Chapter 20

Immortal Dilemmas

“Guys, s-something’s wrong! We got to go! Something’s wrong with Hailey!” Stefan said with a pained and panicked face. Ron hadn’t felt fear like that since the war but it was definitely bringing back memories. The dread he felt when Voldemort screamed that Hailey was dead and the denial he felt until it came crashing down when he saw Hagrid with a tear stained face holding what was thought to be her corpse. Thank the deities that it was not her time yet! The same feelings were coming back, he looked around and saw the same worried looks on the others. He made a gesture and quickly grabbed Stefan’s arm and ran out of the grill into the back alley. He saw that his brothers had caught on to what the plan was. Stefan looked near catatonic but there wasn’t any time to spare, quickly wizards paired off with vampires and apparated back to the Mickaelson Mansion.

Stefan looked like he was getting worse, when they landed he had keeled over and was grabbing his chest in pain. Bill made a move to try and help him back up but Klaus was quick to stop him, Bill was about to ask him why he stopped him when a furious roar erupted from Stefan. The vampires were quick to jump in front and cover the magicals. Klaus had to suppress a shiver when Stefan had stopped screaming and looked dead straight at the mansion. His worse fear for his brother had happened, something bad happened to Hailey and now Stefan’s vampire had gone feral. Before he could bark at his brothers to help hold back Stefan, he had sped into the mansion. They all chased after him but the scene in front of him filled him with dread.

Stefan was hovering over a disturbingly still Hailey and Kol had a piece of broken furniture lodged in his chest. It doesn’t kill them but it still takes them out for a small period of time. He rushed over to pull it out, it shouldn’t take too long for him to wake up. Klaus and his brothers started to frantically look around, the boys…where are the boys?! That’s when a cry of anguish was let out by Stefan. They were all in shock and ran towards him. He let out a hiss when they came too close. He was holding Hailey close to his chest, one hand in her hair and the other around her back but she wasn’t holding him back, she was limp.

She wasn’t breathing. The magicals were suddenly back at Hogwarts seeing the scene all over again and the vampires were being filled with anguish and rage at the loss of their new family. Ron took in a shaky breath in and tried to not let loose the tears that were threatening to spill he had to remind himself the facts. Hailey is the Mistress of Death, even if she dies she won’t stay dead.

“Everyone calm dow-“ he tried to explain before things could escalate.

“How can we possibly be calm?!? Hailey is gone and the boys are missing!!” Klaus’s eyes were flashing from how angry he was and how his wolf was trying to break out and tear out the throat of who was responsible for it.

“SHES NOT GONE-listen there are some things we haven’t gotten to tell you guys yet-“ Ron was cutoff as Hailey sucked in a large gasp and started coughing. Stefan, who still had his feral face on and tears running down, scrambled to put her in a proper position. Kol was coming back as well and was being brought up by his brothers. Hailey was flailing around and trying to get up from the ground but Stefan wasn’t letting her.

“THE BOYS!! WHERE ARE MY BOYS?!? WHERE ARE MY BABIES?!?” She was looking around frantically still trying to get out of Stefan’s arms until Percy had grasped her attention by grabbing her shoulders and barely flinching when Stefan snarled at him. The others were still trying to grasp reality as Hailey still had her human scent.

“Hailey! You got to tell us what happened!” Ever the logical one Percy wanted to know the situation before acting. But what Hailey said threw whatever calm response he could possibly have.

“Katherine happened! She must of took the boys, we got to go!”, she tried to again leave her husband’s arm but was confused on to why he wasn’t letting her go. Kol let out a growl at hearing the woman’s name.

“You just came back from the dead! You shouldn’t be moving around too much! Not to mention, Hailey we don’t know where they went how can we possibly find-“ Elijah tried to reason with her until she pulled out her pendant and muttered a spell which unleashed two golden arrows pointing.

“Little treat MACUSA put in for me, now- LETS GO!” She screamed to everyone, they looked about ready to flash out and have the magicals hitch a ride but Stefan wasn’t moving. Stefan was just sitting with her on the floor letting out wounded growls when she tried to leave. His feral look had yet to leave him. Hailey finally asked her burning question.“What’s going on, why isn’t he talking and why isn’t he letting me go?”

“It’s his vampire, love. It went feral from feeling your death and now it’s likely he won’t be able to do muck other than hover over you until you can snap him out of it.” Klaus said with some trepidation. In theory a mate should be able to calm and coax a feral ripper, so far it seems possible. Hailey took Stefan’s face into her hands and forced eye contact, her face was filled with determination but also with panic.

“Stefan-Stefan, look at me! Katherine did this, she tried to take me away from you, but she didn’t but now she’s trying to take our boys! Stefan please we need to get our babies back! We have to!” Something flickered in his eyes. It started to settle down but his eyes were still blood red, the vampire still had major control. He nodded his head obediently. She reached up and wiped the tear tracks on his face away and nodded back. She looked to everyone. “Follow the arrows! They can shows us the way even with your speed involved! Let’s get the boys back!”

The arrows led them down a familiar path and then it made sense why. Katherine had gone to where she first met the Salvatore brothers, the Salvatore Estate now Boardinghouse. They barged in and found her sitting on the ground. “It never gets old seeing Stefan all sweaty, hot and bothered. Just like when we first met, right Stefan?” Katherine had an amused and cocky smirk on her face which looked misplaced because of how ragged she looked. It quickly dropped as Stefan answered her with an animalistic snarl. She had on the same purple Henley and jeans on when she was impersonating Elena at the park. But it was bloody and torn with her jeans stained of mud and grime. She was practically malnourished from how little she had gotten to drink and her hair was slicked and matted with grime. But what made everyone’s hearts jump was that she had the boys right beside her.

They were crying their lungs out and displaying their natures. Cedar was levitating and throwing everything and Caelan had his baby fangs in full display trying to bite at her. But with Katherine so close to them she wasn’t affected by the chaos as well as keep them a distance to avoid biting. Seeing her just sitting there and daring to taunt them had Hailey boiling and her magic was beginning to react to her emotions.

“Katherine Pierce! You worthless bint! GIVE ME BACK MY BABIES!” The smirk that had dropped from Katherine’s face had come back full force with Hailey’s shouting. What could a human or witch do to her, Katherine Pierce. She’s survived over five hundred years on the run, she could survive a little girls tantrum. Everything this girl had should belong to her! Getting to raise her children despite being young and having Stefan at her side to do it, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN KATHERINE. It was as if an outside force was speaking as her subconscious, making her be impulsive and more angry like she had to do it. She ignored it and started leering over Stefan again. Her eyes started to travel and she flinched when he lot out a small roar In retaliation. She looked around her redheads with the weird sticks and the Originals, she smirked.

“I don’t know about that…they just have the perfect amount of their daddy in them. Especially this one, he looks so much like Stefan. Would you mind if I just keep him? You can have the other, I just hope that this one is just as much fun as his daddy was.” Hailey had frozen at the implication of what Katherine was intending to do to HER BABY. As if something had snapped, her head drooped and she started to walk towards Katherine. She walked despite the hissing and shouting from everyone and as if Stefan knew something was amiss he just let out a small whimper.

The smirk was slowly dropping from Katherine’s face as the feeling of dread was quickly rising in her. The lights were flickering and the air was becoming cold. Then an unearthly screech was heard in the distance causing everyone but Hailey to flinch. Instead she raised her arm and pointed a single finger at Katherine. She raised her head and caused her family to let out large gasps and be riddled with befuddlement. Her eyes, instead of white it’s had become black and her irises her glowing reminding the Weasleys of the Killing Curse. The screeching was getting closer and closer until it just stopped. Then all of a sudden the door had slammed open and the screeching had filled the house. Ron was quick to bark orders.

“Everyone against the walls don’t get close to those things!” He said while dragging Kol with him.

“What are those things?!” Klaus had been dragged to the wall by one of the twins. He was eyeing the Spector like things that were floating around the room. Every instinct in his body was telling him to run from those things.

“Dementors!”, as he said it the soul suckers had stopped flying around the room and came to a stop by standing behind Hailey, like dogs awaiting their masters orders to eat.

“Her.”, Hailey said simply but it left everyone with chills as her voice had changed to something unearthly. The Dementors charged at Katherine. They lifted her up by her arms and floated her away from Cedar and Caelan. With them so close to her and touching her Katherine was reliving every horrible memory she had. It didn’t take long for her to start begging.

“Please no! I-I’ll do anything I’ll leave you alone just let me go! I didn’t mean it!” She tried getting out of their grips but she couldn’t as she started to freeze in fear when Hailey Potter started to stroll towards her. She stopped momentarily when she got close enough to the boys. She picked them up and they calmed down almost instantly. She looked to the redheaded twins and they quickly scrambled up to get the boys from her. Once the twins were at a safe distance she turned her attention back to Katherine. In the corner of her eye she could see Stefan pelting himself over to the boys and frantically looking them over and nuzzling them when he deemed that they were okay.

“You didn’t mean it! You have evaded your crimes for too long!” Hailey’s voice had never sounded so bone chilling before even when facing off Death Eaters, that doesn’t compare to how angry she sounded at this very moment. She scoffed when Katherine started to form crocodile tears. And then started to explain herself that she was just jealous and just wanted some piece of Stefan. Hailey looked to the dementor on Katherine’s right with a raised eyebrow and I quickly put its corpse like hand over her mouth to shut her pleading up. Katherine was trying to get sympathy from anyone in the room with her wide fear filled eyes but she was just met with looks of disdain.

“Katerina Petrova in the name of Death, I sentence you to your own personal hell! May your last moments be filled with remorse as no rest will accompany you!” She nodded to the Dementors and it removed its hand while the other leaned in. All her manipulation tactics and persuasion powers proved fruitless when being sentenced to the Dementor’s Kiss. The vampires looked on in horror as a white vapor left Katherine’s body and was being sucked up by the Dementor. They let her go and they expected to having to hold her down but she just sat there like a husk. Breathing but looking so empty. The Dementors bowed to Hailey and flew out of the house. Everyone let out a breath they didn’t know they were holding. Stefan ran up to Hailey with the boys still with him, she gave them a faint smile…before promptly fainting. Fred was quick to conjure a very big bean bag for her to fall on. He knew that right now Stefan was in a very delicate mindset and anything could set him off. Not matter how worried he was for Hailey he could not risk it more by possibly pushing her mate too far.

Stefan made a wounded noise and climbed on the bean bag with her. Her arrange his family into a comfortable position. He was slowly coming back, the boys were rightfully tired and found a good sleeping place on their mama. Stefan was being lulled to sleep as well. As soon as Percy saw that they were asleep he put a silencing charm on them. They needed to plan out how they were going to move them back home without waking them up or drawing too much attention. From what he gathered this house was still being used by Damon so they needed to figure it out quickly. Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Damon barged in with Elena both looked very irritated and with seeing them we’re about to begin interrogating when Charlie and Ron have had enough and hit them a Petrificus Totalus. They rubbed their foreheads when they both dropped like rocks into the floor. It was really turning into a long day.

Hey, it’s been a while since you’ve update Immortal Dilemmas and I was just wondering if you were okay? Remember that I and lots of other people value and appreciate you 💖

Hey! Yeah sorry about not updating. I’ve just got finished up with the last of my semester and then I’ve been working and had to recently travel out of the country but I’m back! Thanks for the kind words I’m trying to finish up the last few chapters so hopefully if things go right they’ll be out in a bit!

Immortal Dilemmas

Chapter 22

It was as if the warm atmosphere that was created by the immortal couple had become as cold as ice when Damon had stalked his way in. Stefan had to motion the hybrids to stand down, it wouldn't do much good to make a scene. They would have been completely fine ignoring Damon and going along in their evening; as long as Damon didn't try anything, there wasn't much use in getting worked up over his presence. That thought made Stefan lose up a bit, but he ended up tensing immediately after inwardly, he had to hold back a snarl. What made the Ripper in Stefan snarl was that once Damon was aware of their presence, he had an unwavering glare on Hailey. Stefan wanted to lash out and ask Damon what the hell his problem was, but he bit it back after seeing Damon's eyes flicker to him and ultimately turned his gaze to the bar. Good, at least Damon had enough sense while unhinged not to start something right now. He felt his hand squeezed and turned his gaze to his wife. Finally, his hard glare softened when he saw her look of concern for him. He didn't want to push himself today; it was supposed to be a day to relax, not another day to worry about his demented brother. He squeezed back in assurance, raised his eyebrow, and nodded to the door; she nodded, agreeing it was better to go than to stay and potentially clash with Damon. She knew that both of them were already in a very unstable emotional state; how they interacted before would be like a puppy and kitten tugging at the same toy compared to whatever brawl or argument could happen right now. They left money on the table including a generous tip, ignored the scoff they heard from Damon, and headed out with the hybrids in tow. They knew the only reason they couldn't feel a heated glare on their backs was that the hybrids acted as a buffer.

Damon could only fume as he heard the door slam shut behind his brother and his puppy possie. The more he thought about recent events, the more he wanted to lash out and paint the town red with whoever was misfortunate enough to cross his path in his rampage. He had spent over a hundred years trying to get Katherine back with the sole ideology that once she had seen how useful he was and how loyal he was to stay to her, she would finally choose him over Stefan, proving to him that his brother wasn't his superior. But all that time and effort was wasted and spat back in his face when she wasn't even in the crypt, he had nearly done Elena in just because she had the same face as the woman who would never return his feelings. Unfortunately, he realized afterward that Katherine had never loved him or his brother. She had just wanted to own them. Like some loyal dogs that would be at her beck and call and with whom she could play whenever the need arose. But his vampire couldn't accept it, the whole reason for him becoming a vampire and what drove him to stay alive as one was Katherine, his obsession and only she could be the one to give value to his being. Now she's gone, what was he supposed to do now? Elena could never be Katherine; she would just be some poor imitation no matter how much he would mold her. He can't get revenge on the freaky little witch that Stefan is so keen on playing house with, if she could make Katherine like that there would be no telling what nightmare she would have in store for him. He couldn't act without a plan, and it was driving him up a wall, he was always the impulsive one, but he could only be so rash, the odds of him surviving any interaction after he tried to get revenge were so slim that they were practically transparent. He hadn't noticed two blondes sitting at a booth diagonal towards him. If he had he would have noticed the male pointing one of those freaky sticks that the Potters frequently had on their persons straight at him. He felt something faintly brush against his back before finally noticing them. He didn't know what was happening anymore, but suddenly, he was walking towards them at a sedated pace. Everything feels like he's in a big fog, lost with no way of knowing where he is going and no idea what he could be doing. He could faintly hear what was being ordered of him.

Lucious didn't even bother to turn toward the vampire he had just cast the imperious curse on. "Listen well, vampire. You are to follow your brother and that witch; I can see the anger in your eyes towards them. You cared for that female vampire, didn't you? Well, now, isn't it just unfair that your brother walks happily with that girl while yours is barely a living husk? Don't you want to let your anger out, don't you want them to know pain? Go to them, but do make sure that the witch at least lives, she still has a purpose of being useful to me.", once the order was given, he and Esther got up from the booth to leave Damon on his own. When Damon had snapped out of his daze, he looked around him, trying to remember what he was doing, until an image of Katherine popped into his mind, and then, like a tidal wave, anger slammed into him. His vampire face came out full force he turned towards the door and quickly picked up the scent of his brother. It was time to get even.

He and Hailey were both a little tense, and both decided it was time to go home, their date had gone great but with Damon near it just made the both of them nervous. Damon was impulsive but most of the time he wasn't stupid, but he wasn't going to chance it, when it came to Damon's anger no one knew it better than Stefan. Just as they reached the parking lot, Stefan's ears picked up the sound of someone speeding towards them. By the tensing he noticed in the hybrids, he concluded they picked it up, too. Just as he turned towards the sound, he suddenly flew back and crashed into his car door. He heard Hailey shout his name before he heard a sickening crack, he quickly reoriented himself to see the hybrids in front of Hailey trying to fend Damon off, the crack he heard had come from Damon breaking one of their necks as he noticed one of them downed on the rough granite of the parking lot. In all the chaos, they couldn't tell with Damon's vampire face on that his usual eyes were clouded over. Stefan tried to will his healing to speed up to fix his fractured spine as Damon was quickly snapping the remaining hybrids' necks. Odd Damon was usually one to finish an enemy off with no chance of recovering, but he couldn't focus on that right now! His brother was snarling over Hailey, panting like some rabid animal. He had nearly finished healing when he finally heard his brother speak.

He sneered at her and finally exploded, “What makes you so great?! What makes you so special that my dimwitted little brother is willing to throw everything away for you?! Katherine wasn’t perfect but she was beautiful, smart, and strong!”, he stopped pacing. He looked at her with a murderous smile. “And what do you have? Your freaky witchy powers?! The only thing you’re good for is being a bed warmer...and maybe to be a decent meal. And now that I think about it, I’m hungry.” he sped towards her, uncaring about what consequences may come, and sunk his fangs into her shoulder…to only then be blown back into the wall…hard. His spine was definitely broken, he used his forearms to pick his upper body up and looked to see his brother staring down at him with an emotionless face.

