MR. DADDY
"Kol, I do not know what you and Davina have gotten up to but you both need to get to the hospital right now." Gabriel sighs into the phone as he nervously stares up at the hospital sign.
'Charity Hospital'
He squeezes his eyes shut. "Caroline and I both need you here and I love you both."
Gabriel rushes into the hospital, Bonnie had already texted him the room number and he can hear Caroline panicking from a mile away. "Care?"
"Gabriel!" Caroline cries. "I have to have a C- section. I am so scared."
Gabriel nods at Bonnie and grabs Carolines hand in his own. "I won't let anything happen to the baby, love. Just calm down, I need to compel the surgeon and any of the staff on the floor before we start alright?"
Caroline sniffles but nods her head.
Less than half an hour goes by and they have moved her into a surgical room, Gabriel and Bonnie were both dressed in gowns and Caroline lays on the bed. "I love you, darling." He whispers into her hair as they were about to get started.
"I love you too." She tearily whispers. "Is this really happening?"
Gabriel himself feels a little choked up but nods his head. "It is, I need to put you to sleep okay? Human medication won't work on you so you will feel every cut if I don't."
"Don't let anything happen to our baby." She pleads and her bottom lip wobbles.
Gabriel's heart nearly leaps from his chest when she says 'our' but he frantically nods his head. "I promise. Nothing will happen to our baby."
Bonnie steps forward and gives Caroline her own teary smile before she whispers an incantation to make her fall unconscious. They both give each other an anxious look.
He looks toward the surgeon holding the scalpel and nods. "Begin."
The surgeon tries to cut open Caroline's body but the heart rate monitor shows both Caroline and the baby's heart rates increasing to dangerous levels.
"Gabriel." Bonnie gasps, looking away from the monitor Gabriel's eyes widen as he looks at what she was pointing at. The scalpel was now levitating dangerously beside the surgeon. They both gasp and it flies across the room and hits the wall.
"What the hell is happening?" Bonnie questions panicked.
All of the tools go flying off of the table just barely missing the three. The surgeon goes to pick one off of the ground but Gabriel shouts at him. "Do not touch it!"
Both of their heart rates slowly go back to normal and Gabriel sighs. "I think the baby wants to stay inside of Caroline. It has had a constant source of magic to take from until now."
"We should wake her up." Bonnie tells him, she steps forward but Gabriel quickly stops her. "Bonnie, telling her is only going to stress her out."
Bonnie shakes her head. "She would be furious we kept this from her."
"She won't be as furious when she's holding a healthy baby in her arms after everything is said and done." He tells her. When he notices she still held hesitation he sighs. "We need to channel enough magic outside of her body so that the baby is drawn to it. Maybe the baby won't resisit when the doctor tries to take them out again."
Bonnie nods. "We can try it. You and I should be enough to draw it out."
Gabriel sighs looking to the ceiling. "It won't be enough."
Bonnie gives him an odd look. "A tribrid and a Bennett witch, what more could you need?"
Gabriel gently lifts Carolines wrist where her bracelet is still glowing. "I gave this bracelet to her when Stefan brought her here nearly desicated. Even her vampirism didn't have enough magic for the baby to feed on so I gave her this. It is like a well to my magic. It allows the baby to pull from my magic constantly."
Bonnies eyes widen in shock. "That was over a month ago." Gabriel nods his head silently. "You could have died!"
"I would do anything to protect her, Bonnie." He simply states.
She nods her head and sighs. "Where can we get another witch?"
"I believe that is where Davina comes in."
Both of them turn toward the door and Bonnie stares at the man confused. "Who are you?"
"Kol was transferred into another body when my brother brought him back." Gabriel quickly explains. "I am sure you remember him well."
Bonnies face falls and she sends the man a disgusted look but Gabriel gestures to the girl behind him. "This is my adopted daughter, Davina Claire. She's a witch of the french quarter coven. I strongly believe her magic will be enough with your own."
Bonnie nods and shakes hands with the girl. "Nice to meet you, Davina."
Gabriel helps the two quickly get set up and nervously sits back with Kol watching the two.
"Phesmatos sequitos in lucema infantesi mortuous. Venis ad vitur. Venis ad essendier. Factuo partis viventia.Phesmatos sequitos in lucema infantesi mortuous.." They continuously chant and Gabriel motions for the surgeon to get started.
