It was about half four and Stefan and Caroline was standing by the front door waving off to the last couple of parents to leave the twins party, once their cars were almost out of sight, they shut the door and both went and fell onto the sofa.
"Thank god that is over" Caroline said feeling a little drained from all the running around she'd done this afternoon.
"Tell me about it" Stefan replied stretching his arms in the air.
Damon walked in the room then and fell onto the sofa opposite Stefan and Caroline.
"I'm beat" was all he said.
"Well running around after twelve kids will do that to you brother" Stefan said to him.
"How about next year we just do a family thing, like a vacation or day out, we don't have to put up with any snobby, bitchy people looking down on us then."
"That Amy-Leigh has really gotten to you hasn't she."
"Yeah she has Stefan, I mean who the hell does she think she is. She comes into our house, to our son and daughters birthday party and has the nerve to look down at us! So what if I'm a teen mom at least I'm still with my kids dad and we're getting married."
Damon chuckled at his soon to be sister in laws little rant.
"What are you laughing at?" Caroline asked him with a bit of annoyance in her voice.
"Oh Caroline you and your little rants, that's all" he replied.
"Damon!" Stefan said getting annoyed too.
"Hey, I didn't mean it like that, I've actually grown to love Caroline's little rants over the years if you must know, and like I said to Caroline earlier, she shouldn't let her get to her. Even though you two aren't married yet I do class Caroline as my little sister and I can tell you now Care you are worth ten of her."
Stefan and Caroline just looked at Damon a little shocked by what he had just said.
"Arrr, thanks Damon" Caroline replied and smiled to him.
"No problem, now I'm going to find that beautiful wife of mine."
With that Damon got off the sofa and headed outside to where he could hear Bonnie laughing playing with the twins and Liz.
"I think Bonnie being with Damon has softened him up a bit" Caroline laughed to Stefan.
"I know, who would of thought it, but to be fair Care if you think back to when you was pregnant, he was quite protective of you then."
"Yeah he was wasn't it, so he wants children with Bon?" Caroline asked remembering what Stefan had said earlier but they couldn't really talk about it as the guests had started to arrive.
Stefan just nodded his head and wrapped an arm around his wife to be.
"I wonder if there is a spell Bonnie could do" Caroline said as she rested her head on Stefan's shoulder.
"I don't think there is otherwise she would of done it by now" Stefan replied.
"Yeah I suppose that's true."
"We're really lucky aren't we when you think about it"
"We are Stefan, I knew that when I met you, you was the one for me" Caroline said and sat up to look at the love of her life.
"Really?" he asked a bit surprised.
"Yeah, something in the pit of my stomach just told me we we're meant to be."
"Maybe if I hadn't of been so curious as to why Elena looked so much like Katherine, I might of sensed it to."
"Possibly, but in the end you did and look where we are now" Caroline smiled to him.
Stefan put a hand on Caroline's cheek and moved in closer to kiss her.
"I couldn't imagine life without you and the twins" he said as he pulled back from their kiss.
Damon was outside and was on the bouncy castle with Bonnie, Clay and Clary, Liz had came off once Damon came out so she could start to clean up all the stuff from the party.
"Again Uncle Damon" Clay shouted.
Clay, Clary and Bonnie was lying down on the castle and Damon was jumping near them which was making them bounce in the air and making the twins burst out into fits of laughter.
"Okay, one more time then."
"Okay" Clay replied to his Uncle obviously disappointed it would be the last time.
Damon jumped and the three of them burst out laughing, which upon hearing them all giggling made Damon start to laugh as well.
"Clay, lets go play with some of our presents" Clary said to her brother.
"Okay" and with that they both hopped off the castle and ran inside the boarding house.
Bonnie sat up and Damon came and sat by her side and placed an arm around her and kissed the side of her head.
"You okay?" she asked him.
"Just peachy" Damon replied to her.
"You sure?" Bonnie asked sensing their conversation earlier was playing on his mind.
Damon didn't speak, he just nodded his head up and down to answer his wife.
"Wanna talk about it?"
Again Damon just nodded his head but this time from side to side. After today it made him realise how desperately he craved to be a father and to have children with Bonnie, she was the only woman who loved him for all of him and it crushed him not being able to give her a family.
Knowing that the best thing to do for him was to just sit their in silence and hold one another, she hated seeing the man she loved being like this and wished she could do something for him. She thought to herself that she'd have to check one of her grams' grimoires later on, even if there was and the witches said it was unnatural, then how on earth was it possible for two vampires to have twins she thought to herself and Damon wasn't the same Damon he was when he first arrived to Mystic Falls, as far as Bonnie was concerned he had redeemed himself from all the wrong he had done in the past in her eyes.
Whilst the twins was playing with their new presents, Caroline and Stefan we're helping Liz clean up the last bits and bobs from the party.
"So what you got planned for tomorrow?" Liz asked her daughter.
"We're taking the twins out in their electrical cars" Caroline replied to her mom.
"Oh they'll love that Care."
"I know, with the party and that they haven't really had chance to play with them."
"Well whilst you two finish up in here, I'm going to get the twins ready for bed" Stefan said to Caroline and her mom.
"Okay, shout me if you need a hand, also as it's their birthday I thought we could end their day with a dvd."
"Will do Care, and I think that's a good idea especially with all the running around they've done today they'll probably flake out whilst watching it" he said, kissed her and went to gather up the twins.
"Come on you two, let's get you ready for bed" Stefan said as he walked into the living room where the twins we're playing.
"Oh but I don't wanna go to bed daddy" Clary said folding her little arms over her chest.
Stefan couldn't help but smile at his daughters reaction, she was her mother to a tee he thought to himself.
"Now I didn't say it was bedtime, I just said lets get you ready for bed."
"Oh" was all Clary replied back to her dad.
Stefan picked both of the twins up and made his way upstairs to their room, he was quite pleased with himself, it only took him ten minutes to get both of them changed into their pyjamas, even though he had to chase after them both twice.
"You managed to do it all by yourself" Caroline smiled to him.
"Yep, I only had to chase them twice before they actually got changed" Stefan chuckled, having twins was a handful.
"I'm impressed" Caroline laughed.
"Momma, daddy, we wanna watch a dvd" the twins said together.
"Well it's a good job Uncle Damon and Aunty Bonnie are in the kitchen making us all some popcorn" Caroline smiled.
"Yay, we like popcorn."
The twins chose a film to watch and Caroline put it into the dvd player, just then Damon and Bonnie came into the living room with two bowels of popcorn and Liz followed behind them with drinks for everyone.
Caroline and Stefan settled on one sofa with Clary on Caroline's lap and Stefan had Clay on his lap, Liz, Bonnie and Damon all sat on the other sofa and they all got settled down to watch The Lion King.
