Writer's Notes: Thank you everyone for such amazing reviews! I know that it's been a month since I posted a chapter. I want everyone to know that I'm sorry for leaving you hanging like so, but it's been a really rough month with getting the farm up and running and work has not been favorable. Pair that with the new homeschooling for the kiddos because of the COVID-19, I've had little time to write. It's Easter Sunday, and I hope everyone has had a great day, and I sincerely hope everyone is safe and healthy. We have 2 more chapters to wrap this story up. I have a couple other fanfictions in my brain that I want to get out there, so I'm hoping that I can get them out there for you guys. I'm trying my best to keep updated, and will continue to write as fast as I can, and get updates out there quickly. Again thanks to all the support and reviews throughout the duration of this fanfiction. Please continue to drop me messages and reviews!

[December 24th, Christmas Eve- Jai & Ness 6 months old, Aira & Amaya 8 weeks, growth 6 months, Violet 27 weeks, Hope's growth- 33 weeks]
~Salvatore Boarding House~
The ballroom sparkled and twinkled with silver and sapphire. In parlor, the massive twelve-foot tree twinkled, and presents were abundant around it, mostly for the children. Caroline flitted around with Alice, making sure the finishing touches were done before the ceremony began. They were dolled up in their maid dresses, while Liz and Bella stayed upstairs with Ness, Aira, and Amaya.
Violet watched her sister get dressed in her beautiful wedding dress and smiled. "You make a beautiful bride Bells."
Bella looked over at her sister and smiled back at her. "I can't believe it's finally happening." She let a breath out.
Liz finished with adding the veil on her head and took a step back. Tears welled up in her eyes. "Oh Bella, you are beautiful," she said and clasped her hands together in front of her. Rebecca came from the bathroom, all ready in her maid dress, with Angela and Lexi following. They all gasped at Bella and smiled brightly at her as she did a little twirl.
"Thank you everyone for being apart of my special day," Bella said and then she was in the middle of a group hug. The only ones missing was Bonnie, Elena, Caroline, and Alice, who were all downstairs finishing up things before the wedding actually began.
Downstairs, Alaric was helping Damon with his tie. "I'm proud of you," he said and Damon smiled.
"For what?"
"For settling down, and being who you really are. You're finally happy, and you haven't messed it up," Alaric said and Damon snorted.
"He's right," Stefan called when he moved into the room. "You are notorious for messing things up."
Damon rolled his eyes. "Well, I finally found the woman that I want to be with for eternity, and she wants me back. Didn't have to fight too hard."
"Mm-hm you only have to fight a war to protect her, and then there was the sparkly fairy Edward, whom you have somehow developed some sort of weird bond with," Stefan pointed out.
"It's not weird," Edward said, coming into the room. "I'm just…I'm not sure what this is, but I'm happy for Damon and Bella. It took me a while to realize that, but I can see that Bella is happy, and that means that I am happy."
"Well put Eddie boy," Damon said and winked. "You have the rings?" Damon asked Alaric.
Alaric feigned surprise and Damon slapped his arm with a grin. "Everything is going to be perfect." He reassured his best friend.
Alice flitted into the room. "Okay guys. It is show time. Get into places!" She sang and the boys followed.
Close friends and family were seated in the seating that Caroline had set up. The Mikaelsons were there, Klaus was in the wedding, so he wasn't seated. Pete and Char were there sitting next to some of the wolf boys. Some of the people from the reservation were there, including Sam and Emily. Callum and Ezra were seated in the front with Jane and Alec, since they were technically family.
The music began and first Elijah walked down the aisle. He was going to officiate the wedding since he was the only one ordained to do so, and then Damon followed. Then Charlie walked down with Liz and seated her and returned to walk Bella down when the time came. Damon didn't have any living parents, so the music changed.
