Klaymonth Day 10: Family Day- Klayley + Hope
A five year old little girl jumped into her daddy's lap as he was reading some poetry. "Daddy!" she exclaimed excited. "Hey, love. How are you?" He kissed his daughter's forehead softly and smiled at her joyful life. "Mommy has to wake up!" she exclaimed with a frown on her face. Klaus frowned as well. "Why would mommy need to wake up? If mommy wants to sleep late, she can sleep late. You can sleep late too, Hope. It doesn't bother me, love." "It bothers me. Mommy has to wake up! Please, daddy! I want to have a special day! I want to play!" Hope put on a pouty puppy face at her father and Klaus chuckled as he remembered Hayley doing the same thing to him once, to get his attention.
Klaus remembered what happened five years ago, the pain and torture both he and Hayley had to go through to see Hope leave their arms, away to be raised by her aunt, Rebekah. They had her back in less than a year and they couldn't have been happier right here in New Orleans where they belonged. Klaus could be said to be happy for the first time in his life. He liked having both Hayley and Hope around. He and Hayley had decided to start a relationship three years ago and he felt he really loved this woman.
Klaus smirked as he saw Hope still looking at him angrily. "Alright, love. Let's go and wake mommy up!" he told her and put the poetry book back on the table where he got it from. "Yay!" Hope exclaimed and used her hybrid speed to raise herself up the stairs and Klaus followed her quickly. Klaus peeked through the door to see Hayley sleeping peacefully there. He didn't feel like waking her up. She was always so beautiful when she was sleeping peacefully, without a care in the world. "Daddy, we have to wake her up. She has been sleeping since forever." Hope complained and Klaus chuckled again and said in a whisper, "Why don't you go downstairs and prepare mommy a nice delicious meal and I will gently wake her up?" Hope looked like she was thinking about it before she grinned and said, "Ok!" She ran out of there as fast as her little hybrid feet could carry her. Klaus looked back at Hayley sleeping and entered.
Hayley hadn't taken note of him in the room. He gently went inside and slipped himself under the covers with her as he could hear Hope doing something downstairs in the kitchen. Hayley turned around, still sleeping and facing Klaus. He caressed her face and placed a soft kiss on one of her eyes which made her open them. "Good morning, little wolf." Klaus whispered. "What are you doing, Klaus? I thought I told you that I want to sleep late today. I am really tired." Hayley told him, groggy. "Yes, love. You did tell me, but you forgot to tell our daughter over there." Klaus pointed to the door and then there was a crash that could be heard in the kitchen and Hayley shot up from the bed. "What is she doing in there?"
"I told her it would be nice if she would prepare you something special because you know what day is today, don't you little wolf?" Hayley raised one eyebrow and then frowned. "I don't know what you're talking about." "It's Mother's Day." Klaus responded and Hayley smiled all of a sudden, now understanding. "Does Hope remember?" she asked. "I think she does because I don't think she would have woken you up like this for no reason. She wants to have a family day, just the three of us." Klaus pulled Hayley in for a passionate kiss to which she responded, smiling. "I like the sound of that. But I don't think we can do that with Elijah and Rebekah around." "Elijah will be out on business all day and Rebekah is out of town with Marcel for a couple of days." "That sounds great." Hayley whispered and Klaus smiled mischievously as he pinned her to the bed and started kissing her with more force and more passion, letting her know how much he wants her. "Klaus, we shouldn't…" Hayley exclaimed breathlessly as she felt her legs being wrapped around his waist. "What's the problem, love?" Klaus asked her in a whisper as he kissed down her jaw line and tried to get her out of her nightgown. "Hope." Hayley hissed at him and Klaus smiled. "She won't hear us. She's downstairs and I can't help it, love. You're turning me on." Hayley giggled again as Klaus kissed her. She was about to take her nightgown off when there was a knock on the door and Klaus pulled back immediately, revealing Hope at the door with a smile on her face. "Daddy, what are you doing?" she asked and Klaus said, "Mommy would not wake up so…I had to persuade her." Hope was giggling like mad as Hayley pulled her nightgown over her and stepped out of the bed. "Okay, breakfast time!" She shooed Hope out of the room as Klaus chuckled to himself.
