this was a path that led to nowhere

    It had surprised Alice to hear that Klaus had gotten the dress for her when she was meant to be dead, but it made her heart swell, because it meant he’d held out hope that somehow, some way, they’d meet again. It had been one of her impossible hopes before, but she’d given up that hope after Tegan had gotten with Klaus, so sure that he had moved on from her. She, of course, kept this to herself. There wasn’t a point in dwelling on any of that now, she’d decided - and at least Grace was getting the chance to get to know her father and his family now, which was a wonderful thing and Alice genuinely hoped that she liked them all. She knew what family meant to the Mikaelsons and she knew how hard they would fight to keep Grace safe and alive - and, while Alice would fight just as hard, Alice was also capable of dying a lot easier than the Mikaelsons were. At least, this way, Grace would have people who were nearly invincible protecting her and Grace deserved that protection more than anything, because she was such an amazing girl.

    Alice’s thoughts had come to an abrupt stop when she’d come out of the bathroom and she grinned broadly with seeing Klaus’s reaction, happy to know that she still had such an effect on him. “You still clean up as wonderfully as ever,” she teased lightly, slipping her hand around his arm as she peered up at him, taking him in. She couldn’t imagine anything better than being right here with him, in moments like this. Still, she followed him quietly, leaning her head against his arm, just wanting to be as close to him as she could. When her eyes caught sight of the lights up ahead, she couldn’t help but to grow curious about where they were going or what they were doing and, when they got closer to the lights, she breathed out in shock, staring around as she took it all in. “Oh, my God,” she murmured, almost breathless as she peered at the sight, taking it in, though she paused when she registered that Klaus had spoken and she peered up at him, enjoying the way the flickering lights cast shadows on his face. “It’s amazing, Klaus,” she told him honestly, looking again to the setting with shock, “How did you manage all of this?”
    Jeremy listened to Grace’s words, nodding slightly with the mention of her mother being a doctor. He wasn’t sure what to expect with that, but hoped that, overall, her mother would like him. The last thing he wanted was for Tegan to not like him, too; he knew Klaus wasn’t his biggest fan, just like he wasn’t Klaus’s biggest fan, but he could deal with Klaus not liking him all that much. If both of Grace’s parents didn’t like him, though, he was sure that would just make it far too difficult for them to actually be together, if they got that chance - because, really, more than anything, Jeremy wanted to be with Grace. He wanted to show her what the world had to offer and let her have some freedom, since it seemed like she didn’t get that often with having to move around so much. But, since it didn’t seem like she’d have to be moving around constantly anymore, he truly and genuinely just wanted to show her how wonderful the world could be when you were actually allowed to enjoy it. “Let’s hope she doesn’t carry a scalpel on her to kill me,” he joked lightly, offering a small grin to Grace.

    Before he could even think to say anything else, though, he could feel Grace’s lips on his and, for a moment, he was shocked and stunned into freezing, but he recovered quickly, grinning as he returned her kiss, letting himself enjoy this moment between them for as long as he could, allowing himself to forget the fact that anybody could catch them in this moment. But, really, what could they do except kill him? And, if they did that, he doubted Grace would be happy and he was sure his own sister and everybody else would lash out at them and that would put Grace in danger - as much as Jeremy would hate that - so he was sure that the Mikaelsons would at least let them have this for a while. “I think you’re wrong,” he told her gently when she pulled away, his eyes scanning over her features, and he lifted his hand to cup her face gently, running his thumb over her cheek gently, “I think that title goes to you, Grace. With everything you’ve been through and with all the news that just got dropped on you, you’re handling it so well and you’re giving all these new people in your life a chance… There is nobody who could be more amazing than you.” And, to prove his point, he smiled and leaned to kiss her again, just wanting to relish in the moment

    Klaus’ eyes were completely trained on the beauty that was standing beside him, the flickering lights that hung from the tree were casting such a beautiful glow on Alice’s features. He couldn’t look away from her, even if he wanted to, which he definitely didn’t want to. “I will admit only to you, love. That this time I did have some help,” He grinned as he did have his hybrids help set this up for them, as soon as his eyes landed on Alice and she agreed to give him another chance, he had ordered his hybrids to get all of it planned for him. “I still can’t believe that you’re here with me, for so long I tried to make myself believe that you had a happy life without me, that you had died from old age. But there had always been apart of me, that somehow knew you were waiting for me to find you.” He kept his voice soft as he gave Alice the time to take in what was before her, the night was a mild one with a gentle breeze in the air, perfect weather in Klaus’ opinion. It was the reason why Klaus brought and kept the dress for all these years, because he had hoped for so long that Alice was still waiting for him, even if that meant she would have been turned into a vampire. He never wanted that for her, he believed that she was someone who deserved so much more than being stick living as a vampire.

