Empire

chapter 5

Klaus and Elijah listened to the footsteps of the witches. After they are sure that all of them left and they are alone, both of them looked at their sister.

Rebekah is not a fool, she exactly know the questions that are going to come in her way. Her brothers waited to be left alone as they don't want their reactions to be known to the strangers. After she came to know about the pregnancy, it is the one of the things which worried her. The inevitable question.

Rebekah, Who is the father, may we know? Elijah questioned

She felt dread washing over her. She had not think at all when she hooked up with a random person at the bar.

You have to know it was a one time thing. We never intended to make it anything personal. And this pregnancy is an accident and actually it's my mistake that I didn't think about the fact that I'm human but not a vampire. So it's not his fault.

She can see Elijah is looking more surprised.

Oh bloody hell! Spare us the details, Just tell the name of the father, Klaus asked impatiently

I don't know anything about him but his name is Dylan.

If this is some kind of joke, You can see, I'm not laughing, Klaus growled.

You have to know that I was enjoying being an unknown for a short while. We were at a diner and when we hit off, we spent one night and parted ways. He gave me his number but I didn't call. He has no idea that I'm Rebekah Mikelson, Rebekah answered

Which only makes you dumb little sister. I mean he may not know who you are, but you should have know better, Klaus surmised.

As I've said it was a one time thing. There is nothing else, Bekah claimed

But we have to tell Dylan now, Rebekah stated

You must be kidding, Klaus mocked

Rebekah, Elijah warned

No. He must know about the child. I am not saying that he will be happy or if he wants to be a part of my child's life, but he must know the truth. I will not lie to my child about her father, Rebekah declared

Klaus break a chair at that and went out of the room furiously.

Elijah can hear that Klaus is outside within hearing distance and he can hear him

I need to be here, I just can't. I'll be here listening to whatever our little sister has to say more, Klaus claimed

Right, Elijah said to him. He also see that Rebekah is looking anxious.

Rebekah, Now what if he wants the child himself? Elijah probed.

He have no idea how his little sister would react if the the stranger chose to raise the child on his own. He highly doubts if he have any idea who she is.

Dylan is not looking for any kind of commitment the last time I saw Elijah, Bekah claimed.

Elijah can hear some stone getting smashed outside. It's a good thing that Bekah can't hear the fury of Klaus.

I think you are misreading the situation Rebekah, A relationship is one thing but being a father is a life changing thing to anyone. Elijah reasoned

Rebekah was taken aback. All this time she was worried about the child's safety and her brother's reaction. But with Dylan, she assumed that he won't want any part in their child's life. But it is dawning on her of what this child may meant to the man. And she has no idea of what to think of it. Would he want to be a part of child's life?

Elijah looks concerned. It's been clear to him that his little sister didn't think of the chance of Dylan wanting anything to do with the child. Heavens, they all are in a turmoil. And they have to take down Marcel and his army, make peace with the witches and their ancestors in the middle of their own family drama. He have to be more careful, since this is going to be more impossible by the time.

And I assume our little sister wants me to welcome Dylan with an open arms, Klaus growled with sarcasm

Niklaus, please, We don't even know the man yet, Let all of us try to handle this situation in a better way, I don't want our family in any more trouble that we already in, Elijah convinced

Elijah, first let me just just talk to Dylan about our child. And we will take decision after that. But one thing I am sure is that my child will grow up by our family side. We will deal with the problems come with it, Rebekah declared

Ha ! At least there is one thing that I agree with our sister, Klaus stated with anger

Agreed, the child stays with us, Elijah agreed with his siblings.

We will be back Rebekah, Elijah informed her sister. He went near her and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. She smiled at that. In spite of everything that is happening, their sister looks happy and he intended for her to stay that way. He will do everything in his power to do that.

Elijah can see the cemetery more now. It was like a maze for a stranger but once you get use to it you can actually see the paths instead of the maze. He also see his brother seething fury in a distant.

He is facing the wall and by his side he saw the stones which have been smashed as a result of his fury.

Centuries together, yet his siblings always find a way to torture one another.

Niklaus, we shall see the town and it's way, Elijah tried to soothe his brother

And after that brother? May I know what are we going to do about Marcel and Dylan? I assume you have a master plan of sorts, Klaus mocked with disdain

Niklaus. It was an accident, Elijah tried to reason with his brother but he can see that it only made him more furious

Klaus walked away. He caught up to him in the vampire speed and they ended up in the streets.

I understand that she have done something stupid, but you have to understand

Don't, Elijah,

No, Niklaus hear me out. Our sister took a way out to escape her problems. As she claims, it is an accident and by the way she is behaving she doesn't want anything to do with Dylan other than to reveal him about the child's identity.

She does not want a husband or a boyfriend, but she want her child to get to know her father. She wants to give the child's father a chance to be at their child's life. She wants the father to know about the child.
You should have known by now, where all this coming from. You of all people know the pain of the child not knowing the father.

Elijah have no choice but to be blunt about it. He exactly know Klaus is a strong reason why Rebekah is hell bent on including the father of the child. His siblings may fight like savages, but their love for each other is nothing less.

After they came to know about the birth secret of Niklaus, seeing the Nik getting brutally abused by Mikel, Rebekah have stated to him numerous times if they were human, she will never try to keep her child as a secret from the child's father. She has claimed that whatever reason be, she will make an effort to make the child's father to at least know that he is having a child of his own and will give him a chance.

Niklaus looked heartbroken at that. His brother has touched a very souring subject. Elijah usually shy away from this topic, but today is an exception he guessed. Of course, he knows more than anyone how important for a child to know the father. He have scars to remind him if by any chance he tries to forget. But still it bothers him that his sister has been careless.

I'm not going to be accommodating, Klaus claimed

Elijah breathed a sigh of relief. It's process. It's a step and he will make it sure it went the right way.

Right now, it'll be much more helpful if you didn't kill him or hurt him

Well,

Niklaus

Fine, I will not harm the father of my niece. You are so boring Elijah

We'll work on that. Now our problem

Marcel

How in the world it is possible?

We're about to find out brother.
