Jasper made it back to the boarding house, disoriented from what just happened. Alice killed Peter and nearly killed Rose. If it wasn't for him getting there in time, Rosalie would have suffered the same fate as Peter. Emmett was knocked out was going to be next. Somehow, Alice and Edward managed to trap the three of them and tear Peter apart before any of them could realize. Alice was a dangerous opponent, her ability to see the future and all of your moves, made her difficult to deal with.
He smelled the burning flesh of a cold one and relief flooded him. That meant that Edward was handled and that Stefan made it back to the boarding house in time. He walked inside, going into the parlor to see Bella in the floor holding Elena's body. He rushed to her side, going to the ground beside Bella and Elena. "What happened?"
"Edward." Bella said. Her tears were gone, she had cried all she could. It had been an hour now since Stefan took off and Edward was killed. "Um. Stefan killed him, but… Edward snapped Elena's neck and…"
"Oh no." Jasper ran a hand through his hair. "I don't think I can bring her back. I can use the stone to get the magic but-"
"I fed her my blood before she died. I… I-I-I caught a glimpse of the future and saw that Elena was dead… so I panicked and gave her my blood. Before Edward killed her… so… she'll wake back up… right?"
Jasper blew out a breath. "Yes, if she died with your blood in her system. She should come back. Have you called Klaus and the others?"
Bella shook her head. "NO."
"Where's Stefan?"
"He… he flipped his switch." Bella said and another tear ran down her face. "He didn't give me time to explain. Everything happened so fast. He just saw Elena dead and he flipped it. I should have tried to stop him."
Jasper pulled his phone out of his pocket and called Klaus. "You need to come back to Mystic Falls now. Edward and Alice were here."
"What the fuck? How?"
"I don't know how they slipped all of y'all, but something bad has happened."
"Bella is-"
"She's okay. The imprint bound would have told you if she was hurt."
Klaus knew that but he still panicked. "We're on our way." He said and hung up.
Jasper looked at Bella. "They're on their way." He said and then he moved, gathering Elena in his arms and laid her gently on the couch. He helped Bella to her feet, his hands smoothing her hair back as he looked at her seriously. "Bella, none of this is your fault. I know you're anxious and you're upset. But please. Think about the baby you are carrying right now. We will recover."
"Is Rose okay?" Bella sniffed, changing the subject.
Jasper grimaced a little, his hands dropping to his sides. "I saved her and Em… but I couldn't get to Pete in time. They're at the manor recovering. I didn't know what I would be coming back to, here at the boarding house. I had hope that Stefan made it in time to help you with Edward."
Bella felt sad. Peter was a great guy. She really liked him and she knew that Jasper had to be hurting. "I'm sorry about your brother Jazz." She murmured.
Jasper was sorry too. He felt the pain of that loss, but right now he was going to focus on Elena. Making sure that she came back.
Klaus and the others made it back to the boarding house. Klaus was the first one to Bella. She was standing by the fireplace, staring into the hot coals that had burned Edward to dust. Her arms automatically went around Klaus as he hugged her tight. "You're okay."
"I'm okay… but Elena isn't." Bella murmured and pulled back.
Klaus noticed Elena on the couch, dead. He saw the stunned expression on Damon's face. "Damon… I-"
"Where's Stefan?" Damon asked, his blue eyes cutting over to Bella.
"Dad… Uncle Stefan flipped his switch." Bella said, her arms hugging around herself as she felt her anxiety rise a little.
Renee put a hand over her mouth, fighting back her own emotion. She placed a hand on Damon's shoulder but Damon just stood there, in shock.
Elijah went to Bella next, his hands moving over her arms, examining her. "He didn't hurt you?"
"He tried, but Elena. She… she put herself in front of me." Bella said, her icy eyes tearing up.
Kol frowned. "You're an original vampire. He couldn't kill you even if he tried."
Bella bit her lip, moving away from Elijah. She looked around the room and then blew out a breath. "Um. I'm pregnant."
