AUTHORS NOTE
I skipped 2.12 as I didn't really see how I could fit Maddie into that one & there was no Elijah.
****

Maddie's head was a mess. She knew how Elijah had told her that they were bonded. She knew that it meant she wasn't able to be with anyone other than Elijah.

Maddie knew it was complicated. But it was a complication she got a thrill from. She felt like Elijah was good for her. And she couldn't help but want him again.

Morning came and so Maddie made her way downstairs. She groaned as she walked over to the coffee pot. "Good morning Madeline."

Maddie jumped a mile. She turned to see John Gilbert standing there. "What the fuck are you doing here?" She asked.

"Good to see you too Madeline," he said.

Maddie rolled her eyes and sighed. She looked to him. "That's not an answer dickwad. What are you doing here?"

John said nothing as Elena walked in. He smiled. "Coffee?"

"We're not doing that. We did that last night. Why are you here?" Elena asked as she looked to him.

Maddie turned to her. She frowned. "Why did you let him in? He's an ass," she told her.

Maddie knew all about how Katherine had cut off his fingers. But apparently that wasn't true. She looked to him. "So. Why are you here? Apart from the fact you're this idiots father."

John looked to Elena. "I'm here to protect Elena. That's all I can say for the moment," he told them.

Elena blinked in disbelief. She shook her head. "What do you mean that's all you can say?"

Maddie rolled her eyes. She scoffed. "Seriously?"

"I'll tell you more when I can trust you," John said, looking mainly towards Maddie.

Maddie rolled her eyes and sighed. She wasn't in the mood for this. Before anything, Jenna ran in. "Oh god. I'm late," she said.

Alaric was behind her. "That's what you get for hitting snooze three times," he told her.

Jenna was about to speak when she saw John. "What the hell?"

John looked between both Jenna and Alaric. "Good morning to you too. Jenna, Alaric," he said.

The older woman looked to John for a moment. Not expecting him to even be there. She turned to Maddie and Elena. "It's okay that I'm confused right?" She said.

Maddie nodded. "Agree. Im confused too. I came down for my coffee and uncle dickwad is here," she told her aunt with a shrug.

"We were not expecting you. Like ever," Jenna said.

"Well I got in late last night. Elena let me in," John told them.

Maddie scoffed. "Another mistake Bambi made," she mumbled as she downed her coffee.

Alaric looked uncomfortable. He sighed. "You know, I'm uh... probably just going to take off," he said as he turned and left.

"I'm still confused here," Jenna said, just wanting an answer from one of her nieces.

John shrugged. "I've decided go come back and stay for a while," he told them.

Jenna shook her head. "Not here you're not," she said as Maddie nodded her head.

"Actually. You can't stop me from living here," John said as he looked to Jenna.

"Actually, I can, as legal guardian."
