Last Time…

KPOV

"Are you ready for me to take you home love?"

She sat up and looked at the time, "yeah Caroline may have decided to come home and I want to thank her for being there for me this morning."

I nodded and got up and walked her to the car and opened the door for her. She held my hand on the drive to her house and I brought her hand to my lips and place a kiss on her hand happy to have this contact with her and happy that she wasn't pulling away from me.

Once we got to her house I opened the door for her and walked her to her front door, I watched as she looked into my eyes and gave me a warm smile.

"I had a wonderful time with you tonight Nik it really was special thank you."

"Anything for you love." I leaned down and gave her a quick peck on her lips.

"So I will see you tomorrow and don't forget to call me so I can know what time I need to stop by." She said with a sparkle in her eye. I didn't know if it was because she would meet my family or if it was to spend some time with me.

"Alright then I will call you. Goodnight love." I waited until she was in her house and I could hear the lock click. Not realizing that someone could be watching me this late and not really thinking about it I blurred to the drivers side and got in and drove off.

DPOV

After dealing with my brother I decided to get something to eat and I parked my car in the garage instead of just leaving it out like I usually do. When I got to her house no one was there and I decided to watch a movie and just hang out until Bella or Blondie got home.

Around 3 am I could hear a car pulling into the driveway I just assumed Bella wasn't going to be back since it was so late. I got up and walked over to the window to see if it was Blondie but it wasn't it was Bella and she looked happy. I was just happy she gave the guy a chance he seemed like a nice guy and I just hoped he wouldn't hurt her or he would have to deal with me.

I could hear them telling each other goodnight and I watched as Nik gave her a goodnight kiss. I could appreciate the fact that he even waited for her to get inside the house and lock the door before he left. However what I saw next gave me a shock of a lifetime.

What in the hell?

Now that you are caught up…

Still DPOV

Ok let me just think for a minute there is no way that I saw what I just saw. I mean Bella's date can't be a vampire right? I'm a vampire and I didn't even sense that he was on so what in the hell was going on. Bella has some serious explaining to do. I blurred downstairs and met Bella at the bottom of the stairs before she could take another step. I was surprised at the huge grin she had on her face but I needed answers.

"So when were you going to tell me that your date was a vampire?" I asked her and I watched as the smile quickly left her face.

"What are you talking about Damon?" I listened as her heart rate picked up.

"You know you really need to learn to control that heart rate of yours when you want to lie especially to a vampire. So when were you going to tell me and when did you find out?"

"Damon please just let it go ok? For one its not my secret to tell and two it's really none of your business. I love you Damon but I can't tell you everything."

"Bella it's me you know you can tell me anything and I won't hold it against you. I tell you everything and the one time where I can be there for you it's like you can't trust me. I thought we promised to always be there and listen to each other and to never keep secrets from each other Bella?"

She looked to me guiltily, "Damon please it's not my secret to tell. Just give me a second." She said pleadingly with her eyes glistening slightly.

I could tell that my accusations stung her and I felt bad for making her feel bad. I watched as she pulled her phone out and dialed a number she placed the phone to her ear and I could hear the ringing.

"Hey love, you miss me already?"

"Nik, umm do you mind coming back. Damon knows and since it's not my secret to tell I figured I would let you tell him. I mean I understand if you don't want to but he's my friend and we made a promise to never keep secrets from each other. I wouldn't ask you to just tell anyone but Damon can keep a secret and I trust him with my life."

"Yeah I will be there in a minute."

"Thank you Nik." I watched as Bella ended the call and walked back to the door and crossed her arms over her chest. I knew now that she felt torn between loyalty and friendship and the possibility of a new relationship and trust. One thing I knew about Bella was that she would never betray someone's trust and the fact that she willing asked him to come back so that he could tell me himself meant she really cared about him.

"Bella you don't have to do this I can wait until he is ready and we can just leave it at that. I don't want you to feel like you have to choose between your best friend and a guy that you are dating."

"That's just it Damon you're right we both promised to not keep things from each other and this is me keeping that promise. Nik will be in my life for however long I want him unless I order him away and I can't choose between you. Once you figure it out you will understand."

I looked at her a little confused at that last statement and what the hell did she mean until she orders him away unless. I rubbed my hands down my face now it was all making sense to me. Why she wouldn't tell his secret and why she looked so torn when I wanted to know about Nik. I guess I better be on my best behavior and become best friends with him. I knew better then to try and come between mates I would lose my life if I tried to keep her away from him.

