I've decided to start yet another story between Klaus and Hayley. I just get a lot of ideas and I love this couple too much. I think many other Klayley stories will follow as I find time to update chapters for each and every one of them. I'm even going to post a poll afterwards for you to let me know which story you love most. The Klayley Fandom is always begging for more fanfictions so I thought that I would be of some help. This story begins after the explosion in the bayou in 1x19. It contains a lot of hurt and comfort from both Klaus and Hayley and their needs. This is my own version of some parts of the episode and if the fanfiction is liked, it will continue. Hayley had already called Klaus and wrapped it up with Marcel, but she will be facing some difficulties with someone new in her life and she will need Klaus' help and attention more than she realized. I won't tell you what will happen just yet but it will change Hayley and Klaus' lives. Reviews please and tell what you think.
Her phone rang and she had no idea whether she should answer it or not. She had a lot going on that day and she didn't need any more trouble. The caller ID told her that Jackson wanted to speak with her and she pressed the button to answer. "What do you want, Jackson?" "Hayley, there's been another explosion." "What? What are you talking about? What other explosion? What do we do? Are people hurt?" All of her questions tumbled out of her mouth before she could stop them. "There are some werewolves that require your attention. Eve is badly injured and I don't know if she is going to make it." "What are you talking about? What about Eve?" "She never triggered her werewolf gene, Hayley. She never killed anyone. Therefore, after an explosion like that, and the wounds she got, she could easily die." Hayley covered her mouth in horror. This was the last thing she expected. "You tell her to hang in there, okay? We can't have any more of these losses and Eve is…she's our friend. She needs to hang in there. Please, tell her that." "Of course. Hey, have you spoken to Klaus?" The bitterness in Hayley's voice was hard to ignore. "Yes. I called him and let him know what's going on." "And what did he say?" "He told me to stay safe and then brushed me off, telling me that he is too busy to come to help us at the moment." Jackson growled on the other line and Hayley sighed. "I told you that it is hard for us to trust him. I don't know what I am going to do now. I have to take care of this by myself." "No, you don't. Look, Klaus may be the dick we all know he is but that does not mean that he is not a dick who cares and he does care. You just need to have a little faith, Hayley. He'll come around. Whatever is going on at the moment must be more important for him to deal with." "Yeah, sometimes I wonder." Hayley whispered and pressed the END button. She knew at this moment how much people were depending on her. Slowly, she made her way to the bayou, thinking about how she was planning on leading her people the right way.
Klaus could only think about their phone call. Short and simple. He didn't know what it was about her that made him feel so guilty for not going to her at that moment. It wasn't like he could. He had to be there for Cami. She needed him and he thought that he needed her just as much. Besides, why would Hayley need him when she's got Elijah with her? Elijah. He gritted his teeth as if sick of hearing his brother's name over and over again. He hated everything about his brother's "nobility". Klaus never got the chance to prove that he was also noble but in his own way. Somehow the little wolf never came close to understanding that. She believed what every other girl in the past had thought about him. He is the lying, bastard brother who only cares about himself and could in no way compare to the noble Elijah. He was the lesser brother in Hayley's eyes and in the eyes of every woman out there. He somehow hoped that with this child, he would find redemption for himself. He would have a little girl who would love him unconditionally, and he wouldn't have to worry about having a woman in his life that he could love and shower her with gifts while she loved him back just as much. He was snapped out of his thoughts when Camille came towards him with a smile tugging on her lips. It was a sad smile but a smile, nonetheless. "Kieran is still in a bad shape. I don't know what I am going to do. There is not enough time and I feel a bit lost. Please, Klaus, you have to do something." Cami told him. He sighed. He didn't know how much help he would be able to offer her. He knew that he had promised Hayley that he would be there for her once he finished his business with Kieran and he has. He was currently in transition and Camille knew that he would never accept to be a vampire, even if that meant releasing himself of the curse. "I'm afraid that there is not much I can do, love." "Would you stay with me? At least just for a little while?" She asked him in a kind voice. Klaus looked back to his phone and hesitated. "I…" "You don't have to worry. Elijah's with me." the little wolf had told him. Elijah, the pure and noble brother. Hayley wanted him. She had always wanted him by her side. She needed that kind of man in her life. She needed purity and he needed the same thing from someone just as pure. Good people meant purity and Camille and Elijah were the exact definitions of purity. He smiled sadly and whispered, "Sure." making Camille's eyes brighten at the news. "Who was that you had been talking to upstairs when we were with my uncle?" she asked him. Klaus put his phone in his pocket. "No one to worry about, love. The matter is settled and if you find my presence necessary, I will of course stay." he said.
