His Perfect Daughter

Chapter 52

*Three months have passed since then. This is set on a Friday morning, October 25th, 2019.

"Dad...I don't want to go." Hope mumbled as she hid her face in the covers.

"We've had this conversation before. You need to keep up appearances. What is different about today?" Niklaus sighed as he sat next to her.

"Nothing. I just don't want to go today. I've been good! I haven't miss a day. Can't I just miss today?" Hope whined as she rubbed the area beneath her belly button.

"If you give me a good reason, I might consider it." Niklaus stated.

"Well...I'm not feeling good. That's all. I'm sure it'll be gone by Monday." Hope explained. Her period had just started and it's been a strange few months ever since her father started knotting when they did have sex. She's been having irregular period cycles, becoming so tired, and developed morning sickness among else. Hope thought these added symptoms were simply caused by her sudden irregular periods. But there was a small part of her that had a paranoid conspiracy theory she needed to rule out. So she decided to book a visit with the devil herself-Helena.

"Is this your time of the month? How come you haven't complained about this in the last few months?" Niklaus probed. He knew as soon as she said the words "it'll be gone by Monday" that meant period. After all, he did have to do unspeakable things to she who shall not be named numerous times during her cycles and babysit her until it was over. He already knew how to spot a female on her period.

"Ugh. I shouldn't be talking to you about this. It's weird and embarrassing." Hope moaned as she sat up.

"Nature is not weird or embarrassing, Hope. I know more about this than you do." Niklaus stated in a matter-of-a-fact way.

"Now it's even more weird when you say it like that. And oooh really?" Hope scoffed.

"Yes, Hope. Do not deflect. Answer me." Niklaus asserted.

"I told you....I don't know. It just is like that sometimes." Hope lied.

"What? Skipping months? This could be a serious matter that requires proper attention." Niklaus expressed.

"Like I said...it's like that sometimes. Don't be so dramatic. If I thought it was serious I would tell you." Hope shrugged as she got out of bed. She wanted to whine so bad. The cramps hurt like hell. The worst one yet. But she didn't want to make the situation worse. She just wanted to get out of there and find Helena. "Nevermind dad. I change my mind. I don't mind going to school." She voiced as Hope turned around and looked at him. She then walked over to her closet and started gathering her clothes.

"Alright. We will look into this when you get back. You are not off the hook." Niklaus disclosed as he got up from her bed and walked out of her room.

Thank god I put up a cloaking spell. The last thing she needed was him sniffing her blood. Not that he would. Hope mentally laughed. Little did she know. Off to find my least favorite person. Hope groaned as she started dressing.

"Need an advil with that?" Helena joked as she saw an annoyed Hope marching up to her.

"Of course you know." Hope rolled her eyes as she continued, "Okay. Okay. That makes this simple then. What is going on with me?" She panicked.

"You kidding right?" Helena mocked.

"No. I'm not. I don't know why I've been missing my cycles and when they do come...it's irregular. And some other weird stuff I've been feeling." Hope explained as she bit her lip.

"Has your daddy been knotting it up?" Helena laughed.

"Ew! Seriously? How much do you know?" Hope shrieked.

"I have....little birds. Anyway, answer the question." Helena gestured for her to continue.

"Then you already know the answer." Hope sassed.

"Oh-ho. Someone's acting a lot like her daddy. I like it. Spunky." Helena mocked. "Now answer or I won't give you the information you want." She asserted.

Hope rolled her eyes at that statement. She was still a little bothered by whatever her father's history was with this woman. "Fine...yes. Why is that important?" She asked.

"Ya got a lot to learn about wolves, kid." Helena grinned as she pat Hope's shoulder. "His wolf already recognized the situation your wolf is in. Niklaus might not know, but his wolf does. Same with you." She shrugged.

"Umm I'm confused. That really didn't help." Hope quirked her brow as she continued, "you mean my period?"

"That and your uh...unique situation." Helena smirked as she started circling around Hope.

"What situation?" Hope probed.

"Hm. Ya really don't know anything. Maybe you should ask your daddy. It's for the best. Cause I sure as hell ain't telling you." Helena laughed as she crossed her arms.

"My dad obviously doesn't know anything either! So what's the point of that?" Hope voiced.

"He might not, but he does know about wolves. Ask him about knotting. Tell me....does he do it out of his own free will?" Helena questioned, already knowing the answer. She should know. She's been there before.

"No...why?" Hope answered. She was starting to fear what this conversation might lead to.

"Then there's only one reason why he'd be knotting. Ask him. But don't let him know you're asking about yourself." Helena stated.

"Why can't you just tell me? Hope huffed annoyed.

"Cause I don't want to. Rather ya hear it from him." Helena shrugged with a smug grin.

"Well thanks for nothing. Now I have to go." Hope groaned as she chanted the location spell to her school.

"Oh no Hope....thank you." Helena replied after Hope left, with the most sinister smile on her face. Gotta get Davina on the line. Hell maybe even check up on a few things with Cary. It's all going as planned. Never thought I'd say this but thank fuck for prophecies. It might have screwed me over once but not this time! Helena rejoiced.
