Can We Save Them?

Chapter 9

POV Elena:

While they are talking about how to break the linking spell, I disconnect and think about what the kids said.

Since I started to date with Stefan and knew that he was a vampire, I already knew that my dream of having kids could not be achieved, even when we broke up, I did not have high hopes, because it seemed that everyone around me expected me to end with Stefan or Damon.

I do not even love or like Damon, why would they think that I could end together? And with what was happening with Stefan, I had started to think if I still love him and I have concluded that I love him, but that I'm not in love with him anymore.

And then, yesterday when I saw Kol, I do not know, something in me stirred. He was such a gentleman, he also helped me get away from Damon and he is also so handsome. And now, the kids that had stayed with Damon and Stefan this last days tell us that are from the future and 5 of the kids are mines and Kol's kids. Not only that, but it seems that Kol is also my soulmate and that in less than a year we may be married.

It is just so surreal; in less than 24 hours my world has been turned upside down.

Then, I think about my future kids, they did say that their middle names were somewhat like a giveaway of who their godparents are. So, for Henrik is Jeremy and for Hannah is Rebekah, then for Nora is Hayley, who seems to be Hope's mother, and for Grayson is Klaus. Who are Miranda's godparents and why does it seem that neither Caroline nor Bonnie were the godmothers of neither of my children?

Maybe, my relationship with them was strained after I married Kol, who is an Original, or maybe they are the godmother of Henrik, Grayson or Miranda, and they just did not say it.

I continue thinking about it until I see the time, is late at night.

"I think I should be going home." I interrupt whatever they may be talking about.

"You could stay Elena." Rebekah claims, while glaring at her brothers to agree.

"I'd love to, but the Salvatore would visit tomorrow in the morning to make sure that I'm there, so I think that I should go."

Rebekah then pouts a little until she seems to get an idea and elbows his brother, Kol.

"Can I accompany you?" He, then, asks. I think a little and then nod, it would not hurt letting him accompany me.

"What are you going to do about the spell?" I ask before we leave.

"We are going to unlink us, tonight, we already have all we need." Hannah says and I nod.

They will be unlinked by tomorrow, so even if Esther and Finn want to try something they will not be able to kill them all.

After saying goodbye, Kol and I leave the mansion and start making our way to my house.

About 10 minutes later of us walking in silence, I decide to break it.

"So, what did you think about what the kids said?" I ask him.

"I don't know." Kol admits. "Ever since we became vampire, I abandoned the thought of me ever becoming a father, I didn't even think that I could recover my magic."

"I also abandoned the thought of being a mother, even if I'm not a vampire, everyone around me seems so focused in thinking that I will end with Stefan or Damon, that I think that I started believing it too." I say a bit overwhelmed.

"So, you don't actually like them?" Kol asks me.

"I think I like them as friends, just that, maybe at the beginning I did like Stefan, but not anymore." I confess what has been in my mind.
