Always And Forever

It was 9am when Klaus and Hayley walked into the kitchen, hand in hand.

They instantly spotted Rebekah who was checking her phone and cooking something on the stove, her eyes brightened when she looked up and saw them.

"Good morning love birds." Rebekah teased with a smile, raising an eyebrow at the pair.

Klaus chuckled as Hayley rolled her eyes and greeted Rebekah with a hug.

"Hope is.."

"Drawing. Living room. She just finished eating." Rebekah said and her eyes briefly met Klaus' nervous ones.

"Well, go." Rebekah said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, laughing.

Klaus just stood there for a second, non moving, seeming deep in thought.

What brought him out of his thoughts was Hayley walking up to him and kissing him, hard, once on the lips.

He groaned into the kiss and kissed her with just as much urgency, half temped to throw her over his shoulder and return to their bedroom..

When they finally pulled back Klaus looked to Rebekah who was silently cooing at the site.

Hayley smiled at Klaus and grabbed his hand. "Go see your daughter, Klaus."

Klaus smiled back at her, kissing her once more. "Our daughter.. Will you.."

Hayley nodded and turned to Rebekah who just nodded and smiled brightly. "I have to go call Kol anyway. Go."

Hope Mikaelson was sitting on the ground, leaning over the coffee table and drawing with some crayons when she heard the sound of someone walking in.

She looked up and saw her mom, her mood instantly brightened as she ran up and hugged her.

Hayley picked her up and twirled her around, kissing Hope on the top of the head.

"Hi mommy." Hope smiled at her.

Hayley smiled gently, putting Hope back down and crouching down to meet the 7 year old's height.

"Hi baby." Hayley kissed here two fingers and held them out, Hope smiled and did the same before touching them with her moms.

Hope's eyes shot us when the creak of the floorboard sounded, a man walked in that looked very familiar to her.

He had dirty blond hair and blue/green eyes. He reminded her of her Auntie Bex a little bit.

"Who's this mum?" Hope asked with a sudden curiosity in her eyes

Watching her sleep had been one thing, it had brought a deep warmth yet sadness through his body. Sadness that he had missed to much, this was something else.

He watched silently as Hope's eyes lit up at the site of her mother, how she had ran to Hayley and hugged her. The pure admiration and love on Hope's face.

When Hope's eyes met his, his heart had nearly split into two. He felt like he couldn't breath. She had grown so much, hearing his daughter's voice sounded like silk to his ears. She looked so much like Hayley and yet so much like his family.

"Who is this mum?"

Klaus felt like his whole world had fallen apart and yet like his while world was finally complete.

"Hope." He watched as Hayley brought Hope's small hand into her own and turned to Klaus, still in a crouching position. "This is-"

"Are you my dad?" Hope suddenly asked, tilting her head to the side slightly, staring at Klaus and for a second Klaus' mind went to the first time he heard his daughter, how she had looked into his eyes, into his soul.

Hayley opened and closed her moth twice before looking to Klaus.

Klaus broke out of his trance and took in a deep breath, crouching down in front of Hope.

"Hello, Hope." Klaus smiled at his daughter and felt tears of proudness and joy sting his eyes, he turned to Hayley who had the same emotional reaction.

He reached out and hesitantly put his hand on the side of Hope's face. "My beautiful daughter."

Hope looked at Hayley as she just nodded.

Klaus was caught of guard when Hope threw herself into his arms, clinging to him desperately.

He smiled and hugged his little girl back, glancing over at Hayley who was wiping a few tears away. She was smiling.

Hope pulled back and smiled at her parents, she grasped Hayley's hand and pulled her mom closer so she could hug them both.

Klaus and Hayley shared a look of pure emotional bliss.

"I like drawing." Hope said with a small smile as Hayley walked back into the living room with a cup of coffee that she handed to Klaus and a cup of juice for Hope.

Klaus looked at Hayley with a smirk before back and Hope. "I like drawing too, love. Very much so."

Hope nodded eagerly. "Mommy told me that, she said that you were taught by famous artists."

"Your mom was right." Klaus smiled. "I must be honest.. I'm not nearly as good as you though." Klaus said as he looked through a few of the drawings that she had showed him.

Hayley smiled as she watched the scene. Hope took an instant love to Klaus just like she had done with her Aunts and Uncles. And Klaus, it was like every word Hope spoke struck a cord of pride inside of him.

Hayley sat right besides Klaus as Hope sat across the other side of the small coffee table, drinking her juice.

