Just as Amy was about to pick up the phone and call Kol, it rang. "Hello?" She greeted, hoping that whoever it was could talk fast.

"Amy?" Kol replied. "Listen, your sister ran off, and she seemed really upset. She wouldn't have, by any chance, told you where she went, would she?"

Amy sighed. "You know, I was just about to call you," she said. "Yes, Margot did come by, and she shared some news with me. I know you think that she's been ill for the last couple of months, but the truth is, she's pregnant, and thinks you'll reject her if you know, so she's at an abortion clinic right now, trying to abort the baby."

"What?" Kol asked. He sounded shocked. "You-you're kidding, aren't you?"

"I'm not," Amy replied. "And if you want to stop her from doing what she's doing, you'll have to do it quick."

She got on the internet and quickly called up the clinic where she thought Margot most likely had gone, and gave Kol the address. "Now hurry!" She urged. "If you want your child, that is. If you don't, just let her do what she's doing."

"No," Kol replied. "I'll be going. And thanks for telling me she's pregnant. She's told me it was the flu, but I didn't think the flu lasted as long as she's been sick."

"You're welcome," Amy replied. "Now go!"

"All right," Kol replied. He ran out to his car, looked quickly at the address Amy had given him, stuffed it in his pocket, and raced away from his house speedily, hoping he would get there in time before Margot did anything rash.

Kol reached the abortion clinic parking lot, hoping that he wasn't too late. He got out of his car and began walking around the lot, hoping that he wouldn't see Margot's. But he did, and his heart sank. He turned to go back to his car with a sigh, but then heard noises coming from her car that made him stop, turn around, and come back. He then peered in and saw that Margot was sitting in the back seat, her head buried in her arms. He knocked on the window and she started badly before sitting up, wiping off her tear-stained face, and opening the car door to let him in.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"Amy told me you might be here," Kol replied. "And I'm glad she did."

"Damn it, Amy!" Margot muttered, having apparently not heard the second part of what she said. "You weren't supposed to tell him a fucking thing! Now he's gonna leave me, and-" She paused, the second part of what he said finally reaching her. "What?" She asked. "Did you...did you say you were glad you found me?"

"Yes," Kol replied. "I'm glad I found you so we could talk about this before you did anything."

"Seriously?" Margot asked. "You wanna talk about it?"

"Yes," Kol replied, taking her in his arms and stroking her hair. "Let's go home, you can have a cup of something, and we can talk about this."

"And you won't leave?" Margot asked, pulling away from him.

"No," Kol replied with a soft smile, so unlike any of the other looks he'd ever given her. "I won't leave." He wiped her eyes. "Cause do you know how long it would take me to find another woman as pretty as me? I couldn't do it, so I guess you're stuck with me."

Margot was still staring at him, dumbfounded, before she finally sniffed and nodded, giving him a small smile. "Yeah," she said. "You're right."

Kol kissed her and took her in his arms. "Now," he said. "How about you zap my car home, and then we drive back together in yours."

"All right," Margot replied. "If that's what you want."

"Of course it is, since I suggested it," Kol replied. Margot then zapped his car away, and she and Kol got into the front seats of hers, and drove back home.

"You know," she said to him when they walked through the door. "It really surprises me that you're taking this so well. I thought it would be a shock for you."

"It's something I have to work on wrapping my mind around," Kol replied. "But it's nothing I can't handle. I've dealt with an invisible Savannah before, remember? After that, I think I can handle anything."

"Are you absolutely positive?" Margot asked. "Cause I wouldn't want to cramp your style or anything."

"Yes," Kol repeated. "I promise it's all right."

"Good," Margot replied. "I just needed to check."

The phone rang then and Kol answered it. "Kol?" Amy asked, her voice worried. "Did you get to Margot? Is she all right?"

"Yes, Amy, don't worry," Kol replied. "I found her, and the family is all in one piece."

"You mean you've decided to keep your child?" Amy asked. "That's surprising. I mean, I was hoping you would, but I wasn't really expecting it."

