GOING BACK.

CHAPTER 17.

12 MONTHS LATER

Hayley was lying on the bed curled around her 3 Month old baby boy watching him as he feed from her hungrily with a smile on her wide lips, thinking he was so much like Klaus, his looks and moods, making her laugh at times and finding it so interesting how the inherited genes of them both showed in both their Children and she looked up when the door opened seeing her beautiful Hope who came and lay down on the otherside of Henrik kissing his head and she looked at her Mom her smile wide and happy,

"What is it?" Hayley asked sensing Hope's joy and excitement.

"I'm pregnant," Hope said softly her voice light, her smile wider, and Hayley put a hand to Hope's cheek.

"Congratulations I can see how happy you are about this."

"You made it look so easy I have nothing to fear even in this time and I know being a Mother or Parent isn't easy but I want this, which is weird because I thought it would be a long time in the future back in our own time before I would have kids, but being here in this time it seems right to have a child now, life is so slow here, do you find that Mom?"

"I do, a day feels like a week here compared to the future, it is the perfect time and safe for us at least to have children there are few enemies, the family is settled Mikael is unaware we are here we could let the Century tick away in our own world here, it is kind of nice without all the drama," Hayley confessed, "Is Raf excited about the baby?" Hayley asked.

"Oh yeah ecstatic, we are going to see his Dad Tonight at the Wolf Village and tell him, then we will let the rest of the Family know tomorrow night, but I wanted to tell you and Dad first."

"Have you told your Dad already?"

"Yeah we painted together early this morning he was pleased for me for us, truthfully I think he is still getting over Henrik's birth," Hope giggled, "Making him stay to be at the birth still has him rattled, Aunt Dahlia says it's because Men have never been allowed in when their Wives are giving birth before and he may have been okay 1000 years in the future but this is still the dark ages." Hope teased laughing.

"Well your birth was traumatic and your Dad was traumatised for other reasons I'm not even sure he was fully aware of the birthing process with you, him being pinned to a wall those bloody witches chanting and tearing you from me, Henrik's birth was easy by comparison and I'm glad your first time will nothing like mine was."

"Did you hate those witches for what they did to us?"Hope asked knowing the story but never asking her Mom before it was only now she was pregnant and had been here to hear her Mom give birth to Henrik that it crossed her mind how terrifying it must have been for her Mom and Dad when she was born.

"Yes I did hate them for taking you from me and it was so intensely satisfying to kill them," Hayley replied with a evil smile and Hope chuckled.

"This is when I see why you and Dad are so perfectly matched you get the same fierce look in your eyes and that devilish smile," Hope drawled.

Hayley laughed softly, "That is the wolf in both of us you will see once your child is here, your wolf and Raf's wolf will protect your child in almost any way possible." 

"Yes I think I already feel that," Hope said putting a hand to her flat stomach with a loving smile.

"How is Lizzie getting on? she hasn't been back to the future in Months," Hayley asked as Henrik fell away from her boob asleep and Hayley covered herself and gently patted him on his back.

"Her and Aunt Dahlia are thick as thieves they are making up new spells for this and that and having a great time, Lizzie finds life here with us way more exciting than her own time and she is loved and wanted, she doesn't feel like a freak and her mental health issues have really subsided with Dahlia as her mentor really she has become more like a Mom to Lizzie."
