Hey, It’s Been A While Since You’ve Update Immortal Dilemmas And I Was Just Wondering If You Were

Chapter 11

Immortal Dilemmas

Moving to America proved to be quite simple, they gave the President the truth and in turn were seen as political refugees. America’s magical community was more up to common times and did not believe in putting unnecessary restrictions on a species that had no control of how they came to be. Remus and the boys had to be registered but it was only because MACUSA would be sending supplies to help with his transformation and help in meeting standards to the boys…diets. Teddy was old enough to eat solids, they had given him special cereal that he would enjoy and help with his fast metabolism. The twins were given a cooler filled with donated blood bags to last a week and bottles that would make it appear that they were just having milk. A MACUSA Healer had advised Hailey to mix in her breast milk to the blood. Remus was to be given a potion every month to ease the transformation pain and keep his state of mind intact. He was also given a book of runes that would keep himself confined to an area as long as he was a wolf. One thing that shocked all of them was that in America, you have to be eighteen in order to be considered an adult. It didn’t change their plans but it did add more paperwork as the teens had to go through emancipation.

They told officials of their desired destination and was promptly given several pictures of homes that could fit the large group. Being the Lady of two very well off families came in handy when choosing a new home. The most expensive house offered wouldn’t even put a dent in her inheritance vault, she wouldn’t even need to pull funds from the main vaults to replenish funds. The others didn’t like that she was trying to pay for everything and were gonna speak up about it…until she turned her head slightly to throw them a quick glare. It made an amusing sight for anyone who didn’t know of Hailey Potter’s feats, a petite girl holding two infants to her chest while glaring at the group of older people as if they were misbehaving children. Hailey knew not to be stupid with her money and buy a overly lavish house, a habit formed because of the Dursley’s that she was uncomfortable to buy things for herself but she has no problem spending money for her loved ones. The others relented and agreed to go with whatever decision Hailey would go with. They would need privacy and enough room for everyone, including when the family would want to come and visit.

Hailey decided on getting a white Victorian style mansion that was well isolated on a hill. It wasn’t too far away from town and could be easily updated and fixed with magic. MACUSA had stated that there was a population of supernatural creatures that did not fall under wizarding jurisdiction residing in the town, they’re called supernaturals. They gave the group items that would prevent the supernaturals ability to take advantage of them. The officials had to reassure the group that the items would not hurt the young ones or Remus because of their creature status. They were given options of what to use and they decided on necklaces that they would pass as wearing their family emblem. Hailey made the design: a platinum chain attached to their ‘coat of arms’ that would consist of the deathly hallows symbol, with a sword behind it, and with a lily, stag, and grim in different corners of the emblem. The gem would be obsidian. The young ones couldn’t have necklaces yet so they were given little bracelets instead. MACUSA had strongly advised that if the supernaturals were to cause a ruckus and bring unwanted attention to no-maj’s they could be called to send a obliviate team.

“We survived and won the Blood Wars, we can handle whatever these supernaturals throw at us.”, Ron said in order to ease Hailey when he saw she was getting worried. The thought of having to fend off the population made the group a little anxious but Ron made a point, they have survived too much for them to turn tail. They grabbed the portkey, a flower pot, to travel to Mystic Falls, Virginia. It was around mid afternoon and the house wouldn’t be ready until tomorrow morning. Tonks, Remus, and Teddy were to go to a hotel to get rooms for the night. Hermione and Ron made off with everyone’s shrunken luggage to the new house to get a closer look and what they would need to make it feel and look more like home. Despite the other’s concerns, Hailey went off alone with the twins to look around town. She gathered a lot of attention that reminded her of her time at Hogwarts, she just hoped it was just because she was new to town. With everyone staring at the new mother she made off to find a place with less people not knowing that she had caught the attention of Damon Salvatore with her unique yet familiar scent.

Damon didn’t know why but there was something about the new girl that rubbed him the wrong way. She was hot that was obvious but her scent made him wary, why did she smell like his brother? Ever since that infuriating deal was made with Klaus, all Elena would talk about was getting Stefan back and it made Damon resent him more. Why was it that every girl he was in love with, love Stefan instead? What was it about his little brother that made him so great? As far as Damon could see his brother was boring, predictable, and was too negative. Damon thought himself to be exciting (dangerous) , unpredictable (bipolar), and tries to look on the bright side (hypocrite and only does so when he doesn’t want to accept things as they are). If the new girl has some connection to Stefan he’s going to find out and see if he could use it to his advantage. If she’s not important to his brother he might as well have a little fun with her to get his mind off Elena for a while.

He walked up to the bench she was sitting on and promptly placed himself next to her. He eyed the babies she had with her for a second before disregarding them. He didn’t care about the little rugrats, she was probably just looking after her brother’s for her parents, he just needed to know what her connection to his brother was. She was startled when he sat down causing him to smirk at her. She noticed him eye her boy’s before ignoring them and starting a very uncomfortable conversation with her. Her first impression of this guy was that he was similar to Gilderoy Lockhart.

“Hey there, new girl. I was just wondering what a fine lady such as yourself is doing in our small town?”, he said with a smirk and with some compulsion towards the end to know what her goal was. Hailey looked at the stranger in disdain. She’s never been comfortable with random guys just walking up to her and then hitting on her. It’s gotten even worse after mating with Stefan to the point that it just made her angry. Her response shocked Damon.

“I moved here to get away from unwanted attention which I can see is still going to be a problem. Now please go away as I am trying to enjoy the day with my sons.”, she was not ashamed of having children and she’ll be damned before hiding the fact. She noticed that he was still just staring at her so, she gathered her baby bag and stood up to leave. But before she could walk away the pompous stranger grabbed her arm with an annoyed look on his face. She was beginning to regret wanting as little people as possible around her. He was about to speak when a blur came and pushed him away from her. In place of the blur in front of her was the back of a very rememberable man, the same man that captured her heart and took away her title of a maiden. In front of her stood Stefan Salvatore, her mate, father of her sons, and unknowingly her husband. And his face was full of rage with a possessive gleam in his eye as he stood between her and that pompous man. She looked ahead and finally noticed that Stefan had pushed that guy so hard that he had caused a dirt trail and crater. Damon had got up slowly and relocated his shoulder and collarbone. He looked towards the new girl and wasn’t shocked to see his little brother in front of her.

He was surprised to see the amount of anger on his brother’s face. But before he could taunt him, Stefan had picked Hailey up and sped away. Damon would have chased after them if not for the glare that promised agonizing pain and a slow death that his brother threw at him. He stood frozen for a while before he fished his phone out of his pocket to call the gang, it seems there were more players in the game. They had to prepare and gather information on the new girl, whoever she is she’s important to Stefan and they could use that. Stefan has proven that he doesn’t care what happens to Elena or anybody other than the Originals and they can’t do anything to harm them. A human girl though, that opens possibilities and with how Stefan reacted to him just touching her it speaks volumes of what his little brother would do for her. Though it does bring up the question: when did his little brother turn his humanity back on to care enough for her?

Stefan ran as fast as he could, mindful of Hailey carrying precious cargo. He ran until he was in front of Klaus’s mansion, only then he felt secure enough to gently set her down on her feet. She was staring at him in shock, it took him a moment before he realized he never told her about him being a vampire. While he was contemplating of what to say he couldn’t help but notice the differences in her body because of her pregnancy. Her bust and waist were slightly bigger both changes were her body preparing for motherhood. She looked a lot happier compared to when they first met, she was wearing battered clothes he assumed were caused by the car crash she was in but now she was wearing a white summer dress that reached just above her knees with a blue floral pattern and a unique family crest necklace. Everything else seemed to have stayed the same and her scent if anything was even more intoxicating. He was starting to drool before he shacked the thoughts from his head, it wasn’t the proper time to drool over his goddess. His goddess…he had reacted without thinking but what could he do, Damon had put his unworthy hands on his mate and Stefan’s vampire had lost it for a split second. The only reason Damon wasn’t in shreds was because he didn’t want to frighten Hailey. With his thoughts gathered he looked up to Hailey’s face and she had an expectant expression, it made him love her a little more because she was giving him a chance even after everything.

While Stefan was thinking she was doing an analysis of her own. He had gotten a bit more defined, she could feel him under his clothes while he was carrying her. He wasn’t wearing a jacket like last time but that was probably due to the summer heat and he had replaced his ring with a smaller version. But other than that he was still a walking Adonis who she wouldn’t mind giving a few more kids to. She shook the thoughts from her head, she just gave birth to two beautiful boys and she doesn’t even know if she could have more. She wanted to tell Stefan everything; her origins to how the babies were his. But she would wait as it looks like he needs to tell her everything as well. She looked at him and hope her face showed that she was willing to listen in return she was rewarded with that knee weakening smile of his.

“Heeeeyy…so I guess I have some explaining to do.”,he said with an awkward grin.

“Ya think!”, she said incredulous and with an arched brow. He was happy to hear her voice again and almost dazed out before snapping himself back.

“Okay so…that guy that was bothering you was my brother Damon and the reason I could go so fast is because-“, he was cut off by Hailey.

“Because your a vampire, yes Stefan I know continue.”, he was shocked.

“Wait how do you know?!”, looks like he wasn’t the only one with secrets.

“I’ll answer when you tell me everything. You tell me your REAL story and I’ll share mine.”, he was still a little anxious to tell her, what if she never wanted to see him again, would she just leave with her babies? She saw Stefan’s face and noticed him flicking his fingers, a nervous tick. She was quick to reaffirm him.

“Stefan look I know we didn’t get a lot of time to know each other better but I know we connected. I want you to know that I won’t just leave…not after I just found you again.”, she said leaving herself open and vulnerable. Stefan stared at her for a moment then down to the boys. He gained an expression that she couldn’t decipher but he nodded nonetheless.

“Okay. So I’m 163 years old but I’ve stayed seventeen. I was turned in 1864 when my father had shot both me and my brother in order to stop us from becoming vampires. He had actually triggered the transition, my brother had willingly drunk human blood afterwards to complete it. The woman who we thought we loved is a vampire and gave us blood. But I didn’t want to be a vampire so I went to my father to visit him one last time before I died and he ended up trying to stake me. However he ended up staking himself and triggered my blood lust. My brother then promised me an eternity of misery because I had not only killed our father but the woman he turned for ended up picking me despite me never wanting her. Everything I ever felt for her, she forced as she was compelling me. She still a nuisance to this day and I’m reminded of her every time I see my ex, they’re doppelgängers.”, to say Hailey was infuriated would be an understatement! How dare that arrogant git cause his little brother so much misery and how dare he take his anger of his woman being unfaithful in his brother?! Next time she sees him he’ll be wishing that he had stayed human to have not met her! Seeing Hailey getting angry made him nervous but he went on with his tale.

“Which plays another huge component to now. You see with vampires it had started because of a witch a thousand years ago was in mourning of losing her youngest son to werewolves. She wanted a way for her family to defend themselves from them one thing led to another and vampires came to existence.”, he was going to continue when suddenly one of the babies had started to fuss. Hailey looked at him apologetically before moving to take the baby out. Hailey knew that cry, seems Cedar was getting hungry in the middle of his daddy’s story time. She stopped once she realized that she would need to put Caelan down, she looked to Stefan and he looked a bit panicked at Cedar crying. Well hopefully he won’t mind holding Caelan while she fed Cedar.

“Stefan could you hold him for a sec. I gotta feed his brother.”, she didn’t give Stefan time to reply as she had Caelan already leaning on his chest.

“Now just put your hand on his bottom and keep you hand on his back to hold him.”, Stefan had done as she told him but he was slightly worried about accidentally hurting the little one. He started to internally panic when the little guy looked up from his chest. Caelan didn’t know the man holding him and assessed him before he decided whether he’ll cry to go back to momma. His scent was soothing and familiar, when he looked up he could recognize that this was his daddy so he laid his head back down to take his nap. Stefan relaxed as the baby was okay with being held by him he looked to Hailey to ask about the babies but then promptly looked away when he noticed her breastfeeding. He doesn’t know if it was okay to look but he doesn’t want to accidentally offend her. She looked up and smirked at Stefan’s flustered face, she didn’t like seeing Stefan in distress and while him telling her everything was necessary it still made her a bit sad, so it made her happy she could distract him for a while.

“Stefan it’s okay to look, he’s just eating.”, she said with a small chuckle.

“R-right, umm I was just wondering what are the little guy’s names and…please just answer this and…I’msorryifthisoffendsyoubutaretheymine?!”, he just needed to know because as he got a closer look at the little guy he noticed the similar features and scents that came from both babies. Hailey looked nervous to answer which made his heart wrench at the thought of him not being the father.

“I don’t know if you can believe me Stefan as you haven’t heard my story yet but…yes these two are yours.”, she didn’t want to see Stefan angry but she was surprised when she felt his hand cupping her cheek. She looked up and saw Stefan had an elated smile on his face with tears threatening to fall. Stefan couldn’t hide how happy he was, he was quick to assure her that he indeed believed her. You couldn’t lie to a vampire especially about something like this. He looked to both babies with glee, he thought he had lost his chance to have a family but Hailey was able to give him one, he couldn’t be happier. He looked at the baby she was feeding and noticed his ring was on her wedding finger, he blushed but looked to her in question which led to her blushing.

“Let me answer your other question first. The one your holding is Caelan James Salvatore-Potter and this one here is Cedar Sirius Salvatore-Potter. I hope you don’t mind me giving them your name but-“, she was cut off with a gentle kiss. Stefan broke it and looked with her with an adoring gaze.

“Thank you, Hailey.”, his earnest reaction caused her to blush. But he took her hand that had his ring on her finger and looked back at her questionably with a flustered smile. She looked back to him with a mischievous smile.

“That one is a little more difficult to explain without telling you everything. Sooo…your just gonna have to wait until yours is done.”, she said and smiled a bit more genuinely when Stefan had pouted at her response. Cedar was done eating so they were able to settle the boys back into the carrier. Stefan decided to move them into the mansion, he took a quick look around and it was empty besides a few hybrids that had orders to let Stefan be. He led them to the living room and Hailey sat down on the loveseat with Stefan automatically sitting next to her. He started where he left off.

“Back then there was a brother in the Originals that was different then his siblings. He was the child born out of the affair between the witch and a werewolf. This wasn’t discovered until one fateful night when the son had taken away his first life. Making him the Original Hybrid, Niklaus Mikaelson. When a person is born with a werewolf gene in order to activate the curse they need to kill somebody and the gene can only be passed from parent to child. The father was mad at the witch and threatened to leave unless she was to find a way to get rid of the wolf in him. To him this had angered him so much as she was essentially locking a part of him away, always feeling it just out of reach but never able to access. The only way to break it was to use to use the blood of a human doppelgänger. Which brings us to modern times. My ex, Elena, is the doppelgänger that Klaus needed to finally break his curse.”, Stefan couldn’t hide the exasperated tone, thinking about the whole ordeal made his head ache. At least it was over with…for the most part at least. Hailey could see how tired Stefan looked when he mentioned this and rubbed his shoulder in sympathy. He gave her a grateful smile.