Violet and Alaric appeared, their arms linked and walked down the aisle to the airy music. Followed was Caroline and Jake, Alice and Stefan, Elena and Jeremy, Angela and Matt, Rebecca and Jared, Lexi and Jasper, Bonnie and Enzo, and then Rosalie and Klaus. When the music changed again, Seth appeared in his wolf form, a small carriage strapped to him pulling Jai, Ness, Aira and Amaya. They were all bubbly and smiley as Seth pulled them down the aisle. As the carriage moved, it left a trail of sparkling sapphire petals.
The music stopped and then the wedding march began, and everyone stood. Bella and Charlie appeared in the entrance. Damon's breath caught in his throat as his eyes lay on Bella as she walked down the aisle to him. She was glowing beautifully in her dress, and tears actually stung at his eyes as he took in the beauty of her. It was like it was only the two of them in the room as she moved towards him. He didn't hear the music; he only saw her. Charlie placed her hand into Damon's and gave Bella a little kiss on her cheek after he flipped her veil up.
Elijah started speaking now, but Damon could only stare at Bella. Bella smiled at him, her eyes twinkling with happiness as she stared back at him.
"Damon, you've prepared some vows?"
Damon snapped out of his trance and smiled. "I did. Bella. I've been alive for a while now, and I've never met someone like you. You're special in many ways, but in one way, you've captured my heart. You let me love you and that's a privilege I will never take for granted. I am deeply honored that you've chosen me, and you've accepted me for the person I am. You are an amazing mother. We have four children and I honestly can say that I sometimes can't keep up with you. I've looked forward to this day, and it's here. So, I want to tell you thank you, for becoming my wife, and making me the happiest man in this universe."
Tears slipped down Bella's face as she grinned brightly at Damon. Liz was crying, Caroline was crying, even Rosalie of all people were crying.
Elijah smiled and looked to Bella. "Bella?"
Bella nodded and gripped Damon's hands in hers and stared into his icy blue eyes. "Damon. I'm not very good with words, like you, but I know how strong my love is for you. You fixed me. I was broken, barely alive and falling apart. You put me together again and made me whole. You forever have my heart. I could never love any man more than you, and you make the best father. Our five, uh four children have been given the world, and you always put them first no matter what. I'm proud of you, for the man you are, and I will say thank you for being my husband."
Damon was staring at her now, stunned into silence as everyone was looking nearly as shocked at Bella's mix up with how many children they have.
"Bella," Damon said lowly, his eyes glancing down to her belly. He was confused and shocked. He knew that they could have more children because of her witch bloodline, but it was soon. The girls were two months old even though they looked like six-month olds.
Bella nodded and smiled; her eyes glistened.
"You're sure?"
"Yes. Carlisle confirmed yesterday with blood tests. It's too soon for an ultrasound."
Elijah cleared his throat when people murmured. "Is it okay for me to let them know what is happening?" Bella nodded and Elijah smiled. "It appears that they will be welcoming another bouncing baby to their brood. Bella accidentally let it slip during her vows. All is okay, we'll carry on the ceremony."
There was some clapping and Damon pulled Bella into his arms, holding her and smiling. Alaric patted Damon on the back, grinning widely.
"Okay okay, Damon do you take Bella to be your wife?" Elijah said, closing his book.
"I do."
"Bella, do you take Damon to be your husband?"
"I do."
"Exchange your rings and kiss the bride," Elijah said, and Alaric handed Damon the rings. They slipped their rings on their fingers and Damon leaned in and kissed Bella deep and everyone erupted in cheer and applause.
"Everyone, I present to you, the new Mr. and Mrs. Damon Salvatore!"
Everyone continued to clap and cheer as Damon, and Bella walked back down the aisle. The wedding party followed after.
Once in the reception hall, Bella and Damon sat down before everyone joined them. They had just a few minutes of silence before the party would start.
"I had no idea you were pregnant," Damon said softly.
"Well, I had a suspicion that I was when I started throwing up without a reason. Carlisle says I'm probably 5 weeks pregnant."
"How? I mean, you just had Amaya and Aira. Could your body bounce back so quickly?"
