A/N: As mentioned before, from chapter 16 onwards each chapter will be one month of Hayley's pregnancy. They will be a little longer than the previous chapters. I hope you enjoy them as much as I am enjoying writing this story.

This chapter is really long. They are really getting out of hand. Just one month and so many events to cover. I don't want to break my original idea of covering month in each chapter so cannot do anything about the length of the chapter lolz.

On a side note I realize from the comments that a lot of you are liking Finn and Hayley together. I too as I am writing them J but I just want to say that in terms of her feelings it will be straight forward. I am tired to this complicated relationship/feeling/love triangles stuff they are showing on tv these days. Why cannot there be a one devoted couple who does not feel anything for anyone else except for each other and that is what the story is based on. Klaus and Hayley have only feelings for each other and no one else.

I have put a scene about her and Finn in the next chapter but that will just be friendly banter. I had already decided to put it there so to give him a closure. I hope you like it.

Hope you enjoy it.

Klaus came home later that night and went to sleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. When Hayley woke up she sensed him next to her and smiled. She turned towards him and just stared at his face. She then ideally moved her hand on the pillow so that it was near his hand without touching it and closed her eyes.

When she woke up next, he was still lying next to her awake his time. She said "hello stranger" making him smile.

She asked him "how was New York?"

"Hectic" he said and then turned his face towards the ceiling and asked her "any new development here".

Hayley said "well let's see your sister has fallen for someone and she will introduce him to us today".

Klaus looked at her in surprise when she continued "and I have promised her that I will make you behave".

Klaus laughed at that and said "sure you will".

Hayley said with a sigh "sometimes I think you forget that I am a hybrid".

Klaus turned to her and said with a smile "no, love I always remember it but being a hybrid does not make you any different from me. You are still a person inside with emotions, feelings and vulnerability. Being hybrids makes you immortal and good fighter and able to compel me and I think we have covered those basis. We don't need you to fight with me to prove anything and you cannot compel me either and as for immortality that I cannot do anything about that right now".

He then got up making Hayley steaming. She sat up angrily too and said "I hate you".

Klaus got out of bed and smirked at her "careful love. They say that there is a fine line between love and hate and I think you will not want to cross that line.

And then he went to the bathroom and smiled as he felt the pillow hit the closed door.

When he came out of bathroom after changing she was still sitting on the bed. He asked her sarcastically "thinking what will happen if you fall for me?"

"That will never happen" Hayley snapped at him and then she got up and pushed him aside and was entering the bathroom when he held her by arm and said "never say never" and then he touched her stomach gently and said "you look beautiful" and turned and left the room.

Hayley smiled and entered the bathroom whereas Klaus went to his office.
He and Elijah had to wrap up a case today so they lost track of time.

Katherine came down the stairs and saw Rebekah in a lip locked situation in the foyer. She looked at them and asked "Rebekah don't let your brothers see you in such a situation".

Rebekah stepped back and said rolling her eyes and said "James this is Katherine, a family friend". She then added "let's go in the study".

As she dragged James to the study Katherine looked at them with a smile.

Flash back

She looked at Rebekah smiling at the young man near the fragrance counter. She stood there staring at them for a while and then she saw him take out his cell and pressed some buttons on it and as if a light bulb switch on in her head

After Rebekah walked away she walked towards the man. When he looked at her with a smiling face Katherine said "that girl you were just talking to, you will call her soon and ask her on a date and will fall for her and then you will rape her on your next date with her and you don't know me. After the rape you will forget about her".

End flash back

Rebekah turned around and said "So James, this is my brother's study. He normally does not allow strangers to visit it but I don't know why I just wanted to show this…"

She stopped when he turned her towards him and leaned in to kiss her. Rebekah smiled and kissed him back when she suddenly felt his hand sneak up her skirt. She broke the kiss and said "what are you doing?"

He brushed his fingers against her bare thigh and said "don't you want this?" and then parted her legs with his legs and pushed her against the bookshelf. Rebekah didn't know what happened but she pushed him away with force which somehow made him angry and he said "You bitch" and lunged at her.

A scream erupted from her throat as his lips touched her neck and his hand pulled open her shirt. She kicked him hard in his groins.

James groaned and doubled over with pain. He looked up angrily and took a step towards her. She looked around and picked up the lamp from the desk and hit him hard with it. He stumbled and fell on the ground with a thud. Rebekah stood here in horror as she saw blood seeping out her head and then she started screaming.

Klaus had just reached home after a long day and he was pouring himself a cup of coffee whereas Elijah had gone in his room to change when he heard her screaming. He ran towards the sound.

Klaus barged in and saw the man bleeding to his death. He said in panic as he darted towards him "no, no".

