They stopped about five miles from the house. Cami got out of her car and flagged Hope over.

"Stay here with them. Whatever you do, do not leave. If someone scares you or tries to talk to you put up a barrier spell or have Kova use her shield. Do you understand?"

Hope nodded and climbed into the driver seat. Cami whooshed to the front door of the house. She knocked loudly. The door flung open and Kol looked at her annoyed.

"Ah Camille. Why not bang louder? I do not believe the neighbors in the next town over heard you?"

Cami shoved passed him. She entered the den and all the others looked at her confused. Kol walked up behind her.

"Please do come in."

She rolled her eyes and walked up to Klaus. She thrusted the letter into his hands.

"A woman handed this to Kova during Recess and told her to give it to her Daddy."

Klaus stiffened and opened the letter.

We had a deal. But as you broke it first, I will break my end. Wherever you hide, I will find you.

Esther

Klaus stood and looked her over. "Did she hurt you all?"

She shook her head. "I never even saw her."

He nodded and handed the note to Elijah. He read quickly then spoke.

"We need to get them out of Mystic Falls."

Cami shook her head. "No."

They all looked at her like she was nuts. Elijah spoke calmly.

"Camille you need to be reasonable. If Esther is truly on the warpath the children are at risk and we need to keep them safe."

Cami started to pace. "I thought in the car. I am not uprooting them. You can reinforce the house as much as you want but the kids are staying in school until Christmas Break starts."

Klaus looked like he was going to argue but Freya held a hand up to him. She looked at Cami.

"Do the children know what happened?"

"Only Hope I didn't want to scare the others all though I panicked. I pulled them out of school."

"Where are they?"

"A few miles away. I told Hope to stay with them."

Freya nodded. She looked at the others.

"I think that Cami is right. The children do not need to be uprooted." She looked at Cami. "I will come with you to Mystic Falls and I will place as many boundary spells as I possibly can to protect the kids."

Cami nodded. Klaus paused before deciding.

"I'm coming with you."

Cami looked a little taken aback. "Really?"

He nodded. "If the deal is null and void then it doesn't matter if I am around the children or not. Besides if I am with them I can protect them." He looked at the others. "You all can come and stay and switch out if you wish to help."

They all nodded. Freya spoke. "I'll take the first shift."

Cami led them out to where the kids were waiting in the car. Hope climbed out when she saw her.

"Mom where are we going?"

"Home."

Hope opened her mouth but then shut it when she saw Klaus. He looked equally stunned. She took a step closer.

"Dad?"

He smiled. "My Littlest Wolf."

She ran to him and hugged him tight. He held her close then put her down. He motioned to Freya.

"You remember your aunt..."

"Freya."

She grinned and hugged Freya. Reagan and Kova climbed out of the car. Reagan looked at Klaus stunned. Klaus spoke to him.

"Hello Son."

Reagan smiled a little before hugging him. Klaus then knelt in front of Kova. He smiled at her.

"You are as beautiful as your mother."

Kova smiled walked up to him. She kissed his cheek before looking at Cami.

"Mommy can we go home now?"

Cami rolled her eyes amused. "Of course."

Freya climbed into Hope's passenger seat. Cami tossed Klaus her keys and let him drive back to Mystic Falls.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

It took longer then usual to convince the kids to go to bed. Eventually they all fell asleep. Cami walked into her bedroom and found Klaus staring at the pictures on her wall. He smiled as he looked. She spoke quietly.

"Sorry but love letter above my bed are not how I get a good night of sleep."

He chuckled and turned. "They went with the décor."

She rolled her eyes and slid into bed. He hesitated before flipping out the lights and copying her. In the dark he spoke softly.

"You really named her Kova?"

She laughed quietly. "Nikova Joy."

He groaned. "I did not want that name passed on."

She placed her hand on his face. "It's a piece of you that she will always have."

He found her lips in the dark and kissed her. His hands found their way to her waist and pulled her as close to him as she could. He was kissing down her neck when he felt a strong defined kick. He looked down at her abdomen and smiled.

"Well someone is happy that I am here."

She smiled. "I think they are."

He looked at her stunned. "They?"

She nodded. "Twins."

He kissed up her jaw. "I vote that these are our last two."

She nodded. "Agreed."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Cami and Klaus were woken the next morning by Kova whacking Cami in the head with her stuffed wolf. Cami blinked and sat up.

"Kova what are you doing?"

Klaus opened his eyes and looked. Kova walked to her mother's side of the bed.

"Reagan and I are hungry and Aunt Freya made something but I don't know what it is."

Cami smiled a little. "Where is Hope?"

"In her room."

Cami climbed out of bed and grabbed the little girl. Klaus got himself dressed quickly and followed them. When they entered the kitchen Freya was ladling out something from a large pot into bowls. She smiled and handed a bowl to Reagan.

"Eat up."

Reagan looked at his aunt and then to his parents before looking at the light tan lumpy food in his bowl. He hesitated before dipping his spoon in and taking a bite. Freya smiled at him eager.

"How is it?"

Reagan spoke with his mouth full. "It's...interesting. What is it?"

She grinned and handed Kova a bowl. "Porridge. We use to eat it as children."

Reagan nodded. Kova sat next to him at the counter. Hope came downstairs and smelled.

"Umm what is that?"

Cami jabbed her in the ribs. "Your aunt made porridge."

Hope nodded and took a seat at the kitchen table with the adults. Cami tried a bite of the lumpy porridge. It had very little taste. Almost like bread dough. Klaus ate his without complaint. Cami realized that he must have been use to it. Like going home for Christmas and being forced to eat your mother's rock hard wheat muffins. Kova picked at her bowl but really didn't eat any. Hope forced a few spoonful's down along with Reagan. When they finished Hope looked at Kova and lifted her and spoke.

"Come on Kova let's get you cleaned up."

The kids disappeared up the stairs. Freya grinned.

"They are sweet kids."

Cami nodded. "they have their moments." She glanced at the clock. "School starts in an hour."

They looked at her funny and watched as she whooshed around tidying up the kitchen. Shen then disappeared up the stairs and appeared a few minutes later showered and dressed. Klaus looked at her.

"They have terms for people like you."

She cocked a brow as she started putting together lunches at lightening speed. "Like what?"

He chuckled into his coffee mug. Cami had just packed their lunches when the kids appeared. Kova held a hot pink bow out to her mom.

"Can you put this in please?"

Cami smiled and slid the bow into her daughter's hair. Hope grabbed her brown bagged lunch and grabbed her keys.

"Bye Mom, bye Dad, bye Aunt Freya."

She darted out the door. Cami looked at them.

"Do I need one of you for mobile protection?"

Klaus chuckled. Freya stood.

"I'll come with you."

Cami drove while the kids talked to Freya. Kova spoke to her excited.

"I can do a deflection spell."

Freya grinned. "Wow that took me a century to perfect."

Kova looked very pleased with herself. As Cami pulled up to the school the kids grabbed their bags and headed inside.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Hope was grabbing her books out of her locker when Ethan walked up next to her.

"So I was thinking about renting that new scary werewolf movie for tonight."

She smiled. "That's fine." She then remembered something that could put a dent in their evening plans. "Umm...my dad is home."

He looked a little stunned. "Oh I thought you lived with your step-mom?"

"I do but my dad is home for a little while."

"That's good. Is he staying till your mom gives birth?"

They started walking towards their class. "I don't know. Maybe."

"Well I can't wait to meet him."

She laughed. "My dad is kind of intimidating."

"I think I can handle him."

Hope took her seat giggling.
