Elena POV
Bonnie started to laugh, while clutching her stomach. Any other day, this would be amusing and laughable, but its not. "Bonnie, I'm serious! Please, stop laughing." I said. I was seriously agitated.
Bonnie calmed herself. "Elena, you its not possible for a vampire to procreate, especially for a female." She said.
I stood up and started to pace, running my hand through my hair. "I would totally agree with you Bonnie, if wasn't hearing a live heartbeat coming from my Uterus. And don't if it is my heart. I can tell the difference." I said. I trying to make up every excuse in the book to deny this, but ultimately it wasn't true.
Bonnie started to grow serious. "Are you absolutely sure about this Elena? " Bonnie said.
"Yes, I'm sure about this. Don't get me wrong, the whole baby situation is quite freaky, but how am I going to tell Elijah. I can't show up and say, 'Elijah, Guess what? You earned yourself a baby momma! Lets play house!' I barely have life under control and fate wants to through a baby in there." I said. I plopped back on the couch. I closed my eyes and relaxed against the couch.
"So, what are you going to do regarding the child?" Bonnie said, always being practical.
"Obviously, I never expected to have children, because of my life. Now that I know, I can feel this bond forming. I know I want to keep the child, no doubt, but it still overwhelming." I said.
Bonnie grabbed my hand and squeeze it. "Do you know when you want to tell Elijah?" Bonnie asked.
"I do not know. My heart tells me to do it right away. My head is the opposite. Once this baby become known, not only will it adopt The Mikaelsons' enemies, but Katherine's also, because we share the same face. I know how much family means to him, but I have to put the child first, right?" I said.
"My opinion is to tell him and talk your fears over with him. You are barely showing, so this will be the perfect time to make those plans now." Bonnie said.
I smiled at her. "When did you become so wise?" I said.
"When life forced me to grow up." Bonnie said. This look of somber came across Bonnie's face. I grabbed her hand.
"I'm sorry, Bonnie. I don't know how you can look at me knowing I'm the reason her family is gone." I said. My eyes started to tear.
"Elena, I'm not going to lie, I was angry, but you wasn't the one to kill them. I forgave you, Elena. Nothing to fret over anymore." Bonnie said. I pull her into a hug.
For the rest of the night, we talked and watched movies on the couch. When Bonnie finally went to sleep, I was still restless. I rubbed my hands over my belly and smiled. "I'm sorry you have to be born in this mess. I'm a mess." I said. I looked over to Bonnie and this idea struck me. I shook Bonnie awake. "Bonnie! Wake up!" I said.
Bonnie peeked her eyes open. "Hmm?" She moaned.
"I'm leaving for New Orleans. You want to come?" I said.
Bonnie sat up and looked at me liked I lost my mine. "Elena, it is very late. Why wait until morning?" She questioned.
"Too many people up in the morning. I will call Caroline to see if she wants to come. Pack a bag and be ready in a hour. It will be fun." I said.
Bonnie seemed to contemplate. "Okay, I will go until everything is settled, then I'm coming back." She said. She moved off the couch.
I left and got in my car. I pulled out my cellphone and called Caroline. "Elena, what is wrong?" Caroline immediately asked.
I rolled my eyes. "Calm down, nothing is wrong. How do you feel about taking a trip?" I said.
After a hour and half, the three of us was on highway, driving towards New Orleans. Eventually, we turned off to the back roads and was doing like a hundred and we only had compel the patrol twice. Under ten hours, we were pulling into the Big Easy.
It was a friday night. The streets was absolutely packed and music blasting. The lights from the businesses and the street liven the party even more.
"Wow, it is beautiful. We should have came sooner, Elena." Caroline said.
I told Caroline I was pregnant before we left Mystic Falls.
FlashBack
"Caroline, I have to tell you something before we leave." I said nervously.
"You getting back together with Stefan?" Caroline asked hopefully.
"No, Caroline. Why do you ask that everytime? Anyways, I'm pregnant." I said, getting it out there. Bonnie and I just stared at her. She seemed to be focus on something. Instantly, she had me in a hug.
