Serendipity

Chapter 12

Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire

Freya's POV

I open my eyes and saw myself laying on the bed. Instinctively, I put my hand on my tummy to feel my baby but I found none.

"Lucien! Rebekah!" I yelled searching every room of the house yet they were nowhere to be found. I collapse on the floor crying. Then I felt a little hand touching my face. I look up and saw a beautiful baby boy smiling at me. He is a complete mini Lucien. Could he be? I touch his hand on my cheek.

"Mommy, why are you crying? Daddy said I should watch over you while you sleep." I smiled at him and carry and hug him in my arms.

"Mommy's fine. I thought I lost you." I sadly said hugging him tightly in my arms.

"I will always protect you, mommy." he whispered.

Gasping for air as I wake up and find myself in my room once again. Lucien is sleeping soundly on the couch inside my room. Is that a dream? Did I lost my baby? What the hell happened?

"Good morning. I see you are already awake." Althea said entering my room with a tray in her hands. I look at her confused. She place the tray on the table and sit on the edge of the bed.

"How long have I been out?" I asked.

"2 days. They called me that night and ask for my help. So here I am helping."

"What happened? Did I lose the baby?"

"You exhausted yourself too much by using your magic, Freya. It caused your bleeding that night. Honestly, I really don't know what to do when I arrived here. Your eyes close, pale face and blood is visible on your legs. Rebekah was already crying so hard and blaming herself but Lucien calm her down. In short, we don't know what to do. You heart stop beating and so did the heartbeat of your child. Rebekah decided to clean you up and dress you while Lucien is still frozen shock. As we lay you here on your bed, Rebekah heard your heart beating simultaneously a tiny heartbeat was heard as well. We all concluded that your child healed you, Freya. It took a few hours for us to realize that conclusion." Althea explained. I touch my stomach and feel my baby bump. Lucien groan as he open his eyes.

"Freya?" he immediately hugged me and kiss my forehead. We were both caught up in the moment that we didn't realize that Althea is already gone in the room. Lucien kissed me passionately on my lips then pulled away instantly.

"Our child is strong, love. He healed you. I thought for a second I lost the both of you back there. God! I would be in a killing spree if that happened." Lucien said.

"I dreamed of him, Lucien. He told me that he will always protect me."

"Really, love? I guess he is indeed special. Frankly, he was made by a handsome ancient vampire and a thousand year old powerful witch."

"Although, I really don't like how he looks like. He is a mini you." I tease him. He glare at me. I laugh at his reaction and kiss his cheeks.

"Just joking. Of course, I love him no matter what. This means that I love him more than I love you now, love." He frown. Looking at Lucien is like I'm already looking at my son.

"Stop staring, love." he said.

"You have to get used to it since staring at you is like staring at him as well." I explained. He stand up and place the tray that Althea brought on my lap.

"Breakfast for my queen and my handsome prince." Lucien lovingly said. I roll my eyes at him and started eating. Up until now I still can't get used to seeing Lucien being sweet and cuddly. Or maybe I just miss seeing him with his arrogant, selfish and full of himself kind of attitude. He did changed a lot since we fall in love with each other, even more right now that I'm carrying his miraculous gifted child inside my womb. Love is not for the weak and it will not make you weak. I also observed that on my brother, Niklaus. He may deny it but Cami made him feel loved but Lucien took that away from him. I guess my family's approval on Lucien will never happen except for Rebekah of course.

"You are spacing out, love." Lucien said waving his hand on my face.

"I was thinking about how would I tell my family about me, about us and about the baby. I know they will not approve of our relationship but I'm hoping that my child could meet them someday." Lucien sighed and touch my stomach.

"He will but not now, love. Thinks are very much complicated. With Luke lurking around London ready to strike back, we need to focus on that problem before them. Surely, they would love seeing you carrying him in New Orleans but it doesn't include me. Niklaus may have asked for my help but I know he still despise me for what I did to Cami." Lucien explained. I can feel that he is still adjusting to his new life with me. The guilt is eating him alive for everything he did in the past. I've been selfish enough for thinking about my feelings when Lucien is suffering from all of it.

"I'm sorry, Lucien." he looked at me confused.

"For what exactly, love?"

"For everything. I was so selfish for thinking about my own feelings when here you are still in pain from the events in the past. I was not a good partner to you, Lucien but you still love me whatever mess I bring to you. I don't know why you have to stick up with someone like me." I said. He peck me on my lips and smile at me. This is what I love about him. Whenever I feel upset or sad, he will hold me, kiss me and genuinely smile at me. It makes me fall in love with him even more.

"You are not selfish, Freya. You are the most selfless person I ever know. I bet you didn't know that because you always look up for the feelings and well-being of others than yours. You even died because you are selfless enough to give a new life to me. Maybe I should be the one apologizing to you. We both know what I did and yet you still choose to love me. Honestly, you are the best thing that ever happen to me, Freya Mikaelson. Unexpected arrival indeed."

"Touching but I need to talk to my sister alone." Rebekah cut in. Lucien walk out of the room and leave me with Rebekah. She was about to talk but I cut her in.

"If you are here to apologize about what happened, don't. Its not your fault, Rebekah. We all agreed to go there and Luke is completely insane for moving against us. So don't help a grudge against yourself because none of it is your fault." I explained.

"Its not about that, Freya. Although thank you for making me feel better by saying those words. It is about Vincent." I looked at her confused.

"What about him?" I curiously asked.

"Apparently, he confessed to Elijah about your resurrection. I don't why would he do that or Elijah just tortured it out of him." I look at her shocked.

"What?! So they know that I'm alive?!" I exclaimed.

"No. Not exactly all of them. Just Elijah and he is planning to visit here. To see you and of course the baby."

"You told him about the baby?"

"I did. He called me a few minutes ago. He gave me his word that he wouldn't tell Niklaus or anyone about it. I trust Elijah more than Niklaus, sister. We need him right now, Freya." I sighed and hold her hand.

"Fine. There is nothing I can about it. Elijah is very much persistent. However if he tries something on Lucien. I would not hesitate to kick him out." Rebekah laugh at my remark. I stand up and we both walk out of the room. Rebekah assisted me down the stairs. I froze when I saw Elijah standing in front of me smiling.

"Hello, sister."
