Bonnie yawned and decided to close her eyes for a few seconds until the bread was toasted. Her head slowly dropped and quickly snapped back up yawning again. You might be asking why this lovely Bennett is tired and it all chalks down to the little one that calls her 'mommy' on a daily basis.

Thomas had a few nightmares the previous night and she and Stefan couldn't get much sleep trying to comfort him when he would wake up crying. Practically sleepwalking, Bonnie threw the bread the was now burnt in the trash, cut off the flames and walked back to her room. She was starving but would delay her hunger not wanting to burn the building down.

She lightly chuckled hearing Stefan snore loudly the closer she got to the room. Usually she couldn't sleep with the noise but she was tired enough to sleep through an earthquake. She pushed Thomas who was resting under Stefan's arm a little closer closer to his father so she could have enough room to get comfortable and as soon as her eyelids shut, Bonnie was fast asleep.

Bonnie woke up with a loud snore sounding like she was some type of farm animal and looked beside her only to see Stefan who had rolled over on his stomach.

"Stef," Bonnie rocked his body rubbing her eyes.

"Just five more minutes." He lifted his arm shooing her away.

"Stefan where's Thomas?"

"He's in the…bathroom."

Bonnie nodded then laid back down and soon she felt Thomas crawl in the bed as well. She felt like crying when he poked her.

"Mommy, I'm hungry."

"Ask your father to fix you a bowl of cereal."

Stefan whined and Bonnie would've laughed if she wasn't so tired.

"Bud, d'you think you could wait five more minutes? Daddy is very tired you can play with the iPad if you want."

"Okay."

Stefan smiled and laid back down and felt like he got up as soon as he closed his eyes when Thomas informed him that five minutes had passed.

"Alright, we got Captain Crunch and Cheerios. Pick your poison."

"Hmm… Cheerios!"

Stefan nodded and got out a bowl, poured some milk, then added the O shaped cereal. Instead of going back to bed, Stefan decided to pour himself a bowl and join Thomas. He knew that if they were planning to have another kid that waking up at all hours of the morning would be apart of his daily routine for some months.

"Hey, Tom, what do think about having a little brother or sister?"

Stefan watched him think while chewing and when he thought he was about to respond, he took a sip of drink instead. Stefan chuckled slightly at his son shaking his head.

"It's okay I guess."

"You guess? You don't want to be a big brother?" Stefan asked then took a bite.

"I don't know, it's too much responsibility."

Stefan almost spit out his cereal laughing at his response. "Bud, you're too funny."

Shortly after the subject changed to Stefan asking him some educational questions, Bonnie decided to get out of bed. Stefan teased her with the line of "look whose risen from the dead" and all she did was give him a sarcastic smile and take her seat beside Thomas.

"I haven't been this tired since Thomas was born." Bonnie said putting her elbows on the table.

"Why are you tired mommy?"

"Well since you went behind our backs and watched that scary movie and had nightmares you kept waking me up."

"I'm sorry."

Bonnie sighed, "I know, just don't do that again."

"But I was trying to watch the Disney channel."

"So next time you wake me or daddy up so we could find it for you instead of you watching a scary movie, okay?"

Thomas nodded looking down. Bonnie rubbed his back, ran her fingers through her hair, then got up to attempt toast for the second time this morning. Shortly after she heard Thomas run off, she was lifted off the ground and sat on the counter. If she wasn't starving she would've been more than turned on, but she wanted her toast.

"You're so sexy." Stefan touched her makeup-less face and kissed her.

Bonnie couldn't help but kiss him back and circle her arms around his neck.

"Let's have a wedding."

"What?" Bonnie pulled away from his lips.

"We could have a small one. You could invite your friends if you want or it could just be us three. I just want to see you walk down the aisle with a white dress so I could just shake my head because I'm the luckiest man on this earth."

Bonnie nodded her head, "Okay."

Stefan smiled and kissed her again holding her closer.

"I have to call Caroline and Elena!" Bonnie hopped off the counter and ran to the room.

Stefan smiled watching her leave then quickly tuned the stove off when he smelt something burning.

Stefan figured that this time was better than any other to come clean. Come clean to his brother that is. He talked it over with Bonnie and they both agreed that it was a good idea. He was getting married and couldn't think of anyone better to attend his wedding other than his big brother Damon Salvatore. Since Damon wasn't the last person that Stefan had touched, he still remembers all their memories and moments together. He remembers how Damon had enough of the abuse that their parents were giving and how he got a job and saved up enough money to get the both of them out of there ASAP. He remembers their struggle for the first year and a half and how he had to grow up fast and get a job to help support. All of that ended up worth it in the end and he could never be more thankful for his brother.

