Allure of Darkness ↠ Klaus Mikaelson [3]

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

"The leaves are changing from emerald to gold and I'm changing for the better. I have to believe that I will."

I was standing in front of a mirror, trying to fasten the zipper on my dress. Allison appeared at the door behind me, startling me a little.

"Would you like some help?" She asked me as she leaned on the door, a soft smile appearing on her features as she saw me struggling.

I smiled up at her in appreciation. "You might need to use all your vampstrength," I joked, earning a chuckle from her.

"Allow me." She made her way behind me and began to fasten the zipper and buttons that were on the dress.

"Thanks, I wouldn't need your help if I knew where Hayley was." I looked back at her with a smile. "Not too many pregnant Casket Girls, I guess," I added as I looked in the mirror, admiring the dress, smoothing it down.

"I think you look lovely," she whispered softly.

I turned to her, raising an eyebrow at her odd behavior. "What's wrong?"

Allison let out a sigh. "I... think I might be pregnant." She closed her eyes, pursing her lips.

My eyes widened as I looked at her before laughing. Her eyes opened and she looked at me with wide eyes. "Only we would get pregnant around the same time."

"I'm not playing around, Spencer." Her eyes were watery now. "I'm scared that if Stiles found out--"

"You think he's going to leave you?" I asked, standing up straighter. "He would never."

"He was obsessed with Lydia for years, Spencer," she basically shouted, a tear escaping her eyes. "I don't understand how that could all of a sudden go away."

"So... you think he's using you?" I asked, getting angry. Stiles would never. "I know my brother better than  he knows himself. And when I tell you this, it's the truth -- He would never do that. I can see that he truly does love you. And if you really are pregnant, then he will be there for you and the baby, no matter what."

She wiped away her tears. "I'm sorry, I just really love him. It's different than how I loved Scott, this love feels more natural, not like it was forced. With Scott and I, it happened so fast that I couldn't really process it at all, but with Stiles, it happened slowly, like it was meant to be."

I chuckled, placing my hand on her cheek, and wiped away her tears. "Of course, Allison. That's how it's suppose to happen -- strangers to friends and then finally boyfriend/girlfriend." I send her a small smile.
