Book 1: The forgotten Cullen

Almost Perfect

Fiona Pov

I looked at my baby. She wasn't crying like most babies, she was staring silently at me, trying to grab my dark hair with her pudgy little hands. She was beautiful, the perfect mixture of me and Niklaus.

Thick, dark blind curls sat atop of her small, round head. She was looking directly at me, her striking stormy grey eyes piercing into mine. Her skin was fair, more like Klaus' skin tone than mine. I couldn't stop looking at her, she was utterly perfect and nobody could compare.

"Beautiful, isn't she?" Niklaus's voice rang across the room. He was leaning against the doorway, looking at us.

"Yes, she is," I said, my grey eyes not leaving my baby's gaze.

"What's going to be her name?" he asked, walking closer to us.

What was going to be her name? I had so many names in mind, but none of them seemed to fit my baby.

"Tara," I said with resolve. "Her name is Tara."

Tara looked at me and smiled a gummy smile at me. I stroked her cheek with my index finger.

"It's a beautiful name," Niklaus said, looking at Tara.

We all stayed quiet, nobody had nothing to say. After a few long minutes, Klaus broke the silence.

"I'm sorry," he said barely audible.

I looked at him, my mind barely registering what he just said. My lips curled up in a smirk and I looked at him.

"Could you say that a bit louder, please?" I said, amusement in my voice.

"I apologize for my mistakes Fiona," he said, his eyes looked at me pleading. "Please forgive me, I beg of you."

I pretended to think about it and then smiled.

"Nik, I know that you are being sincere. I forgive you but I won't forget. It will take some time for me to completely trust you again. But I'm willing to try, for Tara."

Sorry that I haven't updated recently. I just started high school as a freshman, so its hard trying to manage time. Hope you like this chapter.
