Lock And Key (Stefonnie)

Chapter 13

Bonnie woke up to a mini Christmas tree on the corner of the mint wall with presents underneath. She looked around but spotted no one and found it pretty strange since someone is always there whenever she seems to wake up. She was going to lay back down when the door opened and in ran Thomas with Stefan telling him to slow down because "you can wake up mommy", but when he walked in he saw that she was already up.

"You're up early." He greeted with a kiss.

"Am I?"

"You usually wake up around ten and it's eight."

"Well it's Christmas it's tradition."

Stefan smiled and sat his coffee in the beside table.

"Can we open presents now?" Thomas asked pulling on his fathers sleeve.

Stefan looked over at Bonnie who nodded and he turned to his son to nod as well. Thomas' face lit up and went to retrieve his first present. Ripping the wrapping paper open Thomas was excited about each gift that he had received and made sure to thank his parents after they were all opened.

Stefan reached in the bag on the floor and pulled out a box handing it to Bonnie as Thomas was playing with his new truck.

"Is it a necklace?"

"Damn, how'd you know?"

"Cause I'm-" Bonnie gasped as she opened the box and spotted the ring. "Bonnie Bennett and I know everything." She finished with a whisper.

Stefan smiled and took the ring out the box carefully switching the old for the new.

"I want us to have a fresh start and I figured a fresh start needed a new ring."

Bonnie had tears lining her eyes as she looked down at the ring and over to Stefan. He leaned in and kissed her only to pull away when Thomas expressed his disgust. They laughed but Stefan quickly kissed her again before standing up to clean up the wallpaper that looked like a pile of leaves on the floor.

"What's the plan for you guys later?" Bonnie asked.

"Chillin," Stefan shrugged, "with you."

"Did Damon cancel dinner? I was hoping you bring me back a plate."

Stefan chuckled. "He didn't cancel it per-say..."

"Then why aren't you going?"

"Because you're here and I want to spend my Christmas with you...and Thomas."

Bonnie stretched out her good arm and Stefan walked over to her placing his hand at the side of her face making sure to not apply too much pressure. Bonnie hugged his neck and kissed his head.

"But it's boring here."

"We'll make it fun."

"I want you to go and have fun."

"I ain't going anywhere. I'm having fun with you."

Bonnie smiled and released him from her hold and pressed a kiss to his lips.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

They shared one more kiss then the door opened in walking in Caroline, Elena, Bella and Damon.

"Merry Christmas!" Caroline said smiling.

"Merry Christmas,"

"Merry Christmas, Elena."

She smiled and knelt down. "Merry Christmas Tom."

He walked a little closer to hug her and Bonnie looked over at Stefan who could only shake his head.
