(JENNA AND ALARIC'S WEDDING-2016)- Anna's POV

We walked into the church with Rhys, our two year old, and Abigail (my dear sweet Abby), our three year old trailing slowly behind Jayden and Madeline, who were five. The twins were holding hands with me and Jeremy, who were now twenty-two. We ended up graduating from high school with the rest our class, thanks to my mom and Jenna taking shifts with the babies. We were now doing night school at the local college.

John was holding the hand of his new girlfriend , Tricia. I rolled my eyes in their direction. Tricia was skinny, blonde, and twenty-six , yet she was going out with John, an almost-forty year old.

Must be his pedigree, I thought.

So many of the high school and college students wanted to become Founders by marriage, but they usually aimed for the teenage heirs, not the old-enough-to-be-your-father types. His own daughter, Elena, was only a couple of years younger than Tricia herself. I just thought that was quite creepy.

I looked over to Damon and Elena. Damon was holding three-year brunette Ava near his side and Elena had the two-year old brunette Dakota on her lap.

Then I glanced behind us at Caroline and Tyler, who were holding five-year old Jameson and three-year old Adeline (who was always called Addie, expect when her parents got mad).

To my left, Stefan and Bonnie held their two and three year olds, Landon and Sadie. They were guessing that Sadie had inherited Bennett witchery, but she was too young for them to tell.

I had been wondering how Elena and Bonnie got pregnant. I knew that, as a vampire, it was impossible to impregnate a human or another vampire.

I asked Elena and she said that Bonnie did a spell which turned Damon and Stefan human for four hours, making their swimmers effective. This was obviously for the purpose of getting pregnant, since no one used protection and Bonnie perform the spell when she and Elena were ovulating. Jeremy and I tried for Rhys and Abigail, so I know what it takes to get pregnant.

They found a tool online which predicted it, and Bonnie turned the vampire suitors into humans on that day and both times resulted in pregnancies. Elena said the only side effect of Bonnie's Humanization spell was that all babies born from that spell, were fully human.

I knew there was a possibility of Elena and Bonnie being turned and their children turning as well, after they were done popping out grandchildren for them. This was really only important for Bonnie, to carry on the Bennett witch heritage.

Jeremy held my hand, snapping me back to the present. He looked at me the same way he did before I ended up having his four children. Jeremy agreed if I thought that was enough, that was enough.

I did think it was enough, we had doubled the Gilbert Child Average (most Gilberts only have two children, a pattern for the household) and it successfully filled my need for a somewhat bigger family.

We certainly had no more space in the townhouse, what with the nursery now being the guest room after we refurnished and repainted it. My mother was still happily staying in the old guest room, helping take care of the four kids. The children loved their grandmother and she adored them. I had a hunch that Abigail was her favorite, because she reminded her of me. Abigail looked much more like me and less like Jeremy, where as when I compared Rhys' and Jeremy's baby albums, they looked the same.

I shook myself out of my memories in time to see Jenna and Alaric exchange their vows, and they reminded of the fact that Jeremy and I had recently renewed our vows. They kissed, and I grinned widely. I was a sucker for weddings.

I knew when Jenna cooed over all her great nephews and nieces that she wanted children with Alaric. Now I was just waiting for Jeremy to get a cousin or two, because it was common knowledge Alaric wanted kids as well.

I stared onto the floor, Caroline's cousins were now starting to get married to a few old towners and a few new people they had met at college, same went for the Fells.

The goal was, in short, to produce a child linked to all five families within the next three generations. When the Founder's council brought it up with us, John had agreed with them, but he also said that single-family children (like mine and Bonnie's) shouldn't be excluded.