As if possessed, Stefan had stalked towards his brother, lifted him up by his shoulder, and planted his hand into Damon's chest. Damon let out a painful wheeze, feeling his brother's hand around his heart and his nails digging into the organ. Hailey had finally recovered enough to sit up and witness her husband have his hand in Damon's chest. Normally, she would have felt satisfaction at seeing Damon helpless at the hands of her beloved but something was off, her magic was shifting as if trying to send her some signal, seeing as how her husband had the situation handled she allowed her magic to venture and it led her to see a disturbance around Damon, it made her investigate his appearance, his vampire face was gone, and as she landed on his eyes she was pulled into a flashback of the Triwizard Tournament when Viktor had the same eyes as him when he was under the Imperious Curse. She groaned inwardly but was also slightly panicked; someone had put Damon under the Imperious Curse, Mystic Falls was compromised, and an enemy had found her home. She hated to admit it, but she needed to stop Stefan; she would need Damon alive to get information.

"Love, please come back to me, I need you more than I need to see your brother in pain.", she whispered to him but knew he could hear her all the same. He growled and slowly pulled out his hand from his brother's chest cavity, but to ensure that he wouldn't move to attack his wife again, he broke both of Damon's legs, his right leg sluggishly bleeding as a bone had pierced out. He waited for his wife to approach him and felt some of the tension in his body bleed out when she put her hand on his nape, skin contact with his wife had become a quick way to ground him. He tensed again when his wife moved away from him and walked towards Damon, who looked and sounded like a wounded animal. When Damon tried to lunge at her, she was quick enough to throw a red spell from her hand at his face, leaving Damon knocked out cold. This was ideal, while she was never up to Snape's standards in Occlumency, she had refined herself well enough to probe through minds without leaving the person a jumbled mess, she ignored the hiss that came out of Stefan when she had to put her hands on Damon's head to open his eyes, she starred into them and dived into his memories. She started easy and came to his most recent memory in the Mystic Grill just minutes ago. She looked around and stopped cold at what she saw but wasn't too surprised. It, however, did not quell her bubbling rage. Lucious Malfoy seemed to have made a friend, but she'd need to show this memory to others to see if anyone knew her. Why couldn't this man leave her alone and find some other way to save his reputation and failing household, she swears that Tom's obsession with her must have transferred to his death munchers after his death. She pulled away and came back to reality, the hybrids were groaning and cracking their necks into place while Stefan was silently whimpering at her because her wound had yet to heal. It stung, but after surviving Crucios and basilisk venom, almost nothing phased her anymore. She asked two of the hybrids if they could take Damon back to the mansion and inform everyone that the town had been compromised and that there would need to be a meeting as soon as they all got home. She had to make the hybrids promise not to let anyone kill Damon once they explained the situation of why Stefan had nearly killed him. There was grumbling but they promised. She turned to Stefan and nearly shrieked when he bit his wrist, but her worrying was halted when it was offered to her, she tends to forget that vampires can heal others with their blood.

She cringed a bit at the taste, blood no longer was appetizing to her since the twins had been born. She could feel her body healing the wound and saw that there was now a faint scar where the bite marks had once been. She allowed him to carry her bridal style back to the mansion, with the hybrids tailing them. As soon as they had reached the front lawn, the door slammed open, and the immortal couple was smothered in fretting family members and could barely answer any of the questions thrown at them. It soon became overwhelming, and Stefan bared his fangs at his siblings silently to tell them to back off and wait a bit. Hailey glared at them so that everyone could eventually calm down. She saw from the corner of her eye that the hybrids had put Damon in the dungeons, Remus scrunched his nose a bit at that, as the dungeon had been his to transform every month. He mumbled about it needing a deep cleaning after Damon was gone to remove his scent. His wolf had grown accustomed to the others but Moony tended to howl and growl all night if he picked up the scent of an enemy nearby.

The magicals were very tense once the hybrids showed up with a bloody Damon and told them that Mystic Falls was compromised. They asked hurriedly where Hailey and Stefan were and calmed a bit at hearing that they were already on the way home. A huge sigh of relief when not ten seconds later the couple had arrived. They wanted to know everything immediately, but once Stefan had bared his fangs, the Mickaelsons knew that their brother was on the edge of going feral again. They stepped off with the magicals following soon after, they smelled blood and Moony looked close to coming out when he recognized that it was Hailey's blood. "Everyone shut it and please listen." from how tense Hailey was, everyone was quick to fall in line. "We've been compromised. I don't know how, but a very unsavory bloke from back home seems to have followed us to Mystic Falls. I don't know how much he knows, but he likely knows about Stefan being my mate and about the boys since we hadn't felt the need to hide it. To make matters worse, he seems to be using Unforgivables on the muggles in town, or at least he's been using the supernatural as some pawns. Today, while we were out, we had a run-in with Damon, but he seemed content to sulk at the bar and glare at us; once we left the building, he must have followed us as soon as we were in the parking lot. Damon had started snapping necks. He bit me, and of course, Stefan retaliated. But my magic had been stirring, so I let it feel around, and it led me to look at Damon, he had been put under Imperio, the spell that takes away your free will and forces you to be a mere puppet to the caster, I had to check his memories to be sure, but it seemed Lucious Malfoy was planning to get rid of Stefan somehow and get me under his boot. But that's not all. It seems dear Lucy has made friends, he was with a blonde woman I did not recognize. I'd thought to share the memory with the rest of you to see if anyone could identify her."

She tapped her temple with her hand and used her left hand to conjure a vial with wandless magic to place the silver wisp into it. She asked Ron to go and fetch the pensieve. Everyone who didn't have magic was confused about what was a pensieve and how it would help see a memory. Ron came back levitating a very large basin on a pedestal that was silver decorated with gold etchings, he placed it in the middle of the drawing room. Hailey came up to it and poured the vial into the basin. She beckoned everyone forward, and soon, they were all enveloped and dragged into the basin. It seemed as if they were there in person at the Grill just a few hours ago, they appeared behind Damon, who was nursing a bottle of bourbon and was scowling at the door as Stefan and Hailey had walked out with their guards. They expected him to rush after them in anger, but he just sat and continued to drink then they heard the door opening. It seemed Damon noticed as well but didn't acknowledge the new people. But the others turned to see who they were, and the Mickealsons froze. It wasn't possible; Nik had killed her over a thousand years ago, and Finn turned over a new leaf and decided not to be their mother's pawn and not resurrect her. How was she walking around Mystic Falls? After noticing that they had recognized the woman, Hailey soon pulled them all out of the memory.

She looked at the Originals with a questioning look as they gathered themselves again. She looked to Stefan, but he seemed as befuddled as the rest of them about who that lady was. However, when he noticed her gaze on him, he stepped closer to her and held her hand, needing some skin-to-skin contact to help relax a bit. They smiled tentatively at each other a silent 'sorry' for the night ending on such a sour note.

They were startled out of their little world when Elijah cleared his throat to bring attention to himself. " It seems that the threat has just become larger by multiple times, that woman was our mother, the Original Witch, the same witch that created the vampire race.", he spoke in a very grim tone. Finn spoke up next. He knew what his mother's endgame was, it would be disastrous if she were able to accomplish it.

''From what she used to rave and preach in the afterlife was how we were abominations, her creations that deserved to die as recompense to once again stabilize nature. However, she had found out how to give waste to our entire species. She found that once an Original was slain, every vampire from our sire line would also die, killing an infection at the root, as she used to call it." the silence that followed his statement was deafening, and thousands would be lost. They wouldn't allow it, a fire was rekindled in the hearts of the wand users, which had dwindled down at the war's end. They refuse just to lay down and play dead, they took down one genocidal maniac before what was one more?

"Well, I don't know about you lot, but I think we should put your mom back into her dirt nap. Leave it to some bitter witch to believe nature requires mortals to help balance itself, listen, I refuse to allow some delusional Bint to be the end to our new family. Get packing people, we need to relocate. We are officially no longer safe to continue residing here. Tonks, go to MACUSA and see if they can provide emergency lodging, Remus go with her and report Lucius, if he's here who knows who followed him to get to me, Hermione, Ron, I need you guys to start packing everything up and remove our presence from the house. Klaus, I need you and everyone else to pack up everything important to them and come back here as soon as possible. Stefan, get the boys and prepare a bag for them. There should be a big brown leather duffel bag under our bed. Grab it and put whatever you think we need from our room. It has an extension charm, so it'll fit a lot. I'll get the thestral herd and get them packed and ready.", by that she meant she would get a large briefcase and charm it to be massively extended on the inside, and probably would have to transfigure the dresser and bedpost into a platform to set up a stable and barn in it, as well as move the very large freezer into it and charm it to self-distribute to feed the herd on time, thestrals need their raw meat. Everyone moved, quickly apparating and speeding away. She could feel in the wards that Ron and Hermione were in the library, and she couldn't hold back a snort at that.

She and Stefan made their way upstairs where the hybrids in charge of them for an hour handed the boys to their parents. She quickly got to work on dismantling their bed and transfiguring it, as well as finding the briefcase that she had stashed away in the closet. She never noticed Stefan, while doing his task, seemed very distracted and his eyes were constantly shifting between her and the boys. When she was about to step out of their room, Stefan had latched onto her waist. It startled her but then she realized that Stefan had not said anything the entire time they were packing up. “Stefan?” she asked with trepidation. He had been very quiet on the way back home, and she was beginning to worry. “Are you okay, love?”, she relaxed into him and put her arms around his waist, mindful of the fact that the twins were sleeping. He tried to relax into her as well but at the last moment, he remained stiff. He looked over her, especially over the shoulder his brother had harmed. He healed her, and there wasn’t a scar left to the naked eye, but to a vampire's vision, there was a faint marking of fangs…it made his blood boil. Stefan was still running on instincts when he answered her.

“No…I’m the only one allowed to bite you…to leave my mark. Please just…let me fix what my brother tainted.”, it was driving him crazy. Blood was sacred to vampires it was their life source. For Damon to drink from his mate is beyond sacrilege. He had wanted to wait a bit before taking the next step in their relationship but with Damon having Hailey's blood in his system it just made his vampire extremely uneasy. They had drunk each other's blood before but never in the proper way of creating the bond. For mates 'blood sharing' was intense, it is said to be the final ritual to have between mates and causes them to be bound forever to each other, it was a ritual of pure love to deepen their understanding of each other's feelings. It symbolizes trust and care between individuals. He had heard from Nik that there was once a pair that had completed the bond and could have known what the other was thinking or going to say without even looking at each other. But with something always coming up and trying to be there for every single moment of the boys' lives, it always seemed like a bad time to bring it up. He tried to explain to his wife what he meant by 'fixing' and hoped she could understand.

In all honesty since Damon had bit her, she felt off. It was like she was in dire need of a deep cleansing charm on herself, and she had no clue why. But with Stefan’s answer, it started to make sense, she felt tainted, and the only way to get ‘cleansed’ was to have Stefan fix it. She nodded to him and let him lead her to their mattress on the floor. She sat down on it and waited as Stefan had nuzzled the boys and put them to sleep in their crib. She got the gist of what they had to do for the ritual. She felt her heartbeat so loudly in her ears and she knew Stefan could hear it just as well, especially if the smirk he was wearing said anything. He pulled her into a hug in which she finally felt him relax. He pulled them up against the wall, with his back on the wall and hers on his chest. They sat there sedated by each other's presence when she started to feel Stefan move her hair away from her neck and kiss her pulse point. She shivered from the contact but did not move away, she felt him pull something out of his pocket and into her hand. It was her dagger that she used for rituals. He looked into her eyes and wordlessly offered up his wrist. She unsheathed the blade and cut his arm, he never once winced or looked away from her. As she grabbed his wrist and brought it towards her, he did the same with hers. She barely winced once he sunk his teeth in and then proceeded to drink from her husband. In a near instant, she felt everything he felt and thought everything he was thinking. The desperate need to protect his family, his never-ending love for their sons, his love for her, the fragile hope in his brother, and the hidden need to make amends with Damon. And in return, he felt all of her. Her love for him, for their family, the strong protective feelings she has for everyone special to her, and her fear of losing everything she fought so hard to protect. After finishing they just sat silently with each other until the boys started crying and Hailey went to grab them. When she came back and sat with Stefan, they simply looked at each other no longer needing words to express anything just each other. They must have been staring at each other longer than they thought because they started to receive texts from everyone saying they were ready to go. They scrambled up as fast as they could with the boys suspiciously giggling at them the entire time. Stefan had started speeding around the room and Hailey had taken the boys with her while levitating the suitcase behind her downstairs.

She stopped at the bottom as everyone was there and looked shocked that she wasn't ready. She was getting some knowing looks from her in-laws but she ignored them in favor of giving them the boys and running off to herd the thestrals into her suitcase. Thankfully she had already put everything else in and she just needed her herd. They seemed to pick up that they were leaving and met her at the opening and waited for her to put the suitcase down. "Alright everyone, single file please, and no pushing we gotta go!" she watched them impatiently, but they were making good progress all things considered. Once the last thestral was in she closed up and was about to head inside when she heard a distinct bird screech. She looked up and saw an eagle landing on a wooden post near the door and putting its leg out to her. She took it and looked it over; it was from Remus, and he was using a MACUSA owl to let her know that they all needed to head towards the official building as it seemed the Ministry of Magic had pulled out an ancient law that she must abide by. No doubt a last-ditch effort to buy time to find something to refute the abolishment of the laws her family had been able to do and is almost done with. In order to finally get rid of the law that prohibits the existence of her children she would need to be there in person as the Lady of her houses. She scowled but she had a determined look in her eye as she marched back into the house to tell everyone the news.

While Hailey and Stefan were busy trying to scamper everything together a certain Original had gone down in the dungeon to check on Damon. Damon was barely waking up when he saw a pair of legs walk up to him. "I believe its time we've had a chat Mr. Salvatore"

Chapter 13

Immoral Dilemmas

Hermione had been the one to suggest getting phones as a way to contact and pinpoint each other when magic wasn’t an option. The ones with capability to talk had gotten the same kind of phone with different colored cases. Hailey had black, Hermione had blue, Ron had red, Moony went with amber yellow, and Tonks went with pink. Before leaving everyone made it clear to her that they wanted her to check in if any new occurrences happened. With Damon cornering her, her reunion with Stefan, and her having to separate the fight, she hadn’t any time to check in or think about checking in with Moony and everyone else. Despite him yelling out her name when she picked up his call she could also her the relief in his voice. She felt guilty for making them worried. The vampires were confused as to why someone was yelling at her and almost caused Stefan to take the phone from her to snarl at whoever was on the other side of the phone. He was placated when Hailey threw him a sheepish smile to him.

“WE WERE ALL WORRIED! WHAT HAPPENED?! YOU WERE JUST SUPPOSED TO TAKE A LOOK AROUND!! AND NOW I HEAR ALL THESE RUMORS ABOUT YOU HAVING TO STOP A FIGHT?!?! WERE ARE YOU AND THE TWINS?! I SWEAR IF SOME HOOLIGAN-“, rightfully mortified and embarrassed she cut off her uncle’s fretting, even without enhanced hearing there would be no way that the other occupants in the room didn’t here the worried werewolf. Klaus and Rebekah had an amused face on from hearing how overprotective the caller sound but they were confused as to who it is as they were not informed of Hailey’s family. Stefan had a troubled face on, he was worried that he had already made a bad impression on his mates family by not being there during Hailey’s pregnancy and then with all the rumors around there was no doubt in his mind that they saw him in a bad light. Hailey without noticing Stefan’s face had leaned her head on his shoulder to calm herself down and unknowingly calming her mate down as well.

“Moony! I’m sorry that I didn’t check in but so much happened and I can’t exactly say it over a call. I’ll be back soon and I won’t be alone, please make sure everyone is there.”, she knew that this was news you can’t just spout off over the phone, not to mention with how her uncle was reacting it was best to do it in person. She was mainly worried about how he would react to Stefan. The twins are only half and so far he hasn’t reacted negatively to them but Stefan was a nearly two hundred years old full vampire. He already knew her mate is a vampire but sometimes instinct doesn’t correspond to common sense. She needed to introduce Stefan to her family in a gentle manner, less having to deal with another supernatural brawl. One thing was for certain she will not have her uncle and husband at each other’s throats! While hardening her resolve Stefan tensed up, meeting the family of the girl you love was enough to make any guy anxiety ridden.

“Pup…what’s happened, is anything wrong?!”, Remus was understandably worried the last few months have been shock after shock. He already had grey hairs from the stress of the war and from the twins being born. He had fainted when Tonks told him she was expecting and again at all the babies being born. He wasn’t sure if he would survive another shock. The news of Hailey getting unknowingly married nearly send him into cardiac arrest!

