Chapter 21
My baby - Final chapter

Some time before the events of The Battle of New Orleans, Bethan sits in a rocking chair in the baby's room, where she is writing a letter. Klaus enters the room and leans in the doorway
"Writing a love letter to one of your many suitors? So, who's the lucky recipient, then?" He smiles "Oliver ? Or, Tyler?" Beth rolls her eyes at him "Don't tell me it's me" They both laugh "I thought I was out of the running ages ago!" Beth laughs "And the award for "Biggest Ego" goes to..." She gestures toward Klaus, who continues to laugh. Suddenly, she groans when the baby starts to kick "Oh!" Klaus walks toward Bethan, looking concerned

"How is our littlest wolf?" He asked "Do you want to...?" She asks and rubs her baby bump expectantly. Klaus steps back, looking nervous, but Bethan  gives him a look "Come on!" She gestures again to her belly. Klaus reaches out and touches her abdomen, and he's startled when he feels the baby kick beth laughs "You feel that?" They both laugh in amazement, but after a moment, Klaus suddenly feels awkward and stands up "Right! I'll leave you to your secret letter, then!" Klaus rushes off, and Bethan  smiles as she thinks about Klaus and the baby.

Bethan narrates her letter

"Dear Zoe...or Kaitlyn...or Angela. To my little girl. Your dad just asked if this was a love letter. I guess it kind of is. I never got to know my mother. I have no idea what she must have thought when she carried me."

In the present, Bethan who is in the middle of labor, screams at Genevieve and Monique as they stand around her "AHHHH! Let go of me, you bitch!"

Flashback
"So, I thought I'd write to you, so you can know how happy I am at this very moment. How much your father and I can't wait to meet you..."

In the present, Klaus limps into the hospital and finds the witches with Beth who is shocked and relieved to see him. Klaus lunges toward one of the witch guards and rips his head off. Abigail and Genevieve link hands and telekinetically pin Klaus to the wall

"And, I want to make you a promise of three things that you will have that I never did: a safe home, someone to tell you that they love you every single day, and someone to fight for you, no matter what."

In the present, Klaus fights against the spell pinning him to the wall, but he cannot get free. Monique and Abigail anchor the spell and go back to helping Bethan

"In other words, a family. So, there you go, baby girl. The rest, we're going to have to figure out together. I love you. Your mom.

In present Klaus and Bethan watch fearfully as Genevieve grabs the ceremonial athame that was used for the Harvest. The teen  continues to scream in agony and terror as Genevieve turns to address both Bethan and Klaus
"You should know this brings me no joy. I promise I'll make it quick." She tells them both
One of the witches covers Bethans lower half with a sheet "Let's begin, shall we?"
