Here we go, One last time
'The mean reds are horrible.
Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of.
Do you ever get that feeling? '
'Sure. '
'Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's.
Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it;
Nothing very bad could happen to you there.
If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then-
Then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name'
Breakfast at Tiffany's

"Elena are you ready?" Damon shouted while closing the door behind him.
"Just a minute!" she shouted back from somewhere in the house.
"Told you she wouldn't be ready." His twelve year old son answered next to him, Damon grinned at him and messed up his hair, it had grew a bit darker over the years so now it was of a light brown color. "Hey, you know how long it took Jenna to fix my hair?" the kid said stepping away from his father.
"Oh you're such a girl." Damon answered back.
"Ginny is going to be there, I have to look good." Julian answered in defense.
"So it's Ginny now huh?" Damon said shaking his head, there was absolutely no doubt that he was his child, and he couldn't be more proud about his early womanizing acts even when Elena hated them.
"You do realize that you're the bridesmaid right?" Damon yelled once he realized Elena was not coming out anytime soon.
"Well this is your fault!" she shouted and he could hear her voice coming closer. "You knocked me up and now I'm stuck with these two who just don't let me dress them in peace." She stepped into the living room holding the twins she had a little over a year ago.
"Oh there's my beautiful babies." Damon cooed in a soft voice and took Killian in his arms, the baby squealed and touched his cheek softly. "Don't listen to your mom, I'm sure you're being an angel." He said before placing a kiss on his chubby cheek and placing him in the double stroller.
"Yeah right, you say that because you weren't there." Elena muttered while placing Khloe in the stroller next to her brother. "You two just ran away and left me with all the work." She said pointing her finger towards Damon and Julian.
"Mom, we were on serious wedding duty." Julian said in a serious voice.
"Oh yeah right." She muttered back.
"Daddy, daddy!" Ella shouted and came stumbling towards Damon who immediately lifted her up and twirled her around in his arms.
"Aren't you beautiful?" he said while looking at her in her white dress with her curls falling against her shoulders.
"Like momma." She answered.
"Yeah, just like her." Damon said while looking adoringly at Elena who gave him a warm smile.
"Okay, we all ready?" she said looking around the house. They had bought a new bigger house after they found out they were having twins, Damon's apartment couldn't hold all of them anymore.
"Yes, we are. Now let's go." Damon said clapping his hands softly. He would never admit this out loud, but he was damn excited about this wedding.
"GiGi." Ella murmured, referring to the pink elephant she carried around all the time.
"Where is Gigi?" Elena said to the baby girl softly.
"Upstairs." The toddler answered with a trembling lip. The idea of going somewhere without the stuffed animal was unbearable to her.
"Then let's find it." Elena said softly before pressing a kiss to her forehead.
"I'll go with her." Julian said and took Ella's little hand and Elena watched them marveled as they walked away, this was her little family, well not so little anymore.
"We made it good right?" she heard Damon's voice from behind and then she felt him wrap his strong arms around her waist.
"Yes we did." She threw her head back and rested it against his shoulder.
"They drive us crazy most of the time, but aren't they adorable?" he murmured against her ear. "I mean just look at the twins." Elena turned her head to the side and stared at the two beautiful children who lay comfortably in the stroller.
She had been scared to death during the entire pregnancy, even when Damon tried to calm her and make her feel good, she couldn't help the fear that gripped her tightly. But when she looked at them for the first time she knew everything was worth it, nobody was taking them away from her, this time around she looked after them as they opened their eyes for the first time.
She smiled softly as the two pairs of blue eyes stared back at her.
"We couldn't just make one that looked a little bit like me right?" she reproached him teasingly. "Was it that hard?"
"Well baby the reason they look so alike to me is because you're crazy about your sexy husband." He whispered before biting her earlobe softly.
"Haha very funny." She answered back. "But you may be right about that." She laced their fingers together and purred softly as he started running his nose down her neck.
"But if you want one that looks like you we can always try for some more."
"No way, four is enough."
"But Elena-"
"You are not knocking me up again." She said, releasing herself from his embrace and looking into his blue eyes with a smile on her lips.
"Fine, but we can adopt another one." He said giving her puppy eyes.
"No way, Damon we have our hands full with these four."
"But I want one more." He said with a pout on his lips.
"Nope."
"Oh I'll convince you later." He said, shrugging and giving her a soft kiss on the lips.
"We're back." Julian announced entering the living room with Ella and the pink animal in her arms.
"Then let's go." Damon said while Elena took her purse and the twins' bag. He took the stroller and Julian had Ella's hand safely in his; he was such a good brother, his parents felt more proud of him with every day that passed.
And so the family left for the oh so expected wedding.
"Ready?" Elena asked, entering into the room Caroline was in.
"I think so." The blonde girl answered with a small smile. "God I've never been more nervous in my entire life." She muttered. "Not even at the Miss Mystic Falls Pagent."
"You'll be fine."
