Falling ::Klaus Mikaelson::

20- An Unblinking Death

"Deep breath, then exhale." Hayley instructs. I follow her instructions, as I lay on the floor partially propped up on the floor.

"I guess this means no epidural, huh?" I ask. She chuckles and shakes her head. "Are you sure we can't do this thing in a hospital? You know, the place with all the doctors? So I won't be in a writhing mess of pain?" I question.

"Honey, the wolves have been having babies out here since before you were born. Stop worrying." Eve answers as she walks through the door.

I groan and throw my head back in disappointment and annoyance. "Okay, then what, Eve? I don't even know what it's like to have a mother, let alone be one." I admit, sitting up.

"I'm going to hang out clothes." Hayley states, walking out the door.

"Trust me, when the time comes, you'll know exactly what to do." She reassured me. "I hope so, as fun as it is to imagine Klaus changing dirty diapers, I'm pretty sure that I'll be doing this alone." I shrug.

"I somehow doubt that. I see the way he looks at you. It's like he constantly feels the need to protect you." Eve counters.

I go to reply, but I'm cut off when I find Elijah standing in the doorway. "Pardon the interruption. I wonder if I might have a quick word with the conspirators of a supposed uprising." He states. Here we go again.

Later that day...

I'm sitting alone in the cabin, reading a book, when I hear the sound of a motorcycle approaching.

I shut the book, and walk outside to see what's going on.

Outside, there's a young man, maybe early to mid twenties sitting on a dirt bike. Across from me, behind the motorcycle, I see Jackson, Hayley, and Elijah standing there.

"Which one of you is in charge?" The man asks. "Who's asking?" Jackson quips back. After that, a small silence takes hold, and I get a grave feeling of what's going to happen.

Before I can see what's happening, a large explosion goes off, and I'm sent flying backward.

I feel my head hit something, before it all goes dark, and all I can see is a blurred vision of the smoke, flames, and woods, before I see black. However, the incessant ringing in my ears from the deafening explosion continues to ring throughout my head.

_____________

"How did this happen?" I hear a voice ask from another room. "She was standing too close, she's fine, she just got hit in the head." A female voice comes in.

"Why didn't you lead her away from there? Why weren't you with her?" The male voice asks, much angrier this time.

I open my eyes, and find myself not in a cabin, but in a room. The compound.

I sit up slowly, placing my hand instinctively on my stomach.

It's dark outside, which I can only guess means I've been out for a while. Slowly, I get to my feet, and walk out of the room.

I look in the mirror that sits in the hallway, and find my face smudged with black soot from the explosion, and mud from the ground.

I continue to walk down toward the voices, so I can find out what happened. "It was reckless. Elijah, you should have been there with her." I hear Klaus scold.

Oh no.

I open the door, and stand in the doorway, to the room that's always dimly lit. "You're awake." Hayley greets me with a small relieved smile.

"Yeah." I state, causing Elijah and Klaus to look my way.

Klaus, without hesitation, moves forward, and takes me into his arms. I'm taken my surprise at first, but I quickly relax into his embrace.

His head rests in the crook of my neck, while my chin rests on his shoulder. "Thank god you're okay." He mumbles. "I'm fine." I assure him.

"How are you feeling?" Klaus asks. "I feel fine. Seriously, I just have a headache." I explain, as his grip tightens, like he's afraid to let go.

"We'll leave you two alone." Hayley gives me a smirk, before she and Elijah leave the room.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you." Klaus mumbles I i my neck. "It's okay, Klaus. I'm fine. The baby is fine. We're both okay." I chuckle, giving him some assurance.

"Do you need anything?" He asks, pulling away. "No, I'm just tired still." I explain. "Let's get you to bed then." He smiles, leading me back to my room.
