A/N: Okay so here it is. I don't know how it turned out. I am not happy with it as my heart is not into writing lol.. I sound so pathetic right now :(. Any way I hope you like it.

I must say that It is not that I didnt expect that to happen. It is just that it is so morally wrong that I cannot wrap my head around it and that the writers and people don't see the wrong in it. That is something really mind boggling to me.

Anyway the more I dwell on it the more I am having difficulty getting into this story so I am trying to put it behind me and finish this one.

Synopsis: Elijah takes an unexpected action because of harvest failure. Klaus has a break through with Hope. Klaus finds out who killed Hayley's parents.


When he came out of the bathroom, she was not in the room so he went down too after calming himself down. As he entered the kitchen he saw Rebekah standing near Hope siting on a chair which looked strange to him so he asked "what is that?'

Rebekah said giving Hope a spoon of something mushy "what?"

When Klaus pointed at the chair she said "high chair for kids". She looked at him for a second and then said "did you two talk?"

Klaus said confused "about?"

Rebekah looked at him in confusion and said "Hayley said that she is going to talk to you about preg…" then stopped and said "what are you looking at" when she noticed Klaus looking at Hope and then said softly "Nik, she needs.." but he turned and left the kitchen.

He was heading out when he saw her coming out of the powder room. Hayley said "listen I need to talk to you about this new arrangement".

Klaus said still annoyed at what had happened upstairs "what arrangement?"

Hayley took a deep breath as she stopped the gag that she was feeling and didnt feel like him seeing it and said "your father's pack. Are you going to be representing them too?"

Klaus said "I don't know yet. I am going to find more about them and then see but if I decide to become their alpha then Crescent pack will have to accept them".

Hayley said "but we are wolves right now, they are human. How will it work?"

Klaus said "I will figure something out. Right now I am going to see why the harvest didn't work".

Klaus stopped his car outside Sophie's apartment and got out. He knocked at the door and said as a distressed Sophie opened the door "why didnt it work? It should have worked. I have seen it work".

Sophie stepped aside and said "I don't know. I have been thinking the same thing too. I guess that because there was a gap between Davina's death and the other girls it turned out different then expected.

Klaus said "so you still think that those girls will come back".

Sophie rubbed her head and said "they should".

They both spun around as the door banged open and a young black girl entered and said "you completed the harvest Sophie?!"

Sophie said "Sabine, when did you come back and yes we completed it day before yesterday and it didnt work".

Sabine looked at her and then she saw Klaus standing there and said "what is he doing here?"

Klaus said "have we met?"

He couldn't help but notice her expressions faltering but then she said "I know who you are. You are Klaus Mikaelsons".

Sophie said "Klaus this is Sabine. She is also a witch in our coven. She had been on she was moving with an coven learning about an ancient magic. When did you come back Sabine?"

Sabine said "last night and found out from Agnes that harvest failed and that Davina is dead now".

Sophie nodded and went to the kitchen and asked Klaus "how is Andrea?"

Klaus noticed Sabine's eyes narrowing but she didnt say anything so he said "she and Hope both are fine" startling Sophie who said "you…" but he smirked and said "I will talk to you about that later. Right now I need to find out what is going on. It should have worked".

After saying that he left. He went to the compound thinking about what Marcel must be feeling. As he entered the living room he saw him drinking. Marcel looked at him and said sarcastically "it will work. That is what you said right?"

Klaus said "something is going on here. It should have worked".

Marcel stood up angrily and said "you knew it will not work and you deceived me".

Klaus said angrily "why would I lie?"

Marcel said "because Davina was destroying New Orleans and you couldn't not see your precious city destroyed".

Klaus said "yes I couldn't but the harvest should have …" when a punch landed on his face.

He looked at Marcel and said angrily "I know you are grieving but instead of drowning yourself in liquor you should try to figure out why it didnt work" and left.

He went to Rousseau's and looked around and then went straight to two people and looked into their eyes and said "you will help me right now and after you two are done you will forget about everything".

They both stood up and followed Klaus to his car. He stopped the car outside the bayou went straight to Eve and said "there are some men who will help you fix the damage you guy endured with this storm" and without waiting for reply he went away leaving the two men behind him.

