'Daddy!' a five year old girl yelled at Damon. He smiled at her and picked her up.
'You look beautiful,' he told her.
'You too, daddy,' Jenna said to him. 'You're the prettiest daddy in the whole world!'
Damon grinned at her. The door opened and he looked at Katherine walking towards him. She smiled at him. By far the prettiest girl he had ever seen, he thought. She carried a three-year-old boy in her arms. It looked like a miniature Damon with his big blue eyes. His eyes were the reason Katherine could never stay mad at him. 'And there's Rick,' Damon smiled at his son. 'How's Rose doing?'
'She's asleep,' Katherine told him. 'Are we ready?'
'Are we ready, guys?' Damon asked his kids. Jenna and Rick yelled 'yeah!' and Damon smiled at Katherine. 'I guess we're ready to go.'
'The babysitter will be here in a minute,' Katherine said. She walked towards him and kissed him. 'I'm so excited,' she said.
'Me too,' Damon said. 'It's been a while since we've seen them.'
'It'll be like a family reunion,' Katherine laughed.
'We're family,' Damon said. 'Don't you think?'
The bell rang. 'There she is,' Katherine said, walking towards the door. 'Hello, Suzy. Come inside.'
A tall girl walked inside the room. 'Hello,' she said.
'Hello,' Damon said. He grabbed his daughter and spun her around. Jenna laughed.
'We're going,' Katherine told her. 'Take good care of our baby.'
'I will,' Suzy said. 'Enjoy yourselves.'
'We will,' Damon said. He put Jenna back down and she grabbed his hand. 'Let's go.'
The house where Caroline and Klaus lived had a large garden. That's why the always held their dinners there.
'Damon,' Caroline said when she opened the door. She smiled at all of them. 'Please, come inside,' she said.
'Sure,' Damon winked. He held his son in his arms when he entered the house. Jenna held Katherine's hand.
'Stefan and Klaus are still discussing about how to use the barbecue,' Caroline said. 'Please don't pay attention to that.'
'We're used to it,' Damon said. They walked into the garden. The weather was perfect for a barbecue.
'Damon, Katherine!' Rebekah yelled at him, raising her glass.
'Uncle Damon!' a small girl yelled and she hugged Damons leg.
'Lexi,' Damon said. He hugged her. Daniël, Lexi's brother, ran toward them. Katherine hugged him too.
'Don't you look handsome,' she told him.
They walked towards Rebekah and Matt. Their children were running around, giggling. They had two sons; Edward and Taylor. Rebekah was pregnant again; it a few months they would have a baby girl.
Caroline and Klaus had had a twin; a boy and a girl, named Alice and Jim. They were five years old now. Klaus spoiled them a little. He was so proud of his children. Stefan had found a nice girl in college, called Jane. They had two children now;Lexi and Daniël. Mary Ann and Julia. Bonnie had, surprisingly enough, married Taylor. They had three guys; Jamie, Jasper and Jim. Damon stroke Jenna's hair. 'Go play with Edward and Taylor and Alice and Jim and Lexi and Daniël and Mary Ann and Julia and Jasper and Jim and Jamie,' he said. He had to laugh; there were so many children right now! He couldn't believe it, actually.
After they had become human, Katherine and Damon went to college together. After that, they got married and in a few weeks Katherine was pregnant.
'Can't you admit I was right?' Damon heard his brother saying.
'Never,' Klaus responded.
'Daddy, don't be stubborn!' Penelope said and they saw Hailey smiling at her.
Damon smiled and walked towards Stefan.
'Brother,' he said.
'Damon,' Stefan responded. They hugged.
Katherine watched them and smiled.
'Katherine,' Rebekah said. 'I need your opinion.'
'About what?' Katherine asked, walking towards them.
'About the picture Elena send me,' Rebekah said.
She showed the picture and Katherine watched them. Elena and Elijah had decided to stay immortal for a while. Elijah wanted to show the world to Elena and currently they were in the Netherlands. She saw the picture with the two of them near Rotterdam.
'They look beautiful together,' she said.
'That's so weird to say,' Rebekah said. 'She looks exactly like you.'
'And that's why they look beautiful together,' Katherine winked.
Hailey laughed.
'We're almost done!' Stefan yelled.
'I hope we'll see Elena,' Bonnie said. 'I mean, you know, soon.'
'Nice to hear that,' Elena said. She and Elijah walked into the garden, both smiling.
Everybody looked at them in surprise.
'You were in Holland!' Caroline yelled. 'And now… O my god, Elena, I'm so happy to see you!' She and Bonnie stood up to welcome her. Damon looked at her and they exchanged gazes. Elena looked a bit sad when she saw him, but Elijah softly squeezed her arm and she smiled at her friends.
Stefan wanted to walk towards her, but Klaus grabbed his arm. 'Our meat!' he screamed. 'Stefan, it's burning!'
Stefan turned back. 'A plate,' he said. 'We need a plate.'
In a few seconds Elena stood beside him, handing him over a plate – a few years ago Caroline had invited her in.
'Thanks,' Klaus said.
'The first load is done!' Stefan said. The other clapped sarcastically. Damon punched his brother playfully on his shoulder. 'I'm proud of you, bro,' he winked.
Everybody sat down – after Elijah had brought two chairs for him and Elena.
'So, how was your journey?' Rebekah asked after a short while.
'Great,' Elena responded. 'We've seen so much.'
'I heard your pregnant again, sister,' Elijah said.
'In a few months we'll have a daughter,' Rebekah told him.
Elijah smiled at her. 'I'm really happy for you two.'
Matt and Rebekah smiled.
'So,' Caroline said. 'Elena, you've told me you two had wedding plans?'
Everybody else looked a bit surprised. Elena held Elijahs hand. 'We do,' she said.
'In a few months we want to get married, actually.'
'That's soon,' Katherine responded. 'Don't you want to give a big party?'
'We do,' Elijah said. 'And we know we don't have much time, but Elena told me about your organizing skills, Caroline. We hope you want to organize the party.'
Caroline looked surprised but they nodded. 'I'd love to!' she said happily.
'It'll be a great party.'
'No doubt about that,' Elena smiled at her.
Everybody was happy. Damon looked across the enormous table; his strange, big and caring family. Next to him Jenna had spilt some milk.
'It's okay, sweetheart,' Damon told her. He grabbed a napkin and cleaned shirt. His daughter smiled and looked at him with the admiration a daughter has for her father. He couldn't believe this was his life now. It couldn't be any better than this, he thought. He held Katherine's hand and smiled at her. No, his life was perfect.
'So, that's why you came here? Stefan asked. 'For your marriage?'
'Well, not really. We came here to ask Bonnie a favour, actually,' Elijah said.
He and Elena smiled at each other. 'In a few years we want a family of our own.'
Damon raised his glass. 'Cheers to that,' he said.
