A/N Another update. Again thank you so much to everyone who has responded to this story! It is completely amaze-balls!

Disclaimer- I have nothing to do with The Vampire Diaries or The Originals except what my imagination stirs up!

CarolinePOV

"He has Klaus, I know it"

I spat out as soon as we had got back to the safety of the originals home.

Elijah agreed and went to get us a drink. I heard a noise come from upstairs, startled I looked towards Elijah for an explanation

"Caroline, there is something I left out earlier but I feel the time has come to fill you in"

Just as he said it, the last person I ever expected to see here walked in through the door. Looking as surprised as I was stood the traitor were-bitch Hayley. Hand on her stomach looking between Elijah and me. The term what the fuck? Come to mind.

My eyes went from Hayley, to her stomach to Elijah waiting for a reason as to why she is here.

"Hayley has become a member of our family, and is living here with us"

The woman in question made her way towards the sofa and made herself comfortable mumbling under her breath

"Not that I have a choice"

I on the other hand was desperately trying to figure this out, I could see the small but obvious protruding bump and could hear the second heart beat, what I couldn't figure out was why is she here? How is she still alive? And who is the father of that child? Tyler swore to me nothing happened between them, unless it was all just a lie so he could hide it from me, was that why he didn't come back to college with me? But how could Klaus let her live here and not kill her? After all she helped Tyler and the other hybrids break their sire bond. I looked back to Elijah for answers.

"I know you must be confused Caroline, Hayley is here because of a 'scotch fuelled bad decision making one night stand' as she likes to call it with Niklaus. He is the father of the child. Apparently as he was born a werewolf he can procreate as it was magic that made him a vampire. Due to the rivalry between the witches and Marcel, they have threatened the life of Hayley and the baby unless Niklaus helps the witches take him down. They are using her as their insurance policy so to speak, so she is here with us for protection."

I was stunned; feelings of anger and hatred for how she betrayed Tyler and the others slowly moved aside for ...jealousy? Looking at her and thinking about her and Klaus made me feel sick and it hurt, I don't know why I'm jealous but there is no other explanation for this feeling of wanting to rip her hair out and just go all psycho vampire on her. She sat with her hands on her stomach, looking for my reaction. Klaus had obviously known about the pregnancy when he returned for my graduation? Why would he promise to wait for me if he was having a child with another woman?

What shocked me the most was that Klaus was alright with this, the big bad wolf that had no humanity except when it came to me was allowing this to happen.

"He cares?"

I didn't mean it to sound so harsh, as if it was so hard to believe that he could love his own child. Hayley shrugged and Elijah smiled

"My brother is not an affectionate man, but all his life he has only wanted family and the unconditional love that, that brings. He never believed that he had that from us, now he will have that in the form of his child"

I didn't know what to say or how to react, this was crazy. The idea of a mini Klaus was just crazy; Hayley being the one to have a mini Klaus is even crazier. I tried to shake all of the crazy out of my mind.

"It has been a bitch of day, so if neither of you mind I'm going to bed"

Elijah stood up as I left giving me a nod of understanding, Hayley remained there silent.

I am beyond confused as to what I am feeling right now, I have no right to be jealous. I don't want to be jealous but obviously I don't really have a choice in that matter. I changed into my pyjamas and got into the heavenly soft bed snuggling right up in the middle. Images of Hayley and Klaus together filled my mind. They must have got their freak on before the night she betrayed the other hybrids as I can't see anything happening between the two of them except for him ripping her heart out after it. Suddenly images of Hayley with a gaping hole in her chest where her heart should be came to mind; I quickly banished the images horrified that I would imagine such a thing especially now that she is pregnant no matter how much I hate her I would never wish a pregnant woman any harm. Maybe Klaus was having more of an effect on me than I would like to admit.

I turned onto my side looking out the window seeing all the bright lights filling the city below, the humans who went around every day completing mundane tasks unaware of the supernatural beings choosing which one of them would be super and living amongst them.

Klaus without a doubt is an extremely attractive man, with his perfectly chiselled cheek bones, those adorable jump my bones dimples, his beautiful 'fuck me' deep blue eyes and the presence of his constant stubble, something that suits him adding to his undeniable sex appeal. That being said do I really feel anything more for him? Is it only his physical body that makes me envy his encounter with Hayley or is it the fact that even though he tries to make every one fear him, I am the one person he has shown a glimpse of the real him too, he let me into his head. He showed me his study containing all his art work, showing me a personal side to him, sharing with me one of his passions, then gave me a little more by drawing me after the ball. He showed me mercy by giving Tyler a head start to run before the spell Bonnie cast on the Gilbert house wore off, he spared the lives of both Elena and Jeremy when they killed Kol, all for me.

Somewhere along the line I stopped being afraid that he would kill me, I knew he wouldn't harm me and I used that to my advantage, plotting and scheming against him. The first and real genuine thing I have ever done involving him was inviting him to my graduation, even I know don't know why I did that, but all the same he came, to be there for me.

When he left that night after his promise to wait for me, I guess it was the first time we parted on good terms, as friends even. Now and then during the summer he would cross my mind, but I kept telling myself that it was due to the fact that we had all gotten so used to looking over our shoulders in case he was lurking around somewhere, but I know deep down I missed how he always looked out for me, silly little gifts or the inappropriate comments just too make me snap at him, how he would look at me as if I was the only female in the world.

I hated how I was losing sleep over him, over the idea of him being with someone else, I always knew there was a thousand years' worth of women before me so why was I getting all prissy over this now? Deciding on a final resolve I promised myself that I would continue with this rescue mission, get him back from Marcel then leave him and his she-wolf to live happily ever after with their little bundle of fur.

I was jealous, but no matter how I may have been feeling about him before hearing the news it doesn't matter anymore, he has moved on. I turned him down for too long, strung him along and now he's gone, the promise of adventure and beauty, all gone.

A/N Thank you for reading you amazing people! Sorry about the shortness but I felt that it was the right time to stop, with Caroline lying in bed thinking about all that she has discovered.

Reviews would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
