Number 27 - Klaus Mikaelson

You and Klaus had a pretty physical relationship. Of course, you connected emotionally but the sex was pretty good too. So when you decided that you were in at the stage in life where you wanted to have a child you and Klaus were more than happy to try. That was a year ago, a year of constantly trying but failing, until now.

It was in the middle of the night when you woke up, starving. You went into the kitchen and looked for something to eat, you rooted around the fridge and your eyes found it. Pineapple. You took the container out and began eating it hungrily, you also found a bottle of squirty whipped cream. That went straight into your mouth too. Once your hunger was fulfilled you headed back to bed.

The next morning you woke up early to prepare for a day trip with Klaus and Hope. You had made a picnic and put it in the car and it was time to get hope ready. You had to change her out of her nappy (diaper) and into some 'big girl undies', fiddling around with the adhesive tabs you finally opened it. The smell was disgusting, even more so than usual. You ran out of the room and to the bathroom where you puked your guts out. You wiped your mouth and went back to Hope's room to get her dressed.

"I heard vomiting" Klaus said walking into Hope's room

"Yeah that was me. I ate a lot in the middle of the night and Hope's poo made me want to throw it up" You replied

"Do you want to stay home? " he asked putting a hand on your cheek.

"No, I'm fine" You replied lifting Hope off the changing table and handing her to Klaus.

"I had to move your 'time of the month' stuff to get my soap and I don't think I put it back properly"

"Don't worry, I'll put it away when we get back."

You thought about the last time you bought yourself pads, you were pretty sure it was over a month ago. Cravings, weird food combinations, puking and a late period. You couldn't be could you?

"Let's go now daddy" Hope said waving her hands around and snapping you out of your thoughts.

"Yes, OK let's go" Klaus said using his free hand to wrap around you.

While you were on your way to the lake Hope spilled her juice cup all over herself. You managed to find a service station (I think it's called a rest stop in America) where you guys got her out of her sticky, wet clothes.

"I'm going to go and get something from Starbucks. Do you want anything?" You asked Klaus.

"No, I'm fine love. Hurry back"

You smiled and walked towards the building. You headed straight to a pharmacy and got yourself two pregnancy tests and went to the till.

"Had fun over the weekend with a mystery man?" The girl at the check out asked you, with a hint of judging while scanning your items.

"No, I'm pretty sure it's my husbands since you know, I can stay in a committed relationship" You replied back snarkily, taking your tests and shoving them in your bag.

You took out your purse and threw down a £20 note on the counter and turned away.

"Keep the change, you'll need it so sort that mess you call hair on your head" You walked out of the shop and went into Starbucks and compelled the person at the till to make your drink first. You took your chocolate frappe and a brownie square for Hope and returned to the car.

"Look Hope, I got you a brownie."

Hope looked at you wide eyed and grasped the brownie from you.

"Hope? What do we say?" Klaus said sternly.

"Thank you, mummy"

You smiled.

"You're very welcome"

Klaus started the car and you were back on course.

The day at the lake was eventful. You basked in the sun while Hope and Klaus both played in the water, you joined in and then you feasted on the picnic you made before returning home. Once you got home you went straight into the bathroom and showered, then you tackled the pregnancy tests.

You read the instructions before disregarding them completely and peeing straight onto the stick rather than dipping it in the cup. With the timer set on your phone you paced around the bathroom waiting for the alarm, your mind was racing. What if you were pregnant? Would you be a good mother? Would you be able to cope with the pregnancy? What if you weren't pregnant? Would you ever be able to get pregnant? Would Klaus try and find someone else to have children with?

You were interrupted by the sound of your alarm. Slowly you approached the counter and peered at the tests. Two lines. Positive.

You took a deep breath and walked into the study.

"Klaus, I need to talk to you"

"Yes, Love. What's the matter."

"Well, Last night I had this really weird craving in the middle of the night and then when I was changing Hope's nappy I puked and then you told me about my period stuff and I realised I hadn't got my period yet. So when we were at the service station I bought a pregnancy test." You rambled on.

"Here, just look for yourself." You handed him the test.

"Its- It's positive. You're pregnant?" Klaus choked out.

"I'm pregnant!" You exclaimed.

Klaus dropped to his knees in front of you. He placed his hands onto your belly gently.

"Hello, little one. It's daddy here, and I'm with mummy of course and we just found out that you exist. I promise that I will keep you your mummy and your older sister Hope safe, with every last breath in my immortal body." he said speaking softly with a tone full of love.

You smiled down at him. Soon you and Klaus would be extending your family and you couldn't wait.
