At first, it was thought to be because of the party for Chain.

Being exposed to new people and having a drink was very different to Ursa.

But for an immortal to be ill, almost seemed like a strange irony. But Ursa had been sick, throwing up and experiencing stomach pain for the past few weeks. Her condition was concerning to Klaus and the others, as she had referenced that she had no memory of ever getting sick before.

First, she was limited to the office, then to the bed. When it didn't seem to get any better, a call to Luciana was made. She wanted to examine Ursa and set up a date. Being not exactly normal, it was thought that it would be best if she was admitted there instead of the normal hospital.

With the city under attack and the team being called out for protocol, Gilbert took it upon himself to drop Ursa off at the hospital.

"Hey Ursa, long time no see. I'm sorry that we had to meet again under these circumstances," Luciana said as she escorted Ursa to an examination room.

"It is no bother Lady Luciana, I should be sorry for the short notice," Ursa said as she sat down on the table. Luciana went through the motions, taking blood and such. When she returned with the results, she seemed rather concerned.

"Ursa… have you, ah," Luciana didn't know how to proceed with her question. Running through her thoughts, she settled on going through with her initial idea. "I'll need to do an ultrasound of your stomach."

The results were shocking and Luciana told her that she needed to perform a quick procedure. After it was finished, Luciana sat back in her chair and bounced her leg up and down. She knew about Klaus and Ursa's relationship and now that it had been taken to the next level, she was curious about Ursa's feelings. She seemed to not understand the meaning behind what Luciana had to do, so unfortunately, Luciana had to break some tough news.

"Ursa, I'm really sorry, but what you were experiencing was pregnancy and a miscarriage." Luciana gulped, almost wishing she could take back the words. Ursa's expression changed drastically and she started to breath heavily. Luciana held fast, as she knew by acting calmly, she could hopefully help soften the blow to Ursa. Ursa's mind usually worked with logic, so Luciana thought that would be the best way to explain her situation to her.

"I-I-" Ursa stuttered as she stared wildly at Luciana.

"I'm sorry to say, but due to the immense stress on your body, it rejected the baby. I know it's hard to hear but I think if you want to have children, you should probably go through surgery to help remove the scar tissue and other contusions within your body. From what Dr. Magradegrano says, your blood is full of a strange microorganism that helps keep you young and your organs running at a normal human rate. So you're really human at the core still. It makes sense that you'd still be able to use your reproductive system," Luciana said as she paged through one of her books but she stopped and looked back up to Ursa. It hurt her to see this woman who had treated her with such respect and kindness, look so lost and confused.

"But, how?" Ursa looked down at her hands, unsure of where else her mind could go.

"You mean you've never had this happen before?" Luciana couldn't help her own curiosity. She would have assumed that due to her many years alive, Ursa would have being in a relationship or two, but from her response, it seemed like she didn't.

"Ah!" Ursa's face erupted into a red that was brighter than her hair and she fumbled about trying to think of what she was going to say. "Well, I've never met anyone before Klaus," her words trailed off as she thought of all the couples and memories she had. She had dealt with the All Seeing Eyes of the Gods holders falling in and out of love. She'd experienced many marriages and down points in their lives with them. She never thought about herself being in those situations. Trying to write off all her luck to her scar, Ursa never admitted that she actually was too afraid of romance and dealing with it. "I never loved anyone else."

"OH!" Luciana's clones rushed into one to create her adult form and she grabbed onto Ursa's face. Ursa looked on in confusion as Luciana looked deeply into Ursa's eyes. She smiled at Ursa and let go of her face. "That's quite romantic," she said. Sitting back down, she sighed though. As amazing and fairy tale like the story was, there was still a harsh reality behind it all. Ursa was pregnant with Klaus's child. "How do you plan on telling him about the miscarriage?" Luciana looked towards Ursa who just stared back.

"Umm, I'm not sure. Is it important?" Ursa's uncertainty stemmed from her lack of experience in the situation. She still didn't understand relationships and it was hard for her to figure out. This caused Luciana to jump back out of her chair and she grabbed on Ursa's face again.

