The Last Dance Chapter 1, an originals fanfic

This story was written by crazyabutto which I have adopted and reconstructed. The first two chapters were laid out and written by the author already - I have reconstructed it slightly to my preference. This fic will take a while for it to finish because the chapters won't be written and uploaded as frequently as you would think. Klayley all the way again, and hope you enjoy.

Credit to crazyabutto who laid out the path and set the first two chapters of this fic!

Chapter One

It's been a month since Hayley came to live at The Abattoir, yet nothing has changed. Dark Paradise by Lana Del Rey playing when she felt somebody touched her arm. "Care for a dance?"

All my friends tell me I should move on
I'm lying in the ocean singing your song
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
That's how you sang it
Loving you forever can't be wrong
Even though you're not here, won't move on
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
That's how we played it

"Elijah!" Hayley hugged the Mikaelson brother. She put her hand in his hand and allowed herself to be dragged to the dancefloor. He moved and placed his hands on her waist as they assumed the position to dance.

"It's weird to be back here."

"Not unpleasant, I hope." Hayley smiled him.

Hayley saw Klaus talking to a redhead from the corner of her eye. "Who is she? The one talking to Klaus? I've never seen her before."

"She is Genevieve. She is one of the reasons why Rebekah left. She ordered werewolves to bite her. So, Klaus can learn the truth about 1919."

"So, what is she doing here? I thought Klaus would've killed her the second he's done with her, but she's still alive."

"Apparently, she had feelings for Klaus in 1919. It is quite possible Genevieve still a crush for Klaus. Now, she is the Head of the Witch Coven, and if we kill her, there will be a war between vampires and witches." Hayley grimaced at the idea of vampires and witches destroying New Orleans over power and territory.

Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes, it's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side

Hayley subtly began eavesdropping on Klaus and Genevieve's conversation, thanks to her werewolf super hearing.

"You look stunning love."

"Thank you," Redhead smirked. "Do you like my dress?"

"Well truth to be told, it suits you perfectly." Hayley turned to look at them and could not help but frown at the sight of the two of them together.

"I chose this dress for you tonight. I thought you would like it and clearly, my guess was right." Genevieve edged to Klaus in attempted to kiss the man, when Hayley stopped dancing with Elijah and felt a change in her breathing. Elijah looked at Hayley then followed her eye line – he smiled softly seeing Hayley jealous – deep down inside, he hoped that Hayley and this child would bring peace and love in Niklaus's life.

Hayley let out a sigh of relief when Klaus didn't kiss her but instead whispered into Genevieve's ear. "I have things to do. Give me an hour. Then I will reward you in the way you cannot possibly fathom." He smirked causing the redheaded witch to chuckle.

"What's wrong, Hayley?" Elijah asked innocently.

"NOTHING!" Hayley shouted causing everyone around them to look at the pair, including Klaus and Genevieve.

Klaus left Genevieve's side and came over to Hayley's side with an amused look on his face

"I see our little wolf has decided to come back." Hayley didn't say anything. She and Klaus just stared into each other's eyes., when a new song began to play.

"I leave you two alone." Elijah smiled and walked away after giving a squeeze on his shoulder. Klaus was just about to turn to leave when Hayley's hand shout out and gripped his arm to stop him.

"What do I owe you this pleasure, little wolf?"

"Can't somebody want to dance with the father of her child?" Hayley asked pouting her lips. Klaus looked at the werewolf with amusement. He was confused as to why Hayley was acting so friendly and warm towards him.

"Well if the father was me, they know to stay well away from me." Hayley narrowed her eyes and put her hands on her hips.

"Well, you're the father of mine and I'm here with you right now. Please, can we dance just the one song?" Hayley was shocked when she saw a small smile on Klaus's lips. He put his hand out which she was more than happy to grasp on and was pulled onto the dancefloor. It caused a weird sensation throughout my body and saw Klaus's eyes change for a quick second before reassuming his persona. The introduction of Lana Del Rey's Young and Beautiful played hauntingly as Klaus pulled Hayley into his embrace, resting his hands on her waist and Hayley's instantly threw her arms over his shoulder.

