Alexandta27, there's a part just for you in here. I wasn't planning it originally, but I like what I can do with it, so yeah! Enjoy :)

If, during Davina's part, the sister is referred to as a he, I originally wrote one of the brothers in, not the sister. You'll see what I mean.

Just some timeline here: Klaus ran away in late March '05, met Caroline early April '05, and didn't leave until just after his birthday in 2010. They met at 15 and 17, and when he left, they were 20 and 22. Klaus didn't meet Davina until he was 23, but he lived in NOLA between 22 and 23.

If you don't like the last part, don't worry, it'll be a while before the contents come back up.

WARNINGS: talk of Mikael's abuse, slurs, mentions of underage Klaroline, (I tease you all several times,) LOTS of anxiety again, one mention of selling drugs, some implying about life for Klaus' paternal half-siblings, hinting at Davina's life before meeting Klaus, family relationships and dysfunction there, one suggestive line, and pregnancy.

As soon as Kol is out the door, Freya takes charge and forces everyone to find a seat. Fred looks around, obviously confused going from interrogation to family meeting so quick. Finn wishes that he didn't have to deal with this so soon - he also wishes that Katherine and Graham weren't there to see the spectacle, either. He's glad, honestly, that Sage isn't there in that moment.

Finn also knows, through the time spent bonding again with his little brother, that Kol would not want outsiders knowing what's going on.

Unfortantely, the room they're all in is where Graham and Katherine are living, so they can't just be kicked out. Finn thinks about it, though, remembers the dinner where Rebekah had first called, and decides.

"Katherine, Graham, I think you should take the kids and Fred down to get something to eat," he suggests. It isn't a suggestion, though, not really.

His brothers- and sister-in-law understand quickly - and god, Finn is glad his siblings have ended up with smart people, Niklaus, Kol, and Henrik not included - and take their leave. Fred looks back at Rebekah, concerned, but Graham says something lowly that makes Fred's shoulders loosen up. Katherine is last, holding Justin and Matthew's hands.

Then it's just the family.

Torunn looks extremely upset. She's sitting next to Rebekah, who isn't crying, but is on her way there. His grandparents are still sitting on the couch, and while Aerona looks a mix of sad and angry, Leif just looks shocked. Elijah has his head in his hands, and Freya is sitting on Rebekah's other side, rubbing her back.

Finn plops next to Elijah, and sighs heavily.

They all know that they're messed up. Father had done terrible things to them, physically and emotionally. It was bound to hurt them, give them problems.

But knowing that and see that are two different things.

Finn can't help but think about how Niklaus was the one Father beat physically, and Kol was the one Father beat emotionally. The worst Niklaus was ever called was bastard. Kol, the few times Father paid him attention, was called faggot, waste of space/air/food, queer, and more.

Finn and the others existed in a bubble of safety, easily popped. Niklaus and Kol didn't live in that bubble. Kol had, up until he told the family about his boyfriend at pre-school - it was harmless, and Kol actually also had a girlfriend at the time - and Father dragged him out by his heart.

Niklaus had never lived in the bubble, but Finn think if he had, Father would have pulled him out by his hair.

He doesn't have time to dwell any more, though, because Freya takes charge again and calls, "family meeting time."

It's like Torunn was waiting for someone to say that. She says quickly, "is that normal?"

His grandparents look expectant, but all the rest of them can do is shrug helplessly. It's only been a few weeks since Finn reunited with his siblings, and in that time, none of them had had a bad reaction to anything. Kol, certainly, had not had an anxiety attack around them.

Torunn makes a frustrated noise. "Does that happen to the rest of you?"

Freya nods uncomfortably, while Elijah says, "it's happened before, but not often and not recently." Rebekah nods, then starts to sob. Freya hugs her tightly, and Rebekah melts into the embrace. Finn has always been jealous of their relationship, honestly. His sisters have always clung to each other.

Torunn looks at him expectantly. "It's happened once or twice," he relents.

Leif sighs heavily, upset. Torunn switches couches to comfort him. Aerona, meanwhile, asks, "what can we do to keep that from happening again?"

Finn says, "well, I don't want to talk about foster care."

"Or Father," Elijah adds, lifting his head.

"Or any of Father's friends," Freya continues.

Rebekah sobs out, "or Mother, or Ansel, or anything!"

Finn watches the faces of his grandparents and aunt, and suddenly understands they all look angry. Not at Finn, or his siblings, but at Father.

He's always felt like the problems he and his siblings have are partially his fault. Not because Father did what he did, not because Mother stopped caring about them, but because Finn is the second oldest. He's the oldest boy. When Father started beating Niklaus, he was old enough to try and stop him.

But he never did.

He stops that train of thought, thinking, this is exactly what will cause me to have an anxiety attack.

