-Hayley's P.O.V.-
I'm sitting on an uncomfortable rock, in a creepy ass cave with some witch bitches telling me I'm carrying the child of Klaus Mikaelson. I'm mentally listing out all the ways this is absolutely not possible but Sophie, bitch number one is filling my head with all the ways it is possible. I know I had a one nighter with the great old Klaus but he's dead... dead bodies don't have the means to procreate!
"We've alerted a messenger to inform Klaus about your pregnancy and we expect he'll be on his way rather quickly. While we wait for his arrival however, we are going to give you an insight to your predicament Hayley" The witch stared at me with a thoughtful gaze. "Well what the hell is your 'solution' don't just hold this over my head" I angrily spat out.
She stroked my cheek with her cold hand and I pulled my head back, angered by her unwanted hand on my face. "Though it remains true that you carry a life in your womb, we have put a sort of "pause to your pregnancy"
"Pause? Wait, what are you saying? You magically just stopped the kid from growing inside me?"
"Well it's more than a pause, we've enacted a spell that if accepted will essentially rewind your pregnancy, and you will no longer be pregnant or have anything to do with the original hybrid. This is not the same as an abortion of a child, the fetus will just cease to exist and it will be as if it never had, no pain or suffering involved" I stared up at her my eyes hard and cold but I couldn't hide the peeking curiosity bubbling up on my expression. "So you're saying if I don't want this pregnancy you can just erase it no strings attached?" I held a hopeful gaze my muscles relaxing at how quickly this situation turned for the better.
"That's mostly true except for one part" I snapped my head back over to Sophie frustrated for them leaving this 'one part' out of their first speech. "You aren't the one who will decide to continue your pregnancy, only the father of the child has the power to do so." I stood up and got intimidatingly close to one of the witches. "You're telling me there's a child in my body, that's going to become my responsibility and I'm not the one with the power to stop that?" I was screaming the last words and I felt someone pull me back down to sit on the bumpy rough rock.
As I sat seething, a pair of black shoes connected to a tall man with curly locks, and a wicked glint to his eye came into my vision. His hand reached out and he gently tilted my chin up to him. "So love, I hear our night together led to a child growing inside my little wolf." The way he called me his little wolf made me feel uneasy about the situation. Klaus was here and he wasn't angry about his soon to be fatherhood, I would be glad, except if he's not angry does that mean he wants this child? And he's the one to make the decision, I literally have no say or control over what's going to happen to me.
"I've been filled in on the choice to be made, tell me little wolf what are your thoughts?" He caught me off guard asking me about my opinion, as if he cared. This was weird and not like Klaus, first of all, I expected him to unquestioningly get rid of the fetus but he was giving me the sense that he's not going to do that, and now he's asking me my opinion? What the hell happened to Klaus?
I shakily stood up and he stepped closer to me, making my heart speed up. "Truthfully, I would like nothing more than to go through with the spell and not have to deal with all the complications you know this pregnancy would bring." Disappointment flashed on his face but he composed a neutral expression soon after. "Well love, your opinion is important to me and I will respect it." Was I in some parallel universe? There's no way Klaus would just go along this easily to something he didn't agree with. "So just like that you're going to agree with me and let me get rid of this pregnancy?" I was relieved but wary as this whole situation had an unnerving vibe to it. A small chuckle slipped out of his rosy lips as he brushed my hair out of my face and pulled me into a seemingly loving embrace. His chin resting on my head, I heard his throat clear as he prepared to speak. "As much as I want to please you, this pregnancy, this child-my child growing inside your womb is a once in a lifetime miracle, and there's no way that I would ever give that up. You, the mother of my child are going to bring me great joy by bringing a Mikaelson into this world." Right after he made it clear that he was forcing this pregnancy on me I tried to push him away but he held me tight to him until he finished speaking. Finally free of his grasp I stumbled back with a face of disbelief. "This isn't right, you can't force me into this, the witches have to undo their spell in order to keep the pregnancy and I'm not letting that happen." Right after my last word I sprinted past Klaus, the witches and out of the cave. I could tell he was caught by surprise so at least I had a head start. I wasn't fooling myself though I knew I'd have to hide somewhere soon because with his speed he'd catch up to me in no time. I squeezed through a gap in a fence and ran into a thick forest easily finding a large shrub to hide in. I caught my breath as my mind raced with how I was going to get out of this. The witches said since the spell was already in action I'd just need to wait for the fetus to be gone, no action necessary. The question is I didn't know how long I had to wait. I pushed my hair behind my ear to listen for footsteps and didn't hear any. I slipped out of the bush and began to look around for a less temporary hiding place but suddenly strong hands grabbed me and pulled me around to face the one and only Klaus. I angrily stared at him for a split second before pushing him with all I had and making another run for it, he was barely phased and reached out and grabbed my arm causing me to slip and fall with my back to the ground. I tried to get up but he got on top of me and pinned my wrists above my head as his weight on me ceased the rest of my body from fleeing. I breathed heavy and glared up at him hating the fact that I couldn't fight him off. His eyes glinted and his mouth pulled into a smirk "Now Hayley I let you say your piece about your opinion on my child and gave you my respect, but you running away from me doesn't show me that you have much respect for my decision."
