The Vampire Diaries

"Ok." She looked at Emily as she now slept on the sofa, her pillow under her head and her blanket over her, and Charlotte brushed a hand through her hair longingly. "She looks so much like her mother."

((gotta go))

Jeremy nodded in agreement.

Tatia kissed his cheek, before pullin away and varying on cooking with a grin.

--

"She thinks youre all grown up now, she doesn't think she has to make the effort."

Astrid just shook her head, "Then I don't have to make the effort either." she grumbled quietly.

----
Klaus watched quietly.

Kol sighed.

--

Tatia hummed quietly as she cooked.

Astrid sighed too before getting to her feet and ordering herself some food.

Kol watched her quietly.

Astrid came back a moment later and sat down again, giving him a glass of alcohol.

Kol mumbled a thanks and drank quietly.

--

After a few minutes, Tatia plated up food and set it down on the table, calling for the kids.

--

Vanessa woke up after a few hours, stretching in bed lightly

Astrid took a sip of her own drink as she waited for her food.

---
Nate turned his head to move his gaze away from the ceiling and onto hers. Giving her a small smile and greeting her with a kiss to the forehead.

"You stayed." Vanessa whispered, rolling onto her stomach and resting her head on his chest, kissing the skin lightly. "I dreamed I woke up and you left."

--

Kol wrapped an arm around her and hugged her tightly.

"What was that for?" She asked, hugging him back, rubbing his back a little bit as she did so.

----
Nate shook his head and ran his fingers up and down her shoulder gently, "Of course I stayed, angel,"

Vanessa kissed him his chest and rested her head in the crook of his neck. "I missed this, thought we'd never be like this again."

--

"Because you needed one."

Nate just gave a nod and continued to run his fingers up and down her arm contently, just listening to her.

----
Astrid laughed quietly then, whispering, "Thank you, sweetie,"

"You better not have been practising with someone else." she frowned.

--

"You're welcome Asa."

"I haven't, don't worry."

----
She pressed a gentle kiss to his lips then.

Vanessa smiled a little at that, moving to straddle him and press herself against him as she kissed him softly.

--

Kol kissed her back.

Alec: curled up on himself clearly upset about it all having in a sense wanted to stop shifting but in a way he was sorta glad for the shift as it was who he is

Nate kissed her back gently.

----
Astrid deepened the kiss a little bit.

----
"I'm sorry, my wolf boy," Fleur whispered, moving herself to sit on the edge of the sofa as she rubbed his shoulder - massaging it. "I'm so, so sorry."

Alec: let out a deep sigh moving to rest his head on her lap

Vanessa moved her hands to his shoulder and genty kissed his neck, pulling herself back when her face vamped out.

---

Kol grinned slightly.

"I tried…" She whispered, brushing his hair out of his face and just meeting his gaze, trying to read the emotion in his eyes.

---
"You're going to torture me and pull away soon, aren't you?" Astrid hummed against his lips.

---
Nate frowned then.

"I'm sorry!" Vanessa whispered frantically, moving her hand to cover her face.

"It's okay," He replied a little hesitantly, sitting himself up.

"I'm so sorry Nate." She whispered, sitting up and moving away from him.
