Earthquakes between two

A/N: It was written down pretty quickly, so there might be mistakes, but I'm so tired and I need to get it out there... so let me know, and enjoy!

Rebekah stood at the top of the stairs watching the young woman pretending to read a fashion magazine. Rebekah's brothers were moving around the room, having a heated discussion about something concerning the baby again. The wolf girl's eyes followed their every move, not having turned a page for the last ten minutes. When Rebekah's strained her ears she could hear the little heartbeat inside Hayley tick like a tiny bomb. The wolf sighed and Rebekah smiled to herself despite the anger she felt towards Elijah and Klaus. She remembered what had been said that first night… "Us girls have to stick together."

She was happy to let Marcel distract her. But lately it had been harder. While Hayley grew bigger, her feelings and respect for him grew smaller. She cursed him for not listening to her – like all the other men she had fallen for. He wanted to protect her, and in his foolish attempt to be the knight in shining armor he missed the vital part about hearing the one he was supposedly saving.

Rebekah sighed and went down the stars, speaking up to be heard above her brothers. They had grown more heated too; both wanting to become the alpha of Hayley. Klaus because he wanted what he could not have – like a child who don't want to share a toy he stopped playing with a long time ago. He only wanted the sweetie that was inside of it.
Elijah because he wanted someone to distract him from being not human. And because he was a masochist, always going for the worst match for him, wanting to make it better. His brother's werewolf one-night-stand, carrying a hybrid baby… Before that, Katherine. Enough said.

"Well, my dearest brothers, have you not forgotten the most important thing?"

All three of them looked up at her arrival – Klaus smirked knowingly, Elijah looked at her with the patience she knew and Hayley… she was fighting a losing battle with the smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. Rebekah's heart fluttered as she let her gaze meet those huge, animal-like eyes for a second too long. She had always had a certain aura around her, but since the pregnancy had started to show she practically radiated. Rebekah tore her gaze away to give her brothers her most disgusted look.

"As usual you two are at each other's throats like two lovesick mutts – no offence, wolf-girl", she said and looked at Hayley who let out a; "non taken."
"– while the person you are trying to decide for is sitting in-between you two." Klaus' smile crept away and she could see the hybrid-anger stirring in his eyes. They gave away a tint of yellow.

"And your point is, sister?" Bekah went up to Hayley, standing between her brothers.

"Isn't it obvious? Ask her what she is thinking for once!" She held out a hand towards Hayley, making her point. Klaus rolled his eyes while Elijah was slightly embarrassed.

"I'm sorry Hayley, of course you also have a say in this…" He looked apologetically at her. She huffed.

"Oh, Elijah, I never had a say in this matter. I knew that as soon as I realized I was carrying this supernatural miracle bun in my oven." She threw an annoyed glance at Klaus. "Can't thank you enough for that, father of the year." He smiled his manipulative smile.

"You're welcome love. It's the only reason I haven't killed you yet."

"Now Klaus, that is no way to talk to Hayley. I will protect her with my life, if necessary. You have to treat her with the respect she deserves…"

"Aren't dogs supposed to be kept outside in a dog house, though? Maybe that would solve our little disagreement." Klaus said, smiling and giving Hayley a look with raised eyebrows – as if he was awaiting her response. She merely sighed. "We could build her one and both have the key so that we could take turns on taking her for walks. I would pay for the food of course…"

"Klaus! Find your decency! You are half wolf yourself."

"Oh, I'm a mix of two lethal creatures; I am a superior race. I can do as I please." Rebekah could hear the slight irony in his voice.

"Well how about-" She started, but instead Hayley stood up so abruptly she turned the table upside down. It crashed into a million of shards digging into the carpet like broken dreams. She growled so deeply it felt like the house was moving.

"If you two are going to decide my fate anyway, I would prefer you doing it somewhere I don't have to hear it. I am pregnant, not deaf! I might not have a say of what my accommodations will be in the near future, but I can still tell you to leave me alone! This house is, if not mine the baby's, and it is not your prisoner! I want you to leave! Solve this at your headquarters and let me know later. You are stressing out the baby! And when you come back-" she growled again, showing her protruding fangs. "…bring me Ben and Jerry's and some parsley." She looked at the two brothers. Elijah looked baffled, Klaus slightly amused. "I have cravings, okay!? What are you waiting for!? LEAVE!" she barked.

