KLAUS AND KAI STILL DIDN'T LIKE EACH OTHER BUT IT WAS SLOWLY GOING THERE. Baby steps that's what I told myself. Besides, it was not like they had a choice if they both wanted to be in my life they had to be at least civil towards each other.

The werewolf guard outside the twin's room has been killed, and Eva steps into the nursery to stare at Kolina and Kayla, who are laying in their crib.

"But once it's turned your loved ones into enemies, the demon would have consumed you whole."

Having heard the commotion, I enter the twin's nursery. I was paranoid lately and would wake up and check on the twins in their nursery quite often. Klaus would scold me and tell me to go to sleep, reassuring me that they were fine and protected by werewolves' guards. But digs were not enough to protect my babies, I was the one that could protect them. But I was right because I found Rebekah standing over the twin's crib, but she was acting weird. When I see the dead werewolf on the floor, I realize that my instincts that something is definitely wrong, so I lunge at Eva to get her away from my babies. Because it was definitely not Rebekah.

"Get away from them!" I grab Eva by the arm to pull her away siphoning her as she screams in pain. I slam her head on the nearby dresser. Eva falls to the floor as I go to check on the twins worriedly. However before I can grab the twins, Eva telekinetically throws me back away from the twin's bed, where I slam into the back wall.

Klaus storms into the room when he hears the crashing sound from our bedroom. Klaus yells furious "Rebekah! What are you doing?"

Klaus lunges for her, but she casts a pain infliction spell on him. I run back in to take her out, but before I can cast a spell on Eva she attacks me first. She casts another spell on me as well, and I fall to my knees choking as Eva glares at us. Klaus forces himself to lean forward so he can claw a set of deep gashes into her thigh with his fingernails, which causes Eva to scream in pain.

Eva shrieks "Ahhh!" Realizing she's overpowered, Eva lets go of the spell and jumps out the window, leaving Klaus and Elizabeth too busy recovering from her assault to follow her.

We both stare down at the twins, who are sitting calmly in her crib, completely at ease, before giving each other worried looks.

"Woah this girl is totally crazy pants, you were right" exclaims Kai from behind us, making Elizabeth and Klaus turn to him. "I dig it, a lot," he said grinning making Klaus glare at him.

"Hey, that's the twin's stuff" I blurted when I noticed he was eating the twin's food. So he was guilty of the missing food. I was freaking confused when I noticed that it was missing and I had even charged a werewolf with the task to buy some more. And when he did the food was missing once again. This made me freaking mad because I had two babies crying. After all, they were hungry and no food to give them.

"Well, we found our culprit love" snickered Klaus. I had complained to him about the missing food a lot and therefore irritating him. It was foolish matters when he had more to worry about. I had even accused the werewolves and Eva because of her weird obsessions with kids. Who knows what goes into that psycho's children's killer witch mind?

"Oh I didn't know," said Kai innocently making me roll my eyes. What a bad liar he could be sometimes.

"There is literally a baby on the brand" I pointed out irritated.

"Oh right, it makes sense...but that stuff is really good. You should try it" he said making Klaus scoff behind me. Kai had always a weird taste in food, he would literally eat jam with his hands for dinner.

I grimaced. "No thanks"

"Oh, right you drink blood now. That's kinky," smirked Kai.

I sighed exhausted, as it was late. "Kai I already told you if you need anything like food you can ask to the werewolves and add it to the list but don't take the twin's food, please. Or I can give you money if you need to buy something. You can even ask Eli or Nick anything" I proposed to Kai.

"So the doggies are our little slaves?" he asked grinning. I actually saw a smile forming on Klaus's lips at my brother's statement. "I like it"

"Ugh, I guess but don't say that in front of Hayley" I warned him, knowing it would annoy her instantly. And lately, since her wedding with Jackson, we had drifted away. I don't know how it happened but she was even more about the pack which was irritating me. And she also was all about saving lives and being good people. Which I definitely wasn't.

I didn't do the right thing and the only thing I cared about right now was killing Dahlia so that my babies are safe. A guilty conscience could go fuck herself because I liked myself just the way I was.

I was in the compound with Klaus, Marcel, and Hayley in Klaus's study. He's pulling a pair of the magic-canceling manacles that Kol's witches enchanted into dark objects in 1914. I wondered if those would actually work on me considering I could maybe siphon the magic off those manacles.

"I should really stop packing these away. There's always one family member or another in need of a good shackling," says Klaus sarcastically making me laugh loudly.

