~ I'm so glad that this story has been making you glad (those that have been waiting for it). It makes me glad that I posted it when I did instead of waiting to finish 'Love Changes Things'. For those of you that reviewed the first chapter... I hope you can continue reviewing all the chapters until the end of The Originals Season 1. (:
~ Sorry for the wait for this chapter, but I've been busy lately and I started a new TVD story (I have more about it at the end of the chapter).

Nicole: For the next two months, I don't know how often I'll be able to update this story... especially since I want to try and finish up Love Changes Things. Just by the first few episodes of The Originals, I know that Chelsea will be making a mark/have an important role in the first season (considering she's the main character in this story...lol). Kol won't show up that often since I'm going to have him daggered for most of the story, but he will be mentioned when I can. Rebecca is Chelsea's best friend (if you don't count Caroline) and Elijah is...I don't know. I'm going to try a Klaus/Chelsea/Elijah triangle since I'm having a Klaus/Luna/Marcel triangle with Luna once I finish her season 4 events (Love Changes Things). Since Klaus is protective of Chelsea, New Orleans won't do much to Chelsea...at least as long as he can help it.

Anna.B: It's okay with the delay reviewing since I won't be updating as often as I would like for a while. My favorite OC goes between Chelsea and Luna. I think at the moment it's more Luna... but I think once I start writing more for Chelsea again, that will change. As I'm writing more, I'm trying to make the chapters more original than the episodes when I can. With the last chapter you can tell I did, but sometimes I have to fit a lot from an episode in a chapter, which doesn't leave much room for original scenes. I think it's a more familyish based season for Chelsea (considering the other season's she's been in). She's not only pregnant, but also engaged to Klaus and see's Rebecca as the sister she never got to have (to a point). They will have a sister/close friendship relationship between the two of them. Having Kol daggered is an easy way for me to write the story without having to figure out lines for him. I think there's still a chance that they'll bring him back in the show, considering that he was there for a few seconds in the first episode. Since Klaus loves Chelsea, he will definitely treat her/react differently that he would with Haley. The next chapter is the first cross-over chapter...which you will find out later. When it comes to the Tyler/Caroline break up...I know it sort of has to happen for the show, but I don't want to write it since the relationships are different in this story. (although I will more than likely be doing that). I don't think Chelsea will find out about it until/if she sees Tyler in New Orleans. She will be semi-involved with the Silas situation... but I'm saving more of that for a new story that I've started (that I won't post for a while) that's a Stefan/OC/Silas story. When it comes to Chelsea's witch power, I think her magic is sort of like that. I know that Klaus is worried that if Chelsea uses too much magic, it might affect their unborn baby. I think that she's also worried about that, but she knows since she's part vampire, that she would heal the baby herself if anything happened. In some of the plans I have, Chelsea will have some interaction with the other people of New Orleans, even though I'm trying to keep the events along the show. There will be a bond with Sophie at first (since they're both witches) but that might change. There will be Chelsea/Elijah moments... mainly after he gets awakened (again). I'm not going to say much about future chapter because then I'd be spoiling it and I want to keep the mystery in the story (: I'm thinking about keeping Klaus at least semi-interested in Cami... which makes Chelsea jealous and maybe hang out with Elijah more... (or her first ex if he gets included). I'm thinking about the protector wolf... which might get explained in this chapter. There won't be many Elijah scenes until he comes back... unless I try to fit in a flashback or two. When it comes to Chelsea's first ex, it would make drama between Chels and the others... if I decide to bring him in this story. Some of the potential moments might show up when I get to Chelsea's birthday chapter (which will come around the first hiatus, but takes place before this story... but it's part of this story). Thanks for the review!

ENJOY!

