"Alexander I will ask you this one last time. How. Is. Mikael. Alive." Klaus growls at Alexander who still doesn't answer. Klaus grabs his throat and begins to choke him. "I swear I don't know, if I did I would have told you already Klaus." Alexander replies trying to break free of the restraints. Klaus releases his hold and brings in a compelled human boy.
"Right either you tell me now or I will have this human end your pathetic existence." He says in a deathly low voice. Alexander still doesn't reply so Klaus pushes the human forwards with a knife. He aims it at Alexander's heart and plunges it through the skin.
Immediately Alexander stops moving. Klaus snaps the human boys neck and leaves the room for a hybrid to clean. He heads towards the kitchen where Caroline is rummaging for some more food. She stands up with one hand on her bump and the other clutching a packet of crisps.
"Nik, I was just about to come looking for you." She says smiling. Klaus kisses her lips and questions "Why?" Caroline pulls away but Klaus pulls her straight back and captures her lips in another kiss. "Because I want to go out for a walk around Mystic Falls and I thought that maybe we could go together." She whispers close to his lips. This time Klaus pulls away grinning "Of course love."
4 months later:
Klaus is lying in bed sketching Caroline, who is snuggled into his warm side fast asleep. Her bump is massive now so she struggles to go about her day to day activities. It annoys her how she had truly become fragile as Klaus had said months ago but he only reminded her that she was protecting their child.
She slips her leg over his and snuggles further into his chest, burying her head in the crook of his neck but still deeply asleep. Klaus lays a hand on her swollen stomach knowing that any day now they were going to meet their child and become parents. He was going to become a father. The worlds most ruthless hybrid a father. "Niklaus" she sighs obviously dreaming of him.
Her eyes flutter open and focus on his face and only a second later does her own twist with pain. She cries out and Klaus begins to ask her what is wrong. "It's the baby, Nik I think it's time."
Klaus cups her face in his palms and locks eyes with her "It's going to be ok love I'm going to lift you up to take you to the hospital so just take deep breaths with me ok." He begins assuring her. Caroline nods and they begin to breath in and out together. He lifts her gently into his arms and flashes off to the hospital. Once Caroline is settled in a bed he sends a quick text to Elijah explaining the situation.
16 hours later:
"It's a girl." The nurse says wrapping a crying baby up into a bundle of cloths and handing her to Caroline. Klaus quickly compels all the nurses to leave and forget Caroline's incredible healing abilities. "What are we going to name her?" Klaus asks sitting beside Caroline in the bed. "Can we name her Scarlett?" Caroline replies looking at Klaus.
He wraps an arm around Caroline and whispers "Scarlett Mikaelson. I love it." Caroline laughs and hands Scarlett over to Klaus and begins to get dressed. "You realise we will need to buy her lots of baby things when we get home. Do you think she will drink blood or milk?" Caroline exclaims.
Klaus stands as Caroline finishes getting dressed. They begin to walk out of the hospital when Damon appears at the edge of the parking lot. Klaus hands Scarlett over to Caroline and pulls her behind him as Damon walks closer. "So the devils spawn is a she." Damon points out.
Klaus growls "Don't call her that!" His eyes go gold and only Caroline's hand keeps him from changing forms. "I just thought I'd send a public warning. If your child kills anybody then the council will go on a full fledged vampire hunt." With that he flashes away.
The first thing Caroline hears as they walk through the front door is Rebekah shrieking "She's beautiful!" soon after it's the cries of Scarlett that fill the house. "Rebekah you scared your niece." Kol says chuckling.
Instantly Rebekah punches his shoulder shutting him up. Caroline begins cooing to Scarlett and soon enough she stops crying. "It's ok sweetheart that's just your Aunt Rebekah. She's noisy but kind." Klaus stands beside Caroline wrapping an arm around her and planting a kiss on Scarlett's cheek.
"Can I hold her?" Rebekah asks stepping closer. Caroline doesn't hesitate in placing the blonde haired, blue eyed angel in Rebekah's arms. Rebekah smiles as Scarlett looks up at her mother and father. "Do you have everything you need?" she asks looking at Caroline whilst Kol comes over and takes Scarlett from her arms.
"I was going to go onto my laptop and order her a car seat, pushchair and high chair because we haven't bought them yet. Luckily we already have a cot, clothes and some box's of powdered milk." Caroline answers.
"Isn't she a hybrid so she would need blood to survive too?" Rebekah quickly asks. Klaus glances at Caroline who looks worried. "I'm sure Scarlett will be fine love. We can test it out once we have some baby milk." Caroline nods and heads upstairs-Klaus following behind. "Love are you ok?" he asks as she digs in a chest for a baby grow.
Bringing up a pale purple baby grow Caroline places it on the end of her and Klaus' bed then she sighs and wraps her arms around Klaus' waist. "I'm fine Nik, it's Scarlett you need to be worried about. What if she gets hungry for blood and we're not there to help her?" He hugs her tighter and plants a kiss on her forehead. She pulls away and flashes back downstairs into the kitchen.
Reading the instructions Caroline begins making a bottle with the baby formula. Soon enough it's heated up ready and she is taking it through to Scarlett with the baby grow. She takes Scarlett from Kol and says "Scarlett say night, night to Uncle Kol and Auntie Bekah. Then we can go and find your daddy Mr. Big Bad Original Hybrid." Scarlett just yawns and her eyelids flutter slightly.
Rebekah and Kol murmur a goodnight and Caroline speeds up to Klaus' study. She finds him painting a portrait of her and Scarlett. As soon as Klaus senses them he turns-a large smile gracing his features. "Hello love, is Scarlett ok?"
Caroline nods as he embraces them. "I was going to change her nappy and baby grow. Then try her on this baby milk before putting her to bed and I was hoping you would join me." Klaus smiles and packs his paintbrush and paint away. He pecks Caroline's lips and murmurs "I'd be delighted."
Caroline quickly changes Scarlett and lies in the bed with Klaus who hands her the baby bottle. As soon as Scarlett's advanced senses pick up on the smell she begins to wail. Caroline puts the teat into her mouth and she begins frantically sucking the milk out. "Somebody was a hungry princess." Caroline whispers kissing Klaus.