I've seen the world
Done it all, had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant, and Bel Air now
Hot summer nights, mid-July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, the city lights
The way you'd play with me like a child

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

Klaus could feel something stirring in himself as he danced with this werewolf in his arms as they danced. He would be lying if he wasn't enticed by the beauty of her looks and her strong queen-like personality – he has no regrets having Hayley as the mother of his child.

I've seen the world, lit it up as my stage now
Channelling angels in, the New Age now
Hot summer days, rock and roll
The way you'd play for me at your show
And all the ways I got to know
Your pretty face and electric soul

Hayley looked up and was captured by Klaus's eyes on her – she was lapping up the attention the Original Hybrid was giving her; she felt as if he was making up for all those times he did very little for her since she arrived in New Orleans. Hayley was about to say something when Klaus grunted.

"What's wrong?" Hayley asked.

"The baby…" Klaus said softly as one of his hands slid around her waist to her stomach, "she kicked me." Hayley smiled seeing the look on Klaus's face. He rarely lets his emotions shown or lets his guard down, but with her, she sees the change in him – however, she wasn't sure if it was because of the baby or her. Hayley gently placed her hand on Klaus's and looked up at him and giggled as they felt the baby kick again.

"She knows her daddy's here."

"With her magnificent mother." He replied quietly.

"Klaus, I know it's not my position, but why are the witches here?" Hayley asked as their hands resumed position. Klaus knew Hayley had been watching and secretly eavesdropping on his conversation with Genevieve. He smirked.

Hayley realized what this smirk meant and felt the anger growing inside her. "What's the deal with witches? Genevieve?" She wanted to know everything that Klaus was planning to do to protect his child.

Klaus looked at the fiery werewolf that he had become infatuated with. "We have a deal with witches. Tonight, I'll make sure the deal has been agreed to."

"You cannot allow her to be involved in our child's life or upbringing, or even consider of having her as Hope's mother."

"No one is allowing her near our child, Hayley!" Klaus called her Hayley - he always called her little Wolf, and only called me Hayley when he is angry. Hayley shook her head and scolded herself for being irrational.

As the song ended, Klaus bent down and kissed Hayley's hand then left her to walk upstairs to address his guests.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us begin with a toast- a reunion of species in New Orleans that witches, werewolves, vampires and dirty cops." He raised his glass followed by everyone else in the hall following his actions to toast. He gulped his drink then left the party to return inside.

Hayley was about to follow Klaus but was stopped by the presence of someone from behind. "You're so lucky, honey. You are carrying his child." She turned around and saw the red-headed witch, Genevieve with a smug look on her face.

"I would do anything to be you-you slept with him and now you're carting his child. However, you don't deserve it. If I were in your place, everything would be better. But don't worry. I will get what I want." As she left me to take in her indirect insult, she gave me a devil's look and walked off. Hayley scoffed and told herself that she was going to stand up to Genevieve the next time she spoke to her like that again. She walked upstairs when she overheard voices speaking, using that as her guide to finding Klaus. The doors were wide open where she could hear Klaus clearly speaking with someone and hid around the corner to avoid being spotted.

"After Hayley gives birth, you will give her to us or we will find a way to take her. We will have her one way or another." Hayley pulled off the wall and was shocked to hear Jackson's voice and what he was saying. 'How dare he talk about me like I was an object?'

"I can't promise you anything, Jackson. It's Hayley's choice. If she wants to stay, then it is her choice – we have plenty of room, and she is always welcome. If she wants to go, she can go and will make sure that I will be allowed to see my child, or she can come see her child here. However, you'd be stupid enough to think Hayley would leave her child." Klaus rolled his eyes as he finished his scotch at the werewolf's stupidity. Jackson turned to leave the room when Klaus's voice stopped him.

Oh, before you leave, there's something else I need to remind you of." Instantly, Klaus pinned Jackson to the wall and stared menacingly into his eye.

