"I feel weird in a human's body, for once." "Well, Mother, it's better than mine." Rebekah said. I smiled a little, watching their exchange. "Certainly a mother-daughter bonding moment." Katherine smirked. "Now that you have a new body, and, have proved our trust, what is Mikael doing alive? And why did you hex Marcel?" Klaus asked. "I realized to get to you; I had to make you think the people you care about most were trying to kill your daughter… And her mother." Esther said, guiltily turning to face me. I nodded, keeping my eyes trained on Klaus. "Little Wolf, you are incredibly brave." He told me as he pulled me closet to him on the couch. I sipped some water and looked around the room. Everyone was here; Elijah, Rebekah, Katherine, Marcel, Esther, Klaus, and myself. This family gets big.
Esther stood up and started pacing. "There is one mistake I should have mentioned. I am not alone. I did not bring back Mikael, but I did bring back Kol and Finn. They know about you, but only Finn is in the mindset to kill you." She said facing me. And this family gets bigger. "Great." "I have a theory; that Finn is working for Mikael." Katherine said. "What?" We asked. She stood up, ready to give a big lecture. "Oh, it's quite simple, really. Why else would he want to kill Hayley and the baby? Esther says that Finn is loyal to his parents. If he's not loyal to her…" "Then he must be loyal to Mikael." I finished.
"I heard you were talking about me." A voice said from the door. "Ah, yes. Welcome, little brother." Klaus said. He pulled me onto his lap, earning an eyebrow raise from his brother. "Hayley, this is our brother Kol; Kol, this is Hayley. She is carrying my child." Kol walked over to me, lifted my hand, kissed it, and said, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Hayley." "You can call me Hayley." I replied. He looked to Klaus, who just shrugged and started to kiss me hard, to my delight. "Did I miss something…? Or… Is Hayley, here, more than just carrying your child…?" Kol said, as he watched us kiss. I laughed as I broke away from Klaus. "Hayley and I share a very special bond, Kol." I smiled, before feeling the urge to throw up again. I went to the bathroom, with Klaus following quickly. He knelt beside me, and I could hear the others whispering. I looked to Klaus, who said, "We can still hear you, you know!" I laughed as I heard it get quiet, before we walked out.
"Dear Marcel, here, was informing me on your relationship." Kol said. I rolled my eyes and Klaus said, "How many lies did you tell, Marcellus?" He shrugged. "None." Rebekah spoke for him. "Aw, standing up for the boyfriend, are we?" Katherine asked, with a hint of a smirk on her face. "No, I'm telling the truth. Right Esther?" I turned to Esther, who nodded.
"Now, can we turn me back into a vampire? Please, Esther? Please?" Katherine whined. "I suppose I could whip up a formula, but it could take a few days." She paused. "But, we also have to get the cure out of your system." Katherine nodded, snuggling closer into Elijah's embrace. Kol looked at them with wide eyes. "Okay, who are you and what have you done with my family?" He said, "Was there an alien invasion while I was dead?" We all laughed at Kol's sense of humor. So, to lighten the mood, we decided to get the ball rolling with some joke telling.
Klaus went first. "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Orange." "Orange who?" "Orange -ya glad I didn't say banana?" We laughed at the incredibly cheesy joke. Katherine went next, "What did the shovel say to the bucket?" "I don't know, what?" "You look pail." We laughed again. This continued for a while, before I decided I was tired and headed up to bed. Klaus followed me, of course. I didn't mind. I never minded. Today was pretty fun, over all.
