"I want to see her!" "Well she doesn't want to see you!" I heard voices downstairs. I recognized one as Katherine's, but I felt the other one was familiar from somewhere. I got up from my bed and saw a note taped to my lamp. I picked it up and scanned the page, curiously. 'Dear Hayley, Elijah and I are going to confront Marcel. We found out that Rebekah was possessed by Mother. So, we must figure out how to separate them so we can kill Mother, but not Rebekah. So, we will be back later. We left Katherine here to protect you. If she does not do her job, tell us. Have fun today, Love, Klaus.' Well that answers that question. I quickly got dressed, threw up, and walked downstairs. My morning routine.

To my surprise, there stood Katherine facing off with Jackson. "Hayley!" Jackson said as he saw me. "Jackson, what'd you want?" "You have to marry me to unite our pack." I stepped closer, ignoring Katherine's shocked expressions. "Get this through your head. No." He reached in, pulling me by my elbow. "Hayley, don't you care about your pack?" "No, they betrayed me. I may share blood with them, but family is not always blood relations. I won't marry you." He growled and tried to slap me. I grabbed his arm and through him across the room. "Don't mess with me." I dragged his limp body through the door and speeded him to the bayou, dropping him in the dirt. I speeded back to the house, when I suddenly felt a pain in my stomach.

I turned around to see Sophie standing there with a needle in her hand. I gasped and walked inside to see Katherine. "The needle of sorrow!" She exclaimed, when I told her what happened. "Hayley keep your temperature down. As soon as you feel your temperature rising, tell me immediately." "What does the needle of sorrow do?" I asked her. "Its purpose is to kill a child in the uterus, by raising the mother's temperature." I looked at her in shock. "Katherine…" "I'm not kidding." A pain struck my head, and I fell to the ground in pain. She knelt beside me and felt my forehead. "Hayley! You're burning up!" I felt myself collapse in her arms. She took out her phone and dialed Klaus or Elijah, I'm not sure which, then pulled me upstairs. She stripped me down to bra and underwear, and helped me get into a cold bath. She placed ice on my forehead, trying to keep my temperature down. I thanked her. I saw Klaus walk into the bathroom, and cradled me in his arms. I felt my eyes trying to close. "No, love. Keep them open." He comforted me. "I… can't…" I said softly as everything went black.

I woke up some time later in my bed. Klaus was next to me, holding my hand. My eyelids fluttered open, and he squeezed my hand gently. "Is she…?" I started. Klaus nodded. "She's better than ever." "What happened?" I asked. "You lost consciousness. We weren't sure if the baby would survive, but you both pulled through at the last second. "I was so scared… I am so glad you were there. I don't know what I would have done…" I whispered, crying into his shoulder. He hugged me back, stroking my hair, "Ssh, ssh. Love, it's alright. I know it's scary, but I'm here for you." "We all are." Katherine spoke up from the doorway. I blushed.

Klaus kissed me softly, to reassure me that it'd all be okay. Then, I remembered something. "Klaus." I said, catching his attention, "When I was out, I saw someone. Someone who wanted to kill our daughter. Someone who wants to kill you… Mikael." He gripped my shoulders. "What did he say, Hayley?" "About you? Nothing true. About our daughter? That she is an abomination and he wants to kill her. He's joined forces with Esther." Klaus looked me in the eyes and kissed me hard. "Nothing will happen to her. I promise, Little Wolf. As long as I live, no harm will come to you or our daughter. As for Mikael…" "Don't listen to him, Klaus. What he said wasn't true. I promise." I kissed him, noticing that Katherine and Elijah had left, we made love all night long.
