His baby mama (Kolvina)

A gift

Meanwhile in New Orleans....

Kol's pov

I was walking through the French quarter, Davina was at the bayou with her pack as that's the only place Klaus allows her and Hayley to go too although he still doesn't particularly like them leaving the house which I know both girls are getting increasingly annoyed about so I made a silent promise to myself that I will take Davina out sometime and take her out of New Orleans to travel and show her the world.

I plan to take her somewhere before the baby's born, just me and her alone with no interruptions meaning no siblings, no werewolves, no witches and no drama.

I come across a little street market and just casually walk down the street, scanning over each stall when I stop at one stall that sells unique looking jewellery. Perhaps I can get Davina a gift for carrying my child after all it was a tradition back in the viking days.

When a woman was with child, the man would give her a gift as a blessing or thank you for bearing their child. They'd also give them another gift once the baby was born but only if the baby was born healthy because sometimes there was a chance of a baby dying in childbirth and it did happen a lot. If the woman had given birth to a healthy baby with a beating heart, the man would give her a gift as a token of his appreciation for successfully bringing his child into the world.

I kind of want to keep up with that tradition and show Davina my gratitude for carrying my baby but also because I want to spoil her and make her feel like a Queen. Which was another thing back in the viking days, the men would cherish their women and treat them like queens well except for my father.

I don't think my father even loved my mother, I imagine he probably only married her because she was pretty and she was a witch so she was a power grab for him. I can't remember a single time where I caught him treating her like a husband should treat their wife, I only ever remember him scowling at her or not saying a thing but she wasn't any better. She didn't really show him much affection and most of the time stayed out of his way because of how much of a violent brute he was.

With a marriage like theirs it makes you wonder how they stayed together and how they made it work but then again they went and had six kids together so things were obviously alright somewhere. Of course my mother went and spread her legs for another man because father was so cold towards her and was away most of the time fighting in battles and that's how Niklaus was born.

I crinkle my nose in disgust at the thought of my parents, I shouldn't even call them that because they weren't good parents at all.

I don't want to be like them, I don't want to be like my father. I'm going to be better, I'm going to treat the mother of my child like a Queen and I'm gonna make her feel like she's the only girl in the world and I'm gonna love my child with every bone in my body.

"Excuse me mate? I'm looking for a gift for someone" I say getting the stall owners attention "ah and who's this someone?" he asks "my girl, she's pregnant and I want to get her a gift to show her how much I appreciate her" I respond and he smiles. "Ah I know just the thing" he says turning around and I watch as he goes behind the back of his stall and picks up some wooden brown box.

He opens the box and slides it towards me showing me multiple necklaces all different and unique "take your pick" he said as I started looking through the box, scanning over each necklace.

Davina's pov

I had finished having lunch with my aunt and was making my way through the bayou when Will came up to me "hey Davina" he says as he comes to stand "hey Will" I say as I keep on walking. "How are you doing today?" he asks "I'm doing good, thank you" I respond "so I was wondering what are you going to do with the baby when it's born?" he asks making me stop and turn to him.
