A/N: Hi guys, this probably will be my last update for a few weeks, because I have to get back to studying for the Bar Exam.
I own nothing
R&R Please!
Always and forever my love
Bonnie gasped as the wave crashed under her body and Klaus continued to please her with his mouth as she lay flat on their private beach completely naked. Klaus held Bonnie's thighs as the waves from the sea and his ministrations rocked her. His tongue lavished her core that was now getting mixed with the salty sea water.
Klaus moves his body to where he is positioned on top of Bonnie and enters her slowly. He holds his weight with his arms careful not to put too much weight on top of Bonnie as he slowly thrust inside her. Bonnie places one arm on his shoulder the other on his arm, trying to pull him closer. Their love making had reached a certain tame point since the news of her pregnancy. He was always more careful now, always aware of the little life growing inside his wife.
Bonnie moans wrapping her legs around him moaning his name. Klaus pulls one of Bonnie's legs closer burying himself deeper inside her. Before long the two reach their climaxes and they lay together on the beach letting the waves softly crash at their feet. Bonnie turns as Klaus lies on his back, his eyes closed as he savors the moments of peace he has been rewarded.
Bonnie stares at his face and his toned chest and abs. Sometimes it was hard for her to believe that she was now married to Klaus Mikealson. Not because their first introductions were murder attempts but because their relationship since her arrival in New Orleans had come so far. She still couldn't believe that their one kiss, had led to a relationship, and they'd fallen in love, and Klaus had wanted to marry her. The adoration she felt for him sometimes was overwhelming. She was happy that she had been so wrong to doubt Klaus' feelings for her and their baby.
Klaus could feel her staring at him and began to chuckle "see something you like my love?" he said while opening one eye and peeking over at Bonnie. "Actually I do" Bonnie smiled back and leaned over and placed a quick kiss to his lips.
She then got up and grabbed her bikini which Klaus had made quick work of taking off and wrapped herself in her towel, and walked back to the house. Klaus followed behind her also wrapping his towel around his waist. Usually he would have no shame or embarrassment and walk the entire house and beach totally naked but they had compelled humans working in the house today and Klaus knew how Bonnie still wanted him to pretend to have modesty around humans.
Bonnie entered the house and could smell the delicious food their housekeeper Zara was cooking. Bonnie smiled as Zara informed her dinner would be ready soon. It amazed Bonnie how more comfortable she'd become with the idea of compulsion. Usually she was completely against it. But Bonnie had to get used to it with the Mikealson's. At least the servants who worked for the Mikealson's were not fed on, and actually paid a good wage. They were just compelled to never discuss anything they heard or saw happen inside the house and never to reveal the names of their employers or people who lived inside the house. Bonnie soon came to realize that it was for their safety and the safety of the compelled servants.
After showering together, Bonnie and Klaus sit down in the lovely dining room for dinner. "So who's house was this?" Bonnie asks as she twirls her fork on the plate. "Kol's" Klaus replies. Bonnie nods, the younger Mikealson was rarely around, always travelling, exploring, getting into trouble, getting his siblings to bail him out, rinse, and repeat.
Bonnie had only seen him a few times during her time in New Orleans. He was one of the first to point out the fact that Bonnie and Klaus obviously had a thing for each other. She still remembers the embarrassing time Klaus had placed his hand on Bonnie's knee under the table during a family dinner once, and Kol had pointed it out in front of the whole family "Nik are you checking the hem of Bonnie's skirt over there? I've got some measuring tape if you'd like" Klaus had quickly moved his hand away from Bonnie's knee, glared at Kol, and continued eating. Bonnie remembers Kol's words embarrassing her, but Klaus' actions making her feel worse somehow, like he was ashamed.
Kol may have been annoying with teasing her and Klaus, but overall she'd found him to be charming and funny, and he'd treated Bonnie just like his sisters, always nagging and picking on them. Kol made Bonnie feel like a part of the family.
"Actually I bought it for him as a gift and then he totally destroyed it when he threw a ridiculous party here in the 70's, then after getting involved with a very nasty Russian Mob, it was an awful shoot out in the 90's. I got it renovated and fixed up a few years ago and made it part of the communal family properties, usually only Elijah comes here." Klaus said while drinking his wine.
Bonnie nodded and listened intently. She enjoyed hearing stories about his family, even the elusive younger one.
After dinner Bonnie sips tea and Klaus has another glass of wine as they sit on the balcony watching the sunset on the beach. Bonnie never wanted this moment to end, and she never wanted this feeling of complete peace to end. Klaus looked at Bonnie as if reading her mind and kissed her hand whispering "always and forever my love".
