Birthday Surprises

I'm so sorry that this chapter took me as long as it did but I lost inspiration for a bit even though there's only life four chapters left... But here it finally is.

Enjoy,

The morning of Luna's birthday was a quiet one. Klaus had brought Luna to his room just after Esther had arrived and stayed with her, just talking for a while until the four-year-old fell asleep on him. It came to a surprise to all of the Mikaelsons when Damon, Stefan and Caroline came with several wrapped gifts in their hands.

"What are you doing here?" Rebekah frowned at them.

Damon shrugged "It's Luna's birthday. Why wouldn't we be here."

"It's what?" Elijah questioned, stepping out of the living room.

"You would have known if you hadn't shut me up yesterday," the older Salvatore pointed out in annoyance "Luna is five today. Can we give her the presents now?"

Elijah licked his lips "Yes, yes. Of course." He sent a look to Rebekah who nodded. The female Original would go out and get Luna some presents from all of them. She sent a quick text to Kol, Klaus and Elijah, telling them to send her a text with the specifications before walking out. Rebekah needed a dress for the Ball anyway and so did Luna. The Mikaelson siblings were less than pleased about the whole thing but their mother insisted on throwing a Ball tonight.

"Hey, Little Moon," Damon knelt down in front of his niece "Happy birthday."

Luna threw her arms around her uncle "Thank you, Uncle Dami."

"Luna, why didn't you tell us?" Klaus questioned, looking down at his daughter.

The now five-year-old shrugged "Not important. Don't like my birthday..."

"Well, we can't have that now, can we?" Caroline spoke up cheerfully, holding up four small boxes "Here. These are from me, Tyler, Alaric and Jenna. Might want to open Damon's gift first though."

Stefan put down a bigger box with three smaller boxes on top "Here you go, Luna."

"The bigger one is the one I wanted to give you before Rose took you to Disney," Damon explained "The two here are from Stefan and I and this one is from Rose. She says sorry that she couldn't be here."

Luna chewed on her lip and grabbed the smaller boxes first. She wasn't used to getting as many presents. There were more than she got in several years from her mother. Not that she minded. Luna had seen her mother struggling and as such didn't expect to get presents for her birthday or Christmas. The first box she unwrapped was a thick silver bracelet that was a little bit too big for her wrist but not enough to slip from her hand. The second and third boxes held a heart charm that Damon strung up on the chord for her and a rabbit charm that joined the first. Luna looked up at her uncle uncertainly, looking at the bigger box.

"Go on," Damon urged gently and watched as Luna unwrapped the skates he had gotten her "What do you think?"

"I love it," Luna whispered, tears filling her eyes. How did he know that she wanted skates? Ever since she first saw children skating when she lived with her mother...

Caroline knelt down "Here. Open these next."

After opening all the presents she had gotten, Luna had a pair of skates and a charms bracelet with several charms on it. A heart from Stefan and Damon, a rabbit from Rose, an angel from Caroline, a moon from Jenna, Cinderella's carriage from Alaric – that one made her laugh. She made the man watch the movie with her so often that by the time Stefan returned, he could repeat the film line by line – and a wolf from Tyler.
