Previously, on Double Hearted, Klaus brought Hayley to her new home at the compound and expressed to Elijah their current issues, after which Klaus tried to make amends with the mother of his child with no success. Sophie won the war with Agnes and was still chosen as the rightful Elder of the coven, while Marcel and Cami decided to go on their separate ways at last. Afterwards, Klaus and Elijah negotiated a truce with Rowan Labonair and Victor Kenner, as to keep away from the succession of the packs. Finally, Jackson and Andrea's wedding was held with Klaus and Hayley sharing a dance and a talk.

PLOT: One month after Jackson and Andrea's wedding, everything and everyone is at peace, as Klaus and Hayley grow closer at the compound and finally decide on something to make the future of their child easier. Hayley consults Sophie about the possibility of having an abnormal pregnancy, while Elijah makes a big move in his relationship with Camille. Something unexpected happens between Marcel and Sophie, as a festivity and a ceremony is held at the compound on a very special night, in which Hayley invites her family. Finally, a scandal is raised by a Labonair twin when Klaus makes his intentions with Hayley and their child public.

He had watched their child grow in her belly every day for the past month. Klaus Mikaelson's only thoughts were on the way he would rip the heads off of any people who would dare come after them. Elijah had assured him that they were taking the best precautions. Sophie had convinced her witches to make a final truce with the vampires and end their war. With the marriage between Jackson and Andrea, the werewolves felt more at ease as well, even though Rowan was starting to have second thoughts about having Hayley stay with the one and only Klaus Mikaelson, in the city. It had become a power-grab for him. Sure, Hayley was his daughter but there came a time when he realized that for him, his pack's pride and safety meant more than the happiness of his own daughter. Even though Klaus had agreed to make Ansel's diary null and renounce his claim on the North East Atlantics, Victor Kenner would not waste any day to try and poison Rowan's mind against the Mikaelsons and now, the future grandchild and tribrid, which was nestled in Hayley's womb.

Everyone was becoming more and more certain that the baby Hayley was carrying would either bring this city greatness, or it would destroy them all, because it is nothing they had ever seen before. An immortal could not procreate with a mortal and yet…it has happened. As for the relationship of the parents of this child…some would say that they could sense how madly in love they were just through their gazes. Other would say that they were trying to form a bond just for the sake of their child. But the truth was that it was complicated for them. Klaus refused to kiss her that night at the wedding of her sister, knowing well that he wanted her to admit her feelings for him before he would proceed to show her any more romantic affections. It was torture for her, and he knew that well. But it was his way of protecting his ego, making sure that he didn't become the prey, letting go of his restrains, as he did the night they first slept together. She had seduced him to a point when he had lost control. But that would not happen again. He took care, for the matter…to show her the affections a man would show the mother of his child…not a possible lover.

However, he still could not know how she felt about this. Did she understand his intentions and refused to play along and fall as the prey herself, or was she oblivious and truly felt nothing more towards him than care for the father of her child? He had observed her getting closer to Elijah over the past few weeks…and he didn't like it one bit, especially since he knew of the brothers' history with sharing women. Klaus was snapped out of his thoughts when one of the maids approached him with a small smile on her face. "The dress you have arranged to be made for your lady, Mr. Mikaelson, is ready." "Let me see it." Klaus demanded at once and the maid bowed and then went to retrieve the dress for him. This was his final act. After a month of waiting, Klaus felt he was torturing himself more than he was torturing her. So he was willing to push into this just a little bit more. Just a bit more…until he would see her true desires, her true feelings…using this dress for instance.

"Purple, just like you asked!" The seamstress brought the dress forward and Klaus smirked, staring at it. "Yes, you have done a fantastic job indeed, love and you will be well rewarded for this." "Should I leave it to you or should I take it to the lady's bedroom myself, Mr. Mikaelson?" the maid asked, as soon as the seamstress left after being paid fairly. Klaus was about to send her off, but realized what he was trying to do with this dress and smirking, he told the maid, "You may take it up to her room at this very moment. Tell her it is a gift from me to the mother of my child. Use these exact words." Klaus' teeth were shown through the smile as the maid nodded and took the dress up to Hayley's room. He could sense how much it bothered her whenever he would call her or present her to others as "the mother of his child". Klaus was expecting an explosion of anger from her room…but there was none. The maid came back and said, "She said that it is very thoughtful." "Did she like it?" "Yes, for a moment she did seem interested, but then she went to the nursery and…" "And?" "She started writing what seemed to be a letter." Klaus' smile disappeared. The woman was getting more and more on his nerves.

