It was going to take more than a desperate airhead hitting on Pierre to break Lena and Pierre up. Well, the desperate airhead bit was a little harsh. The women didn’t know Pierre was married, nor did Pierre. Kena had to accept the fact no one was to blame in the situation. Her existence had been wiped from her husband’s mind. The one piece of saving grace was that he did remember her, proving to her their love was much stronger than the Ghost Riders abilities. Not many couples could say that. Some people would sit in that station for eternity, forever forgotten by their husband or wife. But not Lena. It would take more than that to erase over a hundred sixty years of marriage. But since coming back to Mystic Falls she couldn’t stop thinking about Julian and Teddy. She didn’t reach out to them immediately. They needed some time together, just the two of them. But the more she saw Pierre struggle with how he forgot his wife she thought about Teddy and the pain he must be feeling about forgetting his son. They’d gone through the agony of searching for their missing son, so she knew how it felt to have a piece of you missing. With Baxter it felt like a limb had been severed from her body. Unfortunately that feeling didn’t disappear when they found their son because he was technically dead. It introduced her to a whole new world of pain. They failed to keep their son safe, which was meant to be on their top priority list. No doubt Teddy was experiencing the same pain. Julian didn’t really explain what Teddy did as such, but Lena managed to put the pieces together. He said his dad looked after people once they’d gone to heaven. He made sure they had a nice place to sleep. At first she checked the undertakers in town, but none of them were Teddy so her next stop was the graveyard. His name was listed under groundskeeper. Graveyards were always creepy as hell, even in the day. Everything was so silent and eerie. But Lena brushed off the creepy vibes as she stepped through the gates. Julian had given her a very brief description of his dad. A man with curly brown hair that bounced when he got annoyed or frustrated. Her eyes searched the area looking for someone who didn’t look like they weren’t mourning the dead. Eventually she spotted a man with brown curly hair tending to a grave. She headed over in his direction, “Um… Teddy?” She smiled warmly at him, her hand extending to shake his, “I’m Lena. Your son, Julian. He with me inside the station.” Some days it felt like she had spent years locked inside there watching the broken clock tick by on the wall. Pierre wasn’t even sure how long she’d been gone. It could have been weeks or even months. “I wanted to check up on you… make sure you both okay. How you been?”TEDDY AARONSON |

 ━ i started to dream again ━
He straightened up in front of the grave he was working on and wiped his brow, then promptly realized he’d smeared dirt across his forehead. Teddy puffed out a breath and pulled off one glove, then wiped at it with the other.
A voice came out of nowhere, and Teddy had to suppress the urge to jump as he turned, his now-dirtless brow furrowing at the woman. She knew his name, but he’d never met her before. Did they have a new employee working now? No, surely he would’ve met her first━would’ve been informed he was training someone new today. She wasn’t in the right clothes, either.
Teddy puffed out a breath at her explanation, feeling it like a hammer blow to the chest. Lena. Right. The woman who’d taken care of his son when he couldn’t━when he was busy not knowing Julian existed. “Oh, wow.” Teddy stumbled over his words after a moment, like he’d finally remembered how to talk. “Yes, Lena, right. Of course. Um, thank you… for that.” He took a step forward, wiping his bare hand on his shirt before offering it to her awkwardly. He wasn’t sure what he was supposed to do in this situation, but people here always shook hands. Or was that only men? Shit.
She wanted to check up on him? Not Julian? She’d said both of them, of course, but she was at his workplace━for him. Naturally, the urge to protect his family’s privacy rose, but Lena… she could be trusted. She was probably a better parent to Julian than Teddy had ever been.
“I’m━it’s been alright.” He nodded quickly, “I’m trying to get used to having him back again. It’s a good thing I didn’t throw out all of his toys.” Teddy chuckled like he was forcing it out, and it died off as his gaze began to droop. “I feel bad━like I have to make up for lost time with him. He’s recovering well, though, happy to be back in school.” Teddy tried to swing back into something nicer, more positive, just so she didn’t think he was completely terrible at being a father.