He looks around at his siblings, and sees looks that make him think they're thinking something similar. Elijah, in particular, has dropped his head in his hands once again.

Sighing, he rubs his hand over his face. He already knows he's going to have a lot to deal with in the very near future, and if he keeps having thoughts about his childhood, it's going to be a whole lot worse.

8.22

Caroline is the most excited Liz has seen her since Tessanne won The Voice.

She came home in a hurry, and the only reason why Liz was ready for her is because Stefan gave her a heads up.

Liz really likes Stefan; he's been one of the greatest friends her daughter has ever had, and she can't appreciate him enough.

That isn't the point here, though - Caroline is talking about Klaus. The boy who came into their lives fresh off running away, skittish, in need of a shower, and practically starving. The boy who left so abruptly, his breakfast was left on the table, half-eaten and still warm. (He'd been planning it, Liz can't help but think. He'd had a bag packed, and she knew that, because his closet was mostly empty when she went looking for him.)

Liz had once loved him like a son. She'd been waiting for the day he proposed and she could actually call him that. Now, she just feels a mix of things, nothing concrete. She can't hate him, but she still feels lots of negative emotions about him. Anger, over his departure and what happened after, bitter, over how he said he felt like her house was home and over how he left so easily. Hatred, for what he did to Caroline. Still, there was love, for all the times he did things for her, like drawing her pictures or cooking dinner or getting in a fight with a boy who threatened her.

Now, as Caroline talks about him like she used to, like she's still in love with him, she feels sad. She's entertained the idea that Klaus only left because he has no idea how to deal with emotions. He'd been every bit as in love with her daughter as Caroline was with him. He'd even told her, days before he left, that he felt like he could recover with Caroline at his side.

But then he left. And now, three years later, Caroline is saying there's a plan to get him back with his siblings. All Liz has to do is call him and lie to him.

She remembers when he was seventeen, newly moved in and chafing in the clothes she'd bought for him. She'd promised she wouldn't lie to him. She had also promised he would regret it if he hurt her daughter in anyway. Back then, she'd meant physically, but it ended up being emotionally. Is she really going to break two promises, just to help him?

Caroline pulls her out of her thoughts with a plea, "please, you have to. He always wanted to get back together with all of them. He always thought he'd get better if he was with them."

Liz sighs, and says, "fine." If only because she remembers him, on the first anniversary, hiding in the woods and fighting off tears.

Caroline thanks her, and tells her that she isn't sure when the plan will be set into motion, but be ready.

Liz agrees, and watches Caroline go to her room. She does want to see Klaus again, wants to see him get better. The only problem is that she fears what he'll do when he finds out what he left behind him.

4.6

He can't help it. It's one of those times he just can't help himself.

He gets off work (night shift, aka, why god), barters with Sophie and ends up not selling anything, and trudges back home. Hayley and Tyler greet him like they always do, and he checks on the kittens. Marcel proudly shows them off. Klaus just smiles and rubs behind Marcel's ears, much to his cat's delight.

It's after he's fed them, pet Camille, and settled down with breakfast that he turns on the TV. He sees something about the Mikaelson Manhunt, and goes to turn it off, but he sees something that stops him in his tracks.

Rebekah. His baby sister.

She's wearing a wedding ring, and she's pregnant, and even though Davina had already told him all of this, he feels like he's been shot. His heart stops. He chokes on his dinner.

Tyler ruffs at him, seemingly a mix of concerned and uncaring. Hayley and Marcel move towards him. Marcel lays in his lap, and Hayley tries to eat the takeout Chinese. God, his pets are ridiculous.

He pushes them away gently, and returns his attention to the TV. Rebekah cries, and hugs their siblings. He takes in their faces like a starving man, knowing he probably won't be watching anything else about the Manhunt.

He's still watching it, trying not to fall asleep, when Davina knocks on his door. He opens the door with a playful sigh, even though he feels drained. She pushes past him gently, and steps into his apartment.

She sees the TV first, then what's on it.

She swings around, a bright smile on her face. "Are you finally going to call yourself in?"

He scowls, feeling like he has to fight her optimism with pessimism. "No."

Her mouth drops open in a way he can only describe as sassy. Her hands go to her waist like they have every time she's been pissed at him since they met. "Seriously? You'll watch them all be happy but you won't let yourself be the same?"

To think he'd been happy to see her.

All she does these days is pester him about the Manhunt. She should realize that if he wants to be sad and lonely, he gets to be sad and lonely.

He doesn't, actually, but it's better than seeing his siblings and reliving the horrors of his childhood.

"Davina, if you came here just to annoy me, you can leave. I'm too tired for this right now."

She rolls her eyes. "I actually came by to hang out, but you're acting like a dick, so yeah, I'll be going. Don't worry, I know where the door is," she snarks.