"Of course it is! You are in this together! Besides, if you go through with the surgeries, you will need to sustain from any physical activities for a while," Luciana said, censoring it slightly to save Ursa from passing out like the last time she mentioned sex. "Also, it's important to figure out whether or not you want to even have children. It's a dangerous time we live in and Hellsalem's Lot isn't really the best place to raise a child, even though there are plenty of people who do it." Luciana placed a hand on her chin. "Although, you and Mr. Reinherz are well adapted enough to deal with any situations that may come your way. Honestly," Luciana paused to smile with a sparkle. "You'd make some real cute babies."

"Ack!"

"Ursa!"

After readjusting Ursa upright, Luciana split apart to grab various books to hand to Ursa. They ranged from the surgeries she'd have to undergo as well as parenting books.

"Lady Luciana," Ursa's voice trailed off as she stared down at the books in her arms. The clones stopped moving around, watching Ursa as she seemed quite sad. "I'm not sure I could be a parent. I have no memories of my own, so I wouldn't know what to do," Ursa told Luciana.

"Hmm, Ursa, I don't think many people know what they are doing when they become parents, but it's a part of the experience of growing and learning. You many have lived a long time, but even you can continue to learn." Luciana offered a comforting smile from all of her clones. "Besides, who wouldn't want a badass momma like you," Luciana joked. Ursa smiled back, knowing that she had tell Klaus about what Luciana said.

"Just one thing," Ursa said as she reached the doors of the hospital.

"What is it?" asked Luciana.

"I just want to say, you are the greatest doctor I've met and I hope you continue on this route, as long as it makes you happy." Ursa smiled before she left. Luciana felt herself brim with joy. To have an immortal tell you that out of all their years living, you were the pinnacle of your craft, was more than just a moral boost.

"Alright!" With all her clones pumped up, she continued her work with a smile from ear to ear.

Ursa on the other hand, fought against herself.

How do I tell him that my body couldn't support a child… our child? Ursa could barely hold onto the fact that she had been carrying a child for some time.

The elevator doors opened and she took a step out. The books were heavy on her arms and she dragged her feet into the office. Gilbert and Klaus were the only ones in the room. Even then, she felt her heart restrict as the full force of what had been said finally hit her.

She had a child.

She lost a child.

She could have a child.

Falling to the ground, she knew that Klaus and Gilbert were both by her side but she could only touch her stomach with a shaky hand.

I can have a child? Their voices didn't reach her until she felt herself being pressed into Klaus's chest. He picked her up carefully, knowing that she had visited the hospital. Gilbert in turn, picked up the bag and couldn't help but notice the titles on the spins of the books. His eyes widened as he watched Klaus take Ursa away to his bedroom to rest.

Miss Ursa… is it possible? Gilbert thought. It had been a question in the air between the members if Klaus and Ursa would tie the knot, but even more about whether or not they would have kids. This came from K.K., who was convinced Ursa and Klaus would make wonderful parents. It didn't help that Zapp had to bring up her immortally and the question whether or not she could even have children.

As Klaus placed Ursa down on the bed, he was stopped by the hand that clutched onto the front of his shirt.

"Klaus… there is something I need to tell you," Ursa's voice was incredibly soft. Klaus sat beside her, taking her hands into his. The calluses on her hands from wielding her sword didn't take away from how delicate they seemed in his hands. She tightened her grip and placed her forehead against his shoulder.

"Klaus," she attempted to calm her breaths, knowing that this was something she had to say. "I saw Lady Luciana and she told me… that I became ill because I was pregnant." The air stilled and Klaus's eyes widened. His posture froze and his mind ran over the words a number of times until he stopped on just one.

Was.

"Ursa," he took her face into his hands to see that she was crying.

"My-my body couldn't handle it though," she said through her sobs. Klaus ushered her into his lap and he cradled her close to his body. It was a long moment of silence before Ursa spoke.