Standing in front of his old house with the numbers 5312 nailed on the side of the threshold, Stefan took a deep breath and meet his knuckles with the wood. Tears swelled up in his eyes finally realizing that he was going to see his brother for the first time in two and a half years, and when the door opened, Stefan felt a tear roll down his cheek.

Damon stood there not believing what was before his eyes. He met his palm with his cheek slapping himself a few times and when the figure of his brother wouldn't go away, Damon didn't know what to think.

"Damon, it's me Stefan."

His brother shook his head, "No, you're dead, this is a dream. I'm dreaming."

Stefan walked further in and placed his hands on the sides of his face searching his eyes.

"Damon, I'm here, I'm alive."

Damon pulled his hands away, "No! You're dead, we buried you I watched as you descended into the ground." He dropped to his knees. "You were dead."

Stefan joins his brother on the floor and pulled him into a hug. Tears were running from both of their eyes and Stefan let out a breath when he felt Damon hug him back.

"How?"

"Bonnie brung me back."

Damon looked up at him with questionable eyes and Stefan started to explain everything. He told his brother about Saul and how he saved him, he told him about how he could appear to Thomas and Bonnie. He told him about Antonio and how everything went down that night and how he lost his memory of Bonnie and his son.

Damon didn't know what to think and quite frankly he didn't care because he had his little brother back. He remembers soaking his lever in alcohol and countless bar fights that he had gotten into when Stefan died. He remembers thinking about ending his own life but then he got the news saying that Stefan's killer had been captured. He was thankful for that phone call because if it hadn't happened at that exact moment, he wasn't sure where he would've been right now.

"There's one more thing, Damon."

"What?"

"Bonnie and I are getting married and I would like it if you would marry us."

"This is all too much." Damon said practically whispering. "I mean I would be honored to, but goodness."

Stefan cracked a smile, "I know it's a lot to take in but I had to tell you."

"I'm glad you did, brother." Damon patted his back and pulled him in another hug still in awe about him being back.

Bonnie wasn't surprised to see both Damon and Stefan walking into the apartment but what she was surprised about was Damon hugging her.

"Thank you for bringing my brother back."

Bonnie smiled and looked over at Stefan who was smiling as well. "Anytime."

Damon pulled away just to hug her again then called out Thomas' name so he could see his nephew.

"Uncle Damon!"

"Tommy boy!"

Damon lifted Thomas in his arms and kissed his cheek. While they started talking about various topics, Stefan walked up to Bonnie and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I called up Bonnie and Caroline."

"What they say?"

"More like screamed." They chuckled.

"You didn't call Bella?"

"I tried but the line was busy but I'll try again later."

Stefan nodded then met their lips only to pull away when Damon cleared his throat.

"Hey sick-o's, your son here wants to go to the park."

Bonnie stopped her eye roll, "Go get your shoes on."

Thomas nodded and ran back to his room only to return with shoes in hand handing them to Damon who helped him put them on. They all decided to go to watch Thomas play and for them just to catch up. Mid-laughing, Bonnie heard her phone ring and looked at the ID to see Bella returning her call. She walked off a little leaving the brothers alone then answered the phone.

"Hey, Bell"

"Hey, Bonnie sorry I couldn't pick up later."

"No, it's fine I just have some news to tell you... I'm getting married!"

"What?! To who?"

Bonnie laughed a little, "Don't you remember that guy that was in the photo?"

"Stefan, right? Bonnie I'm happy for you I don't know him, but he looks good for you. When's the wedding?"

"Soon. I just have to get a dress and find a place and I guess set a date, but soon."

"I call a bridesmaid position!"

"Of course," Bonnie giggled, "you get to meet Caroline and Elena too."

"I hope they like me,"

"I'm sure they will... I'll talk to you later."

The friends exchanged goodbyes and when Bonnie turned around the boys were walking towards her with a sad faced Thomas.

"What happened?"

"He fell off the swing but he took it like a solider, no tears." Damon said.

Bonnie still took his face in her hands searching for scratches or anything out of place.

"Are you okay, baby?" Bonnie asked when she didn't find anything.

Thomas nodded and sucked in.

"You can cry if you want to," she noticed him holding back tears, "I know it hurt."

"I'm okay."

Bonnie picked him up and started walking back towards the apartment forgetting that Stefan and Damon were even there. She's so used to being a single mother that being on her own with Thomas just comes natural to her. The brothers exchanged looks and walked after the mother talking about how Thomas is going to be a mamas boy.

