Chapter 24

A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.

Caroline stared at Hayley with wide eyes. It seemed that the child grows even faster. Sophie must have been right that it was supernatural. Caroline couldn't help but stared at the round stomach on Hayley.

"What are you doing here little werewolf?" Klaus asked agitated by her presence. He was still not exactly in good relations with her since she had lied to him about the child being his.

"Caroline, please help me. I need you to call Tyler." Caroline raised an eyebrow.

"Don't you have his number, can't you call him?" Caroline said. Hayley swallowed hard.

"Caroline, I had lost my phone before I had come here. Please, I need to tell him. You know he has a right to know." Hayley said looking at her with pleading eyes. Caroline sighed and took out her phone walking into the living room ready to dial his number.

"Caroline- Klaus tried to confront her.

"Klaus, she's pregnant. The baby is Tyler's he has a right to know about it. Even if he is dumb." Klaus sighed.

"Caroline, I had threatened to hunt him down I don't think he will come to New Orleans knowing that I am here." Klaus said. She turned to him with a look.

"Well that's why you're not going to harm him when he gets here. He has a child that he has a right to know. You. Are. Not. Going. To. Kill. Him." She jabbed his chest to make her point. Klaus gave her a look.

"I do have a reputation Caroline, I have to follow it." Caroline gave him a look.

"Just for now you will not kill him. He has a child and he needs to know." She said. "Please," She watched as his features softened slightly and he sighed.

"Fine, but he will be here only until it is born." He said. Caroline gave him a look.

"Until the baby is born." She corrected. Klaus rolled his eyes but nodded and Caroline hit dial on her phone.

Bonnie and Kol were walking down the street and saw Elena and Elijah walking up along with a man with dark skin that Kol knew was Marcel. He glared to the old family friend that had been entrusted with secrets and soon betrayed everyone for a creature that was bent on destroying everything. Marcel looked to Kol and nodded.

"Kol," He greeted.

"Marcel," Kol said coldly and Marcel glanced to Bonnie. Kol moved closer to her protectively. Marcel looked between them curiosity in his dark eyes. "Elijah," Kol said.

"Marcel has made a deal with Qetsiyah to end Niklaus."

"We know Qetsiyah's back. She's hunting Silas." Bonnie said. Marcel raised an eyebrow.

"Who is Silas?" Kol turned to glare at him.

"An immortal warlock that just happens to be also knocking on our doorstep." Kol said.

"They are two thousand years old with revenge plans."Bonnie said. "We have to stop Qetsiyah first though." Elena looked to her.

"How are we going to stop her?" Elena asked. Bonnie looked to Elijah and Kol.

"Well first I think that we are going to need some extra muscle."

Caroline had called Tyler and told him about Hayley. Tyler may have cheated on Caroline with her. But at least he was willing to face his mistakes. He told her that he would be there and asked to speak to Hayley. Hayley sat on the couch talking on the phone with him while rubbing her big round stomach affectionately. Caroline turned to Klaus who was sitting in his study keeping away from Hayley. He didn't want to see her because he was starting to have murdering thoughts. As much as Caroline didn't care about Hayley she didn't want Klaus to because of the innocent child that was still growing inside of her. If she didn't know better she would say that the child was due soon. Caroline walked over to Klaus and he looked up to her curiously.

"I don't suppose you are thinking of a plan to stop Qetsiyah?" She asked. Klaus shrugged.

"I am not sure. But I think we are going to need your witch- She gave him a look.-Bonnie," He corrected. "Perhaps she might know how to stop a crazy two thousand year old witch who can only think about revenge." Caroline nodded and looked to Hayley as she smiled talking to Tyler. Again Caroline could only stare at her enlarged stomach. She swallowed hard and turned to Klaus curious now.

"Did you ever want a family?" She asked. He looked to her. The question had taken him off guard. "I mean like a wife and kids perhaps…" She couldn't help but feel slightly nervous asking this. He didn't seem like that guy but then again he had admitted that he was in love with her. And she knew if he could love then there was a possibility that he could think about it.

"I haven't really thought about it." He said honestly. "When I was human, I was supposed to. It was something that I intended to do. Back when I had been human I was supposed to be married and have a child. It was expected of you. I actually had been betrothed to marry but with my brother's and I's obsession with Tatia. But I guess at a time I had thought about it. But it was only before Henr- before we were turned into vampires." She was curious as to what he had been about to say. But seeing the look of vulnerability in his eyes she didn't press him any further. She couldn't help but feel jealousy at hearing about Tatia. Elena had told her about the original doppelganger that Klaus had loved when he had been human. And the worst part was that she was the original Elena in a way. She knew that this happened a thousand years before they were turned and before she had met Klaus. She still always felt in the shadow of Elena.

"Oh Tatia." She said turning away trying to hide her jealousy. Klaus glanced to her and raised an eyebrow at hearing her tone.

"Love, she means nothing to me anymore. It took me becoming a vampire to realize that I was only infatuation and she only liked the attention. I realized that it was nothing more than lust that I felt for her. It was one of the reasons that I have despised the petrova women. It is as if she is a siren. But I have never had any other interest in them after that." She sighed.

"I'm sorry, I just have always been in second choice for everything." He looked at her confused.

"Second choice? What do you mean?" She turned to him.

"Ever since I was human, everyone has chosen Elena. And if they can't have her they go for me second best." She said. She thought she was second best, to him.