Taking a deep breath, he sent the maid off and slowly made his way upstairs. He knew he had to be careful this time. She could have been playing with him, making it look like she was not interested in him or his gifts, when in fact…she was. The sun was shining brightly that morning. He slowly made his way to the nursery, the one he had prepared just a few days after Jackson and Andrea's marriage. He spared no expense. The nursery looked magical. Everything was perfect for their newborn child, while a small wolf plush toy was waiting for the infant when it would be born. They didn't even know the gender as of yet. Hayley didn't want to know, wanting for it to be a surprise. Klaus saw that the door to the nursery was slightly opened and the sunrise was shinning beautifully through it and most importantly, it made Hayley look radiant, as she was sitting in the rocking chair, writing. Trying to take his mind off of her beauty, Klaus leaned against the door, staring at her…more like admiring her. "Writing a love letter to a suitor, are you, love?" Hayley looked up, in shock that he had been standing there and she had not sensed him at all.

Klaus smiled and asked, "Who might the lucky recipient be? Elijah, perhaps? Or have you found someone else who sparks your interest?" Hayley still didn't say anything and returned to her writing, with a small smile now playing on her face, a little annoyed but was somehow enjoying the tease. She heard his gasp and immediately looked up. "Don't tell me it's me!" This statement made a small laugh erupt from her and she started blushing insanely. "I thought I was out of the running ages ago, little wolf." Klaus continued saying, which made Hayley roll her eyes. "And the award for biggest ego goes to…" They both started laughing for a small moment, until he caught sight of her, rubbing her belly. "How is our littlest wolf?" he asked softly and Hayley stated, "I am showing a little but it's hard to tell anything after just one month." Klaus nodded and then he did something which took her by surprise completely. He got down on one knee in front of her and she gasped, "Klaus…" But she had been wrong…this wasn't at all what it looked like and Hayley was afraid that she had made a fool out of herself when she watched him touch her belly with his palm. "What is it?" he asked her. "Nothing." Hayley responded, too sudden.

Feeling her tense up…Klaus knew. But he had no intention of pulling away from her this easily. Staring into her hazel eyes, he asked, "Does the dress fit you?" he asked softly, the intensity in their gaze growing. "I…I haven't tried it on. What's the occasion?" she asked him in a whisper. She could feel his face getting closer to hers as he leaned in and whispered against her lips, "You're exquisite." Hayley closed her eyes and waited for something to happen…but it didn't. With some disappointment left in her heart, she opened her eyes and noticed that he was staring at her. He was not making a move. He was waiting for her, and she caught up on that. "Why are you doing this?" she finally asked him and Klaus frowned. "Whatever do you mean, love?" "You know what I mean. You feel on sending me gifts, but you are making it seem like it is nothing but appreciation for the mother of your child…and then you constantly come to me and your eyes show that you're expecting something from me." He didn't answer and just continued to stare at her as she whispered, "You want me to make the first move." He then looked away from her, stood up and started walking out of the nursery.

Gaping, she stood up after him and held onto his arm. "Klaus don't do this! You didn't have to go through any of this! If this is about your ego…I can understand but…" She cupped his cheeks and pressed herself even closer to him. "It is clear as day to everyone how you feel about me." "Little wolf, I didn't mean…" "It's okay." She cut him off. She continued by saying, "It is okay. You're right. You have shown me a lot of how you feel, while I have barely shown you how I feel." Klaus shook his head and cupped her cheek, saying, "It was never my intention to make you feel this uncomfortable, Hayley." "You haven't. You have only made me realize what I want." Leaning in, she kissed him passionately, keeping her hands on his face to keep herself balanced, while he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer and kissing her back. Minutes later, they pulled back, their lips still hovering over one another's. He was smiling from ear to ear, making a smile appear on her face too. "My, my…you have gone soft, from the feisty little wolf you used to be, love."

