...

Elena tells him to live his life and his opinion, she couldn't have given better advice.

He's happy; something he never thought he would ever achieve. He's human, there's a world of oppurtunities out there

He packs his bags and takes his diploma and his Stanford acceptance letter and leaves.

...

A wife. He never pictured someone other than Elena. But it happened and she's the best choice he's ever made

and he can't say he regrets it.

From the moment his eyes met those familiar chrome eyes across the operating table...

four months later, he asks her on a date.

She's reluctant of course, he expected that. He knew it would take some time but he's pretty determined to make it happen

They do have a past together

two years into their residencies, he asks her to marry him.

"Clara Anderson.I know you don't like big gestures." He pauses and chuckles " that's not you. But I also wanted to show you how much I love you"

"Without Sex of course" That gets a laugh out of her. She watches carefully as he takes out a black velvet box and starts to get down on one knee

She doesn't let him open the box or get a single word in before jumping on him and saying yes over and over again.

That night they make love is when he realised that everything went as planned. He wouldn't change it for anything

...

A doctor. Something he's always dreamed of becoming.

Now here he is a certified doctor.

There's no blood lust. One of the best parts of being a human.

He has everything he's always wanted. His dream job, a beautiful wife, and she's pregnant.

...

Damon, Elena, and Caroline spot them in Venice.

She and Stefan are sitting at a table outside of a café.

Stefan looks different but at the same time like he always has older like he's in his late twenties, his hair is longer, his bangs falling into his eyes. Stubble trailing across his face. The thing that catches Elena and Damon's eye the most is the silver band around his ring finger.

.She's laughing, her head falling back, dark hair sifting over her shoulders, her eyes lighting up and he is smiling at her in a way they've never seen before

They hear her groan. "I have to use the bathroom. Again" she glares at him when he laughs "I'll be back" But before she can take another step. He latches on to her hand and spins her around and kisses her hard on the mouth.

"I love you" he tells her

"Well I should hope so. You did marry me" she says and he pouts

"I love you too" She whispers and pecks him on the lips before marching off to achieve her goal

their eyes pop out as they notice the sutble baby bumb.

damon spots them. He squeezes Elena's hand and looks at the two girls. "You want to say hello?" he asks.

...

Kids. He's always thought of having kids but never actually thought it would happen.

But, Now here he is with two four year olds running around the house and another baby on the way.

He has everything he's always wanted and so much more