"I'm going to be a aunt!" She kept chanting over and over, before asking the million dollar question. "Who is the father?" She asked.
FlashBack ends
For about twenty minutes, she scolded me for keeping secrets like that from her. "How are we suppose to find them in this city?" Bonnie asked.
"Stefan told me that New Orleans is a beacon for supernatural. They are crawling everywhere. Plus, we ask someone to point us to the most arrogant man with a British accent. That should give us about quite a few of pointing fingers." I said.
We drove around, before we found a hotel. So, we parked the car and went inside. Caroline compelled the concierge to give us a room. A bellboy took our luggage and lead us upstairs.
Once we were settled, we took turns in the bathroom. Caroline was dressed in fitted skinny jeans with a red strapless haltertop. She slid beige leather pumps with a beige leather jacket. I put on a floral, spaghetti strap sundress that came above the knee. Then added a white cardigan with sunflower yellow wedge heels. Bonnie slid on a simple black dress with a sweetheart neckline. Down to her mid-back, it was exposed. She slid on black leather flats.
"Ready, ladies?" Caroline squealed. Bonnie and I just laughed at her excitement, but nodded our heads anyways. We decided to walk around. "So, have you decided what you are going to tell him when you are ready?" Bonnie asked.
"I think I will just flat out and say it. No need to play ring round a rosie with it." I said simply.
"The more important question: Do you expect anything from this?" Caroline asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked, unsure.
"Do you want a relationship with Elijah?" Caroline asked.
I was silent. "I expect nothing of this. I'm also aware that Elijah is involved with Haley, Klaus' baby momma. I won't do anything to jeopardize that. He is happy. I don't want to complicate his life anymore that I already have." I said.
"It takes two to tango, Elena." Bonnie said.
"True, but doesn't make it easier." I said. We stopped in front of this bar called Rosseau's. I felt drawn to it for a minute. "Hey guys, do you want to go in for a minute?" I asked.
They looked in and just shrugged. We went in and sat at a table. "Why did you want to come in here?" Caroline asked.
"I don't know why, but I felt the need to. It was like an... urge?" I said, unsure. I went to get up. When I turned, I bumped into someone. Before I could fall, arms caught me and pulled me to their chest. I gained my balance and took a step back. I accidently bumped the drink on the man. "I am so, so, so sorry. I wasn't paying attention."
The man simply smiled. The smile was absolutely delectable. Now, that I calm my wits, I took in every detail. The man was African-American. He has a bald head. His arms was beautifully sculpted and those deep browns eyes were mermerizing. That smile kept me on my toes. In overall, he was HOT!
"It is okay. It was only a shirt, but if you just wanted to talk me, a simply hello would have work." He smirk.
I put my hand on my hip. "Aren't you cocky? Do think every woman that bump into is flirting? I call that delusional." I said with my own smile.
"It's not cocky when you look like me." He laughed.
I laughed. "Maybe you bumped into me to get my attention?" I said in return.
He stepped closer and leaned against my table and stared seductively. "A beautiful woman like you, I would bump into you anytime." He said, deviously. I could here the double meaning in that.
I nervously started nibble on my lip. My cheeks flushed. Finally, I made eye contact. "Since you are throwing around compliments, I think names are in order." I said.
Before he could respond, someone yelled out "MARCEL!" Both our heads went straight to the source. My reason was completely different. It was damn British voice that haunted my nightmares. The one and only Klaus.
He weaved himself between people, before spotting me. His face contorted into a smirk. "Well, well, well, if isn't my favorite doppelganger." He said smugly.
"Hello to you, Klaus." I said. Why such a evil looks so damn good?! I straighten my posture.
"You know her?" The man I came to know, Marcel, spoke, looking between us.
"Meet the little lady that made it all possible. Marcel, this is Elena Gilbert." He said.
"Oh, don't forget Bonnie and especially Caroline." I moved out of his view. That priceless look was a Kodak moment. All three bust out laughing. Marcel looked at us with amusement and Klaus frowned.
