He was speaking sarcastically and the girl knew this making her jokingly roll her eyes and mumble a whatever before walking to get ready

As he waited for her to get ready he sat down in front of Xila and gathered her shoes to get them on her

You would think that she would be extremely under the goals for development and growth, but she was actually only just a little under

Really because she was already a little ahead of the growth achievements for her age

And yes the doctors said she will have to gain movement back but she seemed absolutely fine and doing great in her movement. Although Zeara kinda already figured she would be back crawling immediately, the only thing she wasn't so sure about....

Was her talking. Her doctors said with no doubt that will definitely have slow development in talking, though she may be fully able to comprehend what you are saying. That's only if you talk normal, because it's stimulates the brains as they hear you talk like any other time you talk

But for now it was highly recommended that Zeara teaches and uses sign language

Which was great because for some reason Klaus already knew sign language. Could not tell you why he knows it, but he does

He gently slide the white shoes onto the baby's feet and instantly he felt something. It was like something in his heart bursted, like a new emotion had just been unlocked, and like,

like Xila was his daughter

This feeling he had was all of a sudden so strong, and he sometimes randomly wanted kids. But he knew he could never achieve that

And it sucked. Which is why he had something special for tonight

So after he put Xila's shoes on he carefully picked up and put her on his hip, then looked down at the baby

Who was already smiling at him. With her big brown eyes and a excited wide teethless smile. Klaus gave the baby a look and spoke to her in a interesting manner

His tone was normal and his words were formal, it was like he was speaking to his brother

"Now child. Let's please keep our shoes on, because your mother picked out those nice white shoes to go with your lovely yellow jumper, which I must say you look adorable in. My point is your mother loves you very much but isn't the happiest when you throwing your shoes, so let's keep them on and be the best most smiliest baby ever shall we."

Having absolutely not a clue what he said the child clapped lightly and looked at him in awe. But just a few feet away was Zeara in the bathroom who had listened in on the whole conversation

She literally almost broke into tears because you could just hear now much he cared about Xila, and that was great and made her smile

But she just wished Tyler cared about Xila like that. Yet he didn't, he never did

So she was kinda glad that someone did, and no Stefan doesn't count because he will always care for Xila, always. Zeara meant someone that wasn't already basically a father figure to her

Even though Zeara turned her humanity back on the two still remained close and flirty. But they hadn't talked about what their status was

And honestly they didn't want to. Both knew what they and what the other wanted, and that was this right here

They were fine with where they were at and wanted to say like this

But of course nothing stays the same forever. There's always something or someone that messes it up
