Stelena: Eternal Love (2)

7- Elena's 20th Birthday

AN: Hey guys! This is going to a really long chapter so that's why it's taken so long.

One week later

Elena's POV

I woke up with my head snuggled into Stefan's chest, his arm draped around my body, and his cheek lightly resting on the top of my head. Basically, I woke up to perfection. With university still going on, I never get the time to fully enjoy the mornings with Stefan. So, I've missed this a lot. When the realisation that today is my birthday set in, two emotions came to mind: excitement but also sadness. Sadness, for the fact that me growing older reminds me of how fast time seems to pass us by. And excitement, for the fact that I can never help but to still get that excited feeling when I realise it's my birthday. I was beginning to get lost in my own thoughts before I felt Stefan stir from underneath me. A couple seconds later I felt Stefan's grip around me tighten and felt a light kiss on my temple.
"Happy birthday honey." He whispered against my skin, making me both smile and tingle with joy: I loved that he still had that effect on me.
"Thank you baby." I replied with a massive smile on my face.
"Which reminds me." He said as he attempted to get out of bed. I say 'attempted' because he didn't get far before I lightly gripped his wrists and pulled him back into bed.
"And where do you think you're going?" I asked, our faces were just centimetres apart.
"I was going to make you breakfast in bed, but you kind of stopped me." He smirked a little.
"5 more minutes, please." I said with hopefulness, and a little cheekiness in my voice. By this time, my arms were wrapped around his neck and our lips were barely one centimetre apart. We slowly leaned in for a passionate and meaningful kiss. Before we knew it, 1 kiss turned into 5 kisses, and 5 kisses turned into a heated make out session. The only thing that brought us out of our passionate moment was Isabella's whimpers.
"Stay in bed, I'll go and get Isabella." Stefan whispered against my lips, giving me a light kiss after. I did as he had asked. As I laid in bed, I watched Stefan leave to go and get our daughter. After a a few minutes, I was expecting my gorgeous fiancé to walk into the room with our beautiful, smiling daughter, but to my disappointment, they didn't. Being paranoid that something happened, I got out of bed and searched for them both. It didn't take me long to realise where they both were because I could hear Isabella from all the way upstairs. I quietly crept down the stairs, in the hope of scaring Stefan, and as I got to the last step, the smell of bacon and eggs took over my sense of smell. I followed the smell through the living room and into the kitchen. As I quietly walked into the kitchen, I saw Stefan stood by the oven with Isabella sat up the table in her high chair. I slowly crept up on him. Once I reached him, I took my arms and wrapped them around his torso, hugging him from behind. I gently pressed my face up against his back, smiling and taking in his scent.
"I thought I told you to stay in bed." He said with a sense of sarcasm in his voice. I laughed a little against his back as my arms remained wrapped around his waist.
"You did, but I didn't know where you'd gone." I replied as he turned the grill off and turned around in my arms.
"I went to make your breakfast which is what I was already planning on doing before you seduced me back into bed." He joked, making me giggle in response. Without saying anything, all I did was lean up and kiss his soft, irresistible lips.
"But you love it really." I whispered against his lips, giving him a quick kiss after.
"Who's to say I don't?" He joked back as he started to turn around and plate up the breakfast. I was told to sit down at the table and relax as he did the work. Once he had finished, he placed two plates on the table, which had my favourite breakfast items on. He also placed small pieces of what we were eating onto Isabella's high chair tray. She didn't even waste a second before digging into her food. We both smiled at her in awe as we watched her pick up her food and place it into her mouth. It's just the little things that she does that make us smile. Before I started my breakfast, I thanked Stefan.
"Thank you for my breakfast." I said smiling away as I looked up at Stefan.
"Anything for you, beautiful." He replied with the cutest smile on his face. I blushed at what he called me, my smile growing by the second.
"I was thinking that you could have Isabella's present now, then I'll give you mine when we go out later." He suggested, still with the adorable smile on his face.
"Wait, what are we doing tonight?" I questioned. Nobody said anything about tonight. All I knew was that my parents were coming over, as well as Bonnie and Caroline, and we were all just going to hang out.
"You'll just have to wait and see." He said, making me want to know more. I'm assuming Caroline and Bonnie are in on this, so I'm hoping they'll help me get ready for whatever Stefan has planned.
I was too busy in thought to realise that Stefan had placed a present, which I presumed was from Isabella, on the table. Once I had broken out of thought, I looked inside the bag to see that 'Isabella' had bought me a little collection of 'best mummy' presents. I swear I almost cried just by seeing the word 'mummy' on something and having it aimed at me. My whole life, all I've ever wanted was to get married and have kids, which is what I told Stefan when we first started to date, when we'd stay up all night just talking to one another. There were also some bath products, which I'm assuming were bought to relax me a little.
"Thank you, gorgeous." I said to Isabella as I took her out of high chair and placed her on my lap. I gently rocked her from side to side, my cheek resting on the top of her head. I looked up slightly to see Stefan smiling at the two of us.
"Thank you." I mouthed over to Stefan, watching intently as a bigger smile formed in his mouth. Even though this day has only just started, I already felt like this was going to be one of the best birthdays ever.
