Two

Ana woke up in a bed she didn't recognize and groaned when she realized that yesterday had not in fact been a dream. It wasn't so much that she had a mate or that he was Elijah or even that she was pregnant it was the fact that she knew being here in New Orleans was going to cause big problems but at the same time this felt like home so she knew she needed to stay. She sat up and saw her bag of things on the floor by the dresser and she looked around realizing that this must be Elijah's room. She felt his presence before she saw him and looked up to find him in a three piece suit that made him look quite attractive.

"I believe you even have my brother's respect at the moment," he said speaking up.

"The Original hybrid respects me?" Ana joked, "Pigs must be flying."

"Yes well you scared the witches and made it possible for Hayley to leave," Elijah said coming closer until he was sitting next to her on the bed.

Ana thought about the other girl that was pregnant as well. It was a hard predicament that they were in and it didn't help that Klaus was a raging psychopath but something told Ana there was more to him and that he genuinely cared about the baby but was just afraid. She felt bad for Elijah though because she kind of forced the mating thing on him and didn't even realize she was doing it.

"I feel bad for you. I kind of forced this whole mate thing even if I didn't know what I was doing and now not only are you mated but you also have a kid on the way," Ana explained sheepishly.

"I do not believe there was any forcing that night," Elijah stated and smiled at her blush, "Also I believe that I felt something that night before we even mated as you say. I believe Anastasia that I could find myself being with you forever. I also promise to protect you and our child no matter what."

Ana looked up at him and saw nothing but the truth in his eyes making her relieved. She leaned forward and kissed him hesitantly on the lips not knowing if he would want her to but it seemed he did because Elijah wrapped a hand around her neck and deepened the kiss. Unfortunately it didn't last long because he had a diabolical brother to take care of and she needed a shower.

When Ana had felt a sharp pain in her chest she knew something was wrong with Elijah and it was confirmed when Klaus told her that he had left not wanting her or the baby. She glared at him with a hand over her stomach and knew that he had done something.

"I know you did something and I will find out," Ana swore.

"Well you have a good time with that love," Klaus said with a smirk as he left.

Ana growled as she started up the stairs and looked through all the rooms. She knew that Elijah did not leave and she was upset but she had to stay calm for her child. Ana walked out of the last room upstairs and almost bumped into Hayley who seemed well bitchy not that Ana could blame her.

"Look I'm sorry for almost bumping into you but right now I have a mate to find because I know that he did not just leave like Klaus said," Ana explained only to have Hayley stop her.

"I believe you. Sophie said your a phoenix and that you're connected to Elijah which means that if you say he didn't leave then he didn't. I mean at least you got the good one," Hayley said with a sigh.

Ana felt for the girl because while her night with Elijah had technically been a one night stand she was connected to him and he truly cared for her while Hayley well it was a liquor induced one night stand that ended with her pregnant and Klaus threatening her. She squeezed the girl's hand and smiled at the wolf.

"We got each other," Ana reassured.

"Yes we do and I'm going to help you find Elijah," Hayley swore.

Two months later and still no Elijah. The two pregnant girls did all they could from their enforced prison though at least Klaus left Ana alone the same couldn't be said for Hayley. The wolf had admitted to feeling something for Klaus but afraid of him at the same time and Ana could tell that maybe this baby was the thing that Klaus needed. At the same time though she couldn't care because her mate still was gone and Klaus caused it. Ana heard the door open but couldn't find it in herself to care because she was depressed and nothing was changing that.

Hayley meanwhile looked at Rebekah and sighed because maybe the blonde girl could help Ana as well. The blonde girl hadn't mentioned anything about Ana which meant that maybe she didn't know. She saw Klaus leave and walked down the stairs to talk to Rebekah determined to help her pregnant friend.

"Do you know about Ana?" Hayley asked.

"Who?" Rebekah asked annoyed with the question.

"Elijah slept with a phoenix only neither of them knew that when a phoenix finds its mate it doesn't matter what species they end up with a child on the way. Ana is Elijah's mate and pregnant with his child. This whole time she's known that Elijah was daggered and in all honesty I'm worried. She's depressed, angry and she barely comes out of her room. Please find Elijah so Ana doesn't lose her baby," Hayley pleaded.

Rebekah was shocked beyond belief and concerned. It seemed that this phoenix was a spitfire though it was a shame what happened. The little she knew about phoenix's told her that you should never take away their mate. It seemed she needed to find Elijah for more than just herself.

Ana sighed as she finally came out of her room for the first time in two days to find Hayley, Klaus and a blonde girl standing in the foyer. She saw Klaus smirk and glared at him as she threw a fireball at him only to have him duck and then growl at her. She saw Hayley laugh while Klaus put it out and then saw the blonde girl smirking.

"I like her brother especially since she doesn't like you," Rebekah said already knowing who the girl was and she saw the bump which meant that the phoenix was further along then Hayley was.

"He took my mate from me which happens to be your brother I could care less about Klaus or anything he says," Ana growled turning to walk away only to have Hayley grab her arm.

"We are planning to get Elijah back," Hayley told her reassuringly.

Over the course of two months the two pregnant girls had bonded and Hayley had become her friend so she knew that this wasn't a lie. Ana saw a concerned look cross Rebekah's face and sighed because she now had hope. She just hoped that he got back soon because she needed him and if she didn't get him things were going to burn.
