The Vampire Diaries

Tatia nodded, looking at her baby fondly as she gave Astrid's hand one last squeeze before letting go and holding her arms ready.

Klaus handed Tatia both the baby and the bottle gently.

Astrid watched quietly.

Tatia leaned her head on Klaus' shoulder as she fed the baby, turning to Astrid briefly and telling her; "Thanks for coming," with a small smile, before she turned her attention back to her son, running a finger over his face.

"It's okay," She replied quietly.

Klaus watched.

"We finally have our little boy," Tatia whispered to Klaus quietly, with a small affectionate smile on her face.

Klaus have a nod, smiling.

Tatia waited until he was sleeping, before moving the bottle away from the baby's mouth and setting it down on the side. "I want to see our girl, I have to see her." she said quietly, almost desperately.

Klaus nodded a bit and got to his feet, offering her his hand to help her up.

Tatia used his hand and got up off of the bed, before turning to Astrid. "Would you be able to?" she asked, holding out the baby in her arms.

Astrid nodded, taking her younger brother from her mother and grinning at him, "Hello," she greeted quietly, "You and your sister have caused a bit of worry amongst everyone these past few months."

Klaus slid an arm around Tatia's waist and led her from the room.

The baby simply snuggled up against Astrid, curling his hands across her fingers with small cooing noises.

Tatia leaned against him heavily as she walked.

Klaus led her into the room their daughter was in, looking at her when they got to the incubator.

"Things'll get complicated and scary you know, as a warning. It always does, but you've been born into the best family ever. Not many people mess with us , well, not often." She told him.

Tatia frowned and tried to hold back tears as she saw her, going to sit in a chair by the incubator and putting her hand through one of the holes in the side, gently stroking her daughters hand.

---

He just cooed a little more, opening his eyes and blinking sleepily at his sister.

Astrid just smiled a bit and watched him quietly then.

----
"She'll be fine, Tat," Klas assured softly, "Lets try and have faith on her, yeah?"

Tatia nodded, taking hold of his hand with her free one and squeezing it as she rested her head against him. "You're doing great sweetie, you can do it." she told her daughter quietly, tears dripping down her face despite her words.

--

"I thought there were supposed to be two?" Kol hummed as he came into the room, guiding Mia in with him, having been too impatient at home. Vanessa followed him quietly with Rebekah on her heels behind her.

"The girl is having trouble breathing, I think Klaus said. They're seeing her now." Astrid replied, glancing to Kol and smiling a bit at him.

----
Klaus ran his fingers through Tatia's hair soothingly.

Kol sat down next to her and kissed the side of her head gently. "You're okay with him?"

Vanessa frowned at that and left to go find her parents.

--

Tatia leaned back into him, holding his hand tightly.

"Course, looks like he's about to fall asleep. You can hold him if you like though. M'sure my mother and Klaus wouldn't mind." Astrid replied.

----
Klaus squeezed her hand gently.

"You forget I don't do babies." Kol laughed.

---

Tatia was silent as she watched her daughter for a few minutes, only looking away when Vanessa came into the room and stood beside her father.

Astrid just rolled her eyes with a quiet laugh, handin the baby to Mia when she sat herself down beside her. Kissing Kol's cheek a moment later.

Mia smiled down at her little brother brightly.

The baby just cooed softly as he snuggled against Mia, though he made a small noise at being shifted around.

"Hey Ness," Klaus greeted, glancing to her.

----
Mia just watched her little brother quietly.

"Hey daddy," Vanessa smiled, returning the small smile her mother gave her before turning back to look at the baby. She rested her head against the glass to watch her, and after a good ten minutes or so she ended up falling asleep where she was sat, completely exhausted.

--

"How's your mom doing?" Kol asked quietly.

Klaus sighed.

----
"She's exhausted and devastated that the other one isn't doing to good." Astrid replied with a frown.

"I can stay here and keep the baby company if you want to take mom back to her room. You'll have to clear everyone out though." Vanessa offered.

---

Kol frowned, "I'm sure they'll both be perfectly fine," he said as he kissed the top of Astrid's head.