"Damn you to move quick. So when's the wedding?" I asked her teasing her trying to get a smile out of her.

It worked as she looked at me with a huge grin on her face and I saw her relax visibly.

"So does this mean I can't be mean to him?" I asked her with a frown.

"I would like that." She said.

"Bella you know I will do anything for you and if he is that important to you then I will do it without you asking me to. We will become best friends." I looked up as I heard a car pulling into. "Sounds like he just arrived."

I watched as Bella opened the door and waited for Nik to pull up and get out.

Here goes nothing.

BPOV

I had opened the door when Damon said that he heard a car pulling into the driveway. I was a little nervous figuring Nik would be upset that I asked him to come back and explain things to Damon. I just couldn't see myself telling Damon, Nik's secrets. I love Damon like a brother but like I told him it wasn't my secret to tell.

Nik parked his car and walked to the door and he had a smile on his face, which made me relax.

"So love you going to invite me in or do you want me to tell Damon everything through the door?" Nik asked.

"Oh I'm sorry, come on in." I said smiling at him.

Nik walked in and leaned down and gave me a peck on the cheek. I took his hand and lead him to the living room with Damon following behind us. I sat down on one of the couches and Nik sat beside while Damon sat on a chair across from us.

Nik looked at Damon and said, "So what would you like to know Damon?"

Damon and Nik sat talking for a couple of hours. Nik explained to Damon that he was an original vampire and that he was also half vampire half werewolf. When Nik was explain to Damon about his family the sun started slowly rising. I hadn't realized that I had fallen asleep until I felt someone lifting me into their arms and I woke up to see Nik carrying me up the stairs.

He looked down at me and smiled, "you are gorgeous when you sleep except when you are drooling on me."

I playfully hit his arm, "I do not drool thank you very much."

He smirked at me, "ok maybe you don't drool but you do talk in your sleep."

I looked at him horrified I can only imagine what I said.

"You do know that I can walk to my own room?" I asked him quietly.

"I know love, but I like having you in my arms."

I didn't say anything else until he carried me to my room and sat me down on the bed gently like he was afraid I would break. I patted the spot beside me because I wanted to talk to him before he left.

"Thank you for coming back and talking to Damon for me I really appreciate it."

"It's no problem Bella, besides I would do anything you want all you have to do is ask." He said while smiling at me.

"Thank you all the same it means a lot to me. Besides I think it's a good idea for you and Damon to get to know each other. I just want to two of you to get along and I don't want you to feel you have to compete for my attention with Damon."

He smiled, "he's not a bad guy and I have to admit that I was a little jealous of your relationship with him. It's just a lot of women have guy friends and swears that nothing is going on with them only to be caught in bed with their best friend. I know now that I can trust you and I'm ok with getting along with him."

"Thank you that means a lot to me to."

He smiled at me and then leaned down and kissed me and then he stood up getting ready to leave.

"Do you still want to come by later on or would you rather sleep in?"

"Nik I told you I will be there for you when you talk to your family. I will sleep for a few hours and then I will call you before I come over."

"Bella I don't mind you sleeping in and you can meet my family after you've slept enough."

"I will be over in little while. Now you can't change my mind on this one." I told him smiling knowing that he was only being considerate.

"Alright my brother should be at the house in a few hours."

"Maybe you are the one that needs to sleep in."

"Actually love, vampires don't need as much sleep as a human."

I giggled a little at what he said and he looked at me questionably. "Someone needs to tell Damon that because I swears he sleeps more then ten hours sometimes twelve if you let him. He said that he is getting his beauty sleep."

Klaus chuckled a little, "I actually know a few vampires like that so that doesn't surprise me. See you later love."

"See you later Nik."

I quickly changed clothes and laid down and set my alarm for eleven seeing that it was already almost eight.

When my alarm went off I cut it off and got up and went and showered and got dressed. I decided to wear a pair of white leggings with a hot pink tank top. Something told me to wear comfortable shoes so I just put on a pair of hot pink ballet flats. I wore my silver hoop earrings with some hot pink and sliver bracelets. I added a little makeup and then I grabbed my purse and my phone.

I texted Nik to see if he had eaten lunch yet and he said that he was waiting on my and told him I was on my way. I went to Damon's room surprised when he wasn't still in bed but his sheets were all over the bed. What vampire sleeps like that had nightmares.

