I will find you.
Sorry for the delay in this chapter but it went through a major rewrite it was very angst filled originally but considering the previous chapter.
I made this chapter lighter with only a couple moments of angst and a lot of Stebekah smut, so you have been warned.
Also the turtle story is based on something that my goddaughter does.
She opened her eyes slowly as they adjusted to the light that filled the room, letting out a soft sigh as she turned to face the door.
She could hear his voice outside the door as he thanked someone and then closed the door.
Stefan walked into the room to find Rebekah waiting for him.
'Hey you're awake'.
He smiled as he walked to the bed leaning over to kiss her.
'Happy Birthday'.
He whispered as he leaned back to stare at her brushing his fingers against her cheek softly and she smiled.
'Thank you'.
Her eyes went from his to the bed noticing that a small black box rested between them.
Without hesitation she reached for the box while Stefan watched her as she opened the box slowly.
Smiling as she touched the ring for a moment and then looked at him.
'It's beautiful'.
She whispered softly as she took the ring out of the box.
'I had it engraved'.
He places the ring on the palm of his hand so that she can see.
Ti penso sempre
He repeats the words engraved on the ring.
'What does that mean?'.
She asks looking at him.
'I think of you always'.
'Ti penso sempre'.
She repeated smiling as he slipped the ring onto her finger and then kissed her hand.
She noticed the look of desire in his eyes as he played with the hem of her silk nightie.
Kisses placed to the side of her neck as he ran his fingers against her thigh.
'Stefan'.
He looks at her and she smiles as she moves so that she now straddles his lap and he smirks.
His hands come to her waist as he caress the skin hidden from him, leaning forward to place a kiss to her collarbone.
She brings her hands to his hair, her fingernails against his scalp as she plays with his hair a look of anticipation in her eyes as she waits for his next move.
His hands on her thighs as he moves them up slowly beneath the satin, she shivers when she feels his fingers brush against the piece of lace he intends to remove and then his hands on her hips.
Rebekah was never one to question Stefan when it came to the bedroom, she loved moments like this when his pleasure wasn't his priority but hers.
He stares into her eyes as his fingers lace through the loops on the sides of her panties.
"Thank god for tie-sides'.
He whispers and she chuckles at his words lifting her hips so that he can remove the item from her.
Kissing her deeply as he brings his hand between them and touches her lightly and she rocks her hips in his lap.
She pulls away from his lips, the strap of her nightie slipping down her shoulder and he can't resist the urge to kiss her collarbone again as he slipped his fingers inside her causing her to gasp in response as his lips moved lower to the skin just above her breast.
He continued to kiss the places he knew she loved the most while his fingers moved slowly inside her, he was drawing this out but the rock of her hips and the feel of her nails in his back.
Drawing this out wasn't going to last much longer for her, he had to support her weight with one hand as she arched her back so seductively that all he could do was watch her body give into the pleasure he had built up inside of her.
He brought her back upright as leaning up to kiss her as he turned his fingers a different way and felt her gripping his shoulders tightly.
Pulling away from the kiss gasping gently in his ear as she came down from her high.
Klaus looks up from his book to stare at Lydia who is laying in the middle of her play-mat happily having a conversation with her stuffed turtle.
When she was around 4 months she had a habit of babbling to the turtle and then shoving it in her mouth as she attempted to eat.
He had lost counts of the amount of times he had found her trying to eat the turtles soft head.
Closing the book, resting it on the side as he went to join his daughter on the floor.
Lydia turned her attention away from her turtle to look at him.
As she stared at him she started to smile showing her dimples as he kissed her cheeks and she giggled in delight patting her hands against his face and then went back to babbling to the turtle.
His attention went from his daughter to the legs that had come into his sight and slowly looked up finally looking into Caroline's eyes as she smiled at him.
'Did you enjoy your bath?'.
He asked as she walked over to him as he stood up, his hand coming to her waist as he brushed his lips against her cheek.
'I did, how are you doing?'.
She asked with a smile and he nodded.
'I'm fine'.
'Klaus you don't have to lie to me, seeing your dad I know how difficult that must have been'.
'I have nothing left to say about Mikael, I know where I stand with him and it will never change.
He will never accept me as his family and he will never be part of our family end of story'.
