Warning: lots of fluff ahead lol
Klaus sat on the bed with a shocked expression on his face. He was surprised to hear that Hayley was pregnant again but at the same time he wasn't. He knew something was off with her lately but pregnancy didn't cross his mind. "Pregnant? Well that certainly explains a lot of things." He said sitting up in the bed.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Oh come on Hayley, your bitchy attitude has amplified by almost 100, you sleep all day and when you're awake you're tired. Your patience with our daughters has been incredibly short lately, you've been unwell quite often and you also appear to be a little more robust up top. I'm surprised pregnancy did not cross my mind before now actually. It's been painfully obvious for the past two weeks."
Hayley rolled her eyes. Had she really been that bad for the last couple of weeks? She thought to herself. She was starting to question why she never noticed it before either, especially since it's not like this is her first rodeo. She gave herself some slack since the first time she got pregnant she had no idea until the witches told her and the second time she just knew not long after it happened.
"Well it didn't dawn on me until yesterday. I kept feeling like something was wrong. I usually never get like this, the fatigue, the sickness, then I remembered that the last time I felt like this I was pregnant with Diana. So I bought a test and sure enough it's positive"
"So we are having another baby…" Klaus asked closing his book and looking up at the ceiling trying to wrap his head around the idea of having a third child. The corners of his mouth then curled up as he recalled how much joy his two daughters had brought to his life. He was sure this baby would only add even more than he already had.
Hayley watched Klaus curiously as he looked at her and started to smile. She was unsure of how she felt about adding another baby to her already hectic life, but she was really unsure about how Klaus would feel so seeing him start to smile made her feel a little better about it. It was an improvement over his prior two reactions that's for sure. She stood back and listened to him continue talking.
"I must say I thought we were done having children. Five years without any more, I assumed we were unable to, it's not like we've ever taken any precautions against it, but I think I quite like the thought of adding another Mikaelson for all the world to fear." He said smirking.
"Of course you want this baby to boost your already inflated ego, nice Klaus." Hayley said as she walked over to the bed and sat down. "Do you really think we can handle another baby? Our lives are already a mess, I mean our daughter just used magic today, the last thing we need is to add another person we're gonna have to explain our very dangerous and complicated life to."
"I wasn't sure we could handle one baby, now look at us, we have pleasantly surprised ourselves up until this point, who's to say we won't keep doing that."
"Yeah but this is different Klaus, we have a lot going on. We already have two children and they are hell bent on driving me nuts every day, not to mention we have both our families that we take care of."
"Are you saying you don't want to have this child Hayley?" Klaus asked staring her in the eyes, he couldn't fathom the thought of getting rid of it. Hayley could see the confusion and almost hurt behind Klaus's eyes, she needed to clarify what she meant.
"No that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that I'm just a little weary about having another baby. We're starting all over again and that makes me nervous. I'm not even thirty yet and I'm about to be a mother of three. Eight years ago it was just me and I couldn't even think of having three kids and a husband. It's a lot to take in Klaus, I mean really what the hell are we going to do with three kids." She said easing her way down on the bed. She curled up next to Klaus who finally put his book on the nightstand and draped his arm around her. "Not to mention that's another person that our enemies can use against us, another infant we have to protect, another toddler we're gonna have to keep a close eye on. Being so afraid for our children all the time is exhausting and now we're gonna have another delicate person to stress out about. I just don't know if I can really do this all over again."
Klaus hugged Hayley close as she told him how she felt. Their relationship had its fair share of problems but one thing they got right was transparency. Neither one of them hesitated to express how they felt about something even if the other wouldn't understand or might not like it. Hayley was being honest about how she felt about this baby and he had no choice but to listen to her even if he didn't agree. He ran his fingertips up and down her arm before finally talking. "I completely understand how you might feel Hayley, you know children and a family, a real family, were things that I did not think were possible for someone like me. It took me quite a bit of time but I truly love this life we have created with each other. I know that the idea of a third child is kind of unsettling, especially since that is another vulnerability for our enemies to exploit, and I am weary of that as well but I happen to think we can handle it all, we can handle anything together." He said smiling down at her. "Plus you know I would never let any harm come this family, no matter how big it gets"
"You really think so?" She asked curling into hm.