"Damon." I called out not shouting knowing that if he was in the house he would hear me. He suddenly appeared beside me and almost scared me to death.

"What you called so I was coming to see what you wanted. You look nice by the way, so what's up?"

"I was just letting you know that I'm going to Nik's and I will probably be over there for the day. Thanks by the way." I said smiling at him.

"Ok have fun I'm going to check on my brother to see how he's holding up."

I just nodded my head and went and got in my car to drive the short drive to Nik's house. I mean don't get me wrong it's not that long of a walk but by the time I reach his house I would probably be sweating and not looking too nice. So I would rather drive. I pulled up in front of his house and parked my car in the driveway and once I was out of the car and made it to the door I rung the doorbell.

There was a guy about the same size as Nik with dark hair and I was guessing he was Elijah.

"Yes can I help you?" He asked me with a smile on his face.

"Yes I'm here to see Nik." I said smiling back at him.

"Oh you must be Bella. Please come in my brother has told me a lot about you." He held out his hand and I shook it.

"Yes and you must be Elijah." He nodded his head and I followed him into the living room. "So where's Nik I told him I was on the way."

"He's in his studio a little nervous but he did say to go on up when you got here."

"Ok thank you. It's nice meeting you Elijah."

"Nice meeting you to Bella. I'm going to go and check on our siblings so I will see you in a few." He then walked off and I went to Nik's art studio.

When I got to the door it was opened but I don't think Nik heard me seeing as how he jumped a little when I knocked on the open door. He turned around and smiled at me before walking over to me and giving me a quick peck on the lips.

"Hey love, did you sleep well?"

"Yes I did Nik. You want to tell me what has you so nervous."

He smiled realizing he wasn't going to get to wiggle his way out of this one.

"Well love, to be honest I'm just a little worried about you and I just don't want my family to try and hurt you."

"Did you forget that Maddox will be with me and he also did that protection spell on me? Besides did you forget that I can protect myself?"

"You didn't really protect yourself well the other night."

"I panicked and that was the first time since I've been training that a vampire was actually trying to kill me. I realize that it's much different then training with my dad and friends but trust me it won't happen again and I didn't have my pin with me either."

"What do you mean you didn't have your pin with you is it supposed to be some kind of special pin and just what kind of pin are you talking about?"

I smiled at him, "don't worry and you will find out just what kind of pin I'm talking about if your siblings try to attack me. Now where is this lunch talking about?" I asked him quickly changing subject.

He took my hand and we walked to the dinning room where Elijah was sitting and talking to Maddox. He smiled when he saw mine and Nik's hands linked together like he was pleased or something. I didn't bother asking and Nik pulled a chair out for me and seated me and then he walked around the table and sat across from me.

Soon a woman that looked to be my mother's age walked in pushing a serving cart which surprised me and she placed plates in front of us. Once she placed the plates down she then went and poured glasses of wine for everyone but I quickly declined settling for water.

Elijah looked at me smiling and asked, "So Bella how old are you?"

"I'm 18 Elijah. How old are you?" I asked smiling back at him.

"The same age as Niklaus why?"

"No I know that much how old were you when you changed."

"28 why?"

"Hey you asked me my age I figured it was only fair to know yours." Nik and Maddox chuckled quietly and I could even hear Elijah chuckling a little.

"Fair enough. So where is your family from originally?"

Nik looked a little frustrated that his brother was questioning me. I just smiled understanding his need to know a little bit about me. "My family is from here originally."

He looked surprised by that information and that seemed to keep him quiet for a few minutes I guess thinking of his next question.

Finally he looked up as he had one, "so how did you and my brother meet?"

Nik spoke up before I could answer, "Is there a reason you are badgering my guest as if she was in a courtroom?"

"Nik is ok I understand he just wants to learn more about me and I bumped into him at the airport."

"I'm truly sorry if I've upset you Bella it's just I've never seen my brother so happy in his life even when he thought he would break his curse 500 years ago. You are just a breath of fresh air and I know my siblings will be the same way once they see the change in Niklaus." Elijah said.

"No it's really ok Elijah like I said I understand." I looked to Nik who looked on the verge of losing his cool and I knew that part of it was fear of how his siblings would react to everything.

