Taming The Hybrid (TVD. Klaus Mikaelson)

Casket Girls Parade

Chapter Twenty-Two

I stood in the bedroom, standing infront of a full length mirror. I had no idea where Klaus was. He left earlier saying he had an errand to run. I don't know what it was but I didn't care to ask either. It was just yesterday we found out Klaus had more family. And today New Orleans was celebrating the Casket Girls. I don't know what that means and I didn't care. There was a fun parade to be held.

Anyways I was checking myself out. I had gained a bit of weight and the slightest baby bump was forming and I could finally see it in this dress. But still no matter how small my bump was, it wasn't allowing me to fit properly in the dress I was wearing. I hadn't been able to get the dress zipped up any further than my lower back. "Would you like some help?" Someone asked.

I looked up to see Elijah leaning against the door frame. I missed him and Rebekah, sure it was only like two days apart but I was so used to them being around. And then the mishaps when Elijah was left in the bayou and Rebekah was plotting against Klaus also made it more time away from them. Anyways, on a better note, Elijah was here. I don't know why he was here but I didn't mind. "You might need to use all your vampire strength," I teased.

He chuckled and walked over as I still struggled getting the zipper up. "Allow me," he said and walked over. I sighed and dropped my hand, ending my struggles. Elijah easily got the zipper all the way up and did the clip at the top that rested between my shoulder blades with the way the dress was cut. "Thanks," I smiled sincerely, looking at him in the mirror. "Not too many casket girls I guess," I joked seeing it was a costume dress.

"I think you look lovely," Elijah complimented and I smiled. He stood to my side and I hugged him.

"I miss you guys," I muttered.

"We've missed you. Rebekah has been busy doing God knows what. Something about looking for an outfit for today's festivities."

"Yeah?" I laughed, pulling away and messing with my dress. It was so pretty and you could see my little baby bump. Aw! I was so excited. Klaus was taking me out tonight. "What are you doing here, anyways? You and Klaus are barely on speaking terms," I frowned.

"I just thought I'd stop by to check up on you while I waited for Rebekah. She is not fun to shop with."

"Well, thank you Uncle Elijah," I smiled and he chuckled.

"Have you been to another appointment yet?" He asked and I scoffed.

"I wish. Klaus said he wanted to go soon so he could see the baby this time but we've been too busy to make an appointment," I informed him.

"Of course," he mumbled.

"Don't you start," I warned and he laughed. I sighed and looked at myself one last time in the mirror. I can't believe I was even wearing this dress. I wasn't going anywhere at least not until later today. I wanted to wear it to the parade but it seems Klaus wasn't going to make it back in time to take me. What a waste.

"Elijah, do you mind?" I asked him as I tried to tug at the clip on the dress.

"Hold on, I got it," he laughed at my fail attempts. He walked back over to me and undid the clip and unzipped the dress. I felt slightly awkward but I needed out of this dress. It was tight and uncomfortable plus I had no reason to wear it. I wasn't going to just sit around in while the parade thing is already going on.

Elijah did the zipper all the way down to the end where it rest very low on my back. I held the front of the dress to my body and stepped away from him afterwards. "Thank you," I said.

"Yes, thank you," Klaus said. I looked up to see him smiling sarcastically in the doorway. Elijah and I both sighed and faced him as he walked over to us. Elijah shook his head and shot me an apologetic look. "I'll see you two at the parade then?" He asked.
