Part 16 – Prophecy

"It's so strange" Stefan said in wonder as he offered his life force to the twins Caroline carried. It had been a few days since his breakthrough at Camille's and Damon had him and Caroline sitting each other while he went out for pack business. It was a strange new world that his brother had brought him to.

"You get used to it, Klaus and Hayley are always feeding them." Caroline shrugged.

"You hear from Alaric?" Stefan asked.

"Mom said he's all vengeance and fire, he's tracking down the entire coven" Caroline said with apprehension.

"What happens if he dies?"

"He had better not! I am not raising kids! I'm stuck with them because Jo and her younger siblings transferred them into my body before their coven tore them apart."

"What happens if he does though?"

"You're sounding like Klaus" Caroline huffed.

"I can't, this isn't what I planned for myself." Caroline said in mild panic.

"Hey, maybe we can get Damon to talk some sense into him."

"More like he'll convince Damon to go along with his Gemini coven killing ways… Damon will drag Bonnie with him and the 3 of them will go on a murderous rampage."

"Bonnie isn't like that"

"Have you met Damon's Bonnie?" Caroline asked with a raised brow.

"So why did they want to kill the babies in any case?"

"They had a seer who saw a coven of 4 children destroy every last one of them. Jo's twins being 2 of them."

"I think Rick is already taking care of that part." Stefan sighed moving his hand tiredly as the pull on his life force stopped.

"You feeling okay there bud?" Caroline asked the pasty vampire.

"Probably need a little blood." Like magic Kai appeared with a blood bag in one hand and a feather duster in the other.

"Um… thanks"

"At least one person appreciates me" Kai sulked then vanished again doing his chores.

"Where did you get him from?"

"He's Bonnie and Damon's pet." Caroline shrugged.

"Sometimes I'm afraid this is all a dream and I'll wake up and Damon won't be here anymore…"

"Hey, this is as real as it gets magic pregnancy, hybrids, Bonnie whose okay with murder and Damon in a werewolf pack." Caroline said bored then perked up when she heard Bonnie's car pull up.

"Hey guys, you good?" Bonnie asked as she plopped her notebook and grimoires down followed by a young teen girl.

"Yeah, who's your friend?" Caroline asked.

"This is Davina, Marcel's ward. She's finally seen the light" Bonnie said throwing her hands up dramatically. While the teen sulked.

"Davina, this is my best friend Caroline and Damon's brother Stefan."

"They're vampires, you live in a house surrounded by vampires" Davina hissed.

"It will take some time to knock the 'judgy' out of her." Bonnie said with a sigh.

"It took you dying how many times?" Damon asked as he and Hayley entered the living room.

"I can still give you an aneurysm." Bonnie said with a raised brow.

"But you won't" Damon answered as he gave her a quick peck on the temple and rested his hand on her hip.

"Get a room." Hayley sighed.

"Pack problems?" Bonnie asked.

"Worse… some of my pack have turned to Ester… they are questioning whether the marriage will really give them control over their transformation."

"I could make them moon rings… even the playing field" Bonnie said slapping Damon's wondering hand from her ass.

"No, there is no place for fence sitters in the pack." Damon said sharing a look with Hayley.

"Jackson has a difference of opinion from the two of us." Hayley said plopping beside Caroline and rubbing her little bump.

"If we give them the rings and they come back who's to say they won't become turncoats for something else in the future." Damon shrugged and grabbed Bonnie's hand before she swatted it away from her ass again.

"If they can't stay loyal now then there is no reason for them to remain in my pack." Hayley replied.

"The wedding is still on right? I put a lot of effort in and I will be pissed if there is no wedding." Caroline practically launched herself on Hayley.

"A small disagreement is not going to cancel the wedding. I swear someone would think you were the one getting married."

"I like planning things, weddings, parties, bachelorette parties."

"Speaking of bachelorette parties, we need to start thinking of yours."

"Oooohhhh I know! You can hire Marcel." Damon sniggered and the trio shot him dirty looks while Davina and Stefan looked at him confused.

"Why would you hire Marcel?" Davina asked as Damon's eyes twinkled in mischief.

"Once upon a time these three tried to molest the guy, it took Elijah, Klaus and myself to save the man's virtue" Damon said in mock scandal as Caroline threw Stefan's empty mug at him only to hit Klaus as he entered….

"Soo your mother wants me dead too." Caroline sighed into Bonnie's bosom as Klaus broke the news that Ester wanted to destroy Caroline and the children within her.

"Is this about the prophecy?" Davina asked Klaus.

"How do you know about it?"

"They said that a coven of 4 would one day free the quarter from the ancestral witches. That they would end the subjugation of living witches by those who have passed. I left the quarter witches because they wanted to kill infants. How can anyone kill an infant?"

"So now killing babies is a problem? You didn't think that they had killed Hayley not too long ago before you put all your eggs in their basket." Bonnie asked with a raised brow.

"That was different."

"Different how?" Davina was silent as she looked down at her own feet.

"This is what I was talking about when I said the ancestors are a bunch of hypocritical fucktards."

"Language baby!" Damon teased and winked at Bonnie as he bopped her on the nose and sat on the arm rest next to her.

"Oh fuck off." Bonnie rolled her eyes at Damon as she stroked Caroline's hair.

"I just realized…. Hope will be one of the 4." Caroline said sitting up.

"What do you mean?" Klaus asked.

"A coven of 4 witches, Hope is a witch hybrid, she'll probably be the strongest witch to walk the face of the earth. Alaric's twins are definitely siphon witches which makes them strong as well, they can absorb any kind of magic it makes them pretty lethal."

"But who will be the fourth…" Stefan asked unconsciously looking Bonnie's way.

"No no no no no…. I don't think so" Bonnie said.

"Why not you, you're a Bennett, it's a strong line." Damon asked without thinking.

"I don't want to have a child with anyone" Bonnie said in annoyance waking up from her spot on the couch and motioning Hayley to take her spot and storming away.

"Did I say something?" Damon asked the 2 women who were now glaring at him.

"You are an idiot."

"Is there something wrong with Bon, some kind of fertility problem?" Damon asked the girls who glared even harder.

"The fertility problem is with you Damon" Klaus said sombrely as realization dawned on Damon.

"I'm an idiot." Damon sighed.

"How about we do dinner at my place?" Klaus offered looking around the room.

"That's a wonderful idea! Let's go" Caroline responded basically leaping off the sofa and grabbing Davina by the arm.

"I don't wa-" Davina's protest was cut off by the glare Caroline gave her.

"You are going to Klaus's for dinner." Caroline said dragging the almost catatonic teen.

"Thanks" Damon nodded at Klaus before heading to the staircase at human speed.

"Just, be honest. Both of you. Get everything out in the open so nothing destroys your tomorrow." Stefan called out as he followed Caroline and the captive baby witch.

Damon stood before Bonnie's closed door a full 5 minutes before opening it and dodging a grimoire.

"I come in peace!" Damon said picking up the grimoire and using it as a shield from the angry little witch.

"Well you can go out the way you came. We have guests. Don't cause a scene." Bonnie hissed.

Damon pointed his index finger to his ear then held it up as the sound of his SUV's engine drifted into Bonnie's room.

"We have the house to ourselves." Damon shrugged with predatory bedroom eyes and a small devastating smirk. Bonnie gulped, as she felt her anger slightly give way to more basal emotions…
