After the appointment they walked out to Klaus's car both in their own little world of thought. Nevaeh was over the moon happy thinking about having a little girl, and how she could dress her up. She was wondering what her personality would be like, how she would look. She wondered what her aspirations would be. While she was practically skip waddling to the car Klaus was smiling thinking of the baby. He had never been around for a gender reveal, he never thought about children persay. He of course thought of his hybrids but they were not truly family. He had sworn to her he would be there for her, and that he wanted her and this child. He had meant it then, but now more then ever the feelings of needing and wanting to protect Angel and her little princess were stronger then any other feeling. He would hanger his mate, and he would have a daughter. This unborn princess her story closely mirrored his. No one knew it, but the Lockwoods were werewolves, he could tell but he had also tracked the mutt that had gotten in front of Angels vehicle that night. Mason Lockwood, Tyler Lockwoods uncle. This baby wasn't his blood but that he didn't care about she would be Mikelson, so would Angel. They had gotten into the car by now and Klaus turned to Angel smiling.
"Lets go baby girl shopping!" He announced to a surprised Nevaeh.
"You Klaus Mikelson want to go baby doing with me?" She asked teasingly. He laughed as he started to car and headed to the bigger town over.
"Klaus I didn't bring my credit card with me…" Nevaeh said exasperated as she dug through her purse. She hadn't expected an impromptu shopping trip.
"This is on me Angel. I also saw a few smaller houses around Mystic Falls for sale that looked safe enough. I know you were wanting to move, and I don't think you are ready to move in with me…."Klaus said not taking his eyes off the road. Nevaeh was shocked. He was really getting into this, and he was looking out for her. He actually had a very sweet side under all the bravado and testosterone. She smiled happily thinking about how he could actually be the man she needed and wanted.
"I can pay you back…"
"Nope the shopping trip today is on me. After we shop I will take you by the houses, see which one you want." He insisted happy she was finally letting him take charge a bit. They finally rolled into the parking garage at the mall, he paid the toll, and they parked near an elevater.
"You know you doomed yourself right? Your taking me shopping for my baby girl! You are going to be in pink hell!" She laughed as she grabbed his hand and guided him inside and towards Macy baby department. He gave her a concerned look when she said this.
"Well Klaus where shall we start?" She said as they stopped and stared at the vast baby department. Klaus was speechless and Nevaeh was a bit overwhelmed, but she laughed as she watched this self-proclaimed bad with his leather jacket and boots just stare lost.
"Well, Angel lets start big first! Lets get the furniture and what not." He said feeling sure that that would be the easiest place to start, I mean its just furniture right!?
"Okay well let's start with the baby carrier, and stroller. That should be easy!" Nevaeh said as they headed over to the strollers. As they walked through the aisle they both faltered.
"Really? Why are there 20 kinds of strollers? This is ridiculous! How do we decide what to get? And do you need more then one? Are you going to go jogging, or this one is for off roading… .what is off roading for a baby?" Klaus growled looking at all the ridiculous designs.
"I truly haven't a clue. This one is huge and bulky, this one is supoosed to be easily collapsible, but they don't look sturdy." Nevaeh was as frustrated as Klaus was. The Klaus saw it. He went over to a carriage stroller. Its was pink, but it looked liked what the women used to carry their babies in. And it was a 2 in 1 so it was a carriage then folded up into situp position.
"I like this one! Simple, pink, and a design that has apparently transcended time!" Klaus said as Nevaeh walked over to look. She squealed, she loved it.
"Oh my god I love this! Yep we have to get it! Great choice!" Nevaeh praised as Klaus loaded the carriage into the buggy.
"Okay so car seat next, then we can look at bassinets, and cribs." Nevaeh announced leading the way to the car seats. She quickly picked out a pink car seat and headed to the bassinets.
"Those do not look sturdy at all. Nope princess can not be put in the that!" Klaus refused as they looked at the wobbly bassinets, to Nevaehs dismay she did agree with him. He then went to the cribs picked out a mahogany wood crib with ping netting going around and pink princess bedding.
"Lets go look at the clothes!" Nevaeh said her head hurting from looking at all the furniture. She drug him over to the girls clothes and started throwing in onsies and a little onesie that says The Princess has arrived. After almost three hours they checked out. She took the bags of clothes with her, but Klaus had the furniture sent to his place where he would keep it until she moved.
"Alright now to the houses. There is a specific one I want you too see first! It's a very cute three bedroom cottage. It has a stone wall around it with a garden. Its really cute it reminded me a lot of you." Klaus said trying to pitch the house.
" Oh it wouldn't happen to be your favorite because its right by your mansion in eyesight and probably earshot?" she asked laughing as he looked sheepishly at her as they pulled up the cute pathway. Nevaeh had to admit this looked like a cute cottage from a fairytale. He opened her door for her. They walked into the house and Nevaeh instantly fell in love. It was a true cottage. So cute and homey. In the small livingroom there was a brick fireplace, the kitchen was woodsy, and the three bedrooms had bay windows. Klaus smiled to himself as he watched her excitedly go from one room to the next. The little cottage was exactly what she wanted and it was close enough for him to be aware of everything that was going on but far enough she felt independent.
