Beauty & the Beast

Labour

I pace around in circles. I don't know what to do. I go into another room. I hate to think about Klaus right now, but I can't help it.
He didn't even have a ring!
But that's just one of the many things wrong with his proposal.
I decide to do the thing I should have done a long time ago.
I call my mum.
"Hello, Caroline," Liz says.
"Mum!" I exclaims and burst into tears.
And so I explain everything. I explain my history with Klaus. All my moments with Klaus. I tell her how I switch my humanity off and how I felt alone. I tell her how Klaus proposed and everything he's every done for me. I tell her about Tyler and how he cheated on me. I apologise for lying for when she was on her business trip she thought I was still in Mystic Falls.
It's time I told my mum the truth for once.
"Oh honey," she says.
"Why didn't you tell me about all of this?" she asks.
"I'm sorry! I don't know, I should have I just-." I don't finish my sentence.
"Do you love Klaus?" She asks.
I hesitate but then tell her the truth.
"I know he has done awful things in the past but, yes. Yes, I love him," I reply.
"Then follow you heart. Think about just you. And now go be there for this Hayley girl, if she's your friend then you should be with her now," Liz adds Liz.
She right! I've been so selfish with Klaus. And it is also about my happiness as well. I can't keep putting myself second. But right now, I'm going to go to Hayley.
"Thank you so much mum. Okay, I got to go see my friend. Bye, love you," I say and hang up the phone.
I don't know where the house is so I run back into the forest. I vamp as fast as I can desperate to find this house. I need everything.
When I get in the forest it is hard to find the house. There is no houses for miles and miles. My heart is banging on my chest and my feet are aching like hell but I don't stop. I'm not just running for Hayley, but also Klaus! I finally know what I want to do.
I focus my ears and listen. I hear faint screaming. It sounds like Hayley. I try to make out which direction
If I pick the wrong choice I might miss the baby and I'll never make it. I close my eyes. My friend is pregnant. She is like a sister to me. And I must find her. I try to think and concentrate really really hard. I decide to vamp North West.
I continue to hear faint noises. I think I am getting close.
Then finally, I come across a house. The noises I heard are much louder and I think I am finally here.
Desperately, I knock on the house.
A lady opens the door.
"Sorry bad time," the woman dismisses. She tries to shut the door.
"Wait- shes with us," Kol says.
I smile and the women finally invites me in.
Hayley is still screaming. I feel awful for her.
I go into the room to see Hayley. Elijah and Rebekah and Jackson's mum are with her.
"How are you doing?" I ask.
"It HURRRRRRRTS!" She screams.
"5 more minutes of pain, for a lifetime of happiness," Elijah says holding her hand.
I decide to give them some privacy.
Her contractions are getting faster. The baby is almost here. In another room, Klaus and Kol are sitting down. I join them on the sofa. I take a seat next to Klaus. I can't bring our relationship up now. As much as I want to, I can't.
All I can do now is just be there for Klaus. That's just what he needs.
Someone to be there for him.
Klaus takes takes my hand and gives me a hug.
"I'm sorry," he whispers.
I nod. A tear comes across my face. He knows I accept his apology. I don't need to say anything. We sit in silence for 10 minutes. His hand still in mine.
"One more push!" I hear Jackson's
nan (whose a wolf) says.
"I can't, no I can't," Hayley says in tears. She's in agony, I hate it.
Then I hear the loudest scream I have ever heard before.
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
I shudder. Then we all stand up.
Moments later, we hear the sound of a baby crying.
We all gasp and run to the room.
Oh my gosh! It's a baby girl.
We go inside to check on Hayley and the baby.
"How do you feel?" Klaus asks.
Hayley nods with the baby in her arms.
"I'm okay," she says
"she's beautiful," Elijah adds kissing Hayley on the forehead.
"She really is," Rebekah and Kol say.
"What's her name?" Klaus asks.
"Faith! Her name is Faith." Hayley says.
"Faith Andreea Mikaelson," Elijah says smiling.
Later on this evening, most of us are back at the Mansion. Elijah, Hayley and Faith stayed at Jackson's grandmothers house.
I see Klaus at a bedroom balcony
"Can I talk to you for a second?" I finally ask.
He nods.
