Part 23 – Uninvited guests
Bonnie and Damon had Patrice officiate their hand fasting alongside Jackson and Hayley who had their ceremony officiated by Jackson's grandmother. Hope was the most adorable flower girl as she took her place between Klaus and Caroline, her head leaning softly on Caroline's huge belly.
It was a splendid sight as the eyes of the wolves' glowed yellow as Hayley's ceremony was concluded and Bonnie's glowed red just as the hand fasting was completed.
"Am I going to turn into a wolf?" Bonnie asked Patrice who just smirked.
"Oh honey, you are a true descendant of Salem" Patrice smirked
"Anything my wife is involved with is amazing!" Damon gloated and Bonnie smacked him lightly on the chest.
"Before this turns into a 'whose wife is best' competition, there is a woman here who doesn't quite belong" Stefan said as he moved protectively in front of his brother and new sister in law.
"You with the hood, who are you?" Stefan demanded from a thin waif like individual at the back of the hall.
The frail woman struggled to lift her hands to her hood to revel a thin gaunt face streaked with dirt, almost soulless blue eyes and thin matted white hair which looked to once have been a rich strawberry blonde.
"Dahl – Dahlia" She gasped before falling to the floor.
Against admonishments by both Marcus and Damon; Bonnie and Davina went to the frail woman.
"Damon she's ill we need to help her"
"She just said the name of our new enemy and now you want to play nurse to her? She could be here to kill us all."
"Well we won't know until she is well enough to speak"
"It may be best that she is taken in by the Mikaelson's" Patrice interrupted.
"Did you have a vision?" Davina asked.
"Yes, the woman before you happens to be Freya Mikaelson"
"But that's impossible! Freya was taken centuries ago… she should be dead. She was not one of us" Klaus objected.
"She has been asleep for a long time…" Patrice said after touching the girl's hand.
"What do we do?" Rebekah asked Elijah who looked to Klaus.
"Take her home, restrain her the same way we have Kol… When she comes to we can figure this out" Caroline answered with a hiss.
"Right now – these babies are coming!" With that, the power within 7 miles of Caroline went out making bulbs and televisions explode.
"Why are they coming now?" Klaus demanded. They knew Caroline's pregnancy had accelerated when Mikael was absorbed but it slowed down. They had a week or 2 left.
"They want to come into the world. You men make way!" Patrice ordered as he flung off his coat and motioned to Rebekah to carry her new sister in law.
"In the middle of the graveyard is just fine. Anyone who can be magically drained to the point of death needs to stay away which means everyone except Bonnie and Davina."
"I can help too" Kol offered only to be smacked up the head by Marcel.
"Why can't you take her to the house?"
"These children are pumped with really strong magic…. We need wide open space" Patrice said rolling up his sleeves and carrying a basin of water out into the grave yard. Stay here"
Caroline was pale and in pain as the twins started draining her with a vengeance.
"She isn't looking good Patrice" Bonnie said as she propped a very weak Caroline against her chest.
"Sorry babe" Bonnie said as she concentrated on Damon and pulled his energy to her to feed into Caroline. Damon fell to his knees breathlessly.
"Damon!" Stefan roared crouching protectively over his brother.
"It's okay, just the wife draining me… it's kinda hot" Damon smirked then hissed.
"I'm going out there" Klaus announced only to be stopped by Hayley.
"You will get drained"
"But I won't die." Klaus said confidently appearing next to Bonnie in the blink of an eye.
"You shouldn't be here" Bonnie said.
"It's his choice. I have warned the leeches. Bonnie you need to get Caroline coherent." Patrice ordered as he cut away at Caroline's clothing under a sheet, Davina keeping a close, worried eye beside him.
"That's a lot of blood" Davina said.
"That's not blood, its amniotic fluid" Patrice said as he prepared the towels beneath Caroline.
"She's fully dilated, I need her to push." Patrice said as Bonnie gently patted Caroline's face as Klaus was drained.
"Bon-" Caroline hissed.
"Hun it's time. You're going to meet your babies."
"I don't know if I can do this" Caroline whimpered.
"It's hurts."
"It's because your vampire body keeps trying to repair itself. Maybe we should consider cutting them out" Patrice wondered.
"No! Sisters scared" Hope said flinging herself across Caroline's belly gently; Hayley, Jackson and Damon stopped a few feet behind them.
"I never knew a tribrid to be that fast" Damon gasped still trying to recover his energy from the drain Bonnie put him through.
"She's the only Tribrid" Hayley rolled her eyes at Damon.
"Come here honey, let's leave Patrice to do his work."
"No! Sisters need Hope" Hope said stubbornly.
"Are you sure it's safe for all of them to be out here?" Davina asked.
"This would be so much easier if she were mortal" Patrice groaned.
"Mortal…" Hope repeated and grabbed Bonnie's hand placing it on Caroline's belly along with hers.
There was a blinding red haze surrounding Bonnie's vision, Davina reached out for Bonnie and was caught in the same electrifying energy.
"I am the beginning and the end. Daughter, mother and crone. The Alpha and the Omega. I am her and she is me. We are Gaia, we are the balance we are the darkness and the light." Bonnie, Davina and Hope said in a trance.
Every vampire in close proximity of Caroline screamed bloody murder as the magic that brought them to life was sucked out of them. Damon fell first followed by Klaus, Bonnie's eyes glowed red as the energy of the earth enveloped her. She could feel every creature around her, she could feel the circle of life, she was the circle of life.
When Bonnie, Davina and Hope awoke from their daze Caroline was shouting expletives to high heaven as Kai propped her up while Patrice screamed one more push. Soon the graveyard resounded with 2 strong screams.
"Damon!" Bonnie screamed as she ran to her husband who lay on the ground beside Stefan.
"What the hell just happened" Davina demanded from Patrice, eyeing an astonished Elijah and Marcus who stood far back in the arch of the church.
"I don't know…. My gift has been slightly impaired with all the magic in the air. Help me with the girls then we can figure it out" Patrice said removing the afterbirth.
