Chapter 11: Month Six, part 1-Other Side visits and magic

A month after the Bayou Bombing, the priest Kieran O'Connell had died (according to Klaus, it was a mercy kill). That day was the funeral and wake.

Everyone decided to have the funeral at St Anne's Church while the wake was taking place in Rousseau's.

Elena was wrapped up in a satin robe, trying to figure out which black dress to wear when arms went around her waist and hands were on her six month bump.

"She's a kicker." Elijah murmured. "Have I told you how amazing this feels."

The wolf laughed and turned her head to lay it on his shoulder. He was nearly in the exact state of dress she was in except that he had on a pair of boxer-briefs.

"She was like that all night long." She said, smiling at him. "You should know-half the night if your hand wasn't on this," she made a gesture to her baby bump, "you were downstairs making me something to eat or actually going to buy me whatever it is that I'm craving."

He smiled and as he pulled out a grey undershirt and black button up shirt as well as slacks.

"How about you wear that dress with the blue panels on the sides?" He suggested.

"I could probably take this robe off and you'll say that I look great when we both know that I look fat." She told him.

"Not fat lovely," he said to her with a kiss to her forehead. "Beautiful. You can wear whatever you want and to me, you'll look beautiful."

"That's cute and all," they turned to see Rebekah there with a nearly green face. "Elijah-please get dressed as I'm dressing Elena up!"

He nodded and went into the bathroom to shower and get dressed. Elena smiled as she sat on the bed, watching the blonde shuffle through the closet before settling on a black maxi dress with a smile on her face.

"Here! This should be good!" Elena nodded with a smile.

"That's perfect! Thank you Rebekah!"

The church was silent as he walked over to the casket. In the front pews were his siblings and Elena while behind them were Hayley and her pack. A soft noise came from the coffin and as he walked over to it, he peaked inside to see a little baby girl just staring up at him.

"Now what are you doing in here?" he asked the baby girl in the coffin when he felt something poke his back and the voice he never wanted to hear again.

"Greetings, boy." Mikael. It was Mikael.

Klaus woke up, sweating and panicked but otherwise, he knew that it had to have been a dream.

Klaus blinked and shook his head. "My father is literally mocking me from beyond the grave."

"It's going to be fine darling." He looked to see Aurora curled up into him. "He's dead, what can he do?"

Kol was sitting outside, watching the sunrise when he felt someone sit next to him. Turning his head, he saw Bonnie but it seemed odd that she was visiting his dreams.

"I wanted you to know that I'm the Anchor to the Other Side and everything there isn't good Kol." She told him. "The dead are coming to haunt the living…or those that are undead as well. As I'm the Anchor, I get special privileges such as dream walking."

"Why are you telling me this?" He asked wanting to sound harsh but he didn't have it in him. She smiled sadly at him.

"I…I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for what I tried to do to Elijah." He was wide eyed at her statement.

"Why not tell him this yourself?" She gave him a bitter laugh.

"Because his mind has been blocked by magic. I can't enter it because whoever's blocking his mind is powerful. Extremely powerful than what I have encountered in witches. Stronger in light magic."

He had wanted to laugh because of course it's probably his lovely Davina.

"I'll pass the message along."

She smiled and as she pressed her lips to his, he felt her tears. This kiss wasn't like their other kisses but it was sweeter than them. It was almost bittersweet and as he pulled away, she faded from sight.

She found her peace.

He woke up and as he saw Davina curled up in bed with nothing but a sheet covering her, he smiled and ran his hand over her back.

"Did you all get a ghostly visitor?" Klaus asked once they were all in the church and waiting for it to fill up. He was curious who got them and who didn't.

Elena shook her head but as she saw Hayley with Jackson, she went to stand up only for Hayley to be there quickly and help her stand.

"This is going to be weird but…I've missed you sissy." Elena told her softly as she hugged her. Hayley just hugged her back and as her eyes met Elijah's, the warning from a month ago was flashing in them.

For her sister's sake, she would try to get along with the Originals and whomever else they have a liking to.

That was their only common denominator-the wolf they loved as much as her. She may have done all those horrible things to her but at the end of the day, Hayley loved her sister and she did all that…she had her trigger her curse so she wouldn't be alone in the world.

