Bonnie's Theft

Prologue

"What is going on? Why did you send me to the wrong address when everyone is here?" asked Jeremy slamming the car door closed as he stalked towards the house.

"We can talk about this later. You can even yell at me if you want, but neither of us can be here right now," replied Elena blocking the doorway.

"Caroline's mom told me what was going on. That you have her watching Emma so that you can try again to bring Bonnie home."

"Yes," said Elena weighing how much to tell him in her mind.

"I can't believe that after all this time I am still have the same conversations with you over and over again. I am not a child. You can let me know whats going on," he said folding his arms in front of his chest.

"And what if its bad news," said Elena biting her lower lip.

"I am a vampire slayer. I'd say that's pretty bad news. I lost my girlfriend to the other side i'd say that's pretty bad news. I can handle what life has to throw at me."

"Your actions say otherwise. Your drinking and then the crazy training sessions with Alaric." Elena said.

"So your chastising me on my coping mechanisms and you're sleeping with Enzo. A freaking killer whose arguably worse than Damon."

"We could have been there for each other. But you had other plans. So I leaned on the only other person who missed Damon as much as I did, Enzo."

"You're actually blaming your bad decisions on me?" asked Jeremy one eye-brow raised.

"It's not a bad decision or maybe it is I don't know. That's not the point," she said throwing up her hands in exasperation.

"Just stop it and let him in. You don't need to be fighting," replied Bonnie shaking her head dejectedly. Her hand on her back her stomach protruding obviously.

"Bonnie," he said pushing past his sister to give her a hug. "I'm glad you are okay."

"Okay as one can be pregnant," she said stepping out of his grasp and rubbing her stomach.

"How can this happen? I thought you died," he said touching her stomach tentatively as if whatever was in their would pop out at him like from a scene from alien. "Is it human?"

Her heart pounded in her ears. "You're not asking the right questions. I need to tell you who the father is and we both need to sit for me to do it.

She walked past the living room and out into the patio. Not bothering to take a glance at the faces that she knew would be staring them down. She couldn't dare to see the expression on Damon's face.

"I see that I am the last to know everything around here."

"Only because they care about you."

"I don't need protection. I've proven that already. Does this baby mean you are in trouble?" He said helping her down into a lawn chair, but feeling like standing himself. Anxious to know what was going on as he paced in front of her.

"No, but the babys father might need protection from you."

He looked at her stunned by her assumption. Then he noticed the ring on her finger.

She grimaced and looked at her hand. "It survived the journey."

"This baby wasn't an accident," he exclaimed realizing the situation he had walked into. "Where's Damon?"

"He's in the living room too. He made the transition first. He's the baby's father," she blurted opting to rip the Band-Aid off quick.

"You've only been gone three what four months!" He yelled feeling like all the time he had grieved for her was a waste. She obviously didnt care for him at all. "You slept with Damon the moment you got there."

"In our world," she said blinking back tears, "We've been gone a lot longer than that its been over a year for us. It didn't happen like that."

"I'm not going to sit idly by while you make her cry. Back off Jer -" interrupted Damon. Elena following behind and standing between the two men keeping them from coming to blows.

"He's sticking up for you now. He's some protector against me. The man who loved you, grieved for you," Jeremy yelled directing his comments to Bonnie. Who couldn't even look him in the eye. "I'm out of here." He brushed past Damon his shoulder hitting his and went to his car.

"Let me come with you?" asked Elena wanting to help her brother.

"Sorry love you have bigger fish to fry," said Enzo blocking her escape to the car. "What exactly do you mean telling the young lad that it was a mistake, but maybe it wasn't? Like you're still some high school aged girl and I was the guy who made you do it."

Elena shrugged angry that he was choosing now to discuss this.

"I've had enough of all of you," replied Jeremy stepping from his car carrying a cross bow. Aiming it at Enzo's back before Elena pushed him out of the way catching it in the shoulder.

She cried out as the arrow burned the inside of her shoulder. "Enzo, its silver."

"Hold on love," he said yanking the arrow out of her shoulder as he knelt by her side.

Jeremy watched the scene play out in front of him like it was happening to someone else. He watched as everyone piled outside of the house to see what had happened. And It suddenly dawned on him that he wasn't apart of them anymore. He belonged somewhere else. He threw the cross bow back into the passenger side of his car and sped off.

"You shouldn't have stepped in," said Bonnie to Damon wiping at her eyes.

"Boy wonders right about one thing. I am your protector and he was over stepping his bounds by making you cry," sneered Damon. "If it wasn't for Elena I would have killed him."

"If Elena doesn't give me a reason not too. I'm going to kill him," said Enzo a dark tone in his voice that wasn't there before.

"No one's going to do anything," said Caroline waving away there craziness as she and Alaric helped Elena inside.

"I'm going to be too busy to make sure that you two don't do that. So how about you just control yourselves for a change," replied Stefan nodding his understanding to Bonnie before going to the kitchen to retrieve a blood pack to speed up the healing process.

"He didnt give me a chance to explain," replied Bonnie unable to stop crying. As she became angry with herself that her hormones were choosing now to start raging out of control.

Damon squinted at her and watched her for a moment. "Is there even anything to explain?"

She looked at him in silence.

"You had a baby with your husband. But we're not in that world anymore. We're in this one and just like Elena you're probably wishing things were different."

Before she could dispute his assumption he was gone. She looked in the living room and saw Elena's head laying on top of Enzo's lap. Seeing them together is a little weird. She put her hand on her belly and rubbed her stomach. "Mommy's sorry about daddy. She really is."
