AN:I've been struggling with motivation recently, I've come up with a new story idea and its honestly been keeping me busy while i start to work on it and sadly this story has started to falter but I hope this chapter makes up for. Please review I love hearing from you and what you think!

Once everyone was back in the mansion Antonia started to make a b-line for the couch but Klaus pulled her back letting Rebekah go ahead and flop down on the couch in the living room.

Klaus pulled a leaf from Antonia's hair before asking, "Do you want to shower while I make you some food?"

"Oh yes! I was going for a nap but food sounds so much better. Sounds perfect, after can we just spend some time together?" she laid her head down on Klaus' chest for a moment feeling his warmth.

Klaus pulled her closer rubbing her back, "You read my mind, but we may have to post pone until later today, Abby will be coming over to give you a checkup"

"A check up?" Antonia pulled back looking at him. A baby curl fell into her face, Klaus pulled it back behind her ear before answering.

"Just to make sure all the black magic is gone and that everything seems right. Nothing to worry about my love" Klaus assured her before walking her back and towards the stairs.

"Okay, okay" Antonia agreed stepping up one step before leaning forward placing a quick and sweet kiss on Klaus' lips. Klaus was pleasantly surprised at her initiation but soon deepened the kiss, earned a soft little moan from his mate.

Once the moan registered to Antonia herself she pulled back holding her hand to her lips as if shocked at her own boldness. Klaus gently pulled her hand down to place one final sweet kiss on her lips before twisting her to face the stairs.

Antonia hurried up the stairs as fast as she could with a very thick wool blanket wrapped around her. At the top she gave Klaus once last glance and a smile before disappearing. Klaus watched as she went, he was smiling ear to ear. He was genuinely excited and hopeful for what was to come, he had noticed how much Antonia had changed, how much more she seemed drawn to him and the need to physically be close to him. This was something he didn't mind rather he was excited about, finally having her be visibly drawn to her as much as he was to her.

When Antonia was all cleaned up and feeling fresh she came downstairs. She took notice that the house had been cleaned up, the living room appeared as if nothing had ever happened. The floor where the salt burned was no longer visible as all the previous furniture that had originally been in the living room was now back in place. A great big blue Persian rug covered up all the burn marks.

Antonia passed by the window she swore she jumped through and she stopped. "Did I…?" she shyly pointed to the window.

Klaus came up behind her holding onto her hips as he hugged her, "Yes, this is the window you jumped through right after you turned, it was quiet the dramatic exit" Klaus kissed her neck, "I had it fixed earlier this morning"

Rebekah who was still laid out on the couch watching the couple wondered aloud, "So how long until you turn into a Hybrid?"

Klaus' head snapped to his sister in shock of the question. Antonia turned over her shoulder looking at Klaus in confusion, "I uh I 'm just… is the food ready? I'm starving"

It was obvious that Antonia was taken off guard as much as Klaus was by his sister's question. Antonia left Klaus' embrace and made a b-line for the kitchen leaving Klaus glaring at his sister.

"What?" Rebekah asked once she realized the glare was directed at her.

"I would appreciate if you would mind your business, sister" Klaus growled out at his sister as he started off after Antonia.

He caught up with her just as she was starting to talk to the chef, "So I really do appreciate that you are making muffins and I will so very much love and eat them once they come out but do you have anything I can eat now?" Antonia pleaded with the chef.

"Of course, ma'am. I have some scones made and fresh fruit" The chef suggested nervously as he noticed Klaus' entrance.

"I will take some of both please!" Antonia said as she clasped her hands together happily sitting down at the kitchen table.

"I'm sorry that Rebekah's question upset you, love" Klaus said sitting down across from her. The last thing he wanted was an upset mate. Seeing her so visibly uncomfortable made his own chest tighten.

Antonia leaned forward taking Klaus' hand in hers on the table, "It didn't upset me necessarily, it just took me off guard. I just want to enjoy this, being a werewolf for little bit before I become a Hybrid"

"You want to become a Hybrid" It was a statement not a question, she was clearly set on eventually becoming one, the determination shown in her face.

"Of course, I do, werewolves don't live forever and you do" Antonia explained before quickly adding, "Do you want me to, right? To become a hybrid?"

The chef brought over Antonia's plate of scones and fresh bananas and orange slices. "Of course, there is nothing I would like more. I guess I hadn't thought about it other than assuming you would, I had only focused on you first becoming a werewolf before I thought farther" Klaus continued after the chef walked away.

"Moving on, I thought you were going to make me food?" Antonia held up a ripped piece of scone gesturing with it before popping it in her mouth.

"I figured you'd be happier with what Pierre could whip up for you" Klaus explained his reasoning, but he still found himself on the receiving end of a light frown from his mate.

Reaching over the table to brush the back of his fingers across her cheek Klaus let his hand fall to her shoulder eventually landing on the edge of the seat which he swiftly pulled towards him. The chair slid across the floor effectively bringing his mate with it coming to settle right next to him. It was such a cheesy move that Antonia had to laugh while she laid her head on his shoulder.

