Hayley is feeling very self-conscious. A little more than a week is left to the wedding and she still has to sort out so many things – the first thing being her feelings. How long can she keep on hiding her feelings from Klaus? She gets up, stands in front of the mirror and puts her hands on her stomach. How will I look in a wedding gown? She thinks and then decides that she will not wear a traditional white wedding dress. May be something formal but cream in color she thinks. She does not have a lot of money but she can afford a good dress. She smiles at that thought.

Klaus calls Rebekah. "Rebekah you have to take Hayley to her wedding shopping. I want it to be best day of her life. Buy whatever she wants to"

Rebekah smiles into the phone. She can see that her brother is starting to fall for his baby mama and has no clue. She is happy for him "Okay when?"

Klaus "Tomorrow, wedding is next Sunday"

Rebekah shrieked "What! You imbecilic? You cannot have a wedding in one week! Have you told anyone else? At least Hayley?"

Klaus smiles "Yes of course I have told Hayley but rest of the people no, you are the first to know"

He then calls his brothers to give them the news. Their reactions are similar to Rebekah's but milder. He puts the phone down when he hears a knock on the door.

Hayley knocks on his room. After a couple of seconds he opens it with a smile on his lips. Hayley has only been in his room once- the night when they first met and that was at night time. She looks around his room and admires his taste.

"Klaus I need to go for some shopping, I just wanted to let you know before I left" she says to him and is about to turn whey Klaus stops her "Rebekah will take you"

Hayley is avoiding her. He notices. "Hayley are you not happy about us getting married?"

Hayley looks up and looks at him in surprise "No, why do you ask?"

"Why are you avoiding me then?" he asked

"I am not" she says defensively and leaves the room. Klaus looks at her leaving the room.

That afternoon Rebekah takes Hayley for dress shopping. Rebekah sees a beautiful dress but Hayley put it back. Rebekah looks at another dress and put it against her and said "try this on, you will look stunning in it"

Hayley takes the dress and goes in the dressers but she comes out immediately "it does not fit me".

"Fitting can be altered why didn't you show me?" Rebekah is surprised at Hayley's reluctance in buying the dress.

Then she follows Hayley's gaze. Her eyes were fixed on a beautiful cream lace dress with beautiful lines. She picks up the dress and passes it to her but she does not take it and says "let's go to another shop"

"What is going on?" Rebekah asks impatiently.

At least Hayley says "it is too expensive"

"What? Come on it is your wedding day. Nothing is expensive. Now try this" Rebekah exclaims

She forces the dress on Hayley. It needs some fitting adjustment for obvious reasons but she looks beautiful in it.

Hayley has no idea Rebekah is buying the dress. She doesn't want her to but she doesn't win the argument with her.

Next they buy her shoes. When they get out of the shoe shop, Rebekah is eyeing her mischievously "Now let us go shop for your wedding night"

Hayley's cheeks are burning and Rebekah is laughing so hard that she is having pain in her muscles.

She drags Hayley into a lingerie's shop only with the condition that Hayley will select something of her own choice. They walk through the store and Hayley picks up a black full length night suit with fine laced bodice. She looks at Rebekah, who looks at her with amusement "Has Nik told you what he will like?" when she looks at her in confusion Rebekah says "Nik would love it"

Hayley is surprised to hear it. She never thought that Klaus will like something like this. She knows that he is a bit traditionalist but he was a guy.

They leave the shop smiling. Hayley is getting tired now and Rebekah notices it. They get some coffee from drive by and get home.

By the time they head back to home it is dark. On entering the house the first thing they hear is men arguing at loud voices. Rebekah is alarmed "What is going on?" She asks but Klaus says "nothing". Hayley looks from Klaus to Elijah and Kol. She knows that they are hiding something from her and Rebekah. She steps forward but then she feels dizzy and faints. Klaus immediately catches her. Everyone else is alarmed at her fainting like this. Klaus puts her gently on the couch and says "Hayley" She opens her eyes and realizes that everyone is looking at her "O god what happened?"

"You fainted that is what happened. When was the last time you ate?" Klaus asks with a little annoyance

"We had lunch and coffee a couple of hours ago" She says

Rebekah says "I think she needs to rest. Why don't you take her upstairs to her room Nik?" he carries her against all her protest and walks her to her room. He puts her gently on the bed and moves her hair away from her forehead. "Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, I am sorry I don't know what happened. I didn't mean to worry anyone"

She tries to get up and sit but Klaus pushes her back to bed. She feels so strange lying in front of him. He gives her a glass of water, which she drink under his watchful eyes.

"Okay why don't you rest and we can talk later" Klaus says and is turning away.

Before she realizes, she stop him by holding his hand "No, tell me what is going on?"

He looks at her hand holding his. She has never done that before. She follows his gaze and let his hand go. He sighs and sits down again "Your clan knows about you and me and they are not happy about it. Elijah is having trouble keeping peace with them. But you don't worry. Everything will be okay. Elijah and I think that we should get married as soon as possible probably this Sunday. Will you marry me on Sunday?" he asks her

"This Sunday?" she repeats "as in day after tomorrow"

"Yes" he holds her hands. She looks down at them and then nods

Then she smiles and relaxes back. He gets up and leaves her room closing the door behind him softly.

When he gets down Elijah says "I have put some vampires on guard to your house". When Klaus protested "Don't be stupid now, you have to think about Hayley and the baby" Elijah snaps

Klaus looks at every one "So I have talked to her and as Elijah suggested earlier that the wedding is happing on Sunday now". He looks at Elijah's shock expressions and says "Yes Rebekah this Sunday as in day after tomorrow"

After they leave Klaus goes in his room and no time he goes to sleep.
