I look at the glowing alarm clock on my nightstand which sits next to my bed. '4:00 AM', the alarm clock reads. I let out a deep sigh, not being able to sleep in my bed alone. Klaus was right, his bed is more comfortable. I get out of my bed and stretch my limbs, pulling my sports bra down slightly and fixing my athletic shorts.
I pull my mop of curls behind my head and wrap them in a hair band to get them out of my face. I take a deep breath and walk out of my room and go out onto the balcony that overlooks the courtyard. The sun still hasn't come up and the compound is dark. I walk down and pass Klaus's room. His door is open and I see him sleeping peacefully in his bed. I swallow hard and I step into his room quietly, closing the door behind me.
I take quiet steps towards his bed and slickly climb under the white duvet cover. I'm not mad at him anymore, and I'm not really sure if I was mad in the first place. I was more scared than anything, and I guess that just made me lash out in anger. Klaus is on his side with his eyes closed and I get on my side, just gazing at him and it gives me so much relief when I see how at peace he is in his sleep.
Suddenly he let's out a deep sigh, signaling that he has awoken and I just look at him to see what he is going to do next.
"Having trouble sleeping, I see." Klaus says as he opens up his tired eyes to look at me.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you. I just thought that I could sleep better in here..." I say to him as I look into his beautiful blue eyes. Klaus just looks at me. "I'm sorry about earlier... I don't want to fight with you.. Especially not now." I say to him quietly as I place my hand on his bare chest, just wanting to feel his skin on mine.
"It's alright love, I apologize too. I said some nasty things that I did not mean." Klaus apologizes as he wraps his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him.
"Thank you for the apology... Are we okay?" I ask him curiously as I place my hand on his bicep, gently caressing the skin.
"Of course we are. It was just a lovers spat and nothing more." Klaus assures me as he kisses my forehead quickly. I smile at him and then peck his lips affectionately.
"I love you." I whisper to him quietly as I move closer to him. He just tightens his grip around me and kisses my hair.
"I love you too, now get some sleep, my love." Klaus whispers back to me as his fingers delicately stroke my back, soothing me into a deep, deep sleep.

"You're such a good baby, my little girl." I say to Faith quietly as I rock her in her rocking chair. Her hazel eyes stare up at me in wonderment as she sucks on her pacifier. I hear a faint knock on the nursery door and I look up to see Freya holding Hope on her hip.
"Hello." She says with a small smile on her face.
"Hey." I smile at her as I get out of the rocking chair.
"I just came to see how you were doing. Klaus told me that you didn't sleep well." Freya says as she puts Hope down, letting her roam free around the nursery.
"I'm doing fine, thanks. Just a little on edge with the whole situation that's going." I say as I gently bounce to keep Faith at ease.
"Understandable. I mean, you do not want anything happening to your little ones." Freya says as she takes Faith out of my arms and holds her tight as she looks at her affectionately.
"Or Klaus, or Elijah, or any of you for that matter." I say as I feel Hope tugging on the bottom of my romper. "What's up princess?" I ask her curiously.
