I walked to the seats they made and sat down. I felt like crying. A little girl came up to me. "You are the queen right, the savior?" I looked at Henry and Elizabeth and they smiled back. "Thats Matilda our daughter. We tried long before we had her, we're doing our best to protect her now" "in a war zone?" "We must participate in this war and this is the only way Hayley" "she is so small! So fragile!" "Your maternal instincts have triggered I see" Elizabeth smiled. "All our family is here Hayley, we cant leave her anywhere else" "my parents did, and you said it was the right thing to do. They let me go and chose to die!" "Hayley times have changed, Marcel notices the wolves, especially the young ones. Plus it took us years to have her, I'm not letting go" "Then leave the war and find peace somewhere else. The wolves can make it without you" "we lost our closest because of this man. You parents were our family. We have to make him pay" I shook my head in disappointment.
"Hi Matilda" I whispered as I walked up to her. "You have the most beautiful eyes" "thank you your majesty" she muttered and I shrugged "I am not a queen Matilda" "I grew up listening to stories about your return, you are the queen" "you grew up? You're still a kid!" I laughed out. I spent the next hour talking to her, discussing our future, our goals, my baby and me being a queen. She was so mature. I checked my watch, it had been a while and the others must have been worried. Just then the door opened and Klaus walked in. Some werewolves rolled their eyes and some continued to do whatever they were doing. They weren't quite friendly with one another. It might have had something to do with Klaus' hybrids.
Henry and Elizabeth seemed fond of him, they greeted him with a smile. Klaus nodded and walked up to me. I stood up and he pulled me in for a hug. "You got me so worried." I hugged him back and Matilda laughed. I turned to face her "So he is the father?" She whispered in my ear and Klaus smiled. I nodded and she waved at him. "Who is this young lady?" He asked as he waved back and I smiled. "This is Matilda, she is Henry and Elizabeth's daughter" "where does she stay?" He asked as he played with Matilda's hair "here" I muttered and he froze "here?"
Klaus and the parents had an argument. He didn't seem happy about the risk they were throwing Matilda into. I finally made them stop and introduced a suggestion "can she stay with us?" I asked both the parents and klaus. Elizabeth and Henry looked at each other. "I'll bring her over to visit every day, at least until this bloody battle is over" Klaus held my hand and pulled me aside "do you really think our home is suitable for a child, love?" I raised my eyebrows. "Klaus we're having a baby in a few months" He laughed at that and I rolled my eyes. "For a few weeks then. I do agree with you about keeping her here anyway. Children shouldn't be raised like this" I stroked his cheek.
Matilda, Klaus and I returned home laughing. Matilda kept on making fun of Klaus which made him annoyed in a good way. We got to the house and she ran to the fountain outside. I stopped and looked at Klaus "thank you for this Klaus" "Seeing you smile is all the thanks I need love" I looked at the targets and sighed "about what happened earlier" "Hayley its Ok, Elijah told me you got startled" "I didn't. I thought he was Marcel" I whispered and a tear fell from my lashes. "Hayley don't" "I cant take it anymore. He's always there and he wont leave me alone. I'm so tired Klaus" "perhaps Matilda will help you forget about him. I smiled. Davina had joined matilda by the fountain. They exchanged names. The house felt very warm that night.