“No, Moony. It’s just that…this is something that everyone needs to hear in person.”, oh sweet merciful Merlin! This had to be payback from all the mischief he had done in school. He could just hear Sirius and James laughing at him from the grave over how much he was fretting. What kind of news would make Hailey want to say it in person. It didn’t help that Tonks and Teddy were laughing and giggling at his expressions over the phone call. He threw his wife a narrowed look and softly scowled at her when she feigned innocence. It didn’t help that Teddy just giggled harder at the interaction. Hailey could hear Teddy and smiled softly, Stefan could as well and imagined what it would be like when the boys would start? They arranged to be at the mansion with Ron and Hermione after Remus got wind of Hailey not having eaten. He will not have her going all over the place on an empty stomach.

At being reminded to eat, Hailey promptly asked Klaus if she could use the kitchen. Klaus had first rejected and offered to have his hybrids make something for her, but she was adamant. He couldn’t very well win the argument so he relented. Stefan had smiled at the domestic argument and beamed when Hailey had told him to hold the boys while she made the food. Soon after he had the boys strapped to his chest and bouncing them them to see the faint smiles on their faces with the Originals trailing after him, hoping to hold the babies again. While Hailey was with Stefan momentarily Klaus had talked to his hybrids and told them to leave Hailey be unless she asked and to not do anything that could expose them. He wasn’t sure if Stefan had told her yet. Back in the kitchen, the hybrids were confused to see a teen girl bouncing around the kitchen but Klaus had ordered them to leave her be. They were okay with being under Klaus, as long as they didn’t betray him they were under his protection.

Tyler was among them and he had broken up with Caroline in order to show his loyalty to the pack, Klaus didn’t endanger their lives every few months. A certain doppelgänger can’t say the same with her family and friends. Even without the sire bond the wolves genuinely feel that Klaus has earned their loyalty, they just feel a little intimidated to actually show it. Klaus was the alpha and had given them the option of not having to go through the transformation every full moon. Non werewolves would never be able to understand how much that means. With how the curse is triggered, it would usually have happened after a tragic accident that already leaves survivor’s feeling guilty to so much more dread. Car crashes, not being fast enough to stop an occurrence, preservation instincts, and just total accidents is how most of the pack triggered the curse. What matters the most to the pack is that the pain is finally gone and loyalty. Klaus has been very adamant that they be careful and protected, he didn’t just want an army he wanted his own family. Tyler was siding with Klaus not just because of the bond but because he’s seen how easily anyone who isn’t just blaring “Team Elena GO!”, is just thrown away by her and her groupies.

His uncle, a guy who used to babysit Tyler and all his childhood friends, a guy Elena knew of her entire life, a guy that was just being manipulated, and wasn’t even considered to be explain to what was really happening. His uncle had been brutally killed by Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert didn’t even bat an eye or bother to inform him, he had to learn from Caroline. Another point: Caroline Forbes, Elena’s long time childhood best friend. Elena knew about how Damon was just using Caroline for blood, information, and sex and yet she was still falling in love with him. Caroline was just staying on Elena’s side for loyalty and for that he could respect but she was giving it to the wrong person. Elena only ever thought about what made her happy, must be that Petrova blood. He cared for Caroline , a lot but he knew that they were better as friends. He’s heard and seen how Klaus ‘fancied’ her and was now contemplating on telling him of Damon’s actions. It’s what he was thinking after seeing Klaus’s recent behaviors with the younger Salvatore before his attention was snapped to the ebony haired girl.

What she was making smelled divine and had their inner wolves wagging their tails. She had enjoyed cooking, it would have been loved if not for her relatives. Though when she was making the steak she could see that the people around her were practically drooling. She couldn’t help but ask if they were hungry, they looked equivalent to children who were caught red handed and no one answered until a young man walked up and nodded. He looked around her age and had a minor blush on his face when his stomach had made itself known along with his pack. “Well, I’d be happy to cook up a meal for everyone but I’ll need some help if you lot don’t mind?”, the hybrid pack and Tyler looked between each other and back to Hailey. They all nodded sheepishly and were quickly put to work by the small teen, something in her just compelled them to following her orders. They were divided into four groups. Group one were put to chop up and boil the potatoes to make mashed potatoes. Group two were to chop up vegetables and add seasoning for the salad. Group three, that had Tyler and Hailey, were to make a lot more steak along with a lot of beef. And finally, group four was in charge of baking dessert. The whole time they were joking around, smiles on their faces, and learning more about the new girl. They were hungry hybrids, along with her, three vampires, and her family coming they had enough prepared to feed an army.

The scene the vampires and babies walked in on was nothing short of shocking. They had been trailing Stefan and begging to hold the boys again but he was stubborn and wanted to keep them to himself for a little while longer. Then they had walked in the kitchen to check on Hailey and instead saw her setting up a feast with the hybrids on the very large dining table. All were in smiles and following her word without questioning her. Klaus hadn’t ordered them to do that. It was as if a huge family had taken over the kitchen. And at the center of it all was Hailey Potter. The vampires couldn’t help but marvel at how she easily was handling the pack and how the pack was showing a large amount of respect and awe that was usually reserved for Klaus.

Klaus had cleared his throat and everything halted. He and the others raised an eyebrow. If anything he was slightly envious that the young girl was able to to garner support from his pack. She smiled at them and walked up to Stefan who was still holding the boys. The hybrids were wondering why the younger Salvatore had babies with him. She shocked the hybrids by pecking a besotted Stefan on the lips and kissed the babies foreheads. She looked to the group of vampires and had a sheepish smirk, “Hungry?”, she dipped her finger in some mashed potatoes and proceeded to suck on it innocently.

Stefan’s eyes had darkened with lust at seeing her finger enter and exit her mouth but he shook his head. He couldn’t and wouldn’t do anything until he knew she was ready and healed. She had just given birth and he didn’t know much about childbirth or the female body but he knew that she needed some well deserved rest. They all moved to the very large table and most of everyone was trying to scramble for a seat near Hailey when the doorbell rang. Klaus had nodded to a hybrid to go answer the door, he was half expecting the mystic falls gang to have showed up and was surprised to see new people. He figured they must be Hailey’s family when she went to go greet them. The eldest man had pulled her into a worried hug while the not-so-much older woman looked on in slight amusement with an a year old child with a little sun hat on. There were two others a boy and girl who were the same age as Hailey looking over her then looking over the room. They all possessed eyes that were as haunted as the many soldiers he had seen returned from battle. However a familiar smell had caused him and the hybrids to tense up.

Stefan stood in order to greet Hailey’s family when the hug ended but promptly froze in place when he noticed that her uncle was staring at him with amber eyes. He’d almost forgotten, Uncle Moony is a werewolf. While vampires don’t really react to their presence, wolves definitely do. When her uncle noticed that he was still holding the boys, he started to growl at this Stefan was ready to hiss and clutch the boys close to him, Klaus and his hybrids were close to growling to show dominance. Moony was only able to come out some because of how close the full moon was and because of the threat of a vampire near his pack. He stopped when Hailey decided to step in between them. He (along with the rest of the room) was having a minor anxiety attack at her putting herself in harms way and was ready to rush over when she started speaking in a very soft voice.

“Easy Moony. Look at me.”, she was gesturing over her figure and Moony was tracking her every move. “I’m fine, okay? Everything is fine. He isn’t a threat, he’s protecting the boys and he protected me today. Moony, I need Remus back.”, he growled low at this still glaring at Stefan. He has become protective of what Remus has started to see as family, they were lack now.“Moony! He is mine just as I’m his. Please, he’s important to me and I need to show that to Remus too. I promise, no one in your pack is in danger, okay?”, only at this Moony bowed his head in submission and Remus came back. Hailey walked up to him, ignoring the tense atmosphere of the room, grabbed his shoulders and turned him slightly to Stefan. Both men had a befuddled face on but she continued with, “Uncle Remus, Tonks, Teddy-bear, Ron, and Hermione I’d like to introduce you to my mate, husband, and father of my children, Stefan Salvatore. Stefan I’d like you to meet ‘some’ of my family.”, almost in sync the room had stared and blinked at her. The silence was broken when a snort had broken free from Ron.

In breathless laughter, “Really sis, we need to work on your introductions.”, Ron said.

“I just figured it’s better to get it out…I already know everything about them!”,she said in a pout. Stefan had walked up to her chuckling in near exasperation and proceeded to nuzzle her neck to calm himself a bit. This caused the hybrids to break out of their stupor, why was she saying a vampire was her babies father? If it was before he was turned it would have been believable but Stefan was almost two hundred years old. A braver hybrid had stepped up to question her, Tyler.

“If you know everything than you know it’s not possible for Salvatore to be the father, right?”, he said in some trepidation. He liked the new girl, he hoped that he didn’t make the wrong assumption about her character.

“If I was anyone else it wouldn’t be. But unfortunately I’m the fates favorite chew toy. You see I’m not normal, just like how everyone else isn’t either.”, she might as well tell them now. Stefan said that Klaus and Rebekah stepped up to be his family and she didn’t want to have secrets between them. She learned from the war that secrets were unnecessary and just caused pain in the end. Everyone just raised an eyebrow at her and Stefan, expecting some more explaining. Ron and the others started to help themselves at the table. “You see I’m a witch, everyone in my family hear is a witch or wizard. But we’re different than the ones you’re used to. We refer to your kind as supernaturals and your witches as wiccans.”, still seeing some doubt on Klaus and Rebekah she retrieved her elder wand from her holster. She looked to Stefan who looked confused at her wand, “I never did show you how we were different.”

She saw that her family was ready to see her display as well, they wanted to see how well her magic was doing after the twins being born. She looked to Tyler who had a unimpressed look on his face. “Brace yourself puppy. EXPECTO PATRONUM!”, and just like that the room was filled with a sparkling light, out of the tip of Hailey’s wand emerged a stag. It was a very impressive sight as the stag had emerged walking calmly with a kingly like aura. It then jumped onto an invisible floor that was just above Tyler’s head that caused him to yelp. It trounced on midair before going back to Hailey and bowing its head to her feet and disappearing.

“Just so you know while not being as impressive as her we can all do that as well. Hailey is considered to be the most powerful witch but one thing is for sure we are not the same as the wiccans you have encountered.”, Hermione felt the need, as always to explain, she smacked Ron on the arm when he started to chuckle. He rolled his eyes fondly at her. “We are also not the only ones. There is a whole society of us that are hidden from what we consider the muggle or no-maj world.”, she added after another second of silence. It was finally broken by a hysterical Klaus.

“WHAT THE BLOODY HELL JUST HAPPENED?!?!”, great. Stefan’s turn to deal with a slightly emotional supernatural creature.

Chapter 6

Immortal Dilemmas

*Hailey Potter*

Once they were able to revive Ron, Hermione had to talk him down from trying to hunt down Stefan. She had to remind him Stefan is a vampire and probably wouldn’t take kindly to someone trying to give him the shovel talk. He begrudgingly agreed, muggle vampires were a lot stronger and faster than magical ones. There was even a rumor that they can control minds. He sat back down and looked towards Hailey, who was holding a hand to her stomach and lost to thought. He was worried for his sister, there hasn’t been a vampire born child in ninety years. The ministry had banned vampires and witches from producing more, they were going to have to add that to the list of what to fix.

“Hailey, other than the family and a few people you cannot tell anyone about this. The ministry already is in fear of you rising in power if they catch wind of this they’ll paint you as a Dark Lady.”, the ministry would not hesitate to take something that made Hailey happy to turn everyone against her.

“He’s right Hailey until we can fix and dig out corruption in the ministry you have to keep everything under wraps. The Daily Prophet, no doubt would also judge you for being so young and already becoming a mother without being married.”, the wizarding world is still in the dark times so while her age is a minor issue it was more to do with her not being married and producing an illegitimate heir that would inherit a massive fortune and the titles of the most powerful families. So they immediately started planning, Hailey was not going to put her child at risk. Phase one, was to tell the family about …everything. Phase two, take Hailey to Hogwarts to see Madam Pomfrey. Phase three, do more research and find information about half vampire children that could come in handy. It’s a vague plan but with Hailey in the equation it’s best to not have a detailed plan. She didn’t feel comfortable with the glamour constantly on. So she borrowed Hermione’s pallet of the twins makeup products that could hide marks on the skin pretty well.

“Hailey…I want you to know that no matter what happens with everyone downstairs Ron and I will have your back, we always will.”, they’ve had their ups and downs but it has always felt it was the three of them against the world. But maybe after the conversation downstairs it can hopefully grow into their family against the world. With it settled the trio hesitantly made their way back down to everyone in terse silence. It looked like everyone had decided to wait for them downstairs, and fill the living room with idle chatter. Remus and Tonks had came when the trio was still having their discussion. They had little Teddy with them, seeing him made Hailey wonder about her own child. Would they be a boy or a girl, would they take after her or Stefan more? A poke to her arm brought her out of her thoughts. Since the war had barely ended, everyone was still tense but if she didn’t do it now she knew she’d never be able to later. She cleared her throat and the chatter quickly ceased, a habit that everyone in the order developed. She took quick glances around the room, everyone was either sitting down or leaning on something and all were staring at her waiting for whatever she has to say. Though Remus’ gaze seemed a little more intense than the others, like he was trying to figure out a puzzle. Hailey remembered that while Remus was in his human stage he still had some senses from Moony. She realized that he may be able to smell Stefan on her… and maybe even the pregnancy. She needed to say everything before he blurts something out in shock…or anger. She took a deep breath.

“Everyone in this room has my upmost trust but…the information that I’m going to tell you is too important to be risked, I know that we’ve just gone through hell but this is me asking you as my family…to swear on your life and magic for this.”, gasps travelled through the room, even in the war Hailey hadn’t ask them to make a magical oath. She had said any information they had was not worth their lives, it was better for no one to know anything than have to take drastic action. Whatever she was going to tell them must mean more to her than the world. One by one everyone stood and raised their wands to their chest.

“I vow on my life and magic, that whatever Hailey Potter tells me will not be repeated to anyone not in this room or without her permission. So I say it so mote it be!”, Hailey had said and everyone recited her words. With the oath done she let out a breath of relief, that was one less thing to worry about.

“Now as you all know during the battle Vol-Tom had battled me. What you don’t know is that the wand that he was using had used to belong to the Headmaster. Tom had thought that with him killing Snape, he would come to own the wand. He was wrong. While Snape had done the killing blow it was Draco that disarmed Dumbledore.”, everyone had shocked and stunned faces besides the trio. Molly had noticed that Ron and Hermione weren’t shocked at the news. While everyone else was treated as soldiers, the trio had to become teen generals, they had more information about how the war went than anyone. Molly felt intense sorrow that her children, blood or not, had to go through a war and carry such a burden.

“At Malloy Manor when we were taken, we had ran into Draco. Seeing as he lied when he was asked to identify me, I did him a solid and just disarmed and petrified him. With me disarming him the wand had recognized that Draco was defeated even though he wasn’t using it. The wand became mine. When I was fighting Tom the wand had recognized me. It would not harm it’s master. After the battle I had planned to just snap it, it was too powerful to have in this world. But…it came back to me, good as new.”, everyone,excluding the trio, had gone stiff…there was only one wand that could have that much power but it wasn’t supposed to be real. Ignoring the stiff stances she continued.

“When I had disarmed Draco…I had unknowingly started the course of a prophecy. One that was so old I doubt that it was in the Department of Mysteries. It had stated that a descendant of the last brother would one day come into possession of all the Deathly Hallows making them the Master of Death, unable to be claimed by Death until Death deemed them ready…what people don’t realize is that if you go far enough into the Potter family history, you’ll find that a Iolanthe Peverell had married into the family. I had inherited the cloak from my father, I had obtained the wand from Draco,…and I had gotten the stone from Voldemort.”,Hailey stopped herself from saying the rest of the prophecy. She needed to gauge everyone’s reaction to her new title before saying anything else. She almost flinched when Molly had drew her into a hug and everyone had either joined in or was standing in a very close circle around her. She was startled when sh heard muffled crying. Molly was crying into her shoulder and everyone else was either trying to hold back their tears or hold back the curses that they wanted to throw at the world in anger at the unfairness. All Hailey had ever wanted was to be happy and settle down. How could fate be so cruel to her?

But Hailey was relieved at their reactions. At least no one looked afraid of her, it was more like they were afraid for her. While she was taking in the reactions she was pulled into a bear hug by Remus who had finally calmed down enough to go and hug her. But then, Remus took a big breath in through his nose. Both him and Hailey stiffened in realization. Before the battle he had been able to drag her into a hug, she had smelled of innocence and of floral fragrances. But now…while she still had her floral fragrance, her…innocence…was…GONE!?!? It was replaced by a musky woodsy scent and another scent that had smelled familiar but before he could place it Hailey put a firm hand on his forearm. He looked to her and was going to start sprouting off about ‘where the hell was the guy?’ and ‘what in the world happened last night?’ but a stern look from stopped him. He would respect her demand to wait, but they will be having the conversation. Once he was seated like everyone else, he had casted a quick look towards his wife and son. Ron and Hermione flanked her, showcasing the image of them readying to step in front of her if necessary. Everyone grew worried as Hailey started to speak again, what else has happened?

