Chapter 21:

"Dear God… This is very, very frustrating, you know." I said, giving up on buttoning my jeans.

Klaus looked up from a book about babies and frowned. "What is frustrating?" he asked, confirming my suspicion about him not listening to a word of what I'd said the last few minutes.

"This!" I signed at my pants that refused to be buttoned. "I'm too big for my pants! Again!"

I pulled them off again and tossed them away, then went to the mirror in our suite to take a look at the bulging stomach I had gotten. I was already three months pregnant even though only a month had passed since I found out that I was carrying Klaus' freaky hybrid child, but we both guessed that it was growing fast because of what it was. It just annoyed me that I couldn't fit any of my clothes anymore except for my dresses and I couldn't use them when it was starting to get cold outside.

"You do look kindda fa–"

Klaus was cut off by me as I grabbed him by his throat and slammed him down on the floor. "If you say fat I will kill you, so choose your words wisely. It's your fault I'm pregnant to begin with! If you hadn't been such a horny wolf all the time, then–"

"Me a horny wolf? If I remember correctly then you wanted me as much as I wanted you."

I snorted and walked to the closet to see if I had anything else to wear. I soon felt Klaus wrap his arms around me from behind and rubbed my bulging stomach in a nice way that made me smile.

"Love, you're supposed to gain weight, but you still look unbelievable beautiful. The sexiest hybrid mommy I've ever seen."

I scoffed. "I'm the only hybrid mommy you've ever seen! But what am I supposed to wear now?"

"Nothing at all…"

I turned around and smacked him on his shoulder, making him chuckle and kiss me passionately for a few minutes, making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. These pregnancy hormones were really starting to annoy me, while Klaus was taking full advantage of my sudden cravings for certain things. The only thing that did annoy him about my pregnancy was that I had to drink double as much blood as before because the baby needed blood too.

"Hmm, perhaps we should go to a store for those who are expecting a baby?" Klaus suggested.

"Do stores like that truly exist? Wow, I wish I was born in this century. You've got everything here!" I said.

Klaus chuckled and nodded in agreement. He picked out a dress I could fit and after I'd dressed we then went to the nearest baby store. It had been a quiet month and after that encounter with Mikael we had spent most of our time at the hotel among the humans, hoping that Mikael and Esther wouldn't dare doing anything stupid as long as we were in a public place.

But now we had to leave the hotel and as we walked hand in hand through the streets of Las Vegas I kept a protecting hand on my stomach and my eyes scanned every place we passed to make sure that we wouldn't get hurt. I noticed that Klaus too was on alert, but once we found a store that sold baby clothes, toys and even pregnancy clothes we both relaxed.

"Of all the places I've been too then I never expected to go to a baby clothing store…" Klaus said, chuckling as we stepped inside. I giggled and dragged him to the department that sold the baby clothes. I took a little outfit and showed it to Klaus, who raised an eyebrow. "This is what our daughter might end up wearing. A silly little dress with laces, butterflies and pink hearts! Yuck!"

"Well, let's hope it's a boy then. Or we could make someone sew something for us that's a bit more… normal." he said.

"Ohh! We have to get a mini-version of your suit! The two of you will look so adorable!"

Klaus shook his head of me and walked to the boy clothes, while I stayed where I was. I managed to find some baby clothes I actually liked and when I was done looking at that I went to find something I could wear during the pregnancy. Klaus joined me, but he wasn't alone. Following right behind him was a compelled woman, who was carrying a lot of boy clothes and a couple of more books about how to be a good parent.

"I married a lazy hybrid…" I said, rolling my eyes of the sight.

"Ha-ha, very funny, but I'm not lazy. I'm practical! And this young woman did offer her assistance, so…" I waved him off and tossed him the clothes I'd found, making him my slave.

"What are we even naming it? I don't care as long as it isn't Mikael or Niklaus Junior."

Klaus wrinkled his nose. "What's wrong with Niklaus? My name is Niklaus."

"Yep, and it's a stupid name. You've said it yourself. Oh, and we're not naming him Klaus either or Nik, so forget about that."

He groaned, but just tried finding another name for the child. "Hmm… what if it's a girl? You want to name her Meike Junior or something?"

I snorted. "Of course not. If it's a girl, then her name will be Fleur or Fleurette. That was my mother's name. She's French, which means that I'm part French too."

"Fleurette? Perhaps, yes. We'll see, but for now we just call it…"

"Niklaus." a familiar voice suddenly said.

