Stefan POV:

I was in heaven, the food, the wine, the sex, I loved not being a vampire. It felt like I was finally allowed to live. I still can't believe I owe my happiness to Silas locking me in a safe and throwing me into a quarry. When I was under the water drowning again and again, I would never believe that only three months later I would see that as the beginning to my happily ever after.

I look over to my wife, who is still asleep, she's still my angel. Gorgeous, generous, kind, and understanding, I don't deserve such an incredible woman but I'm never letting her go. I got my hands around happiness and I'm not letting it go. Maybe that's why I've been so opposed to calling my brother, or anyone from Mystic Falls. I know they are dealing with Silas and it's probably life and death and the balance of the whole world at their feet I know it's short sided to think what happens there won't ever reach me here but I just want to stay undisturbed in my bubble of happiness for a little while longer. I'm sure that makes me a coward or selfish or both but... I was human again, I suppose it was par for the course.

When I got my "gift" after becoming a Bastet, It only reaffirmed that Isadora and I were meant for each other, I acted as a dimmer for supernatural powers, for her it allowed her to enjoy cities again and it meant the world to make her so happy. I'm sure Damon would get a kick out of it, my supernatural gift is literally being a wet blanket.

I feel Isadora shift besides me as she starts waking up. She settles herself on my chest and looks up at me with her adorable sleepy eyes,

Isadora: "Good morning, Husband,"

Stefan: "Good morning, Wife."

Suddenly our door is kicked open and there stands Damon,

Damon: "Good morning, brother."

Mystic Falls:

Katherine: "No, no way. Stefan is not married."

Elena: "Damon asked Liz to look into it before he left to get Stefan from Italy, Liz just called... it was a week ago in Vegas, it's true."

Caroline: "I can't believe none of us were even invited."

Katherine: "He was supposed to end up with me! or at the very lest someone who looked liked me proving he could never completely let me go not some random girl in Las Vegas!"

Elena: "I don't think she's from Las Vegas, its just where they got married."

Katherine: "Not the point, if Silas is telling the truth and he and Stefan are doppelgangers, than the universe clearly wants him with a fellow doppelgänger, i.e. ME."

Caroline: "I wander what she's like, I hope she comes home with Stefan and we get to meet her soon."

Katherine rolls her eyes,

Katherine: "Yeah let her come, so I can kill her and take my rightful place next to Stefan."

Elena: "You're not a vampire anymore, you're not killing her."

Katherine: "You're forgetting you don't need to be supernatural to kill and man stealing bitch."

Elena: "She didn't steal anything from you, Stefan never belonged to either of us."

Katherine: "According to the universe, HE DID!"

Italy:

Damon and Stefan are outside the rented Villa talking,

Damon: "So to recap while we've been dealing with Silas, and travelers, and psycho whitmore doctors, you've been touring the Italian countryside, and with a hot blonde no less, if I wasn't so pissed I might be impressed."

Damon happens to catch sight of Stefan ring finger, and notices not only a wedding band but the much more shocking lack of a daylight ring.

Damon: "Something else to fill me in on, Brother?"

Isadora comes out dressed and joins them.

Damon: "And here she is."

Stefan: "Damon." Stefan says tensely,

Damon: "What? we're all family now, right? Maybe she can explain to me why my vampire brother isn't bursting into flames without his daylight ring?"

Isadora: "It's because he's no longer a vampire."

Damon starts to chuckle but sees they're serious

Damon: "How is that even possible?"

Stefan: "It's a long story,"

Damon: "Well it's a 7 hour flight home, we'll have time, get your bags we're leaving... you can even bring the wife if you want."

Stefan: "Damon, I'm not coming home."

Damon: "Did you not hear me earlier, Silas, Travelers, let's go."

Setfan: "You can handle it without me."

Damon: "It's your evil twin, why is it up to ME to handle it?"

Stefan doesn't have much to say to that, knowing Damon has a point.

Isadora puts a comforting hand on Stefan,

Stefan turns a lowly talks to Isadora, "I can't put you at risk but Damon's right, it's not fair to put this all on him."

Isadora take a deep breath, "I don't want to be without you,"

Stefan: "I don't want to be without you either, but it's too dangerous." Isadora with tears in her eyes sadly nods her head understanding Stefan's position. He brings her in and holds her kissing her head, "I'll call you every day, and the second it's safe I'll be back for you."

Isadora: "What if it's never safe?"

Stefan: "I'll still come back for you."

Isadora: "Promise?"

Stefan: "I promise."
