The women had settled themselves in the sitting room, feet were on the table, blanket and pillows were split between them. They had put on the film 'Love Actually', it was a fun Christmas film and it didn't need that much thought to know what was happening.

In the kitchen however wasn't so easy going, the men had found themselves preparing dinner for everyone. Now if it as just for the individual couples, it would be easier but this time they had to work round other people and feed eight mouths.

Luckily the meat had been defrosted beforehand, their girlfriends hadn't left them to fend for themselves completely. All they had to do was roast the ham and do the potatoes and vegetables. Even organising who was going to do what was a problem. No one wanted to do the vegetables or potatoes because it wasn't quick and easy.

In the end Matt got lumbered with the veg and Kol much to his protests had to peel lots of potatoes for mash and roasting. He couldn't understand why people ate two different types of potatoes, but maybe he was just thinking that because he had to do the work. From what everyone saw yesterday he sure enjoyed both types, even going as far to kick the mash of bs plate.

Elijah was handling the ham and some excess meat from yesterday's dinner, he had prepared it with all the herbs and flavourings, it was a sight to see with his pyjamas hidden underneath an apron that had floral patterns displayed all over it.

The kitchen was busy and noisy, luckily Bonnie had spelled the room to keep them from interrupting the movie. Lol was busy complaining about the dog.

"That damn dog wouldn't stop biting me, I think Bonnie spelled it too hate me." Lol moaned as he cut a peeled potatoes into three pieces.

"Looks like you've got competition brother, I saw the way your witch was attentive to the puppy. Seems to me you're getting replaced." Klaus teased easily, watching as Kol growled back at him.

"Wait...are you jealous of Lucy?" Matt asked trying to disguise his laughed, but it didn't seem to work as both Klaus and Elijah chuckled making himself do the same.

Matt was laughing and chopping carrots with haste when he felt a sting, when he looked down he saw the carrots were no longer orange, they looked like they had been dipped in blood and technically it was.

In his current state of shock Matt dropped the knife, and started to panic. He saw three pairs of eyes looking at him, Matt tried to speak but nothing happened and he felt the sudden urge to run to the door, although in all seriousness he couldn't outrun an original, or three for that matter.

So he did the only thing he could think of, Matt lifted his hands in an act of surrender. All he saw was the three vampires taking steps towards him. He was oblivious to the concerned looks on their faces and solely focus on one problem, he was bleeding and they were vampires.

"Please don't eat me!" Matt pleaded.

"Hey, I would dagger myself than listen to Bekah bite our eat off for the next century about harming her precious boyfriend. No ones eating you mate." Kol stated daily, not fazed by the blood dripping from Matts finger.

"We just want to check your hand Mr. Donovan" Elijah tried reason calmly.

Elijah didn't waste any time fixing his hand and calming him. Dinner seemed to be ruined but they then had the idea to not chuck away the carrots. Matt had created a new type of dinner, mixing fresh blood into your cooked food. What could be more perfect. But of course Matt and Bonnie had a bloodless dinner. His outburst was forgotten about as they continued to cook dinner.

No one knew what caused Matts little freak out but they didn't care, in fact they just found his actions to be amusing. The Mikaelson brothers didn't like the idea of their sister dating a human, but seeing how happy she was they chose to ignore it. Now Matt had become a part of their close nit group and even if they were unwilling to admit it, they would protect him with their lives.

After dinner was finally cooked, they all once again sat down to eat. The food looked delicious and to be honest the women were surprised that more things weren't burnt.

"This is to die for!" Caroline moaned out happily, as she chewed on a piece of food. She didn't fail to hear the grunts and held in chuckles pass her boyfriends lips.

"What's going on?..." Bonnie asked, the discreet passing between the brother peaked her interest.

"PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!" Kol screamed out dramatically, his arms were out in front of him as though he was trying to keep the devil away. Both Elijah and Klaus laughed at his imitation and everyone took notice of Matts flushed cheeks.

"Okay...we're missing something...what happened" Elena asked

Matt immediately responded with "Nothing" he kept his head down and played with the flood on his plate, he refused to meet anybody's gaze as he knew they were all looking at him.

"Well no matter what happened I'm just happy that everybody is getting along. Who knew Christmas with the originals could be so perfect." Elena spoke cheerily. She lifted up her glass of blood and nodded to everyone around the table.

There were no arguments, no threats of killing each other...well no serious threats, those made by sibling would be taken with a grain of salt. They had reached a point in their lives that they could live peacefully with each other. Four siblings and four friends, who knew that their love lives intertwined with everyone else. This Christmas was only the beginning for more to come.
