So I am starting a new story, I know I have a few but with Originals ending.I got this cool idea. What if there was something going on between Elijah and Katherine. What if they had been married and had a child together. I kind of pictured her being a bit wild like her mom and a bit of a daddy's girl. I'm starting it towards the end of Season two of the vampire diaries.
Their daughter, Reagan Grace is 17 years old and half human, half vampire. Her features are like her mother's but with Elijah's hair and eye color. She is struggling to be a normal teenager with a supernatural family.
Prologue
Katherine smiled as she watched her four year old daughter run around the garden of the ancient estate in the countryside in England. She remembered doing the same with the man who was chasing her, smiling at the memory.
Suddenly, he was behind, pulling her close as a shocked gasp left her mouth. The small child laughed gleefully at the sight of her being caught off guard.
"I caught you." Elijah whispered into her ear, making her smile. "Yes you did." She smiled, kissing him.
"Mommy...you weren't supposed to let him get you." Reagan giggled as she bent to lift her up. "But if I wanted to be caught, so I can get you now." Katherine replied, tickling her.
The child's laughter filled the garden. Elijah smiled softly as he watched them. He loved his wife and daughter and would do anything to keep them happy.
When they got to the large house on the property, Reagan had fallen asleep on her father's shoulder. Katherine smiled as she took his free hand as they walked into house as the autumn sun set behind them.
NOW…
Reagan sighed as she watched the movers unloading the last of the boxes into her new house. She felt the looming presence of her father behind her.
"Why did we have to leave New York...I liked it there. I was finally making friends." Reagan asked, making him sigh. "I know and I am sorry we moved so suddenly. I promise that this is going to be the last time for a while. I want you to finish high school and experience everything that goes with it." Elijah told her, making her smile. "When is mom going to be home?" She asked, making him sigh. "Soon, very soon." Elijah told her.
They walked into the new house where Elijah showed her new bedroom. Her eyes grew huge when she saw how big it was compared to her old one. She smiled brightly as he helped her move her boxes into the room.
"This would be an amazing place to put a canopy." She said, making him chuckle, "Or fairy lights." "Well, if you look over there, you'll find somewhere else to put those. Your new bed will be here soon." Elijah replied, opening the door to the small room.
Reagan walked into see the hidden book nook in the room. Her eyes smiled as she looked around. All her books and music would fit in the room. She could put sheer cloth and fairy lights up to decorate it and make it more like her.
"That is perfect...I think my cds may take up more room than my books." Reagan laughed. "Well, when we unpack, we'll find out." He told her.
The movers brought in her new bedroom suite and things to with it. Reagan started to unpack her clothes and shoes. Elijah carried in the safe that held all her special jewelry and set it up on the shelf in the space for it. Her eyes smiled when she saw the huge tub.
"It has jets." She grinned. "Katerina figured you would like that." Elijah smiled.
"Figured she would like what?" A new voice asked, making them look up.
They saw Katherine standing there with a smile on her face as she looked at the room. It was perfect for their daughter, bright and happy. She stepped into the room as Elijah set the box down. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her. He had been worried when she didn't call him.
"I missed you." He said, as she set her head on his shoulder. "Sorry I was gone so long...I had to make them believe it." Katherine replied as he held her. "I know...Reagan spent the last month at Niklaus' loft. He found out had been daggered." Elijah told her.
"Yeah...he isn't too happy...he wants to know how they got it." Reagan said, as he released her. "I bet so...missed you bug." Katherine told her. "Missed you too mama...Uncle Nik said to tell you both he was coming this week...and that it would be where we least expect." Reagan told them. "Great...I have a feeling I know how...Alaric has been a bit strange lately, trouble in paradise." She said, making him nod.
"Wonderful...let's get her room finished and we'll handle dinner." Elijah said, "You have school in the morning." "You mean I can actually wear what I want to and not a uniform?" Reagan retorted, making Katherine laugh. "Very funny, and yes. Also, your car will be brought down later in the week." Elijah told her. "Yay!" Reagan cheered, as she started to unpack her cds and books.
By the end of the day, her room was finally done being unpacked. She decided to sit in her nook, listening to her music when Katherine came up to tell her it was dinner time. Her gold eyes smiled when she found her daughter, reading another book.
"Like it?" She asked, sitting on the edge of the cushion. "Yes...maybe living here won't be so bad. It's kind of nice not hearing all the noises of the city." Reagan told her. "It is, we wanted to move you somewhere you might fit in. You know this is where your father was born?" Katherine asked. "He mentioned it, but it's changed a lot in a thousand years." She replied. "Yes it has, now come on." The elder Petrova smiled.
The left the room and headed downstairs where Elijah was pulling the pizza from the oven. His eyes smiled at his wife and daughter as they came into the room. He already knew where she was.
"Reading?" He asked, making them smile. "Yes, the same one for the twentieth time." Katherine smirked, as Reagan rolled her eyes.