Klaus then drove the car to the other side of the bayou and got out after stopping it. He went straight to the huts. He noticed a couple of people skirting around each other as they saw him coming and then he spotted Carry. He went to him and told him about Crescent pack's curse and after some discussion about pro and cons about their situations Klaus left for home at last feeling satisfied and a join decision that he will be representing their pack too provided that he fights for their welfare too. By the time he reached home it was getting dark. He rubbed the back of his neck and entered the house. As he closed the front door behind him he was pinned against the front door by Elijah.

Elijah grabbed him by his throat and said angrily "you lied to me. You knew harvest will not work. You used me to get that girl killed and I promised her that I will keep her safe".

Hayley was coming down the stairs when she saw Elijah holding Klaus. She didnt think anything and dashed to him and said "Elijah what are you doing?" and then she startled as she heard James's excited voice and saw him running in the foyer. He stopped as he saw Elijah and Klaus. Hayley shifted her position and stood between him and them and said "Elijah kids".

Elijah let go of Klaus and said with disappointment "I am done with your games Niklaus. I don't want to be part of whatever is cooking in your mind" and whooshed out of there.

Elijah whooshed to his room and in a few second he had his things packed when he sensed Rebekah behind him who said "what are you doing? You cannot leave. You know how Nik is so why is it bothering you?"

Elijah snapped "because that girl died Rebekah. I promised that girl that I will protect her and because of Niklaus…" he couldn't finish his sentence and picked up his bag and turned when he saw Hayley standing at the door.

Hayley said "Elijah don't go. I am sure Klaus had a reason for doing that".

But Elijah shook his head and headed to the door saying "I am sorry Hayley" and brushed her aside and left before they could do anything to stop him.

Hayley exchanged looks with Rebekah and then stormed to their room and saw him standing near the window gazing out. She said to angrily "tell me you didnt do it on purpose".

Klaus looked at her angrily and went to lie on the bed and folded his arm over his forehead and tried to go to sleep wondering why it didnt work. Hayley stared at him angrily and then went to change her clothes. Klaus was so lost in his thought that he didnt sense her and then he startled as some thing soft touched his hand. He opened his eyes and saw Hope sitting next to him on the bed smiling. He stared at her and turned away from her but then groaned in frustration as she put her hand on his shoulder and tired to see his face.

Hayley came out of the bathroom and saw Hope leaning on Klaus. She sighed and walked to her and picked her up and took her to the crib ignoring her protest and put her in the crib and said to her "I will bring your milk".

Klaus could feel eyes on him. He knew it was Hope because Hayley was in the kitchen. He turned towards her and to his surprise her serious face suddenly broken into the widest smile he had ever seen. She belly laughed and started bouncing at the spot bringing a smile to his lips which immediately change to frown as he remembered that she was Jackson's daughter. At the same time the door opened and Hayley came in with the bottle. She walked to her and laid her down and gave her the bottle.

She went the bed after turning off the lights and laid down. She knew he was up so she said after a few moments of silence "full moon is coming in a week. People will want to know if we have found out who did the bombing".

When there was silence she said "Klaus?"

Klaus took a breath and said "I am listening. I told you what I think. I have talked to Ansel about it and he agrees with me".

Hayley turned to him and said "you never told me about Ansel".

Klaus said "well I did. I will look into it".

Hayley didnt know what to say so she got quiet.

Klaus was staring the ceiling which looked clear as a day to him from his hybrid eyesight and rolled his eyes when she said "and what about your other pack? they will be wolves on full moon. How are you thinking of controlling them?"

Klaus said "I went to Carry, the current alpha of the pack, in the morning and talked to him about our situation and he knows about the curse and he knows what to do. They will stay on the other side of the bayou. We will address this issue with our pack when they turn human".

Hayley said "did you find out who killed that guy?"

Klaus sighed and said "no, I will get on it tomorrow" when she didnt say anything he said "can I sleep now?"

Hayley looked at him and snapped "go to hell" and turned away from him and closed her eyes.

