Caroline woke it to the bed empty once again, but it wasn't the same. It was 11:30 AM and the smell of pancakes filled her nose. This time the world didn't feel as if it was caving in. She didn't wake up with dread for the day. She walked downstairs and seen Damon and Elena sitting at the counter. "Good Morning!" She said with the biggest smile.

"It's not exactly morning, but good morning to you too Blondie." Damon said in his normal Damon tone as she walked into the kitchen.

She gave him a playful glare "shut up!" Then looked at Stefan flipping pancakes. "Looking good my husband!" She giggled and wrapped her arms around him.

He smiled at her and kissed her "don't listen to him, they just got up about 15 minutes ago." He plated their pancakes, and began to pour more batter.

Caroline giggled and looked over them, eating pancakes. "So where is Bonnie? And the twins?"

"Bonnie is talking to the witch, Alvina. They have been trying to figure which spell to use. Ric and the girls went to the Zoo, said he didn't want them here while they do all that." Elena answered her.

"Oh okay." Caroline wished she would have known beforehand but it's fine she thought. She stuck her finger in the batter and flung it on Stefan's face. She giggled, saying "I love you."

Stefan stopped what he had been doing when the batter hit his face. "Oh come here you!" He chuckled pulling her close, into a kiss, getting it all on her too. "I love you too Caroline." He said with a enormous smile.

She smiled back, with their faces still close and licks the batter off his top lip. "It tastes really good, good job."

"It's from a box but thanks." He said with a smile.

"Are they always this way?" Elena said before taking a bite of pancake.

"Well I haven't been home since the wedding and everything happened but before they weren't like this. Things were really trying, Stefan had just become human and being eaten alive by guilt. This is good, it's amazing actually how happy they look this morning!" Damon said watching them be overly cute.

Elena finished eating "Well I am glad he is happy and things are good. Just I still can't believe how much I missed. They weren't dating when the spell hit, they were just really close. I wake up to them married and Care had twins." She looked at him and sighed "it's just a lot..."

Damon reached up and cupped her face "I know Babe but we have the rest of our lives to figure it all out. You are here now and I am not going to let anything happen to you again." Damon smiled and leaned in to kiss her lips "I love you Elena."

Elena smiled and replied "I love you too, Damon." She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. She knew he was right, she had missed a lot but she was awake and we the people she loved. They had their whole lives ahead of them to figure it out.

    Bonnie looked up at the witch, who was flipping through her grimoire for the right spell. She was honestly still in so much shock that Damon had brought her back here and how much she reminded her of Grams. Bonnie could tell she was powerful enough to do this but still surprised she would agree. "Alvina, thank you so much for coming here." Bonnie said with a smile "But if you don't mind me asking, what made you come?"