"If you threaten my family again… IT WILL BE THE LAST THING YOU DO! I would be very careful what you say next if you value your previous life." Hayley can't believe her ears. All those days, she thought Jackson was a gentleman and Klaus was a dick, but now everything had been flipped upside down. It was Klaus is protecting and defending her against Jackson.

Hayley had enough and walked into the room and played innocent.

"What the hell is going on here?" Klaus and Jackson looked at Hayley at the same time.

"Jackson didn't like what I had to say and didn't do what he was supposed to for me, so I'm teaching his lesson." Klaus released his grip on Jackson's neck.

"And I was saying that I get what I want." Hayley clearly didn't believe him and he was still lying to her.

"Be careful about what you want Jacky." Klaus and his sexy British accent sounded simply amazing to her ears. Thanks to her pregnancy hormones, his voice was a massive turn on, but now wasn't the time to deal with it.

"Jackson, can you please give us a moment?" Hayley asked. He nodded and left.

Klaus turned to me. "I was teaching him something, little wolf. No big deal."

Hayley walked up to Klaus and kissed him, but a thank you kiss meant for his cheek ended up on his warm, pink-red lips. It felt amazing – like something just burst in her stomach. Klaus was in shock that his little wolf was kissing him, and eventually responded to the sweet kiss.

"Thank you." Hayley mumbled against his lips then pulled away, leaving a lingering look. She turned to leave, but Klaus grabbed her arm and pulled her back in for another kiss. This kiss one was better was better – it was full of passion, lust and tenderness. Hayley and Klaus were locked in an intimate embrace, when someone knocked on the door, interrupting their kiss.

"Hey!" Klaus and Hayley pulled away from each other, but Klaus did not release his grip on her, nor did she release hers on him. It was Genevieve – the red-headed bitch who acted all innocent and ignoring the fact that they were having a moment together.

"I was going to tell you that I've done what you've asked Klaus, and I'm ready for my reward." She approached us clearly wanting to show that she wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. Hayley could see right through her face – she wouldn't care that Hayley was in Klaus's life 24/7 or the fact that Klaus and Hayley shared a deeper connection than anyone realised… maybe not even themselves. Hayley and Klaus looked at each realising that they were in a compromising position and that they were each other in more ways than they ever thought of considering. Hayley couldn't hide the fact that she was angry by this disturbance, and Klaus could see it.

"Genevieve! We can postpone that. I'm busy right now as you see." If Klaus hadn't spoken, Hayley would've pounced on the witch and chased her out.

"It's okay. I can wait. I waited 100 years. I can wait a few hours more." Genevieve sat on the chair in corner of the room and looked at them with an innocent expression on her face. Hayley was about to say something when her yawn took over her words.

"You tired, little wolf?" Klaus asked looking at Hayley in his arms and brushed her hair away from her face. Hayley felt her cheeks warming up and nodded. Being 8 months pregnant was taking its toll on Hayley's health with the constant exhaustion and discomfort. Klaus used his vampire speed and took Hayley to her room. Hayley walked into her room and started to pull her hair apart. She heard Klaus starting to leave her room and immediately spun around.

"Klaus, stay?" I asked in an innocent voice. This was Hayley's chance to have Klaus to herself. Out there, there was Caroline, Cami and Genevieve all loving the attention from Klaus, but now Hayley wanted to indulge in it – she wanted him for a change, flaws and all. He nodded and came back to sit on the edge of the bed. Klaus watched as Hayley absent-mindedly undressed in front of him and quickly changed into a pair of shorts and t-shirt then slid into bed. Klaus came to sit on the bed next to Hayley, leaning against the bed frame. Hayley immediately felt the sleepiness hit her body, and rolled over and wrapped her arms around Klaus refusing to let him leave her.

Again, for the fifth time that night, Hayley managed to surprise him again with gestures of intimacy. He looked down at Hayley and stumbled through his next words.

"Well, love. Do you want to do our one-night stand cuddling now?" Hayley remembered that night they conceived Hope. They didn't cuddle, but things change and here they were.

Slowly Hayley closed her eyes as Klaus watched and listened to her breathing even out as she fell asleep. She only hoped that he wouldn't run to Genevieve.
