'Elena, I need to go. It's an emergency!' he said and without waiting for her response he sped away. 'Damon!' he heard again.

Why was no one else looking for her?

He sped towards her room and found her lying on the floor, on hand on her belly. He knelt beside her.

'What's wrong?' he asked.

'I believe the baby is coming!' Hailey screamed. 'God Damon, it hurts so bad!'

After a few minutes it was clear this was not normal. Hailey's pains were coming right after each other, but she was not about to give birth.

'Her body responds to the strange baby,' Elijah said. 'We need a doctor.'

'This is not a normal delivery,' Katherine spat. 'No one can help her.'

'We need to give her some space,' Damon said.

'Stay here,' Hailey said. 'I don't want to be alone.'

So they stayed with her. For a few hours they sat behind her bed.

'How long this is going to take?' Elena asked.

'I've to check how much opening she has,' Katherine said.

'Elijah and I'll leave the room,' Damon said. 'Go ahead.'

When we were outside, we heard footsteps. 'Witches?' Elijah asked.

'I don't know,' Damon responded.

Céline was a bit nervous. She played with her hair and avoiding eye contact with the vampires. The roadtrip had been awkward. As a witch she hated vampires, but there she was, locked up in a car with two vampires. And one of them, Klaus, was an original. She couldn't hurt him, not really. She never had a teacher, so she wasn't quite experienced. He, au contraire, could kill her in seconds.

You're her because of your sister, she told herself. Don't freak out. But she started to wonder if this story wasn't made up. Maybe they wanted to kill her… And now she was walking with them, towards a large house.

If they wanted to kill you, they would've already killed you, she thought. She shivered, something Caroline noticed.

'Are you okay?' she asked. 'I'm fine,' Céline answered.

Klaus and Caroline looked at each other in despair. The needed this girl. Klaus felt that she was nervous and scared. He would lock her up, he thought. To make sure she didn't get any second thoughts.

He sought his telephone. 'Who are you calling?' Caroline asked.

'One of the witches,' Klaus answered. 'They have to be ready to perform the spell.'

'Why do they need me?' Céline asked, nervous for the answer.

'Just your presence, love,' Klaus comforted her. 'You don't have to worry.'

'In a few days you'll meet your sister,' Caroline said smiling.

The telephone rang and Klaus sighed. After a few more seconds someone answered.

'With Klaus,' he said. 'Bonnie's sister is her.' A few seconds he was quite. Céline couldn't hear what the witch told him.

'I will,' Klaus said. 'Of course. When are you able to perform the spell?' He nodded. 'Come as soon as possible. Yeah. Sure. Bye.'

They walked towards the house. 'Elijah is here,' Klaus said surprised. 'What's he doing here?'

'I can hear you brother,' Elijah said. 'Hurry up, Hailey is in labour.'

Klaus stood still. 'What?' he yelled. He didn't expect that. He and Caroline exchanged a nervous gaze. 'You go ahead, I'll stay here with Céline,' she said.

Klaus sped away.

His baby was going to be born. That was the only thing he could think about. His baby. In a few seconds he stood beside Elijah. 'Where is she?' he said nervously.

'In the room. But it's more of a women-only thing,' Damon said. 'You'll…'

Before he could finish his sentence, Klaus was inside the room. Damon raised his eyebrows. 'I never thought he was the caring type.'

He held Haileys hand. She pinched his hand and he patted the back of her hand. 'Klaus, I need to speak to you,' Katherine said.

Klaus was warned by her tone. He looked down at Hailey. Although he didn't love her, he still cared for her. She was his baby's mother. She was important to him. And right now, she was in a lot of pain and she didn't look well.

'Outside,' she continued. 'Let's go.'

Klaus stood up.

'I need to speak to you too,' said Caroline, who had joined them.

Outside, Katherine turned to him. 'When I was human, you know, a few centuries ago, my mom always helped women who were giving birth. I know a lot about it. And I also know that Hailey's probably not going to make it.'

Klaus looked really shocked. Elijah had never seen him like this.

'Why not?' he asked. 'Can't we save her?'

'I'm not a doctor,' Katherine said, 'but I'm afraid the baby has exhausted her body. And a delivery is too much for her to bear.'

'God,' Klaus said. 'Hailey can't die. She just can't. Can't we feed her vampire blood?'

'We can try,' Katherine said. 'But I'm afraid it won't help. I'm sorry.'

'She can't be turned into a vampire, she's a werewolf,' Klaus said panicking.

'I'll feed her my blood,' Damon said. 'Caroline, you needed to speak to Klaus?'

'Yes,' she said. 'Céline, why are you still here? You should get a room.'

'It's okay,' she said. 'I'm fine.'

Caroline smiled at her, grabbed Klaus' hand and they walked away, to the bathroom. She turned the knob of the water so the other vampires wouldn't hear her. 'What the hell?' she said.

'Where are you talking about?' Klaus asked.

'You know where I'm talking about,' she hissed. 'Céline. I hear what the witches said. Why do you have to lock her up.'

'So she can't escape,' Klaus said. 'She has to be week, so she'll not resist.'

'Why?' Caroline exclaimed.

'I lied to you,' Klaus said. 'It's not her presence, but her blood.'