Chelsea's POV

I was in my shower, letting the water run over me. It was calming and made me feel normal. My mind wasn't thinking that I was pregnant or engaged to one of the most powerful people on the planet. I was just thinking that the water felt nice and that I would need moments like it. Through the water, I could hear Rebecca and Klaus talk and I knew it wasn't going to stop. I let out a sigh, slowly got out the shower and wrapped a bathrobe around my body.
"I am so moved by your newfound sense of fatherly duties towards Chelsea and the hybrid bun in her oven." Rebecca said to Nik as I stood in the hall by them.
"I can hear you." I said, which made the both of them look at me. Nik's eyes scanned my body from my toes to the top of my head. "So...what's the plan?" I asked, trying to stop him from looking at me like he wanted me in bed with him.
"Well, that depends what plan you mean, love: My plan for global domination, or Rebecca's plan to find love in a cruel, cruel world." Rebecca threw a pencil towards Nik, who caught it before it got to his face. I rolled my eyes at Nik for what he said about Rebecca.
"Rebecca will find love once you allow her to be happy." I looked at Rebecca, who gave me a small smile for siding with her about it. "And don't think about global domination until you have New Orleans back." I looked back at Nik, who I could tell was impressed by what I was saying. "What I meant was the plan about getting Elijah back." Nik and Rebecca didn't say anything. "You know... the brother that you handed over to your mortal enemy Marcel. How are we getting him back?" I leaned against the wall, having a feeling that it would take a while. "So...what's the plan?"
"Okay. Well, firstly, Marcel is not my mortal enemy, he's my friend, albeit one who is unaware that I'm trying to sabotage his hold over the supernatural community of the French Quarter, but a friend nonetheless." Nik said and I realized that I was still not used to everything.
"So... frenemy? Friend and enemy..."
"I daggered Elijah in order to gain Marcel's trust." Nik said to me, obviously knowing what I was trying to say. "If I had known he would place my brother in the hands of a particularly nasty teenaged witch, I certainly would have weighed my options a bit differently. And thirdly, sister, please." I looked from Nik to Rebecca.
"And thirdly, the plan, as you have asked, is for Niklaus to simply ask Marcel for Elijah back." Rebecca said to me as Nik went back to looking all over my body.
"That sounds too easy... I mean we are talking about a vampire who can control the other witches in the quarter and learned everything he knows from him." I pointed to Nik as I continued to look at Rebecca.
"Please, Klaus may be a miserable excuse for a sibling, but there is none more diabolical." Rebecca said to me and I knew that it was true. I've known him for a little over a year, so it would be stupid of me not to know that by now.
"And that's only the Plan A, love." Nik said, which made me look towards him. "There's always a Plan B."
"And what's Plan B?" I asked, even though I really didn't want to know.
"War." He said with a smirk.
"Yay." I said with heavy sarcasm before going back into my room. I didn't want to get involved in a war or even a small fight. There was more than one person I had to think about, even though I knew no matter what I happened, I could handle myself.

I stood in front of my closet, trying to figure out what to wear when I felt his arms wrap around me. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, taking in his feel.
"Are you okay?" Nik asked before kissing my neck.
"I'm fine." I said, still keeping my eyes closed. "I just don't want a war to happen. It's not something I'd want to be a part of." Nik kept kissing my neck while moving my hands so they were resting on my sides. "I need to pick out clothes and you're distracting me." I said, almost in a whisper.
"Maybe you shouldn't be wearing this silk robe." Nik whispered in my ear. "It's distracting.." He started to move his hands slowly down my sides "...hot and..." Instead of waiting for a response, I turned around and put my hands on his cheeks.
"Stop talking." I said with a smile before pulling him close so I could kiss him. When I pulled away, he looked at me with his smirk that I grew to love. He laid his lips back on mine and I found ourselves speeding to my bed.
"I love you."
"I love you to." I kissed him.
"Let's get that robe off."
"Then I'll be the only one naked."
"That'll change." He said and I found myself giggling, which didn't happen that often. I moved so he was underneath me.
"Pregnant lady gets the top." I said with a smirk before kissing down his neck.

