Nightmare
At the compound, Klaus was dreaming. In his dream, the citizens of the French Quarter all prepare themselves for Father Kieran's funeral service. A long line of community members and family, including Cami, Francesca, Genevieve, and Marcel, as well as Hayley, Lizzie, Faye, Sage and Luke were nervously looking for Klaus who was running late for some unknown reason, he eventually arrived at the church after everyone had taken their seats as he quickly said hello to Cami who was clearly grieving for her uncle as he went to pay his respects to Father Kieran who's casket was now closed as he went to open it to see him but instead when he opened the caskets he found that his friend had gone and was replaced by two babies that he knew almost immediately were his son and daughter.
"Hi, there, little ones... aren't they beautiful, Elizabeth? ... Elizabeth!" Klaus said, cooing at his twins up as he turned around to see their mother and his love getting her heart ripped by Mikael.
"Greetings, boy." Mikael sneered as he staked him with the white oak stake before he could go to Elizabeth or pick up his babies, causing blood to pour out of his month as he began to choke him.
Suddenly, Klaus woke up from his nightmare as he sat up in bed painting and gasping after calling out Lizzie's name without meaning to due to being in a half dream like state as the images from his nightmares stayed with him despite being wide awake.
He felt the woman beside beginning to stir during to his sudden movement as she gently turned around to see what was wrong.
"Shhh, I'm right here... You okay?"Lizzie whispered as she sat up to see him place his head in his hands as his elbows rested on his knees that were raised as she tried to work him out.
"I'm sorry, love, I didn't mean to wake you." Klaus told her, feeling back since he knew that she needed her sleep as she was finding it hard to sleep with the babies kicking a lot more.
"It's okay, I'd rather you wake me so I can comfort you than you going through this alone." Lizzie told him, still not knowing what this was exactly yet she wished that he would open up to her more.
"I know, it's one of the many reasons why I love you." Klaus smiled, knowing that while his father had always seen him as a monster while Lizzie had always seen him as anything but a monster.
"I should hope so... Want to tell me what's going on with you? "Lizzie asked, wondering what could have cause that kind of reaction from him since she could tell he was really terrified.
"It was just a bad dream... A nightmare really." Klaus answered, not wanting to stress her out or to worry her with the details of his dream as she suddenly got an idea from his words about it.
"Well, it just happens I know the perfect remedy to nightmares, I'll be right back." Lizzie smiled, getting out of bed after kissing him on the cheek as she headed into the kitchen for a second.
"What is this?" Klaus asked once Lizzie had come back with two mugs full of warm milk as she handed him his before placing her own on the bedside table so that she get back into bed.
"Warm milk, Jo used to always give me this when I had nightmares... I would relive the night Kai tried to kill me and Luke and the murders of our siblings or in some of them, I had nightmares about the abuses we went through."Lizzie explained why she had them due to his questioning look.
"Thank you for this... I saw my father, he tore out your heart and killed in front of our children." He said in a small whisper after taking a sip from his mug of that soothed him.
"That's awful but listen to me, It was only a dream, Mikael is dead and I am okay... We're okay."Lizzie told him, taking his hand as she pressed a kiss to his palm before placing it on her stomach.
"But it was so real and for a moment there I was convinced I had lost you." Klaus said, finishing his milk and placed it on the table beside him as he turned to focus on their twins and her.
"But you didn't and you won't... How many times have you had this dream?"Lizzie asked, sensing this was nothing to new to him as she knew he was less likely to wake her up.
"For a few nights now before you get worked up, I didn't want to worry you when I knew you're always worried about everything going on in the bayou." Klaus sighed as he knew stress wasn't good for her or the babies.
"I still wish that you would have told me, I hate thinking of you going through this alone."Lizzie said, thinking back on what he had been like when she had first woke up to check on him.
"It's better now that you're laying next to me in bed again, the last few nights I've just watched you sleep and it calms me down." Klaus told her, thinking how peaceful she seemed sleeping.
"You've been watching me asleep? That isn't creepy at all and I just spent into the bayou a few nights. But I have to admit it's nice to sleep next to you again and be near you."Lizzie admitted.
"As I have, it's something I've defiantly missed... Come closer, my love, we could both do with some more sleep." Klaus said as he placed his arm around her as she snuggled closer to him.