We both froze for a minute and when we turned around we were surprised to see Elijah standing before us, instantly noticing to his surprise that he didn't know I was pregnant.

"Don't worry, love. He won't hurt us and especially not you. He's too weak to do that." Klaus said, taking my hand in his.

I said nothing to Elijah and just left with Klaus and our baby things, while Elijah stayed inside and tried processing the fact that I was carrying his brother's child. I didn't say a word, until we finally reached our hotel room and our things were placed in the living room.

"Well, that was kindda scary… You think he really won't hurt me?" I asked worriedly.

"Of course he won't. He's a man of honor and blah, blah, blah…" Klaus answered, making me giggle.

He pulled me in for a hug and kissed my stomach three times, then tried listening for any movement from the child.

"It's just a fetus. You can't possibly hear it!"

"Hmm, we'll see about that. Now, be quiet."

I rolled my eyes, but stayed quiet and watched as he carefully listened to the sounds the child made for the next couple of minutes. I was sure that he wouldn't hear anything, but then he suddenly looked up at me with wide eyes.

"What is it?" I asked worriedly. "Did you hear something?"

He nodded and smiled brightly, but I could tell that he was hiding something from me. "Are you in the mood for two strippers?"

"If they're male, then yes."

He pouted and stood up. "I'll give you one male, but then I want the female."

"Deal!" I sat down on the couch and watched him make the call to the bureau that lend out male and female strippers. We'd already drained some of the other hotel guests and two cleaning ladies, so we had to find our dinner elsewhere or people would start getting suspicious.

The strippers arrived within half an hour and they both looked as hot as they were delicious. The male was dressed in a cop costume, while the female was dressed as a sexy nurse. Klaus compelled both of them to stay quiet as we drank their blood and I immediately attacked the man before Klaus could even get his fangs out. I was starving and… well, kindda lost control and ended up killing the woman as well.

"You really suck at sharing…" Klaus said, shaking his head of me. "I'm going out for an hour to get something to eat now that you ate my dinner. Stay inside and don't let anyone in. I don't care who it is, but just don't open the door, got it?"

"Yes, Dad!" I said teasingly, making him rolling his eyes.

I gave Klaus a kiss and locked the door after him, then went to pull the dead bodies in to the bathroom where they could stay, until our hybrid minions came. In the month we'd spent in Las Vegas we'd hunted down every werewolf here and successfully turned them into hybrids, but since they only answered to me Klaus sometimes got very frustrated.

But as I waited in the big hotel room I still felt hungry, so this time I made myself something normal like a chicken sandwich, pizza, French toast with marmalade, popcorn and chocolate (yes, I was very, very hungry!). By the time Klaus returned the living room was a mess and food was lying everywhere as if a wild animal had just gone through the fridge.

"Remind me not to leave you home alone again," he said, trying to take a slice of pizza but I growled at him and flashed my hybrid fangs. "Bloody hell! You truly are bad a sharing!"

"I never said I was," I said, smirking mischievously. "But I'll give you the other half of my sandwich if you massage my feet. They're sore from all that walking."

Klaus sighed, but began massaging my feet while I ate and watched me finish eating French toast. I could tell just by looking at him that something was on his mind and he kept staring at my stomach as if something was going to jump out of it soon.

"What are you thinking?" I asked curiously.

"That it would be cool to name our son Nik." Klaus answered.

I rolled my eyes. "I'm serious, Nik. What are you thinking? You've been deep in thought ever since you listened to the baby's movement. Did you hear it… talk?"

"Of course not! It's only a month old, but that's not what I've been thinking about. I… met my brother Kol when I went out and it seems he and my brother Finn have a bone to pick with me. Too. I want to keep you safe, but you're also in danger when you're alone."

"Well… then let's go to Amsterdam. We'll live in my old home and make sure that no vampire, werewolf or witch can enter it."

"And if they follow us?"

I sighed. He was right. No matter where we were then we were always going to be on the run. That wasn't the kind of life I wanted for my child or for myself.

"I'm scared, Klaus. What if…?"

"Don't even think that. I'm your husband and I'm not letting anywhere you. Not the Salvatores, not my siblings and definitely not my dead parents."

I was both amazed and happy about Klaus saying that, because it just showed that even the most evil hybrid could fall in love and have a family without losing the evilness I so very much loved...

Thanks for reading and please review! :D