Hayley went to Ansel the very next day after he left the house after handing Hope to Eve first. As she entered his hut she saw him sitting on the floor reading some book with a bowl in front of him with herbs in it. He looked up as he sensed her. She sat opposite him and said "do you know who killed my parents?"

Ansel looked up and said "Klaus shared his theory with you?"

Hayley nodded and said "you must know something".

He said "No, I only know that when I reached their hut they had died and Marcel Gerald was holding you in his arms looking at you. He gave you to me and asked me to look int this matter and if I cannot find who did this he will take matter into his own hand. And the next thing I knew that he had put the curse on the pack except for me. I think because you had only me to take care of you".

Hayley said feeling disappointed "so you don't know?"

Ansel shook his head and said "I am sorry. But I have to say that I agree with Klaus. And now that you are having a baby with him you are more in danger. Firstly because that baby will be labanoir and secondly he will be a hybrid baby".

Hayley stood up nodding and saying "thank you for everything Ansel".

She bend down and kissed him and left.

While Hayley was with Ansel Klaus entered the compound and went straight to the living room and said "I want to know everything about who killed her parents and Marcellus I know that you know something so out with it".

Marcel said drinking "her father was my friend. He called me one day telling me that someone from his pack is trying to kill him and I should find out who because he does not trust anyone. By the time I reached the bayou someone had already killed him and Andrea was in the basinet crying. I had just picked her up when Ansel came so I handed her to him and told him to find out who did that. I started to look for myself too" he stopped and sipped again. He continued after a few seconds "I hired a witch named Emily Deveraux to find that out".

Klaus said impatiently "who killed her parents Marcel?"

Marcel said "Emily did a spell for me and found the guilty party…. it was someone close to them".

Klaus said raising his voice now "who Marcel?"

Marcel said "Achilles".

When Klaus continued to look at him in confusion he said rolling his eyes "Jackson Achilles".

Klaus said in shock "what?"

Marcel said "yes and the funny thing is that Jackson for some reason knew about it. I don't know how but he knew it".

Marcel looked at his expression and said "it was a bad time for Labanoirs. It was not just Achilles after them, they had turned the whole pack against them and the pack was thinking of throwing them off his position so that is where Emily Deveraux came in and I asked her to put a curse on them because the other option was killing all of them but there were kids and women. I let Ansel not be cursed because he was supposed to take care of Andrea and the untriggered wolves too".

Klaus looked at Marcel for a moment when Marcel got up and said "why are you asking me right now?"

Klaus said "the bombing on the pack I think was someone from within the pack and it was targeted on her".

Marcel said "hmm interesting theory. Do you have anything to back that up?"

Klaus said "no but with the information you have given me I can may be look into it. Some one still wants her dead. Jackson is gone. May be he did the bombing but died not realizing the impact of it".

Marcel said at once "No jackson would never put his daughter in danger and as far as my sources tell me he and Andrea were in love. I don't know how she married you".

Marcel looked at his expressions and said "so you have met her now right?"

Klaus nodded and said "how do you know about her?"

Marcel laughed and said "my town. I keep eye on everything and Andrea Labanoir's and Jackson Achilles story is very fascinating".

Klaus looked at him for a moment and then said "thank you Marcel" and left.

When he reached home later that night she was asleep. He looked at the clock in surprise at the time and then left the room after seeing the crib being empty. He went to Rebekah's room as he heard the kid voices and entered and saw Hope playing with some toys on the floor and James sleeping on the bed.

Rebekah was reading the book while looking at Hope on and off when she sensed him and at the same time she saw Hope smile and stood up. Klaus walked in and went to sit on the sofa and said "why is she with you?"

Rebekah said "Hayley was not feeling well so I told her to sleep early and I will take care of Hope" She smiled as Hope went to Klaus and stood near him putting her hand on his thigh.

Klaus suddenly started to feel uncomfortable with that tiny hand on his thigh and said "why what happened to her?"

Rebekah looked at him and then curiously at Hope who was now trying to get on his lap and said "she has not been feeling well since her pregnancy started. A lot of morning sickness".

