A/N: I made this because of a request from Chhavi. Chhavi asked me to do a fic on how Kat became pregnant, so here it is.
It was a dark night in Mystic Falls, Virginia as Katherine Pierce sat on a bar stool in the Mystic Bar and Grille with a shot glass of Bourbon, drinking alone. She was used to it, which made her almost like her eldest childe, Damon Salvatore. He had a habit of doing what she was doing right now; drinking her feelings away with some shot glasses of Bourbon.
"Fancy seeing you here," someone greeted her, as he sat down next to her and ordered himself some alcohol.
"Klaus," she said, eyeing him warily.
"No need to fret, Katerina. I have no intention of harming you. Besides, I won't be here much longer. I'll be out of your life by tomorrow. I'm going to New Orleans to take care of some witches that have been conspiring against me."
While he spoke, they both kept drinking, all the while not looking at each other.
"Caroline sure has you in bright spirits," she commented to him.
"What can I say? Sweet Caroline brings out the best in me."
"She has that habit on everyone."
She finished her drink, before getting up.
He grabbed hold of her arm.
"Where are you going, Katerina?"
"Somewhere that's not here."
"Come home with me. I'll give you a place to stay. You can even have the place when the three of us leave town."
She sighed. She wasn't sure if it was his kindness or the alcohol, but she couldn't refuse. He was offering her a place that she could call home as long as she was in town.
"Very well then. I accept," she told him.
He let go of her arm and got to his feet. They then headed out the door together.
When the werewolf-vampire hybrid and 500 year old vampiress entered, it amazed her. She had never seen or been inside the Mikaelson house before. It was huge and amazingly clean. She had thought it to be different, considering whom he was.
The hybrid poured a drink of Bourbon in a couple shot glasses and gave one to her, in which she took.
"To a new life," he said.
"To a new life," she echoed him.
They clanked the shot glasses together, before drinking them.
The next day, when they woke up, they were in bed together and remembered what they had done last night. They had had an intimate moment and had made love.
They looked at each other until he spoke.
"I think we can agree that this was a mistake. It was fun while it lasted, but I have somewhere to be." He then got up and got dressed, before heading out the door without an actual good-bye.
A moment later, she got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
A few minutes later, she was ready for the day. She left the bathroom and headed downstairs to get some food; blood. Technically, it was food, though.
That afternoon, as she sat on the bed, reading a book, she got a feeling and went to the bathroom to throw up in the toilet.
As she sat in front of the toilet, it was like de'ja'vu for her. She hadn't felt like this since 1490 when she had been pregnant with a healthy baby girl. She had been Illegitimate, so her father had given her girl up and she had never seen her again. She had never been able to find her.
"It's not possible. Vampires can't procreate," she said to herself, before getting to her feet. She knew Klaus, but she had to tell him. First though, she had to be sure before she gave them hope of having a child. If he accepted, it would most likely be the redemption Klaus had needed for centuries.
Soon after, she found that she was indeed pregnant with Klaus' child, which made her happy and fearful at the same time. It made her happy, because she could start over. She could get a second chance to be a mother. It made her fearful, because she didn't know what species the child was. If it was anything like Klaus, it would be a werewolf-vampire hybrid. That scared her, because a werewolf bite was deadly to vampires and she was a vampire. If it was a hybrid, the pregnancy could kill her. Right now though, all she wanted was her child to survive.
That night, she arrived in New Orleans at the plantation home she found out that Klaus was staying at.
She knocked on the door and he opened it.
"What an unpleasant surprise. Come in."
He went to the parlor and sat down in his chair with a shot glass of Bourbon.
She closed the door and followed him into the room.
"I'm in the middle of something, Katerina, so this better be important."
"I'm pregnant with your child. I think that's pretty important," she stated.
"You're lying. Vampires can't procreate."
"But werewolves can. Magic made you a vampire, but you were born a werewolf first."
"It's not possible."
"I said the same thing this afternoon. Listen, Klaus."
With hybrid hearing, he heard a heartbeat within Katerina's stomach. That's when he realized that she was indeed pregnant. He would be a father and amongst war, his child would be born. And once again, Katerina was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"Welcome to New Orleans, Katerina. So pick out a room. I have things to do," he said to her.
She went upstairs without a word. She knew him too well. She knew something was coming. He was most likely fighting or about to fight a war.
The next day, when she got ready, she came downstairs to see that she was alone in the house. Klaus must've had something important to do, since he had left her alone in the house. So, after having a wine glass of human blood, she left the house to explore New Orleans. She had heard that this city was full of music, culture, and beauty. She wanted to see if it would offer her anything. Surely, it would offer her something. Why wouldn't it? Where Klaus lived and was accepted in, she had to be accepted too.
As she walked, she heard music and saw shops and passersby. One of the shops, an herb shop, made her realize that this was another town full of witches. Then, as she continued walking, she sensed many vampires everywhere. That's when she figured out that vampires ruled this city. She figured that was most likely a bad thing. She couldn't sense any wolves around though, which made her think that they had been banished.
