No One's POV

"So, I didn't realize that coming here would mean that I suddenly became Alexis' fairy godmother…" Lucas comments dryly, flicking his hands to perform a spell which cleans up some of the glass in the entry way as he and Jeremy load things in from the cars.

"Oh man, dude, do not let Alexis hear you say that!" Jeremy laughs, helping Lucas correct a piece of furniture in one of the rooms they had dropped their bags in. "You will literally never live that nickname down!"

"Sounds like a big sister." Lucas notes with fondness, also wondering what it would be like now living in the Mikaelson household, clearly much different than it was in the Parker household, which frankly, other than his sister Olivia, was very cold and unwelcoming, Alexis didn't seem like that though.

"Yeah… Alexis is kind of like that. I mean- I had Elena. And, Elena was great when we were little, and I'll always miss her and love her. But we just- grew a part after a while. Especially after things with the Salvatores. And Klaus was a big part of that, sure, and I'll probably never like the guy much, but- but I realize now that- that things didn't necessarily have to turn out the way they did… Anyways, Alexis- she's really amazing- Definitely the kind of sister you want, the kind of famil-" Jeremy cuts off as Kol barges in looking frankly a little maniac.

"So… My little mate said I can't kill you…" Kol growls, suddenly appearing in the room, his eyes dancing with mischief and a bit of psychotic darkness, his vampire still precariously out of control. "But she said nothing about maiming or otherwise harming…"

"Shit." Jeremy mumbles, realizing he should have realized Kol would never let things go that easily.

Lucas reacts automatically, hands moving before Jeremy could try and move himself, Kol flying through one of the walls of the room and over the stairs railing

"KOL!" Alexis screams, having just come back into the mansion with Elijah and Niklaus, watching Kol crash over the stairs rather ungracefully.

"Aw, double shit…" Jeremy mutters, running downstairs, Lucas right after the Hunter.

"DAMN IT, KOL! What did I tell you? Did you just try to attack Lucas and Jeremy?" Alexis yells at Kol, starring the youngest Original down, annoyance clear on her face, Jeremy relaxing a little.

"Maybe." Kol mutters, sulking.

"Kol…" Alexis sighs, hands planted on her hips.

"Hello angel." Kol says instead, jumping up and flashing to his mate.

"Don't hello angel, me. Kol, I told you not to hurt Jeremy and Lucas." Alexis sighs. "That includes injuring, of any kind."

"Fine." Kol grumbles, attempting to get closer to his mate again, looking unhappy at the thought of not being able to disburse any kind of justice and Alexis not allowing him to get closer to her.

"Good. Now, come on. I owe you an explanation." Alexis offers, walking the short few steps back into the living room, Kol following easily, a bit like a lost puppy, Elijah and Niklaus both staying even closer than before, hyper aware of their mate now that they knew she was carrying their children.

"Pregnant?" Kol echoes after Alexis tells both him and Finn, sitting across the room in an arm chair, unsuccessfully able to sit next to his mate, much to his irritation.

"Vampires cannot reproduce." Finn states, not understanding.

"I know. That's- that was the way it was in the show, too. And… well, I- I wasn't supposed to be able to have kids either. I mean, I'm not- not in my original world anyways. I'm- I'm actually- it's just not possible, not- But- but that has changed in- in this world, obviously. And- and we know that I can't be compelled here. So maybe this is similar too. In that, things have changed. The common denominator being me. Lucas and his siblings didn't know either. At least, that's the running theory. Since nothing else really makes sense." Alexis offers a bit unsure.

"Children… We can have children." Kol states, as if clearing things up.

"Umm… Theoretically. Well, I mean, yes. Since I'm carrying Elijah's child?" Alexis replies, not really understanding what Kol is saying.

Kol flashes in front of Alexis, suddenly swinging her into his arms from the couch.

"Okay, woah!" Alexis screeches, arms flailing for balance. "KOL!"

"Kol." Elijah says disapprovingly, his inner vampire bristling at the rough and sudden handling of his mate, his pregnant mate, nonetheless.

"Okay, okay, Kol- wait, where are you taking me? What are you doing?" Alexis squirms in Kol's arms.

"Babies. Babies right now." Kol demands, walking towards the room he and Alexis share, Alexis tossed over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"Umm…" Alexis manages to say, her brain slightly stalling, shock probably covering her features.

The realization of what Kol was meaning finally hits Alexis making her laugh a little, Kol whining and pulling up short.

"No, babies?" Kol asks, his inner vampires a little wounded at the thought of his mate not wanting children with him now that it was presented to him.