Stefan watched as Bonnie strutted around the room half naked enjoying every move she made. Her hair basically all over the place as she looked through draws for something to wear, her breasts looked good enough to stick his head between in the strapless creme bra. Her stomach, flat with slight abs and if he just met her he never would've guessed that she had a kid. He couldn't wait to picture it round carrying his child hopefully a few times over to expand his family name. The curve of her ass down to the length of her smooth legs down to her pedicured toes. He had to stop himself from staring too hard or he would've had something to deal with later.

"Stefan have you seen that green top I wore last week? I know I washed it I just can't find it."

"No, I haven't seen it."

It wasn't a total lie he's seen it a few days ago in one of his draws, the set of draws that Bonnie didn't even bother looking through and after watching her struggle some more, he got up to help her look for it and is that...is that the shirt she was looking for?

"Is this it?"

Bonnie turned and cavorted running into his arms.

"Thank you," she said then pressed a kiss to his lips.

"Don't I get a little more?" Stefan asked pulling her closer. "I mean I did find your shirt."

Bonnie smiled and rolled her eyes slightly. They stayed where they were both wanting the other to make the first move. His fingers graced the start of her ass letting her know what he'll do once she makes her move. Bonnie bites her lower lip then raises her heels some to meet her lips with his. Stefan smiles from the moan he gets from her when he grips her fat.

"Five minutes." Stefan says walking her back.

"Close the door."

He uses her back to obey her command and lifts her legs around his waist carrying her to the bed.

She didn't have time to take a good shower before she left so she hoped that she didn't smell like sex when looking for a dress. She didn't want to get anything too fancy or something over the top, just a simple, nice white dress…with a train…and a few gems…and something that makes her feel like a princess.

She drove to pick up Bella before driving to the hotel to meet Caroline and Elena.

"Who's ready to shop?" Caroline asked once everyone was introduced.

"Lets do this!"

While the girls were out shopping, Stefan decided to pay Antonio a visit. If it wasn't for him, Stefan doesn't know if he would've been here right now. He preformed the spell to bring him back and he wanted to thank him for giving his life back. He only knew one place to find him and that was at his shop and to his luck, he was there.

"Hey,"

"Stefan, right?"

"Yeah, listen man I just want to thank you for everything that you've done for me and I'm so thankful."

"Don't sweat it, man. I saw how much Bonnie loves you and I couldn't pass it up."

Stefan smiled and nodded. "Hey, listen Bonnie and I are getting married soon and I would like it if you came. We don't have an exact day yet, but I would appreciate it of you stopped by."

"Absolutely and congratulations."

"Thanks, I'll give you an invite or I'll have Bonnie call you."

The men shook hands and Stefan pulled him into a hug before walking out.

This was the one. Everyone thought so and it was the only dress she tried on that made her feel like a bride. The bad news was that it was a little over her price range, but her friends so generously offered to pitch in because they couldn't see her in anything else.

The heart shaped neckline and tight bustier covered with crystals down to the ball gown skirt (that she wants to take a few layers off), and the train of the veil that covered the back of her head cascading down her back and onto the floor.

"This is the dress." Bonnie said looking in the mirror flating out the skirt some.

Her friends came up to hug her all expressing their excitement and saying that they couldn't believe that she was getting married. Bonnie couldn't believe that she was getting married. In her mind the only person that she wanted to marry was Stefan and that seemed impossible until a month ago. She was happy and she was excited and the only thing that was on her mind right now was setting a date and walking down that aisle.

The date was set, the venue was picked. The cake was ordered and the invites were out. Damon was certified and made sure to practice his script every morning and night until the big day. The soon-to-be's were in love more than ever and couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces even if they tried. With the help of Damon, Stefan went to go pick out a band to accompany Bonnie's ring and was on his way out when he decided to get her a new ring all together. He wanted this to be their fresh start and he wanted to give her a ring to symbolize that start. The rose gold ring was the one to catch his eye with its diamonds surrounding the band, he couldn't pass it up. Paying in cash that he's saved up since he was ten, glad that Damon didn't decide to throw away his belonging in the boardinghouse, Stefan paid for the ring and planned to give it to her for Christmas which was just a few hours away. He made sure to stop at a toy store to get Thomas that truck that he's been begging for and a little something for Bonnie's friends who would be coming over for Christmas dinner over at the boardinghouse.

