7 MONTHS LATER
„How is she?“ – Stefan asked while entering the bedroom.
„She’s perfect“ – Elena replied. She was laying on her stomach on the bed, with her arms below her head. She was watching sleeping baby in front of her. She was so tiny, but her skin was so soft, and Elena was constantly caressing her little fingers. Little hair she had on her head was chestnut brown, and her eyes were dark brown. When she was sleeping, she looked exactly like Stefan, especially the parts around her lips and her nose. But when she opened her eyes, she was the spitted imagine of her mother.
„So“ – Stefan laid down on top of Elena in the moment when she turned on her back. „When are we going to start working on another one?“ – he asked while kissing her on the cheek.
„Stefan!“ – she silently screamed while laughing. „You’d really want another baby?“ – she asked curiously.
„If they’re all going to be like you, I want an army of them“ – he replied. She laughed loudly, then put her hand over her mouth so she doesn’t wake up the baby.
„We’re young, we have time for that.“
„Yes.. I forgot that I’m young now..“ – Stefan laid down on the bed next to her.
„Do you mind?“ – she asked.
„Mind what?“
„That you’re not a vampire anymore. That you’re a human, and that everything is.. normal.“
Stefan looked at her seriously, then curved a smile in the corner of his lips.
„Elena, I have a chance to grow old with you, I have a chance to give you a life you deserve. How would I ever mind that? To me, normal sounds extraordinary.“
Elena had put her hand on his cheek, then kissed him gently on the lips.
„You know, we should really get her a crib“ – Stefan said while looking at the baby.
„Not yet“ – Elena replied. „I love watching her sleeping next to you. When you lay on the side, and when she curls up closely to your chest.. that always brings a smile to my face.“
They say there’s not a greater bond than the one of two people sharing a child. Child is something that connects two people for life. No matter what happens, and even if life takes two people in different directions, child is something that will always keep connecting them. Reminding them of the time when there was nothing but love they felt for each other.
Caroline and Bonnie were in their house almost every day, and they always offered to take the baby for the walk so Stefan and Elena can rest. From time to time, Elena noticed sadness in Carolines eyes because she will never be able to have a child of her own. Nevertheless, she was happy with Tyler. Bonnie was also happy, for no apparent reason. Or at least, for a reason she didn’t want to share. Damon was away most of the time. Elena thought he was searching for happiness, or waiting for it to find him. She missed him, and so did Stefan. But every time when he came back, he looked.. happy. And he was, because now he knew that every time he goes away, he will have something to come back home to.
„I guess it wouldn’t hurt having two of these“ – Elena was whispering while caressing her baby’s hand.
„Well“ – Stefan said while trying to get up. „I think I should make an honest woman out of you before that.“
„What?“ – Elena asked suspiciously.
Stefan sat on the bed and reached for his pocket.
„Elena?“ – he asked while taking little black box out of his pocket. He opened it, and there was a ring in it. „Will you marry me?“
Elena first looked at the ring, and then she looked at him. She was shocked. The ring was beautiful. It had a middle sized diamond on it.
„It belonged to my mother“ – Stefan said while pulling it out. „I found it in my father’s things when I was a child. He didn’t even notice it was missing. We don’t have to do it right away.. you can look at it as a promise ring. Like a sign, that one day, when you’re ready, I’ll still be yours..“ – he said while looking her right in the eyes.
„Stefan“ – she leaned and whispered in his ear. „We can go and marry today all that I care, because I already know I’m going to spend the rest of my life with you.“
He smiled and tackled her. She fell on the bed, and he laid on top of her. He kept kissing her on the cheeks, and she continued laughing. Then he took her hand, and put a ring on it.
„There“ – he said.
„It looks perfect“ – she noticed.
„That’s because it’s where it supposed to be all along“ – he replied.
She smiled at him. Then she had put her hand on the back of his neck and pulled his face closer to hers. She looked at him with a look she was saving only for him, and then she kissed him like she never kissed anyone before him, and she never will. Stefan kissed her back, knowing that he will be doing that for the rest of his life. And he couldn’t ask for a better way to live, than to be able to kiss Elena every day of their lives.
THE END.
I guess I could have written more. There is so much material, especially with the baby in the mix now. Honestly, I could’ve written at least 10 more chapters, but my hart told me to stop. I guess I’m a sucker for happy endings, especially when it comes to these two. I really hope you enjoyed me story, and there will be another one, soon. It’ll be called “Losing Your Memory”, so watch out! :D
