"What?!" Elena, Stefan and Jeremy all shouted as Damarion was crossing his arms trying to process the news. He had just learned the name of his Father-Damon Salvatore and the man in front of him, Stefan was his uncle.

"Damon, my brother," Stefan said pointing to himself

Melrose let out a sigh," Yes, why is that hard to believe?"

"Oh, it's not, considering you two dated for years" Stefan realized what he said and that Damon had left her after Katherine came into the picture, and Melrose was pregnant, did Damon know?

It was like Melrose read his mind when she spoke the next words," He didn't know, that I was pregnant" He shot his head up to her, realizing that meant Damon most likely didn't know he had a son and knowing his brother, before they became Vampires, he wanted children, and he had one despite how he is now.

"Damon. Salvatore." Jeremy said crossing his arms with one hand on his mouth trying to picture him as a dad.

Then Elena, who was conflicted about the news, she had known Damon for one year, and even it was hard for her to believe.

Damarion looked at his Mother who was holding herself in her own arms. He felt angry, at his supposed father, for leaving her, and the woman who resembled her was sitting in front of him. He was not someone who hated a person without knowing them, but he was kind of raised by Niklaus for years, and Family over everything, was what he believed in.

"You...do realize he's in Mystic Falls, right?" Stefan said carefully unsure how she'll handle it

"I know he is, but I didn't come back for him, if that's what your thinking, I came back because its safest for Damarion, we needed to escape from-" Melrose cut herself off knowing she shouldn't reveal everything.

"Are you in danger?" Stefan questioned

Melrose and Damarion shot his head up," No, we just we needed to escape from-Europe, we been there for hundreds of years, so Mum and I wanted a change and came to America and why not her own old hometown" Melrose looked at her son as he lied feeling horrible for making him do it, but the two needed to keep their profile on low radar, Elijah made sure of there safety, and they couldn't mess it up.

"Oh," Stefan said but he knew it was a lie, but he did not pry and finding out that he had a nephew, it gave him the resolve of wanting to protect him, but what about his brother," Do you plan on telling Damon?"

Melrose looked at Stefan and noticed the looks from the Gilberts, all giving her a questioning stare, and Damarion scoffed," I don't know, if I want to even
meet him, he left Mum and all" He muttered as

Melrose let out a sigh," Rio, don't, I did not raise you to hate-

"That's the thing you didn't raise me!" He shouted to his mother immediately regretting it, considering how their situation was, for so many years, they were practically torn apart by Niklaus.

He ran out of the Grill as his Uncle and Mother called after him, he needed to release some of this anger, he was not going to hurt someone with it. He needed fresh air to cool down.
