Its been a week since I was turned human. Wow did that sound weird to anyone else as well? Okay, so anyway things haven't been to bad. The first few days sucked because I would get drunk and forget that my tolerance is a lot lower now, but I also wanted to dull the pain. Klaus has been helping me adjust. Well I guess hes actually been protecting me, because I'm not used to not being able to heal myself and stuff. It's a hard thing to adjust to. So in other news, Hayley was about to pop anyday now. Ive been hanging out with her a lot more lately. I no longer feel jealous of her now that I can have a baby. By the way Klaus always changes the subject when we might have sex. Its like he's afraid I'm going to break or something. I mean I don't want to have a baby with Klaus right now. I don't even know if I really ever want to have one, but I would like to atleast sleep with him. Other than that things are going pretty good which means soon everything is going to go wrong. Anyway, I go over to hang out with Hayley. I also think that Klaus is worried about us hanging out together. I don't know if hes worried I'll want a baby or worried that Hayley and I are comparing notes. We aren't by the way. When I walk in I notice that people are moving boxes and luggage. This baffles me at first, but then I realize that its my stuff. What is going on? I storm off to see Klaus painting ofcourse. I was so mad at him. He must have heard me because he stood up and walked towards me. I asked," What are you doing with my stuff?"

He said," I'm putting it into one of our guest rooms?"

"Why the guest room?"

He smirked," Would you prefer to live in my room…."

Now I was mad." You cant just move my stuff without my permission!"

"Love, you're mortal now I cant have you living by yourself."

"Screw you, Klaus."

He laughed," Maybe later love I'm a little busy right now."

He turned around and went back to his painting. I was so angry that I grabbed a glass vase off the table and threw it at his head. I missed because my aim was off, but it did startle him a little. Then I walked out of the house.

I wanted to go back to my apartment, but now aparrently I lived with Klaus. I mean he didn't even discuss it with me. I mean don't most couple have a conversation before they move in together? I walked around most of the day, which is what Ive been doing a lot lately. Then I realized that I forgot about Hailey, so I rush back to hang with her. When I got there she wasn't there. Then I received a call that Hayley was taken by the witches. But what could I do I was only human. But I knew that I had to do something. So I searched for Hayley in all the witch places I could think of. Then I found something. I walked inside and saw Klaus on the floor crying with a dead Hayley in his arms. I wanted to cry and scream as well, but one of us had to keep it together. Then I asked,"Klaus?"

He replied," The witches…they took the baby."

"Find Elijah and go get the baby."

"But Hayley…"

"I'll stay here. Now get up and save the baby!"

I don't know if it was my fierce tone or what but he got up and he was gone in a second. When I knew he was gone I broke down crying. Hayley was the only friend I had ever had. She was what brought hope back to this family. What would we do without her? Klaus cant raise a baby on his own. The grief will kill him. It will kill us all. Then I thought I saw her move. I leaned down and checked her pulse, but there was nothing. But then her eyes flicked open. I quickly jumped back. How was it possible? But then I knew this was possible. I was so very happy that she was alive, but I hated that she came back this way.

Hayley was not going to slow down so I followed her to the cemetery. I wanted so badly to help and go in, but I knew that if I went in there I would put them all in danger. I couldn't do that to them. I couldn't make their focus shift from the baby to me. I wouldn't let them lose this battle. So I told Hayley that I couldn't follow her. She seemed to understand. I hated not to help. I hated that I was coming to terms with my mortality.

What happened next was the saddest thing that I think any of us had to do. They had saved the baby, but only for a moment. I don't know how Klaus and Hayley could make this decision because I wouldn't be strong enough to do it. But they were stronger than me. They were going to hide the baby and fake her death. I knew it wasn't my decision to make, but I felt attached now and I didn't want her to leave. I understood this was necessary though. I also knew that Klaus would need me to get through this. I went to visit him and the sweet baby. He was holding her in his loving embrace. She looked so happy. I didn't want to intrude on this moment. I wanted to just watch from afar. But vampire hearing wasn't on my side. Klaus heard my and asked me to stay. I looked at her and she was beautiful. I said," Shes beautiful. She must get it from her mother."

Klaus smiled." Yeah she must."

"Klaus, she'll be okay. Nobody will protect her better."

"I know that. I just cant wait for her to come back."

"Yeah…I'll miss her too."

"She will come back soon because she is our Hope."

I smiled her name was fitting and beautiful. I had to hold back the tears.

When Klaus came back without Hope it seemed to make the house dimmer. Everyone was quieter. There was no joy. We were worse off then we were before. And now we had to pretend that she was dead. Nobody should have to lose a child whether forever or a short while. I wanted to comfort him, but I didn't know what to do. I saw him go up to his room, so I followed. He looked distraught. I walked closer to him. He was barely holding it together when he said," I know I was a jerk earlier today, but will you stay with me tonight." I was so moved. The baddest vampire needed me. I wasn't nothing.

I replied," I'll stay as long as you need me to."

I hugged him. He seemed to grab hold for dear life. It was like I was his anchor. I was standing between him and total despair. I couldn't do much now but I could do this. I can be there for him. That night we layed in the bed together. Nothing sexual was going on, but it was the most intimate I'de ever been with him before. He opened up to me. He didn't have to say anything, but somehow we were closer. Everything was going to change.