"Yes love I do, we've successfully raised two beautiful daughters, why wouldn't we be able to do it again?"
"I wouldn't say we've been successful Klaus, our oldest daughter just broke someone's arm and our youngest pretty much does the opposite of anything you tell her."
"Well, as successful as two incredibly screwed up supernaturals with basically no proper parental example can be. You should consider cutting yourself a bit of slack Hayley, you are an excellent mother and I happen to believe I'm not extremely terrible as a father, in fact I think our children might fancy me more than they fancy you."
That made Hayley let out a light laugh. Maybe she didn't give herself enough credit. She had gone from stray wolf to mom in a matter of months, and then she became a wife and co leader of a large werewolf clan and the entire supernatural community of New Orleans. She didn't have anything close to a fairytale life but everything wasn't falling apart, her daughters were safe for the most part, and she actually had a pretty stable life, more stable than she thought she would ever have. Maybe she was over reacting and freaking out for no reason she thought. Maybe she could handle adding another child to her life, after all she did have Klaus and like he said they could do anything together, they'd already defied the odds together they could continue to do that if they tried.
She raised her cheek from where it was resting on Klaus's bare chest and looked up at him, resting her chin on her hand. He smiled and gently rubbed her back waiting for her to say what was on her mind. When she looked into his piercing blue eyes she thought about how much she loved him and their family and how much she would love this newest addition that she was carrying. Her thoughts and his face made her lips curl up into a smile.
"So we're really gonna do this, we're really gonna have another baby?" she questioned with a smile.
"According to that little test over there we are, you have the final word though so you tell me sweetheart…are we having another child?"
She hesitated for a moment, which made Klaus slightly nervous but then he saw the biggest smile come across her face.
"Yeah, we're having another baby."
Klaus pulled her close to him and brushed his lips lightly against hers. "Excellent" he whispered with a smile while he caressed her face and lifted her chin up. "I love you." He whispered against her lips.
"I love you too." Hayley whispered in return before finally letting her lips meet his for a kiss. He kissed her gently at first but that soon changed as he got her more and more in his gripes. He deepened the kisses and gently laid Hayley down on the bed, running his hand up her nightgown and across her bare stomach then down to her parted thighs. When Hayley felt his cold palms she put her hand on his to stop his movements.
"Oh no Klaus, none of that tonight." She said still kissing him. He moved his hand from under hers and tried to continue.
"Why not? You look absolutely ravishing tonight, not to mention I can't keep my eyes off of these." He said looking down at her slightly exposed fuller breasts. He dragged his hand up to them and cupped them with his palms. "How on earth do you expect me to keep my hands off of you when you look like this." He said leaning down to kiss her again.
"Well you're gonna have to try because It's been a long day and I'm exhausted."
Klaus lowered his head and let go of her breasts before plopping down on the bed. Hayley laughed at his disappointment.
"Besides that's how we got into this mess anyway, you know one of these days you're gonna have to stop accidentally getting me pregnant Klaus"
"I take full credit for Hope but if I remember correctly Diana was all your doing." He quickly responded as he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close.
"Okay sure but this one is all you since I'm pretty sure it happened that day you came back home after being gone for 3 days hunting down that vampire that threatened the girls. You were like a horny teenage boy, you practically pounced on me as soon as you walked through the door."
"Ahhh I remember that day, we didn't even make it to the bedroom." He said laughing.
"No we didn't, we didn't even make it up the stairs, good thing the kids weren't home."
"What can I say, I missed my wife, and as I said before, I can never keep manage to keep my hands off of you. At least we can tell all of our children they were conceived in odd places, a table…a not exactly empty field…a staircase, makes for an excellent story don't you agree."
