The Delena Dilemma: A Vampire Diaries Fanfic *Completed*

When They Meet.

"It's—there's a girl in here?"

She laughs and nods.

"Unless someone altered my sex in the past."

Eww.

"How old are you?"

"Eight."

"And you said that Damon's not in your future? How? How did he—

"That I don't know. Nobody won't talk to me about it. Especially you. It's very frustrating mom."

I sniffled and wiped my face, "You called me mom."

She chuckles, "Because you're my mother."

"You know, when I was slipping in and out of consciousness, I could've swore I heard someone say "mommy."

"Well, I haven't called you mommy since I was five, but you did once tell me that when I was in your womb, we could hear each other's thoughts."

"Really?"

"We can't do it anymore, but it was once a thing."

"Okay, so what did I name you? Because I had a couple of ideas..."

"My full name is Alexia Jenn Salvatore. I like to go by Lex."

"Alexia... Lexi! Stefan's Lexi?"

She nods.

"Somewhere between him founding out about me and him dying, he told Uncle Stefan he wanted to name me after her. He also said that dad wanted to nickname me Lex. So, when I was old enough, that's what I wanted to be called."

"Well that was unlikely sweet of him. He was horrible to Lexi."

She looked past me and ducked down.

"They're coming. You can't say anything about this."

"What?!?"

"Please mom, just until we get back to the boarding house."

"Actually we're staying with Matt at the Lockwood Mansion."

"Promise me you won't say anything until we get to the mansion then."

I gave in, "Fine."

She laid back down and pretended to still be unconscious.

Damon laid Lex on the couch when we got back. It was just Me, Damon, and Stefan. Everyone else went back to the hospital.

"Okay, so who's the kid?" Questions Stefan.

"Wait Stefan, why didn't you go back with everyone else? Are the twins okay?"

"They're fine. They're all fine."

"What happened?"

Damon answers for me, "She's moving in with Alaric."

"What's that?"

"Yep. Apparently this is a topic that's already been discussed between the two of THEM." Stefan pours a glass of Alcohol.

"We broke up."

"Oh, Stefan, I'm so sorry."

He downs the liquid courage, "She was the first girl I've ever really cared about since—
