The Fight (Stefonnie)

Chapter 10

Stefan held Olivia up so she could put the star on top of the Christmas tree. He couldn't remember the last time he had a child do such a thing, decorating his tree was something that he got used to doing alone, but now he has Bonnie and their little girl. This Christmas was going to be special and he personally couldn't wait.

He could picture the excitement of Olivia seeing her presents under the tree then tearing the wrapping paper off each one. He may have gone a little overboard with the amount of gifts he got her, but he knows this won't be the last time he does such a thing.

"What do you think, Liv?"

"I love it!"

He smiled, "Me too. Mommy should be back any minute."

He lifted her from the ground then took her over to the couch swinging her legs over his as her head rested on his chest. Olivia looked up at him with her infamous sleepy, wide, brown eyes and he kissed her forehead pulling away to see that those eyes of hers have closed.

-------

She was only supposed to be buying things for the Christmas dinner, but she had to get Stefan a gift. Buying for Olivia was a breeze, but she had a hard time choosing the perfect gift for Stefan. He told her that all that he wanted was to spend Christmas with herself and Olivia, but she doesn't want him to have no presents under the tree. He's giving her a bike, the least she could do is buy him something.

"Hey, Bonnie,"

Her eyes widened. "Oh. Vince,"

"Listen. I'm sorry. I don't know what got into me and I truly regret it. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

She ghostly smiled. "I forgive you."

He let out a breath then hesitated. "Is it okay if I hug you?"

She chuckled, "Sure,"

They stepped a half a step meeting in an embrace. "You won't tell Stefan, would you?"

"Uh, no, no I won't tell."

"Thank you," he pulled away. "I have to go, but I guess I'll see you for Christmas?"

"Yeah, sure."

She watched him walk away leaving her standing there conflicted.

-------

Bonnie walked in heading straight for the living room then stopped to smile at the two taking a nap on the couch. She quickly pulled out her phone to take a picture of the two then walked over to them just as Stefan was opening his eyes.

"Hey, babe."

They kissed. "Hey," they kissed again. "Sorry I took so long."

"It's fine, did you get everything?"

"Yep. I'm so nervous to be making Christmas dinner, it's like the dinner of all dinners."

He chuckled. "You'll do great, and I'll help out if you want me to."

"Thanks,"

He stands and Bonnie follows him to put Olivia in her bed then they head to his room and lay together. Stefan moves in closer bringing an arm around her before kissing her over a few times. "I love you." He told her against her lips then they kissed some more.

"I want you to brace yourself for a second."

"Why?"

"I took a pregnancy test earlier."

He blinked. "O-oh,"

"I'm not pregnant, thankfully. I can't imagine how things would be if I was."
