Stefan softly patted Damon's shoulder sympathetically. "Okay
Fine I'll Do It Damon..." Stefan Said As Baby Mackenzie's Cries
Grew Louder And Bounced Off The Walls. Damon nodded his head
thankful for his younger brother Stefan during this moment. "Hey
Uh Can you hand me a bottle of my favorite bourbon Steffo?" Damon
Asked "Damon— Okay Fine You look like you need it and it sounds like
you need it too Damon." Stefan Said Handing Him A Glass Bottle Of His
Favorite Bourbon And Then Walked Out With The First Aid Kit In His Hand
And Walked Upstairs To His Older Brother Damon's Room And Knocked On
The door even though the door was open as he stood in the doorway. Beth ran
a hand through her hair stressed as she couldn't seem to get her and Damon's
baby girl to stop crying and calm down this time and take a nap as she looked
at the doorway and saw Damon's younger brother Stefan standing there. "Uh
Hi..." Beth Mumbled. "Hello I'm Stefan Salvatore Damon's Younger Brother."
Stefan Introduced Himself. "Uh Huh What do you want?! I—I'm stressed right
now!" Beth Said "Hmm I definitely didn't notice that you're stressed right now
here let me help heal your neck Beth." Stefan Said Taking A Few Steps Closer To
Beth Who was still holding a very fussy baby Mackenzie. "N—No It's fine don't..."
Beth Added Backing Up From Stefan. "Beth— Damon told me to." Stefan Added
"Y—Yeah Well I—I don't trust you! Y—You'll hurt me too even if I plead with you
not to like I did Damon and he still hurt me which he promised me he'd never do,
he even promised my adoptive mom he'd never hurt me..." Beth Held Back Tears.
"Beth It's okay come here I won't hurt you I just want to help heal your neck okay?"
Stefan Reassured. Beth shook her head no and continued to backup away from him
scared that he's also going to hurt her and she also has to lookout for and protect her
daughter baby Mackenzie too. "Beth, Please Damon Is Crying And Pleading For Help
And For You To Trust Him, He really loves you and didn't mean to hurt you, he was
controlled by Amara." Stefan Said "I—I Can't I—I'm Scared Okay?! I—I'm Scared And
Y—You don't get it! N—No One Gets It! I—I'm Stressed And I—I'm Scared And I—I..."
Beth Tried To find the right words as she breathed heavily trying to not breakdown.
"I—I'm not good for him, I—I'm not good for anyone actually...I—I can't help him Stefan
I—I Can't I—I Really Can't!" Beth Cried Into her hand muffling her cries as she held onto
baby Mackenzie with her free arm. "Hey, Beth No No No don't say...You are good for him,
I mean you both wouldn't have Kenzie If that was the case." Stefan Said, Tries to calm her
down. "Hah Yeah Right...You know I'm done with your lies Stefan You don't even know me,
You don't know what I did, You don't know what I've endured and suffered so just stop with
the you are good for him crap because it's just not true at all and I don't feel like opening up
to you about anything I just I want to be left alone so can you please take Kenzie to Damon
Even though he did hurt me accident or not he still deserves to be around his daughter and
see her I know he loves her even more than he loves me which I don't blame him for like at
all I'm honestly surprised he doesn't hate me because I—I do...I—I hate me! Um Y—You Can
Go Now Stefan." Beth Said Still Crying Into her hand muffling her cries, her voice breaking
as she handed an upset, cranky, fussy, crying baby Mackenzie over to her uncle Stefan to go
see her dada Damon. "I—It's okay go with your uncle Stefan to go see your dada baby Kenzie."
