After they visited Grams they went to Elena's house she had a nice comfort food dinner ready for them. Stefan was there. Matt showed up as well. Everything was still hard to take in. Bonnie moved around her mash potatoes. Enzo noticed this and he held her hand for a moment he circled his thumb around her nuckles soothingly. She looked up at him for a moment and finally took a bite. The dinner was really quiet and a bit awkward. It wasn't a celeratory occassion so the silence seemed neccesary but the way Damon was glaring at Enzo there seemed to be more reasons for Damon and Elena to be silent. She didn't want to deal with whatever reason Damon was angry she had too much to deal with, with her Grams dying and not to mention Enzo and her were just about to move in with Grams. She didn't know how that was going to work. Then suddenly Caroline came in and everyones heads turned to her. Stefan stood up and went to her immediately.

"Sorry I'm late. My flight got delayed." Caroline said and then she went to Bonnie giving her a hug.

Then Caroline sat next to Bonnie and Stefan on the table.

Then Elena gave Caroline a plate of food. The silence commenced again, which didn't go over too well with Caroline. Caroline didn't do silence very well.

"Soooooo how did seeing Grams go?" Caroline asked.

"It went...uh...she'll be released soon and then she'll have home care. All they can do is keep her comfortable now." Bonnie said not looking at anyone directly.

"I'm so sorry Bon." Caroline said.

"Thanks." Bonnie said.

"Well, we're here for you Bon, whatever you need." Caroline said.

"I know Care." Bonnie said.

Then Caroline looked around the table at everyone else and said, "So is there any good news?"

Then Elena said, "Wait. Did Bonnie not tell you when you visited her?"

"Tell me what?" Caroline asked.

"About her and Enzo's engament." Elena said surprised Caroline didn't know what she was talking about.

Caroline's eyes widened and then she asked, "They're what?!"

She glared at Enzo pointedly.

"Wow, you know normally when people get engaged, their excited, they don't keep it a secret from their friends." Damon said not hiding his anger.

"Come on Damon, I'm sure Bonnie was just waiting for the right time." Elena said.

"Thank you, Elena." Bonnie said.

Damon shrugged, "OK, then tell us Bon-Bon. How did Romeo propose?"

Bonnie was about to tell Damon a thing or two about respect but then Elena said, "It would be nice to hear the story. At times like these it's good to celebrate the happy moments and I'm sure we all would love to hear the story."

Then Caroline said, "Yeah, I'd looooooovvvvvve to hear it!"

Bonnie tried to give Caroline pleading eyes. She knew she must be upset that their rouse has esculated but she didn't think she would be that angry about it.

Then Enzo said, "Well, we are at a party and we were dancing."

"Ooooo that's romantic continue." Elena said.

Then Bonnie said, "I was getting pretty tired so we stopped to get drinks."

"Then she fixed my tie and she was just looking in my eyes and I knew in that moment that I wanted more. So I... proposed." Enzo said and then he shoved some mash potatoes in his mouth not looking at Bonnie.

"So it was the spur of the moment thing that's why you don't have a ring." Damon said.

"Yeah." Bonnie answered.

"Well, isn't that romantic." Damon said sarcastic.

Then Enzo asked, "Wasn't your proposal spur of the moment too?"

"Well, yeah, but I immidately got her a ring afterwards." Damon defended.

"Oh, well good for you mate." Enzo said sarcastic.

"Yes, well come on Bon-Bon you can tell us the real reason why you got engaged."

Damon said to Bonnie.

"You don't believe us."Bonnie asked a little nervous.

"I think it's a little weird that you Bonnie Bennett thee Queen of caution especially after what you have been through with He Who Must Not Be Named would ever be engaged to someone only after a couple 's OK Bon-Bon if your preggers you can just tell us."

Bonnie looked at him offended and exasperated and said, "I'm not pregant Damon!"

"It's OK Bon."

"Enough Damon. She's not pregant and even she were it would be up to her when she was ready to tell you. Just let it go."Enzo said sternly giving Damon a serious protective look.

Damon glared at Enzo and then he angrily went back to eating his dinner. The rest of the evening contiued to be awkward as hell. As they were about to leave to go to Grams, Caroline went up to them as they approached the door.

"Hey guys can I talk to you for a sec?"Caroline asked.

Bonnie was not looking forward to this but she nodded in agreement and the three of them went on Elena's front porch.

As soon as the door closed Caroline turned to them and asked,"What are you guys thinking?"