Maddox quickly changed the subject and we all talked and laughed and it was nice seeing Nik relax more as the time passed. Once the dishes were cleared from the table Nik said that his siblings should be awake soon since he undaggered them earlier. He had explained to me the once the dagger was removed it would take a few hours before they would wake up.

Nik took my hand again and we walked upstairs and he showed me to his sister's room. Maddox offered to stay in the room with me so that Nik could relax more and Nik told me that he would be across the hall with his younger brother Kol. Elijah would be in the room next to Kol's with their older brother Finn.

I sat down in front of the coffin and waited for his sister to wake up hoping she wouldn't attack first. Soon I heard a gasp and looked over to see Rebekah sitting up in the coffin looking around. She got out and started walking over towards me.

"Who are you and what do you want?" She asked.

I put my hands up to show her that I meant her no harm, "I'm Bella and your brother undaggered you. I'm just sitting in here to support you and help catch you up to date."

"Elijah undaggered me where is he?" She asked and I could see a genuine smile cross her features. She was very pretty which surprised me since I have yet to meet an ugly vampire.

"Elijah didn't undagger you but he's here. Niklaus undaggered you and your other brothers."

"What do you mean he undaggered my brothers? I thought they were all dead except Nik and Elijah."

"No and from the crash that I just heard they are up as well and one of them is pissed."

She started to walk away but I stopped her before she could walk out of the door.

"Wait Rebekah, why don't you shower and change and then you can get to the family reunion."

She looked down like she just realized that she was dusty from laying in a coffin for nearly a hundred years.

"Oh I look hideous. Please tell me that I have something I can change into?"

I smiled at her and walked over to the closet and opened it reveling a huge walk in closet. "Yes so what do you want to wear then?"

She looked me up and down and said, "well what you have on is cute so why not something similar and please tell me that those pants aren't as tight as they seem how can you even breathe?"

"No the material just looks like that but they are pretty comfortable and you can look cute and be comfortable at the same time." I walked into the closed looking to see if I could find her something similar to my outfit.

"So how do you know Nik?"

"We met a couple of weeks ago when I bumped into him at the airport on my way to the restroom. Then I bumped into him again in the grocery store and he asked me out on a date."

"So you bumped into him and he asked you out on a date. That sounds nothing like the Nik I used to know. So do you bump into people often then?" She asked and she really looked curious.

"Oh you have no idea I am very clumsy." I finally found her some leggings and found her a dark blue tank top and some dark blue ballet flats. I knew the blue would good on her. I got her some panties and a bra and gave her everything she need for the shower. I was grateful that Maddox was there and he was quiet and he just kept an eye on Rebekah in case she went after me but something told me that it wasn't her that I would have to worry about.

I walked into the bathroom with Rebekah behind me and I started the shower getting it to a good temperature explaining everything to her so she would be able to work it. I also found her some wash clothes and towels and I gave her the body wash and shampoo that was on the counter. Once everything was ready I left her to it and told her to call out to me if she needed my help with anything.

Maddox looked at me surprised and satisfied about something but I wasn't even going to ask him what it was. Soon there was a knock on the door and Nik stuck his head in.

"Is everything ok in here love?"

"Yeah everything's fine and Rebekah and I are getting along just fine. So what was that crash that I heard a little while ago?"

"That was just Kol upset with how much time has gone by and he threw me into the mirror." At my shocked expression Nik hurried and assured me that he was perfectly fine.

"So other then being thrown into a mirror how are things going with Kol and Finn?"

"They are showering like Rebekah she's done bring her downstairs for some blood."

I nodded my head praying I didn't get dizzy when the blood came.

"Bella." I could hear Rebekah calling for me.

"I will go and see what she wants." I got ready to turn to walk a but Nik pulled me to him and gave me a quick kiss.

"Thank you so much for being here Bella it means a lot to me."

"No problem and you don't have to thank me I like Rebekah and she hasn't even tried to kill me."

I walked to the bathroom door and knocked before I walked in praying Rebekah was dressed. My prayer was not answered she was standing there naked holding her bra and panties out like they were alien objects.

"What exactly am I supposed to do with these?"

After telling her where they were supposed to go she was able to get her panties on without any issues but the bra was another story. I had to help her there and it was kind of hard seeing as how I didn't want to look.

"Oh Bella get over it we have the same thing my goodness." I giggled at how she said it.

"Well excuse me Rebekah I'm not used to seeing other girls naked."

"So I'm guessing you're going to tell me that you are a virgin next?" She asked sarcastically. However at my blush she said, "really, how old are you exactly?"