Beth Whispered Softly Kissing Baby Mackenzie's Head Before she nodded at Stefan for him to
take her and leave. Stefan takes baby Mackenzie, taking her to her dad/his older brother. "Damon,
Kenzie wants to see you." Stefan Said As the unexpected happened, Kenzie started to float/levitate
towards Damon and into his arms. "Whoa, Stefan How'd You Manage To Get Her Here To Me That
Fast Stef...?" He asked his younger brother looking at him. "Uh Beth wanted me to bring her to you,
She wanted to be alone right now, She said you still deserve to be around your daughter and see her
well she said quite a bit more than that but not that much but I don't know if I can tell you the other
things she said but I'm sure you probably heard what she said thanks to vampire hearing..." Stefan
Said "Oh And Uh Don't be mad but she refused to drink my blood to heal her neck and I couldn't Uh
really force her to, she wouldn't let me get that close to her so I couldn't clean the blood off her neck
either I'm sorry Damon." Stefan Added. Damon calms baby Mackenzie down holding her as she sighed
at his girlfriend Beth's stubbornness. "I'll try to convince her, but thanks anyway." He Said Beth started
walking down the steps of the stairs quietly but stopped as she heard "You're welcome Damon I'll leave
you and Kenzie to bond I'm going out." Stefan Said "Oooooh Who you going out to go see Steffo?" Damon
Asked Teasingly. "Elena My Girlfriend Why?" Stefan Asked "Oh Oh Oh Elena I love you so much, you are
the only one for me blah blah blah!" Damon Said Smirking 😏 "Oh Shut Up Damon Elena Is My Girlfriend
So Why Wouldn't I Love Her?!?" Stefan Asked "Touché And I don't blame you Stef Elena Is So Pretty And
Sweet And She's Kinda Hot And Sexy Like Katherine..." Damon Added. Beth felt her heart break hearing
that. "Damon—" Stefan Added In A Warning Tone And Then Walked Up To His Room To Make Sure That
His Diary Was Hidden Before He left for Elena's As Beth ran back into Damon's room and shut the door
behind her as she slid down onto the floor crying and sobbing into her hand muffling her cries and sobs.
Damon kissed baby Mackenzie's head, then went upstairs. "Beth, Love...Are you alright?" He Asked Her.
Beth shut her eyes trying to drown out everything her feelings, Damon, What Damon just said about Elena
Whoever Elena Is When She had a flashback of her adoptive dad always being impressed by Milliah and in
awe of Milliah and not her when he never was impressed by anything she did, she was reminded about how
much her adoptive dad Steve loved Milliah and preferred her over her his adoptive daughter, the voices in
Beth's head yelled at her. "He'd Save Milliah Over You If he had to choose that's what he told your mom Nat
and Aunt Wanda, If It was between you and Milliah And he had to choose he'd always choose Milliah Just
Like Damon If given the choice he'd always choose Elena and Katherine not you! You are nothing to them!
You are nothing to Steve except a disappointment and Milliah makes him proud, remember when he made
you apologize for just talking to your best friend Ally ( Swiftie_Aria   1arianna_writes1   Crazy_Rade ) about
how much he loves Milliah and how he's so impressed by her and he's never been impressed by you and he
doesn't care about you and neither does Damon He cares about Elena and Katherine and baby Mackenzie
While Your Dad Cares About Milliah Not You! They wouldn't care if you hurt yourself or if you were dying
right now so do it you know you want to Bethany Do It!" Beth tried to ignore and block out the voices in her
head but it was so hard that she eventually gave in and got up off the floor and walked into the bathroom
connected to Damon's room and locked that door behind her. "Beth, Love!" Damon Said As he headed to
the bathroom connected to his room, he kicked the door open with baby Kenzie in his arms and saw Beth.
