"Enough of this, if you want Marcel dead, he's dead. I'll do it myself." Elijah said as he turned to Sophie.
"No, we can't. Not yet." Sophie said as she stepped closer to Hayley. "We have a clear plan that we need to follow and there are rules." I...

I laced up my boots as I heard footsteps coming into my room. I looked up to see Hayley with a book in hand. "Going somewhere?" she asked as I heard another set of footsteps down the hall.
"Even if I wanted to go somewhere, I can't with Mommy and Daddy looking over my shoulder every few seconds," I said as I leaned up and pulled on my flannel.
"Cute nickname, love. Say it again." I heard the voice of Klaus down the hall.
"And now, I'm sick," Hayley said as I picked up my phone. We made our way down the stairs. I turned to see one of the witches sitting in the living room. "What is she doing here?" She asked as the woman looked up at me with a smile. I felt my magic twitch at the smile. I rolled my shoulders as I stepped closer to the woman and sat down next to Hayley on the couch.
"Yeah, what are you doing here?" I asked as I leaned back on the couch. "I told you last night, Agnes, I feel great."
"You are overdue for a checkup," Agnes said with a sweet smile.
"And what am I going to do, pop into the quarter for a quick ultrasound? Marcel thinks I am Klaus's wife, but when he finds out I am his pregnant wife, he will kill me." I explained as I rested my hand on my stomach.
"A lot of women would kill to have a child. It strikes me as odd that you're not taking better care of yours." Bex called out from the table. I narrowed my eyes at her back and flicked my hand to the side. I heard a loud sliding sound as the laptop fell to the ground, with Bex snapping her head to face me with a dirty look. She then picked up the laptop again and went back to work.
"I know a doctor out in the Bayou off the beaten path," Agnes says gently. "Now, I took the liberty of making an appointment for you tonight after hours, just us. Vampires will never get word of it."
I looked over to Hayley, who was watching Agnes. "Feel like coming with me?" I asked her.
"Sure, what else is there to do around here." She said as she closed her book.
"Okay, fine," I said as I followed Hayley out the door with the sketchy witch following right behind. "Bayou baby doctor it is."

I was lying on the medical table as the doctor used an ultrasound to check on my child. I turned my head to see Hayley sitting next to the door. I watched the doctor as she used the equipment carefully as if not to spook me. I sighed as I thought she was too careful. "She looks healthy. She is strong."
"Just like her mother," I said as I whipped the gel off my stomach and sat up. "We're done here, right?" I asked as I fixed my hair and pulled my flannel up around my shoulders. Hayley sighed as she pulled out her phone that had been vibrating for a few minutes.
"Your blood pressure's a bit high. I've got something for it." the Doctor said with a smile as she stepped out of the room. I sighed as I leaned on my knees. I watched Agnes and the doctor chat for a bit before I slid off the table.
