Klaus and Elijah POV

"Brother, what did you want to show me?"

"Well Niklaus, it's a bit hard to believe, but it's the spell Kol sent me after. I haven't proven its validity yet, but I do not believe our brother would have sent me after it, had it not been genuine. Take a look." Elijah explained and handed his brother the paper. After reading through it, Klaus put the paper on the table in front of him.

"Do you realize what this is? Where did you find it?"

"Yes, I realize what it could do. I found it in the Appalachian Mountains. Does that place have any significance?"

"It's where Tyler went to in order to break the sire bond to me. It's where he met Haley."

"So, this could be the spell that Haley used to get pregnant by Tyler?"

"I would say that this is the same spell."

"Kol said it would be important. I never thought he would send me to the fertility spell that Haley used on Tyler." Elijah stated in deep thought. Neither of them saw or heard Caroline coming to the door. When she heard the spell they were discussing, she left.

"This isn't just a fertility spell. This works on vampires. That means all of us could have our own families if we wished it."

"Yes, it appears so. That's why Kol said it had to be protected. I will keep it locked up and call Terri to prove its validity before we discuss this with the others."

"That sounds like a good idea Elijah. I also have something I need to find out. Would one of the witches outside know about werewolf mates? Maybe even how that would apply to me being a hybrid?"

"Perhaps, but why are you asking me this unless… you think Miss Forbes is your mate?"

"I think she is but I want to be sure before I tell her my suspicions. If she is and this spell is real, then I will tell her and let her consider everything. Stefan said she is going to try to push me away because Haley manage to conceive a child with Tyler and Caroline will believe I have that chance with someone that's not a vampire. This here could prove differently. She won't chance me passing up this opportunity when she believes she can't do it herself. She'll run and I can't let her do that Elijah."

"I would help you brother, but do you think this would be all it takes? Wouldn't it be too much for her right now? I can't imagine her wanting a child anytime soon."

"That's not the point Elijah. I wouldn't suggest using it anytime soon. We aren't even in a relationship right now, but I was close before the memory transfer. I know what she thought about before the spell. She thought I wouldn't want her and would think I wasted my time after the spell was complete. She barely looks me in the eye Elijah; I don't know what to do to convince her that everything is the same as before. The only differences are that I know more about her and I feel more for her than ever before. That's all she thought about when I kissed her and she was in my head. I had seen her crying and thought I hurt her on accident, but it wasn't that. She thought I wouldn't love her after seeing her life. I know she loves me too, but she doesn't know it. She feels it, but she doesn't know what she's feeling exactly."

"Have you thought about how you're going to get her to realize it?"

"Yes, and I think she'll understand when she see it from my perspective. That's another thing I wanted to ask you. I need the same memory transfer spell that was used on Caroline, used on myself; only I need to limit it to where I first met Caroline continuing until the time when the spell is done in the future. Which witch would you recommend?"

"I think I know one that could do it. When would you want to do it?"

"Directly after the situation with Davina is resolved. I don't need to put anyone at risk while doing this spell, and everyone is still at risk right now. Just inform the witch of what I need done and have her prepare the spell. I'll tell Caroline what we're going to do."

"Alright Niklaus. Go and tell Caroline and I will tell the witch." Elijah stated as Klaus walked towards the door. If he had paid attention, he would have noticed Caroline's scent outside the door, but she had been close to him all day, so he didn't catch it.

Klaus and Rebekah POV

Klaus walked down the stairs to the level he would find Rebekah's room and knocked on her door. Rebekah opened and saw him alone, so she didn't know what to expect.

"Sister, I need to speak with Caroline a moment. Is she awake?"

"You haven't seen her?"

"No, where is she?"

"She left to talk to you a little while ago. Where were you?"

"I was upstairs talking to Elijah?"

"She must've not known where to look. She could be with the guys downstairs, but I didn't hear her pass the door." She said and then they focused their hearing on the guys. Rebekah blurred downstairs and back to Klaus quickly. "She's not with them. Where could she be? Could she have overheard you and Elijah talking?"

