Chapter Nine-Third Month

"What in seven hells is that?" Rebekah demanded as soon she stepped into the kitchen the next day around lunchtime.

Klaus and Elijah followed closed behind.

Elijah frowned as he sniff the air. "Is something burning?"

"Neither of you better not have burned down my kitchen." Klaus grumbled. When he saw the scene he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What are you two doing?"

"Eating." Hayley shrugged as she spread raspberry jam on one piece of bread and added peanut butter and pickles.

"That's disgusting," Rebekah wrinkled her nose. "Who puts pickles on a sandwich along with all that sweet stuff?"

"Hey I have food craving," Hayley protested as she bit into a Dorito chip. "Blame it on the pregnancy hormones."

"You're doing it too, love?" Klaus asked noticing Katherine's blueberry jam-marshmallow combo.

Katherine shot Klaus a so-sue-me look.

"You do realize that has no protein, whatsoever."

"Maybe, but it's good." she put down her "sandwich" and faced Elijah. "Hey Elijah can we have tacos for dinner, I really wanted one yesterday at like three in the morning that why I was bothering you," she pulled out a pizza menu. "On second though, pizza sounds pretty good-maybe with pepperoni."

"I want Chinese food, Klaus." Hayley pulled out a take out menu. "I'm tired of pizza, what about Chinese food, Kat?"

Katherine looked at the menu. "Hmm, you're right dumplings would be better. Elijah, screw the pizza, just get us Chinese food and tacos."

Elijah raised an eyebrow amused. "You're seriously eating all that?"

Katherine shrugged. "I'm hungry and it's not like I have to worry about my waistline."

Rebekah said dryly. "Maybe we should buy you two a restaurant."


They were watching the baby channel.

Of all the channels in the world, Elijah was forcing him Klaus, the hybrid to watch the baby channel. If Klaus could, he would compel him.

"Why are we watching this again?" Klaus asked annoyed. "Especially when I have so many people to. . .take care off."

Elijah rolled his eyes. "Surely you can spare an hour or so. Your baby will be born in less than five months and mine in six."

Klaus growled and moodily started watching the screen which was teaching them how to change a diaper. Klaus wrinkled his nose.

"At least me guess, you're dancing with joy to change a diaper."

Elijah shrugged. "I must admit that I am pleased to have this baby." At first Elijah had been more than a little freaked out, but slowly he started to get more excited especially now that Katherine's belly was slowly starting to grow. For centuries he had wanted to have a family and now he was finally going to have one. "Now, shush and let me listen."


"Thank you for taking me home," Marcel and Rebekah stopped in front of her house. It was late and she was sure that everyone would be sleeping already, except probably Klaus. He was probably waiting to interrogate her and crush her happy dreams. His specialty.

Marcel and Rebekah were finally together. He hadn't asked her to move in with him or become his Queen of the quarter, but she was close she could feel it. She knew Marcel was her second chance at happiness.

No one could ruin it, neither Elijah, nor Nik.

"Well I can't leave a lady unprotected," Marcel gave her his sexy smile as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "Even if that lady is an original vampire."

"Such a charmer," Rebekah purred as she slowly kissed Marcel. "I love you." Even saying those words made the butterflies in her stomach flutter. What if they were moving too fast? What if Rebekah was being a pushover? What if Marcel didn't want a serious relationship?

The words that came out of his mouth next surprised her. "I love you too."
