B for Baby (you're pregnant and something happens)
Warnings: pregnancy problems, major angst.
The weight of the silence was heavy in yours and Klaus' shoulders, you didn't thought you could hold back the tears for much longer. There was another "tick" from the clock, meaning that another second had passed without the doctor looking up at you. You felt your boyfriend's hand, the one that wasn't holding yours, stroking your round stomach, yet you didn't feel the usual peace that brought you.
Your pregnancy hadn't been normal. Since the beginning, everyone was worried about the human pregnant with the original's baby. Not only there was a huge risk of a lot of enemies killing you because of Klaus, but also the fact that your human body was not meant to hold such a powerful baby. So, after six months of painful days and restless nights, you and Klaus had decided to follow Rebekha's advice and visit a doctor who was an expert in supernatural matters. After all, the size of your belly wasn't normal.
"Well?" Klaus asked a minute later, tired of not knowing if something was wrong. The man, who was wearing a ridiculous suit with a shiny bow, had been looking at your results for nearly ten minutes, not looking up from the papers. "Are you going to tell us something or should we come back in another century?"
The doctor rolled his eyes, giving you a tired look before placing his glasses on the table.
"I don't know what you want me to say, everything is here. It was obvious what was going to happen the moment she got pregnant with your seed, do I have to explain you how?" he said, a lazy look on his eyes, like he did that every day of his life. "The baby is already a vampire, and a werewolf. He's getting the blood and everything he needs from his mother. If he was only a vampire, or a werewolf, she could have given it to him. But being both, well, we all know what happens now."
Your eyes widened for a different reason Klaus' did. You were having a boy. A little boy with his little nose, probably Klaus' eyes and your hair. A smile grew on your face without you noticing it.
"What do you mean, we all know what happens now?!" Klaus hit the desk with his fist, making everything shake. "We fucking came here looking for a solution! There must be a way to fix it!"
"Of course, killing the baby before he kill the mother."
The table flew to the wall and Klaus pinned the doctor against the window, showing him the dark veins under his eyes and his sharp teeth. Still, the man didn't show fear. He looked at him dead in the eyes and spoke again.
"I would advise you to put me down, Mr Mikaelson. Otherwise, I might have to hurt you."
"Klaus, please"
You knew he wanted to smash his head against the window, but you also knew that he was a powerful witch who wouldn't have problems in killing Klaus. The vampire huffed and let the doctor down, mumbling under his breath until he sat again beside you. Klaus took your hand back, and kissed it.
When the doctor was back on his chair and the table was put back on his place by an invisible force, you decided to talk.
"We... we have already decided we're not going to get rid of the baby. I think that, what my boyfriend tries to say, is that we came here for a solution. Or to know if there is a possibility of keeping the baby alive until he's ready to born." You tasted the gender of your little bundle of life for the first time, and let out a sad chuckle. "He, Klaus. It's a boy, it's going to be a little baby boy."
Klaus didn't laugh or smile, just looked at you with the same expression he had kept since you had told him there was no way you were giving up the baby. That morning you had your worst argument since you decided to keep it; you had talked a lot about it, since Klaus didn't care to sacrifice the life of his future son to keep yours.
That morning, you had told him that it was your body and your decision, and that you wanted to give birth, even if it costed your life. Klaus was not ready to let you go.
"And if I turned her? Would it make any difference?" Klaus eyes shinned with hope, as he put his elbows on the desk.
"Being turned means dying and rebirthing as a different thing" the doctor explained. "That means that her body would stop working, and the child won't survive that. I'm-I'm really sorry to tell you this, but there is no other options, it's her or the baby."
Klaus' eyes filled with tears, and he tried to blink them back. In the six years he had known you, the possibility of loosing you was impossible. He had always made sure nothing bad came your way, or that his problems affected you. You were his human part, the only thing that linked him to Earth.
Thoughts about the day you met or your first kiss crossed his mind. He remembered every time you had made him laugh so hard that his stomach hurt, or all the times you two had just laid in the couch with expensive wine and interesting books. The memory of your excited face when you discovered that you were pregnant, not knowing it was your death sentence, made the first tear roll down his cheek.
The doctor coughed awkwardly, and shifted on his seat.
"We will be going now" you gave him a small smile, and in a second Klaus was helping you up. You put your hands on your belly, your knees nearly giving up because of your frail health. "It was a pleasure, and thank you so much. We really appreciate you having us with such a hurry."
In a way, the doctor wished he could have done something else. It was not the first time he had had to deal with a pregnant human, yet none of them had such a determination on their faces. He watched as you turned your pale face towards the door, and walked with the help of Klaus. It was a strange sight seeing an original in love, even more seeing him crying for it.
But it was too late.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Klaus heard the baby crying, and he really wished he would have died in the birth. He had been crying for hours nonstop, maybe even for days; he didn't know. Rebekah had taken his son out of the room before Klaus could have done something he would later regret, and he had stayed by your side. He held your hand as you screamed and cried, kissed your forehead when your son broke your pelvis and sobbed against your neck until you gave him a last smile.
His brother had pleaded him to leave your room, at least while the kind woman fixed you up for the funeral. Still, all Elijah got was a broken neck and more screams and tears. Klaus was by your side as the woman stitched you whole again, your lower regions that had been cut because of the baby fixed up. She covered the bruises on your sides, stomach and back from the hard kicks of his son, and cleaned the blood that coated the sheets under your cold body.
Everyone that had been in that room, erased the image of your broken body, yet Klaus couldn't. He couldn't look at his son without thinking about how you gave your life because of him, how you died between sobs and terrible pains so that he could have a life. Of course he blamed himself, after all, he was the one who insisted in not taking protection. And he would have to live with that burden forever.
There was a time when Elena asked Elijah how could Klaus do all the things he did, kill all the people he killed without feeling bad. Elijah told her that his brother had lost the last piece of his mind with the only woman he ever loved.
"She was the one who died yet his heart was the stopped one. Once his love disappeared, nothing moved it."