"I can't believe this day is finally here." Caroline said to her best friend with unshed tears in her eyes.
"I know." Elena answered with a smile and walked towards her. "I'm so happy for you, this is the day that you've been dreaming of." She took her hands and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Ready?"
"Yeah, Let's go."
As the church doors opened and some soft music started playing in the back ground Bonnie walked graciously down the aisle, Elena followed her, the pink dress she wore was flowing around her and her curls fell graciously on her back. She turned her head to the side and saw Ric and Jenna sitting with her kids and Damon, she winked at him with a smile on her lips as he smirked back at her, God her husband was gorgeous.
She stood in the aisle and gave a warm smile to the groom who returned the smile nervously, then the wedding march began and they all fixed their eyes to the front to see the bride.
Caroline floated down the aisle with her princess cut Vera Wang and she couldn't look more beautiful, Elena then saw the look of adoration Stefan was giving his bride and smiled softly. After all this time and the heartache they did find their way back to each other.
The minute Caroline's eyes found Stefan's she knew she was in the right place, there was nothing to be nervous about. She was where she belonged. She loved Klaus, she really did. There was a time when she actually thought she was going to be happy with him, but Stefan was always at the back of her mind and her heart and even when she did her best to forget him he always came back, because in the end the one true love of her life would always be Stefan, and now here they were, making this dream come true.
It was a lovely ceremony, Caroline shed more than a few tears when Stefan read his vows and Elena did it as well when it was her friends turn to read them. You could see the love shining between the two lovers, it was a happy day, the happiest day of their lives.
.
.
The party was in full swing, Caroline and Stefan were really enjoying themselves and everyone around them seemed to be just happy, of course nothing could be more contagious than Caroline's excitement.
Elena looked around the room and saw her twelve year old boy flirting with Caroline's little cousin Ginny and rolled her eyes, could he be more alike to his father? She kissed the dark hair of the baby in her arms and smiled when she spotted Alaric and Jenna trying to dance with Ella and their child on the dance floor, it was quite a sight to see.
"Dance with me Mrs. Salvatore?" the husky voice of her husband made her look up and she found him staring at her with loving eyes.
"I would love to Mr. Salvatore but I think your son may get a little jealous." She said in a hushed tone and Damon couldn't help but smile at her.
"Oh I think he'll be fine, right buddy?" Damon said kneeling to be eye level with his younger son, the baby squealed in his mother's arms and touched Damon's chin softly.
"Dadda." He said before starting to babble things that none of his parents could really understand.
"See, he's giving me permission." Damon said proudly.
"Yeah right." Elena said with a small smile and kissed her son's cheek softly. Damon took the baby in his arms and stoop up.
"Baby Gilbert would you mind?" he said motioning for Jeremy to hold the baby.
"Of course not, come here buddy." Jeremy extended his arms and Damon placed Killian there, the baby's blue eyes never leaving him out of sight.
"Now let's go Mrs. Salvatore." He extended his hand to Elena who accepted it happily and stood up from her chair, before leaving they heard their baby girl babble behind them.
"Dadda, Dadda." Khloe repeated a few times.
"Oh I know princess." Damon said bending down and kissing his daughter's cheek softly. "But don't worry your mom and I won't take long, I wouldn't leave you with judgy for that long."
"Damon!" both Elena and Bonnie chided him.
"What?!" he said nonchalantly.
"You're an ass." Bonnie muttered.
"Watch your language." Damon said with a smirk. "You're holding my daughter." Bonnie rolled her eyes at him and returned her attention to the baby in her arms and the man next to her. She had been engaged to Jeremy for a few weeks and everyone was just waiting for them to decide the date for the wedding.
Elena placed her head against Damon's chest as the music enveloped them softly; she loved the moments like these when she felt so connected to him, like they were sharing the same soul. His hand traced small circles on her waist and she relaxed at his touch immediately.
The moment was pure magic, Elena couldn't feel happier. Caroline being the romantic she was had picked up the whole music personlly and now the couple was dancing to Elena's favorite movie soundtrack ever. As 'Moon River' flowed between them Damon was sure that everything in his life was perfect.
After a few moments of slowly dancing in silence, just enjoying each other's presence Damon started to feel the need overtake his body, just like it did every time he was this close with his wife.
He took her hand and started dragging her softly across the room. "What are you doing?" she asked once he started speeding up to the entry.
"We are going to have slutty wedding sex."
"What?!"
"You heard me, I just need you right now." He said with desperation in his voice. They arrived at the bathroom and he looked inside to make sure there was no one in there, once he was sure he dragged her and locked the door behind them.
"You are out your mind." Elena scolded him softly.
"Come on baby, I need you." He pouted. "Let's have slutty wedding sex."
"I am a mother of four; I can't have slutty wedding sex."
"That didn't stop you from having slutty kitchen sex with me last night." Damon said with a smirk on his lips remembering how good that was while Elena blushed a deep crimson.
