So if you feelin right, grab the Kryptonite

If this yo song tonight, then it's on tonight

Bounce wit it drop wit it

All my ladies pop yo backs wit it

Do it do it do it do it

You know that will be rockin' to it to it

So do it do it do it to it

Bonnie was swirling her hips to the beat of her favorite Cherish song when she felt someone slide up behind her. She spun around, still winding her hips and looked up to see a really tall white boy with light brown eyes swaying to the music. He had great rhythm to Bonnie's surprise so she stayed his company, spinning around again only this time backed it up against him and he clutched her hips and followed her movements. When Bonnie rolled her hips against him, he pushed right back against her and when she took it to the floor in circles, he was right there with her.

When they came back up, Bonnie reached behind her head and cupped his chin, leaning on him while they swayed. The song was then mixed into another song that sounded lame to Bonnie so she turned to face him and pressed her hand against his chest. "Thanks for the dance,"

She turned away and left the dance floor. She needed another drink. When she reached the bar she turned around and was disappointed to see the man hadn't followed her. She tsked before she grabbed the attention of the bartender.

"Hey girl!"

"Hey, pretty lady!" Hayley was pouring a bottle of liquor into 6 shot glasses. "You here by yourself tonight?"

"Don't judge me, mama needed a night out and no one was available," Bonnie replied.

"No judgment here at all, do your thing!"

"At least you're here though!"

Hayley laughed. "That doesn't count, I'm working and I'm almost seven months pregnant, I can't exactly drink."

"Fuck it, give me two drinks then. I'll drink for you!"

"What'll you have?"

"Sex on the beach for the petite beauty, dear," an exotic-sounding voice said from behind Bonnie. "And it's on me."

Bonnie glanced to her right as the man she was just dancing with walked up. He was English, according to his accent. And he was so fucking tall, Bonnie wanted to climb him.

"And I'll have the Macallan."

Hayley rolled her eyes and grabbed the most expensive bottle of whiskey that was present and handed it to the tall, handsome, English stranger.

He only grinned at her as he took the bottle, which seemed to further annoy her, as her face formed into a glare. Then he turned to Bonnie and said, "Enjoy your night, love."

Then Bonnie watched as he disappeared again into the crowded club. When she turned back to Hayley, the bartender was now glaring at her, with her arms folded.

"What's that look for?"

A person a few seats down at the bar was attempting to wave Hayley down. Hayley glared at them too and snapped. "Just a minute!"

Then she turned back to Bonnie. "I see you've had the misfortune to meet Kol."

"You know that guy?! Introduce me!" She cringed inwardly when she realized how high school she sounded.

"NO. Girl, Kol Mikaelson is not the kind of guy you want to get involved with. Trust me, I would know!" She gestured to her baby bump.

"Oh my God, that's the father?! Please tell me I did not just ask to be introduced to the father of the child you're carrying."

"Kol's not the father. Ew. His brother is. And he's crazy, and so is Kol. They're not people you'd wanna get involved with."

"Ahh, they love 'em and leave 'em with parting gifts, eh?" Bonnie laughed.

"I'm serious. He bought you a drink, he's going to think that's easy access to getting in that thong."

Hayley pointed to the strap that had risen up from Bonnie's hip. "Oh come on, what's one night gonna do? I need some action."

"Nine months! That's what one night could do, ok?" Hayley softened her voice when Bonnie frowned. "Look, just promise me you'll stay away from him, please. He and his brothers are nothing but trouble and I don't want that for you. Or my baby girl."

She rubbed her belly. "Besides, don't you prefer girls?"

"Sometimes, but guys will do and Mama's going through a dry spell. The only woman worth my time is in another town. As I said, I need some action!"

"Look elsewhere! This ain't it. He's not worth it. I have to get back to work but I'll see you later, babez."

"Ok then, mama. You da boss!"

"Damn right, I am," Hayley winked and turned to the customers waiting.