"This is ridiculous Bonnie. You have the most skilled OBGYN in the witch community and instead of delivering our child safe and sound in her clinic you want to do it here in the bath tub!?" Klaus shouted as Bonnie sat on the bed rubbing her large belly. She'd decided within the last few weeks of her pregnancy to go the natural route. Her OBGYN Dr. Sasha Marks had already explained to her that some witches didn't feel any pain during childbirth, some felt all the pain in childbirth like the baby was not just coming out, but also dragging all of their bodies magic with them. But because Bonnie was carrying the baby of a hybrid she honestly didn't know what to expect for Bonnie.
Dr. Marks had been completely fascinated to get the case of the hybrid and the witch, with the couple's permission she'd been documenting Bonnie's pregnancy. While she had heard the hybrid had impregnated a female wolf, she knew nothing of the outcome of the pregnancy. She took the time to explain to Bonnie the different pregnancies a witch could have. Some witches couldn't use their magic during pregnancy and some witches felt magical boosts during pregnancy. According to Bonnie she had felt just normal, as if the baby didn't affect her magic at all, which made her wonder if the baby would be born just a werewolf, or werewolf/vampire hybrid like his father with no magic. She also been curious about Bonnie's cravings, while Bonnie hadn't craved blood per say, she did admit to sometimes craving Klaus' blood specifically, and she seemed to always have the overwhelming urge for his scent. Bonnie had taken to wrapping herself in his coats when he was gone, just to be near his scent. Dr. Marks was convinced the baby would have the werewolf gene.
Bonnie sits on the bed and rubs her stomach, her N.J was quit active today. While they hadn't asked Dr. Marks to confirm the sex, wanting to trust Hope's premonition, Bonnie had taken to secretly calling the baby N.J or Niklaus Jr. "All this modern technology and you women this century want to go back 100 years" he huffed as he continued to place the wheels on the crib he was fixing. "Klaus the natural way is safer, and plus I don't know what kind of drugs could hurt the baby or my magic even. It's better and safer this way" she said annoyed that once again they were having this conversation. "I want Dr. Marks here, along with all of her medical supplies" Klaus said firmly, sitting the crib up right and checking to make sure every part had been connected properly. Bonnie nodded to his terms, this was the only way he'd stop protesting her decision.
As Klaus placed the mattress inside the crib, Bonnie watched as Klaus carefully slid the sheets on, and filled the crib with the blanket and stuffed animal Rebekah had purchased the other day. Her eyes became watery as she watched Klaus' actions with such delicacy, he already was a wonderful father to Hope, and she knew he would be the same for their baby.
She felt so special to be one of the few people that saw the hybrid in such a vulnerable way. It was amazing to be one of the few people that not only had Klaus Mikealson's protection, but his heart as well.
Niklaus Henrick Mickaelson II is born at the early hours of 3:30am in the Mikeaelson compound in New Orleans. Upon his arrival in the master bathroom grand claw foot bathtub, he is greeted by his crying mother, his yelling father, his squealing Aunt Rebekah, and a fascinated Dr. Marks.
Bonnie holds him as she leans back in the bed and Dr. Marks checks both her and the baby. Bonnie is wrapped in her huge purple cotton bathrobe and N.J is wrapped in a fluffy white towel. He is perfect. From his sandy brown hair, to his chubby red cheeks, and his little plump red lips. Bonnie smiles, he is Klaus in every way except his piercing green eyes.
"Mom and baby look good. Now we just have to see what this little man will want to drink" Dr. Mark's said. Bonnie had not produced any milk during her pregnancy, which Dr. Mark had told Bonnie was no cause of concern, many normal and witch pregnancies had cases were women did not produce any milk. Rebekah quickly went to the table and grabbed the 2 bottles, one containing warm formula, and the other warm animal blood. Bonnie had been adamant that if the baby did prefer blood that it be animal, something about her perfect little baby needing human blood made her a little uncomfortable.
Bonnie took the formula first and placed the bottle in N.J's mouth, to her relief he began to suckle and was drinking the milk, then suddenly he made a face and Bonnie removed the bottle, N.J spit all of the milk back up and onto Bonnie's robe. Dr. Mark's quickly gave Bonnie a towel while Klaus took the formula out her hand and gave her the one with blood. Once again N.J drank some and did the same thing, spitting it up, this time Bonnie anticipated and it all got on the towel. Bonnie panicked as N.J began to cry, and looked to Klaus with tearful eyes, they didn't know what N.J needed. They didn't know what to feed him. Hayley had informed Bonnie that Hope had been just like a human baby and drank her milk, then formula. Rebekah then moved to the dresser and produced another bottle that was filled with a pink concoction. I had a weird idea that maybe he'd like both, she said. Bonnie took the bottle, desperate to feed her son, N.J took the bottle and began to drink, and continued. When half the bottle was gone, Dr. Marks sat back and took notes, relieved that they had found a way to feed the baby. Seemed he enjoyed milk mixed with animal blood.
