ELENA'S POV

Flashback (When Mikael was human)

When the pain subsided, I was able to open my eyes, but Elijah was nowhere to be found. I looked around and I was in some kind of hut. My head turned in the direction when I heard a woman screaming. I moved out of the shadows and saw a man standing outside the door where the scream came from. He was pacing and fidgeting with his hands.

I couldn't get an accurate look at him, so I moved closer and I nearly shit bricks. Fear tighten in my stomach until I was nauseous. Mikael looked up and I frozed, but relaxed. It seems he can't see me. The screams beyond the door became unbearably loud.

"A FEW MORE PUSHES, ELIZABETH! I CAN SEE THE HEAD!" A woman yelled from the other side. The lady that is screaming, which I assume is Elizabeth, is giving birth. I looked back at Mikael. He looked... happy!

"None of this makes sense!" I said aloud. Suddenly, the door opened and a woman came out with a baby in her arms, wrapped in rags. Mikael stood still and looked down at the baby and broke into smiles and tears.

"Lord Mikaelson, it is a boy, but..." The woman broke off the sentence. Mikael looked up at her, no longer smiling.

"But what?" He said.

"The mother is not going to make it. There is just too much blood. You should go see her, before she head to the heavens, sir." The woman said, avoiding Mikael stun gaze.

Why would Mikael care if another woamn make it? And why is he looking at the baby like that? He doesn't seem like the man The Originals described. I followed behind Mikael into the room, where he kneeled next to Elizabeth. She was beautiful, but she looked strangely familiar. Her dirty, blonde hair flowed down her shoulders. Her green eyes was losing life. Mikael took hold of her hand and brung it to his lips. A woman between her legs was working tiredlessly to stop the bleeding, but it was no use.

"Mikael, I'm dying. I need you to promise to care for our little boy. He will need you for the upcoming years. I love you, darling." Elizabeth gasped. She trying to hold onto with all her might.

"I love you, sweetheart. I will be there whenever he needs me, my love. He looks just like you. I know he's going to be stubborn and strong-willed just like you." Mikael said.

Her breaths was becoming shallow. Her eyes was drooping slightly. "Mikael tell me his name, before I go, please." She said.

Mikael took a deep breath and leaned closer to her. "His name will be... Niklaus Mikaelson." Mikael responded, silent tears treading lightly down his face. My mouth must have dropped ten miles. Questions was flying left and right in my head. What the hell is going on? Esther is Niklaus' mom... or is she? That single sentence just changed things immensely. If this is true, why would they lie about Klaus' parents? What would that gain?

Before her last breath, she whispered her child's name with a slight smile, before stop breathing. Mikael grasp her body and held onto her with everything he got. The midwife dismissed herself quietly and left him being. Watching this scene unfold, tugged at my heart strings and felt my tears sting my eyes. He rocked her in his arms and cried silently.
