Hayley was sitting there in the nursery, in the rocking chair and waited for inspiration to come into her mind. She waited for so long to write this down and didn't know exactly how. Lola came inside the nursery and touched Hayley's belly. "Yes, it should be any day now." Hayley told Lola with a smile on her face. Lola grinned and looked excited for Hayley to give birth to her baby sister at last. A few weeks had passed since Father Kieran's funeral and all was well in New Orleans, except for the fact that Klaus and Marcel had once again battled right in the heart of New Orleans for dominance in the city. Klaus had won of course but he tried his very best not to kill Marcel. Rebekah would have never forgiven him if he had done so. Klaus had been victorious but not for long. Hayley was trying hard to think about what to write in this letter of hers but couldn't think of the right words especially when Lola was grinning like mad while she was looking at the door. Hayley smiled with her. "What is it?" Hayley looked up and there was Klaus, leaning against the frame of the doorway, smirking. "Writing a love letter to one of your many suitors?" Lola smiled again, looked at Hayley and then wandered off. Klaus smiled at the little girl. He had grown very fond of her and felt like a father to her already, which Hayley liked. Lola was like a test for him to prove that he really would be a good father for her daughter. Klaus smirked again as he continued speaking. "So, who is the lucky recipient then? Jackson or Elijah?" Hayley smiled and tried to avoid eye contact with him, feeling teased. Klaus gasped. "Don't tell me it's me!" At this, Hayley couldn't help herself but start laughing. "I thought I was out of the running ages ago." Klaus told her. "And the award for the biggest ego goes to…" She pointed at him and he started laughing just as much as she was smiling. Hayley felt a big kick and smiled, rubbing her belly gently. Klaus approached. "How is our littlest wolf?" Hayley looked surprised. "Do you want to…?" she asked, pointing at her belly. He wanted to. He wanted to put his hand on her stomach and feel the life he had created with this beautiful werewolf girl but he hesitated and that made Hayley mock him with a smile, a smile which he returned. "Come on." she encouraged him with a flirty stare. Klaus contemplated going over there. Finally, he did. He slid next to Hayley and gently put his hand on her belly, carefully trying to feel something as Hayley watched him. Finally, he felt the kick right underneath his palm. It was the baby's kick. Klaus gasped and Hayley gave him a light filled, genuine smile. "Feel that?" She giggled and Klaus finally smiled. Hayley saw it. She saw the good in him, but Klaus pulled up his straight face in a couple of seconds and the moment was gone when he looked away. He was getting too close to Hayley and he couldn't have that. He could be close to their little girl but he couldn't get too close to Hayley. He was scared to do that, especially when she seemed interested in his brother and not him. He pulled away. "Right. I'll leave you to your secret letter then." he whispered and as Klaus walked away, a look of disappointment washed over Hayley's face. She wanted him to stay. She didn't want to share this sort of thing with anyone but him. Not even Elijah. Klaus was the father of this baby and she was growing to care for him in her own way. Why would he be so distant with her? He could have been giving her space but she knew that was not it at all. His spiteful self whenever he talked about Jackson or Elijah around her astounded her. Why would he care so much about her so called suitors? Either way, he failed to realize that this letter was to none other than their little girl, no one else. She loved both of these two people. She loved her daughter and she had grown to love Niklaus Mikaelson as well.
Things didn't follow well for Hayley and Klaus. The Guerra werewolves have taken over New Orleans after the deal they made with the witches. Genevieve and the others captured Hayley and took her to the church where she gave birth to the one and only Hope Mikaelson. Hope was ripped out of her mother's arms and was taken away from her. Monique slit her throat with the knife she was planning to use on the baby's sacrifice and the last thing Hayley heard was Klaus screaming in agony as she blacked out. Klaus and Elijah went after the baby, after grieving over Hayley's dead body. Surprisingly, Hayley remembered how she woke up and there was someone standing there with tears in her eyes. She saw the watery eyes of a little girl. It was Lola. She was there with her. "We have to go. The baby is in danger." she whispered, frightened. Hayley held her hand over her throat, feeling something remotely odd about her. She had died but she came back to life, all because of having her child's blood in her system. She was supposed to do it now. She was supposed to drink the blood of her child if she was to survive transitioning into the thing she always feared to become, a hybrid. She could see the fear in Lola's eyes, the fear of a small werewolf who had in front of her a transitioning hybrid. Lola felt like Hayley was her mother. She could not abandon her. "We have to find Elijah and Klaus. My baby is in danger. They've taken her from me. They are going to sacrifice her!" Lola moved quickly after her and the two of them, mother and adoptive daughter ran out of the church.
