Tenth century:
Esther is pregnant with Elijah, both Freya and Finn are five. Esther is shouting at the retreating black haired woman taking freya away from her family. Finn is crying into his mom's dress as the snow and wind whip around them.

Present:
Henrik wakes up as he is looking around his room he notices that there is dust over the bookcases, shelves, dresser, and chairs. He closes his eyes and get visions of Marcel as a kid this was his room.
When he leaves his room he discovers that the house is dead quiet he thought there would be noises people talking but nothing. He finds people downstairs cleaning the house and in the kitchen cooking breakfast. All the people are compelled to only talk if they see a person in the house and if they are not in the house they know nothing about this house or it inhabits. One of the people cleaning sees him " Are you a guest of the Mikaelson family?"
" No I'm a Mikaelson."
She goes over to one of the cupboards and gets a glass then one of the drawers and pulls out a knife and as she is ready to slice her wrist Henrik grabs the knife. " I'm not a vampire, wait my siblings make you slice their wrist to feed them."
The woman doesn't answer instead she goes back to cleaning while someone else puts a plate with a couple pancakes in front of him.

Caroline stretches in Klaus' bed and instead of her hand hitting Klaus it hits nothing. She leans up and sees his sketchbook open on the table with a drawing of her asleep but he's not sitting on the couch. She looks around the room and she's the only one in there.
She pokes her head in Hope's nursery she knows he tortures himself by being in here, empty. Before she leaves their room she grabs her Victoria secret fashion show silk kimono to put over her pajama shorts and tank top.
While she's looking Enzo wakes up and finds her she informs him of what Damon and her discussed last night.
She finally finds Klaus coming out of Elijah's study followed by Kol and Rebekah. He sees her and smiles "We need to talk."
"Is everything ok?"
"Yeah." He whispers in her ear. "It's about Henrik."
Caroline nods and he guides her by the hand back into Elijah's study.

"Tatia I'm sorry I'm sorry I didn't mean it. It was an accident."
Katherine is awakened by Elijah talking in his sleep. She shakes him until he awakes when he does awake she informs him. " It's rude to be in bed with me and dreaming about another Petrova doppelgänger. If you dream about Elena instead of waking you up I'm snapping your neck."
"It's not what you think I saw Tatia covered in blood running down a white hallway at the end of the hallway she is pounding on a red door. I killed Tatia I killed your ancestor."
Katherine is not used to this whinny Elijah who can't handle people he's killed she doesn't like it. "You need to snap out of it. You are not the man I fell in love with and have been in love with for the last five hundred years. It's all mental Elijah you need to get out of your head and focus on the here and now."
Elijah nods he takes a minute before speaking. " If my red door issues are mental brought on by my mother what should I focus on. How my mother wants to turn my siblings human, my father wants us dead, The witches want my niece dead, and since giving birth my nieces mother has been emotionally unhinged plus she has tried to kill my brothers girlfriend multiple times and when she find out your alive she will try to kill you too."
"Please I can handle a emotionally unhinged hybrid so can Caroline she learned from the best. She goes after me it will be the last person she goes after."
"You would kill Hayley? After the sadness you went through with Nadia."
Katherine getting out of the bed to go over to the bathroom to shower. "It's different. After Nadia was taken from me I didn't try to kill everyone. She choose to leave the compound and take solace in the bayou I was banished from Bulgaria to England. I never tried to kill the woman who raised Nadia. Unlike Hayley after I became a vampire I went back to Bulgaria and searched for my daughter. She became a vampire and secluded herself to the bayou, she has tried to kill Caroline who loves Hope and any one of us would do anything sweet little girl."
Elijah realizes where this conversation went wrong and tries to fix it. " Katerina-"
Katherine turns around fiercely " Don't I'm here to help you and you compare me to former lovers. If they are so much better then call them and they can help you. I have other things I could be doing right now."