Klaus, Hayley, and Marcel glare at me annoyed that I would laugh when Rebekah's life was in danger. I just couldn't stop myself. "Sorry it's just" I chuckled again "it just sounds so dirty, Sweet Alabama"

Klaus rolls his eyes. He hands the manacles to Marcel "Find Rebekah-- or Eva, or whoever the bloody hell that was-- use these to stop her from doing magic. And don't hurt her. The non-psychopathic bits are still my sister."

Marcel responds worried "Alright, I won't be the only one looking for her. She killed witch-kids. The twenty-four hour hold that Elijah got the covens to agree to? Ended at midnight. Every witch in the city is gonna be gunning for her."

Damn our little Eva was really popular apparently. Marcel quickly leaves the compound to help Rebekah.

Klaus sighs and turns to Hayley "Go to Elijah. Get her to charm his elderly witch into calling off the hunt."

Hayley responds annoyed "And leave Kolina? Don't you think I should stay here and help Elizabeth protect my Goddaughter?"

It was mostly because she didn't want to see Elijah after her wedding, she was just using my daughter as an excuse. I don't think they talked or seen each other since the wedding. Besides, I think I could protect my daughter on my own and I even had Kai with me.

"Jackson has been working night and day to secure this compound, surrounding it with his werewolf army. Not to mention the fact that I'm here as well as their mother, and I know the best way to protect my child is to get Rebekah out of that serial killer's body and back into the original model." Klaus says frustrated. Couldn't Hayley do what he asked her for once? He had more urgent matters to deal with.

Hayley was not pleased by this "Hmm. And, what will you be doing while we're out doing all the dirty work?"

"Why, tending to the even dirtier work, as usual," Klaus smirks evilly. I knew that smirk he had a devilish plan right now.

Hayley rolls her eyes and speeds off the compound to help Elijah with the witches leaving both of us alone.

I laugh once "There are just some dirty images popping inside my head. Hum, I wonder what's your dirty work" I teased him.

"Oh, you know the usual, tormenting my siblings. I'm going to have a lovely chat with Freya and if she doesn't comply with my wishes... Hum as I can't kill her I'll have maybe...hum to skin her alive, sounds pretty painful. If you have any recommendations I'm all ears"

I rolled my eyes, although I couldn't help myself but smile "Good luck with your dirty work. Sounds fun, especially the torture part"

Klaus smiles and speeds out to me. He grabs me, his hand on my lower back making me chuckle. Suddenly he kisses me making me giggle "Nicky you surprised me"

I was mostly the one taking the initiative to kiss him, although he took control under the sheets. And since we fought about Camille he didn't want to initiate anything fearing I would think he only wanted me for sex. So his sudden attention surprised me.

"I miss you," he said while gently putting my hair behind my ear.

I frown not understanding "But I've been back In new Orleans for almost two months. We see each other every day" my eyes widen "oh you mean you miss us sleeping together. I know it's been a while but with the twins and now Kai I really don't have the time or energy. But what about-"

"No, it's not that" he cut her off not wanting her to get the wrong idea "I just want to spend some time you with you, love. Just the two do us with no distractions or enemies trying to kill us"

I smiled at the thought "That sounds nice"

It sounded really really nice. Maybe we could even have some vacation after all this mess was over. Just Me, him and the twins.

It was true that we haven't just hung out or talk normally in a while. Things were really heretic right now, and we kinda forgot about us. Although that didn't change our feelings for each other, but it was annoying. And we both were irritated pretty easily considering some lunatic immortal witch wanted to steal our daughter and enslave her.

"When Dahlia is defeated I shall take you to dinner. I'm sure our siblings will be delighted to take care of the twins"

I smiled when he mentioned our siblings not just his. He was still bickering with Kai and threatening to kill him. But I guess he accepted that he was my brother and he wasn't going anywhere.

"Nothing fancy and romantic you know I hate that stuff" I informed him pouting.

"I won't take you to Macdonalds or some fast food, love" he rolled his eyes "Your a queen and you deserve to be treated as such"

A queen, that made my heart melt and that bastard knew it.

"Okay okay, whatever you want I won't mind." I sighed annoyed "Ugh crap, you make me all lovey-dovey."

Klaus grinned "I have been known to have that effect on women"

"It's bloody annoying" I complained mimicking his accent making him chuckle.

"Hey, how was the witchy meeting go? Because they can be a real pain in the ass. Oh, and they are so judgmental." I said as I took Hayley's call.