"Hayley!" Jackson coughed up as the werewolf girl came forward. She coughed at the smoke from the exploding van. "What has happened?" she demanded to know. "Another attack. We really don't know what we should do." Jackson explained. "Where is Elijah?" Hayley asked and Jackson shrugged. "He must be somewhere…" Hayley had no time. She looked around. "Where is Eve?" "Hayley…" "Where is she?" she nearly yelled out in anger. Jackson pointed to another van and Hayley ran towards it speedy quick, opening the door only to find Eve on her death bed. "Is she…?" Hayley began but her sobs cut her off. She didn't even need to ask. The looks all the werewolves in that van were giving her said it all. "She's dead." Hayley whispered as she sobbed and covered her face with her hands. She felt Jackson' arms wrap around her in comfort. "Where is Oliver?" Hayley asked and Jackson shrugged. "I haven't seen him either. I don't know what the hell he could be up to right now when we're in the middle of a crisis. I sure as hell hope that he isn't creating a crisis himself. He was super mad. Ragging on how he believes the vampires have done this." Hayley shook her head. "The vampires haven't done anything." "How do you know?" "I spoke with Marcel. He revealed some of my family history, told me that ever since my parents died, he has been my secret guardian angel of some sort, trying to get me safe because I am the only Labonair heir left. He told me that he didn't kill my parents and he didn't attack us or sent anyone to do it for him. I don't think the vampires did this. They wouldn't." Hayley said and Jackson just sighed. "How do you know that? How can you trust them?" "It's like Oliver said. I've lived half my life with humans and the other half with vampires. I can figure out a thing or two on my own." She stood up from where she was crying, touched Eve's hand tenderly as a sign of goodbye and left the van. "So, what do we do now? We just wait for Klaus to show up?" Jackson asked as Hayley made another phone call then ended it. "Elijah is not answering his phone and I am not going to stoop that low as to beg Klaus the second time to come and help. I have my pride to think about and I don't like giving Klaus the satisfaction." "So, we just wait for another attack on us?" "No, Jackson! Stop being so difficult. I was not suggesting that. Look at me. I am a pregnant werewolf and I am going to give birth very soon. What do you expect me to do? I am doing the best I can for this pack, nothing more and nothing less." Jackson nodded. "Alright, then I am going to call Klaus." He took his phone out of his pocket but Hayley grabbed it from him. "Did I not just tell you no? You can't!" "Hayley, more lives are stake. We already lost too much." They sat down and thought about it. "Jackson, do you think that you can manage taking care of things in the bayou for me? I would like to head back into town for a while. Elijah was right. This place is not safe for me anymore. I do belong here with you and I know that, but until my baby is born, I think it would be best if I were to stay at Klaus' mansion." Hayley whispered. "You can't leave us, Hayley. Not now when we are in the middle of war." "There is no war, unless we are the ones who start it." "The people who did this to us have already started it, Hayley. You can't just deny that." "I am not denying anything. We don't know anything for sure and until we do, we cannot accuse anyone so as soon as you find Oliver, make sure to remind him that." "Why must you always do what Elijah tells you?" Hayley laughs and shook her head. "Trust me; I am doing the exact opposite of what he tells me." There was a small silence as Hayley saw something behind the trees, looking at them both.
Klaus stood alongside Cami as Kieran woke up from his transition. They had some chats until Klaus was asked by the Father to leave him and his niece to talk. He decided to take a stroll on the streets and think things through. He attacked Genevieve on her way to the greenhouse which belonged to the witches. He had asked her about what happened in the bayou that would attack the werewolves, including Hayley and their child. She had given him a lot of crap talk that he didn't think he should take in consideration until he decided to think about Genevieve's analysis of the events more carefully. She had let him realize the disturbance in Father Kieran's behavior and the witch had told him that even though he did turn Camille's uncle into a vampire, the curse will eventually come back. Klaus gasped when he heard Camille's cries from inside the church. He went there immediately and saw the horror in her eyes as Kieran was attacking her with a knife. He did what had to be done. He took the stake; waiting for confirmation from Cami before plunging the stake into the heart of the monster who once used to be one of the few humans or people he has grown real respect for in his years of living on Earth. Sadness filled inside of him when he thought about Kieran and how he didn't deserve to die through this cruelty. Camille was crying on the floor. He swooped her up and brought her back to the apartment where he called Marcel to be with her. He watched as her hands called out for him. Cami was showering Marcel with sweet kisses all over his face. Kisses of sadness, of love, Klaus couldn't tell. He knew that something was going on between the two and he wanted to sit there and watch them. There was no jealousy he felt. It was something, something empty in the pit of his stomach. He watched as Cami and Marcel hugged each other as she was in pain. He watched as he comforted her and told her that everything was going to be okay. He told her that he was going to take care of her from now on. She wouldn't be alone and she nodded, smiling at him. This was exactly what Klaus wanted. He wanted someone to care for this much and someone who would care for him this much as well. Someone to whom he could come back home to, someone who would shower him with kisses this way. Just a special someone. He felt Marcel's eyes on him and he smiled. He had let him come back for this exact reason. He made him come back for Cami and he knew that. "Thank you." he whispered and Klaus nodded in response. He couldn't bring himself to smile, however. Slowly, he made his way out the door and left them.