He knelt next to him and checked his pulse which was dropping by the second and then he yelled "Hayley" ignoring Rebekah's hysterical outburst "it was an accident. He attacked me Nik".

Hayley was getting ready for bed when she heard his voice. She knew from the urgency that something terrible has happened so she hurried downstairs.

As she entered the study, she stopped when she saw him cradling the man on the floor and Rebekah standing the corner with her shirt ripped apart. Klaus looked at her and said desperately "heal him".

Hayley didn't need to be told twice and she knelt down holding his hand with difficulty and bit her wrist and put it on his lips. As the blood drops touched his lips he started to heal.

She looked at Klaus who whispered "thanks" and then they both turned to door when they heard Katherine saying "see now was that so difficult!" and to their shock they saw Elijah standing there with his mouth open.

Before Klaus could say anything Hayley mood took over and she changed and whooshed to Katherine and grabbed her by her throat and said "You did that. I know you did that. Get the hell out of here before I kill you".

Elijah said softly noticing the change in her physical form "Katherine you should leave".

Hayley pushed Katherine against the wall and hissed "if you tell anyone, I will make it my life mission to kill you and unlike you I am immortal and have eternity to accomplish my mission".

She then turned to Klaus who was holding Rebekah and trying to take her out of shock from what she had witnessed. She walked to him and asked him gently "do you want me to compel her?"

Klaus looked at her and then at Elijah and nodded and stepped aside.

Hayley looked into Rebekah's terrorized eyes and felt a pinch in her heart when she took a step back and with tears in her eyes she said "forget about what you saw Rebekah. Just remember that he was not hurt too bad".

Rebekah blinked her eyes and looked at the young man on the ground getting up and said "omg did I kill him?"

"NO, no sweetie he is just hurt, are you okay?" Hayley asked him.

When Rebekah nodded Klaus said "Rebekah go to your room. Everything will be okay".

As she left, James moaned and stood up and looked around in confusion and said "where am i?"

Klaus walked to him and hissed "leave".

James didn't need telling twice and he left.

Hayley looked at Klaus and then she left quietly brushing past a very stunned Elijah.

As she left the room Elijah asked him "you have been hiding something from all of us brother".

Klaus looked at Elijah and said "not now Elijah" and was about to leave the room when Elijah held his arm and said "I want to know everything tonight Niklaus" and let him go.

As Klaus entered the room, Hayley hurried towards her and asked him "what is going to happen now?"

Klaus looked at her panic. Seeing her this panicked somehow make him feel steady and he said calmly "first of you, you will discard that thought of running away from you mind right now" he smiled as he realized from the look on her face that he was on right track. He continued "and secondly I have to tell them now and I am sure everything will be okay".

Hayley grabbed his hand and said "Klaus"

He looked into her eyes and said "trust me everything be okay. You trust me right?"

Hayley said with a smile "yes strangely that is the only thing that I can see with certainty about you right now".

Klaus laughed at that and then bushed her cheek gently and said "you can rest and I will be up soon".

After he left he stood in the hallway thinking about the feeling in his stomach which he has been feeling for a while now. Hayley touched her cheek and smiled.

Klaus walked down and looked at Elijah who was standing in the middle of foyer lost in thought. Elijah looked at him and said in an authoritative voice "Now" and then he walked in the study without waiting for a response.

Klaus sighed and entered the study closing it behind him. As Hayley listened to them, ignoring her promise to him, from his room, he told him everything about her. To her relief Elijah listened to Klaus quietly without any interruption until he stopped.

Klaus looked up at his brother trying to gauge what he was thinking.

Elijah stood up and started pacing the room and then said "wow, If I had not seen all with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. But it all make sense now. All those times when I felt like you were hiding stuff from me and her fear from the Slaters. It all makes sense now. I am not happy that you didn't share it with me but I understand why you didn't" he then said "brother I promise that I will keep this secret and take it with me to my grave" making Hayley's heart swell for him.

After a couple of minutes of silence Elijah said "we need to move from this house".

"Yes I have been thinking that too. Katherine and Caroline pulled pretty weird stuff which I was not expecting so I am thinking of moving to the house Jim left for me. OF course my family will move in with me". Klaus said.

In next couple of days Klaus moved to his new house left to him by Jim Barkerly. During that time Elijah didn't let Hayley feel any different which she was very grateful. The day they moved Elijah was called by Mikael to Mystic Falls so he left. It was a huge house with a lots of rooms. Hayley wanted to have her own room but Klaus insisted that she moved in with her. When she asked him "why?"

