Marcel picked up the baby, and then vanished from sight. I presumed Nik followed him. I the contraction passed.

"We haven't go long grab the bitch and take her to one of the tombs" he knew better than to argue with me. He took me to a tomb then left to get Genevieve. Chaining her up I leaned against a wall.

"Why?" Hayley asked

"The ancestors left me no choice." she whimpered

"You were willing to sacrifice an innocent baby for more power."

"Not just more power. It was the ancestors' decree. It was her decree"

"It was who's decree?" Elijah asked

"I'm surprised you have to ask. After all you were the one who convinced your siblings to consecrate her on New Orleans soil."

"Esther" Hayley breathed

"Oh mother witch bitch is back."

"Not even death can stop her from seeking annihilation of her own flesh and blood."

"This isn't the end. Qetsiyah may have decreed that the boy child was off limits but that won't stop her from going after the girl. As long as she lives the witches of New Orleans will never stop coming after her. Esther will not stop coming after her. It has been decreed your daughter will be consecrated among her ancestors. She will not live. It has been decreed " she started crying blood.

"They're coming for me. I've failed them. Please understand I just wanted to live." she cried "Tell Klaus I'm sorry" she then started coughing as I screamed.

"Elijah it's happening!" I then heard a gasp and Hayley killed Genevieve.

"Get me too another tomb, I'm not giving birth with her there" he vamped me out and somewhere else.

"Hayley get my cardigan and put it on the floor, she came out of her vengeful stated and did as I asked

"Elijah take off your jacket we'll need to hold him in it." I felt myself wanting to push which I did screaming like mad.

"come on Beth you can do it" Hayley said I pushed again as Elijah held my legs

"Giving birth in a blood cemetery, typical me can't do something normal" I screamed pushing.

"Come on Bethany, I can see his head" Elijah told me I cried in pain as I gave everything I had. I breathed happily once I felt he was out. His little screams filled the air and I flopped on the floor.

"Our little boy" Elijah breathed

"We need something to cut the cord" Hayley said then left. She came back in wiping the dagger and cut the cord. I sat up and looked as he showed me Daniel.

"Do you want to hold him?" I nodded and he hand me our son.

"I'll call someone to pick us up" Elijah stated as I placed with my sons fingers.

"Hello." I giggled and looked at Hayley.

"Two miracles born within hours of each other" I smiled which she retuned

"What's his name" she asked me. I forgot she didn't know.

"Daniel. Daniel Kol Mikaelson" I told her

"Kol?"

"One of Elijah and Nik's brothers who was my best friend. He was killed by Jeremy, but was an amazing person."

"Someone's on their way" Elijah told us.

"I was just telling her about Kol." I laughed thinking of something "Gosh if he was here his ego would have shot through the roof. He would rub it in Nik's face." Elijah smiled

Drake picked us up and took up home. I was able to put Daniel in some proper clothes and i had showered and changed. Elijah held our boy in his arms like a natural I leaned against the door frame.

"You're a natural" I smiled he turned looking backwards

"I've had experience remember." I walked over to him and gave him a kiss before looking down at our baby.

"We must speak with Niklaus."

"You can speak with him i think Hayley needs some comfort" he nods and while he holds Daniel and talks to Nik I crouch down next to Hayley.

"You wouldn't believe to look at her she was born yesterday." I whispered

"I know."

"Hales I'm sorry" i told her looking up at her.

"What for."

"She's my niece and i can protect her like i can my own children. She deserves a home here with her parents and family."

"it's not your fault"

"I feel like it is. I have all this magic and when i want to do something with it I'm useless. We've grown close over these months and to see you like this.." i shake my head

"both of you deserve better." we heard the men talking about Esther and how unlike Daniel she wasn't safe and unprotected all his enemies want to use her against him. They were at a loss to what to do. Hayley stood up and went to the door.

"There is a third option" I stood next to her "I grew up in a warzone. My parents thought they could protect me. But in the end they were slaughtered , and i spent my childhood alone and unloved." i slipped away and sat next to Elijah.

"I made a promise to my baby and to myself. That she would not grow up like i did. That she would grow up safe and loved. And yet here she is on her first day in this world with a grandmother that is bent on sacrificing her." she started to cry so i got up and comforted her.

"And a mother that has to drink the blood of her own baby to survive transitioning into a hybrid. And I'm the one that loves her the most. I think the only thing to do is send her away while we stay behind and clean up the mess we have made"

"But you heard Genevieve say as long as she lives she will be hunted" Hayley leaned down to me crying.

"Not if no one knows she lives"

"Are you suggesting that we fake her death?" I ask

"I will do whatever it takes to protect my family." I looked down at Daniel and then at Elijah. The Mikaelsons have lived for over a thousand years and they have made more enemies than I can count. The word of Tessa was only going to go so far.

"Daniel has to go too." They all snapped their heads to me

"What? Bethany that's..." I cut my husband off

"There are three Mikaelson children in this family who are defenceless and they have inherited our enemies. Whether it's witches, werewolves or vampires, they have a target on their back. Daniel was safe while I could protect him in my stomach but he's here and so is she. I can't help fight all corners and protect my children and niece." I began to cry

"I thought I could, I thought that I could do everything for the longest time but it's clear Elijah, the best thing for the Mikaelson children is to disappear. If this is to be our home then we need to make it safe." He made me look at him.

"Are you sure."

"Sometimes you have to admit defeat in one battle to win the war."