"Whatever you want love," Klaus said and left the room. Elijah mumbled an apology before turning to Rebekah.

"Could you please watch over her, Bekah. And clean up this mess. She could cut her feet." He turned to leave while Rebekah cried after him:

"Since when did I become the cleaning lady!? Don't we have staff to do this for us!?"

Hayley stood in the same spot, shaking with anger, breathing in ragged breaths. When the front door slammed shut and the house was spookily quiet, she let out a trembling sigh and fell back onto the sofa. She closed her eyes for a moment and then spoke in a soft, eerie voice.

"It's as if they were my big brothers…" Rebekah let out a little laugh.

"Oh, believe me, that'd be almost as bad as this." She went out into the kitchen, got a bag and a brush and after cleaning most of it up (by throwing out the table and the carpet and hovering the place off in about 5 minutes in super speed) she gave the pregnant werewolf a long look.

"You hungry? Despite all of the maids I've had in my life I can cook. I used to sneak down into the kitchen to learn in secret. Klaus would've killed the staff for it, but it was one of the few things I never got caught doing. Including the kitchen boy." She smiled at the memory. "They forgot to feed you again, didn't they?" Hayley hummed in answer.

"Elijah usually remembers, but he's been a little stressed out lately, I guess." She looked so sad when she said it that Rebekah immediately got cross with her usually dependable brother. Going around making everyone trust him with everything and then he just can't live up to it. He was the perfect brother for god's sake; shouldn't he be able to do anything? She quickly rushed out into the kitchen and soon returned with a bacon, cheese and sweet chili sauce sandwich. This was the wolf girl's favorite snack. Rebekah had against her will – and sanity – gotten used to taking care of her brother's hormone-filled baby mama. She realized that while her brothers were fighting about her bits and pieces – Klaus busy with trying to control her, Elijah caught up with trying to protect her honor – Rebekah was the one who got to get the know Hayley. She knew her likes and disliked, before and during pregnancy. She knew the words or acts that would make the wolf come out and, after a while, she'd learned what made her laugh.

Every time Rebekah heard her laugh it was like a surprise – like the summer winds making the water of the ocean lap the shore. She clucked. Rebekah herself wasn't a laugher but she noticed that with Hayley; she might be becoming one. But of course, all too often Hayley's beautiful laughter would turn into tear stained cheeks. Afterwards she would blame the hormones and apologize between the napkins handed to her, but even though it did make Rebekah sigh in annoyance she also knew that Hayley felt trapped in her own body. Let alone this house.

"Sooo, how's our little pup doing?"

"Well, not too bad…"

Hayley suddenly drew a sharp intake of breath and closed her eyes.

"Are you alright?" Bekah was in front of Hayley in less than a millisecond, hands on her upper arms. Hayley opened her eyes and raised her eyebrows in surprise. Her eyes were filled with wonder, not pain. Rebekah searched for something in there but saw nothing worrying – but her heart was beating so fast.

"I think… she kicked." Hayley's cheeks grew flushed as her voice almost broke. Then she squealed. "She did it again!"Hayley's hands were on her stomach. Rebekah could hear the kicking of the inside. She let go of Hayley to step away, but Hayley looked up at her and smiled with such wonder that Rebekah stopped breathing. She didn't really need to, but she did it on routine.

"Gimme your hand!" Rebekah felt Hayley's fingers close around her hand and she almost trembled with the heat and life in that grip. Hayley pulled the hand to her stomach and Bekah stared at it. At first it was nothing but the sound of the steady heartbeat, but then… a tiny eruption against her hand – like someone was knocking from the inside. Hayley and Rebekah locked eyes and stayed that way, with the little baby's feet making Rebekah feel like there was an earthquake happening between them. And when she became aware of Hayley's sweet breathe against her chin she was sure there might actually be one. Are earthquakes common in New Orleans? She thought to herself, and by closing her eyes she stepped away and let go of Hayley's hand.