Stefan arrived home and quickly hid the gifts he bought under the pile of clothes in his drawer. Bonnie wasn't home yet but he decided to wait until everyone was asleep before he boxed and wrapped the gifts not wanting to take any chances.

Feeling a little bored, he went out for a walk getting familiar with the place. He hasn't been around much besides the store and all the other times he was drove somewhere but he never got to experience downtown Mystic Falls on a more personal level. It was a quiet little town with all sorts of shops on every corner and all different kinds of folk either with coffee cups in their hands or their phones not paying much of their surroundings any attention. By the time he gets back, it looks as if Bonnie had just gotten in herself.

"Was the dress fixed to your liking?" Stefan asked after kissing her.

"Yes, everything is perfect." She smiled, "what'd you do today?"

He watched as she took off her coat and laid it on the back of the chair then fixed her sweater.

"I went a little shopping for tomorrow."

"What did you get?"

"That's a surprise, you'll have to wait."

"Can I get a hint?"

"Nope."

"Pleeeaaassaseeeee"

Stefan shook his head, "No, Thomas, you'll just have to be patient."

Bonnie chuckled and kisses him to which he grabbed her hips kissing her back just as needly.

"What time is T's rehearsal over?"

The daycare that Thomas attends, is throwing a holiday play which would be preformed later tonight. He was the Christmas tree and had a small talking and singing solo that Bonnie has helped him practice a few times when she found out the news.

"In a few minutes which gives us no time." Bonnie said knowing what was on his mind.

"Next time then." Stefan pulled her in for another kiss then they left to go pick up their son.

They arrived just in time as the kids and teachers were spilling out the building ready to be picked up. Stefan watched from the mirror as Bonnie walked up to Thomas who was running toward her. He squints his eyes before they widen as he watches Bonnie shout running up to him and pushes Thomas to the side to let herself get hit by the car instead. Stefan jumps out of the car but is blocked from moving any further by his seat belt. He practically rips the belt off before running up to her sliding some on his knees when he reached her face. Thomas is crying loudly in the background but he couldn't remove his eyes from her. His hands shook as he touched the side of her face and tears fell from his eyes.

"Bonnie," Stefan couldn't bring himself to any other words they all got stuck in his throat.

The sounds of sirens filled the air and soon Stefan was asked to back away so they could assist her. He looked around for Thomas and saw him watching with a tear stained face.

"Are you okay, bud?" Stefan asked noticing some scratches on his face.

"I'm okay, dad."

Stefan hugged him and kissed his cheek lifting him in his arms. Dodging everyone and their questions, Stefan buckled Thomas in his car seat and followed behind the ambulance.

He was trying to stay calm for Thomas but was finding the wait hard. His foot bounced rapidly but stopped when Caroline placed her hand on his knee.

"She'll be fine, Stefan."

He nodded and let out a breath then stood up once he heard her name.

"Bonnie Bennett, I'm looking for Bonnie Bennett, I'm her father."

"Mr. Bennet,"

The worried father turned and thought that his eyes were playing with him because he came to face the man that he saw die two years ago.

"S-Stefan?"

The man in question walked up to him and hugged him and they both let tears slide down their cheeks both crying for two reasons.

Stefan waited with his head down waiting for his love to wake up. He was glad when the doctor said that surgery went well and that she would be fine and all he had to do was wait. Rudy took Thomas over his house and Stefan promised to call him as soon as she woke up.

Her finger twitched catching his attention and shortly her eyes peeling open.

"Bonnie?"

"Stefan?" Her voice was broken and fragile but he understood.

"It's me, baby." Stefan moved up to kiss her head and ran his hand along the top of her head.

He got in the bed with her when she started to cry, "It's okay, you're okay."

"I was pregnant, Stefan."

"What?"

"When the doctor told me," she choked, "the news it was like my heart stopped. I was pregnant, Stefan but I lost it. I lost our baby." He was scared to wrap his arms around her scared to break her even more. He just caressed the side of her face and wiped her tears away.

"Don't focus on that," Stefan shook his head, "happiness; remember? You're alive you get to live."

"But the baby-"

"Maybe we can try again. I'm just happy that you're okay." Stefan kissed her lips before her forehead. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Stefan moved his head to look in her eyes and he hated seeing so much pain and loss in them. He placed his hand on her gently on her stomach letting a tear slip from his eye as they silently mourned their lost child.

A few hours later, Bonnie woke up next to Stefan who had his hand placed lightly on her back. She smiled at his sleepy state and carefully placed her hand on the side of his face causing him to stir a little but remain asleep.

