Sorry for the long wait my life has been a bit of a mess and I kind of lost the inspiration to write. But I'm back I hope you like the new chapter.
I do not own TVD or the characters.
Present day Mystic Falls
Carolena woke up to a cold bed and a growling stomach but due to all the modern conveniences Rebekah had been teaching her she knew she wouldn't have to go far to find food. She climbed out of bed and pulled on the pants Rebekah had loaned her and put on one of Nik's shirts that was hanging out of his bag on.
Then she began her venture downstairs into what Rebekah called the kitchen. Only to find that the cupboards and fridge were empty of anything edible for a human. So she started to search the house for one of the Mikaelson's that she could convince into getting her food.
In the front entrance she bumped into Kol who was staring at the front door smirking.
"I don't know much about this modern world but I don't think that door feels the same way about you" She commented to him.
"Ah sweetheart it's not the door but the lovely witch outside debating whether to knock" he responded, without turning to her. "But I think I'll surprise her"
"Greetings, little witch did you miss me?" Kol said opening the door to a surprised Bonnie.
"Kol? But Jeremy killed you" Bonnie said, surprise evident on her features.
"But I am back it seems someone on the other side deems me redeemable"
"I just need to speak to Caroline, is she here?" in answer to her question I stepped into her line of sight.
"Caroline? I like the sound of that much more modern and flows easier on the tongue" I remark.
"Oh sorry I didn't even realise" She fumbled on her words. "Can we talk in private?" She asked eyeing Kol warily.
"You're in a house full of Originals love, I don't think private is possible" Kol said still smirking at her, it was also that moment my stomach growled. "And I think my dear sister is quite hungry as well"
"That is exactly what I was looking for" I told him.
"Oh you poor damsel you must be starving in your tower, I King Kol will send somebody else to retrieve you food"
"Why thank you kind sir" I say sarcastically. "You can come in Bonnie, we can probably find somewhere to talk."
I led Bonnie to the nearest sitting room hoping Kol would get food for me quickly.
"Alright. What did you want to talk about?" I ask, sitting to face her on the opposite couch.
"I was contacted by Esther a few months back from the other side." Bonnie began. "She told me that in one of Klaus' coffins a woman carried a child that could either be the world's savior or destruction. She said the most powerful being, Silas a two thousand year old being was waking up and that your child is the only way to stop him."
Caroline placed her arms around her stomach protectively. "How's that possible?"
"After Esther contacted me I made contact with the other witch that put you in the coffin."
"Ayanna" Caroline gasped.
"Yes. She told me that when a witch is killed their powers usually go into the ground but in your case your child who was still growing absorbed the powers instead. So it absorbed the power of the original witch plus two of her descendants' powers."
"Who else was a witch?"
"Me and Bekah, darling" a voice said from the doorway. Caroline turned slightly and saw Kol leaning against the door frame with a sad look in his eye. "I mean they weren't much our powers were just starting to develop, and we had to keep it hidden from father."
"Not only that, but your child was already from two powerful bloodlines." Bonnie continued. "Klaus' father and Klaus are both from the original Alpha werewolf bloodline."
"I'm not sure I could put my child in that kind of danger" Carolena stressed out loud.
"Don't worry the whole original witch bloodline will be running through your child's veins and they will be werewolf, your child is going to be the most powerful being on earth." Bonnie tried to reassure her.
"Ooh, did you hear that Nik your kids going to be more powerful than you" Kol yelled, down the hallway.
"What if my baby can't handle that much power and it kills them?"
"Caroline your child was born for this and werewolf bodies and minds are stronger than witches and humans."
"I think I need some time to absorb this information" Carolena stood up on wobbly knees. "I'm going to go lie down."
Kol and Bonnie watched her stumble away sadly, they knew the power wouldn't hurt the child but it would hurt the one who loved it the most.

10th Century Mystic Falls
Niklaus Mikaelson the strongest man she knew was barely holding it together, he did his everyday tasks but it looked as if he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. She tried as hard as she could to console him but he kept pushing her away the death of Henrik robbed her of the Nik she knew. It had been a fortnight and she knew that if she didn't step up now she would lose her Niklaus forever.
Carolena had been feeling sick to her stomach all day but she had a plan and a little bout of sickness wouldn't stop her. So when he came into the house after a long day's work she put her plan into motion.
"Niklaus, your brother was telling me you declined his offer to go on the family hunting trip." She spoke the words softly.
"Mhm" he grumbled while tending to the fire.
"I suppose you want to skip the family dinner as well."
"Mmm" he mumbled again barely listening to her.
"You haven't spoken to your family except in formalities since . . ." Carolena choked on the end of her sentence, he hadn't even looked at her. "Right then is that the idea, push away the family you have left."
"Hmm" He hummed out. She still hadn't gotten a reaction out of him and she was fed up, screw the plan.
"Argh" She yelled, throwing a wooden spoon at him. "Niklaus, give me a reaction look at me!"
When the spoon hit him he spun towards her his eyes wide in surprise.
"Seriously?" she snapped at him. "Now you look at me. You know Niklaus you're not the only one hurting and removing yourself from your family does nothing but hurt me – them more" By this point her eyes began to water, she didn't know why she was crying her emotions seemed to be on high lately.
"Carolena" He said.
"Well my husband speaks to me again." She choked out through her tears.
"Don't cry my love" He whispered pulling her to his chest. "I do not know what I did to wrong you but I am truly sorry."
When he said this her anger ignited again.
"You have not kissed me or made love to me you have barely spoken a word to me in a fortnight and I want the man I married returned home to me."
"I killed Henrik, love I cannot just move on from that."
"So you make everyone else suffer for it? His death was not your fault he went into the woods on his own free will."
"I was supposed to protect him!" He shouted, his eyes beginning to water.
"This world is a cruel place Niklaus you cannot protect everyone." She yelled back. "You are still so blinded by your own guilt and pain you cannot see that everyone else is hurting around you"
"Because I killed Henrik – "
"No." she cut him off. "Because those wolves might as well have killed you as well."
"You're right." He said stepping back. "They should've killed me as well."
"Nik. That is not what I meant to say"
"But it is what you believe" He said, his face going blank.
"Niklaus will you please listen to me for a moment?" she asked, her tears returning. She stepped closer to him again. "What I am saying is that the man I loved went into those woods and he did not return. But I love him and I need him, I am not strong enough to live in this world on my own.
She turned away from him and buried her face in her hands, sobbing. "Why did you leave me Nik?"
"I am so sorry my love. I did not know" He pulled her body into his and she buried her face in his chest. "Carolena I will love you always and forever do not forget that. I have not meant to be so distant."
He picked her up and carried her into their bed, holding her tightly to his chest.
"Forgive me, my love."
"Always" I whisper back and press my lips softly into his and then lie back into his chest feeling his tears soak my hair.

Present day Mystic Falls
She had just collapsed onto the bed when Niklaus entered the room.
"Are you alright, my love?" He asked.
"I am not sure Nik." She said staring at the wall. "Everything is too surreal I am not sure I can do this on my own."
"You don't have to be alone I will never leave you or our child." He reassured and she smiled weakly at him.
"Can you lie with me?"
"Of course love." He then took of his shoes and pulled her into his chest inhaling her scent into him.
"I do hope my food shows up soon" she mumbles into his chest.
"Don't fret my love it will arrive promptly." He smiled, holding back a laugh at her mood change.
