Hello, my darlings! I'm sorry for taking forever to update this story. but i have been really busy with school, work, family issues and i misplaced my notebook where i had this written down. but i found it and were we go! I got inspired and took some ideas from Madtv's wedding video: /1HDaQ_X0Lss. Let me know what you think.-Jasz
Klaus and Cami have decided to renew their vows… their last wedding ended not so delightful. With ties being cut and an innocent life lost. The wedding of Cami and Klaus was tainted by blood, and tears. And now that several years have passed by they thought it would be a good thing to renew their vows… but of course fate has something else to say. Davina is once again heavy with-child.
Klaus stares at his brother and in-laws as déjà hits him. He is preparing himself for his do over wedding with Cami. Sure his family expended much to his dislike. Well not really he loves his family in his own manner. Even if the fates tend to taunt him. Like the fact that Davina is once again pregnant.
Klaus remembers his first wedding with Cami. The blood and tears that spread that night. How he allowed the mutt to rush off. The family is still healing and are happy as of late. He hopes nothing would go array this time around. But with his luck that's a long stretch.
Mikael watches his 'son' as he shrugs on his suit coat. Klaus had confided in him several nights ago in his fear of losing another family member. Especially on the day that is supposed to be the happiest day of his life. How he failed on his promise to each of his nephews and nieces and his own children.
That crack in his armor was patched up quickly as it appeared. Due to little Robyn bouncing into the room with a blanket looking tired and doll like at them. Klaus shut himself up again and never spoke of it again. He loves to appear in control of his emotions in front of the children and siblings. That is why he currently standing in front of his brother and in laws drinking scotch.
"Why are you renewing your vows again?" Rex questions while scrolling down on his phone.
"Because you dim-wit, I want to make up for the last one." Klaus growls at his son in law while of course avoiding the looks of Elijah, Calypso, Marcel and his father.
"Yeah, well-it's lame."
"Where are my nephews and their father? Where's my son?"
"Will you calm down?" Rebekah kicks in the door with a wryly expression on her beautiful face. "Adrian, Sean and Isaac are getting the cake from Alec's house. I really wish you would have allowed them to bake the cake here instead of throwing a fit."
"Do you not trust our nephews and my son?"
"I trust them… I don't trust Alec. He's too much like Kol."
"Speaking of Kol."
"Don't get your bloody knickers in a twist. I'm here you filthy mongrel." Kol shuffles in. His suit in its garment bag.
"Why aren't you dressed yet?" Rebekah cries.
"Well, you know Rebekah my planet sized wife has been driving me up the wall with Braxton Hicks the last two days."
"Okay…" Rex answers and looks around confused as always.
"Every bloody time I step away she will call out."
"Kol, she's scared of …you know." Josh replies as he strolls in running the lint roller over his suit.
"As I am. As we all are." He huffs.
"Get dressed. I'll keep an eye on her." Mikael retreats as Kol sighs and runs a hand tiredly over his handsome face.
Klaus shakes his head as Elijah hovers over Kol. Who is trying to keep Elijah from taking his pants off? Which he fails when Elijah kicks Kol off his feet and falls flat on his ass. Elijah changes his brother like one would change a toddler. Some things will never change in the family.
Cami wrings the fabric in hand as she looks at her reflection. The off white dress she has on gives her a lovely porcelain doll appearance. Yet the dread that looms over her makes her distressed. Hope is on the bed talking to Freya, who cuddles a sleeping Robyn close. Florence had to step out when Mikael stopped by to inform them of Davina and Kol's arrival.
"You know, nothing is going to go wrong this time around." Freya assures her sister in law.
Ophelia cocks an eyebrow at Hope. Hope in turn waves her off saying 'later'. It's still taboo to speak of that day. Hope often blames herself for the events that happened. But her aunt and uncle often tell her she is not the blame. Nor that they blame her. But it's still there the guilt and shame.
"I have this horrible feeling at the bottom of my chest."
"Heartburn?" Ophelia offers playfully.
"I wish."
"Well, the family won't let anything bad happen. Nor would we allow history to repeat." Freya sooths Robyn's dark locks.
"I just-"
"Having second thoughts shacking yourself with Klaus? Oh, Love, how late you are for figuring that out with twenty four years of marriage under your belt to boot. Rebekah strolls in with a camcorder. "Nor can you top your last breakdown."