"Motherhood must have changed me already…but trust me…your feisty little wolf is still here, just waiting for something to ignite the fire." Klaus smirked at her response, but then he held her hands gently, and pressed feather-like kisses on them, making her fall in love with him even more. "I have had this thought for quite some time…and I remember I even mentioned this to your father a month ago, when I signed his treaty. I know of a way…to make our lives simpler for the sake of our child." "What?" Hayley asked him, eager to hear about it. "I would like to ask your hand in marriage, Hayley." He was looking at her with most seriousness and it was making her knees buckle out of excitement. "I…I don't know what I can…" "Say? There is no need for you to say any more but yes." "Klaus, you are talking about marriage!" "I am perfectly aware of that, little wolf." "Marriage is something sacred between two people and it is a big commitment." "Are you suggesting that I am not made for such a thing?" "No…of course not. I just don't think that…I don't think that you really want to do this." "And whatever gives you that idea?" "You are the Original Hybrid. You lived many lifetimes. You never got married but now you want to do it?"

"To the woman carrying my child, yes, I believe I wish to do it." "No…you don't." The teasing had started and Klaus could see the smirk now forming on her face. "Is this your way of playing with me, love?" "Maybe. You played with me for a long time and now it's my turn." Her smile disappeared and then she told him, "I just don't want you to think that marriage is easy. And what if you get bored or even worse than that? Klaus, I am not going to be young like this forever, you know?" "Yes, I know." "Then how are you planning on pulling this off even if I do say yes?" "I prefer to live in now…in the present and stop question the future this often. So, what do you say, love? Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Hayley smiled and nodded, kissing his palm, as he whispered, "Forgive me…I shouldn't have given you a ring, not a dress…" "No, I don't need any jewelry. If you want to marry me, I will marry you, Klaus. I just want to be sure that…" "You will be given the most proper attention and care I could ever offer. Including my non-beating heart." He leaned in to kiss her one more time.

She was very tempting and he wanted to make love to her right there, but something in his mind and heart told him to wait. "When do you wish for our wedding to happen, love? Would you like for me to make the arrangements right away?" "That depends. Are you in a hurry to marry me?" she asked him with one eyebrow raised. "Perhaps…" "Then you choose. In a few days, maybe…" "The day after tomorrow. A grand celebration after the ceremony is to be held here at the compound, and you may of course invite your family from the swamps…" "Klaus…" Hayley started saying with annoyed tone at his insult, making him chuckle. "I couldn't help myself." He gave her a final kiss, caressed her belly through her clothes and then he walked out of the nursery, leaving her with her hand touching her lips and a smile which could only melt someone's heart. What could have taken away her happiness? She had a child on the way and now, she would get married to the obnoxious and temperamental hybrid she loved. Hayley didn't know what his plans for the future were, but she decided to let him lead the way for now.

The knock on the door started her and she smiled when she saw Sophie standing there. "Hey, can I come in?" "Of course. I was actually waiting for you to show up." Hayley let her in and Sophie rolled her eyes. "I am sure that you forgot all about our meeting. What's going on with Klaus? I know I've seen him smile before but never this much." "Well, he just asked me to marry him. He thinks that it will be good for the baby if it grows up in a natural family home with the mother and father together. And I agree." "But you do love him. Anyone can see that." "Yeah…I think I do." "Think? Don't be silly. You know, you may still be that wild wolf girl…but something's changed in you. In a good way. After a month, you look like a woman all ready to settle down with a family of her own and leave the explorations at home." "I am still that wild wolf girl, trust me. But I can feel a little difference. I feel…maybe more mature than I used to be. Now that I am going to be a mother, I realize that I will have to put someone's life above my own." "I'm sure you'll be a great mom and Klaus…well…we can hope for the best." The two shared a laugh, before Sophie's eyes directed towards her belly. "Speaking about the baby, how's it going in there?"