“In the end Klaus finally got what he always wanted. But then Damon had to go and do something reckless and got bit by a wolf, death was imminent but there was one thing that could save him. Now I have long known that my brother wasn’t…the best but until I met you I hadn’t realized how bad it was. The only cure was the blood of a hybrid and the only one in existence had requested only two things: my allegiance and for me to turn off my humanity. Only without my humanity and with you I was able to see that I shouldn’t just forgive Damon just because he was brother. You didn’t force me to get along with him because he was my family. You made me realize that I had a better brother right next to me who wasn’t even connected to me by blood. Now Klaus had one other dream, he didn’t want to be alone. He had been the only one of his kind and he was tired of it so he sent me out to find a solution.”, he thinks back to the night they met and he couldn’t fight the blush that covers his face or the goofy grin. Hailey saw this and flushed and nudged him to continue.

“That’s how we met, now everything is working in Klaus’s favor as he’s no longer alone. And now I’ve found you again but…there will still be problems because my brother has never been one to accept things as they are if it wasn’t how he wanted it. And he definitely didn’t want Klaus to have his way.”, earlier amusement gone. Stefan did it he explained his entire story to Hailey, he felt so relieved that he could feel tears start to build up in his eyes. He knew how vicious his brother can be and how little he cares that it would break Stefan to see her hurt, all he cared about was how he could use her to get Stefan to obey. Hailey noticed the tears and reacted without thinking to help. She put her hands on his nape and brought their foreheads together, it caused them to close their eyes and think back on everything.

Stefan opened his eyes and gave a silent thank you along with a loving forehead kiss. Feeling a bit more better he dropped a kiss on his sons heads as well…his sons it was still something that he was marveling at. He hopes that Hailey will be able to help explain how they came to be. She took a deep breath and he squeezed her hand in hopes of comfort, he situated them were he’s in the corner of the loveseat with her and the babies were between his legs with her back against his chest. She leaned her head back on his chest and smiled up at him in thanks. She started her story.

“I was born to loving parents that were apart of a secret society filled with everything and anything magical but hidden away from everyone else. Our world while similar to yours, has…just more of everything and we live separately from the normal world. We have our own currency, governments, society, and business. At the time of my birth there was a war happening, a war surrounding the propaganda of whether those who are the first in their family to have magic are inferior or on par with those that come from a long descent of magic users. My mother was the first in her family and my father came from a long line of magic making me a half blood. However my parents died at the hands of a powerful wizard that was the head of the ‘dark’ side when I was a baby. I was supposed to die as well but my mother was able to sacrifice herself to save me, so when he tried to kill me it rebounded and killed him. I went down in history to be the first to live the killing curse and to defeat a dark lord as an infant, the named me the ‘Girl-Who-Lived’. I wouldn’t be aware of any of this as when my parents died they had placed me with my mother’s sister, who loathes anything abnormal including me. For the first eleven years of my life my room was a cupboard under the stairs and went without knowing my true story or heritage. One fateful night I had turned eleven deeming me old enough to go back to the magic society to learn magic. I thought that it was the happiest day of my life but it was replaced a few years later.”, she said while looking down at Cedar and Caelan.

Stefan couldn’t help but smile at her. His mind was reeling about there being an entire world that he didn’t know about and the Originals likely don’t either. But he thought back to her comment about her maternal family and his blood was boiling. He didn’t care if they were family, they caused her so much pain and neglect as far as he’s concerned they’re going to wish he never learned of their existence. Seeing as how Stefan was getting angry she moved on, she read about vampires being very unpredictable when concerning their mates. She’s worried about how he’ll react to her school adventures when she’ll have time to tell him more in depth.

“My school years were in short magical. But as I said I was considered very famous, it didn’t change once I got to school. I was accepted into Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I was put into a sorting and came out as everyone expected. Every year since I was eleven I had to avoid life threatening situations, I had secrets kept from me, I was constantly having to find a way to keep me and my friends alive, and I had to put up with everyone gossiping and having expectations of me. I was able to build my own makeshift family with the few friends I could make. The life threats always had one thing in common, they were to bring the Dark Lord back and it did.”, she gained a very dark look that it made Stefan worry for what could have happened to her. But he let her collect her thought so he could do the same, what kind of school let children fight for their life?! If she was gathering so much attention why didn’t anyone notice when her and her friends lives were in danger constantly, why didn’t anyone try to help?! He broke his train of thought when she began again, but he started hugging her around her waist when he noticed her eyes become misty. Thinking of the war will always bring dark memories.

“He came back when I was fourteen and I had witnessed him taking the life of a friend. The ministry didn’t want to admit it they called me a liar, so we were left on our own to protect ourselves. Even at that a lot of people on our side had left it up to us, just kids really, to fight the war. When I was fifteen I lost my godfather to battle, I was so enraged that I had ended up lethally injuring six of the twelve soldiers of the Dark Lord. My brother, Ron, and my sister, Hermione, where able to calm me down some but not enough to stop me from hunting down the woman responsible. Soon after the real war broke out and we were on the run. We fought from the shadows and did our missions to ensure the fall of the Dark Lord. I had defeated him in a duel that led to his death and soon his entire side had crumbled. A series of events that happened in the war including my brief death, but came back to life and also became what is known as the Mistress of Death. I had found that out the day the war was over, the same day we met. With my kind we experience accidental bouts of magic when our emotions are very overwhelming. When learning about my new title I had accidentally transported myself from Scotland to America. Then you found me.”, she said with a sheepish smile. Stefan just gaped at her, is it normal for them to be able to teleport to a different continent?! He wonders if the boys will inherit that amount of power?

“I had a dream that night. Death itself came to me and had explained that we had completed a very old prophecy. I, the Mistress of Death, and you, a Creature of Death, had accomplished in making the Heir to Death.”, she said with an impish smile. With her story finished she knows he’ll have questions and no doubt he starts spouting off.

“Was everything okay? Where you in pain? How long did the pregnancy last? When did you find out about them being twins? Will me being a vampire be a problem for them? What about-“, he was cut off when she put her hand on his mouth with an smile on her face. She understands that he has questions but she knew to cut him off before she forgets to answer the first few.

“Everything was fine. The only pain I was in was when the boys would kick as they are stronger than a normal baby. The pregnancy was supposed to last about 3 months but with me having twins I delivered two weeks early. I found out when I noticed that I had to push out another baby, my kind’s magic does not react well with technology and I was having trouble controlling mine so I couldn’t go to a doctor. My world would be in a frenzy if they found out their savior had children out of wedlock, halfbreeds at that.”, at her response he calmed down some but his face hardened at hearing about her world not being accepting of his sons.

“Are you telling me your world would have done something to the boys? Just because a vampire is their father?”, he said with his vampire face coming out. It seems he’s already grown overprotective of the boys. She couldn’t help but take note of his face being the same as Caelan when he had shown his for the first time. And while he is right she needs to make sure he understands a very important detail.

“Stefan…with you being their father it does make things more difficult for them. My world sees creatures as inferior and back home we are trying to fix it and ban the laws that they placed on halfbreeds. But with me as a mother they were always going to have a target on their back. I am the sole heir to two very powerful families and my government wants control over who I marry to ensure that my heir would be easy to manipulate. Not to mention there is still some of the Dark Lord’s followers out there and…I can’t even bare the thought that the boys could get hurt over what I had to do. I did the selfish thing and kept our boys with me.”, she started to cry over the thought alone. She was selfish and had only thought about getting what she wanted and didn’t think of what her sons could go through. Her crying had woken up the boys and they were not happy to see their mama crying so they started cooing and making little noises to get her attention and Stefan noticed as well what his sons were trying to accomplish. He repositioned all of them so that Hailey would be sitting on his lap with the boys still strapped to her. Hailey finally noticed her boys trying to get her attention, when she looked down at them they both had smiled up at her. She turned to Stefan to see him staring at the three of them in adoration. He reached up to cup her cheek.

“Never think that you wanting a family is you being selfish. And if it is I’m overjoyed that you chose to be selfish because it gave me a gift that I thought I would never be able to receive let alone deserve to get. We’re going to keep the boys safe, we’re going to do right by them. Because we both came from families that could have been better but we know what they are going to want and need. And I hope that you get that when I say ‘we’ it means that I’m going to be there with you every step of the way.”, he said hugging her close to him in an almost painful hold but to Hailey it was an embrace filled with love and ensured her that he was there. Wanting to break the tension she took his hand into her own, her hand that had his ring on her finger. He noticed and again gave a teasing look with a brow arched. At this point Stefan thinks that she just put in on her finger to keep guys from flirting with her. He won’t lie, the thought of her wearing an actual engagement ring given from him got his blood pumping south but he shook his head, again not the time for his vampire or him to get aroused from having something on her that would prove that she wasn’t on the market. He thought he was right when she started to flush. But her response shocked him still for a while.

“Well, the night we…made the boys was also the night that we apparently got…married?”, he was looking at her gobsmacked hoping that what she was saying was true but still hoping that she could explain it a little more.

“It was registered by the bank of my world. It is run by creatures and they view mating to be similar and as sacred as marriage. So we’re mated and unknowingly in the eyes of my government we are married. Which if they did know they would shit themselves because they wouldn’t be able to declare that the boys can’t inherit my names. They are legally able to inherit everything once they come of age as not only are they sole heirs but they are legitimate ones.”, she said this in a faux nonchalance as she did not know how Stefan would react. She was surprised by the almost hysterical giggle that came from him followed by an actual hysterical laugh.

“Anything else I should be made aware then my lovely wife?!”, he said trying to cope with the amount of happiness surging through him. Damon had made a vow to make him miserable and his life before Hailey has been so. He has never felt so overwhelmed with happiness that he didn’t know how to react to him being a father and having a wife, his seemingly impossible dream coming true.

“Well I named the boys because of the…other titles they would inherit. I’m the Mistress of Death…and Magic’s Chosen. Caelan meaning eternal warrior, he’s the Heir to Death. And Cedar’s name means a magical wood because he’s the Heir to Magic. Also I didn’t come alone, I brought some of my family, including my werewolf uncle.”, she said tentatively. Stefan just sat there until he smashed their lips together in a surprising and passionate kiss that she slowly melted into. When they pulled apart he had a goofy smile on that matched her own.

“Things are never going to be quiet around here with you then, huh? For you and with you I’ll be happy to be there in all the noise.”, he said. He looked to her then down to the boys in a loving gaze. Then he heard an adorable noise come from Hailey, her stomach was growling. He looked up to her and her face was scarlet. “How about we go into town to get something to eat. You and I can consider it our first date.”, he added sheepishly and turned beaming when she nodded with her own beaming grin. The got up and left the mansion and made their way to a little place called the Mystic Grill. Stefan had insisted on holding the baby bag for Hailey as she was already holding the boys. She had the boys to her chest and was securing them with one arm while holding hands with Stefan while he used his other arm to hold the baby bag. They made quite the image for the small town, gossipy townspeople we’re coming up with all sorts of theories. Young women and men had all started mourning at the loss of some of Mystic Fall’s most good looking residents.

The family continued their journey for food ignoring it all. Once they got to the Grill the boys started to pick up a fuss at being hungry, since she had already fed Cedar she was…empty…so she planned to use the bottles for the first time. She and Stefan sat at a table for two and she put the bag on the table and took out the ‘special’ bottles for the boys, already had her milk and the donated blood in. She hoped the boys like the mixture and would take to the bottles well. She unstrapped the boys from her and gave Cedar to Stefan, who was still a bit cautious at holding something so precious and small. She took one bottle and gently placed it in Caelan’s mouth, he was eating like there was no tomorrow and gave appreciative coos. Stefan copied her actions and Cedar exactly like his brother was happy with the mixture. The new parents were in their own world before it burst when a suspicious and gobsmacked Jeremy Gilbert came to take their order. With their order taken Stefan had finally noticed all the attention that they were getting and grew furious when he saw males casting leering and lingering gazes at Hailey. He also noticed Matt and Jeremy staring at them distrustfully, he felt his vampire snarl at them for sending the same looks to Hailey. He carefully scooted his chair next to hers and was internally gleeful when she laid her head on his shoulder.

It proved that they were together and it also helped in soothing his protective instinct. But no sooner as they had finally started to relax the door had burst open. Damon, Elena, and the rest of the gang had decided to come. Damon sneered in their direction. And Elena had looked on in jealousy. Hailey was getting uncomfortable with their stares and turned to Stefan more which just caused the looks to intensify. With Hailey practically tucked into Stefan with both of them with a baby in their arms they made quite the picture when Rebekah and Klaus came in.

Chapter 14

Immortal Dilemmas

Klaus was just overwhelmed, he has lived for over a thousand years and now there is apparently an entire society of magic that he had no clue about existed? He could see he wasn’t the only one that was but he noticed in his befuddled state that his little brother was one of the few that was calm…oh he was so going to get it!…once Klaus relearned how to stop hyperventilating. Rebekah was fairing better but was still fairly astonished, she had thought there was nothing that could surprise her anymore than a day of knowing Hailey Potter and the impossible seems to happen every few hours!

Stefan was trying to avoid making eye contact with Klaus…he knew he was in for it. Though he knew he should also address a few things to the room explanations were needed…for him not to have to beat a few hybrids to a pulp for making eyes at Hailey. “I think it’s time I tell you guys the full story now that we don’t have to worry about others. You see after that mission I had in Oregon I came across Hailey walking along the road. At the time I didn’t know why but I felt a pull towards her and pulled over and offered her a ride to town. I didn’t know she was a witch and she didn’t know I was a vampire. We felt compelled to try and connect and tell each other our woes. Soon enough we ended up at a bar, there was more talking…and drinking.”, he said that last part in a wince when he saw his mate’s uncle and brother glare at him, even the little guy was giving him an angry pout! He quickly moved on to hopefully dig himself out, but it seemed his sweetheart also wished to chime in. He couldn’t stop his grin to her if he tried.

“We found a hotel and well…we were able to make the adorable little bundles Stefan is holding.”, she blushed out. She wasn’t ashamed of what they had done and what they made but it was still uncomfortable to make it known. She could see the hybrids in the room were baffled by the idea that a vampire could father her children. But it slowly turned into astonishment, the hybrids could hear her heartbeat, she wasn’t lying! A few stepped forward to look at the children closer and was surprised to see Stefan tuck them closer to him and snarl at them. He was calmed down by Hailey placing a hand on his arm. They took a tentative and testing step forward and weren’t snarled at. One definitely looked like her but the other looked so much like Stefan, even then they can see pieces of their mom and dad in either of them.

Stefan and Hailey looked in glee as everyone had finally realized that these were legitimately and biologically HIS. Hailey continued as the little story wasn’t quite done yet. “The night we made the twins was also the night we unknowingly became mates. But when I woke up Stefan had gone.”, the room could hear silent sorrow in her voice and the room turned to glare at Stefan. Though they were shocked to see Stefan with a sorrow expression. They hadn’t yet had the chance to talk about that but it needed to be addressed. She knew she was selfish for bringing it up but it still had hurt a bit that he left even though she partly knew he had to. He gently cupped her face and put their foreheads together, a gesture that is quickly becoming something that they would be known for to calm each other down. Stefan parted a bit with remorse written on his face.

