If you have not read "I'm right here", this story will probably not make sense. For those who have, this is an alternative universe, so not apart of the IRH canon. It just takes most of the worldbuilding and puts it into a new one. I like that in "I'm right here", Damon is a single parent/brother, raising Stef on his own. I didn't want to change that. However, I also got the itch to write about Stefan having two dads. And as a Denzo shipper...this seemed like the way to go!

As I said, a lot is the same. Littles and vampires are known. The classification system works the same way. However, in this fic, after the adoption, Stefan began calling Damon "Dad" in his teen space and "Daddy/Dada" in younger spaces. They only moved to Mystic Falls about 6 months ago, but Stefan has the same group of friends (Bonnie, Elena, Tyler and Matt). Bunny and Crow-favorites in the "I'm right here" verse-will be in this fic, because we can't very well leave them behind!

This first chapter sort of acts as a prologue. I do want to focus on the family after things have settled in, but I will do flashback chapters to, showing how they got to where they are. I just have a few ideas for Enzo/Stefan having an established bond/relationship.

I promise, the usual Defan dynamic is not going anywhere. Damon is still the silly, sarcastic, overprotective dad that we all know and love. Stefan just has more people to love him and Damon has a co-parent, finally.

Another important note, I have made the decision to make Enzo part-Italian, as his actor is and the name is a very Italian name. He's still got his British accent, but will speak Italian occasionally, just as Damon and Stefan do.

I promise that I will not neglect "I'm right here" or the Baby Vampire verse. This is simply just adding to the family! Let me know what you guys think. As always, feel free to leave prompt or ask questions! I love chatting with you all. :)

Damon knows his son's dropped the moment he enters the living room. Stefan's curled up on the couch with a fuzzy purple blanket wrapped around him. In his arms are his comfort items: his Cinderella doll and Bunny. Stefan's eyes are glued to the TV, watching an episode of Spiderman.

"Oh," he mutters, running his fingers through his hair.

Damon will never be upset when his baby drops. He loves both sides of Stefan, and will do anything to nurture the younger one. Little Stefy is so sweet, adorable and cuddly.

There are times it comes at a very inopportune moment, however.

Damon walks over to the couch and drops beside him. Stefan looks up at him, his eyes lit up with childlike wonder. He collides onto his dad's lap, revealing his favorite Captain America PJs, dropping his toys in the process. Damon wraps his arms around him and kisses his temple.

"You got yourself dressed, Bunny?" Damon asks.

Stefan nods, smiling wide. "Like a big boy, Daddy."

Damon can't help but match the smile, kissing his cheek. "You don't have to be big, you're my little baby."

"Nuh uh," Stefan shakes his head. "I'm a big boy. One day I'll be as big as you."

Damon chuckles, pushing back his hair. When Stefan truly accepted his little state, he had shrunk. Not a whole lot, but enough to make him a bit shorter than Damon. Bonnie explained that it happened to a lot of vampires that were classified. Stefan still looks like your average teenager, just shorter.

"Sure, you will, Bunny Boy," Damon bounces him a little.

"Can we watch Cinderella? Please?" Stefan pouts, widening his eyes a little.

Damon nods. "We absolutely can. Just give me two seconds, I have to make a call, alright?"

"Okay!"

Damon settles his son onto the couch and heads out of the room. Just as he pulls out his cell phone, he hears a familiar car pull into the driveway.

"Fuck," he mutters under his breath. "The SOB's here early."

Damon vamps to the door, ready to head out to the car. As soon as he opens the door, he finds his boyfriend on the other side. Enzo wears a gray v-neck that teases his chest and tight jeans, showing off his ass. The bottle of wine in hand somehow makes him look sexier. Damon bites his lip, smirking involuntarily. Enzo grins.

"Hello, Love," he mutters, leaning in for a kiss.

Damon deepens it for a moment until he hears the cartoon playing in the background. He pulls off, rubbing the back of his neck. "I was just about to call you." Enzo raises a brow. "This um, this isn't a good night."

Enzo's smile fades. "I thought you wanted me to meet your son."

"I do, I really do, but um…this isn't…this isn't a good time."