Hope shook her head at Klaus' words. "Uh uh. I think you're better. Mommy showed me."

Klaus raised a playful eyebrow and looked to Hayley who was blushing slightly. "Did she now?"

Hope nodded and got up, running to the other room before coming back with an old looking piece of paper, she gave it to Klaus.

"Hope-"

Klaus looked at the drawing that he had drew years and years ago, it was one of Camille. The first he had done of her. It drew up some serious emotions from Klaus who looked up at Hayley who was shaking her head sympathetic like.

Klaus looked to Hope who seemed oblivious to this. "Do you know who this is sweetheart?"

Hope nodded after a few seconds. "That's my Aunt Cami. Mommy says she was a very good friend of yours and our family's. And that she helped people like you. She's in heaven."

Klaus smiled sadly and nodded his head. "Yes she did. She was a very special women indeed."

Hope nodded and looked to her mom. "Mom can I have more juice, please?"

Hayley nodded and smiled gently at her daughter. "Yes, but ask Auntie Bex to help you pour it, okay?"

Hope nodded eagerly and moved to kiss both her parents on the cheek before leaving the room.

As soon as Hope was out of hearing distance Hayley spoke.

"Klaus-"

"Thank you." His eyes only now left the drawing of Camille.

Hayley looked confused.

Klaus continued as he handed the drawing to Hayley. "For keeping her memory alive inside Hope throughout these years. I know how happy that would have made her."

Hayley half smiled and nodded. "Of course Klaus. After everything Cami did for you and this family.. I wouldn't want my daughter to grow up and not know who she was to you. To us."

Klaus nodded and turned to Hayley with a smile.

Klaus couldn't help himself as he leaned in and gently connected his lips to Hayley's for a couple of short seconds.

Hayley let out a small moan when Klaus pulled back.

Klaus smiled at her and moved his hand wordlessly to around her waist, Hayley sighed contently and positioned herself so they were leaning back against the couch, her head on his chest and his lips placed to the top of her head.

There was a couple minuets of comfortable silence. "She is so incredible, Hayley. Beautiful. Talented.."

"Guess she takes after her father then." Hayley teased his earlier words from the night before. She smiled and looked up and him.

Klaus chuckled and rolled his eyes. "You raised her right."

Hayley nodded. "I tried. She really is an angel."

Klaus hummed in response. "Maybe a hint of the devil in her? She has to get it from me and her uncle Kol at least a little bit. And don't even get me started about the politeness she inherited from Elijah. And her bubblyness from Rebekah- gosh she reminds me of Rebekah when she was that age."

Hayley smiled well Klaus talked, feeling pure love coming from Klaus toward their daughter.

Hayley looked up and kissed Klaus deeply, grinning up at him. "Our family's Hope. Our Hope."

"Our Hope." Klaus agreed with a smile.

They kissed again for a bit longer but they turned their heads to the door when they heard a little laugh, she was smiling.

"How long have you been standing there Hope?" Hayley teased her daughter with a smile. Hope blushed and shrugged bashfully.

"A little bit." She moved over to Klaus and he picked her up and sat her between Hayley and him, all of them close and together. A little family.

There was a couple seconds before Klaus noticed Hope looked like she wanted to say something.

"What is it, love?" Klaus asked and looked to Hayley once.

Hope hesitated. "Are we going to be a family now, dad?"

Hayley looked up at Klaus when she addressed him as dad for the first time. The look of pure joy and happiness on his face was something that she had never seen before, it was so impossible to describe.

Klaus looked up at Hayley with a smile before back at Hope. "Yes, love. We are going to be a family."

"Always and forever?" Hope asked with a gentle curiosity to her voice. Looking back and forth between Klaus and Hayley.

Klaus chuckled and looked to Hayley who shrugged and smiled at him.

"Always and forever." Hayley was the first to promise with a large smile on her face as she looked at both Klaus and Hope.

"Always and forever." Hope confirmed with a smile before looking to her dad who was staring at both him and Hayley with such fondness.

He smirked at them, nodding his head once.

"Always And Forever."

A/N: I think I am going to leave this as a multi-chapter fic for my future klayope, Klope and Hope + the Mikaelson one shots. Like each chapter a different one shot of that kind if you guys review that you like the idea.

So if you want you can leave your name and a Klaylope, Klope, or any Hope + the Mikaelson one shot request / idea and I can write something up to post. :)