Klaus stared at her wondering 'why didn't he know' at the same time seeing Hope struggling to get on him.

Rebekah seemed to have read his mind and said "she didnt want to worry you probably" and then she said with a smile looking at Hope "Nik she needs you" as Klaus put Hope aside and stood up.

Klaus looked at Hope who was now holding the sofa and looking at him with serious expressions and left without saying anything.

He changed his clothes and picked up a book and started to read it after lying down on the sofa but couldn't dwell into it as he kept thinking of what he found out from Marcel and then about Hope and didnt know when the went to sleep.

Rebekah knocked at the door and entered carrying the sleeping Hope in her lap. She laid her gently in the crib, stopped as he noticed Klaus on the sofa and left shaking her head.

Next morning when she woke up she saw the space next to him empty. She got up holding her stomach, tried to control her gag but then said "shit" and ran to the bathroom. When she came out she saw him sitting on the sofa holding his head in his hand. He looked at her as she came out and said "why didnt you tell me that you are not feeling well?"

Hayley didnt say anything for a moment and then said "I went to Ansel to find out who killed my parents but it was a bust. Have you found out anything new".

Klaus said after staring at her for a moment "no" and went to the bathroom.

When he came out she was gone.

He changed his clothes and left the house without seeing her.

Hayley was sitting drinking coffee when she started thinking of why the spell to break the curse has not worked and then she got up and decided to ask Sophie about it.

She was getting really agitated so she picked Hope up and decided to go see Sophie. As she got out of the car and walked towards Rousseau's she was approached by someone whom she recognized from Marcel's army and she said to him with irritation "don't you dare say anything to me?", side stepped him and headed to the Rousseau's.

Hayley picked up Hope and headed toward Rousseau's. As she entered Cami walked to her and said "Hayley… Andrea right?"

When she nodded Cami said "kids are not allowed here and I thought you were a …. " she looked around and said "wolf".

Hayley just looked at her suddenly remembering Klaus and him on the full moon night and said coldly "I am going to the back room to meet Sophie".

She dashed to the back room leaving Cami bewildered.

Klaus left the compound feeling agitated thinking where Marcel was and how to take him down and headed toward Rousseau's to drown himself in liquor.

the bar a few minutes later and asked Cami for a bourbon when she said "your wife is the in the back room".

Klaus wondered why she was here and headed to the back room when she heard a voice that belonged to Sophie "so you got pregnant. Good for you. It worked then. Now you can spend some more time with Hope".

He stood there in shock and then said "but what about afterwards. If I am unable to break the curse until the baby is born what will I do then".

He waited for a moment and then heard Sophie say "we will cross that bridge when the time comes. I am sure he will fall for you and you will be able to break the curse by then".

Klaus couldn't bear to hear anymore to he left.

Hayley said "Sophie if I do that while being pregnant the baby will be in danger too. I think I will wait till the pregnant is over".

Sophie looked at her and said "do you miss him?"

Hayley said looking at Hope eating the carrot that Sophie had handed her over "yes I do but my life is with Klaus now and I have that curse to work on so I don't have luxury to think about him".

Sophie said with smile "and how is that going? You are pregnant so I supposed that you both are …" she didnt intentionally finish her sentence.

Hayley sighed and said "yes we are. We are married and Klaus wants us to be like a couple and I too think that may be this will lead to something. Right now it is just meaningless sex but may be in future it will become something else".

Sophie said "I hope so".

She didnt say anything for a minute and then said "it will come as a surprise but he has started to grow on me".

Hayley laughed and said "me too" and then she picked up Hope and said "I am going. Hope's nap time. Good catching up. We should do it more now that I have more time then ever".

They hugged each other and then Hayley left.

Klaus left the bar angrily and stood in the street for a minute thinking of what Hayley had done ever since she had met him and he came to the conclusion that it all goes back to the curse so he decided to dig into that now so he whooshed to the compound. As he entered the courtyard Marcel approached him and said "I don't want to see you …"

Klaus cut him off by saying "I am not in a mood for one of your melt down again Marcel. I want to find out where I can find detail about the Crescent pack, their family ledger?"

Marcel said "Ansel can help you".

