A/N: Thanks for wonderful comments. Again a really long chapter. I hope you like it. Sadly next chapter will be the last one. I will try to wrap up things in this and next chapter but like most of my stories this will be an open ended story too.

Synopsis: Klaus and Hayley struggle through the connection he has found with Finn. Finn involves Klaus more and more in supernatural world while Hayley struggle with her radiotherapy and the affect of this control on Klaus. Hayley and Caroline confront each other about KLaus.

Next afternoon after lunch as Klaus picked up his book and was about to sit on the sofa Hope came running to him and said "daddy, I want to go out."

Klaus looked out at the beautiful sunny day and said "lets go" and took Hope outside. He settled down on the patio chair with his book whereas Hope went a little far and started playing with her dolls.

He kept glancing at her as she played while doing an imaginary conversation with her dolls. Klaus put the book down as he sensed someone. He looked around and saw Finn standing at a distance watching Hope. Klaus gaze instinctively went to Hope busy with her game but before he could say anything Finn said "oh dont worry. I will not harm your daughter. I need you to watch a girl for me while I am occupied with something more important."

Klaus asked "and why do you think that I would do it?"

Before Finn could say anything the patio door opened and Hayley came out causing Klaus to groan.

Hayley slid the patio door saying "Klaus…." but stopped as she saw Finn standing there. Her eyes went to Hope who was oblivious of what was happening.

She walked toward Klaus and asked "what is going on here?"

Finn looked at him for a moment and then said "It seems a demonstration is in order. hmm lets see. I want you to drink her blood" he pointed towards Hayley at the end of the sentence.

Klaus and Hayley stared at him. Klaus said "what? Are you crazy?"

Finn said carelessly "what can I say? I want to see you drink from your wife. Now get on it."

Before Hayley could do anything, she saw him walk to her as in trance. She looked at the smile on Finn's face and said "you cannot do that to him. He can die. My blood can kill him."

Finn sat on the stool and said "how so?"

Hayley said trembling with anger now "I am cancer patient and my blood is poisonous to vampires."

She saw surprise appear on Finn's face immediately replaced by indifference and he said "all the more reason for him to drink from you. Also this little demonstration will prove if it can really kill a vampire or not. For future reference for me."

Klaus could feel his heart racing and he realized that he will not be able to control it in a few seconds. His hands were itching to kill Finn but his brain was telling him to drink form Hayley.

Hayley said "Klaus no" as she felt his warm breath against her neck and his hand went around her waist.

Finn said "don't stop. You can do that."

Klaus said desperately "Hayley I cannot stop. I want to but I cannot stop."

Hayley said panicking now "Klaus no, you can hurt yourself" and tried to wiggle out of his grasp the moment she felt his teeth on her neck.

Finn said laughing now "okay okay stop. I just wanted to prove a point. You dont have to drink her blood. Stop."

Klaus let Hayley go and stumbled back gasping for breath whereas Hayley patted his back and hissed "what was the point? Just to prove that you have him under your thumb. We will find out a way to get out of this. you ass."

Finn laughed and said "I think I am starting to like you Andrea Labanoir."

Hayley and Klaus both spun toward him and asked "how do you know?"

Finn said "you thought I will not find everything about the only person in my pack?! Any way don't even think of disobeying me again. Now lets get to work."

Klaus looked at Hayley helplessly and said "I will be back in a few hours" and left.

Hayley spend next few hours worrying about Klaus and thinking how to get out of this situation. She called him a couple of times but the call went to caller ID so at last she decided to put Hope to bed and go to sleep too.

She put Hope to bed and then retreated to her room and laid down thinking about her radiotherapy the next day. She didn't know what woke her up but one look on his side of the bed told her that he was not back yet. She groaned and cursed Finn Manning. She got out of bed and went to Hope's room to check on her. When she came back she almost screamed as she saw someone sitting on the bed but then she took a sigh of relief as she realized that it was Klaus. She walked to him and asked "what happened? Why did he want you?"

Klaus said with annoyance "That ass has gotten a girl pregnant and he wanted me to babysit her because the damn witches want to kill the baby she is carrying."

Hayley asked "what? why? How? I thought vampires cannot procreate"

Klaus said "I don't know. Apparently from his wolf side he can. That means we can probably too Hayley."

Hayley looked at him and asked gingerly "you have been thinking about that too?"

Klaus held her hand, pulled her next to him and said "yes I have been. It seems that you have been thinking about it too. We both wanted to have more kids but now I have become a vampire and because of that you might never be able to conceive."

Hayley said "no, you became a half vampire and like you said if Finn can have kids then why not us. I cannot wait for us to try to have another baby after I am done with my treatment. Just three more months Klaus it will be safe for us to try for another baby."

Klaus kissed her and asked "how are you doing by the way?"

Hayley said "not bad. Now tell me about that poor girl."

Klaus sighed and said "She is just a human Hayley. Amber something. And she is carrying a supernatural child. I felt so bad for her. She must be your age."

Hayley asked "so Finn Manning cares about her?"

Klaus said "I dont know"

He pulled her towards him and said "listen about earlier. I am so sorry. I dont know what happened. I just cannot control it. I want to but I cannot control. I need to break whatever I have with him. I will talk to Marcel about it tomorrow. Right now I am so tired."

Hayley kissed him and said "it is three in the morning. No wonder you are tired. Go to sleep. I am thinking of talking to Sophie to find out if we can do something about it."

Klaus said "yes do that."

As they both settled down he leaned in, kissed her and snuggled her close to him as she slept in his arms while he stayed up thinking about this connection he has with Finn. After a while he looked at his cell and realized that an hour had gone by. He looked sideways as her hand went around him and turned towards her. He stared at her for a few minutes and then leaned in and gently brushed his lips against hers making her open her eyes. When she smiled he whispered against her lips "how can you sleep so peacefully?"

She looked at him and said "because I am not as horny as you are."

