The Salvatore Home

Walter's parents dropped Dylan off the next day very early. "Good morning home guess whose back." He said loud when he closed the door behind him.

Zoe came downstairs dressed in a green floral Sunday dress. Her curls were tied up high on her head. She saw her brother and said. "You should have been here ages go."

"Well halo to you to sunshine. I'm surprised your up after you made googly eyes with a certain boy whose name starts with a S all night. Oh I saw you."

"Mom!" Zoe screamed.

"What is it now?" Bonnie asked in a stern voice.

"She started it." Dylan said and pointed to his sister.

"He is making up lies mom." Zoe said upset.

"That's enough. Both of you. Dylan stop teasing your sister. Go take a shower I'll bring your clothes now."

"Clothes for what mom? Are we going out?" Dylan asked with excitement.

"Yes to the house of the Lord."

"What did you think? We going to game world dressed like this?" Zoe asked with a sweet smile.

"Cut it Zoe." Bonnie said and smiled.

Dylan hugged his mom and stick his tongue out at Zoe. Zoe just rolled her eyes and walked off.

...

Damon was still in bed when Dylan came rushing in. He jumped on the bed and hugged his dad.

"Hey buddy missed me?" Damon asked with a smirk.

"Bet I did. Now we can finish my boat dad!" Dylan said and he could barely contain his excitement.

"Church first, then lunch and after that it's you, me and the boat."

"Yesssss!"

"Now go get ready before we both get it from your mom."

Dylan rushed out of the room with a happy heart.

...

Heads turned as Bonnie, Damon and the kids entered the church. They are truly a beautiful family. Bonnie smiled at Care when she saw her and Stephen and their kids just sitting a few rows in front of them.

Church was full today so was it every Sunday. Mystique Lakes people pride themselves on their tradition of attending church every Sunday and gossip after church was not far behind.

Today's sermon was of Trust and loyalty. Damon felt like the preacher was preaching right at him. Anytime now the floor underneath him will part in two and only he will fall inside down to the pit of hell. He moved around and Bonnie briefly gave him a look. He smiled at her and took her hand.

Zoe spotted Stewart and he waved at her. She waved back shyly.

After the church service the two Salvatore families greeted each other outside the church. Zoe and Sophi could not stop talking about their pizza outing and giggled behind their hands. Kenzie and Amber made small talk with Kenzie complaining about another week of school. Caroline and Dr Henderson's wife were fussing over the little twins cute onesies.

"Brother." Damon greeted Stephen.

"Where's your tie?" Stephen asked Damon.

Damon rolled his eyes and said. "It got lost after Bonnie and I played our usual Sunday morning bondage game." Damon said and smirked.

"You just got out of church Damon." Stephen said and quickly looked around to see who might have heard Damon.

"And now I'm saved. Now hold my hand brother and let us pray." Damon said mockingly.

Stephen cleared his throat and asked. "Everything good between you and Bonnie now?"

"Good as can be. Despite what you and Blond ...I mean Caroline your wife thinks, I really do love my wife and yes we have our off days, but I will do anything for my family Stephen." Damon said seriously.

"We haven't spend much time together brother, so what do say you and me going out for drinks tonight?" Stephen asked.

"Sounds good as long as you paying." Damon said with a smirk.

"Wouldn't have it any other way." Stephen said and patted Damon on the shoulder.

...

After Sunday lunch Bonnie, the twins and the girls went to Caroline from there they are going to the Grants new home.

Damon with a very excited Dylan by his side was at the lake repairing his new boat.

"Think we can take this baby out on the open water today?" Dylan asked while swinging the hammer from left to right.

Damon look up and said. "Maybe, we will see. Now hand me the hammer before we make a trip to the emergency room."

Dylan handed his dad the hammer. Damon stood up and his joints pop.

"You didn't hear that." He said to Dylan and they both laughed.

"Nature calls. You can start on this side and please be careful with that hammer okay son?"

"Sure thing pops." Dylan said with a smile.

He looks so different from the Damon I know. Far from the cold calculating business man. The man who worships my body all night. That must be his youngest son. I saw him also at the church. Damon with his family. Sierra placed her hand protectively on her belly. She was hiding behind a tree. Watching father and son and now Damon is coming this way. She scratched her head. This blond wig is really uncomfortable.

