~ I tried to add a little bit of humor in this chapter, but there is a lot of drama... for those of you that like Klaus/Chelsea together... you should be happy (:

~ There was some people saying that they didn't want Haley pregnant in this story... but when you think about it... she couldn't be having Klaus's baby since she hasn't had sex with him in this story.

Nymartian: Well, the pregnancy is a main part of the episode, and I'm guessing the spin-off and Chelsea is the only one that has sex with Klaus in this ... I sort of have an interesting way of making the pregnancy happen (:

Anna.B: I think they said someone will die in the finale... possibly a main character. That's not Stefan, Elena, or Damon...at least I hope it's not Damon because his life will be in danger again. I loved the badass Elijah to, I think of of my favorite scenes of the episode when he killed the vampires in the alley. Marcel seems... evil, cocky, and mischievous. I don't really like him at the moment and I'm not sure if that will change... lol I hope that Klaus kills him or overthrows him eventually in the spin-off. Well, without spoiling it, Chelsea is a vampire, but was born a witch and she is a vamp/witch hybrid. Klaus is a vampire, but was born a werewolf and is the original vamp/wolf hybrid. I already wrote the pregnancy part (well, most of it) by the time you reviewed and I don't want to say much because then it will be spoiled and I love seeing your reactions in the reviews (: With the triangle, I think there are going to be seeds here and there for the Klaus/Chelsea/Elijah triangle that I want to do, but the triangle won't really start until the spin-off. The Klaus/Chelsea moment (well, moments) happen after the nice Elijah/Chelsea moment... which happens after Chelsea over-hears something. Chelsea isn't going to be in the scene when Marcel says that anyone who goes after one of his men will die, because of something I'm trying to make happen... which leads to the Elijah/Chelsea moment. If Chelsea is the one that's pregnant (I'm not going to say if she is or not because it's spoil this chapter) her magic might grow a little bit, but she would be carefully because (if) she was pregnant, she wouldn't want anything to happen to the baby. And her magic is already growing because of the expression. Chelsea already doesn't like Marcel because of what he's doing to the witches, so if it sort of goes the way I want it, then there will definitely be a power struggle when it comes to her and Marcel. I'm not sure how big it will be, it all depends on what's going to happen in the spin-off. They said that the spin-off was going to have a more adult-tone and be a little bit darker than TVD, which I'm looking forward to seeing. Although, this gives me two shows to obsessively watch this fall... lol Just a little random: I keep waiting to see you review The Other Hybrid again... lol because you reviewed it once and it was the most helpful review on the story... and I'm sort of at a block for it right now...

~ I think this chapter is actually a major part of the Chelsea/Klaus relationship as far as the end of season 4 and the beginning of the spin-off (because it's been picked up (: )

ENJOY!


Chelsea's POV

Nik and I followed Elijah toward a cemetery. I couldn't help but get a creepy feeling from cemetery.
"Why do I feel like zombies are going to rise out of the ground and attack?" I asked, mainly towards Nik and myself.
"That's because you watch too many horror movies love." Nik said with a little chuckle before kissing my forehead.
"I didn't hear you complaining last week." I said, knowing that I practically forced him into a movie night.
"What are we doing here?" Nik asked as we walked farther into the cemetery.
"You wanna know what the witches have in store for you?" Elijah asked. "Follow me."

