November 1st 1847 10 PM, Mystic Falls Virginia 

Damon Salvatore sits on the couch in the living room trying to ignore the screams coming from his parent's bedroom. Today was the day he would be meeting his younger sibling, his father claimed that it would be a boy because he couldn't produce girls. At the age of seven, Damon didn't know much about the birthing process except for it was very dangerous, some women did not survive the painful event. The dark-haired boy was praying as hard as he could for God to protect his mother and his sibling, it had been hours since his mother had gone into labor and with each passing minute, he worried. The sound of his father's voice screaming causes him to stand watching him fight with the town's doctor in the hallway.

"what do you mean twins? you told me there was only one heartbeat!"

"it's impossible to know for sure until labor Mr. Salvatore, now all we can do is thank god the first one is safe and pray for the second baby" The doctor speaks quickly, Damon watches as his father angrily walks away and towards him.

"Damon watch the house I'm going for a stroll" The young boy nods his head and waits a few minutes for his father to leave the property, once out of sight he stands and walks slowly down the hallway trying to block out the sound of his mothers cries. He peaks his head out behind the door and spots several handmaidens taking care of his mother while one cradles something in her arms. The doctor rushes to clean up the bleeding from his mother as he talks her through the next steps of the birthing process. Lilly Salvatores's eyes find her son and she smiles through the pain.

"Damon darling come here I need to talk to you" she states softly holding her shaking hand out to her son, he slowly moves over to her bedside and grasps her soft hand in his own staring into her tired eyes.

"yes mom?"

"you remember how we discussed your new role as a big brother?"

"yes"

"well I have incredible news, now you're going to have two little siblings to look after" 

"two?" he asks wondering how in the world that was going to work, he was worried about just one not to mention another 

"yes Damon two"

"where is the other one?" Damon asks eyeing the baby wrapped up in a blanket sleeping in the handmaiden's arms

"the other one is still in my tummy"

"is it ok?"

"yes the baby is fine, she's just taking a bit longer to join us"

"she?"

"well I don't know for sure" 

"I always wanted a sister" the young boy smiles picturing a little baby with raven black hair just like his

"I know darling, now listen Damon I need you to go with that nice woman right there and take care of your brother" Lilly states as another contraction rips through her body, she does her best to remain calm as to not scare her son. Damon follows the handmaiden out of the room and they take a seat on the couch.