"Besides wouldn't you much rather spend time with me" Klaus teased as he held his arm around her.

"You're right, I would" She tilted her head to look up at Klaus and he leaned down placing a kiss on her lips. Despite it being a soft little kiss, they quickly broke away when someone behind them cleared their throat. Sitting straight up the two turned around to see Abby.

"Good morning" Abby smiled and moved to sit down at the table. Antonia plucked some more fruit while Klaus greeted Abby.

"How are you feeling Antonia?"

Swallowing Antonia replied, "I feel wonderful honestly, I feel brand new. I do have a question though…"

Abby nodded, "I don't remember anything from last night once I leapt through the window, is that normal? Is that okay?"

"Yes of course, often when werewolves don't remember their first transition. Their wolf instincts take over and their human conscious typically blacks it out. It may come back but you won't always forget what you do as a werewolf" Abby explained putting Antonia's nerves to rest.

Abby then asked her own question, "I need your both of your hands I need to see if the signal of your mate bond is strong and constant now that the black magic is gone from you"

Both of them held their hands out to Abby for held them, she started chanting. It reminded both of them the first time they had gone to see Abby. They shared a smile locking eyes making Antonia's heart flutter.

It was a few more seconds of chanting before Abby continued, "The black magic is all gone… the mate bond is a lot stronger now, it is constant." She released their hands. "You should be functioning as any other werewolf now"

"That's great news. Thank you, Abby" Klaus said as he stood shaking her hand.

"I'm not done."

"You aren't"?

Suddenly Klaus' phone came alive and starting ringing. Huffing Klaus looked at the screen before giving Antonia sympathetic look, "I need to take this"

"Its okay, go go I'll finish up with Abby you go take it" Antonia said shooing him away.

Abby shifted her sight around the room while Klaus left, "Your body will act differently now that you are a full werewolf." Abby deadpanned.

"Okay" Antonia gulped feeling her face flush.

"Even though you already know this I still want to remind you, you will turn ever full moon as long as you are a werewolf unless you become a Hybrid or fall pregnant which will then by at your own command… You will also want to kill vampires while that often starts off slow and because your wolf has been dormant might take some time to start to show"

Antonia nodded indicating for her to continue, "You will start your period again but it will probably still be out of sorts for a while until your body starts to function normally again."

"Periods again…That's not something I'm looking forward to" Antonia remarked with a roll of her eyes as she started on the food Chef had brought. Antonia hadn't given much thought about what changes other than turning would occur after she triggered her curse, she was starting to stress.

"Additionally, you will feel extremely drawn to him, Klaus. The connection is at full capacity so everything will be extreme. Your wolf will have a constant draw to Klaus, you will want to please him. Your wolf will immediately want to mate with him, you need to think about what you are doing. Because your wolf has been dormant for so long it will want to take over completely" Abby's hands flew in the air but her face held seriousness, "I want you to make sure you are ready for whatever you do, just make sure both your human and wolf side are on the same page"

Antonia nodded again taking everything in. "Okay I will, thank you" It was clear that Abby's maternal side was coming out as she advised Antonia to make sure both of her sides were ready.

"You said something about being pregnant?" Antonia asked in a hush whisper.

"Yes, you won't turn when or if you ever become pregnant while still being a werewolf, but you want to know more don't know?" The witch asked.

"I would, I can't have children with Klaus, can I?"

"He is part vampire and they can't procreate so unless the magic or the mate bond is strong enough… usually mates even when one has been considered unfertile they still have children but never with anything more supernatural like being a vampire… it would be completely uncharted water. It could be possible, I can look into it more if you'd like?"

"Sure, I mean yes, at least just to get all the information" She stumbled over her words looking over her shoulder to where Klaus had taken his exit.

"Antonia, one more thing, realize you aren't as invincible as you once were, you can be killed for good this time" Antonia's head snapped back to Abby as the witch stood up, "please call me if anything seems out of the ordinary, while I have figured out a lot it's still unclear what the black magic might have also done to you that could have lasting effects."

"I must say I'm surprised you're being so helpful and willing about all of this" Antonia said bluntly unable to hide her suspicions crossing her arms.

"I know you don't like my kind Antonia. You seem like a sweet girl and magic was used against you in one of the worst ways, I'm only doing what's right to maintain the balance and to show you that not all witches are bad."

Antonia didn't know what to say. Her mouth hung agape at Abby's honesty, "Thank you" was all she was able to come up with.

"I will let myself out" Abby said before walking out trading places with Klaus who was on his way back.

Antonia picked at a scone tearing it into bits when Klaus came back, "Sorry about that love, how did it go, what did she tell you?" Klaus held her hips comfortingly feeling bad about having to take the phone call.

