A/N: I wrote this because the finale of TVD felt incomplete, and I couldn't find a suitable fanfic, so I wrote my own! I have planned an interesting plot ahead. I will publish, if at least five people are interested. Please read, and leave any feedback! Thanks!

Also, I don't own any characters of The Vampire Diaries, and have nothing to do with it. I'm just another fangirl!

Chapter 1

It had 4 months since Damon Salvatore had said 'I do.' And boy, had those four months been magical. Elena, of course had easily adjusted to human life again, despite having been in a sleep-coma for 4 years. But Damon still wasn't comfortable being human.

As a vampire, his supernatural strength, speed, and compulsion ability had been a major constant in his life. Now, he constantly felt vulnerable, and he was becoming slightly paranoid that he was rapidly aging. He had confided in Elena, but she had laughed it off, and reassured him that he didn't look a day older than 25.

In the beginning, it had been difficult. Neither Damon, nor his blondie sister-in-law had been able to move on from Stefan's death, and felt his absence deeply. Elena felt his absence too, as she had loved him, but she told herself to be strong for her husband and her best friend, as they were closer to him than she ever had been.

Her wedding had been bittersweet, with Damon, Caroline and Bonnie all breaking down one by one on her fateful day. Caroline and Bonnie did have a right to be sad, even a little jealous. Their own fantasy lives with their partners had been cut short so brutally. Yet, they had stayed through the wedding, and cheered with genuine happiness as their best friend started a new chapter with her now mortal husband. But only when she saw even Damon shedding a few tears in private before the wedding, did Elena realize how badly they all needed a strong person in their life.

She couldn't afford to join them in their helplessness without Stefan. And from then on, she had decided to briefly suspend her own personal grief till they became better.

Now, Damon and Elena were laying on the bed lazing together, when Caroline burst in through the door. "Get up, sleepyheads, because we, are going to throw a big birthday party for Bonnie!" she declared. Damon groaned, and buried himself underneath the sheets. Up! Now! She commanded.

"If you haven't noticed, blondie, I am trying not to move for a week" Damon retorted.

C'mon, she persisted. "You and Elena will be off to pre-med college next week, Bonnie is leaving for her world tour in 4 days, and Ric and I will be extremely busy once school starts. We might not see each other for months! Or maybe even a year!"

Damon rolled his eyes. "Aren't you being a little dramatic, Care bear? 'Lena and I plan to keep coming back here whenever we can, and Bon-Bon is going to drop by here between countries too. And no offense, but I really don't think Bonnie is up for a party now."

"Which is probably why she needs It." admitted Elena, getting off the bed. Caroline grinned and dragged her best friend out of the room with her.

Sighing, Damon followed.
