Revelations - Klaus Mikaelson

Chapter 10; Christmas surprise

Aemiliana

“MUM! DAD! WAKE UP! IT’S CHRISTMAS!” was what I woke up to, and her banging on the bedroom door.

Rolling over with a groan, I finally pulled my eyes open. “We’re getting up” I called through the door as I looked over at Nik, who seemed wide awake with a smile on his face. “Merry Christmas, love”

I smiled at him before pressing my lips against his. “Merry Christmas” I whispered, just as there was another bang on the door.

“Would you both hurry up! Elijah’s making us wait until your both downstairs, before we can open any presents” Henrik complained through the door, making me chuckle to myself.

“Go away Henrik” Nik told him before he looked at me. “Come on Mrs” I rolled my eyes at him, but a wide smile appeared on my face as he climbed out of bed in all his naked glory.

Best start to a Christmas morning.

“Do we have to go downstairs?” I asked as I sat up on my knees, looking at Nik from underneath my eyelashes, and I smiled widely when he turned around and stared at my naked chest, hungrily.

“I suggest that you get into some clothes, or we’re never going to get downstairs” Nik spoke throwing me one of my crushed velvet tracksuit, and my fluffy slippers, before he changed into some jeans and a top.

“What about a shower?” I asked innocently, looking at my husband.

“If we share a shower right now, Aemiliana, we will never leave this room” He told me seriously, making me sigh. “Fine” I grumbled before getting changed without showering.

Honestly, I felt disgusting. I like my showers in a morning.

Once we both had our bodies covered, we made our way downstairs, joining the rest of the family in the living room, where they were waiting for us.

Walking in, the first thing I noticed was the giant pile of present. Holy cow!

“Finally! Come on” Phoebe shouted excitedly, pulling us both over to the others, that was sat around the Christmas tree and presents.

As everyone dived in to open their presents, I sat back and watched Phoebe open hers, with a smile on my face.

Seeing my daughter smile everytime she opened something new, made my Christmas even better.

I’ve never had my daughter with me at Christmas, which is why I hated it so much. Christmas is about spending time with your loved ones, showing how much they mean to you, having a memory of you all together, that you can hold on with you forever.

And this is one Christmas I will remember.

Every present she opened from me, she thanked me repeatedly, making me smile. She had no need to thank me, she’s my daughter and I would give her everything I could.

Coming out of my thoughts, I watched as Phoebe rushed over to Nik, and gave him a hug, and much to the families surprised, he wrapped his arms around her, hugging her back. “Thank you” She smiled at him, before going back to her original seat, with a wide smile on her face.

“You’re welcome, princess” He smiled at her, before she went back to opening her presents.

I leant over to Nik and whispered in his ear. “What did you get her?” I asked him confused. “A first addition” He shrugged, looking at me from the corner of his eyes, with his lips twitching.

I carried on watching her open the rest of her presents from the rest of the family, and thanking them, before it was Nik’s turn.

He mostly got art stuff from everyone, but once he opened the necklace I got him, he smiled widely, pulling me into a kiss, before putting the necklace around his neck, adding to the ones he already had on.

“Are you going to open yours love?” Nik asked raising his eyebrows, making me nod, before my presents was placed in front of me.

Phoebe got me a new outfit, which I decided that I was going to wear today after I got a shower. Bekah, got me some new boots that I was also going to wear today since they’d go with the outfit.

As I opened the present from Elijah, I raised my eyebrow at him confused. It was a thick book, but had nothing in it.

“It’s to write your new spells in… I thought it was only fitting since you’re finally finding out about your lineage” He shrugged, making me smile widely at him. Like I had done with Bekah and Phoebe I thanked him, and gave him a hug before I went back to opening the presents.

Kol, got me a bottle of whiskey, full of blood, which was typical for Kol. “Uh?” I asked with my lips twitching. He does know that I can only drink Nik’s blood right.

“You can’t drink alcohol, so I got Nik to give me some of his blood, so now you can drink with us” He winked at me, making me shake my head.

Of course, it had to be Kol who came up with a present like this, but he wouldn’t be Kol if he hadn’t. “Thanks”

Henrik had gotten me some new makeup, which had me looking at him concerned. “Do you have something to tell us, Henrik?” I asked him with my lips twitching.

He looked at me confused, before his eyes widened. “NO! Phoebe, helped me” He quickly rushed out, making us all laugh at him.

“Relax, I’m only joking. Even if you were gay, I wouldn’t be bothered” I told him, before I gave him a hug. “Thank you”

Finn, got me a new photo album, which he explained was for when the twins get here, to add pictures to it, for me to remember.

By the time, he finished explaining what it was for I had tears in my eyes as I thanked him.

Nik got me a Cartier diamond love bracelet, which I loved. He also got me a set of diamond earrings and necklace which, I knew I’d be wearing today.

As I looked at all my presents I couldn’t help but smile. I loved it all.

My family was the best, I could wish for.

