The Vampire Diaries

"Yeah, I'll see you soon."

---

"You are not awful, you're amazing and so strong." Klaus whispered, "Everything'll be fine now, but I think you are so amazing, love."

---

Adam listened silently.

Hope hung up then, going to look for Zac.

---

Tatia just shook her head. "Mnot." She whispered, closing her eyes and sighing exhaustedly.

---

"If Adam wants a relationship with you then that's up to him, but I want nothing to do with you anymore Kol."

"Ollie please don't say that -"

"You were happy enough to say it when you didn't believe something I said. Well I don't believe you're sorry."

Henrik headed up the stairs to see Dakota.

---

"You are." Klaus whispered.

---

Adam frowned a little bit as he listened, whispering to his father, "Unless there is anything else for you to say to Ollie, could we go for a walk?"

Dakota was in bed, watching a movie.

---

"Zac, Henrik is coming to stay for a few days, is that okay with you?" Hope asked quietly when she found him in his office.

---

Kol just nodded.

Olivia pulled away from Adam and headed upstairs with her food.

---

Tatia shook her head once more, burying it against his chest before bursting into tears.

"Yeah, that's fine." Zacarias confirmed tiredly with a subtle nod.

---

Adam just watched Olivia go before sighing and taking a step closer to his father to hug him, "Thank you for apologising to her….  Would it be too much to ask for a apology to me too?"

---

Klaus frowned and just rubbed her back gently, smoothing her hair down a few moments later, "Ssshhh, love, sshh."

---

Henrik laid down beside her and wrapped an arm around her waist.

Kol hugged him back. "I thought I was implied when I said I was sorry for everything. I am sorry though Adam."

---

Dakota kissed his cheek.

---

"Need any help with anything Zac?" Hope asked quietly.

---

Tatia trembled in his arms as she tried to stifle her sobs.

"Your lucky I have no chance but to accept the apology." Adam replied with a quiet laugh.

---

Klaus smoothed her hair down gently, "Not many people would go through and do what you have, Tat. You're so brave, such an amazing person, amazing mother."

---

Zacarias shook his head in the negative, "No…. I'm okay."

---

Henrik smiled.

"Henrik offered us some money, I really think accepting it would be the best thing baby... We're both working too hard for hardly anything... Especially you. He doesn't need it back either, he has enough from music royalties."

---

"I'm not a good mother though, part of me regrets doing it, how awful does that make me?!"

---

Kol smiled a little. "Really am sorry Adam, didn't want it to escalate this far."

---

"When're you going? I heard your conversation." Dakota mumbled.

"We don't need charity." Zacarias mumbled.

---

Adam just shrugged as he took a step back, "Mm," he hummed, "Doesn't change the fact Adrian despises me now, though, does it?"

---

"That doesn't make to awful at all, it just shows you have emotions that all. You aren't awful."

---

"That's what I was going to speak to you about, Kota…"

(( be back in 30 mins or so ))

"See you whenever you get back then, I'll sort out something for the kids."Dakota mumbled, rolling over.

---

"It's getting to the point where we do Zac, please."

---

"It means I'm awful. Plain awful."

---

Kol grimaced at that.

((Sorry bout that Vader graduated puppy class today))

Caleb was stood behind Mia smiling gently down at the baby that was in her arms, his eyes slowly started to Tatia and he smiled at her. Walking over her he hugged her lightly whispering "Thank you for what you've done for us."

(( Awh  ))



"I'm not going right at this moment Kota," Henrik sighed, wrapping an arm around her and kissing her cheek gently. "I was going to speak to you, about when I could leave for just a few days without it being too much hassle for you."

---

"I'm accepting charity…"

---

Adam just sighed softly.

---

Mia watched Caleb briefly before looking back to the baby.

Tatia just hugged him back briefly, nodding at what he said.

---

"Just go whenever, I'll cope."

---

"Adam... I don't know how to fix it."