Before even setting eyes on Teddy she felt like she already knew him. As though he wasn’t a stranger to her. She knew a lot about him. His favourite TV show, the layout of his apartment and how he struggled to stay awake past 10pm. She also knew about his dead wife. All of this was courtesy of Julian. They didn’t discuss his mom immediately, but eventually Julian opened up to her about his mom and Lena found herself talking about Mako. She held back on the grizzle details about how he died and how she killed everyone involved. Lena told Julian his mom would be watching over him somewhere and she would be proud of the person he was growing into. Sometimes she caught glimpses of Baxter in Julian and it eased the pain of missing her son. Being without Pierre and Baxter left her feeling lost. She missed them so much it burned through her heart, but she never got emotional about the situation. If she started to cry then Julian would too. Who knows who would have scooped Julian up if she hadn’t. Maybe that weird woman who was staring at them a little too much or maybe another mother who found herself stuck. Lena’s gaze flickered down to his hand for a moment. She reached out, shaking it firmly just like her father taught her. A firm handshake was what helped her when she disguised herself as a man, although her superhuman strength certainly helped with that aspect. Sadness came over her when Teddy’s gaze dropped, his forced laughter dying out. Pierre was crippled with guilt about forgetting Lena. She imagined it was a lot worse when you forget your own kid. “No. You must not feel bad. These ghost riders are very powerful. They have been doing this for centuries.” It was the same thing she’d said to Pierre. “You should be proud you remember your son. Most people don’t remember.” Forever forgotten and disappearing in the abyss. Lena and Julian could have easily been one of those people. “My husband and I have been married for over hundred and fifty years and he forget me too… even when the pile of dirty clothes in front of the washer did not get clean he didn’t realised I’d gone.” She chuckled quietly, “Now he has some pink boxers because he forget to remove red socks.” If Lena had been there she would have reminded him to take all his red socks out of the white wash. The smile faded from her face though, “Julian doesn’t blame you Teddy. He understands what happened and it wasn’t your fault.” Although she still blamed herself for what happened to Baxter, even though they couldn’t have stopped it. TEDDY AARONSON |

“I know.” Teddy said softly, though he hung his head. He’d learned about the ghost riders since Julian’s return━only a bit━but it was enough to realize that their magic was old and powerful. There was nothing he could do to stop it. Still, as a father, it felt like he should’ve.
His head snapped up again when she mentioned the length of time her and her husband had been married. His eyes nearly popped out of his head. Teddy supposed it made sense that she was supernatural, he just hadn’t considered the details of what that might entail. “One hundred and fifty years?” He croaked, “Do you mind… sorry if this is a rude question, but do you mind if I ask what… species you are?”
Finally, her joke permeated his brain, and Teddy managed to chuckle lightly━for real this time. It didn’t last long, of course, but it wasn’t cut off like the one from before. She went on, still trying to make him feel better, but Teddy couldn’t manage to swallow the knot in his throat.
“Maybe.” He sighed. Julian was more emotionally mature than a lot of other six-year-olds, but he was still just a little kid. “But I’m sure it still hurts. And, at least for now, he’ll always remember that I forgot him. He’ll remember speaking to me through that radio and hearing his father say he didn’t have a son, and that he didn’t know who he was. I can’t… imagine how awful that must feel. Or how scared he might be that he’ll lose me again.” Teddy squeezed his eyes shut as his head dropped once more, his bare hand coming up to wipe his eyes. “I can’t take his pain or fear away, and that might be the worst part.” As a mother, she’d know what he meant━could relate to the helplessness of being a parent and watching life inflict your child. It was necessary to make them stronger, more resilient people━he knew that━but this? It was past the line. No child should ever have to experience what Julian had.

Lena watched Teddy with understanding eyes, her heart aching for him and the pain he felt. She knew all too well the anguish of being unable to shield your child from suffering. It was something she and Pierre would be doing forever. Even when Baxter was five hundred years old, they’d be looking at him like a sweet innocent child who needed their protection. Her own experiences had shown her that some wounds cut so deep they left permanent scars. There was a flicker of a smile on her face at his reaction. Over half a century she’d been with Pierre, yet it felt like they only met yesterday. The time had completely flown by and there wasn’t a single day she didn’t wake up grateful to have someone so incredible as Pierre in her life. “We marry in eighteen sixty three.” She stated proudly. “I’m a Kitsune, if you have heard of us? Each of us have abilities unique to us. I generate and control wind. My mom has control over time.” There was another flash of a smile as she spoke about her mom. Lena witnessed the sadness that washed over Julian’s face when he realised his dad didn’t know who he was. No matter how much Lena had prepared him for that, it still upset him. She held onto that memory for herself though. Teddy was already giving himself a hard enough time about something completely out of his control. “Julian is a smart kid. He know you did not choose to forget him. He will need some time to heal. Those memories he has will be overshadow by new memories you create together.” As she watched Teddy wipe away the tears from his eyes she was struggling to fight back her own, “I know how you feel though. My son was turned into a vampire recently and me and my husband feel we have failed him. We have to watch him struggle with his new life… his curse.” Because that’s the only way she could describe it. TEDDY AARONSON |
