Writer's Notes: Thank you pozemom, Siobhan Whitlock, and armywife1979 for your reviews! I believe that Bella is strong and can overcome a lot. She's been through so much already, but I believe that builds her as a character. I get emotional when I write. Especially hard scenes like the ones in the previous chapter. It kills me to write stuff happening to Bella in that way, because as a woman, I've been through similar situations, and it's not…the easiest to handle or overcome. But I relate and connect to this version of Bella, because she overcomes difficulties, and still holds on to the ones that she loves and holds dear. Edward is messed up. Also kills me to write Edward like the villain. I have done it many times, and I told myself, maybe not this time, but low and behold, I did it again. RPat is not a bad guy, and I love him to pieces, but the character that is Edward, has not been my favorite overall for Twilight, as I would much rather see Bella with someone who is going to love her for her, and not want to change her or her strengths. I definitely hope you all love this next chapter. There are two chapters left and an epilogue. So, the end is near for this fic, but don't fret. There will be more. I have so many ideas swirling around in my head, and a few are already written down and planned. Stay tuned for more info on the next fics to come, but for now, thank you everyone for such amazing support. Don't forget to follow, favorite, and review!

[Swan Residence: Three days later]

Bella's memory was coming to her in pieces, and she was happy about that. She remembered Klaus well enough now, and that made him feel better.

"You don't have to carry me Klaus, I can walk just fine," Bella grumbled as she pushed away from him. He let her go, knowing that when she was agitated, that it was best to just let her be.

"I'm sorry love," Klaus murmured, but Bella waved a hand at him, dismissing it.

She sat down on the couch in the front room, and Klaus sat beside her. He helped take her shoes off, which she let him do, so he could rub her feet. "Thank you," she said, her voice soft. She looked at Klaus, his eyes were focused on her feet, but the light in his eyes had gone. He was tired, she could tell. He had people searching for Edward.

When she woke up that first time, she was in a panic, remembering what Edward had done to her during three days of being held hostage. Striped and broken. Carlisle had said that part of her memory loss was partially due to trauma. She had to accept that and move on. At the hospital they gave her all sorts of medications, including a morning after pill, that she was hoping would work. She hadn't told Klaus yet, but according to her app, it was a strong possibility that all this happened during an important part of the month for her. Ovulation. She sighed, thinking about it. She closed her eyes, trying to think of something other than Edward's vile hands on her.

"Are you okay love?"

"Hmm?" Bella said and looked over at him.

"You just looked a bit distraught is all."

"I'm just tired. I know I shouldn't be considering that I spent three days in a hospital bed when I was supposed to spend one day in." She shifted a little, making herself more comfortable.

Klaus watched her. He had spoke to Carlisle about what to look for. He said the next few weeks would be critical for her memories. She had remembered a good bit, which was good, but there were some pieces still missing. On top of that, he told him to look out for some pregnancy queues. That made Klaus' heart drop. They did all that they could at the hospital, but it's not always guaranteed. "I love you," Klaus murmured.

"I love you too," Bella murmured back, and then she was drifting off to sleep. Klaus stayed like he was, her feet in his lap, and he continued to rub her feet. He sighed, not knowing what was next.

[June 17th: Mikaelson Manor]

Two months passed. Bella was doing better. She was lucky, Edward hadn't gotten her pregnant, or at least the medicine in the hospital did what it was supposed to. Things were not normal yet, between Klaus and her. They had yet to be intimate, which Klaus was in no hurry to do, but he understood her reasons. Elena was 30 weeks pregnant with her and Stefan's daughter. When the test results came back that Stefan was in fact the father, she had never seen him so happy. Him and Elena were doing really good now and that made Bella happy.

Klaus didn't like leaving Bella alone for too long because Edward was still at large. She had a security team everywhere she went to eliminate Edward's access to her. The police couldn't find him either, or Carlisle was on the lookout for him to. Emmett swore if he ever got his hands on his brother, that he would kill him, but Emmett wouldn't go that far, at least Bella hoped he wouldn't ruin his life because of his lousy brother.

