Life was unpredictable. That was a big understatement in her life. How it was possible that today was the happiest and saddest day in her life? There was an opportunity palpable, real for her son to be saved and she could so easily lose it if her plans didn't go well. Bonnie could already feel it slipping through her fingers, the only chance her son had at living as she desperately run every single scenario in her head. It wasn't up to her, and this frustrated her to no end.

She could still hear her son's doctor and her conversation in her head. She was sitting across Dr. Robinson in her consulting room. The blonde pediatrician was talking a mile a minute with a smile so big that almost mirrored the one she was sporting for her baby boy's prognosis.

"We found the donor Bonnie. She is from Oregon and is thirty years old; she is willing to take a flight tomorrow so she can be in Seattle as soon as possible. The only things we need to sort out are her tickets, food and her stay in the state for the surgery. She is a good woman Bonnie; sadly she lost her child to leukemia a few years back. "

Bonnie's heart had gone to that woman in that moment. Of course she was going to pay for everything she needed to feel comfortable. She was about to save her son's life. She owed her everything.

"Yes, of course I'm going to pay for everything. She doesn't have to worry about that, is the right thing to do. So when can we start the treatment?"

"As soon as the surgery is paid we can start with Nate´s treatment. I recommend you Bonnie to do it as soon as possible as we don't have so much time."

"Okay. How much are we talking about?"

Bonnie took a deep breath and looked at the mansion before her. Two million dollars. That was how much money she needed so her son could have a new opportunity to live. That was the reason she was in a place she had no plans of visiting again in her life. A place that she swore to never put a foot inside again. She didn't have that amount on her bank account. Hell, she had been working and earning a decent salary at Salvatores Holding Inc. for a little less than three months. Between rent, hospital's bill and education she didn't have much left. But she knew someone who did.

The Mikaelson residence was the most beautiful house she had ever seen in her life. And this was saying something since thanks to her job she was able to help create masterpieces in the architectonical scene. Bonnie remembered the first time Kol brought her here, to meet his family, she was so amazed at the view of the mansion and had suddenly became so nervous that Kol had chuckled as he wrapped an arm around her petite shoulders and had whispered soothing words as he began walking them to the door.

"Relax darling, they will love you." He had said so honesty that Bonnie had believed him.

They didn't. Who were they kidding? She didn't have a chance even before meeting them, the Mikaelsons hated her from the very moment Kol had uttered a word about her and they realized just how serious he was. She was not another girl. She was the woman he had chosen to spend his life with. That didn't stop them tough from trying hopelessly to earn their blessing. Esther had tried, Bonnie had to give her that, but Mikael would rather be dead than accepting that his son had decided to go against his wishes to marry some daughter of one of his fat fish friends and decided to marry a girl with no money and no name. Kol had been so angry that day that he had grabbed her hand and practically dragged her with him to the door. He said they didn't need his family, he was fine without them. And if they didn't accept her they could fuck off. Bonnie was rendered speechless. This man was turning everything he knew away for her. He was choosing her, Bonnie Bennett. That was the first time in her life Bonnie felt so loved. Of course she didn't want Kol away from his family but she couldn't live without him either. That was not an option. She had for so many years let pass opportunities, hadn't fight hard enough for the things she wanted, that this was not the case. Kol was her happiness and she was putting herself first for once.

She handed the driver the money and climbed out of the taxi. The sky was practically falling down as the rain fall furiously wetting her hair and clothes. Bonnie adjusted her purse on her arm and closed her eyes as she reminded herself she was doing this for her son, she was doing this for Nate. Her pride, the ill-feelings she had towards her in laws and all her insecurities were cast aside for her son´s behalf. She would gladly spent the rest of her life paying every single dollar to this family if it meant her son gets to live a happy and long life.

Bonnie pushed the bottom of the intercom doorbell system and twisted her fingers nervously as she wait for a response. Her heart was on her throat. The voice of an older woman came through the device a moment later asking her who she was here to see.

