"The answer is no" Annabelle said as she crossed her arms. The triplets stood up and in front of their parents. "But why? They're our family too" Ellie said. Annabelle looked at her daughter and slowly said "I stopped being part of that family 15 years ago". Chris looked at his kids then at his wife. He took one step towards the triplets and placed his hands on Anthony's and Diego's cheek as Annabelle did the same to Ellie. "We can show you" Chris whispered. They all closed their eyes as Chris and Annabelle showed them past.
Flashback 2019
Andrea and Hope were 7 years old. They played in backyard at the Mikaelson mansion. As they were collecting flowers for their mom and aunts they noticed a butterfly with broken wing. Hope and Andrea looked at each other and then back at butterfly. Hope cupped her hands above flower and butterfly's wing started moving before butterfly flew away. Andrea just stared at Hope for few seconds before they both went to house. As they run to house Andrea jumped on Kol's lap as Hope jumped on Klaus' lap. "Hope saved butterfly in forest!" Andrea said with smile as everyone looked at her and Hope slightly confused. "What do you mean by that, darling?" Kol asked. Andrea and Hope looked at each other before Hope said "It had broken wing so I cupped my hands above flower it was on and the butterfly just flew away". Everyone stared at Hope. Klaus picked her up as everyone, but Kol and Finn walked in house. Andrea looked at her sister as she was carried inside. "Uncle Finn, what's going on?" Andrea asked worried. Finn looked at her with simpathic look in his eyes. "Hope has found out she's witch. So they have to help her how to use magic" Finn said slowly. Andrea looked at her lap and cuddled in Kol's chest. Andrea was born like human and because everyone thought that Hope is just a vampire they didn't want to turn her. After that day, Andrea became invisible to her parents and family. She only had her two uncles by her side.
End of flashback
Triplets blinked a few times before looking at their mother. "For 10 years I was invisible to my family. The only ones that cared about me were Finn and Kol. Do you understand now?" Annabelle asked. The triplets nodded. Diego grabbed his daylight ring, put it on his finger and walked to the Mystic Grill. As Diego walked in Grill he saw his best friend, Oliver Lockwood, at one table. He walked over to Oliver and sat in front of him. Oliver looked up from his notebook and smiled at the young Bennet. They pumped fists and started talking about random stuff at school. Diego noticed one girl standing on a chair and changing light bulbs. The chair flinched and the girl started to fall. Diego speeded to her and kneeled down on floor while catching her in his arms. "Hey" he whispered staring in her beautiful eyes. The girl blushed and smiled. "Hi" she whispered back. Diego helped the girl to stand up. "I'm Diego Bennet by the way" he said holding out his hand. The girl smiled shaking his hand saying "I'm Nikki Donavan". Nikki went to the back and Diego sat down with Oliver again. Diego stared at the spot where Nikki was moments ago. "I think you might be in love with my cousin" Oliver said countinuing to write in his notebook. Diego looked at Oliver confused until he said "Her father and my mother are brother and sister. Our fathers are also best friends since high school. But as her cousin, I'm allowing you to ask her out". Diego smiled at Oliver and looked at his notebook. Oliver smirked at Diego before shuting the book. As Diego stood up from table Nikki walked up to him. "I was wondering if you want to meet here next friday?" he asked. Nikki smiled and nodded, writing her number on paper and giving it to him. "Pick me up at 7" she winked and walked to the back. Diego and Oliver looked at each other before they both went to Diego's house. When they walked in Diego said "Go in living room. I have to get my guitar". As Oliver walked in the living room, he saw Ellie on the couch on her phone. He stared at her until she looked at him. "H-Hi. I'm Oliver Lockwood. Diego's best friend" Oliver said. Ellie chuckled and put her phone down. "I'm Ellie. Diego's older sister" she said with smile. Oliver sat on couch just in moment when Diego walked in with his guitar. "Hey sis. I think you two already met. Do you want to listen to us?" Diego asked. Ellie nodded and leaned her chin on her hand with big smile on her face. Diego started playing guitar and Oliver started singing.
When they were finally done Ellie started clapping. "That was awesome!" Ellie said. There was another clap and all turned around to see Anthony. He smiled and turned to walk to his room but instead he almost pumped in a girl but stopped. Their faces were inches away until Anthony took a step back. "Umm, I'm Anthony Bennet. And you are?" he asked taking her hand and kissing it. The girl smiled with a small bow. "I'm Luchia Castle. You must be Ellie's twin brother. I'm one of her best friends" she said with smile. Anthony returned smile before walking in his room with Diego and Oliver. Luchia walked in the living room where now both Ellie and Nikki were. Luchia sat down next to them and they started talking. "I'm in love with Diego" Nikki whispered to the girls. They both smiled and then Luchia said "I'm in love with Anthony". Both Luchia and Nikki looked at Ellie and she whispered "I'm in love with Oliver". All the girls laughed at their situation. Then Chris and Annabelle walked in with bags. "What did we miss?" Annabelle asked placing bags on table and starting unpacking. The girls looked at each other before Ellie nodded. "Well, mom, dad I'm in love with Oliver Lockwood, Luchia is in love with Anthony and Nikki is in love with Diego" Ellie said with little smile. Chris smiled and kissed Ellie on forehead. Annabelle chuckled and said "No matter how old she is, she'll always be daddy's little girl". Everyone laughed. Meanwhile, in Anthony's room boys were talking about random stuff. "I'm in love with Ellie" Oliver suddenly said. The Bennet brothers looked at each other then at Oliver. "Well, I'm in love with Nikki" Diego said. Now Oliver and Diego looked at Anthony. "I'm in love with Luchia" Anthony said. The boys laughed and smiled. "Boys! It's story time!" Annabelle yelled from downstairs. In the seconds boys were in the living room next to the girls. Annabelle and Chris were across them. "Okay what do you want to know?" Chris asked. Diego raised his hand and Chris nodded at him. "How old you were when you got us?" Diego asked. Chris and Annabelle shared a look before looking at the kids. "Well, I was 18 and your mother was 17. It actually happened by ancident" Chris said. Ellie told Chris to explain so he did. "Well, after I put Annabelle in coma by feeding on her and not pulling back I went to basemant where she was and saw her putting on her necklace then when she turned around and saw me we kissed and we had sex" Chris explained. The kids looked at them before Oliver raised his hand. "What's the best day of your realationship?" Oliver asked. Annabelle smiled and took Chris' hand before answering "It's our wedding day". Then Chris added "Because on that morning we got married and on that night the triplets were born". The boys went to Diego's room and the girls went to Ellie's room. Annabelle and Chris walked in their bedroom and layed on bed. "I love you" Chris whispered in her ear. "I love you too" she whispered back before they both driffted to sleep...
