Emilia knew she had made the right choice. It might not feel like it, at night and in the mornings when she was in bed alone and when she had passed Olivia Parker in the street, but it was. Always and forever; she didn’t have to be a Mikaelson to live by it, not when she was raised by one and her mother was partnered to another. Vincent got to know his cousins and his family and that was great, good for him, even. But she knew that he missed his dad and the outbursts he was having were proof of that; Emilia could handle it, and she didn’t blame him, but it was still hard. She missed him too but they had made their choices. Isiah didn’t want to leave New Orleans, and she understood that. So when she opened the door and saw him standing there, all things (Mystic Falls, mostly) considered, for a split second Emilia thought she was seeing something. “You’re here.” She blinked in surprise before her eyes raked over him out of instinct; it happened every time she saw Vincent or Alison too; a habit brought on from being raised by a paranoid hybrid and the nature of their lives. “You look okay, so wh - why didn’t I know you were coming here?”

“Because I wanted it to be a surprise,” he admitted as he stuffed his hands into his pockets rocking backwards onto to the heel of his feet. “I figured I’m the one losing out by being afraid to let her in. I’m losing the woman I love and my son. And for what?” He asked even if he knew the answer. Fuck. He knew he had messed up the second they walked out of his life. “I understand if I’m too late for you. I should have never once let my own fears get in the way of us. But I can’t not be here for Vincent. He deserves better than that.” Isaiah knew he was never going to forgive himself if his son ever felt like he wasn’t enough just because he hadn’t come with them right away. Staying in New Orleans wasn’t a get out of jail free card for him being a dad, and if his son ever thought it was he wasn’t sure there was any coming back from that. “If I have to I’ll find a place nearby and we’ll figure it out, Emilia. But I need my family. And if that means I get to know the woman who’s partly my DNA it is what it is. I’m not going anywhere though.”

Isiah still wasn’t entire certain that coming to Mystic Falls was the right plan, but all he was aware of was the fact that something felt empty in his life without his son or Emilia. So if choosing them over a city was what it took then he was going to choose them every single time. He just tried to forget that it meant also running into the woman that shared his DNA, or any potential siblings. His hand was shaking as he reached up to knock on the door hoping that Emilia wasn’t too angry with him for not following the moment she decided to leave.
