A Dangerous Desire- Elijah x OC

A Queen and her Prince Part 1

A/N: there perhaps should have been another filler chapter before we arrived here but what can I say I've been dying to write this chapter for a while now so I'm just gonna go for it. Part 2 will be up later today.

2 Months Later

3rd Person POV:

For the past 2 months, Matt had gone back to working at the Grill, not having Vee supporting him anymore he needed cash. It was nice of Tyler and his mom to allow him to stay with them and he could always stay with Rebekah if he needed to but he didn't feel comfortable asking either of them for money for food or clothes, or anything for school.

He was in the middle of a shift when Elena comes running into the Grill.

"Whoa, what's going on?" he asks

"What's going on?! Why aren't you answering your phone?!!!!"

Matt reels his head back not expecting her to come at him, "it's in my locker, I'm working."

Elena does not look impressed, "well come on, we need you," she tells him expecting him to follow

"Again, Elena, I'm at work,"

"It's Vee she's in labor!"

This shocks Matt, "but she's not due for another month,"

"Exactly, she's refusing to go to the hospital saying it isn't time yet, you need to go convince her,"

"Why do you think she'd listen to me?"

Elena throws her hands up, "because you're her brother!"

"No, I'm not," Matt says through a clenched jaw 

"So what about me and Jeremy, I'm adopted does that mean he's not my brother," Elena asks.

Matt rolls his eyes, "Of course not, that's different you grew up together, I've only known Vee for 2 years"

"And in those 2 years she has taken better care of you than anyone ever has, she has loved you as a brother, that has to mean something."

Matt looks down not knowing what to say to that,

"Look if you can't do it for her do it for the baby, you know she needs to go to the hospital, how are you gonna feel if something happens and you didn't even try?"

Matt takes off his apron knowing Elena is right,

He walks across the street and into Lavender's bakery...

He sees Damon and Enzo trying to reason with her and Caroline shuffling out any remaining customers.

"You need to go to the hospital!" Damon shouts at Vee

"It's not time yet, okay, these are just Braxton Hicks or something," Vee says clutching her stomach clearly in pain.

Damon pulls out his phone, "according to this Braxton Hicks are irregular and don't get stronger over time,"

"Thank you, Dr. Google," Vee mutters

Matt steps in front of Damon, "it's okay I got it,"

"Well look who decided to show up,"

"Vee," Matt tries to get her attention

She sighs in relief as the pain passes, "see it stopped everything's fine,"

Damon looks at the clock, "yeah until 4 minutes from now when you'll get another one."

"I said I got it!" Matt tells him with more strength causing Damon to take a step back, 

"by all means, Mr. quarterback lets see that new backbone in action," and he motions for Matt to continue on.

"Vee, look I know you're scared but we need to get you to the hospital," Matt tells her gently. 

"Why are you even here, you can't stand the sight of me,"

Matt sighs sadly, feeling bad about how he's hurt her,

"Because I care about you and that baby and I don't want anything to happen to either of you,"

Vee shakes her head, "No, I'm not your sister. You don't care about me... not anymore."

"Yes, I do,"

"No, okay. Don't lie to me you hate me, your struggling just to be in the same room as me right now, you think I can't see that?!"

"its not because I don't care,"

"then why?"

"Because I love you more!" Matt explodes finally getting Vee's full attention.

"Jeremy was right, you and Vick are nothing alike, and I didn't miss her because I had you. I had someone who for the first time in my life made me feel loved and cared for. I can't stand looking at you because every time I do I'm reminded of the fact that your not my real sister and I wish you were because... because I love you more, and that makes me feel like a piece of shit, but that's my problem, not yours. So please let me get you to the hospital."

"I'm scared," Vee admits

Matt moves closer to her, "I know,"

"Elijah's not here,"

"I know," he kindly tells her again.

Tears start streaming down her face as she takes in a deep breath and admits, "I want my mom,"

"Hey, look at me," Matt grabs her face gently in both his hands, "your the mom now, and your son needs you."

She takes a shaky breath, "I'm the mom now,"

Matt nods

She wipes the tears from her eyes, "I'm the mommy now,"

Matt gently smiles, "yeah you are, so we're gonna go to the hospital okay?"

Vee nods, "okay."

Matt looks back to the rest of the group, "who has a car here?"

Just then Vee's water breaks and Enzo gleefully steps forward, "you can use mine, mate. Don't mind the missing door" he says throwing the keys to Matt as Damon scowls.

At the Hospital

Rebekah has met Matt and Vee there and walks into her room, 

"Man everytime I feel like I've finally acclimated to this time I get thrown a curveball, everything out there looks like it's from another planet," She says closing the door behind her,

"Hey, it's okay, you'll get used to it, it just takes time," Matt tells her.

Right then an epiphany hits Vee,

"He's here," she says quietly to herself as she processes what she's just realized.

"Who's here?" Rebekah asks having heard her.

"Elijah, he's here," she tells them with more strength now as she's sure she's right.

"What are you talking about?" Rebekah asks.

"Think about it, you were only in that box for 90 years and still you have trouble adjusting,"

"I wouldn't say I have trouble"

Vee ignores her and keeps talking, "Finn was daggered for 900 years, he was out for what... 2 weeks before he took Elijah? He wouldn't have been able to learn how to drive or rent a truck and stash Elijah anywhere he wanted. No he had to have taken him someplace he knew, someplace that would have existed back then."

Rebekah thinks on it for a moment, "there's nothing like that left,"

"There has to be! I'm right about this, I know I am," Vee pleads getting upset,

"Alright, calm down. I'll look I promise if he's here I'll find him."

Outside 

Klaus has been in wolf form listening, he knows exactly where to look.