"What is the plan?"
After locking the study door Klaus faces Caroline who is behind him concerned. " I need you to take him to the safe house."
Klaus sees her trying to hide a smile and a I knew it look on her face. "What?"
"Oh nothing just you want me to take Henrik to the safe house the same safe house that has Hope, Elijah, Katherine and Nadia in. You knew you had to leave yesterday but you weren't comfortable leaving Hope with Elijah who at the moment is ill, you don't trust Katherine or Nadia at all, You don't trust them with Hope, Elijah or even me. And you want me to take Henrik your resurrected little brother who you blame yourself for his death to the safe house that you weren't comfortable leaving Hope in. So the only time you trust Katherine and Nadia is to take care of Henrik."
Klaus glares at her like she is one of his victims and she just spat in his face. " I will never trust Katerina nor her daughter. The only reason Hope is there is because of Esther once I kill her I am bringing her here. It was you who helped keep Katerina alive behind my back. Katerina cares about Katerina not you or her daughter will change that."
"Will you stop and listen to me people change you did. You told me stories of when you were human you never once thought of killing, being feared, torture all you wanted to do was paint and carve trinkets out of wood. Now you still paint but you kill you love being feared and you torture. Katherine changed when you met her she was scared she just had Nadia her parents banished her from Bulgaria and she found her way to your birthday party. Of course she ran you were going to kill her, if I was the doppelgänger and found out you were going to kill me I would run too. The morning after Rebekah hid Hope I was packing my car to come here Katherine came out of the house to see how everything was going her first question was about Elijah the second question was how is Klaus daughter. I told her everything I knew. Right there in our driveway next to my pink convertible bug Katherine pierce aka Katerina Petrova your number two enemy second only to Mikael of course, who is at that time still running from you proclaimed that she is Hope's aunt she is a member of Hope's family. Without Katherine or Nadia who would take care of Elijah or Hope who would you send Cami? I can see it now Cami playing board games with Elijah who is super annoyed with her that he uses any excuse to get away from her. Like building a fence outside and you know Elijah doesn't like to get his suits dirty if he can help it."
Klaus leaning against the arm of the couch glances up at her he knows she is right if he sent Cami to watch Elijah it would be a bad idea but he does not trust Katerina or her daughter and he does not believe they've changed no matter what Caroline says.

Rebekah and Kol are headed to the kitchen when they hear a heartbeat they know there are humans In the kitchen but this is coming from some where else in the house. They both look at each other and nod, they follow the sound of the heartbeat and it's coming from the library.
Kol is about to go in when Rebekah thinks he's taking to long and pushes him aside. Even though what they find is completely normal it still make them gasp, its Henrik looking through one of Esther's grimoire's, they still are in shock that Henrik is alive.
"We thought you were still asleep."
Henrik shakes his head. "I was dead and in the same place for a thousand years. I want to be awake and see everything."
Rebekah puts her arm around Henrik's shoulders "Come on We're are having breakfast as a family to welcome you back."
As they are leaving the library Rebekah mentions "You want to see everything you can check off surviving earthquakes. The one yesterday was weird it came out of no where and stoped as quick as it begin. It was almost like when the harvest magic was exploding out of Davina."
"Wait."
Rebekah stops talking and looks over at Kol who was watching Henrik while Rebekah was talking, when she mentioned the weird earthquake yesterday Henrik looked down and had a guilty look on his face.
Kol looks down at Henrik he is amazed that he could produce that kind of magic. Kol always thought of himself as the prodigal magic son but maybe it was really Henrik. " Did you start that earthquake yesterday?"
Henrik avoids his siblings questioning looks." Yes. It wasn't like what Rebekah was talking about, I wasn't aware I could do that. I was mad those people that came here yesterday the brown haired one snapped Freya's neck. This is our home they were trying to get in they incapacitated my sister and didn't care she was coming for me next, I had to do something so with Freya's head in my lap I closed my eyes, balled my fists and yelled which resulted in snapping everyone's neck and shaking the city."
Kol smiles like the proud big brother he is. " You are truly a mikaelson."
Rebekah and Kol walk forward but Henrik stays back and looks up at their retreating bodies. "You thought I was lying about who I am?"
"You've been dead for millennium and you suddenly show up with a mysterious blonde woman claiming to be our long lost sister. Plus in the last few months other members of our family have resurrected some in other bodies so you can see our apprehension."

