A few minutes after the birth Freya gathered Hope from the closet and gave Cami and Klaus some time alone. She walked downstairs and smiled at everyone.
"He's here."
They all smiled. Meanwhile Cami had moved over so Klaus could sit next to her. She didn't hesitated to hand their son over to him. Klaus held him and broke into a grin. His son squirmed and opened his eyes. Klaus spoke to him softly.
"You are loved and you are safe."
Cami smiled and laid her head on his shoulder. Klaus cradled the baby on his chest and looked at Cami.
"How do you feel?"
"Tired but happy."
He nodded and handed the baby back. Freya knocked on the bedroom door and smiled.
"How is he?"
Cami looked at the baby and saw he was looking around. "He's fine."
She nodded and handed her a diaper for him along with a clean dark blue plush blanket and a grey striped hat. Klaus laid his son down and put the diaper and hat on before wrapping him in the blanket. Freya moved her fingers along certain places and nodded.
"His breathing is good." She lifted him and handed him back to Cami. "Get some rest."
She nodded. Klaus watched as Cami's eyes drooped. He smiled and took the baby from her arms.
"Close your eyes. He'll still be here when you wake."
She nodded and kissed him softly.

Cami opened her eyes an hour later when the baby began to cry. Klaus laid him next to her on the bed and snuck out of the room. he returned a minute later with a bottle. Cami sat up and grabbed the baby before reaching for the bottle. He spoke concerned.
"You should sleep."
She shook her head. "I'm fine."
he handed over the bottle and watched as his son quickly sucked. After a while he stopped and fell asleep. Cami ended up drifting off herself. When the sun rose she woke up again. Klaus was asleep with their son on his chest. She smiled and kissed his temple. He turned and smiled at her.
"How do you feel?"
"Good."
He looked at the baby and saw that he was awake and trying to open his hand. He was staring at it intently. Cami showered quickly and got dressed in a grey sweat suit with a light blue tank top underneath the jacket. She walked into the bedroom and found Klaus fully dressed. She walked into the nursery and grabbed an outfit from the closet. She returned to their room and slipped a navy striped sleeper onto the baby. She rewrapped him in the blanket before looking at Klaus.
"Are you ready?"
He nodded. He led the way downstairs and was shocked to see that the first floor was put back together. Furniture was fixed and the Christmas decorations repaired. The tree was back up and fully decorated. He found everyone eating breakfast at the dining room table. Hope saw them and ran over sstill in her pink monkey pajamas.
"I want to see him! Can I hold him? Please Daddy?"
He chuckled and grabbed her. He let her see the baby in Cami's arms. She smiled at Cami.
"What's his name?"
Cami looked at Klaus. "Umm that's a good question."
Kol burst out laughing. "Well that is a good start."
Klaus smiled. "I guess we never really talked about names."
Cami sat down at the table and let Rebekah hold the baby. She smiled down at him.
"Oh Nik he is beautiful. Thank god he looks like his mother."
Klaus rolled his eyes and sat down. Hope finished her breakfast then looked at Cami.
"Mommy can I hold him now?"
She nodded. "Go pick a seat in the den."
She followed Hope into the den with the baby. Once Hope was settled in an armchair Cami set her brother into her arms. The second Hope touched him the blue light filled the room again. Everyone walked in and their jaws hit the floor. Hope giggled.
"He's so little he could fit in my doll clothes."
Klaus spoke quickly. "Let's not try it."
Cami looked at Freya who was just as stunned as the others. When Hope was finished Cami took her son in her arms and looked at him. He seemed fine better then fine.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The next day Freya walked into the den where Cami was feeding the baby a bottle.
"I have set the crystals up again. Just until we get magic back."
Cami nodded. "So they will signal when someone enters the house?"
"Should."
Klaus looked at her carefully. "What happens if we need to leave?"
"I simply move a crystal."
"Alright."
Cami went upstairs and laid the baby down in his crib. She covered him with a blanket and watched as he fell asleep. She went back down to the den and helped Hayley wrap a few Christmas gifts. A hour later the alarm blared. Klaus and Cami both whooshed up the stairs. Elijah made it to the nursery first. He saw a woman standing over the crib and grabbed her by the throat.
"Have you ever heard of knocking?"
He carried her into the hallway before ripping out her heart. Cami rushed to the baby and saw that he had produced a force field. She looked at Klaus who was just as stunned as she was. Cami spoke to him softly.
"Are you alright?"
He looked up at her and let the shield down. Cami grabbed him and held him close. Klaus spoke quickly.
"Is he alright?"
"He seems fine."
Klaus placed his hand on his son's head before rounding on Elijah.
"Who was she?"
Elijah was bent over the body. "Definitely a vampire."
Klaus spoke angrily. "We must find where she came from and quickly destroy whoever sent her!"
"I agree."
That afternoon the alarm went off again. This time Kol and Klaus pulled a vampire from Klaus and Cami's room. Klaus was going to simply kill him until Kol stopped him.
"We have vervain correct?"
Klaus looked at him. "Why?"
"I vote we torture him until he tells us who sent him."
Klaus nodded. "Tie him up in the basement."
Kol did as Klaus asked. Klaus grabbed his son from his bed and kissed his forehead.
"You are alright my brave boy."
Cami came in looking terrified. "Is he okay?"
Klaus nodded and handed him over. Cami sighed and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Why are they all after him?"
Freya answered. "There is no magic and people probably assume that by killing him they'll get magic back."
"But you doubt it?"
She nodded. "Magic will return tomorrow night. So hopefully we can enjoy a quiet Christmas with our newest addition."
Cami nodded and relaxed. The baby was oblivious to what was going on. Once they were alone Cami looked at Klaus.
"His force field, do you think that is permanent or just a baby thing?"
He sat down next to her. "I don't know."
She nodded and peered down at their son. "How can something so small be in so much danger?"
Klaus sighed and kissed her. "No one will harm him."
