Boundless ✔(A Mikaelson Soulmate Story)

Chapter XLV: Road Bound

When I woke up this time, a week after the full moon, I was in a comfy bed with Kol in front of me and Klaus curled up to my back. Kol has his legs tangled with mine while Klaus had his arms tightly around me, above my belly. I felt protected. Safe. Last week not only filled me with so much energy, but it also made so tired. It was probably just the sudden pregnancy making me tired. Freya had told me it could be a side effect of the transfer.

I laid there for a moment, before I jerked out of their arms and legs, making a run to the bathroom. Everything I had ate last night came up, including some gold dust, which was extremely alarming. I felt a hand stroking my back as another hand came up and held my hair back.

"Are you alright, Love?" Klaus asked, his voice deep from just waking up. I groaned, unable to speak. I whined as more came up, my stomach nearly empty. I was afraid if I kept going a baby would come up. "Come mere, my love." Klaus whispered as I sat back some, Kol appearing in front of me, dabbing a damp cloth to my face and handing me a glass of water. Klaus sat back  and let me lean into him, his hands resting below my belly, drawing small shapes underneath of it. Handing the glass back to Kol, I laid my head back into Klaus. My eyes closed as I was still too tired.

"Are you going to be okay to travel today? We can push it." Kol started, trying to get me to agree. But I shook my head slowly, afraid to move to fast and vomit again.

"N-no. I've put it off enough. Today we go to North Carolina." I told them both. Klaus sighed, his nose in my neck as he inhaled my scent. It was becoming a normal thing. Him and Kol did it often, more so than Elijah and Finn. I pegged it as a calming mechanism, since they both have tempers.

"Are you sure?" Kol asked, "Your brother will still be there, Freya has been tracking him. The Salvatore brothers even looked into him. He's got himself in a small town seemingly for a while. He's got a job and everything. He will still be there when you feel better." He explained. I shook my head again, a little too much since I moved to hover over the toilet again, dry heaving with a bit of gold dust proofing out here and there.

"Is that normal?" Klaus asked. "The dust?" I sat back slightly, narrowing my eyes at him in annoyance.

"I don't know, Klaus. I'm not an Expert on all things Elves." I snapped. Klaus looked at me a bit shocked before I gasped, realizing what I had said. "Oh my- I'm so sorry- I- I didn't mea-" Klaus shook his head, pulling me back into him and pressing kisses to my hair.

"Shh. It's okay, I know." He whispered, his hand now stroking my swollen belly. It was strange, I was about 5months along, but I looked further than that. My stomach making Klaus's t-shirt stretch around it. Klaus pulled me closer, turning me to him so he could lift me up easily, carrying me back to bed. I went to protest but he stopped me. "Rest for now. We'll leave this evening. You need the rest for now. Finn is already making you so bland eggs and a cup of ginger tea to help settle your stomach." Klaus explained to me. I sighed, nodding as I let my head sink into the pillow, Kol coming to sit on the foot of the bed, pulling my feet onto his lap and massaging one at a time. He grinned as I let out a low groan, relaxing into his touch.

I nearly fell back to sleep with Klaus rubbing my belly and Kol massaging my feet, a blanket draped over the majority of my body. Finn came in a moment before my eyes closed, a tray in his hands and a small smile on his lips.

"Good morning, little Elf." He whispered, keeping his voice low to not disturb me. He walked over, bringing the try to set on the bed. Some toast with lots of butter, since he knows I love the stuff, and some bland probably over salted eggs sat on the plate, a mug with what looked to be ginger tea in it on the side and a skinny tall vase with a single sunflower in it. I smiled at him as I tried to sit up, finally succeeding when Klaus helped.

"Where's 'Lijah?" I asked, munching on the toast slowly. If I ate too fast I knew it wouldn't last long.

"He's loading the car up for our trip." Finn informed me. "Apparently the older Salvatore brother has volunteered to come with. Something about experience with wolves." He told me. I let out a small laugh. Ever since Damon told me the story of the Lockwoods, he feels he is the hunter in Little Red Riding Hood. It was our little inside joke we had shared.

"Will it just be us and him?" I asked as I poked at the eggs with the fork provided. They looked good, but my stomach was already twisting and heated from nausea.

"Yes. Freya is hanging back with Rebekah and Danial to look into the whole curse that was put on your father. Hayley and Tyler have left to travel, they wanted to try and find her family or something." Finn explained. I nodded, dropping the fork without eating the eggs and letting my head fall into the pillow again. "You need to eat more. I read that the baby is taking most of your nutrition." I rolled my eyes and looked at him.

"Careful, brother. She's a bit snappy today." Kol spoke up, grinning at the memory of Klaus getting snapped at. Emotion flooded me at Kol's words. Tears pricking my eyes as I looked at him. When he looked to me and saw a tear fall from my eye, his face filled with panic. "No! Don't cry, angel! I didn't mean to upset you." He tried, pushing Klaus off the bed and taking his place next to me, trying to stop my crying.

"I didn't mean to snap at him." I cried, my breathing coming out in slight hiccups.

"Love, please don't cry. It was nothing, I promise." Klaus said after getting up and glaring at Kol, sitting next to him to get to me.

"What did you three do to her?" Elijah asked as he entered the room. I looked up at him with tears flowing from my eyes. Finn got up as Elijah took his place. "Shh." He whispered, pulling me to lay against him. "Whatever it is those three did, it's okay." He whispered. Klaus, Kol and Finn glaring at him.

-

After the whole emotional episode and Elijah ending up sending the other three away, with a lot of protest, he had me lay down with him to rest more. A few hours later, I was woken by Elijah getting up and pulling a loose pair of sweatpants up my legs.

"'Lijah?" I questioned, confused.

"Shh. It's okay, I'm just helping you get ready, if we don't leave now then we won't until tomorrow." He explained. I nodded, as he slid his arm under my legs and the other under my back, my head leaning into his chest as he carried me down the stairs and to the car.

"Am I heavy?" I asked, thinking about how I had put on a lot of weight with the baby now and Finn pushing food on me so much. Elijah looked down at me and smiled.

"Never, Astin. You are light as a feather." He whispered, leaning down and kissing my forehead softly. I smiled back at him as he slid me into the back seat, where Klaus was on the other side, a small pillow and blanket waiting for me.

"Hello again, my love." He whispered as Elijah closed the door and got in the driver seat. Kol was in the passenger seat. My head on Klaus's lap.

"Where's Finn?" I asked, confused and a bit worried he had decided not to come.

"With Damon, love. Relax, its okay." Klaus told me, stroking my hair while playing with it softly. I nodded my head. "Go back to sleep, love. I'll wake you when we get there." He told me. And that's what I did.
