A/N: Alright so this is my first time writing a tory like this but I am so excited. I have had this idea in my mind for a while now and thought I should go ahead and make it happen. There aren't many of these stories out there so I wanted to make one.
This chapter will be a bit slow but next chapter Klaus will truly meet his daughter. This is just the foundation for the rest of the story.
The Littlest Mikaelson
Chapter 1 – Always and Forever
After Elijah had just saved Sophie Deveraux, she led him into the Cemetery so that she could reveal her plan as to why she had lured his brother to New Orleans.
"We can talk freely here." Sophie said.
"Then I suggest you start talking. What did your sister want with Niklaus?" Elijah asked.
"Isn't it obvious? We have a problem, and we need help. Marcel has had an army backing him. The witches have been trying to fight back. We haven't had much luck, until my sister Jane-Anne met a girl, a werewolf, passing through the quarter with her child. She had a special connection to your brother." She said.
"What kind of connection?" Elijah questioned.
"Apparently, they spent some time together. One thing led to another and she had a child. The father of the child is your brother Klaus." Sophie finished.
"That's impossible." Elijah stated, disregarding the thought all together.
"Nothing is impossible, especially when it comes to your brother. Think about it – they call him the hybrid right?" She asked. "Bring her out!" Sophie yelled.
The witches come out standing in front of an attractive young woman with brown hair and chocolate eyes to match. Elijah watches her with interest, while the girl looks confused and irritated.
"Who the hell are you?" The girl asks, clearly disliking the presence of all the strangers.
"Give us a moment please." Elijah asked in a way that didn't leave room for question.
"So have they been holding you here against your will?" Elijah asked.
"They lured me out to the bayou and captured me and my kid. They have been doing all these… weird witchy test on her. Not that I understand how this could happen. I mean, vampires are dead. They can't have children" She said fiercely
"Perhaps if you knew my brothers story, it might explain how this is possible. Here if I may" Elijah says and reaches out to lay his hand on her head but she recoils.
"What are you doing?" She demands.
"Relax. If you open your mind to me, I can show you."
Hayley allows Elijah to touch her head and they both close their eyes.
"In the beginning our family was human…. A thousand years ago now."
Elijah begins to tell Hayley how his family lost their youngest brother Henrik to the wolves on the night of a full moon. How their family was devastated with his lost that their father forced their mother use her black magic to make them stronger. How their father forced them all to transition into creatures of the night. Elijah explains everything that came with this transition. Speed, strength, immortality and hunger. He tells of when Klaus made his first human kill and how it triggered the curse, showing his true heritage. That his mother had an affair with a werewolf that resulted in Klaus. That Mikael was so infuriated by this discovery he forced his mother to cast a spell that would suppress Klaus' werewolf side, making it so he could not be his true self.
"Your dad was a dick." She said truthfully causing Elijah to chuckle.
"I'm Hayley, by the way. You should probably know my name if you're gonna tell me your whole life story. I mean, I know yours. Your family is legendary. Your brother is a notorious psycho… who I slept with. Classic me."
"I cannot excuse his behavior, but you must understand, when our father hunted him – hunted us – for centuries, every time we found a moment of happiness, we were forced to flee. Even here, in New Orleans, where we were happiest of all. Not long after Niklaus broke the spell which prevented him from becoming a hybrid, he defeated our father. I thought this would make him happy. He was angrier than ever. I wonder if perhaps this child might be a way for my brother to find happiness. A way to save him from himself." He finishes as Sophie enters the room.
"I'm glad you feel that way because we need your help" Sophie said.
"What, precisely is it that you want and what does it have to do with this young woman and her child." Elijah questions.
"We want to run Marcel and his vampires out of town. Klaus is the key. Everything Marcel knows about being a vampire, he learned from Klaus. Marcel trusts him, looks up to him, and he won't see the betrayal coming." Sophie says.
"Yes, well, as I'm sure you're aware, my brother Niklaus doesn't like to be told what to do." Elijah comments slightly amused.
"That's why I brought you here. Marcel drove the werewolves out of town decades ago. Do you really think he's going to welcome a hybrid child to the neighborhood? Convince Klaus to help us, and no one has to know about the youngest member of the Original family." Sophie says.
"That sounds remarkably like blackmail." He states.
"Like I said, I'm desperate."
"Well then I have my work cut out for me then don't I?"
Klaus and Elijah enter the Cemetery together to find Hayley and some witches present.
"No. It's impossible." Klaus denied.
"I said the same thing myself." Elijah said.
"This is a lie. You are all lying. Vampires cannot procreate." Klaus reasoned.
"But werewolves can. Magic made you a vampire, but you were born a werewolf. You're the Original hybrid, the first of your kind. And this pregnancy is one of nature's loopholes" Sophie said.
"You've been with somebody else, just admit it." Klaus screamed to Hayley.
"Hey, I've spent days held captive in a freaking alligator bayou watching witches poke and prod my kid and do a bunch of withy things to her because they think she is some supernatural miracle. Don't you think I would have fessed up if she wasn't yours? Trust me I don't want you to be her father any more than you do." Hayley said aggravated.
"My sister gave her life to perform the spell she needed to confirm that she is your child. Because of Jane-Anne's sacrifice, the life of this little girl is now controlled by us. We can keep her safe. Or we can kill her. If you don't help us take down Marcel, so help me, your daughter won't live long enough to realize Santa isn't real." Sophie said determined.
