Chapter Six: Family Reunion

Bulgaria, 1950

Lucy looked at the graves in front of her and she couldn't believe that her dear mother had finally taken her to see her deceased grandparents graves and of her younger aunt. Her mother often spoke of her mother and the games that she and her younger sister used to play, but she would rarely mentioned anyone else, and especially not her grandfather.

The graves weren't fancy, just a simple headstone with their name in Bulgarian printed on them. Lucy wished that her Bulgarian was better. Though she knew that today was her grandmother's birthday and Katherine had allowed her to tag along.

Katherine refused to cry in front of Lucy even though she had just turned fifteen. She placed a small bouquet of daisies in front of her mother's grave and stood up. "Let's go."

"Kol, Rebekah, I mean it," Elijah growled as he stopped the car in front of the house. "Don't bombard Lucy and her mother with questions and try to act normal for God's sakes. I'm already walking on a fine line as it is."

Kol rolled his eyes. "Elijah, we're not five years old. We know how to act around your daughter and your dirty mistress."

Rebekah was fixing her lipstick, but said with disgust. "I still can't believe that you slept with Katherine of all people and back in 1492. No wonder Klaus was out to get you. So how is my little niece? She's not slutty like her mom is she?"

"Rebekah!" Elijah scolded. "And she is a perfectly lovely girl. And might I remind you that Lucy loves her mother and Katherine is a good mother."

Rebekah raised an eyebrow. "And so good that she hid a child from you for 500 years."

Elijah kept his mouth shut and went towards the house, he knocked on the door and Katherine opened the door. She frowned when she saw Kol and Rebekah. "Elijah!" she hissed. "You could have called and given me a little warning."

"Would you have said yes?" Elijah asked calmly.

"I-"

"I thought so." Elijah stepped forward with Rebekah and Kol following behind him. Both Rebekah and Kol stepped forward as if they were entering their own house. "Lucy!"

Lucy stepped forwards, she was dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. "Dad," she had recently began to call him dad because he would look as if someone had died if she didn't. "Who are they-"

"Lucy," Kol stepped forward as he kissed her hand. "I'm your uncle, Kol on second thought call me Kol. I'm too hot to be an uncle. Has anyone ever told you have the best veins I have seen in decades, pumping blood all-"

"Ignore him." Rebekah pushed him away. "I'm your Aunt Rebekah, the youngest and I thank God that I'm not the only Mikaelson female in the family."

"Pierce," Katherine stepped forward looking annoyed. "Her last name is Pierce. Not Mikaelson."

Lucy smiled. "Hi, I'm Lucy, Aunt Rebekah and uh, Kol."

Rebekah looked around the house as if looking for things to criticize, now Katherine knew why she despised Rebekah so much. The two girls had never really liked each other. "Lucy, grab your bag we're going to get a manicure, my nails are horrible."

"Can I come?" Kol piped up. "There's always really hot girls at manicure places. At least that's what they claim in those TV shows. I love the 21st century."

"No," Rebekah barked. "It's just for aunt and niece."

"Elijah!" Katherine snapped.

Rebekah narrowed her eyes. "What is it, Katerina? You don't really opposed to the idea of Lucy and I sharing some family time since you never mentioned her, do you?"

"Mom, it's not a big deal," Lucy would be lying if she said she wasn't the least bit curious. "I'll be fine."

"Fine," she narrowed her eyes at Rebekah. "No funny business, because she's my daughter before she's your niece."

"Noted."

Rebekah was a bad drive and Rebekah defended herself by saying that she had been stuck in a coffin for 90 years thanks to her asshole of a brother named Niklaus and that the little driving that she had learned was because of the internet.

Rebekah chatted easily as if she had known Lucy all her life instead of meeting her just an hour ago and that relaxed her, Lucy thought that Rebekah was pretty cool. They went to a small, exclusive salon and Lucy stood back as Rebekah barked orders. Apparently, she had learned a lot of information on her I-phone on the way back, more than Lucy knew anyhow.

"Elijah told me about your curse," Rebekah said sympathetically. "I'm sorry, believe me I know how horrible it is to sleep and wake up and find that the entire earth move on while you were down under. Elijah told me that Katherine had been trying to revise it for the past 500 years, but that she has been unsuccessful."

Lucy nodded as she gave a shaky laugh. "I kind of gave up hope years ago though."

"You shouldn't," Rebekah told her as she touched up her lipstick. "You're a Mikaelson, you're not afraid of anything and we'll figure it out. Now let's stick to a not so gloomy subject. Elijah told me that you were in your senior year. Any cute boys?"

Lucy blushed. "Some, actually I haven't even told my mom about this, but there is a cute boy in my class. His name is Ethan."

"Lovely," Rebekah loved all talks about love. "And are you planning on making your move anytime soon?"

Lucy stammered. "I'm actually really bad at the whole flirting thing. I suck at it actually."

Rebekah snorted, "Please you're the daughter of Elijah and Katherine and Elijah has class and is an excellent flirt. All Mikaelson are." She relaxed against her chair. "Next time you talk to this Ethan fellow just give him that wonderful, knowing smile, arched your back, and give him a wonderful little phrase like, your eyes matched that sweater beautifully or that you know a trendy, little club that you know off."

"Does that actually work?"

"Absolutely, just don't be too clingy or obvious. Desperation is sad."

After manicures, they went to do a little shopping and Rebekah stopped the car I front of the house. "Lucy, I know that we barely met and all and that your mother doesn't trust me, but I am your aunt and you can count on me for everything. We girls have got to stick together."

"Thanks," Lucy said feeling warmth in her chest, she loved her mother, but it was nice that she had another female relative that she could look up to. "Do you want to come inside?"

"Your mother will probably won't like that, she doesn't like me very much. And I need to get um, a little refill." She said motioning towards her blood need. Lucy nodded as she kissed her aunt on the cheek.

Lucy went up the stairs and closed the door. "Mom? Dad?" Lucy looked in the kitchen and living room, but her parents were not there. There was only weird Uncle Kol smoking cigars in the backyard. There was some blood on the porch and she just hope that it wasn't the neighbor's cat.

"Mom?" she called again. She wanted to show her the new necklace that Rebekah had gotten her. Or compelled for her, Aunt Rebekah had even reluctantly gotten Katherine a diamond bracelet since she was technically family.

She must be up in her room, Katherine usually went to bed listening to her I pod and drinking a glass of wine. There was a small amount of light coming from the bedroom door and she pulled it open. "Mom-"

There was some shrieking coming from both sides as she closed her eyes and she briefly saw Elijah rustling towards his pants. She couldn't believe what she had had just seen, her parents having sex. Her kind of divorced-though never-really-married-and-both-old-but still hot parents having sex. She just wanted to curl up into a ball and die of embarrassment.

Katherine cleared her throat she put on her bra. "Um, how much of that did you see?"

"Enough," Lucy still refused to turn around. "I thought you hated him that you couldn't stand being in the same room as him."

"I did," Katherine fixed her curls. "But then I remembered that he was really good at sex."

"Mom!"

"Katherine!"

"I'm going to go downstairs," Lucy said awkwardly. "And please close the door next time, and you better have used protection. I do not need a sibling."
