Chapter 20

I disappeared from Baltor's apartment realizing I was being a coward, I could have hours or maybe a day more with a chance and I would do whatever it took to protect the father of my child and Hope because someday the world would be a better place. I couldn't go back to the Mikaelson for now, I needed to find Marcel.

Marcel walked toward my direction at the Lafayette cemetery, he gave me a look.

"Klaus has been looking for you, he came last night to my penthouse last night."Marcel told me, leaning against a tomb."He's worried about you, about the baby."

"I had to clear my mind, I got a day or two at most if this baby just holds on for a bit more."

I heard him audibly sigh."I don't I'm not getting into that but I just think you should back to the compound."

"I'm not, I'm looking for the hollow. I need to make a deal with her, one that would protect Hope and my child."

"Elizabeth what you want to do is ridiculous," pleadMarcel argued stepping closer.

I turned around disappearing from his view, in so long I haven't felt this strong. I was ready to fight, I was ready to die any moment but tonight I would protect those I cared for. I was ready to finally find peace, to finally find what I longed for since the day I became a vampire.

I was not a witch I needed to find Vincent, Baltor would not help me if anything he would try to lock me up. I spent hours searching for Vincent, calling Vincent but he went completely MIA. My only hope at this point was Hope, she would be able to help me.

I arrived right in the nick of time, Klaus had Kol by the neck aiming the white oak stake at his heart.

"Nik, please! Davina changed me, I love his brother, Klaus looked at me before down at his brother.

I took slow steps toward them."Let him go, he's your brother. He might not be the brother you expect but he is your brother. You once told me how much family meant to you."

He looked at me deep in the eyes, no words forming out his lips. He wanted to speak yet had troubled to do so, his hands around Kol loosened allowing his brother to go free.

"Leave and be happy brother."

Kol stood up from the ground, looking at me gratefully."Thank you Elizabeth, someday I'll met my nephew and I'll tell him thanks to you I got what I desired the most."

"Tell Davina I'm sorry for what I once said to her, for hurting our friendship."I looked down at my bump before looking back at Kol."If in a few years you do not turn Davina, I hope to one day see her."

Kol nodded, walking toward the gates."I will tell her, farewell Elizabeth."

I was left alone with Klaus, the look in his face told me everything. He sat down by the stairs, I sighed walking toward him. Sitting down next to him, I loved him I really did but I no longer felt the attachment I did once. I would always care for him, but our relationship has went nowhere in the last few years.

I've always felt that something was missing, as much as I loved him I've now realized we weren't meant to be. It had nothing to do with these memories or that man, every time we had a moment of peace something ruined it. Be it Dahlia, Sky, Damon, Aurora, the Strix, Marcel and now the Hollow.

I took his hand in mine, placing on my swollen belly."I know things might not be what we once planned, we planned a future but that's not what I want to say to you. I just want you to know that no matter what I care for you. And as wrong as this seems, I finally will get the peace I've longed for."

He turned around to look at me, not saying anything.

"I know I've failed you as a companion, but part of me feels like something has always been missing. Do not think I don't love you but lately these days things have been worse, and for the better or worse we have a son. In a few years when he's old enough to understand, tell him I loved him."

His thumb stroked my bump, faintly smiling. His eyes glistened with tears."I will tell him about the girl I met years ago, the redhead girl I met in Mystic Falls. The girl I'll always love, the one who made me a better man."

"Then be a good man, I only want you to promise me one thing."

He nodded, taking my hand once again in his."Whatever you want."

"When I'm no longer here, promise me you will not become the man you did once. My death will not define who you are, you'll be a good person for your son and your daughter. You'll destroy the hollow but don't lose yourself, because I know you're good."I reached for his chest, pressing my hand by his heart."We all have our monsters, it doesn't mean we must become sinners. I know because of what you are you can't just be a normal man, but you can try and not become the man who once sacrificed Elena. Do it for Hope, for Alexander, for your family and yourself."

Even with the tears rolling down his cheek, he smirked."Alexander?"

I nodded."I always thought the name fit,"I began to shed tears myself."He will never be a normal child, he will always have enemies but like you he will overcome them because he is a Mikaelson."

"He will be a conqueror because he is a Mikaelson."

He placed his arms around me, resting my head against his chest. Tears rolled down my cheek, staining his black cotton shirt.

He would never suffer, because no matter how monstrous his father had been Klaus was now a good man. He would do good by my son, he would protect our son. Alexander would get the chance I never did, he would at least have his father. For years I spent wanting to know who my birth parents were, and the end I lost any care for it because the ones who were my mom and dad died.

Killing my father had reckon a part of me, my mom could be dead or alive somewhere.

Two more chapters till the end. I will be updating in Two days now. The new story will be up by Sunday night, I'm hoping the ending will suffice. As you all read, this is officially the end of Klaus and Elizabeth, the end of their relationship. For now I can't say more of the sequel but I hope you all enjoy it.
