Klaus and Alice have everything they ever wanted. A loving family, a peaceful place to raise their child and each other. But dark clouds are forming on the horizon as Alice is called back to Mystic Falls by her old friends Stefan and Damon Salvatore, to solve what seems like an impossible problem that threatens to destroy their town. Nik is also called away by his brother Elijah as they return to New Orleans to save Niklaus' father...his real father. As these two lovers are separated, their son is still in grave danger as a face from their past comes back for a visit, intent on destroying what's left of the Michaelson family. _____________________________________________ " I'm not turning my humanity off because I value it, because I know it is the only thing that separates me from the monsters who want our son dead. My humanity is the only thing that allows me to see the innocence in this cruel world. So no I won't turn off humanity. Does it hurt like hell? Yes. But my humanity is all I have left of those I have loved and lost, of our missing son, and of the two men who stayed by my side throughout my life who now lay six feet under! I may not remember everything about my past Nik, but I do remember loving them and loving you, and that...that is the reason I maintain my humanity and why I still, after everything, have the capability to love." ~Alice Michaelson