Then Bonnie was about to defend herself but then Enzo spoke up instead, "We are doing it for Grams OK. She is dying and her last wish is to see Bonnie happy."

"It's Grams you know the lady with the world famous BS detector. Don't you think she'll see right past this farce?" Caroline pointed out.

"She hasn't so far. So far it's made her happy. And after everything she has done for me, I owe her that." Bonnie said.

Caroline looked at her friend full of sympathy.

"I am so sorry what you are going through Bon but this is not the right way to deal with this. Do you really want to spend your last moments with your Grams in a lie?" Caroline asked her friend with sincere pleading eyes.

Bonnie sighed while folding her arms and she sat down on Elena's porch swing. She rubbed her upper arm up and down and said, "I don't know what else to do. She just looked so happy with the idea of me and Enzo happy together I just couldn't disapoint her with the truth."

Caroline breathed out in exhaustion as she sat by Bonnie on the swing and she asked, "Wouldn't it be better for your Grams to see you happy for real?"

"That's not so easy for me as it is for you." Bonnie said meloncoly.

Caroline glared at Enzo pointedly. She tilted her head at him trying to communicate with him through facial expressions. Enzo shrugged not really complying with what Caroline wanted him to do. Now was not the time for him to confess his feelings for were too complicated now. Sure it might have been OK if Bonnie felt the same way and then her Grams could see Bonnie happy for real but what if she didn't feel the same way? What if she was still hung up on Damon? There were too many unanswered varables.

Then Caroline said, "It wasn't for me and Stefan. My Mom died before she saw me and Stefan together. It wasn't easy for me, it was a struggle. My Mom died of cancer too so you know I am not giving you just words when I say I know how you feel. If I could have done things over again I wouldn't have been so stubborn and I would have been with Stefan sooner. I wouldn't let all of my hang ups get in my way. I don't want you to go through the same thing. I don't want you to live with that regret."

"And if we continue with this I won't. Grams will die thinking I have finally found happiness. I won't have that same regret." Bonnie said.

Caroline stood up exasperated and looked to Enzo and asked,"Enzo are seriously OK with this?"

Enzo was leaning against a pillar folding his arms and then he said, "I wasn't at first but then I met with Grams and she welcomed me into her family with open arms it changed my mind. She needs Bonnie right now and Bonnie needs her and if I can help them both then I will do whatever I can to help."

Sadness penetrated Carolines eyes as she looked between her two friends. Then she sighed in resignation, "Fine do this! I will keep your secret from Damon and Elena only on one condition."

"What is that?" Enzo asked cautiously.

"You will allow me to tell Stefan. I can't keep this in any longer. I need someone to vent to."Caroline said.

"I'm surprised you kept it from him this long."Enzo said a little amused.

Then Bonnie said a bit concerned, "What if he tells Damon?"

"He won't." Caroline insisted.

Bonnie sighed and said, "Fine. You can tell Stefan."

"Thank you. I don't approve but I do hope everything will turn out OK. And Bonnie if you need anything all you need to do is ask. OK?"Caroline said full of compassion and love.

Then Bonnie hugged Caroline. Caroline gripped on Bonnie holding her tightly. Then Bonnie rested her head on Caroline's shoulder and said,

"OK." Bonnie said.

After they got Grams settled in her room and made sure she was comfortable for the night and they made the arrangements with the live in nurse they finally retired to Bonnie's room. Bonnie threw her bags on the floor and fell on her bed exhausted. Enzo looked around her room with an intrigued look of wonder on his face. This was Bonnie's bedroom she grew up in when she was in high school. It looked very much like a high school girls bed room. With the purple comforter on the Queen bed, the posters of Rock Stars, and the pom poms hung up on the wall. He went to the red and white pom-poms.

"You were a Cheerleader?"Enzo asked.

"We all were. Caroline was Captian."

"Now that makes sense."

"Is that hard to believe?You've seen me dancing. I am an excellent dancer." Bonnie asked a little offended.

"Oh I know that. I just never imagined you very peppy that's all." Enzo said.

"Yes, well, I haven't had that much to be peppy about lately." Bonnie said looking sad.

"True but still I just didn't imagine you as a Cheerleader you know one of the popular mean girl crowd."

"I wasn't a Mean Girl, but we were in the popular crowd, I guess. Elena and Caroline were and they were my best friends so..."

"Interesting."

"So were you in the popular crowd?" Bonnie asked.

"In the juvenile detention center, or in the string of foster homes I bounced from? No, I couldn't say I was."

