46; To Family

LILLY

The first thing I noticed when I woke up was that the five Mikaelson's were sat in the room looking at me, worried. The second being that the bedroom door had now been replaced.

"We need to stop breaking those doors" I mumbled as I sat up, before I remembered something. "How did you even get in here? I spelled the door" I asked looking at the five of them.

Nik pulled me over to him, resting my head on his chest. "The spell went down when you passed out. What happened?" He asked me, being protective as always.

I know he was worried, I could see it in his eyes and his posture. He was tense.

"I saw her" I whispered looking into his blue eyes. "Saw who love?" He asked rubbing his thumb across my cheek. "Phoebe"

"Who's Phoebe?" Finn asked, and all the siblings looked at him shocked. I guess it's the fact that he spoke. From what I've heard about him, he doesn't really talk, instead keeping himself to himself. Even when he was human, he was always hanging off of their mothers dress.

Well thats what I was told.

But, I was shocked that nobody explained to him already. Nik, Bekah, Kol and Elijah already knew about her.

"My daughter, from when I was human... She was born September 27th 1858. I was un-married and Seventeen, so my family took her away from me. They hated me for the shame I brought on the family" I snorted shaking my head.

"Ironic, when all I ever heard from them since I was a child, was that I brought nothing but shame onto the family" I flicked my eyes over to Finn, who looked interested, to hear my story.

"My family was part of the founding families so we all had a reputation to uphold, but being a witch made them hate me. Call me the abomination of the family" I stared of at nothing in particular remembering every hurtful thing my parents could ever call me.

"The night I gave birth to Phoebe, it was just me and my mother. She helped me through it, telling me everything was going to be okay" I mumbled as I curled up against Nik, finding comfort as I reminisced the past.

"When I heard the sound of her cries, for the first time in my life, I smiled. A true smile... She made me feel like I was here for a reason and not to get beat on by my family. I got to hold her for a couple of seconds before Damon, Stefan and our father stormed in... Damon and Stefan stood by and watched along with our mother as father ripped her from my arms..." I trailed off.

"So you never saw her again?" Finn asked. "She was sent to live with a married couple who couldn't have their own children. Mr and Mrs Lapson. I gave my mother a necklace to give her and I named her Phoebe Anne Lockwood. But no, I never saw her again"

I stared at the wall remembering the day I gave birth to my beautiful daughter. It was the worst and best day of my life. I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, but she was taken away from me before I could watch her grow into the beautiful young woman she is now.

"So she carried the werewolf gene? How is she still alive? I thought werewolves needed the doppelgängers blood to complete the transition?" Bekah asked confused.

"She has my blood aswel, so she's a Salvatore witch. We're strong. So I'm guessing she figured something out... but she's not a hybrid" I chuckled.

"What?" Elijah asked confused, I flicked my eyes over the Mikaelson's and everyone looked confused, well everyone apart from Nik, he had a smirk on his face, as he sat on the bed next to me.

He figured it out.

"She's a tribrid" Nik stated in awe, and I couldn't fault him. My daughter was truly amazing. I nodded to let the others know he was right.

Emily Bennett did everything that went against nature to find me a way to keep my magic. And my guess is that she used the comet to help her. But my daughter managed to do it on her own.

"What happened when you passed out?" Nik asked, making me look back at him. "Witches can feel when another is trying to locate them, so when I was trying to locate her, she blocked it, then pulled me into a dream" I explained, still in awe of my daughter.

My daughter, who is alive and well. My daughter who I got to hold for a short amount of time. My daughter that I never stopped thinking about.

I never wanted this life for her, it's one of the reason why I stayed away from her. I didn't want to drag her into the whole supernatural world, forgetting about her being a witch.

The other is that I thought she would hate me for not fighting for her, for been a coward, for not going for her when I became a vampire.

I wanted her to have a normal life, not become a vampire. Well a tribrid in her case. I just hope she believes me when I tell her that I never stopped thinking about her.

"How did she become a vampire? Who turned her?" Kol asked, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"I don't know. I didn't really ask, I was in shock that my daughter was standing in front of me... but she looked about Seventeen, Eighteen, so it would have been around 1875, 1876, when she was turned... I'm guessing" I mumbled still remembering what my daughter looked like.

"Great, so we have Nik, who's a vampire and werewolf. You, who's a vampire and witch then there's your daughter who's all three... we're all doomed" Kol laughed, trying to lighten the mood.