The patrons Hayley had blown off earlier were getting antsy. One girl who had ginger-colored beach waves was particularly pretty. Not Bonnie's usual type, but she was at least pretty. She was sitting with a man but even so, Bonnie slid up to her with both drinks and instead of telling her how beautiful she was, she used her best Mack daddy voice to say, " Hi sweetheart, what are you up to tonight?"

The couple seemed surprised but genuinely intrigued at Bonnie's flirting. Bonnie loved hitting on straight girls. "Uhh, I'm just trying to get a drink with my man."

Her 'man' leered at Bonnie.

"It's all good, sugar. I got you a drink," Bonnie said, handing her one of her drinks. Then she cocked a brow. "You wanna dance?"

Bonnie took her hesitation as a cue to grab her arm encouragingly. "Come on," to the man she winked and said, "I'll bring her right back, I promise."

He nodded as Bonnie pulled away his girl to the dance floor, then proceeded to ogle their seductive dancing.

As she grinded with the redhead, the woman became more receptive with each sip of her drink. Out of the corner of her eye, Bonnie noticed Kol whispering into some uggo's ear who started cackling like a hyena.

He turned then and caught Bonnie's eye as if he sensed her gaze on him. He didn't smile or anything just watched her intently for a moment. She rolled her eyes and flipped her hair at him, and continued her suggestive grinding against her partner. While her dismissive attitude cast her eyes in another direction, Bonnie missed the intrigued expression her rebuff elicited in him.


Kol strutted up to the bar where Hayley was wiping glasses. She wouldn't look at him as she kept wiping and looking in every direction but in Kol's. She took the drink orders of two more patrons before she went back to wiping and disregarding Kol.

She was going to make this difficult. No worries, Kol intended on getting straight to the point. He cocked his head and flashed her his best charming smile in hopes of irritating her further. "Who's the girl, Hayley?"

"There are tons of girls in here, Kol. You're going to have to be more specific than that." Hayley still avoided eye contact as she wiped down the counter.

Growing irate with her ambiguity, Kol snatched her arm that held a centuries-old bracelet. "I could snatch this bracelet off in a second and make you tell me, or you could save us the trouble and just tell me who she is and why you told her to stay away from me."

"Let me go," she hissed.

Kol's expression went from annoyed to mischievous and he widened his eyes in mock concern. "No."

"Are you really going to cause a scene in your brother's club?" Hayley glared daggers at him.

"That's up to you Hayley. It would only affect your job, not mine, love. Why would I care about something like that?"

"You really don't care about anything, do you? The life of your unborn niece, you're the only family she has left."

"She's got Elijah as well."

Hayley scoffed. "I'll believe that when I see it."

"He shall come around, as I'm sure you will too. What is her name, love?" Kol was examining her wrists as if it were fascinating. He and Hayley each knew he was losing his patience.

"You know if you hurt me, you'd be hurting the baby too, right?" Hayley tried again.

At that, he furrowed his brows in another false display of concern.

"Rubbish, darling," Kol reached over and rubbed his free hand over Hayley's protruding belly. "I would never hurt our special little girl."

He gasped in actual awe when he felt a flutter. "Oh my, was that a kick?"

"You've upset her, she's defending me, Kol. She wants you to leave me the fuck alone."

"That's our girl. She'll be a tough one, just like her Uncle Kol." Kol sounded way too proud at the prospect of his niece being anything like him. Hayley thrust his hand from her womb. "But darling, Hayley, you have not given me a name or a reason to leave you be."

"It's Bonnie, ok? She comes in here randomly for the past few months and I told her the truth, that all you Mikaelson's are batshit crazy !"

Kol's firm grip on her arm softened to a gentle one and he squeezed lightly, then released her arm.

"So she'll know what to expect, then. Lovely!" He grinned deviously.

"You're disgusting." Hayley skewered him with a look of contempt, whereas Kol just pretended Hayley was one big belly. "You better leave her alone, Kol. She's hung up on some girl and I don't think some drunken hook-up is going to sway her interests to men. Especially not someone who-"

Kol kissed his fingertips and pressed them into her belly before he waltzed back into the crowd.

