Stefan's POV:
I made my way into the living room over to the couch with Elena following close behind. We had just put the kids down for the night, and boy was that a project. Kyle was at his I-don't-wanna-sleep-cause-sleeping-is-for-babies-a nd-I'm-a-big-kid stage; getting him to lay down was hard and getting him to sleep was damn near impossible. I sat down with my back leaning on the arm rest; my feet up on the couch. I patted the space in between my legs for her to sit, and she happily took the offer. She sat with her back up against my chest as I began to play with her hair.
"Well their a handful, aren't they?' I sighed, happy to have a few minutes of peace to relax with my wife.
"Yeah, they are, but their our handful. And I wouldn't trade our family for anything in the world. I love them so much. And I love you so much." she breathed, letting her head fall back onto my shoulder and closing her eyes in pleasure. She loves having her hair played with, and lucky enough for the both of us, I love playing with her hair. "But I must admit, this is so nice. A moment of relaxing, alone with you." she said contently.
We just sat there for a few moments, basking in the silence, the tranquility, serenity. I felt as though things were right in the world. But one question kept popping into my mind...How?
"How did I get so lucky?" I questioned sincerely.
"What do you mean?" she asked quietly.
"How did I get so lucky to have a family, let alone a family like this. I have a loving wife, three beautiful and healthy kids, Damon and me are on good terms again. Why? I've killed so many people. Innocent people. Before it was their time to leave this earth." I clarified; she turned around in my arms so she was facing me.
"I think I know the answer to that...you fought. You never wanted to be a monster, so you fought it with every inch of strength you have. You got on the animal diet, you learned control and kept 'the Ripper' under lock and key. You fought compulsion and stabbed yourself so you wouldn't hurt me. You protect those that you can and you help those that lost their way. Your always there for everyone when they need you. You have a dark past, and no one can change that, not even you. But what you do right here and now are the things that will effect what life throws in your future. When you were 'Ripper' Stefan, you did terrible things; you tried to change. And you won. You fought it; you didn't let it control you anymore. That makes you the strongest person I've ever met. And you know what else, were the luckiest family to have YOU. As a friend, a father, and as a husband. You keep us all, me, all our friends, and in the future when they need you our children, in line and true to who we are. And if we wander off, which we all have at some point and most likely will again, you pulled us back and helped us find ourselves again. It may sound as though I'm only pointing out your good things, and it because that's what truly matters now. You've changed over all your years, and ninety percent of it is for the better." she explained with admiration in her eyes while she stroked my cheeks with one hand and the other was emerged in my hair.
I held her closer so her body was pressed to mine like the missing piece to a puzzle. I put my palm against her cheek and caressed her face, looking deep into her beautiful brown eyes as if I could see straight into her soul. I pressed my lips to hers gently for a moment, feeling her full lips is an indescribable feeling that can't be put into words. We pulled back and looked deeply into each others eyes. "I could never ask for a better wife." I stated softly, tucking a stray hair behind her ear.
"And I could never ask for a better husband and best friend." she said sincerely.
"And the Oscar for best romantic moment goes to Stefan and Elena!" Damon joked from the chair across from the couch. And the funny part is we didn't even hear him come in here.
"Shut up. Nobody asked you, Mr. Know it all." Elena joked back.
"Aw. Is someone upset because I wrecked their romantic moment?" Damon asked sarcastically.
"Yes!" we both answered in unison, then looked at each other and laughed at our unplanned synchronization.
"Okay, so some creepy couple sync shit going on here...but. I know what you guys should do! Have a date night tomorrow. You two haven't gone out since Elena was six month pregnant with the twins. I can watch the kids, I wanna spend sometime with my niece and nephews." Damon proposed.
"Damon, love the enthusiasm. No offense but we don't really trust you fully with the lives of our children. Once again no offense." I commented.
"Okay, offense not taken. But what if Bonnie and Jeremy came to help as well? The three of them could spend some quality time with their only two uncles and aunt. Its a win, win situation. So what do you say?" Damon compromised.
We both eyed him of any ulterior motive but came up empty handed. He was starting to freak me out. "We'll think about it..." we both said in unison, which is something we've been doing a lot lately.
"Okay you two think about it but in the mean time, stop doing that creepy sync. shit. It's creepy!" he stated before pouring himself some liquor and leaving the room.
Hey, sorry that it was short. I have writers block and I'm stressed out. But here's this chapter for now. Sorry… Thanks for reading! Please Review, Follow; Favorite!
