I Love You, Goodbye
The next day, Lizzie was desperately pulling clothes off their hangers shoving them messily into a bag.
Lizzie was wearing a T-shirt with a small pant and some boots.
"What do you think you're doing?" Klaus drawled, entering the room.
"Faye said they're on the road. So, I'm going to go to them and get my children." Lizzie frowned, packing.
Klaus stepped forward gently calling her name "Elizabeth..."
" Do not tell me that it's not safe! I'll tell you what's not safe... blowing up a house just to keep your evil brother from finding them!"Lizzie cut him off.
"We will deal with Finn." Klaus sighed, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"And then what? Every time you kill him, he's just going to jump into another body." Lizzie growled in frustration.
Lizzie felt Klaus twist her around to face him as he says "We tried running. We tried hiding. Neither will work."
"So what's your bright idea?"Lizzie asked.
"As it happens, I am working on a plan as we speak! One which will be bolstered greatly if you just calm down and keep your eye on the prize!" Klaus smiled.
"Do not manage me, I have every right to..."Lizzie exhaled sharply.
"Elizabeth, Hayley is getting married today. An act which will seal the loyalty of all the wolves that answer to Finn!" Klaus said.
Lizzie sighed calming down slightly.
Klaus lifted the bag from her hand placing it onto the bed as he continued "She'll become the queen of the wolf army protecting our children. While you... You are are my wife and the love of my life which makes you to me a queen."
Lizzie looked up into his eyes and Klaus added "And a queen does not run."
"Fine."Lizzie sighed.
Later, Hayley and Lizzie stand in front of the wardrobe in Hayley's bedroom sifting through several different old dresses, hats and jewelry.
Hayley looked through a box in the corner trying to find the perfect acessory.
Rebekah entered the room hiding something behind her back before she says "Alright, bad news first, I will have to miss your nuptials."
Hayley frowned with disappointment.
Rebekah explained "Kol has a bit of a life-and-death matter he needs help dealing with."
"Anything we can do?" Hayley asked as she and Lola stepped away from the furniture edging closer to them.
"It's witch business. Which now seems to be my thing." Rebekah says, shaking her head.
Hayley laughed, smiling.
"Besides, you have enough to deal with! On that note... It's white, which won't fool anyone, but you can't get married in skinny jeans and combat boots." Rebekah trailed as she pulled out a beautiful wedding dress.
Hayley's eyes widen in surprise as she said "Oh, Rebekah... Thank you."
Rebekah smiled brightly.
Lizzie nodded pulling Hayley toward a fell-length mirror as she said "It looks perfectly elegant."
"Well, I happen to be the only woman alive who's commissioned wedding dresses in five different centuries. Never made it down the aisle, of course." Rebekah chuckled.
Lizzie told her "Well, it's not too late! From what I understand, Marcel is still single...Have you told him yet that you're... you?"
" I thought I'd hold off on that for the moment. Only complicates matters. And, I'm not exactly sure how long this...is going to last."Rebekah said gesturing to her body.
Rebekah smiles and walks toward her as she looks at Hayley affectionately before she said "Hayley... I wanted to say... Now, you might be marrying Jackson Kenner of the boozy backwater Kenners, but you're still one of us. A Mikaelson. Always will be.."
"Gosh, that would be such a nice compliment if it didn't link me to so many homicidal lunatics."Hayley smiled happily.
Rebekah smiles and winks at Hayley before she turns and leaves the room.
Later on, Klaus walked past Lizzie entwining his hand with hers, tugging her into the courtyard. Hayley, Luke and Jackson were also here.
"Nik, what are you doing?" Lizzie mumbled in annoyance.
"Patience, Elizabeth." Klaus smiled pointing at Faye, Sage, Elijah and Cami entering the courtyard.
Lizzie took Hope from Elijah's arms before she took Theo from Cami's arms.
Hope and Theo immediately begins cooing and babbling happily when they finally gets to see their mother.
"You brought them here? Finn could be anywhere!" Hayley asked.
"I've taken precautions. There'll be no uninvited guests at your wedding, and after, your wolves will be the first line of defense to this home. No more running." Klaus sighed.
Hayley turned to Jackson and says "Hope, Theo, this is Jackson. Jackson, this are Hope and Theo."
"They are pretty." Jackson complimented.
"Gets it from their momma."Lizzie smiled.
Klaus scoffed, leaning over cooing at Hope and Theo who giggled.
"The pack will be there for Hope and Theo whenever they're in danger, that is a promise, I plan to keep no matter what." Jackson said.
That night, Hayley is getting dressed in her bedroom in preparation for the wedding. She's wearing the wedding dress Rebekah got her, and her hair is loose, with braids on the sides that are secured in the back with small white flowers. Lizzie was with her. Hope and Theo were sitting on the floor, playing with her toys and cooing happily next to her.
"Ah-ha-ha! I still can't believe that you're here!" Hayley chuckled bending down next to the babies.
"Now, Auntie Hayley has to go and do this big thing, but don't worry! Because Cami will watch you, and after that, your mom will not let you out of her sight!"She added.
Lizzie took Hope and Theo into her arms and said "Come on. Let's go find daddy."
Lizzie walked out of the room heading to the room she share with Klaus.
She smiled brightly watching Klaus turn around warmly reaching out for Hope and Theo.
"Look, Hope, Theo. Daddy's here." Lizzie says, placing them in Klaus arms.
Hope and Theo leaned into his touch, gently laying their heads on his chest.
He gently soothed them to sleep, placing them into their crib.
Lizzie was wearing a green dress with some heels.
"I see you put the nursery back together." Lizzie smiled.