"I'll see you at dinner tomorrow night, darling sister. Take care of my little niece." He called.

Haley threw her rag down and ran a hand through her hair.

"Shit!"


The air felt remarkably crisp with a slight chill outside as Bonnie walked down the street, taking a deep breath to breathe it all in. It always helped to sober her because it was so stimulating. She needed to feel something to ease the sting of rejection from the ginger-haired girl. Rejection was the wrong term because the woman hadn't rejected her, her boyfriend stepped in and interrupted. They were grinding and carrying on and Bonnie moved in for a kiss and he was on them, like white on rice, pulling his girl back with a reprimanding tone. Bonnie left them to argue as she slipped outside. Now she was left to her own devices, devoid of human touch with nothing but the cool spring breeze to hug her.

She contented herself by reasoning that she wasn't her type, but she would have at least made out with her. Definitely wouldn't have gone home with her, but kissed her for sure. She just needed to feel the warm embrace of another body. She had tried online dating; it wasn't for her. She much preferred to meet people in person, anyway. She needed to meet someone new to occupy the space in her heart that she had left.

When Bonnie reached the corner of the street, she pulled out her phone and calculated how many minutes she could walk before an Uber picked her up at the spot she intended. She had about twelve minutes and decided she'd do a leisure walk instead of her usual power walk. Being a dancer, fitness was important to Bonnie, she was someone who tried to be active all throughout the day. Except she was wearing heels. Fuck.

She was about to submit her order for the Uber when a black sports car with tinted windows (Bonnie wasn't good with identifying cars) pulled up to the curb at her side. First, alarm racked her body, she figured it was the couple from earlier. But as the passenger window descended, she saw it was Kol Mikaelson, her other dancing partner from earlier.

Bonnie didn't know what to say so she said nothing. Kol said nothing either, just watched her with a languid stare, his head slightly cocked. Weird, Bonnie thought.

"Something you need?"

"Ahh, she speaks!" His relaxed face morphed into a wide grin. His eyes intensified as he asked, "May I offer you a ride to wherever you're going?"

"Uh. Um, no thanks, I'm good." His presence was partially intriguing and partially intimidating and Bonnie didn't want to exacerbate either feeling, especially feeling so vulnerable. That was apart from the fact that Hayley mentioned he was trouble of the worst kind.

Kol frowned for a split second, then glanced down at her heels.

"Those shoes look expensive, love. You'd risk ruining them?"

"They won't be ruined, I'm getting an Uber once I get down the street."

The Englishman frowned harder. "You're choosing an unfairly priced ride service over a free ride?"

Bonnie gave him an annoyed smirk as she attempted to hit the submit button on her order. Nothing was happening. "Well, when you put it that way! Goddammit."

She walked a few feet away, waving her phone around in the air.

"My service is shit out here!"

"Where are you going?" Kol called out from his car. Bonnie kept inching further away with her steps, trying to find reception.

"I just need to find reception," was her reply.

He opened the door of his car and walked around to the passenger side to lean against the door.

"I'll just walk, it's not that far."

"Darling, where is it you need to go?"

When she told him how far she was going (downtown LA was forty-five minutes away walking) he scowled at first then he laughed and opened the passenger door. "Get in, you cheeky girl. Those heels aren't going to last the time it takes you to get there and neither will the soles of your pretty little feet."

Sighing, Bonnie acquiesced to his stipulation. She walked over to him, equally in awe and intimidation of the inches had had on her (two things she loved were tall men and short women) meeting his gaze before she lowered herself into the passenger seat. She didn't miss the way his eyes soaked up the sight of her round ass in her low back mini dress.

He closed the door as she buckled her belt. He then rejoined her in the car as he took his seat and belt before he powered the engine. He looked in his driver's side mirror and saw Hayley waddling towards his car, waving him down. He smirked as he put the car in drive and peeled out.

