A/N: Hey guys. I wanted to apologize to you first, because I am horrible at updating and two, because I've been going over my older chapters and I have awful grammar. It's really bad and I'm working on it. Thanks so much to my followers and reviewers!

"Hi Daddy!" I said as sweetly as I could.

"Where are you Lia?" he asked ignoring me.

"Where do you think I am?" I scoffed as if him suggesting that I was being bad was preposterous.

"We're in New Orleans!" Kol shouted across the room. Damn his vampire hearing.

"You're where?" Dad exclaimed.

"An old cemetery in New Orleans talking to Sophie Devereaux." I said quietly. When I didn't get a response, I looked down at my phone. It said my call had been disconnected. He hung up on me!

"Time to go." Kol said looking down at his phone. Apparently Dad was in on him too. I sighed.

"Fine but I have to make a quick stop." Anything that would postpone the mess I had caused at home.

Klaus' POV

I paced the room, my phone in hand. How could she escape right under my nose? And to New Orleans of all places. Talking to Sophie Devereaux. She was the little rebel that's for sure.

"Honey calm down." Caroline said coming up behind me to hug around my waist. I grabbed her hands and squeezed.

"What if she's hurt?" I asked quietly. I tried not to show it, but I loved my daughter more than anything and if something happened to her… I don't know how I would handle it.

"Hey she's my daughter too." Caroline reminded me. "We just have to trust that she'll come home safely." I turned to face her before leaning down and kissing her. She always knew just what to say.

"Why is she talking to Sophie Devereaux?" I asked. My wife shrugged.

"I guess we'll just have to find out."

Lia's POV

I reentered the bar and quickly spotted Marcel. He was sipping his drink, talking to a tall blonde boy. I took a seat next to him and if he noticed, he didnt comment on it. When the boy had finished speaking, Marcel simply nodded and with a flick of his hand he dismissed the boy.

"Welcome back." he said swiveling to face me. "What did you find out?"

"You know exactly what I found out, but, I think I'll clear up any misunderstanding." I said. Based on the look he gave me, I figured my response was expected yet still dreaded. "You have a son. His name is Trammel and he's fourteen years old. He currently resides in Mystic Falls, Virginia in my home to be exact. He is my best friend and I damn well better be his. We grew up together and he is more amazing than you could imagine."

Marcel smiled at me and nodded. I suspected that he wanted to say more but wasn't going to. He just snapped his fingers. I was confused until a couple of younger men carried an unconscious Tyler into the room. "You have made an ally." He said looking at me. "Feel free to return to New Orleans whenever you wish and we'll see if we can't have a little fun."

"Thank you." I said. "I actually had some fun and I will definitely be back." that is if my dad doesn't kill me in the process

Hayley's POV

My phone rang in the center console and I picked it up without taking my eyes off the road. I was only an hour away from the French Quarter and I was not about to let a call slow me. I quickly checked the caller ID before sliding the call open.

"Hello Tyler." I said.

"Sorry Tyler's a little out of commission right now." a younger female voice replied.

"Who is this?" I asked. Whoever it was more than likely had Tyler with them.

"Can't even recognize my voice mother?"

"Lia." I whispered. If Lia was with Tyler our entire plan was shot. "What have you done?"

"I'm protecting myself." she said simply. "And if you ever pull another stunt like you did last night, I'll be forced to retaliate. My family is everything to me Hayley. If you truly love me, you'll let me be happy with them."

"Lia this is so much bigger than you!" I shouted, but the dial tone sounded and I knew she hadn't heard me. I had to find a way to protect her, because if I didn't, she would die."

Klaus' POV

I heard Lia before she reached the door and it took everything I had not to fling it open before she opened it. Lia opened the door and smiled at me weakly. All the anger I had diminished at the sight of her healthy and safe and home. I quickly embraced her breathing a sigh of relief.

"What were you thinking?" I asked quietly.

"I needed some answers." she replied. "I got them with no harm done. I even figured out what happened last night."

I quickly pushed her to arms length. "You did what now?" I asked. Kol then walked through the door carrying my least favorite mutt.

Caroline's POV

I gasped at the sight of Tyler in my brother in laws arms. He was obviously unconscious and I couldn't help the twinge of guilt I got. I may not be in love with him anymore, but I'd been friends with him my entire life. Having him the same house as my overprotective husband was not a great idea.

"Why would you bring him here." Klaus snarled.

"Daddy," Lia said backing away from him and closer to Tyler. "When I first arrived in the french corner, Tyler came to me thinking I was Hayley. He asked if I had managed to get Amelia. He spiked the drink Daddy, I'm positive."

"Anything Klaus might've said in response was cut off by a very confused and pissed Trammel. "What the hell did you do Lia?"

A/N: OK so we'll end it there. I am so sorry for the update time and any mistakes. I know this chapter is shorter than usual but I wanted to get in out there. Thanks so much again and let me know if you want me to do the Klaroline story mentioned previously. :*