"18 and that's the second time someone has asked me my age today I don't think I will answer that question a third time."

"Well it's just that you are gorgeous really which I don't say often so you better appreciate the compliment and I just assumed you've had sex before."

"No I never have and can we please talk about something else. Like the weather or anything really."

Once Rebekah was dressed I sat her down at her vanity and help her with her makeup a little and she looked like a freaking model.

"So are you hungry?" I asked her a little nervous that bringing it up would set her off.

"Yes I'm starved. So where is dinner?"

"Come on it should already be waiting for you downstairs."

We walked out of the bathroom to see Maddox looking anywhere but at me and I knew he had heard our conversation and I knew if he heard then so did the vampires whose hearing was way better then Maddox's. I turned a darker shade of red dreading the looks I knew I would receive once we got downstairs.

Sometimes I hate my life.

KPOV

After checking on Bella to see how things were going with Rebekah I went back to Kol's room to see if he needed my help with anything. Once he was dressed and ready we walked downstairs and he was asking me about the other female voice he heard that didn't belong to Rebekah. I tried to change the conversation to something like computers and cellphones until Bella came downstairs with Rebekah and I could introduce her to him and Finn then.

Once Kol was sitting at the table the maid brought him a few bags of blood and he devoured them in seconds. We sat talking about things that he missed but both of us stopped when Finn and Elijah walked in the room. Kol got up and hugged Finn and Elijah both and I stood up wondering if I was going through the window.

Finn looked at me and smiled which surprised me, "I happy to finally be undaggered Niklaus. I won't hurt you right now because I'm happy to see Elijah and Kol but you had better not laid a hand Sage either."

I smiled at Finn, "No I didn't hurt Sage and as a matter of fact I could have Maddox track her for you and give her the message that you are undaggered and you and her can be together again by the end of the week."

Finn looked shocked, "You would really do that for me?"

I nodded my head, "It's only fair I kept you away from your love for a long time and for that I'm sorry." Elijah, Finn, and Kol all looked shocked at what I just said. I would have killed someone had they told me that I would undagger my siblings and then apologized to them for doing it and taking a part of their lives away from them. Now I understand that I should have just told them my fears and if someone took Bella away from me I can't even begin to imagine how I would react.

I could hear Bella and Rebekah talking upstairs and we all heard Rebekah say, "Oh Bella get over it we have the same thing my goodness." I giggled at how she said it.

"Well excuse me Rebekah I'm not used to seeing other girls naked."

"So I'm guessing you're going to tell me that you are a virgin next?" She asked sarcastically. However at my blush she said, "really, how old are you exactly?"

"18 and that's the second time someone has asked me my age today I don't think I will answer that question a third time."

"Well it's just that you are gorgeous really which I don't say often so you better appreciate the compliment and I just assumed you've had sex before."

"No I never have and can we please talk about something else. Like the weather or anything really."

I could actually see Bella blush in my head at my sister saying something like that. Leave it to Rebekah to no hold anything back.

I could hear Kol chuckle, "so there's a virgin upstairs and I'm down here talking to you three why?"

I growled out at him stopping him from making his way to the stairs, "if you don't want to lose your life you will not take one more step. I am sorry for daggering you but I will kill you if you make one move towards that girl."

Everyone looked at me like I had grown another head. I saw realization click for Finn and he smiled at me but Kol still looked like a mixture of shock and fear.

We heard footsteps on the stairs and I knew that Bella and Rebekah were making their way down the stairs. I watched as Bella and Rebekah walk into the room and like I assumed Bella still had a blush on her face. I watched as Rebekah hugged everyone then she made her way over to me last.

She hugged me tightly which surprised me because I was sure there would be yelling and screaming but I was happy that it wasn't. I watched as Finn walked over to Bella and introduced himself to her and she smiled at him. I kept a close eye on Kol as Bella made her way over to him but I was happy to see that he behaved.

Bella walked over to me as I held my hand out for her. "So everyone there is something that you all need to know. Bella is my mate!" At everyone's stunned looks other then Elijah and Finn the room was quiet.

Kol smirked at me, "well I never thought I would see the day where the one brother that always said love was a weakness would fall and fall hard."

So you guys tell me what you think you know how much I love to hear from you guys.

So Bella has met everyone and her and Rebekah are getting along perfectly do you think it will last long or not?