"Caroline, you will never be second best to me." Klaus said. Caroline looked at him giving him a slight disbelieving look. But when her eyes met his she felt that he was sincere. "You have always been first to me." She blushed. "What about you love? Have you ever wanted a family?" She shrugged.

"Before everything happened and I became a vampire I had thought about it for a time." She began. "I had thought of remaining in my hometown perhaps growing up, falling in love, at time thinking about getting married to Matt…" She paused and glanced at Klaus whose jaw clenched. She touched his hand showing him that she was with him now and no one else. "Perhaps having a child someday," She glanced to Hayley once again. "Although now that I am a vampire, that's not possible anymore. I think that is the one thing that I had wanted the most in my future and hated how that was taken away from me when I became a vampire." She explained. Klaus could see that even though she enjoyed being a vampire, being this strong and independent young woman that she had become she still couldn't help but think of a few things of human life that she still desired. If there was another thing that Klaus knew was that if he ever could have a family he would want it to be with her. He'd wish for nothing more than to perhaps be a family with her. And this was also the one time that in his whole life besides the trail in the Andes and the humming bird, he thought about being human again. He stood and took her hand pulling her to him holding her close to him. She sighed in his arms.

"Perhaps we should take a slight pause on this drama and end of the world and perhaps go to dinner tomorrow?" Caroline looked up at him. Was he asking her on a date? She swallowed hard suddenly feeling slightly nervous like she was a young girl again with a crush, she couldn't help but blush. It seemed that with Klaus she was always used to being herself but at the same time he made her feel like a woman in love for the very first time as well as she couldn't help but think her last. She smiled and nodded.

"Yes, that does sound nice." Klaus was shocked but smiled. He knew that they had gotten closer really. But he still wasn't sure of her feelings. Sometimes it confused him how one minute it would seem like they were closer and then she would pull away from him. But he couldn't help but feel happiness inside. She had accepted to go on a date with him and didn't reject him. They heard the call end with Tyler and Caroline kissed Klaus's cheek. "Seven," She said before walking away to grab her phone.

Elena and Elijah had gone back to her apartment that they had been staying in. It was now midnight. Elena looked to Elijah as he looked around making sure the place was secure before deciding to take his leave.

"Elijah," He turned to her.

"Yes?"

"Will you stay?" She said. He looked at her shocked. "I mean it's just with this whole Silas and Qetsiyah thing going on…I would just feel safer if I had someone here with me. If you don't mind." She said. Elijah sighed and knew she was probably right. It was better if he stayed and made sure that she was ok. He sat down on the couch next to her trying to keep some space between them. Elena didn't seem to like this idea and became desperate to touch him. She scooted over to him and snuggled into his chest much to Elijah's surprise. His hands clenched into fists and he had to fight keeping thousands of years of his control not to grab her and hold her tightly in his arms. As well as he did want to kiss her. He cursed himself in his head for having such thoughts. Despite that she had broken up with the Salvatore brothers, he couldn't make the same mistake again. But someone had once told him it was ok once in a while to make mistakes. "Elijah," He looked down to her. "I am still waiting for that kiss," Elijah had never been so shocked in his life. He swallowed hard and looked at her closely. But she wasn't joking and stared into his eyes. They both couldn't help getting lost in each others. Elena thought that they were moving closer to one another. She placed her hand on his cheek caressing his cheek. She slowly very slowly began to lean in until she pressed her lips to his. Elijah heard her sigh when his lips were against hers. Elijah couldn't stop himself from closing his eyes and getting lost in the kiss. She pulled his face down to her and kissed him passionately. With Elijah it was different, more romantic more like a true couple. And it wasn't anything physical like it had been with Stefan and Damon. And as Elena kissed him she could really feel herself becoming complete. They kissed tenderly but there was no lust, just two people kissing each other because they were really in love with one another. Despite that they had said that it was just for the bet.

Bonnie was smashed against the wall as Kol kissed her passionately. This wasn't new between them. Actually it seemed weird if they didn't do this. Bonnie hands fisted in Kol's hair bringing him closer to her. She moaned when his tongue touched hers and battle for dominance. Despite that their relationship was secret Kol and Bonnie happened to have been together for almost a month since they had been back. Kol ripped her shirt off and threw it to the side as he began kissing her neck. Desperate Bonnie bucked her hips feeling the need to have more pressure there something that would resolve it. Kol groaned and flashed them to their bedroom. She moved back on the bed and he followed crawling in between her legs. They kissed again and Bonnie brushed her fingertips under his shirt and against his skin. She began trying to pull the shirt off but it was becoming difficult. Kol removed his shirt and she sighed with relief feeling him against her. Kol began kissing down her neck before moving to her chest and cupped her breast through the bra making her moan and arch her back to him. He smirked loving the effect that he had on her. Tired with the piece of clothing he removing it and tossed it aside before returning them. Little did they know that inside Bonnie's purse where Caroline seemed to be calling her.

Note: So sorry this took so long. But it's up here now. I will update tomorrow ASAP. So now we see that Hayley is starting to get close to having the baby. Klaus and Caroline become closer talking about their past and hopes that they once had. As well as a date. Elijah and Elena have their first kiss. Kol and Bonnie are closer than we thought. Oooo Oh and Qetsiyah is up for revenge. Reviews thanks.