    Letting her hand drop from his arm, he moved over to where the blanket had been placed under the tree. Sitting down, he simply watched Alice. Giving her all the time she needed to take it all in, before she would join him. It was impossible for either of them to change in appearance, but Alice had become even more beautiful than how she was as a human. One of his many fears, was that if she was to ever become a vampire, her beauty would get tainted as being a vampire does change people for the worst. They become monsters and prey on the innocent, he knew he was a monster and always would be. It was far too late for him to change. Though, it appeared like Alice had been spared, Klaus knew there would have been times in her life where she would have done things that she wouldn’t be proud of. Maybe he was biased, as nothing she did could ever make him see her differently to what he currently did. Alice was still the definition of perfection to him, she always would be.
    Grace knew in her gut that her mom would like Jeremy, not only had he taken care of her through all of this, but he was also the first boy that she had brought home to meet her mom. He was the first person in general, that Grace had allowed herself to get close to and to form a friendship. Tegan was protective over Grace, but she wasn’t the one that Grace had to worry about, Klaus was the unpredictable one. Smiling against Jeremy’s lips, kissing him was greater than what she had dreamed it would be. She was nervous, she was gaining him access to her heart and letting him become part of her life. If anyone wanted to cause pain to her family, Jeremy was now an easy target and Grace was terrified that she would be the only reason if he was hurt or killed. Her eyes found his as he spoke, she was about to prove him wrong until his lips found hers for another kiss. She found herself relaxing more as she returned his kiss, she would always have a fear of losing him, but she couldn’t let that fear hold her back from having what she wanted. And all she truly wanted was him, she wanted his love and affection more than anything else.

    Grace broke their kiss this time when she felt something touch her leg, looking down a pen from her backpack which had floated from the side pocket of her bag dropped to now lay at her feet. A few of Jeremy’s things also fell back down one she regained her magic, “That’s embarrassing.” She murmured as she must had been so relaxed when kissing Jeremy, she let her control on her magic slip. Something that she would need to work on, as she didn’t want objects around them to suddenly start floating in mid-air every time they kissed. “I think we should probably head inside, if we take much longer than my mom will come out here.” Smiling Grace quickly placed the pen back into her bag, hoping Jeremy wouldn’t say anything about her lapse in control over her magic.

    Alice grinned as she peered around at the lights, listening to Klaus as he spoke. “Oh? They did a really great job, then,” she admitted but looked to him, blinking with surprise, though her expression softened. “Yeah… It feels surreal, being able to be with you again. I was always worried I’d never get that chance. Or, if I did, things wouldn’t be the same.” But, things were still just as amazing between them, their love for each other was still very much present, and she was so grateful that she was lucky enough to have that. Having him back in her life meant more to her than she could really express in words, but she really wanted him to know. Making her way over, she crouched down a bit, grinning as she leaned to kiss him for a moment, just to do it. “I’m really glad we found our way back to each other, Klaus,” she told him softly, scanning his eyes, his features, taking it all in, “Even if it wasn’t in the most conventional way.” She grinned teasingly, but lifted her hand to cup his face gently, running her thumb over his cheek. “I never thought I’d be lucky enough to have you back in my life and, yet, here we are, and I couldn’t be happier.”
    Jeremy grinned against her lips, enjoying every moment of it while it lasted, wanting to really show Grace how much he liked her and how much she meant to him, but the only way he could think to do that was to keep kissing her. All he wanted was to have her in his life, to have her as his, and he didn’t want anybody to ruin that. He wouldn’t let anybody ruin that, because he cared so much for Grace and he wanted her happy and she made him happy, and they both deserved that. When she pulled away, he blinked with surprise, but looked at the few items that were floating around and grinned slightly. “Wow,” he said with shock, watching the items before they’d fallen and he grabbed them, gathering them up to put them away before he looked back to her. “You’re amazing, you know that?” His grin broadened and he leaned forward to kiss her again for a moment before he nodded and pulled away, climbing out of the car. “Right, you’re absolutely right.” Chuckling at how easily he had gotten lost in just kissing her, he closed his door and went to her side, opening the door and offering his hand out to help her out of the car.