She leaves, slamming the door. He rolls his eyes, tells himself, "whatever", and goes back to the TV.

8.23

Davina grumbles, leaving in a hurry. Really, she should know better by know than to push Klaus, especially right after work. That doesn't mean she's okay with his bullshit.

Feeling petty, she decides to do another something that will only piss him off when he finds out - she's going to track down Cary, the stalker/cousin of her best friend.

Her first instinct is look online, then maybe the phone books if she's desperate, but after walking several blocks, and calming down, she decides to go back to all the places Klaus had seen Cary and start there.

The bar he works at isn't open, so she counts it as a bust. The bar he frequents is also closed. The Wal-Mart she works at is simply too big for her to check all on her own, and since she has no desire to include the zero other friends she has, she calls it a day and stops.

The Wal-Mart is a few blocks from the Starbucks Klaus works at, so she goes there, thirsty after a few hours of sleuthing.

As luck would have it, she sees his weird-looking face sitting at a table, sipping a drink.

All thoughts of getting herself a drink go out the window. She moves towards the table instantly, and sits, surprising him.

"Um...who are you?" His brown eyes cataloge her face in a way she has definitely seen Klaus do.

She sticks a hand out, and says, "Davina Claire, a friend of Klaus Mikaelson's. You know, the guy who you stalked?"

He blinks, gapes a little, and looks around shiftily. "I didn't stalk him," he tries.

Davina raises an eyebrow sassily, and says, "mmhmm. Anyway, I wanted to ask if you're actually his cousin?"

"Who told you that?"

"Kol Mikaelson."

"Kol? How is he?"

She scoffs. "He's fine. Answer my question."

He sighs. "Yes, I am. I-I wasn't trying to stalk him, it's just, I live in New Orleans, and the rest of the family lives all over, and I found him. We've all heard stories of him, you know. Uncle Ansel's bastard son."

He starts to go on, but Davina cuts in, "don't call him that."

"Sorry. My dad has always called him that, I've never known him as anything else, really. All of his siblings call him their half-brother."

Davina softens, remembering Kol's long stories of what life was like having a half-sibling. She was an only child, with no family to really speak of except Klaus and his pets. The only difference between Klaus' maternal half-siblings and his paternal ones was the fact that the Mikaelsons got to grow up with him.

"I don't get it, were you only stalking him to figure out what he looked like?"

Cary shakes his head. "My aunt Mary, Ansel's wife, she knew Niklaus' parents. She's told all of us just how terrible they were to him, how he acted like them. I wanted to approach him, but I've always heard that he's mean." Cary looks away, suddenly shy.

And even though Davina just got kicked out of his apartment, and has spent all day trying to find Cary so she could ostensibly betray Klaus - for the second time in a short time - she says, "he isn't mean, he's just damaged." She looks down at the table, and continues, a touch quieter, "I can tell you about him, but I don't think it would be a good idea to meet him right now."

"Why?" He asks, but she can't answer before another person is sitting at the table.

It's a girl, older than both her and Cary. She looks like Klaus in the eyes and dimples and hair. Cary is Klaus' cousin, and she can tell. This woman is his sister, and she knows it, instantly.

"Hi?" She greets.

Cary says, "this is Niklaus' friend. She was just saying she doesn't think we should meet him, but she'll tell us about him."

The woman looks infinitely more interested. "Really? You can tell us about Niklaus?"

"Is that all you caught? She doesn't want us to meet him," Cary snaps.

Davina, irritated by his tone, snaps back, "yeah, because he's dealing with a lot right now! He has one set of half-siblings hunting him down, he doesn't need another set trying to know everything about him at the same time!"

Cary has grown more confident with Klaus' sister at his side. He instantly counters, "we're half his blood, we have the right to get to know him. We didn't get to, if you haven't caught on by now."

She rolls her eyes, but it's his sister that speaks next. "Calm down, Cary, let's just leave it be for the moment." She turns to her, and says, "Jessika Wolff, one of Niklaus' half-sisters. What's your name?"

"Davina Claire, his friend." She makes sure he posture is defiant. Klaus is older than her, and a guy, and most people have a hard time believing they can be real friends. In reality, she's proud to say her crush lasted only a week.

Jessika just smiles at her, while Cary gives her a look she doesn't like. "I don't understand why we can't meet up with him, but we can let it go if you promise we get to meet him someday soon."

Cary glares at Jessika, but Davina feels soothed by her tone immediately. "He just has a lot going on right now. I'll definitely get you guys in touch, though, as soon as I think he can handle everything life is throwing at him. That said, I won't answer everything, I don't know him well enough to tell you certain personal preferences, but, you know, ask away."

