Chapter 13

After taking a night to think about it, Buffy and Elijah decided they'd do it. Buffy couldn't help but be a little excited about this new turn of events. She had been so nervous and scared about how Klaus would act about this baby that she never took a moment to think how things could turn out if he did something like this. She could tell that he really didn't want to do things this way but he knew what was best for his child so it's the way he wanted.

Elijah thought it would be a good idea to set up a meeting with everyone who already knew about the baby and let them know what's going on. Klaus had decided he would stay around for a few weeks just to help out some until she gets past her first trimester, everyone was really worried about to much stress being put on her when she was most vulnerable. Buffy couldn't really complain about them wanting to help out a little more but it was getting on her nerves a little, everyone was acting like she couldn't do anything.

Elijah called everyone and set up the meeting. They had about 15 minutes before people started showing up. Buffy was sitting on the couch on her computer when Klaus walked in, she sat her laptop down and asked him if they could talk a minute.

He sat down across from her and she said, "I just wanted to thank you for what you're doing."

"It's no big deal love, you act like this is the first sensible thing I've ever done" He stated.

"Well you did just go on a killing spree a little over a month ago," Buffy chuckled.

Klaus got real serious, "I know I shouldn't have did what I did but I couldn't just sit around and let them think it's ok to go messing around in my head."

"I know you were upset and you had every right to be but you need to seriously think about consequences before you do stuff like that, especially now" She looked at her stomach "You know that no matter how much we try telling people that me and Elijah decided to artificially inseminate there will be people that'll find out the truth and I don't want to take the chance that someone could try to hurt our baby to get back at you."

He just sat there for a good few minutes before he finally said "I'll make sure I'm more careful now, I would never do anything to intentionally jeopardize your child."

Just the way he said your child showed Buffy just how hard this was for him, "Klaus you know you don't have to do this, this baby is yours and I would never do anything to take that away from you."

Klaus smiled at her softly, "I appreciate that, but I know what I have to do and it's what I'm doing, that baby is yours and Elijah's, never speak anything else after today."

Klaus stood up and he was gone, she wasn't trying to upset him she just needed him to know that no one was trying to push him out of his child's life.

Buffy heard when everyone started arriving so she decided it was best to greet them. The first to arrive was Faith and Marcel, then Willow and Rebekah. Buffy felt so guilty for not even telling her best friends the news yet, they will find out with everyone. Sophie, Jane-Anne and Davina were the next to arrive then finally Hayley and Jackson made it. Once everyone was seated Buffy knew it was time, she wasn't sure where Klaus had run off to but she had expected him to join them.

"Thank you all for joining us" Buffy started. "I know everyone is probably wondering what news we could possibly have now after the whole baby and engagement news." She laughed.

"Well this is actually about the baby" she looked around the room "The people in this room are the only people who know the true identity of who fathers my child and we'd like to keep it that way."

Buffy hated the way she felt when she said that, she would never keep a child from their father but she felt like she had no other choice.

Rebekah was the first to speak up, "What do you mean? You're not going to tell my brother that you're having his baby?"

That's when Klaus made his entrance "Little sister this was my idea."

Everyone in the room was staring at Klaus.

"Please let her finish," He told them.

"Of course we told him and he suggested it would be better to keep his role in it between all of us" She looked at Elijah "This baby will be mine and Elijah's per Klaus's suggestion."

"And how exactly will that work? He is a vampire and we cannot procreate" Marcel spoke.

"We will need to find a doctor but I'm going to say I was artificially inseminated because Elijah and I wanted to start a family." Buffy said.

"I can help with the doctor we actually have a witch that is also a doctor" Sophie told them.

Klaus looked at Sophie "Can we trust this witch of yours? I'm afraid after what I did that there are some of your kind who would do anything to get back at me, including hurting my child."

Sophie seemed to think about it, "Honestly I don't know, I'd hate to tell you that you have nothing to worry about and then something happen once again because of my people."

"I appreciate the honesty Sophie, I don't want to do anything that will put this little one in jeopardy" Buffy told her.

"Well I know someone, I just don't know if she'd be up for it" Hayley said.

"Who?" Buffy asked.

"Priscilla, she was our pack's doctor before she fell ill" Hayley said.

"She would be perfect" Elijah spoke for the first time "She is already close to all of us and when the baby is born I'd say it'll probably be part werewolf so we'll also have an excuse for that as well."

"Do you think she'd be up for it though being a newly turned vampire?" Buffy asked.

"All we can do is ask and see" Hayley smiled.

Buffy smiled everything was going better than she hoped. Klaus also let them all know that he was going to be staying for a few weeks, he made sure they knew it wasn't for good though and that Buffy was still the one in charge they just wanted her to have as much help as possible. Everyone agreed that was a good idea. She noticed the witches weren't that happy about Klaus's return but she knew they were enduring it because of her. Buffy had also decided that no one else even needed to know she was pregnant until later on, she didn't think there was any reason to go around and tell everyone yet.

Once everyone started leaving Davina walked up to Buffy, "You know this hurts him don't you?"

"Who?" Buffy asked confused.

"Klaus, this isn't what he really wants, I can tell." She stated.

"This is on him completely, I never wanted to take this away from him" She told her honestly.

"I know. You're a good person but it is for the best. You know that right?" Davina asked her.

Buffy smiled at the teen "I do but how'd you get so smart for such a young girl?"

"Instinct. I'm told I'm more powerful than all the other girls my age." She told her.

"I can tell, I can sense your power. And here's a little secret between you and me, your actually more powerful than most of your coven." Buffy smiled.

She couldn't help but compare to Davina to her little sister. She was really starting to miss her and now with the pregnancy she knew she would have to go see her and Giles, she just wasn't sure how she would be able to get away for long enough to go to England.

"Hey would you like to know what you're having?" Davina asked her interrupting her thoughts.

"What?" She asked confused. "Isn't it a little early?"

"For modern technology but not for witches, now it's not a sure thing like an ultrasound but we're usually right." She admitted.

Buffy couldn't help but smile, she hadn't really had much time to think about the pregnancy but she couldn't help but be excited to learn if she was carrying a girl or boy. She told Davina yes then went to find Elijah and Klaus. She found Klaus first and figured since he said after today this baby would be her and Elijah's that he might want to be a part of it.

"Hey I wanted to ask you something," She said as she approached him.

"No I won't go sneak off with you in the other room, Elijah might see" He said sarcastically.

"Klaus"

"Fine but we gotta make it quick love" He smirked.

"Will you get serious for a minute" She said and finally continued once he agreed "Davina says there's a way the witches can tell if I'm carrying a girl or boy and I wanted to know if you wanted to be there?"

"Do you not remember the whole conversation about this being you and Elijah's baby now, I think you need to go talk to him about that." Klaus said agitated.

"I plan to have him there to but you also said that today is the last day that this baby will be yours so I figured you might want to be there on your last day of fatherhood." She said trying to lighten the mood.

"Hmm.. I did say that, didn't I?" He said "Yea I guess I'd like to be there."

Buffy saw it again, the regret cross his face once again, she knew that he would never admit it but she was really starting to think that he didn't want to do this. She would have to talk with Elijah about this because she couldn't take this baby away from Klaus if he wanted something to do with it.
