Damon's POV:
I blinked at her. What the fuck!? She has a kid?
"How?" is all I manage to say, shocked. "Why didn't you tell me?" I was hurt. In the back of my head, I knew she was right. Why would she tell a near-stranger about an important part of her life? But that's exactly what it is. Important.
She started sobbing uncontrollably, and Jaxon and Liam both looked at her kind of in a scared way. Fucking idiots never know what to do when a girl starts crying. I grabbed Scar and dragged her the rest of the way to my lap. She curled into my chest and shoved her head into the crook of my neck, and began to cry again. I let her stay in that position, and wrapped my arms around her, brushing her hair out of my face and giving her light kisses on the head. Jaxon and Liam looked at us silently, Jaxon with concern and Liam with an emotion I know all too well; defeat.
"She's only two! My princess is only two years old! A-and i- had to g-give h-her away!" Her body shuddered and I held her tighter, whispering nothings in her ear.
After her breakdown I felt her take a deep breath, then look up at me. I forgot there were other people in the car when I saw her stare at her. Her red-rimmed eyes stared at me and she gave me a small smile. I smiled back and slowly took her face in my hands, and wiped her tears with my thumbs.
"Are you ready?" I asked her softly.
She nodded and got out of the car. We all followed suit, and when we got out Jaxon clapped me on the shoulder, gave me an approving nod, and we walked into the building, where Scar's child was living.

Liam's POV:
Well. That hurt. I saw the way Damon held her in his arms. Protectively. Lovingly. I saw the way she crumbled in his arms, letting him see her vulnerable. She let him protect her. She was usually sassy and happy with everyone else. Even me. I wouldn't quit. But the chances of winning her love now are one in a million.

Scar's POV:
That was embarrassing. I haven't broken down like that in two years. The day I had Emma taken away from me.
We walked into the old building and walked to the receptionist who looked like she was in her late 100s.
"Hello, uh I'm Scar Blake ( a/n: I'm pretty sure that's the last name I put for them but I don't even remember so oh well ) and I'm here to, uh, get back my daughter Emma Blake," I told her, stuttering like crazy from all the nervousness I was feeling. Damon grabbed my hand and intertwined our hands, easing my tension. Liam grabbed my shoulders and gave them a gentle squeeze, then stepped away and Jaxon grabbed my other hand.
The receptionist looked up at me and gasped. "My dear, aren't you a little too young to have a child?"
"I thought so too," I whispered.
She looked at me with sympathy and started typing away at her computer. After a couple seconds, the looked back at me and smiled. "Your daughters here. She's in the nursery, I'll lead you there."
She stood up and started walking into a hallway behind her. I followed, still holding tight to Damon and Jaxons hand. This is it. She gets to a door and turns around.
"There are two other kids in there with her, but I will put them in the other nursery so you can spend some time with her. I will be back in 15 minutes, but you must know that you can't take her today."
I nodded. This is it. The lady opened the door, soon coming out holding a little boys hand and she was holding another little girl in her arms. Oh god. I shrank back into Damon, who was behind me, and he put his arms around me and simply hugged me.
"You can do this." He said in my ear.
I took a deep breath and walked in the door.
a/n: ok so this was really short, err shorter than usual, and sorry for that but I changed the cover of the book and the title because the ones before were actual garbage... I still might change it again because I have absolutely no creativity in me whatsoever. sorry for this chapter it was really bad, but again plzz stick with me :/