“There’s one more present for you” Nik spoke up, making me look at him confused, especially when he stood up, and offered me his hand. “Come”

I looked around at the rest of the family, confused, who was smiling at me, before putting my hand in Nik’s, letting him help me up.

I followed him silently as he walked me to the main door. “Nik?” I asked confused, but he just smirked at me. “Close your eyes” He ordered.

Doing as I was told, I closed my eyes, before hearing the door open, and Nik started guiding me outside. “Keep your eyes closed”

After a couple of more steps, we stopped, before I felt Nik’s breath against my neck. “Open your eyes beautiful”

I snapped my eyes open, letting out a gasp as I stared at the white range rover, that was in front of me.

“Merry Christmas love” Nik whispered, holding a set of keys up in front of my face.

I turned around and gave him a hug. “Thank you. I love you”

“You’re welcome” He winked at me, pressing his lips against mine. “We can go out for a ride later”

I smiled thinking of what could possibly happened on this ride.

After another quick kiss, and thank you, I decided to go and get cleaned up, ready to spend the day with my family.

For the first time in centuries, I was going to celebrate Christmas with the ones I love the most.

Nik joined me, sharing a quick shower, which I gave him a proper thank you, before he got ready and went back downstairs.

I think someones excited about celebrating Christmas, but I couldn’t blame him, this years a good year.

I got my memories back, Mikael’s dead, I got rid of Esther for good, I got my daughter back, I found my biological brother, Nik’s finally woke his siblings from their deep slumber, and I’m carrying his babies.

Even though I found out that Damon and Stefan aren’t my biological family, they will still always be my brothers, we’ve been through a lot together, to just forget them both.

Once I was all cleaned up, I dried off, before getting changed into the new outfit I got today.

I looked in the mirror, and not to toot my own horn, but I looked hot, but the little bump that was showing made the outfit look even better.

With a smile on my face I made my way downstairs and into the living room, where everyone was.

As I walked in Finn looked over at me smiling widely, making the others turn around and look at me.

“You look sexy”

“You look hot”

“You look beautiful”

“Wow”

“Woot, woo”

Was what came from Bekah, Kol, Phoebe, Henrik, Atticus, Finn and Elijah, while Nik stared at me with awe and love in his eyes, and a wide smile on his face.

“You look amazing love” Nik smiled at me as he walked over to me, pulling me towards him, pressing his lips against mine, giving me a smile once we pulled away from eachother.

I looked at Phoebe and smiled, the outfit I had gotten her suited her well. “You look-“ I was cut off by the doorbell ringing, making us all look at eachother confused, since we couldn’t hear a heartbeat coming from whoever it was.

Nik made me, Phoebe and Bekah stay in the living room, while he and the others went to go see who it was, which made me roll my eyes.

Overprotective fool.

I can look after myself, so can Bekah, and I’m sure Phoebe could, but even so, they’d have to go through me before anyone even attempted to hurt my daughter.

“Huh, guys” Kol called, sounding confused, making the three of us share a look before we joined them all at the main door.

As I saw what was sat on our doorstep, my jaw dropped and my eyes widened. “What the hell”

There was a huge pile of presents just sat there, but nobody with them. “They’re from your parents” Nik explained.

I looked at him before stepping outside, to look around to see if I could see or hear them close by, but I couldn’t.

Sighing to myself, I turned around to look at the name tags on the presents, realizing there was presents here for the whole family.

“Let’s get them inside” Finn spoke up, making the lads snap out of it and grab the presents between them and took them into the living room.

I followed them in, behind Bekah and Phoebe, since I was still in shock. My parents had still brought us all presents even though I haven’t been in their life for over 100 years.

Like earlier, I sat back and watched everyone open their presents, wanting to know what they all got, and I had to admit, they got everyone stuff they like.

As Phoebe got to her last present, every eye in the room was on her.

As she read the tag her eyes widened, before snapping her head towards me. “What’s wrong?” I asked her confused.

Instead of answering me she ripped off the wrapping paper, revealing an old looking thick book.

“What is it?” Atticus asked confused. “My mums first ever grimoire” She whispered before opening it.

Once she flicked through all the pages, reading a couple of spells, I asked to have a look at it. I wanted to see what was in there.

As I looked at the grimoire, I noticed it had a symbol on it, one that looked familiar, but I couldn’t place it.

Reading the spells, I realised how powerful I used to be. There was every spell I could think of in this grimoire.

Smiling at Phoebe, I passed her it back, but she shook her head. “It’s yours mum. Your first ever grimoire”

I shrugged. “Yes, well now I’m passing it on to my daughter” I told her, giving her a look, that meant not to argue with me.

She smiled widely at me, before giving me a hug. “Thank you” She whispered before going back to her original sitting position, making me chuckle.

“Pass me mine, please” I asked Nik, since he was closer than I was, and I was too lazy to stand up and walk over to grab them.

Nik rolled his eyes, but did as I asked, making me smile at him. “Cheers”

I ended up getting a photo album that had pictures of my life with them, it had pictures of me and Atticus, and by the looks of it, I’ve always been a short arse. There was also pictures of the four of us together, as a family. A mother, father, daughter, and son.