Hayley couldn't help but laugh, behind every one of their children was quite the story.
"Yeah we'll tell them that one day when we want to screw them up even more than they probably already are."
"I'll have you know our daughters are far from screwed up, our son will be as well."
"Son? Don't you think it's a little early for that, for all we know it could be another girl." Hayley teased.
"That is out of the question love, my sanity could not bare another daughter. Three daughters and you, not to mention Rebekah, why I might as well stake myself right now." He joked.
Hayley found herself laughing again, Klaus could be so dramatic, though if she was honest with herself she hoped for a boy as well. The first time she was terrified of having a mini Klaus, now that's what she wanted most.
"Goodnight Klaus, and I hope that you don't have to stake yourself in a few months, the girls and I wouldn't be able to live without you."
"And you'll never have too." He whispered into her ear before placing a kiss on her cheek and bidding her goodnight.
Klaus lay in bed asleep early the next morning when his ears picked up a door opening and two people, two children to be more specific, whispering.
"Diana remember, we have to be really quiet okay, we can't wake them up with loud noise or we're going to be in trouble." He heard Hope whisper as she started to crack open the door.
"I'm not gonna be loud Hope I promise" Diana basically shouted.
"You're being loud right now! Just be quiet until I wake them up okay. No talking."
Diana nodded her heard in compliance and the two girls tip toed into their parent's room. Klaus could hear their little feet inch closer and closer to his bed. Hayley lay besides him motionless, clearly she was sound asleep and he was sure she wanted to stay that way so he decided to get to the bottom of their interruption.
"Hope and Diana Mikaelson" He started with his eyes still closed. The sound of this voice made both girls stop dead in their tracks.
"Care you to explain how you've both managed to wander over here at this time of the morning." He asked. Hope was about to try to quietly explain when Diana interrupted her by running to her father and jumping on the bed. "Daddy you're awake!"
Klaus quickly turned around and scooped her into his arms. He placed a finger over his lips as he cuddled her. "Shhh love, your mother is sleeping we wouldn't want to wake her now would we."
"Too late" Hayley groggily whispered.
"Good morning mommy." Diana squealed.
"Good morning sweetheart" Hayley let out in between yawns. She pulled herself up from the bed and leaned against the headboard. She looked over at Hope who was standing in the middle of the room playing with her thumbs nervously. Hayley could tell something was bothering her.
"Hope I know you didn't come here to stand over there and play with your fingers. Come here." Hayley said as she moved over and lifted her covers. Diana had already gotten comfortable in the middle of her and Klaus.
Hope slowly walked over to her parent's bed and climbed in next to Hayley. Hayley wrapped her arms around her and brushed her messy hair out of her face.
"Everything okay sweetheart?" Klaus asked.
"Yeah what's going on Hope?" Hayley followed up.
"I couldn't sleep last night, I want to know about what I am, you said you would tell me today."
Klaus and Hayley exchanged glances, they should have known that Hope would be anxious to know about her family and what she is even of they really didn't want to tell her. They didn't really have a chance to talk about what exactly they would tell her since they were both pretty distracted by the news of a new baby but no matter how unprepared they were they both knew that the wouldn't be able to put if off for long. They promised her they would tell her today and they would have to keep that promise.
"Hope, sweetheart your mother and I have every intention of explaining things to you and your sister later today, do not fret, we will keep our promise to you." Klaus finally responded.
"We understand that you might be anxious but we'll get to it okay, you don't have to worry that we won't actually tell you." Hayley chimed it.
"Okay, thanks mom, thanks dad." Hope replied curling up next to her mother. Hayley gently kissed her on her forehead before leaning back to get confortable in her bed again. After a few minutes Hope and Diana were sound asleep in their parent's bed.
Hayley looked over at Klaus, who was also still wide awake and nodded her head in the direction of the door. Klaus got her message and gently moved Diana, who was draped halfway across his chest, onto the bed. Then he got out of bed and made his way to the hallway with Hayley hot on his heels. Hayley gently closed the door before pointing to one of the empty rooms up the hall. She and Klaus quickly made there way to the empty room and shut the door so they could have some privacy. Once she knew they weren't going to be overheard Hayley sighed and nervously bit her lip.