I put on a pink and white tank top and a pair of jeans after Nik left my room. Rebecca went into town to see who leaked that I was going to do magic in the quarter. Nik was being overprotective again and made me sit in the basement while he drained a vampire of vervain. I sat with the Ipad I had gotten as one of my birthday presents so I could distract myself.
"Niklaus, for the love of Mary Magdalene, how long does it take to ask a simple question?" Rebecca asked over the phone.
"Much longer than you'd think, considering the answer was, as expected, 'no'." Nik looked at me as he talked with his sister. "Marcel's man, Thierry, is suspicious. He thinks you killed 10 nightwalkers."
"Well, that's a lie. I only killed 8. Should I make Thierry the ninth?" Rebecca asked and I let out a sigh, which let Nik know I was listening in. I was used to Rebecca and Nik being violent, but that didn't mean I liked it.
"Marcel is playing friendly. We can't kill the favorite son, or he'll catch onto us."
"So, war it is, then."
"Indeed. Do you know what to do with the witch?" I looked up from my Ipad with some confusion, not exactly knowing what the two of them were up to. All I knew was Rebecca was going to find out who ratted me out, but there could have been things that they weren't telling me.
"I believe I do."
"Good. You manage Sophie Deveraux. I'll take care of the next step." Nik said to his sister before hanging up.
"Do I want to know?" I asked him, knowing that he might be up to something that I didn't want to know.
"Not really." He said before kissing my forehead. I just gave a small nod, but I started to think of what he was up to.

I looked back at my Ipad, but I could tell that Nik stepped up to Joshua's side. Nik told me that Josh was his inside spy with Marcel. I didn't mind too much, but I made him promise after he got New Orleans back that Josh wouldn't be under his compulsion.
"I ordered you to drain him of blood. What's taking so long?" Nik asked Josh.
"He's new to being a vampire Nik...and all vampires know how to torture like you." I said without looking.
"Sorry. I'm not, like, medieval torture expert guy." Josh said. "What did he do to you, anyway?" He asked after I knew Nik started the torture himself.
"It's not about what he did." Nik said and I knew he wasn't mentioning the fact that I was attacked by the vampire in front of them. "It's about what he's going to do when we're done here, which is whatever I want him to, just like you. For example, drive this through his torso." I looked at Josh and Nik to see Josh doing what Nik said.
"That is crazy. I didn't want to do it, but I did it anyway." He said with some amusement in his voice.
"That's compulsion." I said, before deciding to get up. "Normal vampires can compel humans while the Originals, like Klaus and his siblings can compel humans and vampires." I stepped up behind them.
"You understand.?" Nik asked. Josh nodded. "Good. That is how a brand-new nightwalker such as yourself is here doing my bidding with no one the wiser."
"But I never had my guts drained out of me."
"That's because it was before you had vervain in your system." I said to Josh, which made him look at me. "It prevents compulsion, which is why he needs to drain him..." I pointed to the vampire in front of us "...in his normal bloody way." I looked at the vampire and couldn't help but picture when Rebecca got vervain out of Damon's system. "At least he could have taken a page from his sister's book."
"And with my brother currently in captivity awaiting rescue, we can't afford to be gentle about it, can we?" Nik asked Josh before pushing the pitchfork in the vampire and twisting it.
"I'm going back upstairs." I said because I didn't want to see Nik torture. I was also hungry, but I wasn't going to say anything because I could feed myself.