A thousand years ago:
Freya looks around and she's alone and for years now she has been dreaming of escaping her situation. One more look around and she runs up the dirt hill and onto the dirt road trying desperately to get away and to find anyone who will take her in. After what feels like she's been running for hours she finds a guy buying food from a cart." You to help me."
The young brown haired guy runs over to Freya who is about to pass out from all the running. " my lady are you ok"
Freya shakes her head no she's barely gets out. " I need you to hide me please."
the guy carries her to his horse " I will help you."
Freya looking around in fear that Dahlia will appear at any moment. " I'm Freya"
" Lucien."
Lucien sneaks her into the De Martels castle and up to his room " You can share my room I would give you your own room but I'm just a servant."
Freya nods and looks around she's never had a bedroom before, Dahlia moves them around so often because Dahlia keeps killing villagers. They usually live in a tent. So this room yes it is small but there is a bed and a place to bath plus Lucien is being so generous sharing his living quarters with her. " This is perfect thank you for saving me."
Lucien nods and leaves to do his duties.

Present:
After his shower Elijah looks down at the jeans, grey tee shirt and sports jacket on the bed then at the closet with suits.
Katherine smiles at the scene before her Nadia sitting on the floor of the living room playing with Hope who is smiling.

Klaus and Caroline have joined everyone at the dinning room table for breakfast. Henrik has chosen to sit between Kol and Rebekah who have Davina and Stefan on their other side. He looks around and notices that each sibling is having their own conversation with the person sitting next to them. The woman from early in the morning who almost sliced her wrist is placing glasses of red liquid that he knows is blood in front of everyone except Davina. While other people are placing actual food on the table. The person sitting across and diagonal to him he doesn't know, the person sitting diagonal to him is in heavy conversation with Klaus.
He over hears Klaus conversation "Say it you might feel better, and if you don't I will."
"I'm never going to say it, my mouth can't even form the words."
Caroline rolls her eyes she knows she's right she just wants Klaus to admit it she is right and he is wrong.
"Who are you?"
Enzo's eyes widen at Henrik's question he was talking with Stefan and Rebekah when Henrik asked. Instead of Enzo answering its Klaus " With how tired everyone was and everything there are introductions that need to be made. Henrik this is my lovely queen Caroline, next to her is her friend Enzo. On my left is Rebekah's boyfriend and my friend Stefan and next to Kol is his girlfriend Davina."
Henrik looks around the table and someone is missing. " Where's Elijah?"
"Yes about that you see Esther has once again come back like the last time she plans to make us human she took Elijah and messed his head up. After days of searching for him I found him and rescued him we sent him to a safe house while he works out how to fix his head. Now Rebekah Kol and I talked about it this morning and we think it's best if you go stay with Elijah so Esther or Mikael can't find you and use you. Caroline is leaving today I've asked her to take you to Elijah she said yes."
Henrik looks around the table it is mostly filled with strangers and the three people he does know are sending him away. He is powerful he could help his siblings take care of their parents. He's seen what their parents have done to his siblings and it's horrible. He knows their mother was just trying to protect them by turning them into vampires after his death but having them hunted and trying to kill them is just awful, at times it was hard to watch his siblings so scared for their lives.
" Don't I get a say on where I should go?"
"Henrik as the oldest Mikaelson here its my decision and we as a family have decided that you will stay with Elijah until we deal with Mikael and Esther. It wont be long."
Kol chimes in" Funny you say as the oldest Mikaelson since even when Elijah is here you still think your word is law."
Klaus growls at Kol while Caroline places a her fingers on Klaus arm to calm him while saying " Kol please and don't forget you have to help me figure out how to take down the anti magic barrier in Mystic Falls."
" That's right I'll come home with you help you figure it out. After I figure it out all we need is a witch and I doubt the Bennett witch will help, Davina has school and Henrik will be at the safe house so pray tell who are you going to get to preform this spell."
Caroline hadn't planned that far while shes thinking of something to say Stefan speaks up " I might know someone buts its risky."
With everyone's eyes on him he continues " The night Damon and Bonnie appeared in the Salvatore crypt and announced they were back they brought someone with them named Kai Parker. According to Damon he's insane. There are prison worlds where its the same day over and over again. When the other side collapsed Damon and Bonnie were sent to 1994 Mystic Falls where they met Kai who was a prisoner there. The only way out was for Kai and Bonnie to join their magic together."
" So there is a 1994 prisoner with magic loose on the outskirts of Mystic Falls since if he went in Mystic Falls he would loose his magic. Why? Well lets add catch him to the list of things we have to do seriously this list just keeps getting longer."
Klaus puts a hand on Caroline's back they all have a lot on their plates most of it is the same stuff but still its a lot. " Damon is living at Whitmore with Elena and Bonnie he's been texting me how they're doing. They are not making any progress."
" Of course they are not making any progress the Bennett witch is at best a subpar witch when she is not being possessed by Silas and expression magic. I've seen the barrier and Davina's gone through it, I stuck my hand in it that is one powerful barrier its going to take a powerful witch to take it down."
"As I went through it I felt a tingle all over my body. I've never felt anything like that before. It was like I was being stripped of everything."
Kol places his arm around Davina's shoulders and rubs her arm. She smiles at him.