“When I found out we were in the library, I had freaked out and panicked. My magic reacted to it and accidentally apparated me. When I landed, I was in Oregon, America near a small town. I thought I could use some time alone to think about everything. I was wandering for a while before a guy had pulled up to me in his car asking if I needed a ride.”, she was met with several ‘you should know better’ looks. She just rolled her eyes. Stefan was impulsive but he didn’t intend hurt her. Thinking of him made her heart yearn and she had to continue before she got lost in remembering him.

“In order to break the silence we started talking and really connected on an emotional level. We got into some heavy topics about our past. So in order to help us get distracted he offered to go drinking-“ before she could continue all the guys had started spewing curses and yelling out questions about this ‘guy’. She just cleared her throat again and continued.

“We talked some more. But soon enough we had left the bar. I really like Stefan, he was pretty cute and I had some liquid courage…I kissed him.”, the females of the room had started to squeal and demand Hailey that she had to tell them more later. She started to get irritated when she overheard about how brutal Fed and George were planning to prank Stefan.

“Leave him alone! I had made the first move, you can’t do anything when I initiated it.”, they were quick to stop…for now.

“Now what I’m about to say, I need you all to not freak out. There is more to the prophecy then me becoming the Master of Death. It had stated that with me and a creature of death…we would be able to…produce…the Heir of Death.”, it was so quiet that she could have heard a pin drop, she just needed to rush through and get it done.

“Last night, Stefan and I…we had…sex. You see turns out Stefan is a muggle vampire, making him a creature of death. And with me as the Master and him the Creature we were able to make the Heir!”, she said with haste in her last sentence. She waited until she felt Hermione and Ron pull her behind them. The explosion she was expecting had finally blew. Though she was expecting Ms.Weasley to start shrieking, she was surprised to find Remus to be louder.

“HAILEY JAMIE POTTER!! ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU ARE PREGNANT WITH A RANDOM VAMPIRE’S CHILD?!?”, Remus was infuriated. Teddy had started to cry but he was quickly calmed down by Tonks. That’s what that other smell was! He had thought it was familiar, he had smelled it on Tonks for months, the smell of pregnancy. It was one thing that she had slept with a vampire, it was her choice on who she sleeps with and he didn’t have any say on the matter. He didn’t care that it was a vampire as long as they were both consensual and safe. Apparently being safe didn’t cross their mind! However, being pregnant with a half-ling was a sure way of having the ministry put a bounty on her head. Hailey was mad at him saying Stefan was a ‘random’ vampire. She nudged at Hermione to let her pass then stomped towards Remus with a angry scowl on her face.

“He’s not just some random vampire Remus! You don’t know what he’s had to live through! I love him Remus, it just so happens that our love lead to OUR child! OURS, it’s not just his child it’s mine too! I know it’s dangerous but this could be my only chance of doing my dream! Let me tell you the ministry can try but they will NEVER lay a hand on my child!”, her chest was heaving. She had frustrated tears in her eyes. At seeing Hailey about to cry, Remus started to panic. He did what he did to her when she would cry as a baby. He went over to her, hugged her gently, and started patting her back in a rhythm. She was tense but it was slowly melting away. Remus finally spoke.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that he didn’t mean anything to you. I’m just worried for you cub. If the ministry find out they’ll have a field day with this. But I want you to know that whatever you choose to do I’ll do my best to help and support you.”, he had said it in a soft tone, the same one when he talked to her as a baby. Hailey had pulled back slightly and had a gentle smile on her face. She then turned to everyone and saw that their expression matched hers. She walked back to Ron and Hermione.

“I plan on having and raising my baby. Also once they are born, until the whole ministry mess is clear, I’ll move to the muggle world to raise my baby. But until then, I’m going to need my family’s help to make sure that my baby makes it to the world and that the ministry is left clueless.”, they all nodded along with tentative smiles. This is Hailey’s chance a pure happiness, after everything she’s done for them, they were gonna do their best for her baby. But the twins being who they are were quickly tired of the mushy atmosphere and had mischievous smirks as they threw a question at Hailey that everyone wanted answered.

“Soo, Hailikkins, what exactly about this Stefan that makes you looooove him?”, Fred had asked with a cheeky smile. Her face grew warm and before she could say anything, George spoke up.

“And do tell why I notice our signature makeup covering your neck?”, George could notice cause after a while the makeup would develop a shine to it. While not exposing what the user was hiding, it still brought attention to the applied area. It was a work in progress

“Well? We’re waiting.”, the twins said at the same time. Their stares filled with mischief and chaos.

“Umm…”, she was bright red and actively avoiding everyone’s gazes. Why couldn’t Stefan be here to share this embarrassment?!

Chapter 3 of

Immortal Dilemmas

Thanks to Stefan using compulsion they weren’t asked for an ID to rent out a room for the night to see if they were adults. Hailey just brushed it off as her mind was clouded with desire. The desk clerk had been eyeing Stefan with lust which made her seethe and glare at her but also made her realize that Stefan is a very sought out guy. He probably has a decent amount of experience, unlike her. The most she had done with a boy before Stefan was hold hands and a peck on the cheek. She had never done anything like this before. She was worried that she would let Stefan down with her lack of experience.

While they were waiting for their key to the room Stefan picked up her irregular heartbeat and it showed that she was nervous and anxious. He turned to look at her and saw that she was biting her bottom in worry. He doesn’t like seeing her anxious, from what he could gather from what she has told him she has done enough of that in her life. He has completely stopped caring that his humanity was back on and that he had started feeling emotions since he met Hailey. With his brother he would have forced Stefan to turn it on again through torture; pain, anger, and just generally any negative emotion but with Hailey she was able to do it without trying. She was able to make him turn it on by overloading him with positive emotions; happiness, comfort, and… dare he think it love. With how she has made him feel this night, he wants to appease in any way he can.

“What’s wrong? Are you having second thoughts because, it’s okay if you are we can leave-“, he wanted to ensure her that she doesn’t need to do this and they could just leave and walk around to talk some more. He didn’t get to finish comforting her as she had silenced him in the best way, she had pulled him into a heated kiss to ensure him that she definitely wasn’t having second thoughts. She was the one to break the kiss though he desperately didn’t want to he had to pull back a little to get a clear head to hear what she wanted to say.

“I’m not having second thoughts, it’s just I’ve never done this and I’m worried that I won’t be able to satisfy you-“, and now it was her turn to be silenced by a kiss, but this one was more chaste and filled with comfort and understanding.

“Hey, you don’t need to worry about that. Trust me, with you there is no way I could be left unsatisfied.”, he said the last part a bit mischievously with an adorable smirk. Hailey is so beautiful, every part of her is effortlessly seductive to his eyes. When she was biting her lip earlier he had to hold himself back from ravaging her.

“Are you sure you aren’t put off by the fact that I’m a virgin and have no experience?”, she has had boys offer before but they were only trying to use her and it didn’t feel right to even think about kissing a boy before Stefan.

“The only thing that puts me off is the fact that boys from where your from didn’t try harder to be with you that and they probably didn’t have any decent taste if they gave up on you.” and he’s actually secretly glad that those boys gave up. He wanted to be the one who touches her first. Thinking about some guy touching her first fills him with anger, jealousy, and possessiveness. He hadn’t expected such a big reaction from his vampire on the thought alone of some guy touching her, he had to use every ounce of his self control to calm it down. He broke the kiss and leaned down to press their foreheads together and didn’t think when he spoke.

“Hailey if anything it actually makes me… glad that I’ll be the first one to do this with you. At least this way I hope I’ll be able to keep you from experiencing a trashy first time.”, he was worried that he would seem weird and he tensed up when Hailey looked up with with widened eyes into his, as if searching his very soul when she found it she smiled and pulled him into a hug. She pressed her head to the center of his chest and he put his arms around her waist and pressed his cheek on top of her head.

“Thank you Stefan. I still want to, if I’m being honest with myself I can probably only trust you with doing this. So please, let do this.”, she said with conviction. They broke apart from the hug a bit to look at each other and shared a smile and just as they were going to share another kiss the desk clerk came back with their key. Stefan took it without paying attention to the clerk’s obvious pining and held Hailey’s hand to lead her to the elevators. Stefan felt like he needed some sort of skin contact with Hailey, he hasn’t been able to keep his hands off her. Once they got on Stefan had once again pulled her into his arms to reclaim her lips Hailey had quickly pushed their floor button before they could get lost in each other. Stefan had a hand caressing her cheek and his arm wrapped around her waist. Hailey had her hand on his nape and her arm around his waist. Neither felt the bond between them turn more tangible and stronger just from their exchange kisses all they felt was their passion and desire growing. They both groaned when they reached their floor, disappointed that they had to wait but exchanged impish smiles. They walked for a short moment before finally reached their room.

*SMUT STARTING WARNING*

As soon as they were in the room with the door closed Stefan wasted no time in pulling Hailey pack into a heated kiss. But this time the kiss was different it was hungry, possessive, and filled with the promise for more. Stefan began to trail a kisses down Hailey’s neck leaving little love bites in their wake. Something in him purred in lust and affection with seeing her with his mark. Pride surged through him seeing how flustered Hailey was from his kisses, the pink highlighting her cheeks was such a good color on her. For Hailey something deep inside her preened in response to getting marked, it made her feel appreciated and protected. She felt as if she wasn’t doing enough and followed Stefan’s example when he pulled back to help her take off her battered hoodie. She surged forward to lock her lips on his neck and left three large marks. She felt intense satisfaction and immense pride in seeing Stefan panting and chasing after her lips after she was done. She soon found herself in only her tee and undergarments and Stefan was in similar attire. She was leaning back on the bed lips locked with Stefan leaning over her. They soon both removed their shirts. And Hailey froze when Stefan had looked at her nearly bare body. How could she forget that her body had multiple scars? Before she could haste her shirt back on Stefan had started to trail kisses on her scars. The action left delightful shivers running down her spine.

“So beautiful and perfect. So strong and pretty.”, he murmured loud enough for her to hear him. He was initially angry at whatever caused his beauty to have her scars but he noticed her heartbeat, he had to endure her that she was still so unfairly beautiful to him. When she heard him she felt the heat rise in her cheeks. How could Stefan make her feel so pretty and perfect with so few words?

He begun to take of his shirt leaving him in his boxers.Hailey had never seen a boy ,other than Ron while they were in the run and limited of space, shirtless but Stefan had the body similar to a Greek marble statue. His muscles were taught and his abs were drool worthy, not to mention the outline that she could see bulging from his boxers. He took off his underwear along with hers. They both took a moment to observe each other’s bodies more. Stefan had his taught and lean muscles on full display and his skin looked so smooth. She then started to trail her eyes down and she widened them in alarm. Pressing to his belly was Stefan’s thick manhood of eight inches. She was worried that it wouldn’t fit but was also fascinated by it. She then noticed Stefan’s hungry stare at her bare body. She felt shy and moved her arms to try and cover her breast but Stefan stopped her. He wanted a better look at Hailey’s body. She had a gorgeous hourglass figure. Her bust was a d-cup and her ass looked absolutely delicious. Her fair skin and scars made her look like a war goddess and so irresistible. Stefan still wanting to assure her that she was attractive pressed close to her on the bed. She felt his desire poking at her hip.

“Do you feel that sweetheart? Your so irresistible and perfect that you already have me so hard that it almost hurts.” he said trying to convey how badly he wants her. Hearing that it was hurting him made her try to relieve it.

“Will it feel better if I start to touch it? Do you need me to touch you Stefan?”, she said in a sultry manner. She reached down and trailed her small hand up and down his shaft gaining more confidence with every moan and groan he let out. She noticed pre-cum starting to leak from the tip and ran a finger over it and brought it to her mouth, it was a bit bitter but good. She took great pride in knowing that it drove Stefan wild. Stefan was never one to not repay his dues, so he started to trail his fingers on Hailey’s maidenhead. She gasped when she felt his fingers reach her wet folds. He gently teased and pinched her clit. He started to take his pointer finger and gently thrusted it in and out to help prepare her. It soon turn to two once she started moaning his name and became a bit faster in thrust when she started stroking his manhood faster. Stefan was losing his mind to the pleasure and felt that if he didn’t stop her, he would end up coming in her hand. But before he could say anything the fae like girl he had brought to bed had surprised him again.

“Babe, you won’t be able to be in me if we don’t stop.”, and he nearly came at the sound of her voice so hoarse from moaning. He took out his fingers and she moaned the loss of them in her. He then repaid her earlier action by sucking on said fingers to taste her.

“Lay down on your back.”, she didn’t argue with his chosen position as she wanted to be able to see him. Truth be told he also wanted to see her reactions and be able to easily access her neck to leave more of his marks. He lined them up before telling her something important and asking a very important question.

“Babe when I enter it’s going to hurt a bit as I’ll be breaking your hymen. I want to know if you want me to go slow or fast when I do it.”, he had to make sure she knew what was gonna happen before anything actually happens, as if she could read his thoughts she thought along the same lines and fell a bit more in love with his consideration for her.

“Fast,but please be gentle.” she answered but whispered the last part of it.

“Always.”, he said it as a promise and oath.

He thrusted in all of his length in fast but made sure to be gentle and stop when he felt he had broken through. With her hymen broken it had stained his manhood with her virgin blood unknowingly starting a ritual. While it had hurt it was definitely less painful than the basilisk venom. She dug her nails a bit into his shoulders and gritted her eyes and teeth. They were broth frozen until she experimentally squeezed the length inside her causing both Stefan and her to moan and Stefan to buck his hips a bit. He looked at her with a silent question in his eyes. She nodded and he started to thrust gently into her cavern. She started demanding for harder and faster and he did not disappoint. Soon enough she was screaming his name while he was groaning hers. He was getting close and from how she was staring to get tighter she was too. His vampire instinct had started to kick in he turned her over so she was lying on her stomach, he started thrusting in and out like an animal with the fastest speed he could do trying to maintain the image of human and get his cock as close to her womb as he can get. She started to plead with him and moan his name even louder. He brought her up so that the position was her back to his chest. He sucked on her neck and played with her breast as he got as far as he could inside her with this new angle. This was the tip over for Hailey as she had started to come around Stefan’s cock. Her climaxing caused Stefan to climax inside of her causing his (thought to be) infertile sperm to paint the insides of her barren (to humans) womb and for him to bite her nape enough to draw blood and complete the ritual.

*END OF SMUT*

They were both exhausted and basking in each other’s touch as they cuddled. They were just staring at each other in silence, anything that needed to be said has either already been or could be discussed tomorrow. Hailey had her hands caressing Stefan’s face and his hands were drawing circles in her hips. He pressed a kiss to her scar on her forehead and then a kiss to her lips. They were pressed together and eventually lulled into sleep.

*Stefan Salvatore’s Dream/Nightmare*

Stefan was in the boarding house sitting with Hailey cuddled up to his chest. Then it Damon speeds in and Hailey is gone from him.

“You really think you could have something with her baby bro? With you in the equation you’d just get her killed or with her hating you especially if she finds out what you are.”, Dream Damon said with the usual cocky smirk that turned into a sneer towards the end. He about to speeds towards him when it changes again this time it’s Elena standing in front of him with that judgmental and longing gaze he’s come to hate.

“Come on Stefan you know you would end up ruining her. Just like me. I was perfectly okay and normal before you showed up. I’ve lost so many people and have had to sacrifice so much. You really think she’ll still be with you when she hears what you do for Klaus?” he’s so close to snapping her neck when it changes again to Klaus this time.

“Come now Stefan, you bring this lovely creature with you and I’ll just end up using her to keep you in line. Not to mention she would slow you down, wouldn’t she, Ripper?” Dream Klaus said with the same infuriating smile as the real one. It changed again to his father.

“You think you deserve her. She’s human, monstrous scum like you should leave her out of your world. If you want what’s best for her you’d better let her go.”, his dream self at least ended up ripping out his dream father’s heart.

*End of Nightmare*

He woke up up with a cold sweat. He looked over to his side and saw that Hailey was still sleeping. She looked so innocent and peaceful. He reviewed his dream while he trailed his eyes over her. He couldn’t do that to her. He can’t drag her into his messy life and make her a pawn to use against him. She already means a great deal to him, he can’t make a human girl suffer for him being selfish. With his mind made up he moved quietly through the room to put on his clothes but before he left he left a loving kiss on Hailey’s head and written his phone number on the hotel complimentary cards and left it on the pillow near her head. He felt that he needed to be more sincere so he also left the daylight ring he’s had since he was a young vampire. He could always get another. He was lucky it was still late. He hoped she would contact him. If she wanted to keep in touch with him, he wasn’t in the right to deny her that was his excuse secretly he just hoped it could lead to them meeting again. With what he felt like needed to be done dealt with he stepped through and closed the door. With every step he took away from Hailey his humanity turns off bit by bit. By the time he was in his car his whole humanity was off as if he had never had them on in the first place. It was like the whole night before had never happened…but it did. He would always have the memories of Hailey with him and close to his heart and hopefully they can meet up again without having a threat hanging over his life, but for now he needed to continue like nothing happened… for her he was willing to do anything with or without his humanity.

