Waking up I could feel someone breathing against my neck. Their nose moving along my neck as they inhale my scent, a hand on my belly, rubbing soft circles along the swollen bump. I opened my eyes slowly to see a head of blonde hair pushed into my neck.
"NiKlaus." I whispered, my voice cracking slightly. I felt him let out a soft groan into my neck.
"You smell so sweet now." He breathed.
"Do I?" I asked. I felt him nod against me.
"How are you feeling?" He asked as he pulled away from my neck to look at me. His eyes sweeping down to my now swollen stomach.
"Like I had an oversized balloon shoved under my stomach." I told him, looking into his eyes. He chuckled at my answer, shaking his head. "I'm so tired." I muttered, yawning to prove my point. He grinned at me when I said that.
"Well then you better get up then." He told me with a wolffish grin. I groaned as he grabbed my hand, pulling me up.
"But I'm tiiiired!!" I whined at him. He continued to force me up, helping me with a cardigan to keep me warm.
"Nope, come on. You won't regret it, promise." He assured me, wrapping his arm around my lower back and guiding me down the stairs and to the front door.
"Klauus!! I'm not wearing pants!" I exclaimed as he opened the door.
"You're covered up, come on." He told me, leading me out of the house. All of a sudden it felt like I was a different person. Taking a deep breath as I looked up. The full moon staring down at me. I stared in awe as I saw gold dust raining down from the moon, sparkling as it fell.
"You're glowing, love." Klaus whispered, watching me in wonder.
"Do you see it?" I asked him, my voice coming out breathy. "The dust...It's beautiful." I spoke softly. I felt my other mates coming outside, standing back to watch me.
"I don't see any dust, love." Klaus told me. I turned to look at him, making them all gasp slightly. "Your eyes-" Klaus breathed out, staring at me. I blinked a few times, confused.
"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.
"Their glowing, Astin." Elijah spoke up, stepping up to us, Kol and Finn following suite.
"You are so beautiful, little Elf." Finn whispered amazed. I felt a slight blush spreading to my cheeks at his compliment. The energy flowing through me felt like an adrenaline rush. Like I just chugged several energy drinks. I smiled as I took a deep breath in, skipping forward as I grabbed a hold of Finn and yanking him to the grassy area, holding both of his hands as I spun us around. The moon shining upon us as I made him dance with me.
Giggles leaving my lips happily. Finn grinned at me as he pulled me to him, twirling us around and making me laugh. He spun me away from him to have me end up Elijah's arms. Taking my hands and spinning me to have my back to his chest, swaying for a moment, his nose to my ear.
Elijah spun me back around, somehow Kol taking his place, both of us laughing as Kol took my hands and we spun in circles, leaning back as we did.
I heard the others laughing at us, as Kol pulled me back to him, my swollen belly pressing against him as he held my head and dipped me low. He growled lowly as he dragged his nose up my throat to my chin.
"Hilda.." He whispered to me, a child-like smile brightening his face. "You are the most beautiful creature...I have ever seen." He whispered, his lips hovering above mine, before I leaned up to kiss him softly. Kol pulled me back up, his arm on my low back as held me, lifting me slightly as he spun us, handing me back off to Finn.
"How are you feeling, little elf?" He asked, his hand pressing into my side.
"Like I could do anything." I told him with a smile. "I wish I could show you what I see right now." I whispered, my hand moving to his cheek as I leaned close to him. The gold dust surrounding us as I pressed my lips to his, moving against his. I could feel the love around me. So much of it.
That night lasted for hours. Dancing, laughing, kissing. Finn ended up bringing blankets out for us all to lay under the stars together. Making sure I ate before we fell asleep under the stars, altogether. Happy.