Kol tapped on his touchscreen monitor on the dashboard, navigating to the music screen. "Any requests, love?"

"Some fucking coffee would be good." Bonnie sighed as she rested her head against the window, positioning herself so she had a steady view of Kol. She could really take in his features now. His eyes were intense and he had brown, gently tousled hair with matching full brows and a chiseled jawline. He was wearing a dark blue button-down that fit snug enough to emphasize the arms and chest muscles it concealed. His muscular arms housed large hands complete with long fingers that drummed against the steering wheel. Inwardly, she drooled at the potential his nimble fingers seem to promise.

"I know a place, but I was referring to music selection."

"Oh, what do you have?" She leaned up to the screen and browsed through the music.

"Everything you could imagine," Kol replied, smugly. He wasn't lying, he had everything from Beethoven to The Jackson 5, Zeppelin to Beyoncé. Bonnie was feeling edgy so she settled on Sleep Isabella by Abney Park.

"You have such an eclectic music selection," she said in awe. "I'm sorry, we weren't properly introduced. I'm Bonnie."

Without taking his eyes off the road, Kol reached for her hand and clasped it.

"A lovely name. It means beautiful, just like you. I'm Kol."

"It's nice to meet you,"

Kol turned to face her for a moment.

"The pleasure is all mine, sweetheart."

He brought her hand to his lips and gently kissed it. A moment later, Bonnie realized her hand was still in Kol's grasp and she pulled it back, more sharply than she intended to. "I'm sorry, I just needed my hand back."

Kol laughed. "Relax, darling! I don't bite. We're here, let's get some coffee."

"Ugh, we have to go inside?!" Bonnie groaned as he parked into a parking lot of a coffee house. "We can't just get some road coffee?"

"It will help you sober yourself." He exited the vehicle on his side then walked around the front of his car to open Bonnie's door. "Come, now."

"My feet are killing me!"

"I have a remedy for that," he leaned into her ear as they walked inside. "But I'd have to take you home for that to work."

"Ha! That's real smooth, Kol."

"It's the truth, love. Aren't you glad you didn't walk?"

They ordered their drinks that Kol paid for and sat down. "So what's the remedy?" Asked Bonnie.

"It's a family secret."

Bonnie rolled her eyes. "If you plan on taking me home, just say that."

"I'd need your contact information first," He smiled mischievously. "What if I wanted to see you again?"

Against her better judgment and Hayley's warning, Bonnie decided to give him her number. It may have been the liquor but she couldn't possibly fathom what the harm was if she hung out with him for just one night. It could be a discreet, no-strings type deal.

"Here, let me see your phone." Bonnie put her number in his phone and sent herself a text message.

"Fantastic!" Kol said as her phone dinged. "But I should make myself clear. If I wanted to take you home, we'd currently be there, and I wouldn't even have had to buy you a drink." His smile faded as he said that way too assuredly, that Bonnie figured he was serious.

"Why did you offer me a ride then?"

"You thanked me for the dance, but not the drink, then you haughtily snubbed me for your lady friend on the dancefloor. What game are you playing?"

Bonnie buried her face in her hands. "You did all this just to scold me on my club decorum?"

"That's not an answer, Bonnie." His eye regarded her with a cold glint. She wondered who'd hurt him in the past.

"Look I'm sorry if you thought that me letting you grind up on me out on the dancefloor and accepting your drink gave you some cute little ideas but I don't think that's where this is going. In case you didn't notice, I was grinding up on everyone. I was just drunk and I needed…" Bonnie scoffed. "You know what, never mind."

"This was a mistake, I think I'm just gonna get that Uber." Bonnie got up and left without her drink.

Guess it wasn't happening tonight. She exhaled deeply.


Bonnie's breath became staggered as Kol continued lapping at her clit with his tongue in an unforgiving fashion. She pressed his head into her as her toes curled and she let out an extended wail as her orgasm took over. Her internal muscles contracted as Kol finished stimulating her most sensitive bundle of nerves.