"That's…" She started off with some snarky comment, but when she looked back at Hayley; who was staring at her stomach with her bottom lip between her teeth, she trailed off and ended on a heartfelt note. "…pretty, darn amazing." Hayley hummed in a warm way that made Rebekah touch her neck a little awkwardly. This is in normal cases supposed to be a moment shared with the father… or the man in your life, at least... Or well, woman! Rebekah wasn't exactly a homophobic; she'd lived in the 19th century and travelled around England and Sweden. She's participated in the women's rights movements and had of course had a few ladies here and there over the years. She'd adored the time of big skirts, gloves and corsets. It had been a very erotic era with an air that had been thick with secret. Only months ago had she shared a beautiful girl with Matt. She enjoyed the woman she encountered, but men were easier to lay over quickly. Like a bus stop on a long ride. Women were more the whole trip, to the last station so to speak. It took some work.

She would not tell her brother's however. This would most likely make Klaus lock her up and stop her from seeing another living soul. And Elijah might be understanding and patient about most things, but he was after all a very old gentleman. He would probably not be too fond of the idea.

So, of course, if it's to be two mothers this moment should've been shared with the second mother of this child. But Rebekah was neither of those things. She was merely the other parent's sister who happened to be there when the two rivaling fathers were off being absent.

And even so, Hayley could've just told her about it. Instead she invited Rebekah into the private moment without hesitation – like it was the most natural thing in the world. It wasn't natural at all; they hardly knew each other! But… Hayley didn't know her family. And Rebekah had always been rejected or forgotten by hers. It was as if those rights of women were still being neglected in her family of men. And now her family was doing the same thing to Hayley. She was probably the only one who fully understood Hayley and her situation. And now she realized she truly wanted to be a part of that situation, no matter what.

"Man, all this kicking made me hungry," Hayley announced and woke Rebekah from staring out the window. She turned back to watch the werewolf sit up with some effort to grab the sandwich plate. She leaned back and placed it on her football big stomach. "Perfect. I'm starting to like this pregnancy. Or what do you think?" She was talking to the baby. That was a first.

"I guess she was practicing some karate kicks in there," Rebekah said, with some effort to put a smile on her face again. When Hayley met her eyes, chili sauce in the corner of her mouth, it came out naturally. "She's learning from you, probably picked it up during that time you kicked those witches' asses."

"Let's hope so," Hayley agreed between bites. "Seriously, Bekah, this is perfect. You should become a chef or something. And hey, you'd never have to worry about getting fat!" That made her laugh out loud. Hayley could be such a child sometimes. She was after all a couple of hundred years younger than the Original. But it sure helped Bekah to get some perspective.

"Well, I'll keep that in mind." She put on the TV and they settled on watching some ridiculous episode of a vampire TV show. Hayley laughed and mocked, while Rebekah tried to tell her that it would be seriously idiotic to let the human world know about vampires. As they watched and bickered Rebekah realized to her great dismay that all she wanted to do was sit closer to those two steady heartbeats… Preferably with Hayley's fingers entwined with Rebekah's own and draped across that little creature growing inside of her. Bekah told herself that it was only because she'd felt that kick and that she was after all a woman who had not borne any children. But a little tingling warmth below her belly and her heart told her otherwise. A little voice that she hated whispered to her; You're not just staying because of the baby. You want to be there for her.

And it was as if a tiny, red flashlight had suddenly lit up inside her heart.

A/N: I was so dissapointed when I went on here and couldn't find a single Haybekah fanfic. Seriously, it is out on tumblr and youtube!
So I had to, obviously. This could be viewed as a big step towards them being best friends or something, but I think they are both starting to feel something. It is so on. Bekah always seem to be jealous of Elijah and Hayley, and I don't think her looks are only because she craves her brother's attention... And the way Hayley reacted when Bekah said she was leaving... wow, her face! And their amazing eye-sex and witty comments. "Us girls should stay together." "I don't ruin a perfectly pair of good boots for just anyone." "I've grown to like that about you." In my head; meant to be.

You can tell me no, but once I've seen it, it's there. Enjoy! I have done like told me to do... I unleashed my imagination! And plese readers, do the same! I can't wait to read others' fanfics about these two! ;D