"We need to figure out what exactly we're gonna tell Hope and Diana. We have to tell her today like we said she would never forgive us if we didn't." Hayley finally let out.
"I thought we already discussed this Hayley, we are going to tell out daughters the truth about their family and who they are. What else is there to figure out."
"Oh I don't know Klaus, how about what are we supposed to say when Diana asks what vampires do, or how about how we're supposed to explain what the hell an original is and how you and I are different from their aunt Rebekah and their uncle Elijah, I mean should we include them in this talk because the girls will have some questions about them, not to mention how are we going to keep them from telling other people once they know, you know Diana will go blab to all her classmates that she can do magic as soon as she's back at school."
Klaus watched Hayley nervously pace as she threw concerns at him faster than the speed of light. She was clearly on edge with good reason but he had a feeling Hayley's nervousness was due to more than just worrying about telling their daughter's the truth about themselves.
"First Hayley, you need to relax stress is not good for our child remember. Second, we can have Elijah and Rebekah present when we tell the children the truth. This is something that needs to be discussed with our entire family. I have a suggestion about how we handle your other concern but I have a feeling you won't like it considering you hated it when I suggested it the first time, though given recent developments I believe I will have an easy time convincing you to reconsider your position on the matter."
"Compulsion, really, I said we we're going to do that to our daughters. It's not right to mess with them like that."
"I know it isn't but it's really our only option here. As you said before Diana will tell all of New Orleans that her family is full of immortal vampires and that she an do magic and considering how rebellious she can be just telling her not to won't be enough. Hope may take heed to us telling her not to tell but them again she also told Diana about vampires after we told her not to. To be quite honest Hayley our daughters are not very trustworthy, though that should come as no surprise given their lineage."
Hayley knew he was right, there was no way to prevent them from telling without compulsion and things were too dangerous to risk them accidentally telling the wrong person about who they are.
"Fine, we can compel them, but I still don't like it and I'm not doing it you are."
"Well that's settled, so now why don't you tell me what really has you on edge."
"What are you talking about?"
"Come on Hayley, there's more to your nerves being in absolute ruin than just telling our children the truth, It's the baby isn't it."
Hayley leaned back on the table and lowered her head. It was about the baby; of course Klaus could read her like a book.
"Are we supposed to tell them now? I don't think they would take the news well. Hope was really young when we told her about Diana, I'm pretty sure she had no idea what was really happening, but they are both at an age where they know exactly what's going on and what it means and I'm not sure how they will take it. We also have to tell Rebekah and Elijah who, though they love their nieces, aren't exactly thrilled about how chaotic things are around here, they might not be too happy to hear about this baby either."
"Who cares if Rebekah and Elijah are happy, we are and that's all that matters. If they have a problem with how I chose to live my life and expand my family they are free to leave." He said walking up to Hayley. He put his palms on the outside of her arms and gently rubbed up and down. "Our daughters may need time to adjust but I'm sure they will eventually. Do not worry yourself over these matters. Everything will be fine Hayley I assure you."
Hayley peered up at Klaus's comforting eyes and smiled. She felt her anxiety start to disappear. "You're right. I'm just being a paranoid mess this baby is doing a number on me already." Hayley sighed, allowing her forehead to rest on Klaus's chest. "This is what we're gonna do, we're just gonna lay everything out there. We'll tell the girls the truth along with Rebekah and Elijah, then you and I are going to just tell everyone about the baby right after. Let's just get it all over with so I can stop worrying about it."
"I couldn't have come up with a better plan myself love." Klaus smiled.
Everyone had gathered in the main room of the compound. Rebekah and Elijah were filled in on Hayley and Klaus's plan to tell their children the truth. They were both supportive and Elijah actually looked forward to telling his nieces their family history. Hope sat curled up next to Rebekah while Diana sat in her uncle's lap. They all anxiously looked at Klaus and Hayley, who were standing in the middle of the room, waiting for them to begin.
