Damon POV
I helped Opal into the shower so that she could clean up before finding her one of my t-shirts and a pair of my boxers that she could wear for now. I will have to get her some clothes to wear, I should have something in the attic that she can wear tomorrow before we go shopping. It was during my musing that she finished her shower and came out wrapped in a towel. 'What I wouldn't give to be able to ravish her thoroughly right now.' I thought but quickly pulled myself together she is weak and the baby needs to be check on first before I can take my wife to bed again. She walked over to me a placed a soft kiss to my lips before she said, "So what am I wearing to bed?" I chuckled and handed her the clothes which she raised an eyebrow at but put them on anyway. I handed her my robe so she felt better about the lack of fabric covering her and she smiled at me. After she was dressed I wanted to take her to the kitchen for some food as our baby needs more than just blood I'm assuming. The thought had just crossed my mind when I heard Elena's car pull up the driveway.
I turned to my gorgeous wife and said, "That will be Stephan and Elena, just a warning she looks exactly like Katherine but she is human. Creepy I know Stephan dating his ex's exact copy but he won't listen to me." She nodded and kissed me lightly before she said, "Alright love, let's go play nice." She then lowered her voice so that only I could hear her and continued, "Let's not mention our baby yet, I know he's your brother but even back then with Katherine he was blind to her evils. I would like to get to know her copy before I judge her or give out information about our child. I didn't spend 145 years in a tomb protecting our child with magic to lose them to some wenches scheme." I nodded in agreeance and kissed her head while wrapping my hands around her waist letting my fingers trail over her flat abdomen where our child grows.
We walked down the back stairs towards the kitchen for food and get to work on a light snack before bed. Stephan and Elena chose that moment to walk through the front door, Stephan stood protectively in front of Elena as he said, "You have Katherine back Damon when are you leaving?" I laughed because he hadn't seen Opal yet she was in the pantry putting the bread back when he came in guns blazing. "You must really want me gone brother if you can't even stand to give me a night to get her adjusted to the new century before you go kicking us out of our own home. But then again you and father never really liked her." Stephan finally looked confused but brushed it off before he said, "She can't stay here people will talk with how much she looks like Elena. You both should leave, where is she anyway?"
My wife in all her glory finally decided to make herself known when she said, "Glad to see you remember me dear brother-in-law. I know you never really got to know me with your head up Katherine's skirts but to forget me altogether is just rude." Stephan spun around so fast at her voice and then looked at me with wide eyes before he said, "Opal, what.... how?" I looked at Stephan and sighed before I said, "I never wanted to get Katherine out of the tomb because I loved her. I thought she killed Opal after compelling me over and over to forget her. I was going to rip her heart out of her chest after she told me where I could find Opal's body so that I could bury her in the cript as she is my wife. After which I was going to kill myself so that I could join her in death. Imagine my surprise and joy when I found that Katherine wasn't in the tomb but in her place I found Opal."
Stephan looked utterly confused by what I had just said before he finally managed to say, "But you loved Katherine. You even fought with me over her. How can I not remember your wife?" I chuckle at his utter stupidity before I take Opal by the hand and said, "I married Opal in Texas on her families plantation. Her brother Major Whitlock was our witness, when I brought her home father all but kicked me out of the house. Only her brothers status in the army kept him for disowning me and you had your nose to Katherine's ass so you never really met her. I bought us a small housenin town but still visited the house often to see you while I was still on leave. It was during one of my visits the Katherine compelled me. She tried to get me to sleep with her but even under compulsion I couldn't get it up." I chuckled at the memory wrapping my arms around Opal's waist before I continued, "She repulsed me on a deeper level so I became her fixation because even under compulsion she couldn't have me. I broke her compulsion a few times before she finally got mad enough to I'm guessing switch places with Opal trapping her in the tomb in her stead."
Opal sensing my distress squeezed my hands tighter around her waist in an attempt to calm me down. Stephan just stood there with Elena behind him with his mouth open. I looked at him and then with a sigh said, "You see Stephan you don't know everything. If you would have just asked instead of forcing me to transition you might have known what I wanted to die for wasn't Katherine, it has always been Opal. I guess I should thank you though since because of you I was able to have her back. So thanks for that, oh and we aren't going anywhere this is our home Stephan so get used to it. One more thing be nice to my wife brother or I will end you. I lost her once I won't let it happen again." With that I pulled Opal from the kitchen with our snack secured. Can't allow my baby to starve just because my brother is being a love sick fool, again.
