When Stefan agreed to help his sister with her wedding, he had no idea how much stuff there was to plan. He doesn't blame Michael for not wanting to be so involved now that he's seen all the work that needed to be done. They would bicker over a few things, but in the end, they got things done.

All that Bonnie could do was smile. She felt as if she played her part in the making up of the Salvatore twins (Stefan hated when she said that), and it was all thanks to a little dinner. It was starting to get to her head, she was thinking about being some type of counselor or therapist once the baby is the right age, but for now, she'll stick with the twins.

"Can you imagine if I was pregnant with twins? How crazy would that've been?"

"I think the word you're looking for is exhausting," Stefan said joining her on the bed.

She smiled as he stopped to kiss her belly before her.

"Speaking of exhausting," Bonnie said as Stefan rested his head on her chest, "how's the wedding planning going?"

He let out a long sigh then waited a few seconds before answering. "Okay. I mean I have no idea what the hell is going on sometimes, but Sash seems to and if she likes it I would mainly agree with whatever it was."

"Mainly?"

"Yeah, like she wanted this big ass fuc-"

"Stefan, watch your language, I read that the baby could start hearing now."

"Really?" He looked up at her as she nodded her head. "Well, she wanted these… huge centerpieces and I was like, 'you can barely see over these things' and she's like 'well they're pretty so I think I'm going to get them'." Bonnie chuckled at his impression of his sister. "But I convinced her to not get them and to stick with the candles that she had picked out in the first place."

The couple grew silent for a while then Stefan remembered something.

"Oh yeah, while I'm at work tomorrow, Sash wants you to go dress shopping with her."

"Cool, sounds like fun."

Stefan smiled and rested his head back on her chest facing her baby bump. He smiled again and ran his hand along it wanting to hold his son or daughter in his arms very badly.

"Tell me again why we didn't choose to find out the sex of our child?"

"I think it was mainly for dramatic effect, but now I'm thinking we should know so we could start buying and decorating." Bonnie thought.

"Yeah, I'll make us an appointment and we'll go during my lunch break."

"Okay. So totally random subject change; have you talked to your parents since the dinner?"

Bonnie doesn't know why but that was the main thing that's been on her mind for the past week. She couldn't stand the thought of them losing contact just because of a disagreement and she hated that she was one of the causes of that disagreement. Neither of them wanted to jump into marriage yet, but ever since Stefan gave her a ring, Bonnie knew that it wasn't completely out of the question. She knew that it wouldn't happen soon but hoped that it would later.

"Ah," Stefan thought back, "I think it was about two weeks ago? They just were checking up on everything."

"Do you know how they feel about the whole marriage situation?"

He shrugged. "I mean I'm sure their minds haven't changed but in the long run, I don't think that they would care if we're married or not. All their focus will be on this baby right here."

"Our kid is going to be spoiled rotten."

"We can't let it get too out of hand, we'll hide some gifts and maybe give a few spankings."

Bonnie chuckled. "Yeah, that sounds like a plan."

Stefan looked up and moved further up her body to meet their lips. Bonnie brought her arms around his neck as his kisses continued.

"Speaking of spankings," Bonnie said pulling away, "I think you need some punishment for your potty mouth."

"I think I do too."

Stefan leaned down to meet their lips again but Bonnie moved her head away.

"Rub my feet."

Stefan rolled his eyes. "Yes, my queen."

"Those are the words that I like to hear."

"What about 'I love you'?"

"It's a close second." She joked.

Stefan shook his head and made his way to the end of the bed to give his lady a foot massage.

Was it strange that Bonnie was living bi-curiously through Sasha? A (hopefully) lovely wedding in the midst, getting to pick out centerpieces and flowers, and now the dress. Sasha looked beautiful in the ones that she's tried on so far, but none of them seemed to be the one for her, and Bonnie didn't want to rush her, but she was hungry and whenever she would go back to try something else on, Bonnie would stuff the crackers that Stefan packed her in her mouth. She almost got caught one time Sasha came back and she still had some in her mouth, but she somehow pulled it off.

"Alright, this is the one!" Bonnie said watching Sasha walk down.

"You think?" Sasha said looking at herself in the mirror.

"Definitely, you look gorgeous." Caroline agreed.

The dress consultant went to put a veil on her head and Bonnie had to stop the tears from flowing. After a few more minutes of examination, Sasha decided to get the dress after wanting a few altercations.

After the dress shopping, they all decided to go out to eat which Bonnie was mainly happy about. A burger, french fries, and shake later, Bonnie was home laying on the bed. Stefan would be home any minute and she hoped that he was in a bad mood because that's when he was the sexiest, she found.

