After Hayley gave birth to Hope, things in New Orleans went chaotic! There was fighting everywhere you went and blood being spilled at every turn. Things were getting out of hand and Klaus wanted to keep his daughter safe, but he was running out of options. Too many people knew of the Mikaelsons and they had too many enemies, so putting Hope in the care of one of his siblings wasn't an option. He didn't know who he could trust to keep his daughter safe and out of harm's way. He knew he had to think fast and then it him. He knew what he had to do.
"NO!" Hayley shouted. "We can keep her safe here! We don't need to send her to an ORPHANAGE KLAUS! With Hope being protected by two hybrids and three Originals, no one will even get near her!" Hayley tried to reason with klaus, but klaus wasn't having it. Even if Hope is protected by two hybrids and three Originals, there is still a chance that she could get hurt and Klaus wasn't taking any chances.
"Hayley I know you don't want to do this, but we have no other choice. Trust me, I don't want to give her up anymore than you do, but we have to this for Hope's safety. We will see her again one day, I promise." Klaus knew how Hayley felt because he too was Hope's parent and he didn't want to give her up either, but it had to be done. Hayley had tears in her eyes that she refused to let fall because she knew that she had to do this for her daughter and she knew that she had to stay strong.
"How can you be so sure?" Hayley questioned. "How can you be so sure that we will see her again? We don't know if someone will adopt her from the orphanage! And if someone does adopt her, we won't know where to find her! Klaus, I don't know if I can-"
"If I may offer an idea." Elijah interrupted seeing as the two wouldn't come to an agreement anytime soon. "If you are going to give Hope up to an orphanage, why don't you compel someone to keep Hope there until you come back for her. This way, no one will be able to adopt her and you two will surely get to see her again." Elijah stood there and watched as Klaus and Hayley looked at each other for a moment. Hayley then let out a heavy sigh and nodded.
"Okay. But as soon as things get better here, we are going to go and get her." Klaus couldn't agree more to Elijah's brilliant idea.
"Fantastic," Klaus said with a smirk playing across his lips. "So shall we go now?" Hayley glared at him, but then she smiled a little.
"I guess. It'll be best for her safety if we get her to the orphanage as soon as possible. I don't want to take any chances." Hayley and Klaus proceeded to the SUV to drop Hope off at her temporary home.
"Wait, where are we going?" Hayley asked confused by how long it was taking for them to get to the orphanage. About ten minutes after they started driving, Hayley fell asleep with Hope lying in her arms. When Hayley fell asleep, it was around 1:00 pm and now it was 8:30.
"We are going to Disney World!" Klaus said sarcastically. Hayley glared at Klaus and did a fake laugh.
"Haha, very funny. I meant where as in location, not place. I thought we were going to go to an orphanage at least one city over. Not two state over!" Hayley wanted her daughter to at least be nearby but they were going to drop her off in a completely different state!
"Do you really think that I would even consider keeping her in New Orleans? People would easily be able to find her if we kept her in the same state as us. There are too many risks keeping her in Louisiana and we can't take any risks with our daughter, Hayley. It's too dangerous. We will see her again though. I promise you that." Hayley just nodded and looked down at Hope. She was sleeping peacefully in her arms and Hayley let a tear roll down her cheek. Hope was beautiful even when she was sleeping. She couldn't bear the thought of leaving her daughter for even a second, but she had to do this for Hope. If her daughter were to die, Hayley would loose a big part of her and she can't handle that much pain. She can't handle the thought of loosing her daughter forever.
Hayley is pulled from her thoughts when Klaus pulls into a parking lot. It is now 8:45 as they pull into the parking lot of Sweetheart Orphanage in Atlanta, Georgia. Hayley and Klaus walk briskly to the front door and knock. A tall woman with ice blue eyes, jet black hair, and pale skin opens the door. The woman smiles at them warmly before gesturing them to come inside. When they get inside, the lights are all turned off, so all the children must be in the bed already.
"Hello." The woman says nicely. "My name is Sammantha. What can I do for you?" Hayley looks at Klaus and he nods at is is. The last few moments she will have with her baby for who knows how long.
"We would like to put our baby girl into the orphanage, please." Hayley says and then smiles sweetly at The woman. Sammantha smiles at Hayley, Klaus, and then Hope. She couldn't understand why anyone would ever want to give up such a precious little girl.
"Alrighty then! We can just go to the back and get you two to fill out some paperwork right quick." The woman said as she started walking towards the back, when suddenly, someone grabbed her arm lightly.
Klaus looked directly into Sammantha's eyes and his pupils dilated. "We don't have to fill out any paperwork. No one will know that Hayley and I were here and no one will know that Hope is here. You will not let anyone adopt her. We will come back to get Hope soon." With that, Hayley and Klaus gave Hope one last kiss on her forehead before walking back to the SUV.
The ride home was quiet. All Hayley could think about was her daughter and if she would be safe there. Hayley thought about how long it would be until she would get to see Hope again. She wondered about how Hope would look, how she would act and how she would talk. Hayley couldn't wait to see Hope again.
