9 Months of Hell Chapter 12

9 Months of Hell Chapter 12 Epolodgue

18 years later

Lilly stood infront of a large mirror as her mom tied the remaining strings together on her dress. Lilly smiled as she marveled at her glowing white wedding dress. Beautiful strips of gold hung on the sides and the rest was white with a flower attached to the middle of it. Lilly looked down at sliver shoes she wore that would sparkle like a million diamonds when touched by sunlight. She turned around to face her mother's happy grin as she kissed her on the cheek. "I can't believe you're getting married!" 

Lilly just smiled. "I can't believe it either."

Katherine sighed happily. "I remember the first day you were born. Your dad was so protective of you that it took him awhile to give you back to the nurses."

Lilly laughed. "I can imagine."

"Those doctors are lucky I didn't rip their throat out when they tried to take you away from me."

Lilly and Katherine both turned and saw Damon standing in the doorway, a sad look in his eye. This was it. His daughter was getting married. No matter how many times he killed them, they kept coming back. It was like a disease he couldn't get rid of. "You look beautiful Lilly."

"Thank you Daddy." Lilly walked over to him and gave him a hug. Damon hugged her back, trying to keep the tears at bay. He was going to miss his little girl so much. But he knew that she would be taken care of. 

The door opened and Lilly's best friend Ally walked in, followed by Stefan and Elena. "Ally, oh my gosh!" Lilly ran over to her and hugged her tight. "You look beautiful." 

Ally smiled at her, her white bride's maid dress glowing. "Thanks, you look stunning."

"I can't believe we're having a double wedding!" 

Ally grinned. "Hey, our parents are the ones who worked it out."

Stefan walked over to Ally and kissed her. Ally kissed him back, "Oh Daddy, I'm going to miss you."

"Call me everyday?" 

"Of course."

Elena couldn't hold back her tears anymore and started to cry. Ally was at her side in a flash. "Oh Mom, don't cry."

Elena wiped at her eyes with a tissue. "I'm sorry sweetie. I'm just so happy for you two!"

Lilly put an arm around her cousin. "We can't wait to turn our husbands so we can be with them forever."

"You gave them the rings right?"

The girls nodded at Damon. "Those are the wedding rings."

Katherine looked at her watch. "Well, I guess we better get going. It's about to start."

Stefan nodded as he took Ally's hand. "Ready?"

Ally smiled as the music started playing. "Ready."

All eyes were on Ally and Stefan as they walked down the red rug covered in flowers and up the steps where Ally's soon-to-be husband, Matt was waiting. Stefan let go of Ally's arm and went to go sit next to Damon who was sitting by Ally. Ally smiled up at Matt who was smiling back to her as the preacher was talking. "Wil you take Ally to be your wife? To have and to hold in sickness and in health?"

Matt smiled. "I do."

Ally smiled and slid the ring onto Matt's finger as she said "I do."

The newly wedded couple kissed passionately and a round of applause rang out from the altar. Lilly smiled with tears in her eyes at her cousin who was happily married and soon she would be too. Damon looked at his happy daughter. Soon she too would be married to a guy that wasn't good enough for her. Even if she was going to turn him that still didn't matter. No boy was good enough for his daughter.

"Daddy? Are you ready?" Damon looked at Lilly and all he could see was that innocent little girl who changed his life forever.

Flashback

Three year old Lilly walked around the boarding house, looking for her parents. "Mommy?" She walked down the winding and twisting hallways with her pink blanket and her teddy bear with the red ribbon tied to its ear. She walked down the hallway and turned to go into the living room where she saw Stefan sitting on the couch reading the newspaper. "Uncle Stefan?" 

Stefan looked up from his newspaper and saw his niece standing infront of him. "Yes?" 

"Where's my mommy and daddy?"

"I don't know about Mommy but Daddy's right here." Lilly turned around to see Damon leaning against the wall, smirking. "What do you want?"

Lilly smiled. "Well, Mommy puts me to bed now and she reads me a bedtime story. But she's not here."

Damon walked towards her. "So do you want me to read you a bedtime story?"

Lilly nodded excitely. "Yes please!"

Damon picked up Lilly and set her on his shoulders. "Anything my princess wants she gets." Lilly giggled as she grabbed his hair. Damon grinned wildly. "So do you want me to walk up the stairs or do you want me to run?"

"Run!" exclaimed Lilly. Stefan watched the two disappear with Lilly's squeals of delight echoing in the house.

"Damon, you really have changed, no matter how much you want to deny it." Stefan smiled to himself as he picked up the newspaper and continued reading.

The door of Lilly's room hit the wall with a bang as Damon entered and threw his daughter on her princess bed. Lilly laughed as she hit the soft matrress and Damon was at her side in a flash. "I'll tell you one of my bedtime stories."