"Oh, no, sweetie. Kol, that's not it. Not at all." Alexis promises, Kol setting her down. "Babies don't work like that though. I'm pregnant now. You can't get me pregnant. Not until I've had the ones that are inside me. You'll have to wait."

Alexis laughs a little again at the absurdity of the conversation; honestly how had this become her life? As if the current supernatural drama wasn't insane enough for her.

Kol snuffles at her instead, herding her back the few steps he had moved her, back into the living room, this time successfully draping himself over her lap like some oversized house cat, his older brothers glaring at him.

"How is this my fucking life?" Alexis mutters, fingers trailing through Kol's hair gently.

"This is why you left." Elijah continues the conversation, attempting to distract himself and change the conversation, irritated at his youngest brother from taking their mate away from his side, his inner vampire even more anxious to have Alexis from his side now that he knew she was pregnant with his child.

"Yes." Alexis admits.

All the brothers get a dark look at this admittance, low rumbles forming in their chests echoing in stereo.

"Explain it to us, Elskan. You said it was to protect us. Explain it so that we do not explode with rage right this second." Elijah grits out with barely constrained control.

"Do- do you remember what I told you about Hayley?" Alexis immediately asks, looking to the brothers.

Niklaus grunts in annoyed agreement, irritation clear on his face at the mention of the irritating, she-wolf harlot.

"She gets pregnant, with your child, Nik… And you come here. To New Orleans. Only the witches here- they use your child against you. As a weapon to control you. And- and I just couldn't- I couldn't let that happen. I couldn't. I had to protect our child, our children. Whether I was pregnant now or in the future. I only did it to protect our child, which at the time, I didn't know for sure if I was pregnant, but I thought if I was, that there was only one. I knew the Gemini Coven could help me… They value the life of children, above many other covens, certainly above the ones here; and most importantly, they practice natural magic and are one of the most powerful covens to exist." Alexis explains. "I'm sorry I hurt you. I really am. But I also wouldn't do it differently."

The brothers all let out another resounding growl and Alexis finds herself under the combined glare of all four of them.

"You come to us, Alexis. You do not run. You do not hide things. You. Come. To. Us. Alexis." Niklaus growls. "There is nothing, NOTHING, we would not do, nowhere we would not go, and nothing we would not get for you."

"I know that." Alexis says quietly, looking down.

"Then why?" Finn breathes in carefully through his nose.

"I do know you would do anything. I do." Alexis replies, still in a tiny voice. "But I still had to do something… Something by myself, or without you there, rather. I just thought- I thought it was better. There- there were too many variables."

"Never. Leave. Again. Alexis. Not without us." Niklaus warns. "We won't be held responsible for what happens or what we do next time."

Alexis nods.

"I promise. I don't plan to." Alexis promises, smoothing Kol's hair out, Kol nuzzling into her more comfortably.

"Nothing will happen to our children, love." Niklaus vows, now flashing to kneel in front of Alexis, hand cupping her face tenderly. "We won't let anything happen to them. Even if we must bathe this entire town in blood. Slaughter every witch, warlock, vampire, and wolf in the Quarter. They won't hurt you. They won't hurt you, or our children, Alexis. This we vow. Always and forever."

Hey everyone,

Just to clear up a few things...

One of my lovely reviews successfully guessed how Alexis was able to have children with Elijah! So cookies for you! You are awesome! I thought it would be unfair for our lovely Originals if only Niklaus got to have babies with her...

Another thing... It IS possible for a woman to have kids with more than one man at the same time. The woman just has to have sex with more than one man within the same gestation period... I'm NOT making this up. It's a thing. While it's supposed to be twins I did take creative liberties at that with Nik having twins & Elijah having just one kid. The term is called superfecundation twins. A big thank you to my fanfiction pen pal who told me about that when I dove into the dark abyss of threesomes (I seriously hate that word)...

I actually like keeping my fanfictions realistic, as realistic as "fanfiction" can be. So I do honestly look things up & research guys... So, again with the nitpicking... It'll get really old, real fast guys... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE questions, but realize that you don't know my plot line, while I know EXACTLY what I'm planning miles ahead of you guys.

Anyways, thank you for all the support! Seriously, I think this last chapter had the most reviews on it, singularly count wise, yet! AMAZING!

Much love,

P.S. I'm moving my story up a rating to M - Mature. Usually I wait a while to add scenes like this in... But hey, guess who's excited for their mate to get home? Umm... No spoilers, but these Originals! Bahaha!
