We Are a Family

Chapter 7

Not my characters.

Julie Plec owns these characters.

I am very sorry about the late update, but life got in the way and my laptop had also crashed and I had to write these chapters again.

Two Months Later.

Bonnie's PoV:

It has been two months since Damon and Enzo have taken the cure and become humans. It has been two months of pure bliss for Enzo and me. We both had enjoyed ourselves very much during these months going on bike trips, late night picnics and just celebrating this chance at a human life we have got.

Enzo was enjoying himself but there were things he missed like his high tolerance for alcohol, the speed, the compulsion and most of all, the invulnerability to anything happening in the world.

He was also getting excited about the small normal human activities which were not prevalent during his time as a human such as this Fancy Dress welcome party happening at our medical school. He was really excited and wanted us to go there as Christian and Ana from the Fifty Shades of Grey books and movies.

I got us outfits matching the ones they wore to the masquerade ball in the second movie including the masks. Enzo was strangely excited about this college thing and I was getting suspicious of him.

I had caught him with Damon whispering mysteriously about something but they both changed the topic when I asked them about it.

The previous times we had let them go on with the whispering was not good for Elena and me. They had once successfully pulled a prank on us in which Enzo went up and kissed Stefan and Damon kissed Ric. "Elena, darling I am so sorry but I fell in love with Enzo long ago and we just needed to be sure that we were perfect for each other before coming out", Damon had said to Elena.

Enzo had looked at me apologetically and that was when us girls had taken of our shoes and hit our boyfriends and Ric with them. The men had quietened after that and had avoided playing pranks. It had been three weeks since they had planned something and things were getting fishy again.

Needless to say, Elena, Care and I were furious and the boys were banned from our rooms for two weeks. Like the last time, they are again planning something and I wanted to know what it was so that they did not do anything stupid during the party.


These past months had been a hell of a ride full of love and a new kind of adventure. I am so glad that I had this chance at a normal human life with the person I loved more than anyone or anything in the whole world.

Sometimes you just know that it was time to take the next step in your relationship and I now knew that I was ready to say 'I Do' in front of a minister. The only thing which I did not want to do was scare off Enzo and destroy everything we have right now.

Damon and Elena are at that point in their relationship but they want to enjoy life as a young couple in love together at college and then get married. Damon has also enrolled along with Enzo in the college for a two-year business course.

They both would be running Mystic Grill as soon as we relocate and they want everything to be running smoothly therefore they decided to learn how to manage and run a business even if that business is a restaurant and a favourite hangout spot for everyone in Mystic Falls.

"Bonnie, love I am ready. How much do you think it will take you to get ready as we, wow you look amazing", Enzo had trailed off mid-sentence after he saw me and I blushed.

The four of us lived together at an apartment near the college and were supposed to go together but Damon and Elena had been holed up in their room for the last hour and Enzo and I knew that they were not getting ready.

"Elena, Enzo and I are leaving we will meet you there. Get ready quickly", I shouted at the closed door and Enzo and I left. We took the longer route to get there and enjoyed the serenity of the night with our favourite songs playing on the car radio.

We had just parked the car when Damon and Elena pulled up and looking at their dresses I playfully said, "Guys I promise I won't interrupt you both today. You can dirty dance all you want." Elena blushed at that and Enzo looked at us confused until he caught on to what we were talking about.


We danced for a bit and then decided to explore the garden area behind the auditorium which had been decorated beautifully. A path was leading towards the gazebo lit with fairy lights and candles. Enzo led me on that path to the centre of the gazebo and twirled me. We both laughed and I turned around to see on one knee with a ring box in his hand.

"Bonnie, I was imprisoned for most of my life and when I got out, I found it difficult to fit in the new world. I was in denial and had my humanity off. I did things that I am not proud of, but falling in love with you was the turning point of my life.

You made me good, you made me realize there was god in me, you brought me out of the dark place inside of me and most of all you saved me from myself.

I owe you my life, my sanity and who I am today because it was you made me this way. You thought that I was worth caring for and loving.

Bonnie Bennett, you are the most loving, caring and sacrificing woman I have ever met. You always put others before yourself, but I promise to always put you before me.

I want to grow old with you, have kids with you, go on holidays with you, take care of you and love you until my last breath. I promise you I will love you as long as our forever lasts.

Bonnie Bennett, you are my life, please become my wife now too. Will you marry me?"

I was in tears by the time Enzo was done with his proposal. I was barely able speak but I managed to choke out a yes. Enzo pushed the ring onto my finger and kissed me. The sound of a soft romantic came from the auditorium and we danced the whole night away.


I am very sorry for the late update but online classes mean coaching all day long without free time. Please read and review.
