After locking themselves in the bedroom for the last four days, the time had finally come for Stefan and Caroline to rejoin the outside world. It had been two weeks and today was the day that Damon and Elena were coming home and the two of them needed to pick them up from the airport.

Caroline finished her shower, got dressed and went downstairs to the kitchen to find Stefan making them breakfast.

"So", she said when we entered the room, Stefan turning around to meet her with a smile.
So…?" he responded back.
"What are we going to tell Damon and Elena about us?" she asked with a concerned look on her face.

Stefan walked over to her and caressed her face, "Well, I'd like say, Welcome home you guys, I hope you had an amazing trip. By the way, have you met my girlfriend, Caroline?" he said, making sure to emphasize the word girlfriend.
Caroline felt the blush take over as her whole face got hot. They'd never talked about what their relationship status was and not knowing had terrified her considering she was definitely in love with this man. Hearing him call her his girlfriend made her so unbelievably happy.
"Is that okay with you, Ms. Forbes?" he asked with a smirk on his lips.
"That is more than okay with me, boyfriend" she said back with a big smile as she placed a long kiss on his lips.
Stefan laughed as he kissed her back; Caroline Forbes was all his and that thought made his heart was just burst with joy.

They finished their breakfast and headed off to the airport.

"ELENA!" Caroline yelled out when they finally saw the two brunettes walking towards them. Well, Damon was walking towards them with their luggage, Elena had started running full speed towards Caroline like they hadn't seen each other in years.

"Oh my gosh, I missed you SO much, Care!", Elena said as the two girls embraced in a hug.

Stefan and Damon just laughed and shook their heads.
Stefan walked over to his brother to help him with the luggage.
"Welcome home, Damon. Did you guys have a good time?"
"Just wait for it", his brother told him with a smirk and Stefan gave him a confused look.

That's when he heard Carline let out another scream.
"OH MY GOD, YOU'RE ENGAGED!"

Stefan looked back at his brother with wide eyes.
"You got engaged!?" he asked him.
Damon just smiled, "Sure did!"
Now it was Stefan's turn to pull his brother into a hug.
"Well it's about damn time!" he told Damon.

Stefan walked over to the girls and pulled Elena into a bear hug.
"I am so happy for you guys. Now you'll officially be my sister" he told her with a kiss to the side of her head.
"Thank you Stefan, I can't wait!"

"You totally have to let me plan your engagement party!" Caroline said to Elena and Damon when they were headed back to the house.
"A party?" Damon asked, sounding less than pleased.
"Oh come on, Damon. You know I can throw one hell of a party, and you won't have to do anything. Just show up looking nice and then drink for free all night." She told him.
Damon thought about it for a second, "Well, in that case, sign me up Blondie!" They all laughed and Caroline went into talking details about the party in the back seat while the brothers sat up front.

"So", Damon said, eyeing his brother.
"So, what?" Stefan asked, not turning to look at Damon.
"Oh come on, Stef, tell me that nothing happened between the two of you while we were gone." Damon whispered, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Stefan looked at his brother with a smile playing on his lips. Damon's eyes got wide, "I KNEW IT!" he yelled out, making the girls stop their conversation.
"Knew what?" Elena asked, suddenly interested in what the boys were talking about.
"Oh, nothing." Damon said, trying to pretend that he didn't know anything.

Stefan looked in the mirror and saw Caroline with a surprised look on her face and he just shot her a wink letting her know it was okay.
She nodded her head and took a deep breath, "Elena, there's something I should probably tell you."
Elena turned back to her friend, a worried look on her face. "What's going on, Care?"
"Well, while you and Damon were gone…Stefan and I sort of…umm.." she was struggling to find the right words.
"Caroline is my girlfriend" Stefan told them with such ease.
Caroline shot him a grateful smile in the mirror as he sent her another wink.
"What!? How in the world did that happen?" Elena asked, clearly confused.
"It's kind of a long story.." Caroline started, "But it just sort of happened and it's been perfect." She said to her friend with a big smile.
"Well then, I guess there's more congratulations to go around then" Damon said with a smile as he slapped his brother on the back.
Caroline looked back at Elena, who still hadn't said anything, and saw tears in her eyes.
"Elena, what's wrong?" she asked with a worried voice. "Please don't be mad! We weren't trying to take away the thunder from your engagement, we just didn't want you guys to be mad that we didn't tell you right away."
"I'm not mad Caroline. I'm so happy that I'm crying." She said with a laugh and Caroline gave her a confused look.

"Caroline, you've been through so much. You deserve nothing less than the best, and well…you found the best with Stefan." She told her friend with a genuine smile.
"You guys are honestly perfect for each other, and I just couldn't be any happier for the both of you that you found each other, this is amazing." She said as more tears fell.

Caroline was the one crying now. "Oh, Elena, thank you so much. You have no idea how much it means to me to have your blessing on this."
"And me too", Stefan said as he looked back at his girlfriend and best friend. "I am so happy that you and Damon are so happy, and well, Caroline makes me just as happy, so thank you guys for your support." He said as his eyes never left Caroline's.

Both of the girls looked at each other, and as if they could read the other's mind, said, "Now we can go on double dates!"

Stefan and Damon both laughed and groaned at their girls in the back seat.

"I told you she was amazing, didn't I?" Damon said with a smirk.
Stefan let out a small laugh, smiling at his brother. "You sure did, and you were so right. I've never been this happy before Damon, everything just feels right with her", he told his brother.
"I really am happy for you Stefan."
"Thanks big brother, I'm really happy for you too", he told him, both brothers smiling as they listened to their girls rambling and laughing in the back seat. Life was pretty perfect right now for the four friends. What could possibly go wrong?