“I’m sorry I left that way. But please know that at the time I thought that me being away from you would be better for you. It killed me that I couldn’t wake up to see your face every day and I had missed you so much that I even began to dream about you. I won’t as for forgiveness but please know that everyday I yearned to be with you.”, Stefan waited for her decision. He was rewarded with a soft kiss which he eagerly reciprocated. She had a blush but again had a smile that melted him.

“I understand it was better for us to be apart at the time. My world was already in chaos and it hearing about my pregnancy and relationship with a creature would have drove it towards an edge. Fate had planned for us to meet now and I’m not one to look in the horse’s mouth.”, they almost got lost in each other’s eyes until Remus had cleared his throat pointedly and said with his eyes to finish the rest. Hailey turned scarlet at the reminder of an audience but continued.

“In my world that registers us as a married couple and they make it register to this side as well. I didn’t know about this until later. In order to understand this next bit is to know that I am the Mistress of the Death. I am immortal but I don’t require blood and there really isn’t a way to kill me. Being the mistress essentially means that I have the power to avoid death and communicate with it. I’m not sure what other powers come with it. There was a prophecy a long time ago that said that the Master of Death and a Creature of Death would be able to make the Heir of Death. That was how we got Caelan. But the thing is, is that I’m also Magic’s Chosen. Essentially I’m able to do things with magic nobody could ever do. Magic also wanted an heir for that mantle and so Magic’s Heir was born with the Heir of Death, Cedar. Not to mention in my world it’s also not so rare for a magical vampire male to get a witch pregnant. The thing is in my world I’m considered a big deal so I needed to move to the normal world. It really was just coincidence that me and Stefan had reunited here.”, she finished with an impish smile.

The pack now knew the story of the Potter-Salvatore family. It was an absolute marvel children had been born to a vampire father and a witch mother. Both races had been thought to absolutely despise the other and one race was cursed with never being able to procreate. Yet the Potter-Salvatore family had just destroyed that known fact. Children that are half witch and half vampire in a way similar to them, not really belonging to either kind so having to become their own. It made the hybrids want to protect the boys. Klaus saw the determination in their eyes and saw the same fierce protectiveness in his sister’s eyes that was usually held for those in their family. Stefan and Hailey had wormed their way into her heart and their children had quickly captured it. Nik had stepped up and did what no one believed he was capable of doing. He kneeled.

“I, Niklaus Mikaelson, Alpha of the Hybrids hereby swear that my pack will protect the Potter-Salvatore family. May our families remain allied and flourish in growth. Please know that by marrying Stefan this now makes Hailey Potter my sister and I will protect her as such. With their children as my nephews anyone that dares to harm them will meet an excruciating end.”, Klaus had said it so inspiringly that soon his hybrids had followed his example and his sister had as well. Rebekah couldn’t hold back her smile if she could, she finally had a sister and nephews to boot!Hailey then shocked them. She got to her knees and brought Stefan and the boys with her, took Klaus’s hand into hers and smiled to him. Her family came up behind her and also took a knee to show that they are behind her and support her. She took her other wand to raise her wand in the air.

“As you are now my brother I pledge a magical oath to your pack. I, Hailey Jamie Potter, hereby state that the Hybrid Pack is under our protection. Any who declared your enemy is now ours. As we are now family we are equal. You protect us and we protect you, so I say so mote it be!”, at her words her wand began to glow and shoot a spark of magic in the air. The oaths and vows done everyone in the room was contempt with the silence. But it was broken when Hailey’s stomach made itself known again. They all made their way to the large dining table and started the feast. Not worried about muggles Tonks had conjured a high chair for Teddy out of the chair next to her. Hailey had summoned the twins bassinet and charmed their bottles to hold themselves as the twins ate. They did it so nonchalantly that they ignored the awed looks from the pack. Ron had started plucking food so quickly that it startled the rest to start eating as well. They mostly talked about the new comers, the babies, what made the difference between them and wiccans, and how Remus was a slightly different werewolf. Rebekah was chatting with Hermione and Tonks was pleasantly surprised to find out there was a whole world of shopping that she had yet to explore. They were gonna have to wait a few days before they could have a shopping spree but plans were being made.

A gentle jingle went off that alerted that the boys were done eating. Hailey went to go and pick them up and began to burp them, Stefan followed and held Caelan while she held Cedar. She decided to move the bassinet closer to her seat so she hovered it over, she gestured to Stefan and both put their children in. She looked through the baby bag and found the boy’s pacifiers, it lulled them to sleep fairly quickly due to their tummies being full. Seeing the boys falling asleep reminded Remus to give Hailey her room key. “Cub, here’s yours I already have mine as do Ron and Hermione.”, Stefan looked confused at the key what was it for?

“Oh yeah, we checked the house. The outside is pretty good but the inside needs some color. The furniture needs to be bought, so we’ll look at catalogs tomorrow. We’ll need kitchen stuff and bathroom stuff but that’s about it. But everything will feel just like home once we start hanging some pictures and portraits around. We already put your bags in the Master bedroom Hailey, awesome part is that it connects to a smaller room that can be made into a nursery. Also, Remus, Tonks we made sure to make a door between yours and Teddy’s nursery.”, Ron and Hermione checked out the house. There was some workers fixing it up from the ministry that mostly just stayed out of their way. They were replacing paint, getting rid of mold, and remolding the house essentially to be more modern on the inside and keep the look on the outside. The man in charge said it would be ready by tomorrow morning as planned. They could have the workers do everything for them but then it wouldn’t feel like home.

Stefan was starting to feel worried, he didn’t want to be separated from his mate and sons! His vampire was beginning to go into a frenzy as well, they went so long without her being in a different building will definitely make him neurotic. But they already made arrangements for the night and he can’t just insist for her family to spend the night when it wasn’t his house. He felt his head spin but luckily his pseudo brother was having the same idea. A recovering ripper has very gentle control, Stefan having to deal with everything here is already pushing it as it is. Klaus has no doubt that Stefan could recover, he has trained and pushed himself so much to have a good control of his bloodlust he just needed a bit more time and of course the support of his mate. “How about you spend the night here instead, after today’s events I would rather we have everyone in one place?”, Klaus offered.

“That’s very kind of you but we wouldn’t want to impose-“, Remus didn’t want to impose on the man. He and Moony are not sure how to view Klaus yet. He was the brother to what is basically his nephew-in-law. It seems strange to view him as a nephew though since Klaus and Stefan were older than him. Perhaps being with them for the night would help. But there was a question that he needed an answer to before he could agree.

“Please you would be easing me and we have more than enough room for everyone.”, Klaus insisted. He could see Remus was willing to accept. He could see Stefan getting anxious while waiting for Remus’s decision.

“Well…thank you. But that does bring up what had occurred today, why on earth would you need to be eased and why did we hear about Hailey having been involved in some brawl?”, he was worried about what dangers she could encounter. They left the wizarding world because of its laws and fighting even after the war. They just wanted some semblance of peace.

“I’m afraid that would be my fault. While we trying to get Hailey something to eat earlier we ran into my biological brother Damon. Damon resents me for a lot of things and he was trying to get a ride out of me and he succeeded. He insulted me and then moved to try and seduce Hailey in front of me. Next thing I know he’s on the ground and I’m punching him in the face.”, Stefan said with guilt lacing his tone. But Remus understood as a creature himself. The nerve of that man to try and do that to a mated couple, mates were not common in their world but not unheard of they were considered sacred in creature law. But unless properly bonded, a wedding ceremony, their world would dismiss it. Hearing of this Damon’s actions reminded him of the stories he’s heard of noble men trying to force a mated woman into courting or marriage and completely ignoring the mating bond. To families like the Malfoy’s and Parkinson’s they deemed mating to be below them. He sneered at the thought of his niece being pursued by some deviant that didn’t respect the bond.

Remus looked to Stefan and saw how he still had a face of guilt, that needed to stop. “Get that look of guilt of your face! What you did was justified, a man, a brother no less is supposed to respect a relationship between a man and a woman. Your brother did not, in creature law it would have been justified for you to take his head off.”, he took a deep breath he needed to calm himself before Moony takes it as an invite to go and look for the other Salvatore brother. “What I’m saying is a man protects what he loves and you did that granted it could have been in a more controlled manner. But I will not scold you on defending Hailey and your sons. We are family now and we accept all of you, your brother is just something that if necessary will be dealt with.”, Remus said as he walked to Stefan and put a hand on his shoulders. Family means being there for each other through thick and thin it is not determined by genetics or blood. He gave Stefan an understanding smile, Hailey was close and drew them both for a hug with happy tears in her eyes. Both men were flustered but still had smiles.

“Hermione be a dear and call the hotel we’re staying here for the night.” Remus requested to Hermione she smiled and got the deed done. Klaus had send a group of Hybrids with Ron to go get the luggage but they didn’t expect to side-along apparate with him. He got a scolding from Hermione when he returned as the hybrids were very nauseous. The pack took turns patrolling easing Stefan, Klaus, and Remus. The hybrids usually stayed on the first floor to sleep. The couples roomed together in the barely used second floor. Stefan had his own room and was delighted to have his family sharing it with him. Hailey fed the boys once more before burping them with the assistance of Stefan. They put them to sleep in the bassinets Hailey hovered from the dining room. Stefan chuckled at the simple yet amazing use of magic. He wasn’t sure if Bonnie could even do something like that.

That night Rebekah and Klaus had a serious discussion. Klaus was nearly complete in making hybrids, enough to protect his family from Mikael but it brought the question of their brothers. He had no doubt that his brothers would want to inflict serious damage to him but he made a vow. Rebekah was with him, ever since Hailey entered Stefan’s life and in return them entering the family Klaus had seem closer to how he had been when they were human. He’s progressed so much and went to extreme lengths to ensure their family safety from father. She suggested that they undagger their brothers as soon as Hailey, the boys, and the rest of the family were in their new home. There was no way they were gonna risk their lives with their brothers thirst. She made some suggestions to make her brothers forgive Klaus faster.

Elijah would need to have a conversation with Klaus, a long one and once he sees how much Klaus resembles his old self things will be fine. Kol would be tricky as all he was ever interested in was witches and magic, though a light went up in Klaus’s head at that. After Kol gets his anger out he would reveal what he has learned, a whole world hidden filled with magic. Rebekah thought about it and it should be enough to placate Kol and after he’s controlled his hunger he could even meet the new witches and wizards of Mystic Falls. Rebekah had doubt on Finn, all he ever cared for was Sage and Klaus killed her. She slapped Klaus on the head and berated him for doing so but was momentarily shocked to see his confusion. He never killed Sage, it spurred Rebekah. That was it! All was needed was to locate Sage and Finn would be fine.

Before going to sleep that night for Klaus he was plagued with thoughts on his brothers. He knew that the bonds he had with Kol and Finn needed serious mending. After so long he just wanted his brothers back, for them to be safe and he didn’t care if he made them angry by doing so. What hurt would be knowing that he hurt his brothers in another way. They were well adverse with anger but he knew that like Elijah all his brothers needed a conversation perhaps multiple. But he wouldn’t stop until they realized that they were family and he needed them safe. They could hate him but he would never forgive himself if they thought in any way that they didn’t matter to him. Every sin and atrocities he had committed had been to protect his siblings, even if to them he was just their…bastard brother. He went to sleep hoping for the future to shed light on his family old and new.

Stefan felt completely content and slightly embarrassed. Hailey was dressed in ONLY a t-shirt with her underwear. We had similar sleeping attire but she seemed completely oblivious to what having her so close to him is doing. She was already asleep and they were spooning but he had a…problem. She would shift and accidentally rub against him taking him forever to will away his…stiffness. But he went to sleep happy. Every three hours the boys would wake demanding nourishment and attention. He and Hailey were grateful that they did it at the same time.

It did give him the chance to think through the night, he panicked at not being with Hailey for the night how would he handle her being in an entire different building. He brought it up with her and she was understanding she had actually planned to invite him to live in their mansion as they were married it made sense for them to live in the same home. It made him elated but he had to tell Klaus, they would need to make a new schedule to keep his training up. When the morning came there was more pack family cooking, Stefan cooked Hailey her share as she had to feed the boys. He was rewarded with a delightful thank you kiss that had everyone wolf-whistle at them. Stefan told Klaus about upcoming changes and Klaus was happy to make a few tweaks to their schedule. Someone rung the doorbell breaking the happy domestic atmosphere, Tyler stood up to answer it after getting a nod from Klaus. They all grew annoyed as the person started impatiently banging on the door.

They were beyond annoyed when it was opened to reveal Damon and Elena. They pushed pass Tyler as if they owned the place and marched to the dining table. Hailey’s family was confused as who they were until they saw the look on Hailey’s face. She looked uncomfortable and annoyed and that was enough for her family to know that these people were here to bring trouble. Remus was sitting in front of Stefan and nudged him to get his attention. He raised an eyebrow and Stefan let out an annoyed sigh that caused Damon to smirk at him and Elena to just look disappointed…but it turned into jealousy at seeing the new girl right next to Stefan. “Might as well get this out of the way, that is Damon, my brother, and that’s Elena Gilbert. Her blood, while human, let’s Klaus make hybrids.”, Stefan didn’t say anything more as that is all they were to him now. They nodded in understanding, Elena looked angry at Stefan’s introduction of her. It turned angrier when the new girl put a hand on Stefan as if to assure him of something.

Klaus was the one to ask the question. “Miss Gilbert I do believe that we don’t require you for another three days. What on Earth are you doing in my home, uninvited?”, he hoped and prayed to anyone listening that Salvatore hadn’t convinced her to lash out.

“Who is she and what do you have planned Klaus?”, the nerve of this human girl.

“I believe I already told you who she is Elena. She’s my wife and mother to my-“, Stefan was saying annoyed but then got cut off by his infuriating brother.

“That’s total crap and you know it Stefan!”, Damon was done with that stupid cover story.

“Well not that it’s any of your business but Hailey is a witch, not like Bonnie and her mind at all, and the boys are halflings. Half vampire, half wizard.”, he proceeded to explain their story for what felt like the fifth time. He ignored the disbelieving scoffs and annoyed glares from both of them. He got agitated when Elena had started to glare and march up to him and Hailey. She ignored the tables warning growls and then proceeded to rant.

“You can’t expect us to believe that a vampire knocked you up! I remember Stefan coming back from that mission and it was like three months ago. If he had been able to actually put a baby in you wouldn’t they need more time to actually be born?”, she ended with a scoff. Elena thought back on the night Stefan came back and he had those marks that had nearly driven her crazy! That damned new girl was the same girl that left those disgusting marks on Stefan! As soon as she was done she felt her hair begin to stick up on its ends. She looked and saw that little attention hogger had a blank face but her eyes were glowing and brewing a storm. She was about to make another remark when she was suddenly upside down in mid air. She went up with a startled yelp and felt as if a rope was hanging into her foot, she was flailing about that she didn’t notice the room go deadly silent as the Mistress of Death made her way in front of her. Damon was about to speed to them but was held back by Stefan and Tyler. Elena stopped struggling and shouting when a delicate hand and held her face in a painful grip.

