Back with the latest chapter.

Thank you for the all the reviews, follows, and favorites! I am loving the attention on this story! I love that you love the story and are finding it amazing(:

I know a lot of you want to know if Elena will continue and go to college or be home schooled by Klaus. I haven't exactly decided on that yet. I'd think it was be entertaining to have Klaus or Rebekah try to teach her some things. Knowing The Originals class wouldn't always be easy for Elena. haha. Also I am not sure what sex the baby will be but I am leaning towards her having a girl. Daddy's little girl? No? Haha. On the subject about Elena living with Klaus, I am leaning towards that idea but I don't know yet. I just figure it out as I go along most the time.

I know Elena & Klaus don't have that much in common but in my opinion neither did he and Caroline. I will find ways for them to bond through the baby and other complications. I can't say for sure if he'll chase after her like he did with Caroline. I don't want to give away the story. Also I will say the rest of the groups reactions will be different from Bonnie's. I can't have everyone accept her? Where would be the fun in that?

I can't say anymore. I think I've said to much already!

I'm just going to shut up, and let you read! Enjoy!

She wasn't expecting the chuckle that came from above her. His grip loosened as she quickly distanced herself away from him. Her hand touched her throat knowing it was going to be sore later. She coughed trying to get more oxygen in her lungs. He continued to laugh as Elena struggled to breath. Her eyes narrowed as she slowly removed her hand from her throat. She met eyes with him seeing the amusement in his features.

"You can't be serious, love." He chuckled down at her. He stopped laughing his lips curling into a smile before looking down at her stomach. Uncomfortable by his gaze, she laid her hand over her stomach. "Though now that you pointed it out; I do hear another heartbeat along with yours." He cocked his eyebrow a smirk replacing the smile. "Now do tell Elena, who is the real father?"

"You are." She snapped her brown eyes glaring up at the man. She couldn't believe he had laughed at her.

"You are mistaken, love, I can't produce children." He told her still somewhat amused.

"You're the only person I've been with since Stefan left with you last year." She demanded causing the smirk to slowly fade from his lips. She fixed her dress moving to her feet. She couldn't stay here trying to convince him while Jeremy was in trouble. There was always time for that. "It's yours."

"That's bloody ridiculous. Vampires can't produce children. You should know that."

"You're right vampires can't, but you aren't exactly a vampire now are you?" She demanded causing him to narrow his eyes slightly. "I've looked up the symptoms I have, they match up with the time period. From my calculations, I'm somewhere around seven weeks, and that's when we sleep together." She mentally cringed at the last part. He narrowed his eyes at her but she didn't back down and kept her glare just as fierce.

"For all I know you could have slept with someone else that night." He snapped harshly. She shook her head taking a step back.

"I wouldn't-" She cut herself off biting down on her lower lip. "We both know I didn't. You are the father, Klaus" He started laughing again. Her fists clenched at her sides. Her knuckles turning white from the grip.

"Is that what you came to tell me, I was going to be a father?" He asked she could pick up on amusement in his voice and his mouth turned into smirk. "If so you can leave I have no use for a child."

"What?" She asked a little surprised. She wasn't sure why but the comment hurt her feelings. She held back the tears not wanting to show he had actually gotten to her. "But- I don't understand." She whispered shaking her head.

"What don't you understand, love?" He asked teasingly cocking his eyebrow.

"How you are like this!" She snapped her voice a little hoarse from the sadness. "You are supposed to be about family!" She bit her lip again feeling the tear roll down her cheek. It's the hormones. Not him. She told herself wiping the tear away with the back of her hand.

"You seem upset that I don't care about your child."

"It's the hormones." She snapped dropping down on the couch. She placed her face in her hands. She should have known. Why did she think he'd actually care? She was a fool. Slowly she looked up dropping her hands into her lap. "But no I'm not upset you don't care about my child."

"Look on the bright side, love. You get to lie to your friends about the father, which I'm sure you wanted to do in the first place." He told her turning his back to her and picking up her glass before downing the whole drink.

"I wasn't going to lie. I have nothing to hide." She whispered rubbing her legs nervously. "I'm going to tell them… wait how did you know I haven't told anyone?"

"Honestly, do you think they would let you anywhere near me after they find out you're carrying my child." He chuckled, his back still turned towards her. "And I'm sure you all would be too busy trying to get rid of it for you to come give blood."

