Cami was attempting to finish some work in her office when Alaric walked in. She looked over.

"The kids that decided to summon a boy's underwear have been talked to."

He smiled. "Good. I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Okay."

"Damon think that he may have found Klaus."

Cami looked up hopeful. "Where is he?"

"New Orleans. With the others. But still...it could be a trap."

She sighed. "I have to try. But what can I do with the kids?"

"Bonnie and Caroline can stay with them. I will too. Elena, Stefan and Damon will take you to New Orleans."

She nodded. "Thank you. Really you guys have done so much for us."

"Cami you're part of our family. We protect our family no matter what."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Cami was finishing packing her duffle bag while trying to explain the kid's routine to Bonnie, who would be taking care of them at night.

"Make sure Kova gets a story and a glass of water before bed. And turn on a nightlight for her. oh and Ethan has to be out of here by 11pm. he knows this and Hope knows. Double check her room before you go to bed because he may try and sneak in through her window."

Bonnie smiled. "Cami. Remember me? Aunt Bonnie. I know that Kova is afraid of the dark and I also know how much she loves stories. I also know that Ethan likes to sneak into Hope's room so I need to watch her like a hawk. They'll be fine. I got this. You just go focus on getting their dad home."

Cami smiled and hugged her. "I seriously can not thank you enough for this."

She laughed. "We'll just have to have wine and a chick flick as soon as you pop these two little ones out."

Cami nodded. "Deal."

Cami grabbed her bag and headed downstairs. She stopped at the bottom of the grand staircase where the kids were waiting. Kova was crying a little. Cami knelt down.

"Hey Mommy will be home really soon."

Kova nodded. "How long?"

"I don't really know yet but I promise that I will be back as soon as I can. And we always keep our promises right?"

"Right."

She kissed her cheek then looked at Reagan. "I expect you to take care of Kova. Keep her safe for me."

He nodded. "I will. I love you."

She hugged him tight. "I love you too."

When she walked to Hope she saw that Hope was trying to hold everything together. Cami realized that this scene was all to familiar to her. She pulled her into a big hug and spoke to her quietly.

"I promise you I will be back soon. I will come home to you and we will continue on with Thanksgiving and getting ready for Christmas."

Hope nodded. "I love you Mom."

"I love you too Princess."

She grabbed her bag and followed Damon outside.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Heading into The Quarter was eerie. Cami led them into the compound and started taking covers off of furniture. Damon looked around.

"Well this place looks cheery."

Cami rolled her eyes. Stefan and Elena helped her finished and she spoke to them quickly.

"Damon and Elena can take the guest room next to Hope's bedroom, Stefan if you want to take Elijah's and I'll stay in Rebekah's bedroom."

They nodded. Elena spoke to her as they walked up the stairs.

"I figured that you would stay in Klaus's bedroom."

Cami looked at her. "I died in that room. And the first time I died in the guest room. So I figured I may have better luck in another room."

"Makes sense."

Cami opened Rebekah's bedroom door and set her bag on the bed. She looked around before sighing and heading back down the stairs. She spoke to Stefan, who was getting out his toiletries.

"Hey I'm going out for a few minutes. There is a bar down the street called Rousseau's i'll meet you there for dinner in fifteen."

He nodded. "Okay."

She headed outside into the crowded street. She made her way to the church and walked inside. It looked like it had been returned to its original state. She sat down and stared up at the alter. She heard footsteps but didn't turn to see who it was.

"Cami?"

She looked at saw Vincent Griffith. He looked stunned to see her.

"I...I heard rumors that you were alive...but..."

She smiled and spoke. "Did you ever think that this would be your life? The vampires, werewolves, witches...all of it? I mean when you're a little kid you hear the stories. But you never actually believe that any of it truly exist."

He sat down next to her. "Yeah. All the time."

She sighed and put a hand on her stomach. "My life has gotten so out of control...I'm not even sure who I am anymore."

Vincent nodded. "So are you going to tell me why you are here and um...how you're pregnant?"

She smiled. "I'm looking for Klaus and the others I know they're here somewhere and I am bringing him home to his children."

"Children?"

Cami pulled out her phone and showed him a picture of all the kids together. He looked at it stunned.

"They yours?"

She nodded and pointed to Hope. "You recognize that little baby now?"

He smiled. "Hope. God she looks like Hayley."

"She does. But she has her father's artistic ability."

He laughed. She then looked at the time.

"Do you want to join us for dinner?"

"No I better go see to my coven. If you need help with anything...just call."

She nodded.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Cami walked into Rousseau's and found Elena and the boys already at a table. As soon as she sat down the waitress walked over.

"What can I get you all?"

Cami spoke before the others could. "Four orders of gumbo."

"Coming right up."

Damon cocked his brow and she explained.

"It's the best gumbo in town."

He nodded. Stefan looked at her.

"Did you do what you needed to do?"

She nodded. "One of my closest friends here is the leader of the witches. I figured we may need him."

They nodded. As soon as their food was brought out Cami heard yet another familiar voice.

"Cami O'Connell?"

She turned and grinned. "Josh."

He hugged her tight and looked at her slightly confused. "What are you?...How are you?...You're pregnant?"

She nodded. "Yeah we have a lot to catch up on." She motioned to the others. "This is Stefan and Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert. Their friends of mine from Mystic Falls."

He nodded. "Hey i'm Josh. I'm the owner."

They nodded and Elena spoke up. "This gumbo is incredible."

He grinned. "We bleed part of our souls into every dish here."

Cami had him sit with them and she gave him the cliff notes version of the last ten years. He was stunned.

"Holy crap. So what do you guys think happened to them?"

Damon shrugged. "Probably Esther. But we'll know more tomorrow. All we need is a locator spell from Cami's friend and then we will be able to tell you more."

Josh nodded. "Well since Marcel left I am in charge of the vampires. If you need any help let me know."

Cami hugged him. "Thank you."