Klaus laughed as he pulled her close to him and said "I think you are right. Vampires heightened your emotions right so I guess they are making me more horny for you."

She opened her mouth to say something but his lips were already moving on her neck and his hands were unhooking her bra. She sighed and gave up thinking how could she resist those lips traveling over her neck, those hands caressing her breasts and that warm breath making her lose her mind. Later when he hovered over her balancing himself on his elbows he said "I am starting to see some upsides to this new ability of mine."

Hayley smiled, traced his lips with her thumb and said "me too."

He leaned in slowly and kissed her softly before falling back on the bed and fell asleep with her in no time.

Next morning when he was putting on his shoes she asked "hey you never told me what happened to that woman; the rape victim."

Klaus said "we got the guy but the statue expired so we couldn't do anything about it but I have talked to him and he seemed to have matured up a bit in the past four years. He is willing to talk to her about their situation and about Sam. Lets hope they do something about it."

Hayley fixed her side of the bed as he helped her with the other side and said "hope things work out between them. I feel bad for that child."

Klaus said "me too."

He grabbed her from her waist, pulled her toward him and said "I wish I could stay in bed with you all day."

Hayley smiled and said "good thought but we cannot. We have a five year old who will make our lives miserable if we even think about it."

Klaus said "how about we take a vacation? Get away from all of this for a while. Call in Rebekah to babysit her while we go on the honeymoon we never had."

Hayley looked back at him and realized he was serious. She said "sure I would love it but let me get done with my radiotherapy first."

Klaus said "of course" and kissed her hard on her neck before letting her go.

At work he couldnt concentrate on his cases as the image of him about to feed on Hayley kept on haunting him. The fact that he was unable to resist Finn was torturing him to no bounds. Even Alexis noted his distraction and asked him "are you okay? You seem different ever since you have come back from Mystic Falls."

Klaus said "I am fine…" He stopped talking as his gaze fell on man bleeding through the nose dragged in by Joe. He gulped as he felt his inside tightening. He hastily looked away as he heard Alexis ask "hey Joe what happened?"

Joe said pushing the perp in front of him "this idiot decided to make a run for it by grabbing my gun inside the station."

Alexis laughed and said "oh that explains the blood. Carry on."

He had not realized that he was holding his breath to stop the smell of the blood that was making him lose control until he heard Alexis say "hey are you okay? You look really pale."

Klaus looked at her and saw that he had managed to break the pen he was holding in his hand. He looked at the ink on his hand and said "yes I am fine. I will be back."

He got up and went to the restroom to wash his hands.

The rest of the day went without any incidence to his relief.

In the afternoon when he left for home, he called Marcel from his car phone and told him everything about his connection with Finn. When he was done Marcel said "it seems that you are sired to him."

Klaus asked "sired to?! what does that mean?"

Marcel said "you will do everything he asks you to do even if you dont want to. It is called a sired bond. But normally sire bonds come out of deep feeling of love towards the vampire who turned you. Maybe it works differently for hybrids"

Klaus said "how do I break it? I don't want to be his lackey."

Marcel said "From my almost two hundred years of experience I have never seen anyone break sire bond. But I can look into it and get back to you about it. How are you doing with this hybrid thing by the way?"

Klaus said "okay but this sire bond is causing problem."

In the mean while Hayley was reading a book when her cell rang. She smiled as she read Alexis name on the caller Id.

She asked "hey how are you? How is your pregnancy going?"

Alexis said "oh good. I am on my 8th week. How are you? Klaus told me about your radiation. How is it going?"

Hayley said "good. Sometimes I get tired but mostly okay."

Alexis said "oh great. I want to talk to you about Klaus."

Hayley said "what?"

Klaus opened the front door and entered the house and saw her on the cell with someone. He walked to her, kissed her on her head as she signaled him that she will with him in a minute. He tipped toed to Hope sitting on the carpet playing with her tea set so engrossed that she didnt notice him enter the room and grabbed her from behind. Hope screeched and then jumped into his arms and said "daddy we made a house with play dough today. You want to see."

Klaus said "sure but let me change first."

Twenty minutes later Hayley entered Hope's room to see Klaus and Hope on the ground making balls with play dough. she said "Alexis called. She is worried about you."

He looked up as she went to sit on Hope's bed and said "why?"

Hayley said "she is noticing a change in you and was concerned if it is a werewolf issue. I tried to assure her that it was nothing but I dont think she is satisfied. Do you not plan to tell her what happened in Mystic Falls?"

Klaus said "no".

He thought about telling her about the blood incidence but then decided against it.

After dinner they both put Hope to bed, watched some tv and fell asleep after making passionate love to each other.

Next day was Saturday so they started the day a bit late. Around 11 am they did breakfast. After breakfast Hope got into his lap and said "daddy, I want to watch cartoons."

Klaus put his book down and said "okay go first clean up your room and then we will watch it. In the meantime I will help mommy clean the kitchen and then we can do the puzzle in the living room."

As Hope ran towards her room, Klaus turned to Hayley and said "you look a bit pale. Why dont you go and rest."

Hayley said "I am feeling tired but otherwise okay."

Klaus said "go and lie down. I will clean this up."

Hayley said "thanks."

She kissed him and went to the living room whereas Klaus started putting the dishes in the dishwasher thinking about her treatment and affect the radiotherapy was having on her. He sighed as he realized that sooner or later radiotherapy would have started to show affect on her body.

When he entered the living room, she was lying on the sofa with eyes closed whereas Hope was sitting near her asking "how does the giraffe sleep then?"

Hayley said "it sleep while standing up Hope."

Detecting the fatigue in her voice Klaus said "Hope, come sit with daddy. Let mommy sleep. She is tired."

Hayley opened her eyes and looked at him with gratitude and then closed her eyes gain. He spread the throw on her, kissed her forehead and said "go to sleep."

