Bonnie woke up in her bed stretching finding herself alone. She felt the warm spot where Enzo was sleeping but now he was gone. It felt kind of empty. She needed to kick herself and remind herself not to get so comfortable with him. This wasn't real. Enzo had no obligation to stay in bed and cuddle with her. She needed to snap out of it, sure it was nice cuddling with Enzo and she finally felt at peace enough to sleep but she needed to not get used to that or attached. She also needed to focus on Grams she looked at her clock it was 8:30. She slept in, she needed to get everything ready for Grams and the Hospice Care. She got dressed real quick and then she went in the kitchen with a surprising sight of Grams sitting in her wheelchair with Enzo in the kitchen cooking breakfast.
"Good Morning my sweet!" Enzo said with an exuberant voice.
Then he got a coffee mug and poured her coffee and put in the sweeteners in just the way she liked it. He then handed it to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
All she did was smile and said, "Thanks."
"Do you want breakfast?" Enzo asked.
"Yeah, sure." Bonnie said.
"OK so eggs Sunny Side Up are coming right up! That's the way you like them right?" Enzo said cheerily.
"Yep." Bonnie said as she sat by Grams.
"Good."
Then she looked at Grams sitting eating her oatmeal, she looked weak.
"Grams are you sure you are up to this?" Bonnie asked concerned.
"I want to enjoy my last time with my family." Shelia said.
"We'll spend time with you Grams. You don't need to get up for us." Bonnie said.
"That's what I told her you say. Your Grams is one stubborn woman. It must run in the family." Enzo said a little teasingly.
"You have found a very wise Fiance` here. You should keep him." Grams said smiling.
Bonnie didn't say anything to that. What was she supposed to say that she couldn't keep him because he wasn't real?
Then she looked up at the center piece on the table of Lavender flowers in a clear vase. She smelled them.
"They're fresh. Grams you didn't pick these out of the garden today. Did you? You shouldn't be gardening in your condition."
"I would if I could baby girl. That was all Enzo. It was his idea to put your favorite flowers here in the first place." Grams said very pleased.
Bonnie looked at Enzo cooking touched.
Then Enzo put her plate in front of her and said, "Here you go."
Bonnie smiled and began to eat her breakfast. Enzo sat down beside her and began to eat himself. They settled to a comfortable silence and then the doorbell rang.
"I wonder who that could be." Bonnie said and then she got up to answer it.
As soon as she opened the door she saw Damon there holding a bouquet of flowers and said, "I'm sorry Bon-Bon."
Bonnie took one look at Damon and was about to slam the door in his face but then he put his foot in between the door and the doorway.
"Apology not accepted." Bonnie said as she walked away from him.
Then Enzo got up and stood by Bonnie and said, "Maybe we should hear him out."
"Why thank you Enzo. Here." Damon said as he gave her the assortment of all kinds of different flowers. They didn't go together well at all and to her they looked like an eye sore.
She picked them up and fake smiled, "Oh thanks for the wonderful flowers that aren't even my favorite flowers."
"Hey, it's the thought that counts right." Damon defended.
"And what is the thought exactly?"Bonnie asked.
"I'm sorry that I called you preggers in front of all of your friends. Even though after like a month of being together it was the obvious conclusion to come up with. I shouldn't have said it like that in front of everyone." Damon said.
Bonnie huffed, "Fake apology not accepted!"
"Come on Bon. Give me a break here. You two suddenly being engaged after only a month of being together is a bit shady especially for you Bon."Damon said.
"It's not that long. I've seen some couples get engaged in less time."Bonnie shrugged.
"Yeah, impulsive love struck idiots. You were never that impulsive." Damon said.
"I can be impulsive." Bonnie complained.
"Yeah, I guess you've been pretty impulsive lately, it's just really uncharacteristic no one changes that much without a reason. And I just don't think you and Enzo were being straight with me about your reasoning." Damon pointed out.
"Look, Damon if you are not going to actually apologize. Then why don't you just leave." Enzo said firmly.
"Fine maybe I will." Damon said.
Then Grams said, "Wait, Damon can you help me to my room first?"
"Grams, I can do that." Bonnie insisted.
"No you enjoy your breakfast. Besides there's a word or two I would like to have with Damon." Grams said.
Then she looked at Damon with pointed eyes. He gulped for a moment and he said, "Of course Grams."
Then he pulled Grams wheelchair and wheeled her in her room and then shut her door.
Then Enzo said in a sing song voice, "Someone's in trouble."
Bonnie looked at the door worried.
"What if he is rude to her? Grams shouldn't have to deal with that right now."Bonnie said.
"Don't worry love, your Grams is tough as nails, if we should worry about anyone's fragile feelings being hurt it will be Damon's, which is just what he deserves right now. She'll set him straight."
"I have no doubt but maybe I should go in there anyway." Bonnie said.