That night, on her way back home to the plantation home, she got a run in with some vampires, which she easily killed. She was 500 years old and a few days pregnant. They were no match for her. But as she headed home, she started to feel weak, which she didn't understand at first. But then she understood when she started to feel warm, which made her think that the kid was either a wolf or half wolf. She knew she was getting werewolf bite symptoms. And she was quite a while from home and getting too weak to vamp speed towards home. Then everything started to go blurry and dim. Then everything went black for her.
When Niklaus Mikaelson got home and didn't sense that Katerina was home, he went to go find her, as he called her phone, hoping to get her. He kept getting her voicemail though, so he gave up.
As soon as he saw her on the ground on her back in the French Quarter not far from a cement bench, he rushed to her side.
"Kaerina!" he yelled, as he rushed towards her.
When he knelt by her, he gently pulled her into his arms and realized she was very warm. He didn't understand why, since she hadn't been bitten, but he immediately bit his wrist and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to cure her.
"Stay with me, Katerina. I'm right here. You're safe now, luv. You'll be okay," he said, promising her protection and that he'd keep her and their child safe, no matter what.
A few minutes later, he took his wrist away and it instantly healed. He then gently picked her up in his arms and headed home.
Once in her room, he gently layed her down, before looking down at her and resting a gentle hand on her forehead, before removing it. She'd be okay now, he figured, since she wasn't burning up anymore, so he left her rom to go to his own.
When she woke up, she was in her room on her bed, the door closed. The last thing she remembered was knowing that she had werewolf bite symptoms, but now she felt better. That meant one thing only. Klaus had saved her life from their possible hybrid child.
She got up and grabbed some clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower. She had had bad luck and then good luck last night. What she needed was a shower, new clothes, and a day to herself.
No sooner had she gotten dressed and headed into her room, than she heard the father of their hybrid child.
"Katerina, could you spare a few moments with me?"
She sighed, before going downstairs and towards the parlor where he was in his chair, this time without a drink in his hand. She should've known that she'd be interrogated before she got any peace.
"What do you want?" she nicely asked him.
"After last night, we need some precautions. I'm gonna leave the cure here in case that happens again when I'm out."
"Thank you, Klaus."
"Well, we can't have him or her motherless. I also should inform you of something."
"Please do."
"I'm in the process of getting my dear brother back from Marcel. I daggered him and gave him to Marcel as a peace offering, but he seems to be keeping him in an attic with a bad tempered teenage witch. He won't give him or this city back, so there's gonna be war. You know how that goes. I'd like you to help me find out where he's keeping Elijah and find something to use against that witch and Marcel."
"I'll find out, but next time, when you want peace, don't use Elijah as a pawn. He may be noble and honorable, but how many times will he forgive you for everything you do to him? I understand you have your differences like everyone does, but you don't have to get rid of everything he loves, just to keep your family together. There's only so much suffering a person can take," she lectured him, before leaving the house to go find Elijah.
An hour later, she had succeeded, so she called Niklaus.
"He's in the attic of Father Kieran's church. That witch you spoke of is Davina. We can find Sophie Deveraux and use her against Davina and Marcel. The witches want Davina to use her during the Harvest. I think I can get Elijah back. Davina knows me from when she was a little girl. Sophie knows me, too. Sophie was a witch I used to make a few Daylight rings. I gave two to Emily to give to the Salvatores and kept a spare just in case. New Orleans was different, though. Supernatural beings stayed out of each other's way and they didn't rule the city. It was a lot like Mystic Falls back then."
"You seem to have a lot of allies in just the right places, Katerina. Where can we find Sophie Deveraux?"
"The cemetery. It's sacred ground, though. Vampires have to be invited in. I'll call Sophie to let her know that you're coming to speak to her. And no matter what, don't kill her. I'll go see about getting Elijah out of there."
That night, while Davina had gone to a party in the French Quarter, Kat walked in and got Elijah back home, before undaggering him. She then sat in a chair in a secret room, waiting for him to awaken. She wanted to be the first person he saw.
After a while, he finally woke up.
When he was out of his coffin, he saw her.
"Katerina?"
"It's me. My apologies for what Klaus did. He shouldn't have used you as a pawn like he did. I'm here and alive, only because I'm somehow pregnant with Klaus' child. Klaus is speaking to a witch. She's an old friend of mine. We need her to take down Marcel and use against Davina. She's not the girl I once knew. Since Klaus is busy, I thought I'd wait here for you to awaken."
"How is this possible? You're a vampire."
"I know. I've been thinking about that. Klaus is a hybrid, but he was born a werewolf. This child is a hybrid too, which is why he left me some of the cure just in case."
"That explains it then. I'll be back, Katerina," he replied, before kissing her forehead and then vanishing.
She didn't complain, because she knew that being daggered made him hungry.
When Klaus had arrived, she was on the phone with Sophie, asking where she'd recommend a doctor for her at. She was only a week or so in, but she knew she had to get an appointment to be sure everything was fine.
