Chapter 22: Surprise

***Damon's POV***

"Eva." Was all I could say. What do I say? She walked over, taking the seat next to me. 

"Hi, Damon." She looks so different. She took out all her piercings, she changed her hair from bright blue to light brown hair, she's even dressed very differently. She looks healthy, physically and mentally. 

"What are you doing here?"

"I needed to see you. To talk about something very important."

"What's so important that you need me to break up with my girlfriend."

"Oh, please, Damon. We both know I am the love of your life. We belong together." I take back that she's mentally healthy.

"I haven't seen you in years. The last time I saw you, you tried to fucking kill me."

"You know I'm a very passionate woman. I may have gone a little overboard, but it's only because I love you."

"We are never getting back together, Eva. Fuck off."

"Oh, I love how you say my name," she giggled,"but I think we will get back together."

"Why do you think that?"

"Because I know you. When I tell you what I need to tell you, you will think it is best. At first, you will get mad at me. But you will forgive me because that is how strong our love is."

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"It's good news. I know I should have told you sooner, but I figured after I tried to kill you, that you wouldn't want me around anymore."

"Yeah, I think I made that pretty fucking clear." She laughs, as if I just made a fucking joke.

"You're so funny. I've missed you so much." She goes to touch my shoulder, but I grab her wrist.

"Just say whatever bullshit you have to say."

"Ugh, fine. You used to be fun."

"You used to be sane."

"My therapist thinks I've made progress."

"You're seeing a therapist?"

"Yes, and you will understand why. Damon, after we ended things, I found out I was pregnant." Stella gasped, very dramatically, I might add.

"By who? Because it wasn't me."

"Damon, why the fuck would I tell you if you weren't the father."

"I don't know why the fuck you do what you do."

"You are the father."

"No way. By the time we ended things, we hadn't had sex for almost a year."

"You're forgetting the night we had angry sex. We fought, you left, got drunk and when you came back we argued again and then it happened. It was a week before we ended us." Fuck. I vaguely remember that night. It felt more of a dream, I didn't think it actually happened.

"I have a kid?"

"You have a what?" My heart stopped when I heard that voice. I slowly turned around and saw Frankie standing at the entrance of the kitchen.

"Frankie! It's been forever!"

Frankie ignores Eva, keeping his eyes on me. I slowly stand, trying not to make any sudden movements.

"I just found out."

"Found out what?" Fuck me. Nyx is standing at the other doorway that leads outside.
