Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved

*will be shorter than the others*

~In labour~

Carolyn laid on the bed crying in pain. She glanced over at Hayley who looked worried. "Anything Davina?" She asked for Carolyn, who was incapacitated with pain. Davina shook her head as her brows furrowed deeper. Davina was trying to slow, or even stop, the birth. Hayley took Carolyn's hand as she closed her eyes with a whine as another contraction hit. Carolyn was left a panting sweaty mess. "How far are the contractions?" Hayley asked. Davina pulled her sleeve back to show her watch. "Uh... about every 3 to 4 minutes for 1 minute. That means you're close to giving birth, Carolyn."

Carolyn nodded. A shiver shuddered her body as she looked up at her friend. "Any luck?" Hayley asked. "No... I'm sorry but I can't slow the birth... When a witch dies, the ability to undo the spell dies with them. You're just gonna have to ride it out..." Carolyn's back arched as another contraction tore through her body. "How are the others?" She asked once the contraction wore off. "I don't know... Hayley, I'll stay here and you go to the fight... I'll keep watch over Carolyn and send you a message when she's ready to give birth," Davina said. Hayley nodded. "Ok, good luck Carolyn,"

It wasn't long before Hayley reached the battlefield. It was definitely a close call. James had arrived with just over 15 people, which would ordinarily mean that he would be winning... but he was facing beings that were over hundreds of years old and 2 hybrids... the chances weren't great. Hayley looked up over the head of the squirming man whose heart she was pulling out and blinked. There was a bright red flashing light coming from upstairs. She dropped the body and wiped her hands on her jeans. She sped upstairs and peered into the room. Carolyn was bent over the bed, her face red and damp. Davina looked up at the doorway and gasped in relief, "Thank god you're here, Hayley... I need backup," Hayley walked into the room slowly, "Um, shouldn't I clean myself first?" Hayley asked. Davina waved a hand and Hayley was clean, her clothes free of blood. Hayley quickly moved over and stood by Carolyn. "You doing ok?" She asked, placing a hand on her shoulder. Carolyn looked up and glared, "Yes, perfectly fine. Just trying to squeeze a watermelon out of my vag... Just a breeze," Hayley nodded. "At least you aren't being cursed at the same time like I was!" Carolyn gave a small huff.

Klaus wiped his hands on his trousers and sighed. "Well, I'd say this was a good fight, wouldn't you, lads?" All he received was tired glances and bored faces. "Well, you two are no fun at all!" He exclaimed. He turned to Becca to say something when a loud, high pitched wail echoed around the room. His brows knitted and he made a move to go upstairs when Becca stopped him. "Wash yourself before you even think of going in there," She warned. Klaus glared at her but Becca didn't relent. Eventually, he sighed and went off to clean himself off.

Just after Klaus had left, Becca heard another high pitched cry. Frowning, she made her way up to the doorway. Putting her hands to her face, she let out a loud gasp. Hayley was holding a baby in a pink jumper while Davina was cleaning off another baby. Having avoided all the blood, Becca walked into the room and stared at the baby in Hayley's arms. "Wanna hold her?" Carolyn asked from the bed. Becca nodded and Hayley gently handed the baby over. Becca stared into the baby's eyes and watched as a series of emotions flashed through her eyes before they shut again. She looked at Carolyn and smiled. "She's beautiful, Care." She whispered, gently rocking the baby to sleep. Carolyn just smiled tiredly and watched as Davina gently rocked the other baby. "What're their names?"

"Zoë Valentina and Olivia Serena Heights,"

Carolyn had a small sad smile on her face as she stood with her backpack on and her 6-week old daughters in their buggy. Hayley walked up with tears in her eyes. "I'm gonna miss you, Care." Carolyn bit back tears. "So will I," She finally whispered. "I'm gonna come down soon, you know that right? Becks and D will probably come as well... I'll bring Hope? We can have a girly day out," Carolyn could see her friend slowly breaking down. "I know... and I'll have a big enough house for you all to stay in," The youngest daughter began fussing. Carolyn picked her up with a small grunt, "Hey Olivia! Baby girl," she cooed. Hayley grinned, "God, she's grown in the last 6 weeks... stay little, young miss. I don't wanna see that you've grown when I next come to see you! Or you!" Hayley pointed to Zoë. The two girls just looked at her blankly. Hayley gave Carolyn one last hug, "Stay safe, yeah?" Carolyn nodded and blinked away tears.

Rebekah, Elijah, Davina and Kol all said their goodbyes with a few tears (shed by the girls) before going off and leaving Carolyn alone.

Just as she opened the door, she heard someone clear their throat. "Hey, Klaus," Carolyn whispered. The man walked over with a sad look on his face. He glanced down at the twins in the buggy. Carolyn followed his gaze and saw him staring at Zoë, who was watching him intently. Carolyn bent down and picked the youngest daughter up before she handed her over. "I missed out on so much with Hope," he whispered watching as the baby's eyes shut. Carolyn cradled Olivia with love in her eyes as the baby fell asleep like her sister. She looked up and into the hybrid's eyes. "Do you really have to leave?" Carolyn bit her lip,"I really don't want to... but yes. My daughters deserve to have a normal childhood... and I can give them that if I move away... do you honestly believe that if I could, I would still raise them here?" Klaus said nothing as he bent down to put Zoë back in the buggy. She fussed a little from the sudden lack of contact. Carolyn put Olivia in the buggy as well and gently rocked it. "I will come back to New Orleans someday, Nik. I promise. I'll bring the girls and we'll spend more time here. You can even come to ours if you wanted to... but I do need to go..." Klaus pulled her in for a hug.

They embraced for a while, just enjoying each other's bodies. Klaus kissed the top of her head when she pulled away.
"I'll see you soon, Klaus."
"You better do,"