    Klaus watched Alice intently, smiling he returned her kiss eagerly as he still had yet to grow tired of her lips pressing to his. “When have we ever been conventional, love?” He chuckled softly as he brought her closer to him, he had wanted to bring up Tegan, but the timing wasn’t right. He hoped Alice wouldn’t be angry or hate him for sleeping with Tegan, he definitely didn’t love the witch, if he was honest with himself, she had been convenient and willing even if she knew who and what he was. Part of him wished it never happened, but then he would never wish his daughter away. He wanted Alice to know that he never actually moved on from her, he never loved another or wanted to spend his life with anyone but her. He needed to make her believe that. Looking at her, he shook his head slightly. “I’m the lucky one here, my darling. I didn’t deserve you back when you were human, and I definitely still don’t deserve you now. But I’m selfish and will keep you with me, for as long as you love me. I will kill anyone and everything that tries to take you away from me again,” It was a promise, he wouldn’t let Alice out of his sight. She made him a better person, he was less angry when she was there with him. He trusted her completely, yet he didn’t even trust his family that much.
    Grace would have loved to stay inside Jeremy’s car and continue kissing him, have him all to herself for as long as she wanted. They couldn’t, not when her mom was waiting in the house for her. Taking his hand, she climbed out of his car and grabbed her backpack. She continued to hold his hand as she took him up to the front door, stepping inside she shut the door behind him before she dropped her backpack onto the floor. “Mom?” She called out even though she knew her mom wouldn’t be that far away, “Oh Grace. Thank god your finally home,” Tegan gushed as she hurriedly pulled her daughter in for a tight hug, she would explain everything to Grace and answer any questions that her daughter had about everything she now knew. “I’m so sorry, Gracie… oh who’s this?” Tegan kissed her daughter’s head before she noticed a boy standing there, of course she had spied on the pair from the window, so she already knew this boy meant a lot to Grace. “Mom, this is Jeremy. Jeremy, this is my mom, Tegan.” She introduced them as she returned her mom’s hug, “It’s nice to meet you, Jeremy. Come on in, can I get you anything?” Tegan asked as she took Grace into the living room and sat her down on the couch, they had a lot to talk about but right now, she wanted to get to know Jeremy more.

    Alice laughed quietly with the mention of it and she grinned broadly up at him as she took him in. “You have a point there,” she admitted quietly, chewing on her lip as she examined him. “We never really were conventional.” And, she liked that about them, really; she had a freedom with Klaus that she didn’t really ever have before meeting him and falling in love with him. Grinning up at him, she slid her arms around his neck, enjoying the close contact between them, and she pressed her forehead to his happily, though her expression softened. “Don’t say that you don’t deserve me or that you didn’t deserve me,” she told him quietly as she examined him. “Because, yes, you’ve done some awful things, but that doesn’t mean you don’t deserve me. For all you know, those awful things are exactly why you deserve me - because I’m supposed to be here to help you through all of that.” She offered a small smile and ran her fingers through his hair gently. “I’ll always love you, Klaus. Nothing will ever change that.”
    Jeremy smiled slightly as he examined her, giving her hand a gentle squeeze as they walked, loving the way it felt to have her hand in his. Squeezing her hand gently, he ran his thumb over the back of her hand as they walked before looking up as they’d entered he house, and he peered around before blinking when they heard a woman’s voice and his attention went to the woman when she’d pulled Grace to herself. Smiling to himself, he watched the two interact, glad to see how much Tegan seemed to love her daughter. “It’s nice to meet you, too,” he told her with a nod, trying not to cause too much of a disturbance for the two. “No, I’m fine, really. We just had pizza and drinks before coming here, so you don’t have to trouble yourself.” His smile softened as he didn’t want to be in the way of anything. “I hope I’m not intruding or anything?” he questioned, watching her before he peered over at Grace for a moment, then back to her mom. “I just wanted to be here for Grace, but I also wanted to meet her mom.”

    Klaus’ hands moved to her waist, having her be so close to him again was all he had ever wanted. She was all he needed, he would make sure nothing ruined the second chance he had been given. “You always have made me a better person, because when I’m with you, I want to be better and do better for you. It’s when you aren’t there, that’s when I can’t think straight, and I start to not care about anyone.” He knew he had many flaws, he still had flaws when Alice was by his side, but at those times he had control over his emotions. Which is why he lashed out so often, his emotions would spiral out of his control. “And I will love you, my darling Alice, forever.” His voice became a whisper, before he pressed his lips to hers again for a tender kiss. His hands drawing her body even closer to his, she always had this way at calming him, even when he was enraged. Her scent and voice could cut through whatever emotion was heightened, her touch could and often did stop him in his tracks, her presence alone had spared many people their lives. No one else had that effect on him, she truly did help him, and he couldn’t thank her enough for that.
    Grace glanced over her shoulder and gave Jeremy an apologetic smile, he was the first boy that Grace has ever brought home to meet her mom. Tegan wasn’t about to let this situation fade before she had the chance to enjoy it for once, their talk would need to happen after Jeremy left the house. “Please, come sit down. Make yourself comfortable,” Tegan smiled as she looked over at him, she was happy that her daughter finally made a friend at school, even if it did seem like Jeremy was more than a friend. He was still the first person Grace had put her trust in, she wanted to know more about him. Tegan wanted to sit next to her daughter on the couch yet decided to sit in the armchair to give Jeremy the option of sitting beside Grace. “So, Jeremy… have you always lived in Mystic Falls?” Tegan asked as she watched the young boy, Grace groaned softly as she looked at her mom. “Mom, stop. Yes, Jeremy has always lived here and yes, he knows about everything. Including Klaus, you don’t have to worry.” Grace jumped in to stop Jeremy from feeling awkward at all the questions she knew her mom was going to ask him, she knew Tegan was wanting to protect her, but she didn’t need protection from Jeremy. Especially, when he knew what she was and who her family was. He probably knew more about the supernatural then she did.