"No! No! No! Beth, Stop What You're Doing Right Now!" He Yelled. Beth was fixing to hurt herself but then
twirled around scared, alarmed when she heard Damon kick the door open and yell at her. 'Ugh Why Did He
Have to stop me?!' She Thought Annoyed As she looked at Damon her eyes glowing a orangish/reddish color
like fire as a fireball formed in her hand. "N—No! S—Stay Back! N—No D—Don't call me love I—I heard what
you said Damon And D—Don't Yell At Me I—It's Not Helping..." Beth Said "A—And Why Must I Stop?! A—And
W—Why Do You Even Care?!" Beth Asked Turning Back Around Looking At Herself In The Mirror As she also
saw Damon and baby Kenzie behind her in the mirror too. "Because Of What We Did, We Made Kenzie...I'm
Sorry for what I did and said, I'm sorry for yelling at you but please believe me when I say that I really do love
you and our little girl dearly and I don't want her to grow up without her brave, strong, sometimes stubborn,
beautiful mother, I mean it with all of my heart I'm sorry." Damon Said "Damon I'm sad and depressed and
talking about our problems isn't going to help so let's go to the living room and sit on the couch and you can
talk and I'll just listen right now okay? No I'm sorry for being like this, I'm sorry for my feelings I know they
can be a bit much, I'm sorry for being mad at you I hate being mad at you but I just I can't forget and forgive easily because of my past, I have trust issues and you knew this, I'm sorry for being depressed and sad, I'm
sorry for being scared of you but I couldn't help it, I'm sorry for existing, I'm sorry for being your girlfriend
because I'm horrible at being your girlfriend, I'm sorry for being so jumpy around you recently I'm trying not
to be scared of you but I can't not be scared of you I—I'm sorry...H—Hey! Damon! I'm sad and depressed don't
be mean calling me stubborn!" Beth Said "I'm not brave, strong, beautiful I'm really not I—I'm so scared but I
am a mother though so you got that one right." Beth kind of made a joke but she didn't laugh or giggle or even
smile at her own joke. "Well, You are a little bit stubborn even when you won't admit it." Damon Said As they
went downstairs, he calmed Kenzie down for a final time. "Hey! No I'm Not! Be Nice!" Beth Said Pouting As
Damon grabbed another glass of his favorite bourbon and then walked over to Beth Who was already sitting
on the couch. Beth looked up at Damon and sighed. "You're lucky that you don't have to breastfeed because
you can have bourbon I'd really like a drink right now but I can't it could affect my milk supply but I kinda
like doing the breastfeeding thing though because that way mothers can have one on one time with their
babies that way and it gives mothers and their babies chances to have a good bond with each other Kenzie
was scared too and I—I didn't want her to be scared or afraid of you and not want anything to do with you
because you're her daddy and she needs you too so that's why I let Stefan take her to you and I was also...
really stressed and breaking down which I didn't want Kenzie to see I have to be strong for her or at least
try to be..." Beth Added. Damon was listening to her as he took a big swig of his bourbon and swallowed it,
kissed Beth's head. Beth Mackenzie started to whine and reach for her mama Beth. "I can't wait to hear her
talk hi baby Kenzie I'm right here okay? Why don't you let daddy keep holding you? Daddy wants to love on
you too sweetie." Beth Said Softly. Baby Mackenzie shook her head no and suddenly floated/levitated herself
up into the air and into Beth's arms and then she started babbling and trying to talk to her. "Mmm...Aaaah!"
Beth held baby Mackenzie up on her lap and started talking to her in a baby voice feeling a bit better. "Ohhh
Where's Mama? Peekaboo!" Baby Mackenzie smiled real big and giggled cutely as she looked at her mama
Beth playing peekaboo with her. "Maaa—" Baby Mackenzie Tried To Say Mama. "Yesss Kenz Where's Mama?
Peekaboo! H—Hey Kenzie Where's Mama? Peekaboo!" Beth continued playing peekaboo with her and softly
booped baby Mackenzie's nose. "M—M—Maaaa!" Baby Mackenzie Babbled And Squealed Getting Closer To
Saying Mama. "Nooo baby Kenzie say dada don't say mama say dada yeah you better say dada come on Kenz
Say Dada." Damon Said, Started talking in baby talk to Kenzie too. "Daaaa— Ma—Ma—Maaaaaaaaaa!" Baby
Mackenzie Squealed Teasing Damon. Damon Pouted. "I swear she's your kid..." He Added. Beth smiled and
giggled. "It ain't my fault that this kid loves peekaboo and loves her mama and her mama's milky so much I
told you breastfeeding bonds mothers and their babies." Beth Said Shrugging, Grinning "And She's Our Kid
Here why don't you try to hold her and play peekaboo with her and see if it works for you." Beth Added And
Damon nodded his head and accepted Beth's challenge and reached out to take baby Mackenzie from her Uh
mama but she swerved him and turned away from him grabbing onto her mama clinging to her but soon Beth
eventually hands her over to Damon and he stands her up on his lap like Beth did and tried to play peekaboo
with her but she didn't laugh or smile she just looked at him and realized that it wasn't her mama that had
her now so she looked around trying to find her mama again. "Ma—Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!" Baby Mackenzie
Cried And Screamed So Damon Gave her back to her mama Beth and then baby Mackenzie stopped crying
and screaming as she looked at her mama grinning "Aww Are you a little mama's girl Kenzie?" Beth Asked
Softly. Baby Mackenzie nodded and laid her head down on Beth's chest as she held onto her mama's boob.
