The next morning Camilla woke up to her eldest son cuddling into her side stirring awake. She blinks up at the ceiling a couple of times trying to wake herself up a bit more more when she hears a loud yawn.

"Morning Momma." Jace tiredly yawns while stretching out his arms, turning on his side.

"Morning baby." She softly responds turning towards her son. "I think we need to talk."

Jace huffs putting an arm over his eyes, attempting to steer her away from the conversation he knew was bound to happened. "I'm fine."

Camilla studies him for a second before pushing his arm off his eyes gently and caressing his cheek with a frown. " No you're not Jace. I know you're hurt. Niklaus wasn't there for you growing up but he didn't know."

"He would have known if he didn't cheat on you. Hope would've been here with us and we would've been happy. He would've been there." He croaks out, beginning to get teary eyed again just thinking about it.

"I need you to listen to me very carefully okay?" Camilla whispers after kissing his forehead in a comforting manner.

Jace nods hesitantly not sure where this was going.

"What happened between me and your dad is between us. Yes it hurt me when he cheated. Yes, maybe Hope could've been with us this whole time if he hadn't cheated. But he didn't know about you and that's my fault. Okay? It was never that you weren't good enough, or he didn't want you. He loves you. He just didn't know." She says softly yet sternly. "I know you need a bit to think and calm yourself down but afterwards I want you to talk to him okay? You'll regret it later in life if you don't."

Jace looks at his mom with doubt and uncertainty. It was embarrassing enough that he had a mental breakdown in front of everyone he knew, but now his mom wanted him to talk to the one person he wanted to talk to the least. Camilla notices his hesitation and comments slightly more forcefully. "Okay?"

He nods sighing and sits up. "Sorry if I made Stefan sleep in another room."

Camilla laughs genuinely, "oh honey, if he wants to be apart of this family he's going to have to get used to it. Don't ever hesitate to climb into my bed, I'll always be your mom first."

Later on Camilla was sitting in her office with Stefan laughing over something he had said.

"You know we still need to talk." Stefan says after settling down. Camilla sighs softly feeling his intense stare.

"You died. You sacrificed yourself so I would live a free life and mystic falls wouldn't be destroyed." Camilla whispers staring out of the window suddenly lost in thought, all of the painful memories tugging at her heart again.

"I won't ever force you to do anything Camilla. You know that." He says softly walking over to kneel next to her and taking her hands into his. "I just need to know if you still want to be with me, I know it's been years and you've moved on with yo-"

He's cut off by Camilla's loud laughter filling the room. His brows furrow in confusion and worry. He's confessing that he still loves her and she's laughing. What was funny?

"Stefa-" she cant even finish because she's laughing so hard. She suddenly stops when she sees his confusion and slightly hurt facial expression and calms herself down a bit. "Stefan of course I want to be with you. Like I said on that last voicemail. I will always love you, forever."

A smile breaks out onto Stefans face as he lurches forward bringing cami into his arms spinning her around and bringing her into a passionate kiss. "I love you so much." He says in between kisses.

"I love you, forever." She whispers gazing into his life with admiration and love. "But I have to warn you now, I come with some baggage." She teases lightly.

"Oh you mean like back aches from the guest bedrooms." He teases rubbing his nose over hers gently with a loud laugh.

"Mmhh." She hums nodding seriously, kissing him again she breaks apart abruptly much to stefans displeasure. "Oh my god!" She exclaims as something pops into her head.

"What?" Stefan says confused on her sudden outburst.

"Do you think Damon and Elena are staying longer?" She says in thought.

Stefans eyebrows furrow in slight confusion. Where did Elena and Damon come up? "uhm I don't know. They came because they thought you were dying, but you're obviously alive and so am I." He shrugs as clueless on the subject as she was. Though he was a little curious.

"Let's go ask!" She exclaims happily grabbing Stefans hand and rushing out of the room.

Camilla hurriedly walks out of her office, dragging Stefan along out into the private room reserved for family where they find Kol and Damon once again arguing while everyone else watches like normal. It had become a very regular occurrence, but Camilla was almost positive that they'd become good friends one day.

Noticing his brother and sister in law's presence Damon shoots up out of his seat throwing his arms in the air. "Finally! Now you can.." Damon is interrupted by Cami as she holds her hand up and turns towards Elena, not giving Damon's conversation a second thought.

"Are you guys staying... permanently?" Cami asks with a beaming smile that makes everyone cringe slightly. Everyone looks towards Elena and watch as her grin falters. She tries to resist the Forbes big doe eyes, no one could ever really say no to Camilla Forbes if we're being honest.

"Umm..." she stutters looking towards Damon who has wide eyes. He shakes his head at her subtly, telling her not to put this on him. But she quickly points towards Damon, "Actually Damon wanted to talk to you about that!"

Damon glares at her but quickly puts a tight smile on when Camilla looks towards his direction with a look of excitement. "Of course princess, anything for you!"

Elena's eyes widen when she hears his response but she nods over enthusiastically trying to make it believable for the small Blonde. "y-yeah yeah for sure, we're staying here!"

"Perfect!" Camilla claps her hands while jumping a bit as Stefan smiles as he practically sees the wheels moving in his oblivious wife's head. It was quite humorous to watch his elder brother who used to be so cold hearted not be able to resist the Forbes doe eyes.

"We can have a guest house built in the far woods that no one ever goes into, oh! It could be a huge house that you guys could move into and it'll be amazing. It'll be just like old times! You know because I'm sure you don't want to stay here, but we did have more floors built in and my rooms on the family floor which means no students stay there and we have so many open rooms that you could move into." She rambles while Damon and Elena look like deer in headlights.

Moving back to mystic falls was a big deal already but they both ultimately knew all of their friends were back in one place and alive and they were bound to come back anyways, but they were thinking of moving into their own home away from the school where they could have privacy, seeing as their home was now a school for a bunch of super natural kids.

Stefan seeing the looks on their faces, grabs his wife's attention by trying to change the topic.

"Hey.. hey.." he laughs softly along with everyone else wrapping his arms around her waist. "Why don't we let them think about it first."

"I don't know what there is to think about." She shrugs innocently . "But okay."

Stefan leads her out of the room, when they're out of hearing distance all that's heard is Kol's booming laugh through out the room.
