Chapter 33 - Finale

And it was a busy year.

Christmas rolled around with Damon and Rosalie spending each day together, neither admitting they were serious about the other and their relationship but both refusing to spend more than one day apart.

Finn announced the hospital would hire someone to play Santa for the children's ward. Esther's soulmate painting sprung to Bella's mind and with a wink at the original mother she nominated Kol for the role of Santa.

Kol didn't like it but went along with wearing large bed pillows around his waist to play the part. He grumbled as Rosalie perched herself on his right leg and put makeup on him but he changed his tune when he came face to face with his elf.

The elf had long red hair, bright green eyes and was going by the name of Layla. She had been a vampire for almost twenty years and the first thing she did when the Santa gig was over was to show Kol how pretty the broom closets looked on the inside.

"They're going at it right in front of the blood bank?"

Angela enquired. Rebekah nodded

"How oddly appropriate"

It was a strangely hot May. On May first, a beautiful gazebo was set up on the small strip of beach belonging to the Cullen family.

Mikael walked Freida down the makeshift isle where she became mrs freida whitlock. Freida had chosen yellow for her wedding dress and Jasper wore his military uniform. He had invited his best friend, Peter, to be his best man and Lexi was Freida's maid of honor.

"Don't worry mate, I have ten hybrids standing tall outside"

Klaus had joked seeing his less than sure gaze as if expecting his pixie ex-wife and wannabe-mate to drop by announced. Jasper had laughed at him and slid his mother's ring in Freida's ring finger signaling their bond.

Mikael threatened to kill him if he hurt her, Esther handed him a ring identical to the one her sons wore allowing him to go out in the sun freely and to welcome him in the family officially.

June rolled by bringing with it graduation, surf and sandcastle competitions.

Freida signed up for surfing and came first after knocking down a blond hottie.

"You cheated. I came first"

he accused her when they left the crystal clear waters. She smiled suggestively

"You can come anytime you like"

Elijah furrowed his eyebrows.

"She's getting out of control"

"We need to dagger her for a while"

Klaus agreed. Lexi rolled her eyes

"Stand down boys. She's a single girl enjoying life"

She declared before pushing Elijah in the water and climbing on his shoulders engaging Kol and Layla in a game of chicken.

Elijah and Lexi won.

Henrik forgave Pete for stabbing and killing him very easily. Until they fought again about liking the same girl. The girl had black hair, black eyes and luckily she had a twin sister. Each preteen boy started dating one and they worked together for their sandcastles.

Both teams lost as a team from La Push won.

"So what now?"

Klaus asked in a low voice sitting on the ground his back against a tree facing the mystic falls. Bella was leaning on him smiling softly at the setting around them.

"I don't know. It's been a wild ride this year"

"is the small town living big enough for you?"

"hell no! I hate small towns"

Bella exclaimed making him rumble with laughter

"Travel with me?"

"okay... where to?"

"Wherever"

he shrugged with a happy smile on his face. With a wicked smile Bella produced a coin from her jeans pocket

"if it's heads we go to Italy"

Klaus announced

"and if it's letters?"

"Anywhere else"

smiling Bella flipped the coin. Mid-air it gave a small pop and a putrid stench as it slightly exploded.

"PETER!"

Both vampires shouted laughing as chuckling was heard nearby.

"Your brother"

Klaus accused laughing

"your hybrid"

she accused right back laughing with him as he caught her lips in a heated liplock both falling back on the warm ground with a smile on their lips.

"The best birthday wish ever!"
