Chapter 1

It had been a few days since I came back, Klaus had been acting strangely. Of course, it could have been stress or maybe it was me."Klaus?".

"Yes, Love?"His voice was soft and calm.

Either I asked him or I would just ignore it, although that's not me."Since I came back, you've been different. Is something wrong?"I bit my lower lip afraid of his response.

Many outcomes could come from this, He turned to face me."Nothing you should worry of."He approached me."If it worries you, rumors have spread of these witches planning to harvest children."

His fingertips stroked my cheek, I knew well enough what this could mean."If they're after Hope, it means they could be…"

"I will not allow any of my children to be harmed, I assure you."He whispered softly, I could feel his breath against my skin. The pleasurable tingles his touch caused were shadowed by the dread of all this.

I tangled myself in his embrace, as always our child would never be safe. Hope would never be safe."Do not worry, Love. My wrath has only begun."

"Klaus, the danger we put on everyone. I don't want to fear forever, I want the world where our baby will be safe."I murmured against his shirt.

My phone vibrated against the table."Don't leave a friend waiting, darling."He let go free from his embrace, I reached for the nightstand. It was Stefan, a text to meet him at the park.

I turned around."Accompany me to the park?"

Taking my chin in his hand, he lifted my head to look at him."A stroll at the park full of screaming children? is that your idea of a date?"

"You can look at it like that."

His hand slid down my waist pulling me against him."Romantic at heart you owe me, one love."

"Is that a no?"I haven't felt this feeling of safety in such a while since the incident with Sky but with Klaus, I felt safe.

"I'll find something to do."He brushed his lips against my temple."Go on, Love. Enjoy the screaming toddlers."

I scoffed, not being able to contain my laughter."Enjoy reading or something."

I left the abattoir to the park Stefan texted me to meet him, there was something about the text that worried me. Stefan wasn't so typical on having me meeting him places unless it was important, I got to the park, you could hear the screaming laughter of the children. It brought so many memories of my own childhood, I glanced toward the outline of Stefan.

He stood in front of someone, Elena stood next to the person hiding behind Stefan. I stopped my tracks to get a good look at who it could be, Elena pointed at me causing Stefan to turn around.

I froze instantly when I saw who it was, Damon. It was like time stopped for a second."Damon."I could not explain the happiness of seeing him. I ran for him, as fast I could until I leaped into his arms. "Damon!"

"Hey…"He whispered softly.

"I've never thought I would see you again."I missed the leather of his jacket, his icy blue eyes. His stupid sarcastic jokes, I missed our friendship before I ruined it all.

He grunted letting me go."Well, here I am fatty."

So many questions ran through my head."How? how are you alive?"He died, we mourned him.

He smiled, cupping my cheek with his hand."I saw you in a dream or the afterlife, then I woke up. I knew I had to come here for you and my baby brother."

I wouldn't question it, I was beyond happy. For whatever reason, Damon got a second chance and I would make sure he lived through it. I would have my baby in a few months, my love, and now my best friend back. I couldn't content myself from hugging him once again, I couldn't believe he was here with me, with us.

"I got my brother back."Stefan smiled, even he had trouble believing it. Hadn't Damon showed up at his doorstep, he would have been oblivious to it.

I let go of Damon, taking his arm in mine."Lunch anyone?"

"Let's go, Elena must be starving."Stefan chuckled at his pregnant fiancé, we all walked toward the closest restaurant. Nothing in the world could take this happiness, for once I feel like things will get better.

We sat outside in the patio area."How are you?"Damon rubbed my hand, I knew what he meant.

I smiled at him."I'm fine, things are getting better."I glanced toward Stefan."We are all growing up, Elena's having her baby and I'm almost 5 months along. I'm happy with Klaus, and I have you back."

He smirked raising a brow."Don't go all soft on me, I know I remember it all. You weren't crazy by the way."

I softly slapped his arm."Ouch! hormone alert."

"Anyway Damon, I have an ultrasound to attend to with Elena."Stefan stood up, He glanced down at me."Take care of him."

"Always."

With goodbyes, they left us to pay off the bill which I did. We walked around the French Quarter, Damon smirked."You look happy."

"Why shouldn't I be? my best friend is back."I said, slightly bowing my head down a bit."No one knows me better than you do."