Damon and Mary were dating and going strong. Which made Bella really happy to see two people whom she loved so much, be so happy. Especially the children, they were happy that their mom was dating Damon. Annabeth had a small crush on Damon, which was adorable. It was Annabeth's birthday today, and Bella and Alice were putting on a party for her at the manor. So everything was festive right now.

"She's turning 10, that's double digits," Alice commented as she blew up more silver and pink balloons with the helium tank.

Bella was arranging the goody bags for all the kids that were supposed to be coming to the party. "I know, I can't believe it. Lola turned five last month. Mary said that it doesn't seem like they should already be so big. But kids grow fast."

Klaus walked through carrying folding chairs. "Hey ladies, where are the chairs going?"

"Gathering hall," Alice pointed, and Klaus nodded, shuffling off with the chairs to set up. Alice was a master party planner, so Bella was happy that she would help before heading back to France with Kol of all people.

By three, all the guests were arriving for Annabeth's big ten birthday bash. There were bouncy castles, a laser tag arena, makeup tent, and then they would move inside for food and presents.

The theme was Unicorn princess, and everything was silver and pink and glitter. Mary smiled and walked over to Bella, who was watching the thirty some odd kids run around playing and laughing. "Thank you."

Bella looked at Mary, smiling back at her. "It's no problem. My godniece wanted a unicorn princess party, we made it happen. If she becomes spoiled, I take full responsibility."

"She knows the value of the party. She's having a lot of fun," Mary said as she watched her little girl duck into a bouncy house laughing and smiling brightly. "Seeing her smile and laugh after being through a lot with losing her father, and then the move. Then the accident. She's a tough little girl." She said and then Annabeth was out of the bouncy castle and then going and getting Damon, her hand clasped with his tight as she drug him into the bouncy castle. Damon was laughing as they bounced him around on the floor of the bouncy castle. He grabbed Annabeth, and tickled her, and her laughter split the air, and it was just beautiful.

Mary teared up. "He's so good with her. With all of the kids. He's just…amazing."

"Damon is pretty awesome," Bella nodded her agreement.

"I'm in love with him." Mary said it, and then blushed.

Bella grinned wide. "I knew it."

"Well, it's only been two months, but I…I just know what I feel is true in my heart, and I'm in love with him. I hope he feels the same way about me."

"Of course he does. Look at him," Bella motioned to him. Damon had escaped Annabeth's clutches. Lola had fallen and started crying and he went right to her, she reached for Damon, and he picked her up, hugging her to him, and then carried her away from the noise. He brought her to a chair and sat her down and looked at her leg. She just bruised it a little, no scratch. Lola was whimpering still, so he leaned down, kissed her knee, and she smiled, throwing her arms around him, and hugging him tight. He kissed the top of her head, and smiled back.

Mary didn't know what he said to her, but Lola was fine now and was darting off to play some more like Damon's kiss fixed her hurt knee. Then Damon's eyes met Mary's and he smiled at her. He walked over to her and leaned in and kissed her softly. "Thank you," she murmured.

"Of course. Sometimes princesses just need their knight to swoop in and save the day," he grinned and looked at Bella. "Great party. Annabeth really is having the time of her life."

"Well, you know. Most of this was Alice." Bella waved a hand around. She spotted Klaus with Matthew. He was carrying him across the small field to join her, Mary and Damon. "Ah, there's my man." She announced and Klaus smiled, and waited for his kiss but Bella kissed Matthew's cheek instead.

"Hey, I thought I was your man." Klaus pouted.

Bella smiled. "Well, Matthew is my little man," she said, and wrinkled her nose at Matthew which made him giggle. He reached for Bella, and she took him, swinging him around and kissing his cheek with a loud smack. He giggled more, and then he hugged her.

"Lala, love you." Matthew spoke. He was saying more words lately. He was 18 months old now, and they all had been working with him on his words, and he was smart. He called Bella Lala, which was cute, and Bella liked it so she left it alone.

Bella smiled. "Love you too Matty." She said and booped his nose. His attention turned to Damon.

