Dangerous Minds- Epilogue

Three Years Later....

Bonnie

The years have seemed to pass by so quickly and as I stare out at the pond of the newly bought house that Stefan purchased, far away from Mystic Falls and all the haunting memories that have seemed to follow him over the years. I close my eyes and inhale deeply. From far in the distance, I can hear Damon and Stefan talking about moving boxes and where to put them.

Placing my hand onto my stomach, I feel myself getting nervous as I remind my mind to stay calm. These last few years have been hard on us all. A lot of things have changed and it all mostly happened after Stefan and Damon's father and stepmother were arrested for their crimes against Elena.

Her death changed us all too. Jillian and John decided to move closer to Stefan and the rest of us as Kol and Katherine moved further away. She and Kol married in Long Island and now live there with their daughter. As far as Stefan. He's struggled with Elena's death, not fully able to accept it. That's why I think he moved out of Virginia so quickly afterwards and went to live closer to his work in Washington D.C., a few hours outside of the city on a few acres with a quiet pond. A while after we told Addison about who Stefan was to her, she began the hard process of living with him part time. None of us were sure if things would go well. But, it became even more important for him to be a bigger part of her life after Elena passed away and they both struggled to understand. Just a little over three months ago, Stefan regained his full custodial rights as Addison's biological father and she asked to live with him.

It was the hardest on Damon to watch her leave our home and start to live with Stefan full time. That was until today, when they made it a permanent transition. I turn around, smiling as Addison excitedly pulls Damon into the house, wanting to show off her brand new bedroom. All the changes happened so quickly that it's been a whirl wind of emotions. Including this one. My mind drifts off as I place my hand onto my flat stomach and I smile. Damon doesn't know. I haven't managed to tell him yet. However, I just found out something that's going to change our lives. By a miracle and after many failed attempts at IVF treatments and crying in the office of my fertility doctor. I got the most life changing news ever this morning. I pull out my cell phone as I place the receiver to my ear and listen to the message again. "Hi, Mrs. Salvatore. This is Dr. Jefferson from the Harborview Medical Center. We've got some great news regarding your test results. Please give us a call back to discuss them further."

How do I tell my husband the news that I just received? How do I tell him that after so many heartbreaking years of being childless that now...

I'm pregnant.

"Elijah's planning on retiring and replacing my job title with his own." Damon comments to Stefan as he drops a box in front of him and I walk into the room, smiling nervously.

"Elijah wants to make you deputy director of the FBI?" I ask, my eyes widening as he nods his head and mentions that Kol was the one who made the recommendation to him before he left the Virginia office.

"That would mean that we'd be living in D.C. too?" I question as Damon smiles at me, walking over to me and putting his arm around me while he gives me a soft kiss on the cheek.

"Yup. We could be closer to Stefan and Addy that way." He informs me as I laugh a little, moving away from Damon for a moment and exhaling out a breath. I need to tell him; I need to just spit it out already!
