Guys this is my first ever fanfic for The Originals. I've only ever shipped one couple before and that was Dair on Gossip Girl and let's just not say more about that…and now Klaus Hayley are beginning to intrigue me, though there is definitely undeniable chemistry between Elijah and Hayley on the show. So this is a predominantly Klayley story, but I dig love triangles and complications, so there will be some Haylijah as well. You've been WARNED.

CHAPTER 1

Hayley wasn't the typical girl next door. Hell, she wasn't just a girl, she was a nomad were-wolf, with no family, no friends. Hayley had never really known a stable home ever since she was 14 after she had triggered her were-wolf gene, resulting in her being thrown out by her adoptive parents. She shifted from one sleepy town to another, in search of her real family, to find her pack. Yet, wherever she went, she felt stranded and isolated, and never really belonged anywhere. The last 7 years of her life, Hayley shuffled in between motels, crashing at her in-moments friend's couches or camping in with other werewolves or just sleeping in her car when it came to that.

So after seven years, Hayley finally had a place, which she could call home. Home was actually not just a humble house, but a 100-year-old beautiful mansion in New Orleans. Everything about it was regal and Hayley had never really known a place as magnificent. Hayley had a huge room to herself, overlooking the swimming pool that was located in the backyard of the enormous mansion. Yet, she was alone here as well, not really alone if you counted the little baby growing inside of her. The baby that was growing inside her, was probably the only family, Hayley would ever know, Hayley thought to herself.

It had been a few days that Hayley had moved in with the Original family, on the insistence of Elijah who had promised to protect her and the baby. She had never met a man who had been kind to her, no man had ever offered her protection and unconditional care ever before. Elijah had done that, the moment he realized Hayley was carrying his brother's legacy. He was the only one who had ever offered Hayley a semblance of a family and the security that came along with it, even when the man whose baby she was carrying, had simply shown no interest and had even suggested to kill her and the baby. Yet, now a few days later, Elijah had gone missing without a note, without a word. He had just disappeared like he never existed. Now, she was left all alone once again, sharing the sprawling mansion with the Big Bad Hybrid, Klaus. He hardly ever saw her, even though only both of them lived in the house now. Each time she had tried to ask him about Elijah, he would just give her abrupt answers like, how Elijah had some important business to attend to and other times he would just give her a snickering look and ignore her and walk away.

Hayley knew that Klaus had no interest in her, but Klaus did want their baby now, as he had told her that every king needs an heir. Hayley was back to being unwanted like she had been her whole life. To Klaus she was nothing but an incubator for his baby. She didn't know why, but she felt lonelier now, with Elijah gone, even though she had known the man only for a few days.

She spent all her time in her room or sitting by the pool in the backyard, soaking up the Sun and talking to her baby, who she hoped was hearing her. She had no one to talk to, but her baby, a baby that was conceived by an unfortunate drunken night. Hayley never wanted to be a mother, she never imagined or saw herself as a mother, and she was a lone wolf, whose only concern in her life was survival. She was a selfish person, only caring about her survival and needs and never hesitated in manipulating and using other people to get what she wants. She had used Tyler and the hybrids that she had helped Tyler free from their sire bond to Klaus back in Mystic Falls, so she could get information from Shane about her family. She hadn't blinked an eye in betraying her own kind. She was the kind of person, who wouldn't be fit to be a mother, but here she was, pregnant and on her way to motherhood.

In the beginning when the witches had informed her that she was pregnant and that too with Klaus's child, she hadn't believed them, but finally when the realization had sunk in, she was devastated. She was scared for the first time in her life, not just because she was going to be a mother, but more because of who her baby's father was. Klaus was a monster; he was the worst of the monsters there ever lived. A cruel, deceitful, torturous, a serial murderer, cold-hearted and power hungry monster. What would a child born out of a union like that be like.