"Stefan— Stef,"

"Hmm?"

"Is Thomas okay?"

"He's fine. He has some scratches but he's okay." Stefan said opening his eyes.

"Is he with Damon?"

"No, he's with your father who I should call by the way." He remembered.

"Wait, you saw my dad?"

"Yeah I asked Damon to call him."

"Did he see you?"

He nodded, "Yeah. He didn't ask much questions like I thought he would've. We sat down and I told him and he just accepted it like it was nothing."

"That's good I guess."

"Yeah. I should call him to let him know that you're up and maybe him and T would like to stop by."

Bonnie nodded and Stefan kissed her before getting up to make the call. While Stefan was outside, the nurse came to check in on Bonnie to see if everything was going good; which it was. She had broken ribs, wrist and arm and she was thankful for the pain killers or else she wouldn't be feeling as well as she is. The nurse told her that it was a miracle that she didn't suffer from internal bleeding and that she had a guardian angle up there and Bonnie ghostly smiled thinking of who it was. Stefan returned shortly and had a little talk with the nurse before she left.

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm okay. My side hurts but I'm fine."

"Do you want me to get you something to eat?" Stefan asked smoothing out her hair.

"I'm fine," Bonnie yawned. "I'm just a little tired."

"Well get some rest, I'll be here when you wake up, alright?" Bonnie nodded and Stefan pressed a kiss to her lips. "I love you."

"I love you too."

They kissed again before Bonnie shut her eyes only to wake up an hour and a half later to Thomas' face. She smiled at him glad to see that he was okay, even though Stefan said that he was fine it was still nice to see it for herself. She turned her head hearing voices then saw her father and Stefan talking before turning noticing that she was up.

"Hey, baby girl."

"Hey, dad,"

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm good. Just a little sore, but I'm fine."

Rudy smiled and kissed her forehead. She then turned to Thomas who was calling her name,

"I'm sorry, mommy."

"This isn't your fault, T, okay?"

He nodded and Bonnie kissed his head hugging him with her good arm.

"Wait shouldn't you be getting ready for your play?"

"I don't want to go."

"What? But you're the best Christmas tree that ever stepped foot on stage. I say you go and show everyone just how good you are, alright?"

"But you can't see me..."

"Daddy can record it for me and when it's over, we can all watch it together, okay?"

Thomas nodded and crawled out the bed pulling his fathers arm telling him to hurry up. Bonnie smiled watching them leave.

Stefan hoped that he got everything he made sure to get the video camera and charged battery then helped Thomas with his costume but he felt like he was forgetting something but if he kept waiting they would be late.

Pulling up to the school, Stefan grabbed Thomas' hand as they crossed the street and took him back to were the other students were.

"Thomas! I wasn't expecting you here."

"Mommy said that she wanted be to go."

Ms. Sims smiled and told him to get ready while she talked to Stefan.

"Good luck out there, bud."

"Thanks, dad." Ms. Sims raised an eyebrow.

Stefan kissed his head and watched him go back with the other kids.

"How's Bonnie doing, Mr...?"

"You can call me Stefan and Bonnie's doing fine, thanks for asking."

"That's wonderful I was meaning to stop by but I got so caught up with everything."

"That's fine, I'll tell Bonnie that she's on your mind."

She smiled, "I should get back to the kids."

Stefan nodded and said his goodbye finding Rudy along with Damon in the crowd. The girls had planned to come but decided to keep Bonnie company which he figured was best. He found his seat just in time as he pressed the record button and the light dimmed.

One by one, each holiday was presented but Stefan wasn't paying much attention, he was mainly looking at Thomas who was nervously mouthing his lines in the background. Damon cheered loudly as his nephew stepped in the spotlight.

"Christmas is celebrated on December 25th by many people across the nation. It celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ and every year we get presents to celebrate."

Bonnie smiled widely watching the recording on the computer with everyone crowed around. She really wanted to skip the rest until his little solo part but waited it out. When 'We Wish you A Merry Christmas' started playing, the smile went on her face again waiting until Thomas stepped up.

"We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!"

"Yay, Thomas!"

He smiled and Bonnie looked over at Stefan who was smiling too and realized that their smiles were identical. Lips pulled back to their teeth, puffy cheeks and eyes sparkling. It caused her to smile but then it faded realizing that possibly their lost son or daughter could've had that same smile.

"Are you okay, Bon?" Elena somewhat whispered.

"Yeah. I'm fine."

Elena knew that it meant she was anything but fine and made a note to talk to her as soon as she could get her alone.