"Hello, sweetie. Who are you?" Hayley asked as she approached the young girl behind the bushes. She didn't answer. "Are you okay?" Hayley asked her again, walking slowly and grabbing her hand. The child just stood there with her eyes watering and didn't say a word. "Jackson, who is this girl?" Hayley asked and Jackson just shrugged. "Don't ask me. I have no idea. I've never seen her around here before. She must be new." "I don't think so. She seems familiar to me." Hayley responded as the little girl who couldn't be more than seven years old continued to look into the eyes of the wolves and start crying. Hayley calmed her down and looked at her shoulder. "She's one of us. She's a Crescent Wolf. An abandoned one." Hayley realized as she took the necklace from the girl's neck. It read Lola. "Your name is Lola?" Hayley asked and Lola nodded, wiping her eyes with her dirty clothes. "Where are your parents? Are they around here?" Lola started crying once again and Hayley began to realize what had happened. "Jackson, that explosion must have killed her parents. It only makes sense." "That must be true." Jackson whispered as he closed upon the child and picked her up. "What are we supposed to do with her?" he asked Hayley. Hayley just shook her head and told him to put her down. "I will protect her. I will take her with me now when I get back to the Mikaelsons." "You actually want to take her back there?" "What's wrong with that?" "Hayley, in case you don't remember, Klaus does not really like…these kinds of children." "And you think I care? It's nearly nighttime. He promised he would come and look out for us and he hasn't. I really don't give a damn about what he thinks anymore. I am taking Lola with me and until I can decide anything else, she will be living with me there." "Klaus is not going to like it." Jackson mumbled but Hayley didn't care one bit, just like she believed Klaus didn't care to show up that day.
Klaus could hear voices inside the house. He could hear her. He could smell her as he entered. He had a bottle of scotch in his hands. He drank it all in one gulp and perked up his ears to listen in on what the little wolf was saying. He could not believe that she was here and not in the bayou with the rest of the werewolves, as he had hoped. He knew that she was not alone. He could smell another living presence and it was not his brother. It was neither Jackson nor Oliver nor Eve either. He growled to himself as he threw the bottle away and marched up the stairs. He usually hated it when he couldn't understand something and he was in an exceptionally bad mood tonight. He didn't need any more surprises which is why the little wolf was getting on his nerves and he wanted to end the suspicions that she could be with someone. He had had enough watching her parade herself around with Elijah as her bodyguard and her possible secret lover. He has had enough to see her whispering things around and laughing with Jackson in the bayou. After what he had seen between Marcel and Camille that night, he felt even more empty and alone. He knew that no one would have him, but he knew that he would have Hayley and the baby all to himself eventually and he would let no one touch them ever again, not even his brother. Especially not him. As he got closer to Hayley's room, he could hear her laugh a little bit as he heard a couple of sounds that only a child would make. He stopped dead in his tracks. A child? A werewolf child, he smelled. What was she thinking bringing one of them here? Yes, he had agreed to help the wolves but he didn't exactly invite them to share his mansion. Hayley was welcome to come anytime and she knew that, but her little guests were off limits, something she also knew from him and yet she had chosen to disobey him. He pushed the door open and entered the room without knocking, only to find the little wolf, in her blue nightgown, her hair brushed and glorious looking let to fall over her shoulders as her eyes glimmered in the light. She was tucking in a child under the sheets in the bed she was supposed to be sleeping in. The two had not yet noticed him as Hayley was too busy tucking the little girl in and the child looked happy and mesmerized by Hayley herself. Klaus stood there with his mouth slightly open.