"I love this house! I have to haves this one!" Nevaeh said twirling around in the living room. She was the picture of pure innocence and beauty at this moment, Klause couldn't help but be swept up in the moment. He walked over to her as she handed him her hand he did a small twirl. He then brought her close to him and they gently fell to the floor. He kissed her as they snuggled in close to each other.
"Then it shall be yours Angel. You can move in tomorrow!" He announced as he lay twirling a strand of her blonde locks between his fingers. Nevaeh sighed as she snuggled into Klaus's chest her hand resting over his heart. They sat in happy silence for a bit before Klaus spoke.
"You should text everyone, have them meet us at the grill! So you can reveal the gender of Princess, and tell your siblings about you moving." He whispered into her hair as he breathed in coconuts. She sighed.
"Do we have to move? Im comfortable, Im happy!" She half heartedly complained as she lazily got her phone out and sent a mass group text telling everyone to meet them at the Grill for the reveal. Before she could even look up after the text she started getting texts. Everyone was excited to find out. Nevaeh and Klaus laughed as they read over the texts together. They eventually got up and headed out to the car so they could meet up with the group. They had all decided to wear a shirt the color they though the gender would be.
"We should bring one of the pink onesies put it in one of those clothes boxes and let one of them open it to reveal the gender!" Klaus suggested as they drove. Nevaeh looked at him mischievously.
"Oh my god have got been watching gender reveal videos on YouTube?" Nevaeh laughed as she saw a slight smirk come across Klaus's face. "I love it! Here let me get it into the box before we go in!" She squealed as she reached to the backseat to grab a pink onesie and a box. They drove up into the Grill parking lot just as she finished closing the box.
"Let's go see how ridiculous everyone looks!" Nevaeh said laughing. Klaus laughed but his senses told him they were being watched. He did a quick look around before he put his arm around Nevaehs waist and walked her inside. As they stepped in they were greeted by cheers of felt slightly out of place. He was not use to this, but could this be what he could expect with having family? They walked over to the table and Nevaeh burst out laughing as stefan took off his jacket to reveal a pink t-shirt.
"What? Real men wear pink!" He joked as he fist bumped Jeremy who was wearing a matching pink t-shirt. Caroline bounced over hugging Nevaeh as she was wearing a pink dress and a pink ribbon in her hair to just send a clear message she was completely for team girl. Elena walked over and hugged her sister wearing a blue t-shirt and blue ribbon. Matt joined the table laughing as he sported a blue ribbon on his head since he had to stay in uniform for work. Bonnie walked in wearing a pink t-shirt.
"Im so happy everyone made it in such short notice!" Nevaeh gushed as she at surrounded by all the people she loved. When she sat down Klaus quickly sat beside her, drapping is arm over her shoulder as him and Stefan started their own small talk. She felt safe, and warm in his embrace. She really liked this feeling. Elena looked at her sister and smiled, she could see she was happy, and Klaus was making her more comfortable and happier then she had ever been. Maybe her sister was finding her life she wanted.
"Do you think we would miss this? Especially me? Being the godmother and all?" Caroline quipped making everyone at the table laugh.
"Okay let's get this going I have to know!" Elena said clapping her hands excitedly.
"Okay! Okay… well.. Klaus thought of a great gender reveal so Im going to let him explain!" Nevaeh said nudging Klaus as he looked up a bit shocked. Everyone turned to him expectantly.
"Okay well. We put a onesie in this box and someone has to open it to reveal the gender. But Im going to one up it… the people who choose the wrong gender have too…. Drink the number of people who got it right shots… so if it's a boy all the girl guessers would have to drink 2 shots, if it's a girl the boy guessers have to drink 4 shots!" Klaus proclaimed as eveyone around the table got excited loving this game.
"Heck yeah let's do this! Who gets to open it?" Stefan said as everyone was getting hyped up.
"Be fair everyone get around the table and we can spin a glass. If the open end of the glass lands on you, you get to open the box!" Nevaeh said laughing as everyone immediately circled the table. Klaus grabbed a glass sat ut in the middle of the table and spun. Everyone in the circle were chanting me, me, me. The glass finally stopped and it landed on Jeremy.
"Ha I win! Hand me the box! Let's reveal this gender!" Jeremy yelled happily as he grabbed the box. He opened it, throwing the top across the table as he moved the tissue paper away from started hooping and hollering as he pulled out the pink onesie!
"It's a GIRL! It's a Girl!" He shouted hugging Stefan as they chanted we knew it together. Caroline and Bonnie hugged laughing excited they had been right. Elena laughed excited it was a girl, but a little worried about the four shots she and matt were about to have down.
Nevaeh laughed excited everyone was having fun but she just needed to step away from the excitement for a minute. Klaus had went to the bar to get the shots so she headed to the bar to breathe. She sat down on one of the barstools resting when she felt someone looking at her she turned to her right and was met with those Icey blue eyes.
"Hello Angel!" Damon huskily greeted smirking at Nevaeh as she gasped feeling really uncomfortable.
