We Are a Family Now

In the finale nobody had to die to kill Katherine. Enzo is alive and Stefan is a vampire.

Not my characters.

Julie Plec owns these characters.

Chapter 1:

Elena's POV

I woke up Damon's room in the Salvatore House and came face to face with Bonnie who smiled at me said, "I finally did it. It took some time but I did it." "Where are Damon and the others", I asked. "They are all saying goodbye to Tyler." I was shocked to hear that Tyler was gone but was also to hear that Damon killed him. I had no idea about what had happened in the four years that I was not with them but I had a feeling that whatever it was it wasn't good. I got up and we made our way towards the graveyard where they buried his parents and saw a beautiful chamber set up out there. I saw people inside and my eyes lit up on seeing Care and Stefan but they moved to the side as Damon stepped out from behind them and I felt an invisible force pulling me towards him. I saw a smile come on his face as I flung myself in his arms and kissed him passionately and wound my arms around his neck. I really missed these arms even in my subconscious state this is what I had missed the most. I pulled back and smiled at him and then went to Caroline and Stefan. I hugged them both with tears in my eyes and a smile on my face. Care whispered that she had missed me in my ear. Stefan held me tight and kissed my forehead. I smiled as I watched him go and stand before Care when I noticed the rings on Caroline and Stefan's fingers. I gasped and congratulated them. I went inside and said goodbye to Tyler and then we all headed home.

When we reached home they all sat down and told me what had happened in the four years I was not with them. I was shocked to know that they had gone through so much in my absence. Most of all I was hurt at what Damon had to go through without me being there to hold him if he was feeling low or needed me to be there for him. Everyone left after that. Care and Stefan left for their honeymoon, Bonnie went to Enzo who was waiting for her and only Damon and I were left at home. Matt the new sheriff went out on his duty. The environment between us felt more hostile than before indicating that Matt resented us more than before.

I finally had Damon alone to me and we had to catch up on a lot. I knew that Damon was hurting and I wanted to help him with that. "Damon I am so sorry about what you had to go through during this time. Enzo told me about that Hellstone thing and the time when you thought that you had killed me. Ugh! I wish that I was here with you but….." Damon covered my mouth with his hand and stopped my ranting. "I am just glad that you are here now. Nothing else matters anymore." he said to me. I could not control myself anymore and threw myself at him. I kissed him hard and poured all my love into that one kiss. I could feel him hardening against my thigh and I felt myself getting turned on. He picked me and carried me to our room and threw me on the bed. There was no time for foreplay or sweet lovemaking, which will come later. Right now we needed each other desperately; I needed to know that Damon wanted me as much as I wanted him even now. We both quickly stripped out of our clothes and Damon climbed the bed on top of me. He kissed me hard and entered me. I sighed contentedly at being connected with him intimately like this after such a long time. He set a pace which brought us to our peaks quickly. We both cried out and fell over the cliff together.

Damon collapsed on top of me and I was happy to feel his weight trapping me in. He moved over after a while and I groaned wanting him back on top of me. He chuckled and pulled me to him and said, "Go to sleep for now. You've had a long day. We'll talk tomorrow when you are feeling more awake." We fell asleep entangled with each other.

Enzo's House

Bonnie's PoV:

I was happy to be in the arms of the love of my life. I shuddered at thinking what would have happened if I had not been able to stop Stefan from doing what he was about to do. I was glad that my anger towards Stefan had triggered my magic and I was able to give that witchy migraine to him. "Love, what are you thinking about? You are exceptionally quiet." Enzo asked me and brought me out of my thoughts. "Just how happy I am to be with you and that you did not leave me." He pulled me closer to him and said, "You got your magic back and saved me. I owe you my life Bonnie Bennett." I looked at him pointedly and said, "I do not owe your life, by saving your life I protected my heart from breaking. I love you Lorenzo St. John, never forget that you are my life now." "Love, Elena is awake now and I think that Damon will want the cure now. It is a good thing that I am a vampire or else I would have been aging and losing my teeth like Katherine did." Enzo reminded me. "I know and I have to talk to Damon and Elena about that." I replied. "Let's just go to sleep now, we can ponder over this later." Enzo said snuggled me against his chest, happy to be in each other's arms for the moment. I heard his breathing even out as he fell asleep. I stayed up for bit thinking about how could I make sure that Enzo and I get our happily ever after. I fell asleep with ideas floating in my head but none too clear.
