STEFAN SAUNTERED DOWN THE HALLS OF THE PLACE HE ONCE CALLED HIS HOME. The place was virtually unrecognizable, but he loved the idea that the place had now been turned into a school to help children, just like Lizzie and Josie control their supernatural urges. With generous donors from himself, Damon, and surprisingly, Klaus Mikaelson himself, the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted had done rather well.

Shortly after Bonnie had woken Elena from the slumber that Kai Parker had bound her to, the Bennett witch had found a way to ensure that Damon could take the cure from his brother without fear of Stefan aging rapidly and dying. She had used her magic to place a preservation spell on Stefan, so that even if the cure was taken from him, Stefan would remain physically exactly how he was. His life was infinite, similarly to how vampirism was, though it didn't come with the bloodlust— which he was grateful for. He and Klara were able to live their immortal lives together, for all time.  

As he reached the end of the hall, he smirked the moment he read Klara Salvatore — Head Mistress on the door ahead of him. With a gentle knock, he carefully opened the door to see his wife's face immediately light up when her eyes met his. "Hey, you."

"Hey! Oh, is it that time, already?" A small chuckle escaped Klara's lips as she watched Stefan place a to-go coffee cup in front of her. Every single day since the school had first opened, Stefan had joined Klara for lunch. "Mm. I say it all the time, but you are the best husband in the world."

"And, don't you forget it." Stefan smiled back toward her as his eyes glanced across a file that was left out, open on her desk. "Hope Mikaelson? Is she— a problem again?"

"She's grieving the loss of her mother and her father." Klara shrugged softly as she leaned back in her chair. "I think we both know what that feels like. How it eats you up as a person. And, she's just a kid—"

"Like you were."

"Like I was." Klara nodded slowly, her eyes flickered down to the file which she had finally closed just as she closed her through. "So, what have I missed in the five hours that you and I have been away from each other?"

"Uh— I got a call from Damon today. Stefanie said her first word." The Salvatore revealed as he watched her eyes widen with a smile. "Yeah. Obviously, it was Mama."

A sadistic grin formed on Klara's lips at the thought of Damon being irritated by his daughter's first word having nothing to do with him. "Hm. I bet Damon was thrilled." The blonde vampire lifted herself up from her seat and dropped down into Stefan's lap, while his arms wrapped around her waist. "Maybe we should torment him about that."

"Ooh, I like your thinking, Mrs. Salvatore." Stefan teased with a smirk on his lips as their foreheads pressed together. "Have I mentioned how beautiful you look today?"

"No, Mr. Salvatore, I don't think you have." A smirk swept across Klara's face as her lips pressed against Stefan's. But, their moment was swiftly interrupted by the entrance of Caroline Forbes, who caused the couple to peel away from each other. "Oh. Care, I— Stefan's here."

"I can see that." Caroline awkwardly cleared her throat before she waved at the Salvatore. "Uh— I was wondering if you were free to discuss the honors class trip, but I can come back."

"No. No, it's fine! I was actually going, anyway." Stefan patted Klara's thigh gently as she stepped off of his lap to let him stand. He straightened his jacket and pressed a kiss on Klara's forehead. "I'll see you at home."

Caroline gave Stefan yet another wave before Stefan closed the door behind him. The Forbes girl dropped down into the chair and rolled her eyes. "God. Please, don't tell me you two were just about to—"

"Caroline, I'm at work. I have some class."

"I bet to differ." The Forbes girl wriggled her eyebrows as she watched Klara smirk.

"Shut up. We've got a school to run."

AN:
anddd, that's this book completely finished!! I really hope you guys loved it as much as I have, I was so scared to post these last two chapters out of fear of what people would say. I didn't want to disappoint anyone, and I really hope I haven't.
Also, I'm thinking about writing a prequel to this, but it will only cover season 1 and obviously, Stefan and Klara won't be together, so would any of you be interested in that?