"Mikael," Bonnie said her voice a little bit rasped. She cleared her throat. "I'm here to see Mikael Mikaelson."

Five minutes later a woman dressed in a service uniform came walking through the mansion´s gate. Her eyed widened when she saw Bonnie standing lost under the rain and Bonnie could see clearly in the woman's face that she knew who she was.

"Miss Bonnie, come inside." The woman who practically raised Kol ushered her inside the big house. Bonnie felt a relief came over her when she followed the woman inside the house. At least Mikael hadn't thrown her out already.

"Stay here I'll announce you." She said squeezing Bonnie's hands and leaving her alone in the foyer. Martha could see clearly the desperation of the young woman in her green eyes. She just hoped everything was fine with her.

Bonnie's throat tightened and breathing was becoming harder to do. She could see a big mahogany table from her spot in the foyer. Everyone was sitting eating dinner and laughing. Esther was sitting at the end of the table and two little girls were in each sides of her. Elijah, Kol's older brother was looking lovingly at one of the little girls and in front of him at the other side of the table was his wife. Bonnie remembered her name was Katherine and from what she gathered from Kol at the time she was an awful woman. But it was Michael who Bonnie was terrified to face. He was sitting at the end of the table with his back away from her.

"Mr. Mikaelson there is a woman who wants to see you." Martha said approaching with caution at her boss.

Everything happened in slow motion as Esther was laughing at something her granddaughter Nadia was saying and the next second she was staring at the eyes of the woman who according to her husband they has lost their son over. Her hand went to her mouth when she saw how broken Bonnie looked. A feeling went through her that she couldn't shake. Something was wrong.

"Bonnie," the Mikaelson matriarch whispered in astonishment.

Michael snapped his head up from his plate and looked head on at his wife. "What did you say?"

Time seemed to stop when Martha stood next to Mikael and he turned to see that woman. Bonnie tried not to cry but the emotions that were running through her were too much to bear. She was standing before Kol's family after five years of not seeing their faces and she couldn't stop the tears that were falling down her cheeks.

She locked eyes with Esther and sent her a pleading stare. She just wanted a minute, just a minute for them to listen to her explain her case. She was sorry for how everything went in the past but she needed help right now.

Esther stood slowly from the chair as if lifted by and invisible force but Michael's voice stop her dead in her tracks.

"And where the hell do you think you are going woman?" He gritted.

Esther looked at him in astonishment as he began to refill his plate as if he hadn't seen his grandson´s mother standing in their foyer looking miserably.

Bonnie hung her head low and tried to keep her eyes dried as a deadly silence fall in the room. She could feel Elijah's eyes on her as well everyone on the table. It was worst that she had imagined. Mikael didn't even give her a second glance; he had just left her standing there like she was no one.

"Please," Esther pleaded at her husband with tears in her eyes. Michael could be so cold but this was downright cruel. "For me, just listen to her."

Elijah looked between his parents and the woman who broke his family apart. She looked just like when he first met her. With her big green eyes and brown curls framing her heart shaped face. Bonnie Bennett was beautiful and in many ways Elijah could see why his brother would throw everything away for her. He still remembered when Kol had surprised him by introducing her first than the rest of her family in a night outing. His little brother was so much in love with the girl that even he had taken a liking to the feisty girl who had achieved to change his brother for the better. But what he could never forgive this woman was tearing his family apart. She had practically bewitched his brother and made him choose between her and them, their blood and flesh. If it wasn't for her his brother would still be alive and sitting and laughing with them, his family, where he belonged. Not buried six feet under at the age of 28.

"How dare you step a foot in this house?" Elijah asked with a barely controlled rage that even Katherine looked surprised. Damn it, living with her in laws was more entertaining than watching a soap-opera she thought peering the soaking wet woman that was once Kol's wife with her brown eyes. She never liked her anyway, so right and judgmental. In Katherine's opinions that were the worst hoes.

Bonnie took a deep breath. "I need to speak with Mr. Mikaelson, is urgent." She tucked her chin up just like her grandmother had taught her.

