Dear Diary,

I haven't written in so long that I've forgotten how. Well, Stefan and I decided to become friends. Damon and I are also friends. I told them I wouldn't be like Katherine or Alara, so I chose to let them go. I'm almost due to give birth to my twins. That's right I'm having another set of twins with Damon. Elena and Matt are still together and going strong. Caroline and Tyler are still dating and are also going strong. Bonnie and my little brother are so in love it makes me sick. Jenna and Ric are also together. It makes me happy that they're finally getting their happy ending. Stefan, Damon, and I are good friends. I have become friends with the originals. Caroline, Elena, and Bonnie are throwing me a baby shower, and they invited everyone. Well, that's my cue. Got to go.

I walked right outside to see everyone there, ready for the gender reveal. Damon and I sit with my aunt Jenna, Alaric, Jeremy, Bon-Bon, Elena, and Matt. The original family has arrived, including their mother, Esther. It's odd having their mother here but everything has been quiet as of late. We got started on the games everyone was playing. For once, the Mikaelsons and my friends were getting along. The boys were playing a game where they had to change the baby's diaper. The only one that did a good job was Alaric.

"Yeah, Ty. You're never babysitting my kids," Damon and I say at the same time. Everyone laughed. "It's time for the parents to see if they're having boys or girls," Caroline says excitedly. Damon and I stood in the middle of the room with two balloons. We poked the balloons at the same time, and blue confetti came out. Damon and I hugged each other. We were happy with our babies. We were putting Damon's babies in the same room as Stefan's. We added two more nurseries for the two new additions.

"Thank you, Elle. For making me the happiest man with these two beautiful boys," Damon says with a smile, and I nod. Everyone congratulated us even the Mikaelsons. After everyone had gone home Damon had stayed behind to keep me company like he always does. That night our boys were born. After hours at the hospital, I had finally given birth to two beautiful boys. "Everyone welcome Adriel James Salvatore-Gilbert and Sebastian Santiago Salvatore-Gilbert. The new additions to the family," I introduced. It was a peaceful time that we had. Everything seems to be going normally and good for all of us.

Damon has yet to t leave my side. He has been home for over five weeks. And he was also here when I received an invitation to the Mikaelson ball, which he didn't want me to go by the way. But I'm going I don't care what he has to say about it. Jenna, Ric, Jeremy, and Elena wanted to stay in and babysit. Which I won't complain about.

After I was done getting ready I headed right to the Mikaelson's house when Stefan and Damon saw me a walk-in. Both brothers extended their arms for me to take and I did.

"I thought we said you wouldn't come," Damon mutters and I shrug. "No, you said I shouldn't come. But when do I ever listen to you?" I ask smiling at both brothers. We were finally, okay. I was friends with both of them, and they were good parents to the kids. We were one big family. I heard Elijah talk about a century waltz. As soon as they said to find a partner, Damon pulled me over to his side. "Where are the kids?" he asks. "They're with Jenna, Jeremy, Elena, Alaric, and Matt don't worry," I reply and he nods.

The song starst, and all the partners get together.

Third POV

The Mikaelson brothers were watching the Gilbert girl intensively. They were already fighting over her. She reminded them of the time when they were human. There were no vampires, no werewolves, nothing terrible. Elle landed in the arms of Elijah Mikaelson. He admired her beauty. He would admit she was more radiant than Alara ever was. She was innocent and pure. She was selfless something Alara never was. She was honest, something Tatia never was. She was kind something Katerina never was. She could warm the coldest hearts without even knowing.

"May I say you look magnificent, Elizabeth," says the noble original. She smiles at him, and that smile would cause his heart to beat faster if he were human. "Thank you, Elijah. You look very handsome as well," the sweet girl offers back. After a few minutes, it was time to change partners, and she landed in the arms of the crazy Mikaelson. Kol. "Hello, love, you look gorgeous in this blue dress. It fits you perfectly," compliments the reckless original. "Thank you, Kol. You clean up nice," the girl replies with a small smile. She was shy since she didn't know him much.

