Chapter 30.

The next day I wake up with a message on my desk:

<<Would you like to join me in the bayou?

                                                                   -Klaus>>

What?

Despite all, I decide to go. I'm curiuos about it.

I go to do breakfast and then I exit.

"Hope... Don't you forget anything? Today is Thursday..." Reminds me my uncle Elijah.

"Oh...Yes! Thanks" I smile going to take the rucksack he's holding in his hand.

"Have a nice day" He smiles.

"You too. How is mum?" 

"She's fine, don't you worry"

"Today I'm going to her" I say.

"They'll be waiting fot you. Another thing..." I look at him. "Don't be angry with Mrs Forbes. You don't need to listen what you know yet, and what you've saied to her, am I right?" He continues, alludying to the fact I'm the first girl to him.

"No" I smile.

"So... You don't need for sure to do those scenes anymore, am I right?"

"You are" I nod, sure of what I'm saying.

 "Never question love your family can give you. Or,  better, if you want to do it, but then let us show you what you represent for us. What anyone represents for each other. We're a family, and family comes above all for all"  

"You're right. Thanks" 

"Of what..." He caresses me.

After a while of silence, he continues:"What do you think about... Erik?" He smiles very embarassed. "I start excusing myself. We had to tell them, but we didn't know she wanted to, and I'm assure she will understand her actions" 

"Thanks. I'd like do the same, but I think you wouldn't allow me to do that..." I smile. "Despite all, I love the new! Seriously, I'm very excited about that! I can't wait to meet him" 

"Me too" He lets slip.

"Are you scared about it?" I ask.

"I'm worried about what could happen now, about Hayley. I mean, how she's going to be? Was she prepared to that? Did she want another baby?" He looks at me. "I'm sorry..."

"No..." I smile. "I love that! Seriously, I love the fact you are talking with me about that"

"I usually don't do that. Never... And never in this way, this isn't me, I..."

"Uncle, it's okay!" I exclaim laughing. "Yes that's you! And it's okay to show feelings and emotions! What want to teach this baby?"

"Honour, the importance of family. Love, care about something, protect people you love and to not let them go away... "

"What about dreaming?" I porpouse. "Don't be scared of want something, and imagine it, and the way he could get it. Then act..."

"...And don't give up" He completes my sentence.

"And when nobody seems to be by your side, turn around and look at us" 

"...We'll be one step away from you" He do it again.

"Yes!" I smile. 

"Thanks, Hope"

"Of what?" I hugh him, and we continue going to school, where Caroline is attending us.

When she sees Elijah, her face change expression from waiting to disappointing. We greet her, and I greet my uncle before enter, while they remains to talk.

"Hope!" Smiles Lizzie.

"Hi!"

"Why were you at home? Don't you turn back only in weekends?" Asks Josie.

"Hi to yoo!" I laugh. "Yes, but this is a special moment, and I'd like to spend it with them how much I can"

"You're right. You have to. I'm so happy to you! Congratulazions!! And one day you'll have to present me him!" Exclaims Lizzie.

"Yes, the day you'll come to see him. End. He's my cousin, stop other thinks!" I joke. 

"You're so possessive!" She backs the game.

"Yes, I am"

"What are you?" Smiles Landon coming.

"Hi!" I hug him. "I'm too possessive with people I care" I laugh. "But I really care few people, so... If am I not possessive with them, with who should I be?" 

"I see no errors in that sentence" Says him ironically.

"You're so sweet" I reply in the same way, going in class.

While I am doing lesson, I listened some voices.

Kill the baby

He will be too strong

I try to understand from where they could come, but nobody is talking eccept the teacher.

The baby... Can't live.

"Mrs Mikaelson? Mrs Mikaelson?" 

The baby! Pay attention!

"I'm sorry... May I exit?" I ask.

"Sure... Is everything alright?"

"Yes, sure. Thanks Miss" I exit, going immediatly to Dr Saltzmans's office.

I knock.

"Can I enter?" I ask.

He's not there.

The voices make themselves stronger. I have an headache.

I take the phone and I call my dad.

"Hope... Are you okay?"

"No...Please, come. I don't know what... The baby!    

Dad, please help me! I don't understand... He's in danger"

"I'm on my way. Don't worry sweetheart, I'm coming" He says before close the call.