Klaus and Elijah were in the cemetery, looking for Hope. The witches cast a spell as to make this place confusing for anyone. "We have searched everywhere. She's not here, Niklaus!" Elijah yelled out and kicked something, in anger. He cared so much about Hayley, the person who had died and now the last thing he needed was to see his niece die in the hands of some manipulative witches. Hayley and Lola caught up to them and ran in the place they were. "Then we'll keep searching. We'll go faster." Klaus told his brother, scraping the walls, looking for clues." "They're smarter." Hayley whispered as she stepped out of the darkness with Lola at her side. Klaus and Elijah were shocked to see her right in front of them. They both thought she had died. How could she still be alive? "Hayley." Elijah whispered. Hayley stepped forward. Lola quivered behind her but got the courage to run right into Elijah's arms and hug him dearly. Klaus couldn't understand what was happening as Hayley went even closer to him, looking mummified. "Hayley, what happened to you, love? I thought you were gone." Klaus whispered, not being able to take his eyes off her as she came even closer to him. "I woke up in the church. I felt this hunger. I can feel her, Klaus. She's here. I can feel my baby." Hayley whispered to him and almost collapsed as Klaus caught her in his arms. "Easy, love, easy." he whispered. Hayley wrapped her arms around his neck for stability as Lola wept on Elijah's shoulder. Klaus ran his hand through her hair as she continued to look at him deep in the eyes. Klaus felt it all too well. "You died with the baby's blood still in your system." He whispered to her and Hayley's expression changed. She looked even more lifeless now. She was sick of thinking of what she had become. "You are in transition…" "…which means you have to drink the blood of the child if you are to survive." Elijah finished Klaus's sentence, giving Lola hugs and kisses, something a child who has been through a lot and watched many loved ones die could use and deserves. "To be reborn a hybrid." Klaus replied to Hayley's question in her eyes. Her face welled up with tears and there was no stopping them. "I don't care about me. I want to find our daughter." Hayley whispered to him. Klaus pulled her into his arms as she continued crying. Elijah watched them closely and realized what was going on. He cleared his throat. "We must get going before we are too late. We have to have my niece. She is in grave danger." Elijah put down Lola and hurried out of the cave they were in. Hayley looked into Klaus' eyes and pulled away from him, having realized how weak she must have looked in front of him and she didn't want that. "Come with me. Let's save our hope." Klaus held out his hand for her to take. "Hope." she whispered and Klaus smiled. "The perfect name, don't you think?" Hayley also smiled when she thought about it. They never took the time to brainstorm baby names but this one was perfect.
Hayley could remember the way she ran desperately with Elijah and Klaus at her side. She could feel Hope. She could feel her daughter was close and the boys trusted her to lead them to her. Hope was on a rock, ready to be sacrificed by Genevieve. "NO!" Hayley yelled out when she saw the terrifying sight before her. Elijah grabbed a stone vase and threw it with force, hurting Genevieve and making her drop the knife. Lola moved everyone out of the way and ran to grab Hope herself but was stopped by Abigail who pinned her to the ground with a spell. She screamed so loud, anyone in the city could have heard her. "Leave her alone!" Klaus roared and moved himself forward to save both of the little girls he cared so deeply about. As Hayley battled with Genevieve, Monique and Abigail used all the power they got from the ancestors to keep Elijah, Klaus and Lola from saving Hope. "You fools! You come here in our place of power at our strongest hour. You don't face three. You face all of us." Monique declared, referring to all the witches of New Orleans who had died but their spirits remained in that cemetery. "Klaus!" Hayley called out as Genevieve had her trapped to the ground, controlling her mind with her powers. Klaus threw a knife and stabbed Abigail as hard as he could with it. Abigail died instantly, leaving Monique the only one who could complete the sacrifice. She grabbed the knife and before she could stab Hope with it and feed her ancestors, something sharp was thrown in her stomach and as blood poured out of her insides, she died. It was Marcel. Hayley turned to face Elijah and Klaus who watched stunned as Marcel grabbed Hope and left the cemetery with her. Klaus rushed after him. Genevieve lay weak on the ground as Elijah came over and tried to help Hayley stand up. "No, where is she?" she asked in desperation. "Niklaus and Marcellus have her. There is nothing to worry about, Hayley. It's all over." "Marcel saved her life. He saved my baby's life." Hayley whispered and Elijah nodded. "I underestimated this one." he whispered. Genevieve was still on the ground, weak and powerless, filled with blood on her face. "She controlled me. She wanted me to do this for her. There is no one like her, no witch as powerful as her. You have to believe me. I didn't mean to kill your daughter." Hayley slapped her once again and Elijah grabbed her, tying her to a stone in a cave as they began their interrogation. Genevieve kept talking about how she wanted peace with Klaus' mother, Esther and how she wanted to please her. "She warned me that she would kill me if I didn't do as she told me. She would have killed me." Genevieve told the two. Hayley didn't care about her and about her lies or explications. What she did know is that a little while ago, this witch would have driven a dagger into her newborn daughter's heart. "You don't deserve to live." Hayley whispered in her face with any mercy showing. Elijah looked stunned at this new Hayley. What was she thinking? Why was she being different now? Lola entered the cave, her clothes filled with blood and the dagger with which Monique and Genevieve tried to kill Hope, in her hands. Hayley ran over to her and apologized for getting Lola in this mess. "I am so sorry, sweetie." she whispered as Lola gave Hayley the dagger. The two turned to face Genevieve. "Hayley, have mercy." Genevieve's eyes poured with blood and Elijah knew what was happening to her. This was her punishment from her ancestors because she failed them. "Your baby will never be safe as long as she's alive. I would have done you a huge favor. It's either she dies or she lives her life in paranoia and fear." Genevieve told them. Hayley was angered by the situation she was in. How was this woman telling her about how Hope would have been better off had she been killed? "Tell Klaus, that I am sorry." Genevieve whispered just before Hayley drove the dagger in her stomach. "I'm not." she whispered, killing her.