After a while Rebecca came home with Sophie. I went into the same room as them before Nik joined us. He talked about his plan and I didn't like it, but I didn't say anything. Rebecca and Nik were sitting on chairs, I stood behind then while Sophie was on the couch in front of us.
"Are you out of your mind?" Sophie asked with disbelief in her voice. "No way."
"It's very simple." Rebecca said from the chair she was sitting in. "We need you to perform a teeny, tiny locator spell to help us find our brother."
"Witches who practice magic in this town get caught, and they get killed." Sophie said, which made me step closer to her, even though I stayed behind Nik's chair.
"Only the witches that practice your kind of magic." I made the curtains with my magic, which made it darker in the room. "I don't...so I can't get caught."
"Then you do it." Sophie said to me and I couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Don't you think she's tried already?" Rebecca asked before I could say anything. I could do almost anything with my magic and when I couldn't do something, it bugged me.
"Even with my advanced powers, I can't find him." I admitted, although I thought it had something to do with the witch that was around him.
"It seems you left out a crucial detail when we made our deal, Marcel's secret weapon, the way he knows when a witch is using magic." Nik said to Sophie as I put my arms around shoulders from behind him.
"Girl about yay high," Rebecca put her hand up ", cute as a button, anger issues." I could tell that Sophie was surprised and knew she must have known who Rebecca was talking about.
"Davina? Where have you seen her?" Sophie asked Rebecca.
"I don't know. The little brat erased my memory right after she threw me out a window with her bloody mind."
"And he," I leaned my head over Nik's shoulder ", won't let me go into her brain to try and get her to remember..." I knew I would be able to make her remember, but Nik was being overprotective when it came to me using certain spells.
"Let me cut to the chase." Nik said to Sophie as I continued to keep my arms around his shoulders. "Davina has Elijah. You witches, I assume, want to get Davina away from Marcel. We don't know where she is. Ergo, we need more magic than Chelsea can use."
'More like more than you'll let me use' I thought, not wanting to get in a possible argument with him.
"Davina would sense it." Sophie said to my fiance.
"Unless, of course, another witch... say, a traitor to the cause, Katie for example, was to perform much more powerful magic at the same time." Rebecca said to Sophie. "That would create a smokescreen, concealing your very small spell from Davina." It was a good idea, but Katie would die and I didn't want more witches to die.
"Katie doesn't deserve to die." Sophie said, which made Nik angry. He stood up and practically slammed his hands on the table.
"Sophie Deveraux. You're in no position to be so principled." He angrily said to her. "You can't win a war without a few strategic losses, no matter how regrettable they may be." I looked at Rebecca, who was looking at her brother and Sophie. "How many times have the vampires been one step ahead, known something they shouldn't?" I looked back at Nik and decided I didn't want to be in the room anymore. I walked out, not knowing how long it would take for Nik to notice I was gone.

I was sitting in the back yard for at least half a hour with my feet in the pool. When I was little I always wanted a pool in my backyard, at least one that you didn't have to blow up every year. It was nice to finally have a pool that you didn't have to worry about moving every year. I closed my eyes to soak in the sun before feeling him sit next to me.
"You'd think I'd be used to your anger by now." I said without looking at him.
"Maybe I can make it up to you." Nik softly suggested as he softly touched my shoulder. He slowly started to bring his hand down my arm. It made me realize that he knew exactly how and where to touch when I was in a bad mood.
"Not more sex." I said, knowing that's what he was thinking.
"What's wrong with sex love?" He asked and I found myself smirking.
"Nothing, but it can't be the answer everytime I'm in a bad mood." He continued so move his hand on my skin. I took a deep breath, trying not give into the feeling again. Nik moved closer to me, brushed some hair away from my neck and started to plant gentle kisses. "Nik..." I whispered, loving the feeling of his lips on my skin "...what did I just say?"
"I wasn't listening." He whispered and I rolled my eyes before opening them. "I was thinking about how it would be to have sex with you in the pool." I moved so I could look him in the eyes.
"No more sex today." I said, which made him give me puppy dog eyes. "No." I kissed him. He pouted, which he almost never did... unless he was really drunk. "You should pout more often, it's sexy with you." He smirked before we kissed. When we pulled apart, he cupped my face.
"Care to be my date to a party tonight?"
"I'm your fiance Nik. Do you think I'd let you go with anyone else?" He smirked. "What would I wear?"
"I already have everything picked out..."
"I'm not going naked." I said, knowing what he was thinking.
"I wouldn't let anyone else to see you naked." Nik kissed my cheek. "Rebecca helped a little with the dress."
"Can I see the dress?" He smirked and before I could tell, he was standing with me in his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck, careful not to fall off. "I love you." We kissed as he slowly carried me back into the house.

I had to convince Nik not to help me get ready for the party. If he helped me, I had a feeling that we would never leave the house. Rebecca helped me instead, which was nice because it let me feel normal. When Rebecca and I were both done, we joined Nik and went to the party.

