Hi everyone! I apologise for the whole "Cami" thing. I don't really like her either and was having trouble with coming up with something for the last chapter. She probably wont be back. Anyway this chapter is very Rebekah heavy at the start. And please do be warned that it is pretty heavy stuff about a sad pregnancy story. But I did add some Klayley for you guys. Hope you like it and please keep reviewing :) Oh and this is set a couple weeks after the last chapter so Hayley is about 3 months pregnant.

Chapter 10

Rebekah's POV

For some reason, Niklaus coming here in the middle of the night didn't annoy me like I thought it would. This is my apartment, I chose to keep this place a secret for a reason. Well not really a secret, Elijah knew but I just wanted my own space, away from Niklaus. He has to control everything! I love my brother, but he is just not the typical family man.

I think back to a time 1000 years ago when he was the sweetest little boy you'd ever met. He would always make sure that I was ok, especially after one of Mikaels tantrums even though he was usually on the recieving end of it.

I really hope Elijah is right and this baby is his redemption because I don't think I can survive another 1000 years of his crap.

Everytime I look at Hayley, I feel so much joy at the thought of being an aunt. But at the same time I hate Niklaus, because after all the horrible things he has done he gets a family, a baby. I have always wanted a child. I did have a chance, along time ago. I hadn't thought about it in centuries. I hated thinking about it, it made me feel weak. I am anything but weak, I'm the only female Original for gods sake. But everytime my mind found that memory I just felt so defeated. I could feel my eyes starting to well up. I walk to my bedroom and pull out an old memory box. I search through it and find the ragged little booties that my mother made me 1000 years.

I hear Hayley coming down the hallway, I try and wipe my face and compose myself before she notices. But it's too late. She is standing in my doorway with a concerned look on her face "Bekah, what's wrong?" she says coming closer. " I'm fine" I say as another tear spills over my eyelids accidently. She immediatly pulls me into a huge hug and strokes my hair. She pulls back "Please, you can talk to me" she says with an encouraging smile. She notices me holding the baby booties and a look of confusion crosses her face. I walk over and sit on the edge of my bed and Hayley follows.

I had never told this story to anyone, but for some reason I felt close enough with Hayley to talk to her about this.

"It was a long time ago, back when I was human. I was 16 years old and I was in love. Well I thought it was love. His name was William and he lived in the village next to ours. My father had no idea. I think my mother did but she never said anything, I was her little girl. One night I snuck out to see him, Niklaus covered for me when Mikael came to check on us, even though he hated the thought of me being with a man. We were sitting at the lake, counting the stars...and well...one thing led to another.." I felt embarrased saying this part and I think my cheeks were flushed.

"Anyway...A couple weeks later I fell ill. My mother was an amazing healer and witch but she couldn't make me feel better." Hayley just sat there listening intently. "She told me that I was pregnant. I remember that feeling of joy, but also fear. Fear of what Mikael would do if he found out." Another tear fell and Hayley rubbed my arm gently. "My mother was disappointed but she loved me and only wanted the best for me. She promised she wouldn't tell Mikael and that we would figure it out." She held up the booties in her hand "She made me these, and said she could put a spell on Mikael so that he would understand and wouldn't hurt me or my baby. But before she had a chance, my brother Finn overheard our conversation and ran straight to Mikael."

"He stormed inside and grabbed me by the throat and threw me across the room. I landed straight on my back and was in agony. I could hardly move. He kneeled over me and his nose was inches from mine."Who did this to you?" he asks me dangerously. I start to cry but he just laughs an evil laugh. "It's you or him!" he roars. I didn't want to tell him because I knew what he was going to do. But I didn't want him to hurt my baby. So I told him. Within an hour, William was dead and his head delivered to his parents. I was distraught.

I thought he was going to kill me and he nearly did. He beat me for what felt like days. I knew that my baby was gone, and I think that hurt more than my physical pain. My mother did her best to try and stop him as did my brothers. But Mikael was stronger than all of us. My mother being a witch created a spell to block Mikael from me temporarily. But instead he just turned his anger toward her."

I'm now crying uncontrolably as Hayley rubs my back and holds my hands. I look up and see that she is now silently crying along with me. "Rebekah, I'm so sorry. I had no idea. Your dad is a horrible person" I manage a weak smile through all my tears "You've got no idea" I say sarcasticly. My heart actually feels a little lighter finally getting this off my chest. "I can't imagine what that must feel like, Rebekah...but you will always be this baby's aunt. No matter what, and you know who I'm going to ask to babysit." She winks at me and I manage a genuine smile.

I get up off the bed and walk to the mirror. I quickly try and fix my make-up and snap myself out of this mood. "Come on Hayley, lets go out. I need a drink!" I say. She looks wary "Are you sure you should go out right now Rebekah? You're not in the best mindset right now. "She says with concern in her voice. "Yes, this is exactly what I need right now, I want to have a drink and dance with my sister-in-law. Is that too much to ask?" I say pouting. She throws her hands up in the air in defeat and says "Fine, but let me take a shower first."

