Hayley Pov

...

I smiled, as I peered down at my beautiful baby girl, Hope.

Elijah had just told me what Klaus' plan was. I was tired. Being a hybrid seemed to take a lot out of you.

Or maybe I was feeling guilty.

I had already gone through five blood bags. It wasn't long before, I was reaching for my sixth. I turned, hearing a heartbeat, then relaxed. It was just Klaus.

Though he didn't have any wounds, he looked like he was in pain.

"Hayley, the car is waiting. It would be best that they didn't miss their flight."

I nodded and handed Hope to Klaus feeling an emptiness in my chest.

He smirked down at her even though she was sleeping. I knew without a doubt that she was going to be her father's daughter, and I didn't have a problem with that.

I winced seeing Luna passed out in the back seat, Cami had Luna's head in her lap.

I saw Rebekah follow my gaze, there seemed to be a permanent frown etched onto her face. Klaus gently kissed our daughter's forehead. Klaus handed Hope gently over to Rebekah. She put Hope into the car seat. Damon got into the passenger seat, but before he did, he acknowledged me by nodding in my direction.

Luna and Hope lay still.

Both of their faces were so peaceful, both in a deep sleep. One would wake up happy, and the other one would be distraught, angry, confused, and hurt.

The car drove away, and it was just me and Klaus standing outside the compound.

"I will miss his sarcastic comments," I said, referring to Damon. Klaus did not laugh or smile. Instead, he simply said, "I will miss all of them."

I noticed that his voice had cracked up. I turned to him and wrapped my arms around him. He tensed up, but I didn't let go. Right now, he just needed a hug, compassion. No matter how much he didn't want to admit it. I might not be Luna, but I still wanted to try and comfort him to the best of my ability.

"Don't lose yourself in the pain and anger. If you want all of them to come back, we need to clean up the mess we've made."

Klaus returned my hug, and I felt better. I loved him, and he loved me.

Not in the way most people were thinking. He cares for me as I care for him. He gave me my beautiful daughter, and I love him for that. I love him because he makes my sister happy.

But If my heart had to belong to any man, it would be Elijah.
