Chapter Three:

Klaus's POV

Twins! Bella and I are having twins! Little Mikaelsons! I have never been so happy in my entire 1000 plus years.

Thought I am happy, I still worry that Mikael will find out about the babies and want to kill them and Bella. It would break me if the three of them died. I never told anyone or showed it, but I've begun to fall in love with Bella. Her free-spirit, her intelligence, her beauty, her loyalty, her selflessness, her bravery, and her kindness drew me in the first time I met her.

She has opened a part of me that no one else has, not even Caroline. I want to change for her, be a better man.

Since Bella is taking a nap, I blur down to the cellar where I kept Finn's body in a coffin with a dagger in his heart. I find the coffin right away and open it to see him, dark veined and grey skin, hair cut short like when we were in Mystic Falls and dressed in an expensive suit.

I pull the dagger out and put it to the side, closing the coffin again and carrying it upstairs. I set the coffin down on the ground and open it, looking down on my older brothers face. Slowly, the veins along his head start to disappear. I hear a few sets of footsteps coming my way. I didn't need to turn around to know that it was Bella, Hayley, Elijah, Marcel, Rebekah, Kol, and Davina.

"Is that…." Elijah trailed off. I nodded, confirming his question.

"Finn. I kept him here for safety. But now I realize that I shouldn't keep him safe this way. So I'm setting him free." I told them.

(A/N: Yes I know, he's supposed to die in the Vampire Diaries, but I don't care!)

"Should we call Sage?" Rebekah asked.

"You do that, I'll wait until Finn wakes up and apologize, explaining everything." I told them. I felt Bella come up to my side and put an arm around her. I turned to Rebekah who nodded and left to call Sage. Kol and Marcel pushed Davina slightly behind her.

By now, Finn was back to normal and I could hear his heartbeat. He sat up quickly and gasped. Then I saw him clutch his chest.

"Not… invited.." He said in a strained voice.

"You're invited in." I said right away. Finn breaths in relief and the next thing I know, I am pushed up against the wall, being held by my throat in a death grip.

"Stop! Let him go!" I heard Bella yell. She jogged to Finn's side and tried to get him to release me.

"Bella.. don't.." I strained. Finn grabbed her throat, choking her. But when he saw her swollen stomach, he released her. Bella fell to the ground and gasped for air. Kol ran to her side and helped her up.

"Finn, you almost killed Bella and her and Klaus' children!" Kol exclaimed. Finn looked between Bella and I in shock. Then he dropped me. I groaned and rubbed my throat at the same time I struggled to stand. Bella came to my side and helped me to stand.

"Are you okay?" She asked, her voice filled with concern. I nodded and looked at her neck which had bruising which was beginning to heal. I sighed in relief and hugged her close to me, or as close as I could and being mindful of the babies.

"Klaus' children?" Finn asked, still shocked.

"Yes, brother, my children. Twins to be exact. This is Bella." I introduced. Bella looked him up and down with a slight glare.

"Where am I?" Finn asked.

"New Orleans. Welcome to our home. I released you so I could explain things." I said. We moved to the couches and sat down. Finn on the single person couch, Bella and I on the couch, and Davins on the other couch beside us. Kol and Marcel stayed standing up, ready to restrain Finn in case it gets out of hand.

"Explain." Finn grit out, giving me a slight glare.

"I let you go because I had a change of perspective. You don't deserve to be stuck in a coffin with a dagger in you. You deserve to live your immortal life with Sage. And you deserve to see you're nieces/nephews." I said, putting a hand over Bella's. Finn's glare disappeared for a shocked look once again.

"How is it possible that you are able to procreate?" He asked.

"I may be a vampire, but I was born a werewolf. Bella here is a werewolf as well. The birds and the bees were 'discussed' and Bella ended up-" I was cut off by Bella.

"Looking like I swallowed a whole watermelon." She said. I wrapped an arm around her.

"Hey, don't be like that. Pregnancy suits you." I told her. She smiled and rubbed her stomach once.

"So before any of us even knew, I came back to New Orleans only to find Marcel has taken over my city. So I tried to take it back, then I found out about Bella being pregnant through Sophie, a witch, who has a gift of sensing when a girl is pregnant. At first I wanted to get rid of the baby, but it gave me a change in perspective and I vowed to do anything I can to protect my children.

"Than Marcel here found out about the pregnancy and actually made to give me back lordship of New Orleans, but I said that we would rule together. Now he's back with Rebekah, Kol is alive once again and in a human body with witch powers, and is also dating Davina here. And Hayley, Bella's sister, is now with Elijah."

"Oh and Rebekah is contacting Sage." Bella said next.

"Already done." Rebekah said, walking down the stairs. "Hello brother." She said and pat his shoulder gently. Finn smiled lightly at her and pat her hand.

"It's good to see you sister." Finn told her.

"The feeling is mutual." She paused and turned to me. "Now, Nik. I'm going to show Finn his new room and take him to get a shower. He smells of death." I heard Bella snort and turned to her with a grin. I stood up just as Finn did.

"Again, brother, I am truly sorry for what I have put you through. I thought I was doing the right thing in protecting you. Obviously I was wrong." I told him, putting my head down slightly in shame. I felt him walk up to me and put his hands on my shoulders.

"You are forgiven, Niklaus. And Bella, I am sorry for hurting you. And congratulations on the babies, both of you." Finn said and walked with Rebekah to his new room. I heard Bella stand up and felt her rub my arm.

"You did the right thing. And you got your family back." She told me in a gently, melodic voice. I smiled and put my hand over hers.

"That and I'm starting a new one." I said, making her smile lightly.
