Mrs Mikaelson

Chapter 74

They had a bit of a relay station going. Kol was gathering tourists to compel and bring into the compound as Isa lay on the sofa, her head pillowed in Nik's lap. He would bite the wrist of the person presented to them and press it to Isa's mouth as she drank them just shy of being dry before Elijah would either take them away to be healed or turned. Marcel had agreed to take in the few that would turn whilst he waited for Rebekah and Katherine to arrive at his loft and escort him and Hope over to the compound. Freya was in the kitchens as she worked on a tonic that would help replenish strength for both Isa and the baby.

"How did this even happen?" Elijah asked as he caught the eighth tourist that his sister had fed on, Kol walking in to add two more people to the group of four waiting to be eaten. Isa was still barely able to move, save for her hands that held down the wrist to her mouth.

Nik sighed before he answered with, "Sparing you all the gory details, there was a moment the night of your wedding. Kol had wanted to spend time with Hope and Davina, which meant Isa and I got some time to ourselves, so you can connect the dots."

Elijah chuckled but it was Kol that said, "I see not one, but both of my big brothers got lucky on the same night.

Both brothers rolled their eyes at Kol as Elijah replied, "Is it really considered 'getting lucky' when the women we sleep with are our wives?"

Kol merely shrugged in response. "I'd assume so, especially on Nik's behalf. How dear Icy has put up with you for the last thousand years will forever be a wonder."

"I can't wait to see what our dear little brother will be like when he finally places a ring on the finger of his witchy companion," Nik said jovially to his big brother who laughed and Kol rolled his eyes. The boys were snapped out of their happy moment by Isa coughing as she pushed away the twelfth person that she just started eating.

Nik was instantly rubbing her back as she coughed up the last of the white ash still in her lungs, along with a little blood, before collapsing onto him in exhaustion. "What in hell is wrong with me now?" she asked tiredly wiping the blood from her lips and her husband and brothers merely smiled knowingly at her.

"Well, my love, it would seem you suffer from the same ailment as last time. Turns out that our little tryst the night of the wedding had a small side effect," Nik began and Isa's eyes widened as she sat up properly as the gears in her mind turned.

"Are you telling me that I'm -"

"Pregnant. Again," Kol finished with a smirk.

"So, it would seem," Elijah added.

Isa groaned. "I knew there was something I forgot to do," she exclaimed as she leaned her head onto Nik's shoulder, referring to the tonic she'd forgotten to take and also hadn't had the time to take recently.

Nik only laughed as he kissed her head. "Well love, considering that your head has been concocting the most genius, deceptive, and diabolical plan ever, no one is mad that you forgot to take a measly little potion," Nik promised.

"With Kol now alive and Freya returned to us, we now have even more hands to help you. Freya already assured us that your baby is in perfect health, the magic in you and in your child seemed to have protected it. You will not be alone in this, Isa," Elijah promised as he stuck his hands in his pockets and Isa turned to him, simply blinking as if she expected him to say more. "And," he began, and rightly so. "I have bid my brother my apologies, but to you, sister, whom I have gravely wronged twice in our long lifetime, I understand if my apology is not enough for you. But I am so very sorry for what I did. Truly."

Isa took a deep breath as Elijah's heart became stuck in his chest and he waited for her verdict. "Your actions were indeed abhorrent, Elijah. I will never understand what possessed you to believe you had the right to make decisions for me or for my daughter, but I'm sure Nik made you pay accordingly for your actions. So, provided it never happens again, and you have either Nik or me around whenever you are with my children, I'm willing to let this be water under the bridge."
