Stefan leaned against the doorjamb of his and Becks' living room and watched his small daughter with his brother, playing a game on the TV. While Damon had always seemed to deny he wanted much to do with toddlers or babies, when Stefan invited his only brother into his life again and let him get to know his niece, Damon had taken to her right away and their bond was sealed. His family felt like it was all in one piece again, even though Damon was having relationship troubles.
Elena was a good person, she was sweet and for the first time in a long time (or maybe, ever) Damon had found a girl that he really could open up with, and now they were on the rocks. He could understand why Damon was mad, but he also got where Elena came from... The whole thing was a mess, but it seemed like Damon was keeping his mind off it the best he could. The Sea World trip had been meant to help with that as well, though Elena and her family turning up had certainly complicated things.
And now, Nat was trying her best to play video games, and while she was still learning everything, she was getting better and better.
When his daughter came his way, Stefan picked up her into his arms, holding her against his chest and pulling a pacifier out of his pocket to give to her which she immediately sucked into her mouth, looking pleased. The man headed towards his brother and took a seat on the couch, setting Natalia down in his lap. "I was just wondering how you were doing down here. Nat's got bedtime soon too."
