Epilogue

"No! No...come here Sheila...come to daddy..." Kol said as he watched his daughter run, chasing her cousin John who was running in between the chairs in the living room. Sheila stopped and turned around, she looked him over and it felt like his head was splitting open. Once he regained himself, she was already gone and her twin brother Sean snickered and jumped onto his back.

"Piggy back ride daddy!" Kol obliged and straightened up. Walking towards his siblings, he saw a nervous looking Klaus holding little Oriana who was sucking her thumb and Elijah was frantic as he was making plans with Stefan over building a very tall tower to keep their daughter's in and any potential suitors out.

"Kol..." Klaus snarled as he saw his favorite painting on the ground and nearly ripped up. "Your children are little skelfingum!"

Kol sighed and Elijah scooped up John as he tried passing him.

"As if we had any chance of having children with no magic ability!" Kol sighed. About that time Oriana decided her thumb wasn't interesting enough and she bit down on Klaus' hand before giggling with delight.

"Aww...is your daddy making you laugh?" Caroline cooed as she entered the room and scooped up her daughter.

"Sheila..." Bonnie's sweet voice called out as she entered the room drinking a blood bag. Sheila came and immediately raised her arms for Bonnie to scoop her up.

"Daddy," Sheila commanded and Bonnie dropped a kiss on Kol's lips before she handed their daughter to him. This time she snuggled against him before giving Uncle Klaus a headache. Elena appeared at the doorway a moment later very largely pregnant.

"Elijah I don't think these babies are going to wait for your attention any longer," she said and this caused everyone in the room to go into a flurry of activity.

So it was that Elena gave birth to twin daughters with the best attributes of both their parents. The Mikaelson family had grown into a family full of love and laughter. Jeremy had eventually made his home in New Orleans as well to be close to his sister, nieces and nephew. In time even Damon had made his peace with the status quo and though he would from time to time look at Elena's happy life with longing he never tried to cross the Mikaelsons again.

This was how the Mikaelson clan came to be one big, happy, sometimes crazy family.

Always and Forever