"But in a bathroom? At Caroline's wedding?"
"Oh we've done it in worst places." Damon reasoned with her before giving her a soft languid kiss that left her melting into the ground. "Come on baby."
"Fine." That kiss did it for her, there was no way in the world that she could resist Damon Salvatore.
He picked her up and placed her on the sink before lifting her dress and stroking her against her panties. "For someone who didn't want this you're awfully wet babe." He whispered against her chest while his finger went inside her underwear and started stroking her softly.
"Well it's your fault, you make me so horny." Elena said trying to catch her breath while her eyes were closing from the immense pleasure he was giving her.
"Only me." He whispered against her chest as he kissed her breast through the material of her dress.
"Just you." She answered back. He took his thumbs on the lace of her panties and slowly removed them before putting them in his pocket.
"You are going to love this." He said before sinking into her. Every centimeter of him went in slowly and Elena enjoyed every single one of them, there was no more amazing feeling than Damon's length completely inside her. His lips devoured hers as he started rocking them hard against the bathroom sink.
It was hard, fast, dirty, sweaty and they both loved every minute of it.
"Is he asleep?" Elena asked from the couch when she spotted her husband walking into the living room where she was
"Yes, finally." Damon said letting out a sigh. "I had to sing to him like three times."
"I can't believe he can only sleep when you're holding him" Elena said with a smile on her face. It amazed her how good Damon was at this whole parenting thing, he loved their children like nothing else and that made her extremely happy "All of our children love your damn arms"
"Oh you love them too"
He took of his shoes and sat down on the couch with his back against it while his feet were on top of the table.
"It was a good wedding." He said while kinking his eyebrows at her.
"Yeah it was." Elena answered with a devilish smile, she moved closer to him and put her legs on top of his lap and he started rubbing them softly.
It was a good life the one they shared, it wasn't perfect of course, they fight and yell at each other and there were moments when she wanted to disappear and never see him again but that didn't last long, because she couldn't be five minutes away from him, the memories of the time that they were apart always caused a sting in her heart even after all these years, she needed him like she needed air.
She had confronted her mother about lying to her on the identity of her birth father a few years ago, and they had started to try and sort things out, she talked to them once in a while but things were never remotely close to the way they used to be.
But even with all the ups and downs in her life she wouldn't change it for anything, she was as happy as someone could be.
"Penny for your thoughts. She asked in a small voice when she saw him zone out on her.
"I was thinking." He said before taking a deep breath. "We have a pretty good life." She smiled softly because that was what was in her mind as well.
"Yes we do Damon." She moved a bit closer and rested her head against his chest while he surrounded her with his arm.
"I wake up sometimes at night and I'm scared." She could feel his voice shaking from the force of his emotion.
"Scared of what?"
"Of everything." He whispered softly. "Good things never stay with me and I just keep waiting for all this to crumble down, to realize that I've been dreaming all along." Elena could feel the loud thud of his heart and hear the panic appear in his voice.
"Damon..." She released herself and looked at him straight in the eye. "You don't have to be scared my love." Elena stroked his cheek softly. "This is your life, you earned it, you're a good man who fought hard for what he wanted, you deserve all of this." His lips turned into a half smile and then he kissed her lips softly.
"How can you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Make me feel better with just one look." She rested her head on his chest once again while he embraced her tightly. "You look at me and suddenly I feel safe, somehow I know that nothing can go wrong if you keep looking at me like that."
"Well it's the same feeling I get when you look at me Damon." She murmured against his chest. "You are my safe place, every time that I get scared or insecure I just have to go to you and I know everything will be fine."
"Yeah I know the feeling." He pressed a soft kiss against her head and inhaled in her scent. "It was the feeling I got from the first moment I saw you on my porch the summer of 2002." She smiled remembering their first meeting, she had loved him since that moment. "When those doe eyes stared at me I felt at home for the first time in my life."
During the first months after they finally got back together Damon still remained somehow bitter about everything that happened back then, about the time that was taken away from them, the opportunities, the joy but he didn't feel that way anymore. He realized now that none of it mattered anymore because they were finally together. So now he looked back to those days and smiled because that was when the most amazing journey of his life begun.
"It feels like another life time right?" Elena said absently. She felt so far away from the girl she used to be back then but at the same time extremely connected to her.
"Yeah, sometimes I wonder if the kid I was back then would feel proud of the man I am today." He said while rubbing her arms softly.
"Of course he would." Elena answered without hesitation. "How could he not?"
"I love you Elena, I feel like I've loved you every moment of my life." She lifted her head and stared at him underneath her lashes. "Even when I didn't know you." He placed a soft kiss to her lips as she pressed her hand against his chest just above his heart.
"And I love you Damon." She said before returning to her original position curled around him. "Always have and always will." She closed her eyes as he stroked her arms lightly while singing softly to her.
Two drifters, off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting, round the bend
My Huckleberry Friend, Moon River, and me.
THANK YOU! 3
