SORRY it took so long! I was trying to write it out but I couldn't! I'll try to do the next chapter a little bit better!

RECAP:

"You're...you're..." Elijah couldn't believe what he was hearing. His wife, his love, his mate was pregnant.

With his child.

Like she was when she had died all those years ago.

She looked up at him and smiled lightly. "Are you happy?" she asked.

He smiled and kissed her deeply before pulling away. "Extremely lovely, I'm extremely happy."

Chapter 7: New Orleans and The Originals

As both girls walked into their father's plantation house, they could hear their mother's giggles and their father's laughter, they rolled their eyes as Kol began to shout, "I'M HERE!" in an eerie voice.

"Poltergeist? Really?" they groaned and he nodded.

"It was great fun to watch. Not nearly as fun as watching Thirteen Ghosts and making Klaus get scared."

Elijah, hearing that, shook his head and as he carried his wife into the living room where he found his son with…

"Azalea? Liliya?" At their nods, Elijah sat his wife down on the couch and flashed over to his girls, hugging and holding them in his arms.

His family was whole and complete again.

"Over the course of my long life, I have come to believe that we are bound forever to those with whom we share blood. And, while we may not choose our family, that bond can be our greatest strength... or our deepest regret. This unfortunate truth has haunted me for as long as I can recall."

Daniel mulled over the words that he had written over three hundred years ago while he thought about who he was talking about when a small hand was placed in between his shoulder blades.

A smile lit his face as he pulled the girl onto his lap and begun to play with her hair. It had been a week earlier when she had been in a car accident caused by Caroline and it had not resulted in Bianca's transition but also in Caroline's death by his hand.

He had made the decision to go home.

He was going back to New Orleans, to figure out what was going on with Klaus and this time, instead of leaving Bianca here, he was taking Bianca with him no matter what anyone says about it.

"It's time we had a little chat." Elijah said to Marcel once the man returned from Mystic Falls with Rebekah.

Though the two had been back for a month, Elijah hadn't been able to talk with the other man as he had been roped into fixing up the house and making it child proof as well as baby proof.

They still need to figure out what gender their child will be or even how many as twins run through their genetic make.

The other man nodded and as they sat down at a café, both men with coffee in hand, Elijah spoke.

"The witches are after blood-your blood specifically. I can stop them or even try to but I need to know why."

Marcel nodded. He had known about Elijah's past and now, that he had the people that he loved truly back, he would annihilate anyone who would harm them.

"It's like this…" and the supposed 'King of New Orleans' told him about the Harvest Ritual and what should have happened.

Camille looked at the new girl-she looked maybe sixteen or so but as she had handed her an ID just to take a seat, she had ordered a pitcher of lemonade.

"So, what brings you to the Big Easy?" Cami was trying to be friendly but the girl looked at her and smiled.

"I used to live here." Her voice had a bit of a Bulgarian accent but it was overlayed with a British one.

Cami seemed surprised. "Really? When?"

"If you were to ask that to my uncles, they would say 'Oh, feels like a hundred years ago' but as I just moved here from a small town, it's getting hard to go from place to place and not know anyone."

Cami nodded and felt a little sorry for her. "I just moved here myself. What brought you back?"

The girl pulled her dark hair back while her blue eyes shone with light and warmth that contradicted her whole 'dark' appearance. "Well, a friend of mine is here somewhere. I'm afraid he might've gotten himself into a bit of a bind."

"You say that like it's a common occurrence."

"Well, he's complicated. Defiant, ill-mannered, and a little temperamental and hateful as his stepfather was an abusive ass."

Apparently, the girl had no filter either.

It was that night that he watched Marcel kill Jane-Anne after he had informed Klaus of what the witches had wanted to do and what their punishment happens to be.

The two brothers weren't there, however, for this part but Daniel was as he watched.

"I gotta tell you, Soph, this street corner has not proven the luckiest spot for your family tonight. Not half an hour ago, we had to teach your sister a little lesson." Marcel had said to the witch.

Sophie glared at him. "We're putting her to rest, Marcel. Leave us alone."

"I never said you could move the body. Matter of fact, I left her here for a reason- send a message. If anybody is thinking of joining some kind of rebellion, my rules state that witches can't practice magic in the Quarter. And yet, a little birdy informed me that Jane-Anne was cooking up something magically delicious. Oh, yeah. While I have you, quick Q and A. My old friend, the hybrid, Klaus? He just happened to show up out of the blue, asking for, of all people, Jane-Anne. Any idea why?"

Sophie shrugged and lied to him. "I don't know. Witches don't get involved in vampire business."

Apparently, even Marcel knew that she was lying.

This was making things interesting.

Daniel, after dropping Bianca off at his brother's house, he had just started walking down the street, watching everyone mingle after watching Marcel and Sophie Deveraux when a female voice called out.

"Are you gonna continue following me, Daniel, or do you wanna talk?"

Daniel was surprised. "You know who I am."

"Original vampire, always wears a suit." She looked at him as he shook his head.

"You've never met my twin brother Elijah then-he wears a suit as well."

The woman huffed but continued like he had never interrupted her. "You and your family are famous amongst the witches. Especially with your... brother back in town."

Daniel shook his head and knew that Klaus thought that something was happening or that people were conspiring against him.

If only they knew that those same people would end up dead because of him and his family, things would be simpler.

Once all the vampires were destroyed, Daniel turned to Sophie and it was Bianca (who just appeared) who questioned her.

"What did your sister want with Klaus?"

Sophie didn't answer at first until Bianca had her pinned to a wall and bared her teeth.

"Isn't it obvious? We have a vampire problem, and we need help. Marcel has an army backing him. The witches have been trying to fight back. We haven't had much luck. Until my sister, Jane-Anne, met a girl, a werewolf passing through the Quarter from a small town in Virginia. She had a special... connection to your brother." Sophie began to sing like a canary.

