Hey. I am so, so sorry! I know I've been gone for a while. I went back to school last Tuesday, so I've been struggling to get back into a routine. No more sleeping in until noon for me :'( Anyway, I've been struggling with writer's block recently, I need to get back into the rhythm of writing this story. I need your help to have this story progress. It's kind of in a rut right now. Your reviews would be amazing! So thanks! Also, THANK YOU so much to all of those who have reviewed, as well as those encouraging words. They have been so lovely.

I DO read every. single. comment. I take what's said quite seriously. If you leave me a suggestion of an idea for future chapter, I do consider them. I have seen one that I already have completely planned out, but I'm just not at that point in the story yet.

If anyone knows the game they play in this chapter, let me know if you expected what I did with Elena.

A reminder that this story is just for fun, nothing super serious should happen in this. But, we'll see where it takes me.

Disclaimer: I OWN ONLY THE PLOT!

Please Enjoy!

On That Fate Filled Day

Chapter 14: No Sleep for the Worried

"Let the games begin!" Damon yelled.

Bonnie instructed everyone to sit in a sort of circle. The guests whom she had referred to did as she instructed.

The seating arrangement was something like this:

Sofa one (With the back to the kitchen): Kol, Bonnie, Elijah.

Sofa two (The other one): Rebekah, Matt, Lexi.

Pillow seats placed on the window's side of the room: Stefan, Katherine, Damon, Jeremy.

Pillow seats on the other side of the room: Elena, Alaric, Caroline, Klaus.

(All lists go from left to right for the individual spot. If that made any sense.)

Once they were all seated, they realized they didn't know what game to play. "Vixen?" Damon asked, his signature smirk plastered to his face, "No!" Bonnie quickly answered. Much to the relief of Rebekah. Rebekah was up for nearly anything, but if it was being really sexual with her brothers, no thanks. "Let's play something a little more tame…" Elena suggested. The group nodded, understandingly. "Oh! I know," Caroline shrieked, "let's play Animal Instincts!" Most people seemed confused. "What game is that, love?" Klaus asked her, "Yes, please, do explain this game." Elijah added.

Bonnie, Elena, and Rebekah were all smirking at Caroline now because they knew the game. Bonnie got up and quickly grabbed a stuffed teddy bear from where she left it on the kitchen counter, then brought it back to the group.

Caroline took the bear from Bonnie's outstretched hand before beginning her explanation. "To play this game, it takes two parts. First we pass the bear to the left around the circle, kissing it somewhere different from anyone else. Does that make sense?" She asked. Everyone nodded. Caroline kissed it's mouth before passing it to Alaric. Alaric kissed the bear's temple, then passed it to Elena who kissed it's neck. Caroline, Rebekah, and Bonnie all looked at her like she was crazy, but Elena only smirked. The girls all laughed, excluding Katherine and Lexi.

Elena passed the bear to Elijah who kissed it's tummy. Bonnie kissed it's cheek, and Kol, it's butt, predictably. After Kol, was Jeremy. He kissed the bear on the paw, Damon was next, he kissed it on the shoulder. Katherine kissed it's junk, and Stefan kissed it's upper back, between it's imaginary shoulder blades. Lexi kissed the tip of it's ear.

Matt kissed the bear's nose, Rebekah, it's earlobe, and finally, Klaus. Klaus kissed the bear's forehead because there was hardly anywhere left.

"Now," Caroline announced, taking the bear away from Klaus, "Part two!" Everyone looked interested. Caroline opened her mouth to continue, but was interrupted by Elena taking over, "Part two," the young doppelgänger started, "Wherever you kissed the bear, you now have to kiss the person to your right." Elena smirked at some people's faces; scared, regret, worry, happiness, relief, etc. Caroline started, again. She kissed Klaus on the lips for a short five seconds before it was his turn.

The hybrid kissed Rebekah's forehead sweetly before letting her take her turn. She turned to Matt and began suckling and licking his earlobe, occasionally gliding her tongue across his neck. She didn't keep it up for long though because it was Matt's turn. He almost reluctantly turned to face Lexi, before leaning in and kissing her nose. Rebekah giggled, that calmed Matt's racing heart a lot.

Lexi turned to Stefan and boldly licked across the tip of his ear, then nipped at it with her blunt teeth. Lexi pulled away so Stefan wouldn't lose his control. Stefan silently thanked her with his eyes before kissing Katherine between her shoulder blades, barely touching her. Katherine laughed at that before kissing Damon between his legs. Not lingering for too long, but long enough for Rebekah to cough along with Stefan and Matt. Katherine sat up grinning, "Let's finish this later, hm?" She asked rhetorically to Damon. He just stiffly nodded because he now had to kiss Jeremy. He leaned down stiffly and kissed Jer's shoulder with almost nothing, causing most people to laugh out.

Jeremy and Kol's kiss was just as stiff and awkward, but the group still laughed. They had all gone through several glasses of alcohol each, so only Bonnie still had some left. Kol pushed his little witch up from the sofa so he could kiss her ass. He didn't spend much time there though.

Bonnie kissed Elijah's cheek before he kissed Elena's tummy. He had a very passionate make out session with her tummy too. Bonnie suddenly got an idea, but she wasn't gonna say anything yet.

Elena smirked and pulled Alaric close to her. She started nibbling, and sucking, and licking his neck. She had Alaric moaning with the attention. Elijah pulled her away from him, and Elena just smiled wickedly at him. At first, the look startled Elijah, but then he saw her eyes gleaming at him; calling to him to play a game with her. He subtly nodded at her causing her smile to only get wider.