"I don't think so, but it's possible. Let's check upstairs on this level and then upstairs." He instructed before they blurred through all of the rooms on the second level and headed to the third floor. Klaus checked the room he and Elijah had been in before but she wasn't there. When he went to leave the room he noticed her scent was close to the door and led past the stairs to the other end of the house. That side was mostly empty rooms, so he couldn't figure out why her scent would go that way. He saw a door opened and entered, immediately going to the closet he saw open. When he got there he saw Rebekah who put her finger up to keep him quiet. They walked back into the hallway before Rebekah spoke.

"She's sleeping. What were you and Elijah talking about?"

"Why?"

"Because whatever it was I think she heard it; or at least part of it. She's been crying. Her eyes are still wet and her cheeks are covered in dry tear stains. So, I'll ask again… What the bloody hell were you and Elijah talking about?"

"Before Elijah came back, Kol sent him to the Appalachian Mountains to retrieve a spell. We started off talking about it and then we moved on to the possibility of her being my mate since I'm a hybrid, and lastly, we talked about doing a memory transfer so Caroline will know every thought I've had about her so she believes that I want her."

"Okay well the last 2 topics would freak anybody out, but I don't think she would be crying about them. Does she know about them?"

"She already knows my intentions about the memory transfer and agreed to it, so I know it's not that. Before I do that, I'm going to have a witch determine if she's my mate so I can tell her, but I think it's the spell Kol sent Elijah after. It has to be something to do with that, but it should make her happy, not hiding so she can cry."

"What is it?"

"Elijah and I are not discussing it until we prove its validity, but I believe it's real since Kol sent us to it. It seems to be the fertility spell Hayley used on Tyler."

"That's what she had to have heard. That's why I sent her to talk to you. She wanted my help to convince you that she was the wrong girl for you, so you could have children."

"But the spell isn't limited to just hybrids and wolves. It's for vampires."

"She wouldn't run away if she heard that. She must have not heard that part. You have to tell her about it. She thinks it's only possible for you to have a family, and being with her would take that away from you. She doesn't want you to give that up for her."

"But I don't have to. The spell is for all vampires who you use it to have the ability to conceive. That includes her."

"I understand that Nik, but maybe she didn't hear that part. How did you react initially?"

"A little shocked, but as I read further I was happy."

"If she saw you happy and didn't know the vampire part, she just lost all hope and left. She probably won't talk to anyone now. Nice going Nik."

"I didn't know she was watching. Bloody hell, I'll show her the entire spell so it'll clear this mess up."

"She won't listen to you Nik. She probably thinks you'd tell her anything to believe you."

"What about you or Elijah or even Stephen? She's got to listen to one of you."

"I doubt it Nik but I can try. Where is the spell?"

"In the safe in Elijah's study."

"I don't know his combination. Do you?"

"Of course I do. I'll get it. You stay here and make sure she doesn't go anywhere."

"Hurry Nik; she might wake up." He said quickly as he blurred back to Elijah's study. He opened the safe and retrieved the spell that held his world in its hands. If Caroline didn't think she was taking something away from him, wouldn't that make her open back up a little but? Would it be enough? He blurred back to find Rebekah waiting for him. He handed her the paper and went to get Bonnie. He and Rebekah knew Latin, but he knew Caroline wouldn't be able to read the whole thing, and she probably wouldn't believe his translation.

"Bonnie, I hate to disturb you, but I need your help. Caroline overheard part of a conversation I was having with Elijah, but I believe she didn't hear the whole thing. I need you to come upstairs and translate a spell to English for her. She won't believe it if Rebekah or I translate it for her. Rebekah will help you keep her in the room." He said as he led her upstairs to the room Caroline was sleeping in. "Rebekah will wake her up. Tell her I don't know how much she overheard, but I doubt she heard the whole thing. The spell is with Rebekah now, so don't do anything to it but translate. "

"Fine let me through to so this.

Bonnie, Rebekah, and Caroline POV

Rebekah moved Caroline slowly, trying not to wake her as she moved behind her. She knew Caroline would resist listening after she saw what they were going to translate and explain.

"Care, I need you to wake up. I have something to read to you. Come on Caroline. Wake up Care!" Bonnie finally snapped and Caroline rose from her sleep. She tried to move, but saw Rebecca restraining her. She looked back to Bonnie for an explanation when she saw the spell Klaus and Elijah were talking about earlier. Her eyes watered, but she refused to cry in front of them.

