The Petrova Twins Epilogue.
Epilogue.
Five Years Later.
Elena POV.
"Damon come on! We're going to be late!" I shouted into our room as he was buttoning his shirt.
"We'll be fine. And anyway, it's all your fault that you distracted me in the shower." He chuckled wrapping his arms around my waist.
"You look beautiful, by the way." He whispered in my ear and ran his hands over my hips.
I was wearing the strapless red dress that Caroline and Rebekah had sent over from London at for mine and Kat's birthday. They had given Katherine a pair of heels that she had adored. It was Christmas Eve, and we made it a habit to meet up like this every year on this day.
"You don't look so bad yourself." I said slyly and turned around to kiss him.
In five years things hadn't changed. They were as perfect as they day we met. But they were different too, Klaus and Caroline were perfectly happy and Rebekah and Elijah were a part of their little family. After a thousand years they had finally come together again. And Bonnie had graduated from college now, she was a doctor back in Mystic Falls.
"We really are going to be late if you keep doing that." He growled as I bit down on his lip.
"So are we telling everyone tonight?" I said softly as his hands rested on my waist.
"It's about time. It's been a week 'Lena. I've nearly said I don't know how many times. I'm keeping it from my own brother."
"I know. And it's hard keeping it from Kat too. They know something's up." I said softly as he played with my hair.
"They'll flip when they find out. All of them." He chuckled and I laughed with him.
"Well that's why we waited. So we could tell them all together. So they could 'flip' together." He gently kissed the top of my head and sighed deeply.
"Come on. We need to find Kitty Kat and Steffy before we leave." He said as he wrapped one of his arms around my waist.
"You know they hate it when you call them that." I scolded lightly as I rested my head on the crook of his neck.
"They're not here right now. I can say what I want."
"If Katherine hears you say that then you well be dead." I said jokingly walking towards Kat's room.
"I'm already dead sweetheart." He commented dryly and I just rolled my eyes.
"Kat! You in-" I cut myself off when I opened the door and saw what I saw.
Katherine and Stefan full scale making out. With Kat against the wall. With her legs wrapped around his waist. And Stefan's shirt undone.
"Finally! I've been waiting one hundred and fifty years for this!" I screamed while Stefan blushed.
"When did this start?" Damon smirked as I crossed my hands over my chest.
"About ten minutes ago." Kat commented lightly as she slid her legs down from Stefan, keeping her arms around his neck.
"It's about time you made a move, Stef." I winked as Stefan hid his head in Katherine's curls.
"Well keep yourselves from jumping each other for a few hours okay? We're late as it is to see everyone." I said as I fixed Kat's dress and did up Stefan's shirt.
"Having fun Mother Hen?" Kat mocked and I just rolled my eyes.
"Lots of it." I winked and took Damon's hand as we walked out of the room.
"You know I'm proud baby bro, how long has it been since you got some? Just be careful Kitty Kat over there doesn't give you anything. Like an STD. God knows what she's jumped into bed with." Damon joked as we slid into his Camaro.
"What have I said about calling me that? And you know I can't say anything about your taste in women. Besides the fact that I have no idea what Elena sees in you Damey." My sister replied in a sickeningly sweet voice.
"We're talked about this before. You don't call me Damey."
"And you don't call me Kitty Kat."
"Okay, that's enough." I interrupted and Stefan chuckled.
"Not now, Kat." He said softly to her and she leaned into him.
I looked at the two of them in the rear view mirror and smiled. My sister looked happier than even and Stefan had the light back in his eyes that he had been missing since he was turned. My family was as perfect as it could get now.
As we drove down the bar just off the block I thought about how Kat hadn't noticed my change in jewellery. I placed my hand on my collarbone to play with my daylight necklace. That was the only necklace there now. For a week I had been playing with a different necklace that had rested on top of it.
"We're here!" I chirped and hopped out of the car.
Damon chuckled and kissed my cheek.
"I take it your excited kitten?"
"Aren't you?" I giggled as he squeezed my hand.
"It will be nice to see Blonde One and Blonde Two again. Caroline seems to get more hyper every time I see her. But I want to see how judgy's getting on. I can imagine her as a doctor. Klaus and Elijah have always been good drinking buddies, anyway." He chuckled and I smiled up at him.
Whether he like to admit it or not, Damon had become a part of our extended family.