For the next hour they watched Tom and Jerry followed by a documentary on animals as Hope sat in his lap snuggled close to him chatting with him about what they were watching. While Hope was looking at tv Klaus was thinking how much his life has changed, how much he has started to care about this child and her mom. Suddenly he felt a chill shoot through his body as it hit him that it was his flesh and blood sitting in his lap. He realized with everything going on in his life he has forgotten that Hope was his biological daughter and not the adopted child they were portraying her to be. In impulse he kissed her and hugged her tight. Hope said "daddy you are hurting me."

Klaus smiled and let her go. After an hour he said "now go and play. But you have to be very quiet. Look mommy is sleeping."

As Hope ran away to her room, Klaus picked up the book and started to read but his mind was not in the book so he took out his laptop and started doing research on sire bonds but after thirty minutes he couldn't find anything so he got up and went to Hope's room thinking it was too quiet. As he entered the room he stopped when he saw Hope talking to her doll "I will take care of you Manda, I will take you to the doctor and they will make you feel better. The doctor is helping mommy too. She is getting better now."

Klaus felt his heart contract. He stood there for a moment looking at her and then said "hey what are you doing? I was thinking may be we should do some puzzles together. Want to do?"

Hope jumped up excitedly and said "yes yes."

Klaus said "okay bring it in the living room then."

Klaus smiled as he saw her excited face while she turned the puzzle box on the carpet and started putting the pieces on the carpet. After a few while he looked around and saw that Hayley was awake and was looking at them.

He asked "feeling better?"

Hayley said "yes a lot. How long have I slept?"

Klaus said "almost two hours."

Hayley said "oh. How did you manage to keep her quiet that long?"

Klaus put the puzzle piece at its place and said "we watched cartoon, then she played in her room while I did some work on laptop and then we did puzzle and now you are awake."

Klaus turned to Hope and said "it fits here."

Hope said smiling "nooo. It does not fit here."

Klaus gave her the puzzle piece and said "show me where it fits" while Hayley smiled at them as she laid on the sofa reading a book.

As Hope put the puzzle piece at its correct place she hit her hand on her forehead and said while shaking her head sounding very disappointed "you don't know anything daddy."

Klaus laughed looking at her and grabbed her from her waist, tickling her and sending her in the fits of giggles.

Hayley turned towards them and said "lunch?"

Klaus said laughing "I have my lunch right here. I am going to eat her" as he pretended to take bites on Hope.

Hope giggled louder and said "mommy, save me."

Hayley smiled and thought for a moment and then before Klaus could see what she was doing she knelt down and grabbed his chin and kissed him hard on his mouth. Klaus felt the grip on Hope loosening as he started to kiss her. Hayley continued to kiss him and when she noticed Hope sneaking out of his grasp she broke the kiss. As she leaned back and winked at him, Klaus laughed realizing what she had done. He reached out as Hayley started to get up and pulled her by her arm in his lap. He wrapped his arm around her waist and said "now you have to pay for this. You cost me my lunch. I think I am going to eat you now" and brought his lips closed to her neck.

Hayley laughed and looked at Hope who said "no dont eat mommy."

She could feel Klaus laughing silently as she felt his body shaking against her back. She controlled the moan that was about to escape her mouth as she felt his lips on her neck and caressed her neck. She poked her elbow in his ribs muttering "stop it" whereas Hope giggled and said "mommy I will help you" while Klaus whispered "why? scared that I might bite you."

Hayley smiled and said "of course not" as Hope grabbed Klaus hand and tried to free Hayley using her full power. Klaus continued to kiss her neck but his eyes went to Hope's face reflecting the struggle she was showing while she was trying to free Hayley.

Hayley felt his lips part from her neck and his free hand nudging her back. She turned to face him and followed his gaze and looked at Hope struggling to get him free and felt his hand let go of his waist and Hope screaming "mommy I freed you" and pulling her up.

She laughed and kissed her hard as she hugged Hayley and said laughing "yes you are my hero. You freed me from hungry daddy. What if he comes back for me?"

Hope said looking at Klaus who was sitting on the carpet looking at them "I will save you. You go. I will stop him."

She pushed Hayley away and jumped on Klaus.

Klaus felt her tiny body's impact on him and fell laughing while Hayley walked towards the kitchen after watching them; her sitting on his stomach and him lying on the carpet.

Hayley was in the kitchen fixing lunch when she heard Klaus's frustrated voice "Hayley I have to go. Finn Manning called and he wants to see me."

Hayley looked at him and asked "Klaus what is going on? Do something about it. I dont like it."

Klaus said "I don't know love. I am unable to say no to him. Any way I have to go."

Thirty minutes later Klaus entered Rousseau and walked to Finn angrily and said "I was with my family."

Finn asked "why do you need to work?"

Klaus asked confused now "what?"

Finn said "you are a detective. I asked why do you need to work?"

Klaus asked annoyed now "what the hell that means?"

Finn said "you are a millionaire. You dont need to work so why are you working as a cop?"

Klaus said "I love my job and if you have just asked me here to chit chat then I am off."

As he was walking away he stopped when he heard Finn say "what? who did that?"

Klaus looked towards Finn as his expressions changed. He said "I will be right there."

He put the cell in his pocket and said "you, come with me."

Klaus opened his mouth to say no but then followed him.

For the next hour Klaus watched as Finn tracked down Sophie Deveraux and from the intel she provided him he found a witch named Anges. He stood in the church looking at Finn holding Anges from her neck and hissing "no one hurts my family".

During the past one hour he had gotten the hang of the situation and for the first time after ever meeting Finn he could understand what Finn must be going through and felt like helping him and that was not fitting well with him. As he looked at Finn he heard an authoritative voice saying "Finn. Let her go. I promised Sophie Deveraux that I will not let you hurt Anges."

Klaus looked from the elegantly dressed man to Finn who said "brother, you make promises at very inappropriate times."

He let Anges go but as Klaus took a breath of relief he heard Finn's bother say "I promised that I will not let her die at your hand but I didn't promise anything about me."

