My Light

22

"DAMON!" I hear my name being called from upstairs. So my pregnant wife, not so fun to be around. She's in a lot of pain. She's throwing up everything she ingests, blood, food, water. Anything that goes in comes out. 

"STEFAN!" And Caroline is 30times worse but she's not ill or in pain she's just Caroline. "How long do you think we can ignore them for before they try and kill us?" Stefan asked me. "5 more seconds." I answer. "Dee?" Elle says coming into the kitchen. "You should be in bed." I say getting up to help her to a seat, she looked super weak. "Caroline keeps shouting. I have been considering suffocating her with my pillow for the pass 45 minutes." She says. "I did shout you to help me down but you were busy." She says referring to a minute ago when she called for me. I felt bad because I ignored her.

"I'm sorry, I was talking to Stef." "It's okay." She said with a small smile. "Could you get me a bag?" She asked. "Yeah of course." I quickly got her one and she sipped it slowly and with caution. "I can't wait to start feeling better." I rubbed her back, the pregnancy was so hard on her body because well she was technically dead, and she hadn't had blood in 10 months, and she was only meant to not have it for a max of three months. She was starting to get her magic back slowly so we knew her body was healing but it took a lot out of her to make sure this magical creature she was growing was safe. 

"When are you going to the doctor again?" Stefan asked still ignoring his wife. "Next week." I smiled, the last appointment we had seeing the little life on the screen blew my mind. I lay in bed at night when Elle is asleep and I just listen to it's tiny heartbeat, it went so fast. It's comforting to know that they're okay. "STEFAN!" "Please, please answer her because you won't have a wife in the morning if she keeps shouting." Bella says urgently snapping after listening to her shouting. "Don't make me." He begged. 

"You're lucky we're even staying here." I tell him. Me and Elle are staying with Stef and Care at the boarding house whilst our house, the Manor gets renovated again. Everything is being baby proofed. Do you know how dangerous everything is? And also the nursery and play room are being done up too and the noise wasn't easy for Elle to rest plus she keeps wanting to help so If I just keep her out of the house. "STEFAN!" "CAROLINE SHUT UP!" She shouted. "I can't. I can't stay here another night." "Bell." "No, we're going home." I sighed. 

Caroline was a lot to deal with. 

Whilst Bella went up to our room to pack. Stefan went to check on Care leaving me alone so I called Klaus.

"Hi?" "Is Ari okay?" "Yeah, she actually kept some blood down just now." "Thats an improvement." "Yeah." I nodded despite him not being able to see me. "What's the matter then?" "She wants to go home." "Absolutely not, it's not healthy for her to be around the fumes." "I know that... So Can we stay with you for a few days?" 

KLAUS' POV

Finally. Finally she'll be where I can keep an eye on her. I can protect her. Like I should have been doing. "Yes, I'll have her room prepared." It was already prepared. Her belongs from New Orleans out and in their places. "Thank you..." "I'd rather have her home with me than at the house whilst building is happening." "I agree." I nodded.

"Hayley!" I called out when I hung up with Damon. "In Hope's room!" She called back. I walked through and saw her sat on the floor playing with our daughter. "Arabella and Damon will be staying with us." "That'll be nice." "Yes..." "Klaus don't hover over her." "I don't hover." "You do... She's pregnant and she's stressed." "And she's sick, she needs to be watched over." "And that is the job for her husband." "I watched over you." I say as a matter of fact. "You're hopes dad, you had a reason." "And I'm hers." "You're not." "I've been her guider since she was 24 years old." "I know... But if she needs you she'll come to you."