"Right. Sorry." Bonnie said feeling bad about asking the question.

"It's OK." Enzo reassured her.

"So if we're going to be sleeping together..."She began to say.

Enzo smirked at her phrasing which caused her to blush a little.

"You know what I mean. I set the ground rules."

"I wouldn't expect anything less." Enzo said giving her a small smile.

"So we can both share the bed but..." Bonnie said and then stopped in midsentence and opened her closet and then she took out a large oversized brown teddy bear with a red bow tie on.

"What is that montrosity?" Enzo asked.

"Enzo St. John I like to introduce you to Mr. Cuddles."

"Mr. Cuddles?"

"He's father to Miss Cuddles. Caroline got him at a fair she won it and felt bad for losing my Teddy Bear Miss Cuddles so she gave it to me." Bonnie said.

"Oh, wow, how sweet." Enzo said while chuckling a little.

"So he will be our buffer." Bonnie explained.

"Our what now?"Enzo asked with a blank look on his face.

"Our buffer, he will be our wall between us when we're sleeping. So you will stay on your side and I will stay on mine." Bonnie said.

"Is that really neccesary love?"Enzo asked.

"Yes it is. I make the ground rules. OK."

"OK then which side do you want?" Enzo asked.

"The right side."

"Of course since your always right." Enzo joked.

"Ha ha. Hilarious." Bonnie said as she put Mr. Cuddles in the middle of the bed.

The whole Mr. Cuddles plan seemed to work pretty well Enzo stayed on his side and Bonnie stayed on her side. She tried sleeing but it wouldn't come, which really sucked because she was emotionally exhausted. Enzo's eyes were closed and then he said, "Can't sleep love."

"I guess you can't sleep either." Bonnie noted.

"Yeah, I guess I can't. It's been a long and hard day."

"Yeah and to think the biggest thing I was worried about this morning was breaking the news to you about Lilly."

"Wow, that breakfast...it seems like forever ago." Enzo said.

"Yeah, everything is going to be different now. Isn't it?" Bonnie said looking up at the glow in the dark stars on her ceiling.

"Yeah, I'm afraid so." Enzo said looking up as well.

"I still can't believe she's dying."Bonnie said her voice cracking a little.

"I know love." Enzo said with sympathy in his voice.

"I remember when she got me these stars, it was because I was afraid of the dark when I was little. She told me all I needed to do was look up at these stars and I would know I wasn't alone. And now..." Bonnie said whistfully.

"And now you are not alone in this you have your friends who are here for you."

Enzo said.

Bonnie moved up and looked at him over the Teddy Bear and said, "I have you."

"That you do." Enzo said sincerly.

"Thank you for being here and for doing this for me. You are giving up an awful lot for me." Bonnie said as she leaned on the Teddy Bear looking at him.

"You are very welcome love, but it is not much to give up. I was serious about Lily I was wrong about her and as for my glamourous job...I only took it so I could be close to Lily. It kind of makes me miserible. I don't even know if I want to go back to it."

"Really? You seemed to enjoy all of those work parties." Bonnie said.

"Yeah, because I was there with you." Enzo said as he smiled at her fondly.

Bonnie gazed at him, he was glowing from the light from the stars and she couldn't help but smile.

Then Enzo reached for her hand and Bonnie let him take it. He caressed it a bit and she linked her fingers with his. She sat there for a moment looking at him.

"So what do you want to do instead?" Bonnie asked.

"I don't know." Enzo said honestly.

Bonnie pursed her lips together tightly and then said, "I'll help you figure it out."

"I'd like that." Enzo said.

Then Bonnie laid back down on her side of the bed. She moved around trying to get comfortable irritated and then she huffed. She sat up and looked at the giant bear sitting there between them and she said, "Screw it!"

Then she took the bear off of the bed putting him on the floor.

"We weren't going to get any sleep that way anyway." Bonnie said.

"It's your bed. Your call." Enzo said.

Then Bonnie situated herself on her side she kept tossing and turning and having a difficult time trying to get comfortable.

"Are you OK there love?" Enzo asked.

"I'm fine."

Enzo tilted his head a little and said, "Come here."

Bonnie bit her lip and then she scooted by him and he put his arm around her and then she cuddled close to him. He leaned into her and she found herself resting her head on his chest. She knew this should feel awkward and weird. They were pretending to be engaged. They really didn't need to act like they were close in privacy of her own bedroom. Perhaps they shouldn't but it didn't feel awkward or weird it felt...comfortable. It wasn't long after that she drifted to sleep.
