Update :) Sorry for the delay, having a little writer's block.


Twenty minutes later, they were in the police car, pulling into Kol's drive. Surprisingly there were a few other cars there.

"Alright, you ready?" Liz asked.

Elena nodded, "I need to know what happened."

"Let's go," Damon agreed.

Kol answered the door and Elena swallowed.

Now that her memories were back she immediately had a flash of him holding Damon down as Klaus assaulted her.

"Sheriff. I wasn't expecting you back so soon," Klaus greeted with a smile, until his eyes landed on the couple behind her.

"Don't mind them," Liz instructed, "Can we come in?"

Kol hesitated, eyes on Damon, "Uh, yeah...sure."

Elena was surprised further when she walked in, as Elijah was sitting on the couch.

"Uh, I asked Elijah to come over, so I could tell him about Nik."

Liz nodded, motioning for her deputy to sit, and the rest of them followed.

"So what can we help you with, sheriff?" Kol asked, "I assume this is about Niklaus?"

"In a way," Liz nodded, "I'd ask you to come into the station, but as you are both here, I'll make do."

Kol lifted his hands, as if to tell her to begin.

Liz exhaled, "The two of you know Elena? Yes?"

Kol and Elijah both looked at her.

"We..um-"

"Yes." Elijah cut off his brother.

"And Niklaus introduced her as Katherine?"

"Yeah, his girlfriend," Kol shot, smirking at Damon, whose fist clenched.

"And did either of you know Elena before then?"

"No," Kol claimed immediately, but Elena noticed the hesitance of Elijah's face. Of the two of them, he had always been kinder to her.

"Elijah?" Liz asked.

The man looked down, "Yes...we did."

Kol shot him a panicked look, "What are you doing!?"

"Something we should have done when Niklaus first started this," Elijah stated, then he looked at Elena and Damon.

"I am...so sorry. No, that doesn't even- you have to know, the night that Niklaus...when we attacked you, I had no idea that he was planning on going that far. I didn't know he was going to force himself on you. I...I should have stopped him, but I panicked, and I'm sorry."

Elena stared into his eyes, "I believe you."

And she did. Even though he'd held Damon down that night, he hadn't been too happy about it. He was trying to protect his family, and made a mistake.

But Damon didn't seem so convinced, "Why didn't you say something then?"

Elijah met him head on, "Would you? If it meant condemning you're family? I couldn't."

Damon's anger brought him to his feet, "And in the act, you cost me mine! You have no idea of the pain...the agony of feeling like everything that matters to you, is just gone! You selfish bastard!"

"Damon," Elena chided.

Liz stood then, "I think I changed my mind about the station. I'm taking you both in."

Kol turned to Elijah, "Idiot! Why didn't you keep your damn mouth shut?! What about Katerina? Huh? How could you do this? We're your family!"

"We are not above the law!" Elijah shot back, "And what we did was wrong."

Kol jumped at him then, but luckily the deputy was faster.

He forced Kol down, cuffing him.

"Take him to the car," Liz demanded.


Once the man walked out, she turned back to the others.

"Are you willing to confess to everything you know about the situation?"

Elijah's head hung, "I am."

Elena almost felt bad for him, "Who is Katerina?"

Elijah swallowed, "My fiancee...my pregnant fiancee."

He met her eyes, and Elena understood, "Thank you."

He nodded, then looked at Damon.

"I'm sorry, for you're pain. I get it now. I think about that night all the time, wondering how it would have felt if Katerina had been in Elena's place. I can't even begin to make an apology big enough to cover all the wrong I let happen. I should have came forth, about knowing Elena was alive, but when Katerina told me that she was pregnant, that we were going to-I am so sorry, but I didn't want to risk not being there, for her and our child."

Damon considered him before nodding, "I wish that there was a way your woman wouldn't be affected by this."

Elijah nodded, "Me too, but I knew I'd have to pay for this eventually. And I owe you that much."

Elena swallowed, "So, did Klaus ever mention anything about my child? My medical report says I gave birth...Elijah, please. If you feel even a quarter of love for your child as I did mine, you'd tell me."

Elijah swallowed, "I'm sorry, Elena. I do know that Klaus kept you in a comatose state and waited until you went into labor. And that you had a boy...but I don't know what happened after that. He knew I disagreed with his course of action and...well, lets just say he cut me out of the plans. I lived my life, he lived his."

She nodded, tears in her eyes, "A boy...but he's still alive, right?"

Elijah bit his lip, "Possibly. Actually, probably. I can't say for sure, but I do know Niklaus. I don't think he killed the child, not if he kept you alive, Elena. He'd want to hold it over Damon's head, same as he did with you. I think that if he wanted to kill it, he would have done so while you were still pregnant."

Elena sighed, thanking God.

"I appreciate it."

Elijah nodded, before turning to Liz, "Well, lets get this over with."

He held placed his arms behind him, turning so she could cuff him. Liz sighed, then began to read him his rights.


Damon looked down at Elena as they walked out the door.

"We'll find him, Elena."

She nodded, "We had a son, Damon. Our baby has to be alive, I don't think I could handle it if-"

"Stop, kitten. He's alive. I know it."

She smiled and he kissed her forehead.

"Damn it!" A yell came from by the car, and the two hurried out.

"What's wrong?"

Liz was standing by the car, a body on the ground.

"It's my deputy, he's knocked out."

"Where's Kol?" Elijah noted, looking around.

The rest followed his lead, finding nothing.

"He's running then?" Damon shot, and Liz pulled out her radar, notifying the office to send out a warrant.

"We'll catch him," she promised.

"Be careful, Sheriff," Elijah warned, and all three turned to him.

"Klaus trusted Kol," he explained, "And now Kol will do anything to save his own neck. There's a good chance that he knows where you're child is...and I wouldn't put it past him to try and make a deal."

Liz cursed, then added, "Well, hopefully, we find him before then. If not, we use him to find the baby."

Elena could have sworn her head was spinning.

She shut her eyes, thinking that they were way to close to let it end here.

"We need Klaus," she stated.

The others looked at her, "He's the only other person who knows where the baby is. Offer him a deal if need be, but the second his memory comes back, I want to know where my son is."

Liz nodded, "We'll do what we can."

Damon put an arm around Elena, "That better be good enough.

The sheriff just shook her head, before calling an ambulance for the deputy.


Ooh, will Kol get to the baby? Will Klaus get back his memory?