"It's not an it!" Elena snapped causing him to look over his shoulder at her. "And I'm not getting rid of the baby! I don't care what they think but I am having this baby with or without their support." His eyes narrowed slightly before he turned completely towards her.

"You want to keep it knowing it belongs to me?" He asked she couldn't pin point the emotion on his face.

"I could care less who it belongs too. It's my baby." She snapped crossing her arms over her chest.

"And if I were to want a part of the baby's life?" She turned towards him in surprise her mouth hanging open. "Would they accept having me in your life?"

"They wouldn't really have a choice." She whispered. She wasn't sure what to expect now. One moment he didn't want it the next he did? Or was he just playing with her?

"And you? Could you accept having me in your life?"

"I was going to have you there before what's the difference now? Having the baby doesn't change the fact you still need my blood for hybrids." She told him searching his eyes. She slightly narrowed her eyes in suspicion before moving a little closer. "What happened to 'I have no use for a child'?"

"I never said I wanted it. I was simply asking you a question." He told her.

"So you don't want a part of the baby's life?" She asked creasing her eyebrows together.

"I didn't say that either." He smirked seeing the confused look on her face.

"You're making no sense." She groaned pushing herself up from the couch. "I don't have time for this. Jeremy needs me."

"You honestly don't believe I'm going to allow you to leave knowing you are putting that child at risk." She narrowed at her eyes at the smirk.

"I'm not letting my brother die either."

"I'm sure your Salvatores have it handled by now." Klaus shrugged as she took a step closer towards the door. She looked over her shoulder scolding at him.

"You don't care remember? So don't try and act like you do. Don't use my baby as an excuse to keep me here when the truth is you don't want to lose your hybrid maker." She snapped before walking towards the door. She was a bit surprised when he didn't try to stop her. Opening the door she took one last look at him. "And I wasn't upset, I was disappointed." And with that she was gone.

Her heart was pounding in her ears as she ran towards the Mystic Grill. She couldn't lose Jeremy not like this. Not when she hadn't gotten the chance to tell him he was going to be an uncle. The hunter was supposed to be dead. Why hadn't anyone told her he was still alive? Her pace slowly down as she starting getting closer to the building. She hadn't really thought it through. What was she supposed to do? She wasn't a vampire, she was a human. But he killed vampires. Would she be okay since she was human? Jeremy was human.

She wanted to keep her child safe yet here she was rushing into a dangerous situation the first chance she got.

"Just put the gun down." She snapped out of her thoughts at the sound of the voice from outside. Her hand grabbed the door as she placed her ear against the door wanting to listen. "And let Jeremy go." It was Stefan. She pushed the door open going inside. She paused at the sight of the hunter pointing his gun at Jeremy. Who was standing on something beeping. Whatever it was she knew it wasn't a good thing. She couldn't see Stefan anywhere from where she was standing. She felt the tears building up but pushed them back. Crying wouldn't do anything for anyone.

"Please." She said grabbing his attention. He turned pointing his gun at her. She placed her hand over her stomach protectively. The motion going unnoticed by her brother. "Don't hurt him." He turned the gun back to Jeremy.

"Step any closer, he's dead." The hunter, Connor demanded. Jeremy looked look at her she could see the frightened look in his eyes.

"Elena, get out of here!" Her brother yelled but she shook her head. She wasn't leaving him.

"He's the only family that I have left. Just-" she choked up her hand tightening on her stomach. "Just let him go."

"You hear that your girl's watching. I will shot the boy right in front of her!" Connor yelled she knew he was talking to Stefan. She wasn't even sure what was going on and why her brother was brought into this situation. She was tired of her and her family being drug into things like this. She shook her head not wanting to think about that right now. She needed to focus. Save Jeremy, and try not to get hurt in the process was her plan. "On the count of three." He yelled causing Elena to bite down nervously on her lip. No she couldn't do anything. She looked at Jeremy. Panic rushed through her and tears prickled her eyes. "One!" She needed to think she needed to get Jeremy off that mat. She needed- "Two!" She sucked in her breathe not wanting to hear what came next.

From the corner of her eye, she watched Stefan slowly stand up from the spot he was hiding. She released the breath she was holding taking a step closer to Jeremy. She felt a gust of wind beside her before Connor was slammed into the ground. A gun shot rang out and she heard Jeremy grunt in pain. She turned to Jeremy seeing him clutching his stomach. He's been shot. Blood leaking through his fingers from the wound dripping on his feet and the mat.