Klaus headed towards the door when Thierry came in the room and said "something happened in the cemetery".

Marcel said casually "what?"

Thierry looked at Klaus and said "a harvest girl came back. Monique Devereaux".

Marcel and Klaus looked at each other and headed towards the exit.

A couple of minutes later he entered the cemetery and saw people gathering around a girl. And then he turned around as he saw Sophie running towards the girl. She stopped short of her and hugged her. Marcel and Klaus exchanged look and Klaus said in a matter of fact town "here is your harvest".

and left the cemetery.

Klaus entered the house steaming in anger still thinking of her and Sophie's conversation. When he went to his room, she had already gone to sleep. He stood there looking at her replaying the conversation he had overheard between her and Sophie and cursed her for using him that way. He looked towards the crib and walked to her and saw that she was sleeping so he went to the bathroom and after changing his clothes he went to lie on the sofa. He stared at the ceiling for a couple of minutes and then got up angrily and went to her and got under the covers with her.

Hayley stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes and saw him but then she was turning away from him when he grabbed her arm and leaned in to kiss her. She was so taken back by his kiss after being distinct and acting that way for the past couple of week that she pushed him away from her and said in a low voice as to not disturb Hope "what are you doing?"

Klaus smirked "satisfying my urges".

and kissed her lips agains and then moved his lips to her jawline. Hayley squirmed under his kiss but then she chided herself and pushed him away and said "you cannot just come and have sex with me after behaving that way for so many weeks".

Klaus said sarcastically "why now?! because now that you have gotten what you wanted from me".

When Hayley looked at him in confusion he snapped "you got pregnant on purpose. You knew that you can get pregnant and that is why you were so eager to have sex with me".

Hayley scooted back and said "how do you…"

Klaus snapped again "a word of advice. This is a town full of vampires so if you want to discuss you plans with someone do it somewhere where no one can hear you. I heard you and Sophie. What were you doing in French Quarter? If someone saw you they would have wondered why you are not a wolf?"

Hayley looked stared at him wondering is he ashamed of their child but then she shook her head and open her mouth to say something when he got up and started towards the sofa so she went after him and said "i did it for Hope. She needed me. With me being a wolf, someone had to stay with her. I am her mother and she was…"

Klaus cut her off by saying angry "I don't want to hear anything Hayley. I just want to have sex with you. Are you interested or not?"

Hayley stared at the anger on his face and then nodded slightly remembering what she had said to Sophie. He grabbed her by her arms and kissed her angrily on her lips and whooshed her to the bed. He pinned her under him and started undressing her. Hayley suddenly said as his lips moved to her neck "Klaus what if Hope gets up".

Klaus murmured while kissing her neck "she cannot see anything but if you are scared then …" he pulled the sheet on them in a blink of an eye.

Hayley could see actual anger bubbling in him through every kiss, in his touch. He snapped the buttons of her shirt off and when she tried to touch this chest he jerked her hands away angrily. She snapped "Klaus!" Their eyes met for a second and then he got off of her and went to the bathroom and banged the door shut startling Hope.

As the door closed he heard Hope crying and cursed himself but didnt come out. He went to the sink and threw water on his face and stood there looking at his reflection thinking about what to do. A couple of seconds later he heard quiet and Hayley saying "shh everything is okay. I am here now" and it hit him how much she wanted to be with Hope and what she said about her pregnancy being about Hope. At that moment he wanted to believe her but there was so much getting out slowly that he couldn't bring himself to trust her. After a few moments he came out and saw that she was sitting on the bed lost in thought. She looked at him and said "are things going to be like this between us from now onwards?"

Klaus didnt know what to say so he went to the sofa and was lying down when she said "no, you cannot sleep there. You told me once that we are married and we need to share this bed".

Klaus gave her one angry look and then ignoring her he rested his head on the pillow and closed his eyes when he sensed her standing near him and then she got on him balancing herself on her knees on either side of his torso taking him by surprise and leaned in to kiss him smack on his lips. When he tried to look away she grabbed his chin by her right hand and kissed him hard moving her left hand under his shirt and lifted it up and then took her lips to his stomach and trailed the kisses from her stomach to his chest.