    Alice’s expression softened as she listened to Klaus, and she offered a small smile as she examined him, taking him in, certain that he was being honest - she couldn’t recall a time that she’d ever caught Klaus lying to her, after all. “Well, this time, I’m not going anywhere,” she promised quietly as she examined him, determined to not let anything get in the way of how she felt for Klaus. After Mikael had chased Klaus away and killed her, all she wanted was to make sure that nobody had that power over them again. “I have faith in you, Klaus, I always have.” Her voice had softened, and she couldn’t help but to relax with being so close to him, feeling the peace of the moment surround them, and she wanted to hang onto that peace, she wanted to hang onto this moment. When she felt Klaus’s lips against her own, though, she grinned slightly, returning the kiss, though she murmured, “I’ll love you forever as well, Klaus,” over his lips before she leaned into the kiss, letting herself just relish in everything she felt for him.
    Jeremy smiled to himself when he saw the apologetic smile Grace offered him and he shook his head gently to assure her that it was okay, because he didn’t mind one bit. He wanted to be a part of Grace’s life, he wanted her family to like him and to approve of him, and he knew all of this was par for the course, and he was determined to make sure that everything went smoothly. “Thank you,” he told Tegan with a small nod as he made his way to the couch, eventually sitting down, settling against the couch as he tried to relax, - after all, meeting Grace’s mom was enough to send his nerves wild, because he wanted her to like him and to approve of him, - though Grace’s presence next to him made relaxing much easier. Hearing Tegan’s question, he was about to answer, but he chuckled when Grace answered for him. Still, he nodded. “Yeah, uh… I’m part of one of the Founding families - the Gilberts. My sister dates a vampire, and I’ve gotten pretty involved with all of that, so I’m pretty well versed with the supernatural at this point.”

    Klaus grinned against Alice’s soft lips as they shared a kiss, his fingers running through her dark locks. He never wanted this moment to end, this was the happiest that he has been in a very long time. Again, he knew he didn’t deserve any happiness what so over. Yet he had been given a second chance at life, he had his daughter and the woman he loved back in his life. That is all he ever wanted. It was the reason why he spent so much of his time tracking Tegan down each time she moved, because he never got the chance to have Grace in his life. Especially since he thought Alice had died long ago, if he had known she was a vampire then he would have searched for her just as much. He wasn’t going to waste anymore time, because he never knew what was waiting for him. He may not be able to die or be killed, but Alice and Grace could easily be taken from him again and that terrified him. “I still don’t know why you have faith in me, but I love you for it. You always do see the best in people,” He grinned making sure to keep Alice close to him, “Is there anything that you would like to do tonight, my love?” He asked looking at her as he wanted tonight to be perfect for her.
    Tegan looked over at her daughter, “Grace. I’m just trying to get to know Jeremy more,” She scolded her daughter as she knew better, it was a simple question after all. She wanted to know Jeremy and make sure that he was good enough for her daughter, to make sure that he would be able to handle everything that could and would happen in Grace’s life. Tegan knew the second she found out she was pregnant, that her child’s life would be anything but normal. “Thank you, Jeremy. It must have come to a shock to you when you found out about the supernatural and what actually does exist,” Tegan smiled at the young boy sitting next to her daughter, she was lucky as she had grown up knowing she was a witch and she had done the same for Grace. She just hadn’t told her daughter who her father was or what she could become, as Tegan would do everything in her power to keep Grace a witch, she knew what needed to happen to her daughter for her to unleash the curses that came from her father’s side.

    Alice grinned slightly with the feelings Klaus was giving her and, when he spoke, she watched him, taking in everything he said, because she’d been away from him for so long that she didn’t want to miss anything, not a single word, not a single touch, and she wanted to commit it all to memory. “It’s a blessing and a curse,” she teased lightly, grinning as she watched him, but she lifted a hand to cup his face, running her thumb over his cheek gently. “I love you, too, Klaus. More than anything. And the fact that you’re back in my life - it’s like a dream come true after everything, after all the years that passed since I last saw you.” And, she was grateful for that, for the chance to experience Klaus’s love again, to be in his presence, to just… Love him. She smiled, though, and shook her head. “I’m happy to just be spending time with you. I don’t care what we do, so long as you’re right there with me.”
    Jeremy listened to Tegan, his gaze going over to Grace as he hoped that he wasn’t causing any problems for her. The last thing he wanted to do was to put her in a position where she was uncomfortable, upset, or annoyed. Still, he looked to Tegan, wanting to do his best to make sure that he didn’t seem rude to her and hopeful that he could at least get her to somewhat approve of him, especially when he had such a high interest in Grace and when he was increasingly growing more and more attracted to her, in every way. “It was… Its own shock, yeah,” he confirmed with a small nod, “But being aware of the world has broadened my horizons and made it so that I have a better understanding of many things. Plus, my sister’s stuck in this world and me being in it now, too, makes it so that I can help her, protect her - and, now, I can do the same for Grace as well.” He smiled slightly. “Though I’m sure she can protect herself. She has a pretty strong willpower and she seems to have a strong mother - and she’s strong, too, to go through all of this and be able to just… Face it head on.” And, he admired that about Grace, he really did. He admired everything about her.

