Epilogue: One Last One

It was a few months later and everyone knew about Bonnie and Damon being a couple. They were not all happy about it but they seemed to accept it at least for now. Jeremy took it the hardest because he thought that Damon would hurt Bonnie as he has done with every woman that he's been involved with. No matter what anyone said or thought they were happy for the moment. Bonnie was desperately afraid that something or someone would take their happiness away because she knew that normally their lives and their town; hardly ever stayed calm.

She knew that this was just the calm before the storm but she would take whatever she could get. Damon was on cloud nine because for the first time in his life he was in a healthy and happy relationship. It was like for the first time he felt like he was on solid ground and nothing was going to change that. Come hell or high water nothing could come between Bonnie and Damon now; at least they think nothing could.

If an original came to town and released Katherine from her tomb prison though; it could stir up some trouble for them. This actually happened but no one in mystic falls knew that this event took place. Elijah came to town and freed Katherine from her tomb. She convinced him that she merely wanted to live her life. That was an utter lie; the first thing that Katherine did was tried to impersonate Elena. She came to the boardinghouse that morning and ran into Damon. She immediately started to come onto him and even tried to kiss him but he pushed her away.

Then he said, "What's wrong with you? Bonnie's right upstairs and I love her. I thought that you loved Stefan or did I miss a memo?"

"Wow, Damon and I thought you were the smart one."

"Katherine, how did you get free?"

"That's not important but I do need a place to stay. I hope that your little girlfriend doesn't mind me staying here."

"No, she won't care because you're not staying here. Over my dead body are you staying in this house with me?"

"Well, Stefan already told me that I could."

"Really did he tell you, Katherine or you pretending to be Elena?"

Bonnie suddenly walked down the stairs, she was there so often that she practically lived there. She immediately knew that it was Katherine and not Elena.

"What is that whore doing here and how did she escape?"

"If I had to guess, I would say that a certain original helped her out. She thinks that she's staying here and I told her to hit the bricks. She claims that Stefan told her that she could stay here."

"I did tell her that she can stay here and yes I know that it's Katherine."

Stefan said as he came into the room.

"Really and why didn't you clear it with me first?"

"Well, I didn't think that I had to inform you about who I invite to stay here. I mean you never asked me if Bonnie could practically move in here but here she is right? So why should I ask you or tell you anything?"

"Because she isn't just some random person and you know it. She's my ex-girlfriend and your ex-girlfriend as well. Can't you see what a dilemma this is for me to live under the same house as her?"

Katherine started to put her hands on Damon and said, "There was a time when you wanted to be under me always. What turned you into such a jerk?"

Damon pushed her away and said, "You did, now keep your damned hands off of me. I'll be in my room with Bonnie, let me know when pest control comes and takes the bugs away. Come on Bonnie let's go to my room."

Bonnie didn't say anything but she did follow Damon to his room and proceed to have very loud sex with him. Since it was the weekend; they had sex almost all day before they finally came up for air. Bonnie wanted food and she made Damon run down to get some. Stefan was surprised by his brother's attention to Bonnie.

"Wow, I thought it would be much longer before I saw you again and you're dressed in clothes too."

"Please we weren't that loud, were we?"

"No, I'm just joking but the look on Katherine's face was priceless though."

"Well, that does make me happy because I live to make her miserable. You never did tell me why you let that horrible disaster move in with us?"

"Well, I thought that would be obvious, if she is staying here, then we won't have to worry about her just showing up everywhere."

"Oh, I get it; you want to keep an eye on her. You better make sure that is all that you have on her, if you get what I'm saying."

"Yea, you're implying that I would hook up with her again but your wrong, I love only Elena."

"Good then you better keep it in your pants until our house guest leaves. I know how Katherine works and she would jump into bed with either one of us, if given half a chance and we both know that."

"I don't know about you but that door is sealed shut on my side."

"Good then we are in agreement for once in our lives. I feel the same way, in fact I'm going to ask Bonnie to move in with us, is that ok with you?"

"That's fine, I was only joking before. I mean she is always here anyways, you might as well make it official."

The brothers smiled and both left in search of their girlfriends. It didn't take Damon long to find Bonnie as she was still in his bed.

He came into the room and Bonnie immediately sat up and said, "Where's the food that you promised me?"

"I forgot, I ran into Stefan and we got to talking about the Katherine situation. Anyway it made me come to a decision; I want you to move in with me. Not just for a little while but forever. Do you think that there's any chance of that happening?"

At first Bonnie just sat there in shock then after a few minutes she smiled and said, "Are you sure that this is what you really want and it isn't just a knee jerk reaction from seeing Katherine?"

Damon went towards her and pulled her closer to him and said, "Yes, I want this and you more than I have ever wanted anything before in my life. What do you say will you move in with me?"

She nodded her head slightly with tears in her eyes. Then Damon kissed all her fears away as they sunk down towards the bed and forgot all about the food once again. It seemed that everything was going to work itself out because it was meant to happen. They would all enjoy their happily ever after for now at least until some unforeseen force came a ripped it all away but that's another story for another time.

THE END……