"Well, if I hadn't babysat your daughter before this, then yes, I would have been more likely to not want to be a parent to a witch-vampire hybrid," Kol replied. "But after Savannah, I know mostly what to expect, right?"

"Yep," Amy replied. "After Savannah, you've been through it all, practically."

"Good," Kol replied.

"Well," Amy said after a moment of silence, "I'll let you get back to my sister. I just wanted to call and make sure everything was okay."

Kol nodded. "Thanks for checking up, but I think we'll be all right." He hung up the phone and looked at Margot. "I think you should rest," he suggested. "What's happening to you right now is obviously a big strain, and I want you to lie down."

Margot looked up at him. "Fine," she said. "If you rest with me."

"I didn't mean it as a euphemism," Kol replied.

"I know you didn't," Margot told him. "Will you just...will you just come to bed with me?"

Kol sighed and followed her to their bedroom where she lay down on the bed and he went beside her. He thought it would make her fall asleep, but instead, she just stared lovingly into his eyes until he had to close his own. When he opened them again, Margot was asleep, her breathing even. Kol slowly, and carefully sat up and got out of bed, hoping he wouldn't wake her, then, he went into the living room, grabbed a beer, and asked himself how the hell he was gonna manage being a father.

"Why was it that you were calling my brother?" Klaus asked. "I wasn't aware the two of you even talked much."

"Well, this is an unusual situation," Amy told him. "Margot is pregnant and Kol is the father of her baby. She was gonna get an abortion without telling Kol about his impending fatherhood, but I let him know about it ahead of time. I hope he caught up to her before she did anything so the two of them could at least discuss it."

"You know, I would say you were insane for thinking that if I didn't know how he handles Savannah," Klaus replied. "He's actually very good with her."

"Yes, he is," Amy nodded. "And, speaking of babies, Lenora called me to say that Helene had her and Adrian's baby. It's a little boy. We need to go and visit them."

"Yes, we do," Klaus nodded. Then, he chuckled. "After two girls, it'll be interesting to see how Adrian handles a boy."

"Why?" Amy asked. "Do you think he'll do something wrong?"

"Well, no," Klaus replied. "But he'll probably behave differently toward his son than he does toward his daughters. I know I do. And Elijah does." He paused. "When we go see Adrian and Helene, just who will we leave Savannah with? Adrian and Helene are busy, obviously, Roxie is running the bar, so she won't be able to..."

"Jonathan, obviously," Amy replied.

"Why is it always him?" Klaus asked irritably. "There are other people in this world who could watch Savannah besides him, you know."

"Why do you still have a thing against Jonathan?" Amy asked. "It's not like he's pursuing me anymore."

"I don't know," Klaus replied. "Let's just say that I don't like him and leave it at that."

"Fine," Amy replied. "But he's still watching Savannah cause there's no one else that can."

"What about Selina and Elijah?" Klaus asked. "It's not like they haven't handled magical children before."

Amy gave him a look. "You're not gonna let this go, are you?"

"Nope!" Klaus replied. "I'm not!"

Taking this into consideration, Amy rolled her eyes and went to call Selina. When she got the okay, Amy drove Savannah to Elijah and Selina's, then she came back, got Klaus, and they went to Adrian and Helene's to see Liam.

But before Klaus and Amy made it to Helene and Adrian's, someone else showed up first. Helene and Adrian were playing with Liam when all of a sudden, Helene heard a small gasp and looked up to see Felicity staring at the three of them with tears in her eyes.

"Oh, dear," Helene said and handed Liam to Adrian. "Take him to his room, will you?" She asked Adrian. Adrian nodded, but just as he was about to go, Felicity said, "No. Don't. You don't have to walk on eggshells around me. Just keep on playing with him. I might even join you."

"Are you sure?" Helene asked. "Cause it wouldn't be any trouble for us to put him in his room for awhile so we could give you our undivided attention."