"What kind of connection?" Daniel demanded, allowing his anger to bleed through his calm aura.

The witch kept singing. "Apparently, they spent some... time together. One thing led to another and now, this special werewolf girl, she's pregnant. And, the father of the child she's carrying is your brother, Klaus."

Bianca looked at them. "That's impossible."

"Nothing's impossible, especially when it comes to your brother."

Hayley looked at Daniel and Elijah while Elena was holding Bianca back from slaughtering the witches. "Who the hell are you two?"

"I'm Daniel," Daniel told her soothingly. "This is my twin brother Elijah."

Though the two wanted to show her their life before this nonsense came into their lives, they were still unsure until Klaus came in and when Elena told him, he rounded on Hayley.

"You've been with someone else, admit it!"

Hayley started to shout at Klaus. "Hey! I have spent days held captive in a friggin' alligator bayou because they think that I'm carrying some magical miracle baby. Don't you think I would have fessed-up if it wasn't yours!?"

Klaus looked at Sophie with utter hatred in his eyes. "Don't you dare kill her and the baby she carries or it'll be your head that rolls on out of here!"

That simple sentence made all the witches pale as he left.

Agnes looked at Sophie with a dark look in her eyes. "What makes you think that you can control the hybrid!?"

Sophie looked at Elijah to Elena to Daniel to Bianca and spoke. "Anything that happens to me, happens to her, which means her life is in my hands!"

Elena stormed over to Sophie and snarled in her face. "If I could, I would end you for threatening my family but know this-once that spell is gone you better run as I will kill you myself, understand?"

Elijah grinned and helped Hayley up as Daniel went to talk with Klaus and Bianca went to Elena.

They were going to head home.

Marcel snarled at Klaus as they were in the Abbatoir."What's mine is yours, but it is mine! My home, my family, my rules! I'm not the prince of the Quarter, friend, I'm the KING!"

"No-you will always be the prince." They both looked to see the same girl there and with a wicked smirk that mimicked Klaus' perfectly, she began to growl at him much like a wolf would. "I don't consider you a King-no one really should, anyway." With a flick of her hair over her shoulder, she sauntered off and out of the Abbatoir.

Klaus turned back to Marcel and finished what he was saying. "Your friend will be dead by weekend, which means I have broken one of your rules... and yet, I cannot be killed. I am immortal. Who has the power now, friend?" Marcel was furious but accepted his help.

Marcel looked around. "I assume it's all quiet out there."

Davina nodded."The witches know better than to use magic. They know that I can sense it when they do." Now, she began to lie a bit. "What about the Old Ones? They're dangerous, and I don't want them to hurt you."

Marcel snorted. "The Originals? Davina, as powerful as you are, they don't stand a chance."

They do stand a chance against me she thought as she recalled her conversation with Kol and his two sisters.

Her two new friends.

"Father! It hurts!" Klaus called out to Mikael as he was changing into a Hybrid. He could feel the pain and he couldn't control the screams coming from his mouth.

Klaus woke up and saw Hayley was outside, sitting and looking torn between throwing things and crying. Getting up, he went over to her and sat beside her like he had done before this whole thing about her being pregnant crept up.

Klaus looked at her and sighed. "Right now, you're one of the most important people in this family as Elena is also expecting. You need a good home." He took a sigh and a beat later, spoke. "So, I'm curious. In all this time, has anyone asked you how you feel?"

"About having a miracle baby?" she asked.

He snorted a bit. "About being a mother." He said lightly as he remembered Elijah had asked Elena that same thing when she was pregnant with Kol.

She had been ecstatic about it.

Hayley began to stutter and whisper. "I...I was abandoned when I was born, and my adoptive parents kicked me out the second I turned into a wolf. So, I don't really know how I feel about being a mother because I, I never really had a good one."

Klaus felt a bit of sadness for her. "I will always protect you. You have my word on that."

"And it'll be up to me to make sure he keeps his word." Elena said as she appeared behind them but her expression softened as she saw Hayley. "I can help you, you know. I've had three children."

Hayley nodded and accepted her help. She would need it immensely.

"The bond of family blesses us with an immeasurable power. But we also must accept what comes with it. It gives us a responsibility to love without condition, without apology. We can never waiver from the power of that bond, even when it is tested. The bond nourishes us, gives us strength. Without that power, we are nothing."

Elijah closed his journal and smiled as he saw his wife start to rub her abdomen lovingly.

"Girls-please go to sleep." Elena said as she went into their rooms and saw that they were up with books opened in front of them.

Each one looked at her and shook their heads. "As we've moved here permanently, we need to fix up these last few things in our papers and send them to our teachers before the end of the semester."

"You can do that in the morning." Elijah denied as he walked over to each of them and placed kisses on the tops of their heads.

The two groaned and as they put their books away and had pulled the blankets up over to their shoulders, they called out, "night momma and daddy" before falling asleep.

Elijah smiled and kissed his wife's temple. "Everyone is fine."

She nodded but she was still worried.

As everyone was settled, a gentle knocking could be heard and as Elijah opened it, he saw the young girl.

"Angeline? What are you doing here?" She smiled warmly at him.

"It's time for me to fix your minds and I only want to help-even if that wolf girl is indeed carrying my half sibling."

Didn't expect that now did you? Originally, Angeline would have been a bit of a minor character or even barely seen but I decided to go with combining what would have been the re-hauled version of this and this version of this together and the next chapter will go more into Angeline's bond with the Mikaelsons (though Elena and the girls already know what it is while the vampires were spelled to forget everything)

The next chapter will mostly be italicized and have part of the re-hauled version of this
