Chapter 16: the big true and the secret in the coffin

When Meredith and Elijah got in to the new Mikaelson's house, they find Klaus sitting on a sofa in the living room. There was a chandelier hanged from the ceiling, and beautiful paintings on the walls, she assumed that most of them were painted by Klaus.

"Nicklaus." Said Elijah, getting his brother attention. "Hi." Said Klaus, looking mostly at Meredith. "Hi." She said softly. "I will leave you to talk, call me if you need me," said Elijah. Meredith kissed his cheek and he left.

"You are closed." Klaus stated. "Yes, but we are not dating." She told him. "What about us?" he asked sadly, knowing that he ruined their relationship. "It depends on your reaction for what I need to tell you." She answered. He nodded. "Have a seat." He said and she sat next to him.

"Remember what Gloria told me about us, about you?" she asked. "Yes, that we are in love, and that I am a monster." He answered. "There is more." She said. "More?" he asked confused. "She told me that she can feel the presence of the abomination that growing inside me." Said Meredith.

Klaus frowned. "You got pregnant from me? It's impossible! I am a vampire!" he protested. "You born to a blood line of werewolves. They can have kids, and so are you." She said quietly. If he ever loved her at all, now it's over. He doesn't want her, or her baby, she thought to herself sadly.

"Cakes." He said suddenly. "What?" she asked confused. "That is the reason you started to eat cakes, the pregnancy dose it to you, right?" he asked. "Yes." She answered. "But it has been a long time since you got pregnant, how can you hide it?" asked Klaus, cocking his head, curiosity in his eyes. "Wide dresses and it easier when you have no friends." She said sadly.

"I am sorry. I know it's my fault that they left you all alone." Said Klaus. "No, that was all me. I think that I over reacted a bit. I get sensitive when it comes to you." She said in a smile. "I love you. Both of you." He suddenly said. Meredith was surprised. She didn't expect him to react this way. "I love you too." She said and kissed his lips.

Klaus put his head on her chest. She smiled and stroked his curls.

"Hello Nick." Said a voice from the stairs. Meredith and Klaus looked up. On the stairs stand four people. Rebecca and Elijah, and the other two men that Meredith didn't knew and assumed that their names were Finn and Kol.

Klaus straightened up, staring at his angry siblings. "Ho, Meredith, my friend that left me stubbed." Said Rebecca. "Her no, sister." Said Elijah. "Why not? She is a traitor exactly like him." Said Rebecca. "I am a traitor?! I helped you, I was nice to you. And when I asked you if the ones that used to be my friends are up to something, you told me it going to be o.k. while you knew they are planning to kill Nick, and you knew how I feel about him." Said Meredith, tears are in her eyes.

"Calm down, love." Said Klaus, worried. "I don't care about your problems girls, but I was locked up for almost a century, and I am pissed off." Said Kol. "Stand in line brother, I was locked up for nine hundred years, and I want my revenge." Said Finn. "Well, I am a vampire huntress, and if you touch my boyfriend, I will snap your necks, deal?" said Meredith, irritated. She felt bad. All the excitement and anger didn't work well for her.

Meredith put a hand on her belly and Elijah was by her side immediately. She took deep breaths trying to calm down. "What's wrong?" asked Elijah. "Nothing, it going away, we are o.k." she said. "I will get you some water," said Elijah. "Thanks." She said. "Who is 'we'?" asked Rebecca. "Me and my baby," said Meredith, stroking her belly. "Our baby," Klaus corrected. She smiled.

"What?!" said Kol. "I am pregnant, from Nick." Said Meredith and took the glass of water from Elijah. "Brother did you hear her?" asked kol staring at Elijah. "Yes. And it's true. I know Meredith, and she is not a liar." Said Elijah. "But he-" started Rebecca and trailed off. "Is a hybrid?" Elijah completed her sentence. "Ha. A Baby. That's why you are so… not you." Said Kol. Meredith smiled, and wrapped her arms around Klaus. He smiled too, and stroked her face.

A door that opened made every one turned their heads. A woman came in and Meredith felt Klaus frizzing next to her. "Mother?" said Elijah, confused. "How-" Rebecca shook her head. "Hello," she said. Meredith watched the woman carefully. She had a long brown hair, and she wear a long, old style, dress. She didn't trust her.

"How did you come back?" asked Meredith directly. "Meredith Sulez. The huntress. I have watched you for a while on the other side." Said Esther. "You didn't answer my question." Said Meredith. "A witch I knew preserved my body, and I channeled the Bennett powers to come back." Said Esther. "And the purpose?" asked Meredith. "The purpose? I came to forgive my son, to unite my family. I watched them for a thousand years, lost, separated. It time to reunite." Said Esther. "That's a good purpose." Said Meredith. She didn't believe Esther, not at all.

Meredith touched her belly. The baby was anxious. "What's wrong love?" asked Klaus. "Nothing, he is a bit not calm." She said. "Maybe you should have some rest." Said Klaus. "Maybe." She answered. Klaus help her to get in to one of the rooms upstairs.

The room was big, with a lot of paintings on the walls, chandelier hanged above the huge bed, doors that led to a bathroom, glass doors that opened to the balcony, and a big closet. On each side of the bed were bed side tables with drawers, and table lamp on each one.  

"What do you think?" asked Klaus. "It's lovely." Said Meredith. Klaus stand behind her, wrapping his arms around her belly. "It's our room. And we can put a crib over there," he pointed on the left side of the room. "I love it Nicky." She said with tears. "Don't cry." He said softly. "I don't want to, it's the hormones." She said. He chuckled. Meredith smiled.

They lay face to face, as they loved to do while talking. "Do you believe her?" she whispered. "I don't know." He answered. She stroked his hair. "But you really want to." She said softly. "Yes." He answered. "If she will hurt you, I will send her back to her coffin." Said Meredith. "Deal." Said Klaus and kissed her.

Knock on the door interrupted their conversation. "Come in," said Meredith. Elijah stepped in to the room. He looked around for a moment. "Nice room." He stated. "Elijah?" asked Meredith. "Yes?" he said looking at her. "Sit. You look like you are still in the coffin." Said Meredith. "Ho." He said but stayed standing. "Elijah sit," she chuckled. He sat on the edge of the bed.

"Do you believe Esther?" asked Elijah. "No." said Meredith. "Me neither," said Elijah. Klaus got closer to Meredith, stroking her belly. "Nicklaus?" asked Elijah. "Mmm?" hummed Klaus. "Are you listening to what we say?" asked Elijah. "No." said Klaus, rolling his eyes.

"She has decided to make a ball and invited the whole town." Said Elijah. "When?" asked Meredith. "Tomorrow night." He replied. "Fine. She wants to play games, let's play." Said Meredith, devilish smile on her face.

Elijah and Klaus exchanged glances of worry. They didn't know who they should worry about, the huntress or the witch.
