58; Photo Memories

LILLY

I woke up this morning smiling to myself. Nik had his arm wrapped around me, with his hand on my stomach, which had a tiny little bump, which you could barely see.

I grabbed his hand, and slowly slid out from underneath it, before laying it back down on the bed.

I quickly jumped into the shower getting freshened up before getting changed into a grey dress, pairing it with a pair of blue high heels. I went with a natural look for my make-up and shoved my hair into a messy bun. To finish the outfit I grabbed one of my lapis lazuli necklaces.

Once I was ready, I made my way downstairs pouring myself a glass of blood, before I walked into the living room, and relaxing before everyone else woke up.

It's being horrible these past couple of days. Everyone's being making me sit down and do nothing, while they did everything. And I hated it. I'm pregnant, not bloody dying.

I placed my hand on my belly, feeling the life inside me. It's still not sunk in that I'm carrying Nik's child. But the feeling is amazing.

I'm carrying my soul-mates child. That thought alone brought a wide smile on my face. "That smile tells me that you're thinking about my brother"

I screamed, as I jumped out of my seat, throwing my glass of blood onto the floor. Shit! I looked over to see who I was about to kill, to see Kol, with a smile on his face.

But before I could kill him, Bekah, Nik, Finn, Elijah, Henrik and Phoebe was at the door, with their faces vamped out.

Once they noticed Kol stood with a smile on his face, they calmed down. "What happened?" Nik asked walking into the room.

"The dick scared me" I glared at Kol, who was still smiling. "Kol, you idiot, she's pregnant. You can't go around scaring pregnant women" Bekah snapped, shaking her head at him.

"That baby is a tribrid, I'm sure a little scare won't hurt it" Kol rolled his eyes, but I rushed over to him and slapped him around the face.

"That's for scaring me" I slapped him again. "That's for making me spill blood all onto the floor" I slapped him again. "That's for calling my baby it" I slapped him again. "And that's because it's fun" I smirked at him, before walking into the kitchen to pour myself another glass of blood.

"Is someone going to clean the blood up?" I heard Henrik ask, confused. "No. It won't come out. We'll need to get a new one" Elijah told him.

"What do you have planned today, love?" Nik asked as he walked into the kitchen all freshened up, and in clothes.

"I'm going to the boarding house" I told him, taking a drink of the blood, staring at him, ready for him to kick off.

"I don't think so" He shook his head, staring me down. "I need to. My stuffs still there. Stuff I need" I told him, silently begging him with my eyes.

"Let her go, Nik. I'll go with her" Bekah spoke, walking into the room. Seriously? I don't need a babysitter.

"I can look after myself you know" I mumbled, rolling my eyes.

"It's not just you anymore, Lilly" Elijah spoke walking in. What is it, gang up on Lilly day?

"I know, but I can look after us both" I told him. I was tired of being babysat. "Just let Bekah come with you" Nik told me, making me roll my eyes.

"Whatever. This is ridiculous" I grumbled, drinking the glass of blood, before walking towards the main door. "If you're coming Bekah, hurry up" I called, before walking outside.

I jumped into my car, starting it up, just as Bekah jumped in. "You know we're only worried about you" Bekah told me as I drove towards the boarding house.

"I know. But I can look after myself. I did it when I forgot you all, so I can do it now" I told her keeping my eyes on the road.

"We know, Lilly. But your family. And family looks after eachother" Bekah told me, just as I pulled up outside the boarding house.

I looked over at her smiling. "I know, and I appreciate it. But I don't like sitting around doing nothing" I told her before I jumped out.

I didn't bother knocking, deciding to just walk straight in. It is my home after all. "What the hell are you doing here?" Damon snapped as soon as I walked in.

"I came to get my stuff" I told him, rolling my eyes. "Well hurry up and get the hell out" He snapped glaring at me.

"It's my house aswel Damon. Remember?" I asked raising my eyebrows. "Not anymore. You're not a Salvatore. You're a disgrace" He snapped crossing his arms over his chest.

"Careful Damon. Your channelling Giuseppe" I smirked at him, knowing he'd hate that comment, but before he could say anything Stefan came walking into the house with Bonnie, Elena and Caroline behind him.

Once Bonnie looked at me, she started shaking in fear, making me smirk at her. "How's life without magic, Bonnie?" I asked raising my eyebrow.

She didn't say anything, but glared at me. In fact they all was, while me and Bekah stood with smiles on our faces.

"Give Bonnie her magic back, get your stuff and get the hell out of this house, and out of this town" Damon gritted out glaring at me.

"Are you threatening me?" I asked raising my eyebrows. "Lilly" Bekah warned, silently telling me to calm down, especially since I'm pregnant.

"What are you even here for?" Caroline asked crossing her arms over her chest. "To get my belongings" I told her.