Klaus felt the entire world stop in that moment. His heart did a small leap in his chest. He wasn't sure he heard her correctly. Everyone else was stunned into silence. "You're… you're pregnant?" Klaus asked, emotion clear in his voice.
Bella teared up and nodded, biting her lip. "She died because she didn't want Edward to hurt the baby." She sobbed a little.
Hearing Bella's sob broke Klaus. He pulled her into his arms and held her while she cried. Tears were in his eyes as well as he held her. So many emotions were going through him right now, but the main one was that he was worried. Worried about Bella.
Damon finally recovered. So many things were happening. Elena was dead, Stefan had no humanity and his daughter was pregnant. "Bella." Damon said, his voice choking up. Tears started streaming down his face suddenly and then he was sobbing.
Damon's sobs made Bella break away from Klaus and walk towards her dad. "Daddy…"she said, her voice small.
Damon reached for her and she went to him, his arms coming around her like a blanketed shelter. "Oh baby girl… don't cry. Um." He tried to clear the emotion from his voice. "Are you okay?" He asked, kissing the top of her head and leaning back to look at her. Renee rubbed a hand down Bella's back in a comforting way.
Bella nodded. "I'm okay. I'm in shock. Elena… she told me that I didn't need to stress. I decided to see Doctor Fell at the end of the week. But I wanted to tell everyone in person."
Elijah cleared his throat. "Any symptoms my love?"
"Just nausea. Jasper and Stefan witnessed it earlier. Before… everything." Bella wiped her face and turned away from her parents. Kol was still silent. As was Jasper. Neither added anything during this moment and that worried her.
Jasper walked over and poured bourbon into some glasses. "Darlin' you quit your worryin'. I'm okay. Everyone's emotions are all over the place, but no one is mad or angry." He reassured.
Klaus nodded his thanks to Jasper and took the bourbon having a drink. "Bella, I'm happy… if you're happy. Nothing matters more to me in this world, than your happiness. A baby…"
Stefan appeared then, standing in the doorway. "A baby. Hmm. Wonder who the daddy is." He said and then walked over to the liquor cabinet and poured himself a bourbon.
Bella had thought about that. Who would be the father. "Uncle Stefan I-"
"No no. That was distasteful right?" Stefan said a cool smile on his face. "I mean, you're banging three dudes, so there are three possibilities. But… only one of them is a hybrid. So." He shrugged and took a drink of the bourbon.
"Stefan that's uncalled for." Damon said angrily to his brother.
"Meh, it's truth. You're all in here boohooing over what again? Oh right sparkly vampires." Stefan said with a nod.
Kol felt his anger spike. He was the more unpredictable one out of the brothers sometimes. "I will make you sparkle if you don't hold your tongue." He said, his anger bleeding through.
"Ooo. I'm scared." Stefan rolled his eyes.
It happened fast, Kol pinning Stefan against the wall, the glass of bourbon falling to the ground and shattering. Kol growled, the dark veins rippling under his skin, his fangs popped out. "You should be very scared. I will end you right now."
"Kol!" Bella yelled, tears in her eyes. "He has no humanity. He doesn't understand what he's saying."
"On the contrary niece. Having no humanity makes you think clearly and understand perfectly." Stefan wasn't even sweating. "Kill me, don't kill me. It wouldn't matter now would it? Other than pissing off your girlfriend. She is your girlfriend right?"
"ENOUGH!" Klaus roared, his tone menacing. "Kol let him go now."
Kol growled, but he released Stefan, but not before shoving him back into the wall, breaking the wall under Stefan's weight. He ran a hand through his hair to steady his anger.
Bella had never seen Kol react that way ever. She was in shock to even see him like this. She didn't know what to say or do now. "Uncle Stefan…"
"Best of luck Bella. I truly, mean that." Stefan said his voice holding an air of sarcasm. "I only came for a bag and my motorcycle. I'll see you losers… never." He said and flashed upstairs to get his bag before going to the garage and getting his motorcycle.
Bella felt more tears push to the surface and Klaus ran his hand down her back. "He's right. I'm a terrible person."