"Our children deserves their place in their home." Klaus says, standing next to her.
Lizzie felt his arm snake around her wast pulling her closer, the two of them peering over their sleeping babies.
"I wish it could always be like this." Lizzie sighed, laying her head on his shoulder.
"Despite the never-ending enemies, Elizabeth, I will keep our family safe."Klaus promised kissing her cheek softly.
"We'll protect them together." Lizzie returned the affection leaving a kiss on his cheek.
Some time later, Klaus stand next to her on the balcony listening to the ceremony begin.
"We gather together as a community seeking peace, inspired by this couple standing before you." Mary begins.
Lizzie noticed Sage, Luke and Elijah joined them beside Klaus.
"There was a time when werewolves saw themselves not as cursed, but blessed with connection to our most pure selves. And tonight, we honor that blessing with the long-awaited unification of the two Crescent bloodlines. In doing so, we choose to embrace Hayley's vampire nature. With this union, Hayley will share her unique gifts with their pack." Mary said as she performed a hand-fasting by binding Hayley and Jackson's wrists with baby's breath flowers and placing a long lit match into Jackson and Hayley's linked hands to light their ceremonial candle.
"And now, your vows." Mary told Jackson and Hayley.
Jackson takes a deep breathe "I pledge to honor you and defend you and yours above all others."
"To share in blessings and burdens. To be your advocate, your champion." Hayley smiled.
"To be your comfort, your sanctuary, and for as long as we both shall live." Jackson said.
"To be your family." Jackson and Hayley whispered together.
"You two have endured all the traditional werewolf rituals and trials. There is only one remaining. Jackson, you may kiss your bride." Mary smiled brightly.
They stared at each other before indulging in a passionate kiss.
All the werewolves in the room had their eyes gold.
Afterwards, Klaus was holding Hope and Theo as he called out to the crowd "Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please? I would like to propose a toast. As you know, last spring, me and Elizabeth had children. Due to tragic circumstance, they were lost. Now, they had returned. Their names are Hope and Theo. They will live here among you, her pack. Their family. We implore you... protect our children. Teach them. Love them, as ones of your own."
The crowd claps in agreement, everyone raising their glasses of champagne.
"Jackson, I invite you to live here, uniting your proud and noble people in peace. Welcome to the family, mate. To Hayley and Jackson!"Klaus then said.
Later, Lizzie and Klaus were leaning over Hope and Theo' crib, watching her as she fidgets around. When he hears Elijah and Rebekah come into the room, he sighs in annoyance "Must you intrude on every moment?"
Elijah stated, letting out a small breath "I'm not here to quarrel, brother."
" It's Kol. I couldn't help him. He's not gonna last the night"The Mikaelson sister revealed.
Lizzie's face dropped at the revelation. She kinda liked him. He was like an older brother to her.
As much as Klaus wished against it, Lizzie brought Hope and Theo. Kol needed to meet them at least once before he died... after all, she was sure he'd be their favourite uncle.
The four sauntered down to the Claire tomb where Davina, Luke and Kol were, the Mikaelson spluttered out a cough, weakly stumbling away from Davina and Luke.
The former original continued to cough as he stumbled toward one of the tombs "I think I want to be alone for this bit."
Elijah told him, Kol turned in shock finding his siblings and Lizzie stood, two small children sat comfortably in Lola's arms "I'm afraid that's not an option."
"Always and forever is not something that you just weasel out of, brother."Klaus smiled sadly towards his younger brother as Lizzie slowly made her way over to him.
Lizzie breathed out "Yeah. And you can't die without your niece and nephew meeting their favourite uncle."
Kol let a small, pained smile spread across his lips as he looked between his siblings and Lizzie before looking down at the children.
They had moved Kol into the tomb where Esther held Elijah captive, the small space was surrounded by candles as Luke and Davina sat a few feet away, holding a necklace tightly in her grasp as she whispered a small spell.
Kol groaned in pain, blood pouring from both his mouth and nose as he looked between his siblings as he laid on the floor, surrounded by his family before he admitted, teary eyed as he tightly gripped onto Klaus' coat "All my life, all I ever wanted was for you lot to care about me."
He then looked at Hope and Theo "Thank you for letting me meet them."
Klaus struggles to hold back his tears, and before Kol can laugh, he's overcome by another coughing fit that startles Rebekah. She sits down on the ground, and she and Elijah rub Kol's back as he coughs before leaning him backward so she can cradle Kol's head in her lap. Kol grabs onto Rebekah's hand and squeezes it as he groans.
Rebekah cried "Kol, listen to me. You don't have long. You're going to die."
Kol can no longer hold back his tears, and he grips her arm tighter
She continued " But you will die a witch, and we will consecrate your body. You will join the ancestors of the French Quarter, and those spirits can be brought back. And, I promise you, brother, I will not leave this body until I find a way to bring you home."
Kol smiles at her, despite his pain, but quickly begins to cough even harder. Davina finally finishes her spell with Luke and crawls toward Kol to give him the necklace, both frantic and in tears and Davina said " I tried a different spell."
Kol takes her hand and squeezes it as tightly as he can manage as he assured his girlfriend "It's okay. I'm not scared."
Davina tries her best to smile at him through her tears, and Kol manages one last laugh before he dies in Rebekah's arms. Davina breaks down in sobs, and Luke, Lizzie, Elijah and Klaus begin crying freely as well over Kol's body.
A/N Before doing episode 15, I will do some episodes of vampire diaries. Next chapter will be the thanksgiving episode where Caroline decided to invited Faye, so she'll go with Lizzie and Luke where they'll see Jo again. Faye got along pretty well with Caroline.