*Hailey Potter’s Dream*

She was cooking something in Number 12 Grimmauld Place when she felt a chin on her shoulder and arms wrap around her waist. She looked to find Stefan smiling adorably at her. She was just about to speak when her dream changed. The kitchen became an endless black horizon. She swirled around to find out where she was. She froze when she heard somebody clear their throat to get her attention. She turned her head slowly towards the origin of the sound and she froze at the image. Standing in a black clothing was her godfather, Sirius Black.

“Sirius?…”, she asked with hesitation, this man looks similar to him but there was something off. He chuckled.

“Sort of pup, death needed a meeting with you and needed someone to be their… representative. I offered and they took me up on it.”, she could badly believe it but then again she came from a world where wands were mandatory at eleven.

“But… you… I’m sorry, Sirius for dragging you-“, she started with her apology but was quickly cut off.

“None of that pup, I gave my life for you as was my original job, I was meant to protect you. But if your real sorry about it…”, he started to trail off.

“What, what can I do to make it up?”, Hailey said she just needed to do something for him.

“Just first listen to the message death is going to give you, and don’t get too freaked out he going to be using he as a host… sort of.”, as soon as he said it the leather trench coat he was wearing propped the hood over his eyes. The voice that came out of Sirius’s mouth was not his but rather something inhuman about it.

“Hello my mistress. I see you’ve already made yourself aquatinted with a creature of mine. Barely a day as my new mistress, good to see you can get it done early.”, Death said through Sirius’s voice though it sounded raspy and hoarse, like he hasn’t had a chance to rest in a decade…though in this case it could be true. She also found it strange that Death was trying to crack a joke and lift the mood. Though what Death said caught her attention, when had she met a creature of his?

“Death, what…w-when had I met a creature of death?”she tried stammering out, she was a bit nervous though she may be it’s mistress, it’s still an all powerful force that no one can escape. Death didn’t hesitate to answer it’s newest master.

“Soon after you arrived in America mistress. You made yourself known to one of my creatures that has been on Earth for nearly two hundred years while his species has been there for a thousand. You went and got yourself a vampire lover barely a day into being the Mistress of Death.”, Death said with a hoarse chuckle towards the end. It made her freeze, lover? Until this very night she had never had one and Death did say on her first day. So that meant…Stefan is a nearly two hundred year old vampire?!? She lost her virginity to a vampire?!? She accidentally said that last sentence out loud. She felt her cheeks heat up in embarrassment but all Death did was send her a smirk. But then she remembered the prophecy that was written in the books, ‘As it is stated in the original tale a brother passed down his gift from death. However there will be a day in which a descendent will be in ownership of all three hallows making them the Master of Death. And they along with a creature of death will be able to bring the next heir of Death.’, she was the master and Stefan was the creature that meant…she brought a hand to lay on her stomach and looked to death with a silent question. They nodded in affirmation…she had the Heir of Death growing inside her. She burst into happy tears, she had thought she lost her chance in starting a family after acquiring the title, she’s so happy. But…how would she tell Stefan, she learned at Hogwarts on how there were different vampires in the world. Magical vampires in which only males had the ability to procreate but it was a one out of a million chance and the mother had to be a witch. Muggle vampires are all infertile or at least there was never a case of pregnancy, not till now. Death could read her thoughts, they needed to tell her about their creatures decision in keeping her safe.

“Mistress when you wake you will be alone in that room.”, Death said in a gentle manner. She snapped her head towards him in distress did Stefan just…use her. Death quickly amended her thoughts.

“Currently your lover has been entangled with very dangerous people, including his own brother. He’s in debt to one of the founding members of his species who would not hesitate to use or harm you to keep Stefan in line. With his brother he would try to use you the same way and likely try to use you as a sacrifice to keep himself, his brother, and his brother’s ex Elena alive. He had to leave in order to keep you protected, he didn’t want to in fact he left something next to you to try and never actually be apart from you. In fact his inner vampire was raging. He had made himself your mate by completing the ritual of claiming you.” Death said, Stefan was one of their favorites. They don’t need to explain themselves. With their explanation done it appeased Hailey, Stefan didn’t know she was a witch, a powerful one at that, and that she could protect herself. But the fact that he would put himself through being separated from his mate so he could protect her made her love him a little bit more. But she was still a bit miffed that he decided that on his own. There was also the little bundle of joy she would have to explain to him. Death got a mischievous smile and golden her an idea of theirs.

“Mistress, since you are upset with your lover how about you get back at him.”, while Stefan may be one of their favorites, Hailey was still their master and would always take higher priority along the incoming Heir. She looked at Death curiously, did Sirius’s body end up influencing Death? Death ignored the look she was giving them and told her of theirs.

“There will come a day while your child is still in infancy in which you will need to decide on a new place of residency. You will need to infuse you magic with an object and decide by chance. Only after your child is born can this happen. You will meet with him again. And absolutely bamboozle him and make him insanely jealous on the fact that someone had given you a baby. Only after he rages can you reveal the truth about everything.”, Death enjoyed a good soap opera. Hailey thought about it and it did sound hilarious. It would be a good start in teaching Stefan not to hold her out in decisions. She soon had a matching smirk and Death beamed at their mistress for doing their idea. It needed to be done this way or it could turn out for the worse. Their sibling Fate could be a real bitch if they don’t get their way. Death bid her a goodbye, Sirius pulled down the hood and revealed his troubled face though there was a hint of amusement on it.

“What’s wrong Padfoot?” Hailey asked him in amusement. He had a pout on his face in good humor.

“Me and your father agreed that you shouldn’t even date until you were thirty and now some pubescent vampire has gone and defiled you…I am so haunting him!” he said in a childish and endearing way. She felt that she was beginning to wake up.

“Thank you for coming to me Paddy and don’t be too hard on Stefan. I think…I think I love him.” Sirius just looked at her with an understanding smile and joyful eyes.

“Don’t worry pup I’ll just put the fear of the Black name in him. I love you pup make sure you head straight home when you wake.”, he told her in a mock parental way.

“I will and I love you too Padfoot.”, as soon as she finished saying her goodbyes she awoke.

*End of Dream*

As said so by Death she was alone in the room, she squashed down the disappointment she felt. She looked around to try and find what Death said Stefan left for her. She found the little card with his number, she’ll have to ask Hermione for help. But her heart skipped a beat when she saw that he had also left her his ring, the one he told her meant a great deal to him. She also just realized that she has been gone for hours and her friends and pseudo family must be freaking out over it. She quickly got dressed, tucked the card into her pocket, and transfigured a towel rack into a necklace chain for her to put the ring on it and wore it. It was too big to wear in her fingers and she didn’t want to lose it. She made good on her promise to Sirius and apparted back to the UK after concentrating. She landed in front of The Burrow, time to face the music.

Chapter 9

Immortal Dilemmas

~Time Skip 2 and 1/2 Months Later~

*Hailey Potter*

 With how big she has gotten she is surprised by how much bigger she will be getting. By Hermione’s calculations Hailey is considered to be in the 7 month gestation period despite only having to cook the bun in her oven for a little over two months. They were right to start the preparations for the baby as soon as they left Hogwarts and arrived back to base. Hailey made it a point to move in and never leave the Burrow after her first month unless absolutely necessary. Which was a good decision as an unexpected affect with Hailey being pregnant with a Muggle Vampire lead to her being very adverse to the sun, she had an instinct whenever she didn’t have Stefan’s ring with her to just avoid direct sunlight as much as possible. She had stuck her hand near the window once to close while it was still sunny without the ring, it was strange as the sun didn’t harm her but it was almost as if her baby had just projected their instinct of avoiding the sun. Her pregnancy while similar to witches with a vampire as the sire, still had many unknown factors with Stefan being a muggle. Glamours were uncomfortable to have on too long and with how petite she was you could already tell she was carrying when she was in the considered three month gestation. Everyone was informed of her pregnancy being faster than normal but they were still shocked to see her growing so rapidly.

 With only the Weasley parents, Ron, and Ginny staying at the Burrow they were happy to offer up any of the boys previous rooms for Hailey to pick for her and her baby. She decided to choose Bill’s old room as he has a noise cancellation charm on his room from his early days of practicing curses. Despite everyone’s protest she didn’t want to bother anyone if the baby gets fussy at night. She had commissioned the twins and Bill to help develop a necklace that unleashed a very strong Stupify and Protego when the wearer was attacked. Remus and McGonagall had decided that with her baby on the way she would need to catch up quickly to graduate early from Hogwarts. The Ministry would just take it as her not wanting to be overrun with hordes of fans at Hogwarts.

 During her first month she had done all the necessary shopping. With a limited amount of magic that can be used on a pregnant woman she forego all but one spell to use on herself, Puer Conditione. It was used to check on the baby’s heartbeat and health. But with the refusal to do a gender reveal spell she decided to get mostly monochrome and prime color onesies. In her shopping people had just assumed she was shopping for her godson. She did decide to get a couple of onesies that magically resize for ages newborn to five years old. She had gotten a griffin onesie and a dragon onesie for her baby to enjoy. She grabbed a cat onesie as a joke for Teddy, but Remus was dismayed to tell her that his son absolutely loves it. She couldn’t hide her smirk from him.

 She wasn’t going to buy baby toys yet but she did buy a bouncer with the Hogwarts house’s mascots that’s enchanted to start rotating and play ‘twinkle little star’. She was gifted with a few things from her family that she is sure her baby will absolutely love. Hermione had enchanted a few baby books to show the story until she could start teaching her niece or nephew to read early. Ron had gifted her a Winnie-the-Pooh bear and ensured her it was enchanted by Bill to prevent it to being tampered with, he said so while sending a glare to the twins. The twins had gifted her a blanket that was black and purple that was in the shape of a bat, she of course snorted at the design. Molly gave her a self written little notebook that had a lot of good tips in calming down the baby with just about anything at hand. Arthur had given her a family of rubber ducks. Charlie gave her a couple of stuffed dragons that were charmed to fly around the room at a slow pace. Bill had given her a book of runes in case she wanted extra protection around the baby’s crib. Percy had gotten her a few adorable onesies that had printed suits on it, something about it’s never too early to dress for the job you want. Ginny had given her a kiddie broom, she’s going to wait a while before letting the baby on it. Remus gave her the same gift that he gave her parents apparently, a coupon book for anytime that she would need him to watch her little bundle of joy.

 By the time she was in the last week of her first month her magic had been proven to spazz out. Ms.Weasley was overjoyed, she said it was an old wives tale about that if the mother experiences random accidental magic burst it increases the chance that her baby would be magically gifted. Remus told her about her mother having to deal with everything in the room floating and bouncing whenever she had hiccuped inside her womb, James was overjoyed. Molly had told her it’s expected for a pregnant witch to do at least one burst of accidental magic or it would be considered a sign that the baby was going to be born without magic. While it made her happy as it could mean her baby is able to protect themselves, Hailey did not care if her baby ended up a squib or the next Merlin she just wants them to be healthy and happy. Every other day her baby would either kick or hiccup and something would either be transfigured in some way or charmed to float or stick to the ceiling. By the time her second month started she was practically buying Honeydukes out of every Bloodpop they had, and is she was out the only other way to appease her child’s hunger was a barely cooked steak or a Blood Replenishment potion. Other than that her baby had apparently gotten her sweet tooth and was constantly wanting some dessert with any meal she had. Though she was glad to have the idea of melting down her Bloodpops as a kind of syrup for her desserts, the baby loves it for sure.

 It had also became apparent when the baby started kicking that it was going to be a rough few weeks. While it was a joyous occasion to feel the little one move it would more often then not leave her with a massive bruise or some bone bruising on her lower stomach. Being one of Madame Pomfrey’s patient came with perks. She already knew Hailey’s history, she wouldn’t go to the prophet, and she was trust worthy enough to be told about Hailey’s unique pregnancy. She had told Hailey a fact that depressed and at the same time filled her with joy. Her baby was half vampire but wouldn’t truly become one until they come of age. While happy she won’t have to see her baby grow old and pass she was also sad that they would also not have a choice in becoming immortal like the mother and father. But the baby will already have most of a vampires abilities but will go into their true inheritance by the time they become of age. The baby will only have one weakness and that is a herb called vervain. She had given Hailey a batch of Blood Replenishing potion, Skele-Gro to help strengthen her bones, and a vial of healing cream for her bruises. It was decided that in order to keep her baby safe it would be better to have the delivery at the Burrow and contact Madame Pomfrey immediately. At Saint Mungo’s it was too much of a chance to rely on patient confidentiality when everyone wanted the smallest details about her. Her child would never be left alone if word got out and it would be harder to leave the community. Having the baby at home was her best bet.

 “Oh, come off it Fred! I’m obviously going to be the cool uncle!”, George had said one day entering the sitting room with his twin in tow from the floo.

 “You come off it! Grown people can’t even tell us apart how on Merlin’s Beard is the baby going to be able to!”, Fred said to rebuff him. Then of course Ron and Ginny entered the argument stating it wouldn’t matter if the baby would be able to differentiate them. They were of course going to be the cool aunt and uncle. That sparked an argument with Hermione and Ginny. And the twins and Ron just kept spouting off about how they were of course going to be the baby’s favorite. With everyone shouting her annoyance and temper had started to spike. Over the few weeks they had learned pretty quickly that her temper was to be even more feared than a Molly Weasley Howler. Her mood swings was something they had not expected one day she had came down smiling which quickly turned to bawling, which turn to rage when the twins had asked her to calm down. They learned a very important lesson that day. So whenever they felt the air shift, the immediately paled and stopped talking. Hailey swept them with her eyes and a glare that made them fear for dear life. They let out a breath of relief whenever she got up a kind of waddled to the kitchen for more chocolate pudding it would seem the baby didn’t want much blood that day.

 Whenever she was left to her own devices all she thought about was Stefan. She wondered if by instinct that he knew he was going to be a father. She wondered how he was doing being away from her for an extended period of time with them being mates. She always had questions about their situation but there was hardly any place she could get answers from. Just like before her situation could only ever happen to her. Whenever she remembers their meeting she would absentmindedly play and fiddle with his ring on the necklace. She found out from Hermione that it was a daylight ring. She was filled with warmth when she had realized that Stefan had wanted so badly to leave a piece of him that he had risked being burnt up by the sun. She hoped that he was okay, she really hoped that his brother and ex-girlfriend were keeping their distance from him. From what she gathered from Stefan they were constantly a thorn on his side that believed that there was no way of them being wrong for whatever actions they did against him. Hailey just knows that if she ever meets them and see them being a bother to Stefan, she won’t hesitate to hex them into submission.

 Since returning she also was bombarded by the amount of mail she was getting from nearly every wizarding family in Britain. All of them were the same, thank you’s with eventually leading to that they wanted to repay her by offering their eldest son’s hand in marriage. She responded as respectfully as she could that she was not interested and had just wanted to recuperate from the battle. Most have given up but the Malfoy family has been very insistent especially Lucius with Narcissa backing him as it was always her plan to have Draco take the Black name and mantle. Lucius had been pardoned as he had told the Ministry who was a death eater in the inner circle and undercover at Hogwarts. His family, excluding Draco, was being snubbed by the entire wizarding community so he was trying to save face by trying, and failing, to arrange a marriage between Draco and Hailey. Draco was openly against the marriage as he felt that his entire life had already revolved around Hailey because of his father. He was grateful to her, they are in decent terms and he wasn’t going to repay her by trying to force himself on her. The least he could do for her now is taking his place as the head of the Malfoy family. His father being in Azkaban for an extended period with dementors should be enough to convince the Goblins that Lucius was not in the right mind to lead the family. He had told her of his plan through a letter he was able to secretly mail out.

 She did not want to marry anyone from the community, they were all just trying to share her titles. So she was happy to receive Draco’s letter. She was especially happy when she got a notice from Gringotts that ensured her that she wouldn’t and even couldn’t marry someone from the community.

* Flashback to 6 weeks ago *

 The makeshift family was trying to have breakfast but it was proving to be a bit difficult. Not difficult but most of everyone was just distracted and not paying attention to their own food. All the Weasleys were present along with Remus and Tonks with Teddy. They had decided that once a week they would gather enjoy a meal and of course check up on Hailey. She was at first making funny faces and playing peekaboo with her godson but then the food was put on the table. Hailey was eating everything that was put in front of her and her family just watched in awe. They weren’t use to her eating much, Molly had used to need to force Hailey to remember to eat meals and snack on more than one occasion. While finishing up her scrambled eggs, Hailey was about to ask for pancakes using a melted Bloodpop as syrup when she noticed in the corner of her eye a standard owl landing at the window. She took the letter expecting to see a wizarding family sigma but was surprised to see the Gringott symbol. She opened it knowing her family still had their focus on her and read aloud.

“Dear Lady Potter-Black

It has come to our attention that you have recently entered a mating bond with a Stefan Salvatore, a muggle vampire, we congratulate you for a successful ritual. Please note that the documents attached would make it official on Gringott records that Mr.Salvatore has now become your spouse and husband. It should also be noted that once sent to Gringotts it would also update your records at the Ministry without alerting officials there. Please do hurry to complete the documents. Congratulations and may your family line continue.

