A/N: I again apologize for my lack of writing lately… Hopefully this chapter makes up for it!
Bonnie POV:
The sunlight gleamed in through the half shut blinds in Elena and Stefan's guest room, waking me up earlier than usual. It was an abnormally sunny day for the cold week, and the birds were chirping loudly. I pulled the crisp cotton sheets up around my neck, enticing my nose with the laundry detergent scent. I fluttered my eyes open, and awoke to Damon still sound asleep next to me. I smiled, and turned my body towards him, awaiting for him to wake up as well. After about five minutes, I gave up waiting, and walked to the bathroom and turned on the shower. I let the steam engulf the mirrors before I got in, hoping that Damon would hear the water and join me. I felt the heated water trickle down my back, and instantly felt relaxed. I washed my hair, and shaved my legs, and still no sign of Damon joining me. I turned off the shower, and stepped onto the fluffy bathroom rug, letting the water fall down from my hair. I turned to the bedroom, and saw that he was still asleep. I was puzzled at the situation, knowing that vampires were not only very light sleepers, but that they always woke up early. I wrapped the towel around my body, and strolled over to the bed, and traced his spine with my forefinger. He smiled, and flipped over suddenly, taking me onto his stomach. I laughed loudly, and let him kiss me, surprised by his energy.
"Shower was lonely without you" I complained, watching as he shivered after my wet hair dropped onto his chest.
"Bed was lonely without you" He replied, trying to turn the situation around. I shrugged, and kissed him one last time before getting off the bed to brush my already tangled hair. He sat up after I walked away, and he began talking from the other room.
"What you did for Stefan and Elena was amazing, Bon" He said, making the bed as I applied my makeup.
"I knew it was exactly what Elena was missing. That's the only thing that ever held her back from marrying Stefan in high school. She was apprehensive about not getting the life she always imagined, not keeping the Salvatore name alive" I concluded, applying a coat of mascara onto my short but curled eyelashes.
"I don't know how you did it, but it is a vampires dream, getting a child" He added, throwing the pillows onto the finished bed. He walked up the few steps to get into the bathroom, and laced his hands around my waist as I finished with my make up.
"It was just a spell that I have been practicing for years. I knew as soon as Elena told me she was in love with Stefan that one day this would come up. She sticks to her word, Elena. She told me right after Stefan and her broke up when Katherine came back that she was going to marry Stefan one day. I laughed, but I knew that she would. It was just the factor of getting through all the rough patches to get to the happy ending" I admitted, seeing the obvious disapproval in Damon's bright eyes. He raised his eyebrow, and changed his stance, making it apparent that he disagreed with what I just said.
"What?" I asked, wanting to know why he looked so pissed off.
"Nothing, it's just when Elena and I were together for those few months, she told me that her and Stefan might never work out. She never said anything about wanting to marry him" He replied, moving farther away from me. I furrowed my brow, wondering why this would upset him, knowing that him and Elena have been over for years.
"Oh. Well she told me that the day after she broke up with him. I don't know, can we just drop it?" I pleaded, not wanting to get back onto the Elena train.
"Yeah, I gotta run, meeting Alaric at the bar to talk about some weird supernatural activity going on upstate. Do you want to come to my place tonight for dinner? I will cook!" He asked, now completely forgetting what he just revealed to me.
"Yeah, sounds good!" I said tentatively, watching as his expression changed when he said supernatural activity. I kissed him quickly before he walked out the door, now extremely curious as to why Elena being set on marrying Stefan for so long was a sensitive subject. I walked to the kitchen, and opened the fridge to find it empty, remembering that they cleaned it out before they left, knowing that they would be gone for a while. I smiled, and grabbed my purse and walked out the door, fully intending on getting food, before I saw Caroline pull up into the driveway. She walked out, beaming uncontrollably, wearing an all white ensemble. Her blackberry vanilla scented perfume wavered into my presence, and felt her pull into a large hug instantly.
"I have the BEST news!" She said, smiling ear to ear.
I raised any eyebrow, and let her continue.
"I know I have been MIA for the past few weeks, and I have a very plausible excuse" She declared, using hand gestures per usual.
"Car, you had me worried sick! If it wasn't for your ' Going out of town, be home next week' text, I would have called Missing Peoples Patrol" I admitted, knowing that would make her happy.
"Well, I have been visiting family out in Connecticut. Seeing my dad, sisters, stuff like that" She replied, obviously wanting to continue.
"I went out there because… On the night of Elena's wedding, Matt asked me to marry him!" She screamed, taking out her hidden hand to reveal a simple yet flashy diamond ring. I widened my eyes, and felt my stomach turn over completely.
"OH MY GOD! Caroline! Why didn't you tell me before?" I asked, now feeling a little hurt that she waited two weeks to tell me.