She smiled when she heard the door shut and his mumbling as he stomped up the stairs.

"Hard day at work?" Bonnie asked sitting up as he walked in.

"I would love to tell you about my day but I will use every bad word in the damn book... Shit, I mean darn book."

Bonnie chuckled and stretched out her arms. Stefan sat down his briefcase and walked over to her. She hugged his head and kissed him.

"You know I never asked you what you do."

"I work in a boring office with boring people and a donkey for a boss."

"Sounds like fun." Bonnie joked.

Stefan smiled then kissed her again. "How was shopping?"

Bonnie sighed. "It was good I guess."

Stefan narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

"I mean I felt like I was more excited about it than she was. She wasn't excited about any of the dresses even though she looked amazing in them. I just..." Bonnie dropped her sentence.

"What?"

"I, I mean this could just be me, but I don't think she wants to get married or at least not yet."

"Huh."

"What was that for?"

"Well she got into a fight with Michael when we went to dinner so maybe she's still mad?"

"That's a long time to be mad, don't you think?" Pause. "I just hope everything is okay over there."

Stefan kissed her forehead and headed to the bathroom to shower leaving Bonnie with her thoughts.

ǁǁǁǁ

Sasha returned home and called out her fiancé's name but didn't receive an answer. She assumed that he would've been back by now but shrugged and walked up to their room to dropped her bags off then went downstairs for a glass of water.

"How was shopping?"

Sasha gasped and placed her hand over her heart. "Gosh, you scared me. I didn't hear you come in."

Michael smiled and walked over to her, "I was already here, I was just in the library."

"Oh," Sasha said as he circled his arms around her and placed a kiss to her lips.

"Are you still mad at me?" He asked because of the look in her eyes.

"Well, it's kind of hard to not be."

"I'm sorry, I should've never did what I did. I was just upset and a little tipsy."

She rolled her eyes. "Whatever. I'm tired and going to take a nap." Sasha was walking away but felt a pull on her arm stopping her from taking another step. "Let go of me."

"You can't just walk away from me."

"I can and will if you would just let go." Sasha said pulling her arm out of his grip.

She made it out the kitchen before he pulled her back again and slapped her. Sasha covered her cheek with her hand with her eyes welling with tears.

"You do not walk away from me, do you understand?"

"Yes."

Michael smiled, kissed her then pulled her in for a hug. "I'm sorry." He apologized.

"It's okay."

After ending the hug, Sasha waited a while before finally going upstairs. She pulled out her phone ready to tell Stefan about what's been going on but didn't want Michael to get hurt. She loves him even if he does hit her every now and then, she knew that he still loves her.

Sighing, she put her phone back in her purse and decided to take a shower.

ǁǁǁǁ

Stefan shook his head waiting by the stairs. They had a party to set up and needed to get a few things and she was running late yet again.

"Babe, get your a- self down here!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

Stefan smiled at her as she made her way down the stairs. She looked so cute in her all white, thin strapped maxi dress. He met her at the end of the stairs and pressed a kiss to her lips then her belly. They had their appointment a few days ago and found out that they were having a baby boy. Bonnie really wanted to have a girl, but realized that having a boy as her first child would be best that way if she had a daughter sometime down the road, she knew that he would protect her through everything.

They decided to not tell anyone yet because Bonnie wanted to have a gender revealing party. Stefan has never heard of a revealing party before but he had to admit that the idea she found was pretty cool.

They would get a dozen blue helium balloons and stuff them all into a box that they would decorate and once everyone's gathered they would open the box letting the balloons float to the sky letting the blue balloons tell everyone that they were having a boy.

The party was later that day so they were heading to the party store to get the balloons.

"You're so beautiful." Stefan said walking with the balloons in his hand.

"Thanks, babe. I hope our son turns out to look like you."

"He would be pretty dashing."

Bonnie laughed, "Dashing?"

Stefan only shrugged placing the balloons in the back seat.


Bonnie had a wide smile on her face greeting each guest as they walked in the house. She greeted Elena with a hug and walked with her to the backyard excited to tell everyone the great news.

"Hey, have you seen Sash? She said that she'll be here." Stefan asked.

"Not yet, but we'll wait for her."

Bonnie could tell that Stefan was worried and she honestly didn't know what for, but she decided to call her to make sure that everything was alright. Sasha picked up on the third ring and already announced that she was three minutes away before Bonnie could get a word out. Bonnie smiles and hangs up the phone and walked over to tell Stefan that she was on her way.

Once she arrived, the parents to be gathered everyone in front of the table that held the box while they stood behind it.

