*S01E10 - The Turning Point*

It's been a couple months since Nik and Clover met and it honestly has been the best months of her life. Every weekend she would leave Mystic Falls and apparate to New York with Teddy who adored Nik and Nik adored him as well.

Which brought the memory of them meeting to her mind.

*Flashback*

Two weeks after Clover and Nik met

"Teddy?"

"Yes, Mama?"

"How would you like to go away with me this weekend?"

His eyes lit up.

"Really?! I get to go with you?"

"Yep, and I have someone I want you to meet. Is that okay?"

"Yes, Mama."

That weekend

"Okay, Teddy close your eyes and dont open them until I tell you to, okay?"

"Okay, Mama."

Clover held him in her arms, pictured Nik's hotel room and spun on her heel, disappearing with a loud crack that echoed throughout the house.

With another loud crack, they appeared in Nik's hotel room.

"Teddy you can open your eyes now." Clover said, bending down and kissing his cheek after she put him down.

Teddy looked around his surroundings with bright eyes, taking it all in.

The bedroom door opened, revealing Nik standing there with a small smile on his face.

"Hello, love." Teddy turned around to face Nik as Clover smiled at her mate.

"Hello, Nik. I brought someone for you to meet." Nik's blue eyes moved down to where Teddy was now peeking out from behind his godmother's legs at him. Nik crouched down and made eye contact with the little boy, knowing that he was very important to Clover.

"Hello, Teddy, your mother has told me all about you. My name is Nik."

Teddy's eyes widened. "Really?"

"Yup. And even told me about how you love transformers." Reaching into his pocket, Nik drew out toy Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. Teddy grinned and moved closer to Nik, reaching out for the toys.

Clover clearing her throat, reminding Teddy of something. "Thank you, Mr Nik!" He squeaked out and snatched the two toys out of the man's hands and over to the couch to play. Nik rose to his feet and pulled his mate close to him, finally kissing her in greeting.

"I've missed you." Clover whispered, her face buried in his chest as he hugged her to his chest and buried his face in her hair.

"As have I, love. Soon, we'll be together all of the time, and not just on weekends."

"That's what keeps me going, the knowledge that we will all be together."

They continued to talk, watching Teddy as he played.

Nik then pulled back, looking down at her.

"I've narrowed down where my brother Elijah is and would very much like you to be there when I meet with him in a couple months when I know where he really is."

"Of course I'll be there."

*End Flashback*

And that's what has brought them to this moment in time. While the Mystic Falls gang had their own drama with the tomb vampires, John Gilbert, and Katherine, Clover and Nik were on their way to meet Elijah, Nik's older brother, while Winky watched over Teddy in the hotel room.

Nik and Clover pulled up in front of the diner Elijah had chosen to meet at and just stayed in the car for a moment as Nik tried to hide the stress and nerves he felt.

"He hates me."

"No, he hates that what you've told him about your family is true. Tell him the whole truth, Nik, and why."

He leaned over and kissed her on the lips. "I love you."

"I love you."

Nik got out of the car and sped over to open Clover's door for her.

"This is a cute little diner in this little town. What's this town called again, Nik?"

"Riverdale, I believe."

Nik held the diner door open for here before placing his hand on her back and guiding her towards a brown haired man wearing a suit and drinking a cup of coffee.

Nik allowed Clover to sit in the booth first before sliding in after her, not missing that Elijah's eyes had not left Clover's form since they had entered.

Nik already guessed that Elijah was one of Clover's other mates. Well, at least it isn't Kol, he thought to himself. Or worse, Finn.

"Niklaus, always a pleasure to see you. And your companion?" Elijah asked, taking a sip of his coffee.

"Brother, I would like you to meet Clover, our mate."

Both Clover's and Elijah's head snapped towards Nik.

"Our?" They asked. Nik nodded with a smirk.

"Yes, brother, love. Elijah already is looking at you the way I did and still do when I first saw you all of those months ago. And you yourself said you would have more mates. It just happens to be that Elijah here is one of them." Clover looked over and met the older vampire's brown gaze and blushed, turning and hiding her face in Nik's chest, causing him to kiss her head automatically. "But I fear before we can progress further on anymore pleasent topics, we should talk business first."

"And so we shall." Clover could feel the tension between them crackling with restrained energy.

"He didn't do it."

Both snapped their eyes to their mate.

"Do what?" Elijah asked, Nik already knowing what she was speaking about.

"He didn't throw your brothers and sister into the ocean. He is keeping them safe from your father until he has been dealt with permanentally and will undagger them when that happens." Elijah jolted slightly as Clover's small hand reached forward and clasped one of his own hands in one of her's while the rest of her still leaned against Niklaus. "And for us to reach that goal, we all need to work together, okay? And that means no daggering Elijah, Nik, or you'll be on the couch for at least a year. And no planning on killing Nik, or you won't even get a kiss from me for two years."

The two brothers shared amused glances at their mate trying to get them to agree but knew they would do as she ordered them anyways. She was their world now.