"Why?"

Quick feet skid behind Damon, causing him to turn around. Stefan stands there, clutching his Cinderella and Bunny. His bright face quickly melts when he catches sight of the pair. Fear fills his wide green eyes, his lip trembling.

"Daddy," he whispers.

Damon doesn't bother to look back at Enzo. He rushes over to Stefan and crouches in front of him.

"What are you doing, Bunny?" Damon whispers. "I thought you were watching Spiderman."

Stefan looks over his dad's shoulder and clutches his toys tighter. He meets Damon's eye. "Heard talkin'," he mumbles. "Who that?"

"That…" Damon sighs, running his fingers through his hair. "Do you remember when you felt bigger? How we talked about Daddy's friend?"

Stefan nods, the anxiety on his face not disappearing. "Uh huh."

"Well…this is him. This…is Enzo."

Damon stands up, lifting Stefan into his arms. His baby boy buries his head in his shoulder, sticking his thumb in his mouth. Enzo is staring at the two, his eyes a little wide yet a small smile on his face. Damon cuddles Stefan closer, swaying him gently.

"Enzo, this is my son, Stefan."

Enzo walks closer. He waves to Stefan. The little one looks him up and down. He doesn't let go of his daddy but he does loosen his grip a little. "It's nice to meet you, Stefan. Your daddy has told me so much about you."

Damon doesn't miss the small glance his boyfriend gives him. He turns a little red, quickly returning his attention to Stefan.

"Hey, Bunny, I need to talk to Enzo for a minute, okay? How about I get you your sippy and you can go back to your show?" Stefan pouts. Damon sighs, nuzzling his cheek against his. "Daddy needs to have a grownup conversation. Can you be my good boy, please?" Stefan is quiet for a moment before eventually nodding. Damon holds back a sigh of relief. "That's my boy."

Enzo follows them into the kitchen. Damon grabs a sippy cup with little crows printed across it. He hands it to Stefan and dashes back to the living room. Enzo stays put this time. Damon wraps his baby back up in a blanket, making sure he's distracted before vamping into the kitchen. The bottle of wine now sits on the counter. Enzo stands there, arms folded across his chest and an eyebrow raised.

"Something you'd like to tell me, Love?"

Damon sighs again. "Stefan's a Little."

"I gathered as much. Question is why you didn't tell me sooner."

"It's… complicated."

"I don't see how. You know I'm a caretaker, I am a huge fan of the classification system. It's done a lot of good. You think I'd judge?"

"No, of course not!" Damon pinches the bridge of his nose. "The thing is, I only found out that Stefan was a Little about 2 years ago."

Enzo frowns. "How? I thought the two of you maintained regular contact."

"We did, but he lied to me when the system was put into place." Damon tries not to let himself go back to that place. He was so hurt, disappointed and angry with Stefan at the time. "He was living in Chicago at the time, not taking very good care of himself. I found his original paperwork and managed to help him turn it around. I adopted him, like I told you. He went from being my baby brother to my son. And soon, he felt comfortable with showing this side to me."

Enzo's smile returns. "That's all very sweet. But again…why not tell me?"

"Stefan is still becoming comfortable with this side. He can't control when he drops anymore, but he doesn't like telling many people about his status. Only some of his friends know. When I started dating you, I promised him I wouldn't say anything until he was ready." He awkwardly chuckles. "But like I said, he can't exactly control the whole dropping thing. I was going to call you, but then you had the audacity to be early."

Enzo snorts, shaking his head.

"Apologies for wanting to make a good first impression." He takes a step closer. "I understand the secrecy, and I don't want to make the little one uncomfortable. However, for the record…" He takes his hand. "I am okay with all of this."

Damon lets out a sigh of relief. Stefan comes first, always. If Enzo had a problem with any part of his baby boy, he'd be gone in a heartbeat.

Still…Damon really, really didn't want to lose him.

"That's good to know," Damon whispers, leaning in for a kiss. He grins as Enzo bites his bottom lip. "There's a child in the other room."

Enzo laughs, keeping a grip on his boyfriend. "I can head out, if you'd like. I don't want to scare the poor thing."

