The Storm
Tonight there was a huge thunder and lightening storm in New Orleans. Three year old Hope was very scared of storms. She tossed and turned all night. She kept whimpering. Finally she got so scared that she put on her bunny slippers and grabbed her teddy bear and her favorite blanket and dragged them with her through the compound to her parents room. Once she reached her parents door, she reached up on her tippy toes and turned the door knob. She slowly walked into their room. Suddenly there was another bolt of lightening and thunder. She whimpered and a tear fell down her cheek.
She walked to her parents bed where they were sleeping and threw her blanket and bear on it. Then, she grabbed onto the comforter and tried to pull herself onto the bed, but it was extremely hard considering she was short and she couldn't reach.
Klaus felt something pulling the blanket off of him. He though it was just Hayley because she was cold, but then he heard a small innocent whimper. He slowly opened his eyes and sat up a little to see his daughter trying to get onto the bed and she was crying.
"Hey, what's wrong, love?" He asked her trying not to wake up Hayley who was lying down right next to him.
"I'm scared, daddy. The storm." She said trying to be quiet also. Klaus picked her up and set her down between him and Hayley.
"Mr. Fluffy!" Hope stated sounding worried. Klaus knew she was talking about her teddy bear that she never went anywhere without. He saw it at the end of the bed along with her small blanket. He grabbed the two items and handed them to Hope. He pulled the blankets over her small body and tucked them around her. Then, he laid her blanket over her and she held her bear in her arms. Another bolt of lightening shook the house and Hope shrieked in fear. It reminded Klaus of when he was little and Rebekah was scared of storms too. He hugged Hope and snuggled her in his arms.
"It's ok little one, it's just a storm, I won't let anything hurt you." Klaus said softly trying to comfort the toddler in his arms.
"I love you daddy." Klaus never imagined being a dad, but Hayley gave him Hope, and now these little moments make his heart swell more than he thought possible. These two ladies were his humanity.
"I love you too my littlest wolf." Hope held onto Klaus tightly and he held onto her. Hayley stirred and woke up hearing all the voices along with the storm. She turned and noticed that Hope was in bed with them. She smiled seeing Klaus and Hope having a moment. She got closer and hugged Hope too. Soon all three of them fell asleep, like a true family.
A/N: Thanks for reading. I have a list of a bunch of drabbles I want to do but I also would be grateful if you gave me some ideas so please tell me and I will be happy to write it. They don't have to be just Hope-Klaus-Hayley, if you want the others to be in it or if you want ones with only the other characters let me know.
