Serendipity

Chapter 24

Lucien's POV

We announced our engagement to Elijah and Rebekah that day and shockingly they are happy for us especially Rebekah. Now, we just arrived in New Orleans and on our way to the Mikaelson compound.

"Hey. Are you alright?" Freya asked. Elijah and Rebekah are in the other car while Lux is on the backseat sleeping.

"I'm fine." I replied coldly.

"Oh. Okay." Freya looks outside the window. I sighed and placed my hand on hers.

"I'm sorry,love. To be honest, I'm a bit nervous seeing your brother again especially now." I explained as I look on the ring on her finger. Freya didn't respond. We stayed silent until we reached the compound. Freya quickly walked out the car and grab Lux in the backseat. Before I can say anything, she went inside the compound. I put my hand on my face and sighed. I have a feeling that this would turn into a fight later on.

"Lucien! You might want to get inside already." Rebekah said. I carry our bags and enter the compound. Here we go, Lucien. Time to face the wrath of Niklaus Mikaelson.

"Don't worry Lucien. Nik is not home yet. You have plenty of time to prepare." Rebekah teased. I glare at her and made my way towards Freya's room. Damn it! Freya is upset with me and later on Niklaus will kill me. What a great way to start your stay here Castle.

Freya's POV

It is a bit childish for me to be upset about Lucien sudden cold replied at me but its the first time he actually have been like that since we reunited again. Besides, I can't deal with his stupid attitude right now. Lux is already awake and staring at me as we walk towards Hayley's room.

"Freya!" Hayley yelled and hugged me. Lux started to cry which made Hayley pull away.

"I'm sorry. Aren't you the cutest little one?" Hayley cooed at Lux. Lux stopped crying and stare at Hayley.

"He is not really good at new people." I said. Hayley smiled at me.

"No worries. I bet he is still adjusting."

"Where's Hope?" I asked.

"Auntie Freya!" a little girl called behind Hayley. She hugged my legs and smiled at me. Hayley carried Lux as I hug her daughter.

"Hey there! You still remember me?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Mommy always reminds me about you. She told me that you took care of me while she is gone." she replied.

"She have grown so quickly! And very smart too for her age." I said.

"Apparently, she is one of a kind. She is growing a bit faster than average kids." Hayley replied. Hope looked at Lux as Hayley return her to me.

"Hope meet Lux. Your cousin." Hope smiled at Lux and waved. Lux giggled at that.

"Auntie Freya, he is so cute." Hope exclaimed. Lux yawned and placed his head on my shoulder.

"Looks like he is tired. Come, Hope. Lux needs to sleep." Hayley said. Hope waved goodbye at me. I walk back to my room and saw Lucien fixing our things.

"I already fixed your things and Lux's." Lucien said looking at me.

"Thank you." He gently take Lux in my arms.