"Jeremy!" She screamed in horror.

"Elena, take cover!" Stefan yelled before grabbing Jeremy from the mat and both of them crashing over a table. She quickly ducked behind the entryway pressing her back against the wall. She crouched down shielding her stomach best she could. Her hands covered her ears. Her body jumped when the loud explosion came from behind her. The walls shook and she could hear things flying and hitting the walls. Shuffling to her feet, she looked around the corner searching the ground for her brother.

"Jeremy?" She yelled the smoke from the explosion making it difficult for her to see. She caught sight of something from the corner of her eye. Shocked, she stepped out looking down at the two men on the ground. It was him. She thought seeing Klaus pinning Connor to the ground by his throat. He was the one who stopped Connor. He looked up from the hunter meeting eyes with her. Her breath caught in her throat as his gaze moved down her body. He's making sure I'm okay. She told herself before turning her gaze from the two to find Stefan and her brother. He needs my blood that's the only reason.

"Jeremy?" She called out again. She felt a gush of wind and something moved from the corner of her eye. Afraid the hunter might have escaped from Klaus she turned back towards them. The hunter was gone leaving Klaus standing there alone. He brushed off the ashes from his sleeve before looking at her.

"Elena." She quickly snapped her attention in the direction of the voice.

"Jeremy!" She caught sight of a blood covered shoe. She rushed over dropping down beside him. Her heart dropped at the sight of all the blood. "Oh god, Jer." There was so much blood. She slowly moved his hand to see where he was hit.

"Are you okay?" Jeremy asked looking over his sister. She nodded before sniffling. Her fingers wrapped around his. She didn't care about all the blood she was getting all over herself.

"Yeah I will be as soon as I save you." She sniffled, using her free hand to wipe away the tear that had fallen. She looked around for Stefan knowing he needed some vampire blood. He was gone. Biting her lip she turned back to Jeremy. A hand landed on her shoulder making her slightly jump. Slowly she tore her eyes from Jeremy to the hybrid standing behind her. "What?" She asked slightly narrowing her eyes at him. What was he even doing there? He removed his hand from her shoulder bringing it to his lips. His eyes flashed gold and his fangs appeared. He bit his wrist before kneeling down beside them.

"Open your mouth, little Gilbert." He instructed as Elena stared at him with a blank expression. Her lips pressed into a fine line not wanting it to hang open in amazement. He's going to save Jeremy. Jeremy opened his mouth allowing Klaus to feed him some of his blood. Elena sat there staring at Klaus with confusion written all over her features. Why was he here? And why is he saving Jeremy? He confused her. Was he there to protect her? The thought kept making its way into her head. She turned her attention from him to her brother. She moved Jeremy's hand to see the hole was now healed. Klaus removed his wrist but stayed crouched down beside them.

"Thank God." Elena sadly smiled. She threw her arms around him in a tight embrace. Jeremy was okay. She pulled away taking her brother's face in her hands. "Next time watch where you step." She teased sadly causing him to roll his eyes. She quickly turned back to Klaus pulling her hands from her brother's face. "What happened to the hunter?"

"I killed him" She snapped her attention in the direction of Damon's voice. Where did he come from? She asked herself moving to her feet along with the hybrid. Both brothers were both now in the room looking at them with a questioning look.

"What do you mean you killed him?" Klaus hissed walking passed Elena towards the brothers. Shouldn't he be happy the hunter was dead? They didn't have to worry about him anymore.

"He was a problem, I handled it." Damon demanded with an eye roll. Elena flinched when Damon's back was slammed against the wall on the other side of the room.

"Do you realize what you've done?" Klaus growled pushing Damon up the wall by his throat.

"Stop!" Stefan demanded. "He doesn't know."

"He's ruined everything!" The hybrid growled not taking his eyes from Damon. Elena quickly rushed to Stefan's side.

"I did what needed to be done. The hunter was trying to kill everyone." Damon choked out from his spot on the wall. Elena was lost. She didn't understand anything at the moment.

"You've caused me a problem. A problem you're going to fix." Klaus hissed tightening his grip on the vampire's throat.

"No way." Damon spat narrowing his eyes. Elena gasped when Klaus's free hand went into Damon's chest.

"Damon!" Elena yelled making a move to his side but Stefan caught her wrist pulling her to a stop.

"We'll find another hunter." Stefan demanded his hand still holding Elena's wrist. She slowly removed her arm from his. "Just give us time, we'll find another one."

