Bonnie woke up wrapped in Stefan's arms. Whenever she woke up in his arms she felt protected and secure. All the worries in the world faded and she felt peaceful; he was her safe house. She looked over her shoulder and saw that his eyes were still closed as his quiet snores filled the room. Bonnie had to use the bathroom but she felt too comfortable in his arms and she didn't want to wake him. As the urge became stronger, she tried to wiggle herself free but Stefan's hold was too strong. All the wiggling around woke Stefan up from his slumber. He smiled and tightened his grip around his love. He kissed her hair and pulled her in closer to his chest.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

Stefan flipped them over and he kissed Bonnie's lips. Moans began to fill the air as Stefan moved his hands down alongside her back tightening the hold around the end of her glutes. He twisted his head to the side to capture more of her lenient lips making the kiss messier.

"I don't mean to ruin the mood but," Bonnie spoke between kisses.

"So don't"

"Stefan if we don't stop we're both going to be covered with my pee."

"Mood ruined."

Stefan let go of his love and she scurried to the bathroom. He chuckled at the site as he laid his head back on the pillows. He let his mind wonder and eventually his thoughts brought him years later down the road. He imagined Bonnie and him living in their home with a mini Bonnie running around. Stefan had always wanted kids before he turned. His plan was to marry a village girl become a doctor and have lots of children. He wanted to have five children he always wanted to be a father; someone that his children could look up to. With Bonnie he felt like he could have a chance at fatherhood, maybe she would consider adopting. He however, wouldn't tell her about these things because he wanted her to have her own opinion and didn't want her to do anything solely because of him. He wanted her to want to have a family and to want a mini her or Stefan. Of course it would mean the world to him if she did, but he had her and that would be all he needed.

Moments later Bonnie returned snapping him out of his thoughts and started jumping up and down in the bed. She grabbed one of the many soft pillows filling the bed and started hitting the vampire with it. Stefan looked at her with an eyebrow arched in the air.

"So what's the plan for today?" She continued to jump and hit him playfully with the pillow.

"Well first I'm going to kick your ass in this pillow fight and then we'll go exploring."

Stefan grabbed a pillow and took a few swings at Bonnie hitting her legs. Bonnie went to hit his face but he blocked it with his hand. He sat up and pulled Bonnie down on the bed.

"No more monkeys jumping on the bed."

"You're such a lame-mo."

Stefan slapped her butt and rolled out of bed. Bonnie followed him to the bathroom and started to brush her teeth. Bonnie faced Stefan smiling wide scrubbing her teeth with the paste. Stefan turned to her and made a funny face which made Bonnie spit out her toothpaste only to land on her love's face. Bonnie laughed to the ceiling as Stefan was wiping the toothpaste away with a smile.

"I'm sorry babe." She helped him clean off his face

Bonnie spit the rest of the paste in the sink and rinsed her mouth. They got dressed and took a seat on the bench in front of the piano. The sound of the instrument filled the suite as Stefan played a soothing melody. Bonnie looked at his hands moving swiftly across the keys then back up at him.

"When did you learn how to play the piano?"

"A long time ago, my mother taught me when I was little. I haven't played in a while so it's nice you know? It brings me back to my childhood and it feels like every time I play she's here with me." He smiled.

Mrs. Salvatore had passed just around the time Katherine had shown up at the house. He often wondered to himself if that's the reason why he was so attached to Katherine; she was the only female that loved him like his mother had. He fell under her spell quickly not only because she was beautiful and kind (at the moment) but she would take charge and would be a strong woman much like his mother. That could be another reason as to why he also fell for Bonnie quickly. She was strong and loving and always knew how to cheer him up and make him whole without him having to say a word. She got him, and he her, they just clicked from day one.

"Since when did you learn how to sing?"

"A long time ago," Bonnie chuckled, "I don't know it just came naturally. My mother knows how to sing so I guess that I got it from her." Bonnie looked down.

Before Abby left her and her father putting up the deuces and driving off, one of Bonnie favorite memories was when she used to sing to her before bed. Bonnie was surprised that she could still remember those moments shared between them, because she was

at such a young age. She would always beg her mom to sing famous nursery rhymes like, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Her mother had a beautiful voice and every once in a while Bonnie would find herself missing it.

Bonnie studied Stefan's hands trying to figure out how such a beautiful song could come from just pressing down on a few keys.

Stefan noticed her staring, "Do you want me to teach you?"

Bonnie looked up at him and nodded her head. Stefan placed her on his lap, grabbed her hands and placed them the keys.

"You get the simple part so it's D, E flat, F, D flat, D flat."

Stefan showed her the first part of "Give Me Love" and a few hours later Bonnie knew how to play it up to the chorus. Bonnie smiled at Stefan when they both played at the same time. She messed up in a few spots but it was good for her first lesson. He smiled back and kissed her cheek.

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah let me just grab my purse."

After Bonnie grabbed the things that she needed they headed out the door. She had her camera in hand itching to take pictures of the beautiful capital.