After breakfast Caroline, Enzo and Kol put their luggage in Kol's Lamborghini. Henrik is looking at the black sports car he is not sure of what to make of this thing. Rebekah comes up to him. " I'm going to miss you. Like Nik said we need to take care of Mikael and Esther then you can come home and we can be a family."
" The people at breakfast were not family they were strangers. Your sending me away and you send me with Kol and strangers."
Rebekah brings him over to the chairs and sits him down on the couch while she sits on the table in front of him." They are our family too. A lot has happened in the last thousand years as you've seen. Nik loves Caroline and for some reason she loves him too, they make each other better. I've finally found love with Stefan and he's find acceptance of who he is. As for Kol he met Davina while they were both dead they've helped each other. Even Elijah found someone Katerina Petrova we met her in 1492. Elijah fell in love with her and they have been in a tumultuous relationship for the last five hundred years but there have been new factors brought up so they are less tumultuous."
"Your sending me to Elijah and his girlfriend while they figure out what they are?"
"Um and Katerina's daughter too. I'm sorry Henrik it wont be that long."

A thousand years ago:
Over the next couple of months Lucien and Freya become close and have formed not only a friendship but a relationship.
One day Lucien walks into his room and finds Freya crying on their bed he quickly runs over to her and kneels in front of her reaching up and wiping her tears. " What's wrong love?"
Freya still crying what is happening to her is awful she vowed it would never happen but here she is. " I think I'm pregnant."
Lucien looks at her his smiling is beaming with joy at this news. "This is wonderful why are you crying though, we can start a family away from all of this."
Freya looks at down at him it is hurting her that she can not be so happy for this news and share in the joy with Lucien. " This is terrible when you found me I was running away from my aunt if she finds out she will take our baby."
Lucien brings her hands up to his lips and leaves a peck on them." Nobody is going to take our baby. "
Six months later Lucien walks into his room Freya is asleep, she has slept a lot since she has got pregnant it's more to do with stress then their baby. He bends down next to her and gently wakes her up. " I have to leave."
" What do you mean where are you going?"
Lucien sitting on the bed next to her" The count is making me escort the count de guise here for a lengthy stay. I will be back in a couple days."
Before he leaves he kisses Freya's baby bump and her.