Klaus couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed her by her shoulders and pulled her shirt apart and discarded it on the carpet and then took his off while her hands went back and flipped her bra claps open. He pushed her in the upright position and looked at her naked breast and then pulled himself in the sitting position too so that her legs went across his torso and his lips met hers and his arms went around her and he pulled her closer and moved his lips to her neck while she moaned and grabbed his hair in her hand and pulled him towards her. Her hands were aggressively moving on his back and his on her back and his lips were exploring each part of her face and then he moved his lips down to her collarbone and moving down while bending her upper body backwards and finally his lips came in contact with her breasts grabbing the peaks in his lips. Hayley moaned loudly as she threw her head back further and then as she felt his hand went to the pajama belt she pulled herself in the sitting position and help him get them off of her and did the same to his. She could feel his need to take her. Klaus looked into her eyes and moved his fingers in between her legs and started massaging it while with the other hand pressed her body against his as her body jerked with the pleasure. She moaned "Klaus" when his lips moved to her neck and moved to the front of the neck moving down to just above her breast while his hands continue to torture her. She grabbed his hair in a fist and made him look at her and pleaded "please". Klaus removed his fingers and entered her and started moving her. Hayley was so high by this time that she was not thinking straight. She just wanted him to let go and as she started to move against him she pulled his head towards her breast and held it there as she kept on moving up and down and then she screamed lightly as his lips bit the peaks of her breast and he came on. He held her in that position tightly breathing against her body; the only sound in the quiet of the night was that of their breathing. Klaus took deep breaths, looked into her eyes and said "you are vixen you know".

She smiled and said "I know" and was getting up from him when he pulled her back and asked "how long do you think you can keep this up?"

Hayley said "as long as you come to realize that we are in this for long haul even if we don't fall in love with each other".

Klaus stared at her when she grabbed his hand and put it on her stomach reminding him of what was underneath and said "and we are having this child too so you are in over head now and cannot get out it".

Klaus looked down at her stomach and said coldly "I am not a father material".

She looked towards the crib where Hope was sleeping and thought of how he had been behaving with her and said unable to keep bitterness out of her voice "well I have heard people act differently with their own blood" and then got up from him. She picked up her discarded pajamas and started to wear them where as Klaus stared at her thinking of what she had said knowing fully well that she was talking about Hope. He picked up his discarded pajamas and put it on and laid on the sofa when she turned to him after putting her shirt on "really?!"

He looked at her knowing what she was saying and went to the bed. He went to sleep thinking of Hope, her and the baby that will be coming in their lives.

For the next few days Hayley visited bayou in the morning with Hope, Rebekah and James dealing with small issues faced by the untriggered members of her pack whereas Klaus had gotten the Crescent ledger from Ansel and he was studying that these days. There was this wall between them that Hayley had been unable to break. She had tried to talk to him, she had even stopped thinking of Jackson too, with effort scratched every memory of him to completely focus on the task at hand, tried to engage him in sex but suddenly he had lost interest in everything related to her. His behavior with Hope was so cold that it literally hurt her. She could see her wanting attention from him, the more she tried to go to him the more he distanced himself from her. Rebekah was a really great help. She loved Hope and often took her with her to give Hayley a break as she had been not feeling well with morning sickness and lack of sleep. Hayley found it very interesting that every time Hope would see Klaus she would try to reach out to him making her wonder 'why and when did she get so attach to him?'

He was sitting on the bed reading the ledger he had taken from Ansel one morning when he noticed Hope standing in the crib looking at him. She smiled at him and started rattling the railings of the crib as he looked at her and then she started talking gibberish which Klaus couldn't understand so he looked around and wondered where Hayley was.

Hayley was taking shower when she heard her voice which started to get louder with each passing second so she hurried up and got out and saw Klaus standing near her and she rattling the crib. As she saw Klaus slightly raised his hands towards her to get her out she jumped excitedly with the biggest smile on her face and raised her hands to be lifted up when he saw her standing there and to her disappointment he retreated his hand back and went in the bathroom and closed the door behind him. Hayley walked to her and saw her looking towards the bathroom door and her heart broke. She smiled and picked her up and said "I love you".