Before Klaus could react he had jabbed hearts out of the two men standing on either side of him and was heading towards Anges.

Klaus hastily said "wait, you cannot kill them. They are human."

He looked at Klaus and said "you must be the hybrid detective my brother is so proud of. I suggest you don't interfere in supernatural business."

He walked to Anges and grabbed her by her neck while Klaus looked at Finn who had weird smile on his face. The other man said "no one hurts my family and live to tell." and snapped Agnes's neck.

Klaus looked at Finn who was looking really proud. Finn said "Klaus Mikaelson Jacob my brother. This is the first lesson you need to learn. Family above all."

He saw Jacob walking away from them and said "you guys cannot just kill people."

Finn turned to Klaus and said "you will not tell anyone about what happened here. Now go."

During the drive to home he wondered was he wiling to help Finn because of sire bond or because he felt his pain considering he is a father too. He hit his hand on the steering wheel cursing the sire bond. When he got home it was afternoon and Hope was busy doing coloring while Hayley was lying on the sofa reading a book. As he entered the living room she asked him "so why did he call you?"

Klaus looked at her and even though he wanted to tell her but he couldnt that just infuriated him to no bound. He said after a few moments "he wants to bond with me."

Hayley said "what?"

Klaus said "yes. We just talked. For a minute it seemed that he wants to get to know me as in be friends with me."

Hayley looked at him and said "hmm. I dont like it."

Klaus said "and another thing. I met Finn Manning's brother today. Jacob."

Hayley asked "what is he like?

Klaus said "sneaky. Different from Finn but I only saw him for a few minutes so cannot tell much."

He saw her yawning and asked "you still feeling tired?"

Hayley said "yes. I was thinking of taking an early night. It is six now. Can you put Hope to bed when it is time for her to sleep?"

Klaus nodded and kissed her as she retreated to the room.

As Hayley settled down in her bed he entered the room and said "I am taking Hope to the park. Will be back in an hour. Will you be okay?"

Hayley said "yes" as she closed her eyes.

She opened her eyes and smiled as she felt his soft lips on hers and said "I love you Klaus."

He said as he patted her shoulder over the duvet "me too. Now go to sleep. We will be back in an hour."

When she woke up again, it was morning and she could feel his arm around her waist. She turned to him, smiled at his peaceful face and wrapped her arm around him and relaxed as she felt him shift in his sleep and wrapped his arm around her tighter and continued to sleep.

He felt soft lips on his lips, opened his eyes and asked lazily "how are you feeling?"

Hayley smiled and said "well rested and that is why I am going to meet Sophie. You are home so you can take care of her. I will be back in two hours max."

Klaus said "Hayley just be careful."

Hayley slipped her hand under his shirt saying "I will be."

Klaus smiled as he felt his her hand on his hips and sneaked his hand under her shirt and squeezed her breasts but then groaned as they heard a knock on the door. She pushed him away from him saying "well you wanted to have her in your life."

Klaus said "and I dont regret a single day since I made that decision."

Hayley said "I cannot believe it how far we have come from where we were 6 months ago" as she headed towards the door and opened it to let Hope in.

Hope ran to the bed, jumped on the bed and got under the covers snuggling close to Klaus.

Hayley smiled as she looked at Hope and Klaus and said "I am going to take shower."

Around noon Hayley was standing in Sophie's kitchen and was saying to Sophie "there must be some way to break that bond. He is controlling Klaus."

Sophie said "Hayley, I will look for it because I dont know from the top of my head."

Hayley said "Klaus can break it Sophie. Just find out how to break it."

They both turned towards the door as they heard a very polished voice saying "if only it were that easy."

Hayley looked at the man dressed in black immaculate dress and asked "who are you?"

He looked at her form head to toe and said "Jacob Manning.

His eyes narrowed as he saw her expression change to confusion.

Hayley asked "so you are Finn Manning's brother."

Jacob said "yes the only one Finn. What has he done now?"

Hayley turned away from him and said to Sophie "listen i have to go now. Please find out how to break that sire bond. Klaus and I are willing to do anything to break it."

She gave Jacob one steely look and left.

Rest of the day they spend at home playing with Hope, doing house chores and just relaxing.

After dinner Klaus and she put Hope to bed and then came back to kitchen to clean up. Klaus handed her the dirty plates and Hope was gone from the dinning room Hayley said to Klaus "I met Jacob Manning today."

Klaus asked "where?"

Hayley said going to the kitchen "while I was talking to Sophie he walked in. It seems that his brother is a trouble Klaus. The way he asked me what has he done now. This is not the first time Finn has done something questionable."

Klaus said with exasperation "tell me about it. He is trouble. Trouble with capital T. I want to break this sire bond with him. Did Sophie tell you anything?"

Hayley said "no. But she said she will look into it. I was thinking we should contact Mason. Maybe he can help."

Klaus said putting the leftovers in the fridge "I have already talked to Mason. He is working on it. I called Stefan today too but could get hold of him. Will try again. Elijah called today. He and Mason told Kol about our curse. As per Elijah he didnt take it well but Elijah is keeping an eye on him."

Hayley asked "what do you mean not taking well?"

Klaus said "he is showing a lot of resentment and Elijah is afraid that he might do something to hurt someone and trigger his gene in the process. Now we are all questioning whether it was a good idea to tell him or not."

Hayley asked "and what about Rebekah?"

Klaus shook his head and said "no. We have decided not to tell her after what happened with Kol. Any way right now our biggest problem is Finn and how to keep this connection with him in check."

Hayley sighed and closed the dishwasher and took out a glass from the cupboard to drink water but it slipped from her hand and landed in the sick breaking into pieces.

Klaus turned to her asking "hey you okay" and then he spotted the blood on her finger and stepped back as the smell of blood hit his nostrils. She turned to him and said hastily "no dont. Go" but his veins were already coming out under his eyes.

He could feel his fangs coming out. Hayley looked at her hand which was bleeding and hastily took out the towel and pressed on it saying "Klaus go."

