months later, a heavily pregnant Saga sat watching Niklaus and Elijah play fight with their swords. "sister has arrived to watch my fast approaching victory." Elijah smirked at his younger brother as Rebekah approached with Henrik. "On the contrary Elijah," Nik smugly replied as he cut Elijah's belt signalling he won, "she's come to laugh at you." The family all shared a small laugh as Niklaus went over to Saga and rubbed her frame where their child was currently resting. "Relax Mikael, Niklaus means well." Esther spoke to her husband. "That is precisely my problem." Mikael spoke back, moving towards the siblings as Niklaus moved away from Saga. Holding his hand out for the sword, Mikael took it from Elijah's hold. "So, why don't you teach me that trick, young warrior?" Mikael spoke before starting a sword fight with Nik. "Father, we were just having fun." Niklaus said, subtly signalling for his wife to move away from harms way. "We fight for our survival and you find time for fun?! I want to have fun teach me, come on." Mikael said provoking Niklaus. "Come on, it was nothing." Nik spoke calmly, setting Mikael off as he began to take swings at Nik again. Mikael had knocked Nik off of his feet and put a sword to his throat. "You are foolish and impulsive, my boy." Nik was scared from his place on the ground, "what? No more laughter." "You've made your point Mikael." Esther stated with a calm face, unbothered by her husband's harsh acts towards her son while Saga was mortified despite having seen Mikael's rage against Niklaus before. Mikael stabbled the sword into the ground beside Nik's head before speaking "some days, it's a miracle your still alive boy" before stalking off, leaving Niklaus to pant and tear up in fear. "Nik." Saga whimpered moving over to her husband, stopping as Nik stood up so she didn't get on the ground. "I'm ok, love." "Are you sure, he was so cruel to you my love." she asked placing her hands on his cheeks which he grasped in his own, holding them there before lightly kissing her lips. "I am sure, let's go home. You need rest my love." "Brother," Elijah began moving towards the two with Rebekah, before Nik interrupted. "I'm ok brother, sister. We're going home if you'd like to join us." "We will leave you two alone." Elijah replied, signalling Rebekah and Henrik to follow him.
"He's so cruel to you my love, I wish I could have helped you." Saga whispered as she held Nik, his arms wrapped around her from behind careful of her stomach as he buried his head in her neck covering it with hot tears as the streams ended on her skin. "You would have put you and our child in danger my love, I would never forgive myself if something happened." His voice cracked as he held her tighter, fearful of his family's safety at the hands of his father "You could never put us in harms way, you are too kind Nik. I love you." "I love you Saga."
Sweat was beading down Saga's forehead as she took sharp intakes of breathe. The pain in her uterus was becoming unbearable as her child's head was forcing it's way out of her body. "Mother, I can't do this. I need Nik." "You have to do this darling, it's too late now." Saga had begun having contractions the night before but thought nothing of it as her water hadn't broke and they were far apart. However, when visiting her family, her water broke which led to her mother and sister aiding her while Kol, who had accompanied Saga to her families house, sought out Nik. "It hurts too much. Liv please make it stop I can't" "Sister please, you have to." "Push Saga, you need to push." Pushing as hard as her weak body would let her, Saga felt like she would faint from the pain.She had been pushing for over an hour, wondering where Kol and Nik were at that moment. Her body felt like it was on fire as she gave a final push, delivering her child which her mother picked up and cut the umbilical cord of as the child began to cry. Saga got cleaned up as much as she could after the whole process of birthing the placenta was done. "It's a girl." Her mother told her handing her the child, smiling with tears in her eyes. "Wow. She's amazing-" Saga was cut off by a panting Nik coming into the house. "Saga I-" "Shhh. It's ok, come and meet our daughter." "A girl?" Nik questioned tearing up as he took the small baby into his arms. "Tove" she whispered back, enamoured with the sight of her husband holding her daughter. " Tove, my little dove." he whispered lightly moving the small baby up and down as she began to cry. "I love you my dove, so much." Tears staining his face as he looked at her features, a mix of him and his wife. "I think she's hungry." Saga told him, taking the baby out of his outstretched arms.
Moving Saga back to their house was a struggle due to the pain she was feeling, but they slowly made it back to their home with their daughter. "Why were you so late Nik? I sent Kol out an hour before you came." Saga whispered looking over the child. "I was with Elijah my dear." He replied quickly, as though he had practised what he would say. "You should rest, I will look after her." "Goodnight Nik." "Goodnight love."
Nik walked through the village receiving congratulations for the birth of his daughter while feeling an uneasy feeling in his chest. "Kol-" Nik caught up with his younger brother, putting a hand on his shoulder. Kol turned and punched him in the face when he knew it was Nik. The two were out of sight from the village, Kol had made sure of that. "You are a no good cheater, you've been sneaking of with Tatia this whole time. I am going to tell Saga, you cannot convince me otherwise." "Brother you will break her heart please. I beg you, don't tell her." "She is my bestfriend and you missed the birth of your daughter for some whore." "Don't call her that." "Your pathetic Nik, Saga will know the truth." Kol replied before speedily walking away and towards the house Nik and Saga shared now with their daughter.
"How long?" Saga muttered as Nik walked in the door, head down like a kicked puppy. "Sweethea-" "How long?!" "Since the beginning, I was going to stop when i found out you were pregnant but we had that fight and I went back." "Get out of my sight." "Love-" "Go away" Saga shouted, tears rolling down her cheeks at the betrayal by her husband. Walking out of their home towards his family's, he felt nothing but shame and regret. He didn't even love Tatia anymore, he loved Saga. His wife, who had just been informed of her husbands whereabouts while she painfully gave birth to their daughter without him. Looking up, he caught Kol's eyes who simply turned and stomped away.