With Honor,

Griphook-Gringotts Head Goblin”, she was shocked but a small part of her was relieved. She knew that Stefan was it for her. She didn’t want anyone else and she hoped he felt the same. The goblins had always loved to pull a fast one on the wizarding community, so them ensuring that the most eligible bachelorette was taken was icing on the cake. It also means that no matter how hard Lucius would push for a marriage, he would never be able to make it happen. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she was only broken when she heard chairs scraping against the floor. She turned around and saw her entire family had faces with shock and disbelief. She tried to ease the tension.

“It’s a good thing Stefan already gave me a ring then to make it official.”, she said jokingly while unclamping the necklace to put his ring on her left ring finger. Then playfully she had started twirling her hand to show off the ring. But all that brought was them to just continue to stare at her until Ron had replied.

“Only you Hailey, could enter an accidental marriage while already carrying the bloke’s baby.”, he said with a sigh of begrudgingly acceptance. And everyone had copied his sigh. Hailey just continued to beam at them and stare fondly on her newly appointed engagement ring.

*End of Flashback*

 That was at least one problem solved in their predicament but there was also a few others. In her early weeks she was able to go around and keep up appearances by either baggy clothes for expected time consuming trips to wherever and a glamour for when it was for a shorter one. But five weeks in her pregnancy, it was apparent that she would need to have a glamour on for every trip and she was getting fed up of being hounded by reporters and paparazzi. She was advised to just stay in the Burrow as with her magic more in touch with her emotions now more then ever would likely cause a huge scene if a reporter like Rita Skeeter was going to continue grating on her nerves. She didn’t want anyone to know about her substantial power boost to her magic and it would obviously lead to questions on how she got it. So she opted to just stay home all the time.

 She was growing to be huge and she still had about half a month to go. She couldn’t see her feet anymore and she constantly complained about feeling like a whale on the beach when she couldn’t get up from her bed without assistance. Molly had said that the baby just looked bigger because she was a very petite girl. She was sure that her baby was either going to inherit either their father’s or their grandfather’s height with how big she was. Her father was 6’0 ft tall and Stefan was 5’11. She was going to be surrounded by tall people.

 She woke up one morning with Braxton kicks being a bit stronger than she was used to. Her baby was also not doing any favors by making it be known that they wanted her up.

 “Come on little one be nice for mummy, okay?”, she started to rub her belly to calm the baby and it eventually did the trick. It was a good thing she had downed some Skele-Gro the night before to make her bones repair and stronger. She was able to actually get herself up this morning without any help. She decided to wear the light blue maternity dress Molly had adjusted and handed down to her. It wouldn’t be good if anyone from Hailey Potter’s close knit circle was seen buying maternity clothes. Her dress was a bit snug in the chest area but it flowed freely. She had gone up a cup size during her pregnancy and was now a double d which did no favors for her poor aching body. Not to mention the damn Braxton kicks take a while to stop so she is definitely going to be sitting for most of the day. She grabbed the elder wand from her nightstand and quickly made her way downstairs before it could get stronger and force her to stay in her room for the day.

 It was another weekly meal and gather time, so everyone was present. By the time she was seated in her usual place she was hit with a very strong contraction that would of made her keel over if she wasn’t sitting. She let out a groan and it captured everyone’s attention. They all stood from their chairs in worry. Hermione made her way towards Hailey to see if she could be of any help. But then Hailey looked up to everyone with a pale face.

 “I think my water just broke!”, six simple words had caused every male in Burrow to start panicking. Remus and Arthur had fainted.

 “Quick! Someone call Pomfrey and get the bed ready!”, Molly had said and ordered. Ron and his brothers were quick to try and get Hailey to the bed. Bill, Charlie, and Percy were going to help move her and settle her. Ron and the twins making the bed as comfortable as possible for Hailey. Ron was on blanket and towel duty, George was in charge of getting as many pillows as he could for her and fluffing them, and Fred was to get the pails of water that would be needed. Once the room was ready and that Hailey was situated, Hermione kicked them out to help change Hailey into a medical gown that Poppy had given them. Once changed Tonks had pulled her hair back into a bun to not be in the way. Fleur had came in with Poppy as she was the one left to contact her. Hailey was starting to sweat and grunt as her contractions were getting closer together. Hermione came to her side to hold her hand in comfort. They both shared a weak and scared smile.

 “Alright everyone out! Ms.Granger you can stay as I’m sure Ms.Potter is likely to be more calm with you by her side.”, Hermione nodded in confirmation at Poppy’s words. Everyone had left the room and waited with everyone else in the hall. Seems like they finally resuscitated Remus and Arthur. They all waited anxiously. They started hearing Poppy encouraging Hailey to push and Hailey groaning in pain from doing so. It continued like this for an hour. Everyone had taken up rotating between sitting and clenching their hands to pacing. Then it happened.

 “Just one more big push Hailey the heads almost out!”, Poppy said loudly for Hailey to hear her over her groaning. She let out a scream as she pushed again and the she heard it. A newborn cry letting the family know that it was here.

 “Congratulations Ms.Potter you have a healthy baby boy!”, Poppy said while quickly swaddling the baby in a baby blue blanket. She smiled but it quickly faded and she felt another contraction hit her. She let out another loud groan. Poppy quickly gave the crying baby boy to Hermione who was too shocked to do nothing else other than hold him. What was happening?! Poppy had taken a look and was shocked to see that there was another head trying to come through.

 “Ms.Potter, I know your very tired but I need you to give me another good push!”, Hailey looked at her in shock. She was having twins?!? She felt another contraction hit and prepared herself. She was once again filled with fire. Her determination to birth her baby was just as strong as the first time. She kept pushing and pushing until eventually a similar cry rang through the room.

 “Another boy Ms.Potter!”, as Poppy was swaddling her other son in a dark blue blanket she leaned back on the pillows in exhaustion but was glad she was able to do it. Poppy had given her a potion that perked her up a bit but she was still very tired. She did it, she brought her little bundles of joy into the world. Hermione and Poppy smiled at her and presented her crying little boys to her. They had but diapers and little beanies on the babies already. Both a little pink but otherwise absolutely perfect in her eyes. She smiled as they had handed her boys over and placed them in her arms. Once they were settled in their mother’s arms the boys had finally calm down. She felt so happy finally holding her boys who were just as content to be with her.

 Her eyes started to water a little as she observed them and to her surprise opened their eyes to look at her. Her eldest in baby blue had inherited her emerald eyes and his brother in dark blue had inherited his father’s blue eyes with the perfect smudge of green. She pushed down her shock, smiled, and planted kisses to both of their heads. The babies gave her a little gummy smile. She was broken out of her trance when everyone had started to come in and see the new additions to the Potter line. All were shocked to see that Hailey had given birth to twins. Though not as surprised as they should be, Hailey is never one to follow the norm. She first did it by being the first girl born into the Potter family in the last millennia and now by being the first to give birth to twins in the family. Everyone had just stared at the babies and Hailey for a moment. Ron walked up to her and crouched to the bed level.

 “So, Hailey I take it I have nephews?”, Hailey just smiled. She looked to Ron and Hermione and it strengthened her resolve.

 “Well, I was actually hoping you could take on the Godfather title with Hermione as their Godmother.”, the couple went still and slowly they were both on their knees with tears of joy in their eyes as they looked at their best friend. Hailey then surprised them again by handing Baby Blue to Ron and Darker Blue to Hermione. Both gaining misty eyes again and rocking their godsons. Soon everyone had a turn in holding the twins. Soon enough Molly had fished out a wizard camera to take a moving picture. Everyone including Poppy had surrounded Hailey with the twins in her arms again on the bed. Molly set the timer.

 “Everyone say ‘Happy Birthday Boys’, when the camera goes off.”, and everyone did. On the back of the picture Hailey had written the boy’s birthday July 13th. Everyone had decided to let her rest. They would need to get another one one the boys got bigger.

 “Get some rest dear, once your ready we’ll help with naming the boys.”, with everything happening so fast she hasn’t got much of a chance to think about what to name her baby let alone both of her baby boys. Everyone left the room as peaceful as they could. She got her wand and softly lift the crib to move it closer to her. The boys were starting to fuss a bit at being hungry. Without thinking Hailey placed the boys gently onto the bead and started undoing the front of her gown. Once she raised them up she realized what she had just done. The boys were quick to calm down once they had gotten some of their mother’s milk in their mouths. She picked one up and started patting his back until he burped and repeated the process to his brother. They were quick to fall asleep after that with a few rocking motions. She placed them in the crib and just watched over them for a while. The boys were close and were holding hands and it was just the cutest thing that she couldn’t help taking another picture. Fatigue had finally hit her and she climbed back into bed and fell asleep as well.

*Hailey’s Dream*

 She was nursing one of the boys when she felt arms wrap around her waist and a chin on her shoulder. She looked to see Stefan looking at their son with a smile with his eyes filled with awe. She passed their son into Stefan’s arms and saw him panic but slowly relax as his son made his arms a temporary bed. She went to go get their other son when the dream started to shift and fade into a similar landscape that she has seen only once before. She turns around expecting to to see Sirius. She was shocked and her eyes were beginning to water, as while it was Sirius, in the black robes she saw in him last time, he was also accompanied with her father, who was in silver robes, both smiling like the marauders they were. She was reeling it in and counting to 10, she just needed to calm down before she accidentally starts crying at being with her father for the first time since she saw his spirit during the war. Once Sirius starting speaking she was able to listen.

 “Hello pup.”, her godfather said with a joyful smile, once she got a better look at him she realized he had actually become younger. When she looked to her father she noticed that he looked exactly as he did in her baby photos. She shakily made her way to both of them and could not stop herself from hugging them. She felt some tears escape but she calmed down after both of them had patted and rubbed her back, similar to what Remus did a while back. She pulled back and all three were smiling.

 “Hello Prongslette, I heard from your dogfather that you’ve been pretty busy. I’ve heard a few things about that mate of yours on this side. He’s got a pretty decent reputation. But that boy will be facing a haunting of his life if he steps a toe out of line.”, her dad said with a smirk. She blushed, their behaviors were a lot like Fred and George.

 “We were just given the news. Congratulations Bambi, you have led the Potter line to another generation! I’m a grandpa! I was super excited but your mother hexed me silly when I also started to call her grandma.”, her father added with a sheepish grin while rubbing the back of his nape, a similar habit she has when embarrassed.

 “Yeah, from what I’ve heard about mom, you had definitely dug yourself at least five more graves.”, she said to tease her dad. Her and Sirius shared a chuckle while her father pouted at them.

 “Now, Hailey I’m afraid we didn’t show up for a social call. Death wants a meeting with you about recent developments, they’ll also have some company.”, Sirius said and just like that the mood became somber, she knew something must have changed the prophecy had predicted one child bit twins. What happened?

 “As you know Sirius will be the vessel for death. However I myself have no clue who’s vessel I’ll be.”, her father said with little worry and her godfather shared the same attitude. Safe to say she now knows why Moony has so many gray hairs. Sirius, just like before, had his robes hood go over his eyes and her dad’s robes followed it’s lead. Death was quick to give greetings to their mistress.

 “Hello my mistress, I am pleased to see that the Heir has been born.”, Death would be even more please if his sibling would leave. Death did not want to share their mistress. When James had started to speak it was very different from Death’s voice, the voice coming out had no gender and had a presence that made Hailey feel in awe.

 “Hello our Chosen.”, they said with a smirk while side glancing at their sibling to see them highly irritated. Hailey was very confused who exactly is Death’s sibling and why were they calling her their Chosen?

 “Allow us to introduce ourselves. I am what you identify as the force of Magic. And we call you our chosen for in simple terms we favor you in magical power, as we have done to your ancestors as well. We allow you to do the impossible and things never done with magic before. I believe in your community they would compare you to our previous Chosen, Merlin.”, Magic said then waited a while to see their new Chosen’s reaction. She seemed to have gone into shock as she just kept staring at them while doing an impression of a goldfish.

 “Magic’s Chosen?!?! I’m already out of the norm already by being a forever sixteen year old mother and Mistress of Death!! Now your saying me and my children are the descendants of Merlin and have the chance to be that powerful?!?”, she said on the verge of hysteria. Her children and her have hit the pinnacle of Potter Luck. She would never have a semblance of a calm life, she thought with a bittersweet tone. After losing her cool, she took a deep breath in and let out a very defeated sigh. By now she should just accept that her life could never be calm or resemble anything close to average.

 The entities looked weary and were waiting for her to calm down before talking again. Magic had decided to interfere and called in a favor with their sibling Fate. While Fate hates that their siblings keep making them rewrite their plans they can’t do much, they owed them and they hate being in debt for favors. Once it looked like she was waiting for them to get on with it, Magic stepped forward a bit.

 “As you know you are my Chosen and Death’s Mistress. We both wished to keep it in your bloodline but to make another like you was deemed to…be problematic for our other siblings. They have already witnessed you with the power of I, battling a man who has fifty years and over of experience and knowledge and winning despite not even getting a decent gauge of magical knowledge. Then of course as Death’s Mistress another added power boost, eternal life, and youth. It’s safe to say our siblings were weary of having two beings like that wandering the mortal realm. As such I brought up the idea of ‘dividing’ the power. So I asked Fate to instead give you two children, one to take my mantle and one to take Death’s.”, Magic said the last part as if it was the smartest plan they had ever come up with.

 “So, let me get this straight. In order for you to keep the power in my bloodline you decide to give me twins to split the responsibilities.”, that’s just…her little family is proving to be quite impressive. At least she won’t have to worry about the boys not being able to protect themselves.

 “Yes, mistress. I’m afraid that we must be going but our vessels have requested to take some time to speak with you. Being entities of powerful forces comes with too many responsibilities.”, both sighed in dread before flashing a small smile to Hailey. Their hoods dropped and James and Sirius were back having matching mischievous grins.

 “Now Bambi, as it’s possible we won’t be able to see you for a while we want to help in baby names. What ideas do you have so far?”, her father asked in excitement with a slight bounce.

 “It was actually what I wanted to ask you last time pup, we want to be able to help in naming the next generation of marauders! ”, Sirius said with a triumphant smile. She blinked in surprise but it melted into a soft smile. And she blushed at what she was going to tell them.

 “Well, originally I was going to name my baby James Sirius if it was a boy but I’m thinking one will be James and the other Sirius. ”, both males started to get misty eyed, they were happy that she was going to honor them by giving her boys their names but they also didn’t want the boys to feel like they had to be like them.

 “Thank you, Bambi. But the boys deserve to have their own identity.”, her father said. And she thought about it, her name itself would bring the boys trouble as no doubt people would put them on a pedestal if they were ever discovered. Then she came up with the perfect idea.

 “Understandable, so instead of first names they’ll have them as middle names. But what to give them as first names?”, she thought very hard. She knew she wanted the boys to share her titles. As per tradition her eldest will inherit the Potter name and her other son will inherit the Black name. Once her youngest becomes of age he’ll have to change his name from Potter to Black. Then a flash of Stefan smiling came to her. She wanted the boys to have their father’s name, as a second last name. On their birth certificates that Poppy had left for her she’ll have to write Potter-Salvatore. Once they reach the muggle world however they’ll only go by the Potter name. She then remembered that both her boys would inherit her…other titles.

 She thought about it and thought that perhaps she should name the boys after which title they would inherit. She thought about names and asked the males what name should she give to her so that would be Death’s heir. They thought about it, with a vampire father and with Hailey as his father he would no doubt be quite the fighter. Then Sirius remembered a name that he was forced to remember because of Pureblood lessons. It would be the perfect name for the son that would eventually become the Master of Death.

 “How about Caelan pup? In Irish Gaelic it means ‘eternal warrior’. ”, she thought about it and Sirius was right her son would be quite the fighter and as stated before they would all be immortal. She smiled at him then turned to her father for help in naming the son that would be Magic’s next Chosen. James really had to think about it, his first thought was Merlin but that was the equivalent to naming a child Buddha or Zeus. Not to mention his grandson would also be immortal and he’s like for it to start with ‘c’, it was better than having the twins have rhyming names. Then he remembered meeting a young man by the name of Cedric, he was the first to be taken at the beginning of the war but maybe something similar as again he wants his grandson to have his own name while try to honor the young man that had died for his daughter. Then he remembered Ollivanders, how their was a wood that fits the criteria perfectly and could be used as a good name.

 “How about…Cedar? It’s wood is used to make powerful wands and it’s also used to represent immortality. It also brings honor to a certain young man.”, she was shocked at the name. She didn’t realize her father met Cedric. But she thought about it the name matches perfectly. She always regretted not being able to save Cedric. She had nightmares of his death for a while, he was a good friend. He had died before he could actually live his life. She remembered everyone seemingly forget him as life kept going. She didn’t want for him to be lost to history, he didn’t deserve that. So she agreed, he deserved to be honored in some way just for him to know that she in no way would ever forget him. She gave both males a hug as she felt that she was beginning to wake up.

