CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO- One And Only

Damon's P.O.V.

No one will tell me where they are. For the last week now, no one..Not even Bonnie knows where Elena and Stefan are. All we know is that they had left early one morning and haven't been heard of or seen since. Caroline swears that Elena told her that they're all fine, just taking some private time to reconnect with each other. I mean, I get..They can't go back to their old house that they used to share and reconnect there, not since Katherine and Klaus have moved in and made themselves at home in the neighborhood. The house is tainted with memories of what their lives were like before Stefan went missing, every corner of the small bedrooms carry a dark curtain of pain and suffering, every single thing in that house contains loss and agony and if it were me, I would burn the place down to never be reminded of it again.

So, it does make sense that they would want a more private place to go and be with each other. But, it's driving me crazy with worry about Stefan..Last I saw my younger brother was in the early morning before I left for work...He was nervous about talking to Elena. Yet, later on the next day, Bonnie had told me that she had found Elena in her underwear and bra at our house, walking out of the guestroom that we had placed Stefan in. So, I assume that they have cleared things up, But, it makes me wonder if Stefan has even told Sam and Olivia about who he is to them..I feel completely and utterly out of the loop on my brother's life at the moment and I guess that's what's put me in a shitty mood, not to mention the fact that when I got home just a few hours ago, that I saw the newspaper with the headline 'Ex- New York City Fireman Could Be Found As An Accessory To First Degree Murder.' ,sitting directly on the dining room table.

"Matt Donovan is in the news..Ha..Of course he is." I mumble to myself, hearing as the door unlocks and looking up to see Bonnie's surprised face.

"Hey...I wasn't expecting you home for a few more hours." She states as she walks over to me, a smile lingering on her face when she lowers her purse onto the kitchen counter, walking over to me and leaving a quick kiss against my lips.

"Yeah. Well, we weren't very busy tonight and if anything happens I told one of the guys to call me in and I'll have my cell phone on me. Anyways, have you seen the latest headlines..I-" I begin to say, hearing as Bonnie exhales and then she smiles a sweet, unsure expression when she sits down across from me, her hands are shaking just a bit as she places her warm hands on top of mine that are holding tightly onto the newspaper.

"Damon, I have something really important to tell you..." Her voice trails off, cracking a bit when she locks her eyes on me, watching as I place the newspaper down, squeezing her hand.

"Yeah. I'm all yours. What's going on babe?" I ask, my question lingers in the air between us as she clears her throat, nervously letting go of my hand. Bonnie's eyes shift away from my gaze and look around the room for a moment almost like she's collecting her thoughts, trying to figure out what to say and how to say it.

I look over at her flushed face, she looks exhausted. But, her bright green eyes are shining as she opens her mouth and the words just spill out in a pure joyous tone. "I'm pregnant, Damon. You're going to be a father!"
