Creatures of the Dark

Ana smiled leaning against him.

Rylee watched him quietly.

Sophie sat herself down on the counter. "I'm not that short."

"I'm not talking to you until you grovel though," She shrugged, prowling back towards the house- having clearly become comfortable in her vampiric skin I'm the time she was away.

"Believe what you like," He chuckled

"Ever consider that you're just too tall?" She grinned at him, opening up the chocolate bar to take a small bite.

He smiled slightly as he followed her. “Well this should be interesting.”

Alice watched them occasionally checking her phone to see if Frankie was joining them

Max laughed softly as he played with Lily

He smiled softly

Frankie was already on his way.

Ana set their son back down so he could go play again.

Rylee got up and went to join Max and Lily.

Lily smiled waving at her.

Max turned to see her and he smiled. “Hey babe.”

Alice smiled softly as she watched them.

Stefan watched him go and play with Hayden’s son with some toy cars

She didn't respond, barely even giving him a glance over the shoulder as she pushed the door open and stepped inside.

"Mm, no. No, I am disgustingly average."

He walked inside with her.

Alessia silently went to her room, closing the door behind herself.

He watched her leave and he sighed softly before he went to his room.

Alessia settled on her bed, leaning back against the pillows and closing her eyes.

The next time she would have opened her door there was a bouquet of her favourite flowers and a small card attached to them. He wasn’t going to grovel but it didn’t mean that he would not provide her with things.

She raised an eyebrow, bringing it in and reading the note.

This is not a grovel this is a written apology. It’s nice to have you back, you’re still my best friend and I’ve seriously missed you. I’m sorry for earlier but if you don’t accept this I have loads of other gifts to send you as an apology and welcome back. Enjoy - D

"Nah-uh, you aren't." Sophia shook her in disbelief of this.

Frankie came up behind her and sat himself down beside Alice. "Looks like everyone seems to be having a good time."

Nate and Ana smiled watching their children play together.

Rylee smiled a tiny bit. "You're really good with her."

Max looked to Lily and back. “Yeah, when I was human I used to love kids.”

Hayden and Stefan smiled as the children played

Alice looked to him with a smile. “Yes we are finally in the era of peace we both craved.” She leant into him. “Where were you?”

"What about now? I- I mean.. do you want your own kids?"

Ana leaned against Stefan.

Nate wrapped an arm around Hayden.

"Did some shopping like I said.. bulk shopping if you will. Food, supplies, stuff for all of the kids." He wrapped his arms around her.

“Someday.” He told her. “I would like us to consider it, why?”

He held her close

Hayden smiled up at him kissing his cheek gently

“You should have said I would have come to help.”

""Flowers and a note is a grovel, idiot." She snorted softly in amusment to herself. Placing the note into a small cardboard shoe box and cutting the flowers so she could place them in a vase.

"I am, average in a lot of things." Diego grinned. "Not everyone can be as outstanding as you, mi amor."

He smiled to himself as he watched her take them inside. "Only to you." He muttered before he went off to the kitchen.

Alessia didn't leave her room again until later in the night, humming softly to herself as she went into the bathroom to run some taps.

He was sat at the kitchen table reading.
