So sorry for not updating sooner! I was really busy! School starts tomorrow but I promise I will try to update faster!
Becca POV
I wiped my hands on the skirt of my dress nervously, trying to get rid of the sweat on my palms. Today I was meeting Nina's parents, my adoptive grandparents, and then I was going to Ian's and meeting Nikki officially. I wanted Nina's parents to like me, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to be civil around Nikki.
After everything I've heard about her, and after catching her sleeping with my dad, I just didn't know how I would react to her. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time, and smiled. At least I looked pretty.
I was wearing a white lace dress, not unlike the one my mom wore in the episode of The Vampire Diaries where Elena tells Damon that she's in love with him without the sire bond. I also had my hair slightly curled and placed half up and half down. I was wearing a pair of white converse, and a necklace my dad gave me a few weeks ago. The pendant was a set of angel wings, and I thought it was beautiful.
I went downstairs, and saw mom wearing a black dress and black heels. Her hair was curled and she had light make up on. We left the house and got into the car. We were meeting my new grandparents at their house for my grandmother's birthday.
"Are you nervous?" My mom asked.
"A little… but I'm also excited. I want to make a good impression."
"Just be yourself, and you will, Honey."
I smiled and nodded, feeling calmer already.
We finally arrived, and I smiled at my mom, getting out of the car. I took the birthday present I had bought my grandmother out of the back seat, and prayed she'd like it – and me.
We rang the doorbell, and waited. After what felt like hours, but was most likely only seconds, the door opened, and I was met with two people who were obviously my new grandparents.
"Is this her?" My grandfather asked my mom. She nodded and both he and my grandmother hugged me.
"Welcome to the family, Rebecca Catalina Dobreva Somerhalder."
"Thank you…" I smiled shyly, and gave my grandmother her birthday present. "Happy birthday."
She beamed at me, and hugged Nina quickly before leading us both to what I assumed was the living room. She cleared her throat, and the crowd in the room went silent, looking at us.
"Everyone, this is my new granddaughter, Rebecca Catalina Dobreva Somerhalder. My lovely daughter Nina adopted her about a month ago."
I was introduced to everyone, and I quickly became close to my uncle, Alex. We spent the whole evening joking around and telling stories. By the end, it was like they had been my family for my whole life.
Eventually, we had to leave, and after saying goodbye to everyone, my mom drove me to my dad's. He greeted me at the door with a big hug that lifted me off of the ground. He set me down and looked at my outfit. "You look beautiful. How was your grandmother's?"
I smiled. "It was really fun! I think Grandma and Grandpa really like me."
"Well how could they not, Angel?"
I shrugged and giggled. I hugged my mom goodbye and went inside and upstairs to change into sweatpants and a t shirt, because we were having a movie night at my dad's with Nikki.
I got back downstairs to see Nikki smiling very fakely at me. "Hi! You must be Rebecca! I'm Nikki!"
She spoke with this weird lilt to her voice, like she was trying to be bubbly or something. "It's just Becca, but it's nice to meet you, Nikki." I forced out, managing to smile politely.
My dad grinned and sat down on the couch, curling me into his side. I put my head on his shoulder, leaving Nikki to the whole other end of the couch. I saw her hide a glare at this, but then sit down. My dad decided we'd just watch a movie marathon on the TV, so we started off with The Avengers.
Half way through the fifth movie, The Fantastic Four, Nikki was asleep, and dad and I were eating popcorn and giggling at every little thing.
After the seventh movie, Dad decided we should go to bed, because we had work tomorrow. I agreed, and headed up to my bedroom. I brushed my teeth and said goodnight to my dad, before crawling into bed and falling asleep.

Seraphina and Klaus sat on the couch, looking at Damon, Stefan, Elena, Caroline, Bonnie and Kai with matching smirks on their faces.
"So… let me get this straight. Your mother was a powerful witch, and Kai's mother, making you his half-sister. As his sister, you let him cyphen away some of your magic until he was sent to the prison world, making you nearly lose control of yourself. You accidentally killed someone, and you turned into a werewolf. Then, you were found by Klaus, your birth father, who took care of you for two years before you went back to your family's house. That means you're related to not one, but two psychopaths?" Damon asked snarkily.
Sera nodded. "Yup, that sums it up."
"Huh…." Elena said, shocked.
Sera laughed and shrugged. "What can I say? I come from a long line of crazy people."
Everyone but Klaus and Kai looked a little afraid at Sera's words, and she simply ignored them. She left her father's side and wandered outside. Being the teenager that she is, Sera started conjuring up colourful butterflies and smiling. There were blue, orange, pink, green, red and purple ones floating around her. She giggled at them and then looked back at the house. "Do you like them?"
It reminded everyone in that moment, that even though Seraphina had clearly been through a lot, and even though she was related to Klaus and Kai, she was still very innocent sometimes. It made them all smile. Maybe having a younger teen around wouldn't be so bad after all.