Bella shrugged. "Carlisle explained that it does happen. It's not rare at all. He's also thinking because of us both being supernatural, it could have something to do with it. He did the bloodwork, and he wants to do an ultrasound. He said it could be too early, but I wanted to wait until after everyone leaves tonight to do one. Carlisle agreed to stay later."
Damon smiled. "I love you so much." He said and kissed her softly.
"You're okay? Number 5 will be here faster than we planned. I honestly didn't think anything about it because I didn't think I could get pregnant so fast. That's why I didn't really care about how much sex we've been having."
Damon laughed. "Of course, I'm okay. I love you. If you're okay with having a baby so soon after the twins, then I'm fine. It's you I worry about. I will have as many children as you want Bella because I love you. If you want twenty kids, we'll have twenty kids."
Bella laughed now. "Nooo. Twenty is way too many. I'm thinking maybe five or six is plenty. That's the thing. What if this one is twins?"
"Well, if it's twins, it's twins."
"I love you," she murmured and kissed him softly.
The night dwindled down, and people started leaving, congratulating Damon and Bella as they left. Caroline and Alice were busy cleaning with Liz's help. Edward approached Bella and Damon before heading out.
"Congrats you two. On the wedding and the new addition," he said with a smile.
Bella nodded and smiled. "Thank you for coming and celebrating with us." She said and then leaned in and hugged Edward. Edward awkwardly hugged her back and then reached a hand out to shake Damon's hand, but Damon hugged him too.
"Thank you," Damon said and patted Edward on the back.
Edward nodded and then left; Rosalie close behind him.
After the rest of the guests had left, Charlie and Liz sat around in the kitchen with Caroline, Violet, Callum, and Ezra. Damon walked into the kitchen with Bella behind him. They had changed already and had just put the twins down along with Aira and Amaya.
"Well, how does it feel being married?" Charlie asked, smiling.
"Honestly, no different. We've been living together already, and this was just an extra step." Bella said, sitting down. Carlisle moved into the kitchen right then and Bella groaned. "Of course, I just sat down."
Damon chuckled. "Well, we don't want to keep the doctor waiting."
Carlisle smiled. "Well, it won't take long. I've set up in the parlor Bella."
Bella got back to her feet, and her fingers laced with Damon's and followed Carlisle to the parlor. She lay down and got comfortable. Carlisle draped a sheet over her, and she lifted her shirt up. He warmed the jelly and rolled the wand around her abdomen. "You know if I can't see any this way, I'll have to try the other way."
Bella nodded, understanding. Damon sat next to her, her hand in his as they looked at the little monitor. Carlisle changed positions of the wand and then the blips appeared on the screen.
"Yeah, I thought the HCG was a little high. I suspected multiples," Carlisle said, and Damon studied the monitor.
Bella was squinting. "Why are there 3 blips?"
"Well, Bella, that means 3 babies," Carlisle said, moving from different angles.
Bella couldn't speak at first. "Everything is okay right?"
Carlisle nodded. "Yes. Everything looks fine. I said you're probably around 5 weeks, but the babies are measuring about 9 weeks. They seem to be growing at a faster rate, maybe. I'll be doing weekly ultrasounds like with the girls. I'm going to draw some more blood and send it off. I'll probably be able to tell the genders through the blood test, or at least if there is any male DNA present. That will let you know if you're carrying any boys. If there is no male DNA then it's likely they're all girls."
Bella looked at Damon. "Damon. 3. There are 3. This doesn't make sense."
Damon laughed and brushed Bella's hair back from her face. "Well, it sort of makes sense. You're a twin, multiples run in your family. Jane spoke about a triplet being born before and quads, so it's not unheard-of Bella."
Carlisle nodded, and printed the ultrasound picture, each blip labeled baby a, b and c. "He's right. I remember right before Jane and Alec's time, their coven had triplet witches in it. They were sisters, and they were actually pretty strong from what I recall. Jane would know more about it or the grimoire Cal and Ezra have now would probably have some of this information in it as well."