They had decided, just as Lola was holding her baby sister in her hands. They had decided what had to be done in order to save Hope. Hayley had decided to drink a little bit of her blood in order to survive her transitioning into a hybrid. Hayley had taken the time to think it through and he shared her plan to Elijah and Klaus after a moment in which she said all she had to say about her love for her daughter and what a cruel world she entered. "I think the only thing to do is send her away, while we stay behind and clean up the mess that we've made." Hayley told them and she looked mostly at Klaus when she said that. She wanted to hear his opinion the most. They were the parents and they had to decide what was best for their daughter. "I think this could work, Elijah." Klaus whispered. "This is insane, brother. You heard Genevieve! As long as that child lives, it will be hunted." Elijah pointed to the infant Lola was holding. "Not if no one knows that she lives." Klaus whispered. "What is it that you intend to do, brother?" "Whatever it takes to save our family, to keep it safe." Hayley agreed. "Who are we going to give Hope to? We can't just give her to anyone. It should be someone that we can positively trust and we don't have that many people." Elijah asked. "There is only one person." Hayley told them and Klaus nodded, knowing what she had been thinking about and who she had in mind. They were going to give Hope away to the one person who could raise her the way they wanted her to be raised. The Original sister, Rebekah Mikaelson. Klaus had taken Hope to her one night. They met somewhere private where Klaus offered his daughter to Rebekah and she was only too happy to take her and raise her as her own. She had always wanted a daughter and knew very well how to protect her from harm's way. She even felt honored that Hayley suggested her out of all people. "She will be safe with me. I promise I will protect her with my life. I will get a witch to help me." Rebekah explained to Klaus. Klaus smiled and nodded. "Rebekah, despite our differences, there is no one that I would else I would rather have raising my daughter." Rebekah smiled and asked. "What is her name?" "Hope. Her name is Hope." Klaus whispered and Rebekah's smile widened.
Hayley could not move out of the nursery. She stayed there with Lola by her side. She still had one daughter with her, even though her biological one had to be sent away, protected with any cost. Klaus entered her room swiftly and Hayley looked up with tears in her eyes. Lola left them alone once again. "Is it done?" Hayley asked and Klaus nodded. "I gave her to Rebekah and she will be taking good care of her. The whole town thinks that she is dead. We must act like we are grieving parents now, Hayley or they will never buy it. Everyone must think her death is real, especially Francesca and the Guerra family." Hayley looked out onto the balcony, still crying as Klaus wrapped his arms around her, resting his chin on her head. "The whole town is mourning her supposed death. It makes me feel like she really is gone." "Well, she's not." Klaus whispered in her ear. "She's still been taken away from me. I hate people for that. I hate witches, I hate…" Hayley was stopped with a searing and hot kiss from Klaus, while tears were still streaming down her face. Hayley reacted to the kiss by pulling him even closer. She had no idea how much she really needed him with her right now. She needed him so much. Klaus pulled away and wrapped his arms around her, pressing his forehead on hers. "Your transition is complete. You will need to learn the ways of a hybrid and I will be the one to teach you. I promise I will teach you and I will care for you the way you deserve." Hayley was so overwhelmed by everything that she didn't know what to say. She and Klaus just kissed, she was a hybrid and her daughter was gone with the whole town thinking that she was dead. "There is a lot that I need to take in." Hayley whispered, still crying her eyes out. They shared a very comforting hug in which Klaus pressed light kisses on her shoulder and neck. "I will help you find your way. You are not alone, little wolf." "Why do you keep calling me that? I am not a little wolf anymore. I am not even a wolf." Klaus smiled. "You will always be my little wolf to me. From the day we first met, till now, quite a journey." This made Hayley smile and stop crying as she looked deep in Klaus' eyes. "I promise you that I will bring her back. I will bring her back to us when the time is right but like you said, now is the time that we clean up the mess that we've made. I don't want you to feel any pressure, any guilt because I am the one to be blamed for everything, not you, love. Not you." It was a long way and they had many obstacles to overcome in this new and strange relationship of theirs, but they had each other and they were going to fight for their kingdom side by side until all of their enemies were dead and their daughter could come home to them. It was their chance, their hope. They had to take it, and they had to do it together to succeed.