"Ok!" Lilly chirped happily.

Damon pulled up a chair and sat in it, grimincing a little from the repulsive pink that covered the chair. "It all started a long time ago. This story takes place in the year 1864, where your mother and I first met. She was a vampire and I was a human, but we fell in love with each other. She also loved my brother too, so we often fought over who would be with her. Then one day, the town exposed your mother and the sceret council captured her and a bunch of other vampires. They're called vampire slayersor, atleast that's what I call them." 

Lilly's eyes widened. "Why did the people do that?"

"Because nobody likes vampires and they still don't. Anyways, after they rounded up all the vampires they took them to a church and lit it on fire, killing every vampire that was caught. However, a witch named Emily cast a spell and put the vampires in a tomb to protrct them and seal them in there. She did that because I thought that Katherine was in the church and I begged her to do it and in return I would make sure that her linige would survive. Luckily, your mother wasn't in the church or the tomb like we thought. She managed to escape and soon we were reunited again. The end." Damon kissed his daughter and tucked her in, putting her bear right next to her and turning on her night light. He walked out of the room. 

"Daddy." Lilly's small voice stopped Damon and he went back in. "Are there still vampire slayers here?"

Damon nodded. "Of course there is. They just don't know that vampires are in this town. If they did then we would all be dead."

Lilly whimpered slightly. "I don't want no vampire slayers to get me."

Damon stared at her and then he grew serious. "Lilly, I would die before I let that happen. No human will touch as long as I'm alive. I'm make sure of that."

Damon quietly shut the door to his daughter's room and walked to his bedroom. He opened the door and saw Katherine lying in bed. "Hey." Katherine smiled up at him. "Lilly's in bed?"

Damon nodded. "Told her a bedtime story."

Katherine smiled as Damon slid into bed next to her. "You're such a good daddy."

"Oh yes I am." Damon kissed Katherine long and hard, devouring the sweet taste of her mouth. Katherine moaned as she kissed Damon back, moving her hands up to his face and pushing him back onto the feathery sheets. Damon moaned in content, his fangs started to ache and come to the surface. Suddenly Katherine stopped kissing him and rolled over on her side of the bed. Damon looked at her, confused. "Kathy, why did you stop?"

"I'm tired." came her simple reply.

Damon stared at her in shock. "So you did that just to torture me?"

Katherine grinned. "Yes."

Damon's eyes flashed red as he grabbed Katherine and turned her to face him but she had him by the throat in a matter of seconds. She giggled as she breathed down his throat. "Not tonight baby. I'm really tired. But I'll make it up to you tomorrow I promise."

Damon smirked. "You better."

Katherine flashed him a sly smile as she turned over and fell asleep. Damon laid there for a minute, trying to get some sleep but found out that he wasn't able to. A squeak of the door nearly made Damon jump out of his skin as he looked towards the door and saw no other then Lilly standing there, looking a bit shaken up. "What are you doing in here? You almost gave me a heart attack!" 

Lilly jumped at the sound of her dad's angry voice and looked at him with scared eyes. "I sorry Daddy."

Damon immeditiately softened at the sound of his daughter's voice and looked at her with concern. "What's wrong?"

"I had a bad dream." she sniffled, holding her teddy bear closer to her. 

Damon immeditiately got out of bed and picked up his distraught daughter. He wrapped the pink blanket she was holding around her and got into bed with her on his chest. "Lilly, look at me." Damon softly swiped at the tears running down her face. "It's ok." he whispered softly.

"I had a dream that the vampire slayers caught us and they killed you and Mommy."

Damon wrapped his arms around his baby girl and held her close to him as he softly stroked her light chocolate hair. "That is never going to happen. Nobody is going to hurt me or your mother and they are defenitey not going to lay a finger on you."

Lilly nodded and sunggled into Damon's chest. "Go to sleep." Damon whispered softly as he kissed his daughter and slowly joined her in dream world.

End of flashback

Damon stared at his now fully grown daughter and couldn't believe that so much time has pasted. Didn't he just bring her home from the hospital a few days ago? "Daddy?"

Damon snapped out of his trance and looked at his daughter. "Yes?"

"You'll walk me down the isle right?"

Damon looked at her baffled. "Of course I will! What would make you think otherwise?"

She looked at him nervously. "Because you don't like the guy that I'm about to marry."

Damon was about to tell her that he hated all of the guys she tried to go out with or marry but he decided not to. "I will still walk you down the isle."

Lilly nodded happily and hugged her dad. "Thank you Daddy."

Damon smiled. "Anytime."


