Warnings: Being nervous for a medical procedure, that's about it in this one.
_____
Your nerves were everywhere. It was normal to feel nervous before any medical procedure, but you felt like your nerves had taken a mind of their own. It didn't help that those nerves were currently fueling the 'what ifs' currently playing though your head. If anything, your nerves were at its worse since your scheduled surgery was only moments away.
"Relax, Love." Klaus's voice filled your ears. "I can practically hear the thoughts being created in that head of yours."
With all the thinking you had just been doing, you had forgotten the few people sitting in the room with you. Klaus's voice had actually caused you to jump slightly as you turned to look at him. A small chuckle left Klaus as he grabbed a hold of your hand and squeezed gently.
"It's going to be fine, love." Klaus said reassuringly as he leaned forward and placed a kiss to your cheek.
A smile formed on your lips as he had done so. It was a momentary distraction from the nerves. "I'm freaking out slightly." You admitted with a nod of your head. "What if something goes wrong?"
"If that is what you believe, I will gladly take you out of this place this instant." Klaus offered even though he knew this was something you needed to go through with.
"You are working yourself up over nothing." Rebekah noted from her seat at the foot of your hospital bed. "Though why you'd rather go through the medical route than some good old fashioned vampire blood still surprises me."
"We talked about this Bex." You said with a small smile pulling at your lips. Even though you had been thrown into the world of the supernatural by accident, you still wanted to live through a lot more human moments. And if a surgery such as this one wasn't mundane enough, you don't know what else is.
Rebekah rolled her eyes playfully. "I know. If anything, I'm actually the sibling that understands this a lot more than the others." She wasn't lying. Rebekah always helped you indulge in the more human moments when Klaus couldn't be there in that moment or it was more of a girl bonding thing.
The fact that you were with Klaus Mikaelson still amazed you. Even now as he sat there beside your hospital bed, putting everything else on the back burner to sit with you had been something you never expected to see. He had made it clear from the moment you had checked in that he wasn't going to be leaving your side. There could be a faction plotting against him and in that moment he didn't care.
The sound of several helium balloons hitting the entryway to the room had caused you all to look towards the door. Kol had several balloons wrapped around the palm of his hand, that looked like it belonged in a carnival with how many he had, while carrying an over sized teddy bear that he clearly couldn't see past.
"I brought these for when Y/N gets outs of surgery her room can be filled with these." The words had caused you to laugh seeing him.
"She hasn't gone into surgery yet, you idiot." Rebekah said as she stood up to help her brother with the items.
"She's not?" Kol asked as he handed Rebekah the bear. His head turned towards the bed seeing you laying there. "Well um, surprise than?"
Another laugh passed your lips and you couldn't help but shake your head. "I love it Kol." You said with a smile. "These will be nice to see once I return to the room."
Elijah had followed behind the trail of Balloons that had continued to make its way into the room as Kol moved to the back corner of the room. There was annoyed look on his face at the mess his brother had brought in before coming to stand next the bed.
"How are you feeling?" He asked giving you a small smile.
"You mean besides a nervous mess?" You asked with a chuckle.
"Has my brother already offered to take you away against medical advice?" There was humor in his question that caused you and Rebekah to laugh while Klaus scoffed.
"Yes and I've already declined twice." You noted as you looked over and gave Klaus a smile.
"Now the better question is has he left your side to compel the staff?" Kol asked as finished tying the balloons onto the leg of a table.
"No," you chuckled. "But he has been hovering over the staff when they come in to check on me."
"Is it such a crime that I want to make sure you have the best care?" Klaus asked with a slight pout. If he could have, he would have compelled every doctor to be in the operating room just to be sure that things went as smoothly as needed.
A knock on the door followed by a 'woah' had caused all of you to turn your attention towards the door. The doctor stood there looking at the balloons.
"Now that is the most I've seen in a hospital room." He noted out loud before turning his attention towards you. "I can feel the support in this room."
"The best support system I got." You said with a smile as your hand tightened around Klaus's hand.
"Well, its time to get you prepped. The OR is ready for you." The doctor said with a nod just as a few nurses came in to get your bed ready for moving.
"I'll be by your side the moment you get out." Klaus said as he stood up. He leaned down and kissed you softly.
"If you aren't I'm having Elijah kick your ass." That had everyone in the room laughing.
"That'd be my entertainment." Elijah said with a smirk.
"I'd like to see you try." Klaus said with a roll of his eyes.
You shook your head slightly as you began to feel the bed move. It was because of the people in that room that the nerves that had been going crazy earlier had died down. While there were some nerves, you knew you'd be okay.
You definitely looked forward to hearing the stories the Mikaelsons would be saying about Klaus during your time away.