He was lost for words at first wondering what excuse he should tell her. He knew that he couldn't let her live in a different room as he had realized from the past one month experience that he liked seeing her moving around in his room and waking up next to her.

He said to her "because you are nearing the end of your pregnancy and I don't think it will be exactly a good scenario that you are in labor in your room and I am in my room".

Hayley asked him with annoyance "why cannot you be nice?"

Klaus said with a smile "because love you bring out the best in me" and then he walked out of the room.

Later that day when he entered his room, he saw her sitting there on the bed. She looked at him and snapped "until the baby is born".

Klaus smiled and said "sure" and went to the change his clothes to go to sleep.

After he got under the covers, she got up to change too. She asked him as she saw him lost in thoughts "what are you thinking?"

Klaus looked at her and smiled. He said "about this chase".

Hayley said "You do know that I can sense when you are lying right?"

When he just smiled, she said "hmm" and then she turned her face in the opposite direction and said "I went to the doctor today".

Klaus snapped out of his thoughts and said "you should have told me. I could have come".

Hayley said sarcastically "like the last time?"

He was quiet for a while and then he said "I have apologized to you about that Hayley".

When she didn't say anything he asked "well what did she say?"

Hayley said "I will be full term in two week so baby can come any time after that".

Klaus smiled and said "really!"

Hayley turned towards him and saw the smile and then turned back and said "excited?"

"Of course" Klaus said.

She smiled and closed her eyes. He looked at her back and then got lost in his thoughts wondering about what if she loves Finn. Would he able to deal with it? He had not exactly shown her how much he cared about her. Will he ever be able to? He thought in frustration 'what is the point, she does not love him?' and then thinking that he went to sleep.

When he woke up next morning she was gone.

Finn was sitting in the sitting room when Kaleb came in and said "Mikaelsons have moved to a new location".

Finn said in a brooding voice "yes I know. They have moved to Barkerly estate. Good for them".

Kaleb asked him "well you look in a bad mood. What happened now?"

Finn said "nothing, I cannot get her out of my mind".

Kaleb sighed and said "you have to forget about her. She is with Klaus now".

Finn said aggressively "yes, I know and that is why I want to forget about her. Every time I look at her I think of them".

He then took out his cell and called a number. Kaleb looked at her questioningly and then smiled as he said "Eve, I want to see you".

Eve said "I cannot today. I have a date in the afternoon".

Finn stood up and said "what?"

Eve said "I have a date. You knew that I am seeing other people too right?"

Finn didn't say anything for a minute and then said "yes" and then put the cell down angrily.

He looked at Kaleb who was listening to their conversation. He snapped at him and said "not a single word" and then he started to leave the room when he stopped and said to Kaleb in an angry tone "find out who she is going out with".

Kaleb said with exasperation "Finn…" but Finn stopped him by saying "find out Kaleb" and left the room.

Kaleb sighed and got up from his chair.

Hayley parked the car and got out with Rebekah at her heels constantly chattering about her day in the mall. Hayley kept on smiling as she walked towards Jackson's hut. They both turned at the sound "what a pleasant sight and so early in the morning I must say".

Hayley smiled when she saw Kaleb and asked him "what are you doing here?"

Kaleb glanced at Rebekah who was eyeing him with interest and said to Hayley "I have come to meet Eve and you?"

Hayley said "Kaleb this is Rebekah, Klaus's sister".

Kaleb said with a smile "yes I remember. We met when she invited me in the house from where you guys have moved".

Hayley said with annoyance "are you keeping tabs on us?"

"Of course, you are wood pack. We have invested interest in you guys". He said with a smile.

"Are you Slater?" Rebekah asked.

Kaleb said with a smile "Yes, my name is Kaleb Slater".

Rebekah looked at Hayley who said with annoyance "he is okay" making him laugh.

They walked to Jackson and Eve.

Kaleb asked Eve "I hear you have a date tonight. You do know that my brother is tossing and turning over that".

Eve laughed and said "and that was the intention!"

Kaleb asked her in surprise tone "what? There is no date".

Eve said with a smile "of course there is but it was to make your brother realize what he really wants".

Kaleb took a deep sigh and then said "who is the poor guy? Finn will kill him".

Eve said "no he wouldn't" and smiled.

Hayley who wanted to ask "if your brother likes Eve then why is he after me?" but she knew that this question will rise many suspicions so she kept her mouth shut and thanked her luck for Finn realizing that there is someone else that he cares more about her.

Kaleb got up and left after a while.

He walked into the compound Finn asked him "so brother what have you found out".

Kaleb sighed and before he could say anything Finn said "careful brother, I can sense lies".

Kaleb said "I was not going to lie. She has a date but she is…"

Finn barked "what?"

