"You gonna be okay, twin?" Nik asked me right before I exited the car. After I texted my girlfriend, I asked my brother to drive me to St. Anne's. I bit my lip and leaned back in my seat while inhaling deeply. After a few seconds I let the air out of my lungs and I turned to my best friend.

"I don't know," I admitted, running a hand through my hair. "But I guess I'll fine out soon, huh?" His lips quirked up ever so slightly before it was set into a straight line again. I eyed him with worry, he hasn't said much apart from his earlier speech. Not that I blame him. It was painful for me to say goodbye to Hope, I can't imagine how he and Hayley must feel.

"Well, you'd better get inside. She's pacing." He told me, and listening in I heard the light pacing of Davina. I smiled but it was one filled with all of the nerves I was feeling. This could go one of two ways. Either very good, or very bad. And I don't quite know which one I want or which one I need.

"You gonna be okay, twin?" I asked, using his words against him. He turned away from me and leaned back in his seat. I didn't need to ask if he was okay, I knew he wasn't. I felt it, his pain over letting Hope go. There was a squeezing around my heart and I knew it wasn't my own.

"I will be." He finally told me, his voice barely above a whisper. I took his hand and squeezed it comfortingly, and he squeezed it back as a tear rolled down his cheek. My heart filled with pain because my twin, my best friend was in pain and I didn't know who to help him.

"I'll be home soon." I told him and he nodded slightly before looking over at me.

"Don't do that. Don't put your life on hold just because mine is on hold." He said and I rolled my eyes at him and his daftness.

"Stupid boy, don't you know? You are my twin, and it's my job as your twin to put my life on hold when yours is on hold. And I don't mind because I know you'd do the same for me. You did do the same for me when Davina died. You stopped running the city and you just spent days with me." I told him and when he looked at me, he gave me a small smile. It wasn't much, but it was more than I expected.

And that's when I knew, he was going to be just fine. He is going to miss his daughter, but is going to make it. He won't be great, just fine. And that is alright until he gets his daughter back.

"Get in there." He ordered me, lightly pushing me by the knee and I smiled at him before getting out of the car. I waved at him as he left. I turned to the church and sighed heavily. I seemed to be doing that a lot these days.

With shaky legs and a wildly beating heart, I entered the chuch. It's funny, we are right back to where it all began. So much has happened since then, if I think back on it now. I came into town to help kill some witches that were conspiring against my twin and leave. I found so many things that I didn't expect. I found a man, a brother, I thought long dead. I found another sister in Hayley and she gave us the gift of another family member. Little Hope Mikaelson. Who we had to send away for her own safety but we will miss her dearly and will keep her in our hearts until she returned to us.

And I found Davina Claire. Now, she was something, or rather someone, I didn't expect to find in a thousand years. There is not enough words in the vocabulary to describe her, so I'll have to make due with what I've got. I'll start with a simple one: she is the love of my life, the light in my darkness and I love her so much that it hurts sometimes. She is the fiesty girl that I fell head over heels for the second I saw her. It took some time for my brain to catch up with my heart, but it got there. She drives me crazy, but brings a calmness to my soul that no other has ever done. She makes me smile, she makes me laugh and she gives me butterflies.

Before, I used to fight for my family and no one else. But then I met Davina and she gave me a reason to fight for something other than my family and myself. She broke the chains around my heart and let herself in. And you want to know the best thing about it? I don't even care because I love her. God, I love her so much.

But then she betrayed my twin by helping Marcel, and we're a package deal. You hurt the one and the other comes after you. And, yes, Marcel is someone she cares about deeply but the least she could have done is tell me what she was going to do. I'm not angry any more, I lost all of the angry and all that remains now is hurt. And that is much worse that anger.

My eyes immediately found the form of my Love as she paced up and down the aisle, but when she sensed my presence, she turned to me and stopped in her tracks. Just like when she came back from the dead, we just stared at each other. But this time we both knew the other was real, we just didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry." The brunette beauty finally breathed out. "I'm sorry about betraying you. But most of all, I'm sorry about hurting you. That's something I never wanted to do. I wanted to help Marcel and I wanted to have you. But I realise now that I can't have both. That I have to choose. You or him. And I don't want to, and I know your not making me but I have to." She rambled on. I didn't know what to say, so I kept quite until she was finished. There creeped a fear around my heart that took over my whole body and one sentence ran around in my head, 'What if she chose him?' She has known him a lot longer than she has known me. And with me, comes Nik. Someone she hates.

"W-when . . ." That was all she stuttered out before her eyes clouded with tears and her breathing became quicker. "When I saw you lying there, dead, today and yesterday, my world crashed around me and my heart stopped and I couldn't breathe, I couldn't think, I could barely function. So, I'll choose and I choose you. I will always choose you." A few tears leaked out of my eyes as her words hit my ears. "And I really hope you can forgive me."

I wiped my cheeks, cleared my throat and took a step forward before talking, "I am sorry to. For biting Josh and for almost breaking my promise to you. And you're right, you did hurt me. ." I told her, nodding my head at my last sentence. "But I'll be damned if I let you go over it, when I know I forgave you the second I walked into the Lycee."

A grin spread on her lips, and my God, she took my breath away. Just like the first time. "But, no more secrets, no more lies and if we're helping the enemy, give the other one a heads up." I tell her jokingly and she nodded, grin still on her lips as she walked to me.

"I've wanted to do this since you woke up." Was all that she said before she smashed her lips to mine. I immediately responded to her kiss and a moan left both of us as we relished in the sensation that came with kissing each other. I was like the first time we kissed all over again, just better. I tangled my hands in her hair as she slipped hers underneath my shirt as I slid my tongue in her mouth. I shivered at the skin-to-skin contact while she shivered in the way my hands tangled in her hair as I gently tugged on it.

We pulled away a few minutes later breathlessly with flushed cheeks, sparkling eyes and shakey knees, but we didn't let go of each other. We smiled at each other goofily with pure love shining our eyes.

"Speaking of secrets, I have one that I need to tell you." I told her, my eyes widening as I remembered that Nik said that I could tell her. "The baby, she didn't die." I confessed and her eyes widened.

"She didn't?" Davina asked, her jaw hanging open and I laughed lightly.

"No," I confirmed, trailing my hands up and down my Love's arms as I did so. "We faked her death and sent her to live with Rebekah." The little witch looked stunned.

"Wow, I can't even imagine what Hayley must be going through right now. And Klaus, I mean I'm not his biggest fan, but still. I'd never wish that for anyone." She said softly, her tone sympathetic. "But I guess it's better than her being dead, huh?" When she said 'better than being dead' I flinched.

"I guess so, but it doesn't hurt any less." I told her, biting my bottom lip. I felt arms wrap around my neck and I wrapped my around her waist. Tightly keeping her close to me, just to assure myself that, if nothing else, at least I have the love of my life.

"I love you, Aleksios."

"And I love you, love."

***

But what Aleksios didn't know, was that Davina was carrying a big secret with her. One that the witch felt incredibly guilty about keeping but was to scared to tell the love of her life, in fear of how she would react. And it was a secret that could result in her losing her Hybrid girlfriend.