"Wait, what did you say?" Hayley said scared.
"Enough of this. If you want Marcel dead, he's dead. I'll do it myself." Elijah protested.
"No. We can't, not yet. We have a clear plan that we need to follow, and there are rules." Sophie said.
"How dare you command me, threaten me, with what you wrongfully perceive to be my weaknesses. This is a deception. I won't hear any more lies." Klaus growled as he was about to walk out.
"Niklaus, wait." Elijah ordered before turning his attention to Hayley and the witches. "Can we see her?" He asked. Sophie nodded to Hayley who all but ran out of the room to retrieve her daughter. Coming back not a minute later with little pitter patter trailing behind her.
"Ky, this is Klaus and Elijah." Hayley said to the little girl hiding behind her legs. "It's okay they are my friends." She said reassuringly. This seemed to be enough to make the little girl step from behind her mother. Elijah and Klaus' eyes widened with shock as they saw her golden hair that matched the shade of her fathers, the same cheek bones that he possessed, the full lips they shared. It was not until she looked up that they saw her beautiful blue eyes that were identical to her fathers. She looked at the foreign men to her before she gave them a small wave.
"Hi." She said softly. Her presence caused Klaus to take a beat to just look at her, like he wanted to believe. Wanted to be her father, but unfortunately he let his fears consume him.
"Get rid of them. What do I care?" Klaus said and left.
"No don't touch her." Hayley growled at the witches, pushing he daughter behind her.
"No one touches the child." Elijah said then left.
"Marcel and his vampires are out of control. Something had to be done." Sophie explained to Agnes.
"And the solution is to bring in more vampires?" Agnes questioned.
"These aren't just any vampires, Agnes. They're the Originals." Sophie said.
"What makes you think you can control the hybrid?" Agnes asked
Elijah appears.
"She can't. I'm not entirely certain that I can, either. But now that your coven has drawn his ire, I have a question: What prevents my brother from murdering you instead of cooperating?"
Sophie takes a needle ad shows it to the Original before sticking it in her hand.
"Ouchie..." The child whimpered looking at her hand.
"What the hell?" Hayley said looking at her daughters hand worriedly.
"The spell my sister performed, the one that got her killed? It didn't just confirm the pregnancy. It linked me to Hayley. So anything that happens to me, happens to her, which means her life is in my hands. Klaus may not care about his own child, but it's very clear what it already means to you. If I have to hurt that kid – or worse – to ensure that I have your attention, I will." Sophie said threating to a slightly amused Original.
"You dare threaten an Original?" He asked
"I have nothing to lose. You have until midnight to get Klaus to change his mind."
After the night of fighting and making deals with the enemies, the Original brothers, Klaus and Elijah, share a bench on the streets of New Orleans.
"This town was my home once, and in my absence, Marcel has gotten everything that I ever wanted. Power, loyalty, family. I made him in my image, and he has bettered me. I want what he has. I want it back. I wanna be king." Klaus spoke determined.
"So is that what this little girl mans to you? A grab of power?" Elijah asks displeased.
"What does she mean to you?" Klaus retorted.
"I think this child could offer you the one thing that you've never believed you had." Elijah said.
"And what is that?"
"The unconditional love of family." He finished.
"Tell Sophie Deveraux we have a deal." Klaus decides.
Later that night Hayley and Elijah are walking around the huge plantation house. Hayley pulls a sheet off of some dusty furniture causing the sleeping child in her arms to cough.
"Is she alright?" Elijah asks worriedly.
"Yeah she's alright" Hayley answers rubbing her daughters back soothingly. "Just dust. This place is ancient."
"Yes, it should serve our purposes. It's a sanctuary from our business in the Quarter. Right now, you and that child are the most important people in this family. She needs a good home. Although I'm curious... in all this time, has anyone asked you how you feel?"
"About having a miracle child with a psychotic one-night stand?" She asked.
"About being her mother." He clarified.
Hayley chuckled lightly. "I have been a mother for a while Elijah, a horrible one albeit. We have had it rough for a while, having to move around so I can have a decent job. I – I was abandoned when I was born and my adoptive parents kicked me out the second I turned into a wolf in their living room. So…. I don't really know how to feel about being a mother. I have been kind of just winging it because, I never really had a good one."
"I will always protect her. And you. You have my word on that" Elijah promises.
"And noble Elijah always keeps his word." Klaus says making his presence known.
"Is it done?" Elijah asks his brother.
"As a matter of fact, yes. Your underhanded deal worked quite well. Marcel was only too happy to accept my blood even as he accepted my heartfelt apologies. His man, Thierry, yet lives and I remain a welcome guest in the French Quarter. My only concern now is this coven of impudent witches." Klaus said.
"I believe them to be honorable. They did release Hayley and your daughter to me. Although, they haven't been entirely forthcoming. Marcel obviously has something that they need. They don't want him dead. There must be a reason why." Elijah decided.
Later that night, as Hayley and the miracle daughter were sleep, Elijah and Klaus were having a conversation. A conversation that Klaus ended by daggering his brother.
A/N: Alright next chapter will have a lot more interaction with the miracle daughter.
