I make my way back to the hut in attempt to find Nik who is there with the two dead hybrids.

"Ah there you are I see you've found the wondering stray and the mother of two. Perhaps you can shed some light on this situation this" he pushed the bodies. "...would appear to be the body of a hybrid."

"They're names were Luke and Dwayne ."

"Whoever they were I didn't sire them, Beth did you?"

"Not personally no."

"See so how is it possible"

"As if you didn't know" I pulled her back in annoyance, and here was me thinking she was smart.

"Ah so you've cooked something up. Tell me then what have you conspired to levy against me"

"Tyler Lockwood brought the girls her to test a theory. That the blood of their children could be used to sire Hybrids" i could see him change to his version of shock "He claims you knew that. Furthermore, you intended to use this knowledge to build an army using your child"

"which i thinks preposterous just so you know" I butted in

"Noted, at the two of you assume it's true. I mean why else would i show any interest in my own flesh and blood. A heartbroken little cry baby points his finger at me and my own brother falls in like eager to believe him more than me and his own wife. How quickly you assume the worst"

"oh spare me you indignation when have you ever demonstrated any kind of concern to Hayley or her child beyond your own selfish pursuits."

"Enough!" I yell silencing them. "Elijah your notion is idiotic, if you accuse Nik of such a thing then you might as well accuse me"

"Bethany I know you would never.."

"oh really? then why on several occasions have you commented how Nik and I are so alike. That if we were born at the same time we could be twins."  there was a pause.

"Hayley even you said I was scary did you at one point say something along the lines about Nik."

"Bethany he even said it himself 'every king needs and heir'" i went to retort that was the line i used to convince Nik to save Hayley. But Nik stopped me

"My big brother. So you doubt my intentions. Well, i can't say I'm surprised. standing beside the noble Elijah, how can i be anything but the lesser brother? A liar, A manipulator, A basterd" he walks up to Elijah facing him.

"that's all i am to you isn't it? And Rebekah. And judging the way Hayley hangs on your every word its clear she feels the same way. the only person that still has faith in me is the lovely Bethany she's your wife yet in this argument she sides with me. I'm starting to think she knows me better that my own brother does." he came back over to me. "And no doubt my child will as well."

"Brother-" Elijah tried

"we have said all that needs to be said, brother. I'll play the role I've been given" he speeds over  and bites Elijah"

"no!" i catch my husband and lift him back up

"please enjoy each other's company, you'll have much to bond over once the hallucinations and dementia sets in. consider it my parting gift." he walked past us  and left.

"congratulations you pissed of Niklaus! you must be so proud" I put a hand to my forehead and the other on my swollen belly.

"Bethany, Klaus just bit Elijah and your defending him"

"i know what he did!" i roared she stepped back as my new powers kicked in. "get inside the shack maybe you can dig up history on your family. i want to talk to my husband" she looked down and did as i said.

"Bethany." i looked at him

"don't just don't. You are one of the first ones to say how my temper and personality can be like a twin to Nik's. Yet at the drop of a hat it doesn't apply anymore? How does that  work?" he stays silent. as i start to cry

"you know what hurts the most, it's not the accusations or that by implying he could do that you also include me. It's the fact you didn't even take my thoughts and opinions into consideration. Like what Tyler and Hayley think must be true because it would be so Klaus like thing to do. he's a liar, manipulator, daggers you without a second thought so of course he would be heartless enough to use his own baby for his means.

You even said yourself you saw something in him when he heard his child's heartbeat. And as for the 'every king needs an heir' i was the one who told him that okay" he went to say something but i cut him off.

"He was hell bent on taking back what was stolen and becoming king so i used what i knew he would listen to. Not just saving me and his nephew but also saving his child as well. Let me ask you something: Do you think that i would be capable of using our child for selfish reasons?"

"no the thought never even crossed my mind." he grasped my hands in his.

"then why would you him? It is true what you and everyone else thinks. i can be like him and i can be worse. Which is why i know that the thought of him using his daughter for his own need never even occurred to him. He was right when he implied i knew him better, that because we think alike." he paused thinking about his next words

"i am sorry  my actions and words have caused you upset. It was not my intention, and i also see that i should have not been so quick to judge my brother."

"He is your brother and you should know him better. I don't want to be the one that should have to tell you the obvious."

"forgive me  Bethany."

"there is nothing to forgive, but when we get back you will be sleeping on the sofa for two weeks." he let out an airy smile.

"why don't you help Hayley. I'm sure she wants to find out more about her family. they are rumoured to have settled around here. I am going to calm down fully." i went to leave but he pulled me back and kissed me. i smiled kissing back and wrapping my arms around him. Finally I pulled away.

"I love you Bethany Vanessa Mikaelson" i grinned

"As i love you Elijah Mikaelson" i went  round the other side and sat on the decking
