Be Somebody

It's Christmas!

Hey, guys! I know that I just uploaded twice in one sitting but in here and on Fanfiction net I was a chapter behind, now it's equal to my Ao3 account.

I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, I'm working on finishing the 22nd chapter!

The picture above is a mood board I made of my OC, Nansia.

Enjoy!

Everyone woke up with a squeal from Stephanie and they rushed downstairs to see her holding a huge teddy bear.

"SANTA REMEMBERED!" She yelled loudly and happily as she shook the teddy bear.

"Why don't you all look happy?" Stefanie asked confused.

"We are hungry, adults, to the kitchen!" Elena said seriously and everyone followed her.

In the kitchen Elena looked at them with her best "I'm gonna kill you if you don't follow this rule" face and said;

"No one is killing anyone today! Today will be killing free day and if it's not then I'm gonna kill you in your sleep! Now, Nansia and Damon are cooking, Caroline, Alaric, Lizzie and Josie you are getting the day off until lunch to fix your family! We won't ruin Christmas for Stefanie!" Elena said seriously and Hope looked a little uncomfortable.

"Hope you are spending your day with us." She said serious yet she had soft eyes.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Forbes-Salvatore, I didn't mean to kill you. It was an accident I was protecting Lizzie." Nansia apologized truthfully.

"It's okay, I understand, you did the right thing. I'm glad my daughters have you as a friend. Good thing is that I'm a vampire so I come back from the dead. You need to learn to control your magic." Caroline said seriously and finally stopping being in defense.

"Now, that we are done with Nansia killing Caroline yesterday, now let's get Christmas going right now!" Elena said decisively and clapped her hands and everyone nodded.

"Now, let's get breakfast ready." Damon said with the same tone as his wife. Everyone nodded agreeing with Elena for the sake of holidays and the Christmas spirit and little Stefanie that was left alone in the living room going through her presents and peaking at presents that wasn't hers.

Nansia made BLTs or as she feverishly defended them as toasts for everyone while Damon took over making the coffees like the doses while Lizzie took over putting the water boiler or the instant coffee machine. While Elena and Caroline were arrange which tray is whose and Alaric with Josie were with Stefanie to keep her from opening all the presents and Alaric was starting the fireplace and Josie was keeping Stefanie busy.

As they exchanged presents and ate their breakfast the atmosphere didn't feel all that festive or happy but didn't feel forced it was a perfect middle. They smiled and thanked for the presents then everyone disburse and went to do their own things which were mostly things Elena asked them to work on.

Damon and Nansia dressed as warmly as they could and got ready to go to the supermarket and for a small stroll around the city like they had planned the next day while Elena and Stefanie were starting to do some crafts and later would go ice skating once lunch was over along with Damon, Nansia and Hope.

Hope was video chatting with her family for the most part but later did some self-care routine trying to calm herself down from yesterday's events. She wanted to check in with Nansia and Lizzie but both girls seemed to be whisked away by their families'. Hope was slightly jealous and she missed her parents very much but tried not to think about it or else she would be blundered into a dark headspace and today was Christmas! It would be some sort of form of blasphemy if she thought dark thoughts, right?