"Are you going to go see her?" Bekah asked, and I knew she thought I was gonna leave her to go see my daughter.

"She's coming to Mystic Falls" I mumbled, not knowing how Nik would react. "I'll be there" Nik stated, giving me a look that told me I wasn't to fight him about it.

I wouldn't. I wanted him there with me, I was scared enough already. I was meeting my daughter properly for the first time.

I looked out of the window noticing it was light outside, which confused me because it was starting to get late when I tried to locate Phoebe.

"How long was I out?" I asked confused. "All night. It's one in the afternoon" Elijah told me, giving me a small smile.

I nodded not knowing what to say.

"Let's go to the grill" Bekah suggested, and I chuckled shaking my head.

"Any reason why you want to go to the Grill, Bekah? Maybe a certain blonde hair, blue eyed, boy called Matt?" I teased, smirking at her.

"I don't know what you're talking about Lilly. Now get in the shower, so we can go" Bekah told me, looking anywhere apart from me or her brothers.

"Come on Bekah, I'm not blind. And I'm definitely not stupid. You like him" I chuckled before jumping off of the bed.

"Bekah and Matt sitting in a tree-" I started singing but Bekah cut me off. "Lilly Marie Mikaelson" She growled making me chuckle, along with her brother, before I carried on as I walked backwards towards the en 'suite "K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love-" Bekah growled standing up. "Then comes marriage. Then comes a baby in a baby carriage" I sang, before rushing into the en 'suit, the others laughing.

I slammed the door behind me, quickly locking it. "Hurry up Lilly, or I'll come in there and drag you out myself and you can go with whatever your wearing" Bekah snapped through the door, as I turned the shower on, getting undressed.

I snorted. "I'm sure Nik wouldn't be too pleased with that Bekah, you know since I'd be naked... and wet" I called through the door, hearing Nik growl.

I smirked, I knew I was gonna get this reaction out of him. "Get out" He snapped to his siblings before he stood outside the bathroom door. "Open the door, love"

I chuckled. "I'm in the shower Nik, can't it wait" I called pretending I didn't know what that one little comment did to him, as I stood under the shower, letting the water pour over me.

Instead of saying anything, he decided to break down the door, making me snap my head over to look at him.

Just by looking at him had me all hot and bothered, but I didn't have long to enjoy the view since I was slammed against the wall with a hot, naked original hybrid in front of me. Before I could do anything his lips was pressed against mine, making me moan.

He grabbed my bum, before hoisting me up against the wall. My legs automatically wrapped around him, pulling him closer to me.

Once I felt him against me, I moaned again out of pleasure...

After a very stimulating shower, I wrapped a towel around myself before I walked back into the bedroom, Nik behind me.

I picked out a pair of my light wash skinny jeans, with a plain black vest top. Dressing it out with a grey leather jacket and grey high heels. I decided to have my hair straight, adding a bit of makeup.

Once I was ready I grabbed my phone before making my way downstairs where everyone was waiting for me.

"Thank god" Bekah groaned before walking over to me, and pulling me outside, by my hand.

I pulled my hand making Bekah let go of me. "I'm not running there. No chance in hell. Have you seen my shoes" I complained, lifting my shoes up towards the boys, seen as though I knew Bekah would understand my predicament.

"Fine, let's drive" Nik mumbled, making me smile. Thank god. I don't want to ruin my shoes.

I jumped into the passenger seat, Nik in the driver's seat and the others in the back, apart from Kol, who decided to run there, so he could get us our drinks.

The whole drive there I had to listen to Bekah complain about not getting there fast enough, and Nik telling her shut up.

I sighed as we pulled up outside the grill. "I'd rather be back in the car with a broody Stefan, then re-live this car ride" I mumbled earning myself a glare from, Bekah. A wink from, Nik and a shake of the head and a small smile from both Finn and Elijah.

As we all walked into the grill, I looked around, noticing a group of people staring, and when I say a group I mean Elena and her posse, glaring at us.

I rolled my eyes before I looked over to the bar where Kol sat smirking and wiggling his fingers over to us.

Nik weaved his finger with mine before we walked over to him, the other behind us.

As soon as we sat down there was a shot of bourbon placed in front of us. We all clinked them together before downing them all.