Jessika nods, and pulls out her phone. "Okay, that's fine. Is it okay if I write things down, for my other siblings?" She repeats his nod back at him. "Um, I've always wondered what his favorite color is."

"He says it's green, but he uses black so often in his art I feel like he's lying." Jessika starts typing with her thumbs, looking very interested.

Cary leans closer. "Is that why he always had that notepad with him? He was drawing?"

"He does a lot more than drawing. Usually, he paints, but he's been busy lately, so it's been a while."

"What's he been doing that makes him so busy?"

Davina shrugs. "His cats had kittens, and his maternal half-siblings are all over TV, and he's pulling extra shifts at work."

Jessika responds, "we're like that, too. It came from my dad."

Davina leans her elbow on the table, then her chin on her fist. "Really? Will you tell me about your siblings? I know pretty much nothing about the Mikaelsons except what Kol's told me."

"Kol? How's he doing these days? I mean, except being in blockbuster after blockbuster." Her smile is a little sardonic.

Cary cuts in, "she says he's fine."

"Yeah, I mean, I don't know him that well, but he says he's happy to see his siblings."

Jessika and Cary both smile, and she's sees the similarity to Klaus once again. Cary says, "well, that's great!" She wonders, briefly, how they both seem to know him, but he's never said anything about it before. She's definitely going to report back to him about Cary and Jessika, though.

"Yeah, tell him we said hi, will you?" She nods, and Jessika continues, "anyway, my siblings. There's me, Chris, Sabrina, Sebastian, Elizabeth, and Peter. Chris and Sabrina are older than me, um, they're 35 and 33 years old. They both have kids. I'm 30, and I have kids." She waves a hand around her head a little distractedly. "Then there's Sebastian, Elizabeth, and Peter. They're 27, 23, and 22. Peter has a kid, and is going to college at Oxford right now, actually." She smiles at Davina proudly. "I have to say that. I'm so proud of him I can't help it."

Davina feels wistful - her parents don't give a shit where she is, and they never did - and jealous at the same time. Kol says the same thing about his siblings. He's the most successful, money wise - he's even told her some of the Mikaelsons are middle class at best - but he still talks about them like they're his children, like they've made him proud. Klaus, what few times he's talked about his siblings, has always had this same tone. Like he couldn't be prouder.

Jessika goes on, talking about her siblings, what it was like growing up, and how she's always viewed Klaus as this guy she should know but doesn't. Davina listens, and tells them more about Klaus, and can't think of anything but two things: how much she wishes she had a family, and what Kol will think of all this.

6.6

Rebekah understands anxiety more than any of her siblings might think. She is so in control of her emotions - usually, anyway, it's not like her daughter is helping matters here - that it might seem impossible to them that she understand.

But she does, and while Kol's outburst doesn't make her feel like she'll fall into one anytime soon, she does feel on edge. Her whole body feels uncomfortably tense.

Fred is back, Katherine leaving Graham to watch the boys - her nephews, her adorable little nephews - and she leans back into his chest. She does this only when she seeks comfort, and he knows it. He also knows when she can't seem to calm.

She had assumed, when she was on the plane, that it would hard for her to adjust to having these siblings again. She has other ones, adopted ones, but the difference is, they're sane. They aren't damaged like her. They aren't damaged like her real siblings.

She hates to think like that, but she hasn't grown close to her adopted siblings. She also knows for a fact that her siblings and she are, at least in her opinion, ruined. Father has hurt them in ways they cannot be brought back from.

And that's where her thoughts are now. On her siblings - she is so excited to see them again she may pee - and her father - the utter asshole - and her anxiety. It's really taking away from her happiness, and it sucks.

She can't help but think that Kol's anxiety is taking away from her moment. But then she pushes that thought away, watches her nephews play, and hold Fred close, away from her over-protective siblings.

8.24 - May 20th, 2010

Stefan and Bonnie, full from all the ice cream, didn't move when Caroline went to the bathroom.

They did move when she shrieked.

Bonnie got there first, only because Stefan fell out of bed whereas she jumped and landed fine.

"What? What is it?" Bonnie screamed, as they rounded into the bathroom. Caroline sat on the floor, holding something they couldn't see, and sobbing.

Stefan privately wondered if it was a used condom. Maybe she was clutching the last bit of Klaus she had. It wouldn't be the weirdest thing he'd seen her do in the week and a half Klaus had been gone.

It was a lot worse.

It was a pregnancy test, clutched in Caroline's fingers. And, after a closer look while they hugged her close, it was positive.

Again, I just want to say, that ^ won't be dealt with for a while. Next time we'll see Rebekah with the siblings, and maybe Henrik too.

Also, I wasn't planning on it, because I liked them being different from the other Mikaelsons, but I have a good idea for it.
