I'm so excited to start this story : ) I really want the Klaus baby to be a baby girl. We need more girls in TVD/ The Originals. Plus, I would love to see Klaus's reaction to having a mini girl Klaus under his care, I would probably get a giggle attack.

Anyway, this is the first chapter of Erika, I apologize for any grammar mistakes, English is my second language so sometimes I have a little trouble.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to PM or review!


Chapter One: A Daughter and an Heiress

Whenever someone asked Klaus what gender he wanted his baby to be, he always said boy. The answer was fairly simple. Boy.

Why the hell would he want a baby girl?

With his luck she would probably be as brattish and manipulative as his own little sister, Rebekah. A boy was better.

They were easily trained and more capable of combat.

Little girls. . .well from past experience they usually burst into tears when Klaus stepped on a dog, he didn't think they would take kindly to know that Klaus once killed an entire village. Puppies and kittens included.

So he never, not in a millions years expected to have a. . .daughter.


The compelled nurse that was assisting Hayley during the birthing process finally stepped out. Really, how hard was it and how long could it take to give birth to a baby? You only had to pop it out.

"Where is he?" Klaus demanded at the tiny blond nurse in front of him. "Where is my son?"

"Now, Niklaus be patient," Elijah reassured him, trying not to get the compelled nurse killed. Lord, knew that patience wasn't in Klaus nature and that he wouldn't hesitate to rip someone's throat out. "Miss Elaine, has Hayley delivered a child?"

The nurse nodded. "But I'm afraid that it is not a boy."

Klaus's slight smile dropped and his eyes darkened. "What did you just say?"

"Miss Hayley gave birth to a baby girl-" the nurse didn't even finished her sentence before Klaus ripped out her heart and threw the body against the wall. He gave a loud, anguish scream as he pushed the door open.

There was Hayley, with a frightened expression in her eye, holding a tight, pink blanket in her arms. A pink blanket.

"You idiotic fool." he screamed at her. "What have you've done? You ruined me!"

"I can't control the gender, Klaus." Hayley protested trying to keep Klaus away from her newborn daughter. "It's not my fault."

Klaus screamed as he threw a vase to one of the vanity mirrors. The mirror cracked, but Hayley didn't even flinch as he stepped out of the room.

Elijah stepped in closer. He widened his dark eyes at the tiny bundle in Hayley's arm. "May I?"

Hayley nodded as she gave her daughter to Elijah, the kindest it seemed of the originals.

The weight of the bundle felt strange in Elijah's arms. It had been centuries since he had carried a baby.

But he liked the feeling of it as he tightened his grip on the baby in front of him. He couldn't believe that he was actually holding his niece. Never in a million years did he actually think he would have a niece.

The baby had the same pale dewy complexion as Klaus with a small amount of blond hair. Her eyes weren't fully open yet, but he detected dark irises like Hayley under the lids.

Then he heard a heart beating. A human baby.

Elijah smiled as he caressed the baby's cheek. "My brother is a fool."

Hayley gulped. "Will he kill me and my baby Elijah?"

Elijah paused as he looked at the baby again. "I don't know."


"I'm not in the mood, Elijah," Klaus warned. He was staring into the fireplace and cursing everyone that had come in his way whenever he wanted something and ended up ruining everything, the witches, the Salvatores, Katherine, Elena, the list could go on and on, but just recently this baby.

What was he suppose to do with the baby? Sing to her, rock her to sleep, tell her bedtimes stories? Klaus would rather just rip his own heart out.

It would have at least been bearable if he had had a son, he bitterly though.

"Niklaus, you must stop acting so childish," Elijah scolded as he approached the arm chair in where Klaus was seated on. "You're a father now to a very beautiful daughter."

"To hell with fatherhood." he spat. "The bastard is Hayley's problem now. Tell her that I want her and the baby out as soon as possible."

"I'm afraid that wont be possible." Elijah informed him. "Hayley is gone, but she left the baby."


"So sorry to be late for dinner," Klaus said as he stepped into the living room. His hands were drenched in blood as well as his clothes. He dumped a heart into the table in front of him. "I had to rip out Hayley's heart before she got too far. Wont happen again."

Rebekah turned around and that's when Klaus noticed that she was carrying the little infant, who now sprouting a bright pink knitted hat with yellow ducks and knitted boots thanks to Rebekah. "Do you really have to dispose of that in here?" she scowled as she kicked the heart to the floor. "It's very unsanitary especially to a little human baby."

Klaus paused. "Human?"

Rebekah nodded. "What? Elijah didn't mention that to you before you went to rip Hayley's heart out for abandoning your daughter in your care. Never did like her much."

"How is that possible?" he chocked out. "He. . .she was suppose be born an invincible creature, unique in it's kind. Not a measly human."

Rebekah shrugged. "The witches say it's another one of natures, should we say surprises. According to the witches she doesn't have neither vampire, hybrid, or werewolf genes in sight. She's fully human." Rebekah kissed the forehead on her little niece. "Have you thought about names yet? I was thinking Hannah, though Elijah likes the name Samantha. What do you think?

"I think you shouldn't even bother naming it." he said flatly. "Since she wont live into tomorrow."

Rebekah's face darkened. "Don't you dare, Niklaus. This baby is your daughter. Elijah's and my niece. She's family. Don't you dare kill her."

"Or what?" he demanded.

"Or I will find a way to kill you myself." she said simply as she placed the baby in Klaus's unsuspecting arms. "Take care of her please, I'm going to take a shower."

Klaus looked at the baby in his arms as if it were an insect. "What am I suppose to do with her?"

Rebekah stifled a laugh. "Bond."

Klaus stared at his daughter in his arms. She felt so vulnerable in his arms and so innocent. "Hello, there." he whispered. "I'm your dad."


"Erika."

Rebekah and Elijah looked up from their plates during breakfast the next morning.

Elijah paused. "Erika, who?"

"That's her name." he gulped as he stared at the baby that was placed on the tiny carriage next to Rebekah like a loyal puppy. "My daughter's name is Erika Carolyn Mikaelson. Erika means 'ever powerful or eternal ruler' and Carolyn means 'strong' in the Italian version. "

"Carolyn." Rebekah smirked over her toast. "I know who inspired the middle name."

Klaus scoffed. "Shut up."

Elijah blinked in disbelief. "Does that mean that you're keeping the baby-Erika?"

Klaus clapped a hand on his shoulder. "Of course that's what it means."
