~Nico Petrova~

~Family Reunion~

"Carlie! hurry up dear, you'll be late for work!" shouted Damon, to his darling little princess. Rebekah had moved in with stefan, the newest member of the salvatore house, taking possision as the annoying little sister to both brothers. She had brought a child with her, Small blonde and cute. 18 years old and the closest to a neice stefan or Damon would ever get. 

"Coming!" she called as she bounded down the stairs brushing her hair as she ran.                    "See you soon carlie.." Damon chirped. She placed a soft kiss on his cheek.                                          "I'll be home a little later uncle Damon.I'm going to see Nico for lunch." Nico was most likely just another one of her little toys. A lot like her mother she was a minipulative vampire blonde who could get just about anyone to do just about anything. 

"okay my dear, play nice." he smirked as she ran out of the door. He walked upstairs and flopped down onto the bed, thinking. the name Nico was a name that was too familiar to Damon to just forget about. Nico. Nico. Nico...

"Stefan!? why do i know the name Nico?!" He shouted and stefan froze in the door. 

"One second, brother." Stefan lept down the stairs and into the basement, getting out a small box of diaries and notes, pictures and trinkets. "here." he said throwing it to Damon. He took out a small pink envelope out and opened it. 

                                        Dear Damon, I'm sorry i left. Elena was telling you things that i could not bare to have you hate me for. I was never unfaithful to you. I loved you too much. Your Baby boy was born to day. Nico Damon Petrova. I hope you like the addition to his name and forgive me for whatever grievence i caused you. That's the thing about eternity, everyone dies on you and you're left alone. I did not want to be left alone Damon, I wanted to be loved. To be held. But Elena had other plans. I always loved you Damon, Remeber that. 

                                                             Katherine x

"NO! Stefan! tell me it's not true!" He muttered under his breath, unable to remember Katherine even returning to mystic falls. This could not be real, she died in the fire in the church. 

"It is. Nico is your son. Katherine was your love. You loved her more than anything, then let her walk away. The day of the funeral tore you apart and i had rebekah take away your memories of her. Her life, her death, her love." Damon pulled his knees up to his chest as the memories returned, swelling his eyes with tears that stung like bees. 

"sh-she died?" he asked in a whispered sob. Stefan nodded and stepped closer to his brother, wrapping an arm around him. Stefan had never seen Damon like this since the day his mother died. 

"Child birth... Like ma' ma'." he whispered back. Damon rocked himself softly thinking of the day he let katherine walk out and never chased her. 

"and Nico?" he asked blinking the tears back. 

"Nico was a vampire child. He grew to the age of 5 and stopped growing any older. He was taking into a foster family and you forgot anthing about them." Stefan added. 

"so he's out there, my son, trapped in the age of five forever and no one has let me save him?!" Damon yelled standing up. " I'm his father! And i intended to be a better Father to him than our own was to us!" he pushed past stefan and ran after Callie. 

"uncle Damon!" she yelled as he grabbed her hand spinning her to face him. 

"who is Nico?!" he shouted. 

"Just a child i mind, Nico Petrova. Why?!" she explained.

"Petrova?! Take me there! now! callie you have to take me to Nico!" He shouted and she nodded . They started to run in the direction of Nico's house and banged on the door.

A Small toddler answered the door looking up at them. The boy had Icey blue eyes and little curly brown hair on his head, the image of an angel. "Nico?" he asked smiling down at the boy. 

"where's your mommy?" Asked Callie. the boy pointed out back and she ran through the house to see Elena gilbert lying on the kitchen floor and Niklaus standing over her. "Take the boy before i get annoyed with him!" he yelled. 

"uncle Damon! Grab Nico and Run!" she cried running out of the house. Damon swept Nico in his arms and ran as fast as he could back the boarding house. The boy with gurgling and laughing sweetly as he bounced on the bed.