I was in a single strapped white dress with a white mask and heels. It matched what Nik was wearing, even though he was wearing a dark suit and mask. My arm was hooked on Nik's arm while Rebecca's arm was hooked through his other arm. The three of us entered the party and I couldn't help but look around.
"Well, this certainly is a fitting backdrop for tonight's events, I must say." I didn't really pay attention to what Nik said, because I was taking in the decorations.
"It sort of reminds me of the ball last year." I said, thinking back to the ball Esther threw when she was revived. 'The last time their family was really together' I couldn't help but think before seeing someone familiar walk through the crowd. "Is that Cami?" I had talked to her a couple of times because she worked at the same place where Sophie worked.
"What's she doing here?" Nik asked Rebecca.
"What better way to distract Marcel than to put his very human, new girl in a room chock full of vampires?" She asked back before walking towards Cami.
"She wants to put her in danger just so Marcel gets occupied?" I asked, not wanting innocent people to die. Instead of saying anything, Nik just kissed me on the forehead before he slowly guided me towards his sister.
"Is he the infamous on-again/off-again?" Cami asked Rebecca, but looked towards Nik.
"Her brother and my fiance." I said, feeling weirdly possessive.
"My sister is right. You do look stunning." Nik said, because he listened in on what they said to each other.
"You three clean up pretty well yourselves." Cami said as she looked at me and Nik. I didn't say anything about Nik and Rebecca picking out what I wore.
"Well, don't be fooled, love. I'm the devil in disguise." Nik said as he held his mask up.
"You three chit-chat." Rebecca said as she looked between the three of us. "I need booze."
"Shall we?" Nik asked Cami as he held out his free arm.
"Okay." I gave Cami a small smile before the three of us walked towards a bar.

Nik offered Cami a drink, which she denied so he just got one for himself. He didn't let me have one since I was pregnant, even though I was pretty sure I would heal our baby up if anything happened.
"The guy of hers Rebecca was talking about... I'm sensing that would be Marcel." Cami said after Nik got his drink.
"I wouldn't worry about it." Nik said to Cami. "Ancient history."
"I'm beginning to think your sister is a bit of a bitch." Nik chuckled at what Cami said, but I didn't like what she said.
"It's as though she invented the term." I looked at Nik and Cami to see him almost staring at her. I elbowed him, which made him stop. "I think I owe my fiance a dance." He said before pulling me away from Cami.

After Nik lead me into the crowd, he put his mask on. I put my hands on his waist and he did the same with me.
"There's something about you in that mask..." I started to say as I looked at him.
"I was about to say the same thing about you love." Nik said and I smirked. "Is it me or were you jealous?"

"Maybe just a little." I said after a little while. "Can you blame me? My last two relationships didn't turn out the best."
"That's where we are different." Nik said as we slowly danced. "I promised you always and forever." I couldn't help but smile a little. "That's a promise I intend to keep love." He kissed me. When he pulled away, I laid my head on his chest.
"We are in the middle of New Orleans." I began to whisper. "A city that you helped build and we are together. I just want to keep it that way." He didn't say anything, but I had a feeling that he was thinking the same thing.

Nik and I danced for a while and it felt like we were a normal couple, not involved in the supernatural. It felt normal, but I knew that in our world that it wouldn't last long. All the times in my past that I started to feel normal, something bad happened. When I wanted to take a break from dancing, Nik and I stood by a bar where he ordered a drink before Rebecca joined us. The both watched Marcel and Cami dance with each other.
"You really are a hideously evil little thing, aren't you?" Nik asked his sister.
"Maybe she gets it from you." I said as I looked at Marcel and Cami. As far as I knew, Cami didn't know anything about the supernatural and that only meant that their relationship would end with Cami either dead or a vampire.
"They're perfect for each other." Rebecca said to her brother. "You wanted Marcel distracted, voilà." I noticed Diego arrive and he wasn't in anything formal, which made me think something happened. 'What was Nik planning?' I asked myself before Rebecca spoke up. "My cue to leave." Rebecca started to walk away from us.
"I should leave to." I said to Nik and I knew he wanted to keep an eye on me. "I'd rather not know what happens." I kissed him on the cheek. "I'll just be at home, waiting for you." I ended up whispering in his ear. "Don't take too long." I gave him a small smile before leaving him alone at the ball.