We continued to follow Elijah until we entered a mausoleum.
"Sophie Deveraux." Nik said when we saw her standing by herself. "What is this?"
"They're all yours." Elijah said to her. "Proceed."
"You know you're famous in this town?" Sophie asked Klaus. "Witches tell bedtime stories about the powerful vampire Klaus. We know Marcel was nothing but an orphan street rat, until you made him what he is. And now he's out of control." I agreed with him being out of control, even though I've only seen a little bit of Marcel's power over the town. "He does what he wants, he kills who he wants. I'm gonna stop him, and you're gonna help me."
"This is why you brought us here?" Nik asked as he looked at Elijah.
"Hear her out." Elijah said and if it was just me, I would because I already wanted to do something about Marcel and I barely knew him.
"I don't need to hear her out." Nik said to Elijah before turning back towards Sophie. "I assure you, love, there is not a thing on this earth that will matter enough for me to waste even thirty more seconds of my time." I knew he meant other than me, but he wasn't going to say anything. "Elijah, what madness is this?" He asked Elijah, who didn't say anything.
"I think maybe we should listen." I said after a few moments, mainly because I wanted to get along with other witches. Nik looked at me, like he was actually thinking about it as a few witches stepped into the mausoleum.
"Marcel may be able to keep up from practicing real magic in this town, but as keepers of the balance we still know when nature has cooked up something new." Sophie said when Nik and I didn't say anything. "For example, I have a special gift... of sensing when a girl is pregnant." 'Wait, what?' I thought before looking at Sophie, who was looking at me. It took me a second to realize that she meant me.
"What?" I asked in disbelief. "Me? That's...that's impossible." I said, because nothing else would come out.
"What are you saying?" Nik asked, obviously in disbelief. I was silent, not knowing what to say.
"Niklaus... Chelsea is carrying your child." Elijah said. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing would come out. 'How could I be pregnant?' I couldn't help but ask myself before my hand and my eyes went to my stomach. 'I can't be pregnant'
"No. It's impossible. Vampires cannot procreate." I could tell that Nik still wasn't believing it and that he was getting a little mad. If this was a lie, they would definitely die and I think I would let him.
"But werewolves can and so can witches." I looked up at Sophie, who was looking at Nik. "Magic made you a vampire, but you were born a werewolf and Chelsea a witch. You're the Original hybrid, the first of your kind." Sophie looked at me. "You're the first of your kind to. The only witch ever to keep their powers after turning into a vampire." 'How did they know?' I couldn't help but ask myself as she looked towards Nik. "This pregnancy is one of nature's loopholes." I didn't say anything because I was still soaking it in. 'Vampires can't get pregnant' I couldn't help but think, even though Sophie sort of explained otherwise. "My sister gave her life to perform the spell she needed to confirm this pregnancy." Sophie said when it was clear that no one was going to say anything. "Because of Jane-Anne's sacrifice, the lives of this girl and her baby are now controlled by us." I couldn't help but be a little angry even though I was still in shock. "If you don't help us take down Marcel, so help me, Chelsea won't live long enough to see her first maternity dress."
"You wouldn't have a chance of killing me." I said with some anger and I noticed that the candles started to flicker.
"Enough of this." Elijah said and I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. "If you want Marcel dead, he's dead. I'll do it myself."
"No. We can't, not yet." Sophie said to him. "We have a clear plan that we need to follow, and there are rules."
"How dare you command me... " Nik quietly said and I knew all hell was going to break loose "... threaten me, with what you perceive to be my weaknesses. I won't hear any more lies." He started to leave, but it was like I was glued in place by shock. I still couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that I was pregnant.
"Niklaus." Elijah said, which made Nik stop and turn towards him. "Listen." Nik looked at me and I couldn't help but look down. My ears automatically start to hear the baby's heart. 'My baby' I couldn't help but think while I internally smiled. 'Our baby' I thought as I looked up at Nik, meeting his eyes. There were in his eyes, threatening to spill out. I knew that there was some in mine, mainly because I was happy if I was really pregnant.
"Kill the baby." I couldn't help but let out a gasp. 'How could he say that?' "What do I care?" Tears started to fall from my eyes and I knew Nik saw it because his expression quickly changed. He opened his mouth to say something, but I sped out before he even got the chance.


I couldn't help but cry. 'Why would he say that?' I couldn't help but ask myself. 'Does he even want a kid?' The tears wouldn't stop, but no sound would escape my mouth. I was crying in silence by myself and I just wanted Nik to wrap his arms around me. I could hear footsteps, but I wasn't sure whose they were, so I stayed in my spot.
"Niklaus." I could hear Elijah say and I figured that the footsteps had belong to Nik. A part of me wanted to move and talk to him, but I was still upset from what he said before.
"It's a trick, Elijah." Nik said and I could tell that he was still affected by what happened.
"No, brother. It's gift." Elijah said to Nik. "It's your chance, it's our chance." 'Do they know I'm here?' I asked myself as I stayed still and listened in.
"To what?"
"To start over. Take back everything we lost, everything that was taken from us. Niklaus, our own parents came to despise us. Our family was ruined, we were ruined. And since then, all that you have ever wanted, all that we have ever wanted was a family." I couldn't help but smile at Elijah's words. A family was all I ever wanted to, but after I became a vampire, it was impossible. I had a chance now, to have a family with Nik.
"I will not be manipulated." Nik said and I just took a deep breath. There was a part of me that wanted them to know I was listening in, but I just stayed quiet.
"So they're manipulating you. So what?" Elijah asked him. "With them, Chelsea and her child, your child, live." I couldn't help but smile at Elijah again.
"I'm gonna kill every last one of them." Nik said.
"And then what? Then you return to Mystic Falls to resume your life as the hated one, as the evil hybrid? Chelsea will hate you for killing the witches, for abandoning her and her child... your child." 'Our child' I couldn't help but think as Nik's face flashed in my mind. "Is it so important to you that people quake with fear at the sound of your name?" Elijah's voice brought me out of my thoughts.
"People quake with fear because I have the power to make them afraid." 'I have power to make people afraid, but I don't want anyone to be afraid of me' I couldn't help but think 'Except maybe Marcel' I thought as I held back a small evil smile. "What will this child offer me? Will it guarantee me power?"
"Family is power, Niklaus. Love, loyalty, that's power." I noticed that my tears started to slow. "This is what we swore to one another a thousand years ago, before life tore away what little humanity you had left, before ego, before anger, before paranoia created in this person before me someone I can barely even recognize as my own brother." Even though I was upset with Klaus for what he said, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him for hearing what Elijah just said. I fell in love with him for who he was now, not who he was in the past. 'Sure Nik is impulsive and he lets his anger get out of control sometimes, but he's still one of the best people I ever met despite his flaws.' "This is us, the Original family, and we remain together, always and forever. I am asking you to stay here. I will help you and I will stand by you. I will be your brother. We will build a home here together. So find Chelsea. Save your child."
"Okay." Nik said, which made me smile in surprise. I thought that he wouldn't look for me, but he was going to. 'He must really love me' I couldn't help but think as I listened to him walk away.