 She woke up to the sound of her boys getting fussy. She went to cradle both of them and both were trying to get to her chest, they must be hungry. She settled herself in bed and began nursing. While doing so she examined the boys. Now that she was well rested she could see that their eye color wasn’t the only thing that separated the boys. Fraternal twins then. Her babies were fair skinned like her but her younger baby seemed to have been unfortunate to get the Potter hair gene while his older brother inherited their father’s. A little while later she had put the boys back in their crib and wondered how she was going to decide which one got which title. She was getting the boys onesies ready for them to wear when they had started to miss her and both began to cry.

 She rushed back to them and they calmed down once they saw her, she smiled and pulled some funny faces for them. She picked them both up and decided to dress the older twin in the griffin onesie and the younger in the dragon onesie. She put them back in the crib to get the camera and soon enough they were crying from being away from her. She was trying to hurry but she couldn’t find that darn camera! She finally found it and rushed back to her babies, the scene she came back to shocked her still. Her son in the dragon onesie was floating while crying and her son in the griffin onesie eyes had changed: his sclera (white part of the eye) had become red and the veins surrounding his eyes also became red and more pronounced. Once they noticed her they calmed down and returned to their original state. She walked up to their crib with widened eyes. She tried to lift her own mood by telling herself the good news.

 “Well little ones you just made it easier for mummy to name you.”, she said in a baby voice that caused her boys to start smiling. She grabbed the birth certificate for her oldest and turned her head slightly to him.

 “You’ll be Caelan James Potter Salvatore. Heir to Death and to the Potter name.”, her son started gnawing on his small fist while just staring at her with the same emerald eyes. She used her elder wand to write it. She grabbed the other certificate and then she turned her head to her youngest.

 “And you will be Cedar Sirius Potter Salvatore. Heir to Magic and to the Black name.”, he just began yawning but Hailey was happy that her boys were no longer nameless. She quickly jotted the name down. She then started thinking of what other items that she was going to need to buy since they were expecting only one baby. She was interrupted from her thoughts when there was a knock at her door and it opened to the rest of the family. They all had matching faces of fondness when seeing her close to her babies. Then they noticed the certificates in her hands, she must have finally named them. Hermione and Ron walked towards her and asked if they could know their godsons’s name. She didn’t want to leave anything out so she explained about her dream to the point of the boys showing which names belonged to them.

 Ron’s eye started twitching, of course his poor godson’s would be ‘blessed’ by Potter Luck. Hailey noticed it and just started laughing at him. He ignored her and soon the room went quiet again everyone just staring at Caelan and Cedar. The rest of the family left the room soon to give the new mother some more time with her sons. She picked her boys up and sat down with them on her bed. The longer she looked at them the more she started to think of their father. She was sad that he missed the birth of his son and even more sad that he didn’t even know that he was a father. A hollow feeling was in her chest but she knew that there was a plan for them all and she would just have to follow it. Now that she had her babies it was now safe to travel, her family said it would be the safest option to leave soon after the baby was born.

 Some of the family had to stay behind to help in rebuilding and making sure to change the laws about half-lings. She had heard the bustle going on outside and knew that they would likely be leaving later on today or very early tomorrow. The family and her decided that when leaving for America she would be accompanied by Ron, Hermione, Remus, Tonks, and Teddy. She wondered if Teddy being half werewolf would cause a problem with the twins being half vampire. She quickly shook off the thought and put the boys to sleep after nursing them in their crib. She started packing her own things in her magically extended suitcase. Once she was done she called in her traveling companions and asked how they should decide where to go. Tonks holding a sleepy Teddy had handed her a dart while Remus and Ron had started to hang a map of America on the wall. Hermione was off to the side holding a few other maps.

 Pretty soon she got the gist of what she was supposed to do. She closed her eyes and threw the dart and it landed on the State of Virginia. Hermione quickly picked out the map of the state and handed it to Ron. He grabbed the dart off, hanged the map, and handed the dart back to Hailey. She closed her eyes again and when she opened them she saw that the dart had landed on very peculiar named town. Remus walked up to the map to get a closer look and while he did that Hailey observed him, he seemed to be fine around the babies so Teddy should be able to get along with them. She broke out of her thoughts when Remus started talking.

 “Alright, we’ll leave pretty early tomorrow so get a lot of rest tonight. Hailey make sure you eat soon. Everyone make sure you pack everything you need first then pack what you want. The babies will be a little fussy from a portkey but they’ll calm down a while after. We’ll be leaving for Mystic Falls at dusk tomorrow.”, with the agenda laid out everyone left her room. She looked at the map for a while and fiddled with Stefan’s ring that was still on her on her left ring finger before finally deciding it was time for her to eat. She picked up the boys and headed for the kitchen. Unknown to all of them the father of the boys was evading the wrath of his a thousand year old ex while his chosen brother was laughing at his expense. Unknown to the father his world was about to change in ways that he couldn’t even dream or imagine.

Hey, have you thought about maybe making a master list for your story, Immortal Dilemmas?

Hi! To be honest I don’t even know how to make a master list. I can try though. I’ll try to have it done in a couple of days.

Chapter 17

Immortal Dilemmas

Death does not discriminate. Whether they are old or young, rich or poor, man or woman, evil or good death would come to claim when Fate had deemed their life had been long enough. There are those who try to avoid Death and believe they fooled death by gaining semblance of immortality. Death does not take likely to such foolery. There was a reason for why Mother Nature made even them have weaknesses, they do not wish to enact their sibling’s wrath. The only ones that Death deemed to have the privilege of avoiding them is of course their mistress and her family. Even then there will be a day that Death will claim them as well but unlike other mortals their mistress embraces death much like her mate, they accept death. But then there are others who believe that they do not deserve death and wish to avoid them at all cost, such arrogance does not go unpunished.

Death quite enjoys showing the overconfident and arrogant mortals that all they did was buy time but that was all. In the end the first ‘Immortals’ where taught that their time came at a very steep price just as the Peverell Brothers did. When a Wiccan dared to repeat the past transgressions made by another fool, Death ensured that her road into the afterlife would be excruciating. Especially since hearing that one day the children she had maltreated would one day mean a great deal to their master. The realm that death send her to would ensure as such but as of late they feel something was amiss. Someone was trying to undo their work! They could see Magic could sense it as well but before they could intervene Fate had arrived. They usually just reside in their own realms, they were both in Death’s realm appearing as James Potter and Sirius Black. Fate came to them as a figure with a hooded cloak.

“You’ll do well to leave them to their own devices,siblings.”, Fate said with their usual superior tone. Like death most forces don’t get in their way but instead of fear it was more to save a figurative headache. Fate can be a bitch if they didn’t get what they want in they wanted it. Magic and Death, however, couldn’t have cared less at that moment.

“I’ll be damned if I let some delusional mortal become a vexing to MY MISTRESS!”, Death said with a thunderous tone. Glaring at their sibling so intensely that it made them flinch but hold their ground. Fate was about to speak but was interrupted by Magic.

“Nor will I allow such a heinous use of me to become another dilemma for MY CHOSEN!”, Magic out of all their siblings Death and Magic had to be the one’s most hated by Fate. No matter their carefully crafted plans if Death and Magic decided on going off course there wasn’t much that Fate could do in retaliation. In came the tantrum.

“I HAVE LET BOTH OF YOU DICTATE ENOUGH OF HER JOURNEY! IF SHE IS TRULY WORTHY OF YOUR ATTENTION AND TITLES THEN SHE WILL OVERCOME IT! If not then that child was not wor-“, Fate did not get to finish their sentence as both of their siblings decided to send a wave of power to knock them away.

“DO NOT SPEAK ANOTHER ILL WORD OF HER! That child, as you put it, has overcome obstacles and pain that you as a mortal could never dare to approach or hope to bear!”, Magic said trying to reel back their anger from such slander of their chosen.

“It must happen Magic. If not dealt with now that Wiccan would just be more of a threat to your dear chosen. Besides she is not the only impudent mortal that will come.”, Fate said after picking themselves up and dusting themselves off. Magic made a move to knock the down again but was held back by Death and they looked at their sibling curiously.

“Wait Magic…think. Though as I loathe to admit it Fate has a point. Our Hailey has survived and conquered what no other could begin to imagine. We must…not intervene.”, it pained Death but Fate needed to run their course. The only way to help Hailey is that she could still use the gifts and powers bestowed upon her. Magic was baffled.

“BUT-!!”, Magic was of course protective of their Chosen. Their vessel was a her father and a father’s duty was to protect their family.

“Enough! This must happen or consequences will be troublesome.”, Fate said bitingly tired of having to argue about not getting their way. Both Magic and Death were annoyed by their outburst. Death nodded to Fate begrudgingly. They had to nudge Magic to do the same.

“FINE!”, they said. Not happy with having to put Hailey in any risk.

~Back in Mystic Falls~

Hailey was glad that Klaus had made good progress with his brothers. Elijah was a gentleman, Finn was quite curious over everything, and Kol seemed very interested in her kind and magic in general. She feel it best to not yet inform him about her ‘chosen’ status. They’ve only been awake for barely a couple of hours. She and the family had just welcomed the pack in and got them settled. She’ll have to speak to Klaus later when he believes it would be appropriate for the pack to go back to base. But until then she quite enjoyed the feeling of a full house.

She and Stefan had recently decided to not attend school. Hermione and Ron would have liked for them to but they understood. Hailey and Stefan have forever to go back to school but they cannot go back to enjoy the boys growing. Just that morning sealed their decision, the boys had reacted to peek-a-boo with their first laughs. It started with Stefan doing tummy time and Hailey recording them. Soon Caelan had started giggling and that triggered Cedar. Stefan had looked up with happy astonishment on his face and saw his wife had happy tears. They both had seen yet another stage of their boys growing and they don’t want to miss anything.

On the first day classes had started Hailey had gone to see Hermione and Ron off. Of course Stefan and the boys tagged along, he had been teaching the wizards to drive along with teaching his new older brothers how to as well. Hailey was a fast learner but had a tendency to be a speed junky, same with Kol. Ron, Remus, and Finn took a bit longer to learn what everything in the car could do but soon got the hang of it. Thankfully he had Hermione to rely on to teach sometimes as well as she was previously taught. It was when they went to a car dealership that Stefan had got a brief glimpse how wealthy Hailey was.

She had barely blinked when she decided to buy three new cars for the family. Stefan had persisted in paying for half of the cost and she had said, “Stefan, don’t worry about it! I could buy every car in the lot and it would barely leave a dent in my inheritance”. She had proceeded to buy the red BMW that Ron was eyeing, she gotten herself a blue ford mustang, and for Remus a black Mercedes. He could tell from the way Remus eye was twitching that they had been over it before but weren’t allowed to say anything. They rode into the school parking lot, garnering a lot of attention staff and student alike. Caroline and Tyler were there to be sure that the magicals were comfortable at the muggle school. While exchanging goodbyes a cough was heard, a very aggravating voice followed behind it.

Elena has had a very crappy last few months. First Stefan had gotten trapped by that freak of nature and said freak of nature continued to cause chaos around town. Elena was still fairly popular but not as much as the Potter’s. They came from old money, they were mysterious, and had gotten into the good books of the now second most rich family in Mystic Falls. Elena felt her temper flare up any time she heard the older people of the town talk about Potter in a sympathetic voice or hear girls envying Potter’s clothes and luck in spouse. She just about had a tantrum when she heard some males leer and lewdly talk about Hailey Freaking Potter and ignore her presence completely. Seeing the mushy scene she had to do something.

“You guys shouldn’t be making such a big scene. Hurry up or else we’ll be late! Stefan, what’s your first period?”, Elena’s plan was to break up the domestic scene and isolate her friends and Stefan from the Potter’s. She’s so frustrated with them being friends with them that all she wanted to do was shake them until some sense got into their heads. She batted her eyes at Stefan and made a sight pout, it used to make Stefan wild. She was unpleasantly surprised at his response.

“I’m not in school anymore, we’re just here to see Ron and Hermione off. Me and Hailey decided to stay home with the boys-“, he didn’t get to finish as Elena unleashed an honest to god tantrum.

“Stefan that is so irresponsible of you! You can’t just drop out! How the hell are you gonna support your ‘family’-“, she didn’t get to finish as Stefan interrupted her. How the hell was she supposed to keep him away from Potter is he’s at home with her all day, every day!

“Incase you forgot Elena! My family is pretty wealthy and so it Hailey’s. We can get a proper education later but right now we don’t want to miss out on the boys.”, Stefan was starting to get fed up with Elena’s entitled attitude towards how he should spend his time. If he wanted to raise his kids with his wife instead of going to school that was his business.

“But-, then how are we supposed to hang out and talk if you’re going to be at home!?”, Elena’s sputtering and ranting was gaining a lot of attention, onlookers had never seen this side of the Gilbert Good Girl. Some were a bit weirded out that she was clinging to a guy that already had kids and was happily married.

“Elena!! We aren’t together anymore remember, we’re not even friends! Any chance of being friends ended when you insulted Hailey and behaved like a straight up stalker!”, Stefan snapped. Now everyone was looking at Elena horrified. What in the world was going on through that girl’s head?

“I’m sorry that you decided that some girl-“, how could Stefan let some new girl come between them! Sure she had feelings for Damon but she knew deep down that they were supposed to be together! She didn’t get to tell him as such because it seems that Elena’s voice has become a new torture tactic for Stefan. Hailey had to hold his hand to calm him down, the sight made Elena more mad if it was possible. And the onlookers were able to tell.

“I’m going to stop you right there because Hailey is not just some girl! She’s my wife! The mother of my children! So yes she means more to me than your delusional relationship that you made in your head! Just let it go Elena and move on. Guys we’ll see you when you get home. Tyler, Caroline take care of them, okay?”, after getting a nod and sympathetic smile from them, Hailey and Stefan made their way back to their car to drive home. Elena made a move to follow them but was blocked by four angry supernatural teenagers. At seeing Caroline and Tyler’s glares she decided to start ranting again.

“I can’t believe you two! You betrayed us and went to the enemy!? Are you guys insane?!”

“Get real Elena, we became their friends there’s nothing wrong with that. We stopped being friends with you because you have become seriously sick in the head!”, Tyler said uncaringly. His words are typical as Tyler was known to be a harsh asshole but him defending the new family was quite the spectacle. Tyler had since sworn his loyalty to his Alpha and his family which included Hailey. He’ll be damned before he lets Elena spout off stupid crap. At Tyler’s words, Elena looked to Caroline for assistance but all Caroline did was turn her nose up and away from her.

“Miss Gilbert, you’ll be wise to leave us alone. From what we’ve heard about you, we really don’t want to be put in your vicinity.”, Hermione said in cold voice. Elena could practically feel the outsiders magic trying to suffocate her.

“Just leave us alone, alright? And if we hear you trying to badmouth or hurt our sister you’ll be sorry.”, Ron didn’t want to hurt a muggle girl, but from what he’s heard from his brother-in-law,he’s willing to hurt anyone who tries to hurt Hailey. A lion never leaves a member of the pride to fend for themselves. Elena was doing a good impression of a fish. They all moved past her with Hermione shoulder checking her.

As soon as they were inside they could feel everyone’s stares and hear the whispers. They paid them no mind and just headed to class. Ron had Tyler in all his classes so nobody dared to get close and ask questions. Less they wish to get decked by Tyler, who was known for having a short fuse. Hermione had Caroline, who let out a tongue lashing about respecting privacy to get people away. Elena was glaring at the quartet throughout the day. If she had been focusing she would have noticed that her friends and even her brother were all trying to avoid her.

Bonnie has been successfully avoiding Elena. She doesn’t trust the Originals but she was not going to risk her life saving Damon of all people. She can relate to what Coraline has said and couldn’t believe Elena. She seen the Potters around town, people had been calling the family that due to it seeming that they just follow everything Hailey Potter did and said. It was surreal to see, like the President with their secret service or something. The school was spreading rumors about Elena being Stefan’s stalker and some kids were even starting to worry that she might try to hurt the Potter Matriarch. After a long hectic first day she was happy to get home and just sleep. However when she woke up she found herself in a strange cave

In front of her was a coffin. What in the- how did she get there? She then, as if in a trance, made her way to it and opened the coffin. Inside it was a beautiful woman. Blonde hair, fair skin, and very traditional clothing. The resemblance to the Original sister popped into her mind. She then felt herself sit down on the ground, she vaguely noticed a circle around her being drawn by an unseeable force. But the trance on her was too strong. Whispers of an ancient language brushed by her ears. A bowl in front of her had lit ablaze and was only put out once she drew blood. When the fire went out, she took a large gasp. As if waking from a nightmare or the startling realization one could move after feeling the affects of sleep paralysis.

Bonnie looked up and her eyes met with a bright blue.

As an unwanted mother resurfaced, familiar faces have arrived via portkey.

Chapter 12

Immortal Dilemmas

Total silence had filled the Mystic Grill, everyone in town knew that there was tension between the Mikaelsons plus Stefan and the gang. They were waiting for the eventual explosion that usually happens when both groups are in the same area. The occupants of the Mystic Grill couldn’t help but wonder what role the new girl could play especially with her undoubted closeness with the younger Salvatore. What history do the unknown immortal teens share? Klaus would like to believe that in a… complicated situation he’d be able to react appropriately. However, when walking in the Mystic Grill with his sister to try and talk with Stefan about recent news on Hailey Potter, it was announced by the UK government that she had helped in stopping the stream of terrorist attacks and would receive some sort of medal, he could only stand their and gawk at the scene. There sitting with a girl practically on his lap was his little brother, both holding infants. In his gawking he could see Stefan’s mate bond connection with the girl, and finally put Stefan’s description to match. Pale porcelain like skin, emerald green eyes, and ebony curly hair.

