'Hailey,' Damon said when he saw her. She looked up.

'Damon,' she said surprised. Then her eyes narrowed with suspicion. 'What are you doing here?'

'Hello, Hailey,' Katherine said. She smiled at Damon and he grabbed her hand.

'Elena?' Hailey said.

'No, I'm Katherine,' Katherine said.

'Were here because Klaus asked us,' Damon said. He watched her closely. She looked really good, actually. She shone, really, even though her baby bump.

'You're looking good,' he said. 'How are you feeling?'

'I'm fine,' Hailey said. 'You can go guys. I'm sorry you came for nothing, but I don't need a babysitter.'

'Klaus asked as to,' Damon said. 'And if Klaus wants me to do something, I'll do that. He practically threatened me.'

Hailey looked at him expressionless. 'And why is she' she nodded to Katherine 'here?'

'Katherine is here to company us,' Damon said.

'That jerk,' Hailey said. She tried to stand up, but she was slow. Damon sped towards her and helped her.

'Thanks,' she said.

'So,' Katherine said, sounding a bit nervous. 'Have you already everything for the baby?'

'Yes,' Hailey said grumpy. 'The witches bought me everything and they have a terrible taste.'

'Why don't we go shop?' Katherine proposed.

'Oh no. Klaus doesn't want me to leave the building,' Hailey said. 'He's really caring… about the baby, of course.'

'So what? He's not here, right?' Katherine said.

'Kat, that's not a good idea. Nothing worse than an angry Klaus,' Damon said. 'But Katherine, you can shop for the baby. At least you'll have some nice clothes.'

Hailey shrugged. 'That's okay.'

'You're sure?' Katherine asked.

'Yeah,' Hailey said. 'Go.'

'Not now,' Damon said. 'You should rest first; you must be dead tired.'

'No, not at all!' Katherine said. 'Come on, Damon…'

'It's late,' Damon said. 'Hailey, aren't you supposed to rest a lot? Because of the baby?'

'Yeah, probably,' she said.

'Then let's go,' Damon said. 'Where do you sleep?'

They walked to her bedroom. Hailey walked very slowly, a hand on her big belly. Katherine grabbed Damon's hand.

'Here,' Hailey said, gesturing to a door. 'You can sleep in the guest room.'

'Thanks,' Katherine said. 'I'd love to take a shower.'

'Then go,' Damon said laughing.

'You don't mind?' she asked.

'No, not at all.'

Katherine disappeared in the room and Damon turned to Hailey. He took her hand so he could support her. Slowly they walked into her bedroom. He helped her sit down on her bed and watched her while she put a hand on her baby bump.

'How long have you been staying in this house?' he asked.

'Two months or so,' Hailey said. 'It's kinda boring, actually. I'm alone, all the time. Klaus and Elijah are always doing business. But sometimes they talk to me or bring me films and books and so.'

'And how are you doing?' Damon asked.

'Great,' Hailey said.

Damon raised one brow. 'Really?'

'Yeah. I mean, it's really strange. Sometimes I feel really ill, but most of the time I feel good. The baby is a wild one, you know. He's kicking all the time.' She laughed.

'It's a boy?' Damon said.

'O, I don't know. Klaus doesn't want me to go to do a scan, because he's afraid you can see it's not a normal baby.'

'It must be really hard,' Damon said.

Hailey shrugged. 'It's really strange. Having a baby inside of me. Klaus' baby. But it's also my child.'

'Where are the witches?' Damon asked.

'Normally they are somewhere around, but today the went to the town. They had some business or so. They don't tell me anything.'

Damon sighed. His gaze wandered across the room; there were no paintings or photo's on the wall, there were just some furniture.

'I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone,' he said. 'Are you going to be okay.'

'Sure,' Hailey said. 'I'm always alone. I'm fine.'

'When something's wrong, just scream,' Damon said. 'I'll hear you.'

'Okay,' Hailey said.

He looked down on her. She looked a little lonely. Poor girl. He wanted to show her some affection, but he didn't know how to. So he just sat down next to her. 'If you need anything, I'll help you,' he said. 'And Katherine and I will accompany you. You won't be alone again.'

She looked at him and bit her lip. Her eyes weren't dry anymore.

'Thanks, Damon,' she said.

'You're welcome,' he answered.

She bowed towards him for a hug. He wasn't feeling comfortable, but he patted her back. Her big belly was in between them.

'Sleep well,' Damon said while he stood up.

'Wait,' Hailey said. 'I wanted to ask you; is Katherine Elena's doppelganger?'

Damon smiled. 'Klaus told you the story?'

'No,' Hailey said.

'I'll tell you,' he winked. 'Tomorrow.'

Klaus and Caroline walked towards the boarding house. It was a bit awkward between them.

'So… when will we leave?' Caroline asked him.

'As soon as possible,' Klaus said. 'But I do have some unfinished business. I wanted to tell you this, Caroline. There might be a way to bring Bonnie back.'

Caroline gave him a confused look. She tried to hide her sadness. Thinking about Bonnie made her sad; the pain was still fresh and she was a bit in denial.

'Explain,' she demanded.

Heard her mother had another child. You know, after she left Bonnie and her dad.'

Caroline took a few seconds to process this. 'So Bonnie had a sister?'

'Half-sister or brother,' Klaus said. 'And I'm looking for her or him.'

'Why?' Caroline asked.

'Because the witches asked me. It's a pretty weird story.'

'Tell me,' Caroline said, pleading with her big blue eyes. Klaus smiled.

'The witches assume that Bonnie is a sort of incarnation of her ancestor Emily. So when they have Bonnie back, they will be able to contact Emily. And Emily was a very strong witch.'

'Wow,' Caroline said. She couldn't believe it. 'So… there going to bring Bonnie back.'

'That's the idea, yes,' Klaus said.

'But that's amazing!' Caroline screamed. 'O my god Klaus!'

'I know,' Klaus said. 'But before they can bring her back, we've to find her half-brother or sister and convince him or her to go to New Orleans.'

Caroline jumped against Klaus and hugged him.

'God, Klaus…' Caroline whispered. 'We can bring Bonnie back!'

'Damon! Damon!' Katherine screamed.

'What?!' he yelled, a bit annoyed. He was having a nice dream.

'Watch out!' she yelled.

He opened his eyes and saw a small figure, with big dark curls. Her eyes shone in the dark in a green colour.

'Damon!' Katherine yelled again.

The witch raised her hand and the a moment later Damon laid on the ground, head in his hands, legs curled up. The only thing he could think about was the exploding, terrible pain in his head. Not the wooden stake the witch held in her pretty, manicured hand.

Tell me what you think!
