Chapter 4

It had been a week since Klaus told her he was going to get her the white oak stake and still she had seen nothing, she was starting to think he wasn't going to come through with it. Buffy was laying down in her bed with Talon, he had just fell asleep she hadn't realized how exhausted she was until she fell asleep with him.

She fell asleep really quickly and she went straight into a dream about Klaus. She didn't know why she had been dreaming about him so much lately but it was starting to get on her nerves. She was glad that her husband hadn't been home because she didn't think it was appropriate having the type of dreams she was about Klaus if he had been there. This time was no different, they were in a bedroom somewhere, he was laying in the bed with nothing but a sheet covering him and she walked up to the bed in nothing more than a silk robe. They never spoke any words it was always straight to the kissing then she would climb in bed with him.

She woke up sweating, cursing at herself for once again having that dream. She made sure Talon was still sound asleep then went and took a shower, trying to get some of the dream out of her head. She was standing there letting the water just run over her when she heard someone in her house. She turned the water off threw a towel around her body then rushed out of the bathroom. She came face to face with Klaus "What the hell are you doing here?"

Klaus didn't say anything he just stared at Buffy. She looked down at Klaus's hand and seen he had the stake. They just stood there in an awkward silence for about 5 minutes before Klaus finally moved toward her. Buffy didn't move, even though her whole body was screaming about the closeness between them.

Finally he spoke "I brought you this." He took the tip of the stake and glided it down her bare arms.

Her breath hitched "You can't be here Klaus."

He could tell by the look in her eyes that she was feeling the same way he was right then. She didn't know why she was feeling this pull toward him but she wasn't sure how much longer she would be able to fight it. He pulled her to him and she didn't fight him, she was looking up at him and he down at her with their mouths only being inches apart. He took a deep breath then took a step back, he then handed her the stake and was gone. She collapsed on the ground right there ashamed of what she almost let happen. She didn't know what was going on but she wasn't liking it too much.

Over the next month they all got together on numerous occasions planning how they were going to defeat Mikael. No one had seen him since the day Buffy and Marcel had ran into him. Buffy found out that Klaus had went and threatened Marcel about leaving her alone with Mikael. Marcel had apologized but what was done was done and honestly she thought it was better that he left her there because it gave her and Mikael time to talk. It gave her time to get him to trust her and she hoped it worked because that's what they needed, someone he trusted.

Buffy had taken Talon with her to lunch. She was sitting outside of the restaurant on the patio eating when she felt his presence. She looked up just in time to see Mikael sit in the chair across from her.

"It's been awhile" She said between bites.

"I've been around, checking up on some things." He said.

"Oh yea, you find out anything interesting." She asked politely.

"I think so" He said looking at Talon in his stroller.

She looked up and gave him a puzzled look.

"You know the first time I seen him I kept getting this feeling like he was familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it but now that's he's grow even more I know exactly what it is." He stopped and just looked at Buffy.

"Will you just spit it out?" She said confused.

"He looks just like Niklaus did as a baby." Mikael said not taking his eyes off her.

"What are you getting at?" She looked at Talon and automatically seen the resemblance "No" She shook her head "It's not possible."

"Well that's where your wrong sweetheart, he seems he is able to conceive children now that he broke the curse his mother put on him." Mikael said with a smile.

Buffy panicked "No he is Embry's, he can't be Klaus's."

"You can deny it all you want but I can tell you just by looking at him that he is my boys."

The way Mikael said that confused Buffy he sounded like a proud grandpa. She looked at him "What are you going to do?"

He looked at her confused "That's not my place girl."

"I don't want him to know" She said softly looking at Talon "Embry is a wonderful father to him but Klaus…" She looked back up at Mikael "You know better than I do that he's not father material."

"Don't count him out before you give him a chance" Mikael said once again surprising her.

"I don't get it you have chased him down for centuries trying to kill him, why are you acting like you care?" Buffy didn't know if he had some kind of alterative motive.

The hurt that crossed his face was apparent but he nodded "It's true we have never seen eye to eye, I blamed him for everything then when I found out he was not my child I went off the deep end and took it out on him when it was no one's fault but my wife's, she was the one who had an affair."

Buffy didn't know what to say to him, this was a side of him that no one seemed to think existed.

"But I must warn you, Esther is here but not in her true form she was able to take over another witches body and if she finds out about this child he will be in danger." With that Mikael was gone.

She didn't know if she should believe him, why would he lie to her? If he wanted to hurt her or the baby he could have very easily. Why would he warn her of Esther's return?

Once he left she found that she wasn't that hungry anymore, she decided she needed to talk to Elijah about everything. She called him as soon as she got back in the car, after he told her he was alone at the compound she told him she was on her way.

She got to the compound and double checked that they were actually alone but she went into everything with Elijah.

"Well your father paid me a visit earlier." She stated it off.

Elijah's eyes got wide "He didn't try anything?"

She shook her head "He was actually very polite and came to warn me about something."

Elijah gave her a puzzled look.

"He said your mother is back, that she has taken over one of the witches."

Elijah jumped up "So you're telling me that not only has Mikael resurfaced but now Esther has as well?"

"According to Mikael she has, that's on you though, do you think he'd have any reason to lie?" Buffy asked.

Elijah stood there for a moment trying to think "I can't think of any reason he'd want to, I just don't understand why he would go to you."

Buffy took a deep breath, she wasn't sure if she really wanted to share the next bit of information with him but she knew if they really wanted to figure things out he needed to know the whole truth "He said he wanted to warn me so I could protect Talon."

"But why would my mother go after your child?" Elijah not understanding.

Buffy picked him up out of the car seat then walked over to Elijah. She handed him to him, Elijah looked confused, he didn't understand.

"Just look at him Elijah, what do you see?"

It took him a minute or so but his eyes got huge. "I don't understand."

"You and me both, Uncle Elijah."

He looked at Talon differently this time realizing that he was family, his family. Then he looked at Buffy "Why did you keep this from me?"

"I didn't know… I thought he was Embry's…. How the hell would I know that for some crazy reason that your brother can all of a sudden conceive children… When I got pregnant I just assumed it was Embry's, I knew that I had been with Klaus to but I never even thought for a second that he was your brothers."

Buffy hadn't realized that she had started crying until Elijah pulled her into a hug, she didn't know what she was going to do now, she and Embry only got back together because of the pregnancy. Now she wondered if he would still want her if he knew that Talon was not his.

"What am I supposed to do Elijah, I'm so scared.. Not of your mother but I'm scared for my son…" She straightened herself up and looked at Elijah "I don't want him to hurt because of this but I can't see any way around it, Embry is great with him, he is a wonderful father but I can't go on letting him believe he is his father when he is not."

"Will you tell Klaus?" Elijah asked her.

She sighed "I couldn't keep it from him."

"Maybe you should right now, if my mother is actually here, the least amount of people who know the better, but I do suggest you always have someone with you, never go anywhere alone."

She nodded in agreement, she didn't like the idea of keeping up this lie for right now but she knew it was what was best for Talon.