He grabbed my arm."I missed you, Elizabeth." He sighed."I watched you go through it all, it made me realize feelings aside, I can't live without you in my life. I wasn't ready to die but I did for you because it's you."

A pang of guilt plagued me."Why Damon? why die because of me. I hurt you over and over because I'm in love with the man that tormented us over the course of months, yet you still care for me."

He smiled adoringly."Remember when I decided your life was worth giving my soul to Cade?"

I nodded."Over 180 years I've never met a soul like yours, you're my guardian angel Elizabeth. I don't regret giving my life up for you."

I was speechless.

"You falling in love with Klaus, it makes me happy that you're happy. I want you happy, be it with him or anyone else. I can't hate you for it, I can only love you."

"I just…"I trailed off."I feel guilty of hurting you when you finally got the girl. The girl kissed another man."

He shook his head, brushing his thumb over my chin."You're happy, that's all that matters."

"Thank you."I pulled him into another hug."Stop being so sentimental with me, it's not you."

He laughed, pulling me off him."Elizabeth?"He had concern written all over his face."I'm sorry about your baby."

"It doesn't matter now, he's in peace and so is everyone else."I said, softly."Bourbon?"

"Pregnant woman don't drink."

And there it was, the old Damon I knew so well. I know that if someday I die, I want to reach the peace everyone does eventually. For now, I want to enjoy everything immortality holds for me and Klaus together with our son and the rest of the Mikaelson's, I only hope my parents found peace out of all this.

Disclaimer:Mild sexual scenes

I waited for Klaus in his room hopefully, it would be the night I wouldn't hold back due to…

I was also hoping it wasn't one of those night's something angered him, the ridiculous part of it all was me trying to seduce my fiancé to make love. Have I mentioned we rekindled that aspect of our lives?

I heard a click, Klaus stepped into the room."What is all this?"He forced himself to sound calm, he wasn't.

I covered my silk slip with a robe."Nothing, what's wrong?"I tried to sound as nonchalant as possible.

He walked toward me, cupping my cheek."Don't agitate yourself, Love."His eyes lingered down my body."What's all of this?"

I rubbed his shoulder, hesitating."I…want you."My voice barely audible, I was seriously embarrassed at the situation.

I saw a glint of playfulness in his eyes, his hands slid down my lower back pulling me against him."Are you sure?"

"Yes."

My pregnancy had only made my needs heighten, which only made the desire for Klaus a lot stronger.

His hands moved toward my robe, pulling it off."Don't be scared."He whispered against my cheek. He trailed little butterfly kisses up my neck toward my lips, I opened my mouth to him. Allowing him to slid his tongue into the mix.

His hold on me was gentle yet possessive, I tugged his shirt trying to pull it off. By the heat of the moment, every single piece of clothes fell off, until I was pressed against the soft sheets of his bed.

Every single kiss felt like electricity against my skin, He flipped us over allowing me to have control. It made me feel more comfortable, he made me feel safe and sure of being his once again. I planted soft kisses down his chest, his hands traced the outline of my breast.

After kisses and allowing me to get comfortable, he rolled me over, kneeling between my legs.

He went slowly on me, groaning in the process. I let out a small gasp of pleasure, it felt so right. Allowing myself to get over the fear of making love to him, had been the best decision I've made.

We were a wild tangled mess until we hit our climax, He rolled off me. He covered us pulling me closer to him, I stroke his cheek."Thank you."

He leaned forward to kiss my forehead."However long it takes to heal you."

{~Flashback~}

"Why? Why me?"I wanted to know why out of all people did he fall in love with me. And on the verge of dying because of his petty thirst for power, someone who loves can't be all bad.

He seemed to search for excuses to avoid my question."You don't know what you're asking."

"Klaus, I don't want your blood. I want your confession."I felt blood go up my throat, I held it back. I couldn't die, at least not with his confession.

He sighed in defeat."Because you saw me, you didn't see the monster. You saw the man who could love."

My breath started to slow down, I gasped for breath."And I see a man capable of loving someone who isn't power, it was your error for falling for a girl burden to inflict pain."

He swiftly moved to where I was laying at, cradling my body."It will be a burden I will never regret, over a thousand years of living in the shadows. I want to see light."