"No, listen to your Grams she wants you to enjoy your breakfast. You don't want it to get cold and have all of my hard work go to waste do you?" Enzo said while giving her his sad puppy eyes.
"No. I don't. It is delicious by the way." Bonnie said as she took another bite taking a moment to really savor it.
"Why thank you I am pretty fantastic if I do say so myself." Enzo boasted.
"And humble." Bonnie joked.
"Yeah that too." Enzo said.
They continued to eat and joke with each other and Bonnie found herself laughing pretty loudly. Enzo brought that out of her. They enjoyed breakfast while they enjoyed teasing each other. Bonnie couldn't stop smiling. She bit her lip catching herself. She was having too much fun she was enjoying herself too much. This whole fake engagement thing was going to make her so much more confused then the fake dating did.
Then Damon finally got out of Grams room. He looked at the both of them who were finishing their breakfast and smiling at each other.
He then said, "You know what I am so very sorry for being such a grade A douche! We'll you guys ever forgive me?"
They both stared at him a bit dumb founded. Then Bonnie examined his facial features and was shock to see he was actually being sincere. She was still hesitant to forgive him.
"I don't know Damon." Bonnie said.
Then Damon said, "I know it's hard Bon but how about I treat you both to a real legiment apology lunch with Elena this afternoon, that way the two engaged couples can catch up. It was a bit of a shock to me for you two to be engaged so quickly but I did think you make great couple. So what do you say?"
"I'm in if your in, Bonnie." Enzo said.
Bonnie nodded her head and said, "I'm in."
"Fantastic I'll see you two at the Grill at One."
"Sounds good." Bonnie said.
Then Damon gave Bonnie a hug and gave Enzo a side hug.
"See you two love birds then." Damon said and then he left.
They both stared gawking at the door both still surprised at Damon's 180 degree turn.
Then he said, "Wow maybe the rumors are true and your Grams really is a witch."
Bonnie hit him on his arm.
"Sorry."Enzo said.
"That was weird though. He just changed his mind about us so quickly." Bonnie said.
"Your Grams can be a pretty convincing lady." Enzo pointed out.
"That's true. I better see her and make sure she is OK."Bonnie said.
"I'll clean up in here."Enzo said.
Bonnie nodded at Enzo, grateful for him. She wanted to spend some alone time with her Grams, she got the impression that he understood that. As they have been going on with this fake relationship she has gotten this impression that he was starting to really understand her.
As the morning went on she helped her Grams, she stayed with her reading to her, and then Grams asked her to tend to her Garden, it was getting weeds in it. She then talked to the nurse and went through her whole agenda of things she did to take care of Grams. By the time it got closer to 1:00 she was exhausted already. She was thinking about getting out of it as she collapsed on the couch.
Enzo sat by her and said, "We can just do a rein check. You don't have do this."
Then Grams said, "Bonnie you've been working hard all morning. You deserve a break. Go out and have fun with your friends."
Bonnie sighed.
"You don't have to if your not up to it." Enzo said.
"Nah. It's OK. He's buying it should be fun." Bonnie said.
Lunch was fun. Damon seemed to stay true to actually apologizing. He didn't have his disaproving glares at all. He even said, "Awwww." when they arrived holding hands.
They were able to reminisce about old times. The food was really great, she bought the most expensive item on the menu since Damon was buying. That didn't seem to bother him at all.
Then both Elena and Damon became silent as they looked at each other like they were having conversation with their eyes. It seemed like there was something important they both wanted to say.
"So I know this is such a hard time for you. It's in these sad times that makes us appreciate the life that we do have and not want to waste a minute of it." Elena said with conviction.
"Yeah." Bonnie said understanding what Elena was saying in theory but not really being able to feel like that was the right course of action right now.
Then Damon said, "Yeah so we were thinking Grams has been such a big part of our lives that we would want her to be there at our Wedding to see us."
"What?"Enzo asked.
"So we were thinking of pushing up the Wedding date up to the end of the month." Elena said.
"No. Bonnie doesn't need that right now. Do you really think this is a good time to have a Wedding? Think of Bonnie and all of the stuff she'll have to do as Maid of Honor."Enzo said outraged.
"Actually we were thinking you wouldn't be our Maid of Honor." Elena said.
"Oh." Bonnie said a little disapointed it would take less stress off of her but still the fact that Elena didn't want her to be a part of her Wedding hurt, considering they spent their childhood planning their dream Weddings.
Then Damon said, "Look, I'm sure Grams would love to see us happy and married but I think what would really make her happy is to finally see her 'baby girl' happy and married to the man she loves. So what do you guys say will you get married with us?"
Bonnie's eyes widened at them and she asked, "What?"
Then Elena cheerily said, "We're talking about a Double Wedding! We want to have a Double Wedding with you guys! So what do you say?"
Both Bonnie and Enzo had blank faces at that. They had no idea what to say.