"I know you're here Chelsea." Elijah said when Nik was no longer in hearing distance. I thought about staying in my spot, but I felt that if I didn't move then Elijah would find me. I took a deep breath and stepped out into Elijah's view.
"Thank you..." I said to him "... for what you said to him." I said with a small smile and tears that were still on my face.
"He's my brother and you are the first person that has been willing to see past what everyone else sees." Elijah said and I slightly smiled because it was true.
"That's because no one ever took the time." I said, which was the only thing that would come out of my mouth. My hand went to my stomach again, like I was feeling my baby. "I know he can be stubborn and impulsive but who isn't?" I couldn't help but look down at my stomach again, still not believing that I was actually pregnant. "I'm going to look for him." I said after a few minutes before I looked up at Elijah. He just gave me a faint smile before I walked away to look from him.


I walked around for a little so I could look for Nik. There was a part of me that didn't want to be near him so soon after what he said, but I wanted to be near him. I eventually walked to an area where there was a band playing. The music made me stop and listen. It was something I wouldn't see in Mystic Falls unless it was a founders event so it was nice to see. After listening to the music for a few minutes, I noticed that a person was painting. I moved a little so I could get a better look at him and I couldn't help but think of Nik. The last time I saw him paint was before he gave me my car. I couldn't help but smile at the memory of it and the drawings that he has given me.
"You were with the hundred dollar guy." A woman said when she stepped up next to me.
"Yeah, my boyfriend." I said with a small smile, figuring out she meant Nik. "Do you paint?" I asked after a few moments.
"No, but I admire." She said to me. "Every artist has a story, you know."
"Yeah." I said as I watched the artist paint. I couldn't help but think of Nik and then I slightly smiled because I could feel him staring at me from behind us.
"And what do you think his story is?"
"He's... angry." She said after a few moments. "Dark. Doesn't feel safe and doesn't know what to do about it. He wishes he could control his demons instead of having his demons control him. He's lost. Alone." I couldn't help but think of Nik. Sometimes his anger, impulsiveness, and paranoia got in the way... but would make up for it sometimes. 'I should talk to him' I thought, still feeling his eyes on me. "Or maybe he just drank too much tonight. Sorry. Overzealous Psych major."
"That's fine." I said with a small smile.
"So, do you paint?" She asked me and I shook my head.
"My boyfriend does." I said and I realized that it was twice that I referred to Nik as my boyfriend. "I take photos once and awhile though." My photo album flashed in my head. "I'm gonna go." I said to her before turning around to see Nik still standing there. He just silently looked at me as I stepped up to him and slid my hand into his. We slowly started to walked with him, away from the crowd.


Nik and I silently walked towards a bench before we sat on it. I sat on his lap, which my legs over the side. He just looked at me before I decided to kiss him.
"I heard what Elijah said to you before." I said after I pulled away. "I love you and he's right. This baby... our baby," I said with a small smile as I carefully placed his hands on my stomach "... is our chance at a family." I laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. "It's all I could ever ask for." I knew that the tears wanted to return, but I just hoped that Nik wouldn't notice.

