A Journey to Love

Drop of Five

Chapter 33: Drop of Five

Klaus and Damon went one way to search for witches and Elijah and Alaric went another way. Everyone else was left at home for the babies' protection. Caroline had tried to convince Klaus to stay but he felt that finding the witches was a necessity for protecting their family. They would be fine as long as they stayed in the house and Esther wouldn't be able to get in. He promised that he would be back in two days. Kol and Rebekah were in charge because they were originals along with the witches.

Caroline sat on her bed feeding Zane along with Katherine and Elena. It was such a funny scene watching the two doppelgangers sit side by side helping to feed the babies. Klaus hated the idea of either of them touching the babies but with a little convincing from Elijah and Caroline he finally let it go. However, he kept a close watch on them. Katherine had grown on Caroline through her pregnancy and after the babies were born. She had given her great tips during her pregnancy. Caroline felt a little sad knowing that Katherine's child was taken away from her right after she had given birth. She couldn't imagine how she'd feel if any of her three babies were taken. Even the mere thought of it scared her. At first everyone thought that Katherine was selfish and callous however, the longer she stayed with Elijah the more humanity she showed. It seemed as if she was just waiting for a free chance at life without the fear of death from Klaus.

Caroline looked at the identical faces in front of her. The way they looked down at the babies with such adoration and emotion made her wonder about so many different questions. Elena and Katherine didn't talk to each other much and kept their distance most of the time.

"Are you done Sweetie?" Katherine said as she picked up Eliza and burped her. Caroline smiled and once Zane was finished she burped him.

"I never thought I would be around babies so much," Katherine said.

"Me neither," Caroline said. "Especially after I became a vampire." Elena nodded in agreement.

"During my five hundred years on the run, once in a while I would go to the hospital and look at the babies in the ward trying to imagine what my daughter would have looked like," Katherine confessed. She tried to cover up her emotion though a little seeped out. There was silence. Neither Caroline nor Elena knew what to say.

"Did you find out about her later?" Caroline asked after awhile. "I mean to see if she had a happy life."

"I did and I think that was one time I was truly happy. I found out that she fell in love and ran away with this boy. They got married and had a happy life together," Katherine said.

"Huff, Petrovas. So scandalous," Elena said and smiled.

"Look who's talking," Katherine smirked.

"I heard something about scandalous Petrovas," Kol said as he walked in.

"Nothing that concerns you," Katherine said.

"Well it kind of does because it seems like the vampire race revolves around them," Kol said.

"Kol!" Caroline said.

"Remember Tatia?" Kol said. Caroline rolled her eyes.

"Don't even talk about it. If Stefan wasn't there to remind me that I can't kill her, I would've," Caroline said. Kol laughed.

"What happened?" Elena asked. Katherine also had an eager look on her face wanting to know more.

"Would you like to do the honours and tell them the story," Caroline said.

"Well, I was actually here for my niece and nephews but I can tell them the story," Kol said. Kol started by telling Elena and Katherine about how Tatia was playing both Klaus and Elijah. He told them that when Caroline came to the village, Tatia felt threatened and tried many ways to get rid of her. They laughed when they heard Caroline had a cat fight with Tatia and beat her. He also told them how Elijah always tried to protect Tatia.