Kaleb said "I think she is trying to make you jealous".

Finn was lost for words for a minute and then he said "what?"

Kaleb sat on the chair and said "clearly she has stronger feelings for you then you thought". He then added mischievously "I wonder what she will think of Hayley when she realizes how much you care about her".

Finn stood there for a minute and then stormed to his room. Kaleb smiled with triumph as he saw his brother going upstairs.

It has been a week since they have moved to this new house. Klaus had been really busy with the case load. Rebekah had to go back so she left too. Hayley felt very lonely without her. Her constant jabber were good to keep her mind occupied. Otherwise these days she was always thinking about where she and Klaus were going. They were having a child and they hardly spoke to each other and soon it was full moon night.

Klaus said to Hayley "I am leaving" and then without waiting for her response he left.

He had a bad feeling while driving to the bayou. His first thought was Hayley but he was quite confident that the house was safe with security and all.

He was distracted when he was greeted by Jackson and Eve and when he turned to a wolf and then turned back.

As he was putting on his shirt thinking of returning back, they heard a loud bang and everything became hazy to him. When he opened his eyes, there was screaming and smoke everywhere. He jumped on his feet and then winced and looked down at his ribs. There was a deep gash there and by the look of it, it seemed that there was wolfsbane in it. He looked around and ignoring his pain he picked up an injured person and carried to Jackson's hut who was sitting on the porch holding his head. He asked her "what happened?"

Jackson said "how should I know?" pressing his head.

Klaus, Jackson and Eve and the wolves, injured or not helped each other. By the time they had helped everyone, it was 10 am. He was about to leave when Eve said "you are hurt, let me drive you home and I will give something that will help heal quickly".

She went inside and came back with a small bottle in her hand and said "let's go".

Hayley woke up and saw that he was not in bed. She thought that he had left so after changing her clothes she went down to kitchen to eat something. She was drinking her coffee when she heard voices. She walked upstairs towards their room.

Hayley entered their room and said "Klaus I…"

She stopped when she saw Eve standing there and Klaus with his bare back towards her. She said "sorry" and then left.

Eve looked at Klaus and said "this one will take some time to heal. Wolfsfbane takes longer than normal to heal".

She then gave him the bottle and said "drink this. I will make the sting better".

She then left the room.

Klaus looked at the gash on his torso and the picked up his shirt and pulled it over his head. He then walked out and went called her "Hayley"

When he didn't hear her, he went to the study. She was not there. He stood there for a second and then went to the room where she wanted to stay when they had moved in. he opened the door and said "Hayley?"

Hayley hastily wiped her tears and looked around. He asked her "What were…" and then he saw her wet lashes and asked her "why are you crying?"

She didn't know how but she burst in anger "go to hell Klaus" and turned to leave when he pulled her towards him and asked "what happened?"

Hayley slapped him hard on his face making his expression go murderous and he asked "what is going on? Tell me right now!"

She said angrily "As if you don't know. I am having your child and you are juggling girls as if they are …"

Klaus looked at her in shock and said "what?!"

Hayley snapped at him "Don't play dumb with me. I have seen you with Caroline and Eve" and then she tried to free herself but he wouldn't let her go.

He pulled her closer to him and said "I told you nothing is going on between Eve and me. I am telling you now that nothing is going on between Caroline and me. There was but that was before I knew you were pregnant".

Hayley tried to look away but couldn't. She refused to believe him and said angrily "I don't believe you".

"What do I have to do to make you believe in me?" he asked her in frustration.

When she didn't answer he leaned in as she leaned back and then he kissed her gently on her lips and leaned back. He looked into her confused eyes and said in a whisper "does that make you believe in me?"

Hayley said "Klaus…" but she couldn't finish her sentence as he cupped her face in his hands and was kissing her again but this time Hayley responded with a kiss. He broke the kiss and said with a smile "so this is the reason you have been so jealous of my and Eve's slash Caroline's interaction?" making her flush.

He then held her by her upper arms and scooted her backwards while kissing her until her back hit the door. He pushed the door closed and then scooped her up and carried her to the bed and laid her down. He bend on her and bestowed kisses on her face. Hayley held her face in her hands and kept on kissing him back. Her hands then slid to his chest and then down his torso when he winced. Hayley broke the kiss and looked at him and then gently tried to lift his shirt but he held her hand. She said softly "Klaus let go of my hand please".

Klaus let go of her hand but his eyes didn't leave her face. He saw the shock on her face as she saw the gash on his torso. She pushed him away from her and sat up and asked "what happened?"

Klaus said "there was this bombing after the full moon and ... Well wolfsbane so it is not…" he stopped and asked "what do you think you are doing?" as he saw her bite into her wrist.

