Nik and I just arrived back home from our date and it was so much fun after we got past the angry natives. I walk into my bedroom and place my heels in the closet before going to find my twins.

I walk into the lounge where Freya and Rebekah are with the twins. I pick up Nikolas and hold him close while Nik picks Grace up. I kiss my sons cheek softly and smile at the sisters.

Nik rocks Grace softly. Rebekah gives Nik a look at which he shakes his head to. Rebekah sighs as Hayley, Elijah, and Hope walks in. I look down at Nikolas when Elijah hands Hope to her mother.

Elijah walks up with a gentle smile. "Can I hold him?"

"Of course Lijah." I say passing my son over to Elijah. Elijah gives Nik a look before rocking Nikolas softly. Nik sighs and hands Grace over to Rebekah.

"Let's take a walk love." Nik says grabbing my hand. Elijah hands Nik something but I don't catch site of it fast enough. Nik leads me to a balcony I always sit on when I'm rocking the twins. We look out over the city that's ours. I turn to Nik with a bright smile.

"I love you Nik." I say with my arms wrapped around his neck. He smiles at me and kisses my lips.

"I love you Rose." He looks out again and looks like he's got something on his mind.

"What's wrong Nik?" I ask taking his hand in mine. He looks to me and smiles.

"Remember the first time we met?" I nod my head with a smile.

"Yeah. Mystic Falls you were being cocky and introduced yourself in spite of the gang." He chuckles and nods.

"Yeah. What about the first time you can where to New Orleans?" He asks with a twinkle in his gorgeous eyes.

"Yeah. I was jealous of Cami because I thought you two had something going on." I say with a laugh. He smiles brightly.

"I love you Rose Swan so much. And I don't know what I would do without you. You have become my best friend in such a short time and an amazing mother to our children and step mother to my daughter. I don't know what I would do without you in my life. I know me and you will live forever and I don't know how I'll be able to spend the rest of forever without you in it. You are an amazing person, aunt, and sister to all the people you meet. You have the biggest heart and the brightest smile. I know we've been dating for a while. And I've spoken to your father, your real father, and the Cullen's for their permission." I look at him with tear filled eyes when he gets down on one knee after pulling the box out that Elijah gave him. I cover my mouth with my hands while a silver tear slips down my cheek. "I love you Rose I don't think I'll ever be able to say it enough. And I want you to be my Queen of New Orleans. I was wondering if you would do me the honor of not only becoming my queen but my wife?"

I look at him with a bright smile and tear filled eyes. "Of course. Yes! Yes a million times yes!" I say when he stands up and pulls me into his arms. He places the circular engagement ring on my ring finger. I caress his face in my hands and bring his lips down on mine into a passionate kiss. His hands wrap around my waist as he kisses me back with just as much passion.

When he pulls away he kisses my forehead and the family cheers from inside the room. I smile at everyone and take Grace into my arms while Nik takes Nikolas. I smile down at my beautiful daughter and kiss her forehead.

"Welcome to the family Rose." Elijah says hugging me as best as he can without squeezing Grace.

"Im glad to be apart of the family Elijah." I say smiling.

"Always and Forever." Kol says coming to me.

"Always and Forever." We all say in unison.