"You're here!" Caroline squealed and threw herself into my arms.
"Hi Care." I laughed and squeezed her tiny body closer to mine.
"I can't believe it's been a year!"
"You say that every year." I said lightly as she kissed my cheek.
"Elena!" Rebekah shouts and tears me from Caroline's arms.
"Bekah! I've missed you." I say to her as she pulls back.
"I've missed you too. And you're wearing the dress. It looks beautiful on you." Bekah said and smiled brightly.
"I told you it would." Caroline interjected and I smiled at the two of them.
"Where's my little Bon Bon?" I said over them and Bonnie came rushing to hug me.
"Long time no see Elena!" She giggled and I stroked her hair.
"How's Jeremy doing, Mrs Gilbert?" I teased and asked about her new husband.
Their wedding had been beautiful, small but perfect. Mystic Falls was the perfect place to have a wedding. Jeremy Gilbert was one of the sweetest boys I had ever met and he was so good with Bonnie, and he knew all about us.
Coming from a founding family he knew all about vampires, he was wary of us at the start but once he got to know us and Bonnie told him our history he gradually became one of us. Not a vampire, just another member of the family.
He never came to things like this though. He said he felt like he was intruding on private moments, and not one of us would stop him.
"He's good. Thanks for asking. He wanted me to tell you he said 'Hi'." Bonnie chuckled and I smiled back at her.
"Eli!" I screamed and jumped into his arms as he twirled me around.
"How've you been 'Lena?" He chuckled at my enthusiasm and set my down.
"Brilliant. And you?" I said as he gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Good. I've been fine 'Lena." He winked and I moved on to where Klaus was talking to Stefan.
Over the years those two had gotten weirdly close, as had Damon and Elijah.
"There's my favourite Petrova." Klaus chuckled and pulled me in for a brief hug.
"I heard that you know!" Kat shouted over from where she was talking to Rebekah and Elijah.
"You were meant to love!" Klaus smiled back at her as she stuck her tongue out at him.
"Damon, how is it every time I see you your eyes get more blue?" Caroline said to Damon and I smiled to myself as I saw the two of them and Bonnie all laughing together.
I walked back over to them and wrapped my hand around Damon's arm.
"Hi princess." He said softly as I tilted my head up to kiss him softly.
"Elena?" Caroline said tentatively and I broke away from Damon to look at her.
"Yes Caroline?" I replied, hoping that she'd noticed.
"Is that- Is that what I think it is?" She said in shock.
"Yeah, it is." I smiled brightly back at her.
"OH MY GOD! IT'S ABOUT GOD DAMN TIME! KLAUS! REBEKAH! COME SEE!" Caroline screamed and Damon and I both took a step back to at least try and save our ears.
"What is it?" Katherine laughed as her and Stefan came towards us.
"Elena you haven't told anyone yet?" Care said, her light blue eyes wide.
"No. We wanted everyone to find out together." I whispered as Kat grew impatient.
"What is it?!" Kat shouted impatiently.
I held out my left hand and she grabbed it quickly.
"Oh," Kat said breathlessly and I smiled up at her.
"Damon and I are engaged." I said happily.
And then everyone started shouting and laughing and different hands were grabbing us in for hugs.
"Congratulations brother." Stefan smiled as he and Damon hugged each other.
"'Lena," Kat said, crying slightly.
"I'm so happy for you." She whispered hugging me and I kissed her cheek.
"Thank you Kat."
"I think this calls for champagne!" Rebekah shouted and we all laughed in agreement.

"That was…eventful." Damon chuckled as he slid down the zipper on my dress.
"That's one word for it," I said lightly as I looked out the window at the snow.
"You're wearing the underwear I bought you darling." He whispered in my ear and I tilted my head back.
"It is Christmas Eve. I thought I might give you present early." I teased and turned around in his arms so I could undo his shirt.
He threw it to the ground and walked over to the bed.
"Come over here so I can unwrap my present then." He growled and I moved to straddle him.
"I love you, fiancé." I giggled as he pinned me to the bed.
"You have no idea how good it feels to hear you say that." He said before he kissed me.
"After all these years, we're a family aren't we?" I asked quietly and he smirked at me, brushing my hair from my face.
"Of course we are. And I love you. More than I've ever loved anything. Always and forever."
"Always and forever."
