Part 20 - foresight

The trip to Patrice's little hovel was quiet with Caroline staring daggers into Elena while trying to calm her very active children. Davina was out cold against the window as Marcel drove, wondering which God wrote this particular moment of his life.

"Davina wake up"

"5 more minutes."

"Now Davina, we're here. You need to go warm up Patrice for us."

"Why me" Davina winced as she tried to work a kink out her neck.

"You have adorable puppy eyes now put them to use" Caroline snapped still trying to get the twins to settle down.

"Fine" Davina huffed before stomping over to the wooden door and using the shiny brass knocker.

"Coming!" A high pitched male voice shouted from within the house then the door opened and the smell of freshly baked bread wafted out. Davina's suddenly hungry stomach let out an involuntary growl.

"Honey child, you look a mess. What brings you to Patrice's door?"

"Well; I just fought against, a resurrected original vampire, body hopping Mikaelson witches, all to protect 3 hybrid babies. Two of which are in that car, in the womb of a vampire friend of mine and happen to be energy draining Gemini witches, the last of the coven to be exact. By the way I'm starving." Davina said side stepping the very confused ex witch as she helped herself to bread which was cooling on the table.

"Marcel brought us here" Davina said through a mouth full of bread.

"He thought you could help us"

"Witches making friends with vampires, especially Marcel Gerard, what have things come too." Patrice said as he pulled his purple pashmina tighter around his shoulders eying the SUV from his porch.

"The pregnant vampire may enter. You Marcel Gerard stay out!" Patrice announced after a few minutes of contemplation.

"Watch her, don't be afraid to snap her neck" Caroline hissed as she glared at a gagged Elena once more.

"Caroline Forbes" Caroline announced with her left hand held out while her right held her womb protectively.

"I won't hurt you child – not unless you give me reason to. Come in – this chill won't be good for the babies in there"

"Girls" Patrice announced with flourish once Caroline had entered.

"Girls?" Davina questioned once more with her mouth full.

"The twins the vampire is carrying." Patrice said as he placed his hands over Caroline's stomach.

"You are going to have challenges with them, especially at the time of the merge…" Patrice said with sadness.

"That's if they live long enough to see the merge. We have a Mikaelson problem"

"They will live… I may have given up my magic but they were not able to take away my sight – I saw their futures and yours. A challenging life but one that will fulfil you. The witches will no longer be a problem but you need to be with their father right now."

"Their father is dead" Caroline said in confusion.

"Oh I think you know what I mean. You will encounter many powerful foes – but you will all be saved." Patrice said with a twinkle in his eye.

"I will see you once they are born – yes… I will have much to teach"

"Does that mean Alaric is coming back as a vampire?" Davina asked finally satiated.

"I think I know what he means… and it annoys me" Caroline said in a huff as she headed for the door.

"So what are we going to do? Did I miss something?" Davina asked.

"First we're going to drop off Elena with Kai, then we're going to Klaus."

"Is that wise? He's fighting the Mikaelsons"

"I'm dead in either case – might as well go down swinging" Caroline said feeling an odd swirl off energy being pushed into her.

Damon and Stefan arrived to a blood bath, there were lifeless vessels of fallen New Orlean witches strewn across the lawn. Bonnie had her teeth bared as she sat in a psychic force field with a little child in her lap while the Mikaelson siblings were being a beating from a dark haired witch. Damon would have admired the scene of his girl if his brother didn't suddenly fly right past him into a wall.

"Hello Demon" Damon rolled his eyes at the smart accent.

"Kol, it's been a while. Last I saw you, you were burning with a wooden oak stake in your chest." Damon smirked as anger clouded the eyes of the dark haired vessel before him.

"I must say this vessel you have chosen is quite the improvement." Kol decided he would use a psychic attack on Damon what he did not expect was for Damon to vanish into a cloud of mist and a growling black wolf to take his place.

"Run off and leave one of the ill-fated wolves to fight for you" Kol screamed into the night.

"Actually… that is Damon" A recovered Stefan said as approached Kol from the other side and Damon launched himself at the youngest Mikaelson tearing flesh off his arm. Kol screamed into the night, his piercing voice distracting his mother long enough for Rebecca and Klaus to impale her.

"You lose again mother, there are no hosts left for you to jump." Klaus said with finality as he fed his blood to her and snapped her neck.

"Nooooo" Kol screamed while trying to prevent himself from bleeding out to death.