Hayley had enough of the tension and finally decided to just start talking.
"Okay first, Diana sweetie, mommy lied a few weeks ago, when I said that vampire's weren't real I wasn't telling the truth to you and I'm sorry."
"Daddy said we're not posed to lie mommy!" Diana yelled, disappointed in her mom.
"I know, but it was for a good reason, there are things you don't understand and I just wanted to protect you."
"Anything your mother and I have ever kept from you both has been to protect you. There are things about this family that will be hard to understand and you won't for a long time but it's time you know the truth." Klaus interjected. "Elijah you can begin."
"Many years ago our family lived as peaceful humans. We were a large family, there was our mother Esther, our father Mikael, your father, your uncles Finn and Kol, Rebekah, and myself. You also had another uncle his name was Henrick. There was a great that tragedy happened and Henrick died, leaving our family very upset. Your grandmother Esther was heartbroken over the loss of her youngest son and wanted to protect all of her remaining children. She had the ability to do magic and she used it to make the world's first vampires."
"So what are vampires?" Hope asked. All she knew was that they weren't regular humans and that they had special abilities.
"Vampires sweetheart are supernatural people. They were once humans but were turned by another vampire. Every vampire walking this earth came from us" Klaus added. "Our family, as in myself and your aunt and uncles, are the original family, the original family of vampires, which makes us unlike any other human or vampire walking this planet."
"I want to be a vampire!" Diana blurted out which caused everyone in the room to laugh.
"Diana sweetie no, no you don't want to be a vampire, you'll understand why that's so when you're older but just know you're special all on your own okay." Hayley tenderly said to her very eager child.
"So what about mom? And aren't you different from Aunt Bexs and Uncle Elijah dad? You told me you and mom were something called hybrids, you are a werewolf and a vampire right but how?"
Klaus absorbed the question and apprehensively started to tell the most painful part of his history to his daughters. Hayley could sense that Klaus was not happy about what he was about to say but she knew he would get through the difficult part of the conversation.
"That is correct love. I am different from your aunt and your uncle. I was born a werewolf, just as your mother was. I do not share the same father as my siblings." Klaus started.
"Really? So you're not really my whole aunt?" Hope asked looking at Rebekah worriedly.
"Of course I am Hope, despite our different fathers I love your father just the same. Even if he is a pain in the arse he's my brother in every way and you're my niece in every way, nothing can ever change that." Rebekah replied. Hope seemed to be satisfied with that answer so her worry disappeared for the time being.
"As I was saying, I was born a werewolf so when my mother made me into a vampire I became the first of my kind, something called a hybrid, which is even more powerful and more rare than a vampire. In fact there are only two in the whole world, the other being your mother." Klaus said motioning his hands towards Hayley.
"Daddy what's a werewolf? Can I be a werewolf?" Diana asked. This time it was Hayley's turn to tell the story.
"A werewolf Is a human with a special connection with the moon, this connection gives us abilities that regular humans don't have. It is also really painful so it's not something that most people want to be. To be a werewolf it has to be passed on. My parents were werewolves. They were part of a very powerful pack of werewolves that go back to the very beginning of werewolves. I never got to know them but they were special and because of them so are you both. Your father's dad was also a werewolf, which is how he's a hybrid and not a regular vampire like your aunt bexs and uncle Elijah. Diana you are already a werewolf because of your dad and I, only you can't use your abilities yet."
"Really! yayyy I get to be a werewolf!" Diana squealed. Hayley smiled at her excited child thinking how she probably won't be that happy about it later in life when she unfortunately triggers her curse and endures the pain of transforming on a full moon."
"Wait, I'm confused mom. You and dad were born as werewolves but you're both hybrids so how can you be both?"
"The answer is simple Hope, we were both turned into vampires. I was turned by my mother, and your mother was turned by you."