She said to him "drink".

Klaus shook his head and said angrily "I told you not to do that"

Hayley took a deep breath and said "Klaus if you don't drink I will not let you touch me ever. I will not let you be with me when the baby is born".

Klaus stood there for a second and said "you cannot do that to me".

"I can and I am. Now drink" She said and then brought her wrist near his mouth.

Klaus looked into her determined eyes and then held her wrist and put his lips on it. He felt the bitter taste of blood but he kept his eyes on her. A couple of drops of blood and then he pushed her hand away. She suddenly smiled and said "see that was not difficult. Now you can touch me and tell me how sweet my blood was and is everyone okay at the bayou".

Klaus nodded and said "yes when I left everyone was fine".

Hayley took a sigh of relief. He smiled and leaned in until her back touched the bed. He felt her stomach on his torso and touched it with one hand while balancing himself on the other and kissed her. Hayley could feel her blood on his lips. She pulled her shirt off and pulled him on the bed next to her. He tugged at her shirt and pulled it off and just stared at her bare stomach and then he bend down and kissed it making Hayley moan and want more. He looked up at her while his fingers brushed her stomach.

He said to her with a smile "first of all your blood is not sweet and neither are you and that is why I have fallen for you. I have had enough with sweet in life".

She smiled and lifted herself up on her elbow and kissed him saying "you know most girls will not like what you said to me"

Klaus said kissing her back "I know but you are not most girl right?"

"No I am not" she said in between their kiss and then took her lips to his ears and said "make love to me".

Klaus smiled and said "are you sure? You are 36 weeks pregnant".

Hayley looked at him impressed and said "I had no idea you knew how far along I am".

"Well love you don't know a lot about me" he said.

She said with a mischievous smile on her face "I intend to and if you dont start making love to me right now I can always go to Finn, he will be willing to do it"

"Over my dead body" Klaus hissed.

"Hmm that will be problem then" Hayley said with a smile.

Klaus said playing with the locks of her hair "Why? You are hybrid you can kill anyone".

She ran her fingers from her chest down until they met his pant buttons saying "because I love you Klaus Mikaelsons".

Klaus asks her moving his hand a t the back of her body and unclasping the hooks of her bra and said "is that so? What a coincidence! I love you too".

She said "then what are you waiting for?" and then she gasped as his lips met the peeks of her breast and played with it. She grabbed his hair and squirmed until his touch. He then grabbed her hands and pinned them over head while starting kissing her from her hands to her armpit and then his lips moved down again and rested on her stomach. Hayley suddenly grabbed her hair and pulled it up and said "you are not repulsed by me right?"

Klaus was so shocked to hear that that he asked "what?"

"I am not exactly a beauty right now" she said touching her stomach.

Klaus just said "Hayley" and then he was kissing her so passionately that she forgot what she was thinking and ran her hands on his taunt back and slid his pants down. Klaus pulled her pants down.

Hayley held his hand and said "it is my turn now" and she kissed him on the side of his neck and then the moved the trail of kisses on his lips and stopped right where his gash was and kissed him softly. Klaus couldn't take it anymore he pulled her back down on the bed and while looking into her eyes he took her. She held on to him as he emptied himself in her and whispered "I love you so much".

He lifted himself up on his hand and said "I love you too and I will make you forget about Finn".

She smiled and said "Finn who?"

Klaus said "Exactly" and then he buried his face in her neck. She moaned and said "You do know that you cannot ever kiss Eve like you used to".

"Yes love anything for you" Klaus said sarcastically while kissing her.

She grabbed a lock of his hair and made him look at her and said "I am not joking Klaus. If I ever see you kiss any other woman like that, you and I will have a big issue".

Klaus stared at her for a minute and said "you don't trust me?"

"I trust you but I don't trust the women fawning over you" she said.

Klaus asked with a smile "really? Why do you think that?"

She flushed and said after a moment of hesitation "well you are handsome".

Klaus laughed and said "that is what I wanted to hear" and kissed her hard on her lips and laid next to her on the bed holding her in his arms. Hayley said "conceited much" but snuggled against him and ran her fingers ideally on his bare chest.

They laid there quietly until his cell rang. He shifted a bit and bend to pick it from his discarded jean when she brushed her fingers on his bare back. Klaus looked at her with a warning smile as he put the phone on his ear and said "yes"

He then sat up as he heard his father's voice. Hayley gathered herself too because it was apparent from his reaction that it was someone important. Klaus listened to his father as he saw her putting on her clothes.

After putting the cell down, he said "I have to take this but I will be back early today".

