Rachel and Damon had just gotten home when someone knocked on the door. Damon went to open it and saw Lexi standing on the other side.
"Yes?" He pretended not to know her… Keep in character and everything!
"I know it's you Damon… I want to know why you're hiding from Stefan and who this girl you call your daughter is!" Lexi snarled.
"Do you swear not to try to hurt Rachel if we let you in?" He asked after a sight.
"I promise."
"Rachel honey, can you please come and invite Lexi in." Damon called out.
Rachel walked and arrived by his side.
"Are you sure? She's Stefan's friend and he already killed 2 people here… What if she wants to hurt us?" Rachel asked.
"Don't worry, we can trust her." Damon replied.
"Okay then, you can come in!" Rachel said, staying by her father's side while the blond entered the house.
"I'll just be in my room…" Rachel said while her father directed their guest to the living room.
"Okay Star… I'll tell you everything later!" Damon said before she walked up the stairs.
"Who is she really?" Lexi asked.
"My daughter…My biological daughter." Damon replied.
When he saw Lexi's questioning look, he proceeded to tell her everything, including Shelby's reaction to Rachel and how he could look old.
"I can't believe it… That's… wow…"
"I know… She's everything for me now and I don't want Stefan near her! You might think that the bunny diet is best for him but it isn't… He can't control himself when he gets angry… That's how Zack and Mr Tanner got killed, that's how he hurt Rachel… Until he controls himself while on human blood, I won't tell him the truth and you owe me that." Damon explained.
"I understand but… Don't you think he deserves to know? Maybe it will help him get control…"
"Lexi listen… In 1942 I sacrificed the occasion to make things right with my brother and to be happy because you thought it would be best for him… You owe me to let me do this the way I believe is best for my daughter… I need you to trust me and keep this a secret!" Damon said before he added: "If you agree to do this, I might be able to get a witch friend of mine to make you a sun walking piece of jewellery…"
"Really? You'd do that?" She asked.
"Yes… You give me an address and I'll make sure you get it soon." Damon replied.
"Fine… I'll leave town tomorrow anyway… Here is my address… I won't tell Stefan anything… You have my word." She said before she rose and they said goodbye.
As soon as she was gone, Damon called the witch who made his bracelet and asked her to make a necklace for Lexi and to send it to the address he had. She told him a price and he told her he would send her a check the next day.
Like he promised, he went in Rachel's room and told her how things went with Lexi before he wished her goodnight and went back downstairs for a little drink before going to bed.
.
"So, did you find anything?" Stefan asked Lexi when she got back to their room.
"No, not much… I saw Damon with Rachel and her father… they looked like a nice family… They seem happy together… Damon looks…changed!" Lexi told him… So what if it was part a lie… It's not like Stefan would be able to find out the truth anyway!
"Oh…Well, let's talk about something else… What did you think of Elena?"
"I'm not sure… She's… She wasn't that nice to me…"
"She was jealous…"
"I know… I guess she seems nice enough… But she needs to let go of her envy… The way she looked at Rachel at the Grill… Anyway, what's important is that you're happy!" Lexi said before they proceeded to drink, watch old movies and have fun together.
.
Elena was home and thinking hard.
Lexi seemed nice enough but she also made Stefan smiled and have fun in a way that she hadn't seen him yet… He simply looked freer near her. She had to admit that it was hard not to be jealous but Stefan made it clear that Lexi was just his friend and that he loved her…
As she walked down the stairs to get something to drink, she saw her Aunt Jenna talking happily on the phone… She had been at the bar too…With the new history teacher… Jenna and Mister Salzmann? Would that work? Well, like they say only time would tell…
Jenna deserved to be happy too after what her ex Logan Fell put her through.
I know this one is short... The most important thing here was Lexi... The rest was just fill up!
