The secret Mikaelson child

Family drama at the ball part.2

I reluctantly took his hand as he led me out to the floor, he held me close as he whispered in my ear softly, "miss French quarter... I'm guessing this means your mother told you about your family history?"

"she did," I noticed over Klaus's shoulder that Mum and Xavier were marching towards us in a rushed manner, once she reached us she practically ripped me out of his arms

"Stay away from my daughter!" she hissed

"Maya, how lovely to see you again after all these years, glad you could make it" he stopped talking to look my mother up and down, "might I say you look ravishing this evening" He replied,

"She said stay away from our daughter"

Klaus grinned wildly whilst wagging his finger at Xavier "see I knew the way you two reacted at dinner was strange... even for your standard Xavier."

"What do you want Klaus?" my mum snarled towards him, I don't understand where all this anger is coming from, I mean yes I know the man is dangerous but shouldn't she feel better now that she has dad back? he's on her side and not Klaus's.

"Dance with me Maya" Klaus continued nonchalantly, I could tell Xavier was about to kick off, he stepped up to Klaus and growled, "down boy, now you're going to sit and let me dance with your ex-wife." I watched in shock as Xavier backed down and sat down at a nearby table scowling at Klaus whilst he continued to flirt with my mum. "Now about that dance Maya?"

"No!" I shout at him, "look, Elijah told me what you had planned tonight Klaus and I'm telling you it won't work, you're not going to get her back, not on my watch."

Mum turned and placed her hands on my cheeks "Baby go sit down with your father, try and I don't know calm him down."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm just going to talk to him, go to your father now please."

I walk away and sit next to my dad as we watch her dance with Klaus Mikaelson, I place my hand over his and intertwine them then squeeze gently, he looked down at me and smiled softly, "you know the day that she left, it broke me..." he looked down at his feet "I'm not going to sit and lie to you and say I was a great husband to your mom... after I turned into a hybrid, my emotions were at an all-time high, love, happiness, pain, but also anger and hunger. Come kiddo let's go for a walk."

we were outside on the balcony, looking over the fields and the sky... the crescent moon was out, and the air smelled like pine and autumn leaves, I breathed in the scent deeply, "So... the Benjamin kid huh?"

"Weren't we going to talk about you and mums relationship and not mine?" I laugh towards him

He was staring out over the balcony as he taunted "yes but a father is allowed to be curious..." his grin faded as he continued "anyway back to our story, your mother being stubborn as always stuck by me, even when it was dangerous to love me, I almost attacked her once, when my hunger got really bad." He inhaled and stared into the ballroom "I came home one day and she's gone... I thought we were starting to get better, but I guess I screwed things up beyond repair." I watched him intensely, mum obviously never spoke to me about her marriage and it was almost the least of our problems with recent discoveries. "Then nine months later, she sends me divorce papers..."

"Did you even fight for her...for us?"

"Of course I fought for her, she's the love of my life, honestly Y/n if I knew your mother was pregnant I would've been there for her, for you both." We were watching mum dance with Klaus, it looked like they were arguing, but dad kept talking "I went to your grandmothers' house to look for her, her dad told me she left the country, but I didn't believe them, she wouldn't just leave me, I went back every day for three months hoping she would come back." he breathed out and rubbed his temples gently "I finally accepted that she wasn't coming back, that she was gone and never returning"