"Dada," He said and reached for Damon, and Damon took Matthew. Mary started to say something, but Damon shook his head.

"It's okay Mary. I really don't mind." Damon said with a smile.

Bella slipped her arm around Klaus and leaned her head against him. He leaned in and kissed the top of her head. She was happy right now despite everything that she had been through.

[September 3rd: Mystic Falls General]

Bella rushed Elena to the hospital when her water broke. Stefan was on his way from the airport, and Alaric was picking Jenna up and heading to the hospital. Jeremy was carrying Elena's hospital bag, as they rushed through the doors at the hospital.

The nurse saw Bella, recognizing her as a friend of Carlisle's. He split his time between the hospital in Mystic Falls and the one in McKinney, until Meredith Fell came back from family leave. "Ms. Swan, we already have your sister pre-registered. Go ahead and sign this form, and I'll take her back to a room waiting on her." The nurse said and Bella nodded, taking the form, and Jeremy went with Elena and the nurse.

Bella quickly signed it, handing it over to the other nurse at the front desk. "The father of the baby will be here shortly, he's driving from the airport now," she mentioned to the nurse and then she went to be with her sister.

Elena was moaning in pain when Bella walked through the door. Carlisle was already there. "How is she?" Bella asked, looking at her sister's pained expression.

"She's a week past due, and the baby is ready to be here," Carlisle said with a smile. They got Elena settled, and he draped a curtain over her knees, and checked to see how far she was dilated. "Okay, Elena, you've still got about four more centimeters to go. Do you want to stick to the birth plan you and Stefan have outlined?"

Elena took a deep breath as pain subsided. "Yes. No drugs. I can do this. Where's Stefan?"

"I'm here I'm here!" Stefan rushed into the room, and immediately went to be with Elena. He just landed when he got the text that Elena went into labor. He was in Italy with Damon for two weeks working on a project, and they both just go in. Stefan was going to play it up to just being lucky, which that was exactly what happened. He leaned in and kissed her forehead. "You're going to do amazing; I love you," he said, his hand going to hers and she gripped it tight as a contraction ripped through her again. Stefan winced as the force of her grip was threatening to break his hand, but he didn't complain once, he just took it, as she labored.

After ten hours of labor in the hospital, Emelia Lilian Miranda Salvatore, made her appearance into the world weighing nine pounds, seven ounces, and twenty-two inches long. Elena was exhausted, but happy that her daughter was finally here.

Bella held her niece after Elena and Stefan got to hold her, and she had to admit that baby Em was just beautiful and perfect. Her hair was dark, like soot, and curled slightly. She knew that was from Stefan. Her eyes were still closed, and they were all eager to see what mysteries they held, but for now, she was snoozing away.

"She's perfect sis." Bella whispered and handed her off to Jeremy, who was wary about holding his niece for the first time, but Bella made sure he was sitting down, and his hands were positioned right.

"Wow," Jeremy said as he looked down at her sleeping face. "She's so little."

Elena smiled tiredly at her brother, and then Stefan laced his fingers with hers. She was a mom now, and it was a really great feeling. Scary, but great nonetheless.

[September 13th: 3pm: Bella's Birthday-Mystic Grille]

Bella opted to celebrate her twentieth birthday at the Grille with just her friends. She didn't want to do a big celebration because she didn't want to deal with a lot of people, and Klaus understood that.

"You're getting old sis," Jeremy said and threw a fry at her.

Bella threw it back, smiling. Klaus' arm was around Bella as they sat and laughed, joking, and talking with Jeremy, Damon, Mary, Alice, Jasper, and Rebekah. Elena and Stefan were home with Emelia, and were too tired to make it, and that was understandable.

"So when is the big day for you and Klaus?" Alice suddenly asked.

"Oh, hmm." Bella thought. "I haven't really thought about it honestly. At least not this past month. I had thought about a fall wedding before because of all the pretty colors changing." She shrugged. "But I don't want a big wedding."

Klaus nodded. "Whatever Bella wants, is what I want. I would marry her today, if she would let me." He grinned.