"If Stefan's okay with you staying, then I am."

"Really?"

"It's important you get to know both sides of him." Damon shrugs. "It'll be a good test."

Enzo wiggles his eyebrows. "And what do I get if I receive a passing grade?"

Damon rolls his eyes, punching him in the shoulder. Together, they head into the living room. Stefan's still curled up, his sippy cup finished and on the couch beside him. Damon picks it up and places it on the coffee table. He drops beside his son, rubbing his back. Stefan looks up at him, clearly a little less anxious than before. He fidgets, looking back at Enzo before settling on his dad.

"If you want, Enzo can go home," Damon whispers. "I won't be upset. But, I was thinking, maybe he could watch Cinderella with us?" Stefan tilts his head. "I want him to get to know my Bunny Boy." He continues rubbing the small circles. "But, if you're not ready, that's okay too. We can do this again, when you're bigger."

Stefan chews on his lip, deep in thought. He doesn't pull away from his dad as he nods.

"He can stay," Stefan says.

Damon smiles, kissing his nose. "Great." He pulls Stefan onto his lap and gestures for Enzo to come over. His boyfriend obliges, sitting beside him. Stefan cuddles his doll and bunny closer.

Enzo smiles. "That's an adorable little bunny you have."

Stefan strokes it's ear. "Daddy made it for me, when I was a baby." He lifts up the Cinderella. "And he got me Cinderella 'cause she's my most favorite."

"Is that right? Well, your daddy sounds like a very nice guy."

Stefan nods. "He's silly and plays with me and gives me splashy baths." He makes a face. "Sometimes he's a little strict and I have to go in the naughty corner. Or, get a 'panking."

Enzo pulls a sympathetic face. "That doesn't sound very fun at all."

Stefan nods, sighing dramatically. "But only sometimes. 'Cause I'm a very good boy." He looks up at Damon. "Right, Daddy?"

Damon smiles, kissing his nose. "That's right, my little bunny."

Stefan looks back at Enzo. "Do you like Cinderella?"

"I can't say I've ever watched it." Stefan's mouth drops open and Enzo laughs. "Is that surprising?"

"Daddy and I watch it all the time. And all the princesses." Stefan shrugs. "But Daddy always likes the princes best. Like Flynn from Tangled."

Enzo smirks and Damon snorts, gently kicking him without Stefan noticing.

"I didn't know princes were your daddy's type," Enzo subtly teases his boyfriend.

Stefan nods, oblivious. "What do you do with Daddy?"

"We go out to dinner, sometimes have some grown-up drinks. He's taken me to the movies and bowling…which he's not very good at."

Stefan giggles as Damon scoffs in admonishment. "He's not," Stefan agrees.

Damon shakes his head. "Don't help him, Stef."

Stefan pokes out his tongue before his face grows serious. "Do you love my daddy?"

Damon turns bright red. Little Stefan has a million and five questions, paired with the inability to read the room. Before he can speak, Stefan rambles on.

"'Cause in the movies, the princes love the princesses. And Daddy says two princes or two princesses could fall in love. So…do you love him?"

Enzo smiles, placing a hand on Damon's knee. "Yes, I love him very much."

Damon's stomach warms at the words. Stefan looks up at him and opens his mouth. Damon holds a finger to the little one's lips.

"Yes," he whispers. "I love him too."

He leans over Stefan and briefly kisses him. Stefan tugs at Damon's shirt.

"Ewww, no kissing!"

Damon and Enzo pull away, chuckling. Enzo moves closer, wrapping an arm around Stefan.

"Sorry, Bambino," he says. "We won't do that in front of you."

"Good. Kissing is yucky."

Stefan's thumb enters his mouth. He allows Enzo to keep a grip on him. The two continue chatting. Enzo patiently listens as Stefan rambles on about each Disney princess and their story. His eyes don't leave the little one, gasping and cheering at the appropriate times. Damon looks between his two favorite guys, the smile not leaving his face.

After adopting Stefan, Damon wasn't sure if he'd enter into a serious relationship. Enzo seemed like a good exception…and clearly, he was right.