Damon opened his zipper and was about to pee when he heard soft footsteps. He quickly zipped up and turned around. Astonishment written all over his face.

"What are you doing here?" Damon asked. He couldn't believe Sierra was standing infront of him. A blond Sierra.

"Nobody saw me. I kept calling and you never replied Damon I'm sorry for coming here but I have to tell you something."

Damon looked back at the lake. "Calm yourself down. You look like a mess Sierra."

"I am a mess and believe me I don't want you to see me like this, weak."

"We can't talk here go to the lake house I'll meet you there."

"Okay" Sierra said with a shaky voice.

Damon went back to Dylan. "Wow aren't we making progress." Damon said with a smirk. On the outside he was calm and collective but in the inside he was a mess. His thoughts running a mile away. Dylan said something he didn't hear and he just laughed.

"Son dad is going to make a quick very important call down at the lake house. I'll come down when I'm done okay?"

"Okay dad!"

...

Sierra turned around when the door open and ran to Damon. She hugged him. Damon gently hold her at arms length and said. "Now tell me Sierra what's wrong."

"I have been feeling weird Damon for a while. I was suspecting it but too afraid to find out if its really true...

"Just get to the point please." Damon whispered. His nerves was killing him. He already knew what Sierra is going to say but still he hoped for something else.

She swallowed hard and said. "I'm pregnant."

Damon was stunned. His eyes going crazy. He walked away from her.

"Damon please tell me what to do. What are we going to do?" she asked in a shaky voice.

"Get yourself together Sierra. We should get rid of it as soon as possible. Why didn't you do it? Why come here and risk my family finding out about us? Never mind, just do it as soon as you get back. I want you managing the business for a month or two...

"Damon? I'm keeping the baby." Sierra said softly.

"Don't be ridiculous. You a mother? Get rid of it Sierra you know we can't keep the baby."

"You can't but I can."

Damon suddenly thought back to the end song that the church choir sang. He could hear their heavenly voices clearly in his head.

"Come to me." He said and opened his arms for her.

With a sob Sierra went to Damon. He embraced her. "You look so tired. Didn't you get any sleep. Hush now everything will be okay. Your with me now." Damon said in a soothing voice.

Sierra sigh against his chest. She was indeed tired. So tired, but she's with Damon now and he will take care of things.

Damon kissed her on the head. His eyes weld up with tears. The heavenly voices of the choir sounding so beautiful in his head. His hand wrapped around Sierra's delicate neck and when she looked up with wide eyes he comfort her again.

"Sleep now my love everything will be fine." Damon said and squeezed tighter. Sierra struggled against his hands. Her eyes wide in fear and disbelief. She pushed him. Tried to talk, plead, but Damon's hands were squeezing the life out of her.

"Sleep now. It will all be over soon." Sierra stopped struggling. Blood dripping from her nose. Her body went limp against Damon.

Damon held her in his arms. Her lifeless body. He snapped out of his daze and quickly looked around for a place to hide the body.

Damon stepped out of the lake house. His mind working in top gear. He need to clean this up its too dangerous to leave the body here. He closed the door behind him. When he turned around he saw Mr Thornburg walking to the lake house.

"Halo there son. Fine weather were having today." Mr Thornburg greeted Damon.

What the fuck is this old geezer doing here. Damon thought to himself. He plastered a smile on his face and said. "Fine weather indeed Mr Thornburg.

"I usually come to the lake house on Sundays not a soul around to enjoy my bottle in peace. The old missus can be so annoying with her don't drink on the day of the Lord and I always tell her well me and the Lord have come to good understanding. He saved my leg during the war ...

Damon felt like strangling the annoying Mr Thornburg. His thoughts shocked him.

Damon laughed and said. "Well I'm with my son. Repairing his boat and I know that you Sir are a master when it comes to boats and ships ex navy marine such as yourself . It will be such an honour if you could join us. I have a bottle Bourbon and me and my son will want to hear your brave story how you courageously fought in the war."

"Well, I wouldn't mind lending a helping hand." Mr Thornburg said with a smile.

Damon knew the old crocodile will take the bate anything to get him away from here. "You go ahead I'm going to take a leak."

"You go about your business I'll help the young one so long." Mr Thornburg said with a smile.

...

Damon made sure Mr Thornburg walked to the lake before he took out his phone and dial a number.

"I need for you to clean up something as soon as possible."