I couldn't help but watch Finn to see how he would react and I'm glad I did. His face was funny as hell. I burst out laughing. "You'll get used to it, Finn"

Before he could say anything, Damon joined us, grabbing onto my wrist, going to pull me with him. "We need to talk" Damon gritted out.

I looked down at his hand. "And you need to let go of me. Right. Now" I warned him, and like an idiot he didn't listen.

"Do what the lady told you, mate. Now!" Nik growled standing up taking a step towards Damon, so he was slightly in front of me.

Damon glared at Nik, but let go of me. "We have nothing to talk about, Damon. I've said all that I needed to say. Now run along back to the dopplebitch, but remember Damon. It won't end well for you. She'll never choose you. It will always be Stefan" I smirked once I noticed I hit a nerve.

I could tell he wasn't going anywhere so I decided to give him some motivation, and since he was close enough so the humans couldn't see, I shoved my hand through his chest, gripping onto his heart, just as Bonnie joined us.

"Phesmatos morsinus illum" Bonnie chanted, making me flick my eyes over to her and smirked, noticing the shock that covered her face.

"Sorry darling, but that isn't going to work" I chuckled. "She's got her magic back Bonnie" Damon gasped out. "Look like St Stefan spilled the beans. Oh well" I shrugged before I pulled my hand out of Damon's chest.

I wiped the blood onto his black t-shirt, pushing him away. "Leave" Nik warned him, as he glared Damon down.

Thankfully him and Bonnie left, I couldn't deal with anymore drama today. I just wanted to enjoy myself, with my family.

"Here. You need it" Bekah told me, giving me a small smile as she placed another shot in front of me. "A toast. To family" Elijah held his glass up, so we could all tap our glasses against his. "To family"

Once we downed our shots, I slammed it back onto the bar, just as Nik leant over with his lips next to my ear. "Are you okay?" He asked, sounding worried.

I flicked my eyes over to him, giving him a true smile. "I'm perfect" He smiled wide at me, knowing it was the truth.

I mean how can I not be? Okay, me, Damon and Stefan will never be a family, but I have Nik and his family. I've found out my daughters alive and well, and I have my magic back. I feel like everything's finally falling into place for me.

After everything I've gone through, I feel like I'm finally getting the happy ever after.

"So, Lilly. What have you been doing all these years?" Elijah asked bringing me out of my thoughts, noticing they were all looking at me.

"Well Mikael took me to god knows where and tortured me for a year or more then let me desiccate for Seventy years. In 1990 I was free again, not remembering anything really. I stayed on my own for a couple of years. Partying, feeding and drinking, living in New York. So basically traveling and ruining Damon and Stefan's lives" I summed up my life.

"Well, we all know what you mean by feeding" Kol smirked at me. "Yes. I heard about you compelling her" Nik glared at his brother.

"You told him" Kol glared at me, but I could see his lips twitch. I shrugged. "He'd have found out one day"

Nik winked at me before smirking at Kol. "She also told me how you tried to compel her to run around naked"

Kol's jaw dropped. "Erm..." Kol trailed off has he scratched the back of his neck. "She also told me how she punched you before kicking you in the balls" Nik's smirk grew.

"Alright, enough teasing" Bekah spoke up, but I could see she was enjoying the banter, in fact by the looks of it all of us were.

"Are we staying in this pony town?" I asked, because in all honesty once Phoebe came I wanted to leave. This town held nothing but bad memories.

"We have to, I'm in school" Bekah argued. "Bekah, darling. You're a thousand year old original vampire" Kol reminded her.

"I want to go to school" She whined looking at Elijah and Finn, knowing they'd both agree. "If our sister wants to stay for school, we shall stay" Elijah agreed.

I sighed. I really wanted to leave. Everywhere I looked reminded me how my life used to be.

"We'll go traveling for a while love" Nik whispered in my ear making me smile.

Just me and Nik travelling, sounds really good right now. Just me and him. No interruptions, no drama.

I nodded before I grabbed the bottle of bourbon, pouring us all another drink. I wanted to enjoy myself.

As I placed the bottle back down, I heard someone walk into the grill, and being nosey I turned around to see who it was, making my breath hitch.

"What's wrong love?" Nik asked confused and I could feel the others eyes on me, but I wasn't looking at them. "She's here" I mumbled, not taking my eyes off of my daughter.