"Hayley?" he asked, still surprised that she was there before him. Hayley gasped as she was shocked that he had been there, watching them. "Klaus." she whispered and once the little girl heard the name, she quivered with fear under the blankets. Hayley noticed this and tried to get her to feel better. "No, sweetheart. No. He's not going to hurt you. He is not, I promise you." "Don't make promises you can't keep, little wolf." Klaus growled and Lola started shivering again. Klaus felt no compassion towards this child and he will not show any. Hayley stood up after tucking Lola in again and crossed her hands over her chest. "What is wrong with you?" she asked as she walked passed him, opened the door and marched out. Klaus marched right after her and she closed the door gently, leaving Lola safely tucked inside. He was expecting Hayley to stand there and tell him what was happening or at least yell at him for disturbing the little girl and scaring her with his attitude but she did none of that. She did the worst thing possible. She ignored him. Hayley marched out of there and went towards the kitchen. She caressed her gigantic bump where their soon-to-be born child lay and started preparing something in the kitchen. "What are you doing?" he asked her. Hayley didn't answer and completely ignored his question as she started making some pancakes and Klaus got as mad as he could. He took a plate and smashed it into the wall. Hayley finally looked up from what she was doing but her face didn't show the anger that was shown on his. She was calm. "Do you want something?" "Don't pretend like you have no idea what is going on, little wolf? Who is that girl upstairs and what is she doing in my house?" "Our house for starters, Klaus. This house is as much mine as it is yours. You told me so yourself that I can come here for as long as I please and whenever I please. And I have a better question for you. What have you been doing all day?" she asked him. Klaus gaped at her. He had no idea what she meant. "It is my own business what I do with my free time." "Then it is none of your business what that child is doing upstairs in my bedroom." Hayley responded and finished the pancakes with a touch of syrup that was making her tummy rumble. "IT IS MY BUSINESS! IT'S MY DAMN HOUSE!" he ragged at her and she showed no sign that she was terrified by the tone of his voice. He was so close to her now that she could feel him inhale and exhale in anger. "Then what you do with your spare time is also my business when I have problems and the father of my child is wondering around doing God knows what. I will not have it, Klaus." He walked passed him but he grabbed her hand and refused to let go. "What have I done to get you so worked up, little wolf?" "I am going to ask you one more time. What have you been doing all day when I needed you to come to me and help me, help us?" She touched her belly with significance and Klaus' eyes softened. Of course! He had forgotten the promise he had made her over the phone that as soon as he was done helping Father Kieran, he would come to her aid and she would have his full attention. "Love, I…" He didn't even know what to say to her. He immediately remembered what had made him stay. Cami. He couldn't tell Hayley that. "I…I was just out…Father Kieran needed help, plenty of help and I couldn't come, love. I'm sorry for that but as you can see, you are pretty capable of taking care of yourself." He said with a sad tone attached that Hayley didn't miss as he walked passed her and into the living room. She felt him being upset and hurt for some reason. She wanted to find out why.
Hayley found him drowning his sorrows in alcohol in the living room like he always did. It was the dark and he was watching the fire in the fireplace. She came forward and sat down next to him, watching the fire burn the logs in the fireplace along with him. The room was warm and comfy and outside it was pretty dark already. "Where is Elijah? I thought that he would come back to this house along with you?" Klaus mumbled silently. Hayley sighed and gulped as she realized she was about to confess something. "Klaus, what I said on the phone…I lied. Elijah was not with me. I was by myself." "Why would you lie? Why would you lie to me, little wolf?" Klaus asked, his expression not changed. Hayley shook her head. "That is something you have to figure out for yourself. I won't always keep reminding you that you have a child you should be worrying about." Hayley whispered standing up but Klaus stood up just in time to take her hand in his and pull her closer. "I lied too, little wolf." She looked amazed at the sudden warmness in his voice even though he had been drinking for quite a while and his breath smelled of alcohol, yet to her, it was just as mesmerizing as it always were. "You lied about what?" "I did help Father Kieran the best I could. His curse was reaching a point where…he would turn into a monster, so I…I gave him my blood and turned him into a vampire. Once he was in transition, I was ready to go but…his niece, Cami, she wanted me to stay for a while longer so I accepted." Hayley looked very hurt yet shocked. "So, you forgot about our whole conversation, right? Because of that girl? I don't understand." Klaus sighed. "I knew you would be this difficult with me. She was alone and needed support. You told me that you were with Elijah. I figured you were fine since you are always asking for Elijah and whenever you need help, it is always Elijah or Elijah or Elijah!" he snapped and Hayley noticed the signs of jealousy in his voice. She knew perfectly well how guilty he felt at that point when she told him she was with Elijah. She did it to make him feel guilty, because she was mad. She was mad that she had been asking for his help one time and that one time, he chose someone else over her. Of course she couldn't say this to his face. "But you lied to me about that and I still can't understand why." Klaus whispered. "I told you that you have to figure it out for yourself." They looked at each other with longing stares and he sighed placing his fingers under her chin and forcing her to look at him. "Who is that little girl and what is she doing in my house, love?" Klaus asked calmly this time and Hayley took his fingers away from under her chin. "Our house." she corrected and then said, "Her parents were killed in that explosion, Klaus. Were you expecting me to just leave her there?" Klaus looked guilty once again once he heard about the little girl's tragedy. "You could have left her with Jackson!" He said getting his tough face back on as he showed no mercy to people he barely knew and that little girl was not going to change anything. "She only opened up to me. She keeps calling me Queen instead of Hayley." Klaus smirked when he heard that but Hayley could not force a smile. "I hate being called that." she whispered and then walked back upstairs with Klaus following closely behind with the plate of pancakes in his hand. "You forgot about this, love." he said and Hayley for the first time smiled, nodded and took it from him.
