AN: Ok so…Hayley is 20 weeks along, She'll start to show soon, and I don't know if I want to slow the story down and wait until she has the baby on TV or just go ahead and name the kid myself. I was planning on them moving to their new home when after the babies is born and then start the sequel…but I'm reluctant especially since the hiatus is almost over. Its not something I have to worry about until chapter 40ish.

For those of you that have been wondering… I plan on that this story will end up being around 40 chapters provided my outline doesn't change.

Remember: This fanfiction is unbeta-ed, and I don't own TO, TVD or the characters; I just own the AU/AR they reside in.

"This is us, the Original Family and we remain together always and forever."

Elijah Mikaelson TVD Episode 4.20 "The Originals"

This Is Us, The Original Family

Chapter Thirty-One: Elijah's Wrath, Nadia's Grief and Aaron's Plan

Part Two of ?

Nadia Petrova; Mikaelson Compound; New Orleans, Louisiana; August 28, 2011

Papa had always seamed the least violent of his siblings besides Finn. Nadia always thought he would rather discuss things than tear organs and torture. It seams that he just needed a trigger…and the attack on Mama was sufficient.

She didn't know what was happening in the basement of the house. She could just hear the screams. They had been constant for the past few days, she was glad Mama could not hear these screams, they might have unsettled her, hearing a voice so similar to her own scream 'Elijah, Please don't do this!' over and over was starting to get to Nadia.

Nadia and Caroline had been camped out in the family room nearest to their mother's bedroom for most of the past day. The rest of the family spent their time either in the basement with Elijah or in the sitting room downstairs with Aaron and Bonnie checking on the research to keep Mama alive. Being in either place was nerve-wracking for Nadia and her little sister, and Mama wanted a few moments alone from time to time, so they decided to stay nearby Mama's room in case she needed them.

Cara sat on the floor, reading to Erik, trying to distract the child from the noise in the basement. Luckily enough, he was easily distracted and Bonnie was able to create a spell to temporarily dull his hearing from vampire intensity to human hearing. Nadia wished her problems could be fixed with a simple spell as well. But Aaron was having no luck finding a spell that would give Silas the cure and keep Mama alive, his plans now focused on resurrecting Mama after Silas killed her.

Nadia let out a whimper at the thought. They had been trying to avoid it but with each passing hour it looked like her mother would have to die to keep the rest of the family safe. She knew this realization was making its way around the family. Everyone grew more intent on his or her tasks, stopped conversing and the mood became bleaker.

It was not fair! She had just found her Mama! Only a few months with her were not enough. She had just found a family to spend her eternity with… if Mama were to die permanently Papa would not recover; she would fall into depression and probably would not want to stay living. The only reason she turned was to be with her Mama, and if Mama were dead Nadia would want to die as well.

It was decided. If Mama died, and no one could bring her back to them, she would find a way to die herself. She'd beg Aaron to lift the Immortality spell and then walk into the sun without her ring, she'd follow Silas and beg him to cure and kill her.

Cara, having noticed her tears, put Erik in the play crib with a stuffed animal and came to sit next to her. She gathered her into her arms.

"Shhh, Nadi. They will find a way to help Mama. She will be fine." Cara said holding her.

Cara's words did little to soothe her anxieties but her sister's embrace was comforting nonetheless.

While cuddling on the couch Nadia saw her Papa pause by the door. He took out his pocket square and began cleaning the blood off his hands.

"Good evening daughters. How has your mother been today?" He said approaching the couch opposite them and taking a seat.

"She misses you. She isn't coping well and doesn't want us to see her human and vulnerable." Cara said. "Papa, she is convinced these are her last days and that we are all being fools to believe that she will survive Silas. " Cara let go of Nadia to look at Papa. "She's wrong right Papa? She will survive this, we will find a way." Cara asked hopefully.

"Of course she will survive this Cara. Everything will be fine. I'm going to spend the evening with her." He said standing up and walking over to where Nadia and Caroline sat and giving them each a kiss on the forehead. "Sweet dreams loves."

"Sweet dreams Papa." They said in unison as he exited.

"See Nadi! Papa said everything would be okay. So no need for tears." Cara said nudging Nadia in the side. "And turn that frown upside down."

Nadia rolled her eyes. She liked that her sister had such blind faith in their family's capabilities but her positive attitude was beginning to be an annoyance. Nadia grew up with stories of the feared warlock Silas; she knew he couldn't be bested. Her mother was doomed to perish and Nadia wanted to grieve now so she could focus solely on following her mother into the afterlife once they had her funeral.

Yes, it would be hard leaving behind Papa, Cara, and the rest of her family. It would also be difficult to not know where this new and exciting relationship with Aaron could have taken them, as she was all but certain that she had fallen in love with him. But the last five hundred years of her life were devoted to her mother and her descendents; her descendents were mortal would all die eventually and now her mother had a date set for her death as well. It made no sense to Nadia to continue living once her mother was gone.

She kissed Cara on the forehead and gave her little sister a small smile, she would regret leaving her behind as Cara has lost so much already, and didn't want the last memoires Cara had of her to be mournful ones.

"Let us play with Erik before Sage comes to fetch him for bed!" Nadia suggested.

Caroline giggled and sped to the crib to retrieve the child.

AN: Hope you enjoyed…part three soon…hopefully that's the last part but I still have a bit I need to get too, just felt that Nadia's bit needed to be on it's own.

Personal Note: Sorry this chapter is coming so slowly and in so many parts. I've been having a shitty few weeks and there is a fricken snowstorm here in Michigan… which sent my mom to the hospital…and got me fired. So good news comes from that…I may be able to write more often!

Beta Wanted: In other news, does anyone want to Beta for me?... or know how one goes about getting a Beta…like is there a community of Betas? Because none of my close friends are in this fandom and every time they try to proofread a draft…its just hasn't worked out that well. Let me know on tumblr (hailhales or hailhaleswriting) or message me?