"Oh I know you will." Klaus hissed before he let out a light chuckle. "But mark my words; Damon will regret killing that hunter." Elena waited for Klaus to remove his hand with or without Damon's heart in his hand. Slowly Klaus removed his hand from Damon's chest, no heart. She let out a sigh of relief when Klaus released his throat. Klaus looked over his shoulder giving her one last look before he was gone. Stefan helped his brother to his feet once the hybrid was no longer around. Elena crossed her arms before stepping forward.

"I think you two need to start talking."

There was a cure. A cure. Her mind couldn't wrap itself around the words Stefan had said to her. She was washing Jeremy's blood from her hands in one of the bathrooms at the boardinghouse. The hunter had a tattoo that was a map. What did the map lead to? A cure for vampirism. Something about the hunter being part of the five and he being the legacy of a vampire killing cult. She hadn't paid much attention after Stefan informed her there was a cure. The way he looked at her with so much hope made her heart flutter.

"I can be human again Elena."

The way he said it made her heart twist in guilt. Because when he said that she heard "We can have a life Elena. A human life."

Now the hunter was dead. They would have to find a new one for them to be able to find the cure for Stefan. But one thing she couldn't wrap her mind around was why did Klaus want it? Why was the Original helping Stefan find it? He never did anything that didn't benefit him so why do it?

More importantly, she wanted to know why he came to help them today. He could have just let Jeremy die earlier. Yet he didn't. He fed him his blood. He probably wants some more blood. She told herself watching the water and blood swirl down the drain.

"For all I know, you could have slept with somebody else that night." The words made her blood boil. He knew better than that. They woke up together! When would she have slept with somebody else? She shouldn't have said anything. He didn't care she told herself drying her hands off on a towel. He said so himself. Sighing she tossed the towel to the hamper before walking out the room.

Her phone vibrated before beeping. She pulled her phone out sliding her thumb of the screen.

I'm done with the rest of the mixture. I'll stop by in a couple minutes to give it to you.

From: Bonnie

Message Delivered: 7:48 P.M.

She continued to walk down the hall typing her reply.

Okay, I'm at Stefan's but I'm about to leave. I'll text you when I get home.

Message Sent.

She placed her phone back into her pocket before walking into the living room. She grabbed her jacket from the couch catching the sight of Damon from the corner of her eye. He was sitting with his back to her staring at the fireplace. She pulled her jacket on before buttoning it up.

"Hey have you seen Stefan?" Elena asked pulling her hair out from under the jacket.

"It's always been Stefan." Elena creased her eyebrows at his answer. What was he talking about? She stepped forward trying to see if he had been drinking. Maybe a little too much.

"Damon, are you okay?" Elena asked watching the fire cast a shadow on his features. The flames flickered in his narrowed eyes.

"What do you want from me?" He snapped causing her to jump back a little. He stood up turning his attention towards her. "You and Elena always want something from me, but when you get it you run right back to Stefan. Everyone loves Stefan."

"Damon, it's Elena!" Elena demanded feeling a chill run down her spine. What was wrong with him? Where was this coming from? He flashed in front of her grabbing her by the arm. She struggled against his hold. "Stop Damon. Stefan!" She screamed fighting against his hold.

"Shut up Katherine." Elena's eyes widened in horror. Oh no, he thought she was Katherine. She shook her head placing her free hand on his arm. She tried pushing his arm from hers.

"It's Elena." She demanded pulling at his grip again. This wasn't good. She knew if he thought she was Katherine. He could hurt her or the baby. She needed to get away from him or get through to him.

"Stop." He demanded yanking her towards him. She hissed at the discomfort that came from her shoulder when he pulled her too hard.

"Stefan!" Finally he appeared in the doorway looking between the two. "There's something wrong with Damon. He thinks I'm Katherine." Elena explained as Stefan tried to break Damon's hold on her.

"Damon, you're hurting Elena. Elena not Katherine." Stefan explained pulling his brother's hand from her. Elena quickly backed away from him not wanting him to accidently hurt her. She watched as Damon started yelling at people who weren't there. Stefan tried to calm him down but it wasn't working. Quickly Stefan snapped his brother's neck. Damon landed on the ground at his feet.

"We need to lock him in the cellar until we find out what is going on" Stefan explained seeing Elena's expression. She nodded following him to the cellar. Damon was thrown over his shoulder.

