The Vampire Diaries

Kol leaned forward and pressed his forehead to hers.

--

Tatia shuffled against him every now and then as she dreamed uncomfortably.

--

Finn just sighed and rested his head on hers.

Astrid pressed her forehead to his and just studied his face and eyes contently, brushing her fingertips through his hair affectionately.

----
"You do your best, Malvolio loves you - he wouldn't come if he didn't." Sage soothed softly, before suggesting, "Maybe you should bring him out for a drink one day, spend some quality time with him? It could help a few things between you two."

----
Klaus glanced down at her whenever she moved and would rest his hand on hers gently.

((Night!))

"He just wants to argue about Violet."

--

Tatia woke after a few minutes, relaxing when she realised she was in Klaus' arms.

--

Kol brushed a few strands of her hair behind her ear.

"Or maybe he just feels like he's being emotionally torn. Think about it, he loves you to bits but Violet acts as if she doesn't, he clearly loves that Trinity girl enough to want to keep her around but then there is his sister who he was so used to being around all the time, loves to pieces and she's well being her. Maybe all of that was a way of asking for your help. I reckon spending some quality time with him might be good for the both of you. Though, of course the choice is yours." She whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips.

----
Astrid smiled a little bit at that, whispering a quiet, "I love you, my goregous husband."

----
"How're you feeling?" Klaus asked her gently after a few minutes.

"Sick, worse because I'm not recovering quick enough." Tatia got out.

--

"If I can't tell what my kids are trying to tell me then I really am a useless father aren't I?" Finn frowned with a humourless laugh.

--

"My stunning wife." Kol hummed in return.

Trinity: followed him out silently quickening her step to take his hand into hers I think we'll head to the Grill you seem like you need it

"No," Sage sighed with a shake of her head, "If you were that bad your kids wouldn't love you like they do." she whispered, cupping his face in her hands and brushing her thumb against his cheek soothingly.

----
Klaus just frowned and sighed softly, "Just rest… it'll pass."

-----
"Shall we book this little holiday to Ireland then?"

-----
"Okay," Malvolio whispered with a nod, linking his fingers with hers and squeezing her hand.

Trinity: gave his hand a light squeeze walking at his side

Malvolio let go of her hand to wrap around her waist, pulling her closer as they walked.

Trinity: smiled at him, moving her own arm around his waist and leaning against him a little

"Sorry you had to see all that..."

Trinity: No need to apologise it happens. Are you alright, though?

"Just can't believe he's given up on her…" Malvolio whispered quietly, "That he isn't even trying to think of a way none of us have to lose anyone."

Trinity: sighed softly stopping where she was and pulling him into a hug I wish there was something I could do to help with her but she hates me as it is Mal...

Malvolio hugged her back tightly, whispering quietly, "I know,"

Trinity: held him close rubbing his back It'll be okay, you'll figure something out.

"I won't though,"

Finn just wrapped his arms around her.

--

"I know, I'm trying..." Tatia whispered.

--

"When're you wanting to go?"

"Soon? You decide." Astrid replied with a quiet laugh.

---
"I know." Klaus whispered.

----
"You're a brilliant father, Finn. Malvolio and Violet need to realise how lucky they are to have you, how much you try." She comforted.

Trinity: sighed softly pressing a kiss to his cheek I really don't know babe, I just don't know...

Malvolio just sighed softly before heading towards the Grill.

"It'll be worth it in the end." Tatia mused quietly, lacing her fingers with his and moving them to rest against her stomach. This was mostly for the warmth, as there wouldn't be any changes for a good few weeks in that area.

--

Finn just remained silent, disbelieving.

--

"We can go tomorrow or in a week, s'up to you if you want to spend more time with your mom, thank her before we go."

Trinity: fell silent not knowing what more to say or how to help him feel better

"What about in three days time then?" Astrid suggested, "That's a nice in between."

----
Klaus nodded in agreement, not saying a word vocally.

----
"If you were that bad I wouldn't of wanted us to have Cameron, if you didn't always try your you wouldn't get Malvolio visiting you." She assured, "Violet has issues because she has loyalties to the man whom her mother was with, and Malvolio has issues because he has conflicting loyalties to Violet and you. Malvolio loves you, I can easily see that - if you were as bad as you think you are then he wouldn't."

----
Malvolio headed into the Grill and got himself a drink.

Trinity: was right behind him getting herself something to drink as well
