Chapter 11

They had sat and talked for a few hours but really hadn't figured out what they were going to do about the baby. It was obvious that no one other than them was to know about the identity of his true father. She felt bad knowing that she wouldn't be able to tell Elijah, which was going to be hard to keep from him. The only thing that they really agreed on was that they would protect him with their lives.

Somehow they ended up getting on the topic of baby names and she decided that it would only be fair if she and Klaus threw around some ideas for their child's name. They disagreed about a lot but then when Klaus mentioned the name Talon something inside of Buffy said that was the perfect name for him. Talon Mikaelson, it had a good ring to it.

Buffy hadn't realized just how tired she was but she knew one minute she was talking to Klaus and the next she was asleep. She had very weird dreams that night and really didn't want to remember them especially when she woke up and Klaus was asleep next to her, with his back to her. She was glad to be awake because the dreams seemed way to real and her and Klaus being together really wasn't something she wanted in her head.

Klaus's phone rang, she went to answer it but he grabbed it at the same exact moment which made Buffy pull her hand back quicker than she should have. Once he hung the phone up he looked at her oddly "Are you alright?"

She wouldn't look at him.

"What is the matter with you?" He asked getting irritated.

Buffy thought about trying to lie about it but figured that would mean she had something to hide and she didn't "I kind of had a dream about you last night, about us."

Klaus smiled immediately "Oh yea, how was it."

Buffy didn't say anything.

"That good huh? Better than before?" He asked laughing.

"Shut up, this is not funny" She said seriously.

"It don't mean anything love, it's probably just an effect of taking my blood, which by the way what was that about?" Klaus said.

"I don't know, I felt like that was the best way for me to heal, I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the baby?" She asked knowing that he wouldn't have a definite answer.

He shrugged his shoulders "I don't know but anytime you want more your more than welcome to it."

She couldn't believe the way he had been acting the last two days, "You do remember that I'm married to your brother right?"

"Oh I know, I wouldn't do anything I just like messing with you, your fun."

They had to stay one more night before the car was fixed. Buffy made sure she called Willow and told her about the accident but made sure she knew they were alright just had to get the car fixed. She just didn't want her to worry about them not making it back when they were supposed to. They were finally on the road the next day when the car was fixed. Since they had only made it a few hours they still had about a full day before they made it back to New Orleans. They took turns driving and ended up making it back in about 22 hours. As soon as they made it into Louisiana Buffy started getting nervous, what if her and Elijah's relationship was different now that she was a vampire.

She knew she should have went straight to the compound and seen Elijah but she was letting her nerves get the best of her so she decided to go to the witches community and see Willow and Dawn. She hadn't called and let them know she was coming, she wanted it to be a surprise. She dropped Klaus off near the compound and let him walk the rest of the way back since she didn't think it would be that good of an idea to bring him around the witches. She drove up to Willow's house and Dawn was sitting on the front porch, her smile made Buffy's day. As soon as she got out of the car Dawn was there embracing her in a hug.

"I've missed you so much" Dawn said with her arms still around her sister "You really scared all of us taking off like that."

"I'm sorry Dawnie, I didn't mean to worry anybody I just had to figure out a way to live like this" She said.

Dawn took a step backwards and looked her sister up and down "You can't even tell you're a vampire."

She stepped back up to her and put her hands on her stomach "But you sure can tell you have a baby in there."

Buffy couldn't help but smile, so far New Orleans wasn't as bad as she expected. She was standing here with her sister and didn't have a craving to rip her head off.

"Is Willow home?" Buffy asked her.

"Yes she's inside with Rebekah" Dawn said excitedly.

Buffy and Dawn walked hand in hand inside the house. When they walked past the door Dawn looked at her surprised "You didn't need an invitation."

"I know must be one of the perks of still being part slayer." Buffy told her.

Rebekah must have heard her because she was standing in front of her in a flash. Her face was unreadable at first but then she broke into a smile and hugged her. Buffy seen Willow over Rebekah's shoulder and she smiled at her. Rebekah finally released her.

"Wow you look amazing" She walked around Buffy "It's so odd you smell like vampire and human."

"It's because I'm both, I guess I'm a different kind of hybrid" She looked at Rebekah "But I don't think it's really human, it's the slayer part."

"Yea I get that but there's still a hint of human but that could be the baby since he is human" Rebekah said with a face "At least we think he is anyway now with you being this, it's hard to say what he might be."

"It doesn't matter, he's still my baby" Buffy smiled down at her stomach.

"And my nephew" Rebekah replied.

"And mine to" Dawn broke in.

"Kind of mine to" Willow laughed.

"Well we kind of found something else out about me to when we was on our way back from California." She looked around at the three girls then stopped on Rebekah "It seems like I'm more like you than we imagined, we got in a crash on the way back and if I would have been a regular vampire I would have died."

She seen the shocked look that all three girls gave, then Willow spoke "You told me it wasn't that bad that it just messed up the car."

"Well we got ran off the road and into a small wooded area, and just my luck I ran right into a tree that decided to push a branch right through my heart." Buffy tensed while saying it but she was trying to make it not that big of a deal.

"So you had a piece of tree plunge through your heart and you're still alive?" Willow sounded upset.

Buffy nodded. Willow threw herself in Buffy's arms. "If anything would have happened to you, you know I would have blamed myself for talking you into coming home."

"Well there's no blaming needed, I'm perfectly fine." Buffy lifted her arms to show how good she was.

"Have you seen Elijah yet?" Rebekah asked.

She knew this question was going to come up and she hoped she didn't anger her sister-in-law. She shook her head "I'm just not ready yet."

"You know he didn't mean for this to happen?" She told her.

"Yea I know but I've been blaming him, even though I know he didn't want this either it's hard for me to see past it, he knew there was that slight possibility and he never once brought it up." She said sadly.

Rebekah looked sad "You will be able to get past this, right?"

"I hope so" She couldn't give her any more than that. She didn't know how things would go once she seen him again.

They sat and talked for a couple more hours and Buffy knew that she needed to get to the compound, she needed to see Elijah. But before she left she needed to speak to Rebekah alone. She got her attention and silently asked her if they could talk. Buffy said bye to Dawn and Willow then headed outside. Rebekah opened her passenger door a second later.

"What's going on?" She asked her.

"I need to ask something and this is very personal" Buffy said barley being able to make eye contact with her.

"How long does the effects of drinking another vampire's blood stay in your system?" She asked her quietly.

Rebekah looked at her curiously "whose blood did you drink?"

Buffy took a deep breath, "Klaus's, it was after the accident, he didn't offer it to me, I just kind of took it and ever since then I've been feeling this connection to him and dreaming about him, I'm not liking it very much."

Rebekah laughed "You been having sex dreams about your husband's brother huh?"

"Shut up this isn't funny" She swatted at Rebekah.

"It kind of is" She laughed again "It usually passes within 24 hours."

"Well we've already made it past the 48 hour mark" She told her.

"It might last a little longer with both of you being a special breed" Rebekah admitted.

"How much longer? I can't go home to Elijah and think about his brother like this especially if were staying in the same place" Buffy was feeling like she was about to lose her mind.

"Hey don't worry about it, maybe seeing Elijah will help break it, you won't know until you do it." she told her.

Buffy took a deep breath "I'm scared Rebekah, I feel so different, what if it's different between us now?"

"Then it'll be different, he'll understand that as well, just don't keep anything from him" She suggested.

Buffy didn't plan on keeping anything from him except the knowledge she found out about the baby. Other than that she wanted to be completely honest with him.
