AN: So, out of laziness, boredom, and dealing with way too much math homework, it's taken me forever to write this. I'm sorry! I promise I was aware I needed to get it out but like I said, I was being way too lazy. Well, here's the last chapter of Sleeping Beauty. I hope you guys like it and like what I chose to do with the story. I tried to go into as much detail with the wedding as much as I possibly could, so hopefully it's not too bad. Thanks to everyone who has read and reviewed, Favorited, and followed this, it's meant the world to me!

Chapter 18

I finally pulled into the driveway an hour ago. Damon had been stretched out on the couch and apparently been watching one of the many Nightmare on Elm Street remakes before he had fallen asleep. He had basketball shorts on with a bag of Doritos sitting on his stomach, snoring. Before I went to jump in the shower, I'd snapped of picture of him.

The best thing about Damon is that he's a clean freak. He rarely left his clothes lying on the floor and certainly didn't let stuff get too dirty. You'd think he'd be the opposite and that our home would look like a bachelor pad. Granted, I'm not exactly dirty, but I tend to let things pile up a bit before I take care of them.

Plus, whenever I work late shifts, I never want to clean anything up. I'd rather just fall into bed and worry about it when I wake up. Which, I have done that quite a bit lately. Though most of the time Damon takes care of it. His schedule's way more flexible than mine considering he's the boss of his own work. I really believe he enjoys bossing people around, at times.

We'd fallen into an easy, laid back routine that didn't bother either of us. We'd done exactly what Caroline and Stefan had, minus the vampire part.

After I was done showering, I went downstairs to lock everything up and turn the TV off. It took me a few minutes, but Damon finally got up. He lazily followed me up the stairs and pulled me into bed with him and fell asleep again. He'd gotten up earlier than I had today to do something at the restaurant so it didn't surprise me that he was tired.

It's finally September twenty-eighth. It's finally my wedding day. Care's been running around the house for hours like a chicken with her head cut off while I've been calm the entire day. I was bubbling with energy on the inside, but I was just too entertained by Caroline to show it. She was always like this, no matter the occasion.

I'd eventually chosen a dark purple along with grey and silver for my wedding colors. It'd been a last minute thing, which I'd sort of decided I didn't care about the colors because I couldn't make a decision. Care had pushed me enough and I'd finally made a choice. Purple had been one of my favorite colors, and Damon wouldn't give me any sort of input no matter what, so it had been what I'd decided on.

Caroline was my maid of honor, like I'd previously planned on, but I also had one bridesmaid. Stefan was Damon's best man and one of Damon's friends who worked with him at the restaurant was his groomsman.

Stephanie, who's my bridesmaid, is wearing a dark purple dress that ends with a small ruffle. It's very pretty, and she actually liked it. Care's dress had taken longer to find than my wedding dress had. It really wasn't surprising. I mean, she is Caroline.

She finally had decided on a dark purple high low dress made of chiffon. She'd also curled her hair and put it up in a ponytail. She'd put on an old silver Best Friends necklace I'd given her when we were nine. I was surprised it hadn't tarnished at all considering It was one I'd gotten it from somewhere like Walmart. She'd also put on a few silver bracelets and had bought this body glitter from somewhere that was awesome. We had so much fun putting it on it was ridiculous.

Damon was going to kill me because I knew it'd get all over him but I loved it.

I had on my engagement ring, which I loved so much. I knew it was old, but I really have no idea how old it is or where Damon had even gotten it. It was so pretty and unique. I'd chosen our wedding bands and had just gone with simple silver ones. Damon surely wasn't the type of flashy to want anything more than that.

Caroline had found me the most amazing heels to wear. I had no clue how she'd fond them but they were absolutely gorgeous. They were white and had silver flowers running up the heel. If anything, they looked like the heels a Disney princess would wear. My inner ten year old had squealed at the site. I'd almost thought they wouldn't look right with my dress, but Caroline had assured me that they'd be fine.