"You are not a terrible person." Damon said. "Get that out of your head right now. You are a wonderful person. Don't let Stefan's words defeat you. He's an idiot. It is no one's business how you live your life. You have three men that adore and love you." He said and shook his head. "It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. You are strong."
Bella never heard her dad talk about Klaus, Elijah and Kol like that. It was an air of approval and it was shocking to Elijah, Kol and Klaus, because Elijah and Kol certainly had stunned expressions. "Daddy." She hugged him and Damon hugged her back, kissing the top of her head.
Renee smiled. "Listen to your dad. He's right. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. You have an imprint, a vampire mate and a soulmate. Most people never find even one mate. You struck gold." She said, her voice tender.
Bella was thankful that her parents were so understanding, but it still didn't make her heart hurt any less about Elena. Stefan had flipped his switch and she didn't know if he'd ever come back to them.
Caroline showed up then, flashing into the room and seeing Elena on the couch. She gasped, her hands going to her mouth. "Oh my god."
Bella pulled away from Damon and looked at Caroline. "Care…" she said and flashed to her and the girls were hugging.
"What happened?" Caroline asked as she wiped her face.
"Edward killed her." Bella sniffed. "I gave her my blood before she died though. And… she should come back." She squeaked at the end.
Caroline nodded and then she just hugged Bella again and closed her eyes. Everything felt like a disaster. Renee had text her and told her what happened, that she needed to get to the boarding house. She just didn't believe it. Seeing Elena lying there dead.
"Where's Bonnie?" Bella sniffed and looked around.
"Oh." Kol said and ran his hands over his face. "We left her in Mckinney Klaus. We rushed here."
"No no, I told her what was happening." Renee said. "She's driving back." She calmed everyone.
Kol blew out a breath. "Thank God." He had been genuinely worried about Bonnie.
Bella wiped at her face a little. "Um. I want to have a moment alone with… Klaus, Kol and Elijah. In my room." She said and then she flashed upstairs and waited.
Klaus and his brothers didn't take long, they followed her up to her room. Bella closed the door behind them and lit the mute candle.
"I wanted to just… get everyone's feelings and thoughts." Bella said, blowing out a breath.
Elijah smiled. "I'm truly happy Bella. Your pregnancy is wonderful. I am honored to be apart of it."
"Same." Kol said with a smile. "I love you." He finally said it out loud. "A baby is precious as is all life that is born on this Earth. I will protect the baby."
Klaus admired his brothers. They would give anything and everything to Bella. "You already know my answer my love." He said with a smile.
"What if… we don't know who the father is?" Bella pointed out.
"It's Klaus." Elijah and Kol said at the same time.
Klaus smiled a little, looking at his brothers and then back at Bella. "It truly doesn't matter. We're all prepared to be fathers." He spoke for his brothers and neither Elijah or Kol contradicted that statement.
Bella felt at ease. Now that she knew what everyone felt. She felt better about being pregnant. She ran a hand over her belly. "I'm excited." She admitted.
"As you should be." Elijah said, sticking a hand in his pocket. "This is an exciting moment and we will celebrate it."
Bella did want to celebrate it. She wanted to celebrate being pregnant and having a baby. "Elena." She thought as she felt sad again.
"She will come back. Give it time. When she wakes up, she can transition and everything will be okay." Klaus said.
"But Uncle Stefan."
"Made his choice." Kol said. "Flipping your switch is a coward thing to do. I have never in ten centuries flipped my switch and I never planned on it."
"Neither have I." Elijah said.
"And Neither have I." Klaus said. "Stefan didn't want to feel the pain of losing Elena. He'll realize how much he lost when he finally flips his switch back." He said.
"Do you think he ever will?"Bella asked.
Klaus nodded. "He will, because I've met him before with his switch off. He flipped his switch back on before, he can do it again. He will heal from what has happened with Elena. Just be patient."
Bella didn't want to be patient. She wanted to fix Stefan now, but she understood that things were more complicated than that. She would have to be patient. Wait for Elena to wake up and wait for Stefan to come back to his senses.