"Breakdown?" Hope questions.
Cami glares at Rebekah as Davina waddles into the room. Aurora (Poppy) at her side. Nenet and Beatrice behind the pregnant witch. Davina huffs as the three try to help her.
"Girls, she's okay." Florence waves them off as she takes Robyn from Freya.
"Papa said to watch over her." Aurora sighs.
"Poppy, your father is a moron." Rebekah sooths her goddaughter's dark locks.
"How are you feeling, Davi?" Freya questions her sister in law who slips into a chair.
"Fat, tired, and my feet are swollen…. After this one, no more!"
"So Kol will not be getting any more sexy time?" Rebekah questions with a smile as her camcorder goes to the pregnant witch. "You heard that your insurable git, you will not be parking your car in her garage."
"I will never be able to use that term again!" Cami wrinkles her nose as the other girls stare in horror at Rebekah.
"After being married with Nik, you should be use to-"
"Rebekah!" The women huff at the blond who shrugs and zooms out the window. Her thoughts drift to the day of Klaus and Cami's wedding and the events that occurred before the fates took away their happiness.
"It's time." Kol's voice causes everyone to snap over at him. He stands there with a tired expression on his handsome face. Elijah is behind him with a lint roller and combing Kol's dark locks. April shakes her head as she watches her husband and brother.
"Awe, no breakdown this time around." Rebekah pouts as she hands Hope the camera.
"The day is still young, Auntie Bex." Hope gives her a smirk.
"That it is, love." The group walks towards the courtyard. There they settle to their places. Kol and Davina go off to their seats and everyone waits for the bride to stroll out.
From the other side of the door:
Cami cringes as she can hears silence… its then that she hears Alec playing the piano, Aurora on her beloved violin and Isaac stringing the guitar. A sweet, delightful voice that belongs to her son idly lulls her nerves. The four have a knack to sooth those around them. As she takes a deep breath she watches Freya, Hope, Rebekah, Ophelia and April walk down the aisle towards the alter. As the Wedding march starts she feels the same bubbling emotions she felt many years bubble deep within her. The uneasiness of the day and events embrace her as Josh walks her down. Her eyes land on Klaus as he as he gives her a smile. Sean stands beside his father as his best man. Once reaching the alter, Cami blinks away her emotions and smiles at her husband.
Klaus stares at Cami in amazement.. His wife once again left him speechless on their wedding day. She looked like an angel in her off white gown. Her hair piled on her head and her eyes shining. He catches the small smile that appears on her lips. As they stand there and renew their vows. The ceremony goes without road bumps.
As they all relocate, they all sit in round tables as they being to enjoy their meal. Elijah does a speech once again. After he made sure his nephew had taken enough of his drink and the sleeping agent takes effect. Everyone is confused but Elijah is about to go off on his speech. It's when he's slumps forward and falls to the ground. Klaus looks about the room to meet a set of eyes he really wished he didn't lock with.
Alec smiles at his uncle as he stands up. He wanted to speak his thoughts on his 'beloved' uncle on his special day. He along with the rest of his siblings composed. Isaac found old videos hidden in their father's laptop. They found video's of each of their births and their uncle Klaus holding each and everyone one of them.
"I'd like to make a toast to my beloved 'Big Eye' uncle. I wish you the best to you and Auntie Cami who condemned herself to you for a much longer time then she would like to. But oh well." Alec starts as Kol chuckles from his seat.
"Alec!" Klaus growls as he narrows his eyes at his nephew.
"To the point, Alec Nathanael Mikaelson." Klaus growls.
"Please turn to the screen before you."
"What-"
Suddenly the lights dim and on the wall is shown scenes of Klaus holding each of his nieces, nephews and child. In each little box you can see him tendering looking down at them and rocking them in his arms.
'I will always love you, no matter how much I'm annoyed by your parents or you're antics when you get older. I'll always be there when you need me. Whether if it's just to have a chat or you need a helping hand. I will be at your side no matter the outcome or the odds. I promise you no harm will come to you nor your siblings so as long as I can help it. I'll always love and protect you. Always and Forever.'