"It was okay but actually I wanted to talk to you about-"

She sounded kinda angry actually, maybe something had gone wrong.

"-Oh did you find blondie?" I cut her off.

"Not that. It's not important. Elijah he's sleeping with that baby vampire"

"Oh good for him, he needs to get laid"

So Gia the new hot vampire was his new girlfriend. Hum interesting.

"What? You can't be serious!"

I sighed "Hayley I know you guys have history. I literally made Halijah happen but... you're married now. You can't hold him back especially when I hear you confess your love to Jackson it's not fair for Elijah"

"But... I don't like seeing him with her. I still love him and I feel like he moved on way too fast.."

"I know it's hard but he deserves to be happy and from the little, he told me about her, he's happy with her so don't ruin that. Please, Hayley."

"What the hell I'm not ruining anything!"

"Didn't you did a jealousy scene when you found out about that? Yeah, I know you pretty well." I said when she stayed silent "You can complain to me all you want but not to Elijah. You know how he is...and you'll make him feel guilty for being happy."

"But-" she protested but I cut her off.

"Look you told him you can't be together so he can see other people, Period. Just suck it up buttercup, you made your decision and you can't have both" I said annoyed not wanting to talk to her anymore. I hung up before she could respond.

I was with Gia are in the nursery, rocking a screaming and crying Kayla in a rocking chair while Kolina was on the ground calmly playing with her toys. Gia was helping to organize the twin's nice toys, which was a nice thing to do.

She was definitely Hot, so I could see what Elijah saw in her, he had good taste. Before being with Klaus, I would definitely hit on her and show her the wonders of sleeping with Elizabeth Parker.

"Ugh, this place smells like werewolf," complains Gia making me chuckle. It was true, it smelled like doggies and Kai had the same remark this morning even though he's not a vampire.

"Oh yeah, those doggies are everywhere. But they do everything I ask them...Why are you here? Not that I mind but did Elijah asked you to watch me or something?" I asked curiously.

I was glad that she was here since I could finally meet Elijah's secret girlfriend, but I wanted first to know if she had some motives or something. I mean we never know, although my instinct told me she was cool and I could trust her.

Gia walks toward us with Kolina's music box in her hand "Elijah says you and your kids have more than one enemy. If someone manages to make it through that dog-show outside, you and the babies run, I stay and stall them."

"Dude you don't even know me," I said now confused. "And those enemies could like kill you in a second. Don't you value your life?" I asked her frowning. Call me dumb but I didn't understand risking your life for someone you don't know. I guess the baby situation makes people sympathetic.

Gia pauses for a moment "I don't have to know you. I know Elijah, and I know what you mean to him. And what those babies mean to him."

I exclaim faking awkward "He... talks about me with you? God, I always knew he had the hots for me. I mean I don't mind...but I have a thing with his brother. Oh no now it's going to be awkward every time I see him now"

Gia's eyes widen "Oh no... Not like that I mean I think he has a thing with your friend but-"

I cut her off seeing her distress "I'm joking gotcha!"

Gia smiles awkwardly "Oh" she laughed "You scared me for a minute"

"Yep, that's all me. I mean Elijah is well...a hot piece of meat, he's a gentleman and has good sarcasm. Oh and the way he fights is awesome...Uncle Elijah is awesome Right Kayla?" I asked my daughter who giggled on my lap "But I have a thing for his brother and like juggling between brothers is eww and a little incestuous." I grimaced "I mean once I had a threesome with twins sisters, but it was only once!" I defended myself and changed the subject "Anyway your really nice"

"Oh, Thanks" Gia smiled.

"I don't mean it as a compliment, nice people get killed. You should watch your back" I warned her, a little too harshly surprising her. I said more softly "It's just you sound like a cool girl and Elijah doesn't have much luck with women, they mostly die or-"

"Or get married like your hybrid friend"

"Yep...did he talk to you about Hayley?" I asked "because that would be lame from him. Rule number one don't talk about your ex"

Gia laughs nervously "No... but, I'm not blind. It's pretty obvious she had the guy all bent out of shape. Look, after she got married, we started hanging out. He was just so... wound up." my poor Eli, he deserved dome happiness too. I should have checked on him more after the wedding. The chocolate I was sending him every day with a bad joke to make him smile wasn't enough "I guess it must be tough to spend a thousand years being the shoulder everyone else leans on. Maybe he... just needs to live his life for himself, for once."