When I got home, I changed into a white pair of pajama pants and a light green tank top. I was looking out the window in my room when my phone rang. I couldn't help but smile when I noticed who was calling.
"Hey Caroline." I said after I answered. "How is college?"
"Chelsea... can you come back to Mystic Falls?" Caroline asked and I could tell by her voice something was wrong.
"What happened?" I asked, trying to hide that I was worried.
"It's about Bonnie."
"Is she okay?"
"She's dead." My eyes widened, not believing that she was dead. 'I did have a weird feeling from her at graduation' I couldn't help but think. "She's been dead the whole summer and we just found out from Jeremy."
"I thought he was dead." I said as I slowly sat on the edge of my bed.
"She brought him back before she died." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "We were going to have a small memorial for her and since..."
"I'll be there."I said, not giving Caroline a chance to finish her sentence. "Bonnie was my friend." Neither one of us said anything for what seemed like hours. "Thanks for telling me Care. I'll be there tomorrow." I hung up, put my phone on my bed and let out a sigh. I knew from the last time I went back to Mystic Falls, it took me and Kol almost two days, with stops to get to Mystic Falls. 'Maybe if I use my speed' I thought to myself. 'Even if Nik doesn't want me to leave, I still have to go'.

In the middle of my thoughts, I could tell that Nik stood at my doorway. I didn't say anything because I was still thinking about the fact that Bonnie had been dead the whole summer. He slowly stepped into the room and sat down next to me.
"Caroline called me." I said in a whisper. "Bonnie's dead." I felt Nik's hand gently hold mine. "I have to go back," I looked at Nik and I could tell that he didn't want me to leave ", just for a day or two. You know Bonnie was my friend."
"How will you get there?" He softly asked me, clearly knowing that I was saddened by the news of Bonnie's death.
"I'll have to run." I said. "Driving would take too long and my vampire speed would get me there before dawn." I could tell by his expression that he didn't want me to leave. "I have to go Nik. You can't come with because they don't like you or Rebecca and I know you won't let me undagger Kol... not to mention if I undaggered him, you'll just dagger him again." Nik brought his hand up to my face and wiped away some tears I didn't know I had. "I promise I'll be back before the music festival." I moved a little closer to him and kissed him. "I love you."
"I love you to." I gave him a small smile before I stood up. "But if you don't come back, I'm coming to get you."
"Don't worry, I'll come back." Nik watched as I went around my room and put a few things in my back-pack that I brought with me to New Orleans. When everything was in it, I put it on my shoulders. "I promise, I'll be back." I said to Nik before cupping his face and kissing him. He didn't say anything as I used my vampire speed to leave and head back to Mystic Falls.

~ I didn't have the scene with Sabine in it (the one when she tells the gender of the baby) because the only reason she would be in it was to have the vision about the Chel's baby. I figured since Sabine is a witch, that she would have the vision either way. That way I could go to the phone call which leads to Chelsea being in Mystic Falls for the next chapter.

~ The next chapter is going to be a crossover with TVD season 5 episode 4 For Whom The Bell Tolls. I feel that Chelsea has to be there when they have the funeral for Bonnie and that putting it before episode 4 of The Originals makes sense with the timeline. That means that Chelsea will see her brother (Dylan), his fiance (Bridget), along with Damon and the others.

~ I'm thinking about adding a twist in this story so I can make the wolves just as important as they have been in the show. I won't be mentioning the actual idea until the ending Author's note in the chapter for the episode 'Fruit Of The Poisoned Tree', but if you have any ideas... I'd love to hear them. I might put a little bit of it in the next chapter (with what Bonnie wants to say to Chels through Jer), but that depends on how many of you want it.

~ I've started another TVD fanfic called Dark Paradise. It's my first fanfic where someone is not paired with either Damon or Klaus. The story is Silas/OC/Stefan and I hope you are able to read and review it.
~ I'm also thinking about starting a Kol/OC story using my OC Samantha (who is in Becoming Reality). I might not post it until early/mid January because I want to make an ending for 'Past Temptations' and 'Masquerade'. I might also start another non-TVD/TO story sometime early 2014 (a poll is on my profile).

R&R 'till the next update
