You can't control happiness

Sam

I walked over to my parents front door and with a smile on my face, I knocked. I hadn't seen them since Bella was born and I was at least hoping to see my mom.

Bella cooed in my arms at the sound which made me chuckle. This little girl was sensitive to anything, like Finn.

"Coming!" A voice I recognized as my mothers came from the other side of the door.

I took a deep breath and head onto the baby bag tighter as I heard the door open.

On the other side, it revelries my beautiful mother, wearing her beanie and her robe as usual. She looked so tired I almost started crying.

"Abby."  Her eyes sparkled when she saw me. "Hi mama." I greeted and when she opened her arms I carefully placed the bag down and hugged her with my free one, the one that wasn't holding my daughter.

"I've been waiting to see you." She kisses the side of my head. "I've missed you so much my sweet girl."

I closed my eyes and embraced the moment, because I know it won't last that long, she won't always be here to be my escape.

"And hello there." My mom pulled away and made little grabby hands at Bella.

I playfully rolled my eyes and handed Bella to her. "She's heavier." My mom commented. "Yeah well, she's still a newborn."

I think she caught onto my attitude, I haven't been really happy lately. I wasn't smiling brightly. There was only a tug at the end of my lips.

I wasn't telling her about how the weddings going to go and I for sure as hell haven't mentioned anything about family life.

Finn hates me how could I.

"Come in." She nodded her head towards the inside. I picked up the baby bag and followed her as she walked in.

When I passed the hall way I felt some sort of deja vu.

I looked at all the pictures of when I was kid and my face was deformed, it brought back awful memories but there were also the good ones.

The ones with him.

There's a picture of us at my 13th birthday party. And he came with Y/n. It was always about her.

I wonder what would have happened if Finn chose me instead of her.

The walk along the hallway felt like ages were going by, but in reality it's only been a couple of seconds.

"Make yourself at home honey, because well— this is your home." Mom smiled as she sat down on the couch. I chuckled a bit and sat down on the couch next to her her.

"So. Tell me." She started. My eyes bolted down faster than I expected. "Uh.. nothing much, it's just you know- weddings in a few days." I explained moving my hand around.

"Abby, not just that. Tell me everything. How's Finn and Klaus?"

That's when I broke down. I bursted into a fit of sobs. "Oh sweetie-" she laid down Bella on her blanket and brought me into a hug I immediately fell into.

"Mama I'm so unhappy.. I'm so— I can't- I really can't." I cried into her shoulder as she rubbed up and down my back.

"I try everything. He doesn't love me mama. He doesn't and it's unfair, it's unfair!" Those words gritted through my teeth. "I hear you Abigail. You cannot keep torturing yourself like this."

"I love that man mom. And I did something terrible to his son." My mom pulled away for a bit and looked me in the eye. "What did you do to klaus?"I knew my mom always loved him even though she rarely sees him.

"I h-hurt him. I didn't mean to I swear I didn't, I was just too over my head and I couldn't think straight."

She made a face and looked away for a minute. "Mom you know I would never intentionally hurt him. I love him like he were my own son, I helped raise him. I'm like his mother."  I whispered that last part.

"Mothers do not hurt their children Abby. They protect." She turned to look at me again. "I know that mama.. I do believe me. I regretted it as soon as I did it."

"Honey you cannot keep this up. If you can't handle it leave them. Come live with me with Bella."

I sniffled and held her hands. "I would love to, but I would never give up on Finn.. he and I were made for each other."

"For goodness sakes he's in love with another woman." I didn't need it, I know Finn loves y/n I'm not fucking stupid. But I know there's a part of him that loves me.

I know there is.

But I'm living a lie. A terrible fucking lie. "Tell him your name, show him who you really are. My love I didn't give birth to a Samantha.." she moved her hands from my own and placed them gently on my face.

"I gave birth to Abby. My Abigail." She grazed her finger over the mark from the surgery over 17 years ago. "You were beautiful before and you're beautiful now. All a mother wants from her child is for them to be happy, if you're unhappy we're also unhappy. Do you really want Bella to grow up in a household where her father acts like you don't exist?"

"No."

"Then do the right thing. Tell Finn. And if he stays with you then it okay. If he doesn't then you just have to accept it." It didn't sound like a bad idea. But I had threatened Finn to hurt klaus again and I had no idea how to take that back.

Klaus

I sat down in my room with my hands stuck to my face. I'm tired, I'm really goddamn tired of trying to find a woman that seems like she just disappeared off the face of the earth. "What the hell do I do."

I heard a knock on my door which made me furrow my eyebrows. Sam isn't home, dad isn't home. The cleaners are on a day off.

So whos here?

Before I even had time to open my mouth and answer the door opened, revealing the last person I was expecting today.

"Sofia?" I sat up and sat at the edge of my bed. She smiled showing her dimples. "Hey." She closed the door behind her and stood there.

"What are you doing here?"

"Leilah said you were having trouble with everything at home." Wow. Leilah is such a fucking snitch.
"Yeah.. so?"

"I want to help you."

I almost laughed as I shook my head. "No- thanks! But no."

"Klaus I know where your mom is."