“I don’t care what you believe it doesn’t change the fact that Stefan is the father to my sons. You are of great value to Klaus at the moment so I won’t harm you for your disrespect of my family. But know this I could kill you with two words, I could make you bite your tongue and fingers off with a single word, and with a single word I can make you feel as if your blood had been replaced with molted lava. Don’t ever believe that I will stand for your spoiled behavior, any disrespect or harm to my family and any nightmares you have I will make into a reality.”, her family was standing at attention just as they did in the war. Her voice used with Elena was reserved for death eaters and Voldemort. It put terror and respect though anyone soul who heard it, except for Damon and Elena they had pure terror on their faces. Stefan was practically drooling over how fierce Hailey had spoke. He and Tyler finally let Damon go when Elena had fallen in a very ungraceful heap on the floor.

Damon pulled Elena close to him once he got her off of the floor. She was enjoying being so close to Damon but she couldn’t ignore how Stefan was fawning over Potter. Elena was furiously jealous that girl was gorgeous, apparently had married Stefan, and given him children. She would have never been able to do any of that and standing in the same room as Potter makes her feel inadequate. She needed her gone now! Not to mention Potter is a threat, maybe she had Stefan under some spell, and maybe she was there to threaten Elena. She whispered to Damon her thoughts and Damon was set in at least leaving a mark. Damn Stefan again for getting everything! Elena was still pining over him and now he had a gorgeous witch on his arm! And apparently he was a father, that was Damon’s dream first, he’s older, he deserves to have what he wants too!!

The whole room was now ignoring their existence. It reminded Damon of when he was a human child and baby Stefan was born. Suddenly he didn’t matter, he was overlooked, he only got attention when he demanded it. But Stefan had some weird talent that made people pay more attention to him. He didn’t have everyone watching him and that had made a very resentful Damon. It had gotten slightly better once Stefan got older but the resentment never disappeared, it multiplied when Katherine came. He made his way to the little witch bitch and her brats. Stefan was across the room previously talking to Klaus and trying to ignore their presence. But his vampire face came in full force at seeing Damon near his wife and children.

Damon, who loves to torment Stefan at any chance he gets, leaned over Hailey when Stefan was being placated by Klaus to not go into a murderous rage. Flirting with her was getting him nowhere and he was staring to get annoyed. He put his hand on her shoulder and was planning to crush it with his enhanced strength to give her a good scare when the unexpected happened, at least to Damon and Elena. The twins while still infants where very in tune with energy, to the point that they could be empaths. They sensed their ‘uncle’s’ energy, it was filled with so much negativity that the twins had a flight or fight reaction. They were definitely their parents children as both reacted with fight. Caelan had hissed and protracted his baby fangs and bit the hand that intended to cause his mother harm. While Cedar in distress used his accidental magic to start throwing anything that wasn’t nailed to the ground at him bringing the situation to the whole room’s attention. Elena cursed under her breath.

Once he saw his brother’s hand on his mate he was engulfed with possessiveness at seeing it, protectiveness from seeing how much distress her and the twins are, and saw red as Damon had soon recovered and turn his anger from Caelan biting him and Cedar throwing things, to Hailey. Damon had started to protract his fangs to drain Hailey as punishment but was interrupted from it as his little brother had decided to punch him in the jaw. The punch was strong enough that it shattered his jaw and threw him into the opposite wall. Soon a whole team of hybrids had him pinned to the ground as the Original hybrid himself walked over and bent at his waist to speak to Damon.

“Now, I believe we have given you fair warning about trying to harm her. Not to mention the twins poor throats from crying. You have broken the agreement now, Elena dear I’m afraid he must be punished.”, Klaus said. His voice sounded nonchalant but his face gave off how angry he was. He had his eyes glowing and glaring down at Damon. He made a shooing motion with his hand and the hybrids took it as the sign to drag Damon to the dungeon. Damon was trying to break free but the hybrids didn’t let up. Elena started to panic.

“You can’t do that! We had a de-“, she was on the verge of having another crying hit when she was cut off.

“The deal was that I can’t hurt you or anyone you cared for. However it did not say anything about Rebekah and Stefan and definitely nothing about our new family members. They have total freedom to enact the punishment the elder Salvatore deserves.”, Klaus said with an impish smirk. He had his hands behind his back to indicate that it wasn’t his hands that would have Damon’s blood on them. She looked to Stefan ignoring his glare and ran to him and clenched at his forearms. Causing Hailey to glare at her.

“Stefan please! Be reasonable this is your-“, she was starting to shake him and plead with him. But Stefan was fed up and pushed her away. The action itself made Elena had a face on as if he had just slapped her.

“NOT MY BROTHER ANYMORE ELENA! He had his chance and he tried to hurt my wife and sons! Every instinct in me is begging for me to end him! Be grateful that Klaus hasn’t decided to kill him!”, he was fed up with Elena shrieking and grabbing him. It felt wrong to have her touch him. Elena fell to her knees with unshed tears in her eyes and looked shocked at Stefan’s disregard of her. She looked to Tyler in hopes of getting sympathy but he was avoiding her eyes and instead focusing on making the twins laugh at his silly faces. He and Ron were actually succeeding which made Hailey smile. At seeing her smile Elena had enough and stormed out of the mansion and back to the boardinghouse.

There she found the gang that had answered her calls, as usual. All of them had hesitant faces on after what happened at the grill. When Elena retold her story of what occurred they dreaded what she was going to ask of them. They were given warnings but of course Damon had to go and mess with the person that they were told under no circumstances to mess with. The girl was a new mother for goodness sakes, why would Damon and Elena try to hurt her?! Bonnie had asked the very question and Elena started on again. Caroline had enough of hearing how Elena was making it seem that they were attacked and of course making herself the damsel in distress. Especially since Elena’s plan was to break in the Mikaelson Mansion to get Damon.

“Elena! I would rather choke on my own intestines before risking my life for Damon!”, Caroline finally snapped. With tears in her eyes she finally turned her back to Elena and made her way to the door.

“We can’t just abandon him, Care! Think of everything he’s done for-“, Elena was ready to start one of her insufferable speeches about how Damon had redeemed himself but was cut off abruptly. Everyone deserved a second chance but…Damon Salvatore has had more than enough chances. His own brother had been able to see that why can’t Elena!?

“For YOU, Elena! For you and even then it’s for selfish reasons. Elena I have been your friend since forever but I can’t do it anymore. After everything he’s done, you still want him. He’s the reason your biological dad died remember! Because he was selfish and forced his blood onto you! He’s the reason I had turned into a vampire because he was taking advantage of me and didn’t want his walking blood bag to die! He killed Mason, Elena! You know the guy that babysat us until we were thirteen! The worst part is, is that I know that none of this changes how you feel towards him!”, she couldn’t hold anything back anymore! She was sobbing everything out and Elena had misty eyes but didn’t challenge anything she was saying. So much had happened, they all had lost so much, and what she named was only what she knew of. They all had their grievances with Damon but Elena seems to just wave them off.

“I know Elena that the reason you started liking Damon was because he didn’t care who he hurt in order for you to be alive, which unfortunately includes the rest of us! I’m done Elena, I’m done with everyone your supposed to care about being disposable side characters in your life!”, with everything out in the air the room was silent. Caroline had tear tracks on her face and she finally walked out of the room. She just couldn’t handle it anymore, Elena didn’t care and even encouraged Damon to try and hurt the new girl. A girl in which she knew had babies to mother, she just couldn’t believe Elena would be so selfish to want to get rid of that girl just because Stefan fell for her. She needed someone to talk to…hopefully Stefan wouldn’t mind another person on his side. Tyler had the right idea about staying with his new pack. Maybe she could finally get to know the Originals a bit more without Elena and Damon whispering in her ear. She made her stance known she wonders what the rest of them will do.

Chapter 9

Immortal Dilemmas

~Time Skip 2 and 1/2 Months Later~

*Hailey Potter*

 With how big she has gotten she is surprised by how much bigger she will be getting. By Hermione’s calculations Hailey is considered to be in the 7 month gestation period despite only having to cook the bun in her oven for a little over two months. They were right to start the preparations for the baby as soon as they left Hogwarts and arrived back to base. Hailey made it a point to move in and never leave the Burrow after her first month unless absolutely necessary. Which was a good decision as an unexpected affect with Hailey being pregnant with a Muggle Vampire lead to her being very adverse to the sun, she had an instinct whenever she didn’t have Stefan’s ring with her to just avoid direct sunlight as much as possible. She had stuck her hand near the window once to close while it was still sunny without the ring, it was strange as the sun didn’t harm her but it was almost as if her baby had just projected their instinct of avoiding the sun. Her pregnancy while similar to witches with a vampire as the sire, still had many unknown factors with Stefan being a muggle. Glamours were uncomfortable to have on too long and with how petite she was you could already tell she was carrying when she was in the considered three month gestation. Everyone was informed of her pregnancy being faster than normal but they were still shocked to see her growing so rapidly.

 With only the Weasley parents, Ron, and Ginny staying at the Burrow they were happy to offer up any of the boys previous rooms for Hailey to pick for her and her baby. She decided to choose Bill’s old room as he has a noise cancellation charm on his room from his early days of practicing curses. Despite everyone’s protest she didn’t want to bother anyone if the baby gets fussy at night. She had commissioned the twins and Bill to help develop a necklace that unleashed a very strong Stupify and Protego when the wearer was attacked. Remus and McGonagall had decided that with her baby on the way she would need to catch up quickly to graduate early from Hogwarts. The Ministry would just take it as her not wanting to be overrun with hordes of fans at Hogwarts.

 During her first month she had done all the necessary shopping. With a limited amount of magic that can be used on a pregnant woman she forego all but one spell to use on herself, Puer Conditione. It was used to check on the baby’s heartbeat and health. But with the refusal to do a gender reveal spell she decided to get mostly monochrome and prime color onesies. In her shopping people had just assumed she was shopping for her godson. She did decide to get a couple of onesies that magically resize for ages newborn to five years old. She had gotten a griffin onesie and a dragon onesie for her baby to enjoy. She grabbed a cat onesie as a joke for Teddy, but Remus was dismayed to tell her that his son absolutely loves it. She couldn’t hide her smirk from him.

 She wasn’t going to buy baby toys yet but she did buy a bouncer with the Hogwarts house’s mascots that’s enchanted to start rotating and play ‘twinkle little star’. She was gifted with a few things from her family that she is sure her baby will absolutely love. Hermione had enchanted a few baby books to show the story until she could start teaching her niece or nephew to read early. Ron had gifted her a Winnie-the-Pooh bear and ensured her it was enchanted by Bill to prevent it to being tampered with, he said so while sending a glare to the twins. The twins had gifted her a blanket that was black and purple that was in the shape of a bat, she of course snorted at the design. Molly gave her a self written little notebook that had a lot of good tips in calming down the baby with just about anything at hand. Arthur had given her a family of rubber ducks. Charlie gave her a couple of stuffed dragons that were charmed to fly around the room at a slow pace. Bill had given her a book of runes in case she wanted extra protection around the baby’s crib. Percy had gotten her a few adorable onesies that had printed suits on it, something about it’s never too early to dress for the job you want. Ginny had given her a kiddie broom, she’s going to wait a while before letting the baby on it. Remus gave her the same gift that he gave her parents apparently, a coupon book for anytime that she would need him to watch her little bundle of joy.

 By the time she was in the last week of her first month her magic had been proven to spazz out. Ms.Weasley was overjoyed, she said it was an old wives tale about that if the mother experiences random accidental magic burst it increases the chance that her baby would be magically gifted. Remus told her about her mother having to deal with everything in the room floating and bouncing whenever she had hiccuped inside her womb, James was overjoyed. Molly had told her it’s expected for a pregnant witch to do at least one burst of accidental magic or it would be considered a sign that the baby was going to be born without magic. While it made her happy as it could mean her baby is able to protect themselves, Hailey did not care if her baby ended up a squib or the next Merlin she just wants them to be healthy and happy. Every other day her baby would either kick or hiccup and something would either be transfigured in some way or charmed to float or stick to the ceiling. By the time her second month started she was practically buying Honeydukes out of every Bloodpop they had, and is she was out the only other way to appease her child’s hunger was a barely cooked steak or a Blood Replenishment potion. Other than that her baby had apparently gotten her sweet tooth and was constantly wanting some dessert with any meal she had. Though she was glad to have the idea of melting down her Bloodpops as a kind of syrup for her desserts, the baby loves it for sure.

 It had also became apparent when the baby started kicking that it was going to be a rough few weeks. While it was a joyous occasion to feel the little one move it would more often then not leave her with a massive bruise or some bone bruising on her lower stomach. Being one of Madame Pomfrey’s patient came with perks. She already knew Hailey’s history, she wouldn’t go to the prophet, and she was trust worthy enough to be told about Hailey’s unique pregnancy. She had told Hailey a fact that depressed and at the same time filled her with joy. Her baby was half vampire but wouldn’t truly become one until they come of age. While happy she won’t have to see her baby grow old and pass she was also sad that they would also not have a choice in becoming immortal like the mother and father. But the baby will already have most of a vampires abilities but will go into their true inheritance by the time they become of age. The baby will only have one weakness and that is a herb called vervain. She had given Hailey a batch of Blood Replenishing potion, Skele-Gro to help strengthen her bones, and a vial of healing cream for her bruises. It was decided that in order to keep her baby safe it would be better to have the delivery at the Burrow and contact Madame Pomfrey immediately. At Saint Mungo’s it was too much of a chance to rely on patient confidentiality when everyone wanted the smallest details about her. Her child would never be left alone if word got out and it would be harder to leave the community. Having the baby at home was her best bet.

 “Oh, come off it Fred! I’m obviously going to be the cool uncle!”, George had said one day entering the sitting room with his twin in tow from the floo.

 “You come off it! Grown people can’t even tell us apart how on Merlin’s Beard is the baby going to be able to!”, Fred said to rebuff him. Then of course Ron and Ginny entered the argument stating it wouldn’t matter if the baby would be able to differentiate them. They were of course going to be the cool aunt and uncle. That sparked an argument with Hermione and Ginny. And the twins and Ron just kept spouting off about how they were of course going to be the baby’s favorite. With everyone shouting her annoyance and temper had started to spike. Over the few weeks they had learned pretty quickly that her temper was to be even more feared than a Molly Weasley Howler. Her mood swings was something they had not expected one day she had came down smiling which quickly turned to bawling, which turn to rage when the twins had asked her to calm down. They learned a very important lesson that day. So whenever they felt the air shift, the immediately paled and stopped talking. Hailey swept them with her eyes and a glare that made them fear for dear life. They let out a breath of relief whenever she got up a kind of waddled to the kitchen for more chocolate pudding it would seem the baby didn’t want much blood that day.

 Whenever she was left to her own devices all she thought about was Stefan. She wondered if by instinct that he knew he was going to be a father. She wondered how he was doing being away from her for an extended period of time with them being mates. She always had questions about their situation but there was hardly any place she could get answers from. Just like before her situation could only ever happen to her. Whenever she remembers their meeting she would absentmindedly play and fiddle with his ring on the necklace. She found out from Hermione that it was a daylight ring. She was filled with warmth when she had realized that Stefan had wanted so badly to leave a piece of him that he had risked being burnt up by the sun. She hoped that he was okay, she really hoped that his brother and ex-girlfriend were keeping their distance from him. From what she gathered from Stefan they were constantly a thorn on his side that believed that there was no way of them being wrong for whatever actions they did against him. Hailey just knows that if she ever meets them and see them being a bother to Stefan, she won’t hesitate to hex them into submission.