After a while of sitting on his lap, it seemed like I was falling asleep. I didn't know if he noticed, but it felt nice.
"Are you here to give me another pep talk on the joys of fatherhood?" Nik asked and I knew that he was asking Elijah, who I could feel sitting down next to us.
"I've said all I needed to say." Elijah said.
"I forgot how much I liked this town." Nik said as I brought one of my arms onto his shoulder because there was a part of me that felt like I was going to fall off of him.
"I didn't forget." Elijah said. "All the centuries we've spent together, and yet I can count on one hand the number of times that our family has been truly happy. I hated leaving here."
"As did I." I snuggled my head closer to Nik's neck.
"What is on your mind, brother?"
"For a thousand years, I lived in fear. Any time I settled anywhere, our father would hunt me down and... chase me off. He made me feel powerless, and I hated it." I wanted to say something, but I wanted to hear what else he had to say, not to mention I was practically falling asleep on him. "This town was my home once, and in my absence, Marcel has gotten everything that I ever wanted. Power, loyalty, family. I made him in my image and he has bettered me. I want what he has. I want to be king."
"And what of the baby?"
"Every king needs an heir."
"And a queen." I tiredly mumbled, which let them know I heard the whole conversation.
"And a queen." Nik repeated after me before he kissed my forehead.
"And the queen is tired." I said with a yawn.
"Let's get her to bed then." Nik said to me before he stood up with me in his arms.
"Good night Elijah." I said before Nik carried me away.


I walked next to Nik as he went to check up in the vampire that he bit. He knew that Marcel was going to be there and I didn't like him... but I felt like I had to, for Sophie's plan. I figured out that the best way to take Marcel down a peg or two was to do it from the inside... which I knew Nik would be good at. I wanted to go along with it, not only to help Nik get what he wanted... but to also help the witches. They shouldn't be treated the way Marcel was treating them and I wanted to change that.

We got to the room and I noticed that a lot of vampires were there. Marcel and Diego got up and I thought that Diego was going to attack Nik. Marcel stopped him, which gave Nik the opportunity to speak while I leaned against the doorway.
"I had time to sleep on it last night." Nik said to the whole room, but mainly Marcel. "I am not your enemy. Where my family and I failed this town... Marcel succeeded." Nik stepped up to a cabinet and grabbed a glass.
"His blood will heal him, " I said as Nik bit into his wrist and let his blood drip into the glass ", like it never happened." Marcel looked at the glass and then gave a nod to Diego, who took the glass to the vampire on the bed.
"The Quarter is your home, but I would like to stay a while with my girl, if we're still welcome." Marcel just grinned and placed his hands on Nik's neck. There was a part of me that wanted to give Marcel big aneurysm, but I stopped myself. It wouldn't be helpful and I knew that I would eventually get my chance.


After the vampire was healed, Nik and I left. We went outside I closed my eyes. I was glad to have fresh air on my face as I took a deep breath. I could hear a band playing and when I opened my eyes, I noticed that there was some people performing in front of us in the street. I took my phone out of my pocket and decided take a picture of them before taking a secret picture of Nik, who was watching them. He looked at me after I took it and I knew he knew that I took it. Nik just gave me a small smile as I slipped my phone back into my pocket.
"This is one of my favorite places in the world." He said to me. "There's food, music, art, culture, and all I can think about is how much I want to show you all of it." I couldn't help but smile before I kissed him.
"Let's start with the food. I'm hungry." I said with a smile, which made him smile. He stepped to my side and placed his arm around my waist. I just leaned my head against his side as we walked down the street.


~ I'm going to have Chelsea in Mystic Falls for the next episode and she may or may not help when it comes to Damon and Stefan trying to get Elena's humanity back. I want Chelsea and Damon to have a serious talk in the next chapter... maybe after No-humanity Elena taunts her. Hopefully I can get Chelsea's brother in the next chapter along with possible scenes with her and Rebecca.
~ I want to have Chelsea be at graduation, which is in the finale... and hopefully I can have a friendly Damon/Chelsea scene and hopefully more than one Klaus/Chelsea scene.

~ I'm going to try and get another chapter up for 'Secret Memories'. The chapter would be based from season 3 episode 3, The End Of The Affair. I just hope to see more reviews on that because it is going to be one of my main stories after this one ends with season 4. So if you like my writing, please check out my other stories.

~ Please don't forget to review. I try reply to any questions you have so if you have any, leave them in a review and I'll answer then in the author's note. And I always try to include any ideas you might have, so please don't be afraid to share (: That goes for all of my stories.

R&R 'till the next update