Jeremy was going to walk me down the aisle. He was sitting in the hallway watching Caroline run back and forth. He was looking at her like she was nuts. He'd also been walking throughout the whole house and backyard taking pictures. Stefan was going to take over while he walked me down the aisle but as soon as that was over with, Jeremy was going to take the camera back. He had trust issues with the thing supposedly because it was his 'baby.' I hadn't seen Damon since early this morning. Stefa

I hadn't seen Damon since early this morning. Stefan had taken him out last night thought I doubt you could call whatever they did a bachelor party. I didn't know exactly what had gone on, but they'd spent most of the night at the restaurant.

Jeremy finally came into the room after Caroline had bounded in to check me over and then ran downstairs. Apparently she'd given Jer the orders to get me down stairs because the wedding was about to start.

He glanced up at me and grabbed my hand to start walking down the stairs.

"Nervous?" He looked at me as we were walking down the stairs.

I gave him a small smile. "Far from it," I laughed. "I'm excited and impatient. I can't wait to get married."

He grinned at me, "Good. I wouldn't know how to deal with you otherwise."

I gaped at him and slapped him on the shoulder lightly. "Wow. Love you too, Jer. What's that supposed to mean?"

He chuckled as we reached the back door.

Jeremy moved out in front of me to get down the few steps to the backyard and helped me down them. I could slightly see Damon turned towards Stefan he was smirking and Stefan was laughing about something. Caroline and Stephanie were walking out in front of us and Damon turned back to face Jeremy and I as he saw Caroline walk towards him.

Jeremy and I finally reached the end of the aisle and he let go of my arm after kissing me on the cheek. I walked up to Damon and he gave me a grin. I heard the priest start to speak but I don't think Damon and I were paying the slightest bit of attention to him.

"What do you think?"

He tilted his head, "You're beautiful," He reached his had up to tuck a piece of hair behind my ear. "That's no surprise. You always are."

I smiled at him. I think for the most part we acted on auto pilot until the reception. We didn't take our eyes of each other during our whole wedding. Caroline and Stefan had to pull our attention off of each other to say our vows.

We saw nothing but each other.

I'd forgotten about telling Damon the little secret I'd been keeping for about a month. Caroline had been keeping people from bringing me any type of alcohol the whole night. Jeremy and Caroline were supposedly the only ones who'd been told, but I had a feeling Caroline had spilled the beans to Stefan considering he was part of the 'keep-alcohol-away-from-Elena' plan.

I hadn't begun to show any yet and thank god I hadn't had to deal with any morning sickness so far.

I had my head lying on Damon's shoulder. We'd just sat down a few minutes ago. I was about done with all the Dancing. Damon and I had danced several times; I'd also danced once with Stefan and Jeremy. There were a few others I'd danced with also, most of them being neighbors or friends of Damon and I's.

"Damon?"

He had his hand running through my hair, "Yeah?"

"I'm pregnant," I buried my head into his shoulder. I was tired and I really didn't know how he'd react. Heck, he could already know. He tends to figure things out a lot. Especially stuff that's hidden from him. I'd attempted to hide his Christmas present from last Christmas so he couldn't snoop.

He found it.

"Ah, so that's why you've been drinking nothing but water and juice."

I snorted and smiled, but I didn't move my head from his shoulder. Well, that reaction's way better than any I'd concocted in my mind. "Nothing gets past you does it?"

"Nope." He said, pulling me over onto his lap and wrapping his arm around me. "I'm very attentive." He kissed me and placed his head on top of mine.

"I love you, Damon."

"I love you too, Elena Salvatore."

I laughed and smiled.

AN: So, I'm way more proud of that ending than I thought I'd be. If you guys liked it, let me know! I've got another DE story idea in my mind and I've started the first chapter but I don't even know when or if I'll post it. I don't even know what the title should be. I'll definitely wait until I have a few or more chapters written if I do decide to post it.