"Care I can tell you've seen this by the look on your face. Do you know what it is?" Bonnie asked as she gave a small nod in return. "Do you know what it does?" Another nod. "Everything it does?" Bonnie asked curiously. Caroline only gave a shrug before she tried to get away again, but Rebekah held tight. "Caroline, listen. I'm going to translate and explain this paper. Rebekah can tell you if I change anything, but I won't. I don't even know what this is. I got woke up because you didn't stick around during an eavesdropping session." Caroline just looked at her defeated. Bonnie skimmed through the spell so she would know what to prepare herself for, but she couldn't help the look of shock on her face. "Caroline this is a fertility spell." When Caroline didn't appear shocked, she decided to further elaborate. "For vampires. This spell lets vampires have children." Bonnie explained and noticed to look of shock on her face before she relaxed against Rebekah.

"Caroline, they haven't proved that the spell is genuine yet, but they believe it is. Kol wouldn't have sent them to find it if it wasn't. They wanted to be sure before they told anyone. I just found out about it too. Bonnie? Thank you for explaining it, but could you give me a minute. I need to tell her something."

"Sure, I'm going back to bed, but first I need to tell you that this spell is real. I can feel the magic attached to it. It's very powerful, so if you ever use it, make sure the witch is fully rested and strong."

"Thank you Bonnie. Would you mind repeating that to my brother and telling him to spread the news to Elijah and I guess Stefan too since he's a vampire, but no further. We don't need this getting out and having a new war on our hands." Rebekah requested. Bonnie nodded and told Caroline she would talk to her later. "Now, can I trust you not to run? I don't want to keep sitting under you and I need to talk to you." Caroline nodded and lifted herself enough for Rebekah to slide out from under her. "Let's talk in my room. It's more convenient and private than here." Caroline nodded and followed. She picked up on the sound coming from downstairs and knew everyone was down there.

Rebekah's Room

"Okay Caroline, grab the computer, and let's talk."

"I think I can whisper full sentences. If I get tired I'll type again, but I want my voice back, so I might as well start practicing now." She whispered.

"Okay, well is there anything besides the spell that got you upset?"

"Sort of; I don't think I want kids anymore."

"Why ever not?"

"Do you not see what our lives are like? I'm a freaking danger magnet even when you guys aren't around. What makes you think I would even consider putting a child through that? What guarantee is there that the child would survive or not be born evil or something?"

"Okay well Kol told Elijah that it would be important for all of us; including you and Stefan. Now, do you really think my brother would want to willingly have a child when there was danger around; or you in danger?"

"No."

"Okay. If the child were to be evil, why would the witch's create the spell? They side with nature and try to keep the balance. Vampires aren't part of the balance, but what if having children made them part of the balance? What if they were part of the balance just by being born? We weren't born evil or monsters. It's our actions that define us. Yes, we've all done monstrous acts, but we're not always like that. You've seen how terrible we can be, but you've not allowed Nik to show you how great we can be too."

"I know you can be great. I've seen humanity in him. I've told him I've seen it."

"So, do you really think that you would have a child born evil?"

"No, but it's a possibility. I don't even want to think about this anytime soon. I'm not even with your brother, and you're acting like we're talking about fertility shots or something."

"I'm not trying to pressure you; I promise. But, it is an option for you. You can be a mother in the future. Whether Nik will be the father of that child or not is entirely up to you. I'm rooting for my brother, but you're not being forced into this."

"Then why is everyone pushing me?"

"They're trying to watch out for you and giving their opinions. Let me ask you something… what do you feel for my brother exactly?"

"Exactly? I don't know. I care about him. I want him to be happy. I don't want to hurt him anymore. I don't want him to terrorize people, but I know he can't ever fully stop that. He's trying to protect his family, so I know he'll do anything to do that. I'm no better; I killed 12 witch's to save Bonnie, 2 deputies to save Stefan and Damon from my mother when Mason exposed them, and a guy who I ran into at the carnival when I was newly turned. I'm not a saint; I don't pretend to be. I know I'm not what he needs Rebekah. I'm 19 stuck in a 17 year old body while he's a thousand years old; what would I ever be able to give him or do for him that he needs?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"What's obvious?"