"Mikael," Esther and her pleading eyes again.

Mikael throw his napkin down and turned to Martha. "Show this woman to the office."

Bonnie released the breath she was holding and followed the lady to the big hall and into the office ignoring the eyes that were burning her back as she walked.

Mikael never thought in a million years that he would have to see this odious woman again. Had she got no shame in her? How dare she set foot on his property as if she wasn't the reason his son was dead. This was probably one of the worst days of his life. The first one being the day Niklaus was born, that child product of his lovely wife´s indiscretions, all in all Mikael had managed to get through that. He had raised the ungrateful boy as if he was his own and had gotten nothing but headaches in return. But what he could never forget was Kol's death. No one should have to go through what he and his wife had to live. Burying a son was unnatural. And Bonnie Bennett was the reason his family was destroyed. She was the cause his youngest son was dead and buried at such a young age. She poisoned his head with ill words against them and had accomplished to tear his family apart. And now she had the bloody balls to appear on his house?

He pushed away from the chair and stood up avoiding Esther's tearful eyes. Sometimes she would look at him as if he was a monster, Mikael snorted, as if she was freed of sins.

He had to keep his anger at bay when he pushed his office's door open and watched his son's widow standing in the middle of the room.

"What do you want?" He went directly to the point. He stood behind his desk as he watched the woman fidgeted with her fingers.

Bonnie opened her mouth and closed it. She didn't know how to start without breaking apart. "My- my son Nathaniel, he was diagnosed with leukemia," She watched Mikael blue eyes closely and further explain. "Cancer in the blood and he needs a transplant. We found a donor who matches his blood type and tissue cells but for the surgery to happen we need 2 million dollars."

"And?"

Bonnie blinked surprised and confused. "What do you mean and?"

"Why are you talking about a boy who I hadn't seen in my life? Why should I care?"

Bonnie shook her head feeling dazed. "Why should you care?" She repeated. "I'm telling you your grandson could die if he doesn't get this transplant and you are telling me why you should care?"

"Exactly. Why should I care when you clearly didn't?" Mikael said observing as the woman began to cry. Oh how little he cared for her crocodile tears. "I was a father too. I had a son who I loved and who you clearly didn't have repairs on taking away from me. And as for that child, I had never seen his face in my life. He is no family."

"You never asked me to see him!" Bonnie said indignant. She wiped her eyes furiously as desperation began to set in her heart.

"Oh so I should be the one to ask you to meet my grandson? I didn't do anything wrong. I was a father who loved his son and who wanted the best for him. My feelings weren't spared when you and that son of mine decided you didn't need anything from us! I can't have a grandson because I don't have a son named Kol."

Bonnie just stood there, flabbergasted. This man was a monster. He had more money than he could spend in ten lives and he still didn't want to help his own flesh and blood. He was willing to let the only thing that he had of Kol just to teach them a lesson.

"We were young! Whe didn't know what we were doing, we-"

"Don't give me that bullshit," Mikael's chuckled was dark. "You and Kol knew very well what you were doing when you turn your back on this family."

"He is going to die!" Bonnie finally cried in desperation. "My son, your grandson Nathaniel, is going to die if I don't get the money for his surgery. I'm begging you to forgive me and Kol for everything. But this is not Nate's fault he is only 6 years old!"

Mikael looked the woman sobbing uncontrollably on the floor. Life was a circle and everything came back to you whenever you wanted it or not.

"Even if I had ten lives I wouldn't give one of them neither to you or your child."

Bonnie's hand went to her mouth. This couldn't be happening.

Chapter End.

A/N: Soooo? I'm not very happy with this chapter but it had been so long and I had a moment to sit and do something that I couldn't wait. Please, tell me how you feel about this, reviews really help me and encourage me. Again thank you so much for your response to the first chapter. Life has been in the middle but now I have vacations (big smile). And of course I hadn't forgotten about Damon. He is a main character in this as well.
