The Affair ~ The Originals

2- What? How?

I slowly walked up to the large mirror and gripped my stomach tight. I turned to the side and saw Elijah staring at me with worried eyes.

He walked up to me and held me tight, as I crinkled the side of his perfect suit.
"I can hear it," he spoke quietly.
"But how? I thought vampires can't reproduce," I asked confused.

"That's because they can't," he responded, before gently gripping his hand around my wrist, "come on."
We headed downstairs and settled down, sitting on the dining table with the whole family - Klaus, Rebekah, Kol, Freya and Finn. Though we made sure we came in at different intervals and sat separately to avoid suspicion.

We all gathered around the large mahogany table and Elijah and I sat opposite each other and I continued my façade of Klaus and I's undying love.

But the thing is that I do love him I truly do... but I think I may love his brother more.
What type of sick person does that, cheats on someone with your love's brother? When you know the person they're cheating on can and will hurt or even kill someone because of their indiscretions?
Oh wait. Me. The girl who loves her fiancé's brother more than him.
I'm acting like their witch of a mother and look how she ended up. Gone.

Just the thought of it made me sick to my stomach, I actually puked up on the floor . Thank God it didn't end up on someone.

"Are you okay love?" Klaus asked with a troubled expression.

"Yeah, just a little sick," I mumbled.

But Freya didn't seem to hear me as she asked sweetly, " you sure sweetie? you do look a little pale." She inspected my face.

"I've been feeling sick lately, probably just the usual stomach bug," I lied. Will they fall for it? How will I tell Klaus? It's his child after all. How will he react?

Elijah seemed have had enough of this so he blurted it out before I could even open my mouth.
"She's pregnant," he announced ignoring the shocked and confused expressions.
Lucky for him I couldn't cause they were all directed at me.

He seemed a little agitated perhaps even mad, is it cause the fact that I'm pregnant? Or with his brother's child?

"Are you alright there Elijah? I think we all know that vampires can't procreate," Kol commented confused.

"No, but hybrids can,"  he retorted while everyone's eyes widened in shock. I could have sworn Rebekah's mouth actually fell open, talk about draw-dropping.

"What? How? Who? When?" Klaus asked in a frenzy.

"It's true," I responded answering his questions in single sentence.

"Listen," Elijah added, Klaus mentally asked if he could touch my stomach and I nodded, as he held on to my stomach carefully like his life depended on it.

"Bloody hell! It's true! Congrats Hayley!" Rebekah practically screeched, obviously listening to the baby's heartbeat. "So...have you thought of a name yet?" She asked with a wide smile plastered on her face.

"Seriously? I have 9 months to figure this out, don't pester me about it now, " I complained.

"Yes, yes I know. It's just that I'm so excited," she responded . Honestly the baby just complicates everything. Telling Klaus I'm having his child, what about Elijah? I thought the heartache he is probably going through right now, all I am is a complicated mess.

How can my life be so screwed up? And how can I do this to the 2 people that means most to me? And my child? 

I won't be able to handle everybody else's drama. I have enough of that on my own?