"You."

"What?"

"Believe me or not, but I believe you love my brother. And I answered YOU to your question. Is that so hard?"

"No, it would be really easy to do that right now, but I'm not going to be enough. He'll see that one day and then what? What happens then?"

"Nik knows what he wants. If he didn't by now, I would think something was wrong with him. He gave up a long time ago on love, but you brought that back to him. Imagine what he'd be like with you for a minute. He would be happy all of the time, and I would see a side of my brother that I haven't seen in a thousand years. He's hardly had any real happiness in his life, so I think he wouldn't ever even consider letting you go. Besides, you never know until you try or do or whatever the saying is."

"I just need time to figure things out without everybody else bearing down on me. I never thought I'd see the day I had you, Bonnie, and Stefan all but begging me to give into him. Not to mention Kol gave me a lot to think about. I feel like the focus has shifted from Elena to me and it's weird. I used to complain because Elena got everything without even trying and now I feel everyone hovering to see if I'm alright. It's driving me insane. Maybe that's why she became crazy and led Stefan and Damon both along; she had everybody there with her all of the time."

"I hate to tell you… but wait… no I don't. Elena has been crazy since I've known her. She just hid how she really was. There was a reason I never liked her and it wasn't just because of Stefan being hooked on her. She's just like the previous doppelgangers. They all acted nice and innocent, but they were all manipulators and liars. I can't believe you lot saved Katherine. As long as she keeps her distance and behaves herself, I won't do anything to her, but I'll be waiting for it."

"I think she will do better now. She's been given a second chance to be better. I was the one she asked to call Elijah the night Tyler and Lily attacked me. I was on the phone with Klaus when it happened."

"I knew that. My brothers explained it to me before they left. I thought it was a plot against us at first, but it was true."

"I don't blame you for thinking that. It's not like you know me for anything else but being a distraction."

"Well I wouldn't say that, but don't do it again."

"I haven't been the distraction for a while now, and the last time I saw your brother before he came back to save me was at graduation. I invited him with no hidden agendas and he ended up saving all of us from witches, and Damon from werewolf venom, but none of that was staged or planned; it just happened."

"I know. Nik does tell me a few things. I ended up saving Matt that day too."

"Yea and then you took him to Europe for the summer. That was nice of you."

"Yes, but I had hoped he would change his mind about me at the end of the summer. He didn't so I'm not lingering on it."

"You know, I think I'm not the only one that has to worry about people pushing her into a relationship she has no idea what to think about it."

"What do you mean?"

"Stefan."

"Oh no you don't Caroline; I don't think so. Why would you even think that?"

"Every time your name has been mentioned recently, Stefan and Klaus look at each other. Plus I think Kol said something to them. Stefan has been a little broody lately."

"Yea well, we'll see who tries to push first. Or should I say second since you've brought it up?"

"I'm not pushing you Rebekah. I'm just letting you know my suspicions and what I've observed."

"I'll keep my eyes and ears open. Thanks for the ehads up."

"No problem. Do you think you could tell everyone that I just want to sleep so I can't get some peace until tomorrow?"

"Yea, but there's one more thing I'm debating about telling you. I don't know if I should or not because it might freak you out."

"What is it now Rebekah?"

"Well, Nik wanted to investigate before he told you anything definitive, so I think I should keep quiet. I don't want daggered for the next century."

"He said he gave you and Elijah the last dagger."

"He did, but I'm not pushing my luck. Just be patient. He should know sometime this week and then he'll tell you. I have a pretty good guess at how it's going to turn out in his investigation, so just relax. It's something good and helpful, so don't panic when he tells you."

"I don't like surprises Rebekah."

"Okay, first just call me Bekah when we're alone. It's a mouthful and I feel like you can call me that by now. Just keep up my full name outside this room so they guys don't know we teamed up against them. Second, I will let you find out. It's not bad or a gift or anything. It might help you with Nik though. Again, I'm not pushing, but it may explain a lot to you."

"Now I'm worried."

"Don't be, but lie down and get some sleep. I'll keep everyone away tonight, but tomorrow you'll be in your own room. Good night; even though it's still technically evening."

"Goodnight Bekah."