Hayley's POV

I walk down the hallway in shock. I can't comprehend how someone could do that to their own daughter. I know it was a very different century but I could never do that to my baby. This actually makes me understand Rebekah a little more. She is very much like Klaus in the way that she is brutal when she wants to be, but now I see how broken she is on the inside. She never wanted to become a vampire and now I understand why. All she wanted was a family and it was taken from her, by her own father.

I step into the shower and let the hot water soak my skin. I try and forget about what Rebekah told me because I don't ever want to feel that pain of losing a child. I hold my hand over my tiny baby bump and whisper "I know I haven't met you yet but I love you so much already, I won't let anyone hurt you, not even your daddy."

I jump out of the shower and put on a dress Rebekah has obviosuly layed out for me that hides my little belly. She comes into my room without knocking and makes me sit down in front of the mirror and starts doing my hair and make-up. Once she deems that I am finished I get up to look in the mirror, I do look pretty good. I hardly ever wear make up but I must admit Rebekah is a miracle worker when it comes to beauty products.

We get to the bar and suddenly I feel nervous. Rebekah picks up on this and grabs my shoulders gently. "Hayley, it's going to be fine, you're with me, no one will dare come near you." I smile at her kindness. I think Rebekah is my first proper friend.

We enter the bar and take a seat. I feel my nerves starting to calm down as my milkshake arrives. Rebekah downs her entire scotch and clicks her fingers at the waitress to get her another.

We were just chatting when I heard the door of the bar open and as I turned around to look who it was and my gut dropped. Klaus was striding through the bar like he owned the place, with a man I am assuming is Marcel trailing not far behind him. He hadn't noticed us yet, thank god! Rebekah glances over to me and see's what I'm looking at, she smirks when she see's Marcel, which makes me wonder what was going on between them.

Klaus turns around smiling but as our gaze connects, his eyes flash a shade of yellow with fury. I can see that little part of wolf coming out in him, I want to look away but his eyes, even filled with anger, still draw me in. Before he can walk to our table, Marcel notices us, well more Rebekah than me and starts to walk toward us.

Klaus looks nervous for probably the first time in his existence. He awkwardly stumbles along behind Marcel like a lost little puppy. 'Rebekah, my darling"Marcel says after he kisses her hand. I look to Klaus and it looks like he is about to explode. He places his hand forcefully on Marcel's shoulder. "I think we should leave the girls to their drinks" he says with a hint of rage. "Oh calm down Klaus, I was just saying hi. Besides I didn't get the name of your lovely friend here." He extends his hand to me and suprisingly I return his gesture and smile "I'm Hayley, nice to meet you" I say very politely. "You must be new around here, because I definatley would remember seeing someone a gorgeous as you." I laugh uncomfortably and Rebekah is staring at Marcel in shock. "Yes I am new here." I say. Rebekah interupts me "Hayley and I are old friends" she says in an annoyed tone. Things are feeling a little tense now and I glance over at Klaus. He is furious, his eyes are nearly all black.

I excuse myself to go to the bathroom and try to close the door as Klaus sticks his foot in the way. "What the hell are you doing, get out of here Klaus!" I yell. He pushes his way in and I am instantly hit with his over-powering scent. It was exhilerating but nauseating at the same time. We are dangerously close and he still hasn't said anything. "Well..?" I say again angrily. "What do you think you're doing here? You shouldn't be out in your condition". I scoff. He can't tell me what to do, he has hardly shown interest in me or the baby. "I am pregnant not terminal. I can go wherever I want." I say with my temper starting to rise.

He looks like he is about to boil ever. I can feel the heat coming off him. He grabs my arm aggresively "I've got something to show you. You are coming with me, little wolf." I try and shake him off, it is actually starting to hurt me. I don't want to show him that he has any affect on me at all. He is squeezing tighter and tighter and I can't take it anymore. I wince at the pain and he immediately releases me. "I'm not going anywhere with you." I say in disgust. He presses me against the wall more gently than I expected. "Don't make me ask you again, love" he says now smirking. Being this close to him reminded me of that one night we shared, how surprisingly gentle he was when he handled me. That glint in his eyes, his strong peircing eyes made my heart beat faster.

He unexpectadly brushes his hand over my tiny baby bump which sends a shiver down my spine. He grins even bigger when he sees my reaction to his touch. "What makes you think you can make me do anything?" I say defensively. He smiles sweetly "I will do whatever it takes. Because I need to know that our baby is ok...and that you are ok, at all times."

I swear his mood goes up and down more than mine and I'm a pregnant hormonal werewolf. One minute he nearly breaks my wrist the other he sounds like he genuinely cares. His eyes bore into mine like he was looking straight through me. "It is not a question, little wolf. So don't make me ask it again." He says trying to contain his anger. I throw my hands up in the air in defeat "Fine, show me whatever you want to show me! But first get the hell out of the bathroom, this baby is going to make my bladder explode." He chuckles and walks out "I'll meet you outside little wolf."