Hayley smiled and caressed her stomach. "I am showing a little after a month, but there is not much…no kicks…nothing." "You can't expect the baby to kick after only a month. You have to wait a little longer. It's just a little fetus in there. It has to develop." "I am only twenty, Sophie. I'm pretty young to be a mother, don't you think?" Sophie frowned and shook her head. "No. The only thing I am worried about…is what exactly you are hiding in that stomach of yours. That fetus…in what exactly is it going to transform into?" "That's a good question. I've actually been wondering if you can find out for me." Hayley said and Sophie nodded. "I've already done some research. I've asked a couple of friends too. From what it looks like, it is most likely going to be a tribrid, just like people are thinking it will. Vampire, werewolf and witch. A combination of the three…most probably to inherit the best from all three species." Hayley smiled and asked, "And that's a good thing, isn't it?" "Maybe for the baby, it is a good thing, but I am not sure if it will be a good thing for you?" "When you go into labor, Hayley, I am trying to tell you that it might be difficult to succeed." Sophie said more softly.

She could see the wolf girl's eyes showing worry and concern, as she touched her belly. "What? Are you saying that I might not be able to pull it off? That my baby could die?" "Shhh!" Sophie snapped and went to close the door. "For God's sake, if Klaus hears this, he will make me leave this place and never come back. Don't freak out, okay? I am not saying that will happen. I am just telling you that this can be a possibility. You have to be prepared for what's worse. The worse can come at any time. No tribrid has ever existed on this Earth. That's why I am telling you that it might be hard for you to take the pain that can come with the contractions and…" Sophie stopped talking when she saw how terrified Hayley had become. "You know what? This was a bad idea! I shouldn't have said anything. Klaus is going to kill me." "Why is Klaus going to kill you? Wait…did he know about this?" Sophie rubbed her forehead for a moment and then admitted, "Yeah, both he and Elijah knew about this already." "Oh really? And no one thought that they should inform the mother who has to endure all the hard work put into giving birth?" Hayley snapped at her and crossed her hands over her chest.

"It was their idea to keep this from you, Hayley! And don't be pissed at Klaus! He knows you have been through a lot and he didn't want to stress you any further. Elijah too." Hayley was still fuming with anger. "Maybe I should just call off the wedding and not tell Klaus about it! I am sure that I will have lots of laughs about that." "Hayley, you're over thinking things, alright? Just take it easy and relax. We have a long way to go before you actually give birth. Everything is going to be okay. I promise. And if you ever need anything…just know that you have me to back you up." "Thanks." Sophie decided to leave that nuthouse as soon as possible, but not before admitting to Klaus, when he questioned her, that Hayley knew the truth. Sophie then witnessed a major fight between the two, which only ended up with Hayley pressed against the wall, with her legs wrapped around his waist as Klaus was passionately kissing her, making her moan very loudly.

…

The preparations were moving fast and Elijah couldn't have been more proud of his brother for having decided to make this important move in his relationship with Hayley. "I believe that she and the child she carries have managed to bring out the true you, after all, Niklaus." Elijah told him just a day before the wedding was about to take place. "Is that so? And what exactly is the true me, Elijah?" "You are a confident, strong and good-hearted man. You're also overprotective of your family as you have shown many times and you would never let anything happen to any family members. I am proud of whom you truly are and I hope, with all my heart…I pray that I will never lose you, brother. Do not go down that dark path of yours once more. Everything has changed now. You have a stable home. You have a woman who is soon to be your wife. You will have a child…" "And I remember your former crazy witch girlfriend telling me that my future holds some darkness." Klaus told him and Elijah groaned. "Please, do not tell me that you are actually considering Celeste's pestering words. They were not the truth."

"And how are you to know that? Are you a fortuneteller, Elijah?" Klaus asked him. "No, but believe me when I am telling you, Niklaus that you are making a big mistake by thinking about what has passed. Take it from me and just think about your future and what it could hold for you. Have the werewolves found out of your wedding yet?" "The invitations have already been sent. I can just imagine Rowan in his hut, right now screaming from the rooftops." Klaus replied. "And why would he be angry? You claimed to want to marry Hayley once, did you not?" "Yes, but he believes I was bluffing. Clearly, I wasn't." "Very well…whatever happens tomorrow, I beg of you not to start anything which could mean the end of our peace treaty. Now…I have somewhere I need to be." Elijah turned to leave when Klaus stopped him. "You know that it is normally required of you to bring a date to one of these special events, do you not?" "Of course…" A smug look appeared on Klaus' face as he said, "I believe that young Cami has not shown the same interest as she had before, has she brother?"