"Do you know what you've done! You've doomed us all. She's coming – mother was all that was keeping her back!" Kol screamed before he lost conscience.

"Who's coming?" Damon asked Klaus who shrugged and turned towards Bonnie.

"Whoever it is they will be defeated. For now… I must see my daughter" Klaus's eyes softened in a way Damon thought was impossible as he approached the dark haired girl that peeked at him from behind Bonnie.

"Hope" Klaus said holding out his arms towards the toddler.

"Go on sweetheart" Bonnie smiled in a way that made Damon's insides turn painfully. He wanted to see her direct that smile at their own offspring.

"There are other options" Stefan said quietly studying his brother's reaction to Bonnie.

"That's what she said" Damon smiled sadly remembering their whispered plans for their new life during their tryst.

"I am going to marry that girl" Damon said with a grin as Bonnie walked towards them.

"Baby – you were great"

"I just protected the child I didn't do much – you protected her too. Didn't you feel me draw on you?" Bonnie asked as she went up on her toes to peck him.

"I was wondering what that was but I was busy carrying Dopey over" Damon said smacking Stefan up the head.

"Feeling better?" Bonnie asked the younger Salvatore.

"Yeah – it was just a lot to take in…"

"Elena?"

"Caroline's problem"

"Good God. She might be dead by now – she threatened Care's babies"

"Caroline is far too strong to be led by emotions" Klaus said as he walked over with his siblings. Hope was clinging to Rebekah.

They turned towards the sound of an engine as Marcel's SUV came into view.

Damon turned towards Bonnie and handed her a pair of manacles.

"Porkie said you asked for these."

"Yes, they're the magic cancelling" Bonnie said as she slapped them on Kol's form.

"You can heal him now" She announced to Elijah as she sank into Damon's side.

"So it's done?" Caroline asked as she took in the lifeless bodies.

"For now" Damon sighed and kicked Kol's lifeless form which was coming too.

"But you have Kol. I am assuming Mother Mikaelson is dead"

"Well this little psychopath was going on about someone coming, Ester is going to be transitioning pretty soon… I don't want to think about the type of hell Klaus has in store for her" Damon shrugged.

"Wow – you actually have a baby" Davina said in aww as she crouched behind Rebekah looking into the sleeping child's face.

"Baby witch, you're alive!"

"I was never in any actual danger. You on the other hand" Davina smirked then noticed Marcel watching Rebekah holding the baby with a lost expression. She turned away embarrassed for intruding on Marcel's private moment.

"So what do we do now?" Caroline asked as Klaus put his hands over her womb, almost as if assuring himself the little lives inside Caroline were fine.

"Go home – we all need rest. You should come with me though." Klaus seemed to be pleading with his eyes. Caroline was about to object when she noticed the sleeping child in Rebekah's arms then she understood Klaus's panic.

"Sure" Caroline nodded towards Damon and Bonnie.

"Oh, Elena is in your basement until we find a way to pin Alaric's murder on her." Caroline said and Bonnie paled.

"Maybe we should stick together and regroup at Klaus's place." Stefan sighed.

"I can arrange it" Marcel said with a smirk, seemingly out of his daze.

"Arrange?" Rebekah questioned as she handed the sleeping child to Klaus.

"I can pin it all on Elena..." Marcel opened his arms indicting the carnage around them.

"We just have to move the bodies. We need a believable story for all these corpses in any case"

"I'll help" Both Rebekah and Davina offered at the same time.

"Do what you need to" Klaus nodded.

The morning's paper held the story of a love sick crazed pre-med student who went on a murderous rampage razing a building full of revelers to the ground in an alcohol fused rage. Stefan watched from the shadows as the last piece of his old life was sealed in a police van.

A/N: Pretty anti climatic I know but I really wanted a way to redeem Kol... I am really digging the Kol and Davina pairing - they're so cute I'm going to die! Not as cute as Kim Taehyung - nothing is cuter than Kim Taehyung and nothing will ever be cuter than Kim Taehyung. Kol will be redeemed and with Davina by the end of this. Thank you to everyone who read my update and reviewed - I love you guys more than I love Kim Taehyung (for realzies)

There was a question about Damon being a hybrid and unable to have kids... Klaus was able to have a kid with Hayley because they were both wolves... Bonnie though powerful is not a wolf... but don't worry my Bamonators I got your back ;)

Love
