Chapter 17: dances and spells

Meredith was sitting in mystic-grill with Klaus. They shared a cheese cake, when Damon stepped in with very tired looking Alaric.

"You are still alive." Said Damon. "Yes Damon, I have notice this." Said Klaus, smirking. "But that thing that came out of the locked coffin were supposed to kill you," said Damon. "You mean my mother?" asked Klaus. "It was your mother?!" asked Damon, surprised.

"Do you want to sit down?" asked Meredith. "You are asking them to join us?" asked Klaus. "Yes, you do?" asked Damon. "That's what I said, didn't I?" asked Meredith. "Amm… o.k." said Damon and they sat down, ordering some bourbon.

"Here is the thing; I want to get rid of her." Said Meredith. "It's a new record in bride-mother in law relationship." Said Damon. "Funny. She is up to something, and I think it going to hurt us all." Said Meredith. "Or that you are just saying it, so you can save your boyfriend's life."  Said Damon. "Damon it's me, I was your friend until five months ago." Said Meredith. "Yes, before you start sleeping with him," said Damon. "I am not you Damon; I am not just sleeping with people. I fell in love, and I am pregnant." Said Meredith.

"What?!" asked Alaric. "Exactly what he said, what?!" said Damon. Meredith stood up and held the dress close to her body, so her belly wasn't hidden anymore. She sat back down. "Wait, you are five months pregnant and you succeeded to hide it with dresses?" asked Alaric. "Yes. You never actually tried to be my friends again, so it was pretty easy." Said Meredith sadly. "Why didn't you tell us? He wasn't here and you were all alone, we could have helped you, or just be there for you." Said Damon softly. "You didn't want to. At the moment you heard that I am in love with Nick you saw me as a problem, dangerous. Why would I ask your help?" she asked.

Klaus looked at her. She really suffered because of him. He hold her hand under the table and she smiled at him. Damon cleared his throat. He like Meredith, he always did. She always was smart and peaceful, without the drama that come with teenage girls. He should have check on her.

"You alright Damon?" asked Meredith. "Sure. So what do you think is going on?" asked Damon. "Well, I don't know. Did you get an invitation to the ball?" she asked. "No. but Elena did, and the original witch asked to speak with her in privet." said Damon.

"That is not good." Said Meredith. "What do you mean?" asked Klaus. "Damon and Stefan are not invited personally, so she hope that Elena will come alone, and the fact that she want to speak with the doppelganger means that she need her blood for some spell." Explained Meredith. "Elena said that she is not going." Said Damon. "It means she is going and don't want you to come." Said Meredith. Damon smiled, his dark eyes sparkling.  "That's why we are going." Said Damon. "We? You mean both of you?" asked Klaus. "Yep. Me and my grumpy little brother." Said Damon. "That's good." Said Meredith. "It is?" asked Klaus. "Yes, we should work together; I am telling you, she is up to something really bad, for all of us." Said Meredith.

A phone call stopped their conversation. "Hi Eli." Said Meredith. "Who is Eli?" asked Damon quietly. "Arrr… my brother." Mumbled Klaus. "Your brother? You mean, like Elijah?" asked Damon. "Yes. This pregnancy make her crazy," whispered Klaus. "I heard that," said Meredith with her hand on the phone. "Sorry." Said Klaus and she got back to her call. Damon smirked. "O.k. bye." Said Meredith and hang up her cellphone.

"Esther is acting pretty normal, except that she talks a lot with Finn." Said Meredith. "So?" asked Damon. "Finn is my oldest brother. He was in the coffin for nine hundred years because he annoyed me. He was moping around saying 'we should not live.' 'We are monsters, abomination.' Totally grumpy about what we are." Said Klaus. "Ha. I think I can see the problem if he is join to the witch." Said Damon. "I think of her as the witch-bitch." Said Meredith. Klaus frowned. "This pregnancy makes you different." Said Damon. "Very different." Alaric agreed. "I like it." Said Damon and Meredith laughed. Klaus smiled, hearing her laugh. He love it, and everything else about her.