He smiled at her touching her hair.
'Okay I won't mention him again'.
She kissed him and then turned away.
'Caroline'
He looked at her and smiled.
'I told Kol, I'd drop Lydia to Henry's and then I'll come back and pick you up before we meet Rebekah and Stefan'.
She nodded looking at him and then at the clock.
'Okay, you go have your shower and I'll try and attempt to get our little one dressed in more than just her diaper'.
He chuckled for the last few days Lydia seemed to be against clothing whenever they had tried to dress her she ended up screaming at them until they just gave up and left her in her diaper and a wide smile of pride on her face.
'Can I help you?'
Elijah smiled at the women at the counter.
'Yes, I'm here to collect a birthday cake under the name Mikaelson'.
The women nodded before looking at a screen and typing.
'The finishing touches are being put to your cake, it shouldn't be more than 30 minutes, while you wait would you like to try our new vanilla and coconut truffles'.
Elijah turned away from her looking at Elena who was reading a book as she sat at a table and then back at the women and nodded.
'Truffle'.
Elena smiled as Elijah sat beside her with a white box with four truffles inside.
'Okay'.
She took a truffle from the box, smiling as she took a bite.
'How is it?'.
He asked looking at her and she nodded.
'That may have been the best truffle I've ever tasted'.
He smiled.
'Well wait till you try the cake, this was always Rebekah's favourite bakery growing up, it seemed fitting to get her cake from here.
I was surprised to find it still open after all these years.
You know her birthday has always been her favourite day of the year especially when she was younger, we used to joke that they should be declared a national holiday'.
Elena laughed.
'I remember when she invited me to her 16th, I wasn't sure what to expect.
I didn't want to go I had got into this stupid fight with Matt and Caroline came over and practically dragged me out of my room, telling that just because I was in a fight with Matt wasn't an excuse to miss what would be the best party every thrown in Mystic Falls.
I was intrigued I heard the stories from Katherine about the parties Kol would throw, she said it was like being too asked to party at Gatsby's and she was right it was like nothing I'd ever seen before, it put any party thrown by Mrs Lockwood to shame'.
Elijah smiled.
'Ah her 16th was a stressful affair for myself and my brothers.
She drove us insane the whole month prior to the party but we didn't complain it was the first birthday we truly celebrated since Henrik and since Nikklaus had joined us.
We knew how special her 16th was supposed to be so we let her drive us crazy'.
'She's lucky to have brothers that love her as much as you all do'.
'There is nothing we wouldn't do for our sister, we have to protect her'.
Elena nodded.
'I know I have witnessed how protective you are over her, I remember doing track and seeing Kol tackle Stefan to the ground after he found out that Stefan had been on a date with Rebekah and you waiting outside the school for her.
'Looking back now, our reaction to her dating Stefan wasn't the best but Rebekah had been hurt before Stefan and we didn't want her heart to get her hurt'.
Elijah was reading for a lecture when he heard the front door slam, he caught a glance of blonde hair as Rebekah ran up to her room slamming the door behind her.
Followed by a loud scream and then a loud smash.
Closing the book, he rose from his seat and went after his sister concerned for what had made her rush home so suddenly in such a rage.
He expected to walk into her room to find her tearing her room apart but instead he found her lying in her bed, her bag thrown to the floor.
She lay curled in on herself, her face red from crying.
In the short amount of time she had been in her room, she had done enough damage to her room, books thrown across the floor pages torn out, photo's ripped to pieces and frames broken.
'Go away'.
Her voice a shaky whisper.
'Rebekah what has happened?'.
He asked softly sitting on the edge of her bed.
'Is there something wrong with me?'.
She asked looking at him, tears freely flowing from her eyes.
'Of course there is nothing wrong with you Rebekah, why would you ask such a question?'.
'I thought he really liked me, I was so stupid why would be I'm just some stupid kid'.
Her words surprised him, he knew that Rebekah had crushes on boys he had heard her whispering with her friends late at night about them but he was unaware that she was having relationships.
'He told me I was the prettiest girl in the world and that he loved me but he didn't'.
'Who are you talking about?'.
He asked his voice calm.
'Alexander'.
She whispered, he recognised the name he had heard it enough from Kol.
