My Sunshine | Camille O'Connell

(35) Moon Over Bourbon Street

So time flies and we somehow made it through an entire month with little to no drama.

Just heaps of unresolved tension and silent treatments.

Klaus has mostly confined himself to his room to do his art......and Genevieve.

I'm not one to judge bedfellows, I've had my fair share of weird ones, but the woman quite literally tortured the lot of us. Mostly Rebekah, and everything falls into place.

My brother is still upset with her but won't admit it. Whether it be for the Mikael thing or her leaving I have no idea because I refuse to chase after someone who is avoiding me, especially when it's him.

Besides, I have better ways to spend my time...

Things between my sunshine and me have been like a dream. Something I never thought I'd ever get, a rare happiness. And of course Rebekah was eating it up when I told her over our weekly calls.

Hayley has been distant, but I blame that on her family. Now that the cure has been successfully delivered to her people she has spent all her time in the Bayou which means I don't see her as often. She's invited me plenty, I just refuse to go. Bias I know, but I've been scorned by too many werewolves to trust they'll be tolerable towards me.

It was strange at first not being her protector anymore, but I suppose it was an inevitable change. And I'll always be there when she calls.

She hasn't been calling either. Trying to put some distance between herself and the compound I suspect. Which includes all inhabitants.

Besides my dear sunshine, meetings with my reluctant therapist, and my sister's phone calls, Elijah is the only other person I've spoken to, which has met my quota for infuriating conversations. Whether they be about Hayley or Niklaus, or both!

It's getting ridiculous and dull at this point how my brother has refused to make any moves with the pregnant wolf. Especially with this time apart leading to his resolve that distance is best instead of recognizing natural time away from someone can remind him how much he cares for her! But even I'm getting sick of caring about this!

I don't know which is worse. That or his insistence on Niklaus getting his act together and finally doing something with the kingdom he took from Marcellus. I'd question why this is a problem now, but I suspect with Hayley entering the eighth month phase the realization of Baby Mikaelson coming has most likely just hit him.

I wonder if Klaus and Hayley have chosen a name for her yet? Doubtful, that would require the two to talk to each other.

Meanwhile I've been preoccupied commandeering Nik's pet project for her nursery. Which unfortunately means I had to hold back my teasing for how adorable he was for coming up with the idea on his own.

Elijah doesn't know, thinks our brother is drifting about doing absolutely nothing. Not my place nor my desire to defend Klaus on that one. This annoyed him at first before he realized the advantage of our brother being out of the picture. Now he fancies himself de facto King of New Orleans, bringing together the factions under new peace terms.

Sounds swimming! Genevieve who tortured me, Diego the grouch who despises us, and Kieran who is currently dying from a madness hex.

Safe to say, I gave a big "fuck no!" To my brother when I was asked to accompany him.

I've officially pulled out of the boys' drama of the week and have felt lighter as a result. From now on the only concern we have in common is the baby, and I will be keeping to that.

Which leads to my current idea. While Elijah taking over the Quarter is incredibly egotistical and he's been a complete narcissist over the ordeal, his plan to unite the factions before Hayley gives birth is smart, and something I know Klaus will fuck up if given the chance.
