Hope came down the stairs and jumped at Cami.

"Happy Halloween!"

Cami shook her head amused. Hope was wearing plastic vampire teeth.

"What are you doing silly girl?"

"We're having our Halloween party at school."

"I know Auntie Bex and Uncle Elijah made you special cupcakes to take."

She smiled and put her hand on Cami's stomach. "I wish my brother was here. We could have fun."

Cami smiled and kissed her cheek. "Soon enough Princess."

Hope ran into the kitchen and flashed her fake teeth at everyone.

"Look I look just like Daddy!"

They all chuckled. Kol knelt in front of her.

"Well if you really wish to look like your father you need the freaky eyes he gets."

She giggled and hugged him. Rebekah set a plastic carrier on the counter.

"Well you have some fabulous cupcakes to take with you if I do say so myself."

Hope nodded and climbed onto a stool. "And then we can go trick or treating tonight?"

Kol smiled. "Absolutely. I'll take you myself."

Hayley groaned and looked at Klaus. "Great she'll be scarred for life."

He chuckled. Hope ate her breakfast quickly then ran upstairs. She turned to Cami.

"Can I wear my costume from last Halloween to school?"

Cami nodded and helped her put it on. It was a black tutu witch dress with the matching pointed hat and some glittery black tights. Hope slid into her black ballet flats and had Cami braid her hair in pigtails. She then pouted.

"Can I have glitter on my face? Witches should glitter."

Cami rolled her eyes but obliged. Hope grabbed her backpack and ran down stairs.

"I'm ready."

Freya made a face. "Why do humans think we all have pointed hats and ride around on broomsticks?"

Hope shrugged and grabbed Klaus's hand. "Come on Daddy."

He smiled and grabbed her cupcakes for her. Hope accepted her lunchbox from Elijah and kissed his cheek. Once she was in the car Hope looked at Cami and Klaus.

"Mommy what are you dressing up as?"

Cami smiled. "A doppelganger."

Klaus chuckled while Hope looked confused.

"What does that costume look like?"

"I'm already wearing it."

Hope still looked confused. When she got to school Cami and Klaus walked her in together. Her teacher smiled at them.

"Good morning Hope. You look adorable."

Hope smiled. "Thank you." She pointed to Klaus. "This is my Daddy."

Mrs. Call shook Klaus's hand. "Mr. Mikaelson it's nice to meet you. You have a very bright little girl."

He smiled. "Thank you."

Cami handed her the cupcakes then kissed Hope's cheek.

"Have a good day Princess."

She nodded and kissed Klaus's cheek before running to her seat.

"Uncle Kol!"

Hope was waiting by the door in her Harley Quinn Halloween costume. Cami had done her hair in high pigtails and sprayed red on one and blue on the other. Kol walked down the stairs.

"Hold your mallet I am coming."

Hope twirled her clown mallet in the air. Cami wasn't thrilled that it was real. Rebekah found it in their old family relics. Freya followed Kol wearing an angel halo on her head.

"This is going to be so much fun!"

Cami cocked her brow. "Freya you do realize you're a little old to be trick or treating."

She smiled. "I know but I never got to go as a child. It sounds like fun."

Cami looked at Kol. "Keep your eyes on her at all times."

"Scout's Honor."

She rolled her eyes and watched as they walked outside. Cami sat down next to Klaus in the den. Hayley smiled.

"Who is more excited? Hope or Freya?"

They all laughed. Rebekah took it upon herself to hand out candy to whatever kids were brave enough to ring the doorbell. Klaus took to reading a very old dusty book. Cami looked at the cover and threw him a look.

"This is what you do on Halloween? You read Grimm fairytales?"

He chuckled. "An original copy at that."

Elijah spoke as he poured himself a drink. "I was rather fond of Wilhelm but Jakob on the other hand was rather annoying for my taste."

Hayley smiled. "You actually knew them?"

"We spent a rather eventful evening in a quaint little pub just outside of Hanau Germany. In fact a couple of their stories came from Niklaus."