"Bonnie," Kol ascended up her body as her legs continued to shake. He dotted kisses up her stomach and found her mouth. He engaged her in a sweet kiss that was inundated with desire and affection. "I want you to settle yourself on me, you'll control the depth of penetration,"

Kol drove two fingers into her, rubbing them on a spot that made Bonnie jerk her hips forward. "Descend until you feel me reach this spot. Then resume winding your hips up and down, but focus on hitting your mark."

Bonnie did as instructed when Kol rolled over on his back and beckoned her to sit on his upstanding cock. She was internally grateful, being that she didn't have much experience with men. She slid down on the second dick to ever have the pleasure of penetrating her, which wasn't as difficult as it was the first time because she was already so wet and aching for him. But he was huge and Bonnie knew there was no way this would have ever worked if he hadn't properly prepped her because as wet as she was, there was some resistance and pain going in due to how thick he was. She knew his length wouldn't go to the hilt but his thickness also didn't slide in without some coaxing. Once she had it past the mushroom tip, she slowly pushed herself down while Kol rubbed her clit, which helped her relax enough to open up as much as Kol needed to get through.

With a hiss, Kol sucked in a breath as he penetrated what was left of the barrier that was left of her virginity. She had informed him that she only had penetrative sex just once, years ago and for Kol it was as though her virginity was still intact. Which was fine with him, she felt fucking exquisite! So tight and warm, her walls gripping him just right. The only qualm he had was that he wished to fill her to the brink. At this time he could only hope to reach a satisfying enough spot for now, they'd need more sessions to train Bonnie to be able to take his whole length. He couldn't wait for her to be able to receive him as deeply as he could give her.

Bonnie paused before she'd reached her designated mark. "I can't,"

"No worries love, you can move now. It'll help you take me deeper eventually."

"Tonight?!"

Kol didn't answer as she began moving up and down and her tightness wrapped around him, constricting his muscles, just begging to milk all of his baby batter. After a few moments of that, Bonnie realized with a gasp that she'd sank down on him far enough when she was close to the mark he'd indicated. He pushed himself a bit further until he hit it.

"Ohhh!"

"Ugh right there, darling, do you feel it?" he rubbed it for emphasis.

"Mmmm, yeah,"

"Does it feel good?"

She nodded.

"Ride me, Bonnie," he said and she began rocking her hips back and forth. The feeling was fucking sensational! "You're about to cum, Bonnie, do you feel it building up?"

"Oh yes! Yes!"

Kol was about to cum too, it was too good not to. "Don't stop love," he panted. "Ughhnnnhhh tell me how it feels Bonnie!"

"Ama- ziiiing!"

Aiding in Bonnie's ministrations, he thrust into her harder until they descended over the edge. Kol faced Bonnie's head towards him as they both grunted and came together, bucking from the genitalia. He had a thing about eye contact. He didn't care to look any of his partners in the eyes during their sex, but for some reason, he couldn't look away from Bonnie. There was something about this girl and her in-your-face attitude. It added to her beauty. Plus he was mesmerized by the look of pure elation she wore that he'd elicited when he stimulated any of her most sensitive areas. Her green eyes lit up with a glow of satisfaction and he knew he had to have her again, it would never get old.

Bonnie released her vaginal clutch on his shaft and collapsed on his chest. They laid there for a while, both heaving.

"Thank you for the drink. And the coffee. And the ride. And for bringing my coffee after I left the coffee shop."

Kol looked down at the beauty atop his chest.

"Is that all I must do to elicit a reaction out of you?"

"You healed my would've been blistered feet, you let me drive your car, and you fucked my brains out, which, clearly I really needed. The least I can do is thank you for your earlier kindness. "

"I won't believe I'm capable of fucking your brains out until you're able to receive all of me, right down to the base. Then we can revisit that notion. As for the other parts, I wanted to do you a kindness. I was worried I'd never see you again."