"What did you do with Bonnie's magic?" Stefan asked quirking his eyebrow. "I took it away. It evaporated into thin air" I smirked at him. "Well if you'll excuse us. I have some stuff to get" I smirked at them before me and Bekah made our way upstairs.

Bekah, packed all of my clothes and shoes. While I packed all my valuables, making sure I had the baby photo I found when I first came back to Mystic Falls.

Once everything was packed up, Bekah helped me carry my stuff down to my car, leaving me to carry the lightest of thing.

I didn't say anything knowing that she was thinking about me and the baby, making me smile. My family was amazing. I just wish I wasn't such a bitch to them this morning.

Just as I carried the last small box down, Stefan stopped me. "Lilly!" He called, before appearing in front of me.

"What?" I sighed, tired already. "This is yours" He handed me biggish present. "What is it?" I asked confused.

"Open it when you get home" He told me before disappearing. I looked over at Bekah, raising my eyebrows, but she shrugged her shoulders.

"Come on, Mrs. Let's get you home, before they all start worrying about you" Bekah laughed, directing me towards the car.

As we pulled up outside the house, the rest of the family was stood outside, waiting to bring my stuff in. I wasn't going to say anything because I wanted to see what Stefan had given me.

I walked up to my witchy room, which was adjoined to Nik's art room, sitting down at the desk, with the parcel in front of me.

As I opened it, I was welcomed to see a photo album. As I opened it, I slapped my hand over my mouth. There was a picture of Phoebe. My baby girl.

"Oh my god" I whispered as I flicked through the pictures. They was all of my daughter, as she grew. How did he get these? Did he think giving me these would make me forgive him?

"What you doing love?" Nik asked as he walked in, making me snap my head towards him, with tears falling down my cheek. "What's wrong?" He asked worried.

I didn't say anything, instead I pushed the photo album towards him. "Who is it?" He asked looking through them. "Phoebe" I whispered, staring at the pictures myself.

"Where did you get them from?" He asked looking down at me. "Stefan gave me them" I told him.

"You know, we can make our own little photo album" Nik smiled as he looked through the pictures of Phoebe. "She looks a lot like you"

I nodded agreeing with him. She looked just like I did when I was a little girl. "Pack a couple of things love. We're going away for a while" Nik smiled down at me making me confused. "We?" I asked raising my eyebrows.

"Yes. Me and you" He nodded, with his lips twitching. "I can't. What about Phoebe? I can't just leave her Nik" I told him.

"Phoebe was the one who suggested we go away for a while" He laughed, making my eyes grow wide. "Seriously?" I asked, shaking my head.

"You deserve it, mum" Phoebe walked into the room, smiling, but once she looked down at the photo album, she ran her thumb over it. "I-is that me?" She asked looking over at me.

"Yep. I got it when I went back to the boarding house. Well Stefan gave me them" I nodded.

"Wow" She whispered, before looking back at me. "You deserve to go away, mum. I'll be here with the others so it's not like I'll be alone" She smiled, making me sigh.

"Fine. But one sign of trouble and you call us, and we'll be home straight away" I told her, making her nod. "Deal" She nodded, before pulling me out of my witchy room, and into mine and Nik's bedroom.

"Where are we going?" I asked as I started packing. I wasn't going to take much because I'll probably buy some new stuff from wherever we go.

"It's a surprise" Nik called from wherever he was in the house.

"Great help, Nik" I mumbled, rolling my eyes.

Once I had what I wanted packed, Nik came up to carry my suitcase downstairs, where all the family was waiting to say goodbye.

"I want loads of presents" Kol pointed at me, with a smirk on his face. "You're getting nothing" I told him, laughing.

While I said goodbye to everyone Nik quickly put our suitcases into the car before joining us.

Kol pulled me into a hug first. "Look after my niece or nephew" He smiled down at me. "Don't be getting my daughter into any trouble" I retorted before I moved on to say goodbye to Henrik.

"I'll see you when you get back, sister" He smiled as I pulled away. I smiled at him before hugging Bekah. "I want some new clothes" Bekah joke making me roll my eyes.

I looked over to Phoebe before pulling her into a hug. "Are you sure about this?" I asked her, pulling away.

"Absolutely" she nodded smiling at me. I sighed nodding my head. "Remember, any problems you ring me straight away" I reminded her making her roll her eyes.

"Yes. Now go" She laughed pushing me out of the door. I stared at her before slowly nodding, just as Nik grabbed my hand.

"Are you ready then love?" He asked making me nod. "Enjoy yourselves. Don't be getting into any trouble" Elijah called, as we walked over to the car, making me laugh.

"I'm pregnant 'Lijah. There's not much trouble I can get in, especially with Nik watching my every move" I laughed before jumping into the car.

As Nik started the car up he looked over at me. "You ready?" He asked raising his eyebrows, with a smile on his face.

I nodded smiling widely. "Let's go" Nik smiled at me, before beeping the horn at the family before we drove off, with the family waving behind us.