He’ll be first to admit that his little brother really scored in receiving such a beautiful mate from the deities. She’s physically young but Klaus can tell from the haunted look in her eyes that she is wiser than her years let on. The good he can make out from the situation that Ms.Potter seems to have missed Stefan as well. The bad is that the residents of Mystic Fall’s is making her greatly uncomfortable and if not rectified soon he may have to restrain a Feral Ripper Stefan. The confusing bit is…the infants. Before he could observe more his sister decided to drag him towards the mates. Stefan noticed them making their way and had some tension bleed out but he was still on edge with the ‘scooby’ gang being so close to his mate and sons.

He could feel his blood starting to boil as the leering looks were still being thrown at his wife. Though that does bring questions to mind that Stefan will have to bring up with Hailey, how do they explain their relationship and their kids to the Mystic Falls’s population? He knows that he wants everyone to know that nothing short of permanent death could separate them and he doesn’t want the town to spread rumors of the boys having a deadbeat dad. Stefan has no shame in displaying that Hailey is taken and that the babies that they were holding are their own. But he has no idea if Hailey wants to do the same, he can’t just be thoughtless they’ll have to discuss it and whatever they decide he’ll have to accept it. A small noise from Cedar jolts him out of his brooding, he was done eating and it seems his brother is too. He follows Hailey’s example in putting the bottles back and placing a rag on his shoulder. They adjust the babies and started to try and burp them, it took Stefan a little while longer as he was still very wary but is learning that his boys are a lot tougher than regular babies.

With the feeding done the Mikaelson siblings had appeared at the table by the time that Hailey had the boys strapped to her again. With both of her hands free and in clear display, many had taken notice that there was a ring on her finger. A very familiar ring…and on her wedding finger! Elena gasped in shock, finally breaking out of her jealous glaring. She remembered how protective Stefan was of his ring, she had once tried to ask to wear it to get a closer look but was ultimately shot down. She presumed the rejection at the time to be due to her not knowing about his vampirism and asking in daylight, but he was still very guarded and protective of his ring after her finding out. Why did this stranger have the privilege to touch it, to wear it, to be so close to Stefan?!? Stefan had been ignoring her for the last 2 months and it just made her want to regain his attention and keep it on her. She does have feelings for Damon but she didn’t want to choose, she couldn’t bear to lose either of them. Stefan made a slight face of annoyance at hearing Elena gasp, goodness what now? In Elena’s delusion she doesn’t realize that she has lost Stefan a while ago.

Rebekah was often envious of humans, they had the chance to have what she could possibly never gain, to settle down. She has had centuries to come to terms with it but it never stopped her from wanting a mate, never stopped her from looking at pregnant women or recent mothers enviously. Seeing the scene that the immortal couple made her slightly bitter but then ultimately confused. She, along with the other Originals, can make out the bond. Stefan had gushed about his mate often enough that she learned about their…coupling. The infants though were a living impossibility…their scent proved ,to any well trained creature, that Stefan’s mate was their mother. She eyed them one was in a dark blue printed suit onesie, no doubt Elijah would have enjoyed, and the other was in a black printed suit onesie. Both the babies and the mother we’re wearing a peculiar family crest. Without thinking she made her way towards them dragging Nik with her. She and Nik nearly tripped once close enough to the table as Stefan gave them a beaming smile, completely unbothered or shocked at the infants belonging to his mate. Her and Nik look towards each other before deciding to pull up some chairs to sit with the young couple, which increased the mumbling and stares. Stefan thought it best to introduce.

“Klaus, Rebekah, I’d like you to meet Hailey Potter. Hailey this is my brother and sister in all but blood Klaus and Rebekah Mikaelson.”, he said bringing Hailey close to him again by wrapping an arm around her waist. She moved slightly to shake their hands and gave them a very warm smile. She offered her greetings and they responded but Rebekah had never been one for subtlety and patience.

“Hello and who are those two adorable bundles of joy with you Hailey?”, she asked. It was just killing the immortal with curiosity of just how the babies came to be, their mother’s first time was with a vampire, the time was very little to even consider that Stefan was possibly a father, but she smelled only of Hailey being intimate with him. All of this confused the hell out of her and she’s sure it confused Nik as well. Hailey bit her lip, she wasn’t sure how to introduce the boys and no doubt whatever she says here would spread like wildfire. But a small part of her mind made itself known, ‘Stake your claim! Announce to everyone that he is yours! YOUR husband, the father of YOUR children! Do it now, there are so many sending him lustful gazes, make it known that is all they could ever do!’. If she thought she was possessive of him when some desk clerk was sending him looks it doesn’t compare to seeing a whole herd of woman leering at him. She turned slightly to Stefan and saw the hopeful look and she hopes that he has the same train of thought as her. She took a deep breath and they both reached for each other’s hands in preparation of the incoming storm. She gave them a shy smile that ,much to Stefan’s chagrin and delight, caused many swoons.

“Well, these two are my sons. The one in the dark blue is Caelan Potter-Salvatore and in black is Cedar Potter-Salvatore.”, silence had reined as the whole grill was gawking. Everyone who pretended not to be listening intently had snapped their heads towards them. Other than the gang everyone had connected what she said. Stefan Salvatore, mystery of Mystic Falls, was a teen parent. Elena in particular had a look of fury on her face, how dare that girl make everyone confused on who her brats were sired by. But she was left gobsmacked when Stefan decided to add in something. She thought she would hear him clear up the confusion, that they were cousins or that the girl was some descendant of his, what he said filled her heart with anguish. Damon while instead of fury had a look of amusement but then it turned to a dark smirk as it brought opportunities.

“And before you say anything, yes I am their father. Me and Hailey had met last year when I was away for a couple of weeks in London. I…hadn’t thought of consequences and next thing we knew she was pregnant. You guys know that this was probably the only chance I was going to get to be a father and Hailey was in the same boat. The thing is where she’s from the higher ups wouldn’t allow her to keep a child that would be born into wedlock. They are a very traditional community. So while she was young they were more concerned about her not having a ring in her finger.”, he let the story and false information sink in. A century and a half had made him a pretty decent liar at least to humans. It may come back to bite him but they needed a human version of how they came to be married and with children. Klaus and Rebekah could hear his heartbeat so they know what parts were true and what wasn’t. So far all they knew was that the boys were definitely his, which itself was heads pinning. He hoped they were ready for the next little load of information.

“I only had known Hailey for a short time but me and her had become very good friends. I had no objection to marrying my best friend. We used my own ring as a wedding ring. The past year we’ve had to go through a bunch of paperwork. Our marriage is now seen by both our governments despite us being minors. We are both emancipated and the boys and Hailey are now registered citizens.”, it’s a botched story at best but it’s what he could come up with to ensure that no one questions them, at least for the meantime. Klaus and Rebekah both had looks of understanding but were still looking at the family in shock. The impossible was accomplished a vampire had procreated, it was a marvel nothing less than a miracle. Klaus couldn’t believe that his brother was married and would need a full story on that but children created from a vampire that was just a tale that needed it’s own book to explain. But he couldn’t help but grin at Stefan, his brother had a face of pure adoration. He looked over at the babies and just marveled at their existence, it made him chuckle in surprise but the smile never left. Rebekah couldn’t help but compare the boys to their parents. Caelan, if she recalled correctly, looked so much like Stefan. But she could see that he had his mother’s nose. Cedar looked more like his mom but that smile is uncannily Salvatore. She as well smiled and marveled at the newest Salvatore brothers.

Hailey noticed them smiling, she wouldn’t mind letting them hold the boys but with Stefan’s brother so close it felt better to have them close to her. She saw Rebekah had a look of yearning when looking at the boys and Klaus, while less intense, had it as well. Then she remembered, Klaus was apart of Stefan’s made family, the same Klaus that he said was the Original Hybrid?! And that would mean Rebekah is also an Original, it made her feel more secure around Damon then. Age plays a factor with a Vampires abilities, the older a vampire the more they are naturally strong the only case in which a younger vampire could overpower an elder is if they had trained hard and pushed their bodies to a degree that could not have been handled if they were human. She was now more at ease at her next action. “Would you like to hold them?”, both Originals look like kids that got caught with their hands in a cookie jar when they were caught staring. Stefan had a teasing grin on his face. Rebekah nodded enthusiastically but Klaus broke out of his stupor and was more hesitant and had a self-deprecating smile on.

“Uh…I’m not sure…babies have never really enjoyed my presence…and…what if I hurt him?”, Klaus had said the last bit in a broken voice that it had shocked his sister. But before she could comfort him, Stefan beat her to it by putting a hand on his shoulder.

“Klaus the boys inherited a certain trait from us that makes it so they aren’t the usual kind of babies you meet. Trust me, you’ll be fine and they’ll love you. I trust you, you won’t hurt my boys. Not to mention I kind of want to get a picture of the boys being held by their uncle if you don’t mind.”, Stefan said sheepishly but with determination. Klaus eyes did not water but he had to blink some dust away. Stefan trusted him enough to hold the little miracles and by deities he was not going to cry about it. He nodded shakily. Hailey took Cedar and gently laid him in Rebekah’s waiting arms. Rebekah absolutely melted over him and fell in love when he opened his eyes to show he inherited them from his daddy. Cedar looked at the strange lady that was not his mommy, she felt safe and felt similar to his daddy. Hailey took Caelan and took a bit of a while to show Klaus how to properly hold him. Klaus was stiff as stone not wanting to disturb the bundle but froze when Caelan opened his eyes. He melted a bit when Caelan let out a coo and moved slightly to go more into the heat source. Caelan took in the man, he felt…in a lack of better words hurt but he was safe, Caelan wanted to get closer to the man in hopes to make him feel a bit better and he was warm like his favorite blanky. Caroline was shocked to see a smile bloom onto Klaus’s face, he had adorable dimples. The Originals were completely enamored with the boys that they didn’t notice Stefan taking out his phone and snapping pictures while holding Hailey close to him and sharing adoring smiles. The occupants of the Grill, save a certain group, sighed happily at the sight. Damon had enough of the mushy atmosphere.

“Leave it to you Stefan to get caught up in a shotgun marriage. Don’t worry brother I’m sure you and her can make some kind of deal of being allowed to see others. After all there is no way that she could be satisfied with you.”, the bubble the group made popped with Damon’s voice. He had a condescending smirk when approaching the table. If Damon was honest he was jealous of the scene, why the hell was Stefan getting everything?! Why was Stefan introducing Klaus as an uncle?! And why the hell is he letting some human girl trap him with some other guy’s kids?! The vampires of the table growled lowly at Damon but it didn’t deter him. Klaus and Rebekah held the boys closer to themselves and away from Damon. Stefan brought Hailey closer to him, they were all hoping this could have waited but leave it to Damon to have terrible timing. Hailey was gripping Stefan’s hand in hopes of sending the message of her being uncomfortable with his brother being closer to them.

“Just what are you trying to imply Damon and tread lightly of how you speak about my wife.”, Stefan had a very dark glare aimed to his brother. One remark about Hailey and Damon would be living without his eyes and tongue if Stefan had his way. Damon raised a eyebrow, Stefan was seriously committing. When Damon stepped closer to leer down at Hailey Stefan stood up ready to tear his brother’s head off witnesses be damned but calmed somewhat when Hailey stood up to hold onto his arm. She did not want the fist call she made to the ministry to be that her husband had gotten rightfully angry and exposed the supernatural to muggles.

“I’m just saying that eventually it’s going to end up being a loveless marriage and it’s better now to make a agreement about how to remain…satisfied. How about me new girl? Trust me, I could satisfy whatever Stefan neglected when those babies were made.”, Damon refuses to let Stefan have this charade play on. And if Stefan really cared for this girl and her brats might as well place doubts here and there that would make it fall apart. But what Damon didn’t expect was for his brother to snap and tackle him to the ground. Hailey stood shocked before she turned to the Originals in a panic. Klaus hurriedly handed her Caelan and went to go and separate the brothers. To humans it looked like an average brutal fight but if it escalated then they would notice large indents being made in human bodies that could not be explained.

Stefan had completely lost it when his brother offered himself to Hailey. His vampire was insulted and angry at Damon’s insinuating at him not pleasing his mate. But he was still in control and was fighting Damon in a way that appeared humanly but actually had the force that would have left a normal guy with his stomach across the room. Damon was shocked but focused back on the fight, he was trying to punch his brother anywhere he could but Stefan had the upper hand with more training and not relying solely on his super strength. It looked to the crowd that Stefan was just repeatedly punching Damon in the face while Damon was unsuccessful to punch him back. Elena had decided to intervene thinking that they were fighting over her and was yelling at Stefan to get off Damon. Stefan of course ignored her and kept going. Klaus had managed to come and pull Stefan away. Rebekah handed Hailey, Cedar when she noticed Damon getting up and trying to finish what he started and went to go and hold him back. But both were trying to get to the other in hopes of taking his brother down. The boys were feeling a lot of negative vibes and started crying.

That spurred their mother, to do something. She understands that Stefan’s vampire wouldn’t let Damon’s remark go unpunished but the boys were taking a toll off the negative energy. And she’ll be damned before she lets her mates brother continue to make her babies cry. “Stefan please!”, at the sound of her voice he stopped and looked to her, he looked down at the boys to see them crying. He stood straight and looked at his feet in shame, how could he let his family see him like this? He didn’t hear Hailey walking towards him so was shocked when he he saw her feet near his. He looked up expecting to see her face of disappointment but was relieved to see her looking at him in understanding and with a little concern. The boys calmed down when close to their father and sensed he was okay. She brushed a tender spot on his cheek, Damon got one good hit in.

“Are you okay?”, she asked with her hand still on his face. He looked to her then to their boys who were strapped back on to her, cuddled up to her chest. He placed his hand on top of hers that was still on his face and placed a lingering kiss to her lips. When he pulled back she was flushed but had a smile on. He looked over her shoulder to see Klaus and Rebekah handing a very bloody and bruised faced Damon to the gang. He was placated now, his family was in his arms and his brother now had an understanding that he was not to be trifled with when concerning his mate. He ignored Elena’s pleading looks to meet eyes and her disappointed gaze. He looked straight back into Hailey’s loving one and put a hand on the boy’s backs.

“I am now.”, he answered with a terse smile.

“Alright everyone out!”, said a exasperated Matt and Jeremy. The other occupants of the grill scurried out taking out their phones to text and call anyone they know about the newest gossip in Mystic Falls. A fight between the Salvatore’s over a girl that wasn’t Elena Gilbert, the new status of the younger Salvatore, and everything they learned about the new girl, Hailey Potter.

With the other occupants out there was only two groups left. The Scooby gang and Team Stefan. Elena was going to march up to Stefan and that girl to break whatever moment they were having. What the hell are they planning they already had Elena!? She was stopped when Klaus and Rebekah stepped in front of her, both had very dark looks.

“Listen here dopplebitch, control your pet! Deal with my brother or not if he tries going after Hailey I’ll tear him to shreds and feed whatever pieces left to the puppies of Nik’s pack! You touch her and Stefan will personally deal with you!”, Rebekah said in a thunderous voice. It was a miracle that they didn’t have to contain a feral ripper, if Damon had touched Hailey after what he said Stefan would have done a lot worse in a open crowd. Elena looked to Klaus expecting to see him glower at Rebekah for threatening her but was shocked to see him silently nodding along.

“You have no idea who she is, Ms.Gilbert. You have no idea what she means to us, to Stefan. You lot leave her and her family alone. Deal or not if your friends can’t respect this rule I will tear each of you apart and paint this town red with your blood. As for you Ms.Gilbert all I need is for your heart to beat and produce blood in no way does that save you from this. I could just simply have you in a coma and bleed you dry. Stay away from Ms. Potter and you get to live you life, simple as that.”, he finished off his threat by flashing his eyes towards the group the huddled together. Elena’s eyes got teary and Damon had a face full of rage. Both look to Stefan but he was facing away from them. Their first date could have gone better but they could head back to Klaus’s mansion to get Hailey some food. He picked her up gently with the boys and sped out of the grill. The Original siblings send one final glare before speeding out leaving the group in silence to think out everything. Caroline had never seen Klaus like this, it caused her undead heart to skip a beat. Jeremy and Matt were wondering what mess would Elena and Damon pull them into again. Bonnie was left in silence thinking of the strange feeling coming off of the new residents of Mystic Falls. Alaric was exasperated and dreading the drama this would bring. Damon and Elena stood near each other both brimming with jealousy and rage. At Klaus’s mansion everyone was in smiles when Hailey’s phone rang. She answered and had to pull the phone from her ear.

“HAILEY JAMIE POTTER WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE YOU!!”, seems her werewolf uncle has been worried.

Oops.
