Altered twist of fate (Kolvina)

Chapter 17

The next day....

Kol's pov

I arrive back at the hotel after putting a plan in motion to try and retrieve Elijah body from the Salvatore boarding house. I could go in there myself but I don't feel like exposing myself even though they don't know I'm related to Elijah or Klaus.

Davina and Dove stayed at the hotel with me last night but they slept in the other room. The suite I'm in is a family suite because why not? It's bigger than a regular room and it has two rooms. The two rooms are separated by a wall which has a door you have to go through to get to the room.

I shut the door behind me and head to the other room. I try to be quiet as I open the door and I peek inside to see Davina fast asleep but Dove is wide awake and calmly lying beside her mother, playing with her hands and feet and babbling to herself

As the door suddenly creeks, Dove stops what she's doing, sits up and looks at me. She looks from Davina to me before holding a finger to her lips "shh mama" she says before placing her hands together and pressing them against her cheek as she tilts her head to the side to signal she's sleeping.

I chuckle, holding a finger to my lips "I see your mummy's sleeping, I will try to be quiet" I whisper and she gives me a little thumbs up before climbing off the bed, clutching her unicorn teddy in her left hand. She leans up on her tippy toes and reaches up to the nightstand, grabbing her pacifier and popping it in her mouth before toddling over to me 

She stops in front of me, grins and takes out her pacifier "hiya" she squeals making me chuckle "hi" I respond bending down so I'm at her height. "Hungry" she says pointing to her mouth making me chuckle "I'll go see what's in the fridge" I say standing up.

She grabs my hand making me look back down at her "what?" I ask she just stares at me before lifting her arms up and making grabby hands at me "up,up" she says making me chuckle as I bend down and carefully pick her up, slightly feeling nervous as I've never really been around kids well except for Marcel but he was more of a pre-teen as he was 13 when I met him.

Dove smiles and pops her pacifier back in her mouth and points out the room and at the kitchen area. I walk out of the room, quietly shutting the door behind me. 

I place her on the sofa right outside the little kitchen as I head into the kitchen. I hear her little feet pad against the floor so I turn to see her following me and she plops herself down on the floor, looking up at me with her big blue eyes. I chuckle shaking my head "you're cheeky" I say making her smile as she makes grabby hands at me so I pick her up.

I head into the kitchen and search through the fridge for something suitable for her to eat but all I see is a bottle of beer which she's definitely not having. Dove points to the bottle and I chuckle "no you can't have that, that's an adult drink and you're a baby" I respond gently poking her stomach making her giggle. 

"I'm sorry little one but there's no food in there for you" I say "oh no" she gasps through her pacifier making me chuckle as she's just too cute. 

"Dove!" Davina suddenly yells from the room "mama!" Dove squeals so I put her down and she toddles off to the room, jumping up to try and reach the door knob so I walk over and open the door. "Tank you" she says before skipping into the room making me chuckle while Davina sighs in relief as she sees her.

"There you are Dove, you had me worried" Davina says looking visibly stressed and relieved as she pulls Dove into her arms. "I sorry mama" Dove replies snuggling against her. "I'm sorry I came in to check on you and she was awake. She came up to me and told me she was hungry" I explain making her look up. "Thanks, did you feed her anything?" she asks "no, there wasn't anything suitable in the fridge for her" I respond making her nod.