"Why early today?" She asked him casually.

Klaus buttoned his pants and walked to her and said "because I have something to look forward to today".

He was about to leave when Hayley pulled him back by holding his arm and touched the place where he had that gash but it was gone. She then said to her in a whisper "remember when you told me to give you my blood when you are dying".

Klaus leaned forwards, kissed her and said "yes but I had a feeling that you wouldn't listen to me".

Hayley smiled and said "aren't you happy about that now?" and kissed him back.

After he left she sat on the bed smiling touching her stomach when she felt the baby kick. She said to herself "just a couple of more weeks".

Later that night when Klaus came home she was already in bed. He walked to her and saw that she was sleeping. He bend down and kissed her forehead which woke her up. She looked at him and smiled. Klaus sat there looking at her. Hayley could see tiredness in his eyes. He said to her "go to sleep. I will be back in a minute". As he was about to get up she pulled him towards her by tugging at his tie and before he knew it she was untying it and then she ripped his shirt apart earning her an amused smile and he said "so that is where you hybrid powers comes in".

She laughed and said "If I had not been pregnant, I would have shown you what I can do" and pulled him next to her and before long they were making love to each other.

Later Klaus held her in his one arm hug. Hayley was smiling and moving her fingers ideally on his bare torso when she felt him shift a bit and then his hand which was rubbing against her bare shoulder slid to her hand, toying with his muscle, and she felt something cold slide on her wrist. She looked at it, smiled and said "about time you returned it"

She turned to look at him when he said "you knew I had it"

"Yes I found it when I was looking for vervain in your drawer. You know you are a thief Mr. Mikaelsons" she said with a laugh making him laugh too. And then she fell on his chest again and they went to sleep.

"Finn" Marcel came to the sitting room and said.

Finn who was really annoyed at something asked him "what is it now?"

Kaleb and Finn looked at him when he said "there was a bombing in the bayou on Crescent wolves…"

Before Marcel could finish his sentence Finn was holding him by his throat and hissed "who did that?"

Marcel tried to free himself and said "I don't know but I am going to find out".

Finn pushed him away and then whooshed out of there.

He walked into the bayou and approached Eve who was sitting on the porch looking at the debris.

He went straight to her and pulled her up and asked "are you okay?"

Eve said in a teary voice "yes I am fine but Oliver, he was badly injured. There was wolfsbane in the bomb and he was not healing so he died a couple of hours ago".

Before he knew it he was kissing her and said "I was scared for you when Marcel told me. I promise I will find out who did this and punish them".

She hugged him and said "thank you for coming".

He looked around at the people who were walking around clearing up the mess. She said into his chest "Klaus was here when it happened and he was badly injured too but he helped a lot of people".

Finn said "hmm".

He then saw Jackson walking towards them. Jackson asked him angrily "what is going on here? We had a peace treaty. Someone is breaking it. There was attack on wolves a couple of months ago and now this".

Finn separated himself from Eve and asked him "when was the last attack?"

Jackson said angrily "It was a couple of moons ago and incidentally Klaus got hurt in that one too and a member of our pack died".

Finn started pacing the ground and then he said "so the attacks started after he came to New Orleans?"

"Who?" Jackson asked

Finn snapped at him "Klaus Mikaelsons"

Jackson asked slowly as if realization hit him "you think that the attacks are because of him. Someone wants to kill him?"

Finn said "I don't know. It is a theory".

He left the bayou and went to the compound.

Finn entered the compound and called out Kaleb "Kaleb come down".
As Kaleb was coming down the stairs he said "I think they are after Klaus Mikaelsons".
Kaleb asked him "who?"
Finn said thoughtfully "whoever did the bombing in the bayou".

Kaleb asked him "how did you reach this conclusion?"
Finn said "something Jackson said" and then he added I am going to see him, you want to come?"

As he turned to leave Kaleb said "I think I should go".

Finn turned towards his brother and said "don't worry. I will not kill you only friend. Just want to reach at the bottom of this issue. Because of him the peace treaty is being broken. First Monique and now this".

Kaleb took a deep breath and followed his brother.

Hayley said as he was kissing her neck "aren't you going to get late?"