I nodded, completely agreeing with her "Yeah that's what I also think, the poor guy needs some happiness. It's like he's punishing himself sometimes so I'm glad he found you. Your easy, I think that's why he likes being with you that much-" my eyes widen when I realize this could come out wrong "hum I didn't mean like that it came out the wrong way." I chuckle "Sorry, it's just I'm bad at human interaction and say a lot of things people don't like."

"That's what Elijah told me about you. That you were a good friend, but that you are an odd but person-in a good way" she reassured me "He told me to never take too much to heart what you said, that you never mean to hurt people's feelings-well except people you don't like of course that's normal-Oh I don't mean to insinuate that you like me-"

"Oh of course I like you. You make my boy Elijah happy, your hot and nice even if I don't think that's a compliment usually." I complimented her while being totally honest. I was just stating facts after all.

Then I clarified what I said earlier "What I meant when I said you were easy, is that there is always drama with Hayley, and she always gets mad at him for some things that are out of his control. And then he gets so sad and all broody." I complained "But sometimes you love things that are without drama, that are easy...like I dunno it's annoying to always fight. I hate fighting, I just want to have fun you know...Sometimes you find love and passion in the simplest things. " God, what had Klaus done to me? Since when I was all romantic and stuff. I wanted to barf at myself for saying things like that "And he's been happy lately like I knew he was seeing someone immediately"

Before Gia could answer Kai came into the room interrupting us. "Oh hi stranger," said Kai waving to Gia as he entered the room, food in his hand. He was always eating something.

"That's Eli's girlfriend" I inform Kai who didn't care much. He went to sit next to Kolina who was on the floor on a blanket.

Gia blushed "Oh no we're not.. I mean we didn't made it official so," she said awkwardly.

"Trust me girl he likes you a lot" I reassured her. I didn't really know if they were endgame or whatever but he was happy right now with her and she was a cool girl so I was supporting it. "And your definitely his girlfriend or his girl. I don't know if he likes labels, but your not just some short fling, Eli doesn't have those. He only has meaningful relationships"

Gia smiled at me, and suddenly looked at phone which buzzed. "Hey I got a call from Elijah I have to leave, if you need anything you can call me" said Gia while looking at her phone.

"Okay, later Gigi. Good luck with your lover boy" I responded to the vampire and Kai waved at her before she left the room.

"Another mutt?" asked Kai about Gia grinning as he tickled Kolina who chuckled and was babbling some incomprehensible words like "kibabou" or "nanan" whatever that meant.

"Nope, she's a vampire, a new one" I informed him.

"Hum cool, the doggies are too brooding" he complained "I asked them to bring me things like you said they would, but they were like" he mimicked a rough voice "I don't take orders from you, only my doggie Alpha Jacky" so I siphoned him and then I killed him-"

"What?" I yelled in disbelief.

Kai frowns at me "I killed the naughty doggie. Have you got hearing problems or something? because now that you're a vamp you should hear me perfectly"

"Ugh I heard you," I said and let out a frustrated sigh "Crap Hayley is going to get mad at me" and she was going to get even more annoying than before. "What did you do with the body?" I asked.

Kai frowns once again confused "I left it there..? Was I supposed to do something else?"

"Yes!" I yelled surpising Kayla who started to cry, still on my lap. I smoothed her and told him more calmly "If anyone asks you say he attacked you so it was self-defense. Okay?"

"Gotcha sissy even if it's boring," Kai said pouting.

"I know... But just don't kill any more wolves until we defeat Dahlia after that-Kai don't give her jam" I scold him when I noticed he was giving jam to Kolina "there too much sugar in it and they're too young" I complained.

Kai rolls his eyes "But look she likes it. Besides they are super-babies so she won't die because she ate jam. Oh and if she does she'll come back as a baby vampire" he laughed "but it would be literal with her. Not like those new vampire they call baby vamp"

I send him an annoyed glare and Kai rolled his eyes, but he still put the jam away and stopped giving it to my daughters. He takes Kolina in his arms and goes to sit next to me.

"Okay, so I found an awesome plan to get rid of our Gemini problem. You'll see the plan is super-duper awesome." Kai tells me excited "I do the merge with JoJo, of course, I win. But then you turn me into a vampire like you and I live forever with you and the twinsis. Plus poof at the same time were rid of the coven foreverrrr. It's perfect, right? I know it is because I'm awesome at making evil plans, like super-duper awesome"

"Yeah, and my daughters die too in your super-duper plan. But it's still awesome" I said sarcastically as well as annoyed.