 Since returning she also was bombarded by the amount of mail she was getting from nearly every wizarding family in Britain. All of them were the same, thank you’s with eventually leading to that they wanted to repay her by offering their eldest son’s hand in marriage. She responded as respectfully as she could that she was not interested and had just wanted to recuperate from the battle. Most have given up but the Malfoy family has been very insistent especially Lucius with Narcissa backing him as it was always her plan to have Draco take the Black name and mantle. Lucius had been pardoned as he had told the Ministry who was a death eater in the inner circle and undercover at Hogwarts. His family, excluding Draco, was being snubbed by the entire wizarding community so he was trying to save face by trying, and failing, to arrange a marriage between Draco and Hailey. Draco was openly against the marriage as he felt that his entire life had already revolved around Hailey because of his father. He was grateful to her, they are in decent terms and he wasn’t going to repay her by trying to force himself on her. The least he could do for her now is taking his place as the head of the Malfoy family. His father being in Azkaban for an extended period with dementors should be enough to convince the Goblins that Lucius was not in the right mind to lead the family. He had told her of his plan through a letter he was able to secretly mail out.

 She did not want to marry anyone from the community, they were all just trying to share her titles. So she was happy to receive Draco’s letter. She was especially happy when she got a notice from Gringotts that ensured her that she wouldn’t and even couldn’t marry someone from the community.

* Flashback to 6 weeks ago *

 The makeshift family was trying to have breakfast but it was proving to be a bit difficult. Not difficult but most of everyone was just distracted and not paying attention to their own food. All the Weasleys were present along with Remus and Tonks with Teddy. They had decided that once a week they would gather enjoy a meal and of course check up on Hailey. She was at first making funny faces and playing peekaboo with her godson but then the food was put on the table. Hailey was eating everything that was put in front of her and her family just watched in awe. They weren’t use to her eating much, Molly had used to need to force Hailey to remember to eat meals and snack on more than one occasion. While finishing up her scrambled eggs, Hailey was about to ask for pancakes using a melted Bloodpop as syrup when she noticed in the corner of her eye a standard owl landing at the window. She took the letter expecting to see a wizarding family sigma but was surprised to see the Gringott symbol. She opened it knowing her family still had their focus on her and read aloud.

“Dear Lady Potter-Black

It has come to our attention that you have recently entered a mating bond with a Stefan Salvatore, a muggle vampire, we congratulate you for a successful ritual. Please note that the documents attached would make it official on Gringott records that Mr.Salvatore has now become your spouse and husband. It should also be noted that once sent to Gringotts it would also update your records at the Ministry without alerting officials there. Please do hurry to complete the documents. Congratulations and may your family line continue.

With Honor,

Griphook-Gringotts Head Goblin”, she was shocked but a small part of her was relieved. She knew that Stefan was it for her. She didn’t want anyone else and she hoped he felt the same. The goblins had always loved to pull a fast one on the wizarding community, so them ensuring that the most eligible bachelorette was taken was icing on the cake. It also means that no matter how hard Lucius would push for a marriage, he would never be able to make it happen. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she was only broken when she heard chairs scraping against the floor. She turned around and saw her entire family had faces with shock and disbelief. She tried to ease the tension.

“It’s a good thing Stefan already gave me a ring then to make it official.”, she said jokingly while unclamping the necklace to put his ring on her left ring finger. Then playfully she had started twirling her hand to show off the ring. But all that brought was them to just continue to stare at her until Ron had replied.

“Only you Hailey, could enter an accidental marriage while already carrying the bloke’s baby.”, he said with a sigh of begrudgingly acceptance. And everyone had copied his sigh. Hailey just continued to beam at them and stare fondly on her newly appointed engagement ring.

*End of Flashback*

 That was at least one problem solved in their predicament but there was also a few others. In her early weeks she was able to go around and keep up appearances by either baggy clothes for expected time consuming trips to wherever and a glamour for when it was for a shorter one. But five weeks in her pregnancy, it was apparent that she would need to have a glamour on for every trip and she was getting fed up of being hounded by reporters and paparazzi. She was advised to just stay in the Burrow as with her magic more in touch with her emotions now more then ever would likely cause a huge scene if a reporter like Rita Skeeter was going to continue grating on her nerves. She didn’t want anyone to know about her substantial power boost to her magic and it would obviously lead to questions on how she got it. So she opted to just stay home all the time.

 She was growing to be huge and she still had about half a month to go. She couldn’t see her feet anymore and she constantly complained about feeling like a whale on the beach when she couldn’t get up from her bed without assistance. Molly had said that the baby just looked bigger because she was a very petite girl. She was sure that her baby was either going to inherit either their father’s or their grandfather’s height with how big she was. Her father was 6’0 ft tall and Stefan was 5’11. She was going to be surrounded by tall people.

 She woke up one morning with Braxton kicks being a bit stronger than she was used to. Her baby was also not doing any favors by making it be known that they wanted her up.

 “Come on little one be nice for mummy, okay?”, she started to rub her belly to calm the baby and it eventually did the trick. It was a good thing she had downed some Skele-Gro the night before to make her bones repair and stronger. She was able to actually get herself up this morning without any help. She decided to wear the light blue maternity dress Molly had adjusted and handed down to her. It wouldn’t be good if anyone from Hailey Potter’s close knit circle was seen buying maternity clothes. Her dress was a bit snug in the chest area but it flowed freely. She had gone up a cup size during her pregnancy and was now a double d which did no favors for her poor aching body. Not to mention the damn Braxton kicks take a while to stop so she is definitely going to be sitting for most of the day. She grabbed the elder wand from her nightstand and quickly made her way downstairs before it could get stronger and force her to stay in her room for the day.

 It was another weekly meal and gather time, so everyone was present. By the time she was seated in her usual place she was hit with a very strong contraction that would of made her keel over if she wasn’t sitting. She let out a groan and it captured everyone’s attention. They all stood from their chairs in worry. Hermione made her way towards Hailey to see if she could be of any help. But then Hailey looked up to everyone with a pale face.

 “I think my water just broke!”, six simple words had caused every male in Burrow to start panicking. Remus and Arthur had fainted.

 “Quick! Someone call Pomfrey and get the bed ready!”, Molly had said and ordered. Ron and his brothers were quick to try and get Hailey to the bed. Bill, Charlie, and Percy were going to help move her and settle her. Ron and the twins making the bed as comfortable as possible for Hailey. Ron was on blanket and towel duty, George was in charge of getting as many pillows as he could for her and fluffing them, and Fred was to get the pails of water that would be needed. Once the room was ready and that Hailey was situated, Hermione kicked them out to help change Hailey into a medical gown that Poppy had given them. Once changed Tonks had pulled her hair back into a bun to not be in the way. Fleur had came in with Poppy as she was the one left to contact her. Hailey was starting to sweat and grunt as her contractions were getting closer together. Hermione came to her side to hold her hand in comfort. They both shared a weak and scared smile.

 “Alright everyone out! Ms.Granger you can stay as I’m sure Ms.Potter is likely to be more calm with you by her side.”, Hermione nodded in confirmation at Poppy’s words. Everyone had left the room and waited with everyone else in the hall. Seems like they finally resuscitated Remus and Arthur. They all waited anxiously. They started hearing Poppy encouraging Hailey to push and Hailey groaning in pain from doing so. It continued like this for an hour. Everyone had taken up rotating between sitting and clenching their hands to pacing. Then it happened.

 “Just one more big push Hailey the heads almost out!”, Poppy said loudly for Hailey to hear her over her groaning. She let out a scream as she pushed again and the she heard it. A newborn cry letting the family know that it was here.

 “Congratulations Ms.Potter you have a healthy baby boy!”, Poppy said while quickly swaddling the baby in a baby blue blanket. She smiled but it quickly faded and she felt another contraction hit her. She let out another loud groan. Poppy quickly gave the crying baby boy to Hermione who was too shocked to do nothing else other than hold him. What was happening?! Poppy had taken a look and was shocked to see that there was another head trying to come through.

 “Ms.Potter, I know your very tired but I need you to give me another good push!”, Hailey looked at her in shock. She was having twins?!? She felt another contraction hit and prepared herself. She was once again filled with fire. Her determination to birth her baby was just as strong as the first time. She kept pushing and pushing until eventually a similar cry rang through the room.

 “Another boy Ms.Potter!”, as Poppy was swaddling her other son in a dark blue blanket she leaned back on the pillows in exhaustion but was glad she was able to do it. Poppy had given her a potion that perked her up a bit but she was still very tired. She did it, she brought her little bundles of joy into the world. Hermione and Poppy smiled at her and presented her crying little boys to her. They had but diapers and little beanies on the babies already. Both a little pink but otherwise absolutely perfect in her eyes. She smiled as they had handed her boys over and placed them in her arms. Once they were settled in their mother’s arms the boys had finally calm down. She felt so happy finally holding her boys who were just as content to be with her.

 Her eyes started to water a little as she observed them and to her surprise opened their eyes to look at her. Her eldest in baby blue had inherited her emerald eyes and his brother in dark blue had inherited his father’s blue eyes with the perfect smudge of green. She pushed down her shock, smiled, and planted kisses to both of their heads. The babies gave her a little gummy smile. She was broken out of her trance when everyone had started to come in and see the new additions to the Potter line. All were shocked to see that Hailey had given birth to twins. Though not as surprised as they should be, Hailey is never one to follow the norm. She first did it by being the first girl born into the Potter family in the last millennia and now by being the first to give birth to twins in the family. Everyone had just stared at the babies and Hailey for a moment. Ron walked up to her and crouched to the bed level.

 “So, Hailey I take it I have nephews?”, Hailey just smiled. She looked to Ron and Hermione and it strengthened her resolve.

 “Well, I was actually hoping you could take on the Godfather title with Hermione as their Godmother.”, the couple went still and slowly they were both on their knees with tears of joy in their eyes as they looked at their best friend. Hailey then surprised them again by handing Baby Blue to Ron and Darker Blue to Hermione. Both gaining misty eyes again and rocking their godsons. Soon everyone had a turn in holding the twins. Soon enough Molly had fished out a wizard camera to take a moving picture. Everyone including Poppy had surrounded Hailey with the twins in her arms again on the bed. Molly set the timer.

 “Everyone say ‘Happy Birthday Boys’, when the camera goes off.”, and everyone did. On the back of the picture Hailey had written the boy’s birthday July 13th. Everyone had decided to let her rest. They would need to get another one one the boys got bigger.

 “Get some rest dear, once your ready we’ll help with naming the boys.”, with everything happening so fast she hasn’t got much of a chance to think about what to name her baby let alone both of her baby boys. Everyone left the room as peaceful as they could. She got her wand and softly lift the crib to move it closer to her. The boys were starting to fuss a bit at being hungry. Without thinking Hailey placed the boys gently onto the bead and started undoing the front of her gown. Once she raised them up she realized what she had just done. The boys were quick to calm down once they had gotten some of their mother’s milk in their mouths. She picked one up and started patting his back until he burped and repeated the process to his brother. They were quick to fall asleep after that with a few rocking motions. She placed them in the crib and just watched over them for a while. The boys were close and were holding hands and it was just the cutest thing that she couldn’t help taking another picture. Fatigue had finally hit her and she climbed back into bed and fell asleep as well.

*Hailey’s Dream*

 She was nursing one of the boys when she felt arms wrap around her waist and a chin on her shoulder. She looked to see Stefan looking at their son with a smile with his eyes filled with awe. She passed their son into Stefan’s arms and saw him panic but slowly relax as his son made his arms a temporary bed. She went to go get their other son when the dream started to shift and fade into a similar landscape that she has seen only once before. She turns around expecting to to see Sirius. She was shocked and her eyes were beginning to water, as while it was Sirius, in the black robes she saw in him last time, he was also accompanied with her father, who was in silver robes, both smiling like the marauders they were. She was reeling it in and counting to 10, she just needed to calm down before she accidentally starts crying at being with her father for the first time since she saw his spirit during the war. Once Sirius starting speaking she was able to listen.

 “Hello pup.”, her godfather said with a joyful smile, once she got a better look at him she realized he had actually become younger. When she looked to her father she noticed that he looked exactly as he did in her baby photos. She shakily made her way to both of them and could not stop herself from hugging them. She felt some tears escape but she calmed down after both of them had patted and rubbed her back, similar to what Remus did a while back. She pulled back and all three were smiling.

 “Hello Prongslette, I heard from your dogfather that you’ve been pretty busy. I’ve heard a few things about that mate of yours on this side. He’s got a pretty decent reputation. But that boy will be facing a haunting of his life if he steps a toe out of line.”, her dad said with a smirk. She blushed, their behaviors were a lot like Fred and George.

 “We were just given the news. Congratulations Bambi, you have led the Potter line to another generation! I’m a grandpa! I was super excited but your mother hexed me silly when I also started to call her grandma.”, her father added with a sheepish grin while rubbing the back of his nape, a similar habit she has when embarrassed.

 “Yeah, from what I’ve heard about mom, you had definitely dug yourself at least five more graves.”, she said to tease her dad. Her and Sirius shared a chuckle while her father pouted at them.

 “Now, Hailey I’m afraid we didn’t show up for a social call. Death wants a meeting with you about recent developments, they’ll also have some company.”, Sirius said and just like that the mood became somber, she knew something must have changed the prophecy had predicted one child bit twins. What happened?

 “As you know Sirius will be the vessel for death. However I myself have no clue who’s vessel I’ll be.”, her father said with little worry and her godfather shared the same attitude. Safe to say she now knows why Moony has so many gray hairs. Sirius, just like before, had his robes hood go over his eyes and her dad’s robes followed it’s lead. Death was quick to give greetings to their mistress.

 “Hello my mistress, I am pleased to see that the Heir has been born.”, Death would be even more please if his sibling would leave. Death did not want to share their mistress. When James had started to speak it was very different from Death’s voice, the voice coming out had no gender and had a presence that made Hailey feel in awe.

 “Hello our Chosen.”, they said with a smirk while side glancing at their sibling to see them highly irritated. Hailey was very confused who exactly is Death’s sibling and why were they calling her their Chosen?

 “Allow us to introduce ourselves. I am what you identify as the force of Magic. And we call you our chosen for in simple terms we favor you in magical power, as we have done to your ancestors as well. We allow you to do the impossible and things never done with magic before. I believe in your community they would compare you to our previous Chosen, Merlin.”, Magic said then waited a while to see their new Chosen’s reaction. She seemed to have gone into shock as she just kept staring at them while doing an impression of a goldfish.