"Because! I had to go see my family and tell them in person, and I wanted to wait till Elena was back to tell you both, but I haven't been able to reach her, and I just couldn't wait any longer to tell you!" She said, probably throwing in the last part to make me feel better, which worked undeniably.
"By the way, have you heard from Elena?" She wondered, letting me take her hand as I inspected the ring. It was not as gorgeous as Elena's, but I was pretty certain that no one's would beat hers since hers was one of a kind, and practically priceless.
"Um, yeah! I talked to her yesterday. I think she will be home soon, her and Stefan are just finishing up the last of their honey mooning issues" I said, trying to keep her secret safe. I knew that if I told Caroline that I could allow her and Matt to have children, she would ask me to do it right here and now. I also knew that Elena would probably want to tell her herself, which is why I invited Caroline to go with me to breakfast, getting off the topic quickly. She chatted all through breakfast about wedding plans, running me through the color schemes, and themes, all sounding completely Caroline-esque. I smiled, and nodded throughout the entire time, and I could not wait until my day as a bride would come. Whenever Damon was man enough to do it.
Stefan POV:
I had her on my chest, as she quietly slept on the plane ride home. I could not stop smiling as she breathed in and out with her hand on her stomach. I could not believe that I only found out she was pregnant yesterday. All last night we stayed up, making plans for the future, talking about names, and fantasies that we both shared. She told me that she wanted a boy, one to look exactly like me, and I told her that I was just happy to be a dad, whether it was a boy or a girl, even though I secretly did want a girl with her eyes. My thought process was interrupted by the flight attendant letting us know that we had ten minutes till landing. I kissed her forehead gently, and felt her eyelashes flutter open.
"Mmmmm, What time is it?" She wondered, waking up groggily. I chuckled, and answered her willingly, letting her fall back on my chest.
"How was your nap?" I asked, not telling her that she had been sleeping for the past four hours.
"Good… " And then she mumbled something that even I could not pick up.
"What are you mumbling about Wiley?" I joked, remembering that she said the same thing to me years ago.
"Nothing… Everything" She replied, now quoting her favorite show. I chuckled, and kissed her forehead again before getting up to retrieve our carry on luggage. I sat back down and held her until we landed, helping her up as we got off the plane. I held her hand all the way through the terminal, and then back out to the car that had the "Just Married" paint still slightly visible. I loaded the luggage into the trunk, and opened the car door for her as she sat inside. We drove home recollecting our trip, laughing at the memories of the beach, and when we went roller skating. A Beatles song came onto the radio, and Elena burst into a laughing fit when I attempted to sing. Her laugh was infectious, and for the rest of the ride home, we just laughed at each others laugh.
"Aaahhh, Home Sweet Home!" she said, smiling at our house that we share. I took her hand, and we walked into our home, ignoring the luggage that we left in the car. We got to the door, and I lifted her up, walking over the threshold, carrying her to the couch. She giggled the entire way, and kissed me passionately as I set her down.
"I thought your threshold duties were over with when we moved in!" She said smiling.
"I will carry you over the threshold for the rest of eternity if it makes you happy" I replied, kissing her cheeks and her nose. She pressed her lips together, and blushed softly. I smiled, and walked over the answering machine that we have yet to record a message on together. I saw that we had 3 new messages, and I pressed play.
"Elena! Call me ASAP! I have HUGE news to tell you!" Caroline's voice said, followed by Jenna's.
"Hey guys, your cryptic, "We have big news" text was too foreboding, so call me call me call me. Oh, hope you guys had a good time! Alaric says Hi!" Jenna said, followed by a beep.
"Glad you guys liked my little surprise! Call me as soon as you get back" Bonnie said. I glanced at Elena who was sifting through the pile of mail that was brought in to our coffee table.
"Hon, you gotta call these people back. A text saying Big News was too much excitement for them. Can we please tell them?" I asked, laughing to myself at the reversed role I was playing right now.
"I'm on it!" She replied, picking up her cell from the table. She dialed Caroline first, knowing that her conversation would be the quickest. I listened as she conversed with Caroline, watching as she moved her hand from her lap to her stomach every few moments. I smiled, and walked to her side, listening to Caroline rant about her week. I played with Elena's fingers while she talked, and was relieved to hear Caroline bid farewell. Elena hung up, and took a deep breath, letting out a sigh.
"What's up baby?" I asked, now wishing I paid closer attention to the conversation.
"Well, remember that night on August 26th?" She asked, with her hand on my leg. I smiled, knowing that she was talking about our wedding.
"Vaguely. What about it?" I said, playing along.
"Well, apparently Matt proposed to Caroline on the same night!" She exclaimed. I smiled, and clapped my hands victoriously, happy for Caroline.
"That's great! About time!" I said, watching as Elena dialed Jenna's number next. She raised an eyebrow, and kissed me from the side as she walked into the other room. I knew that tonight we would probably be telling everyone that Elena was pregnant. I honestly cannot wait.