"She is in a tight dilemma with Marcel…or so I believe." Elijah responded. "Ah…so the choice of bringing her to my wedding tomorrow is out of the question then?" "It depends on the situation." "What situation might that be? Could is still have anything to do with the fact that you slept with former flame from Mystic Falls and she caught you in bed with her?" Klaus laughed at his own thought. He never thought he would have his brother admit to him such a shameful act. "Brother…please do take your time and think about your relationship with Hayley. Do not show concern for my own relationships with women." Klaus could only chuckle as Elijah left the building, directing himself to Cami's apartment. They had not spoken much for the past month. She had confessed to him the kiss she shared with Marcel and he was not at all happy, but he had learned to deal with it, as he always deled with any horrible situations in his life. But they had drifted apart. This day, he decided to change something and soon, he, Elijah Mikaelson, was standing in front of the shop, ready for some Chinese takeout.

Afterwards, he slowly made his way to Cami's door and started knocking on it. There was movement and Elijah could immediately sense her perfume. Cami moved to the door and opened it. She never expected him to be standing there, looking at her, but he was. She sighed and crossed her hands over her chest. "Hi." She whispered. "Good evening, Camille." "Elijah, what are you doing here?" "Well…I would say that since my brother's wedding is tomorrow and I have no date to bring, that I am in a what you would call, in a tight fix, however, I am here to offer you this gift and say that I have greatly missed your company for the past month." A smile played on Cami's lips when she saw what he was holding. "Chinese takeout? Really? Again? Is that the only way you can think of to win me over?" Elijah smiled and shook his head. "As I recall, you have tried to do the exact same thing once…using takeout as a peace offering and you have found me in the unexpected presence of Caroline Forbes." Cami parted her mouth to say something but no words would come out. "I…well…it was an embarrassing moment, for me at least."

"Believe me when I say that it was just as embarrassing for me as it had been for you. Right now, sitting in front of your apartment, I wondered if there was the chance I could see you in bed with Marcel." Cami started laughing so hard that tears fell from her eyes. "What?! No! Of course not! You have nothing to worry about. It's not like that between us anymore. We are just good friends." Elijah smiled and stepped closer to her. "And would you consider me as a dear friend, as well?" "Well, I wouldn't…" Cami couldn't finish her sentence because in a matter of moments, Elijah's lips were on hers and he was kissing her gently. It was a very gentle kiss which made her flush. And as soon as he pulled back, he asked, "Would you do me the honor of accompanying me to Niklaus and Hayley's wedding?" Cami smiled and whispered, "Well, I really wouldn't want to leave you hanging like that…so yes."

…

Just a few hours before the wedding ceremony would begin that way, everyone was excited, and some of them were even more curious to see how this wedding would happen. Klaus Mikaelson was known as the ferocious Original Hybrid who wanted nothing to do with the words "commitment to a woman". But this wasn't just any woman. This was a woman he admired, a Labonair Queen, who was soon going to offer him a child. She was special to him, even as a mortal. People thought that he would tire of her and move on to another woman quickly, as he was always known for doing. And this was the reason why the whole of New Orleans couldn't wait to participate at the ceremony, so they could see with their own eyes and believe in the impossible that Klaus Mikaelson would agree to give a woman his heart. The last minute preparations were being made and even the werewolves from the bayou were expected to show up. After all, this was their Queen's twin's marriage. Hayley was still royal as the daughter of Rowan Labonair.

In one room at the compound, however, nothing was falling into place as Sophie was being laid down on a desk and Marcel was hovering over her, kissing at her neck and making her moan in delight. Things move quickly to something more deep. A few moments later, Sophie was gathering up her clothes from the ground as Marcel watched her. "You know…we don't really have to sneak around like this." Marcel commented and Sophie laughed. "Uh…actually, we do. A month ago, I got lucky and I defeated Agnes and now I represent a firm force in that coven. Everyone trusts me now. What do you think is going to happen when they see me with you?" "I thought you said that they already knew about our last hook up." "They did. They do, but…" "Let me guess. You told them that you stopped seeing me. Is that right?" "Yes. And it was the right thing to do. You don't have to get sore about it." Sophie told him and then leaned over and pecked him on the lips, as she finally pulled on her shirt and rearranged her hair in the mirror. This had been the perfect place to be, now that the compound was super busy with the maids arranging everything, including the china, the silver, the drapes, the dresses and the suits.

