"Please don't tell me Caroline's upstairs harboring my child" Klaus stormed down the stairs.
"I'm sorry Niklaus, Sophie said she had no other option" Elijah looked up from a few medical records.
Klaus snapped pulling the hinges of the wall in anger "Who told her about Caroline in the first place?"
"Tyler"
"I'm going to kill both of them" Klaus punched a hole in the wall " After I let him come back into her life this is how he repays me"
"Brother calm down you have your daughter back" Elijah said in a soothing tone.
"It doesn't matter I could have gotten somebody else pregnant if I wanted a child that badly"
Elijah shook his head at his brother's statement. After all this he isn't happy, he just got his child back. Just to admit he didn't want a child.
" The problem is she is upstairs. She should be in Whitmore studying some useless subject she wish she didn't, not upstairs over heating from a fever" he said calmly.
"I'm just as upset as you are but it's best we stay calm"
"I want the witch dead I want her organs to hang on the porch like chimes"
Klaus's brother flinched at the thought. Surely they wouldn't have any house guest with such a thing to greet them.
"I'm afraid that's not possible the baby and Sophie are tied"
"That sneaky bitch " they heard Rebekah say from upstairs. Of course she was eavesdropping on the conversation.
"Ahh" Klaus screamed.
He felt like his whole world was crumbling. His fangs were coming out. His eye's were turning and the veins around his pupil were darkening and becoming visible.
Elijah saw the change in appearance and was quick to jump to his feet and try to calm his brother. Nobody needed to die tonight.
"She needs her rest I fear for health"
Klaus eye's was clouded by worry "What do you mean fear for her health?"
"She is aging and won't respond to blood bags or the vein"
The chandelier that once stood over their heads was thrown at a wall.
Rebekah strode into Marcels bedroom. She got his text last night to meet him here for a special surprise. The blonde wasn't really fond of any surprises since the only one's she seem to get were disastrous . Like the one last night when Elijah brought in a very feeble Caroline who seemed to be Niklaus new surrogate.
That alone was enough to make her stay home, fearing anymore surprises.
"So you wanted me to come see you?" Rebekah asked.
He turned to face her and gave her a gentle smile"Yes I put together something for you"
He walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder. They walked out of the room and down the hall into another room.
"Close your eye's" he requested.
She did as she was told as he guided her into another room.
She opened her eye's to face a gigantic painting, it depicted them fencing. Rebekah could tell she was winning since she had him pinned against the wall.
There's only one artist that could paint like that.
There were paintings everywhere small, large they displayed Marcel and Rebekah's times together. Then there was the jewelry she could've sworn they got burnt in a there they were seated delicately on the mannequin's hands, fingers, ears and neck.
A few were also dressed up in Rebekah's old cloths.
She turned around to face Marcel "What's this? "
"It's a room full of all our happy times together"
"You did this? " she asked even though she knew who painted the beautiful illustrations on the wall's.
Marcels eyes danced with accomplishment as he saw the look of appreciation in Rebekah's eyes "Your brother helped out he suggested we put a piano but nobody around here knows how to play"
Rebekah heart soared into her throat. Niklaus helped him with all of this. Her evil vindictive brother painted all these paintings for them. Even the one of them sneaking off from a party together.
And Marcel did all of this for her.
"This is so sweet you didn't have to do all of this"
"No you deserve a place to remember that your past wasn't so bad"
Rebekah glanced around. The paintings that were framed, all of them occupied every inch of wall space. The mannequins that stood on the outskirts of the room dress in her outfits from the 1800's. Then there was one thing that caught her eye. It was a small stand in the middle of the room, it held a small cottage on top .
She doesn't remember a cottage holding any significance.
Rebekah approached the miniature structure. It was very simple and detailed. Rebekah always liked simple things.
"One day I will build you that little house. Somewhere we can get away from everything and everyone. Just us we'll grow old together maybe even adopt some children like your brother adopted me"
It was so sweet and thoughtful. It was the nicest thing anyone has promised her. The fact that her brother helped made her even more appreciative.
"One day you'll wear this"
He took a necklace out of his back pocket. A small ring hung from it.
"Oh Marcel" She gasped. Rebekah knew exactly what that was.
"It was the only ring my mother owned"
He placed the necklace around her neck.
"Take it as a symbol of my promise and hope for our future together"
Caroline through her covers aside and pushed herself out of bed.
Last night seemed like a blur. Though who could ever forget throwing up on Elijah Mikaelson shoes. It was one of the most embarrassing moments of her life. Thank God no one was around to see it.
The pain that seemed to take over her body was gone. But she was still weak and in the need of blood.
Last night everyone tried to feed her it, from a bag, from the vein but nothing was working. She was a vampire the lust for blood was suppose to be embedded in her yet she couldn't even swallow a drip of it.
If only Elena were here she would know what to do.
Caroline tightened the bathrobe and exited the room. Her cloths were placed in the drying machine last night by Rebekah. She walked around the corner to where the main rooms were.
The blonde could hear the sound of furious brush strokes against a canvas. She opened the door to find Klaus seated on a stool in front of his canvas. He was madly splashing colors onto the white sheet.
He didn't look up at her "You know Caroline when I told you I would show you this city I didn't plan to do it this way "
She crossed her arms "I came to that conclusion"
He placed the brush aside "I'm sorry this has happened to you I would kill the witch if I could but she has a link to you"
If she could count how many times he apologized for sending her into peril. Caroline would need a new set of fingers.
"I'm aware"
He nodded and turned his attention back to the painting. Caroline leaned against the door frame.
"She told me you didn't want the child at first but if you're willing to not kill us both your intentions must be pure" Caroline's prodded.
"Well I suppose so"
It was time to console Klaus and get him to see the light "I know you don't want to be a father you didn't really have one and Hayley must be pretty shaken up about being a mother because she doesn't have parent's but don't let that stop you from doing the right thing. This is the time to make up for your lack of consciousness and be the man your dad never was"
"How am I supposed to raise anyone, the one child I took under my wing has taken everything I built and not to mention is screwing my sister. Then it's you that's pregnant "
He said deadpan.
Caroline shook her head, it it was true. Klaus had a bad track record and she of all people people was sucked into his messy life once again.
While everyone thought she was asleep she listened in on all the hurtful things they had to say about Klaus. She refused to believe he could ever be so heartless. And she was right. Because he was here admitting his fear without anyone having to snap his neck to get it to get a admission out of him.
The room was silent.
