It's a fresher day. A calmer one at that.

I'm lounging on the balcony allowing as i have been for days. The sun is washing into my skin, the air is flowing through my lungs.

Able has also found a liking to travelling life.

Sporting a hotel complementary face mask as he sits beside me on his own deck chair.

"You know you haven't killed anyone in like two days? That's an achievement. We should celebrate." I look over to him lifting the sunglasses from my face.

"I killed someone last night for knocking to loudly when you were sleeping." I admit gesturing to the 'sleeping' man on the poolside below.

"I worry for you often." He shakes his head before huffing.

"Well let me play that conversation on anyway. You were supposed to say, great idea. Where i would then tell you, oh wait you can't. You would obviously scoff and ask why. Where i would drop the bomb that you are totally pregnant and my witch radar sensed it." I sit up slowly.

Wiping the sweat on my head before turning to him.

"If you are fucking with me i swear ill dump your ass on Kyrin to live with forever and beyond." He shales his head at me swiftly.

"I'm really serious right now. There is something crazy weird in your stomach." I blink, blink again.

Then come to the realisation that i had fucked with the only person who could get me pregnant.

And then the realsiation i had left him in the dirt.

For his own benefit, to be with someone who could love him like i could not.

Return adoration and affection.

Love unconditionally.

Due to the fact that i am not the type of person who offers happiness. Yet this was possible. I could give him the heir he had lacked for a millennia. Someone who would love him with everything, admire and look up to him.

"Fuck. We have to go back to Mystic Falls." Able's eyes snap to mine.

"Where?"

"You claim to know your history but you have not heard of the tales of Eris and Damon. I get the newer drama but those are a classic." I roll my eyes rushing into the hotel suit.

"So this Damon guy knocked you up?" I stare at him blankly as he looks to the floor.

"Got you pregnant."

"No he did not. Damon was my reason for return, i then met my shadow mate. Whom i had wanted dead. We force each other to endure hell and back, all the while gaining an understanding of each other. Risk of death and failure strikes both, one snaps. Leaves town. We don't speak of it." He hums.

"So your shadow mate is the father, you had a spat or something now your going back because of the baby." I huff.

"Not the baby, the possibility of the baby." I slip into actual clothing as i usher him into his room. He calls through the walls.

"So your shadowmate. Who is it?" I roll my eyes as i get myself ready, calling back to him.

"The original hybrid. Klaus Mikaelson. Heard of him?" I ask loudly as a thud sounds from the other room. Able comes hurtling in, tugging his shirt on with a face of utter shock.

"Who's idea was it to fate you two? That guys a maniac, a recluse." He states quickly.

"He actually has his charms and who am i to judge on ones downfalls?" I pull him from the hotel room as i sling a bag over my shoulder. We both rush down to my car.

He does not stop with his questioning.

"And you left him? Why?"

"I had tried to force the town to peace, making my relationship with Damon rocky. He has been the only factor to gift me joy in nearly two centuries. I wasn't willing to lose him and still i continued making our friendship unstable. Then i realised i was not one to make peace and that i could never truly give Nik the happiness i wanted him to have." We reach the car, pile in and ignite the engine.

"But things have changed now your pregnant? You think a kid is going to fix everything." I shake my head.

"A child will offer the type of love one can only have through producing an heir. It's unwavering and dependant and unbound. That is the type of love someone such as Nik needs. A love i could have never given, until now." He nods his head as we set off from the sunnier sides we had left to.

"And your not freaking out right now?" He asks another question as i roll my eyes.

"I'm over a millennia old, I've suffered through the pain of my bones shattering and healing a new more then i can count. I'd say im nervous to see Nik again, to explain this miracle. Though to be pregnant, i do not fear it. Surely i have had enough time to prepare?"

And yet it was rather new wasn't it?

I didn't exactly want to be pregnant, wasn't a thing id ever imagined myself being.

I was not the type of motherly person.

But i was willing to try now, to elongate the family i already have.

Raise someone who i would cherish, whom would cherish me in return.

I force the car to go faster, instead of changing my mind and turning around.

Throughout it all, Nik had a right to know. He himself had been barren for a millennia, this opportunity and choice was his to make as well as my own.

And so i had to see him.

I had to return to Mystic Falls, centuries before i had planned to.

"Get some sleep Able. I assure you the word spread about Mystic Fall's is not exaggerated." He shrugs his shoulders leaning against the car window as i place on some calming music.

Once he drifts off i am left to my thoughts. One overwhelming one lingering above the rest.

Gifting me calmness in the moment apposed to any other feeling i should be experiencing.

Maybe this was my chance, my shot at redemption. My path way to goodness.