No one would ever suspect a secret hook up in the study room. Absolutely no one. "I really want to talk about…this…whatever this is. How long do you expect it to last?" Marcel asked her and Sophie frowned. "What are you talking about?" "This relationship…" "Marcel, I thought we agreed that this is a no-strings attached type of thing. Having the kind of relationship you're talking about would just ruin everything." "Well…wow…sorry you actually feel that way about us." "No, I…look…I don't mean to hurt you. I know what you want, but I have to get my priorities straight. I like spending time with you." "We are not exactly spending time together, you know? This…whatever we are doing…is just taking advantage of each other." Sophie frowned and smiled a little. "Wow! Since when did you become so proper?" "What?" "Since when do you care about that, Marcel?" "Well, let's just say that the guy you think I am, has been long gone since I broke things off with Cami."

Sophie was still staring at her face in the mirror and then she frowned and turned around. "Ah, so now I get it! This is actually about Cami and your still very profound feelings for her. Is that correct?" "Now you are the one making assumptions!" Marcel snapped. "No. I think that I just made another big mistake in my life by continuing to meet you. I really don't have time for this. I have my people to take care of." "And I still have my people, Sophie! This is not a good excuse for you!" "This was a mistake." Sophie continued whispering to herself. Finally, she pulled herself together and left the study room, running straight into Hayley, who was looking at her worried. "Hey, are you okay?" "Yeah…I…I…um…" "Marcel is in there, isn't he?" Hayley asked her with a small smile. After holding it in for a while, Sophie sighed and said, "Yes. Okay. Fine. You caught me. He is in there and he is just as pissed as I am so don't you and Klaus try anything, okay?" "Sophie, Klaus doesn't have to find out about this okay? This is between you and Marcel, but…are you sure everything is alright?" "Yeah. Don't worry about me. Worry about you and your problems when your parents show up. From what I hear, they aren't very happy about this and neither is Andrea."

…

The ceremony was beautiful. Hayley walked down the aisle, choosing to forget about what Sophie had warned her. She was doing this for herself and for her child too. She was in front of him in seconds and in just a few moments, they were wed. "I suppose you will be the first to call yourself Mrs. Mikaelson through marriage now, love." Klaus smirked and pulled her closer to him, kissing her lips. Hayley let her hand graze his stubble and then kissed him even more deeply. They didn't care that everyone was watching them. They had agreed for this to be their moment. "What's the first thing you will do now with me as a wife, Big Bad Wolf?" she finally asked him and Klaus gave her one of those evil wicked smirks, which made her feel more alive. Pulling her closer to him, Klaus raised his glass of champagne at the crowd and called out, "I would like to propose a toast…to Mrs. Hayley Mikaelson, the official Queen of New Orleans!" The people started clapping out of respect. Hayley gaped at him especially since she noticed that the vampires were not pleased and some werewolves either. "I didn't know that this would bother them." She whispered and Klaus rolled his eyes.

"What bothers them does not concern us, little wolf. Anymore questions?" "Well…how exactly can be Queen of New Orleans?" she asked him. Klaus frowned and then gleamed with delight. "You are carrying the Mikaelson heir…you are my wife…and you have shown the very qualities that a Queen could have alongside a King. You are a Queen of your own right, remember that as well." "I know what I am, Klaus. But I am confused about who you are. I thought you said that you and Marcel were going to run things together in the city." "No, love. Marcel has renounced his claim on the city, as a way to please us." "What?" Hayley asked, shocked. "Yes, he has." "Klaus, I don't believe that for a second. He loves New Orleans. He has built this city from the ashes. It is his home. He wouldn't just renounce his title like that to you." "And why wouldn't he?" "Because I know him and he wouldn't. So are you sure you don't have anything else you might want to tell me?" Hayley challenged him. "Maybe I must have shown some great influence…" "You made him step down, didn't you?" "Either that or I would reveal his secret relationship with Sophie to the vampire community."