Klaus is stunned to hear his own voice and to hear the vow he made for each child in his family. He eyes each of the children that are now adults and married to boot. They all smile at him with love and affection. He watches as they all get up from their seats and go over to him. they embrace him in a group hug causing him to wiggle in his seat. Cami smiles and snaps a photo.
"We promise to love and protect you too." They state in union and look at his aunt and uncle; they pull away and start back to their seats. Until Alec whirls around and smirks.
"Oh Uncle Klaus! Look what we found in the vault." The room dims once again and the projector is seen to be rolling. On the blank wall another video starts.
ON the wall is the projection of twenty four years ago and there is a very Spazzy Cami pacing the room in her wedding dress. Freya and Rebekah are sitting on the bed watching the younger blond as Florence enters the room and shakes her head.
"I can't… I can't do this." Cami whispers as she tries to back away.
"Cami-" Freya starts.
"I'm not cut out for this." She jerks left then right.
"Cami, calm down." Freya tries once again.
Cami gags several times and rushes into the bathroom. You can hear her throwing up the oatmeal she had in the morning. Freya and Rebekah attempt to beat on another into submission to check on her. Florence gets up and goes to the human blond and peers into the bathroom. Florence brushes Cami's golden locks to the side and rubs her back.
"When I was her age I wanted to get married so badly." Rebekah huffs while picking up Cami's veil.
"Bekah, you are lot older then Cami. And not everyone is the type to want marriage." Freya states as she picks at her pea green dress.
Cami comes out and smiles slightly at them. Florence leaves the girls and goes to check on Klaus. The three continue on getting ready. It's when she's left alone and a bottle of aged whiskey that the blond goes on a binge and sucks the bottle dry. She texts josh to bring her another. The baby vampire does and makes a joke. Cami flings the empty bottle at him causing to dive only to dive into the dresser nearby. A sicken crack is heard and a limp josh lays on the ground.
She's seen crying into the bottle. She starts to sing at the top of her lungs. It's when her face lights up; she quickly gets up and opens the window. She's about half way out when Josh comes to and quickly drags her back in. the two fall and tumble. Cami whacks him several times and stops as she begins to sob.
Josh pats her on the back and she shoves him away. Josh leaves her alone and Cami tosses the bed comforter off the bed. Grabbing the bed sheets she ties it to the chandelier and starts to make a noose around her neck. She's about to jump off the bed when Freya and Rebekah walk in. quickly the two get her off the bed.
'Cami, you're having cold feet that's all.' Freya informs the green-eyed blond.
'I doubt that's cold feet, Freya.' Rebekah replies with a slight smirk.
'Cami, what are you doing? Your about to marry Klaus, whom you love with all your battered heart.' Freya ignores her sister's remark.
'If you love Klaus so much why don't you marry him!'
'Cami, he's our brother… and that's wrong.'
'you did this to me!' Cami accuses Rebekah all the while pointing at her.
'I didn't do anything!' Rebekah retorts.
The two get into an argument. It's there that Cami starts to panic and attempts to rip her wedding dress off her body. All the while crying out stating she couldn't do it. She flings several things at the Mikaelson sisters after they refuse to help her remove the gown. It's there that Florence returns with a tray of Ice tea. She forces Cami to drink her's till the glass was drained of the amber liquid. Cami calms down and soothes her dress and goes on as her melt down never happened.
'Mom?' Rebekah starts as Florence cleans up the room with a small spell.
'A relaxing agent.' Florence smiles as she takes a drink of her non-spiked drink.
'You drugged Cami.'
'Oh keep your voice down. All I did was give her a tranq. Now get her ready. Kol and Davina just arrived.'
'The small army has arrived.'
Cami is seen tapping the mirror as foot falls are heard. A four year old Alec and one 1/2 year old Isaac burst into the room with their swollen mother behind them. Kol grinning like a loon as he sees the pained look on his younger sister's face.
The projection stops and the lights are turned back on.
"What the hell?" Kol whispers as he turns to face Florence who takes a long sip of her bloody Mary. Pretending to not notice the looks she's getting.
"I thought we got rid of that video." Freya whispers to Rebekah. The two sisters stare wide eyes at Klaus who looks hurt.
"Well, this is a turn of events." Elijah replies as he spikes his coffee. April rolls her eyes at her husband. He vowed not to drink anymore but family gathers tend to be tough.