"Well, I feel a little more prepared for what is to come. Abby told me about being a female werewolf all just girl stuff mostly" Antonia said leaning into her mate.

"I see, while its true I'm no female werewolf" He paused letting Antonia giggle, "I'm always happy to help you along the way" Klaus offered as he rubbed her back.

"I know" Antonia sighed happily leaning up to place a thankful kiss on his cheek.

Needing to just do something to decompress the couple soon found themselves laid up on the couch watching a movie more or less. A scary tv series was playing on the tv, Antonia was fully engrossed in the plot but Klaus was engrossed in Antonia.

His face was buried in her neck his only barely making it to the screen in time for him to notice the climax of the episode rising seeing an invitation to give his girl a little scare.

"Boo!" He said startling the poor girl who froze up and let out a little scream.

"Oh hell you got me good oh my God" Antonia pretended to seethe at him crossing her arms turning back to the tv. Klaus wrapped his arms tightly around her.

"I did, didn't I?" Klaus laughed at her red face, she couldn't help but laugh at her own fluttering heart beat at the scare and her flustered state. Just as the two stopped laughing at Antonia's jumping to see the ghost jump out from behind a door causing the characters and Antonia to scream out again at the fright.

"Oh hell!" Antonia let out, her heart pounding in her chest. "I might just have a heart attack, I did not see that coming" Her hand coming to hold over her heart.

"Neither did I" Klaus chuckled.

"You didn't even scare though" She turned looking at him, his eyes were bright blue and his smile was wide. Antonia couldn't help but ignore the show and just smile back at him, she bit her lip looking at Klaus.

Klaus watched her look at him, she was admiring him, something he hadn't anyone do as far as he could remember.

She twisted in his arms coming to fully face him, "I love this, I love you" Antonia breathed out, "I never thought I'd have moments like this on the couch with you, with anyone really, and now I can't imagine anything else. I love this"

"I love you too" Klaus said before closing the space between them with a kiss, "What did you think I would be like?"

"Honestly?" Antonia looked hesitant.

"Of course"

"I thought you would be brunette or black haired something more stereotypical evil and harsh looking to be honest but I prefer the blonde" She reached out ruffling his hair, "I was scared that the way Katherine told me about you that you would be too much of a bachelor to want a mate"

"I wasn't even aware that I would have had a mate, it was something I had wanted for a long time but I never thought was plausible. I've always wanted a family" Reaching up he pulled Antonia's hand in his kissing her palm. Antonia laughed a little as the show continued to play in the background and with comic relief played light and joyful music.

"What do you mean, a family?"

"My own. Yes, I have my siblings, always and forever, but my own, a wife, children not that as part vampire that is possible but just to have you is more than I ever expected" Klaus admitted looking away as he talked almost in disbelief of his own openness.

"Abby told me something about that today, about the possibility of having children" His blue eyes snapped back to hers.

"What did she say?" Klaus' voice full of hope.

Antonia swallowed hard hoping she wasn't getting his hopes up for no reason, "Apparently mates have always been able to have children and she thinks it's possible because of the magic, the bond and strength of both there's a possibility. She said she would look into it more for me"

"Do you want children?"

"I've always wanted children for as long as I can remember but the fear of not being able to provide for them made me put the thought out of mind a long time ago"

"That won't be even a thought in your mind anymore, providing for them wouldn't be an issue, or even for yourself, we have more than enough to last us until the end of time, I've got business all over the world. I never want you to think that money will be an issue" Klaus' face was stern, and his voice lowered an octave or two as he looked Antonia straight in the eye.

"I know, money is still just a weird topic for me" Antonia almost squirmed in Klaus' arms, "I mean I have money too, royalties from songs and savings from over the years, probably not nearly as much as you've got but it's something I'm proud of"

"You've written songs? Can you sing one for me?"

"Now? Oh gosh no, I don't even remember them that well" Antonia blushed, "Everything like that is back at home"

"Home?" Klaus asked taken back.

"The house that Katherine had set up for me before I came to Mystic Falls. I consider you my home but eventually I would like to go back though"

Klaus must have given her such a bewildering look that she continued, "Not back like back to stay you silly, but to get my things and make sure everything is in order there so I can be with you" Antonia said pushing a curl out of her face.

"Where is it?" Klaus asked interested.

"Rockville, South Carolina"

"I'd be happy to go with you love, see what your life has looked like until now"

"I'd like that, we could make a day trip out of it" Antonia suggested clapping her hands together in excitement.

"It probably won't be today or even tomorrow I've still got to handle everything with Stefan to get my coffins back"

"That's alright, I'm in no rush your siblings are what matter right now" She soothed stroking his cheek giving him a sympathic look, "What do we need to do to start working to getting them back?"

"Stefan forced my hand in sending my hybrids away saying he would give them back but he hasn't. I'm going to pay him a little visit later but we're at a standstill" Klaus sighed in frustration.

"What can I do to help?"