"Not the twentieth, it was the tenth time." Reagan replied, making him chuckle. "Well, you can read about Mr. Darcy at another time. It's supper time." Elijah smiled. "Okay." She said, as she reached for plates.
Dinner was quiet as they talked about her starting classes the next morning. Elijah also told her of the school dance that was coming up.
"So, the doppelganger of mom is the one Uncle Nik wants dead?" She asked. "Yes...we have a feeling he is already here in spirit. I want you to tell me you figure out where he is and call me." Elijah told her. "Okay...do I have to go to the dance?" She asked.
"What, it is your one time to dress like a Bond girl." Katherine told her, making her daughter look at her. "But mom!" Reagan said. "It will be fun, I'll even do your hair." Katherine told her. "Oh man." She said, making her father chuckle.
The next day, Reagan woke early to start getting ready for school. She chose a cute dark blue lace top with a matching undershirt, skinny jeans and dark blue suede pumps. Her curls were not behaving so she pulled them into a cute messy bun on the nape of her neck with strands loose around her face. Her makeup was in the same shade of blue and light pink lips.
Katherine came in to check on her as she packed her bag for school. She smiled when she saw her grab the bold fleur de lis locket from the jewelry box on her dresser. She was amazed to see how much she had grown up in the last few years.
"Morning mama." Reagan smiled, looking at her. "Morning baby, cute outfit." She replied. "Thanks, where is daddy?" She asked. "Getting your car, he left early this morning." Katherine told her. "Okay, am I to take your car?" She asked. "I'll drop you, I have some shopping to do today." Katherine told her. "Wedding anniversary coming up?" Reagan smirked. "Yeah, I have no clue what to get your father either." Katherine sighed. "You'll think of it." Reagan replied.
She followed her mom downstairs to grab a bagel and coffee before they left. Reagan was starting to miss the city. It was easier to get food on the way to work and school.
"I miss the city...breakfast was so much easier to get." Reagan sighed. "That I can agree with." Katherine smiled.
They grabbed their jackets and walked out of the house. Katherine had to sign some paperwork for her to start classes. Reagan felt a little nervous, realizing she was the new girl.
Meanwhile, a group of students sat in a classroom, talking. They had heard a rumor that the one person they thought was running was back.
"Who told you Katherine is back?" A boy asked. "I saw her, she was at a really nice house that was just built in town." The blonde replied. "The one down the street from your house?" The other asked. "Yeah, and I swear I saw Elijah there too, with a girl our age." She told them.
"...That is impossible...he doesn't even like her." Another boy said. "Stefan, she looked just like him, same hair and eye color. She looked like his daughter." Caroline said, making them all look nervous.
"Why would he lie about not liking Katherine?" Elena frowned. "Uh, to protect this girl...she must be the new girl in the office this morning...she definitely looks like Elijah...a mini version." Bonnie said as their teacher came in.
They all had noticed he was a little off. Then the new girl walked in, making him smirk. He told her to sit anywhere so she sat just behind Stefan, taking out her notepad.
"So, where are you from, sweetheart?" Alaric asked, making her look up. "Uh, New York City, my dad grew up here." Reagan replied, making him smirk.
At the end of class, he called her over to him. The others noticed he was off as they left class. Stefan listened outside the door as he talked.
"Are you surprised, love?" He grinned, making her gasp. "That is what you meant…" She breathed. "Yes, tell your dad that I said hello...I'll be here later this week." He smirked.
Reagan walked outside to where her mom was waiting. Beside her was Elijah. They both saw the look on her face as she got in back.
"How was school?" Katherine asked. "He's here...in my teacher's body." Reagan replied, making Elijah frown as Alaric walked to his car, waving at them.
"His favorite thing to do." Elijah sighed. "He said he'll see you soon...do I have to go to the dance now?" She asked, sounding unsure. "No...In fact, I'd rather you not be at school that day...you and Katerina can to the spa that day." Elijah said, not wanting his daughter to be around her uncle that day.
Later that night, Katherine had gone out to mess with Damon for a bit, hoping to see if they had figured out what that Reagan was her daughter. She returned to see both Reagan and Elijah sitting at the piano. Her daughter sat on the top of the piano, singing along with him to the song he was playing. Both looked relaxed, content to ignore the world. Elijah looked up and smiled as she came closer.
"Hello beloved." He smiled, making Reagan look up. "My heart, well, they are suspicious...they have noticed that she looks like you." Katherine said. "I see, let them. We'll just have to watch what Damon does." Elijah said as Reagan hopped down and around to sit beside him on the bench.
Not long afterwards, the family of three went to bed and settled down. Elijah and Katherine both knew they could not keep their daughter hidden forever. They could only hope she would not be forced to pay for their sins of the past.
I hope that everyone likes the first part of this story. I wanted to start towards the end of the season because of her relationship with her uncle. Klaus and Reagan are close and she has been kept away from her family's dark past. Please remember to review and tell me what you think.