Along with the photo album, I got some new jewellery, clothes, shoes, and my old journals.

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting anything from them, and because of my stupid hormones, a tear slipped down my cheek, before I quickly wiped it away.

Thankfully, I don’t think anyone saw it, or if they did, they didn’t say anything.

I looked over to Atticus, seeing he was staring down at an old looking book, it looked like the same book as my old journals.

“Atticus? What is it?” I asked confused, but instead of saying anything, he passed me the book. “Just look”

Opening the book, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion, seeing a drawing of Atticus and a young woman, they both looked like they were teenagers. “Who is she?” I asked looking at him.

“You don’t remember her?” He asked shocked, which made even more confused. “Should I?”

“Antonia Seanwell” He stated, and as he said the name something must have clicked because I was suddenly hit with a flashback.

I was sat looking through my grimoire when Atticus came into the room, looking angry. “Che succede, fratello?” (What is the matter, brother?) I asked, worried for him.

“Antonia, l'ho beccata con un altro uomo” (Antonia, I caught her with another man) He mumbled, sounding heartbroken, which made me angry.

“Che cosa! Dove si trova quella piccola puttana?!” (What! Where is that little b***h?!) I stood up, but Atticus tried to stop me.

“Per favore, vi, non fare sciocchezze, madre e padre non sarà felice” (Please, Aemiliana, don’t do anything stupid, mother and father will not be happy)

“Madre e padre non saprà delle mie azioni, se lo faccio come qualsiasi essere umanomortale sarebbe” (Mother and father will not know of my doings, if I do it as any mortal human being would) I told him, giving him a pointed look, but he didn’t look convince.

“Ha fatto male, Atticus, e in cambio Devo farle, quindi per favore non cercare di fermarmi, fratello” (She hurt you, Atticus, and in return I must hurt her, so please don’t try and stop me, brother) I stated strongly, before going to walk out of our home, ready to find the girl who hurt my brother, but he grabbed my arm.

“Non sto cercando di smettere di voi, vi. Sto solo assicurando che sai delle conseguenze se madre e padre scoprono” (I’m not trying to stop you, Aemiliana. I’m just making sure you know of the consequences if mother and father find out) Atticus told me, with soft eyes, making me sigh.

“Madre e padre non saprà mai. Ora andiamo a trovare la sgualdrina” (Mother and father will never know. Now let’s go find the trollop) I told him, and he nodded before we went out to search for Miss Seanwell.

We found her in the woods, with a different man than what Atticus caught her with, proving what sort of woman she was.

Using my magic, I made a sword appear in my hands, throwing it with perfect aim, making it stab the human male right in the heart, he gasped out in shock, before falling to the floor dead.

“Che cosa hai fatto?” (What did you do?) Antonia screeched, as she noticed me and Atticus stood there.

“Una cos ache dovreste sapere su mia famiglia Miss Seanwell, non ci piace essere fatto come un Pazz” (One thing you should know about my family Miss Seanwell, we don’t like being made as a fool) I told her before I used my magic to appear in front of her, strangling her with my werewolf strength.

“Pensavi davvero che sarebbe stato permesso di avere affair alle mie spalle di fratelli?” (Did you really think that you would be allowed to have affairs behind my brothers back?) I gritted my teeth.

“A-Atticus, a-aiutami” (A-Atticus, h-help m-me) Antonia gasped out looking at my brother, who just stared her dead in the eyes.

“Va bene” (Okay) My brother nodded, making me look at him like he was crazy, and he was if he thought I was going to let her get away with this.

Before I could think, Atticus used his magic on me and flung me away from her, before he appeared in front of her himself, a sword in his hand, which was shoved through Antonia’s stomach, pinning her to the tree.

I stared at the now, slowly dying Antonia who had hurt in her eyes. “lo conosco la verià Antonia. Ti ho visto questa mattina con quell’uomo, ma ora ti prendo con un uomo completamente diverso. Non sei la donna che ho usato per amore” (I know the truth Antonia. I saw you with that man this morning, but now I catch you with a completely different man. You’re not the woman I used to love) Atticus told her sadly, before she took her last breath…

Coming out of the memory, I looked over at my brother. “Hey, she deserved it. You did her a favour, because if it was me, I would have done worse” I shrugged trying to make him feel better.

“But why would they send me this?” He asked confused, but I shrugged my shoulders. “They didn’t find out, so they probably thought you might have wanted it for the memories”

“Who is she?” Bekah asked confused. “My cheating, dead, ex-fiancé” Atticus told her before throwing the book on the burning fire.

“You killed her?” Phoebe asked shocked.

“I wasn’t going to” Atticus mumbled looking at the fire intently. “I caught her with another man. I told Aemiliana, and she wanted to kill her, make it look like any human could have done it, but in the end, I used my magic on my sister and killed her myself… our parents were none the wiser”

“We know now”

We all snapped our heads towards the voice, seeing a man and a woman stood there, looking at us all.

Oh s**t!
