When We Were Young | The Originals [3] {BEING EDITED}

For the Next Millennium

Maddie's P.O.V

I'm still very angry at Klaus for what he did. It hurts that he cursed my family and Jackson, I miss Jack. I didn't break up with Klaus for it but I am giving him a hard time. I have officially moved into the compound. Klaus helped me pack and move everything. I've mostly been giving him the silent treatment, he hates that.

He would always give me puppy eyes and that stupid sexy smirk. My pregnancy hormones were NOT helping at all because I just wanted to take him right then and there but I've controlled myself...almost every time.

I'm currently laying in bed eating caramel filled chocolates that Klaus went out and bought me because I was craving them and the devil himself was sleeping next to me.

"Good morning, love." His raspy voice fills my ears. Maybe not completey asleep. I said nothing as I ate my chocolate and picked up a random book. "How long are you going to give me the silent treatment for?"

"When my family isn't cursed than maybe we'll talk, but until then," I close my mouth after saying that with a slight glare.

"I said I was sorry and I'm trying to look for a way to reverse it, you know that. I've been telling you and even though you aren't talking to me, you're definitely listening to everything I'm saying." I slowly look at him my glare diminishing.

"Your voice helps us sleep." I mumble and put a hand on my stomach. It's true, every night before bed, Klaus will talk to me and when I'm pretending to be asleep, he talks to the babies. It's sweet and it means a lot to me actually.

"I know. You always pretend to sleep and then 10 minutes later you're actually passed out." He chuckles and sits up.

"How do you know I'm pretending?" I ask with wide eyes.

"Because I know you. I can hear your heart race every time I talk to our children." He tells me with love and sincerity in his blue eyes.

"I'm still mad at you." I say leaning towards him. "But you're also being really sweet right now." I smile and kiss him softly, feeling butterflies once he kisses me back with so much passion and want.

"I know." He mumble against my lips and hovers over me as I giggle.

"I need to shower." I tell him closing my eyes.

"Great. Let's go." He tells me leaning back to look at me.

"Just me." I laugh as he pouts and kisses me once more before getting off me.

After showering, I walk with Klaus into a room with Freya, Hope and Elijah and already want to leave. Elijah and I are on the outs more than Klaus and I are. "I'd offer to accompany you myself but I fear my fragile ego could not endure the litany of insults Hayley has no doubt prepared."

"Yes, I doubt that your presence is particularly welcome anywhere." Elijah responds.

"My own brother greeting me with such disdain. What do you think, Freya? Is he still angry for my part in Hayley's curse? Need I remind him it was my ploy that kept her alive." Klaus says to the both of them.

"But of course. Forgive me. So you would call this an act of heroism, even as you bask in her torment?" Elijah asks facing him before walking past him.

"Perhaps I'd be more sympathetic if Hayley apologized. After all it was her that tried to run off with my daughter." Elijah takes a step closer as Freya stands up.

"Oh, if you two must poke at one another," she walks in between them with her hands on her hips. "May I suggest, doing it elsewhere?" Elijah glares at Klaus and walks away from him out of the room.