"Happy birthday, mommy!" Hope exclaimed and handed Hayley a fancy plate with some pancakes covered with blood and other condiments. Hayley tried not to make a face at the sight and Klaus tried not to bark up a laugh as he watched Hayley smile forcefully. "Mommy, don't you like it?" Hope asked her and looked upset. "No, sweetie. It's amazing and so creative. I like it very much!" She gave Hope a hug and Klaus pulled up a chair at the table near Hayley. "And now it's time to be a good mom and eat those pancakes don't you think, love?" He was smirking at her and Hayley knew what game he was playing. "I don't know. Hope made these magical pancakes for me but wouldn't it be nice if daddy got a taste of them too?" Hayley asked Hope and the little girl nodded. "Please, try it, daddy!"
Klaus' smile disappeared and it was Hayley's turn to smirk right now. Blood was okay with both of them but not combined with chocolate, peanut butter and honey over some pancakes. Just thinking about it makes it disgusting, even for immortals like them. "Come on, Klaus! It's time for you to be a good daddy." Hayley whispered and blew him a kiss on the cheek. "Maybe we should wait until Father's Day for me, don't you think so, Hope? Then you can make these special pancakes for daddy, and especially for daddy. Since it is mommy's day, I think she should try them." Klaus insisted and pushed the plate of pancakes to Hayley.
Hayley tried not to make a face again and smiled dearly at her daughter. "Sweetie, it's about time that mommy teaches you something about men." Hope grinned and put herself on Hayley's lap. "We know that life is hard and when life is hard, desperate times call for desperate measures. That is usually reserved for men who have to act big and brave in front of women, and take their chances first, being gentlemen. You heard of that right?" Hope nodded. "Aunty Bekah told me that men must always be gentlemen." "Precisely! That is why daddy must do the honors first and take a bite out of these glorious and special pancakes made by our dearest daughter." Hayley pushed the plate back to Klaus and he remained blocked. He had no way out this time. What was he to do? There was no way out of this. He had to take a bite. Klaus picked up a fork and stared at the sauce combined of blood, peanut butter, honey and chocolate sauce and he felt like he would be sick. He would have done it just with blood on top. It would have been nice. Hayley urged him and Klaus finally ate a bit and he felt like throwing it up immediately but stood strong! For the sake of his daughter's happiness, he had to pretend like he loved them. He didn't want to hurt her and he knew Hayley would kill him if he did. "The best pancakes in the world!" Klaus exclaimed and Hope jumped up and down excited. "Yaaaay!" Hayley smiled at him genuinely this time and whispered, "Thank you."
Klaus was caught by Hayley in the bathroom afterwards. "How is my gentleman?" Hayley asked with a smile as Klaus rinsed his mouth and washed his face. "Where is Hope?" Klaus asked her and she responded, "She is outside, waiting for us to join her." "Did you get to taste those pancakes?" he asked and Hayley shook her head. "She ran outside before I could and I threw them in the garbage." Klaus rolled his eyes and said, "I hope you appreciate what I've done for you. The taste won't leave my mouth, little wolf!" Klaus exclaimed, disgusted. Hayley went closer to him and put her hands on his chest, whispering close to his face. "I do appreciate and love you for it." Klaus loved hearing Hayley say those words to him. It felt so nice to finally be loved by someone truly.
He went closer, wrapped his arms around her and caressed her face gently. "You will however have to offer me something for this." he whispered and Hayley smiled, knowing what he was talking about. "You are still turning me on, so let Hope play outside and come back upstairs with me." Klaus whispered, kissing her neck. "That can be arranged. Family day can wait a few hours, right?" Hayley said with a smug and Klaus grinned back. "Right." He picked her up in his arms and they kissed until they reached Klaus' room. Klaus opened the door and threw his mate on his bed, starting to make love to her without stopping.