"How does forcing me to have a child show respect for my choice?" I shouted.
"Oh little wolf, one can respect something without agreeing with it. Now let's get you up and back to the witches and stop this spell." I began to beat my fists on his chest trying to push him off me but he just got up and pulled me right up next to him. Of course when I attempted to run he just grabbed my waist, picked me up and slung me over his shoulder. "You monster Klaus, I'm never going to forgive you, you can't do this let me go!" I screamed profanities at him and struggled all the way back to the witches. He laid me down on a slab and held me down as the witches restrained me with rope. Angry tears were streaming down my face and I caught a glimpse of guilt in Klaus's eyes but they quickly hardened as he told me this was for the best. I felt a hand lift up my shirt and some sort of substance was spread on my stomach. The chanting began and Klaus intensely watched them undo the spell. I gave up screaming mostly due to having lost my voice and just looked up at the ceiling wishing to be anywhere but here. "It's done" a witch said. Sophie leaned down towards me and said "I'm sorry it had to happen this way Hayley, I wish we hadn't had to force you, but this baby will bring you endless possibilities and you'll realize the miracle that this pregnancy truly is." I kept my hardened face on not wanting to show a trace of emotion. I felt the ropes loosen and I sat up, Klaus brushed over my hand and said "let's go love, you'll need lots of rest tonight" I ripped my hand away sneering at him. "Who the hell made you think I'm going to go home with you?" He seemed irritated at my refusal to comply but I just got up and started to walk away. He put his hand on my shoulder and turned me towards him. "I'm sorry love" then he pierced a needle right into my neck and I stumbled into him as my vision became spotty and eventually black.
-Klaus's P.O.V.-
I held no pride in forcing Hayley to mother a child, but her pregnancy is the most important thing I've ever experienced. I couldn't just give up this miracle. That baby and her are now the most important things to me. I picked up her motionless body and carried her bridal style to my SUV. I laid her in the backseat and then started the ignition to drive to my mansion. When we arrived she thankfully remained sedated and I easily carried her upstairs into a bedroom fitted for a queen. As much as I hated, I gave her another injection to keep her tranquil till the morning. I didn't want to give her big doses of tranquilizers due to her being pregnant but small doses were perfectly safe for her. I pulled up the silk comforter and caressed her forehead. I shut the door and made my way to my own bed, satisfied that everything had worked out with just a few bumps along the way.
The morning light stirred me and after getting ready for the day I walked over to check on Hayley. I knocked, and after no answer, walked in to see her still sleeping. I sat and watched her for a little and then her eyes groggily began to open. She struggled to open them fully for a little then finally held them open. She swiftly sat up and I was at her side pushing her gently back down. "Don't sit up so fast, you'll get dizzy love." She confusedly stared at me and then at the room as a look of horror took over her face. She sat up again and moved away from me. "You drugged me! Oh my god do you have any sense of morality? I'm not staying here!"
"You are in fact staying here whether you like it or not, and I'll make sure of that. You're not safe without my protection. Once people know of the child they'll come after you, they'll hurt you to hurt me. Under my protection that won't happen." I sternly spoke every word so she'd get the message that I was serious about keeping her and my child out of harms way. She took a few shaky breaths and leaned against the headboard pulling her knees up to her and putting her head down on them. I touched her shoulder reassuringly and told her to come with me downstairs. She hesitantly got up and crossed her arms as she followed behind me. I led her to the kitchen and began preparing breakfast. She just stared at me, I could practically see steam coming out of her ears. The clink of the plate I set in front of her took her glare off me as she saw the omelette, yogurt, and milk placed in front of her. I watched her pick up her fork and take slow bites. She finished maybe half of it and then stopped eating. "What's the matter, don't like my cooking?" Unamused, she crossed her arms and mumbled "being kidnapped tends to put a damper on your appetite."
"Well Hayley you're missing out, maybe the more you eat the more energy you'll have to come up with insults to throw at me."
"Or maybe I'll get the energy to actually throw something at you, perhaps a stake?" I laughed and cleared away her plate and she just sighed as she traced the lines on the granite countertop. I didn't want it to be this way but I could understand her rage. I took her options away from her but she just hasn't realized it was for the best. Out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of her full lips pulled in a small frown. Yes Hayley and I had sex one time but it was impulsive, and driven solely by lust from us both. Looking at her now though, I began to notice her many attractive qualities. Her smooth skin, pouty lips, captivating green eyes and the gentle curve of her breasts were hard not to look at. Her beauty matched both inside and out and I smiled thinking about her individuality, unwavering fierceness, and relentlessness- even if it was towards me. I think I'm falling in love with Hayley Marshall.