As Bonnie continued to feed N.J there was a loud knock on the door and then it burst open, "can I see him now please" hope squealed as she bounded to the bed. Hayley ran behind her. She knew Hope was desperate to see her new baby brother, but she also wanted Bonnie and Klaus to have a moment with their baby, Klaus hadn't been able to have that when Hope was born so this was his second chance. Elijah soon followed by Freya and Kol all piled into the room.
Bonnie moved over in the bed and motioned for Hope to come and sit beside her. Hope leaned over and placed a kiss on top of N.J's head as he began to float to sleep with his belly full and sufficiently burped, and snug in his mother's arms. "He's perfect Bonnie, just like my dream" Hope said softly so as not to wake him. Bonnie leaned over and placed a kiss on top of Hope's head and they both smiled.
"His name?" Kol said impatiently, they all gathered around the bed, Bonnie and Klaus had been secretive about his name and refused to reveal any of their considerations. Klaus placed his hand on Bonnie's shoulder and they both looked at each other with love in their eyes. "Everyone please meet Niklaus Henrick Mikaelson II" Klaus said proudly. Everyone began to quietly murmur in praise. "After Henrick" Rebekah said, tears forming in her eyes, Elijah and Kol also began to tear up, so grateful that Bonnie had allowed her son to honor their brother's memory by carrying his name, the pain of his lost still feeling as new as yesterday instead of a thousand years ago.
It's a regular Sunday evening in the Mikaelson household. Hayley, Elijah, and Freya are making dinner, Klaus is in his studio holding N.J and showing him the different paintings on the wall and explaining to him the different artists and why these are the best, determined to have his son cultered and the world of fine art just like him, N.J just snuggles closer to his father's chest and watches his eyes intently, as if he can really understand every word Klaus is saying. Hope sits behind Klaus' desk and draws in the new sketch pad he has just bought her, and Bonnie splayed out on the bed in Klaus' room books everywhere as she gets ready to start her classes again next week. She was lucky that her school had allowed her to keep up with classes by doing work online. But now she was ready to return.
Sometimes Klaus would complain at the mess of books and notebooks he would trip over, used to having an immaculate room. After their return from their honeymoon, Rebekah, through her constant need to keep herself entertained, had completely redecorated Klaus' room. They came home to a brand new huge California king bed, the walk through closet redesigned to fit Bonnie's things, her vanity and dresser. Bonnie's room was now N.J's room, and Rebekah had had it repainted to a neutral gray and white, and had purchased baby clothes, diapers, and all the supplies Bonnie would ever need.
Klaus had been upset about Rebekah's decision to completely redecorate their rooms, but seeing Bonnie's smile at the newly furnished nursery had been enough to calm his temper.
When dinner was ready and the family gathered at the table, Klaus placed N.J in his cradle that was beside the table, since he was fast asleep. Bonnie came downstairs and went straight to check on N.J, she caressed his plump cheeks then took a seat beside Klaus, giving him a quick kiss on the lips. "Daddy N.J looks just like you" Hope says watching N.J sleep in his cradle. She'd become a very protective big sister these past few weeks and was constantly watching over him. "He does, I'm afraid Bonnie that you've actually brought a mini Niklaus into this world" Rebekah said smiling at her nephew, but rolling her eyes at the thought that N.J would inherit all of her brother's traits. The world had enough drama and wreckage with one Niklaus it didn't need two.
Bonnie laughed and rolled her eyes "it takes two" she said drinking her glass of wine. So happy to once again feel the lovely liquid slide down her throat. The table laughed at Bonnie's comment, and Klaus pinched her playfully under the table causing Bonnie to laugh.
The atmosphere is light and serene until a frantic noise and vampire hisses are heard outside, along with yelling. Klaus and Elijah immediately jump up from the table and move towards the foyer when one of Klaus' hybrid's who is charged with standing guard outside the house, comes into the dining room. Klaus and Elijah move towards him and there are hushed whispers and finally a scoff can be heard coming from Klaus. "Forgive the intrusion Klaus but the Salvatore brothers and a Caroline Forbes are outside demanding to see your wife.
