Chapter 7- (Christmas Time)

Everyone gathered at the Boarding house for christmas morning. It was the early hour of 6 am when everyone came over to open presents together. Bonnie was cuddling on the couch in her pjs with Jeremy, while beside them sat Caroline and Tyler. As I looked into the living room I thought of who was important in my life and who should be here. I thought of Jenna and how she took over this tradition for mom and Dad and how the first Christmas without them was a mess, and then how this was my first Christmas without Jenna. She had always been there also. I looked around and noticed that even though jeremy was my only blood family at 18 years old I had life pretty figured out. My family was right here with me even if some of them couldnt make it... Just then Damon walked up behind me and said, "Merry Christmas Darling but I do believe your in a pretty comprimising position." He pointed up and showed me that I was standing under the mistletoe. The one Christmas decoration I didnt have to fight him about putting up...

So he took the coffee and bloodbags from out of my hands and kissed me as if noone was there. "Hurry up in there!" Katherine yelled. Yes we invited my doppleganger, the horrible one who twisted the brothers lives into a million pieces and then shattered them all over again. She helped us find Stefan and she helped us kill Klaus, she was almost killed in the process and yes we became friends, at first Damon hated the idea but now he lives with it. When he was ok to talk to and we knew he wasnt going to kill anyone over it we had a mutual breakup and he told me he knew I was with Damon. I told him I was with Damon but I love Damon so I couldnt not be with him. I told Stefan that I had to have closure though, I had to tell him that he has to live his life and we have to be friends. So we do just that. He told me We are one big messed up family. So while Stefan is off on recovery in the forests of the continental US, Damon and I are standing here kissing under a mistletoe about to go serve a christmas breakfast, although I dont know if bloodbags and coffee can be counted as breakfast.

Damon and I walked out into the living room where everyone was gathered, Katherine standing by the fireplace, Matt sitting on the other couch with Ric next to him, Bonnie, Jeremy, Caroline, and Tyler all on one big couch. Then when everyone took their drinks damon and I sat in the big comfy chair that Damon loves and has critically claimed to himself. "Ok guys I cant take it anymore its time for presents!" Caroline said getting up and throwing boxes in every direction.

Before you knew it everyone had a stack of presents in front of them.

"A Barbie Damon really?" Caroline asked holding up the mini plastic version of her as the whole room burst into laughter.

"Actually that imparticular Barbie wasnt my idea... But I believe it was the first one bought." Confusion wiped over Carolines face as she heard the words 'imparticular' and 'first'. But when she started unwrapping the other box that said Sincerely Damon And Elena and saw another Barbie this one was the whole set of Twilight Barbies that they made hence the vampire Barbie issue. Everyone started giggling before she smirked and giggled. The rest of her gifts were either clothes or hair things or other dodads.

Tyler got a muzzle and a leash from us and from others got some shirts and money. Jeremy got a professional crossbow from ric and everybody gave him the same thing (money) except all the couples had to exchange gifts beforehand so I didnt know what alot of people got. Bonnie got a toy wand from us and clothes from everyone else. I had told everyone before hand that our gifts are silly but are very meaningful. They all smiled and just said "Yeah right..." . I thought Rics was the best and I was happy to think of it myself... We got him all the seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Stan Hesling.. Damon wanted to get him a mug that said #1 Teacher and cross it out in red paint that looked like blood and say vampire hunter. We made him open ours last and he questioned Damon when I burst into laughter. It looked like Damon was tickling me but it wasnt that I was just so happy.

"Katherine your gift from Elena and Damon?" Caroline asked because everyone gave her clothes that were a little bit more modest then her usual taste but usually she has been taking stuff out of my closet.

"Well Ive given her enough, but Elena has an interesting deal with Katherine." I nodded.

"Were going to share each others clothes... Dont see why not I mean theres nothing wrong with it.." I stood up and walked to the door it was time for the couple gifts and after seeing Bonnies necklace from Jeremy and Jeremy's new survival ring that said J+B on the inside. It was the color of Bonnies eyes and matched him perfectly. Tyler got Caroline earrings and shrugged saying "hey i dont know how to buy jewelery." She kissed him and showed off the outfit he would be wearing to dinner that night.

"So what did Elena get you?" Katherine asked looking at me then Damon.

"You know what Katherine you ask her maybe she will tell you..." Damon stated smugly annoyed. "Im just saying this could be considered a double gift. I dont know..." Katherine just quirked her eyebrow and I opened the door showing Stefan. Damon hadnt seen him since he killed Klaus that night and I had broken up with him. Frankly I hadnt either but Damon didnt know I had been calling him to make sure he didnt fall off the wagon so he could come back to his brother, his life at Christmas.

"Well I never thought Id catch you speechless..."

"Your back... I havent seen you for months, you were out of control you shouldnt be here." He was shutting down and it was my turn to talk.

"Damon Ive ben talking to him for a couple of months now over the phone and he has been wanting to come back but he didnt want to until he could be around people, on people blood. He switched to blood bags and is good now isnt that right ?"

"Yes it is, thanks to Elena I know I am welcome home for Christmas and I also know-" Damon just went straight for the hug and whispered into his ear, "We havent told them yet..."

"Stefan your here..." Katherine said really showing her vulnerable side, Damon and I were back on the couch and he was in the living room now, they would later be shocked to find out that they were the only ones who didnt know about this surprise. I had almost had to have katherine locked in the basement when we told her but she eventually played along.

Katherine walked over to Stefan and just like something out of a movie Katherine and Stefan kissed like they had neer been apart, like she had never broken his heart. "Im so sorry. I never meant to play with you guys in 1864 its always been you Stefan I love you and I always have." Those words stung Damon, she was still his first love but she had apologized to him and they were ok now.

"I love you Katherine." And in the turn of events everyone had forgotten about what we were doing before hand so sneakishly Damon decided to go get my engagement ring he had given me early this morning. I woke up to him kissing me and then before I knew it he was down on one knee expressing all of his feelings to me. Yeah we hadnt been dating for long but we have been close for so long and we know we want to be with each other forever. So now I slid the ring on my finger while everyone was asking Katherine and Stefan if they were going to be together, and while Jeremy asked if Damon was ok with that and he said why wouldnt he be?

We had gone until 12 oclock when people were about to start heading out to go get ready for dinner which would be at the boarding house when Bonnie said, "Elena is that what I think it is?"

"You mean my christmas gift to her?" Damon answered holding my hand up to his nonbeating heart whicih made my heart flutter.

"OH MY GOD ELENA ARE YOU TWo ENGAGEd?" Caroline said bursting through from the open front door, when I nodded the whole room cheered and hugged us.

"Im so happy for you Lena!" Katherine said hugging me.

"Congrats" was what I heard from all around a million and one hugs. But about an hour later I had to let everyone go and told them they could see it later. Yes my life would be good I could just see this now.
