Hola!
A few people have commented on what they want to see in the chapters. Mainly, it was more Klaus/Hayley interaction. I really don't even know at this point if I even ship them, but I do like the idea of their friendship and stuff. And obviously they have chemistry, or else the whole sex thing wouldn't have happened in the first place, it's undeniable. But hey, here's a Klayley chapter with a bit of love, bit of hate and everything in between.
Im currently majorly excited for the return of sherlock, so I apologise, I'm feeling extremely British at this point in time. Also, I've had a few drinks, and I'm feeling romantic.
Enjoy And HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The door was still slightly open from the way he had left it the previous night, when he had indulged in his short heart to heart with Hayley, if it could be called that.
He peeked through the hole and saw she was still fast asleep, snoring ever so slightly from lying on her back. Even though he was not in love with the wolf, he could still admire her undeniable beauty. When she was awake, she was lustworthy. Provocative. Amorous. Her prominent cheek bones and beautiful green eyes adding to the effect. The way she had bitten her lip the night their child was conceived, the way she had stared, waiting for an invitation to go wild.
But sleeping, she was a different person. She was young. Klaus often forgot that she was just 19. 19 years old. She was so young. With here eyes closed all lust was diminished, and replaced by a strange air of innocence.
He pushed open the bedroom door and stepped inside, no longer able to stand in the hallway. Hayley's breathing quickened in pace for a second, then went back to a normal rate as she still slept soundly, regardless of Klaus' intrusion.
As he got closer to her bed, he admired her features, something he hadn't really done before. She had long eyelashes. She has the faintest scar on her left cheek, almost invisible to the naked eye. Her lips were full and equal, a dark pink in colour. His eyes didn't stop there. She had kicked her covers off during the night. He tried and failed to be a gentleman, as he took in the rest of her. Her breasts were large, no doubt from the pregnancy. Her curves plentiful. He looked to her stomach, where the child, his child lay safe. Safe from all harm. Safe from him. Even in her sleep, Hayley was protective and had her hands cupped around her lower abdomen. He smiled. Even though the girl had denied her urge for a child, he saw now her love for the unborn child. Their child.
He stood for a few more minutes, in a freeze frame until a voice interrupted his thoughts. "You know, it's creepy to watch people sleep, Edward." Hayley looked up at him.
Klaus cleared his throat, "..Who might Edward be? Anyway, I came to ask you something."
Hayley rolled her eyes, "God, you know twilight? The whole, vampire/human love thing?", When Klaus kept a clueless face she continued, "...you said you wanted to ask something, shoot."
"I wanted to ask you something..personal."
Hayley sat up and fiddled with her hair. "Well I'd say we're past personal because well, pregnant werewolf over here", she gestured to her belly, "...but what is it?".
Klaus didn't immediately reply, he took the seat next to the bed, whilst Hayley waited for him to ask a question. After a moments silence, he spoke. "I've been wondering, for a while now, why did you sleep with me back in mystic falls?".
"Because being a werewolf makes you horny, like really badly, and seeing as you were the only 'person' in sight, it was inevitable."
He pursed his lips, "Hayley, tell me the real reason."
She sighed before answering him again, "I guess, you seemed lost, alone, abandoned. Like me. I was being hunted that day by freaking vampires, then you rescued me. I saw your art work, saw what it meant and I felt like I could relate to you. Then obviously, you got me drunk and we are currently reaping the reward from our drunken indiscretion."
Once again he pondered his response, this time taking so long Hayley wondered whether he was even going to reply at all. "Do you regret it?" He looked directly at her stomach.
It was her turn to make him wait. "I regret that it had to happen the way it did, I regret that it happened when I was 19 and I regret that Im alone in all this but no. I don't regret her, because she's my only real family, and even if her father is a notorious psycho, I love her." She touched her stomach.
"You're not alone, you have me." Klaus suddenly blurted out.
Hayley looked at him, her eyes burning into Klaus' blue orbs. "It's good to hear." She finally decided to answer. She reached her hand out slightly towards Klaus. He extended his own towards the wolf, and gently squeezed her delicate hand inside of his.
They stayed like that for a while, no lust, no desire, no passion. Just unity. Unity for the sake of their unborn child and their own questionable sanity.
Hayley finally pulled away. "I need to ask you something."
Klaus looked amused. "Please, go ahead little wolf, I'm an open book."
She took a deep breath, "I know you don't love me, you only love your child. I'm just an incubator, someone to toss out the second the baby is born. I need you to promise me something. Promise me you won't take her away from me, promise me you wont kick me out. Please, just give me your word."
Klaus looked shocked, surprised that the wold was having thoughts like that. "I know what it's like to grow up without both or your true parents, I know the damage that causes. I would never force you to leave our child, I am many things, but I am not that cruel, not cruel enough to leave my own child motherless. I give you my word, I will let you stay."
She smiled, all her worry evaporated into nothing, at least for that time being. She could tell Klaus was being sincere, he wasn't going to break his promise.
He went to leave the room. "Klaus?" She called, exactly the same way she had the night before.
He turned.
"You really should read the Twilight books, they would totally make you question your own sanity!" She said to him, smiling.
He smiled his own broken, sad smile back before he replied. "What sanity?"
Klaus left the room. Hayley continued to stare into the hallway. At the man she once thought of as a monster.
Instead he was a scared little boy. A victim of the true monster. Sanity.
-The end-
