The Blue Eyed Gilbert

Epilogue part 2 of 2

-1 year later-
I look around as I walk down the aisle. This is my dream come true. Lillian is 10 years of age. Everyone is here. I look to the left and see Alaric. He's walking me down the aisle. I smile and turn forward. I see Damon and he's looking at me admiring my get up. He looks me in the eyes and I can see love, lust and passion and I'm sure he can see the same in my eyes except mine holds a bit of fear. A flash of worry and concern hits his face but disappears quickly. Alaric gives my hand to Damon and we look at eachother. The vows are said and we both say what we want to say. As soon as the priest asks if anyone denies us getting married, someone comes barging in. We all look at her and see Melanie wearing the same dress and everything as me.
"I reject!" She says. Everyone gasps. Why does she have to wreck it?! It was going so well!
"Christina? What are you doing here?" Damon asks looking at her.
"It's Melanie! That is Christina!" She says pointing at me. Shit! Damon looks at me and backs away.
"Is that true?" He asks me.
"No! I'm Melanie! Damon please." I say begging him hoping he believes me. Why does she wreck it?!
"I have a question for you both. If we were to have sex right now, would you do it?" He asks.
"Of course I would Damon. I love you." I say. He looks at Melanie.
"No I wouldn't. It would be inappropriate." She says. Damon walks to me and then walks past me down to Melanie.
"Melanie?" He asks her.
"It's me Damon." She says looking at him in the eyes. I voom out of there quickly and head home.

Melanie's POV
I'm so glad Damon knew it was actually me. I'm glad I got there in time. We walk to the alter and we get this done properly. I wanted this day to go so differently. Damon picks me up and I squeal. He vooms us home and he sits me down on the couch.
"What happened?" He asks.
"I was about to leave the dressing room when Christina entered. She was wearing exactly what I was. She snapped my neck and the next thing I know is I'm waking up hearing the priest. I ran and entered saying I reject. You know the rest from there." I explain.
"I'm so sorry Melanie. I should have seen the difference in her eyes. She looked like you. She tricked me. I'm sorry." He says.
"Stop. It's fine." I say honestly. He looks at me and nods. We are finally wedded and happy. Nothing is going to wreck this.