    Klaus gazed into the warm eyes that he had fallen in love with decades ago, the eyes that he would never grow tired of looking into and the eyes that he lost himself in. “I will always be right here with you, right here beside you. Nothing will take me away from you,” He smiled at Alice before he closed the distance between them and pressed his lips to hers, he kissed her soft lips deeply as he couldn’t stop himself. He couldn’t keep his hands off her and he honestly, didn’t want to keep his hands off her. He rested his hand on her knee which he gave a gentle squeeze, “You get more beautiful every day, my love.” He whispered as he broke their kiss, before he pressed sweet kisses along her jaw and down to her neck. How Alice still wanted to be with him and still wanted to love him, he wouldn’t ever understand. Not after what he has done in his lifetime, he had been up front with Alice when he first met her because she deserved to know what kind of person he was. Then she could make her own decision and for some reason, she chose him. When Alice had been human, he hardly kissed her neck as he was terrified that he would lose control and bite her. Hurting her or killing her had constantly been in his mind, but now he could kiss her as much as he wanted and wherever he wanted without needing to worry.
    Tegan smiled as she looked between the two teenagers, it was obvious to her that Jeremy cared about her daughter and Tegan had a gut feeling that Jeremy would do whatever it took for him to protect Grace. That is all Tegan wanted for her daughter, to find a good man who would love her and expect her for who she is. She was a Mikaelson and the first-born child of Klaus, and because of that there would be so much Grace would need to go through. “Well I will agree with you there, Jeremy. My family is filled with strong women, and Grace will need to be strong.” Glancing over to her daughter, Tegan had always felt torn when it came to Grace. Tegan knew what the risks were of bringing Klaus’ child into this world, he had many enemies, but it was more than that. Grace was the first Tribrid and there would be many people in the world who would want her dead, so she needed people who cared about her and were willing to help her. “If you need anything, Jeremy, just ask. You have more people that are here for you now,” Tegan looked towards him as he now had a family of witches that would have his back and protect him.

    Alice couldn’t help the way she grinned when she heard Klaus’s words, her heart swelling as she listened to him. Klaus had always been a charmer, and she’d always loved him for it, but now she knew that they could actually have an always together, fondness and happiness building within her with the thought. “And I will always be with you, beside you,” she murmured quietly, her grin softening when she felt his lips against hers, and she couldn’t help but return the kiss, her hands reaching to cup his face as she enjoyed the moment, relaxing with him there, overwhelmed with how much she loved him, how much he meant to her. When he started kissing her neck, though, she shuddered slightly, angling her neck a bit to provide better access. “Still as charming as ever,” she teased lightly, though she certainly wasn’t complaining. The fact that Klaus could still love her after everything, after they’d been separated for so long, and after she’d purposely tried to flee - it left her stunned, but it also left her feeling like the luckiest woman alive.
    Jeremy offered a smile as he listened to Tegan, and he nodded slightly. “And Grace is strong, I have every belief in that, all the faith I could possibly have - all of it sits in Grace and her strength,” he said firmly, watching the woman, “But, even so, I’ll do everything I can to make sure she’s safe and protected, too. She’s an amazing person, she deserves to have a long, happy life.” With the thought, his gaze went to Grace, and he silently swore that he would ensure that much, that he would protect her with his life if he had to, that he would do everything he could to make sure she was happy, to be the one who made her happy. Chewing on his lip with the thought, he smiled as he watched her, admiring her, not wanting to fight his admiration for her, not wanting to ignore it, just wanting to relish in it and enjoy it, because Grace deserved every ounce of love Jeremy could feel for her and more - she was perfection, kind and sweet and gentle, and he couldn’t imagine anybody better than her. Hearing Tegan speak again, though, he blinked with surprise, looking over, though his heart swelled and he smiled slightly. “Thank you, ma’am, I’ll remember that. It means a lot.”