Alexander was a friend of Kol, he was cocky and walked around in an air of self-indulgence.
Elijah had never liked him and his dislike from him only grew as he looked at his sister.
'What did he do?'.
'I can't tell you'.
'Yes you can?'.
He replied placing a hand lightly on her leg but the movement made her winch in pain and he stood up staring at her as he reached for the blanket she suddenly held tightly to.
'Let go of the blanket?'.
He told her but she held on tighter as tears rolled down her cheek.
'No'
Her voice shaking as he uncurled her fingers from the edges of the blanket slowly pulling them down at first he didn't notice anything until he noticed the bruise on just under her collarbone, he didn't say anything as he pulled the blanket away further and then looked at her.
Elena looked at Elijah she hadn't spoken for the longest time as he spoke.
'Did he?'.
She couldn't even say the word, not wanting to think of her friend in that situation.
'No, they had got into an argument and Alexander was always known for his violent temper and she happened to be on the receiving end of his violence'.
'I don't know what to say'.
'Neither did I all I could do was comfort her as I did I swore to myself that I would never let find herself being mistreated by any man'.
'Stefan will never be that person you know, when he looks at her nothing else matters, his world is her and those girls.
He would never hurt her'.
Elijah nodded taking her hand.
'I had my reservations about Stefan but he kept proving himself, when Rebekah fell pregnant my concerns returned would stay by her side or would he tell her to get rid of their child.
I learned then never to worry about Stefan when it came to Rebekah, he changed his life for her, he constantly goes above and beyond to make her happy'.
He looks at her and kisses her cheek.
'Stefan stop it'.
Rebekah exclaimed as she wiggled herself free from under the covers while Stefan planted kisses along her hip and then came out from under the covers smirking at her.
He was ready to pull her back under the covers when the phone beside the bed started to ring and Rebekah answers it.
'Hello?'.
She answers turning her back to Stefan who moves behind her, moving her hair to the side kissing the nape of her neck.
As she listens to the voice on the other end of the phone.
'This is a reminder to let you know that check out is an hour'.
'Check out is an hour'.
She repeats, Stefan's lips still against her spine as he reaches for the phone which she passes to him.
'Hello this is Mr Salvatore, I'm aware that check out is an hour but I'm willing to pay for the room for the next few hours'.
There is a pause from the other voice and Rebekah stands up slowly the covers falling away from her body as she walks over to the window.
Stefan watches as his wife stands in front of the window, sunlight surrounds her body and she stares at him.
Her blue eyes wide with love and passion, she runs her hands through her hair and then brings a hand to her bare hip.
Stefan stares at her with such an intensity, she can't help but caress her own skin while holding his gaze.
Smiling when she hears Stefan's intake of breath as he falls silent.
'Mr Salvatore'.
Rebekah smirks as Stefan brings his attention back to the phone while Rebekah walks back towards him and stops when she only a few inches away from him.
She can hear the voice on the other end telling Stefan that it would cost him an extra £500 to keep the room for the next 3 hours.
She can't help but laugh as Stefan agrees and then hangs up before the person has the chance to speak.
'Well that was rude, you didn't even give them a chance to finish speaking?'.
She tells him.
'I really don't give a damn if it was rude or not'.
He replies his voice huskier than before as he stands up and pulls her to him, smirking as she gasps in delight when he picks her up and her legs come around his hip.
As he turns around and then lowers her to the bed, her legs remain at his hips as he leans over her, his eyes running down her body and then focusing.
'Tell me what do you give a damn about?'.
She whispers as biting her lip seductively staring at him.
'How about I show you'.
Is his only reply as he captures her lips in a kiss.
'Look who has come to see you'.
Henry and Bonnie look at Kol as he walks back outside with Lydia in his arms and Henry rises from his seat to take her as Kol passes her to him.
'Hello little one, aren't you beautiful',
Henry can't help but smiling at Lydia who stares at him with curiosity and then smiles as she touches his face.
'I can see both Klaus and Caroline in her, aren't you something'.
'She certainly is, you should see Nikklaus with her, she's the apple of his eye'.
Henry looks at Kol and then back at Lydia.
'I can see why'.