"What?" Hope asked as she abruptly sat up and looked at her parents in shock. Hayley and Klaus exchanged glances and sighed as they were forced to tell Hope the story of how she was born.
"You see Hope, you're very special." Hayley started. "You and your sister are special. You are unlike any other children in this world, in fact you guys aren't even supposed to be here but you are and because of that people wanted to hurt you and hurt me. On the day you were born I was kidnapped, your dad came to rescue me but he was weak and your uncle Elijah was weak as well and had no idea where we were. Right after I had you I was killed, but you saved me. You see because of your father you and your sister have special blood, blood that can turn werewolves into hybrids, when I was killed I still had your blood so I was turned, and now I'm a hybrid just like your dad, because of you I'm still alive." Hayley said with tears in her eyes. Diana looked on completely confused and Hope was on the verge of tears.
"But I don't understand, why would people want to hurt us and why would someone do that to you?" Hope asked between tears. Hayley walked over to her and picked her up from off of Elijah's lap, she held her close and hugged her to comfort her.
"Don't be sad sweetheart, that's all over now and none of it was your fault. They wanted to hurt me because when your dad and I made you we made something really special and unique. People were afraid of what you could do and they wanted to hurt your father so they tried to hurt us. They took you from us but with the help of your uncle and Marcel we got you back and no one has ever been able to hurt us since then."
"And they never will." Klaus added. "Hope that day was the happiest and the most terrifying day of my life, I thought I had lost your mother and you but thanks to you I got her back and we got you back."
Hope let go of her mother and hugged her dad tightly. Klaus placed a gentle kiss on the top of her head and help her close.
"Now there is one more thing we need to explain to you, another very important thing." Hope removed her head from her father's abdomen and looked up at him waiting to hear what he had to say.
"Your classmate wasn't wrong when she said that Mikaelson's could do magic."
"So you can do magic! I knew it. Is that what you did to my principal at school? Is that how I hurt zoey?"
"I can't do magic, in fact none if us can, but because my mother was what we call a witch you and your sister can. I used another ability of mines on your principal, one you'll learn eventually, but you did in fact use magic on Zoey accidentally of course."
"I can do magic too! I want to do it daddy please can I do magic right now!" Diana squealed in excitement again.
"You will eventually Diana, just not right this second." Hayley replied, which caused Diana to pout in disappointment. Elijah let out a light laugh at the child's dramatics, she reminded him so much of Klaus sometimes.
"So am I evil like Zoey said I am, I don't want to be evil, I don't want to hurt people." Hope cried.
Hayley's heart broke as she heard her daughter regret being who she is. It reminded her of how she felt when she triggered her curse by accidentally hurting someone. She hated that Hope felt the same way she and Klaus have felt so often in their lives, but she found comfort knowing that they would be there for Hope and protect her which is more than either of their parents ever did for them. They may have been monsters but their children didn't have to be, in fact they were hell bent on making sure they weren't.
"No Hope, you aren't evil at all." She replied.
"People with the same abilities as you have done some terrible things but that doesn't mean you have to. You only hurt that little girl trying to protect yourself and you had no idea what you were doing. You will hear a lot of things about myself and this family, some of it is unfortunately true but you are different, you are something none of us can ever understand and you have something that neither me nor your father had, a real family to help you and protect you. You can be whatever you want to be and if you don't want to be evil and hurt people you don't have to be." Hayley finished, gently rubbing her head to comfort her.
Klaus looked down and Hope and then to Diana, who had become sad just by seeing her older sister sad. "Diana sweetheart come here."
The child obeyed and left her uncle's lap to meet her father and mother. Klaus gently pulled Hope away from him and bent down to their eye level. He placed a hand on each of their outer shoulders.
"I want you both to know that you are very special to us and unique, you are miracles and your mother and I are very fortunate to have you both. I know this is overwhelming for you both but I promise you over time you will understand all of this better. In the meantime just know that you are good children, you may be different but that doesn't make you bad or evil, only you decide what you will be and how you will use your abilities and your mother and I will be here to guide you through this very confusing and at times dangerous world that we live in."