Klaus looked at her face as in daze and then came out of trance as she pushed him away and left the kitchen. Hayley hurriedly cleaned the glass up and then put the bandage on the cut on her hand and then went to their room. She found him pacing in the room and asked tentatively "hey you are okay?"

Klaus said in agitation "stay away from me Hayley. I can smell blood."

Hayley said "how long have you not had blood?"

Klaus held his head and said "a week"

Hayley said in an angry tone "Klaus you cannot go without blood for that long. You have to drink it. I will bring it for you."

Klaus said "no, stay. I will get it."

Hayley stood in front of the vanity in the bathroom and was brushing her teeth when she started to feel dizzy. She hurried up, changed her clothes and walked out holding the door.

Klaus entered the room feeling much better when he saw her kneels buckle. He whooshed to her and hod her in his arms and asked "hey you okay?"

Hayley said "wow that was very superman like. I just feel tired. I thinking I am going to bed."

Klaus put her on the bed and pulled the duvet on her and said "you should rest. I will turn in a bit later."

As he started to move away from her Hayley said "dont go. Stay."

Klaus said "Hayley I might hurt you."

Hayley said "you will not Klaus. Please stay."

Klaus sighed and picked up the book to read while she drifted off to sleep holding his hand.

Monday morning when she woke up he was not in bed and it was already seven thirty in the morning. She sighed and cursed her radiotherapy that had been making her fatigued for the past few days and making her sleep early and getting up after he got up. She got out of bed, took a quick warm shower washing the fatigue off of her knowing well that he has to leave for work. She quickly brushed her hair and suddenly felt glad when none of the strands came lose. She left the room and walked into the living room saying "Klaus I… " and stopped as she saw him looking at something. She walked to him and asked"what is it?"

She noticed him putting the papers back in the envelop and asked again "what is it?"

When he shook his head she knew something was not right. She took the envelop form his hand before he could do anything else and said "show me."

As she opened the envelop she saw a picture of her and Elijah, smiling and looking at each other.

She looked at him and asked with sinking heart "Klaus what is this? Who send these to you?"

She then ideally flipped the picture and felt the ground slip from under her feet and at the same time she started to see stars when she read the words "how could you believe that she will not fall for you elegant brother?!"

Hayley said incredulously "you don't believe it right?! Elijah is like my brother."

Klaus asked "then tell me why have you been two acting weird around each other?"

Hayley looked at him and then before she could control her actions or words, her hand swung in the air and landed on his cheek with a smack. She hissed "what?! I cannot believe it. He is your brother and I am your wife. Now you see what I mean about that bitch."

Before Klaus could respond she turned and left him standing there. She stood in the bathroom for a moment trying to calm herself down and then splashed water on her face and left the bathroom. She headed to Hope's room, saw that she was already dressed up so she said "lets go Hope" and ignoring his "Hayley" left the house.

After driving aimlessly for half an hour steaming in anger she looked back at Hope and decided to take her to the library. They spend next hour in library but Hayley couldnt shake off that picture and the accusation in his tone from her mind and that was just draining her already fatigued mind. After library Hope asked her to take her to the park so she took her to the park. As she was sitting in the park her cell rang. She picked up the cell after reading Sophie's name on the caller ID. She said "hello."

Sophie said "Hayley I am going to the bar. I have found an ancient history book about sire bonds. Maybe you can find something in it."

Hayley got up excitedly and said "oh really. I can come and look at it right now…."

She paused as a thought occurred to her and looked at Hope playing in swings and said "I have my daughter with me. Is your kitchen safe?"

Sophie said "yes. Come from the back side of the bar. No one will come here."

Thirty minutes later Hayley was sitting in Sophie's kitchen pondering over the ancient book that Sophie had given her while Hope read the book she had gotten from the library.

While Hayley was busy with trying to find a way to deal with this sire bond, Klaus tired to occupy himself with the paperwork on the case they had wrapped up on Friday but his mind kept going to how Hayley had reacted and the more he thought about it them ore he questioned why would Caroline send him pictures of her and Elijah. To hurt him? but why would she want to hurt him or is it to hurt his relationship with Hayley and Elijah. Then he recalled her message to him and he cursed himself for not seeing things clearly. He tore that picture and threw it in the dustbin.

Half an hour later she looked up and said as she closed the book "As per this the connection is formed out of love but Klaus does not love Finn so what is it based on then?"

Sophie said "I wish I could help you Hayley."

Hayley continued reading from the book "vampire sire bonds are based on love and is possibly broken when they have nothing to love anymore, i.e. switching off their humanity." She looked up and said "There is mention of someone named by Charlotte who was sired to some vampire. How can I find out who she was sired to?

Sophie said "I can find out about this Charlotte and will let you know about her.

Hayley said "thanks Sophie"

She then looked at Hope and said "lets go sweetie" but before she turned towards the door, it opened and a young girl entered the kitchen looking angry.

She stopped when she saw Hayley but then looked at Sophie and said "If you ever do that again I will kill you with my own hand. You are not link to me anymore."

Hayley looked at the girl in surprise and then looked at Hope who was looking at them. The girl was about to turn when her gaze fell on Hope and she stopped and walked towards her. Hayley hastily walked to Hope but before she could say anything the girl said "is this your daughter?"

Hayley said "yes, who are you?"

The girl continued to look at Hope and then Hayley noticed her putting her hand on her stomach and say "Amber Moore."

Before she could stop herself the words were out of her mouth "you are the girl Finn Manning got pregnant."

Amber asked "and you are?"

Hayley paused for a second and then said "Hayley Mikaelson. You might know my husband Klaus Mikaelson."

Amber nodded "yes I know him. I didnt know he was married and had a child."

Hayley said bitterly "well if Finn keep him as his personal servant then he might not stay that way for long."