Kai's eyes widen "Oh, right I forgot about them. Sorry little munchkins," he said looking at the twins "Then we just have to add removing the link in our revenge list. See problem solved"

"We are only following your plans if the twins are unlinked. Got it?" I said firmly, no way my daughters would die. I mean his plan was a good idea except for the part obviously about my babies dying. We could be rid of this awful coven forever, it would be a dream coming true.

Kai nodded "Okayyy I don't want the munchkins to die. They are way too cute anyway" He said as he made funny faces to the twins making them laugh.

"Freya is duplicitous!" Klaus yelled for the third time in a row "She aims at destroying me by putting you, everybody against me. She said so herself. We can't bloody trust her"

Apparently, Freya had been in his head and had threatened him to turn his siblings and even myself against him.

"Nick," I said but he ignored me. His ranting was getting repetitive. But I guess it was good that he trusted me and informed me of his fears. I knew he wasn't really a trusting person so it was definitely progress.

"No-I know you trust her, but she's a bloody liar. She won't to take everything from me." he shook his head "No I won't allow it. I need to find a plan-something to get rid of her. And quickly before she-"

I interrupted him once again. He couldn't continue ranging like this for another ten minutes. "Nicky I might trust Freya, but I trust you more" Klaus smiled at my statement. "Don't worry you'll always have me no matter what, I'll always choose you," I reassured him. Although I might trust Freya to be on our side, in the end, I'll always trust Klaus especially when it came to saving our daughter. He knew what was best.

"I don't know what I did to deserve such a wonderful woman," said Klaus smiling brightly. He took my hand and kissed it making me roll my eyes at him. He knew I hated romantic stuff like this and did it to tease me, the bastard!

"Hum, I love you compliments." I told him "but I have some limits if you hurt my brother or hurt me, like I don't know you cheat on me or something I won't forgive you. I have some self-respect"

Klaus sighed "I may not like your brother, but I won't hurt him unless I'm defending myself. And it would be bloody ridiculous to even look at another woman with lust when I have you. My love, so bright, so beautiful, so strong-willed and-"

He was interrupted by Kai entering the room without knocking "Hey sissy"

"Can you just leave us bloody alone!" exclaims Klaus annoyed. Her brother interrupted every movement between them, and Klaus knew the bastard did it on purpose. On top of that Elizabeth never refused him anything.

"Where is his leash?" asked Kai smirking.

Klaus was fuming. "Can't you see we are busy in matters that don't involve you"

"What did I interrupted something naughty?"

"Kai" I scolded him when I saw how mad Klaus was. Better not make him even madder. Kai raises an eyebrow so I explain myself "It's just we were talking about important stuff" and Klaus was dealing with his fear of betrayal so I had to reassure him.

Kai raises an eyebrow "Oooh sounds important I want to know"

"Oh it's just Nick doesn't trust his newfound older sister," I said and I heard Klaus groaning irritated that I spilled the beans. "He thinks she'll take his siblings away from him and that wouldn't be complicated since he likes putting them coffins and stabbing them and stuff..."

"Hum kinky...the new sissy, her name is Frezza right?"

"Freya" corrected Klaus annoyed.

Kai furrows his eyebrows "That what I said, right sissy? Anyway, I meet her today she's really pretty but kinda scary...I thought she was going to break my neck or like turn me into a fog. Super stressful moment of my life. Kinda gave me goosebumps. Do you think she's into sacrificial and blood magic? because that would be super hot"

Klaus chuckled while I sighed "Just don't piss her off Kai please. She's like super powerful-"

"And she has a Mikelson temper" added Klaus with a smirk.

"Yep and Hayley already doesn't like you because you killed that doggie-"

I had to channel my best acting skills and yell at her that I saw the wolf attack Kai and almost killed my poor brother. I acted super mad that someone hurt my brother when it was the contrary, but hey better accuse first than being accused right. It works better to look innocent. I had also hit Kai, so he had a busted lip. We had to make it more believable somehow. I don't know if she believed me, but she definitely didn't like Kai now. And she like warned me that if it happened again the pack would have to take care of him. As if I would let those dogs kill my brother.

"It was you?" cut me off Klaus, looking at Kai "She bloody accused me!"

"Uh, not surprising... It sounds like something you would do." I said and a big smile appeared on my face. "See your both very alike, you should get along!" I told the two men in the room.

Both men grimaced at me, huh baby steps I guess.
