𝑳𝑶𝑺𝑻 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬
𝑩𝑬𝑳𝑳𝑬 nervously paced in front of Alora's room trying to figure out what to say to her first. After a few more minutes of pacing, she turned and faced the door ready to raise her fist and knock, but the door was suddenly opened.
Alora stood in front of her mother with teary eyes. ''Oh honey.'' she walked through the threshold and closed the door before leading her daughter towards the bed and embracing her into a hug.
Being in the comfort of her mother was enough for her to completely break down into sobs ''He doesn't get to come back after what he did. After he cheated on you and left he doesn't get to come back with his daughter to enroll her in the school. That's not fair.''
Isabelle couldn't help ut let a tear slip as she listened to her daughter. ''I know baby. I know.'' She cradled her daughter closer to her chest while whispering comforting things as she sobbed even harder.
After a while, Alora fell with her head on Belle's chest so she carefully moved her head and left the room in search of Jace. She eventually got to his room and knocked on the room. When she received no answer she decided to knock again.
No answer.
So using her vamp hearing she listened in for any sound coming from the room and when she heard none she turned around and made her way towards the back of the school to where she was positive he would be.

When Jace saw Klaus and his daughter in his mom's office the first thing he wanted was to tear their hearts out of their chest. He couldn't understand why out of all the places they could go to they chose to come back to Mystic Falls where his mother still lived and it made him angry. So when his mother told them to go to their rooms he went to the back of the school where he knew he could shift and blow off some steam.
Once at his destination he shifted and took off running. He came back around two hours later to be met with his mother as she stared down at his wolf form. She handed him his clothes and he ran off to change into them.
''I know what you're going to say, Jace,'' Belle said when she saw Jace open his mouth to say something.
''Oh yeah what was I going to'' He said before Belle interrupted him.
''I'm you don't need to worry about me you should talk to Alora she seems more torn than me.'' Belle recited exactly what Jace was going to say making him stare at her with a surprised expression.
''Ok maybe I was going to say that but everything is fine.'' When he saw the expression on his mom's face he sighed. ''I mean it mom I'm fine there's nothing to worry about.''
Lie
''Jace your not fine. You know it and I know it.'' Belle watched as Jace started to tear up no matter how much he tried to hide it. '' You can talk to me J.'' She said more softly.
He rushed into his mother's embrace and finally started to let the tears fall. ''I've waited 18 years for him to suddenly come back and say that he wants to get to know us and build a relationship and when he finally does come back it's to enroll his daughter into the school that you work at.'' As Jace talked Belle just couldn't help the guilty feeling she got.
''I'm so sorry Jace. Maybe if I would have put my feelings aside and tried harder to get in touch with him then you and Alora would be able to get to know him.''
''None of this is your fault mom. You tried contacting Klaus and he never answered no matter how much you called.'' Jace spoke trying to give his mother a sense of comfort.
*****
Belle was at least 4 months into her pregnancy at this point and she has yet to recover from the heartbreak she experienced when she was with Klaus. As she sat on the couch next to Stefan she started to feel guilty for not telling Klaus about her pregnancy, So she turned to Stefan who had his eyes shut.
''Stefan,'' Belle mumbled softly.
''Mhmm.'' He hummed too lazy to open his mouth to give a proper response.
''I think I should call him.'' Hearing those words Stefan's eyes snapped open and his lips parted in shock.
''Why would you want to call him Belle I tough you told him not to contact you.'' Stefan looked at Belle his eyes full of confusion.
Rolling her eyes Belle suddenly got annoyed with him and said ''I know what I said Stafn I was there.'' She immediately felt flooded with guilt at snapping at him like that.
Slightly raising his hands in the air he said ''Hey I'm not attacking you here. I mean if you think calling him is the right thing to do then go for it. I'll be right here with you.''
Feeling tears well up in her eyes Belle used the sleeve of her sweater to wipe away her tears before pulling out her phone and dialling Klaus's number. She patiently waited for an answer but received nothing. So she decided to call again.
No answer.
Deciding to try one last time Belle dialled the number again and watched as it rang and to her surprise, he picked up. Belle quickly picked up the phone that was resting on the couch and brought it to her ear.
''Klaus.''
Nothing.
''Look Klaus I know we didn't end on the best terms but there's something need to tell you. I'm-''
Before she could continue the phone suddenly cut off leaving her with complete silence. She looked towards Stefan who looked at her with a look of pity. Not what she needed right now. But before he could say anything Belle was already out of the house.
*****
Later on that day Belle replayed Jace's words and concluded that none of this was her fault. It was Klaus's. He cheated on her with her best friend. And then never answered his calls when s he tried to tell him that she was pregnant with his kids. So no, she wasn't going to blame herself any longer because none of this was her fault.