"Six on the second hand till new year's resolutions
There's just no question what this man should do
Take all the time lost, all the days that I cost
Take what I took and give it back to you"

Before the couple started their journey around Moscow they grabbed something to eat at the Sky Lounge. It had an amazing view of the capital as Bonnie so tourist-ly snapped a picture of it when they were seated. They were handed a menu but of course it was all in Russian. She sat the menu down on the table and stared at Stefan who was too busy looking at the menu in front of him. The waiter returned and Bonnie assumed she asked what they wanted. Stefan told her the order and Bonnie was a bit turned on by his Russian accent.

"You're so sexy you know that?" Bonnie said as the waiter left.

She rubbed her heel timidly up his calf muscles and stared into his eyes. Stefan gave her a seductive grin and leaned closer to her.

"Ты сексуальна как ад"

Bonnie had no idea what he said but she shivered as he said it licking his lips. As soon as Bonnie was going to get a taste of those lips she loves so well, the waiter arrived once again with their meal.

Damn how fast is this place? Bonnie thought to herself.

She sat their food down in front of them and refilled their drinks before she left to attend another couple across the room.

"This is Zharkoye; it's a stew with potatoes, onions, carrots, beef and other veggies, it's really good, one of my favorites."

Stefan took spoon full and fed it to Bonnie. She closed her eyes as she enjoyed the flavor letting her shoulders sink down.

"This is heaven." She swallowed.

Stefan let out a chuckle and moved to the next thing he ordered. "This is Shashlik; it's like a cabob, but instead of beef its lamb."

He slid one of the lamb cubes from the stick and placed it into Bonnie's mouth as she slid her lips over his fingers as he released the cube. She licked her lips staring in his eyes enjoying the flavor in her mouth.

"How do you like that?" He asked.

Bonnie couldn't help but think that question had a double meaning but was trying to keep those thoughts away. They were in a public place and had probably already gained a few stares and whispers.

"Fantastic." She took another bite.

The rest of their lunch was less R rated as they talked about themselves and their families. They were still trying to figure each other out; getting to know each other better. Neither of them were open books so they kept things quiet but at times like these when it was just them sitting face to face they let things out and told stories. Stefan didn't really have a lot of good stories to tell so whenever he could he would add a joke here and there which made Bonnie laugh to the heavens. He would smile every time she would and he loved how happy he felt when he was around her and vice versa.

"All this time we were waiting for each other
All this time I was waiting for you
We got all these words, can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line running back to you"

When they finished their meal Stefan called over the waiter to pay the bill. After everything was paid for, they walked out hand-in-hand ready to see more of Moscow.

Their first stop was the Kremlin. It overlooked the Moskva River to the south and Saint Basil's Cathedral to the east. It includes five palaces, four cathedrals and the enclosing Kremlin Wall with Kremlin towers. Bonnie stood in front of the wall with the view of the Moskva River as her background and Stefan snapped a picture of his beaut. They then stood together and snapped a picture of Stefan kissing her cheek.

They enjoyed the flowing river for a while and then decided to enter. When they went in the Kremlin Bonnie's mouth shot open. There were beautiful paintings all over the dome shaped walls and Bonnie went snapping away. She admired the masterpieces thinking to herself how long it must have took to create such beautiful works of art.

"I don't know what day it is, I had to check the paper
I don't know the city but it isn't home
You say I'm lucky to love something that loves me
But I don't as I could be wherever I roam"

Just a few blocks down they reached the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. The cathedral was beautiful with its gold trimming and domes. Bonnie snapped a picture of the stunning building before they entered. Much like the Kremlin there were striking paintings on the walls but these were holy pictures.

Looking up she could see a painting of God with the sunlight behind him with what looked like water surrounding him. She zoomed in as far as she could and snapped a picture of the holy painting. Stefan whispered a few facts in her ears about the cathedral as they walked their way through. Stefan wasn't the type of person that liked to be in pictures but that didn't stop Bonnie from snapping a few of him here and there. He gave her the angry eye hoping that she would get is signal but she just took a picture of that giggling as they made their way out.

"All this time we were waiting for each other
All this time I was waiting for you
Got all these words, can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line running back to you"

Their next stop was Red Square. Bonnie started to get a little inpatient because she really wanted to visit Saint Basil. Stefan told her to hold on a while, he wanted her to see it when the sun went down.

They walked around the square and took a picture beside the statue. Bonnie could see Saint Basil out the corner if her eye but she tried not to look at it. They visited a few small shops and Bonnie made sure to pick up souvenirs for Caroline and Elena like she had promised to do before they left. She got them these handmade bracelets and herself one too so they could wear it wherever and so that everyone knew that they were best friends. Bonnie slid the small bag in her purse as they made their way out. After a few interactions with the locals the sun began to set and they made their way towards the towers.

"Oh, I would travel so far
I would travel so far
To get back where you are"

Stefan was right from all the glances that she had of the Cathedral it did look better at night. It had this astonishing glow to it as the street lights surrounded it. Bonnie took some pictures of the towers making sure to get every angle imaginable. They stood far enough from the tower so that they could see it fully. Stefan took a picture of Bonnie standing in front of the cathedral then one of them together. Bonnie had the biggest smile on her face as she went through the pictures on her camera. She looked up at Stefan as he pushed a lock of hair behind her ear and smiled.

"What?" Bonnie questioned still smiling.

"Bon, I just love to see you smile."

She stood on her tippy toes and kissed her love. Stefan pulled out of the kiss to look her in the eyes one more time before he got down on one knee.