Klaus was standing under the shower thinking about what had happened when he heard her say "I love you".

He turned off the shower in frustration and got out and saw that she was not in the room.

She stood in the kitchen seeing him leave the house and sighed and gave Hope the banana she was holding. It was mid afternoon when she got a call from Sophie. By that time she had been feeling emotionally and physically tired so much so that she couldn't bring up the courage to go to bayou too. Sophie asked her "have you had your checkup?"

Hayley said "no I have not. It is still early Sophie" getting Hope down the counter and smiled at Rebekah who said "I am going out to shopping. Want to go?"

Hayley shook her head and said "thanks" and then said to Sophie "have you figured out why didn't it work?"

Sophie said "no. So i was thinking I know that doctor in the bayou. May be she can check you out".

Hayley said distractedly "no Sophie not right now".

There was quiet for a second when Sophie said "it is his birthday today. How are you feeling?"

Hayley stared at Hope who was playing with the table mats on the table in the living room and said "I am okay. I don't think i will ever completely forget him but it is becoming easier not too…." when she saw the table mats fell on the carpet.

She sighed and said "i will call you" and head to Hope and picked her up saying with frustration "I told you not to touch that!" and carried her upstairs after picking up the wooden bowl from the ground.

Rebekah had been gone for a couple of hours and she had just put Hope to sleep. She was feeling very jittery so she decided to go to the bayou but then she thought why disturb Hope so she slightly left the door open and came downstairs wondering 'how can she make Klaus fall for her. Will having sex with him on continuous basis change his mind or will he ever accept Hope in his life or this child for that matter. What should she do to show him that she cares about him. Does she care about him?' All these thoughts were running through her mind when she heard the door bell. She sighed and open it and saw Sophie standing with Sabine.

Sophie said "I thought that I might cheer you up. You sounded tired today. Now that you are not going to the doctors for checkup I thought may be we can find out something fun".

She led them inside and said "what?"

Sabine said "I can find out if it is a boy or a girl"

Hayley laughed and said "it is too early. I am only 5 weeks pregnant".

Sabine said "oh come one. It will be fun. We were right last time". She smiled.

Hayley thought for a moment and then said "alright why not?!"

She laid on the sofa whereas Sabine took a pendant and held her over her stomach and it started to moved backwards and forward. So she said "you are having a boy this time Andrea".

Hayley sat up and said "what?!" and then Sabine suddenly got weird and started twitching and started chanting something in a weird language.

Hayley looked at Sophie and said "what is gong on?"

Sophie touched Sabine's shoulder startling her. Sabine stood up and said recovering from daze "I have to go now". Sophie and Hayley exchange looks but then she said "okay I will leave too now. You rest" leaving her confused and for some reason apprehensive about some thing.

Late in the night when Klaus entered the room he saw Hope sitting on the floor near his bed side table and ripping some papers from a book and Hayley not in the room. He went to her and took it from her hand gently when she screamed in protest and at the same time bathroom door opened and Hayley came out.

Hayley looked at Hope who was standing next to Klaus and he was holding a book in his hand and with papers ripped out on the ground. All the frustration that she had been feeling on Klaus and their situation got the better of her and she darted to Hope and grabbed her hand and smacked it on her hand taking Hope and Klaus both by surprise and said with annoyance "I told you not to touch that".

Klaus said in shock "Hayley!" as Hope stared at her in shock and then she started crying. Seeing those fat tears coming from her eyes broke Klaus's heart but before he could recover Hayley picked up Hope and took her to the crib and put her in it angrily and left the room.

Klaus stood there shocked not knowing what to do and then he saw her crying and rubbing her eyes with her tiny fists. He impulsively went to her and picked her up but the door opened and Hayley entered. She stopped when she saw him with her in his arms. She darted to him and took her from him angrily and put her on the mattress and gave her the bottle and said angrily "go to sleep now" and started towards the bed when Klaus held her by her arm and said coldly "why are you taking out frustration on me on that child?"