Present:
Caroline is making sure she has everything from Klaus' room when she hears a knock on the door when she turns its Davina. " Before we left the safe house Klaus told me you wanted to be an original I'm not doing anything without your confirmation."
" We talked about it last night I decided I do want to be an original. I was thinking why just make me an original what makes me more important then say you, Katherine or even Stefan. Let's make them us all originals."
"If they say yes I'll do the spell."
Caroline puts her arms around Davina " You are amazing I'm so happy we are family. Text when I'm not here."
" You are incredible and I've never thought I would have a family and I'm happy you have included me in yours. Of course I'll text, give Hope a kiss for me."
" Of course."
Xxx
Caroline is in the kitchen pouring blood bags into a water bottles. When she hears. " If when we get Hope back and everything is ok with her I might trust Katerina a sliver and that is all."
She turns around to face Klaus leaning in the doorway " Then you will say it."
Klaus nods. Caroline smiles licks her finger as some blood rolled down the bag onto her finger. " When is Freya coming?"
"I don't know all she said was I'll see you tomorrow you've been driving all day."
" Freya wants family just as much as you want family maybe you'll like her."
Klaus is following her out to Kol's car when he replies." I doubt it and Rebekah wants to be included in the meeting as well."
Caroline reaches up and pecks him on the lips " I love you."
" I love you too."
Xxx
Henrik has never been in a car so when Caroline who is going to the passengers side of the car reaches for the handle and the door goes up he jumps back. " I know this car is over dramatic but that's who your family is.." She says this next part direct at the other siblings."THEY ARE A BUNCH OF DRAMA QUEENS."
She gets a smirk from Klaus, a laugh from Rebekah and Kol rolls his eyes it's his car she's making of he picked it out himself. Kol sticks his head of the car and puts his arms on the roof. "Last call everyone who is leaving Nola get in the Lamborghini."
Xxx
Nadia is observant like her mother so if something is wrong she can sense it. She watched as Elijah came downstairs and tried to talk with Katherine who ignored him and took Hope to the kitchen to make her breakfast. When they sat down for breakfast Elijah sat next to Katherine and she recoiled when he brushed her hand when he reaches for the knife to cut a banana for Hope.
After Elijah leaves the kitchen Nadia sits next to her mom. " What is going on the since you've reunited you haven't been able to keep your hands off each other and now your recoiling when his fingers brush yours."
"We had an argument and he was wrong but he doesn't see what he did was wrong."
"You have to be patient he's going through a lot. You can clearly see he loves you and only you."
Katherine picking up hope from her booster seat at the table and placing her in her lap. "I know and I love him too, I'm trying to be patient but it's hard when he says another woman's name in bed."
Xxx
Freya enters the Compound courtyard looking around for anybody when she hears from a balcony on the second floor. " If your looking for Henrik you just missed him."
She looks up and sees Klaus with a glass of blood. " Where is he what did you do with him?"
Klaus is a taken back by this accusation he has spent the last thousand years punishing himself for letting Henrik come with him that night to see the wolves change and now that Henrik is alive he is being accused of hurting him.
He walks back inside without responding to her. He walks past Rebekah and Stefan talking with each other and mentions. "Your new sister is outside claiming I did something to Henrik."
Rebekah looks over at Stefan who is next to her they have a silent conversation ending by them both nodding. Rebekah leaves a kiss on his cheek and leaves to go see Freya while Stefan gets up to talk with Klaus. "We think it's best if we take the lead on questioning Freya."
Klaus rolls his eyes it's a good idea but he doesn't even want to be in the room but he has to.
Xxx
Passing through Mississippi Henrik can not hold his silence anymore. He has to know about these new people entering his family. "Do you love my brother?"
With the question out there, it disturbed the silence in the car. Kol glances at Caroline waiting for her to answer " Yeah I do. It scares me because I've never been in this type of a relationship before. He is my last love."
Henrik turns to Enzo " So your a friend of Caroline who is dating Klaus. How did you find yourself here being involved with my family?"
"Caroline invited me to join her friend group and move in with her. I met Klaus when I came to New Orleans to visit Caroline over the summer."
Xxx
Kol pulls up the driveway of the safe house and sees Katherine sitting on the porch swing. "I don't care where your going I'm coming with you when you leave."
Caroline and Kol look at each other and Caroline mouths "twenty four hours."
Kol nods. " Less then twenty hours, Rebekah owes me a thousand dollars."
As they are getting out of the car Caroline raises her eyebrows seriously they bet on this. "When we were driving back to New Orleans I said Katherine and Elijah wouldn't make it past a day without us. Rebekah who believes in love said a week."
After they enter the house and hug Nadia and Hope who when she saw Kol wanted him to hold her. Elijah is staring at Henrik who is staring back at him, Caroline needs to get back to Mystic Falls so she starts talking. " Elijah you're brother Henrik was resurrected and your oldest sister Freya is awake from a hundred year sleep, shes in New Orleans while Henrik is here for protection."
Elijah still staring at Henrik leans over to Nadia because he knows Katherine wont answer him. " Is this real my youngest brother is really here."
When Nadia nods Elijah walks over to Henrik and reaches out and touches his shoulder when its solid he hugs his brother, he has missed Henrik so much. Henrik smiles into his brothers embrace he's missed all his siblings and was sad when he didn't see Elijah at the compound.
Later Caroline notices Elijah is by himself she imagined he would be with Henrik but instead Henrik is with Hope and Kol. She goes over to him. "You look great, if you ever decide to give up the suits jeans and a leather jacket have to be your substitute."
Elijah smiles over at her he didn't have any hope when he made the deal with her but then he got his outfit and even a couple hours ago when he put it on he wasn't sure about it but after hearing Caroline compliment him he feels better about the outfit since Katerina won't speak to him or even acknowledge he is not wearing a suit. "I really messed up I don't know if she'll forgive me this time."
"You and Katherine belong together, I can't not think of a couple more suited for each other then you two. You've spent so much time apart I think it will take some time to get used to not running and settling down. She loves you and you love her and I think it scares both of you, you've never been in this situation where you can be happy and together."
Xxx
Rebekah shows Freya to the dinning room, Klaus sits at the head of the table like always, Rebekah is the left side of the table and Stefan is on the right with freya sitting next to Rebekah. " Where is Henrik?"
"He's safe we sent him to a safe house that is housing Elijah and two of our other friends."
Klaus once again rolls his eyes he would not consider Katherine nor her daughter friends. He leans forward in his chair arms on the table. "Speaking of Henrik how did you meet him. He's been dead for a millennium and you've been asleep?"
Freya turns to look at Klaus giving him her full attention. "Your right he was dead for a millennium and I was asleep for every hundred years. He found me when I was asleep, it was after I ran from our aunt Dahlia I was looking for someone who had helped me in the past and I was looking for my siblings. When I was asleep my magic grew and one day a boy found me and told me his name was Henrik Mikaelson and that he's my brother. I was so happy to have found one of my siblings, he told me he was dead and on the other side. I made him a chambre de chase it had everything he would need until I could resurrect him."
Xxx
Katherine finishes putting her stuff in Kol's Lamborghini when Elijah comes out "Katerina I'm sorry please stay."
"I have no problem helping you fix your mind and taking care of Hope but you've become a man I don't even recognize, I thought I could overlook it but I can't. When you figure out who you are and if you even want this relationship then find me."
Katherine hugs her daughter "I love you and I'm not leaving you again I will come back I'm just leaving Elijah."
"I know I love you too."
A couple minutes after they leave Elijah turns to Nadia next him. "Get your stuff I need to make this right."
Nadia follows him back into the house. "She just said you need to find yourself how is chasing her through the south eastern going to help."
"I've chased her for the last five hundred years, the only difference is I now have a mind issue thank to Esther and having vivid hallucinations also thanks to Esther. I do one one thing for sure that has never changed I love Katerina Petrova, and Katherine Pierce."
Nadia smiles Katherine told her Elijah would come to his senses she thought it would take more time but Katherine told her he just need a push.
After Nadia leaves him Elijah rushes to his and Katerina's room he needs something from his suit. When he picks up his suit jacket and all the pockets are empty except for his pocket square. He throws the jacket across the room angry that what he is looking for is not there. He closes his eyes and tries to remember the last time he saw it. He scrunches up his face when he remembers exactly where it is in his nightstand in New Orleans.

