Some Loves Never Die
Chapter 1: Family Ties
AN: OK this is my first story so please be nice. These are events that happened after season 2 and part of season 3 (since only part of it has aired). Few changes: Jenna is alive, Rose is alive (the werewolf bite did not happen), Caroline is with Matt, Isobel is alive, Bonnie and Jeremy are together (the whole Anna/Vicki thing didn't happen), and John is still alive. Oh and Lexi is still alive! OK enough with this on to the story!

Sun was pouring through the slightly open drapes, warming her exposed shoulders. She was counting the breathes her husband was taking and reminiscing over the past couple of years.
If you told her that eight years ago Elena Gilbert was a doppelganger and the key to creating a vampire/werewolf hybrid army for one of the oldest vampires in history, she would have told you, you were crazy. If you told her seven years ago that she was going to defeat said vampire and marry a rehabilitated, brooding, vampire, she would have told you, you were insane. And if you told her six years ago that she was going to have twins with her vampire husband she would have you shipped to an asylum. But it was all true. Elena Gilbert-Salvatore had been through so much heartache and pain that she would have thought that her life was over. That she could never be happy. But today she was ecstatic. She was wrapped in her husband's arms, she had two beautiful daughters safe and sound in their beds, and she'd survived. She was alive well and happy.
Elena suddenly felt soft sweet kisses being place along her neck, making their way up to her ear to mutter a low "Good Morning" to her. She turned on her side and kissed those same lips.
"Good Morning," she replied in a groggy morning voice.
"What were you thinking about?" asked her husband.
"Everything," she replied leaning over and planting a big kiss on him.
At that moment she felt a large pounce and turned to see one of her five year old daughters jumping on the bed. She then turned to see her other daughter jumping on Stefan's side of the bed.
"Gabrielle, Miranda, what are you two doing?" Elena asked her bouncy bundles of joy.
"Waking you and daddy up," said the elder of the two, Miranda, happily.
"And why might I ask?" Stefan enquired eyeing his daughters before tickling them, sending them into a fit of giggles.
"Ha ha, Daddy you should know!" exclaimed Gabrielle in between giggles.
"Oh, and what should he know?" Elena questioned her daughters with a knowing smile.
"That it's a very special day!" squealed Miranda.
"Oh, I don't remember anything special about today. Do you Stefan?" Elena asked going along with this game.
"No, I thought this was just another normal day," he said giving Elena a little wink.
The girls stared at their parents in horror.
"You forgot our birthday?" the girls exploded in unison. It came out as a question and an exclamation. Both parents couldn't hold it any longer. They soon burst out into a fit of laughter.
"No, of course we didn't sweethearts," Elena reassured the girls.
"We just didn't want to be so obvious," Stefan added.
"You know these family moments are cute and all but some of us do cherish the thought of sleep," came a sarcastic voice form the doorway.
"Damon how nice of you to grace us with your presence this fine morning," Stefan said equally sarcastic.
"Good morning Elena, good morning Stefan, and happy birthday girls," Damon said officially greeting everyone.
"See, Uncle Damon didn't forget," muttered Gabrielle.
"Come on girls why don't I make you some birthday pancakes while mommy and daddy get ready?" Damon asked his nieces.
"Yeah! You make the best breakfast ever!" exclaimed Gabrielle.
"Sorry but it's true," said Miranda turning back to her parents.
The girls headed downstairs to the kitchen with their Uncle Damon in tow.
Elena was the first to move, making her way over to the huge closet to choose her outfit for the day. She ended up picking a long sleeved purple shirt, dark wash boot cut jeans and a white lacy undershirt with her brown knee high boots. She decided she would have enough time to take a shower since everyone was coming over later in the day.
"I'm just going to take a quick shower," she said turning to Stefan who'd entered the closet.
"Great, why don't we help save the water supply and I join you?" he said making his way over to his wife, planting small kisses over her neck and shoulders.
"You know full well it takes twice as long when we're in there together," she said returning the kisses.
"Yeah, but it's still twice the fun," he said kissing her before she could reply.
Elena sighed as she gave into the request and they made their way over to the suite bathroom.
9:15 am
Elena made her way down the stairs and into the kitchen where the girls were finishing up their breakfast. She could see that Damon had made their favorite, chocolate chip with strawberries on top. She had to admit, if there was one thing Damon was good at it was cooking.
"Mommy look! Uncle Damon made Mickey Mouse pancakes!" squealed Gabrielle.
Elena looked over her shoulder to see a pancake in the shape of Mickey Mouse with part of his lower chin missing along with his ear.
"It looks good Sweetie. Is there any left for me?"
She looked over to see Damon flipping over another pancake in th air and catching it back on the griddle.
"Yes but the cartoons are reserved specifically for those six and under," he said turning to give her his signature smirk and a plate with a warm fluffy pancake on it. "Why good morning Rose. Didn't expect to see you up so soon."
Elena turned to see Rose walking into the kitchen with blue jeans and a short sleeve white shirt. She looked very nice but she always did. Elena guessed that it was a vampire thing.
"Good morning Damon, and good morning girls," said Rose cheerfully, ignoring Damon.
"What's for breakfast?"
"Well there's pancakes but I'm sure I can make something else if you like," Damon said giving his girlfriend a peck on the lips.
"Pancakes are fine," Rose said
"Good," Damon smirked
"Auntie Rose, do you know what today is?" squeaked Gabrielle from her spot at the island.
"Why yes I do believe that it is somebody's birthday today, am I correct?" Rose smiled at the girls.
"Yay! She remembered too!" the girls cheered.
"Yeah, yeah everyone remembered but me and daddy we know. Now go wash your face and brush your teeth. We have a lot to do before everyone gets here later," Elena said to her unforgiving girls.
They ran off to their room, pushing past Stefan who was descending down the stairs.
They all laugh at how they almost knocked him over. He strutted his way over to his wife and gave her a big kiss before stealing part of her pancake.
"Hey! Get your own," Elena swatted at him but to no effect. He just sat there smiling at his struggling wife.
"Yes but they taste so much better when they are yours," Stefan said waggling his eyes.
"Stake me," Damon said.
And so there it is! My first chapter of my first story EVER! I'm so excited please review and tell me what you think!
