About an hour later, Klaus stormed into our room.
“I swear I'll kill him! And Rebekah too!” He hugged me tightly, his eyes were golden. “What did he told you Care?” It was really rare when he would call me by the diminutive, it was just for jokes or when he was seriously angry.
“We just had a little talk. And he has no idea who the father is, he didn’t even ask that.”
“Still, Caroline.” He kissed me gently on the forehead. “You need more protection and I am the only person who can give it to you. I'll leave the guard Marcel.”
“No. Klaus!” I exclaimed. “Don’t do it.” I took a deep breath. “I know the importance of this 'empire' for you... I know how to defend myself, and I'm with Rebekah and the twins when they're here and I'm with Kylie, today was the only day that she wasn’t here because she had to go somewhere with your brother. I'll be fine. You cannot deprive your dreams for me.”
“But that's the point, Caroline, you are my biggest dream, and then it's our son, I have to be here, something bad can happen to you both.”
“Then stay with him, like that you can discover his plans. With me, you can do nothing.” I kissed him. “I'll be fine. We will be fine.”
“Yes.” He said, in a whisper. “And how’s our little girl today?” He asked, looking down, placing his warm hand on my belly.
“Well, I thought that she or he was going to behave worse since it was a tiring day, because I have been gardening.”
“You should not push yourself so much.”
“It was nothing more, I am careful and aware of what I can or can’t do.”
“That didn’t prevent you to be tired.”
“I'm fine!”
He turned on the television. “Do you want to watch a movie?”
“Yes.”
“Which one?”
“You may choose.”

Just 10 days.
It was only at that very moment when I started worrying about what should worry me through the days.
“Jane, Joanne, I need to go to town!”
“Don’t think that we will go with you without Klaus’ permission. He kill us if he discovers. If you want to go, talk to him first.”
I hated it whenever I wanted to do something I had to ask permission, but I understood.
“Whatever you want.” I called him. “Klaus?”
“Yes, Caroline? It's everything okay?”
“Yes, just wanted to ask if I could go to town.”
“To do what?”
“Klaus, 10 days left for the child birth... I haven’t got anything, no clothes, no bed, nothing. I need some basic things.”
“As you want, you may go. But ask Jane, Joanne, and take Rebekah to go with you, she loves to shop and she can protect you better.”
“I was thinking of taking her anyway. See you.”
I hung up, I asked Rebekah, I got dressed and she drove us all the way to the city center.
***
The doorbell echoed throughout the store.
A woman of small stature, dark skin, with a friendly air, soon appeared. To my amazement the woman was a witch.
“Is he your first child?” She asked me.
“Yes, he is.”
And probably the last. – I thought.
“I do not want to intrude in your life, but your child won’t have the best environment to grow if you are always surrounded by vampires, including an Original.”
I looked longingly at her. “I’m begging you, I just want the clothes and toys and I will go away. Can you help me? Please.”
“Of course.” She took me to the section of clothes. “Is it a boy or girl?”
“I don’t know, me and my boyfriend decided that we didn’t want to know. We want you to be surprised.”
“There are a few who think so, and your choice is curious. Well” she looked to the tiny clothes “it's better to give you clothes for both sexes, I recommend the baby blue and yellow.” I said yes with my head.
I bought diapers, bibs, hats, socks, shoes, hair brushes, baby bottles, things for skin care, and many other tools that I could need.
When I was paying all the things and my friends already had the bags of purchases in hand, the short woman spoke to me again. “When is he or she going to be born?”
“I don’t know, but probably in 10 days.”
“Good luck.”