"I'm with Damon…"

He stroke my hair, placing his wrist against my mouth as I bit into it."I may not be your first love, I plan to be your last. Your partner, your husband, your accomplice in crime." He whispered.

Damon walked into the moment."You've helped enough, momma's boy."

I said nothing to defend him, as I watched him leave. The sane part of me told me to stay and not run after him, the second told me to do what's wrong.

Damon kneeled by me."Hey?"

He pulled me into his arms burying his face into the crook of my neck, no doubt I was starting to fall for the mere charms of Klaus Mikaelson. I've kissed him, and that kiss was enough to tell me what I felt for him.

I needed to thank Klaus, And I would. I got up pulling away from Damon."I need to go see Bonnie."

"Want me to go with you?"Damon seemed confused with my sudden reaction.

I shook my head."No, I want to go alone."

"Okay."He frowned, I ignored it fleeing the boarding house as fast as I could.

I found myself in minutes inside Klaus's mansion, I bumped into Elijah."Elizabeth?"

"Where's your brother?"I blurted out, my brain was internally screaming at me to leave but I couldn't. I had to thank him.

"Follow the stairs toward the left, you'll find him there."He slightly smiled at me, there was suspicion in his eyes that lingered. As I was about to walk toward the stairs, he grasped my wrist."If you have the slightest intentions of hurting my brother, I will end your life."

I gulped nodding, Elijah was always a man to make you feel far less than him. He was intimidating, I pulled myself from his grasp walking up the stairs toward the direction Elijah gave me.

I knocked at the door, receiving no respond I decided to enter."You came here to mock my confession?"Klaus scoffed.

I closed the door behind me."I came here to thank you for it, I mean the blood."

He turned his chair to face me, placing down the notebook he had in his hand."You left your boyfriend and came to thank me?"He seemed rather surprised by my actions.

I couldn't easily give into his charm, yet I felt as if he needed to know."You're my friend, I care about you."

"For a man like me? has my blood gotten to your head?"He stood by his desk not moving any closer toward me.

I crossed my arms."No, I care for you. I know you love me, I won't deny whatever we have but I can't hurt Damon."

He moved slowly toward my direction."You fear what you feel for me? I make your blood boil in a good way don't I, Love?"

My throat went dry, no words could come out of me. I was cornered by him."I fear to fall for you, but I fear I already have." There was no compulsion, just me and my stupid self.

He smirked."Then I'm not trying for nothing, come with me to New Orleans."He moved a piece of my red hair behind my ear, thanks to vampirism the blonde hair went away.

And what flee to New Orleans with him, I loved Damon. No matter the attraction I couldn't leave him."I don't know, I love Damon."

{~End of Flasback~}

"Why don't you tell me what's wrong?"I rested my elbow on his shoulder, hovering over him not carrying his visibility to my naked form.

He stroke my shoulder."Matters, not important love."

He was far too tense for his own good."Does it have to do with the sudden appearances of symbols?"

"Among matters"

He was far too much of a close book for his own good. "I guess, I'm not getting an answer."

"I saw you with Damon Salvatore, the dead doesn't stay dead does it. Especially for you."

"Stop changing the subject, I swear you're too insecure."I stated, annoyed."He's my friend, I'm happy he gets a second chance at life-"

He immediately cut me off."I'm not jealous, Love."

I playfully smirk at him."It looked like you were."

"No, I wasn't."

"It looked like it-"I giggled, he narrowed his eyes at me rolling us over to my left. He hovered over me.

I felt his hand caress my thigh."No, I wasn't."For the first time in months, I saw the childish playful Klaus.

I pulled his face closer to mine, placing my lips on his enjoying the serenity of being alone together. His lips trailed down my neck, a slight moan escaped my lips.

"By the way, you were."

His hand moved up to my breast, pinching my nipple causing me to squeal. He laughed against my neck at my reaction."I wasn't."

The rest of the night we spent giving into our needs once again, the pleasure was well accepted and it distracted him from all the worries and stress of being who we were. If I would have seen the person who I am now, years ago, I would have thought he compelled me. Klaus just makes me feel everything, Damon once told me what love was supposed to be.

He definitely was worth all the pain and destruction, and no matter what happened from now till the future, we promised to stay together without breaking up.