A breathless Alaric turned to Caroline and softly kissed her temple, watching Klaus warily. Elena pulled out her phone and typed something on it, then showed the message to Elijah. Elijah looked warily at her, questioning if she was truly sure about her request. She didn't back down, she stood strong. So, he just said okay. Everyone turned to look at them but neither one explained, so everybody decided to let it go. "I have an idea." Bonnie piped up, "What would your idea be, love?" Klaus asked. "Let's go downstairs and watch a movie!"

Bonnie was so excited about her own idea, she was all but bouncing on the sofa. "But," she added, "it's not very formal down there." "That's fine, Bon." Elena comforted. Bonnie's smile grew at her friends kindness, and she jumped up off the sofa, startling Matt and Rebekah who had been lost in a lustful embrace.

Bonnie showed Jeremy and Alaric towards the stairs to find a guest room because they both claimed to be sleepy. When she returned, everyone was gone except for Matt. He said he was left in charge of telling her that everyone else had already gone downstairs. "Okay." Bonnie smiled, "Go?" Matt asked his witch friend. Bonnie nodded, leading him to the basement door. Once everyone except Alaric and Jeremy were in the theatre, Kol pressed play on the movie.

Middle Left: Dark and oozing Sex Appeal

Front Left: Clean, with some furry pillows

The movie they decided on was The Princess Bride. Everyone was okay with it because it had romance, action, friendship, revenge, etc. About 30 minutes in, the group was pretty out of the movie. Everyone was very much distracted by their partner. They kissed more then they watched the movie. But there were no problems with it.

The movie progressed and the couples had all almost completely disregarded it. They were all in varying states of disarray. Some completely nude, some with mussed up hair, makeup smeared, fluids on their covers, and moans escaping covered mouths. When the movie was finally over, they were out quicker than Bonnie could blink.

Kol turned the T.V. off and scooped Bonnie up in his arms, taking her to bed. Kol removed Bonnie's shirt, then his. He massaged her breasts through the padded fabric of her bra. He noticed she wasn't responding the same way as she used to. He also noticed that her bra was one that he'd never seen before, it was bigger. Kol stopped his kneading and then noticed her belly was protruding farther than he had expected. Seeing as he pretty effectively killed the mood, they decided to do something else.

"Um, Bonnie," Kol stuttered, "Yes?" She answered, "Wanna come into the study with me? I wanna look something up in my mother's grimoire." He said. "Okay." Bonnie agreed.

The pair headed downstairs, then Bonnie sat atop Kol's lap in a chair in the corner. He was flipping through the old book looking for the spell Esther used on Bonnie. "Aha!" He suddenly exclaimed. It startled Bonnie. "Sorry, Bon." Kol apologized, as he skimmed the words of the page, seeming to understand it all. "Could you do me a favour, my little witch?" Kol asked, "Of course." Bonnie answered, "Could you give me a pad of paper, and a tool to write with, it doesn't matter what." He instructed. Bonnie hopped off of his lap and skipped towards the desk. She took the needed objects and skipped back to Kol. Kol took the objects from her petite hands before setting to serious work. He scribbled letters, words, and even little sketches. He had little notes for things, and a detailed diagram. Bonnie noticed he kept flipping between the spell's page and the back of the old leather bound book. She looked at him curiously, but didn't say anything.

Bonnie and Kol sat in almost silence for a few more hours before Kol got up to sit at the computer chair. He pulled up GOOGLE to search. 'Pregnancy; witches wives tales' was his search. He clicked on page 3 then clicked on the 8th link. He didn't spend any time debating what to click, he just…knew. He scrolled to the bottom of the website, and clicked a hidden button. It brought him to a page to type in a code that only vampires could see. A witch could see it too if they used a special charm.

The page unlocked into another page, Kol scrolled through it slowly now. He no longer knew exactly what to click. He decided to use filters to help his search. He used 'pregnant' 'vampire' 'witch' 'ancient' and 'curse'. Only one result was found.

"Well at least there is one." Kol mumbled to himself. He looked over to where Bonnie had been sitting on the sofa chair, she had fallen asleep. He would have taken her upstairs, but he couldn't risk losing his new information before he even read it. So Kol clicked 'open' on the article and read through it quickly. He stopped when he found the first part he wanted. It had bits of the spell, so Kol knew this was what he needed.

'If you are unsure as to why the mother seems to be swelling at a quicker pace to normal, it is normal. Don't worry yourself, or her. Whether a living human, or an immortal vampire, mamma should remain calm. Her sped up swelling is because the pregnancies only last for about 5months instead of 9. It could also be due to two variables; stress, or…'

Kol was shocked. His little witch was practically stress free, that means, "Oh. My. God." Kol said aloud. He backed up off the website as far as he could before closing all tabs, then powered of the computer. He had noted what he learned on a piece of the pad paper, before scooping Bonnie up again and carrying her to their room to sleep.

Of course, Kol would not be sleeping tonight.

End of Chapter

So. If you think you know what is going to happen, please don't say it in a review. You could pm me though. I think it would be cool to see if anyone knows where this story is going. So, if you do think you know what Elena showed to Elijah, or what Bonnie's idea was, or what the second variable could be, pm me.

Your reviews REALLY help and inspire me to write more. I love to see them. You are all so encouraging, and it makes me feel really appreciated. I'll try to update this more, but I can't make any promises. Don't forget to remind me to update if I go a couple weeks without. It usually happens because I forgot to write anything. I'll try hard, but I'll still need your help.

Thanks for understanding. I'll see you next chapter! ~XoXo. Mel.