"And I really appreciate the fuck out of it, Kol. I do. But you've done enough for one night."

Bonnie hopped up, grabbed her clothes, and went into his master bathroom to clean herself up. Two minutes later she returned fully dressed and holding her shoes.

"Really, thanks for everything. My Uber is here now, so I'm going to say goodnight,"

Kol opened his mouth to protest, but Bonnie walked over to him, and kissed his lips firmly. She smiled at him. "I'll see you around,"

After she left his room, Kol walked out to the balcony, still fully nude, and looked down at Bonnie getting into a car. I'll see you around? His hands gripped the railing so hard, it became dented. He knew it was no use, he had to let her go for now.


"Kol is late as usual," Esther heaved a disappointed sigh. She sat at the head of the dining table while Hayley and Rebekah sat across from one another on each side of Esther.

"He must have stayed out late, he was at the club last night, wasn't he, Hayley?" Rebekah asked.

"I'm not his keeper." Hayley rolled her eyes at Rebekah.

"You really don't have to be so rude. Don't be so angry, lass. It's bad for the baby."

"I wouldn't even have a reason to be rude if any of you gave a shit about my baby!"

"Enough, ladies!" Esther called. "Hayley," Esther gave her best soothing voice. "We are all very excited to welcome a new member into the family. However, if you and Niklaus would simply try to find some common ground, then we can continue to accommodate you and the child."

Hayley cast her eyes upwards in annoyance while she shook her head. "Not gonna happen Esther." She folded her arms. The bitch wasn't even accommodating her! Esther wanted Klaus and Hayley to get married to protect the family image, otherwise, she and the baby would be shunned by the whole family, except for Kol. For some reason, he had a soft spot for her since he found out she was pregnant. He had hopes that this baby would bring his family back together. There was a reason he settled in his own home, away from the family home was so that Hayley could raise her child there without much interference from his family. For this, Kol was tasked with the role of protecting Hayley, while Esther waited for her to come to an agreement to marry Klaus. She stayed with Kol and came to weekly family dinners with the Mikaelson's who decreed she had until the baby was born to make her decision. The fact that Hayley had fallen for Elijah complicated things, so she couldn't marry Klaus. Elijah, ever the noble, one took it upon himself to exile himself from his clan. This made Kol cross with her, so he constantly harassed Hayley. Even so, he was still the best ally she had of all the Mikaelson's.

"Then you can both rot in the gutter." Rebekah declared with a devious smile as she sipped her wine.

Esther sighed at her daughter's abrasive behavior.

"What? We can't condone a bastard child, now can we mother?" She asked her mother who only sipped her wine slowly.

Just then, tire wheels were heard screeching to a stop in the driveway. Heavy metal music was blasting from the vehicle until the engine turned off.

Hayley mentally rolled her eyes at how extra this family was. Klaus and Kol strolled into the dining room then. Klaus smiled, approaching Hayley and she glowered at him, much to his dismay. Instead of stopping to greet her he passed her over and placed a kiss on his mother's cheek, as Kol made his rounds doing the same to all the ladies present. He always did it to Hayley even though she flinched out of the way each time.

"Kol, you're late again," Esther boomed, reprimanding as Kol backed away from her kissed cheek.

"Time is merely a social construct, Mother. And I had to make an entrance, didn't I?" Kol beamed as he sat next to Hayley while Klaus took the seat next to Rebekah.

"Kol was just telling me how he had called it an early night." Klaus grinned knowingly. Esther faced forward, stone-faced. Her children knew she was not with the shits and yet they still carried on how they did.

Hayley rubbed her belly, smirking at Kol. Kol smiled back at her, relishing in the fact that he did naughty deplorable things with the very friend Hayley demanded he stay away from, basically deflowering her. He'd even banned her from returning home until late the next morning. Really, what could a heavily pregnant vulnerable chit like her do?