She had a new partner this time. It was Klaus Mikaelson. "Hello, love. You look ravishing tonight," states the original hybrid. Elle looks down, feeling shy by all the compliments she has received. All the original brothers had complimented her, and she danced with them only. "Thank you, Klaus. You look very nice as well,"  says the brown-haired girl. The dance ended, and she headed upstairs to see Esther. Damon had surprisingly let her see her. As long she promised to tell him what she wanted to talk to her about. Esther never wanted to reunite her family. She wanted to undo the evil she created by killing all of her children.

Elle takes a walk outside and finds herself by the stables admiring the horses. Klaus approaches her.

"You like horses?" he asks. "I do. My mom and dad used to take Elena and me to ride horses once every couple of months. It was our favorite thing to do over the summer. Now tell me what do you need, Klaus?" Elle asks. "I fancy you. Is that so hard to believe?" Klaus replies with a question. "Yes!" Elle exclaimed. "Why? You are beautiful; you're strong, you're full of light. I enjoy you," the hybrid responds. "Well, I have four kids by two different men. That's a deal-breaker I would say so myself," the Mikaelson man shrugs. "Well, I'm gonna go," as she walks away from him. Elle's guilt was killing her. She knew Esther wanted to kill her children. She was a mother herself, she would never do something that would hurt her children, and she would not allow Esther to kill hers. So she changed the champagne glasses to regular ones and put a hold on Esther's plan. As much as she didn't like Klaus she couldn't let their mother do that to him, especially his siblings. She wrote a letter to Elijah explaining what she did. And how she was very sorry for helping her.

Elle's Pov

I had just gotten home, and my kids were finally home with me. I had just put them to bed when I heard the doorbell. I made my way downstairs and saw the original family except for Finn right outside my door. "Elijah, what are you doing here?" I ask a bit confused about why they were here at this time of night. "I'm sorry to intrude, but I got your letter. And I wanted to say thank you for saving us," Elijah says with a smile and I nod. I look at him for a moment and see that he was being honest. "I'm sorry I didn't want to give her my blood, but she forced me. I didn't have a choice," I try to explain myself. "It's okay, love. You made sure we didn't drink the champagne our mother had for us," I nod at Klaus' words. I hear my babies cry. But I knew they wanted to talk. "Would you like to come in?" I ask the four originals and they nod before walking in. I went upstairs to get my kids while they sat down. They were not tired at all. So they were wide awake. From the corner of my eye, I saw them look at my kids, so I did something I never thought I would.

"Would you like to hold them?" I ask them. For a quick second, they were surprised but nodded. Rebekah took Grayson, Elijah took Alexander, Kol took Adriel and Klaus took Sebastian. And for a moment, they all felt normal nothing supernatural. That was the moment that I realized that the originals were not bad people; they had a tough life. A father that chased them off every time they had something good, and enemies all over the world.

"So Rebekah, tell me. How does it feel to live a thousand years?" I ask genuinely. She looks surprised by the question but answers nonetheless. "Beautiful. You see many things being built. I saw empires rise and fall. Met many people but never got the chance to see much for many reasons," Rebekah looks at Klaus making me understand what she meant.

"That sounds nice. I've always dreamt of living forever, you know. Before the sacrifice, Damon fed me his blood. I had already made up my mind about being a vampire and living forever with Stefan. I was ready to do it if it came to," I say. The originals seem surprised by my answer. "When you love someone, you want to live your life with them even if that means forever," I add and they nod with a smile on their face. "Now I have to live for my children," I smile at my boys and it seems like they return the gesture.

"You're very brave Elizabeth. You have been through a difficult ordeal yet you manage to find peace in the end," says Kol. "Well, I don't get to live forever. Besides, why carry such hatred and resentment over the years when some people don't even care," I say and he nods. "All you do is hurt yourself. I prefer to say my piece and leave," I add. Hours lat. they left, I was left alone with my thoughts. Maybe the originals are not so bad.
