"What do you think you are doing?" Thelma asked again as she raised her arms at Bonnie and muttered a spell in Latin as Bonnie stood up and counteracted the spell, before moving back to Damon and cradling his head "Damon? Damon you never shut up when its important, but that's ok, because I love you too. I want to marry you and adopt Davie and Dora but for that to happen you have to fight. I know you can hear me. I LOVE you, I need you to fight for the possibility of us."

"Damon is dead, so fighting me is pointless. Even if you kill me he will not return" Thelma said as she moved closer to Bonnie finally grabbing her by the arms.

"No, he's not dead, but you will be" Bonnie said as she looked at Thelma, unleashing her power, as slash marks appeared on Thelma's face and arms before putting her arms around her neck as another light flashed. Suddenly Emily, Grams and Her father surrounded her. They raised their hands as Bonnie felt their power and added her own.

Thelma laughed at first until she started feeling weak, minute by minute she could feel herself deteriorating as Damon's power began slowly leaving her body.

"NO, what Is happening! I had a deal" Thelma cried out frantically as she looked at the three spirits "you knew what would make the deal null and void" Emily replied in a bored tone.

"I'm tired of being in this old body. I was promised I would have immortality. I did everything you wanted" Thelma screamed out to another figure that made her way to the center.

"Tessa" Bonnie breathed in disbelief as Tessa looked at her and smiled. "Hello Bonnie, it seems as though we meet again since we have another person willing to take your place as the anchor"

"What?" Bonnie yelped as Thelma said "Will it bring me immortality?"

"Yes" Tessa replied with an evil laugh as Bonnie felt a though someone had ripped her apart before hearing Thelma's screams and then a cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared all Bonnie saw was her dad and grams.

"This is bye for now" Her dad said as he stepped forward and hugged her "I love you and I'm so proud of you. Please be happy"

"Dad..I miss you"

"I know baby, but I'm always watching over you"

"Its time for us to leave baby, these people won't stay frozen forever"

"Grams.." Bonnie began as she hugged her.

"I love you Bonnie, now make sure you keep that vampire in line"

"I will but at some point I'm going to have to give up being a witch to be with him. I can't promise him forever and then leave"

"That damn Emily always doing things half ass" Grams complained before reaching in to take out a ring that looked similar to what Damon wore. "I found it in his drawer. He was planning on asking you this morning and then decided not to. I've spelled it, as long as you wear it you will live as long as he will. If you decide you want to be a vampire later on, then it will become your day ring"

Bonnie hugged her Grams before looking at Damon "Maybe I was too late?"

"No honey you were right on time. Salvatore stand up and stop worrying my poor grand baby that you're dead"

Damon smirked before rolling over to stand up next to Bonnie. She looked at him and promptly hit him on the chest "Really Bon? that's the first thing you decide to do?"

"I thought you were still dead moron"

"Nice, so now that I'm out of the woods its back to name calling?"

"I said it with love" Bonnie replied as Grams laughed startling both of them that she was still there.

"Sheila" Damon said as he smiled at her

"Salvatore, you better take good care of her or not I will haunt your ass"

"You have my word. Bonnie will want for nothing"

"I know, which is why we made sure you wouldn't die"

"I'll see you two around" Grams said as she eventually disappeared.

"What did she mean by that? Like around on our honey moon?" Damon asked a horrified look on his face before grabbing Bonnie by her waist as he smirked "For the record, I said I love you first"

Bonnie returned his smile as she wrapped her arms around his neck "You did, however it was because I reciprocated it that you are standing in front of me"

"Yes you saved my ass again""

"This time for purely selfish reasons" before she stepped out of his embrace and raised her arm, unfreezing everybody around them.

Caroline and Stefan walked over to them as Caroline looked at Bonnie's left hand "When did that happen?"

"a few moments ago" Damon replied as Caroline pulled them both in a hug and then said "Can I plan the wedding? When will the wedding be?"

"Actually" Damon began as he glanced down at Bonnie "I was hoping we could get married tonight"

"Tonight?" Caroline and Stefan questioned

Damon shrugged "the entire town is here and we already have a band. Why not celebrate Christmas with our wedding?"

Bonnie grinned up at Damon "That's a good idea but I don't know anyone that will be able to perform a ceremony on Christmas Eve"

"I actually made arrangements earlier" Bonnie looked at him as Damon looked slightly embarrassed before continuing "I had all sorts of scenarios running through my mind...when I thought that the outcome was different"

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"Because I would have been doing it for selfish reasons, what would have happened after I was gone?"

"So let's get married" Bonnie suggested smiling as she grabbed Damon's hand and then stopped and looked at Caroline "you'll be my maid of honor right?"

"Of course I will"

Damon turned to Stefan " that makes you my best man" as Stefan replied "I'm honored to be"

Minutes later the town watched as Caroline walked down the aisle before Bonnie and the husband of the town mayor walked her down the aisle to where Damon was waiting for her.

"Good evening and merry Christmas. It gives me great pleasure to be a part of such a happy occasion. Damon and Bonnie decided to write their own vows"

Bonnie, Since we have been together,
you have made me feel more complete,
more alive, and have shown me the true
meaning of happiness.
I am a better person with you by my side.

That's why today, in front of you, our friends, and our family
I, take you to be my partner,
loving what I know of you,
and trusting what I do not yet know.

Damon, Today, as I give myself to you, my mind is clear and my commitment is strong. All that I am and all that I have to offer you in love and in joy. Because of you, I laugh, I smile, and I dare to dream again.
I join my life to yours. Not merely as your wife, but as your friend, your lover, and you confidant. Let me be the shoulder you lean on, the rock on which you rest, and the companion of your life.

"if there is anyone here who feel that this couple should not be together, speak now or forever hold your peace, By the power vested in me and the state of New York, I pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss your bride"

Damon turned to Bonnie as he placed his arms around her waist and kissed her on the lips.

The minster then said "May I present Mr and Mrs Damon Salvatore" as the town clapped for the newly wedded couple.

The band immediately started playing again as people walked up to Damon and Bonnie congratulating them.

Hours later when most of the town had left and Caroline and Stefan went upstairs to sleep, Damon and Bonnie were on the couch cuddled up in the library.

"I had a song made for you for our wedding"

"that other song was beautiful" Bonnie replied smiling as a Damon returned the smile "I actually wrote this one and then had them record it on a CD"

"thank you, I'll listen to it tomorrow" she said as she yawned slightly before leaning her head on his chest.

"hey Bonnie?"

"hmmm."

"thanks for saying something"

"What?"

"you didn't have to save me"

"I did...I fell in love with you. I wasn't prepared to live in a world where you didn't exist"

Damon was quiet for a moment as Bonnie's statement sunk in. She loved him...for who he was. He didn't know who he had to thank for her, but he did know she would know every day how much he loved and cherished her.