"You need to sit down sweet little wolf." Hayley whispered. "Please, for me and your daughter, sit. I'll be here but I'll be sitting behind you."

Elena nodded, as the last time her sister sounded caring was when Elena herself had broken her leg and no one came to help her. Their parents were out of town so they had the nanny who was off buying food for them and Hayley who was reading some trashy magazine.

Elijah stood up and as he helped her sit down, he was on his knees in front of her with a smile on his face.

"Is there anything I can get you?" He asked and as she shook her head, he stood up and kissed her forehead lovingly. Straightening up, he turned to Hayley with a dark glance in his eyes.

His warning was clear as he mouthed to her, 'do not upset her or else I will make you regret it'.

"Just take care of my little niece or nephew." Hayley told her and as she passed Elijah, she whispered in his ear, "like how you preach about family…Elena is mine. There's nothing I wouldn't do for her."

Klaus watched with amusement at the hostility that Elijah showed Hayley before his eyes moved over to Elena and knew that the only thing that they loved more than family was the little wolf.

She was, without a doubt, his brother's link to his humanity and Hayley's only blood. She would be protected.

Indefinitely.

As Hayley sat down in her seat behind Elena, Elijah turned to Klaus with a raised eyebrow.

"Ghostly visitors? I've had three." He said but he didn't want him to know who they were.

He had seen his first love-Tatia- there, sitting outside of where her hut would be in Mystic Falls-coincidentally, that was the same place that Katia Gilbert called home. She had smiled at him and told him that she hoped that he and Elena had a beautiful life together.

The second person was, surprisingly, his big brother Finn, who hoped that the family would have a second chance at actually being a family.

Third was their father who spouted about how much he was the favorite son only for Elijah to spit out that his favorite son was-and will always be-Finn.

He woke up quickly after that and found Elena in the kitchen trying-and failing-to find what she needed to make a triple chocolate milkshake with strawberries and some cherry thumbprint cookies.

"I saw Alexander in mine and he wished me well after calling me a 'She-Devil'." Rebekah mused.

"Saw no one." Aurora said.

"Does my dad count?" Davina asked. "Cause he's the only one I saw and that he's happy that I'm living my life my way."

"I saw Bonnie." Kol admitted before turning to Elijah. "She wanted to tell you that she's sorry but for some reason, she couldn't enter your mind so I'm assuming that Davina did something to it."

Davina shook her head.

"I didn't." Davina told him. "I haven't used mind-magic in a while."

The figure stood at the back of the church and was dressed in a black strapless dress with her long dirty blonde hair pleated down her back as she smiled at Elijah for her thoughtful gesture.

She was calling this her little gift for her brother who was proving himself to be devoted and truly in love with the wolf girl who was expecting.

As everyone was walking to the cemetery where the priest was going to be buried, Elena felt heat well up within her and she was a bit wobbly.

Elijah was worried and when he went to say something, she collapsed in his arms.

Elena woke up in the courtyard of the Compound and as she sat up from where she was laying, she placed a hand on her bump with a smile. Baby girl was still kicking and as she looked around her, it was all in black and white with cool blue tones.

"Hello girl." She turned her head to see a man there in a casual looking suit. "Welcome to my Hell!"

He lunged for her, only to be thrown backwards. She looked to see a woman with straight brown hair and cruel eyes.

"We have much to discuss." The woman said in a sickly sweet voice.

Elijah was pacing and throwing things out of windows, feeling his anger bubble to the surface when he felt Kol's presence behind him.

"I can get help here but I need to know that you won't hurt the person." Kol said.

"I don't care who you get! Just get someone to help! I can't lose her or the baby!" Elijah looked and nearly sounded broken.

Kol had never heard his brother sound like that and he knew just how much Elena's survival depended on his humanity.

If he lost her, he'd be as bitter as ever and begin to realize that love was his greatest weakness.

Three hours, that's how long Kol had to wait until Bonnie Bennett entered the house with two blondes.

"The Parker twins, correct?" Kol asked and at their nod, he smiled.

He just hoped that Elena and the baby survive this…if they didn't survive this, he had a feeling that his brother will indefinitely shut it off.
