Chapter Two:
Bella's POV
It's been a few weeks since Klaus made his nice side known to me. And I kinda like this side of him. Despite his anger issues, powerful voice, and cold glare, he's actually a caring, protective, and sweet person. I got to know about him and his past and he got to know mine. He was angry with what Edward did to me, but I told him I moved on a long time ago. He calmed down after that, but promised that if Edward showed up and tried something, he would not hesitate to mutilate him and burn him to ash.
When I learned about Mikael and his hatred toward Klaus and werewolves, I immediately grew frightened for our child seeing as he/she would be a hybrid. But Klaus reassured me that him and his hybrids would protect me and the baby. I felt safe with the thought, but that didn't mean I was still scared.
Right now I was in the kitchen, eating a small bowl of oatmeal with maple syrup and brown sugar in it. But the bowl was sitting on top of my heavily swollen belly. I saw this in an episode of Friends when Phoebe was carrying triplets. I giggled at that and continued eating.
I heard two pairs of footsteps and in walked Elijah and Hayley hand-in-hand. They've been together for a while now. When they saw me, they laughed and shook their heads.
"Tables are for losers." I told them, making them laugh more.
"You got that off that episode of Friends, didn't you?" Hailey asked. I nodded and smiled. "How's my niece/nephew?" She wondered, putting her hands on the side of my stomach.
"Fine, they're kicking. Here," I motioned Elijah to put his hands on my stomach. He did so. "Wait for it…" I said. *kick* They gasped and pulled back. "Felt it?" I asked. Hayley nodded and started to tear up.
"Oh, they know who their auntie is." Hayley gushed.
"Klaus felt it too." I told them. They both looked at me surprised. "What?"
"You actually spoke to Klaus?" Elijah asked.
"Yeah, about a few weeks ago. I was reading in the study and he showed up. Then he started to go on about how he's been thinking that this baby could be the only thing to bring his family back together." I explained.
"Aww, who knew Klaus had a heart." Hayley said, wiping a fake tear away. Speak of the devil, walking into the kitchen.
"I can hear you, you know?" He glowered.
"Oh I know." Hayley responded. Klaus glared and rolled his eyes. He turned to me and saw the position I was in; a bowl of oatmeal on my stomach and me eating it. He chuckled and shook his head.
"Enjoying yourself there?" He cheekily wondered. I just stuck my tongue out and continued eating.
"Hey, don't gang up on the pregnant one. Just you wait, in five more months, I'll be pushing him/her out of my vagina and screaming my head off while you guys try and rush me to the hospital." I warned them. Hayley laughed at her boyfriend's slightly blushing face. Sorry Elijah, not.
"Thanks for the warning." Klaus said and walked to get a glass of bourbon.
"Isn't it a little early to be drinking, brother?" Elijah asked.
"It's never too early to have a drink." Klaus argued, opening to bottle and pouring himself a glass. I shook my head and went back to eating.
I soon finished and washed it in the sink.
"So have you guys thought of names for the baby?" Elijah asked. I looked to Klaus who just shrugged.
"No we haven't. Any ideas?" I asked Elijah, Hayley, and Klaus. Before any of us could answer, Marcel walked in.
Over the months, Marcel stopped the feud and gave up New Orleans to Klaus when he found out about the baby. But Klaus said they could rule the city together. And he and Rebekah got back together. I was so happy for them.
"How about Maruca for a girl?" Marcel suggested.
"How about something that doesn't sound like your name?" Kol said, walking in with Davina hand-in-hand. Those two are cute together despite him being an asshole.
"Oh yeah, and what do you suggest?" Marcel bit back.
"Nikole Isabella Mikaelson, for a girl. Named after both parents and keeping the Mikaelson name." Kol responded. I thought about it and turned to Klaus.
"Not bad, brother." Klaus said.
"It is nice." I said next. "Okay, how about a boy?"
"Well Bella, seeing as how much you loved him, how about Mason Niklaus Mikaelson?" Hayley said with a sad smile. I felt tears well up in my eyes but smiled. I nodded and Hayley gave me a hug.
"That's a great name." I commented. It was silent, so I took this moment to listen to my baby's heartbeat. I listened closely, only to find something that wasn't there before. "Guys, listen." I said, putting my hands on my stomach.
Everyone stayed quiet and listened closely, except Kol and Davina. They listened closely and shocked looks grew on our faces. Then Rebekah decided to voice everyone's thoughts.
"Another heartbeat…" She whispered. Klaus blurred in front of me and put his ear on my stomach. I ignored the tingles and the warm feeling I got when he touched my skin.
"Two heartbeats…. We're having twins…" He confirmed, standing up straight. I laughed out in joy and stood on my toes to hug Klaus. Each of us gasped and then laughed in happiness.
"They're twins! I'm gonna be an aunt to twins!" Hayley, Rebekah, and Davina started to squeal and jump up and down. As soon as Klaus and I pulled apart, he started to get pats on the back from Marcel, Elijah, and Kol.
Finding out that Klaus and I are having twins made me happier than the time I found out I had a sister. I don't care if they're both girls or boys, or if they're boy and girl, I just love my babies.