'So she has to give her blood?' Caroline asked.

'No, my dear. She has to die,' Klaus said. 'Her life for Bonnie's.'

Damon had fed Hailey his blood. It didn't help. She was still week.

'It hurts so much,' she whispered.

He held her hand. 'You're strong,' he said. 'You can do this.'

He looked at Katherine, who shook her head. She wasn't going to make it.

Klaus held Hailey's other hand. He looked really sad.

'You've to push,' Katherine said. 'It's almost over.' She tried to smile.

'You see,' Damon said. 'You're almost done.'

He softly squeezed her hand.

Hailey screamed and Damon closed his eyes. He felt sorry for her.

It took her another fifteen minutes. Then they heard a baby crying.

'It's a girl,' Katherine said, sending Hailey a genuine smile.

Hailey watched how Katherine wrapped the baby in a blanket and then walked towards her. Klaus and Damon helped Hailey sitting.

Elena pushed a pillow behind Hailey's back. Katherine laid the baby in Hailey's arms. Hailey shone. She looked at her baby, smiling from ear to ear. 'She's so beautiful,' she whispered.

Klaus bowed towards his child. 'She looks like you,' he said.

'You think?' Hailey asked, looking up at Klaus for a few seconds. She looked again at her child.

Those few seconds, everything was alright. Then Hailey started shaking. 'My head,' she said.

'You're okay?' Damon asked.

'No, my head hurts,' Hailey said. 'And I see red spots.'

She blinked a few times. 'I can't see anything,' she said. 'I can't see anymore!'

Klaus took his child out of her arms.

'You've to lie down,' Katherine said.

Hailey panicked.

'She has lost a lot of blood,' Katherine said.

'She needs a transfusion,' Caroline said. 'Don't you have some blood her?'

'I've brought some blood bags with me, they're in the refrigerator,' Damon said. 'But what blood type has she?'

'I don't know,' Klaus said. 'Hailey?'

She didn't respond.

Damon bend forward to her and let his fangs sank into her arm. 'A,' he said a few seconds later. 'Hurry!'

'Klaus, take the baby to his room,' Katherine said.

'I can't leave Hailey now,' Klaus said.

'I'll go,' Elijah said. He left with his niece.

'Here,' Caroline said.

'It's too late,' Elena whispered. 'I don't hear a heartbeat.'

Damon, Katherine and Klaus sat around Hailey. Klaus held his daughter in his arms. She wore the clothes Katherine had bought for her. 'I think the baby should get some rest,' Katherine said.

Klaus nodded. 'I'll bring her to her crib,' he said before leaving.

Katherine and Damon sat beside each other. Katherine rest her head against Damon's shoulder. 'How long has she been dead?' she asked.

'An hour or so,' Damon responded.

They watched Hailey. A few minutes there was only silence.

Suddenly Hailey rose a few inches. She gasped for breath.

Damon stood up. 'Hailey…'

'What happened?' she asked, looking at Damon.

'God Hailey, you don't remember?' he whispered.

She looked around. 'Where's my daughter?' she asked.

'With Klaus,' Damon answered. 'Hailey, you were giving birth and…'

He couldn't say it. He couldn't. Hailey looked at him with her big, green eyes.

'You died,' Katherine finished.

Hailey looked surprised. 'What?' she screamed. 'That can't be true.'

She watched Katherine and Damon as if she hoped they would suddenly scream "SURPRISE!".

'I'm not dead,' she whispered. 'You fed me your blood and now...' she looked up. 'I'm transitioning?'

'Not really,' Damon said. 'You're a werewolf, Hailey. You'll die.'

'But my daughter's just born!' Hailey said. 'Damon, I can't be dead…'

Tears sprang in her eyes. 'No, no, no!'

Klaus walked in. 'I'm so sorry, Hailey,' he said. He held their daughter.

Hailey looked at them. 'No…' she whispered.

Klaus sat beside her. 'I'll take good care of her,' he said. 'But I wanted to ask you about her name.'

'Her name?' Hailey asked.

'What do you think?' Klaus asked.

Hailey looked at him in disbelief and sighed. 'As I child, I always liked the name Penelope.'

'Then Penelope it'll be,' Klaus said. He kissed her cheek and held hand.

'I've to go outside,' Katherine said. She stood up and left the room, ignoring Damon's gaze. She walked towards the kitchen and sought for a knife. God, I can't believe I'm really doing this, she thought. She laid the knife on her pulse and pressed. A sting of pain struck her, but she saw the blood. A few seconds later, Elijah stood beside her. 'Are you okay?' he asked.

She held one hand under her pulse to make sure she didn't spill anything and then walked towards the room. All three of them raised their hands when they smelled the blood. Only Penelope laid calm in Hailey's arms.

'What are you doing?' Hailey asked.

'Of course,' both Klaus and Damon whispered.

'I'm the doppelganger,' Katherine said. 'If you drink my blood, you'll become a hybrid.'

'But I don't want to become a hybrid,' Hailey said.

'Otherwise you'll die,' Damon said. 'Don't you want to be there for your daughter.'

Hailey looked at him and stood up. Hesitating she walked towards Katherine and held her arm. Then, she bowed towards the blood.

Please let me now what you think, also when you're a visitor ;)!