Leaving Amber bewildered she turned to Sophie and said "I forgot I want to find out about the curse your ancestor put on Crescent pack"

Sophie said "you know I am a witch right? I know why you are asking about that Hayley. I can help you with it provided you help me with something."

Hayley asked "what?"

Sophie said "I will tell you some other time."

Hayley looked at Amber and said "I wish we had met in better circumstances" and then turned to Hope saying "lets go sweetie" and left.

By the time she reached home Klaus was not home. She fed Hope lunch and occupied her and then busied herself with cooking dinner. After making dinner she settled down with a book in Hope's room while she played with her toys. After a while she realized that the book was not helping her to calm down as she was unable to rid her mind of what Klaus had accused him of and how Caroline has once again managed to come between them. She decided to think about something else and wondered who Charlotte was and at last she saw some hope.

In the afternoon when Klaus came home he noticed that she was still in a bad moon. Klaus tried to talk to her while dinner and putting Hope to bed but she never encourage it. As she laid down on the bed to sleep later that night, Klaus said "I am sorry Hayley. I have been thinking and I think you were right about Caroline. I dont know why I didnt see it before. Perhaps I saw it and never wanted to accept it but now I see it and believe me I will talk to her about it and she will never come between us."

Hayley looked at him and said "good" and turned away from him. He thought about what he had said to her about Elijah and said "I am sorry about Elijah too. I shouldn't have doubted it. I dont know why I said that."

Hayley, heartbroken, said shaking her head "no, you cannot get away from that one so easily. I cannot believe that you would think that I will have an affair with your brother! I need some time to process this Klaus. Give me some time."

She turned away from him and closed his eyes.

He could hear her heartbeat and knew that she was awake but he realized that she was right and she deserved to have some space so he laid on the bed and drifted of to sleep after a few minutes.

Next morning when Hayley woke up, the first thing she noticed was his hand over her waist. She felt like removing it but she let it there and closed her eyes again.

Klaus opened his eyes and saw his hand on her waist and wondered 'has she forgiven him?' but before he could form an answer in his mind, she said "don't think I have forgiven you."

Klaus said "I know and I am sorry about doubting you" but didnt retrieve his hand.

Hayley looked at the sincerity in his eyes but removed his hand gently and got out of the bed.

The next two days Hayley was very cold towards him but slowly and gradually the ice between them was melting but not as fast as he had hoped for.

Third day after their argument, Klaus got ready very early in the morning and and left for work. As soon as he entered the squad room, they were called in on a case. Ten minutes later he was standing in front of a grieving man dressed in tuxedo telling him about how his bride to be was murdered right in front of his eyes on their wedding day and he only managed to get away with just a scrape on his head. As he was questioning him and giving him hope that they will catch the killer, his cell rang.

Ten minutes later he entered the station and went straight to Ben's office with Alexis. Five minutes later eh steamed out of there saying angrily "what the hell! We were pulled off from that case to provide protection detail to a person who should be dead not protected…. I promised that man that I will get his fiancé murderer Alexis"

Before Alexis could reply his cell rang. He picked up his cell as it rang and said "hello Hayley can it wait…"

Alexis who was already looking at him noticed a change in his expressions as he stood up. She stared at him wondering what is going on when he put the cell in his pocket and said "I have to go. Hope fell form her bike and she is in hospital."

Alexis said sounding worried now "Oh I hope she is okay. Call me and tell me what happened."

By the time he entered the hospital twenty minutes later he felt as if his heart was pumping out of his heart. After asking directions to her room he darted to it.

Hayley was sitting on her bedside holding her hand. She heard a sound, turned around and saw him standing there.

He felt air sucked out of his lungs as he saw a big red purple bruise on the left side of her temporal lobe and a slight bruise on the right side.

He looked at Hayley and asked her "what happened?"

Hayley said sounding worried "a cyclist hit her and she fell down and her head it the concrete. Thanks god she was wearing the helmet. But she lost consciousness so I called 911. They say that there is some swelling in her brain and they dont know when will it stop. Right now they are just keeping her in observation."

Klaus said immediately "Hayley I can heal her."

Hayley said hastily "No Klaus. let the doctors handle it but if they cannot then you can."

He looked around and said anxiously "let me go talk to the doctors."

She nodded and went to sit with Hope again. As she looked at her hooked onto tubes, each and every moment of her young life flashed through her mind bringing tears to her eyes. From the moment she held her the first, to when she started teething, to when she started walking, said her first word, got injured the first time, started cycling, started writing, arguing for her rights even at this tender age, finding out her father, bonding with him, accepting him in her life, trying to cope with her mother's illness and now this.

Klaus entered the room and saw her lost in thoughts. He walked to her and put his hand on her shoulder startling her. She hastily wiped her tears before turning to him. He wrapped his arms around her instinctively and realized that she was shaking. He said "Hayley you don't have to brave in front of me. We are in this together."

She hugged him tight and said "Klaus I cannot lose her. I cannot. If something happens to her I don't know what I will do."

Klaus held her tight and said "everything will be okay Hayley. Worse comes to worse I will give her my blood."

She whispered "Klaus, what if she dies with you blood in her system."

She felt his hold around her tightening.

He said "nothing will happen to her Hayley. I wouldnt let it."

She said into his chest "thanks for being here but if you have to go I understand."

Klaus said "no I am fine. Alexis will cover for me" patting her back.

While they stood in each other's arm his cell rang. He picked it up wondering who it was. He groaned when he heard a british authoritative voice "Come to saint Ann's church"

He opened his mouth to say no but the words that came out were "in twenty minutes."

Klaus put the cell down and then looked at Hayley and said angrily "that damn Finn asked me to come and I couldn't say no. I couldn't say simple No. I hate this sire bond."

Hayley asked looking at Hope "have you talked to Marcel about it?"

Klaus said "yes I have. He said he will get back to me but has not yet. but I will. Let Hope get better. I am sorry love, I have to go."