"Wait! You knew about that?" "Yes, of course. I know all that goes on in this compound. Nothing passes my eyesight." "I am sure about that." Klaus' eyes directed to her belly and then he asked softly, "How is our child? Have you sensed anything unusual?" "We're both fine, Klaus." "Then am I to assume that you have forgiven me for not revealing to you the dangers behind this pregnancy?" "I am a strong wolf, Klaus! I can handle anything." Klaus smiled and stated, "Yes. You are young, beautiful, tough, cunning…and a Queen. Anything a King could want…you posses it." "Easy on your flattery there, Big Bad Wolf." Hayley joked and kissed his lips once more, before stepping back, noticing that Andrea was watching them from afar. "I…I should probably go and speak to her." She told him and Klaus nodded. "Of course, love. She is your sister and I am in no position to stand in the way of family conversations. You go ahead, but…" He circled his arms around her waist and pulled her back against his seductively, as he started kissing her neck.

She knew that her moans would make a fool out of her, but even then, through reason, she couldn't help but give in and rub her hand through his curls, as he pressed light kisses on her jaw. "But…?" she asked him. "As my Queen, tonight…you must make me feel like a King." Hayley let out a soft laugh and kissed his palm, saying, "I promise I shall fulfill my duties as a Queen and a wife then." The smile on Klaus' face was brighter than anyone had ever seen and even Hayley herself was surprised by this. "Now, I have to go to Andrea. People are staring." "To the devil with them, love…you are mine now. I am entitled to make you feel pleasure in public." Hayley giggled again but then she saw a frown which crossed Andrea's face. "Klaus, I really have to go now. She might get impatient." "Very well." Offering her a final kiss, he let his little wolf go as she raced to her sister in her wedding dress. "Well…what do you think?" Hayley asked her, unsure of how she should start.

"Think about what?" "About the wedding…my dress…Klaus…all of it. Are you happy with Jackson yourself?" Hayley asked her. "Well…yes I am very happy with Jackson. I thank the Lord for giving me the chance to marry the man I love. But the difference between us Hayley is that I have chosen a good man to marry. You haven't and that is going to affect you." The smile on Hayley's face disappeared at once. "What are you talking about?" she decided to ask anyway. "You know what I am talking about. You know that Klaus is the problem." "Klaus is not a problem. I know he can be a jackass at times, but he is my jackass. I love him…his twisted, wicked self. I love him." Hayley tried to explain to her, but her words only made Andrea look more and more displeased. "Father is not happy about this and even though Mother does not show it because she loves you very much…she is very unhappy with your choice too!" Hayley had never thought of her sister to be so tough in conversations. Something has changed in her. She was no longer the same sweet girl that everyone remembered her to be.

Then again, Hayley knew that she changed too, not just because of the pregnancy, but also with everything she has been through. She felt more mature, more responsible…and no longer the adventurous wolf girl everyone thought of her. Her change was good, she believes but the change in Andrea was scaring her. She had not spent much time with her sister since the curse was broken and they hadn't spent any time together at all before that. She desperately wanted it to change but with the way Andrea looked like she was disapproving of the wedding which had taken place that night, made her feel very uncomfortable. "Andrea, we have a lot to talk about especially now with the changes in our family. I respect that my parents chose you to become the new future Queen of the pack with your marriage to Jackson…but I am also a Queen by my birthright…" "…and now I see that you are about to take the power Klaus holds over this whole city." Andrea finished for her. "I am not using his affections for me, Andrea. I would never do that. But if he asks me to stand by his side and take my position as Queen of New Orleans…I will gladly do it to ensure safety for my people."

Andrea sighed and looked away, with her arms crossed over her chest. "Whatever you think that you're succeeding here…you haven't really won anything but trouble. Just because you are carrying his child that does not mean that you had to marry him! He is a bastard, a…" Hayley stepped towards her warningly and felt odd that she was staring her double in the face sternly. "Klaus is my husband and from this day forward, I don't want to hear a single negative opinion towards him. Do you understand me?" When Andrea didn't answer, Hayley continued saying, "I married Klaus because I love him and because I love my unborn child. But do not doubt my loyalty to my family." "And if it comes down to having to choose between Klaus and us…who will you choose?" "We are done having this conversation." Hayley snapped and walked away.

A/N: Hayley and Andrea seem to have some bad blood between them for now. The next chapter will be even more interesting…it will fast forward a few months, when Hayley finally gives birth and other troubles will start.