He sighs in relief as the vitals stay normal. Taking a seat beside the blonde he takes her hand and leans his forehead on her own.
Gabriel looks around and smiles as he spots the woman sitting on a blanket in the field he had chosen. "Such a gentleman. Where are we?" Caroline questions as she observes the mountains and lake ahead of them in awe.
Gabriel contently sighs. "I found this place after Marie had died. I had fled as far as I could as fast as I could and ended somewhere in the rocky mountains."
Caroline tilts her head in confusion. "Are you... are you in my head right now?"
"I am." Gabriel nods not saying much else.
"Everything okay? Is something going wrong with..." She trails off in worry. Gabriel hums and pulls her head into his chest. "Nothing I won't take care of."
"Gabriel..." Caroline nervously looks down. "I want to be with you forever. I can't picture myself with anyone else. But with the baby coming I can't just think of myself anymore."
Gabriel stares down at her with nothing but love and understanding. "I know."
"If you are in this..." Caroline looks up at him. "If you are in this for life, would you raise this baby with me?"
Gabriel can't help it when he beams at the woman and her shoulder sag in relief. "I was already planning on it, Caroline. I am in this for however long you'll have me."
"Both of her biological parents are gone..." Caroline sniffles. "We're her last chance to give her a good life."
"She will have a good life." Gabriel swears. "I promise."
Outside of her mind the Surgeon tells the group."Okay, now's our chance. The baby is ready."
He struggles for a moment before lifting the baby out from her belly, a nurse immediately takes her to clean her up and get her weighed. Kol, being the only one unoccupied stares in awe. In his thousand years of living he had never witnessed a baby being born. And he just knew this baby would be one of the most important people in the world to his brother, therefor important to himself.
Bonnie and Davina stop chanting and join Kol in staring at the baby.
"Oh my." Bonnie chokes out feeling extremely emotional. Alaric and Joe were not always her closest friends but Alaric was such a big part of all fo their lives for many years and to help his child join the world was the biggest honor she could think of.
Gabriel opens his eyes and quickly scans the room. Davina, Bonnie, and Kol were hovering over the small cot and cooeing. He quickly checks Carolines vitals and made sure she was healing before he quickly joins the group.
Noticing he was coming Kol steps back and smiles at his brother. "Brother."
The three part allowing him to get a view of the baby. Gabriel's lips part as he see's the baby. Her hair was blonde like her mothers and she looked so fragile and vulnerable.
"What happened? Are they out? Are they okay?" He hears Carolines groggy whisper. He beams at the woman and quickly but carefully picks the baby up to bring her to her mother. "She's right here, love."
Caroline's eyes water as she prepares herself to meet her baby for the first time. Gabriel gently sets the baby on her chest and she can't help the tears that flow. Gabriel kisses her forehead and shakily sighs. "You did so good, my love."
"Do you have a name chosen?" Davina excitedly questions.
Caroline glances at Gabriel before looking down at her baby with nothing but adoration in her eyes. "Elizabeth. Elizabeth Josette Mikaelson."
Gabriel's eyes burn as he stares down at her with so much love. He grabs her chin and pulls her into a deep kiss. Both pull away smiling at each other as a tear falls from his eye.
"Davina, meet your little sister." Gabriel gestures for her to come closer and she rushes at the opportunity. Davina starts talking to the baby animatedly making all the adults give each other amused looks. "I am going to be the best big sister. I will take you shopping, I will read to you, I will buy you clothes with dad's card, and I will teach you how to get out of trouble whenever dad's mad. It's not that hard." She whispers.
Bonnie and Caroline laugh at the girl and Gabriel rolls his eyes. Caroline looks to Gabriel with a weak smile. He brushes the hair from her face and gives her a soft smile. "What's troubling you, love?"
"I just wish we could stay in this moment forever." She sighs. "I know with everything going on you'll have to get back to your brothers soon enough."
"They can last a day with out me." He tells her. Kol clears his throat looking sheepish. Gabriel sighs. "Yes, Kol?"
Kol lifts his phone as he sheepishly reiterates everything that had been texted to him since no one could find Gabriel. "Camille was kidnapped, Aurora tried to kill her and Nik had to save her. Freya was stabbed and almost died when the Strix came to take Tristian back."
Gabriel shakes his head, unable to tear his eyes away from the bundle in front of him. "And my daughter was born."
