"Jo lived here," Nik and Margot heard Alaric say as they walked back to the Gemini house. The history teacher was showing the brothers pictures he had taken from inside the home. "There's a drawer inside full of stuff. Newspaper articles about Jo's medical clamp, pictures of her as a kid, pictures of her as a teenager-"

Damon glanced down at a photo, "Hold please," He spoke as he grabbed onto it, "Rewind. That's Kai from planet 1994."

Stefan frowned, "Wait, Jo is his sister?"

"You guys didn't put that together already?" Margot asked as she took the picture from Damon, smiling slightly at the sight of Kai. "Even I did and I haven't even seen this Jo woman... not since I was five at least."

Stefan rolled his eyes playfully, "Shut up, kiddo."

"I didn't know I had guests," A man spoke from behind them.

Margot held back a sigh as she turned to face him. He looked the same as he did four years ago. Albeit, he looked even uglier with age.

She sent him a big smile, "Joshua. Lovely to see you... How're the kids?"

"Ellie," He spoke as he held back a recoil, "As you know, the kids are dead."

"Not like they didn't deserve it... Kinda wish he went after you first though, old man. Would've made life so much sweeter."

Damon glanced at her, "You know him?"

"I tried to kill him."

"And you failed," Joshua pointed out with a smirk.

"No. No, that's what you think. The only reason why I didn't kill you was because I knew Kai wanted to kill you himself. Now that I've talked to him though... I don't think he'd mind."

Before she could summon the blue mist, Damon stopped her, "We need answers."

Margot rolled her eyes, "Fine. Don't touch him though. Witches and their spells..."

Not listening to her, Damon went over to shake the man's hand. Instantly, he and Joshua went invisible earning a scoff from Margot, "No one listens. I'm surrounded by morons."

Nik chuckled as he led her back to the car before setting her up on the hood. "I hope you aren't calling me a moron, love."

"It depends," She teased as she took his lips on her own.

"What about Damon?" He asked against her lips.

"He'll be fine. Joshua won't kill him... only maim him. If anything, you should be worried about my dad who happens to be standing ten feet away from us."

The hybrid quickly pulled away, vamp speeding away from her before leaning against a tree and crossing his arms, "Stefan! What a coincidence!"

Stefan scoffed as he rubbed his forehead, "Oh my god. You're engaged to my daughter, Klaus. And you got her pregnant, you're allowed to kiss her."

"I am?"

"He is?"

Stefan chuckled, "You know Maggie, sometimes I think you are the smartest person on the planet and other times I think you are the stupidest."

"Aye!... Yeah, that makes sense."

The two Salvatores glanced over at Nik. They could smell his blood. "Nik? You alright, puppy?" She asked as she hopped off the hood with the help of Stefan.

The hybrid grunted slightly, "Yeah, I'm good, love. I uh... I sped over here a little too fast and the tree impaled me."

Stefan almost doubled over in laughter while Margot smiled, "You're such an idiot," She teased as she helped pull him off the tree.

He smiled up at her, "But I'm your idiot."

She sent him a small smile before pressing her lips against his for a quick kiss, "That's right, puppy."

Stefan smiled at the pair. His daughter really was happy. After everything she had been through, she was finally happy.

He was more than proud of her.

"Margot!" They heard Alaric yell. "Margot! Help!"

The heretic sighed before walking out to the clearing, Nik and Stefan following her. "What's wrong?"

"Joshua is trying to kill Jo!"

"Jo as in the bitchy twin sister? Good riddance."

"Please, Margot. I love her!"

Margot sucked her teeth before sighing, "Fine." With that, she walked over to the Gemini home before siphoning the barrier spell.

"I'd look away if you're squeamish," She told him before grabbing Joshua with her blue mist. She grinned as she threw him across the field, the act immediately stopping the spell.

"No!" The man yelled as he stood back up.

Margot walked over to him as she played with the blue mist, "Killing your kid. That's fucked up, Joshua," She scoffed.

The vampires could hear as the man's blood began to boil. It made an awful sizzling noise. "Feel that? I'm cooking you from the inside out."

