C.6

We took Stefan's car and the whole journey there, we had the music blaring. Stefan sung Bon Jovi at the top of his lungs; it was one of the funniest things I had ever seen.

I was in hysterics. "Come on Elena, join in." he complained then kept singing.

"Fine." I said and sung along with him.

By the time we reached the lakehouse we were both in stiches from laughing so hard.

"See wasn't that fun?" He asked with that grin on his face that made my knees buckle, thank god I was sitting down.

We got settled in at the lake house and went outside where we talked this time a year and a half ago. How time had flown by. We stood together exactly as we had the last time we were here. "I love you" he whispered in my ear. It made me smile. Stefan moved his arms down to my waist and put his hands on my belly.

We felt little one kick together; we laughed, smiled and kissed.

"Come on, it's getting cold and dark out here, I'll make dinner." He said pulling me back inside.

I sat on the couch and watched Stefan make dinner. He was amazing. Who would have thought that a year and a half from the last time we were here, that everything was perfect, Katherine/Originals free, sacrifice free and that I would be madly in love with the man who saved me from myself and pregnant with his child.

"You know, you are the most beautiful women in the world." He said with that smile that made my knees buckle, as I walked over to the kitchen bench. My knees buckled. Stefan flitted to my side and caught me. "'Lena, you okay?" he asked concern written all over his face.

"Yes, I'm fine, it's just when you look at me like that my knees buckle." I smiled.

"I love you" he said helping up, rubbing my side and placing me back on the couch.

"Dinner's almost ready, I made your favourite, Chicken Parmesan." he smiled plating up the food.

"I haven't had that since before I found out you were a vampire. Do you remember that night?" I laughed.

"Oh yeah, we were talking about all the things that we liked, then you cut your hand and my eyes went all weird." he laughed.

We had finished dinner and I was about to leave the table when Stefan put his hand on top of mine. "Where are you going?" he asked.

"Little one loves to batter with my bladder, don't they." I laughed patting my stomach.

When I got back, Stefan had cleared the table and done the dishes. "I wasn't gone for that long was I?" I asked. "No it's just my awesome vamp speed" He joked.

"Do you want to watch a movie?" I asked whilst Stefan wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me.

"Mmm, but first" he said ending the kiss.

Stefan got down on one knee.

"Oh my god" I gasped.

"Elena Gilbert, love of my life, mother of my child, despite everything we have been through, I never stopped loving you and you never stopped loving me even when we were faced with the worst. Would you do me the extraordinary honour of marrying me?" he asked pulling out a little black box and sliding the ring onto my finger. It had a thin silver band with a lapis lazuli gem encrusted in the middle.

"Yes, a million times yes. Oh my god it's beautiful." I squealed.

"It was my mother's but it's got nothing on you." I commented.

He got up and we kissed passionately. Stefan put his hands on the back of my thighs and lifted me up, I wrapped my legs around his waist and we continued kissing. "This is better than a movie" I said in between kisses. "Mmm..." Stefan said carrying me into our bedroom. I began to take my jumper off when Stefan stopped me, "Elena, we need to stop, I could hurt the both of you" he said stroking the side of my face.

"No!" I protested, and continued kissing him.

His hands roamed down my back and undid my bra, my hands holding on to his face, terrified to let go.

Gripping the buttons of his shirt, I forced it open. My hands roamed over his chest and he groaned at my touch. His hands slid down to unbutton my jeans and tug my panties down. "Stefan," I murmured in sincere pleasure. "Stefan…" After a few minutes my own hands slid to his pants unbuckling his belt and pulled his jeans and boxers off. I wrapped my legs around him, trying not to scream. My hands grasped his arms tightly. I closed my eyes and let him love me.