"Kol ditched me at the bar last night and I had to close up all by myself. Oh yeah, heavy lifting was definitely involved. It was inventory night." Kol's smile faded as Hayley ratted him out.

Klaus fumed and Esther's face turned stern.

"Heavy lifting is harmful to the baby! What could have compelled you to leave your unborn niece to such reckless endangerment? Were you not the one who vouched for this child to be a part of our family? Were you not tasked with keeping Hayley protected for the sake of the child's health? Do you even care that you have obligations?!" Esther thundered.

Hayley further goaded Esther. "Not what, who. Well, Kol? What's your excuse for being such a terrible uncle?"

Everyone looked at Kol expectantly, but he was busy shooting murderous glares in Hayley's direction. Hayley, who just grinned like she'd won a new car, kept rubbing her belly.

"Look at me, Kol!"

Kol squeezed his eyes shut a moment and then met his mother's piercing eyes with defiance.

"I'm in love, Mother." He declared, dramatically but giving serious vibes of...seriousness? Of course, Klaus and Rebekah could not take him seriously and guffawed boisterously at his admission. "You fools can laugh if you wish, but I know you're only jealous that you've never known true love." He popped a grape in his mouth. "And it's likely you never will."

"A casual dalliance with a complete stranger does not equate to love, boy." Esther sounded like she was trying not to lose her temper. "Who is she?"

"Bonnie. My beautiful Bonnie." He answered breathlessly, grossing Hayley out.

"I bet you don't even know her last name," Hayley said.

Kol glanced around. Who cares if he didn't know her full name yet? He could find all that out in due time. He did his best to defend himself.

"What does it matter? It's but a trivial pursuit when involving matters of the heart."

"It's Bennett. Bonnie Bennett has got your little boy's heart in her clutches, Esther. And I tried to warn him, but does Kol think of anyone besides himself? No, not even his niece he claims to care about so much." Hayley shook her head in dismay, still donning her smug ass smile.

Esther shot up from her seat. "Kol, a word. Now. "

Esther didn't wait for him to respond before she left the room. Kol rushed at Hayley and huffed, flaring his nostrils as he caged her in, grasping both sides of her chair.

"Due date is coming up, Hayley. When that little girl is born, you'd better watch your back." He hissed in her face. This guy is my only ally in this family, Hayley thought, mentally shaking her head. She returned his dirty look in kind, hissing right back at him.

"She needs a mother, Kol!"

Before Kol could respond Klaus reminded him that their mother had requested an audience with him.

"Kol, don't keep mother waiting," Klaus warned. He hated the sight of his brother intimidating the mother of his child but if Hayley did not marry him, he would have to disown the child so as not to mar his prestigious family name. In that respect, he chose not to get attached, especially knowing she harbored affection for his brother Elijah.

"Yeah, yeah," Kol said, rising up slowly while keeping Hayley locked in his glare. Kol scoffed and stepped around Hayley.

Hayley still glared at Klaus, even though she was used to Klaus letting Kol get away with anything, including pushing her around. On rare occasions, did he intervene, figuring Hayley usually deserved her fate since she wouldn't cooperate with the family. She had until the baby was born to make her decision, she was protected (very feebly protected) until then. Klaus would not be an active part of the child's life, but he claimed he'd keep Hayley and the child well-compensated if she chose not to marry him. He was a fucking stuck-up coward.

So when he tried to offer Hayley comfort, after Kol's roughing up, she wondered why he even dared to speak.

"Hayley," he began. Hayley rose from her seat and screamed.

"I just lost my fucking appetite!"

"I AM SPEAKING TO YOU!" Klaus stood up and bellowed as Hayley stormed from the room.

"Oh come, Nik give her a break. It can't be easy being an actual beach whale. Besides, there's more dinner for us." Rebekah giggled as she pulled her brother back into his seat.

"Fuck you, Bekah!" they heard Hayley scream again.

"Not until you pop that baby out!"

Rebekah was such a cunt.