Bella nodded. "Well. I'm just worried about the babies. I do think I will be done after this," she said with a laugh.
Damon smiled and kissed her forehead.
"I want you to turn me after the triplets are born," she said to Damon and he frowned.
"Are you sure? We haven't talked much about it, but it can't be undone Bella. If you want more-"
She cute him off. "I'm sure that 7 kids are going to be plenty for us to handle. I don't want to put my body through more, and each pregnancy will worry me because of the nature of it. I think that turning me after the triplets are born will be a perfect time."
Damon nodded. "Okay. I'll do it after the triplets are born."
Carlisle smiled. "Well, I'll see you next week." He said as he finished taking her blood. "I'll call you with the results of the blood test." He said and then leaned down and kissed the top of Bella's head. "Get some rest and congrats." He left Bella and Damon alone for now.
"Wow…" Bella said as she stared down at the ultrasound picture.
"This is going to be a big game changer. A lot of renovations are going to have to happen to this boarding house."
Charlie and Violet walked in, Liz, Cal, and Ezra not far behind. "So? Everything good with the baby?" Charlie asked.
Damon smiled at Bella and then took the ultrasound picture and handed it to Charlie. "Take a look grandpa."
Charlie took the picture in his hands as the other crowded over his shoulder to look at it. "What am I looking at? Bab a, b and c?"
Violet gasped and then rushed to Bella and leaned in and hugged her tight. "Oh this is definitely surprising." Charlie was still looking at the picture confused.
"Honey, it means that Bella is having triplets," Liz finally said and then Charlie looked over at Damon and Bella in shock.
"Dad, it's okay. Carlisle said they're fine, and he took some blood to test. They're measuring about 9 weeks. They're growing faster than the girls, but he's going to be doing weekly ultrasounds like he did with the girls. I'm okay though, Damon is okay. We're happy," Bella explained when Charlie looked worried.
Liz rubbed a hand down Charlie's arm. "See, Bella is okay."
Cal and Ezra hugged Bella in a group hug. Ezra smiled. "7 kids are going to be a hand full."
Damon laughed. "Well, I wanted a big family before I became a vampire. I suppose now I'm getting it."
"Well, we're here to help you with anything," Charlie said finally, handing the picture to Violet for her to study it more.
"Thank you, dad," Bella said, and Charlie hugged her tight. He then moved to Damon and hugged him tight too.
"I love you both," Charlie said looking to Damon and smiling. "Welcome to the family Damon. Thank you for taking great care of my daughter."
Damon smiled and nodded. "She's good at taking good care of herself."
Bella and Damon watched the rest of them leave.
Upstairs Bella changed into her pajamas and lay down on the bed and sighed. "It has been a very long day."
"Mmm. It has, but it was the most perfect day. The stockings are filled for the twins and the girls in the morning. Caroline said that Christmas dinner is at six, and we're opening presents right after."
Bella nodded, rubbing lotion on her hands. "Good," she said and turned on her side towards Damon, as he slid into bed next to her. She moved towards him, her lips finding his. His hands moved up her sides, brushing lightly over the sides of her breast. Her hands moved up his bare chest, stopping there. She felt the tightness of his muscles ripple against her soft hands and then she pulled him deeper into the kiss, parting her lips to give him entrance with his tongue.
She felt him quiver and a low growl sounded in his throat, as her hands shifted down to his waistband.
"Bella," his voice was gruff and husky as she began to move his bottoms away. He freed her of her top, springing her breast loose, her porcelain skin glowing under the dim lighting from the bedside lamp. He pinned her on her back now, his mouth going to her neck, kissing her gently, and then her collar bone. His mouth traveled to her navel where he lay light kisses there. She sighed softly as his hands caressed her gently. He pulled away her silk, blue bottoms, revealing her lacy sapphire panties. He grinned up at her as he slid them down slowly, his fingers brushing down her legs, causing her to hum softly.