"Hey Kenzie You little stinker!" Damon Said As he saw baby Mackenzie hold onto her mama's boob. Baby
Mackenzie glanced at Damon grinning and squealed giggling and then looked back up at her mama and
screamed out "Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Mamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
And Then She glanced back at Damon with what looked like a smirk on her face and laid her head back
down on Beth's chest still giggling. Damon looks at her then at Beth. "Yeah, She's definitely yours." He
Said Still Pouting Beth looks down smiling at baby Mackenzie and then looks at Damon. "Hmm Well...
Maybe Our next baby will be a dada's baby." Beth Said Trying To Make Damon feel better as she patted
his shoulder softly. Baby Mackenzie lifted her head back up looking at Damon her dada and then at her
mama Beth holding onto her, clinging to her again as she looked back at Damon with a smirk on her face
and said "My Mamaaa!" Beth's smile grew wider as she giggled. "Hey would you like a baby sibling when
you're a little bigger and older baby Kenzie?" Beth Asked In A Baby Voice. "Baby! Baby! Baby! My Mamaaa
Hehehe!" Baby Mackenzie Squealed Giggling Beth Grinned At Damon. "Oh She's so me you're in trouble now
since you have both of us to deal with Damon." Beth Added With A Smirk On Her Face Giggling "I'll be fine...
honestly, my love." Damon Said As he kissed her head. "Are you sure? D—Do you not want to have another
baby with me Damon?" Beth Asked Looking Down Sadly As Baby Mackenzie looked up at her mama's face
and could sense that she's sad. "Mamaaa Sad Make Mamaaa Be Happy Daaadaaa!" Baby Mackenzie Said
Beth softly and gently hugged baby Mackenzie trying to snap out of her sadness and depression right now.
"Help Mamaaa Daaadaaa Help Mamaaa!" Baby Mackenzie Added As she laid her head down on Beth's chest
and listened to the sound of her heartbeat which started beating at a quick pace and it was kinda loud as Beth
tried to take deep breaths trying to not have a panic attack which she felt coming "Hey, love deep breaths I do
want another baby I do." Damon Said Softly. "Y—You Do? Y—You want another baby?" Beth Asked Breathing
Shakily. "I—I'm sorry for being like this, I—I'm sorry Damon I—I'm sorry Kenzie I—I Mama's Okay...O—Okay
Baby? D—Don't Worry Mama's Okay Baby." Beth Mumbled Trying To Convince Herself That She's Okay. Baby
Mackenzie looked up at her mama and gave her a big kiss on her cheek that was a little bit slobbery. "Mama's
Okay?" Baby Mackenzie Asked Quietly. "Yes mama's okay baby and mama loves you so much!" Beth Said And
Then Smirked As An Idea Popped Into her head as she whispered in Kenzie's ear. "Hey Give dada a big wet
slobbery kiss on his cheek kenz." Baby Mackenzie nodded and leaned over to Damon and gave him a big wet
slobbery kiss on his cheek like her mama told her to with a smirk on her face as she giggled and pulled away.
"Hahaha! What are you going to do with us Salvatore?" Beth Asked Damon Still Smirking 😏 Damon tackled
Beth and baby Kenzie down on the couch. "This." He Said As he tickles both of them smirking evilly at them.
"Hahahahahaha Noooooooo Damonnnnnnnnn Whyyyyyyyyy?! You know how ticklish I am hehehehehehe!"
Beth Squealed As she giggled and squirmed. Baby Mackenzie giggled and squirmed just like her mama Beth.
"Nooo Eek Dadaaa Nooo Hahahahahaha! Aaaah Mamaaa Helppp Hehehehehehe!" Baby Mackenzie Squealed.
Beth started kicking her feet at Damon trying to make him stop tickling them not even thinking about her feet
and toes being very ticklish but then she thought about that and her feet started to retreat and stop kicking at
Damon As she tried to keep her feet and toes away from him. "D—Damonnnnnnnnn N—Nooooooooooooooo!
Leave my feet and toes aloneee pleaseee hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I—I'm sorry for kicking at youuuuuuuuu pleaseeeeeeeee!" Beth Squealed And Pleaded. "Mama's Feetsiesssss And Toesiesssss

Damon tickling her and her mama Beth. Damon stopped tickling both of them. "There, I've had my fun with