Bella turned, getting the sudden urge. "Let's do it."

Klaus looked at her stunned. "Wait, what?"

"Let's go to Vegas. Now. Let's all get on a plane, go to Vegas, and let's get married." Bella was feeling giddy inside suddenly. She smiled wide.

Damon slapped money down on the table. "I'm in. We can use the private jet. Come on," He stood.

Mary gaped at him. "You have a private jet?"

"I do. I use it sparingly. Jet fuel is expensive, but this is important. Let's go. Load up everyone," he said, doing a twisting motion in the air with his finger. He kissed Mary. "I'll call Sharon on the way."

And that's how the group found themselves on the Salvatore private jet, heading to Vegas.

[7 hours later….10:30pm Las Vegas, Nevada]

Bella wore a cute little veil, and Klaus wore a bowtie, just to fit the part. She carried a single rose with her, and Klaus made sure to have their wedding bands with him.

"I can't believe we're doing this," Klaus said shaking his head with a smile. They were waiting for their turn to go into the chapel. He leaned in and kissed her hard. "I love you."

Bella grinned, the adrenaline of the night just pumping through her. This was crazy, and spontaneous, which was out of character for her, but she loved Klaus, and this was the next big step. Who needed big weddings and thousands of dollars' worth of tulle and flowers, and it just was too much.

Mary was giggling, and it caught Bella's attention, and she looked behind her to see Damon whispering in her ear, smiling. Then Mary nodded, and her eyes latched on to Bella's and she just winked at her.

Bella wasn't sure what they were planning, but she hoped that it wasn't some large party here in Vegas.

Finally, it was Klaus and Bella's turn, and so they entered the chapel, with their whole crew, and the preacher, dressed in elaborate robes made of colorful silks, began their service.

Bella and Klaus faced each other, and she grinned at him, beaming at her soon to be husband, and her heart seemed to skip a beat. He said some vows, and slipped the ring on her finger, and she did the same. The preacher pronounced them, and Klaus leaned in and kissed her, dipping her low, capturing a loud applause from their friends. She was now Mrs. Mikaelson. She was ecstatic, full of joy.

When Damon and Mary stepped up to the altar, Bella's mouth dropped. "No way! Really!"

Mary nodded, and grinned at Damon. He kissed her softly, and then everyone watched as Damon and Mary tied the knot, spontaneously like Klaus and Bella. It was probably the best idea Bella ever had.

The preacher was smiling big. "Okay, are we going three for three?" He joked.

"Sadly, there are only two-"

Jasper cut Bella off. "Well, Rebekah, my dear love. We've been together for about a year now, and I asked you to marry me a couple weeks ago, and you've yet to give me your answer." He was looked at Rebekah. He loved her with everything she was. He knew that she loved him too, but she had been wary of accepting his proposal.

Everyone watched now, looking at Rebekah as she bit her lip, and then she smiled and nodded, her hand in Jasper's. Everyone cheered, including Klaus, watching his little sister get married. So young, but young love was... young love.

Alice and Jeremy smiled, being the only odd people out, but they didn't mind it too much.

They brought the celebration back to the hotel. Sharon was excited for her sister, when Mary and Damon facetimed Sharon and the kids. Mary held up her hand, showing off a diamond ring that Damon had already bought a week prior, planning on popping the question. It was beautiful, teardrop shaped and outlined in other smaller diamonds. It fit her perfectly, and she was surprised that Damon had brought the ring with him on a trip like this, but it was good that he did.

Damon's band was simple. There at the chapel they sold wedding bands and rings, veils, and other keepsakes, that brides and grooms could use.

"We will have a small ceremony for the girls when we get home." Damon promised Mary.

Mary shook her head. "No, this is perfect. A party maybe, but a ceremony isn't necessary. I love you." She murmured to Damon, and kissed him again.

Damon smiled against her lips. "I asked Annabeth if I could marry you. I asked her permission."

"Oh?" Mary looked shocked.

"She told me I could on one condition."

"What was the condition?"

"If I never left your side. That I never go away." Damon murmured.