"It's because I hadn't allowed my body to recover properly over the years. What keeps me from falling apart has been trying to heal, but because I keep getting hurt, it was overworked and couldn't do it." Ursa pulled herself away to look into Klaus's eyes. Even though he could still feel her body shake, she put a smile on her face. "But-but she said that if I went through surgery, I'd be able to recover enough to be able to support a baby." She stopped, looking away as she was scared to ask him what his thoughts even were about having a baby.

"Ursa, if that is something you wish to do, I will support you." Ursa cringed slightly, as if his words didn't give her enough support. So to make himself heard, he made her look at him. "I haven't thought about having children. I knew my life was dangerous, which lead me to stay away from relationships in general, but upon getting to know you, I realized just how strong the human spirit can be. Even if you say that you've strived to stop existing, you still persevered. I've admired that in you." Klaus paused when he watched Ursa blink away her tears.

"If this is the journey we take together, then it's worth wishing for."

"But what if-"Ursa cried out but was hushed by Klaus placing his hand on her cheek.

"I believe that together, we can overcome any obstacle, even that of raising a child," Klaus told her before they exchanged a kiss. It was painful, Klaus could admit that. Even if he never thought of children, the knowledge of the miscarriage hurt him. He felt that it was his fault, that maybe he rushed their interactions. The short amount of time they were considered a couple wasn't a lot, but Ursa wanted nothing more than to be with Klaus all the time. His guilt seemed to show to Ursa who kissed him and took her turn to comfort him.

After their soft intimate time, Ursa told Klaus of the books that Luciana had given her. They agreed that the surgery would be important, not only for the future of having children, but also for Ursa's general health. They also decided to keep the miscarriage between themselves and Gilbert, who whole heartedly agreed on the surgery. He expressed his condolences, but was happy at the prospect of children in the future.

"Ursa!" Leo called out when he reached the office. He had received a call from her to come over. It was still strange for him that she had moved in with Klaus, but if she was happy, that was all that matter. She always managed to pop in on him at times and would stay the night occasionally. He didn't mind, but Gilbert told him that Klaus didn't seem to sleep well on those nights, so Leo convinced Ursa that he'd always be in reach.

"Sir Leo!" Ursa tried her best to act normal after her crying fit.

"Ah, are you alright?" Leo asked upon seeing that her eyes were still red and slightly puffy.

"Yes!" She yelled out. She blinked a few times before Ursa realized how much her voice was raised. "Oh, umm. Sir Leo, I need you to promise that within the next month or two, you'll avoid anything that would hurt you." Ursa smiled as she clasped onto his hands. Leo just tilted his head to the side, but upon seeing Klaus approached, he seemed to get the message.

"Surgery huh?" Leo said as he watched Sonic nestle into Ursa's hair.

"Yes," Klaus said, his hand holding onto Ursa's. He knew she could be prone to crying, especially if he or Leo was involved, so he wanted to support her as much as he could.

"I believe most of the damage is from the fight with the blood breed back a long while ago. He tore through most of my organs and it was hard to keep up enough to repair myself back then. If it wasn't for the blood I had been storing in Excalibur for many years, who knows what would have happened," Ursa said. Her casual tone about the past made both Leo and Klaus stare at her.

"So Ursa will be restricted to the headquarters for the time after the surgeries. There will be multiple ones, so there will be a very long recovery time," Klaus declared.

"Ah, don't you think that's a bit much?" Leo said, but regretted it and quickly withdrew his words upon seeing the intense stare of Klaus. "I mean of course! You never know what's going to happen out there so it's best to stay indoors!" Leo waved his arms about dramatically. He stopped his flailing as Ursa gave him a reassuring smile. He knew Klaus could be protective, but it did seem slightly overboard.

"Other than trips to see Lady Luciana, I won't be seeing much of the outside until my body is fully healed."

"Huh, guess that means Christmas here then?" Leo asked. Klaus placed his hand on his chin in thought. It would be their first Christmas together, so he realized that he would have to push up his plans to a closer date to make that day even more special.

"Like a party?" Ursa seemed to delve into thought as well. "My last Christmas would have been with Lady Catherine and her family. Ah! But are you not going home for Christmas then this year Sir Leo!?" Ursa seemed to portray concern but Leo quelled her thoughts.

