The New Kol Mikaelson

1 - How it all started

Gabriels POV

I just walked home from my 38 hour shift in the hospital. I had three emergency surgeries after the other surgeon called in sick. I'm a brain surgeon, so it wasn't that easy. I was only one available and let me tell you, it was heck of a day. I managed to save them all, but I was tired. I was physically in a good shape, but it was more mentally tiring.

I walk in and throw my shoes on the side. I walk in and go straight to my fridge. I grab a cold water bottle and I drink it all at once. I sigh at the amazing feeling and close my eyes to just relax for a moment. My peaceful moment is ruined by my loud stomach who needs food.

I take a pan out from one of the cabinets. I put in on the stove after filling it with water. I wait till the water starts to boil. With rubbing my eyes I take two pieces of chicken noodles ready to wait. After the water boils I put the noodles in with their spices and wait till they are ready.

After four or so minutes I sit down at the table to eat my noodles in peace. I open my laptop and go trough what needed to be done at work the following days. I decide to call my family now that I was still awake and actually have some free time from work.

I loved my family more than anything. I was the middle child out of eight children. Yeah I have a big family and my parents are quite active ones. I have two older brothers, one older sister, then there is me, two younger sisters and two younger brothers. All of my younger siblings still lived at home and one of my older brothers was still at home after he divorced his husband.

I call my mother from my laptop and soon enough all of my siblings who were home were displayed on the screen along my parents. I smile widely. They all yell hello's and other greetings. "Hey monkeys. How are you?" I ask and everyone of them explains in turns how they have been or what they have done excited.

I enjoy hearing my siblings feeling happy. Even my older brother who went trough the divorse is feeling better.

"How are you darling?" My mother asks. I sigh and slide my hand over my face. "I just finisihed over 35 hours shift in the hospital. Our other surgeon called in sick just before our shift and I had to do three emergency surgeries but I feel fine thank you. How are you and father?" I ask smiling trying to get the attention of me. Father pops up on the screen.

"Your old man is kicking just fine and your mother still whines about my obsession with cars." He says earning a playful smack on the back of his head from mother and laughs from all of us children. "I'm proud of you son. I love you." He adds and smiles to the camera and I can't help but smile back. "Thanks Father. Love you too." I say and my mother takes the possibly laptop back to in front of her.

"I was actually thinking that maybe monkeys could come and stay with me for a couple of days? I've earned couple days off and it would be fun. And then it would be weekend so I'm in no hurry." I hear many footsteps and soon all four younger ones are visible on the screen. "Yes! Are you serious? When?" They bomb me with questions. I laugh.

"Please calm down. You have to ask Mother and Father." I say and they start to discuss it. They are always eager to come and visit me since I admit, I have fair amonut of extra money and I live comfortably. I like to spoil my younger siblings because I love them more than anything. Of course I also love my older ones, they just do just fine by theirselfs.

"Okay. They can come. But no more ice cream overload!" Mother says sternly and points at me. With a seepish smile I raise my hands up in surrender. "I promise. If I pick them up day after tomorrow?" They agree. "Okay cool. I have to go now, good night monkeys, Night mother, father. I love you all so much." I say to the camera and I get from all of them 'love yous and good nights'.

I almost end the call when a small voice speaks up. "Gabie?" I see my youngest sister, who happens to be youngest out of all of us. "Yes little monkey?" I smile at her. "I love you Gabie. Good night big brother." She smiles and does our hand signal only we do and know. "I love you too. Really much. Night Little one." I smile and do the signal. The call ends and I shut the laptop screen.

I sigh and glance at the watch. It was pretty late so I decide to go bed. I walk to my bathroom and take a good shower after all of that work, even when I went earlier after my shift at the hospital. I walk to my bedroom shirtless wearing only sweatpants. I glance at myself from the mirror. I'm pretty happy about how I look.

I flop down on the bed and savour the best feeling ever. I close my eyes and just let the sleep take me after a long time without it.

A/N: Finally it's here. I'm sorry that the first chapter is shorter, but I promise they will be longer in the future.

I also wanted to just focus in this chapter on how important Gabriels family is to him, so you can see the differences between him and Kol. I really hope I can pull this out good enough. Thanks for reading❣