Klaus said angrily as he entered the church "Finn you cannot just ask me to leave everything and come…"

But Finn cut him off by saying "sure I can. I wanted you to attend the meeting with human faction seeing you are the only person in my army."

Klaus glared at Finn angrily and said in frustration "why do I have to go with you? It is your meeting and I have never met human faction."

Finn said "well it is about time."

He opened his mouth to say something when a few men entered the church. One look at their clothes and he knew that they were human faction. After the initial introduction with them he found out that they were mayor, Sheriff and a lawyer with them. He looked at another man dressed in priest clothes and recalled what Marcel had told him about Kieran being a priest.

Klaus stood there silently listening to Kieran, the mayor, Sheriff talking to Finn and Marcel.

As the conversation progressed he could see that thing going south in no time and when the Sheriff said "look, you freaks do your thing and we will look the other way." he groaned. Even he realized that was uncalled for. He looked at Finn who was looking at Marcel with incredulous expressions.

He looked at Kieran who was looking anxious and clearly could see what Klaus himself was saying so he took a sigh of relief as Kieran said "More importantly, there are rules. No feeding on the locals. Don't bring any unwanted attention to the city. History has proven that we can co-exist peacefully. However if you cross the line...

He groaned as the Sheriff interrupted by saying "you answer to us."

Finn laughed and said "let me get this straight. I am to answer to you, this pompous ass and his ridiculous group of petty thieves? Here are my terms. You will take whatever scape I see fit to leave you and you will be grateful. It that does not suit you, I may decide you have outlived your usefulness."

As he walked out of church Klaus said "I cannot believe that you threatened them."

Finn said carelessly "no one talks to me like that pompous ass was talking to me. Lets go have drink."

Klaus wanted to say no as he felt like going to check on Hope but the words that came out of his mouth were "okay."

Finn sensed his hesitance but didnt say anything.

As they sat in the bar drinking Klaus took out his cell and dialed Hayley's number and asked "how is she doing?"

Hayley said "still the same. What is going on with you?" her tone changing to agitation by the end of sentence.

Klaus said "I will tell you when I get back Hayley" and put the cell down.

He looked at Finn who was drinking with his head down. He said to Marcel "Kieran was trying to maintain peace between supernatural and human."

Marcel nodded and turned to Finn and said "what do you think? What will they come up with?"

Finn said "lets wait and see what happens."

Klaus looked at his wrist watch and thought about Hope again and said to Finn "I am…" but there was a huge explosion and if Finn ha into pulled him down he would have gotten hurt. There were a lot of screaming before everything calmed down.

He looked at Marcel in horror as he body caught fire and Finn trying to extinguish the fire. Finn stood up angrily and looked around whereas Marcel said "this is on you."

Finn hissed "they will have to pay for this."

Klaus got up, looked at his hand and saw it healing and then at Finn who looked like as if steaming in anger. He shook his head and said "bloody hell. What the hell is going on?"

Finn said "what happened was that human faction took matters into their hand. Now it is our turn. I am going to teach them a lesson when someone crosses Finn Manning path."

Klaus looked at Finn and knew what he was talking about "you cannot. They are human."

Finn looked at him angrily and said "you need to get your hand dirty now that you are a vampire. I think you first lesson starts today."

Klaus at once said "no, I cannot do this any more. My daughter is hurt and I am going."

He expected Finn to stop him but when he didnt he turned towards him and asked "what are you going to do to human faction?"

Finn said menacingly "you really dont want to know."

Klaus stared at him and said "Finn You cannot kill them they are human."

Finn said angrily "and they are allowed to kill us?! Being a vampire does not mean that they can kill us."

Klaus looked at him for a moment when Finn said "you need to leave."

Even though a part of his mind was telling him to stay but the other part on which he had no control over was telling him to listen to Finn.

Later that night when he was lying on the couch in the hospital, looking at Hayley and Hope and wondering 'it is true then. Kids do help patching up relationships!' as he reflected on their interaction throughout the day and realized that in light of Hope's injury she had put her anger at him at back of her mind or decided to forgive him. He started to feel guilty at how he had left Hope and her alone and went to see that Finn and his atrocious behavior with human faction but thanked his luck that at last he was able to stand up to him. As the realization hit him he sat up wondering 'he had refused to listen to Finn because of Hope so may be he can do it again. He can have a life.' He got up and started pacing in the room.

Hayley was deep in sleep curled up next to Hope when she heard a sound that woke her up. She saw him pacing in the room. She walked to him and asked in a soft voice "what is going on?"

Klaus said "I think I can fight it. I stood up to Finn because I wanted to come to Hope. I think I can fight it."

She slipped her hand into his hand and asked "what are we going to do if she does not wake up Klaus?"

Klaus said "she will. She will wake up Hayley."

He pulled her in an embrace and led her to the sofa and laid down with her on the sofa with his arm around her. Soon she fell asleep in his arms while he stayed up looking at Hope for a while and then drifted off to sleep too. Next time when his eyes opened the sunlight was peeking in through the window. He looked at Hope who was still asleep and then he sat up abruptly as he noticed her finger stirring. Hayley startled by the sudden movement, opened her eyes and asked groggily "what happened?"

and then followed his gaze with sinking heart. A smile broke on her face as she saw Hope looking at them. They both hurried towards her and she asked "hey honey. How are you feeling?"

Hope said "mommy."

Klaus asked "can you hear me?"

Hope said "daddy."

Klaus laughed and asked "what is your name?"

Hope said "Hope Mikaelson."

Klaus laughed again with relief and hugged her, kissing her head wrapping an arm around Hayley bringing her in the group hug too.

Klaus at once noticed something and looked at Hayley who was looking at him too. She said angrily "did you? I told you not too."

Klaus said "no Hayley I didnt. I was with you all night. I swear I didnt."

Hayley looked at her face and asked "then how Klaus? How will we explain how her injury went away."

Klaus said still confused "I have no idea Hayley."

He got up and said "no one knew she is hurt except for you, me, Alexis…." he stopped talking.

