It's going to be interesting to see what the show's writer's do with Hayley and Klaus's daughter being a hybrid. I decided to tackle that in this next potential three part installment. Hopefully this won't turn out to be too cheesy or predictable. :)

Title:littlest wolf
author: Cindy Ryan
pairings: Hayley/Klaus
timeline: future au

Her daughter's scream caused Hayley Marshall to sit bolt upright in bed jarring her awake. In seconds she was on her feet and to the door but Klaus being a hybrid was faster and was already in the two year old's room two doors down. When Hayley arrived she found Emily withering in pain on the small bed. Her tiny body thrashing and contorting at inhuman angles. Being a werewolf Hayley knew instantly what was wrong with her daughter. Something they had yet to experience something Hayley had hoped Emily wouldn't have to suffer through.

Rebekah and Elijah had entered the room at Emily's second scream both anxious and worried. Hayley ignored them moving immediately to her daughter but Klaus blocked her keeping her at a safe distance.

"Klaus!"Hayley protested.

"What is it?"Rebekah asked with concern.

"Something we thought the vampire part would prevent."Elijah stated quietly. "We thought the vampire part was dominant."

"There's no moon for a few weeks so this is hybrid ability."Hayley surmised as she inched closer. "The wolf is emerging and..."

Emily screamed cutting off her mother's sentence. Claws began to transform her tiny fingers. Klaus ripped open his left wrist with his teeth and held the bleeding wound over his daughter's mouth. Per Hayley's wishes they'd kept Emily on a diet of human food and animal blood. It'd seemed to keep her unique hybrid beast at bay. Now all theories were out the window. Supernatural children were rare. Not many survived birth let alone childhood to be written about.

"Elijah, make yourself useful!"Klaus snapped and his brother stepped forward. "I need you to hold her; prevent Emily from hurting herself."

Elijah quickly took Klaus's place and gently but firmly gripped his niece holding the child in place. Emily whimpered a cross between a cry and a howl.

"Shhh."Elijah soothed. "It's alright."

"How can I help?"Rebekah inquired hovering near the foot of the bed.

"Last line of defense."Klaus replied his voice tight. "We might not be able to reason with her once she changes."

"Of course we will be able to."Hayley stated stubbornly. "She's our daughter, Klaus."

"We both know what it's like to be a newborn werewolf."Klaus began. "Emily is a remarkable child but she still is only two...she won't understand what's happening she'll only know the hunger."

Hayley remembered all too well the first time she became a werewolf. How terrifying it was. As much as Hayley had wanted to find her family to be a part of a family; a pack. Klaus's theory that the vampire would be dominant in their daughter had been partially comforting to Hayley. As unique and exhilarating as being a wolf was the transformation was almost as painful as childbirth. She didn't want Emily to endure that pain and now she was. As a mother all Hayley wanted to do was protect Emily. How could she protect her daughter from the pain that was part of being who she was?

"Klaus?"Hayley asked now standing next to the hybrid.

Klaus reached up and squeezed Hayley's right hand briefly. "She'll be fine, luv. I promise."
