Fairy Godmother
Chapter Two: Happy Anniversary Part 1
Jeremy walked over to the passenger door and opened the door for his wife. Bonnie got out, giving him a quick kiss. "Thanks, babe."
"Anything for my lady," Jeremy kissed her back, closing her car door. Arm in arm they walked up the path to the Salvatore house. "You nervous?"
"Kinda," Bonnie said, "I know they want this . . . I just hope they're not mad about the way we're doing it."
"I think once they get over the initial shock they'll be so happy they won't care," Jeremy said. "I know my sister. She'll probably name you godmother."
"Okay, so we've got everything set up. Anything else we need to talk about before we enter a house of super-hearing vampires?"
He stopped, turning to look at her. He put his hands on either side of her head. "I love you. This is a beyond amazing thing you're doing for my sister and her husband." He kissed her again and they continued toward the house.
Jeremy pulled on the string for the bell. A few moments later, the door opened and Caroline appeared, "Hey guys, you're just in time. Elena's almost done with the food." They stepped through and Caroline took their coats. Bonnie kept her purse though. "Everyone's in the living room." Caroline disappeared upstairs but appeared after a few seconds without their coats. Jeremy and Bonnie, holding hands, followed Caroline into the living room.
Four year old Dillion Lockwood was playing with linkin logs on the floor near his parents. Caroline took her seat next to Tyler on the couch and he handed her her glass. Stefan and Elena lounged together on the recliner. Jenna and Alaric were on the other couch with a sleeping Zoe sprawled out on both of them.
"Hi guys," Bonnie said. Everyone looked up, waving and saying hi.
"Yeah, sorry we're late," Jeremy said. "We had to drop off Bonnie's paper at the school."
"That's okay," Jenna said, "You haven't missed much. Just Zoe running around like a little pygmie on steriods."
"Tired herself out, huh?" Bonnie chuckled. She and Jeremy joined Tyler and Caroline on the couch. Bonnie set her purse on the ground beside her.
"As usual," Elena said. Everyone chuckled.
"And . . . Damon sent a post card from Romania. He won't be back for a few months. Possibly more," Stefan said.
"Oh," Bonnie said. Damon hadn't been in Mystic Fall for years. After they'd had to stake Rose to put her out of her misery—and save Elena from her—the once rebellious vampire fled. They got a post card here or there so they'd know he was still alive...but other than that Damon was practically non-existent in their lives. He hadn't even been around when they defeated Klaus.
"Caroline, you said something about food?" Jeremy said.
"We figured we'd wait until you guys got here and have Stefan and Elena open their anniversary gifts first," Tyler said.
"Cool," Jeremy said.
"Us first," Bonnie dug through her purse, pulling out a thick envelope and a medium sized box. She handed it over to Elena.
"Oooh...I wonder what it is!" Elena squealed. She handed the box to Stefan to open. She ripped open the envelope . . . to find a brochure, two plane tickets, and a greeting card. She giggled, opening the card to read it. 'Stefan and Elena: Happy first anniversary . . . take a second honeymoon! Enclosed are two plane tickets to Paris and a brochure to the hotel we booked you at for a week. Have fun, Bonnie and Jeremy." Elena squealed again, hugging her brother and sister in law.
"That's really thoughtful of you guys," Stefan said as he opened the box. It was a box of chocolates.
"What are those?" Elena asked.
"Honeymoon Sweets," Jeremy said.
"Ya, the guy at the chocolate shop said they're supposed to be good luck for many years of marriage." Bonnie said. "It sounded weird but I thought it was, well, sweet."
"It is," Elena giggled, nodding.
"But you can only eat them during your honeymoon," Bonnie said, "We realize this isn't technically your really honeymoon . . ."
"It's still pretty cool," Stefan said.
"Thanks, you guys," Elena hugged them again. "I love it."
The rest of them passed out their gifts to the one-year-wed couple. They received a candle set and serving dish from Jenna and Ric. From Tyler and Caroline they got a fancy set of glasses and a bottle of very nice—very old- wine. "From my dad's old collection," Tyler said.
Stefan and Elena thanked their friends and they went into the dining room to eat.

Three weeks later . . .
"You guys ready for some fun?" Jeremy asked his brother-in-law and sister as they gathered they luggage from the car.
"Definitely," Elena smiled, kissing Stefan. "It'll feel good to just take a week off from school and work and everything and just be with my husband."
"I second that," Stefan smiled.
Bonnie laughed, "If you guys even make it out of the hotel room," Jeremy and Stefan laughed while Elena blushed. "I'll take that as a yes."
They all walked into the airport and Stefan and Elena checked in.. About half an hour later, the attendants were announcing final boarding call.
Elena hugged first Bonnie then Jeremy, "Thanks again for this guys. You have no idea how much this means to us."
"I'm pretty sure we do," Bonnie smiled, giving her husband a pointed look. He too, smiled. Stefan hugged Bonnie, shook Jeremy hand, and he and Elena got onto the plane.
Bonnie and Jeremy watched as their friends plane picked up off the ground and flew away. "It's done." Bonnie leaned into Jeremy's shoulder.
"And they're gonna call us when they get checked into the hotel?" Jeremy said.
"Yeah," Bonnie nodded. They started walking back to the car, their arms around each other. "I'll convince her to eat the chocolates . . . then I'll do my thing and I can guarantee they won't leave their hotel for at least three days."
"Okay . . . ew," Jeremy made a face.
"Yeah, the visual isn't exactly cake for me either . . ." Bonnie scrunched her nose. "But if it means I get to be an aunt—I'll deal with it."
"I guess so," Jeremy shrugged. This was his least favorite part of the plan . . . knowing exactly what his sister and brother-in-law were doing . . . yuck.