Klaus is about to tell his hybrid to get rid of them, when Bonnie walks in hearing the 'demanding to see your wife' part of the conversation. "Klaus what's going on?" Bonnie says softly, he gives her a look, and she knows that look very well. It's his look of frustration when he knows he has to be honest about something, but he really doesn't want to be.
"Your little Misfit Falls group is outside, wanting to see you" Bonnie gasps at the revelation. She hadn't spoken to them in years. She's been so focused on moving on with her life, and then there was school and now the baby. Bonnie was curious to know what they wanted, they'd come all the way from Virginia to see her, it must be important.
Klaus knew the look on Bonnie's face. It was the 'my friends must need my help so I must spring into action and risk it all'. Klaus huffed, "Bonnie you just had a baby and I'm not going to let you do anything to put your life in danger. You're a mother now, there are more important responsibilities". Bonnie was taken aback by Klaus' words, while a part of her knew he was only saying this because he worried the other bigger part was upset he would think so little of her love for their child. "Klaus do you really think I would do anything to endanger my life, or the life of our son. Everything I do in this world is now to protect him. Don't insult me as a mother Niklaus" Bonnie spat. Klaus flinched at Bonnie's use of his full name, those were rare occasions but when they did happen he knew he was in big trouble.
Klaus pressed his hands against her cheeks, lovingly caressing her soft skin with his thumbs "darling I know you would never do anything like that, and I would never insult you as a mother. You're a wonderful mother, I just don't want them to ask something of you, and you feel obligated to help. I want you to tell me that if it's too much, you will say no" Klaus' tone was firm, but his eyes were pleading. Bonnie leaned into his touch, closing her eyes and nodding yes, agreeing with Klaus.
Elijah, who'd been standing near the door, nodded his head and signaled for the hybrids to escort the Mystic Falls group inside. At this point the whole family had gathered in the living room as Stefan, Damon, and Caroline were not so politely escorted in by 4 hybrids. Rebekah rocked N.J in her arms as he peacefully slept. She stayed near the door leading to the living room watching everyone pile in.
At first Caroline didn't recognize Bonnie. It wasn't in just the way she looked, but also the way she seemed. She carried herself differently now. More regal, would be the best description Caroline could come up with. She wore a black fit and flare dress with pink roses all over it, the dress hugged her curves which seemed fuller, and flared at the bottom almost touching her knee. She wore simple black flats on her feet. "Bonnie" she beamed, happy to be seeing her friend. Caroline walked toward Bonnie extending her arms and Bonnie did the same until Klaus' hybrid jerked her back. Caroline made a shocked face, and Bonnie looked to Klaus, "it's fine" she said. Klaus nodded to his hybrid and he released Caroline. Caroline hesitantly took a step towards Bonnie who met her the rest of the way and engulfed her into a hug.
Stefan and Damon were happy to see Bonnie, but they also knew better than to make any moves that could be considered a threat. They were standing inside the Mikaelson compound and knew that if they said the wrong thing, Klaus or Elijah wouldn't hesitate to kill them.
"What's going on?" Bonnie said looking to the three of them, taking note that Elena was not there. Bonnie was happy to see her friends but honestly she wanted to get straight to the point, she had a baby to take care of and school to get ready for.
"Elena has been kidnapped" Stefan said calmly. Klaus who'd been quietly sitting on the couch behind Bonnie scoffs muttering "of course". Bonnie nodded waiting for more information. Honestly she wasn't surprised by the revelation, trouble always seemed to follow Elena. "We've been fighting this coven of witches known as the Gemini for almost a year now, they kidnapped Elena a few days ago, they need doppelganger blood for some spell." Damon said as he continued to look around at the family that just stared at him and his brother and Caroline with great annoyance, not noticing Rebekah in the back of the room holding a baby.
"What kind of spell?" Elijah asked. When they'd mentioned the Gemini coven at the wedding he'd done some research. They were a powerful coven, seeking the immortal stone that would make witches immortal, putting them on a higher playing ground than vampires. Perhaps doppelganger blood was part of the spell.
"I don't know. But when that Kai bastard came for Elena, he said her blood was the missing piece to complete the stone." Damon spat, still angry at how that witch had bested him.