"If you didn't want to marry me; you could have told me." Klaus eyes his wife who looks ashamed.
"Klaus-" she starts.
"And where did you lot get this video?" Klaus goes up to his nephew.
"You need to clean out your ears. We got it out the vault, we stated that in the beginning." Alec retorts while rolling his blue orbs at his uncle.
"And we should of called it off." Cami mumbles. "I don't regret marrying you or into his insane family. I just can't deal with the heartache or bloodshed… I'm scared to have allowed you into my life and turned everything around. This was a huge step for me and I was alone. My brother and uncle gone from my life. Everyone I love left me and what if you left me? I wouldn't have anything to tie me here."
"Oh, love." Klaus' features soften and he wraps her in a tight embrace.
Rex scrunches his nose and accidentally hits play on the remote. Scenes of Klaus on drunken nights appear. Alec laughs and points at Rex who tries to stop the video only for it to slow down and play the moment that Hope confesses to Rex that she's pregnant.
"Who did that?" Rex cries as he tries to avoid his father-in-law. Robyn giggles as she flashes him a smile. "How could you, Rob!"
"I told you not to eat my cookies or pay for your offense." Robyn smiles and waves at him. "Bye, Rexi, it was not nice knowing you."
"Evil Spawn!"
Klaus lets go of his wife and tackles Rex to the ground; ready to tear him apart. Hope is trying to stop it but Mikael and Marcel are holding on to her. Kol watches from afar as Davina leans against him. they watch Isaac and Alec attempt to take their uncle off but Klaus shoves his nephew to harshly into the four tier cake.
The family freezes at this. Isaac maybe the calmest and least violent out of the Mikaelson males. But when his temper is unchecked there's hell to pay. Alec scrambles out of his baby brother's line of sight and hides behind his sister in law. Beatrice sees the dark glint in his gaze. Klaus and Rex stop their fighting to see the middle Mikaelson male whipping lumps of bread and frosting from his person.
"Run you fools!" Mikael hisses as Isaac trains his sights on his uncle and friend. His mouth opens to start to move. Alec pushes Beatrice towards Isaac as a distraction.
"Ich shwӧre dir Immer-" she starts but a loud crash stops her from finishing.
Mikael has Rex and Klaus in a head lock as Cami takes a drink of tequila. Davina and Rebekah watch Kol and Marcel shoving cake into each other's faces. Elijah has vanished and that makes April antsy. Josh is taking a drink of the spiked punch not too far. Suddenly keys from the grand piano graces their ears and the melody of a familiar tune forms. Josh cheers and starts to hum along. April's face drains at the song that has become her nightmare.
"Making my way downtown-" Elijah starts singing from his seat in front of the Piano.
"Kol did you spike the punch again?" Freya questions as she eyes her brother who stops shoving Marcel's face into the base layer of cake.
"No," He replies as he goes back to his deed.
"Mommy, why does uncle Elijah's coffee taste nasty?" Robyn's voice questions.
"Robyn, you're not suppose to drink that." Calypso scrolls his daughter who gives him a sassy look.
"Um you guys… where did Uncle Josh get the ribbons from?" Sean questions as he turns to Aiden who looks like he wants the ground to eat him. Josh dances with ribbons as Elijah continues to sing and playing the piano.
Klaus bites Mikael and tries to drive his hand into his chest. Florence mumbles something and Klaus is out cold. Aiden watches the free show after coming to terms with Josh ribbon dancing. Aurora carefully discards the bottle of potion she recreated. Her uncle Elijah told her of the events that took place he was well into his cups. They watch Elijah gleefully singing 'A thousand Miles'.
"Oh!" Davina yelps causing everyone to turn to her. A sheepish smile crawls on her lips as she waves them off. The party resumes. Cami jumps onto Klaus' back distracting him when he comes too. The night ends with Elijah's face meeting the piano keys; thanks to Klaus getting annoyed by his older brother. Josh is hog tied and tucked under the piano. The rest of the family enjoying the backup cake.
there you have it! I hope you enjoyed. it may not of been as funny as before but it after all is a renewal and they are a bit paranoid due to the last time. but non the less i hope you enjoyed. let me know what you thought. -Jasz