"Esther told us you died but clearly you didn't so what really happened?"
Stefan looks over at Rebekah he thought they were going to be subtle about this but guess not just jumping in. She shrugs at his questionable look.
"Our aunt took me put a spell on us to make us more powerful and when I ran away from her I started a new life I could see for myself the first time in a long time I was excited about the future but like all good things it ended. Dahlia found me again and I had to kill the last remanent of my happy life to protect it from Dahlia."
Stefan is the first to ask. "Protect It were you pregnant."
Freya nods and wipes the tear from her eyes thinking about her six month pregnancy even after all these centuries and the tragic end for her child makes her cry.
Rebekah's eyes widen as she remembers a memory from a long time ago.

A thousand years ago:
When Lucien gets back he goes up to his room and Freya Is looking out the window " Love what are you thinking?"
Freya puts a hand on her pregnant stomach. " What our life will be like after I give birth I'm running away from my aunt and your a servant what could we give this child."
Lucien goes over to her Freya who has started to cry, she has been doing that a lot through out the pregnancy. " Shh our child is going to be loved something our parents never gave us but right now I need to get you to safety."
Freya looks up at him tears still in her eyes confused but also alarmed, did Dahlia find her, have the de Martel family found out Lucien has someone living in his room with him. Lucien takes her hand and kisses her forehead. He knows she is freaking out." The guests I brought tonight are dangerous I do not want you or our baby to get hurt."
Lucien sneaks Freya down the stairs and to the carriages he unites a horse and gives it to Freya. " I love you and our baby I will find you."
Freya nods " I love you."
She rides off into the night when Rebekah who was one of the guests that Lucien brought to the castle that night comes up behind Lucien " Was that your wife?"
Lucien turns around startled he didn't hear her coming. " I'm not married."
Rebekah looks at the cape still flapping the night air. " I thought you said you were expecting a child."
Lucien nodded " I am I was courting her."