 “Magic’s Chosen?!?! I’m already out of the norm already by being a forever sixteen year old mother and Mistress of Death!! Now your saying me and my children are the descendants of Merlin and have the chance to be that powerful?!?”, she said on the verge of hysteria. Her children and her have hit the pinnacle of Potter Luck. She would never have a semblance of a calm life, she thought with a bittersweet tone. After losing her cool, she took a deep breath in and let out a very defeated sigh. By now she should just accept that her life could never be calm or resemble anything close to average.

 The entities looked weary and were waiting for her to calm down before talking again. Magic had decided to interfere and called in a favor with their sibling Fate. While Fate hates that their siblings keep making them rewrite their plans they can’t do much, they owed them and they hate being in debt for favors. Once it looked like she was waiting for them to get on with it, Magic stepped forward a bit.

 “As you know you are my Chosen and Death’s Mistress. We both wished to keep it in your bloodline but to make another like you was deemed to…be problematic for our other siblings. They have already witnessed you with the power of I, battling a man who has fifty years and over of experience and knowledge and winning despite not even getting a decent gauge of magical knowledge. Then of course as Death’s Mistress another added power boost, eternal life, and youth. It’s safe to say our siblings were weary of having two beings like that wandering the mortal realm. As such I brought up the idea of ‘dividing’ the power. So I asked Fate to instead give you two children, one to take my mantle and one to take Death’s.”, Magic said the last part as if it was the smartest plan they had ever come up with.

 “So, let me get this straight. In order for you to keep the power in my bloodline you decide to give me twins to split the responsibilities.”, that’s just…her little family is proving to be quite impressive. At least she won’t have to worry about the boys not being able to protect themselves.

 “Yes, mistress. I’m afraid that we must be going but our vessels have requested to take some time to speak with you. Being entities of powerful forces comes with too many responsibilities.”, both sighed in dread before flashing a small smile to Hailey. Their hoods dropped and James and Sirius were back having matching mischievous grins.

 “Now Bambi, as it’s possible we won’t be able to see you for a while we want to help in baby names. What ideas do you have so far?”, her father asked in excitement with a slight bounce.

 “It was actually what I wanted to ask you last time pup, we want to be able to help in naming the next generation of marauders! ”, Sirius said with a triumphant smile. She blinked in surprise but it melted into a soft smile. And she blushed at what she was going to tell them.

 “Well, originally I was going to name my baby James Sirius if it was a boy but I’m thinking one will be James and the other Sirius. ”, both males started to get misty eyed, they were happy that she was going to honor them by giving her boys their names but they also didn’t want the boys to feel like they had to be like them.

 “Thank you, Bambi. But the boys deserve to have their own identity.”, her father said. And she thought about it, her name itself would bring the boys trouble as no doubt people would put them on a pedestal if they were ever discovered. Then she came up with the perfect idea.

 “Understandable, so instead of first names they’ll have them as middle names. But what to give them as first names?”, she thought very hard. She knew she wanted the boys to share her titles. As per tradition her eldest will inherit the Potter name and her other son will inherit the Black name. Once her youngest becomes of age he’ll have to change his name from Potter to Black. Then a flash of Stefan smiling came to her. She wanted the boys to have their father’s name, as a second last name. On their birth certificates that Poppy had left for her she’ll have to write Potter-Salvatore. Once they reach the muggle world however they’ll only go by the Potter name. She then remembered that both her boys would inherit her…other titles.

 She thought about it and thought that perhaps she should name the boys after which title they would inherit. She thought about names and asked the males what name should she give to her so that would be Death’s heir. They thought about it, with a vampire father and with Hailey as his father he would no doubt be quite the fighter. Then Sirius remembered a name that he was forced to remember because of Pureblood lessons. It would be the perfect name for the son that would eventually become the Master of Death.

 “How about Caelan pup? In Irish Gaelic it means ‘eternal warrior’. ”, she thought about it and Sirius was right her son would be quite the fighter and as stated before they would all be immortal. She smiled at him then turned to her father for help in naming the son that would be Magic’s next Chosen. James really had to think about it, his first thought was Merlin but that was the equivalent to naming a child Buddha or Zeus. Not to mention his grandson would also be immortal and he’s like for it to start with ‘c’, it was better than having the twins have rhyming names. Then he remembered meeting a young man by the name of Cedric, he was the first to be taken at the beginning of the war but maybe something similar as again he wants his grandson to have his own name while try to honor the young man that had died for his daughter. Then he remembered Ollivanders, how their was a wood that fits the criteria perfectly and could be used as a good name.

 “How about…Cedar? It’s wood is used to make powerful wands and it’s also used to represent immortality. It also brings honor to a certain young man.”, she was shocked at the name. She didn’t realize her father met Cedric. But she thought about it the name matches perfectly. She always regretted not being able to save Cedric. She had nightmares of his death for a while, he was a good friend. He had died before he could actually live his life. She remembered everyone seemingly forget him as life kept going. She didn’t want for him to be lost to history, he didn’t deserve that. So she agreed, he deserved to be honored in some way just for him to know that she in no way would ever forget him. She gave both males a hug as she felt that she was beginning to wake up.

 She woke up to the sound of her boys getting fussy. She went to cradle both of them and both were trying to get to her chest, they must be hungry. She settled herself in bed and began nursing. While doing so she examined the boys. Now that she was well rested she could see that their eye color wasn’t the only thing that separated the boys. Fraternal twins then. Her babies were fair skinned like her but her younger baby seemed to have been unfortunate to get the Potter hair gene while his older brother inherited their father’s. A little while later she had put the boys back in their crib and wondered how she was going to decide which one got which title. She was getting the boys onesies ready for them to wear when they had started to miss her and both began to cry.

 She rushed back to them and they calmed down once they saw her, she smiled and pulled some funny faces for them. She picked them both up and decided to dress the older twin in the griffin onesie and the younger in the dragon onesie. She put them back in the crib to get the camera and soon enough they were crying from being away from her. She was trying to hurry but she couldn’t find that darn camera! She finally found it and rushed back to her babies, the scene she came back to shocked her still. Her son in the dragon onesie was floating while crying and her son in the griffin onesie eyes had changed: his sclera (white part of the eye) had become red and the veins surrounding his eyes also became red and more pronounced. Once they noticed her they calmed down and returned to their original state. She walked up to their crib with widened eyes. She tried to lift her own mood by telling herself the good news.

 “Well little ones you just made it easier for mummy to name you.”, she said in a baby voice that caused her boys to start smiling. She grabbed the birth certificate for her oldest and turned her head slightly to him.

 “You’ll be Caelan James Potter Salvatore. Heir to Death and to the Potter name.”, her son started gnawing on his small fist while just staring at her with the same emerald eyes. She used her elder wand to write it. She grabbed the other certificate and then she turned her head to her youngest.

 “And you will be Cedar Sirius Potter Salvatore. Heir to Magic and to the Black name.”, he just began yawning but Hailey was happy that her boys were no longer nameless. She quickly jotted the name down. She then started thinking of what other items that she was going to need to buy since they were expecting only one baby. She was interrupted from her thoughts when there was a knock at her door and it opened to the rest of the family. They all had matching faces of fondness when seeing her close to her babies. Then they noticed the certificates in her hands, she must have finally named them. Hermione and Ron walked towards her and asked if they could know their godsons’s name. She didn’t want to leave anything out so she explained about her dream to the point of the boys showing which names belonged to them.

 Ron’s eye started twitching, of course his poor godson’s would be ‘blessed’ by Potter Luck. Hailey noticed it and just started laughing at him. He ignored her and soon the room went quiet again everyone just staring at Caelan and Cedar. The rest of the family left the room soon to give the new mother some more time with her sons. She picked her boys up and sat down with them on her bed. The longer she looked at them the more she started to think of their father. She was sad that he missed the birth of his son and even more sad that he didn’t even know that he was a father. A hollow feeling was in her chest but she knew that there was a plan for them all and she would just have to follow it. Now that she had her babies it was now safe to travel, her family said it would be the safest option to leave soon after the baby was born.

 Some of the family had to stay behind to help in rebuilding and making sure to change the laws about half-lings. She had heard the bustle going on outside and knew that they would likely be leaving later on today or very early tomorrow. The family and her decided that when leaving for America she would be accompanied by Ron, Hermione, Remus, Tonks, and Teddy. She wondered if Teddy being half werewolf would cause a problem with the twins being half vampire. She quickly shook off the thought and put the boys to sleep after nursing them in their crib. She started packing her own things in her magically extended suitcase. Once she was done she called in her traveling companions and asked how they should decide where to go. Tonks holding a sleepy Teddy had handed her a dart while Remus and Ron had started to hang a map of America on the wall. Hermione was off to the side holding a few other maps.

 Pretty soon she got the gist of what she was supposed to do. She closed her eyes and threw the dart and it landed on the State of Virginia. Hermione quickly picked out the map of the state and handed it to Ron. He grabbed the dart off, hanged the map, and handed the dart back to Hailey. She closed her eyes again and when she opened them she saw that the dart had landed on very peculiar named town. Remus walked up to the map to get a closer look and while he did that Hailey observed him, he seemed to be fine around the babies so Teddy should be able to get along with them. She broke out of her thoughts when Remus started talking.

 “Alright, we’ll leave pretty early tomorrow so get a lot of rest tonight. Hailey make sure you eat soon. Everyone make sure you pack everything you need first then pack what you want. The babies will be a little fussy from a portkey but they’ll calm down a while after. We’ll be leaving for Mystic Falls at dusk tomorrow.”, with the agenda laid out everyone left her room. She looked at the map for a while and fiddled with Stefan’s ring that was still on her on her left ring finger before finally deciding it was time for her to eat. She picked up the boys and headed for the kitchen. Unknown to all of them the father of the boys was evading the wrath of his a thousand year old ex while his chosen brother was laughing at his expense. Unknown to the father his world was about to change in ways that he couldn’t even dream or imagine.

Chapter 15

Immortal Dilemmas

The Mikaelson’s never claimed to be kind and merciful vampires, on many occasions they have claimed to be the exact opposite. But what no one can deny is their loyalty and devotion to those they claim as family. They have their differences and feuds, but no one could deny the bonds in the family. With Stefan being accepted in to the family along with his wife and sons, that loyalty and devotion is extended to them and returned. Damon, however, had failed in seeing that. He thought at worst his brother would try to hurt him but ultimately forgive him later as always and for Klaus to show fake sympathy. He never expected for him to end up in the dark and damp dungeons under the mansion. He’s lost track of how long he’s been there.

Klaus, as agreed, has had no hand in Damon’s punishment and torture but Stefan and Rebekah had been very hands on. Rebekah had started by removing vital organs other than his heart and head from his body and making him crawl across the room to retrieve them. He was given barely enough blood to access his healing, what would have taken an hour to heal took him a day. That was the first week of his stay. Then his dear little brother came down, that ungrateful bratty brother of his had decided a very painful tactic. He was pinned to the wall by bear traps and still had open wounds from ‘Sexy Bex’ when his brother had decided that he was filthy. So slowly Stefan, with rubber gloves on to prevent himself from being harmed, cleaned the wounds and blood from his brother with water laced with vervain.

Ron and Hermione were enraged for their sister and nephews/godsons. It was decided that they would be the ones to teach Damon on their family’s behalf. They hadn’t used the Unforgivable Curses but had used some…not so kind spells after finding them in the Black family books. After the war they had adapted a grey morality, none of the trio had came out of it without blood on their hands. Ron had learned that it didn’t take a complicated spell in order to cause harm, especially to cause harm to a vampire. Ron had ignored the snarling from the bear trapped Damon and stabbed his wand through his forearm that caused Damon to grunt in pain. He then chanted, “Lumos Solem.”, and barely flinched when Damon started screaming his lungs out. The spell caused sunlight to be released out of the wand in a flash. It was enough to burn a medium sized hole and Ron proceeded to do so to each of Damon’s limbs. When finished Damon’s throat was hoarse and had tears running freely , “That was for making my godsons cry and hurting their poor throats. I thought best to just repay the favor.”, he ended with a smirk.

He would let Damon sit in a puddle of his own blood before leaving and healing him the next day, no blood required so no need to feed. Damon would beg for some but it fell to deaf ears. That was the routine for about three days before Hermione decided to be the final punisher for the remainder of Damon’s sentence. Damon kept obnoxiously flirting with her yet demeaning her at the same time. She learned a spell that had been used by death eaters quite frequently. Vampires enjoyed taking blood so much, how would one feel if theirs was practically drained out? “Sanguis Coquite.”, Damon had gone red and thrashed around as he felt the blood in his veins start to sizzle. It only stopped when he was on the brink of passing out, “I believe this would suffice in teaching you to never try and drain my sister. You try again and I’ll see to it that the last thing you feel is your blood evaporating from your body.”, she said as she snarled and violently gripped Damon’s face with her hand.

Klaus had decided to release him after three weeks. Three weeks of being tortured by vampires, a wizard, and a witch. I’m the whole time that Mystic Falls had known Damon Salvatore, it had never seen him so quiet after he had reappeared. The gang was worried about him just plopping down own the couch with an entire case of bourbon after he got out. He snapped at anyone that questioned what they did to him. He didn’t want them to know that in desperation he had begged…and cried. It took a week before he was back to his normal self but still flinched at the sight of the Potters.

During his confinement Elena had not been successful in getting help and on her own she couldn’t accomplish much. She threatened breaking the deal with Klaus but he coolly responded, “If that is what you so desire Miss Gilbert but be aware that breaking the deal will lead to me personally having access to do as I please to gain your blood.” She went white at the veiled threat. She thought briefly on how her loved ones could be affected and threw it away and thought on what matters the most to her. Herself, every doppelgänger has shown that all they care for is self preservation and getting what they want. She is no different and in a way similar to Katherine by setting a mask to hide her true self. Klaus had told her before that he could just put her in a coma and use her, she wasn’t about to risk that.

No one from the gang was willing to risk hybrid fury by trying to break into the mansion. After Elena described the abilities of the new residents while intrigued Bonnie still refused. Elena blamed Caroline for this. Ever since Caroline’s little rant everyone had stopped catering to her. She openly held a glare towards the Potter family and as such had started gossip in the small town. If anything it made Elena even more upset because it was giving more attention to Potter and her brats. But that was all she was allowed to do but if she so much as tried to purposely cough in their direction she would pay for it. It was needless to say the gang was restless. The humans of the group were done dealing with Elena shaped problems and dying then coming back to life with weird side effects.

Caroline was a traitor in Elena’s eyes, she had left when she was really needed. Caroline was tentatively talking more to Klaus and made it known to Stefan that she was trying to cut Elena out of her life. Stefan was happy for her. Klaus was ecstatic to get closer to the baby vamp. Everyone was hesitant but they gave Caroline the benefit of doubt. She and Tyler became close friends again but they wouldn’t pursue a relationship. She got to know the Potters a bit more and couldn’t believe Elena was spewing acid about such nice people.

In the meanwhile during Damon’s punishment the new residents of Mystic Falls have finally made themselves at home. Their house was feeling closer to home. The boys were growing beautifully and developing at a accelerated (to these parents any sign of the boys growing would be too fast) rate. Stefan and Hailey have had so much fun with their boys simply with tummy time and shaking rattles to see their adorable expressions. The only down part was when he went to the boarding house to pick the last few things he had gotten another earful from Elena. That day it was finally headed towards the cooler months. School would start in less than a month. She was still on the ropes about joining Ron and Hermione in muggle school. She wanted to be with Stefan but she didn’t want to leave Cedar and Caelan at home.