Mary smiled, and nodded. She knew that Annabeth's condition was because of her late father. He went away, and never returned, and Annabeth didn't want Damon to do that either. "I love you so much more now."

"Well, I also asked her what she thought about me…officially adopting her."

Mary's eyes brightened with tears. "Oh Damon, you don't have to do that."

"But I want to. I want to adopt them, they'll get the inheritance from the Salvatore Legacy, and more. I don't want them to feel like they're not included, and I want them to know that I love them just as much as I love their mother."

Mary swiped at her tears. "That's really amazing. You're amazing. What did she say?"

"She said of course. She would be happy to be my daughter." He teared up, and Mary kissed his cheek.

Bella and Klaus smiled at the moment between Mary and Damon. Bella was especially happy for the couple. She couldn't wait to see what life would bring for them.

"If you excuse me. I'm going to take my wife, to the honeymoon suite. I will see you fancy people later." Klaus said and swooped Bella up in his arms and left, going to the suite that Klaus rented for the night.

The suite was beautiful, red silk sheets, heart shape everything. It was corny, yes, but Bella loved it. He crossed the threshold with her and walked over to the bed and lay her down. He covered her body with his, hovering over her, kissing her deeply, his tongue sweeping in against hers. Their hands pulled each other's clothes off, and this was the first time in months that they were this intimate. Bella's pulse quickened under his touch, as her breast fell free from its restraints. His chest was hard and chiseled, toned beautifully like a Greek god. He was hers, all of hers. Her hands moved over his flesh, and she felt him tremor just from her slight touch.

His hands slid over her body, caressing her in places that made her gasp in pleasure. His thumbs rolled over her nipples as he groped her breast in both hands, his mouth teasing her nipples as they stood erect now, pleasure circling in her belly. She arched against him, wanting his touch everywhere. His mouth trailed, going to her hip, and then the inside of her thigh, where he drug his tongue up and down, sending pleasant shivers through her body. She ached for him. Needed him badly. His tongue found her moist core and it flicked over her clit, a moan shuttering through her as he drove her towards ecstasy. As she started to peak, he was back at her mouth again, his tongue melting with hers as he slid his hot cock inside, his hard tip hitting her center and she exploded around him. The flood gates opened, and she didn't hold back, her moans filling the air around them as he moved inside her. It was slow, deliberate at first, but she urged him on. She needed all of him, no holding back. She moved her hips with his frantically, catching another orgasm as she shifted, getting him on his back. He watched her move atop him like the goddess she was, her hips driving down over his long, hard shaft. He was swelling hard, ready to bust, but she kept going harder, deeper, capturing every bit of him so much, that he was afraid he would break her, but she was moaning, dancing her hips expertly against his. He was so close, his own moan formed on his lips.

"Bella, I'm close…" He said, his voice strained. It had been too long for him, and he wasn't lasting as long as he had hoped.

She leaned in, capturing his lips with hers. She kept twisting her hips to his, feeling her next orgasm peak. "I want you…" She murmured and then she felt him swell tight inside her, and burst open, his seed leaking out, and then she moaned, her last orgasm reaching his, and she moved over him a few more times, hearing his own moans in her ears.

When she came to a stop, her eyes rested on his. They stared at each other a few moments before she spoke. "Are you okay?"

Klaus nodded, realizing that he had tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry. I get emotional sometimes love."

"No…" She murmured softly, leaning down and kissing him. "I love that about you. I love that you get emotional. It's beautiful when we're united like this."

He kissed her, wrapping his arms around her and moving with her. She was on bottom now, and then he was hardening again, kissing her breathless. "I love you so damn much, you make me so crazy."

She giggled under him. "Well, go crazy. Take me Klaus Mikaelson. I want all of you, every bit of you. If we don't make a baby tonight, we're going to try when we get home, all the time, every day."

Klaus paused, leaning up and looking at her. "Is that why…"

She nodded, leaning up and kissing him. "Is that okay with you?"

Klaus kissed her, entering her again, moving his hips to hers. "Yes," he breathed against her lips, and then they were together in pure bliss all night long.
