Chapter Six:
Klaus's POV
I heard Bella's breathing slow down and felt her go limp in my arms. She's asleep. Right now, I should probably set her on her bed, but with her in my arms, I don't ever want to leave. I shifted her on the bed so she was comfortable and fit into my side. My arm was still around her shoulders as hers was over my waist, her hand gripping my shirt tightly as if she were afraid I would leave. Not gonna happen, love…
I heard the door open and saw Finn. He saw our position and smiled slightly. He walked over to the foot of the bed and looked me in the eyes.
"You love her don't you." He said it in more of a statement than a question. I nodded with a slight smile.
"I do, brother. More than I've ever loved anyone. But I fear that the feeling is not mutual." I said in a voice full of doubt. I hear him snort and I look up at him in question.
"A blind man can see it, Klaus. The girl obviously loves you as well. Why else would she try to save you when I had you by the throat against the wall?" He asks.
"Maybe she was just trying to be of help. That or she tried to save the father or her children."
"Well, you're obviously oblivious (A/N: Haha, funny). Why not, when the time is right, you admit your feelings for her. If she feels the same, good for you, if not, you can stay friends." He advises.
"You and Elijah were always better at giving advice." I said with a grin. He chuckles.
"Well, it comes with the the responsibility of being the elder brothers. Now, I must take my leave. Sage could show up any moment. And I think she would like to meet her future sister-in-law." He winked and left the room, ignoring my glare.
As soon as he's gone, I let myself relax. I think back to what he last said. 'And I think she would like to meet her future sister-in-law..' I smile at the thought of having Bella as my wife. This girl really does wonders. She got Kol to stop his man-whorish ways and get together with Davina, gave Elijah a kick in the back to ask Hayley out, stood by me when I wanted to take back New Orleans only to split the lordship with Marcel, and became the reason why I stopped being a complete arse-hole. She changed the Mikaelson children for the better.
Bella's POV
I woke up and sighed out loud. I tried to get up, but I felt a weight around my waist. Klaus was still here. And right now, we were spooning. I guess I was moving unconsciously last night because my hand was intertwined with the Klaus' that was around me.
To be honest, it felt right to be in his arms. And I was glad to have him comfort me when Charlie's death dawned on me once more.
Then I began to think of what would happen if he found out I love him. Would he accept me? Would he deny my love and leave me? Would he laugh in my face? Oh god…. Doubt began to fill me.
"What's the matter?" His voice broke me out of my thoughts. "Your heart is racing. Is something wrong?"
"No." I lied. He gave me a look that said he knew I was lying. "It's nothing big, just that I'm starting to question things." He sat up and so did I.
"What things?" I hesitated in telling him. "It's okay, you can tell me." He said reassuringly.
I didn't say anything, just leaned forward and pressed my lips to his. I pulled back to see his wide eyes. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that." I say and turn away.
I feel his fingers go under my chin and he makes me look into his blue eyes. He presses his lips to mine and I gladly respond, wrapping my arms around his neck.
This kiss was not like when we had sex in Mystic Falls, those kisses were filled with lust. This kiss was filled with love, compassion, tenderness, warmth, endearment…
He pushes me down on the bed and hovers over me, mindful of my baby bump and not breaking the kiss. His hands rest beside my head acting as support.
Our lips moved in sync, slow and sweet. Soon, his tongue grazes my lower lip and I gladly give him permission to enter my mouth. His tongue rolls with mine, battling for dominance. I soon let him win and just let us make out for the time being. We later break apart and just lean our foreheads together, panting for breath. My eyes were closed and I'm sure his were too.
"Wow…." Is all I can say.
"Likewise." He says. "Is this what you were doubting?" I nodded slightly. "Well, you don't have to doubt that I'd kiss you. Not when I'm falling in love with you." I look him in the eye, filled with shock. Then I begin to smile and I put my hands to the sides of his face.
"The feeling is mutual." And I lean in for another kiss. We continue kissing, but stop when we hear voices.
"What do you think they're doing?" I heard Kol's voice.
"I don't know, but it's really quiet. All I can hear is four heartbeats. Two of them are racing." Marcel's voice.
"Will you two shut up! They'll hear you!" Rebekah's voice.
"They can't hear us. They're too busy swapping spit!" Hayley's voice.
Klaus quietly walked to the door and put his hand on the knob, yanking it open. And down fell to the floor from top to bottom Marcel, Kol, Hayley, Rebekah, Sophie, and Davina. Finn and Elijah were leaning against the railing with amused looks on their faces.
"Were you eavesdropping?" I asked, standing up from the bed and crossing my arms.
"Dear Bella, we haven't been dropping no eaves." Kol tried to save his ass.
"Yeah, and I'm Samuel L. Jackson." I said sarcastically. I heard loud knocking on the doors. "Looks like someone's here."
I stepped over the still groaning people and toddled downstairs. I made it to the door and was immediately hit with the scent of Cold Ones. I saw a hybrid, who I recognised to be Emma came my way. She nodded and stood by me, ready to fight if needed.
I slowly put my hand on the door and opened it. I looked up at the Cold Ones only to recognise them.
"Jazz!" I exclaimed and leapt on him in a hug. He caught me and hugged back. We pulled apart and he saw my baby bump.
"Whoa, someone's gon' be a baby mama." He said, putting a hand on my stomach. Then I saw Emmett, Rosalie, and two other people who must be Peter and Charlotte.
"Emmy! Rosalie!" I exclaimed and walked to them for a hug. They hugged back and Rosalie glanced at my baby bump in awe, adoration, and want.
"You can touch my bump, Rosalie. They like to kick." I told her. She looked at me with wide eyes.
"Twins?" I nodded with a smile. "Congratulations!" She exclaimed. Then she put her hands on my bump. Waiting.. waiting… *kickkick* She gasps and pulls back a bit. "I felt it… I felt it! Emmett, the babies kicked!"
"What? No.. Let me see." He stepped up and put his hands on my baby bump. *kickkick* He gives a girlish scream and hops in the air, only for Charlotte to catch him bridal style. "There is something inside you!" He said, pointing at my bump. Charlotte rolled her eyes and dropped him, making Emmett give a girlish yelp.
I felt an arm wrap around my shoulder and turned to see Klaus; Elijah, Hayley, Marcel, Rebekah, Finn, Kol, Davina, Sophie, and Emma were behind him as well. Then I noticed something….
Jasper and Emma were looking at each other like they've only just seen the sun. Oh….
"Guys, this is Jasper, his brother Peter, Peter's wife Charlotte, Rosalie, and her husband Emmett. This is Klaus, his sister Rebekah, brothers Elijah, Kol, and Finn, Rebekah's boyfriend Marcel, Kol's girlfriend Davina, Sophie, and Emma."
"Aww, did you forget us, Bellsy?" Said another female voice. I turned to see Leah, Seth, Jake, and Paul.
"Lele!" I jogged to her and hugged the life out of her. "I missed you so much."
"Hey, what about me?" Seth said pouting. I laughed and hugged him next, then Jake. Paul did the unexpected and gave me a hug too.
"Ahh, who's the daddy?" Leah asks and puts her hands on my bump. Klaus stepped forward.
"That would be me. Klaus Mikaelson." He introduces.
"You better be treating our little sister right." Seth said in an assertive tone.
"I'd let my siblings hurt me before I could hurt her." Klaus said, wrapping his arm around my waist. I smiled at him and the others. But I saw Paul was staring at someone and wasn't paying attention to us. I followed his line of sight and saw him staring at Sophie who was looking at him with the same expression. Oh my god, he imprinted! On Sophie!
