"Mr Salvatore all I want is a sincere apology. We've decided not to blame Aiden. He was just following in your footsteps. The actual reason we're here is Nathan tells us that you threatened him on two different occasions." he said.
"I could do so much more than threaten him." Damon threatened.
"You wouldn't dare. Just because my son stooped low enough to date your slut of a daughter doesn't mean you can verbally assault him." Robert said.
"I suggest you get the hell out of my house before I give you something to really complain about." Damon said standing up and his vampire features emerging.
"I'm not afraid of vampires Mr Salvatore. You don't scare me. All you need to do is sincerely apologize and then we'll leave." he said.
"He tried to take advantage of my daughter at her weakest state. I will not apologize to him. And my warning still stands. Get the hell out of my house before I throw you out." he threatened.
"Fine. I can see we're just wasting our time. We'll be leaving now." he said standing up and pulling Nathan with him.
"and you can rest assured that I will be contacting the school to tell them about Nathan attempting to assault my daughter. And he will be expelled." Damon said smirking.
"They wouldn't buy that." Robert said.
"Wanna bet?" Damon asked darkly. "You can come clean now and then you wont lose football. You wont lose all those scholarships you're going for and you probably wont have a criminal record. Or else you can let this town tear you apart. Aurora is more a part of this town than your family ever will be. You guys are Mystic Falls transplants, no one cares about you." Damon snarled.
"Fine. Yes I tried to assault her and I would've succeeded if Aiden hadn't come home. I attacked him first." he said.
"Now was that so hard?" Damon asked teasingly.
"Let's get out of here?" Robert said pulling his son and wife out of the house.
"Well that was fun. We should totally do that again." Damon said grinning at the retreating family. Once they were gone he returned to where Elena was sitting.
"So, how did I do?" he asked.
"Very well. You didn't lose control." she said.