He brushed his fingers upwards up the inside of her legs, brushing the inside of her thighs before rubbing her gently. Her eyes closed briefly and opened again, twinkling with desire. He removed his boxer briefs and moved up to take her mouth with his again, their tongues clashing together in a heat. She felt him brush his erection against her entrance, so she arched for him, giving him the freedom to take her now. He entered her slowly, her sigh of pleasure making him shiver as he pumped in and out slowly. She rose her hips up against his in unison, finding a solid pace, gentle and rolling. Within ten minutes she felt herself rise inside, unfurling the tension building in her belly, and she climaxed, breathing Damon's name, her mouth ravaging his shoulder, biting into it as her climax rolled. He pumped into her steadily, building his own pressure, letting the pleasure overtake them both as he continued to push her over her edge. Her hands clung to him, her body vibrating under his as he came, spilling over her cup and filling her fully. He moaned loudly, his mouth seeking hers again as he drank in her pleasure and gave her his. He rolled with her, careful not to put any pressure on her. He slid out of her, gathering a small pleasured whimper from her, as he pulled her into his arms. She snuggled close against his chest and sighed a satisfied sigh.
It wasn't long before he felt the fullness of her breast and her small groan as she rolled away. Damon chuckled. "Well, I'll go get some towels to clean you up and your pump." He said and rolled out of bed, pulling on his pajama pants and retrieving a damp cloth from the bathroom to clean her up before disappearing again to get her pump.
Bella smiled at him as he got back into bed after she hooked herself up to the machine. "You know, most men would find this really weird."
"I'm not like most men. Besides you're feeding our children. It's not weird at all. Why would anyone think that this is weird," he said making a motion with his hand towards the double electric breast pump.
Bella laughed. "Well, you know society has this weird stigma against boobs being a primary food source for infants."
Damon rolled his eyes. "Then they're the weird ones."
She smiled and then leaned over and kissed Damon softly. "Thank you for not being weird then."
"Anytime," he said and then when she was done, he gathered the supply and put it up in the refrigerator downstairs. He ran into Stefan in the parlor, writing in a journal.
"Why are you up still?" Damon asked as he ventured into the parlor, still shirtless.
"Oh, I decided to write about the wedding and all of that in the journal. So, another baby?" Stefan asked as he closed the journal and looked up at his brother.
"Oh. Three babies. Carlisle did an ultrasound today. Triplets."
Stefan's mouth dropped open briefly, but he recovered quickly. "Well, that's a surprise."
"Oh, believe me, Bella was in major shock. She was worried about me more than anything."
"Worried about you? Why?" Stefan stood now, placing the journal on a shelf with other journals.
"Because we'll have 7 kids to look after."
Stefan nodded. "I mean, I can see where that would be worrisome, but I'm not worried. You're a great dad already."
Enzo walked in just then. "Your brother is right. You're a great dad. Five kids is a big leap though mate."
"Seven." Damon corrected.
"Wait what?" Enzo's brows furrowed together quizzically.
"Triplets." Stefan answer.
"Huh. Interesting. Is Bella okay?" Enzo asked, and then walked over to pour himself a drink.
Damon nodded. "Yes, she's taking it well. We're going to have to do some renovations to the boarding house for sure, because babies eventually become kids, and with the girls and now the triplets, they're growth rate is going to increase. We're going to have to prepare for that. Aira and Amaya are like 6-month olds now, but they will be growing faster. Carlisle believes that they will be four by June next year, so that's like six more months from now."
"The twins will only be like what a year old then?" Enzo stated.
"Yeah. It's going to definitely different. Now with Bella being pregnant again, it's looking like the triplets are growing four weeks ahead of schedule." Damon said and then glanced at the clock. "Well, I'm going to head back up to my wife. Don't drink all the liquor." He said and Enzo laughed as Damon walked back upstairs. So far, the kids were sleeping through the night, which was a benefit for Bella really because Damon didn't need nearly as much sleep.
He walked back into the bedroom and found Bella sleeping already. He smiled at her, admiring the sight before climbing into bed. In her sleep she gravitated towards him, nuzzling her face against his chest.
