Okay I've been putting this off long enough lol. With finishing my Teen Wolf story, I thought it was about time I got back to Becca. I do not own anything in this chapter, besides Becca, everything else belongs to their rightful owners.
Chapter 1
%$%$#^%&%^&
'Dear Diary,
It's been a while since I've written to you. Over three months now that I think about it. You wouldn't believe how screwed up my life has become since last we talked. First things first, I no longer live in Mystic Falls. While my friends are living up the college life, I'm here in New Orleans with Klaus. To make it worse, I don't even have Kol and Elijah to keep me busy here.
They both disappeared, leaving me alone with Klaus. Elijah already left town before Kol and I even got to New Orleans. Soon after Kol and I arrived, we were ambushed, so to speak, by the witches here. I haven't seen Kol since. Klaus came and brought me home, if you could call it that. A few days after the run in with the witches, Klaus gave me a note Kol left, saying he couldn't watch Klaus and I start to reconnect. So he left a few blood bags full of his blood and left town. It hurt a lot, because even if Kol and I didn't work out romantically, he was still the closest thing I had to a friend after Jeremy died.
Unlike what he was thinking though, Klaus and I are never reconnecting. Even with the 'wonderful', and I use that word loosely, news from the witches. I might as well be living in this house alone. Klaus refuses to even acknowledge me, let alone speak more than a few words to me. He's been busy playing best buddies with this man named Marcel. The one time Klaus spoke to me, it was to make it very clear I was to stay as far away from him as possible. In other words, meant I was stuck inside of the house alone while he got to have fun. I'm hoping K-'
"Klaus!" Becca heard a familiar blonde's voice yell from downstairs.
Glancing down, her once flat stomach was now starting to budge. Taking a deep breath, she got up and hurried to make her way downstairs. She couldn't remember the last time she was this excited. Sure, before the witches came into the picture, it was fun sight seeing with Kol, but the thought alone that she wasn't going to be by herself anymore excited her. "Get out here and tell me what you've done with our brother, you narcissistic back-stabbing wanker!" She heard Rebekah call out, trying to find Klaus no doubt.
She couldn't help but smile as she hurried down the steps and into the other room. Klaus and his sister were in the middle of talking when she came in. "Rebekah," Becca breathed out happily before she embraced her friend. "I've missed you so much!" She said, hugging her tightly. Finally, someone she could spend time with an actually living, as much as a vampire could be anyway, person. Considering how she made her entrance, Rebekah wasn't on Klaus' good side either.
Rebekah seemed to be just as happy to see her. She was hoping to find Elijah here too, but somehow she wasn't surprised to find out Klaus had done something dastardly to him. "It's good to see you too, Becca." She said, hugging her back before noticing a difference in her old friend. "What is this? A baby bump? How-how is that possible?" She asked, her face stunned as she looked between Becca and her brother. Becca merely shook her head, telling her she'd explain later. Rebekah went to argue before Klaus cleared his throat, gaining her attention back to what they were talking about before Becca came in. "I'm sorry. Were they friends of your's, Nik? Oh, that's right. You don't have any friends." She said sarcastically.
"I do have friends." He shot back before getting a smug smile on his face. "I have Marcel. You remember him, don't you?" Becca noticed the look of hurt flash across Rebekah's face. Obviously this Marcel guy meant something to her before. Leave it to Klaus to rub it in. "Yes, of course you do. He fancies himself the king of the quarter now, and he has these rules about killing vampires. It'll be fun to see what sort of punishment he'll come up with for you." He said, almost too pleased at the idea.
"I don't care about Marcel or his rules." Rebekah said, clearing her throat. Becca had an idea that this Marcel guy did bother her though. She just didn't know why yet. "Elijah doesn't just leave, especially when it concerns family, and Kol doesn't back down from a challenge, especially when it's you he'd be beating. What did you do to them?" Rebekah pointed out. "And what the bloody hell is she doing with a baby bump?" She went on. She knew her brothers, and she knew that just leaving out of the blue was not something either of them did.
Elijah would never just vanish anymore than Kol would just give up and let Klaus win the girl. He loved a challenge, and he would have just seen this as another one he needed to win. "Perhaps he's on a holiday and dear Kol went with him?" Klaus grinned, scanning the faces of the two girls in front of him before locking eyes with his little sister. "Or taking a long autumn nap upstairs. Well, go. Have a look around." He said tauntingly, making the hint perfectly clear. Rebekah rolled her eyes and went to start her search. "You remember this house as well as I." Klaus said out, his eyes following her move across the room.
"I remember everything." Rebekah said back before slipping into the other room.
$#%$%^
While Rebekah searched the house, Becca wondered around outside. If she was being honest with herself, she did the same thing when Klaus gave her the note from Kol. She didn't believe him, she knew Kol. She knew, or at least she thought she did, that Kol wouldn't just up and leave if there was a small chance for them to work. The fact that he had disappeared after the witches separated them didn't help her worries.
