"Hey." Nancy mumbled softly as she stepped out into the hall and looked cautiously between the brothers. Stefan turned with a deceivingly calm face while Damon's remained stoic and cold.

"They here?" Stefan asked and she nodded, "two girls.....Josie and Lizzie." She said with the most proud and elated smile he'd ever seen. "I'm gonna go meet them- congratulate Ric......I'll let you two talk." Stefan said before he nodded at Nancy in a 'play nice' sort of warning and she just smiled softly. She could do this.

Couldn't she?

Nancy Jones and Damon Salvatore hadn't spoken since that day outside of Grannies- at least not to each other.

He'd been wallowing and she'd been distracting herself. That's how they handled things. Damon spiralled and made brash decisions while Nancy fell into denial. Both methods of coping were equally damaging and toxic.

"So these sailing and sword fighting lessons- they free?" He joked to break the ice- but his face wasn't one of humour. It was solid in it's distain. "For Stefan sure." She shrugged in reply. "You're moving on with Stefan? What to get back at me? Try out both brothers like ever other girl? You hate Elena that much that you have to do everything that opposite way to how she does it?" He spat at her, not missing a beat.

"Wow." She sighed with wide eyes and a slight step back. He'd gotten rather close during his little rant. "You're seriously doing this now?"

"Sure am." He nodded with a sarcastic smile. "Your best friend just became a father and you're out here fighting with me about your issues with your brother and your girlfriend?"

"That's what you're still calling yourself?" He asked viciously.
"I wasn't referring to me." She said with no emotion. "She's not my-."

"I could care less who you're with Damon. Yes you broke my heart, yes you infuriate me and a part of me wants to make you suffer for it- but the other 90% of me still loves you despite everything. Yes I kissed Stefan the other day when I was sad and lonely and heart broken and he was the only person who gave a shit other then my dad......but I would never......and j mean ever do that to Caroline.......I'm not here to perpetuate your little issues with your brother being the 'better' man- cause he's not. He's just not an asshole." She seethed before she turned on her heal and moved back towards the door.

"Oh and Damon.....your best friend is still in here with his children- our godchildren. So buck up and come say hello......cause we may live forever but I'm sure as hell never gonna experience this ever again and if Elena's not your cure then neither are you." She snapped before she walked back through the door and let it swing back into his face.

She understood why Stefan told him, she had nothing to hide.

Stefan's PoV

"You're a natural." I heard Killian mumble to Nancy as she stood cradling baby Lizzie who lay cooing in her arms. Tyler was beside them holding the baby's head gently as he and the Jones father and daughter laughed.

"I could never hold you properly." The pirate continued and we all stopped to listen to him talk. The room was comfortably quiet as Bonnie held Josie on the edge of Caroline's bed and Nancy held Lizzie- both babies sleeping soundly.

"What about your mom?" Matt then spoke up looking at Nancy and she froze. Her body went rigid and her smile dropped. Emma seemed to notice the change in mood like I had and she swiftly spoke.

"Killian and Nancy lost her when Nancy was a baby." The saviour said and her mother and father watched her as she patted Killian's arm supportively.
