January 5:

Damon and I wed today. Finn acted as my "older brother" and gave me away. Giuseppe stated he was proud of Damon and he welcomed me not only as a friend but as his daughter.

After the reception we went to the smaller cottage I had built in the woods. I had it for when I just needed a day or two alone.
As we stood before each other ready to consummate our marriage Damon spoke.
"I think I have loved you my whole life and now you are my wife. How did I get so lucky?" He cupped my cheeks kissing me softly.
"I am the lucky one. You love me with your whole heart."
He laid me on the bed then kissing me deeply and passionately. This was not our first time but it was our first time while married. He had been given the chosen mate bond. He wanted me to wait till he was at least 25 to change what he was. I agreed as I would not force anything on those I loved.
Our love making started out slow tonight. Gentle touches, caresses kisses and exploring. Relearning each others bodies, every thing that sent shivers of pleasure racing through one another's bodies. The passion climbing slowly and he had yet to even enter me.
When he did he thrust into me fast then rolled to his back taking me with him. I sat up straddling him, his hands gripping my hips as I rode him. My head leaned back as my hips rolled. He thrust to meet my body every time I came down. As my back arched at the growing pleasure his hands left my hips to grasp my breasts. Rolling my nipples between his fingers even as he used them to pull me down to meet his upwards thrusts.
Soon though our passion climaxed as we came together. I screamed out his name. We collapsed into each other. He held me close to his chest as we slowly drifted off to sleep together. Happy and in love.

April was not a good month this year. The civil war had begun. Damon wanted to make his father proud and happy so he enlisted. He still would not let me change him yet but he did take a protection charm from me. He promised to write to me as well. When he left Stefan stepped up and was great company to me as well as friends with Finn and Oberyn. He too knew our truth. It wasn't until a month after Damon left that I discovered I was pregnant with his twins. Stefan was overjoyed that he was to be an Uncle. Finn and Oberyn could not wait for our new children. Giuseppe was glad to become a grandfather. Obara, Nymeria, Tristan and Tala all returned home as well, and were excited to welcome their new siblings.

I had written to inform Damon of them and I wrote him weekly as well. But for some reason I was getting no letters back. Stefan was getting letters, but whenever he asked why Damon was not writing me or asking after me he too never got answers. Stefan, Finn and Oberyn all tried to assure me it was simply the war that was causing this. I tried not to worry but it was hard, so I turned my focus to my coming children.

December 20:

I was due any day now. Stefan liked to tease that I was waiting for Christmas, just to make him an Uncle as his gift. He had been a great companion through the whole pregnancy. He reminded me of my sweet Kol in that way.
Today though I needed to get out and walk. I had stayed inside to much. Stefan insisted on walking with me. As we walked through town a horse startled and started kicking and thrashing. Even though Stefan tried to get me out of the way and suffered a broken arm for his trouble I was kicked in the side and fell.
I went into labor right then. Stefan got me home and as they got me situated I healed his arm. Within two hours I had two beautiful baby boys. Both born with full heads of black hair and blue eyes like their father. I named them Matteo and Marco.
You would think for all his pride Giuseppe had not only been the father but gave birth to them as well. He did say they looked exact copies of the way Damon did when he was bornsent