"Ah, well you see," Leo felt his face cave as Ursa had jumped across the table to hold onto his face.

"You should go and see your sister! Lady Michella must miss your presence!" Ursa stared deeply into Leo's eyes and he could feel himself getting uncomfortable, especially with Klaus in the room. The large male stood up at Ursa's sudden action and tried to get her to sit back down.

"Ursa, could you please let go of my face and it's just not that simple," Leo asked as she seemed to squish in his cheeks.

"Oh!" Apologizing, Ursa returned to her space by Klaus, who put an arm around her shoulders to keep her from jumping around again. Leo sighed, thinking that it had been so long since he had even just spoken with Michella. Sure letters were nice, but he missed her voice and somehow couldn't find the courage to call her up.

He shifted his gaze to Klaus and Ursa who sat across. She had asked if he had seen Excalibur so that she could clean the sword. Klaus returned with that it was probably best that she refrained from handling such heavy objects, which caused her to sigh and nod in response, while holding a pout on her face. Klaus just smiled at her actions and pulled her in closer to him, which caused her to blush and hide her face in her hair.

This reminded Leo of that thing Klaus had asked him about last week. He made a note to send Klaus back his opinion on the matter later, not wanting to spoil it in front of Ursa.

"Yeah, so… I bet K.K. will be busy with her family, but everyone else would probably be open for a small party." Leo offered up. It was going to be December in a week and he could see from Ursa's expression that she was excited for it.

After they spoke some more and detailed out that the surgery would be taken place in about a week, Leo left them alone.

"Klaus," Ursa sung as she leaned over the side of him as he worked on his laptop. He stopped his typing upon the kiss he received on his cheek. Turning his attention towards Ursa, he smiled back at her.

"Sir Gilbert said that your birthday is also in December." Ursa started to say but hesitated as she tried to work out her thoughts. "Do people still celebrate with gifts around here?" Ursa wasn't sure of all the customs, especially with anything that happened in the United States or Hellsalem's Lot.

"Ursa you don't have to get me anything for my birthday. Just having you here is enough," Klaus said while giving her a kiss. Her response of a pout made Klaus chuckle as the childish side of the knight seemed to come out more often. It was quite adorable.

"Hmm," she hummed in thought. Klaus watched her as she made her way over to Excalibur. He had put the sword within almost a show case of sorts. He didn't want Ursa to strain herself and he made her promise that she wouldn't try lifting the sword during her recovery time. She jumped slightly as she felt Klaus wrap his arms around her waist and felt him rest his chin on her head. Resting into the embrace, Ursa allowed all the tension to drain out of her body.

Gilbert smiled as he placed down the tea for the couple upon Klaus's desk. He left them to their moment, but not without leaving a slip underneath Klaus's computer.

So, what you think?

It's gonna be tough for Ursa but she can pull through. I know miscarriages can be really tough and painful, especially for people who try for children. Of course, Ursa didn't really know well that she could still have children (I rather not read about the painful reality of reproductive things such as periods in fanfiction. We ladies experience the pain every month so I think that's enough. I do get it lends to a realism, but man do they suck so I don't like being reminded of that. I live it, I understand). So to justfy this slightly, cause I think most immortal beings or long life entities cannot have kids, Ursa's body, to keep up with healing, would shut down that part of her. So unlike the rest of us, she would't experience at least the full extent of a period.

Sorry to anyone who finds that uncomfortable but it really shouldn't be. It's apart of what creates life so regardless of the female and or male audience, yall should know how that works. Life isn't just boom magic. It's a multi step program... or something.

Unfortunately! This means very, very limited action on Ursa's part. So I would welcome ideas on how to make her life more interesting without her getting hurt or having to fight. I love the fights in the show, as they have so much physical as well as emotional power behind them. I plan for the surgery to go on during the Lock Out episode. Soo yeah, it is very unfortunate, but it also does keep her from interfering since I think the final episodes are very important for Leo's development and you cant just have someone running around with a sacred sword, slashing everything up.

Who is she, Link?... It's funny cause it's a Zelda joke. Pity laugh please.