    Klaus chuckled softly as he listened to Alice’s words, as that part of him hasn’t changed and wouldn’t change as long as the dark haired vampire was in his life. His lips moved up to press a kiss to the soft skin of her cheek, “I’m only ever charming for you, darling.” He grinned as he looked at her and admired her, she was just as beautiful and strong as she had been the first day that he saw her. Reaching up his fingers tucked some of her dark locks behind her ear, “We’ll be unstoppable now.” His voice lowered as his eyes connected with hers, “I will protect you with my life,” He promised her much like he had done when he had fallen in love with her, he vowed to never let anyone harm her which was a promise that he had broken. Now he had a second chance with Alice, to have a life with her and he would endeavour to keep this promise. A life with her wasn’t a life Klaus wanted to live through again, if he lost Alice then he knew he would revert back into the person he had been before he met her. He would turn back into a monster, it wouldn’t make Alice proud of him but he couldn’t go through this life without her by his side again.
    “Alright, thanks Mom.” Grace looked over to her mother as she wasn’t sure what to say to Jeremy after what he had said about her, her heart only grew with more love and affection for him. “Okay, I get the hint.” Tegan laughed gently as she stood up and left the room, knowing that the teenagers wanted some privacy and she trusted Jeremy to be alone with her daughter. Grace smiled as she watched her Mom walk off before her light eyes moved onto Jeremy, “You mean what you said?” She asked him as she hoped he did and didn’t just say those things to please her Mom, she didn’t think that Jeremy would lie to make someone like him and approve of him. She wasn’t used to having someone else believe in her so greatly, Grace knew she held power with her magic and that power would continue to grow if she did evolve into the genes her parents had passed onto her. “I’m not used to having someone think those things of me, only my family.” Jeremy wouldn’t understand what it meant to her to have him believe in her, his belief made her want to be better so she could make him proud of her.

    Alice smiled when she felt the kiss Klaus had placed to her cheek and she offered an amused look as she watched him. "I doubt that. You've always been a charmer," she teased lightly, though she was happy with his words regardless, "Must be that Mikaelson blood. I'm half certain there's a charmer in Grace, too." She grinned playfully, though she was enjoying this - all of this, really. Just being with Klaus again made her happier than she'd been in so long, in longer than she could remember, and she loved him so much more for being a source of happiness for her, for being in her life again after all these years, for forgiving her for keeping secrets from him.

    As he continued to speak, though, her expression softened, and she shifted, reaching to cup his face, pressing her forehead to his as her eyes closed over for a few moments. "I don't doubt that for a moment, Klaus," she murmured, "And I'm grateful for it, truly." And, she was, more than she could say. "But I'm also going to protect you, so don't forget that, okay?" Opening her eyes, she offered a smile to him. "We're in this together."
    Jeremy couldn't help but be a little amused with the entire situation, though he was relieved that Tegan didn't seem to have any problems with him. While he and Klaus were still on rocky grounds - and it would probably get rockier because Jeremy had no intention of hiding how he felt about Grace, - he was glad Tegan seemed to somewhat approve of him, and he hoped that would make things easier for them, but especially for Grace. And, even if it didn't, he had no intentions of giving up on what was going on between them, of giving up on Grace. No, he knew he would go through Hell and back just to make sure that Grace remained a part of his life, that he got to have her in his life, and he was hopeful that it would be in a romantic sense, because he knew he was falling more and more for Grace with each passing day, with each passing moment, even.

    As he registered Grace's words, though, he blinked, looking over, and he offered a small, fond smile as he watched her. "Of course I meant it," he promised as he took her in, enjoying the sight of her, admiring her. "I meant every word." He had no reason to hide that, after all. He'd already said it all, and he thought Grace deserved to know, that she deserved to hear the truth and he knew that, to do that, he had to be brave and ensure he always told the truth around her. Reaching, he took her hand, giving it a squeeze. "I'll make sure you hear it more often - as often as you need to hear it, or as often as you want to hear it."

    “Excuse me?” Klaus looked to Alice as all amusement that was showing on his face had vanished once he heard her comment, “No. Grace will not be a charmer, she will never charm anyone.” Of course, Klaus knew his little girl was growing up, he knew that and could see that Grace was turning into a beautiful young woman. And he despised that. He could tell the Gilbert boy was interested in her and it made him want to rip the boy’s heart from his chest. “What I can see is that you’ve been rubbing off on her, she definitely has your spirit and stubbornness.” He grinned as he knew Alice had taught his daughter more then he possibly could, and he would be forever grateful for that. It was something he’d never be able to thank Alice enough for.

