She groaned when she heard the vibrating on the bedside table. Who the hell was calling her this early in the morning? She opened her eyes and grabbed her phone, briefly looking at the name before answering. "Do you even know what time it is?"

"Of course I do. It's not that late. Where are you?"

"Italy," she said. "So, yes, it is very late."

"Or early, depending on how you're looking at things. Why are you in Italy?"

She sighed. "I like Italy," she replied. "Why are you calling me?"

"Hmm. You're in a bad mood."

"Most people are when they are woken up at 4:00 in the morning," she replied. "Will you tell me what you want?"

"Sera, I need you to come home."

"Where is home for you nowadays?"

"I mean actual home. Mystic Falls."

"Mystic Falls?" She said. "Why the hell are you back there?"

"I have my reasons."

"I'm not helping you with any nefarious plan."

"You need to, actually."

"And, why is that?"

"Because your father is trapped inside the tomb and we need your magic to help get him out."

"Tomb?" Sera said. "What tomb? What are you talking about?"

"Look, I don't have time to explain the whole story to you right now. I need you to get on the next plane and come home."

Sera rolled her eyes. "Cryptic, as always."

"Are you coming or not?"

"It appears that I don't have much of a choice," Sera replied. "Though you and Dad have a hell of a lot of explaining to do. Starting with how you two managed to live in the same town without killing each other."

"Really? That's the question you're going to start with?"

"Better to start stories from the beginning, wouldn't you agree?"

She knew her uncle rolled his eyes before responding. "Your questions will be answered as soon as we get him out. I promise."

"Good," Sera said, throwing back her blankets and getting out of bed. "I'll be on the next plane."

"See you soon, my favorite niece."

"Only niece," Sera reminded him. "See you soon, Uncle Damon."

Serafina Salvatore closed her phone and threw it back on her bed as she went to the closet to get her suitcase. Mystic Falls. She hadn't been back there in years and, here she was, rushing to pack her belongings to go save her father from a mysterious tomb he was apparently trapped in.

This ought to be fun.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm not even sure myself," Sera said. She had finished going through security at the airport and was waiting to board the plane. "You know as much as I do."

"What are they both doing back in Mystic Falls?"

"That is in my top five questions to ask when I get there," Sera said. "Where are you now?"

"Currently Massachusetts, but I have a feeling that a relocation is in my near future."

Sera smiled a little. "You'll be able to get there quicker than I will."

"Send me your flight information and I will pick you up at the airport. Then, we can both make our grand entrance into our old hometown together."

"That's actually a really good idea."

"I don't often have bad ones."

"Do you hear yourself when you say these things?"

"I know, I know. I sound just like him. What can I say? Like father, like son."

"Yeah, yeah."

There was a pause. "Are you alright?"

Sera sighed. "As much as anyone can be when they hear that their father is stuck inside an old tomb."

"Uncle Stefan will be fine. I know he will."

"I hope so," Sera said, as they started calling for her flight. "They're starting to board. I've got to go."

"Alright. I'll see you at the airport."

Sera smiled. "See you soon, Xavier."

Sera hung up the phone and got in line with her ticket in hand. Soon, she would be home. Soon, she would be reunited with her family.

And, soon, she would be getting herself involved in something much more than just saving her father from a tomb. That much she knew for sure.

"If anything, I just want to be a great dad to spite him." - Damon; "I think my only regret would be not having a kid." - Stefan (Season 7 Episode 6).

Naturally, after hearing these quotes, I wanted to see what would happen if Stefan and Damon had kids during the events that took place in the show. How would things have changed? Would things have changed? How would said kids have fit in with the rest of the Mystic Falls Gang? What kind of pasts did they have, aside from the time they spent with their fathers? Etc. So, this is my attempt at seeing what would have happened if two such characters were present.

The title for this new series, as I like to call it, comes from the show. Damon says it in Season 7 Episode 5 and I just really liked it.

As always, I will try and keep the Canon characters as in character as possible, but if I feel that there is an instance where someone is OOC, I will warn you. I am also trying to keep things as chronologically correct as possible, but I find the timeline semi-confusing. Thankfully, this is FanFiction and I can move things around a little bit if I need to!

I don't claim to own TVD; I just own Sera and Xavier! They are all mine!

Author's note aside, I hope you enjoy the story! Please read and review!