Matt and Ally walked into their wedding reception. Galas of food and other fine culinury foods covered a long table with a white cloth on it with a huge wedding cake sitting in the middle. Hords of people were already on the dance floor and were swaying to the music. Ally took Matt's hand in hers and together they went go enjoy their first dance as husband and wife.

Stefan and Elena watched from a distance. Elena sighed happily as she turned to Stefan. "Remember when she was born?"

Stefan nodded as he smiled. "How can I forget?"

Flashback

Elena sat on the couch in her living room, tears running down her face and splattering on the red carpet. "How did this happen?" she asked herself.

"How did what happen?"

Elena looked to see Stefan standing by the entry way. She sniffed back some tears as she stared at him, unsure of how to break the news. "Stefan, there's something I need to tell you but I can't."

Stefan came closer to Elena and held her close, feeling her body shudder with sobs. "Elena, you can tell me anything."

"No I can't. Not this." 

Elena, what is so bad that you're afraid to tell me?"

"I'm pregnant."

The room fell to a dead silence as the only sounds of Elena's breathing can be heard. Finally Stefan spoke, "How did this happen?"

Elena choked back a sob. "I don't know."

Stefan pulled Elena closer to him, holding her in his arms and lightly kissed her forehead. "Hey, it's going to be ok."

They sat there for awhile, Elena crying and Stefan holding her close to him. Finally, Elena calmed down and pulled away from Stefan. "I guess I should start taking the Morning After Pill, or is it too late for that?"

Stefan looked at Elena shocked. "You're planning on getting an abortion?"

Elena nodded. "I thought you would want me too."

Stefan shook his head. "Elena, I want this child. I know this may come as a shock to you considering the way I acted when Damon found out Katherine was pregnant but this is different, knowing that newborn vampires aren't as leathal as we thought and plus this will be a human baby also. It won't be all vampire."

"So if it was a full-blooded vampire then you wouldn't want it?"

"No, that's not what I'm saying. I want to be a dad. I never realized how much until Damon and Katherine had their child. I guess you could say I was jealous."

Elena looked at Stefan for a long time before taking his hand in hers. "I feel the same way."

Stefan smiled. "Atleast our child will have a playmate to play with."

Elena laughed. "I wonder how they will react."

"They'll probably be in shock that I'm not wanting to kill it."

Elena wrapped her arms around Stefan's neck and laid her head on his chest. "I love you."

"I love you too."

End of flashback

Stefan kissed Elena. "That was an amazing day."

Elena nodded. "Sure was."

Stefan looked at all of the people dancing to a slow song and offered his hand to Elena. "Would you like to dance with me?"

Elena smiled and laughed a little as she took it. "Certainly Mr. Salvatore."

Lilly put the finishing touches on her hair, making sure it looked perfect. This is it, she thought to herself as she ran a brush lightly through her hair. After today I'm going to be offically married to the man of my dreams.

The door creeped open behind her, startling her a little. She turned around and saw her dad standing there, looking a bit in a daze and sort of lost. "Hi Dad." Lilly walked over to him and smiled, "what brings you back here?"

Damon cleared his throat. "I just wanted to see you before you became married."

Lilly could instantly see the sadness hidden behind her dad's barriers. She knew that this was probably the most hardest thing he ever had to face in his life. She pulled Damon into a tight hug. "I know this is very hard for you Daddy but I want you to remember something, I'll always be your little girl."

Damon smiled as he kissed his daughter. "I know you will."

Katherine came running into the room. "It's starting!" 

Lilly took her dad's hand and together they walked out into the altar where they were greeted by all of these people's faces. Damon could've sworn that the rug shunk in size as he neared the steps where Tyler waited. Tyler took Lilly's hand as she walked up the steps and onto the podium. They each were handed the rings and slid them onto each other, both beaming with exbulerance. "Miss Salvatore, do you take Tyler Lockwood to be your husband?"

"I do." said Lilly happily, smiling at her new husband.

"And Mr. Lockwood, do you take Lilly Salvatore to be your wife?"

Tyler smirked. "I do but I already have."

Lilly couldn't hold back anymore and leaped into his arms, kissing him all over. Tyler smiled as they broke away and looked into the eyes of his new wife. "I love you."

Damon watched this with utter disgust. He couldn't believe that his daughter would want to marry a werewolf of all things. Then again, she didn't really have a choice since he imprinted on her and she fell in love with him. Damon smirked, remembering that day like it was yesterday. If he had his way back then, then that wolf wouldn't be standing.

Flashback

Lilly giggled as she ran around the house, getting her toys together and anything else she needed. Tonight she was going to spend time with her favorite person ever, Tyler. She really liked Tyler, especially since he could turn into a dog. She loved playing on his back and sliding down his tail. Damon peeked his head in to see his five year old daughter putting her toys in a bag. "And what are you doing?"

