The Vampire Diaries

(( I don't even know who's RP Jasper now haha… ))

---

"Just give her the option, it'll make you feel better and it might help her too."

((Phoenix said she was going to keep playing him I believe XD))

"Maybe when this is over..."

(( repost for the others? I'm going onto my laptop now ))

Klaus just nodded.

Olivia just nodded as she stood up shakily.

---

Dex nodded and kissed her gentl as he wrapped an arm around her waist.

"No." Adrian whispered, shaking his head. "I can't stay here. With the ghost of me and Tamara roaming... I need to leave..."

---

Kol was silent then as he drank.

"We'll discuss it all later," Astrid whispered to Adrian, "For now, just focus on your little girl. Me and Dex'll make some food, when everyone is here we'll sort it out, okay?"

Farrah moved her head to the side when she had enough of the bottle.

---

(( Uh, not to be awkward but should we skip a few hours until everyone has arrived at Adrian's?))

Adrian just nodded as he brought his daughter closer.

((Sure, you post first?))

Later...

Astrid got to her feet after eating her food and headed into the kitchen to wash up her own dish when was done with the food she had made for them all.

Farrah was sleeping soundly - either in the small cot or in Adrian's arms still (That's yours to decide since you RP Adrian).

Adam entered his twin brothers home, calling quietly, "Adrian?"

Dex wrapped his arms around her from behind, kissing the back of her neck. "You are such a good mother... And a saviour. If it wasn't for you Adrian would have lost both... And you'd probably have lost him too. You did so well today delivering your granddaughter in a very difficult circumstance."

Adrian hadn't put his daughter down, and was curled up with her on the couch, having wrapped her in her mothers dressing gown so she could get use her mother scent. He had dozed off himself.

Eri yawned as she entered behind her brother, rubbing her eyes. Kol and Tatia following.

"I was just focusing on giving him something to cling on so I don't lose him," Astrid whispered as she leant heavily back into Dexter with an exhausted sigh, "It's been a long day, hm? Thank you, Dex, for being so good - for helping me calm Rian down like you did, you were amazing too."

Karl trailed in after them all, closing the door behind them all.

Adam opened his mouth to call for his brother again, going silent when he saw him sleeping and just heading into the other room to search for his mother instead.

((Sorry was making dinner...repost?))

(( I think I might of missed your last reply o.O ))

"Any time." Dex whispered as he gently turned her around so he could kiss her gently. "I love you. I'm sorry your family is going through such a hard time."

"Dad's awake again," Eri hummed to break the silence when they walked in in Astrid and Dex.

((Haha it's okay. Is Phoenix still playing Jasper for us?))

Evelynn stood in the doorway watching her mother and Jasper. "Is he eating now or can I take him outside to the playhouse?"


Saffron laughed ruffling her brothers hair. "We get along sometimes dad."

"He here? It won't be on if he's not here." Astrid mumbled when she heard Eri, "I'll have to have words with him if he isn't." though she sounded too tired to be overly bothered at the minute, just lifting her hand up to rest it on Dexter's cheek gently, leaning up to press her lips to his.

Adam just wrinkled his nose at seeing his mother and Dexter.

Karl sat himself down on the edge of the sofa beside Adrian.

---

"Course you do," Malvolio mumbed.

Kol just cleared his throat. "Yes I'm here."

Dex pulled away slowly then, humming. "Later." In her ear.

Adrian was snoring softly as he cradled his daughter.

"Okay okay so we don't but I'm not that young anymore and neither is he, we're okay now"

Matteo was more focused on the game.

"Something wrong Mal?" She asked looking up from the book.

"You all missed the initial chaos," Astrid whispered, nodding in response to Dexter as she pulled away from him. Grimacing when she saw where Karl was sat and calling over, "Don't wake him Karl."

"I know, I know, I'm not stupid." Karl replied with a quiet laugh.

"I don't know how much food I made spare, but, look in the oven and help yourself - should be enough for everyone." Astrid whispered.

---

"No, no, nothings wrong."

"Astrid can I have a word with you outside in private about this?" Kol asked quietly as he stepped out of the house.

"Don't have to tell me twice." Eri mumbled as she went into the oven for food.

"I'm exhausted, Kol," Astrid replied with a deep sigh but nodded, motioning for him to lead the way.

"Astrid I... I was wrong before. Hurting you the way I did was inexcusable. I was disgusting and vile and too selfish to even consider how you were feeling. Just because I was in a bad place didn't mean I had to drag you down with me, yet I did and I'm so so sorry for all the pain and the upset I caused..." Kol admitted quietly, ducking his head and stuffing his hands in his pocket. "And my heads cleared up quite a bit now I've rested it... I'm not as exhausted, emotionally drained to think... And I realised how wrong I was before. And I do love you. I love you so so much Astrid, it's killing me thinking about you being with him."

Trinity patted the couch beside her for him. "You sure?"

Astrid's shoulders tensed up at the words, whispering shakily, "You fell out of love with me, pretty boy... I tried. I tried for so, so long to fix things and..."

Kol just leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers.

Astrid lifted her hand up to slap him across the face with more force than she had intended, hissing, "No! No... You can't do this, you can't break me and kick me while I'm down, just to swan back in and.. and do that. I love you, I've always loved you, I always will and maybe if Dex wasn't around it'd be different but that isn't how it is. I love Dexter, he's accepted me even with all of the damage you left me with, even though it took me ages to admit to him I loved him because I was scared it'd be the first step to him falling out of love with me. " she grew silent then, watching the ground before adding, more quietly, "How dare you do this now, anyway, after our little boy just lost his wife and became a dad on the same day. After I had to rip our granddaughter out of our sons wife in order to save it's life, after I had to convince our boy not to run away from his daughter just because it would of been tough, Dexter helped do that too." she shook her head, backing up a little bit.
