Chapter 8

Dear Diary,

It has been five months since the babies were born and everyone is so amazed by them. Being half vampires they got down the whole concept of talking pretty quick and so now whenever Damon says something flirtatious to me one of the babies repeats it. Normally its Jeremy... He is alot like Damon but everyone says they are a very equal mix... Today is Damon and I's five month anniversary and yesterday was the twins five month birthday... We have reached a major milestone. They are walking and talking already... Well at the least theyre just little tiny vampires... We figures out that on their eighteenth birthday they will be turned into full vampires. It will be like me with no choice. We decided to tell them the story of our love when they are older... But Damon and I's story is not over yet so we will all have to wait and see how that turns out.

-Elena

"Elena?"

"Did Jeremy come by yet to watch Jeremy and Elena?" It felt awkward saying that at first but everyone got used to saying that...

"Yes hes here with Bonnie now." Technically this was our six month anniversary... Just it was our anniversary of officially being boyfriend and girlfriend although we had been living together for six months and taking care of kids.

"Oh Bonnies here? I havent seen here in a while... Not since we took the kids to see Jeremy in his lacrosse game." Jeremy played lacrosse now and Bonnie and him were dating. He wanted to have some normalcy in his life.

"That was a week ago... its what having kids does to you..."

"Yes it does, i swear if vampires could wrinkle id be a prune..."

"Elena my dear you are beautiful, especially right now... " I was dressed for our anniversary. Damon was taking me somewhere special. I remember our first real date, he took me back to Georgia, and since we were already parents he got Caroline and Stefan to watch the kids for the weekend. Something was going on between them but Caroline was with Matt I thought... So I always carefully danced around that subject.

"Why thank you... Now why dont you tell me where we are going?" I was wondering, he wasnt like Stefan used to be when he did take me on dates... When we did go to the grill it wasnt even considered a date to his standards. It was more of an outing with the ones we loved.

"Now that wouldnt be any fun wouldnt it?"

"Always the charmer Damon arent we..."

"How would I be myself if I werent?"

A sudden guilt rose over me and I knew that I felt bad about leaving the kids... "Damon do you feel bad about leaving Jenifer and Jeremy?"

"Yes... But they are ok... I know since they learned how to walk theyre a handful but theyll have fun with Jeremy and Bonnie ... They know them and they cant feed from humans by draining them until theyre human so theyll be fine... Elena honey I know you miss them but every once and a while we have to get out... You have been here 24-7..."

"I know it just feels so wrong."

(Later that night)

Dinner on the beach, and then a moonlit walk... I always knew Damon was a hardcore romantic but only would show it to a very lucky girl... I was glad that girl was me.

"Damon I love you."

"I love you too Elena." We walked down the beach in our bare feet walking hand in hand me in my emerald green dress and Damon in his suit pants and button down black shirt. The kids had softened him up but to anyone who didnt know him or anyone who did for that matter, they wouldnt have known it.

Before I knew it we were playfully on the ground kissing tossing each other around in the sand.

"Elena." Why did we just stop?

"Yes Damon."

"I have something to give you..." we were kneeling on the sand and he pulled out a small black box.

"Damon..."

"Its not a proposal, i know were not there yet but it is a ring.." I waited as he pulled out the ring. He opened up the box to reveal a silver band with a heart with diamonds incrested all over the band... "Elena this is a promise ring. And all Im asking for is once the kids are old enough and things settle down a little that we try and settle down. I would not be able to live without you Elena and in all honesty I know the spell could not have lied but I didnt believe in soulmates until I saw our children. I love you and I cannot live without you. Will you accept this ring as a promise?"

I was crying, and it made me feel so welcomed. I didnt think Damon was one for settling down, but I wanted him this way too. I wasnt looking for marriage right now and this is exactly what I needed. "Damon Salvatore" I cried a single tear and Damon wiped my eye, we were holding hands now "I would be honored to accept this ring from you." He put the ring on my right hand and we went back to rolling around in the sand..

(On the way home that night)

"So what do I call you now?" I asked... I didnt know, he wasnt just my boyfriend anymore.

"How about my fiance? If anyone asks we can just say we want a long engagement..." I liked the sound of that, my fiance... Well not officialy but it would happen officially sometime, this was just a promise to be married and engaged someday.

"Sounds great."