She said with annoyance "she is my child Klaus. I can do what ever I want to do with her".

Klaus lost it and said angrily "no you cannot. She is not just your child. She is mine too now so take care". He looked at her angry expressions changing to surprise and realized what had he said and felt flustered but what she said next made blew his fuse.

Hayley was so taken back by his comment that she said the first thing that came to her mind "dont even think of becoming her father. You are not her father. Jackson is her father".

Klaus stepped closer to her and snapped at her "Jackson is dead. I am all she has now" while Hope continued to cry. They were both so angry and loud that they didnt hear the knock but startled when Rebekah peeked in and said "you guys need to keep it down".

She darted to now a wailing Hope who had stood up again and picked her up and put her against her shoulder. As soon as her head touched Rebekah's shoulder her crying subsided and became soft sobs.

She turned to them and said "you need to resolve this because your fighting affects her too" and headed to the door when Hayley suddenly said in a loud voice "where are you taking her?"

Rebekah turned slowly towards her and said "to my room".

Hayley said harshly "no" and took her form Rebekah a bit aggressively making Klaus's eyes go narrow. He said "what is going on with you?"

Rebekah said calmly "Nik. it is okay".

Hayley kissed now calmed down Hope and put her down and took a deep breath before turning towards them and said "I am sorry Rebekah. I don't know what happened".

Rebekah said with a smile "it is your hormones. You are pregnant and then you lost the father of your child and you are a wolf so I am guessing they are more heightened then others".

She smiled and continued "if you need a break from Hope or from my imbecile brother you can come to my room. I am up".

Hayley shook her head and said "no I am fine. thanks".

Rebekah looked at them for a moment and then slowly retreated. As the door closed he said "are you feeling okay now?"

She turned to him slowly and said with annoyance "don't patronize me Klaus. If you want to comfort me then have sex with me otherwise shut up"

Klaus still recovering from what had happened laughed and said "really?! is that what pregnancy does to a person?" He looked at her frustrated face and said "no. You can comfort yourself" and went to the walking closet to change his clothes.

She stood there feeling frustration and then took a deep breath and decided to take a long shower to calm herself down. When Klaus came out a couple of minutes later she was not in the room and the bathroom door was closed. He stood there looking at the closed door for a second and then went to her crib and looked down at her sleeping peacefully. Seeing her innocent face now calmed down made her relive everything that had happened not more then fifteen minutes ago and he felt sorry for her. He gently pulled the blanket on her and impulsively touched her wavy hair and went to the bed and laid down. At the sound of the door opening he looked at her and then turned in the other direction as she got under the covers next to him and went to sleep thinking of his attitude with Hope and how it was affecting her and Hayley.

Next morning when he woke up she was still asleep so he got up and went towards the bathroom but stopped and turned towards the crib and saw her still sleeping. He didnt know he was smiling and then he saw her stir a little bit so he turned and went to the bathroom.

When she woke up she saw that he was not next to her. She laid there in frustration and then she sighed as she heard Hope's voices. She stood up and went to her and picked her up and put her against her shoulder and kissed her and whispered "mommy is so sorry about yesterday. Mommy was just tired".

She kissed her again on her forehead and startled as their bathroom door opened and he stepped out. Their eyes met for a second and then he said "with last night drama I forgot to tell you harvest girls are back".

Hayley said "what?!"

Klaus looked at Hope who was looking at him with her head on Hayley's shoulder and remembered how badly she had cried when she had spanked her hand and said regretting his attitude towards her "yes Monique Deveraux is back".

Hayley said "Monique is back. Sophie must be so happy. I will call her but why did she come so late".

Klaus said "because the harvest was not completed in time so it will take some time for others to return to".

Hayley smiled and said "okay that is good. Why don't you call Elijah and tell him about …" but stopped as she noticed his eyes narrowing.

He then said "today is full moon. I want us to go and address this pack issue with Crescent wolves".

When she didnt say anything he stared at them with Hope in her lap and her head resting on Hayley's shoulder and eyes on him. There was something on her face that made Klaus feel guilty about something. He couldnt keep on looking at her so he abruptly left the room.
