Klaus and Jamie were in the Lord and Ladies bedroom. Jamie was resting against the pillows while Klaus had spread out over the bed, his head resting beside Jamie's belly bump. "Everything is set, we just need the ring?" Klaus asked.

"Mhmm," Jamie hummed. Her eyes were closed and she was slowly breathing with her hand resting on her belly. Klaus knew she was more awake than asleep as he was listening to her heartbeat along with Henrik's. "Is Henrik bugging you?" he asked in a low voice only to feel part of her belly quickly hit his cheekbones making his head jerk back and look at the belly in offense. Jamie cackled holding her belly. "Good job Henrik," she said to her belly. She looked up at Klaus, "Yes, he was moving around quite a bit," Jamie said, leaning back again as she calmed down quickly.

They had all the horcruxes gathered and were just waiting for the ring. They knew this would be some time after Henrik was born but they were also debating when the other Originals would be undaggered. Mikael, like Freya had understood why Klaus had daggered them after explaining why he did it. Mikael had felt guilty knowing he was the main reason for the daggering. He had admitted to Klaus and Freya after Klaus explained everything that he was disappointed in Rebekah and Elijah's behavior. He didn't approve of Rebekah's behavior towards Marcel even if it didn't farther than they all assumed, Marcel was still someone Rebekah had seen since he was a child and could have influenced him since he was a child. He didn't approve of Elijah's decisions as he didn't fight Mikael or Esther for binding Klaus' wolf. He didn't approve of Elijah believing Klaus does all these horrible things—which Klaus did admit to some of them but they were all out of anger.

Mikael had expressed his gratitude towards Jamie one of the times he spoke. He had told her about the times he could see Klaus truly relaxing and being open towards others. He noticed Klaus officially in a place where he could be happy, have a significant other, and even had friends and family. It hadn't escaped Mikael's knowledge that the Black's had taken Klaus as one of their own (of course disowning him if he hurts Jamie) and the rest of the Mikaelsons (which included Marcel) were also being brought into the family. Mikael had noticed Andromeda and her husband Ted had been helping Freya know about modern term and things while Orion, Sirius, and Bellatrix have been helping Mikael himself with his increased temper he unfortunately still had.

"When would you like to undagger them?" Jamie asked, stroking Nik's hair. "We know Mikael was spelled so you don't have to worry about them. Marcel is okay with Rebekah being undaggered as long as she doesn't compel him and stays out of his space. Henrik will be born soon and the thing with Tom is sometime we don't know when."

"I would wait until Henrik is alright," Nik eventually said.

"What do you mean?" she asked him.

"As in, you have a point of conflicting kinds of magic and may need a temporary block to help him adjust. I want him to at least be able to sit up on his own before I bombard with another aunt and more uncles. Personally, I don't know if they'll accept that it's a reborn Henrik because I'm sure he won't look the same."

"Oh, my wolf King, I believe they'll know it's him," Jamie said in a soft voice.

"I'm not even sure Mikael will look at him as his grandson and only his son. While it is Henrik reborn, it's not the same Henrik," Klaus explained.

"We'll figure it out if it happens. No he will likely not look the same as he will have my genes and Potter-born tend to have green eyes which I believe his were hazel," Nik nodded, "Either way, we'll know it's Henrik Mikaelson reborn, and so will Sirius and so will Death. I'm unsure how much he may remember, but since he made a joke about being a werewolf snack, I'm sure he's fine with you and Remus and being a werewolf himself," Jamie said, sitting up a little.

Klaus sat up, "That's right, he'll be part werewolf."

"Which is another reason why I had suggested that block in the first place. I know werewolves are a bit temperamental—even Remus has his moments—but it's harder for a baby or a toddler to do it and with our kind of magic being able to present itself accidentally and the history of the Potters use of accidental magic..."

"It will most definitely be deadly," Nik said. He leaned down towards the belly, "I'm liking the thought of you more and more," he muttered but Jamie heard as she laughed. Clutching her belly as Henrik moved around more.

"By the way," Klaus said, getting back to the topic of his siblings. "Do you believe I should show Freya Finn? I wondered if Esther had done something to him besides the block and I also wonder the same about Kol? Do you think she would be okay seeing them even if I don't want to undagger them yet?"

Jamie thought for a moment, "I believe she will want to undagger them, but I know both Mikael and Freya have been respecting your wishes. If you ask her, and she asks when you'll do it, tell her what you told me about when you would do it," she answered.

Nik nodded. He looked a bit more confident in his decision. "I'm going to ask her. Will you be okay by yourself or should I let the whimpering dog in?"

"HEY!" Sirius yelled from outside the door, "Wait until you break your curse and we'll see who's the whimpering dog!"

Jamie laughed again, "Let him in."