Klaus continued bestowing kisses on her neck and said "it is my office. I can go whenever I want to go".
Hayley smiled and tugged his shirt a little up and said "okay then. I wouldn't stop you". Her fingers travelled up and found his weak spot and then she pulled his shirt off of his head. He tugged at the buttons of her shirt when his cell rang. He looked at her with frustration and said "let it go on voice mail". He continued opening her shirt button when it stopped ringing and then the phone started ringing again. He groaned and said "let me handle that first".
He saw Kaleb's name on the caller Id and said "it is 9 am Kaleb. Normal people sleep at this time".
Hayley smiled and started buttoning her shirt again earning a shake of head from Klaus. He pulled her towards her and opened the buttons she had closed and held her close to her. His hand went on her bare stomach and his fingers starting brushing on it.
Kaleb said "we need to talk to you about something important so we are coming over".
Klaus suddenly said "No, you are not coming to my house. I can come over".
Kaleb said "we are almost there".
Klaus asked him "you know where I live now".
"Of course. Keep your friends close but enemies closer. But with you we will have to define something new". He then added "we will be there in five minutes. I just wanted to give you a heads up" and then he cut him off.
Klaus looked at Hayley and then said while kissing her on her neck "rain check?"
She smiled and said I wonder what they want to talk about. Hopefully not about me".
Klaus said "no, I get the feeling it is something more important". And then he let her go and went to change. When he came out she asked him "so you don't think I am important". Klaus laughed and said "not right now love. It sounds urgent". He was leaving the room when he turned and said "no eavesdropping Hayley".

As he left the room, she looked at him angrily and then decided to listen to their conversation.

Klaus opened the door and stared at Kaleb and Finn. He said to them "you honestly don't think that I will invite you into my house?!"

Kaleb just smiled whereas Finn fumed. Klaus said "let's go to annex".

He then led them to the annex and said "now you can come in".

Hayley sat on the bed with her ears tuned on to their conversation.

Klaus was saying "so what is so urgent that you had to come meet me in person".

Kaleb looked at Finn who was eyeing Klaus and said "Finn thinks that yesterday's bombing in the bayou was because of you".

Klaus at once said angrily "I didn't have anything to do with that".

Kaleb smiled and said "No you misunderstand. We think that someone wants to kill you and your family. There have been two attacks on you in the bayou. You must have thought about that too".

Klaus stared at them and started laughing and said "No, in fact to the contrary belief I don't have any enemies".

Finn chipped in and said "but your father does".

Klaus stared at him and leaned back thinking about this theory.

Hayley started pacing in her room wondering if there was anything substantial in that theory or not. The more she thought about it the more it made sense to her.

Klaus looked at Finn after a while and said "why are you telling me?"

Finn said "because of you, peace treaty is being broken and I don't like it. I want to handle it and without your input we cannot handle it".

Klaus stood up and started pacing the room and then turned to him to say something but then he stopped. Kaleb asked him "what?"

"There is someone I can think of but that cannot be…" Klaus said thoughtfully.

"Who?" Finn stood up and asked him.

Klaus looked at his aggressive face and said "that is something personal if I am right so we will handle it".

Finn stared at him for a while and then said "your pack member who were here a couple of months ago, whom I killed".

Klaus flinched at the memory and said "I have a beef to pick up with you about that too".

Finn smiled and said sarcastically "any time" and then he said "I killed all of them".

Klaus said "no you didn't".

He then said to Finn and Kaleb with finality "if it is him then I will handle it and if not then we will look at some other way".

They both looked at each other and the Finn said "you have one week to handle it. Otherwise I will handle it myself".

And then they both left leaving Klaus lost in thoughts. He went to the main house and as he entered his room he said to her "don't tell anyone about it".

Hayley looked at him innocently and asked "about what?"

Klaus gave her a look and said "really, you think that I don't know that you listen to his conversation?"

Hayley said angrily "I don't listen to every conversation, just crucial ones".

Klaus walked to her and said "Hayley I told you I don't like eavesdropping. If this is going to work then you need to work on this thing" and then he said "I have to go to office. I have meetings till late so will be late".

He left leaving her miserable. Hayley went to the bayou. She had not been there since the bombing. Klaus wouldn't let her go because of obvious reason. She got to know that Oliver had died. She spend the day with Jackson and Eve and then came back home before he got home. By the time Klaus came home, his anger at her has gone and he held her tight while they slept peacefully.

Few more days went by. Elijah had not returned. Klaus and Hayley were happy with each other. He was busy with one of his cases and trying to find Cary but he was nowhere to be found. He had asked Hayley to help him on the case. He would come home late and they would lock themselves in the study and discuss the case till late night and then turn in and go to sleep holding each other after making love to each other or just lie there hands in hands talking about random things – his past and her past, their child.

She felt very happy and relieved when she told him about her mother, father and Jackson. He would hold her during those stories and let her cry without saying anything. Hayley was not expecting him to be so understanding. She had thought that she would feel better if he had said something but not saying anything somehow was more comforting for her.

