Chapter 14
Once Buffy found Elijah, her and both brothers met back up with Davina and Sophie. Sophie had tried to replace Davina but Buffy hadn't let her, she and Sophie were closer but she thought Davina deserved to do this. She was the one who told her she was pregnant initially and she was the one who brought it up about finding out the sex of the baby. So she thought it was only fair if she was the one that did it.
She laid down on the table, Elijah stood next to her hand in hand. Klaus stood above her head looking from a distance. Faith, Willow and Rebekah stood just a little further back than Klaus and Hayley and Jackson were still there but they didn't want to intrude so even though they were still in the room they were far enough back that they wouldn't get in the way. Davina stood over her abdomen, placing her hands right above and then took a peek inside.
After a few moments Davina lowered her hands, looking between Buffy, Elijah and then Klaus "It looks like you're having a boy."
Buffy felt the emotions coming on, she wasn't sure why she got so emotional but it hit her and it hit her hard. She felt the tears coming and she couldn't do anything to stop them. Elijah noticed the change and swooped get up in his arms.
"Hey what's the matter?" He asked her.
Buffy couldn't stop crying long enough to answer him, she just laid her head on his shoulder and let herself cry it out. She couldn't help but look over at Klaus, who was looking at her very confused. She raised her hand to him, willing him to take it. He seemed to hesitate at first but he walked closer and took her hand in his. When she finally caught her breath she sat up and took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry guys, I don't know what came over me" She looked across the room at everyone "I think it just finally hit me that I'm having a baby, there has been so much stuff going on here lately I don't think it actually registered until now, but now knowing that we have a little boy in here it became all too real."
Willow and Faith came in closer both wrapping her in a hug, "You don't need to explain anything, you're in a very emotional spot right now." Willow told her.
"Yea B, no one's gonna judge you for crying a little." Faith said.
"Thank you guys for being so great, I felt like such an emotional wreck" She told them. "Hey Hayley I think it's your turn, if Davina don't mind."
All attention turned to Hayley and Jackson, she couldn't help but smile then walked toward the table. Davina smiled at her then said "Well get up there wolf girl."
Buffy looked over and noticed Klaus had taken off. She knew he probably felt just like her and was emotional as well. She looked at Elijah and said "You should make sure your brother is ok."
He nodded, kissed her gently then took off to find his brother.
Davina was standing over Hayley doing the same thing she had been doing to her a few minutes before. Once she finished, she let Hayley sit back up before telling her what she thought she was having.
Davina smiled at Hayley then said "Well it looks like Buffy's little boy might have a girlfriend already."
Hayley squealed "Where having a girl?"
Davina nodded and Hayley came across the table and wrapped her arms around the teen. Davina seemed very surprised but then went with it and hugged her back.
"Were having a girl." Hayley said again then jumped into Jackson's arms.
Buffy couldn't help but smile, she was glad Hayley took the news a lot better than she had. She wasn't sure why she got so upset but she was feeling better now. Once Hayley finally let go of Jackson, Buffy walked up to her friend and they hugged both saying their congratulations to each other. They talked for a little while then Buffy walked her and Jackson out. When she returned Elijah had gone out and it was only her and Klaus left at the house.
She sat next to him, "Why'd you take off?"
"Why didn't you tell me about your engagement?" He ignored Buffy's question "I don't mind but did you think I could stay here and not find out?"
"We weren't trying to hide it, we were just waiting on a good time to tell you." Buffy sighed "With the news of the baby we weren't sure how you would take it."
"There's no need to worry about me sweetheart, I'm happy for you and my brother" He paused and looked at Buffy "But there is something that I don't quite understand."
"What's that?" She asked.
"Why did you not tell your dear Elijah how I feel about you?" He asked.
Buffy hadn't expected him to ask about that, in all honesty she didn't know why she kept that Elijah. She had an idea it was because of very selfish reasons, she was afraid if he knew that even after everything that they've been through if Elijah knew how his brother really felt for her that she'd lose him. And that's something she couldn't handle, she needed Elijah, now more than ever.
"Is there a reason he needs to know?" She asked.
Klaus hesitated then gave his signature smile "You're a naughty girl slayer, you shouldn't keep things from the one you love, things seem to always come out and the consequences get worse the longer it stays a secret."
"So you want me to tell him?" She didn't understand this, she wouldn't have thought Klaus would have wanted his brother to know this.
He placed his hand on her stomach, "This little guy means more to me than anyone will ever know and when I told you I wanted you and Elijah to be his parents, I meant I wanted you to be the family we never could be, with no secrets and that includes ours."
Klaus was gone in a flash, leaving Buffy to think. She hadn't thought this would be as big of a deal as Klaus seems to think it will be. But she realized he was right, if she wanted this to work there couldn't be any secrets. She knew what her next mission would be and that was telling Elijah that Klaus had feelings for her. The pit of her stomach told her it was more than feelings but because that wasn't something that was ever discussed that wasn't something she thought she needed to bring up.
She waited around the house for Elijah to return when he finally did he automatically knew something was wrong. They had this connection between them that was unlike anything Buffy had ever experienced, she knew with him being a vampire his senses were heightened but she felt the same, it wasn't just him.
He sat next to her, waiting on her to open up. Finally she placed her hand in his and starting speaking, "Don't be angry with me… I've kept something from you that I shouldn't have."
He didn't take his eyes off her but he never said a word, he let her speak on her own time.
"Before Klaus left last time, he told me something, something that I should have told you right away but I was afraid how you would react with the information."
She took a deep breath, afraid what this information would do to their relationship, their engagement, their family. "Klaus told me he still had feelings for me, even after he told you to go for me. I think he did it all for my happiness, it's what he's been doing everything for."
Elijah seemed like he was letting this information sink in, "He loves you as well don't he?"
Buffy hadn't expected him to think that, "I don't know for sure but I think so."
"Hmm.." Was all Elijah said.
"He came to me earlier and told me that I needed to tell you, he said we couldn't have the family that were meant to have if we have secrets between us." She told him.
Elijah looked Buffy straight in her eyes, "How do you feel for him?"
"I have nothing more than friendly feelings for him, you need to know that. I only kept the information from you because I was afraid you would leave me if you knew." She told him honestly.
He placed his hand on her cheek, "I would never leave you I haven't let very many people in but Buffy when I let you in my plan was to never let you go."
Buffy felt her eyes start to water. "I never knew love could be like this, the feeling I get every time I'm around you, I can't wait to be your wife."
"We don't have to wait, you pick the day and place and it's yours." He told her.
Buffy thought for a moment "I want to be your wife before the baby is born."
"That can be arranged."
"Also before I start getting huge, so within the next month, month in a half." Buffy couldn't believe what she was suggesting. They had so much to do before getting married and moving the timeline up that far, it would be hard. But she had never been surer of anything in her life as she was about this and about Elijah.
"So in 6 weeks?" Elijah asked.
"Yes in 6 weeks, which means we need to go to England and the sooner the better." Buffy told him. She needed to bring Dawn, Giles and Xander back with them. She couldn't get married if they weren't there.
I know the wedding is quick for them but Buffy really thinks its for the best for them and the baby...