"Still doesn't explain what you need Bonnie for?" Klaus spat, just as angry that this group of morons had interrupted his family dinner, and now once again attempting to drag his wife into some drama. "We made a deal" Caroline said, "they need a lot of magic to channel the spell, even the whole coven will barely be powerful enough. We told them we knew a Bennett witch and they said if you helped with the spell, they would return Elena safely" Caroline looked at Bonnie with pleading eyes. Bonnie bit her bottom lip nervously looking to Klaus, he was about to say something when N.J's cries startled everyone. "Someone's up and hungry" Rebekah cooed. Bonnie went straight for him, taking him out of Rebekah's arms as Rebekah sped into the kitchen and returned with his bottle.
They Mystic Falls group all stared at Bonnie, then at the entire family who's attention seemed to be split on Bonnie and them. Did the Mikaelson's adopt a baby? They all thought. But as Bonnie held N.J closer and they got a better look their eyes widened at the realization. There was no denying the similarities between the baby and Klaus. Kol rolled his eyes, feeling like a protective uncle all of a sudden "yea Bonnie and Nik knocked boots and had a baby, get on with it twits." Bonnie continued to feed N.J, her focus had been on him but she glanced a look at Caroline.
"Omg Bonnie" Caroline whispered. She tried to move closer to see the baby, but as soon as she took a step toward Bonnie, Klaus stood up from the couch, and Elijah stood on front of her as the hybrid behind her pulled her back. "It's ok, I trust Caroline" Bonnie said to the entire over protective family. She debated in her mind as she walked N.J towards Caroline and the others that N.J was still in the safest place he could possibly be.
"He's beautiful Bonnie" Caroline whispered. Bonnie smiled at her and suddenly realized that Hope had somehow appeared to be beside her, she was watching Caroline intensively for a moment. Bonnie realized Hope was gauging whether or not she could trust Caroline with her baby brother. Hope's protectiveness of her brother must come from her father and being a wolf Bonnie thinks. Caroline looked down at that little girl "is that –" "step daughter, yes" Bonnie said answering Caroline's questions. Caroline had heard that Klaus had a child with a wolf, she didn't know how true the rumor were though.
Hope looked to Bonnie, "I trust her" Bonnie nodded, "me too". Caroline with all her excitement stretched out her arms and Bonnie gingerly placed N.J in her arms. "What's his name?" she asked softly. Bonnie couldn't contain the giggle in her voice as she said "Niklaus" Caroline eyes widened and tried to hide her shock. "Of course" she murmured, smiling to Bonnie.
Stefan and Damon watched Caroline hold the baby. Bonnie's baby. Stefan was not surprised that Klaus was able to impregnate a witch, since he'd been able to impregnate a wolf. He was also not surprised that Bonnie had moved on with her life, they'd watched her marry Klaus, not surprised that they now had a family.
Damon on the other hand was wracking his brain trying to make sense of all this. Looking at the timing he realized that Bonnie must've been pregnant before their wedding. Maybe he'd married her out of obligation. He was a billion years old. Probably still old school and traditional. But deep down Damon knew from remembering Klaus' vows to Bonnie that he had married for a totally different reason. He knew that this child was born out of love and being raised by loving parents.
Bonnie takes N.J again and sits down on the couch, Hope follows her and sits beside her, holding N.J's little hand as he drifts back to sleep.
"So this spell" Freya says interrupting the quiet moment. "Your basically trading Bonnie for your friend Elena" Bonnie rocks N.J carefully, silently agreeing with Freya. If the spell was dangerous it could hurt her, all to guarantee Elena's return.
"With the power of their coven and Bonnie's magic, they are certain the spell will work and no one will suffer any magical exertion" Stefan says looking from Freya, to Bonnie, and then to Klaus who was still standing, now behind the couch, being the protective father and husband, posture stiff and face unreadable.
"You don't even know what this spell does? What the consequences of it are. You come into my home and ask my wife to put her life on hold and once again play your savior." Klaus hissed at them.
Bonnie reached back and touched her husband's hand, instantly calming him. She'd been contemplating Caroline's words since Rebekah placed N.J in her arms. She'd read about the Gemini coven in of Klaus' grimoires but she wasn't that familiar with them. She thought about Elena, being kidnapped, probably afraid for her life, she thought about them so desperate to get her safely returned they made a deal, then traveled here just in the hopes that she would agree and go with them to perform a spell.
Bonnie stood and placed N.J in his cradle. She walked over to Klaus and placed her hand on his arm, holding it tight for support, physical, emotional or perhaps both, she was unsure. "No" she said loud and clear. Earning a shocked gasp from Caroline, Damon, and Stefan.
Klaus smirked, placing his other hand on top of Bonnie's and giving her a reassuring grip. "Get them out of here" he said to his hybrids.