"Look," Felicity sighed and came to sit down on the sofa. "I know what you're trying to do, and I appreciate it, but I've come to realize that the more you treat me special, the more you trip over yourselves to make up for the mistakes of my childhood, the more I'm gonna be reminded of it and continue to feel isolated and bummed." She paused. "So, you wanna introduce me to my little brother?"

"All right," Helene replied once she finally decided to believe that Felicity was gonna be okay. She gestured for Adrian to carefully bring Liam over.

"I live to serve," Adrian replied dryly. Then, he cleared his throat. "Lissy, this is your brother. His name is Liam."

"Well, hi, Liam!" Felicity said. She kissed his head gently and gave her father a smile. "Preparing for his six month mark already?"

"Of course," Adrian replied. "If I don't, I know I won't be able to handle it. So, how have been? How's Stefan?"

"He's good and we're good," Felicity replied. "We have the boarding house to ourselves now that Sam and Addie found their own place. That is taking some getting used to."

"Why?" Helene asked. "I thought it would be thrilling to have a place to yourselves."

"Oh, it is," Felicity replied. "But we're working on finding that balance between, you know, being together and giving each other our space, you know?"

"Yeah," Helene nodded. "I guess. My parents have been coming to visit every couple of days and spending the night. I guess they're scared that if they leave us alone for too long, we're gonna mess things up again."

"Are they right?" Felicity asked.

"No," Helene assured her daughter. "We've talked about this, and made plans, so your father doesn't feel like I'm overstepping my boundaries."

"Yep," Adrian replied. "This is true."

"So Grandpa Alistair and Grandma Astrid have seen Liam," Felicity said, then looked at her father. "What about Grandpa Klaus and Grandma Selina?"

"Selina came," Helene said. "And said some things about your father that he's still embarrassed about, poor guy. But we haven't seen Klaus yet."

Just then, the doorbell rang. Adrian went to answer it and saw Amy on the other side, along with his father holding a medium sized stuffed bunny toy Amy had insisted they stop to buy on the way. "We're here!" He said. "Sorry it took so long."

"Well, speak of the devil!" Adrian said and hugged his father, taking the bunny toy away. "You know, we were just talking about you."

"Did I see Lissy's car out front?" Klaus asked.

"Yes!" Felicity called. "I'm here!" Klaus had barely enough time to hand Adrian the stuffed rabbit before Felicity ran into his arms and gave him a hug. "Sorry I haven't called or visited or anything like that lately," she apologized. "Things have been a little busy in my neck of the woods lately."

"That's all right," Klaus replied. "I'm glad you seem to be all right." He came into the room and looked at Liam with a wide grin. He was about to open his mouth when Adrian stopped him. "If you're gonna repeat what Mom said, don't."

Klaus paused. "All right then," he said. "You have a very good-looking boy there. It seems like my father's looks are still being handed down his line."

"Yeah," Helene replied. "It's something that my father is sort of bitter about."

"Really?" Klaus asked, sitting down. "I never thought of Alistair being the bitter type."

"Well, in this case, it's a sore spot," Helene replied.

"Poor guy," Amy said. Then she looked at Adrian. "How do you feel about having a son?" She asked.

"Well, it's gonna be different, that's for sure," Adrian replied. "You know, after he was born, Helene and I discussed how the witch community will view him. I mean, yeah he's part vampire, but since you all are so hard up for men, they might be less picky."

"But we'd be happy with whomever he chose to be with," Helene replied. "However, it's weird for us to be discussing this now, since he's not even very old."

"Lenora has a warlock boyfriend/housemate/for all intents and purposes husband," Klaus reminded his son. "All you have to do is find some rogue witch for him and there you go." He paused, looking at Adrian and Helene. "And let's not forget about the pair of you."

"Well, we're sort of atypical," Helene replied. "You can't apply our case to everyone."

"True," Klaus replied. "I'll give you that."

Amy then caught Helene's eye. "I hate to have to turn the subject away from Liam, who is in fact, the man of the hour, but Helene, at some point, would you mind having a chat with Margot?"

