Damon's p.o.v

I ran as fast as I can to the witches. Most of my wounds were healed, but I still had blood all over my clothes. A few minutes later I heard a whoosh. I stopped and looked around. I saw an original hybrid standing in front of me.

"Hello mate, you look like you need my help!" I smiled and sighed in relief. It was Klaus. One of my best friends. Just who I needed right now. He hugged me and I hugged him even tighter. After a few moments we pulled apart.

"I need to tell you some thing really important but before that we need to get your daughter back." I smiled not even bothering to ask how he knows about all this. I knew we could do this. We ran vampire speed to the witches and caught them right on time. They didn't get to far. Ash was still crying. Klaus looked at me and then we started killing them. One by one all of them died.

I picked up Ash and she hugged me. Klaus was still busy killing them, but I got my daughter back. I got what I needed.

"Klaus let's go."

"Come on brother, the fun just started!" Klaus smiled at me.

"No Klaus that's it. Let's go."

I knew that Ash was getting scared so I ran in vampire speed to the boarding house with Klaus following behind. We sat in the living room to rest for a while. "I am going to go and change" I said as I got up from the couch. Then I heard something. It was a baby. A baby was crying.

I looked at Ash who was playing with my jacket. She was smiling although her eyes were red and swollen. I looked at klaus. He must have noticed that I was alarmed because he finally said "I have to show you something." I raised an eyebrow. We ran upstairs to my bedroom and Klaus picked up an adorable baby girl who had now stopped crying.

"Baby!" I heard Ash say. I smiled and put her on top of my bed. "Who is she Klaus?" I asked. "She is my daughter, Hope." I felt my jaw drop, and Klaus made a funny face. "She is your daughter? No way!"

"What you can have one and I can't?" He said in between laughs.

"May I?" I asked as I extended my arms to hold the adorable baby. Yes, a big bad vampire has a soft spot for kids and babies. Klaus handed me Hope, and bent down so he can be at the same level as Ash. Ash clutched on to my pants and hid behind my legs. "Go ahead Ash. Don't be scared" I whispered. Ash slowly move towards Klaus. He held her hand. "Hello love!" He smiles. Ash smiled, and then looked at me I bent down with the baby still in my arms. "He's you uncle. He is uncle Klaus." She smiled and hugged him.

Ash looked at the baby and smiled. She put her little fingers on her nose. "Hope!" She said and then hugged her. I laughed and so did Klaus. "Yes Hope." I said as I handed her back to Klaus. "Okay now it's time for bed. You must be tired little one." I said as I picked ash up.

"Let's put you in bed."

She nodded and I tucked her in my bed and turned of the lights. I took some new clothes out of the closet and changed and went downstairs to the living room. Klaus put hope down on the sofa and she slowly fell asleep. Her mother died giving birth to her. He said as I poured wine. "Oh." was all I can say. "Who was she?" I asked.

"Hayley." He replied as I handed him the glass of wine.

"What?" I said with shocked.

"Hayley the werewolf?"

Klaus rolled his eyes like he was expecting the reaction. "Yes Damon that's the one. Ever since, Caroline has been staying with me in New Orleans."

So are you guys like married or something? Damon asked wiggling his eyebrows. Klaus laughed

"No... Not yet." I smirked and sat down carefully on the sofa so I won't wake Hope up.

"Candice died today." I said. Klaus quickly looked up at me confused.

"She was alive?"

"Yeah apparently."

"So, who's going to be the mommy?" He said. I gave him a look. "Oh oh! I know I know, Bonnie Bennett." He said, his voice sounding like a hyper kid.

"Shut up." I yelled at him.

"You love her Damon. It's pretty obvious. Just admit it now."

"Yeah I love her. I love that witch."

Klaus smirked in satisfaction as he sat down on the couch.

The door opened and Alaric, Jo, Stefan, Elena, Caroline, and Bonnie all came in.

After a few minutes Matt and Jeremy came in too. Everyone was shocked to see Klaus .

Everyone stopped as soon as they saw Klaus. Klaus looked at Caroline who was smiling and crying at the same time.

"Hello love!" He smiled and Caroline ran toward him to hug him.

Caroline's p.o.v

We were on our way home when we met Jeremy and Matt looking for Candice. We told them that she had died and we bought them home.

"I hope Damon is okay" Bonnie said. I nodded.

"Don't worry he will be okay."

I knew there was something going on between Bonnie and Damon and I am totally shipping them. In fact, so are Stefan and Elena. We were all in Ric's new car. He drove us to the Salvatore boarding house. We all decided to stay for a night so we can comfort Damon and take his mind of this crap. He was my best friend after all. We reached at the boarding house in a few moments. Stefan opened the door to the house and we were all ready to see a sad Damon, and a tired ash inside but I saw Klaus inside.

Just the person I wanted to see right now. I hugged him as tight as possible and than I saw Hope sleeping on the couch where Damon was sitting.

"Who's that?" Matt asked as he saw Hope.

"That's our daughter." I looked at Klaus when he said our. I smiled as wide as I can, and I saw Damon raising an eyebrow at the word our.

"Where's Ash?" Elena asked Damon. She is in my room, sleeping.

"Klaus why don't you leave hope in my room." Damon said to Klaus. Klaus took Hope upstairs and we all took a seat on the sofa. We all looked at Damon to say something but he was too busy drinking to notice. When he did he finally said, "what?" I sighed and we sat there is silence until we heard the bell ring. I ran to the door to get it and saw that it was Rebekah and Elijah. "Oh my god! What are you guys doing here!" I said laughing.

Damon came to the door and hugged Elijah. "How are you doing brother." Elijah asked Damon.

"I am fine. I don't know why everyone keeps asking that question."

"He's in shock." I whispered but I knew Damon can hear me.

He rolled his eyes and let Rebekah and Elijah in. Before we knew it all our friends were there.
