Vampire Diaries (with a twist) [COMPLETE]

Family ties

Elijah:there you are! I was beginning to think you've run off again (his smile fades away) why are you crying sweetheart? (Holds her)
Maria:I've been keeping something from everyone,I wasn't sure until I had my mother perform a spell
Elijah:what spell? What's going on?
Maria:it's about Joshua.....
Elijah:what is it?

Elena:I could really go for some pizza right now
Bonnie:yes girl,I think that would be perfect right now
Caroline:I'd prefer sex but whatever
Elena looks at Bonnie
Caroline:what? I'm just saying (continues painting her nails)

Stefan:I love her with all my heart Damon
Damon:I know and I know how she feels about you.. this stuff with Joshua is killing her
Stefan:why? I accepted it.. It was my own fault for pushing her away because of all this drama
Damon:okay now you can't blame yourself,you both were at different mindsets than now
Stefan:I love Joshua
Damon:I know you do buddy (smiles) I know
Stefan hugs Damon

Elijah:Aleksa you've got to speak to me,what is it? (Wipes her eyes) please... (Holds her chin up)
Maria:(Inhales)Stefan is not Joshua's father
Elijah:what now?
Maria:Stefan knows already,I haven't kept it from him in fact the night I found out I was pregnant I wasn't sure either
Elijah:so Emilia did a spell and you know who the father is?
Maria:I've always known love,I'm not a slut (frowns)
Elijah:(hugs her) That's not what I meant
Maria:you were thinking it..
Elijah:never (kisses her head) never ever...
Maria:(puts her head on his chest and closes her eyes) it's Niklaus
She can hear Elijah almost stop breathing
She doesn't move and for a while they just stand there
Elijah:does he....
Maria:Niklaus doesn't know...
Elijah:and Joshua?
Maria:he knows,Stefan helped him understand
Elijah:I see...
He goes quite but continues to hold her
Maria:say something....
Elijah:Joshua is my nephew.. my blood (he holds Maria's face) you must tell Niklaus
Maria:I know.. I'm just worried he'll hate me
Elijah:he'll never hate you.. that's not possible
Maria:I feel so terrible,I had to basically beg my own daughter not to tell her father the truth
Elijah:this will all be sorted out and I promise I'll be by your side the whole time
Maria nods and sighs

Klaus:Nothing could make me more happier than to have my child back ... my empire.. my family...
Marcel:it's exactly the way it should be,everything we've been fighting for...It's all here
Klaus:(smiles) we must start with renovations,I can't have my daughters living in this mess
Marcel:I'll get Diego to sort it out
Klaus:thank you..
Marcel leaves

Marcel:Maria!!
Maria:(jumps) you scared me! Marcellus! (She runs and hugs him)
Marcel:I've missed you too,wow look at you! what has it been? Like 5 years?
Maria:almost 6 (frowns and hugs him again)
Marcel:have you come for Piper,because she's out with Hayley and Hope
Maria:(smiles) ah no.. I've come to see Niklaus,is he busy?
Marcel:for you? Never (smiles) he's up in his study
Maria:thank you
Marcel:will you be here when I get back?
Maria:that's the plan (inhales and tries to relax)
Marcel:what's bothering you?
Maria:you'll find out soon enough
He looks confused for a bit then hugs her once more and leaves

Maria knocks
Klaus:Enter if you must... (Looks up) oh Aleksa.. you've been showing up here a lot lately (kisses her hands) please have a seat,I'd like to show you what I'm doing for Pipers room and renovations
Maria:actually.. We need to talk
Klaus:oh.. I don't like the sound of that.. You're not backing out now are you love?
Maria:No.. nothing like that,it's about Joshua
Klaus:oh? (Sits on the desk in front of her) what's wrong?
Maria:It's about Joshua
Klaus:is everything okay?
Maria:yes no.. he's fine...
Klaus:I don't understand... What's wrong?
Maria:do you remember when Stefan and I were broken up and fighting?
Klaus nods and sips his drink
Maria:when we...
Klaus:how could I forget that? (Smirks)
Maria:(shakes her head) anyway... I found out I was pregnant with Joshua around about the time Stefan and I decided to mend things.. I had my mother perform a spell
Klaus:what sort of spell?
Maria:I guess there's no other way to say this....
Klaus:what are you talking about love?
Maria:Joshua is... he's your son Niklaus...
Klaus:how long have you known?
Maria:Mother just confirmed it... but I guess a part of me has always known
Klaus:get out....
Maria looks at Elijah
Elijah:Niklaus that is very unnecessary
Maria:(stands up and gets her keys and coat) it's okay.. I'll leave
Klaus looks up like he wants to say something but turns around and faces the other way
She leaves
Elijah:Niklaus you're being very unfair
Klaus:don't speak to me about being unfair! My bloody son has been around for 1 year! 1 year Elijah!!! I find this out now
Elijah:she wasn't sure
Klaus:don't you defend her!
Elijah:forget it..(walks out)
Klaus' eyes starts tearing up and he throws the glass across the room
