Caroline sat on the couch as Rebekah sat on the chair opposite herself and Elijah stood gazing into the fire. They sat in silence until someone came barging into the room calling out in pain. "Help! The baby's coming." They all turned and Caroline watched as the two siblings rushed over to…Hayley? What was she doing here and why was she pregnant?

Elijah picked her up and urged his sister along with him, "Come Rebekah. Get hot water and towels and then meet me upstairs." Elijah didn't wait to see if Rebekah obeyed he just ran up the stairs into the first room he came to, which happened to be Niklaus's room.

Caroline curious as always ran into the room but paused in the door way and watched as Hayley was put into Klaus's bed. She didn't understand what was going on. She felt Rebekah rush past her with towels and water. She watched as they fussed all over her. Caroline couldn't take it any longer. "What the hell is going on?"

Hayley was the first to speak, "What does it look like Care? I'm in labor."

Caroline narrowed her eyes, "I see that but I still don't understand why you're here in my man's bed."

Everything became quiet all except Hayley's ragged breaths and then she laughed. "I'd have thought he'd told you by now Caroline."

Caroline felt her heart drop as she said, "Told me what?"

Hayley smiled now, "I'm having his baby."

All the color drained from Caroline's face. She felt like she couldn't breathe. "What?"

Rebekah becoming impatient spoke up, "For God's sakes Caroline. Klaus is the father. Did you really expect him not to sleep with anyone while you were rutting it away with Tyler? Honestly, I don't know what my brother sees in you. Then again I don't see what he sees in this one here but she's having his child so she takes priority. Therefore why don't you shut up or you can leave. Choice is yours."

Elijah glared at his sister and said, "No reason to be harsh with Miss Forbes."

Caroline watched as her world tilted. This whole time that Klaus was trying to woo her he'd been fucking the wereslut. She felt like the biggest fool. She turned around on shaky legs to walk out of the house. She didn't know where she was going but she didn't care. Tears pricked her eyes and she couldn't contain the sobs that were lodged in her throat any longer. She walked into an alley so that no one would see her and that's when she made her mistake. She felt the needle stab her neck before everything went dark. Vervain; was her last thought before she passed out.


Klaus could hear the cries before he reached the front door. He sped into the house and up the stairs as he watched Hayley push the baby out. He looked around the room and only saw Elijah and Rebekah. He became panicked when Caroline was nowhere to be found. He listened intently to the noises in the rest of the house but it was silent meaning no one else was here. "Where is Caroline?"

Hayley frown as Rebekah handed her the baby, "Your son has just been born and all you can think about is Caroline?"

Klaus flew to her and grabbed her by the neck not caring about the child in her arms. "Where is she?"

Elijah put a hand to his shoulder and said menacingly, "Remove your hand Niklaus."

Klaus did but he wasn't backing down. "Where is Caroline?"

"She left Nik. Walked right out." Rebekah said shrugging her shoulders.

Klaus looked to her and then to the other occupants of the room. "You let her leave?" Anger rose up inside of him.

Elijah shook his head, "Yes. But Niklaus your son has just been born. Why don't you hold him?"

Klaus didn't want to hold anything, he wanted to find his Caroline but Elijah thrusted the child into his arms so he didn't really have a choice. He looked down at the child for the first time. The child's hair was jet black and thick. His eyes were too big, lips too thin, and not a dimple in sight. There was no connection to this child, no inkling of tender feeling. He grew even more anger as he thrusted the child back to Elijah, "That is NOT my son."

Everyone looked to him with shocked disappointment. Elijah spoke first saying, "Niklaus be reasonable."

Klaus snarled, "I'm telling you that is not my son." Klaus was about to lose it. Were his siblings crazy? The child looked nothing like him. "He looks nothing like me. None of his features resemble mine."

Elijah laughed relieved, "Brother he's a baby. He's not supposed to look like anyone."

"Really? Do you remember when Natty was born brother?" Klaus asked as his voice became tender. "She had my eyes, same color, same shape. Her little lips were plump and ruby colored like mine. She had her mother's hair though, dark and wild. When she yawned she had the slightest dimple in her cheek. She was beautiful. I knew right away she was my child. I never wanted to admit it though. I loved her right then." Klaus had tears forming in his eyes as he realized what he'd put that beautiful child through but he planned to make it up too her, right now he had to fix this. "I'm telling you this is not my child."

Elijah looked down at the babe he held and looked for any sign that Klaus was wrong. This child looked nothing like them. None of them. He looked to Hayley thinking maybe he just took solely after her but the child looked nothing like her either. He also noticed she'd became increasingly panicked her heart beginning to race. Elijah narrowed his eyes at the girl and said, "You lied to us."

Rebekah had been silent during the whole scene and felt the sickening feeling that what they said was true and she knew she'd rip this bitch's heart out for deceiving her brothers. "Why you little whore? Who's child is this? So help me I'll rip your heart out right now?"

Rebekah had her hand around Hayley's throat while Elijah stilling holding the baby glared at her while Klaus shot daggers her way. "It's Tyler's. The witches told me to lie or they'd kill Tyler and make me watch as well as kill my baby when it was born if I didn't pass it off as yours."

Elijah looked to Klaus and Klaus grudgingly nodded so Elijah proceeded, "We will let you stay until your well enough to leave then I suggest you get the hell out of here with YOUR child and never return. Do you understand?" Hayley nodded her head slowly. She watched as Elijah carefully handed her back her son. Knowing she'd have to run and never stop or the witches would hunt her down and kill her little baby.

The three Originals walked out of the room and down the stairs into the living area and straight to the liquor cabinet. They all three drank heavily of the bourbon and went through several glasses before Rebekah finally spoke breaking the silence. "I can't believe that little bitch."

Klaus growled into his glass, "I can. I should have known. No, I did know but someone kept insisting I should believe her." He looked to Elijah with blame in his eyes.

"I'm sorry brother I didn't think she would lie about something like that." Elijah looked to Klaus for forgiveness and for some reason Klaus found himself giving it. "It's alright Elijah. She fooled us all."

Elijah gave a small smile and then said, "You're going to forgive her."

Klaus closed his eyes and said, "That's what father's do for their daughters." They all smiled knowing this was the beginning. Maybe now they could wipe the slate clean and begin again.


Sorry for those of you Hayley fans, I just don't like her, but this doesn't mean this will be the last we see of our she-wolf. Oh and is anyone wondering what happened to Caroline or have you guessed?