When she got off the phone, she headed to bed.
The next day, she headed into the Bayou towards the clinic. She was alone, but had told Klaus, Elijah, and Sophie where she was.
When she got there and the sea section was normal, the doctor left to go get something, before returning with a needle. She tried to stab her with the needle, but Kat was faster. She through her with vamp strength and made it out the window, before vamp speeding through the woods. Then, because vamps were after her, she killed them all, before getting exhausted and collapsing to the forest floor.
When Klaus found her, he rushed to her side and pulled an arrow out of her left shoulder, before looking down at her to make sure that they were both okay. He then gently picked her up in his arms and headed home with her.
When she came to, she felt better and was back in her room. She also saw that it was daylight and that she was alone. Then, with her senses, she found that she was the only one home.
"Why does this keep happening to me? I'm not a damsel in distress," she said to herself.
That afternoon, when she was in the parlor, she felt a stab of pain in her stomach. Then she started to feel light-headed, so she called him.
"Klaus, something's happening. I think a witch is trying to kill our child. You need to speak to Sophie and ask her if one of the elders is doing this. Hurry."
She heard him growl, before he hung up. She knew him well enough that he seriously was thinking about slaughtering some witches. She hoped Elijah could stop him from doing that.
As she started to feel warm, she layed down in bed, hoping for the pain and symptoms to stop. Then she fell asleep.
When Klaus entered her room after leaving Elijah to deal with the witches, she slowly woke up.
"Klaus?" she said softly, feeling warm and weak.
He went to stand at her bedside.
"We need to get you cooled down."
As he gently pulled her into his arms, she rested her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Once in the pool, he let the water cool her down, her still in his arms, as he dipped her a little into the water. As he did so, she started to feel better. And in that moment, she realized something. She was beginning to trust him and fall for him. In that moment, she knew, just knew, no matter what, he'd never let anything harm or kill her or their child.
When she felt like herself again and they left the pool, as she rested her head on his shoulder, she said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome," he replied, before she fell asleep in his arms.
Once in her bedroom, he gently layed her down in her bed, before leaving to see what the progress with the witches was. But then, when they came back, she was gone.
"Tyler Lockwood's been here," Klaus growled, smelling his scent.
The next day, when Kat woke up, she was in a cabin, Tyler and a werewolf standing not far from her.
"I'm guessing you're here because of the child and revenge on Klaus. You know, this is a little boring. What ever happened to moving on? Revenge is never the answer. I've been there and done that. It gets old real fast. Why don't you do yourself a favor and turn back around to Mystic Falls?"
"I can't move on until I've taken everything from him. He killed my mom. I've got nothing to lose, anyway."
He stepped towards her.
"So, what are you going to do? Kill us?"
"No. That sounds like a good idea, but I'm going to show you something, instead. You think Klaus wants to be a father? He doesn't love you or that child. He wants it to make hybrids."
"You're wrong. He has saved us both. He'd do anything for us. We're family."
He cut the ropes off her wrists and feet, before taking some of the kid's blood and injecting it into the male werewolf. Then, when he woke up and was in transition, Tyler told him to bite her. That didn't end well, since he wouldn't stop.
A few minutes later, Elijah and Klaus were there. Elijah pulled him off and ripped out his heart, while Klaus pinned Tyler to a wall.
"Why should I let you live?" he growled.
"Go ahead. Do it. I've got nothing to lose," he replied.
"Oh, you'd just love that. Wouldn't you?" Klaus replied.
"Klaus, don't," Kat warned him. "Just send him home."
"Leave New Orleans and never come back," Klaus compelled him.
He let go of him, before turning around to face his family.
"You should get rid of that hybrid," Kat told Elijah, in which he obliged.
"Thank you," she said to the father of her child.
Klaus knelt in front of her and grabbed her arm, pulling her to her feet, as he got to his.
A moment later, everything went dim for her.
He looked at her and saw her pale and unsteady from the newbie hybrid's bite.
As she collapsed, he caught her, before pulling her into his arms and picking her up. He then bit his wrist and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to help her.
When she woke up, it was afternoon. No one was in the room with her, but there was a couple blood bags on the end table for her.
She slowly sat up in bed and took one, in which she finished. She then did the same with the last one, before going in search of Klaus.
When she found him, he was at the compound being tortured and chained by Marcel's vampire friends and followers under Marcel's orders. She knew she had to stop them, so she ripped out his friends' hearts two at a time, before turning to Marcel.
"I don't know what your plan was, but now you're alone. You can't have a kingdom without friends and allies, so why don't you pack up and leave. If you don't, I'll kill you."
"No," he growled. "This is my city."
"Then so be it. You've made your choice."
At vamp sped, she pinned him to a wall.
"Good-bye, Marcel," she said, before ripping out his heart and letting it fall by his body. She then vamp sped over to Klaus and knelt by him, before unchaining his wrists and putting an arm around him to get him back home.
Later, after he was better, she told him what she did for him at the compound, in which he thanked her for. She had helped him get his city back. All he needed now were friends and allies.