Stefan said whatever decision she would come to he would follow. If she wanted to go, he’ll be there walking her to classes and driving her home. If she wanted to stay home he would drop out and stay home with her to help with the boys. They would discuss it at length later. Hailey was wearing a black long sleeve, red plaid skirt (which if walked in a certain way drove Stefan insane), sheer leggings, and her combat boots. Stefan was wearing his dark grey leather jacket, a white shirt, black jeans, and combat boots. Cedar was in a black onesie with sleeves that had a magicians wand on it and he had red gloves and baby booties on. Caelan was in a red onesie that read ‘I BITE’ on it, it had sleeves and he had black gloves and baby booties on.

Hailey came with him as she trusted Elena as far as she could throw her with a pinky finger. He asked her to stay in the car with the boys but she got a feeling something was wrong and was proven right when she heard Stefan snarl. What is wrong with that girl?!

Why Elena was there he wouldn’t know, until he went into his room and was assaulted with the smell of her invading his once personal space. “Elena what the hell where you doing in my room?!”, he went to his closet and drawers and found that the majority of the clothes he had left were practically drenched in Elena’s overly candy sweet scent. She opened her mouth to answer but Stefan had spoke again,”Why the hell were you wearing my clothes!?” At this point she was in tears as Stefan looked at her is disbelief. Why couldn’t Stefan see that they were supposed to be together, with her not some witch?!?

“I missed you! Okay, Stefan I just missed you, Damons been here but then you took him away. And it doesn’t help that my heart always went back to-“ she was interrupted when Stefan had snarled at her. She tried to step closer and put her hand on his face but he sped away from her to the other side of the room. How dare she!?

“Elena! Get this through your head okay?! I don’t love you! I’m married! I have children! I love Hailey Potter-Salvatore! Give Damon your heart for all I care just leave me out of it! We’re done Elena we’ve been done for over a year!”, Hailey had came in with boys in her arms to see what was happening. Seeing her husband in a defensive position on the other side of the room was enough to tell her that once again Miss Gilbert was creating a problem. Hailey caught her husbands attention and he sped towards her and wrapped his arms around his family. He took comfort at the boys calm breathing and Hailey’s scent. She wordlessly handed him the boys after he calmed down enough. She turned to the doppelgänger and wasn’t surprised to see her fuming like a child that was told she wasn’t allowed to play with her old favorite toy.

“Now, Gilbert, I do believe I have warned you about staying away from my husband-“, she was interrupted when Elena stomped her foot. Like an actual child.

“Stefan should be with me! You trapped him. You-you- You Freak!”, and just like that it seems as if Hailey had shrunk in on herself and flinched away. Stefan had growled and passed the children back to her. Hailey looked up confused until Stefan had sped to Elena and had a hand around her throat. Elena was trying to push his hand off to no avail.

“I will not condone anyone badmouthing MY MATE AND WIFE! Especially you! If you ever do so again I will remove your heart and shove it down Damon’s throat! Do I make myself clear?”, he said calmly as if he was just asking her if she could pass a beverage. She nodded and she dropped to the floor trying to regain her breath. “Let’s go, hon.”, he directed a smile and got one in return. “There’s nothing here worth taking home anymore.”, he put his hand on the small of her back and headed with her back to the car. The car was silent with the occasional coo from the boys that made the parents smile as Stefan had his hand on Hailey’s thigh and she put her own on top of his. Stefan’s protective display had stirred something in her. He followed her up to the nursery and trailed after her like a puppy she proceeded to put the boys down for their evening nap. She took his hand and led him back to their room.

Their room had a dark red wall pattern and all the furniture was dark red oak. Their bed was a king canopy bed. He hadn’t understood the smirk his brother and sister in law had send his wife. Hailey later explained that it was similar to how her dorm room was like at her school. The house was practically filled with red and golden aesthetic, apparently their house colors.

He had a confused smile on his face and was pleasantly surprised when Hailey started kissing him passionately. He got his bearings and gripped her hips and deepened the kiss. When they broke apart they were both breathless and smiling. She nuzzled his neck and he leaned himself more towards her. He could feel her smile into his neck. “Thank you. With how everything was I never was protected like that. I was always supposed to be the one protecting. Don’t get me wrong, my siblings would be there but there were times when they couldn’t and it got to me.”, Hailey had said into his neck and he could feel the heat building on her cheeks. His heart broke for her and he made a silent vow to always protect her from even the smallest things. He cupped her face and made sure they were looking eye to eye.

“I will do everything I can to make sure that we are protected and safe. I-I love you, so much. So much more than I thought I was capable of feeling. The thought of you in any pain emotionally, mentally, or physically it just makes me want to bundle you up and get rid of whatever made you like that. You and the boys, you make my existence and immortality feel like a good thing.”, with Elena it was expected of him to protect her but with Hailey she didn’t expect anything from him, other than to keep looking at her the way he does now. It wasn’t one sided and it wasn’t him just giving and giving, it was mutual adoration. He protects and loves her and she doesn’t hesitate to return it. Elena had constantly talked of not becoming a vampire and not being able to handle immortality. But Hailey showed a light at the end of the tunnel, her and their boys were worth living through everything and anything. The resumed kissing, Stefan had picked her up from the back of her thighs and she placed her arms around his neck.

*START SMUT SCENE*

They were both getting lost in the kiss but Stefan was craving the taste of his mate. He nipped at her bottom lip and used her gasping to slip his tongue in. The kiss felt different it felt…hungry. Neither had been able to truly feel each other for four months, they were desperate for each other. But Stefan was still hesitant, was it safe for Hailey to do the…extraneous act? He broke the kiss and nearly done himself in when Hailey whimpered and started to mark his neck. He bit back a moan and panted out, “Sweetheart *groan* is it…okay for us to keep going?”, while asking Hailey had decided to teasingly trail her hand down but stopped just before her hand would land were Stefan was yearning for her touch.

She looked up coyly and started stripping in front of Stefan. Showing confidence that wasn’t there when they were first intimate and it made Stefan’s mouth water. She was flushed but had a teasing smile on. In front of Stefan, Hailey had black set on. Her wonderful breast were incased in satin cups and her maidenhead was teasingly hidden under a black cloth of lace. The black made her skin look as if it was made of porcelain. Her scars and toned body just as before made her look like a war goddess. How he yearned to mark that beautiful body to show everyone that she was his and he was hers. She did a come hither motion and that was enough to convince him that she wanted him and she wanted him now. To repay her he also started to strip.

Stefan’s body was so much more defined than she had realized. If she hadn’t thought he was a marble statue before she did now. His abs were tantalizing and all she could think of was marking his tan skin. To show everyone who dared listed after Stefan that they could look all they want but they would NEVER be allowed to touch let alone taste. Once Stefan was in his boxers her control had snapped, she surprised Stefan by pushing him to sit on the edge of the bed and nearly bugged his eyes out when she dropped to her knees. His goddess was kneeling before him…she will be the death of him.

She swiftly pulled his underwear off and put as much as his herculean in her mouth as she could. Whatever she couldn’t fit she stroked with her hand. She rolled her tongue, licked, and sucked at the tip. She looked up to see Stefan expressions to see if she was doing a fair job. His head was thrown back and he was using a hand to hide his noises, that wouldn’t do. She slurped as she raised her head up and down. Stefan couldn’t handle it and his groans, moans, and whimpers were filling Hailey’s ears. And just as he was about to come she pulled her mouth off. He was a panting mess and looked at her as if she was a gift from the heavens. He wanted to repay the favor, so he tugged her up to him and pushed her down onto the bed.

She looked surprised at the sudden switched positions. Without much thought Stefan dove in to enjoy the taste of Hailey’s most intimate part. She gasped, moaned, whimpered, and squirmed at the sensation of Stefan’s tongue. What made her nearly undone was when he started to flick and suck on the little bud on her flower. She put a hand in his hair and forced him up to give him a filthy kiss filled with possessiveness, lust, and love. She was straddling him with their chest pushed together and their panting nearly in sync. She grabbed his hard on and lined it to her opening. With meeting his eyes she slammed herself down. It hurt a bit but the pain was nothing compared to the pleasure of having Stefan inside her again.

As if something unlocked at seeing her pleasure herself by using his body he started fucking up into Hailey in an almost bruising force. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders to keep her balance as Stefan took control. Soon enough she was on her back again with her ankles being held by Stefan. At this angle he went so much deeper and unlocked new sensations. He was sucking marks onto her neck and chest. She tugged him down to return the favor. Soon enough it was becoming too much and then Stefan reached down. He started furiously rubbing at her clit and it pushed her to climax. The tightening of her walls and her ankles pushing him further into her finally made Stefan release into her. They stayed together there panting until Stefan slipped out causing Hailey to whimper at the sensitivity.

He fond a towel and started cleaning both of them up. He put some boxers on and grabbed his shirt for Hailey to put on. Once situated he laid on his back in bed and she made herself comfortable on his chest. They shared one last kiss before they fell asleep.

*SMUT SCENE END*

As the young couple laid to sleep they had no prior indication that tomorrow would bring chaos. As Klaus and Rebekah were sure that the Potters were now situated in home they could finally awaken their brothers. There wasn’t anything left other than to tell the pack that it would be safer for them to leave the mansion. Klaus walked up to Tyler, his first hybrid, as he directed others to put the coffins into the ballroom. “Tyler, everyone! I need your attention. In these coffins are the rest of my family. The thing is my brothers are about as temperamental as me. As soon as you can I need all of you to leave. I will not risk your lives and my brothers would hurt any of you just to anger me. So please until I know for sure that my brothers won’t kill any members of the pack I need you lot to stay away. Understood?”, the pack was quiet none of them were comfortable with leaving their alpha to endure the rage of his family especially after him telling them that he wouldn’t risk their lives. But it was an order from the alpha and they can’t disobey.

“Where should we go? I don’t think there’s a place that could house all of us. I would suggest my house but my mother is too noisy for her own good.”, Tyler contemplating out loud when the pack made their way outside. There was thirty of them now. A light went off above Tyler’s head and he got out his phone and dialed her number. The pack was looking at him curiously and then they heard her voice.

“Hello? Tyler?”, the English accent along with her voice being a melody made it clear that it was Hailey Potter-Salvatore. She sounded tired. Did she just wake up from a nap it was only four in the evening. Tyler explained the situation and asked if the had room for some of the pack. His plan was to take some to his home and say they were friends from school that wanted to stay overnight for a project. Send some to the Potter Mansion and use the money Klaus gave them to send the remaining few to a hotel. “Oh of course! We have plenty of room for everyone just make your way and I’ll meet you in a few. She hung up and Tyler was a bit shocked that Hailey was willing to house thirty hybrids. But not wanting to look the horse in the mouth they made their way.

Back in the Mikaelson Mansion Rebekah and Klaus were setting things up. While Rebekah got the modern clothing for her brothers along with some hair appliances, Klaus had dragged in a couple of coolers with blood bags. Who knew how thirsty Finn would be? Sage was finally there and making sure to avoid Damon. She was so happy to hear that Finn was alive and that they would be together again. Klaus had borrowed a magical book from Hermione and a toy wand from Ron for Kol. When everything looked in place they each made their way to a brother. Rebekah with Kol, Sage with Finn, and Klaus with Elijah. They looked to each other and at the same time pulled the dagger out. Klaus got the box out and placed the daggers in. They went to the opposite wall and slid down it , waiting for signs of awakening.

Three gasps filled the room, taking in air for the first time in centuries. Or months for Elijah. The three rose from their sitting places to look at the vampires in the coffins. Klaus smirked.

“Welcome back, brothers.”

Chapter 20

Immortal Dilemmas

“Guys, s-something’s wrong! We got to go! Something’s wrong with Hailey!” Stefan said with a pained and panicked face. Ron hadn’t felt fear like that since the war but it was definitely bringing back memories. The dread he felt when Voldemort screamed that Hailey was dead and the denial he felt until it came crashing down when he saw Hagrid with a tear stained face holding what was thought to be her corpse. Thank the deities that it was not her time yet! The same feelings were coming back, he looked around and saw the same worried looks on the others. He made a gesture and quickly grabbed Stefan’s arm and ran out of the grill into the back alley. He saw that his brothers had caught on to what the plan was. Stefan looked near catatonic but there wasn’t any time to spare, quickly wizards paired off with vampires and apparated back to the Mickaelson Mansion.

Stefan looked like he was getting worse, when they landed he had keeled over and was grabbing his chest in pain. Bill made a move to try and help him back up but Klaus was quick to stop him, Bill was about to ask him why he stopped him when a furious roar erupted from Stefan. The vampires were quick to jump in front and cover the magicals. Klaus had to suppress a shiver when Stefan had stopped screaming and looked dead straight at the mansion. His worse fear for his brother had happened, something bad happened to Hailey and now Stefan’s vampire had gone feral. Before he could bark at his brothers to help hold back Stefan, he had sped into the mansion. They all chased after him but the scene in front of him filled him with dread.

Stefan was hovering over a disturbingly still Hailey and Kol had a piece of broken furniture lodged in his chest. It doesn’t kill them but it still takes them out for a small period of time. He rushed over to pull it out, it shouldn’t take too long for him to wake up. Klaus and his brothers started to frantically look around, the boys…where are the boys?! That’s when a cry of anguish was let out by Stefan. They were all in shock and ran towards him. He let out a hiss when they came too close. He was holding Hailey close to his chest, one hand in her hair and the other around her back but she wasn’t holding him back, she was limp.

She wasn’t breathing. The magicals were suddenly back at Hogwarts seeing the scene all over again and the vampires were being filled with anguish and rage at the loss of their new family. Ron took in a shaky breath in and tried to not let loose the tears that were threatening to spill he had to remind himself the facts. Hailey is the Mistress of Death, even if she dies she won’t stay dead.

“Everyone calm dow-“ he tried to explain before things could escalate.

“How can we possibly be calm?!? Hailey is gone and the boys are missing!!” Klaus’s eyes were flashing from how angry he was and how his wolf was trying to break out and tear out the throat of who was responsible for it.

“SHES NOT GONE-listen there are some things we haven’t gotten to tell you guys yet-“ Ron was cutoff as Hailey sucked in a large gasp and started coughing. Stefan, who still had his feral face on and tears running down, scrambled to put her in a proper position. Kol was coming back as well and was being brought up by his brothers. Hailey was flailing around and trying to get up from the ground but Stefan wasn’t letting her.

“THE BOYS!! WHERE ARE MY BOYS?!? WHERE ARE MY BABIES?!?” She was looking around frantically still trying to get out of Stefan’s arms until Percy had grasped her attention by grabbing her shoulders and barely flinching when Stefan snarled at him. The others were still trying to grasp reality as Hailey still had her human scent.

“Hailey! You got to tell us what happened!” Ever the logical one Percy wanted to know the situation before acting. But what Hailey said threw whatever calm response he could possibly have.

