Caleb held her close rubbing her back in soothing circles

"Wanted to see if you needed any help." Astrid shrugged.

"I'll invite her around later, me and your mother will have a word with her." Klaus assured gently.

Mia cried into his shoulder.

"You not bring the kid?" Kol mumbled as he placed the box down. He'd decorated the place lightly. Most of the decoration were photographs of his kids and grandchildren, though there were a few of him and Astrid and one or two of him and Olivia.

"Like that'll help."

SpiritWolfe Fri 11 Jul - 0:42

"How about we go away for a bit hmm? Just the two of us to get away from things?"

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Jul - 0:52

"Mica wanted to spend time with him, mum is keeping an eye on him." Astrid whispered quietly in response to that, shrugging a little bit. Flinching as her gaze went around the room and she saw all of the memories, tensing ever so slightly at the photos of herself and him.

"It might."

"How will that solve anything?" Mia sobbed, "It won't.. It won't fix anything."

Phoenix Fri 11 Jul - 0:53

"Memories are important. Our memories make up who we are as even though it's not how it was, I enjoy remembering how happy we were. Gives me hope I can be happy again."

"It won't. You know it."

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Jul - 0:57

Astrid just shook her head in the negative and glanced down at the floor, "Don't put photos of us up. It might make me think there is hope."

Klaus just sighed, "Your mother has her ways, you know that."

Leon just rested his head on Vanessa's head gently.

Phoenix Fri 11 Jul - 1:00

"I just want my baby happy..."

"It's my apartment.. I can do what I want."

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Jul - 1:04

"Kol this hurts enough…" Astrid whined, "Please. I wish I was you, I wish I could look at photos of us and not feel anything, it must be so bloody easy for you but it kills me." she cried, "And I thought looking after Jasper would fix us…"

"I know." Klaus replied.

SpiritWolfe Fri 11 Jul - 1:06

"I didn't say it would solve anything, make anything better love. I know it won't fix anything but I thought it'd be nice for us to just be together away from it all for a bit..."

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Jul - 1:08

"No…. I'll just be miserable, mess it all up, bring the mood down. YOu can go if you want, you and Eve. You'll be safer away from me anyway."

Phoenix Fri 11 Jul - 1:09

"What?! Bringing a baby into a broken home?! Babies are hard enough as it is Astrid! Can put a strain on the most strong of relationships! Not a good move! Especially a baby that's not ours so I feel no inclination towards!"

"I don't even know where she is dad..."

SpiritWolfe Fri 11 Jul - 1:16

"Oh no. No no no. That's not happening M, no way. If you're not coming then none of us are going. I'm never leaving you again I've told you that" he shook his head holding her tightly.

"Dad's right mom. I'm not leaving either, not while you need me."

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Jul - 1:23

"Fuck off. It doesn't matter anymore, does it…" Astrid mumbled, hesitating befor grabbing his roughly and showing him and making him feel everything as she hissed, "Enjoy your fucking life Kol, knowing that I went through seventeen years worth of sleepless night, nightmare filled when they weren't sleepless. Seventeen years of being so worried about your that I wanted to throw up, for being ashamed and thinking there was something wrong with me when I couldn't let you go whilst everyone else told me that I was crazy all the whilst while grieving for my mother. The hope when Olivia showed me she had seen you, the jealous - the pure jealous that you had gotten to hold her, that you hold her, the anger that she didn't have it in her to save you when I would of. The misery when people still refused to believe me, how the worry and fear got worse every day after that to the point sometimes I couldn't search for you just because I wanted to pretend it was all a nightmare and you were right there. This the relief I felt when I finally found you, the fear that you would hate me, the joy when you said you didn't. How nice it was to hear your voice again, and see you. How I just wanted you to be okay again when I heard you scream in your dreams, how happy I felt when you started to let me close…. When you started to pretend like you loved me again. The hope, the false knowing I held for years that eventually you'll hold me again and I'd hear you say that you were in love with me and that we could go to Paris again and do the things we used to…. Now the pain of you saying you didn't love me anymore, feel how I feel like it is all my fucking fault for not finding you in time, like I'm not good enough for you anymore, like everything has been a lie all along because you don't just fall out of love. The jealousy and the bitterness that you held Olivia, you held Olivia last and not me… not me. The jealousy that you can just be so free of me and you without hurting like I am… the awful, awful bitter sweetness that you don't feel it, that you can be happy."

