Niklaus Mikaelson has had many titles in his long life: son, bastard, brother, wolf, vampire, hybrid, king; but none of them had sounded so good and had meaned so much as the title of father.
He has two children. The first one is Marcellus, a child he took under his wing, who he taught how to be just like himself, a child who became a man, then a vampire. Although Marcel had tried, with Rebekah, to kill him, then had taken his kingdom and refused to hand it over when the time came, he will never regret having raised that boy, his son, because it was one of the few, pure and right actions he had made in life.
Then Hope came into the picture and everything changed, like an impossible, scary and yet, wonderful dream that became true. She brought all the fears he thought forgotten with Marcel, but the worst fear that she brought was the fear of losing her, because since the womb his baby's life has been on the fire line, treated by vampires, wolves, witches and even by him, her own father.
Yes, as a father, he knows that he could never murder Marcel because that would be like murder a precious part of himself, a part that he could not live without, but as a father he also knows that parenthood means sacrifice, and if living without Hope meaned that she would be safe, he would do it.
So he sent his daughter with his sister and for months he planed how to make New Orleans a safe place for his littlest wolf, then a worry Rebekah called talking about a disturbed Elijah and the possible danger of that situation. The next thing that he knew is that he is holding a beautiful baby and falling in love with her little smiling face. And he saw, in the smile of Hayley, Rebekah and Elijah, the effect of the little girl on his family.
But nothing last forever, at least not for him and his family.
Maybe it was the emotion of meeting their daughter.
Maybe it was the stress of the situation
Maybe both.
Their world in New Orleans revolved around witches, vampires and wolves, but they didn't pay attention to the hunters. They only thought that the humans of the Big Easy were that, mere humans, food. They didn´t pay attention to the faces that some of these humans made when they saw them. They didn´t pay attention.
These special humans knew all about the war between the species in the city and they knew about the miracle baby even after her birth and "death", and they knew about the anti-location spell put in the baby by one of the witch 'friend' of her aunt. Their anonymity gave them the opportunity to make a plan, a strategy to save a little baby from a city and a family full of tragedy and blood, knowing that it would cost their lives. So they put the plan in action and it worked.
The day that the Mikaelson family murdered an entire society of hunters, was the day that the monsters inside of them shone in all their glory, but they needed answer, so they left one alive, surprisingly the only member left was a warlock.
"Oh great, he can´t be compelled!" Rebekah said
"Where is she?" Niklaus asked to the bruised man on the floor, ignoring his sister
"Whe….where i..i..is who?" The man asked back, spitting blood in the process. If he had had the strange, he would have used his magic , but he was barely alive
"You know who, so start talking!. Where is my baby?!" spat Hayley
" We were celebrating that we killed… the abo..mination that you called ba..ba..baby. The world is dark enough with creatu…res such as you walking on it, we didn´t need ano..ther one. " And we that the man died in the hands of a furious, sad and aching original hybrid.
Niklaus Mikaelson, as a father, knows the pain of seeing your own child suffer, but he had never suffered a pain like the one he felt when the fear of losing Hope became true. He failed her and he lost her. Always and Forever.
Alma Pursi and Javier Bandor knew that their family wasn´t complete, so they decided to adopt another baby. They were already blessing, five years ago, with Gonzalo. They put in order all their papers, went through all the psychology tests and waited. They knew that the adoption process could be long, so when the agency called three weeks later telling them that their daughter was waiting for them, the surprise and excitement filled them.
" Es hermosa, espera hasta que tus abuelos te vean, todos hemos estado esperandote mi amor (she's beautiful, wait until your grandparents see you, we all have been waiting for you my love )" said Alma when she hold her baby girl for the first time.
"Mira Gonzalo, ella es tu hermanita(Look Gonzalo, she's your little sister)" Javier said to the little boy in his arms.
"Antes de nombrarla, queríamos que supieran que la niña venia con una nota que tenía escrito su nombre, un nombre americano( Before you name her, we want you to know that she came with a note, which had written her name, an american name)" The couple looked curiously at the agent.
"¿Y cuál es su nombre? (And what is her name?)" said Javier looking at his new baby.
"Hope".
