Always & Forever A Mikaelson {Sequel to Klaus' Daughter Is A Lockwood}

Bedrooms, Lust, Family and the Future

PLANTATION HOUSE

Nicole and Jeremy went upstairs to pick out Jeremy's room. "You know!" They both stopped on the stairs and turned to Rebekah who was standing at the foot of the steps. "I'm not your father so if you two want to share a room, I can keep a secret." She winked at them both. Jeremy and Nicole looked at each other. Nicole was wide eyed and embarrassed but Jeremy was just smiling at her like it was a good idea. Nicole began to blush like crazy and walked up the stairs quicker. Once at the top of the stairs Nicole walked into her once familiar room. "Woah. Nice colors. Totally you." Jeremy said taking in Nicole's room. She had mint green walls with tan accent carpeting, curtains, and furniture. The ceiling was what made her pick this room. It was a vaulted ceiling with the original wood just painted over with a light brown paint. "Thanks, I did the walls all by myself." Nicole says which made Jeremy smile.

Jeremy cleared his throat. "So, am I staying in your room or do you want me to find another room?" Jeremy asks from behind Nicole. She opened the closet door, dropped her bags and turned to Jeremy. "Jer, I think for now we should get you your own room but if it comes to sharing a bed once in a while; well I could be okay with that." Nicole replied with a sexy smirk which drove Jeremy insane. The lust was so clear in his eyes. Nicole didn't realize how badly he wanted her. "Jer, I can see how much you want to be with me but just remember what comes with it once it's over." Nicole was trying to calm him down. "Yeah and what's so bad about that? We'd be together for good." Nicole had no answer for him. Jeremy put one hand on her cheek while his fingertips grazed through her hair. "What is stopping you from letting me make love to you?" Jeremy asks making her look into her eyes. "Have you even told Elena or Bonnie about this whole thing?" Nicole asks already knowing his answer. Guilt took over his features. "No, no I didn't." He dropped his hand from her face. "Call Elena, tell her what's going on. Tell her if she wants specific details she'll have to call Klaus." Nicole says trying to reason with him. "I don't know how she's gonna react." Jeremy was scared. "I'm sure she'll be okay after a while." Nicole gave him a small smile. "Let's get you a room." Nicole pulled him to the room that was next to her.

She unlocked the door and revealed a gorgeous light tan painted room with white canvas' on the walls above the head board. The bed in itself was fir for a king. Velvet sleigh bed with white and brown bedding with 8 pillows. A nightstand on each side of the bed and a gun metal twig chandelier completed the room. "Woah, who's room is this?" Jeremy asks looking around in awe. "It's a guest room. Dad likes to make everyone who stays with us feel like royalty. He certainly did when I moved in with them." Nicole says reminiscing. Jeremy studied her as she just stared off into space. "Are you happy with them?" He asks breaking the silence. She snapped out of her thoughts and looked at him. "Yeah. I mean they're the Originals. Everyone knows being related to them comes with a price but it's better than nothing." Jeremy nodded. "You didn't have 'nothing' in Mystic Falls. You had a family." He said quietly. She furrowed her brow. "Yeah, but they weren't MY family. My blood. It's different." Jeremy couldn't understand. "How? Elena's not my blood but I still think she's my sister." He tried to understand. "She's your cousin Jeremy. By being your Uncle John's daughter she's technically your cousin by blood. So she still is your family. The Lockwood's really had no choice but to take me in." Jeremy nodded now understanding what she meant.

Nicole showed him that again they had to share a bathroom, the tv, and where the clean linens were. "Ok, I'm gonna call Elena." Jeremy says taking a deep breath. "Ok, I'm gonna see in my grimoires if there's a spell to control my turning and get a protection spell for you and Hayley just to be safe." Nicole says smiling. Nicole was walking when jeremy suddenly pulled her into his arms and kissed her nose. "Ew why?" Nicole asks laughing. "Cause I wanted to." Jeremy says smugly. Nicole just shakes her head at him and tries to walk out but is again pulled into his arms. "Jeremy, I have things to do." She says sternly. "I know you do." He replies tightening his grip on her waist. "Okay Gilbert, I demand you let me go right now before I knee your family jewels." Nicole gave a serious face. "Hey those are our kids, I don't think you'd wanna do that." He says chuckling. Realization suddenly hit Nicole. Kids. Jeremy was going to be the father of her children. If she was gonna even be able to have children. Was she going to be turned before she could have kids? Was she going to grow old with Jeremy? Were they both going to be vampires one day? Jeremy saw her expression change and her eyes water as she was thinking about it. "Nic, what is it? What's wrong?" He shook her out of her thoughts. She quickly composed herself and faked a smile. "Nothing, I just realized you're gonna be the father of my children and I'm... just happy. Whoo! Okay, now I gotta go." She pecked Jeremy on the lips, ran out of his room and into her own. She quickly locked the door and slid down crying silent tears.