"She's like you, Ness. You are going through everything with her that me and your mother went through with you."

"I don't want Vanessa to hurt either of you," Mia replied quietly.

SpiritWolfe Fri 11 Jul - 1:32

"We'll take it step by step, one day at a time cause neither of us are leaving you" he whispered softly kissing the side of her head.

"And if I really need to get away mom I can go to Trin and Mal's."

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Jul - 1:33

"Malvolio is my cousin, that isn't getting away. Uncle Finn and Cameron know where he lives, Ness would find you…"

Phoenix Fri 11 Jul - 1:33

"You think I'm happy?! You think that I have had one shred of untainted happiness in the past god knows how many years?! Decades?! My entire family fort about me and moved on and then they all hated me and harassed me when I came back and I wasn't the same person anymore! Do you think that I'm pleased with myself that I can't love you?! I wanted to come back and everything be fine and how it used to be but everyone moved forward as developed lives that I wasn't a part of! I want to love you Astrid but I spent so so long being tortured! I spent so long without feels that it's just so hard to feel anything for anyone and I hate myself for it completely! My own kids... It's a struggle to love them and they're my babies! And then you brig another one I to the house and expect that poor kid to act like superglue for our broken relationship! I'm finding it so hard to feel and get used to feeling things and you shove a baby in my face and expect me to love him as my own and it's impossible right now Astrid!"

"This is worse..."

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Jul - 1:42

"I love you!" Astrid screamed, "I love you and your hurting me so much! Get the fucking pictures down of us! Your hurting me so much and that bitch got to be held by you and didn't save you and you held her last, not me… I-I…" she shook her head, just backing up and turning her back on him so he wouldn't see her tears. Shoulders trembling.

"No, it isn't… I'd say it's equal. You put me and your mother through this, constantly unhappy, never catching a break. We felt exactly what you're feeling now."

SpiritWolfe Fri 11 Jul - 1:45

"Then I'll go stay with a friend or something. I'll be okay mom stop worrying"

Caleb sighed holding her tighter.

((What's that kids name that Eve met?))

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Jul - 1:46

(( I can't remember :L ))

Mia remained silent then.

SpiritWolfe Fri 11 Jul - 1:48

((Haha! I'll try to go back a bit and see if I can find it))

Caleb held her close kissing her forehead.

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Jul - 1:49

Mia didn't say a word.

Phoenix Fri 11 Jul - 1:50

"Oh I'm sorry." Vanessa snapped when he said 'you put me and your mother through this'. "I didn't realise I was such a fucking burden."

"She was in pain! If it was a random women I didn't know I would've held her too because she was in pain and I thought the hunters were going to kill her! I thought she was going to have that baby and then have her throat slashed and her head hacked off and I didn't want her to die alone! You selfish cow if you hate her for that! Hate her for a choice I made! Would you have wanted me to leave her screaming alone?! If it weren't for me she would be dead! And so would your grandson! So how dare you hate her for that!"

SpiritWolfe Fri 11 Jul - 1:52

He slowly ran a hand through her hair just keeping her close then.

**BestNameEva** Fri 11 Jul - 1:54

"I don't hate her! I never said I hated her!" Astrid hissed, shaking her head and sobbing, "I can't take this. I can't take you. It hurts too much, it hurts too much maxi was an idiot for believing I could make you understand how much it hurts.…" before heading out of the house.