    “I’ll never forget that, my love.” He promised as deep down he knew Alice would protect him, that she would give up her life for him which Klaus wasn’t pleased with. Yet, it was something he couldn’t change about her. He also knew when it came down to it, Alice would fight by his side against his enemies and she would be amazing at it. She would kick so much ass, she wouldn’t even need his help. “We’ll never be apart again,” He promised her as this was an easy promise to keep, because Klaus wouldn’t allow anything or anyone to come between them.
    Grace looked down at their hands feeling the reassuring squeeze from Jeremy, she entwined their fingers together before she looked back at him. She leaned in closer and pressed a kiss to his cheek, “You have no idea how much that means to me,” Her voice was a whisper as she looked into his eyes, she then pressed her lips to his for a tender kiss. In that moment she didn’t care if her mom saw them, she wanted to show Jeremy how much his words meant to her and how much she truly appreciated him and having him there beside her. Her mom appeared to have approved of Jeremy, she knew Klaus wouldn’t but she hoped one day that he would give Jeremy a chance.

    Because Jeremy wasn’t going to be leaving her life, he had already proved to her that he cared about her in the exact same way that she cared for him. She didn’t know what she would do if she lost Jeremy, she wasn’t sure that she’d be able to cope without him there by her side. There was nothing her father could do, do scare Jeremy away or drive them apart because Grace wouldn’t stand for that. She was falling in love with him, falling in love for the very first time and it was amazing.

    Alice arched an amused brow as she thought about Klaus’s words, and she watched him for a long moment. “Saying it doesn’t make it true, Klaus,” she told him quietly, because she knew Grace well enough to know that she was certainly a charmer. She understood Klaus’s refusal to believe it, though; she was his daughter, of course he would deny it, being as protective as he was of Grace. Still, she grinned slightly when Klaus spoke of her rubbing off on Grace and she lifted her shoulders in a shrug. “Maybe. She’s a pretty amazing girl, regardless of my influence.” Her grin broadened and she let herself relax.

    Hearing Klaus’s promise, though, she felt her heart swell, glad that he wouldn’t forget, even happier when he promised they’d never part again. “Good,” she murmured, watching him for a long moment, her grin softening to a fond smile. “I really hope you’re right about that.” Because, even with all the promises, she knew there would always be a chance that life would get in the way, that something would happen that could tear them apart again.
    Jeremy could feel his cheeks warm when Grace kissed his cheek, a grin spreading across his features easily, and he watched her for a few long moments, admiring her, finding himself drawn to her in a way he couldn’t imagine was possible. And, yet, with Grace, it certainly was, and he was so happy about it, honestly. “Well… That makes it even more worth it,” he murmured, though he grinned when he felt her lips against his. Lifting his hand, he cupped her cheek gently, his thumb brushing over her skin gently as he returned the kiss, deepening the kiss for a few long moments, amazed by her in ways he couldn’t even begin to explain or express.

    And, honestly, he felt like the luckiest person alive, to know that she was his, that he got to have somebody so amazing, so perfect, in his life. He almost couldn't believe it. But here she was, so close to him, kissing him, unfazed by all the craziness in their lives. With the thought in mind, he grinned broadly against her lips, reaching his hand to run his fingers through her hair gently, wanting to give her as much attention and affection as he could before her mother returned. Grace deserved that and so much more. “You’re so amazing, Grace,” he murmured over her lips, grinning, “I hope you know that.”

    Klaus paced back and forth in the living room of Tegan’s home, if she knew he was there wasn’t his concern at that moment. His fingers nervously ran through his hair for about the tenth time, his mind was racing and for once, he was unable to stop and think of a plan. “How could this happen?” He asked as he glanced over to where Alice was standing, he had heard a rumour that she was found. For a few days he thought it was just that, a rumour which he didn’t think much of because it wasn’t the first time those rumours circulated. But this time it wasn’t a rumour, and she would want revenge on him for what he had done. “She can’t be brought back, Alice.” He was worried and it was showing on his face and in his voice, he wasn’t scared or fearful, but worried about what she would do to his family. He had Alice and Grace to think about now, what if she found them? “Esther can’t be back,” He signed heavily as he pinched the bridge of his nose as he could deal with the wrath of his mother, but Alice and Grace didn’t know what to expect and he knew his mother would go after them as well.

    “She said she was here for to forgive me, but I know what she’s like and I don’t trust her.” He looked at the woman he loved as he continued to pace the living room, he had killed his mother once before and if he had to do it again then he would without any hesitation. “You could find somewhere to stay for a while, as far away from Mystic Falls as you can go. Then you and Grace will be safe, until I figure out what my mother truly wants.” He moved over to Alice, his hand instantly moving to cup her cheek. “I’m not going to risk anything happening to you or my daughter,” He gazed into her stunning eyes, he wasn’t going to lose her again. Esther could have anything planned and he wouldn’t find out until the last possible second, just that thought put him on edge.
    Alice pushed a door open before she stepped outside and walked straight towards the lunch table that she always sat at with Jeremy, it had quickly become their table as it was the furthest one away from the school. She smiled when her eyes landed on Jeremy who was at the table waiting for her, and she wanted nothing more than to have his arms wrapped tightly around her. “So much for wanting a have a somewhat normal life,” She looked at him once she was close enough, her mom had told her that morning that Klaus’ mother was back. She was still getting her mind around who her father was and the family he came from, but now her grandmother was in Mystic Falls when she was meant to be dead. “It’s one thing after another,” She hated complaining about anything, but it hadn’t been that long since she found out Klaus was her father, now she had yet another Mikaelson in her life. Jeremy was the only piece of stability in her life, and she adored him for that, he was exactly what she needed, and he didn’t even know.