He pulled them both to them and gently kissed them on the forehead. Hayley walked behind them and placed gentle kisses on top of their heads before wrapping them up in her arms.
"We love you both so much. Always remember that okay." She said voice cracking and with tears in her eyes.
"I love you mommy and you too daddy." Diana replied.
"I love you too mom and dad." Hope added.
Rebekah and Elijah looked on with smiles on their face. It gave them so much joy to see Klaus so supportive and loving towards his children. It also made them happy to see Klaus get the unconditional love and family that they knew he's always longed for. They also couldn't help feeling just a little left out of the beautiful family moment.
"Hey can auntie bexs get some love as well? After all I am the one you two will be able come to when your father is being an insufferable fool and refusing to let you practice your magic. Mother used to teach me things as a girl, I'm here to help as well." Rebekah joked.
"And who else but your charming Uncle Elijah to teach you all about vampires and your family history, this family means everything to me and I also love you both immensely."
Diana walked over to her uncle and gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek." Love you uncle 'lijah and you too auntie bex!" She yelled.
"Yeah you guys are the best!" Hope chimed in.
Klaus and Hayley watched from a distance and smiled. Revealing the truth to their children wasn't causing their whole world to shatter like Hayley feared. It turns out Klaus was right, they were capable of handling more than they often gave them credit for.
Klaus pulled Hayley close and smiled at her. "I guess this is a good moment to tell everyone the news love don't you think."
Hayley looked back at him with a smile of her own. "Sure why not."
"What news?" Rebekah asked.
"Well…Klaus and I are happy to know how much you love and care about our children, it means a lot to us and we hope you guys have a little more love to give to a new addition as well."
Elijah got wide eyed and Rebekah gasped in shock while Hope and Diana looked on in confusion.
"Bloody hell! Hayley are you saying what I think you're saying?" Rebekah anxiously asked.
"Yes Rebekah, we're having another baby." Hayley said with a wide smile and a spark of happiness that wasn't there when she first found out behind her eyes.
"A baby!" Diana shrieked.
"Yes Diana a baby, you're going to be a big sister like Hope." Klaus responded.
"Yayy!" The child yelled.
"I knew something was off with you lately, I just never guessed that was what was going on. You would think this news wouldn't be so shocking since this is the third one but it still is. I'm really happy though I hope this time I get a nephew, I don't think Nik's sanity will stay in tact with another girl." Rebekah interrupted.
"Ahh sister you know me quite well it seems" Klaus smirked.
"It seems congratulations are in order brother. I'm happy that you once again get to experience fatherhood, it seems it has suited you well."
"Thank you Elijah, it does appear I'm not completely incompetent at it doesn't it."
Hayley looked over at a quiet Hope curiously, she was the only one who hadn't said anything about the new baby. "Hope, how do you feel about me and your dad having another baby? It's okay to say how you feel."
"Can I please just have a brother this time, I don't want another Diana."
Klaus and Hayley both laughed, seems like everyone in their family wanted a boy this time around. "We will see in a few months if we get our wish sweetheart." Klaus replied.
"Hey what's wrong with me!" Diana asked her sister angrily.
"You're annoying that's what's wrong." Hope replied.
"And you're mean!" Diana barked back.
"Only because you're annoying." Hope responded.
"Okay that's enough out of you two, go upstairs and get changed just because you got a day off from school that doesn't mean you get to be sloths all day in your bed clothes." Klaus interrupted.
"Yeah get dressed and I just might take you guys out for a treat." Hayley chimed it.
Both girls got up and did as they were told. Klaus stopped them before they could leave the living room and compelled them just like he and Hayley had agreed upon. After he finished the two girls went right back to their bickering. Klaus and Hayley listened on and smiled. Soon their lives would be flooded with not only bickering daughters but also a wailing baby. They weren't sure things could get any more perfect than they already were.