"Lola!" Hayley exclaimed as the two walked in the room. Klaus stood behind the little wolf with his hands behind his back, looking serious at the small girl, slowly opening her eyes after falling asleep in Hayley's comfy bed. "Hi. Sorry I woke you." Hayley whispered and set down the plate of pancakes on her legs as she sat up. "Late night snack just for you." the little wolf said and Klaus couldn't help but smile a little when he saw the little girl's eyes bright up. But as his eyes met the little girl's ones, things changed. She looked away, a little terrified of his still and Hayley noticed it. "Klaus, will you please leave for a while? I want her to eat in peace and rest. She has been through a lot. Please." Klaus hesitated before doing as he was told. He left the room and went back downstairs for a couple more drinks. "To you, Kieran." He whispered as he drank another whole bottle without even needing a glass. It didn't take long for Hayley to come back downstairs with her hands on her hips as she washed her hands and got ready for bed herself in the nearest bathroom. She got out and watched as Klaus drowned in his sorrows. She couldn't stand to see him like this anymore. She walked over and placed her hands on his back, trying to soothe him. "I didn't know much of Father Kieran but I know that he must have been a good man. Marcel told me that he along with Kieran managed to save me and get me out of New Orleans while I was just a baby, after…after my parents got killed." Klaus turned around and said, "I see…what else did Marcel tell you?" "Not much, but he convinced me that he was not behind that werewolf sabotage." "You believe him?" "Yes." Klaus sighed and nodded, drinking one more bottle of scotch but he didn't seem drunk one bit. "You are a wonderful person to admire, little wolf." he said soothingly as he watched her hands trace his back in comfort. "Will you let that little girl stay? Please?" Klaus looked at her calmly. "After neglecting you today, I guess I owe you that much." Hayley smiled and pulled him into a hug and whispered, "I'm so sorry about Father Kieran. He must have meant a lot to you; otherwise you wouldn't be mourning him this way." "He was a special person, one that required attention and admiration…same as you, little wolf." he whispered back. For Hayley, the moment was starting to get too awkward so she pulled back from their hug and looked down at her huge swollen stomach. "Any day now, little one." Klaus said and Hayley smiled. The baby kept kicking and it was making them both feel a bit uncomfortable in this moment. "She's happy." Hayley stated and Klaus chuckled. "Full of life and powerful, free-spirited much like her mother." Hayley watched him as he set down the bottle and sat back down on the couch, staring at the fire. Hayley played with her hands. "I know that you may need some time alone right now to…um…process everything but if you ever need someone to talk to, you know that you can always talk to me." she told him and he smiled. "I shall take that in consideration, love. Get some rest." He said and she made her way out of the living room and back upstairs. As she walked up, she stopped dead in her tracks. "Klaus! I have a small problem." she called out. "Use my bedroom!" he called back to her and she grinned as she hurried there and opened the door to reveal the humongous bed she loved so much. She has always wanted to feel it. The material was very expensive and the paintings in the room soothed her more than she realized. Lying down on the bed and smiling she closed the light, feeling warm and more secure than she could ever feel in her own bedroom. She felt the bedroom door creak open after a while and she knew that it was Klaus checking up on her. The door then closed gently and Hayley seemed upset that he didn't choose to stay. She was wondering where he would sleep; that night that is if he wanted to sleep at all. She was tired of seeing him suffer. He had been through enough and so had he. She knew that he would try to make things up to her and she would do the same thing for him after their little dispute. The most important thing was that they were on the same page, on the same team and they were helping each other. She may not ever admit it but she wanted him in her life and she always would. Hayley touched her stomach and gently felt the swollen part where her child lay. "Maybe there is some hope left for him after all." Hayley whispered, thinking of her baby daddy. Rebekah told her that there was hope, but it was up to her to get him on the right path of redemption.