"So as you know we found out the sex of our baby and we're happy to announce that we're having..." Stefan opened the box letting the blue balloons shoot up, "A boy!" Bonnie announced.

Everyone clapped and cheered and a few 'I knew its' were heard through the crowd of people. Bonnie smiled while looking around at her friends, family, and possibly soon-to-be relatives. Looking through all the smiling faces she frowned when her eyes landed on Sasha. She was smiling at first but when Michael walked up behind her and whispered something in her ear, the smile faded and she looked somewhat scared. Bonnie nudged Stefan and discreetly pointed in his sister's direction. At first, Stefan didn't know what she was pointing to, but when his eyes landed on his sister and Michael, he didn't like what he saw. Bonnie saw Stefan puff his chest out and walk over to the engaged couple, she was going to stop him at first but decided with letting him be a brother.

"Sis, can I talk to you for a second?"

He saw the look of hesitation on her face then watched her turn to Michael and when he told her that she could, she smiled at him and nodded. Stefan grabbed his sister's hand walking her inside and the move that she just made had him grow angrier than he already was.

"What's going on with you and Michael?" Stefan asked once they were alone.

She looked at him strangely, "Nothing. Why do you ask?"

"Sasha stop playing dumb with me. Is he hurting you? Do I need to beat his ass?"

"No, Stefan, stop. Everything's fine, I promise. I'm still a little mad, but he's over it."

"What were you two fighting about anyway?"

She gave herself one more look in the mirror before heading out to dinner with Stefan. She was grateful that Bonnie had set the whole thing up like she asked her to. She knew that if she were to ask Stefan herself he would say no, but she knew that he will say yes to Bonnie.

"Where are you going?" Michael asked walking into their room.

"I'm going on my date with Stefan, remember?"

Michael thought back to the many things she said then nodded. "Just don't stay out too long."

Sasha smiled. "I can stay out however long I want."

She was joking but saw the look on Michael's face that turned serious. She narrowed her eyes at him as he walked over to her scowling.

"No, you can't. You'll do what I ask you to do, understand?"

"Mike, it was just a joke stop being so serious all the time Jesus."

He drew his hand back and made it make contact with the side of her face.

"What the hell?!" She shouted in shock.

Michael grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her once, "Don't talk back to me like that." He said through gritted teeth. "You will show me respect."

Sasha didn't respond only looked at him with different eyes as a tear rolled down her cheek. He let her free of his hold and Sasha quickly grabbed her purse and slammed the door shut. She was driving down the road when she had to pull over to the side of the road to cry. She never thought that she would ever be in a type of relationship that would harm her in any way and now she's starting to regret the wedding. She wanted to leave him and call off the wedding, but all of that seemed impossible right now. Sucking up her tears and touching up her makeup, Sasha got back on the road and drove to the restaurant.

Sasha told Stefan the story but left out the hitting part and replaced that with some improv argument. Stefan could still tell that there was something deeper but hoped that she would tell him eventually.

"Listen, Sash, you're my sister and I love you and if anything is going on you can tell me and we'll figure it out together, okay."

Sasha felt like crying but nodded instead. Stefan pulled her in for a hug which surprised Sasha but she hugged him back tightly.

"I love you too, bro."

Bonnie smiled at the two from the threshold then lightly knocked on the door gaining their attention.

"I hate to break this up, but we have cake."

The twins chuckled and Sasha walked out leaving the two alone. Bonnie walked up to Stefan and kissed him.

"Everything okay?"

He sighed. "I don't know she says things are fine, but I can't help but feel that it's not. I got to keep my eye on that man."

"I'll help. I don't want her to marry someone and regret it later."

Stefan smiled showing no teeth and they decided to head downstairs too. They were surprised to see Sasha and Michael dancing to a slow jam. They both looked and seemed calm, but that didn't stop the couple from having suspicions.

ǁǁǁǁ

The party ended about an hour ago and they were still cleaning up some.

"Who knew your family could be so messy."

"My family?" Stefan said an octave higher than usual. "This trashy table right here," Stefan circled his arms above it, "was all your family." Bonnie laughed. "And this one right here was all your nasty friends."

Bonnie threw her head back in laughter and Stefan tried to keep his face serious but cracked a half smile.

"So don't you be talking, missy."

"You're so stupid," Bonnie said giggling.

Stefan smiled and walked over to her to press a kiss to her lips then a kiss to her belly. "I have plans for you, son. We're going to get you on the hockey team."

"What if he wants to do ballet?"

Stefan raised an eyebrow. "We'll cross that bridge if we get to it."

Bonnie chuckled and they both walked inside to grab a snack for Bonnie.