Kol smiles as Henry stares at Lydia adoringly while Lydia stares at Noah who is sleeping peacefully in Bonnie's arms.
'Fatherhood it can change a man, I'm thrilled that Nikklaus has been able to experience this side that life has to offer with this beautiful child, I wasn't ever sure it would happen for him'.
'He just had to meet Caroline Forbes'.
Bonnie said looking up from Noah with a smile and Kol nodded in agreement.
'That is true, Caroline is certainly the perfect match for my brother, I never thought I'd see him fall hard for a girl'.
Henry smiled as he let Lydia down and watched as she instantly found herself fascinated with a butterfly that had been hovering near a rose bush.
Everyone watched as she walk towards the butterfly and stumbled to the ground with a soft cry, Henry rose from his chair to attend to her but Kol only chuckled and Henry looked at him and then back at Lydia who in fact wasn't crying at all but laughing as the butterfly hovered in the air above her.
'We have to leave this room soon'.
Stefan looked at Rebekah as she ran her hands over his chest and then kissed his neck making him groan.
'I thought you wanted to rest'.
He replied as she kissed him again.
'I'm done resting now'.
He pressed his lips to hers passionately, his hand in her hair pulling her closer to him.
As he brought a hand to cup her breast, his thumb slowly stroking her nipple.
She pulled back to look at him and he smirked understanding she was done with sensual, slow love making.
His body covering his as he placed opened mouth kisses all over her chest, her hands pulling at his hair bringing his lips back to hers.
As she flipped the position, smirking down at him as she rolled her hips in that delicious way she always did that made him swear under his breath as he thrust into her.
Their movements were frantic, like they couldn't get enough of each other.
His hands on her hips, as rocking her back and forth.
Her arms around his neck and body arched, her moans intermingling with his own.
His lips at her neck tasting her skin as she moans into his ear in pleasure.
'Oh just like that'.
She whimpers as he slowly thrusts into her then moves his hips so that he goes deeper and he can hear her breath faltering, her toes curling against his back.
She came with a with scream and Stefan followed close behind her, losing all sense of rhythm as he thrust into her with blind passion not only triggering his own orgasm but another within Rebekah who wasn't sure if the room was spinning or she was.
She sighed softly as she rolled over to face him, her fingers slipping into his hair.
Smiling as she felt his own deep exhalations against her skin.
Klaus walked into the restaurant, he had dropped Caroline of on the way just so that she would be there if Stefan and Rebekah arrived.
Which they hadn't yet done as he walked outside to the table to find Caroline sitting with her back to him.
Her fingers brushing against the nape of her neck.
'Have they not arrived?'.
He asks her as he sits beside her at the table and she shakes her head.
'No, Rebekah called she said that they overslept but I know better so I told we'd see her tonight'.
He chuckled at her response before kissing her as he did he didn't notice that a women sitting a few table from them was staring at him and she only stopped when the man she was sitting with distracted her.
'What are you looking at?'
He asks turning his head glancing at Caroline and Klaus.
'Nothing I thought I saw someone I used to know but I was wrong'.
She smiles at him and looks at her menu but can't help but look at Klaus as he stares at menu with Caroline.
'Something smells amazing'.
Rebekah exclaimed as she and Stefan walked into house where Alexa and Lexi rushed out of downstairs to embrace her.
'Happy birthday mummy'.
Alexa tells her as Rebekah kisses her cheeks and then kisses Lexi who is holding a large bouquet of flowers.
'Thank you sweetie, they are beautiful'.
Lexi smiles as Rebekah hugs her.
'Happy Birthday'.
Elijah kisses her on the cheek as and she smiles.
'Thank you Elijah'.
'How does it feel to be another year older?'.
'The same but it feels more special this year, we are all together as a family and Noah is here'.
Elijah smiles at her.
'Your presents are in your room awaiting to be opened'.
'I'll open them later, now I just want to be with my family'.
She smiles at him and then looks at Stefan who winks at her.
'I'm going to take the bags up'.
He heads for the stairs while Rebekah follows Elijah into the dining room.
Where she is greeted by the sound of Kol singing Happy Birthday to her out of tune but she doesn't care.
They are home and even though it's for a month, it feels good to be back in the city she once called her home with all the people that mean the world to her.
