Chapter Four: Now Is Not The Time For You To Go Flying Off The Handle

"What seems to be the trouble?" Rebekah repeated his question with a look of absurdity. "Don't ask stupid questions right now, Nik. This is not time. Help her for crying out loud." she exclaimed, shooing the doctors out of the room as the younger girls body convulsed on the bed. Blood spilled down her lips as her eyes blinked in effort to stay opened.

"Is she here? Is she okay?" Hayley asked, barely able to get the words out through her deep inhales.

And then the youngest Original saw a side of her brother she hadn't seen since they were all humans. She stared wide eyed as he pushed her to the side to step up beside Hayleys bed.

"Your baby isn't here yet, love." he said simply, keeping his voice steady for her sake and taking her hand to keep to calm.

"Don't say that." she whispered, her eyes shutting briefly before she forced them open again.

"Say what, Hayley?" Rebekah asked, at her other bedside, stroking her hair away from her face as it matted to her cheek in a mixture of blood and sweat.

"It's not just my baby. Don't say that. I know you don't want us but please don't say she's mine alone. I'm not ready to hear it yet." she explained before her body wrenched with another fit of coughs. Klaus lifted himself soundlessly onto her, hovering over her to examine her eyes.

"Now, don't go putting words in my mouth, little wolf." he smirked as he gave her a once over. Rebekah stepped back a few paces to give him some room, staring at her brother with confusion and as always, extreme caution.

"I never said I didn't want you girls." he continued, putting his hands firmly on her swollen belly and feeling a kick harder then he expected the moment his palms made contact with her skin.

"Bloody hell." Rebekah whispered, watching as a small foot imprint forced itself out against her stomach as she screamed.

"Is she okay?" Hayley asked again, blood filling her eyes like they had never witnessed in a werewolf. "Rebekah, don't leave." she begged with a shaking voice.

"I'm not going anywhere, sweetheart. I'm right here, I promise." she replied, stepping up to her and grabbing her hand as her body continued to shake. She then lowered her voice so only he could hear her.

"Do something, Nik. For god sakes, we have lived for thousands and thousands of years. Surely we can get her through this. And the baby. Right?" she asked, looking at him with eyes full of fear, asking him for answers for the first time since she had awoken in that bloody coffin.

"We are going to find out." he whispered, shoving all of his weight down on the small girls shoulders, causing his sister to shoot up in response.

"Nik, what are you doing? You let her go!" she demanded, grabbing his biceps to no avail.

"Trust me right now, dear sister and get the human doctor in here. Now!" he growled, holding her down still as her body shook beneath him.

Barely a breath later a handful of human medical staff returned, the head doctor positioned between Hayleys legs in preparation for the delivery.

"Get her ready for the OR. Start a line of morphine in her IV and get her out of here." the doctor bellowed after one glance beneath her sheet.

"What's wrong with her?" Rebekah asked, tears in her eyes as she kept a hold on Hayleys hand as they wheeled her down the paper white halls.

"Are you the father?" the doctor asked, washing his hands swiftly before putting on a new set of blue latex gloves.

"That's what I'm told." he snapped harshly, staring at the man as he waited for answers. He followed him as he walked the path of the hall in the direction his sister had just disappeared down.

"She will need an emergency C-section immediately. The nurses are prepping her now and I will be in there in just a few moments when she's ready." he explained, two nurses putting his scrub cover over his shoulders as he sanitized his hands once more.

Rebekah emerged from the operating room in the hands of a hard faced nurse. "I'm sorry miss but you can't be in there." she said before going back into the room. Rebekah looked in through the glass window, catching Hayleys eyes for just enough time to shoot her a reassuring smile. A few moments later, the drugs were fully in her system and her eyes were blanketed shut.

"So you'll cut it out and all will be well?" Klaus questioned, glancing at Hayley for barely a second before looking back at the doctor who met his stare with an angry one of his own.

"You don't seem to be too concerned for this girl or her baby, but I am obligated to tell you anyways." he said with a annoyed tone. "She's in danger right now. As is the baby. And you should show some kindness and humanity by being concerned for her. Because when she was pushing," he started, pinching the bridge of his nose in distress. "When she was pushing, the baby wasn't breathing."