Looking around, even after three months, she still found this place to be beautiful. She only saw the Quarter a handful of times when they first got here, but she couldn't wait to go back. Kol took her to see the witches, the parades, and even took her in the shops. Touching her stomach, she wondered if the baby would be a prisoner here like she was? Becca still couldn't fathom how she could be pregnant.
Klaus and she hadn't slept together in at least five months. The two months, everything in her life had blown up all at once. Her mother dying, her break up with Klaus, Tyler being forced to leave town. Even Iliana dying. When the witches took her and Kol, they preformed some spell on her. She didn't even know she was pregnant until they told Klaus. They linked her to one of the witches, Sophie. Even broken up, Klaus was creating hell for her life. She and her baby were being used as leverage so they had control over Klaus.
Even after three months, Klaus still hasn't even mentioned the baby. He didn't want to believe it. Neither did she, but she didn't have the luxury of pretending when she was puking every morning. Sometimes she wondered if keeping the baby was worth all the trouble, but then she'd think of the fact that this was living person inside of her. She couldn't hurt them just because the father was a bastard.
Looking around, she settled herself down under a tree. She could see the house from where she was, even in the dark. Becca knew she should be inside where it was safe, but she'd rather not be caught in the crossfire of Rebekah and Klaus. Besides, it was a beautiful night. She could actually see the stars in the sky. Klaus had caught her out here over the past couple months just laying in the fields staring up at the stars. It earned her a scolding from him, but it was one of the rare moments she saw he stilled cared.
Being forced to live alone with Klaus opened her eyes on a lot of things. He really was more lonely than she ever knew before. Having the house to herself mostly, gave her the chance to look through some of the things he and Elijah brought with them. There was a day a few weeks ago Klaus came back from one of his meetings with Marcel to find her dancing around in one of the old ball gowns they had in storage.
Unknown to her, Klaus was watching her from the house. Becca was sitting under a tree, just playing with a flower she had picked, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face. She was beautiful, and it times like that moment where he remembered how much he missed her. Of course, he couldn't focus on any chance of rekindling their doomed relationship. All his focus needed to be on the witches and taking his city back from Marcel.
Glancing down at his phone, he saw that Marcel wanted to meet again. Looking up, he saw Becca staring up at the sky, admiring the night's stars. Hearing the sound of his sister's shoes, he looked back as she entered the room. "Convince little Becca to come inside, will you? She's going to catch a bloody cold if she keeps going out there at night." He told her, trying to come off as if he didn't care. "Marcel wants to go for another drink. Don't wait up." He went on, heading to the front door to leave before his sister could question him.
Rebekah stared after him curiously before heading outside to find her friend. Walking up to her, she took the spot beside her. The two sat in silence, just looking up at the stars before Rebekah turned her attention to the brunette beside her. "Is it Nik's?" She asked her, breaking the silence. Becca's eyes widened for a moment before nodding. "How is tha-never mind. You've probably been asking yourself the same thing for months now. How far along are you?" She asked, trying to cheer her nervous friend up.
"Five months. With everything that happened, I don't know how I missed it. I almost lost the baby because of the curse. Sophie has me drinking this herb along with the blood, she said it helps keep the baby safe." Becca explained, lifting up her shirt to show her friend the small baby bump.
Rebekah felt her breath catch in her throat, looking down at the small pudge where her niece or nephew grew inside of. It was really amazing. "If Tyler knew, he'd have a heart attack. I've been dodging his calls the past couple weeks. If he knew I was here with Klaus, he'd never understand."Becca confessed. "I'm not here by choice, Rebekah. It's like everything I do to get away from him, something else happens to push me closer to him." She went on, knowing her friend would understand.
Rebekah couldn't help but pity her friend. She was not in an easy position. As if it wasn't bad enough her life was in Kol and Klaus's hands, now she had to be saddled on with Klaus' child too. Becca was right, the fates did seem to be doing everything they could to keep her and Klaus together. Reaching over, she squeezed her hand. "Don't worry, you're not alone any longer. We're family." The blonde said, giving her hand another squeeze and a small smile to show her support.
"Family." Becca repeated.
Her chest hurt at the word. Her family was gone. Her father, dead. Her uncle Mason, dead. Her mother, dead. Tyler was as good as dead, it wasn't like she'd ever see him again if Klaus got his way, and he always did. She was the last one left, and if the witches got their way, she and her baby would be dead too. Looking down at her exposed stomach, she knew Rebekah was right on some level. This baby was going to be her family, and that was all she needed. Where she lost one family, she was gaining another one.
$^&^*&(*
I've gone back and forth on how to play this forever. I thought I knew, but then I changed my mind and I'm hoping it goes over well. Now, just because I have Becca being pregnant with little baby Hope, doesn't mean she and Klaus will be together, and don't worry, Hayley's still going to be in the story, just for a different reason. I'll tell you all now, I don't plan on putting Klaus and Becca back together right now. After everything he did, it wouldn't be right.
