My Light

25

The time from March to June flew by for too quickly for my liking. With balancing helping with the twins, finishing the nursery, helping with Hope, tracking down Esther keeping everyone safe and you know growing a human inside of me I didn't even have time to stress about the birth... but now it's happening. In my families living room. And I was freaking the hell out. 

Partly because Esther was outside trying to get in and partly because there was a baby exiting my body. "Damon I can't I can't" "You have to, she's ready." He said stroking my hair off my face. "No she's safer in there. I... I'm not." "She doesn't care where she's safe, she wants out." "No!" I cried, he held my head to his chest. "KLAUS!" Hayley called maybe he'll be able to calm me "Little busy." He called back as he fought off whatever was happening at the front door. 

"I need a hospital." "You don't... I gave birth to Hope in a church." "And Esther nearly killed her. I won't do it!" "Arabella love... You have to." Klaus tried. "Don't make me." "You need to, for her... You and Damon all of us will protect her. I promise my girl." He said to me holding my hand. 

"Ahhh!" I shout out in pain. "It's going to be okay!" "Klaus a little help!" Kol called. "Go... We have her." Hayley assured. I let go of his hand slowly. And watched him walk away. "Damon." "I'm here. I'm here." He said finding my hand I gripped it tight out of pain and out of fear. "Promise me something." I tell him. He moves to my eye sight. "Promise me you'll choose her over me." "What?" "Promise me Damon! You'll save her." "It's not going to come to that!" "Damon please." "Promise her Damon." Hayley says. "No!" "Damon she's our daughter." "You'r my wife." "You have to promise me." "Damon." Hayley said more urgent. "I promise." He rushed out.

I pushed and screamed as I had another contraction. "There you go... Good." Hayley praised. "I'm scared!" "don't be focus on getting her out safe." "Where's Bonnie?" I asked all of a sudden getting my bearing back. "She's safe, everyone is safe. The twins, Stef, Bon, Elena, Care, Freya all of them are safe... Hope... Hope's with Stef. Okay everyone is accounted for." Damon assures me. I nodded. "Damon?" "Yeah?" "Promise me you'll send me to that place." "We're not talking about you dying." I looked at him. I was so scared, that I was going to give birth and then Esther was going to come in and kill me and my baby and I just. "I promise, I'll take you back tot he car and sing T-swift with you, with our baby in the back, for real! We'll go on all the road trips you want." He tells me. "Elianna." I tell him. "What?" "Her name... EliAnna, after Elijah... Eli (Ellie) for short." He nodded. "Okay, sounds perfect." He tells me kissing my forehead. 

I pushed and pushed and the more I pushed the louder everything was getting from outside. Until it was silent and I heard my little girl cry. "Is she okay?" I asked sitting myself up slightly. "She's perfect." Hayley said coming over to me and laying her in my arms. "Oh my sweet girl." I say looking at her, she already had her fathers eyes, the striking blue. "Hi, baby. It's mummy." I tell her. "And Daddy." I for sure was crying as I looked down at her. 

"Get her out of here." Kol said. "Esther's in." He told me. I held my baby closer to me in attempt to keep her safe. "Wheres Klaus?" I asked. "get her out! Now!" He demanded. "Damon, take her, go." I say passing her to her father. "What are you doing?" He asked as I stood up from the floor. I smoothed my dress out and found my underwear to cover myself. Being a vampire after giving birth best thing ever magically perfectly fine. 

"Protecting her." I say, I kissed her soft forehead. Thankful Hayley wiped her down before handing her to me. She was wrapped in a white blanket, one of Hopes old ones. "No." "Damon, I have to do-" I cut myself seeing Klaus' body being dragged in. "No." I say looking passed Damon at the man that basically became my dad. 150 years of protecting me and trining me and looking after me. He raised my Vampire self. And he was half dead. "It's okay." He breathed out. "No." "Let rip... my girl." He said to me. "Please... Dad please." I say going to him bonding my new life and going to the devil in heels. I didn't care.
