THIRD POV
As she expected the next day Klaus showed up asking for an explanation. Klaus had shown up alone to her surprise. For the first five minutes they just sat in silence. It was a comfortable silence not awkward like they both had expected. "Why?" Klaus asked. "Your family is always causing trouble. You have thousands of enemies everywhere. I considered telling you but by the time I wanted to you were long gone" she stopped for a second.
"You didn't come back and apologize or anything. You simply left. And then to my luck I heard the surprising news. Klaus Mikaelson was gonna be a father to a beautiful little girl. And then she "died". I felt so bad because you had lost your daughter but that made me realized that I had to protect my sons, even if that meant protecting them from you, their father. And you can blame me and hate me if you want to. But I did what I had to to keep my sons safe. And you know what they were and they always have been my top priority" she told him.
"Perhaps it was selfish of me to had kept them from you. But look at Hope. How much she had to suffer because of all the enemies you had made. I wasn't gonna let my children have the same fate as her" she stated. Klaus didn't speak again. He was processing what she had told him. He wanted to hate her but she was right. Hope had spent her entire life hidden and running away because of her family's enemies. "They know about you. They always have. Since they were little. I told them the good things about you. The good things I knew and had seen about Klaus Mikaelson. Not the big bad hybrid but Klaus. But of course I couldn't keep anything hiding. Other people had very open opinions about you, especially Damon" she said with a smile, one that he returned.
"I want to be involved in their lives" Klaus stated. "Well, that's not up to me. It's up to them really. If that's what they want. They will allow you to be involved in their lives. But I won't force them" she told him and he nodded. Again they were in a comfortable silence. "I am sorry you know?" he said/asked. She didn't reply she just stared at him. "I don't know how Hayley and I happened. I loved you and even after all this time I still do. I wish things would've turned out different. I love Hope and I wouldn't change her for anything in the world. She made a better person" Arabella just smiled.
When Klaus broke her heart she hated him. Well, not really. She could be mad at someone but she could never hate anyone even if she wanted to. That was a beautiful gift according to her. Everyone else thought it was a curse because she was too forgiving. "I know. A long time has passed Klaus. We're different people. I'm the same person I was when we first met a thousand years ago, and almost eighteen years ago. I've changed and grown as a person, and so have you. And I'm happy that you're happy" she stated with a smile meaning she meant it.
