A/N: I'm a Gia fan and loved the interaction between Elijah and her in this last ep of TO. I've had a lot of ideas running through my mind for them and other characters too. So now this is the aftermath. Happy reading.

It Was Your Candor

In the not so distant past

Gia held her lover as he slumbered in and out of conscientiousness. He was always so serious. Never taking a break from protecting his family, but tonight Elijah was different with her. She offered him solace and he didn't hesitate to give in return.

No promises for tomorrow.

No declarations.

He was all hers and she all his, no strings attached.

Elijah felt her lift her legs to bring him closer to where she needed him and he didn't stop her. They both knew their time was coming to an end, but not before he saw Gia in all her natural bliss. He flipped them over so that she had the control. Her smile alone did something to him. Her dark eyes held his as he watched her touch herself above him, but he could wait no longer. His hips surged upward and Gia met his hardened length with her hot aching core.

She was blinding. He was blinding. If this was to be the only time they would feel such unrelenting rapture then they would drown in its depths tonight.

Present Day NOLA

When Gia got the call to return to New Orleans it wasn't from who she expected. She had never met the eldest Mikaelson, but Freya had heard of her from Josephine La Rue. Her message was cryptic to say the least, but she was definitely curious as to what the two women were up to. It was passed midnight when she arrived at the backdoor of Madame La Rue's home and the same butler who had showed her and Elijah in months ago did the same for her again. She smiled at him and he actually greeted her politely directing her to follow him. They didn't go into the front room like before instead he motioned for her to go upstairs.

At the top of the stairs was a huge library. The shutters were drawn and a fire burned on the left side away from the books that lined the right. Josephine was there along with Freya and Davina Claire.

"Now I'm really curious to know what is going on." Davina approached her first.

"I know we don't really know one another, but what I do know is you are different Gia and I need your help." Freya was next to speak.

"We haven't officially met. I'm Freya as you know. Thank you for answering my call and returning in such a timely manner."

"Nice to meet you too. You definitely peaked my interest. I just don't get what I can do for you?"

"You know my family's history with my aunt Dalia correct?" Gia nodded and she continued.

"Well my brother Niklaus' daughter isn't the only Mikaelson child needing protection." Gia still didn't get where she would fit in, but she was starting to put two and two together. She turned to look at Davina and it clicked.

"You and Kol? You're prego with Kol's baby?" Davina was almost in tears.

"What's wrong?" Gia looked at all three for an answer.

"Davina and Kol's child will be purebred witch-born. The beginning of a legacy. Already the unborn child has demonstrated power from the womb. Dalia failed in her psionic attack on Davina because she was shielded." Josephine beamed with pride as she explained.

"I'm sure it was my baby protecting us because I was weakening quickly. The next thing I know I'm here resting." Davina jumped in to confirm.

"So you asked me to come back to be a bodyguard?" Freya stepped up again.

"Gia your potential expands beyond reality. Your freedom from prejudice or malice shines through the darkness of being a vampire. That fairness and kindness warrants a prize only you deserve if you want it."

"You won't be beholden to me, or Freya or even Davina and the child. Your instinct alone will guide you where you need to be."

"I've never needed your help as I do now Gia. Please stand with me?" All she did was stare at all three ladies. Her mind was made up when she decided to return to NOLA.

"What is it you are offering?" Freya smiled in relief. Josephine smiled in triumph. She knew Gia would not fail them. Davina hugged her crying tears of joy.

"You will be blessed with true immortality. No force supernatural or otherwise will defeat you. You will have the strength of an Original. You are the first and last of your kind, Sentinel." Their words were a chant and Gia found herself on her knees. Davina touched her face and when she looked into her eyes she saw the purebred child. It was his light that illuminated within her. Encasing her dead heart in metal so no stake could penetrate. His blood now ran through her veins. She was an extension of his essence. She felt the powerful difference of who she was now. They called her Sentinel and that's what she would be for eternity.