Not just that a child born out of a drunken night, which meant nothing to either of them be. The child's conception was not an act of love, but an act of loneliness and liquor-fueled one nightstand. Everything, just about everything was wrong ,was wrong with this baby, as there could be. Despite that, Hayley now wanted nothing more than her baby to be born, she loved her unborn baby, like she had never loved before. She had no idea that she was capable of feeling the kind of love she already felt for her baby. This baby was the world for her now; she would give her life for it if she had to. She would fight the world, if need be, just as long her baby was safe. She remembered when Elijah had first met her; he had asked her about how she felt about being a mother. She didn't know how she felt back then, because there was so much more that she was scared about at that point of time, but now she knew. She had never been happier in her life, even if her baby was a result of a mistake, it was hers, and it was her family.

Hayley sat in the library that night, reading Elijah's old journals, reading about the family history of the Originals, trying to understand a little bit about their complicated long lives and their dysfunctional family. She was busy reading Elijah's words, written in a beautiful handwriting, just as regal as him.

Just then, Klaus, who was standing at the doorway of the library, with a bottle of scotch in his hand, clearly very drunk, interrupted her.

With his signature sarcastic smirk, he addressed her, "Little Wolf, going through my brother's journals, are we now. You must really miss him?"

Hayley looked up to where he was standing and chose to ignore his question and closed the journal she was reading and got up from the chair she was sitting on and headed out to exit, to get away from him, and go back to her own room.

Before she could get past him at the doorway, he pulled her back by the elbow and brought her face to face with him, while still holding her by the elbow.

He said in a rather low voice, "Not so fast, love, you didn't answer my question now. Did you?"

Hayley tried to free herself from his grip, but to no avail, his grip around her elbow was so tight, she couldn't move him even a little. This was the first time; Klaus had been this near to her after the night they had created their baby. She felt uncomfortable, distraught and feverish all at the same time. His touch sent sensations and shivers down her body that both scared and excited her.

She looked up to his blue eyes, filled with mischief and scorn, and said, "I miss him, as he was the only one who's ever been kind to me in my whole life."

She didn't know why she was honest with him, but she was. The moment she said those words, Klaus let go of the firm grip on her elbow and took a step back from her and looked up at her again and said, "Ahh, Yes my kind and generous brother, who inspires admiration in people who don't even know him at all."

Hayley realized this was probably her time to leave, but something stopped her. For a faint second, she thought she saw hurt in Klaus's eyes. However, it was gone before she could even properly register it.

He spoke once again and said, "Then you'll be happy to know Hayley, that he will be with us again very soon and so will my little sister, Rebekah, who probably hates me more than any one of this planet right now, and together all of you can rejoice in loathing me."

Hayley didn't know why she did what she did next, she held Klaus's right hand and brought it to her still not showing belly and placed it there and looked into his big beautiful watery blue eyes and said, " This baby will never loathe you."

Klaus was shaken by Hayley's action and he just stared at her stomach with a stunned expression, and he could her baby's heartbeat and he was fascinated by every little heartbeat of his miracle baby. Klaus's hands remained fixed on her belly with her hand covering his for a long time, before either of them realized the intimacy of the situation.

Just as soon as Hayley realized what had transpired right there, she moved her hand away, and shifted backwards, realizing which Klaus also stepped back and broke the moment that the parents to be shared between them.

There was an uncomfortable silence between them, because for the first time, both of them realized no matter how much they each ignored the other's presence, this baby connected them in a way neither of them could deny.

Breaking the silence Hayley said, "I'm going to bed, I'm really tired, and the baby and I both need rest."

Klaus looked at her and said, "You should. You need the rest and so does our baby."

This was the first time Klaus had mentioned the baby as being theirs, before this it had always been her baby or his.

Hayley smiled at him, but before she left, he spoke once again and said, "Thank you."

The way he said thank you was the most genuine and truthful words she had ever heard from his mouth. Something in her, made her believe that Klaus wouldn't be that horrible of a father after all.

Hayley just smiled at him once again and whispered "Good night", before exiting the room.

Klaus stood there smiling to himself, and said, "Goodnight, Little Wolf".
