A/N: I realized I had this sitting around, so I decided to post it. It's supposed to be an AU of Adventures of a Bennett witch and the original hybrid, and it was one of the first scenes I had written for that story. Of course I went a complete different way, but I also enjoy this Klonnie dynamic. I have some other scenes that I will probably post.

Rebekah picks up one of the small toys from the floor with an amused smile. Two original vampires, one hybrid, and a witch live there, but the arrival of one baby is enough to turn their house into a normal, suburban home. Their routine didn't change that much, though. Niklaus is a father, but his main focus remains on Marcel and taking New Orleans. That's not surprising for Rebekah; she spent hundreds of years with her brother enough to know that having a child wouldn't change him completely. Sure, he seems to have a tad more patience when it comes to Sutton, but that's it.

Elijah, however, is the opposite. He dotes on Sutton at every chance he's got, and he even takes her to the park when he can. Even though Rebekah thinks he gets a little ridiculous as Mr. Mom every once in a while, she's happy when she sees her brooding brother smile more than once in a week. Besides, Klaus' reaction when someone asks Elijah if he's Sutton's dad is just priceless.

"Did you see your darling brother today?" Bonnie asks right after she enters the library. Rebekah looks up from the magazine she's reading-Vogue isn't what it used to be- to pay attention to Bonnie.

"I know you are in good terms with Elijah, so I imagine you're talking about Klaus," she says with a sigh. Not that she exactly cares about Klaus and Bonnie's little disagreements, but she's enjoying their newfound peace. "What did he do?"

"He threatened Logan to stay away from me! I'm sure he didn't compel him because I've been slipping him some vervain."

Rebekah watches in silence as Bonnie fumes and practically walks in circles. So much for their newfound harmony. She knows her brother doesn't like when others try to play with his toys, so she's not surprised he went after Bonnie's new little crush. A part of Rebekah wants to tell Bonnie that she was stupid to think Klaus wouldn't try to control her, but the witch is an ally as of right now, so she keeps her mouth dhut when it comes to saying 'I told you so'.

"That's Nik for you." She settles with that. "I lost count of how many of my boyfriends and lovers he had killed. My brother isn't willing to share, Bonnie, so he gets rid of the competition."

"I'll die for good before I let him control me like this," Bonnie declares, feeling her heart beating even faster. No, she isn't going to let him take over like that. She may follow his orders when it comes to his master plans about war and all of that, but that shit isn't going to fly when it comes to this.

"Now, why do I feel my ears burning?" Klaus asks in that suave voice of him, and his usual grin just makes Bonnie want to slap him in the face. "You know, love, I like you much better when you're smiling."

"And you look better when I set you on fire." Bonnie is aware she sounds like a cross teenaged girl, but she doesn't care. Klaus should stay out of her business. "Honestly, Klaus, going behind my back to tell Logan to back off? What a cheap shot."

"No, love, I was just taking care of what is mine," Klaus says, shrugging his shoulders and not showing an ounce of regret.

"This is where you're wrong, I'm not yours. Having a child with you doesn't make me yours, I guarantee you. Besides, aren't you stalking that waitress, Cami or something?"

"Jealous?" Klaus asks, and Bonnie notices his jaw locking at the mention of his latest fling. Whatever, she doesn't care.

"Relieved is the proper word, but I would think you would leave my personal life alone when you're busy with yours."

Being the bipolar person he is, Klaus just comes closer to her and touches her cheek with the back of his hand, flashing her a menacing smile. Bonnie wants to shiver, but she stands her ground. Showing him any weakness is just giving him power.

"Don't you know, witch? I am your personal life, through and through. And I don't know why you would want to lower yourself by getting involved with this mere mortal."

Rebekah, who is still in the room, snorts loudly at Klaus' hypocrisy, and Bonnie shares the feeling.

"First of all, I was getting involved with all sorts of 'mere mortals', as you like to call it, last year. And if you're the greatest original hybrid of all times, why are you acting like a seventeen year old when it comes to your little bartender?"

Bonnie blinks, and it takes her a second to notice that Klaus is pressing her against the wall, with his right hand wrapped on her neck. It doesn't hurt, his grip is light, but his intentions are clear. Bonnie is smart enough to recognize this is a power play.

"Nik!" Rebekah gets up and tries to pry him away from Bonnie. It doesn't work, as he is so much stronger than his sister.

"Are you mad because I'm saying the truth?" Bonnie rasps out. She's not going to back off, not even when he has his hand on her neck. Her magic is swirling inside her at furious pace and it comes out with force, throwing Klaus across the room.

"Niklaus!" Elijah says with that authoritarian voice of his from his place by the door's threshold. He's holding a sleeping Sutton and looking a little horrified with the scene before him. "What on Earth is happening here?"

"Our dear brother is just being himself again," Rebekah answers. If looks could kill, Klaus would probably be six feet under now.

"Nik?" Elijah turns to Klaus, asking for an explanation. "Care to tell me why I come back to see you and Bonnie fighting?"

"What's a little violence between lovers, brother?" Klaus says, getting up from the floor with a little difficulty. He tries to hide it, but Bonnie can see he's a little thrown off by that surprise attack. "It was nothing."

"It'll be nothing if you mind your own business, I'm serious," Bonnie says when she turns to Klaus. She hates that she's shaken up by this. That's what she gets when she lowers her guard around the Mikaelsons. "And don't ever try to pull that again, or I'll make you regret it. Believe me when I say I won't care if you're Sutton's father."

Bonnie picks Sutton from Elijah's arms and walks out of the room without a second glance, leaving the three siblings by themselves.

"I know you like to antagonize each other, but I thought you two had moved past those fights. Putting your hands on the mother of your daughter, Niklaus?"

Klaus doesn't feel exactly guilty; he knows Bonnie can handle herself when it comes to him. However, the look Elijah is giving him is making him feel bad for behaving like he usually does, and he doesn't like to feel this way.

"Bonnie can handle herself, she doesn't need you to act as her knight in shining armor, brother," Klaus replies, and then raises an eyebrow, scrutinizing his brother. Elijah has been oddly protective of Bonnie for some time now, and he doesn't exactly appreciate it.

"I am sure she can, but I will still defend her. She's family now, or are you forgetting that?" Elijah asks, and Klaus' lips curl in a sinister grin.

"I remember that. I remember that she bore my child, and that's what you should also remember, brother."

With that, he leaves the room.

"He is a psychopathic asshole with an ego as big as Russia but he has a point," Rebekah speaks up, earning a lift of eyebrows from Elijah. Oh, her brother and his ability of to express himself without uttering a single word. "What? You know I'm right."

"I don't have any interest in Bonnie, especially now that she's the mother of my niece."

Rebekah doesn't believe in what her brother is saying completely, but she'll let it slide.

"Good. Keep that up, will you? We don't need another Petrova situation in our hands."