His screams filled her ears. It sounded like heaven.

"Are you going to answer my friends' questions now?" She asked.

"N-No!" Through his screams, he muttered quietly, "Invisique."

Margot scoffed as the man turned invisible. "Dick."

She glanced back at the four men behind her who all stared at her with shocked expressions. "What?"

Nik smirked, "Well I can't answer for them, but I must say, that was hot, love."

She grinned as she tilted her head, "I try. Well, this was a dead end. Let's go home."

Damon rolled his eyes as they walked back to their rented car, "Alright, so let's just get this straight. We went to the airport, we took all our clothes off for security just so I can come out here, have my brain scrambled by Papa Kai, who, by the way, can disappear into thin air, poof! Only to find Jo's rust knife full of magic."

"And we learn that the ascendant, i.e., the only reason we flew our asses out here in the first place, is actually with Jo at Whitmore five minutes from where we started. Great," Stefan spoke.

Alaric sighed, "Jo said that she kept it with her to ensure that Kai would never be released."

"Genius. Great. Then we go home. Shotgun, come on."

Alaric stopped them before they could get in the car, "Guys- hey wait. We can't do this, alright? We need to find another way, one that doesn't end up with my girlfriend dead."

"Girlfriend? You've been on like three dates."

Stefan sighed, "Nice, Damon."

"What? I'm just saying. He barely knows her. Her literal evil twin is over there with Bonnie right now."

Margot sighed, "He's not evil."

Alaric, ignoring her, spoke once again, "I will do what I can to help, but we're not letting her brother out."

The heretic glanced at Nik. This was going to be a problem.

She would get Kai out, even if she had to kill the stupid history teacher and his bitch of a girlfriend.

Damon glanced at Margot before walking over to Alaric and grabbing onto his shoulders, "Ok. Get the ascendant from Jo. Do whatever you gotta do to get it. Do you understand?"

Compelled, Alaric answered, "I understand."

— — —

Stefan, with the convincing of Margot, had gone to find Caroline as soon as they got back to Whitmore.

Damon and Alaric left as well which left Nik and Margot alone as they drove back to Mystic Falls.

"What are we doing tonight?" The pregnant woman asked as she stared out the window.

"Rebekah's cooking dinner... So we'll probably order takeout and try to get Elijah drunk," The hybrid answered with a smile.

Margot chuckled, "You sound so sure... Is this a hidden tradition?"

He nodded, "Kol and I always try but it never happens."

She grinned, "Hundred bucks if I get him drunk."

"You're on, love."

Two hours later, Elijah was laying down on the floor playing with a stuffed dolphin, surrounded by shot glasses.

Margot grinned from her spot on the couch as she held her hand out to Nik, "Pay up, puppy."

The hybrid rolled his eyes playfully before handing her his billfold. Her eyes widened slightly, "The deal was a hundred, Nik... Not whatever this is."

He shrugged as he threw yet another piece of popcorn at Elijah causing the vampire to twitch and babble. "You deserve it. Besides, you and my sister are going baby shopping tomorrow."

Kol and Rebekah walked back inside the room, Kol immediately sitting beside Margot before laying his head on her lap while Rebekah sat on the floor beside Elijah who was muttering about the dolphin.

Since Margot had gotten back, Kol had stuck close by her side. He was incredibly protective over the pregnant woman, almost more than Nik.

She was like another sister to him. And he liked to hear the twin's soft heartbeats. It was calming.

Nik, of course, was a little jealous but it kept Kol from going on killing sprees so he allowed it.

Suddenly, Elijah stood up before smacking Nik in the face with the stuffed dolphin.

They were all silent for a moment as they watched Elijah drunkenly begin to dance with the dolphin.

"I think you got him a little too drunk, love," Nik spoke up, his hand on his cheek from where the dolphin hit him.

"... Maybe I shouldn't have told him he was drinking for four."

Rebekah smirked as she watched her brother trip over his feet before falling onto the floor, still hugging the dolphin, "Oh no, this is the best entertainment I've had in centuries... I do hope you still have those security cameras, Nik. This is wonderful blackmail."
