Elena Pov
I walked into my house Stefan in tow.
Caroline looked up from the TV and gave me a very questionable look.
"Well I guess I'll be on my way." She said grabbing her stuff.
"Call you later!" she said closing the front door.
I set my keys down on the counter then dropped my purse on the couch.
"I'll bring her down." I told Stefan walking up the stairs to go get Chloe.
"Hey sweetie." I smiled at Chloe who sat on the white fluffy rug in her room having what looked to be a tea party with some her toys.
"Mommy come sit down!" she said jumping up grabbing my hand.
"Maybe in awhile, but right now there's somebody you need to meat."
She gave me a funny look then held her arms up. I reached down and grabbed her putting her on my hip and going back downstairs.
Chloe's hair was down in its long curls. She had on a light blue tutu with a white shirt and a matching light blue and light green necklace. I smiled knowing that it was Caroline who picked it out. And of course she had Ella in one hand.
Once downstairs I went and joined Stefan on the couch sitting down with Chloe on my lap.
"Mama." She whispered pulling me down so she could whisper in my ear.
"What is the boy from the picture doing here?" she asked.
"Chloe this is mommy's friend Stefan." I said nervously.
"Honey Stefan is your Daddy." Her eyes got really big and she looked at Stefan who was smiling warmly at her.
"Hi sweetie." He said.
"Hi…Daddy." She said hesitantly. This made Stefan's smile grow.
The house phone rang interrupting us. I took her off my lap and went to the kitchen to answer it.
It was Jeremy. I talked for about three minutes then when back to the living room and saw the Chloe was sitting on Stefan's lap who was reading her one of her favorite books.
I went and made some spaghetti for dinner guessing that Stefan would be here awhile.
When I went back to announce that dinner was ready the scene before me made my heart melt.
Chloe was snuggling against Stefan sleeping and he had his head tipped back with his eyes closed.
Stefan opened his eyes and I said, "I made dinner if you'd like to stay."
"That'd be nice I'll just take her upstairs. I'm guessing she has your old room?"
I nodded in response and went back to the kitchen.
He came down a moment later and we sat down beginning to eat.
"She is real sweetheart." He told me.
"Yeah she is, but when she wants to be bad she can really be bad." I chuckled.
"I can only imagine." He laughed.
"I wish that I could have been there through all of it. The first steps, when you were pregnant, those sort of things." He sighed.
"Stefan it's not your fault not only did you not know but Klaus had you. You're here now. That's all that matters." I smiled reassuringly.
"Elena I don't want her to have a broken family." I gave him a questioning look how was her family broken she now had her father?
"I know this is asking a lot but I want us to live together. That way we can all be together."
I nodded knowing that he was right.
"I understand what you're saying and I agree. Since Damon and Carey have the boarding house together moving in here would be the best option. You can take the guest bedroom as your own."
"Sounds like a good idea."
I talked some more about what he had missed, and we finished up dinner. We didn't talk about us though.
Stefan was going to pack his belongings and tomorrow we were going to move him into here.
The two of were standing at the door while he put his jacket on.
"Goodnight Elena." He said reaching out and kissing my cheek.
"Goodnight Stefan." I smiled touching my cheek after he left. I padded upstairs looked in my Chloe's room and saw her cuddled up snoring softly. Then I went to my room threw on some pj's and crawled under the covers. Falling into a good nights sleep.
