My Promise

6

Walking into my home it didn't feel like home and it didn't look like home either. "She really had to ruin our Childs home?" I asked Damon as we walked in, his hand on the small of my back. Every photo was smashed, flower was pulled apart. Painting was ripped. "She's a piece of work." He said unimpressed with the state of the house. "I'll call Klaus, see if we can stay with him." He tells me. "I just want to be home." I moaned and pouted. 

Being away from home for two weeks was long enough. "We just need to clean." "At least inspect Eli's room first, she's not sleeping a pig sty." He tells me and I rolled my eyes but he was right. "Come on then buttercup." I was as I knelt on the floor to get her out of her seat. She was asleep. She slept a lot. Apparently babies do that. 

We walked upstairs taking in every broken thing in this place. Though she missed on painting, a painting Klaus did for me, it was of Hope and I, it was in the hall way of the second floor onto of the dresser, a few photos around it was broken but we just needed new frames for them. 

Eli's room was trashed, all the time we spent on it was pointless because not even the crib was together. I don't even think it was saveable, we'd have to get knew everything. "Her clothes! Seriously!" I said seeing them paint was thrown on her clothes which were mostly light colours so it looked even worse. "It's just things, the two most important things are safe." He kissed the top of my head. "They were really cute clothes." I pouted. 

"You're tired." He tells me. "Have you ever been on a two week road trip with three babies, two of which just cry and a 4 year old who hates being in a car? With no husband?" He didn't say anything. "Didn't think so. Of course I'm tired." "Well lucky for you, Klaus said we could stay there whilst he gets his people in to fix this place up." "When did you and Klaus become such good friends" "Trip home... he's not all bad." I smiled in accomplishment. Alls I wanted was for them two to get along... it meant a lot of me and finally they were starting to hate each other a little less. 

-----------------

After weeks of living with my family. Bonnie, Damon and I were finally home. Eliana had grown so quickly and it saddened me I wish she'd stay little forever. But she's now 6 months old and she was so indecent already... Damon said she gets it from me. She's sitting up by herself and she's rolling over. Her little giggles are the sweetest. And she plays so nicely with Lizzie and Josie. It makes me heart happy that she'll have permeant best friends as they were her cousins. 

And Hope she's just a character. Damon is convinced I've had too much influence on her. She was the type of child that just did everything she wasn't meant to. You want her to keep her outfit clean and nice she's in the garden running through the mud. She's also tapped into her magic for real which is exciting! Freya and I have been trying to help her with it. But she's four and she just thinks it's a toy. So Motus is the ned favourite word. And she has to wear her bracelet that stops her magic most of the time. If not people would be stuck to the walls all over the place and she'd have full run of the house. 

"Home Sweet Home." Bonnie said as she set her bag down. Eli was gurgling to herself from Damons arms. "It looks great." Bonnie said running her hand along the new dresser in the hall way that had family photos on. "It would have looked fine before too if a certain someone didn't decide to be a bitch." Damon says bitterly. I didn't scold him for swearing in front of Eli because he was right she was a bitch. 

"The Christmas tree!" Bonnie gushed. She hadn't seen the house at all in the process of it being re-done. I came over to add the finishing touches like the festive decor. It was Christmas after all. And Eliana's first Christmas so I was not having it ruined for her. "It looks amazing in here." She complimented as we walked through. Eli was pointing at the lights and I smiled as she was getting excited kicking her legs as Damon held her, he found the amusement in it too smiling at her admiringly.
