His Savior [TVD/TO AU Fanfic]

Ch. 22 The Birth of the Charming Stag

Four months later, it is March 14, 979. 

Twenty-four-year-old Toril Mikaelson's stomach has grown to the point that she is ready to give birth at any day and time now. It is late in the evening when Toril felt something wet between her legs. Toril pulls her blanket to the side, and her eyes widened when she sees that her water broke. Toril turns her gaze to her husband, twenty-four-year-old Mikael, who is asleep beside her. Toril begins to shake Mikael as a scream comes out of her mouth when she felt an immense pain coming all over her stomach and thigh region. 

Mikael opens his eyes when he hears his wife screaming. Mikael sits up straight as his eyes widened when he sees Toril hugging herself. Mikael puts one hand on Toril's back while the other one is on the bed. Mikael blinks when he felt the bed sheets getting soaked, which lets him know that Toril's is in labor. 

" Toril. You are going into labor," Mikael quickly gets out of the bed to stand in front of his wife. " Let me wake the kids up so that they can go get Amaia and the Healer to help you with the birthing process," Mikael softly tells Toril since he doesn't want his wife to feel scared since it is her first pregnancy. 

Toril slowly nods her head as she lets Mikael lay her back down on the bed. Toril bites her lips as she tries her best not to scream anymore because she didn't want Freya and Finn to get scared. Tears fell from Toril's eyes because the pain is too much for her, but she is also happy because she will get to meet her child for the first time.  

" I will be back, Toril," Mikael kisses Toril's forehead as he runs out of their room to six-almost-seven-year-old Freya Mikaelson's bedroom. " Freya!" Mikael shouts, which causes Freya to wake up from her slumber. 

" Yes, Papa?" Freya yawns as she rubs her eyes with her little hands. 

" Go to the Healer's house and tell them that your mother is giving birth," Mikael sternly tells Freya. 

Freya's eyes widened when she hears that her mother is giving birth to her youngest sibling. Freya excitedly gets out of her bed as she puts on her furry boots, and she then runs passed Mikael. Freya smiled as she runs towards the Healer's house because she cannot wait to meet her new baby brother or sister. 

Mikael then runs to Finn's bedroom as he opens the door. 

" Finneas!" Mikael shouts, which causes Finn to wake up from his slumber. " Go to the Salvatore Family's house and tell Amaia that Toril needs her," Mikael sternly tells Finn. 

Finn quickly nods his head as he gets out of his bed to put his furry boots. Finn then runs out of his house and towards the Salvatore Family's home since Amaia is going to help the Healer with Toril's pregnancy. 

At the Healer's house, Freya excitedly knocks on the front door as she shouts at the Healer that her mother is in pain and that her baby brother or sister is going to be born. 

The door to the Healer's home opened, revealing the Healer, who is holding a medical bag. Freya excitedly walks with the Healer to her house since she cannot wait to meet her youngest sibling in person. 

At the Salvatore Family's house, Finn politely knocks on the front, and he smiles when he sees Xander Salvatore standing in front of him. 

" Lord Salvatore. Papa wants Lady Salvatore at the house because Mommy is having a baby," Finn politely tells Xander. 

Xander turns his head back to Amaia, who is walking out of their bedroom when she heard Finn's voice. 

" Your Mommy is having a baby," Amaia smiles at Finn as she walks up to him. " We should get going," Amaia picks Finn up as she walks out of the house. 

Xander left the house as well as he follows his wife and Finn to the Mikaelson Family's home. At the sound of Toril screaming, Amaia carefully passed Finn to Xander as she runs towards the master bedroom where the Healer and Mikael are helping Toril give birth. Xander noticed Freya looking at him from the couch as she smiled at him because she is excited to have another sibling since that means she would get to play with them. 

Xander gently puts Finn on the couch next to Freya. 

" Are you two excited to be older siblings?" Xander curiously asked Freya and Finn. 

Freya and Finn turned their gaze to look at each other as they smiled. Freya and Finn looked back at Xander as they honestly tell him that they are excited to have a baby brother or sister. 

" Have you guys thought of any names for your baby brother or sister?" Xander amusedly asked the two children. 

" If it's a girl. I want her name to be Pepper!" Freya smiles at Xander. 

" Pepper? That's not a bad name for a girl," Xander smiles at Freya as he turns his gaze to Finn. What about you, Finneas?" Xavier asked Finn. 

Finn quietly stares at Xavier as a small smile graced his face. 

" Sunny!" Finn happily tells Xavier. 

" Pepper Mikaelson and Sunny Mikaelson. Those names are beautiful," Xavier tells the two children, which causes them to smile. " What if you have a baby brother?" Xavier asked Freya and Finn. 

" Moose!" Freya and Finn happily tell Xander. 

Xander raised an eyebrow at the name. 

' Moose Mikaelson. That name is unique,' Xander amusedly tells himself. ' But I have a feeling that Mikael wouldn't want his son to have an animal's name,' Xander chuckles, which causes Freya and Finn to stare at him innocently. 

Many hours later, Freya and Finn fell asleep beside Xavier on the couch since Toril is still giving birth. It is an early morning of March 14, 979, as Toril used all of her strength to push her newborn out of her. Immediately Amaia caught the infant in her arms as she quickly bathes him. Mikael proudly stared at his wife as he turns his gaze to Amaia. Mikael softly smiles when he sees his child in her arms. 

" Amaia. The child. Is it a boy or a girl?" Mikael curiously asked Amaia. 

Amaia carefully held the infant in her arms as she turns to look at Mikael. 

" It's a boy," Amaia smiles at Mikael. 

Mikael smiles when he hears that Toril has given him a son. Mikael turns his gaze to his wife as he lovingly kisses her on the head. 

" Toril. We have a son. A son!" Mikael proudly tells Toril. 

Toril softly smiles at Mikael. 

" Lord and Lady Mikaelson. Have you decided on a name for your son?" The Healer curiously asked the couple while Amaia carefully placed the infant in Toril's arms. 

Toril holds her son close to her as she smiled when she sees him opening his eyes for the first time. Mikael turns his gaze to his wife and his son as his eyes widened when he sees the infant's eyes for the first time. 

' Those eyes. It is the same eyes as my older brother,' Mikael tells himself as a tear escaped his eyes. 

Toril turns her gaze to Mikael as she frowns when she sees a tear escaped his eyes. 

" My love. What is wrong?" Toril worriedly asked Mikael. 

" I am okay. Toril. I know what to name our son," Mikael tells Toril. 

Toril smiles at Mikael. 

" What would be our son's name?" Toril asked Mikael. 

" From now on, our son shall be known as Elijah. Elijah Mikaelson," Mikael proudly tells everyone in the room as he gently brushed Elijah's cheek with his finger.
