Travel Back in Time Chapter 2

A/N: First of all, thank you for the reviews! You guys rock like always! Here's chapter 2, enjoy!

"So Damon, are you new to Mystic Falls?" Miranda asked as she handed him a cup of scorching coffee. 

Damon settled himself on the black, velvet couch and gratefully took the coffee. He grinned. "Why yes, I am." If he didn't want to screw up this time then he was going to have to lie and keep his vampire existence a secret. 

Miranda nodded, looking out the window and watching the autumn leaves flutter to the ground before being picked up by the wind and carried off. "We just moved here too. Elena doesn't really have any friends."

Damon suppressed a snicker, knowing that Elena had alot of friends in his time. "But once she starts school I'm sure that will change." 

"I'm sure it will." Damon said, even though he already knew. 

A small buzzing sound interrupted them. Damon smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, it's my phone. Do you mind?"

"Oh of course. I gotta go check on Elena anyways." Miranda said as she got up.

Once Miranda was out of eat shot, Damon snapped his phone open and growled through the receiver. "I swear to god Bennett-"

"Oh good he's here." Bonnie breathed a sigh of relief on the other line. "I didn't mean to send you back in time Damon. How are you?" 

"How am I? How am I? That's the understatement of the year! I'm stuck in the past with Elena in her diaper years! How do you THINK I am?" 

Bonnie's eyes widened. "You're what?"

"You heard me witch! You better be working on a reversal spell!" Damon snapped while glaring at the wall.

"Ok ok, sheesh calm down. It can't be that bad. I bet Elena's so cute! And hey, she doesn't hate you either."

"Wonderful." Damon muttered, thinking of the Elena in his time and wondering how she was. 

Bonnie's voice turned serious as she spoke, each word dripping with authority. "Listen Damon, you're interfering with the past as we speak. Things in Elena's life will never be the same now. You just have to make sure not to reveal yourself to her or anyone in her family." 

Damon nodded, already getting bored with this conversation. "Yeah whatever. Hey I have to go. Chat later." Before Bonnie could object, Damon snapped his phone shut and turned to see Miranda coming down the stairs holding a sleepy Elena. She swiped at her eyes tiredly and looked up at Damon, her small face instantly lighting up in excitement. 

"Honey, this is Damon. He's the man who saved you." Miranda said gently to Elena as she set her down. Elena smiled as she ran up to Damon and hugged him tightly, her tiny arms wrapped around his midsection. 

Damon smiled a little and bent down so he was eye level with her. Some things never change. She was still the damsel in distress, always needing to be saved. 

"Thank you for saving me Damon." she giggled softly as Damon scooped her up in his arms, tickling her playfully. 

"You're always needing to be saved, huh? Huh?" Elena squealed and laughed as Damon continued his assault on her, a smile of his own creeping onto his face. Maybe this wasn't so bad after all. He could get used to Elena being so innocent and sweet. She didn't have the constant fear in her eyes whenever he was around her, nor did she hate him. 

Miranda smiled as she watched the interaction. She was glad that they were getting along. Elena seemed to really have taken a liking to this man. And it seems Damon really liked her too. 

Elena giggled as she wiggled out of Damon's hold and he set her on the floor, watching as she ran over to a box of toys and began playing. "She really does like you." Miranda commented.

"Why wouldn't she?" Damon laughed as he helped Elena pull out a stuffed bear. She hugged the brown stuffed Teddy close to her chest and looked up at Damon with a sparkle of innocence in her eyes. 

"This is Mr. Teddy. He's my bestest friend! Wanna hold him?"

Before Damon had time to politely object, she thrust the stuffed animal in his arms. Damon lifted the bear up and stared at it with disbelieving eyes. It was the same one present Elena slept with in her bed. He smirked, remembering the time he had played with it and had gone through Elena's "private" stuff. Good times. 

"Do you like it?"

Elena's voice snapped Damon out of his daydream and he turned his head downward towards her outstretched arms, ready to take the bear back. "Your friend is cute." Damon handed the bear back to Elena and watched her put it back in the toy chest before turning to Damon, eyes gleaming with excitement. "Play with me!"

Damon smirked, staring Elena down with his intense eyes. "And what would you like to play?"

Elena looked thoughtful for a moment before her eyes widened. "Let's play tea party!"

Damon resisted the urge to gag as his eyes widened. "How about we play a different game? I know! Let's go outside."

"And what are we going to do out there?" Elena asked curiously as Damon hoisted her up onto his shoulders and set her behind his head. 

"I'm gonna throw you into a nice big pile of leaves until you beg me to stop. Then I'm going to tickle you to death. Sound like fun?"

Elena laughed loudly as Damon grabbed her legs and swung her off of him and into the air. She screamed as she fell down towards the earth before getting caught in two big arms. Damon held Elena close to his body as he breathed in her intoxicating scent, enjoying the sound of her childish laughter and her carefree nature. Was this the Elena before her parents died? He didn't know, but he knew that he was enjoying this fun side of her. 

Damon kissed the laughing child on the forehead before opening the door and nearly running into a dark figure. His eyes widened when he took in the form of the person standing there. "No way." Damon whispered as the voice of the man sent chills down his spine.

"Hello, we haven't officially met. I'm John Gilbert."