“Katherine happened! She must of took the boys, we got to go!”, she tried to again leave her husband’s arm but was confused on to why he wasn’t letting her go. Kol let out a growl at hearing the woman’s name.

“You just came back from the dead! You shouldn’t be moving around too much! Not to mention, Hailey we don’t know where they went how can we possibly find-“ Elijah tried to reason with her until she pulled out her pendant and muttered a spell which unleashed two golden arrows pointing.

“Little treat MACUSA put in for me, now- LETS GO!” She screamed to everyone, they looked about ready to flash out and have the magicals hitch a ride but Stefan wasn’t moving. Stefan was just sitting with her on the floor letting out wounded growls when she tried to leave. His feral look had yet to leave him. Hailey finally asked her burning question.“What’s going on, why isn’t he talking and why isn’t he letting me go?”

“It’s his vampire, love. It went feral from feeling your death and now it’s likely he won’t be able to do muck other than hover over you until you can snap him out of it.” Klaus said with some trepidation. In theory a mate should be able to calm and coax a feral ripper, so far it seems possible. Hailey took Stefan’s face into her hands and forced eye contact, her face was filled with determination but also with panic.

“Stefan-Stefan, look at me! Katherine did this, she tried to take me away from you, but she didn’t but now she’s trying to take our boys! Stefan please we need to get our babies back! We have to!” Something flickered in his eyes. It started to settle down but his eyes were still blood red, the vampire still had major control. He nodded his head obediently. She reached up and wiped the tear tracks on his face away and nodded back. She looked to everyone. “Follow the arrows! They can shows us the way even with your speed involved! Let’s get the boys back!”

The arrows led them down a familiar path and then it made sense why. Katherine had gone to where she first met the Salvatore brothers, the Salvatore Estate now Boardinghouse. They barged in and found her sitting on the ground. “It never gets old seeing Stefan all sweaty, hot and bothered. Just like when we first met, right Stefan?” Katherine had an amused and cocky smirk on her face which looked misplaced because of how ragged she looked. It quickly dropped as Stefan answered her with an animalistic snarl. She had on the same purple Henley and jeans on when she was impersonating Elena at the park. But it was bloody and torn with her jeans stained of mud and grime. She was practically malnourished from how little she had gotten to drink and her hair was slicked and matted with grime. But what made everyone’s hearts jump was that she had the boys right beside her.

They were crying their lungs out and displaying their natures. Cedar was levitating and throwing everything and Caelan had his baby fangs in full display trying to bite at her. But with Katherine so close to them she wasn’t affected by the chaos as well as keep them a distance to avoid biting. Seeing her just sitting there and daring to taunt them had Hailey boiling and her magic was beginning to react to her emotions.

“Katherine Pierce! You worthless bint! GIVE ME BACK MY BABIES!” The smirk that had dropped from Katherine’s face had come back full force with Hailey’s shouting. What could a human or witch do to her, Katherine Pierce. She’s survived over five hundred years on the run, she could survive a little girls tantrum. Everything this girl had should belong to her! Getting to raise her children despite being young and having Stefan at her side to do it, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN KATHERINE. It was as if an outside force was speaking as her subconscious, making her be impulsive and more angry like she had to do it. She ignored it and started leering over Stefan again. Her eyes started to travel and she flinched when he lot out a small roar In retaliation. She looked around her redheads with the weird sticks and the Originals, she smirked.

“I don’t know about that…they just have the perfect amount of their daddy in them. Especially this one, he looks so much like Stefan. Would you mind if I just keep him? You can have the other, I just hope that this one is just as much fun as his daddy was.” Hailey had frozen at the implication of what Katherine was intending to do to HER BABY. As if something had snapped, her head drooped and she started to walk towards Katherine. She walked despite the hissing and shouting from everyone and as if Stefan knew something was amiss he just let out a small whimper.

The smirk was slowly dropping from Katherine’s face as the feeling of dread was quickly rising in her. The lights were flickering and the air was becoming cold. Then an unearthly screech was heard in the distance causing everyone but Hailey to flinch. Instead she raised her arm and pointed a single finger at Katherine. She raised her head and caused her family to let out large gasps and be riddled with befuddlement. Her eyes, instead of white it’s had become black and her irises her glowing reminding the Weasleys of the Killing Curse. The screeching was getting closer and closer until it just stopped. Then all of a sudden the door had slammed open and the screeching had filled the house. Ron was quick to bark orders.

“Everyone against the walls don’t get close to those things!” He said while dragging Kol with him.

“What are those things?!” Klaus had been dragged to the wall by one of the twins. He was eyeing the Spector like things that were floating around the room. Every instinct in his body was telling him to run from those things.

“Dementors!”, as he said it the soul suckers had stopped flying around the room and came to a stop by standing behind Hailey, like dogs awaiting their masters orders to eat.

“Her.”, Hailey said simply but it left everyone with chills as her voice had changed to something unearthly. The Dementors charged at Katherine. They lifted her up by her arms and floated her away from Cedar and Caelan. With them so close to her and touching her Katherine was reliving every horrible memory she had. It didn’t take long for her to start begging.

“Please no! I-I’ll do anything I’ll leave you alone just let me go! I didn’t mean it!” She tried getting out of their grips but she couldn’t as she started to freeze in fear when Hailey Potter started to stroll towards her. She stopped momentarily when she got close enough to the boys. She picked them up and they calmed down almost instantly. She looked to the redheaded twins and they quickly scrambled up to get the boys from her. Once the twins were at a safe distance she turned her attention back to Katherine. In the corner of her eye she could see Stefan pelting himself over to the boys and frantically looking them over and nuzzling them when he deemed that they were okay.

“You didn’t mean it! You have evaded your crimes for too long!” Hailey’s voice had never sounded so bone chilling before even when facing off Death Eaters, that doesn’t compare to how angry she sounded at this very moment. She scoffed when Katherine started to form crocodile tears. And then started to explain herself that she was just jealous and just wanted some piece of Stefan. Hailey looked to the dementor on Katherine’s right with a raised eyebrow and I quickly put its corpse like hand over her mouth to shut her pleading up. Katherine was trying to get sympathy from anyone in the room with her wide fear filled eyes but she was just met with looks of disdain.

“Katerina Petrova in the name of Death, I sentence you to your own personal hell! May your last moments be filled with remorse as no rest will accompany you!” She nodded to the Dementors and it removed its hand while the other leaned in. All her manipulation tactics and persuasion powers proved fruitless when being sentenced to the Dementor’s Kiss. The vampires looked on in horror as a white vapor left Katherine’s body and was being sucked up by the Dementor. They let her go and they expected to having to hold her down but she just sat there like a husk. Breathing but looking so empty. The Dementors bowed to Hailey and flew out of the house. Everyone let out a breath they didn’t know they were holding. Stefan ran up to Hailey with the boys still with him, she gave them a faint smile…before promptly fainting. Fred was quick to conjure a very big bean bag for her to fall on. He knew that right now Stefan was in a very delicate mindset and anything could set him off. Not matter how worried he was for Hailey he could not risk it more by possibly pushing her mate too far.

Stefan made a wounded noise and climbed on the bean bag with her. Her arrange his family into a comfortable position. He was slowly coming back, the boys were rightfully tired and found a good sleeping place on their mama. Stefan was being lulled to sleep as well. As soon as Percy saw that they were asleep he put a silencing charm on them. They needed to plan out how they were going to move them back home without waking them up or drawing too much attention. From what he gathered this house was still being used by Damon so they needed to figure it out quickly. Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Damon barged in with Elena both looked very irritated and with seeing them we’re about to begin interrogating when Charlie and Ron have had enough and hit them a Petrificus Totalus. They rubbed their foreheads when they both dropped like rocks into the floor. It was really turning into a long day.

Hey, have you thought about maybe making a master list for your story, Immortal Dilemmas?

Hi! To be honest I don’t even know how to make a master list. I can try though. I’ll try to have it done in a couple of days.

Okay so I know I’ve only ever posted about Harry Potter and the Avengers with Spider-Man. But I kinda have something in my mind I think should be addressed. Whenever I look up a Harry Potter and Vampire Diaries crossover fanfic it usually pairs Harry off with Damon, Klaus, Elijah, or even Tyler. But because of this I am now in need to see a fanfic with Harry and Stefan together, I can’t find one that not a one-shot or complete. So I am debating about writing it myself even though I am a sh*tty writer. I’m debating on making Harry a girl or not.

Chapter 7

Immortal Dilemmas

*Stefan Salvatore*

“Well, first thing we need to do is-“, Stefan wanted to listen to what Klaus was saying but his thoughts were running wild. He just had an epiphany with the hybrid, he trusted Klaus enough to tell him about Hailey, and Klaus had just sworn on his FAMILY name that he would help Stefan. Family is everything to the Originals, the fact that Klaus was swearing on his name made it bluntly obvious that he truly does see Stefan as family. The only thing Klaus ever wanted was to not be alone, to for once not be left out for something he couldn’t control. He had to tell him about Elena, Klaus may react violently but he deserves to know that the answer to his dreams was still alive with human blood coursing through her veins. Klaus swore to protect Hailey, the girl that Stefan loved to the ends of earth and would gladly go through hell for, despite only being able to spend a night with her, he knew that she was his and he was hers. This is the least that he could do for Klaus. Good or bad reaction it’s going to end in one of his brothers, biological or not, throwing a hissy fit.

“-and we’ll likely need to find your mate to make sure she’s guarded but I don’t think normal vampires are going to cut-“, at the mention of needing something stronger than an average vampire Stefan gathered it was better to say it now.

“About that…Klaus there is something I need to tell you…”, he tried finding the proper wording but how can he put it gently that Elena’s real father had decided to exchange his life for hers and as consequence she is still alive and human, capable to be of use to Klaus?

“SHE’S WHAT?!??”, Klaus had said suddenly. Did he just say that out loud?

“Yes! Stefan, you did!”, he gulped as his throat had suddenly ran dry but he refused to look away from Klaus’s eyes. What felt like a thousand years to Stefan ,in reality was only thirty seconds, Klaus’s thunderous and gobsmacked expression quickly melted into a devilish grin. Stefan knew that look and it did not bode well. Klaus’s siblings feared it as it was a sign that he was going to cause chaos and embarrassment for whoever wronged him.

“Klaus I’m sorry, I really am but at the time-“, Stefan was caught off by Klaus’s delightful yet bone chilling laugh. Oh deities above, Stefan was in for it!

“Oh Stefan my sweet baby brother, I’m not angry, I’m just…disappointed”, Klaus said in a faux parental stern tone and trailed off with a sigh. Klaus had officially entered his brooding (pouting) mood, in which at every conversation he is going to have he is likely to rant. And in those rants he will reveal an embarrassing event that Stefan had done or an embarrassing fact about Stefan. Stefan winced, there was only one way to get Klaus out of that mood and it was to do whatever Klaus needed to be done but doesn’t want to do himself. He had to do whatever it is, he needed to uphold his reputation as the Original Hybrid right hand ripper. People aren’t going to take him seriously about him and Klaus being as close as family if whatever dirt Klaus has on him gets out. He’s a forever seventeen year old, he’s done a lot of stupid stuff…especially in the 20’s with Klaus’s influence.

“Klaus…please. You name it and I’ll get it done, just please!”, Stefan begged with his puppy eyes, Klaus figured the task he was going to assign Stefan shouldn’t be too terrible but it will definitely teach him a lesson to not withhold important information from family.

“Alright Stefan, I’ll forgive and forget as long…as your the one to tell my sister about recent developments as soon as she comes home!”, while Rebekah was infatuated with a human named Matt Donavan currently, she also has had a tendency to not let go of the past and be very jealous. Stefan who had recently gained his memories knew this and groaned. He knew it was going to be hard but hopefully after telling Rebekah, Klaus will have pity and restrain her until she can calm down…somewhat. He nodded solemnly and looked like a kicked puppy.

“Now while you figure out what to say, I’ll contact one of my witches and get you a new ring. Rebekah is likely to stay out until tomorrow and by then you’ll definitely need that ring.”,Klaus said with a chuckle. Stefan let out his own sarcastic laugh and quickly sped to Klaus’s liquor cabinet to pour himself something strong.

“Just think of Hailey.”, he muttered to himself. Hailey was the only thing he could think of that could possibly make him happy in this situation. No doubt as soon as he said it his thoughts were flooded with her emerald green eyes and her midnight black hair. Memories of their time together ,whether talking or being intimate, flashed across his mind. An instant goofy smile came to him. Off to the side Klaus had heard Stefan and witnessed his mood changed. He sighed with an exasperated grin, the strong bond between his brother and that girl was stronger than anything he has sensed. If something happens to her and Stefan senses it, then there would be a strong possibility of seeing a feral ripper. Absolutely nothing short of death would be able to stop the carnage until the origin of what caused Hailey pain was destroyed. Hopefully, he can help in keeping her safe enough that Stefan doesn’t loose his mind and that Stefan and her could remain happy together.

New fan fiction idea Stefan Salvatore was in a ripper mode when he had met a sixteen year old Hailey Potter who had just finished the war and became the master of death. (Still haven’t decided if I want extra drama with Elena being with Damon but still pining after Stefan)They get along to the point to where she and Stefan slept together. He saw her as a girl who was feisty and had power behind her every word but still had a soft side. She saw him as a good guy who had suffered way more than he should have and deserved to be a little crazy sometimes but could also show compassion in his darkest moments. As she thought that he was an alive boy she didn’t have a chance to think that he could get her pregnant as she was the MOD.

As a vampire he didn’t have to worry about getting a girl pregnant even if she wasn’t normal, not that he knew that she was a witch and mistress of death.“Only a creature of death will be able to help conceive the master of death’s heir.” She soon finds out she’s pregnant and is overjoyed but also scared. She had thought she lost all chance to start a family of her own when she had ended the war but there she was pregnant. She was scared because no one in the wizarding world was going to take the news that their sixteen year old savior was pregnant with a creature’s child and not being married. So she flees the wizarding world

The downside of being the master of death was that while her baby did age she did not so for when the baby was born she could play them off as her own child until it was 2 years old then she would have to say it is her younger sibling that she must care for because their parents passed away leaving her it’s guardian. She soon finds out while in her pregnancy that her baby wouldn’t be a regular witch or wizard. The tale had said that only a creature of death could help bring her an heir and while pregnant she had cravings for raw meat and blood. She gave birth to her baby boy only in seven months of her pregnancy. She had Poppy, McGonagall, and Hermione as her midwives. Poppy had confirmed that once her baby boy reached seventeen he was going to go through his creature inheritance and become a vampire. This made Hailey happy but also depressed. She would not need to see her baby boy grown old and eventually pass away but he would be like her an cursed with eternity. She named her precious baby boy Caelan James Salvatore Potter. Being a second middle name means it won’t show up in most records.

As they travel around her son is now sixteen and they had decided on where to settle down for a few years by hanging up a map and throwing a dart that had their magic fused in it. This way is to show that they are either needed to save the town or simply because their magic saw it as a good place to make a home. The town itself is a little town called Mystic Falls. Unknown to the mother and son duo it is the home of Stefan Salvatore, Caelan’s father and former flame of Hailey Potter.