"Love, I knew you couldn't resist me." Klaus said.
"Don't flatter yourself! I'm here, because Elena dragged me here. But your company won't be so unwanted." Caroline said.
"And why would our doppelganger be dragging the M.F. Crew to New Orleans, love?" He said.
"You know could just ask her. She is a person, Klaus." Marcel said.
"THANK YOU! At least someone has smarts. Anyways, I'm here to speak to Elijah. It is very important." I said.
"What would you want with him?" Klaus questioned.
"That is private. I wish to tell him first, before the Mikaelsons Squad." I said.
Klaus smirked. "Are you trying confess your undying love for him? How sweet!" He said with fake sweetness.
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever float your boat, Klaus. Seriously, this is important. If it wasn't, I wouldn't be here." I said.
"That would be a definite shame." Marcel said with a flirty tone. I could here the girls giggling behind me.
"It definitely would have been, because I wouldn't haven't been able to eye candy scenery." I said back, with a smile.
"Be careful mate, the Petrovas are known for breaking hearts." Klaus said. I scoffed at his statement. I grabbed my glass of water off the table and took a sip.
Marcel trailed his finger on my forearm and said, "Maybe they didn't find anyone to keep up with them." He said.
My glass shattered in my hand, glass and water spilt everywhere. "Ouch!" I said. I pulled a piece out my hand and it instantly healed. I looked back up and everyone staring. All of them were wearing a smirk of some sorts. I decided to change the subject. "So Klaus, Where is Elijah. It is important." I said.
Klaus was about to say something, before Caroline stood up. "If you take Elena to Elijah, you can have me for the rest of night. We can talk, walk, or whatever, but no sex."
"Caroline, your charms don't work on me anymore." Klaus said.
Caroline just hunched her shoulders and started to walk away. "I guess we have to find Elijah on our own." She said. Bonnie and I followed. We left out Rosseau's and walked down the street. "One, two, three."
"Caroline." Klaus said from behind. Caroline just smirked. She turned and looked at him "Yes, Klaus?" She said innocently.
"What kind of host would I be if I didn't show my guests around?" Klaus said. Klaus started to walk away, so we started to followed, but I stopped when I spotted Marcel. "I catch up guys, go ahead!" I said, before walking towards Marcel. "Hello, again." I said.
"Hello." He replied back.
"As much as I enjoyed this whole flirty fling, but it can't be more." I said.
"Now, who's delusional? You are cocky as I am?" He said. He moved closer. Those jeans on him was very distracting. He stopped a foot away.
"Well, when you look like I do." I said, using his earlier words against him. He laughed. "But seriously, my life is about to get extremely complicated. If it wasn't, I would totally go for you." I said.
In a split second, Marcel's lips was locked with mines. They were slow and heat. Even a hint of passion. He dully bit my lip. When he moved away, I was breathless. He slowly backed away, smiling. "Ms. Gilbert, I do like challenges." He said, before disappearing. Damn!
I finally caught up with Caroline, Bonnie, and Klaus. "Sorry, I was talking with Marcel." We walked for another twenty minutes coming across this big, white house build in the back. We walked up the path, straight up to the door. Klaus push open the door, "Welcome to Mikaelsons' Residence." Klaus said.
Bonnie and Caroline stepped through, but I hesitated. Once I step over that threshold, there is no going back. "I'm not going to bite, love. Unless you want we to." Niklaus said suggestively. In result, Caroline smacked him upside his head.
"Niklaus." I heard someone call out. I recognized the voice instantly and I tensed up. Elijah came into view. Dress in a suit, making it look like sin. He gave unsure smile and said, "Elena?"
I felt this bone crushing weight of pressure wave over me. I started to sweat and become dizzy. My vision started to blur Bonnie came over to me. "Elena, are you okay?" Bonnie asked. Her hands was replaced by Elijah's and stared at me. "What's wrong, Elena?" Elijah asked.
Everything was deafening. I didn't know why I was reacting this way, but before I passed out, I blurted out, "Baby."