With each passing day their love for each other was growing like their baby was growing in her, their trust was growing in each other so much so Klaus told her about why Mikael had strong feelings for him. Hayley felt sorry for him but he told her that he truly love his father and he believed that his father loved him too and Hayley hoped that he was right for his sake. She had witnessed Mikael's love for him in peeks when he was visiting but she knew that he needed to show it to Klaus too.

They both had not forgotten about the attack in the bayou and often they thought about it late at night. She itched to call Elijah but he had told her not to so she had not.

One day she couldn't take it anymore. After he went to the office she picked up her cell. After a couple of bells she heard his voice and said "Elijah…"

It has been a week since his talk with Finn and Kaleb and he had not been able to locate Cary and now he was starting to have doubts whether it was Cary or not. He was sitting in his office thinking about who else it could be when the door banged open and Elijah entered the office and said angrily "were you ever going to tell me?"

Klaus sighed and asked him "who told you?"

"Hayley who else" Elijah snapped at him.

Klaus cursed her hybrid hearing and said "Elijah it is just a theory. Nothing is proven. They think the attacks are on me and my family but…".

Elijah said angrily pacing in the room "I don't care if it is a theory or not. I want to know everything that happened since I left".

Klaus filled Elijah in on the bombing and Finn and Kaleb's theory. As he finished talking his office door banged open second time. He looked up with frustration and said "this is a personal office not a …" and then he stopped when he saw Kaleb glaring at him angrily.

He asked him "what do you think you are doing?"

Klaus slowly stood up and said "what happened?"

Kaleb said angrily "You are making alliance with werewolves against us and here we are helping you fight your enemies. Do you have any idea what it would do to the peace of the city we have maintained for almost a century".

Klaus stared at him for a while and then asked him "who said that to you?"

"I have my source Klaus and after everything I have done to protect Hayley and your child you come to our town and raise havoc" he snapped at him and then left angrily.

Klaus stood there shock and lost at what had happened.

He looked at Elijah who was glaring at him. He shook his head and said "I don't know, but I will find out". He wrapped up his things and walked out of office with Elijah.

They walked into Rousseau's after thirty minutes. Klaus stopped in his track when he saw Hayley sitting with Kaleb. He stormed towards her ignoring Elijah's "Niklaus" and hissed "what are you doing here? I thought we agreed that you will not come to French Quarter".

Hayley smiled at him and said "No, we didn't decide anything. You decided it for me but now that I know that Finn does not want to hurt me so why not take advantage of that".

Klaus just looked at her angrily and then he saw Kaleb smiling. He snapped at him "what are you smiling about?"

"Nothing. It gives me great contentment when I see someone mouthing off to you" Kaleb said annoyingly and then he got up and left the table.

Klaus said to her "stay here. I will be back".

He followed him outside with Elijah and then stopped when he saw him standing with Caroline. He walked to them and said looking at Caroline "so this is your source of information these days?"

Caroline flushed and said adamantly "I just told him what I found out. Aren't you doing that?"

Before she could say anything else Klaus had grabbed her by her throat and hissed "who told you that?"

Caroline stuttered "Katherine"

Kaleb said in surprise tone "what?"

Klaus let her go and asked her "she is still in town?"

Kaleb asked him "Katherine pierce is in town?"

Klaus didn't answer her and continued to stare holes in Caroline who was massaging her throat and said "yes, she is still in town. Why are you asking? Did she lie to me?"

Klaus snapped at her "of course she lied to you. She is Katherine pierce. When are you ever going to stop trusting her Caroline?"

He then followed his gaze and saw her standing there. Klaus held her by her arm and said "let's go" and then he turned to Kaleb and said "now you know".

Next day Elijah got a call from Mikael asking him to come back for some important case so he left for Mystic Falls. Before he was going Klaus told him not to tell their father about the attack.

Elijah walked into Mikael's office and said "father we have a problem".

Mikael looked at Elijah with heavy heart. His first thought went to his son and asked him "what is it? Is everything okay there?"

"No, someone tried to kill him" he said making Mikael stand up.

He looked at him and asked angrily "who? Slaters?"

Kol was walking towards his office when he heard the outburst. He barged into the room as Elijah said "No, not Slater. Klaus thinks it is Cary".

Mikael said in surprise "why?"

Elijah said "I think he wants to take revenge from you for not avenging his brother's death and what better way to revenge then to hurt one of your loved one".

Kol chipped in "Is Nik okay?"

"Yes he is fine right now. He didn't want me to tell you but I think we need to handle it right now. Hayley is about term and the baby can be in danger if we don't handle it right now" Elijah said looking at him.

Mikael picked up his intercom and said to his secretary "get me and my sons a flight to New Orleans right now".

And then put the intercom down without listening to the other side.