Cami looked at Klaus. "Seriously?"

He shrugged. "I was quite blistered from drink so I must admit that night escapes my memory."

She rolled her eyes and laid her head on his shoulder. He kept reading while she closed her eyes and let her thoughts take over. She opened them when she heard the door open once more and Kol's voice filtering into the room. Hope stormed in and stomped her feet at him.

"That was not funny!"

Kol smiled highly amused. "I thought it was."

Hope sat down next to Cami with her "Daddy's Little Monster" canvas bag filled to the brim with candy. "He jumped out from behind a bush and grabbed me."

Cami threw him a look. "Seriously?"

He shrugged. "I am toughening her up."

Hope crossed her arms. "I'll go with Uncle Elijah next year."

They all smiled. Freya walked in and was pouring a pixie stick into her mouth. She looked at them.

"Have you ever tried this stuff before? It's like sour dust that is different colors."

They all tried hard not to laugh. Hope reached into her bag and grabbed a lollipop. She stuck it into her mouth still glowering at Kol. By the time Hope went to bed she had eaten two lollipops, five mini candy bars, two pixie sticks, and a pack of sour skittles. She had been wired for close to an hour before she crashed still in her costume.

A couple of weeks later Cami was tossing and turning in bed. She looked and saw that Klaus's side was still empty. He and the others went to look for something with Vincent leaving Cami alone with Josh and Hope. She sighed. The baby was kicking like crazy making it impossible for her to sleep. Also she hated sleeping without Klaus by her side. Just his presence was comforting. She tried again to fall to sleep but a small scream drifted into the room. She rushed into Hope's room and found her thrashing around in her sleep.

"No! Don't get me! Daddy help me!"

Cami gently shook her awake. "Hope."

Hope blinked then looked at her. "Mommy?"

Cami sat down and hugged her. "It's okay it was only a dream."

Hope looked worried. "She was taking us away and Daddy couldn't get to us."

"Don't worry. Daddy won't let anything happen to you."

She nodded but then looked at Cami. "Can I sleep in your bed? Just for tonight?"

Cami nodded. "Sure. Grab Wolfie."

She and Hope climbed into Klaus's overly large bed. Hope snuggled against Cami and smiled.

"Is that my brother?"

"Yup. He is strong isn't he?"

She nodded and started talking to Cami's stomach. "Hi Brother. I'll see you soon."

Cami giggled and kissed her forehead. "I love you Hope."

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Klaus and the others came home around two in the morning. He went upstairs and decided to check on Hope first. He was stunned to see that her bed was empty. He checked Cami's old room and found that bed untouched. He went into he and Cami's room and gave a sigh of relief. Cami was asleep on her side facing the door fast asleep. And there was Hope in the middle of the bed. He smiled and climbed in next to her. When Cami woke the next morning she turned over and saw Hope snuggled against Klaus's chest. Klaus opened his eyes and smiled at her. He motioned for her to follow him out. She snuck out of bed and made sure Hope had blankets tucked around her. Klaus spoke to her in the kitchen.

"I nearly had a heart attack when she wasn't in her bed."

She nodded. "She had another dream."

He poured himself coffee and watched as she poured herself some juice. "So you let her into our bed?"

"Well I wasn't sleeping anyways." She threw him an accusing look. "I use to sleep just fine on my own. Now your son feels the need to use me as a trampoline because he knows your not there."

He chuckled. "My apologizes."

He kissed her softly before starting to make breakfast. She sat on one of the stools.

"Speaking of last night did you guys get a lead on that symbol?"

He nodded. "It appears to be some kind of representation of the solstice. Perhaps warning the witches of it's arrival."

She nodded. "So it's not anything to worry about?"

"So far no." He walked over and looked at her carefully. "And you shouldn't be worrying about anything except for yourself and our son."

She sighed. "I am worried about our son."

He kissed her forehead. "No one will harm him."