---

"Zac we're barely keeping up with things."

"Would you like to hold her in a few minutes?" He asked softly glancing over at Mia.

((Ideas for a name Beth?))

(( I'll search for some names later. I need to go visit my nan ))

Mia just let out a small sigh.

---

"We're fine." Zacarias replied, having told himself that so much recently he was actually starting to believe it, "I'll just cover more shifts for people, we'll be fine."

---

"I'm not going until things are organised with the kids, and your happy…. I'm sorry things are so mad Kota, I really am.  We'll find us time somewhere. We have tonight and tomorrow."

---

"Tell Adrian I'm not attention seeking, admit to him that it is yours and mums fault…"

Tatia cringed a little and shook her head at hearing Mia's sigh. "No, no. Me and Nik should probably go now anyway." She mumbled.

---

"You can't cover anymore shifts Zac, there's no time to!"

---

"We don't have tomorrow, the kids will be back first thing. It's fine Rik, whatever, just make plans to go." Dakota shrugged him off.

---

"He won't speak to us."

((Kay))

Caleb frowned slightly but nodded his head. "Um alright..." He whispered in confusion walking over and sitting himself down beside Mia and his new baby daughter.

Henrik just sighed and pressed his lips to her cheek. "We'll find the time…. Don't push me away."

---

"There is plenty of time to cover more shifts. Plenty of time." Zarcarias replied, hissing, "We aren't accepting charity, Hope."

---

"Thanks mum ," Mia whispered, lifting her gaze up to look at her.

---

"He doesn't have to speak, just needs to listen."

"We're going to end up losing the house Zac!"

---

"That's what we always say Rik."

---

Tatia just gave a short nod at what Mia said. "As long as you're happy, s'all I wanted." She whispered, untangling herself from Klaus so she could get out of the bed, putting her shoes and coat on before walking out.

---

"He doesn't do that either."

Caleb glanced at Mia and then Tatia watching her leave.

"This time is different though, because next week it will be the day we met. So we'll definitely make sure we get some us time. Can we just enjoy tonight, Kota, please?"

---

"No we're not!"

---

""Try. Please just try,"

---

Klaus got to his feet and walked to Mia, telling her sharply, "You need to be a little more appreciative then you are being, Mia, stop being so paranoid." before following Tatia out.

Mia just sighed .

Hope walked to his desk and ripped the drawer open, breaking the lock. Picking it up off the floor she emptied all the final demand envelopes and warnings. "Open your eyes Zac! Please! I can't cope much longer! I love you so much but it's not working! Us deluding ourselves into thinking we can sort all this out! We've put so much on hold because of all of this, or I have anyway! Were just falling deeper and deeper and we cant crawl back out, we've gone too far Zac!" She finally snapped. "Please Zac..."

---

Tatia just walked slowly to the car as she was still in a little bit of pain, leaning heavily against it as she waited.

---

"We don't have any 'tonight left' we have to be up for when the kids want to come home and if we want a decent nights sleep that means sleeping now. Forget it Rik, not like us meeting is important anyway, just another date that we can't do anything about."

---

"You don't think I have Adam?"

Caleb frowned deeply wrapping an arm around Mia.

"Of course it's important.." Henrik whispered with a deep sigh, "Come on, Kota.. please don't act like this. We've gone longer than this, when I was always touring, remember? We saw each other a lot less then and it was always fine.."

---

"Well I don't what I can trust about you anymore, dad," Adam replied with a shake of his head, "You've ruined me and Adrian, absolutely ruined and you need to fix it."

---

Klaus unlocked the car when he got there, walking around and opening the door for her. Helping her inside.

---

"Maybe you should leave then, if you can't cope!" Zacarias hissed, "It's safer for you gone anyway! I'm not accepting charity when we can earn enough to keep us going as long as we keep working our asses off!"

---

Mia just sighed and leant into Caleb. "I think we should call her Evelyn.. It means 'wished for child'. Seems appropriate."