A thousand years ago:
Freya is riding through the woods trying to stay off the roads she does not want Dahlia to find her. After a couple days Freya is starving and so is her baby all they have had to eat is some berries she found on a tree. She stops by a cart selling fruits and that was her mistake she is manhandled by Dahlia who spotted her and she is taken back to dahlia's tent.
Dahlia is very happy when she sees that Freya is pregnant but Freya will not put her baby though what she has had to endure her whole life with Dahlia. It takes days to work up the courage and strength to even be able to do it but she knows she has to protect her baby. She also knows that if she goes through with it, it will be the last tie she has to Lucien and if she ever sees him again which she knows is a long shot but she dreams she will one day. How will she tell him what she has done.
So one day while Dahlia is outside fixing them dinner Freya rummages through her potions and picks the strongest one. As she puts it to her lips Dahlia comes Inside with their food. Before Dahlia can stop her she downs the entire potion and collapses.
When she awakens Dahlia informs her that she survived because of the spell Dahlia put on them when freya was a child but not everyone survived the potion. Freya puts her hand on her belly where her baby was and cries.

Present:
As Kol is pulling up to the hospital Caroline vamps out of the car and into the hospital to see her mom she is met at the door of her moms room by Damon. "Its about time forty five minutes ago they told me to contact the next of kin. Sorry blonde but your mom is deteriorating."
"What about vampire blood why have we not tried that."
"I've never heard of vampire blood healing cancer, and I'm pretty sure your mom like your dad does not want to be a vampire."
Caroline pushes him against the wall her arm against his throat. " You never heard of the originals and they exist, you never heard of werewolves and they exist or the cure to a werewolf bite again that exists."
Damon spins them and it's Caroline who is pinned to the wall but only for a second as Enzo comes up to them and separates them. " I don't think it's possible even our blood has it limits hell even Klaus' blood has its limits. If you want to try it I suggest you hurry up she doesn't have much time left."
Caroline goes in as Enzo nods to Katherine and Kol who bought big hats and sunglasses in the gift shop to disguise themselves from Damon and Elena if she is here. They follow Enzo into the room next to Liz. They watch as Enzo cuts his wrist and forces the guy in the bed to drink his blood then snap his neck. " Watch him if he awakes text this might be Caroline's last hope lets see if it works."
Katherine and Kol pull up chairs and sit while they wake for this guy to wake up. " I drove here at lightening speed for Caroline to see her mom and we get stuck watching this guy wake in transition, how did we get the short straw?"
Katherine lets out a little laugh. "We're dead remember to the important residences of Mystic Falls we both have died. If they found out we were still alive they would try to kill us again."
Ten minutes later the guy wakes up coughing blood he falls out of the bed still coughing up blood. Both vampires look at each other and zoom next door break Damon's neck as he falls to the floor. Kol speaks "Caroline don't this is will not end well. I'm sorry but you have to just let it happen."
Caroline looks back her friends she knows what they mean. " I cant let this happen."
Liz reaches out and takes her daughters hand " Everything will be ok, You are so strong and you have the Mikaelsons Katherine, Enzo and the Salvatores you have so many people who love you."
While everyone is surrounding Liz Damon starts to stir as Elijah, Nadia Henrik holding Hope enter. Katherine once again snaps his neck. Caroline smiles over at them Liz doesn't have much time. " Mom I would like you to meet my step daughter Hope Caroline Mikaelson, Klaus had a child with a werewolf and got Hope, and this is the youngest brother Henrik."
Henrik places Hope on Liz's bed who smiles down at the baby girl who is smiling up at her and looking around. " She's beautiful Caroline you will make a beautiful Mother to Hope."
A nurse comes in and sees Damon dead on the floor Katherine compels her to forget seeing Damon and just go about her job.
"Caroline I love you."
"I love you too mom." Caroline closes her eyes and goes inside Liz's mind and sees that as her mom is drifting towards death she is remembering teaching Caroline how to ride a bike and saying I will always be there for you.
Caroline starts to cry.
