Elena's PoV

"Look I have a lot to catch up with my family so can we continue this in the morning?" I asked knowing just how badly this could go.

"Alright meet at the boarding house tomorrow at four?" Caroline asked.

"Sounds like a plan" I said and everyone separated and left the room and went home.

"Well what are we going to do?" I asked

"Let's go to the house and talked this out" Rebekah suggested. With that we all took off for Mikealson manor. Everyone walked inside like nothing while I was stuck at the door.

"Um, hello" I said.

"Right, come in sister" Nik said and I walked in.

"Well why don't we get started" I said sitting on the couch next to Kol.

"So what happened to you?" Elijah asked.

"Well my dear husband here thought it would be fun to mess with at Bennett witch, whom decided to get even by taking away the one thing he loved most in this world. Me." I said

"Did you know what would happen?" Elijah asked.

"No but I watched the witch take away your memories while I watched and felt everything while you all lived on" I said.

"How did Rebekah know how to save you?" Nik asked.

"Over the four hundred years I was still alive I would get flashes of things that could restore the family" Rebekah said.

"I watched and waited and until the witches let me go" I said.

"The necklace you always wore?" Kol asked.

"It was Elena's daylight/wedding ring that I kept protected, even though I knew nothing about it" Rebekah said.

"So you saw everything I've done?" Kol asked looking worried.

"Yes, but I can't blame you, since you didn't know I existed" I said smiling at him.

"I still feel guilty about it all" Kol said.

"We can see that you two have a lot to catch up on so we will leave you to it" Rebekah said as they got up and left.

"How was Rebekah able to fix us and bring you back?" Kol asked.

"We'll have to ask her sometime won't we?" I said.

"That we will" Kol agreed. I was happy that I was finally reunited with my husband and one true love.

"I wonder if they have any descendants alive today?" I said thinking about my kids.

"Who?" Kol asked not quite following my train of thought.

"Theoderada, Itta, and Audovera of course" I said like it was no big deal.

"You haven't mentioned our daughters since we gave them up" Kol said.

"I can't help but wonder what would have happened if we could have kept them" I said thinking about the parent I never got to be.

"Maybe we can have your friend see if they have and any living decedents" Kol said.

"That would be nice" I said smiling leaning more into the embrace of my husband.

"Well why don't we talk about the human life you just gave up instead of our past" Kol said.

"What do you want to know?" I asked.

"What are some differences growing up here versus the first time?" Kol asked.

"Well life now is easier than it was then, but it makes me appreciate all the things we had all the more" I said.

"How can you appreciate them when life is so easy now?" Kol asked.

"Exactly it makes me appreciate having to work for everything and not be handed anything" I said.

"And it's something your friends will never understand" Kol said.

"No, not even Stefan and Damon would despite the time when they were human" I said.

"You have a long and difficult day tomorrow, we should get you to bed" Kol said standing up and pulling me with him.

"I don't want to" I said.

"You have no choice darling" Kol said. I followed him knowing I would never win this argument.

"Fine" I said.

"Good girl" Kol said leading me up to his room and to bed.

"Good night my love" I said crawling into the bed. Kol climbed up and wrapped his arm around me.

"Good night darling" Kol said as I fell asleep.