    Leaning into him, she rested her hand on his cheek before she pressed her lips to his. “I don’t know how I’d deal with all of this without you,” She smiled at him as her thumb moved over his cheek gently, she would have already lost her mind if she didn’t have Jeremy by her side. She didn’t know how to thank him for everything he did for her, just saying ‘thank you’ wouldn’t cut it and she knew that. Because of the news about her grandmother who Grace now knew was a witch and was the ones who turned her children into vampires, she had been struggling to concentrate on anything that was being said in all her classes. Her mind continued to go back to the family she now had and she wasn’t sure if she wanted to be a Mikaelson or not.

    Alice watched Klaus as he paced, worried. She’d only ever seen him like this when Mikael had come around, and she wasn’t sure what to do to help. She wasn’t sure there was anything she could say or do to make any of this better. “Klaus,” she murmured, breathing out quietly when he cupped her cheek, closing her eyes as she leaned into his touch, trying to think of a way to help, a way to ease his mind. “I don’t want to leave you again.” They’d already been apart for so long, they’d only just found each other again. She didn’t want to leave, but she also didn’t want to stay and risk Grace getting caught in Esther’s wrath, she didn’t want the girl to get stuck in the crossfire. She chewed on her lip, unsure, wishing there was something else they could do, but she was at a loss. “When should we leave?”
    Jeremy’s eyes had scanned the cafeteria while he waited for Grace patiently. Once he spotted her, he couldn’t help but perk up, smiling when she approached. The sight of her smile stole his attention more than anything, causing his focus to center entirely on her, on her happiness even. When he heard her words, though, he blinked. “Oh? What happened?” he asked, his brows furrowing with concern as he reached to wrap his arm around her shoulders to tug her closer to himself, being gentle about it but wanting to hold her no matter what. His mind was distracted from his concerns, though, when he felt her kiss, and he couldn’t help but grin, returning the kiss while it lasted. “Well, it’s a good thing we’re in this together then, huh?” Arching a brow, he rubbed her shoulder, though his expression softened as he took her in. “How are you doing, though? Really?”

    Klaus looked at the love of his life as he moved his thumb gently over her cheek, he wanted to send Alice away with his daughter as a way to protect them. But was that the right move? Alice had been moving from town to town and city to city, he didn't want to force her to be on the run or be in hiding. "Maybe don't leave just yet, my mother gets her way and would find you even if you went into hiding." He hated this, he hated not being in control and his enemies being a step ahead of him. Leaning forward he pressed a kiss to Alice's forehead, "Esther is wanting to hold a grand ball. Would you accompany me?" His eyes taking in the beauty forward him, if he was going to suffer through the ball and whatever else his mother had planned, he wanted to suffer through it all with Alice by his side.

    "We can dance and drink and cause havoc for my mother," He smirked as he tucked a strand of dark hair behind Alice's ear, he wanted to see what his mother was up to before he sent anyone away. Partly because he couldn't bare to be separated from Alice again, no matter if it was to be a short period of time or a long one. He needed her there at his side, if he had that then he'd be unstoppable.
    The second that Grace sat down at the table, she leaned into Jeremy as his arm brought her in close. "I overheard my Mom talking with Alice this morning, apparently Klaus' mother is back in town. She's the big bad witch that turned her kids into vampires," She explained with a heavy sign because she wasn't ready for something like this, she was still coming to terms about who her family was and what that made her. She really wasn't ready to deal with Esther coming into her life, or as close to her as Klaus would allow. Her mom's voice was strained this morning and when she left for school, only Alice faced her and that meant one thing, her mom was terrified.

    "I don't know what I'd do without you, I don't even want to think about that." She looked at Jeremy as she knew she would have struggled so much more if he wasn't there for her, she couldn't bare to do this without him. "My mom's really scared and I couldn't tell how Alice is feeling, which makes me nervous. I don't know what to expect, does Esther know about me, is she going to come after me." Grace rambled as hundreds of thoughts flashed through her mind. She knew Esther was a powerful witch, would that make her a threat to Esther? Or would Esther be happy to have a grandchild, or would she come after Grace. Was she putting Jeremy in more danger now, would Esther go after him. "I don't know what to do," She admitted to him quitely, the only thing she would do was protect Jeremy.
