Epilogue

It was a beautiful day. People from all over town had come to the opening of 'Bellisima'. The restaurant Bella had opened and Damon had named. It had been a full year since the day the pair had exited the lake house together, holding hands.

Damon had released a new album called 'Darling' and it was selling like crazy. No matter where either of them was, people would recognize them making Bella flush and Damon smirk with pride.

Of course they had their bumps and downs as Damon had slept with pretty much everything that moved but they came over it every time. Bella had offered to sleep wit every that moved to make her boyfriend feel less weird when they bumped into all bedmates of his.

It didn't work. Not even close!

Now the couple was with their friends and family at a big table in the middle of the garden of 'Bellisima'. Most people plus the press had left, leaving only them to talk and laugh.

"Bells, sit down"

Charlie told his daughter who had been fluttering around like crazy. Bella chuckled and plopped herself on Damon's left leg, something they always did. Watching them you'd think the world would cease to exist if they sat in different chairs of if they kept their hands to themselves when they did.

Pulling Bella's long hair to the side Damon pecked the ever present bite mark there before turning to Jessica's boyfriend to keep talking about music and school curriculum, Jessica had finally grown up to date a man, not a boy, like she had said in her own words.

Caroline and Bonnie had hit it off very well with Seth and Embry even if neither wolf had imprinted on them. Bella had hinted on the possibility of it to Bonnie, Elena's witch best friend, so the two girls could protect their hearts in case it did happened. Then she had backed down, it wasn't like imprinting was the most possible thing in the world either.

Since Seth and Embry had decided to take a leave of absence from La Push, things had slightly changed. Instead of Jake challenging Sam for the Alpha position, he created his own pack. Sam had made peace with the fact he'd never leave La Push, Jake hadn't and the three wolves had taken residence in Mystic Falls. Jake was the only single one and he was enjoying playing the field.

Elena and Stefan were still going strong and it didn't seem like that would change. since pretty much everyone and their mother in Mystic Falls knew about vampires Elena was able to live her life as she wanted it.

Bella yawned lightly and put her head against Damon's shoulder.

"Tired?"

"Sleppy"

Bella had replied. Damon chuckled

"Hint? Always go with what she says. She takes from her mother"

Charlie had told him much to Bella's amusement.

A pair of dark grey eyes was watching the pair from the bar.

"Told you it would work. They're so opposite they're perfect for each other"

A melodic voice said. Stefan nodded his own soft green eyes zeroing on his big brother and his girlfriend. Who would have thought that Damon would fall for a human?

"How did you know?"

He asked. The girl pushed a pair of black framed glasses to the top of her head.

"Female intuition. Plus she's my best friend"

None other than Angela Webber laughed at her creator. She was the one and only person Stefan had ever change, even if was accidental.

"What are you two talking about?"

Lexi asked them coming out of the bathroom. Stefan and Angela looked at each other before shaking their heads.

"Nothing"

They said in unison.

"Bloodgerita?"

Angela asked the blond vampire. Lexi squinted her eyes at them before shrugging it off.

"Whatever rocks your boats guys. Just make sure they don't find out. I'd hate to lose a friend"

The 'blond bombshell' as Jake had called her once, winked at them and went back to the party. Stefan and Angela followed holding large trays of drinks, both alcoholic and bloodholic

"To reality shows"

Jessica crowned and everyone laughed

"To reality shows"