"I'm gonna go see Tyler! Mommy said I could!"

Damon walked into her room and helped her put the rest of her toys in the bag. "You really like spending time with him don't you?"

She nodded, her blue eyes sparkling like the morning ocean. "Yes!"

Damon nodded, tying the bag together and handing it to her as the doorbell rang. "Tyler!" she squealed happily as she raced down the stairs and swung open the front door. 

"Hey kid." Tyler ruffled Lilly's hair and latched onto his body. "Ok ok." laughed Tler as he picked her up. Lilly sunggled into his warm skin and smiled. 

"Hey Tyler." Tyler looked up at Damon who was approaching him. "Can we talk?"

"Sure." He set Lilly down and went over to Damon who lead him out of the house. 

Once they were outside, Damon let his distaste for Tyler show it's true colors. "Ok, mutt. What has been going on with you and my daughter?"

Tyler shurgged. "Nothing really. We just really like each other. She considers me a big brother."

Damon nodded as he continued the glare at him. "Watch yourself dog."

Tyler nodded as he smirked at Damon. "I will until she gets old enough to be in a relationship. Then the imprinting can really go into effect."

Damon's eyes flashed with death. "What did you do?"

Tyler smirked. "You mean you didn't know? It was kinda obvious when she wouldn't stop following me around like a lost puppy."

Damon was so mad he was seeing red. He wanted to rip that mongruel to bits but couldn't do that because of the people it would upset. Mainly his daughter. He settled for giving Tyler the punching of his life. Tyler allowed Damon a freebie punch before blocking the rest and kicking Damon in the stomach. Damon growled animal-like and was about to break Tyler's jaw when Katherine appeared and grabbed Damon by the arm. "Damon stop."

Damon looked at Katherine with murder written all over his face. "Do you have any idea what this idiot did? He imprinted on our child!"

Katherine nodded. "He could've waited a few more years to do it but I guess it's better to form relationships early."

"You mean you're ok with this?" Damon couldn't believe what his wife was saying. 

"I admit I was pretty ticked off at first but then I got used to the idea and thought it was for the best. I mean, who would protect our daughter better then a wolf?"

"The devil." replied Damon, glaring at Tyler.

Katherine sighed. "You can be mad about it but either way Lilly loves Tyler to death. You wouldn't want to make her upset by killing Tyler now would you?"

"She'll get over it eventually."

Katherine whacked him upside the head. "Stop it Damon. Now if you're done beating up Tyler then go inside the house and get Lilly."

"I'll do it." Tyler offered while recieving the death glare from Damon.

"Thank you Tyler." Tyler walked back towards the house and came out carrying Lilly. Katherine saw that look in Damon's eye and put her hand on his shoulder. "Let it be Damon."

Damon unwillingly listened to his wife and refrained from tearing apart Tyler. He watched as the two disappeared into the distance with a devastating look on his face, knowing that Katherine was right and that Lilly would be best protected with him.

End of flashback

Lilly and Tyler came down the isle, hand in hand and smiling like no tomorrow. Damon walked up to them slowly, eyes locked on Tyler as he slowly extented his hand. "Best wishes to you and my daughter." he muttered to where only Tyler and Lilly could hear.

Tyler nodded as he took Damon's hand and shook it hard. "Thanks man."

Damon smirked. "No problem mutt."

Katherine walked up and hugged Tyler. "I know you'll keep our daughter safe."

Tyler hugged Katherine back. "Thank you. And yes I will."

Lilly smiled up at Tyler. "Lets go have our first dance together."

Tyler smiled. "After you, Miss Lockwood."

Lilly giggled as they walked into their wedding reception, which was the same as Ally's and Matt's. After the anounner introduced them, they both stepped onto the dance and swayed to the beat of the song. Tyler held Lilly close to him as he started kissing her neck. Lilly smiled as she laid her head on Tyler's huge chest. "This is amazing." she whispered, completely lost in the moment.

Tyler stroked Lilly's delicate hair. "I know. And I'm happy to spend it with you."

Lilly smiled in pure bliss. "So am I."

They shared a passionate kiss in the middle of the dance floor, lights shining on them and making their skin glow with different colors. Katherine and Damon watched them from a distance, both in shock at how much time has past. "I can't believe she's married." Katherine looked at Damon who was keeping a keen eye on Tyler. "Damon stop it. He's already said that no harm will come to Lilly. We're just going to have to believe that and besides she loves him."

Damon sighed as the truth played out infront of him before his eyes. "I guess you're right."

Katherine smirked as she kissed Damon. "I'm always right."

Damon watched as the song ended and everybody when to go eat. He smiled lightly as Tyler spilled punch all over his tux and Lilly started laughing at him. His daughter's future was safe and happy, that much he could tell.