"Of course," Helene replied. "Why?"

"Well, she's pregnant," Amy said.

"She is?" Helene's jaw dropped a little. "Who's the father?"

"Kol," Klaus replied. "You know, my brother. I think both of them could use a talking to about this."

"Well, if Margot had to pick a vampire to get her pregnant, at least she picked the one who actually has something close to good standing with the witch community," Helene said.

"They both seem pretty nervous," Amy replied. "I hope-I hope keeping the baby wasn't a bad decision on their parts."

"I think that once they get used to it, it'll be okay," Klaus said. "Remember how they both are with Savannah."

Then, he looked at Felicity. "You've been awfully quiet," he commented. "Do you have anything you wanna say?"

"No," Felicity shrugged. "You can keep talking. I don't mind." But she stood up and looked at her father. "Where's the beer?" She asked. "I need a drink."

"Out in the garage," Adrian replied. "Want me to get it for you?"

"No, thanks," Felicity replied. "I can get it myself." She left, and Adrian sighed. "I think we messed up," he said. "She comes all the way here and all we can do is talk about Liam."

"It's cause he's new," Amy replied. "I'm sure she understands that. Don't beat yourself up."

A short while later, Felicity came back with her beer, drank it, then offered to watch Liam so everyone else could engage in conversation and activities without him.

"It's sweet," Helene told her. "But you don't have to do that."

"I want to," Felicity replied, holding out her hands for her baby brother. "It's no trouble, really."

"All right," Helene said, handing Liam over to his sister. "If you're sure."

"Yes," Felicity replied. "I'm sure." She then took him to his room, and Helene said to Amy, "when would be the best time to call your sister?"

"As soon as you possibly can, I think," Amy replied. "Not that there's anything to worry about when it comes to the baby's welfare, but a little encouragement would perk Margot up a lot."

"I think I'll go call her right now," Helene said. "Is she home?"

"Yeah," Amy replied. "Since she got the news, she's hardly gone anywhere else."

The phone call from Helene made Margot feel much better. Good enough to have a frank discussion with Kol about their situation, something he'd been avoiding, presumably out of fear of hurting her feelings.

"I'm scared as hell about having this baby," she told Kol over breakfast the next day. "Are you? And you can be honest. It won't bother me."

"Yes," Kol replied. "I'm scared. I mean, I know we've had practice with Savannah, but it's one thing to watch a kid for a few hours and then give them back. This kid is gonna be ours. Once we have it, we can't give it back! And you know how you and I are. The hobbies we engaged in before this all happened. What's that gonna mean for our future kid?" He nervously ran his fingers through his hair. "I'm gonna have to start drinking from blood bags," he said. "No hunting for me, at least not until the baby's born."

"This was exactly what I was afraid of," Margot said. "That the second you heard I was pregnant, you were gonna start changing everything about yourself. You don't have to do that, you know."

"You don't think so?" Kol asked.

"No," Margot replied. "I mean sure, we might have to par down some of our favorite activities once we have a kid, but we don't have to change everything. As long as we, you know, take care of our kid and are good to them, we should just be able to be who we are."

"And you really think we can do it?" Kol asked.

"Yeah, I think we can." Margot took a deep breath. "I know my sudden optimism is weird, but it's like, once I told you about this whole thing, and no longer had to worry about your reaction to it, it's like every bit of stress and bad feeling that I had just went away."

"I wish the same could be said for me," Kol replied.

"Maybe there's someone I could call to give you a pep talk like Helene gave to me," Margot said. "What do you think?"

"It might help," Kol replied. "But I don't know. I suppose it wouldn't hurt. If you find someone, just let me know."

"All right," Margot said. She then came up to him, hugged him, and looked him straight in the eye. "We're gonna get through this, you know," she said. "And we're gonna do a great job."

"Yeah," Kol nodded, although he still didn't have the same level of optimistic feelings that she did. "Tell me that enough times, and really think I'll be able to start believing it."