"Why is he hallucinating?" Elena asked standing outside the door of the cellar while Stefan walked inside.

"We don't know for sure he was hallucinating Elena." Stefan sighed, laying his brother down on cot.

"He was talking to people who weren't there, Stefan." Elena demanded cocking her eyebrow. "And he called me Katherine."

"It's a minor side effect of killing a hunter." Elena and Stefan turned their attention to the voice coming from up the stairs. Standing there leaning against the door frame was Klaus. His arms were crossed over his chest as his lips curled into a smirk. "I did say your brother would regret killing the hunter."

"So you knew this would happen." Elena mumbled narrowing her eyes slightly. "Why didn't you say anything before?"

"I'd thought it be more entertaining to watch you figure out for yourselves." He smirked causing her to roll her eyes.

"How do we fix him?" Stefan asked looking through the hole at his brother.

"You don't 'fix' him. But you do keep him away from sharp objects. He'll have the need to kill himself." Klaus stated casually causing Elena to bit down on her lower lip. Kill himself? She shook her head pulling out her phone.

"I'm calling Bonnie. Maybe she can do something." She paused remembering she was supposed to be meeting Bonnie. She placed her phone back in her jacket. "I'm supposed to meet her at my house. I have to go." She turned back to Stefan placing her hand on his arm. "Call me if anything happens to him, okay?" He nodded before she removed her hand. "I'll call you when I find something."

"Good, I'd like to ask the witch something as well." He smirked pushing off the doorway before motioning towards the door. "Shall we?"

"Elena is not going anywhere with you." Klaus looked at Elena as if saying 'Told you so'. She bit down on her lip realizing he had been right. They barely liked her around him now. They'd be much worse when they found out she was pregnant. She sighed once again placing her hand on Stefan's bicep.

"It's okay Stefan. He won't hurt me." She whispered but Stefan didn't take his eyes from the hybrid. His green eyes narrowed slightly. She sighed giving him a reassuring squeeze. "I'll be okay." She told him before heading towards the door. She walked passed Klaus heading for the front door. She could hear his footsteps following shortly behind her. It wasn't until they were both outside when he finally spoke.

"You see, love, that is why I was aware you didn't tell him." He chuckled from behind her. She quickly turned around pointing her finger at him.

"What the hell do you want? Why are you even here?" She hissed under her breath still pointing her finger at his chest.

"Can't a guy just drop in to visit his favorite doppelganger?" He asked cocking his eyebrow. She narrowed her eyes before crossing her arms over her chest.

"You don't visit. Show up, yes. Visit, no." Elena stated before raising her eyebrow. "Tell me why you are really here and why you wanted to get me alone?" He cocked his eyebrow causing her to her roll her eyes. "I'm not stupid. I know you didn't want to see Bonnie."

"I came to make sure the Salvatore didn't harm you." He told her before walking passed her towards her car. She stood there in disbelief before shaking her head and turning towards him. He should have known Stefan wouldn't allow Damon to kill her or hurt her.

"Why are you really here?" She asked chasing after him. He opened the passenger's door for her but she stopped to stand beside the door.

"Is it so unbelievable that I came to check up on you?" He sighed, standing beside the door with his hand still laying on the open door.

"Yes." She nodded slowly uncrossing her arms. She looked between him and the open door. Realization dawned on her and she narrowed her eyes in suspicion. "Stefan wouldn't have let anything happen to me. But it wasn't me you were worried about. You were afraid something would happen to the baby, weren't you?" He opened his mouth to protest but she quickly cut him off. "You don't have to act like you don't care. If you want the baby then just say it."

"I do have to keep the Petrova bloodline going, Elena." He shrugged but it didn't stop her from smiling inside. He wants the baby. She told herself before nodding towards him.

"Right, it has nothing to do with the fact you actually care." She said sarcastically before climbing in the car.

"It has nothing to do with that." He smirked before closing the door.

She looked down at her stomach before softly smiling at herself.

Yeah we'll see about that.

I hope that was the reaction everyone was wanting! But I didn't want him to be okay with it completely. Because with him you never know. But he won't be like that the whole story. We will have moments of caring Klaus and not so caring Klaus. He will want to protect Elena a lot and Elena won't allows appreciate it. Klaus will control her a lot. In this chapter you see a tiny bit of it but it gets worse as the pregnancy progresses.

But anyways, any questions ask away!

What did you think of the chapter?

Review!