Hayley looked at him and asked "what?"

Klaus said "I told Finn that she was hurt but he wouldnt. Why would he?"

Hayley said "you mean to tell me you think Finn Manning who is controlling you just healed our daughter?"

Klaus shook his head and said "no I dont think so. I dont expect him to do this. He is … did he? I will kill him if he did this."

They both looked towards the door as the door opened and a doctor walked in. He looked at Hope and said "hello my name is Dr Sanders. Dr Jim called in sick and he wanted me to look at you. Well I don't see any injury. That is strange. You chart says that you were bruised but you don't seem to be."

Hayley looked at Klaus in alarm and signaled him.

Klaus raced his mind for some excuse and then walked to he doctor and said looking into his eyes "Dr Sanders, you don't know anything about her injury recovering. You can still see the bruising."

Dr Sanders's stared at him for a moment and then blinked and said "oh right. So it seems that you are recovering."

He walked to Hope and said "I am going to touch you here. Tell me if it hurts or not."

Hope shook her head and said "mommy I am hungry."

Klaus asked the doctor "is she okay to go home."

Dr Sanders said "she looks fine. Let me see do some test and then she can go home."

After settling Hope down Klaus said "I have to go to work and then later I will go to the compound to find out if Finn has anything to do with it."

Hayley said "doesn't matter Klaus but I dont like that we have to feel obliged to him for what he did for Hope."

Klaus looked at her and said "no. that will not happen."

He suddenly felt angry and said "if he had done it on purpose so that I will become loyal to him then he is wrong. I will not be his lackey much longer" and stormed out of house.

By the time he left the station it was so late that he decided to postpones visiting Finn and went home. Hayley had put Hope to bed and was laying down the table. In the meanwhile Klaus went to check on Hope. He kissed her forehead, fixed her blanket and left the room quietly. He looked at Hayley as they ate their food and said "you know I have been thinking. If these incidence like my becoming an hybrid or Hope getting injured had not happened our relationship wouldnt have been tested. I am glad that they happened and proved to us that we can get through anything."

Hayley looked at him and smiled and said "you should be happy that you got off that easily. Next time might not be that easy."

Klaus said "I know. I should thank Hope for falling down because I was sure this time you will not forgive that easily."

She looked at him and smiled. That night when Klaus made love to her she knew he was right about them getting through anything as a team.

Friday afternoon he entered the house feeling excited after many days. He smiled as Hope came running to his him. He scooped her up and said "how about daddy and you have a movie night tonight."

Hope said excitedly "yesss."

He kissed her and carried her to the kitchen from where he could smell something nice being cooked. He walked to the chair, sat down with Hope on his knees and asked "how was your radiation?"

Hayley said "good. I felt a bit tired afterwards but now I am fine."

Klaus said "oh. Were you okay while driving home?"

Hayley said "oh yeah that was not a problem. Anyway it is weekend. Time to recuperate. I will get some rest over it."

Klaus put Hope down on the floor and said "so what are we having for dinner?"

He walked to her as Hope ran away from there, leaned in and put his hand on her waist making her jump. She smiled, leaned back against his chest and said "lasagna. Hey what are you planning with Hope? Have you forgotten it is full moon tonight?"

Klaus said against her ear "no I have not forgotten" while continuing holding her from her waist "the upside of being a hybrid. I dont have to change tonight. I can change on will."

Hayley spun towards him and asked "what?"

He smiled and said "Finn Manning told me a few days ago. I didnt believe it at first but Marcel confirmed it for me today."

Hayley jumped up excitedly, turned to him and kissed him smack on his lips saying "oh god this is wonderful."

Klaus laughed at her excitement and said "yes at least something good came out of all of this well apart from the other thing." He added with a twinkle making Hayley laugh. He continued " So I was thinking if you want to go and meet your pack you can. I will stay with Hope."

Hayley looked at him and asked excitedly "really?! Can you?"

Klaus asked with amusement "you wanted to meet them? Why didnt you tell me?"

Hayley said "I have been seeing them but not as much as I want to with everything going on it was difficult for me to go and meet them."

Klaus said "yes do go. Hope and I will have fun tonight." He turned to leave but stopped and said "just remember that you love me while being with Jackson."

Hayley threw the hand towel at him saying "ha ha."

She turned back to her cooking with a smile on her face while Klaus went upstairs to their room to change.

When Hayley entered her room around 4 in the morning feeling a bit tired, she smiled as she saw Hope snuggled close to Klaus fast in sleep. She changed her clothes and went to sleep too.

Her eyes opened as a soft hand fell on her face. She looked at Hope sleep in their middle. She looked at Klaus's peaceful face and then picked up Hope and carried her to her room. As she got back under the covers he grabbed her from her waist and said "read my mind. did you?"

Hayley said "now dont go and take credit for this one."

Klaus pulled her shirt up and said "so how was Jackson?"

Hayley said "he was wonderful. We had a great time. You cannot believe it… ahhh Klaus" as his lips caught her nipple and kissed it. He looked up and said "you were saying…"

Hayley smiled and said "I was telling you how wonderful my fiancé is" and cupped his face and kissed his lips as his hands slipped down and pulled her pajamas down and continued "how much my life would have been better if I …had met… oh god Klaus stop" as his hand toyed with in between her legs. He smiled and said "why should I stop it? You think you are the only one who can tease?"

Hayley panted as his lips found her breast again "who said I am teasing? I am… very serious."

Klaus said replacing his lips by his hands "ouch that hurts"

Hayley said "then don't ask me about him next time" as she brought his face close to him and planted a kiss on his lips, parted his lips with her tongue and explored his mouth and let her hand take off his shirt.

And when he took her after rolling over and exploring each others body for a while he had forgotten about Jackson and she knew she couldnt even dream of anyone except for him to make love to.

He pulled her in his arms, covered her with the duvet and asked "so now a serious question. How is your pack?"

Hayley said "good. I really want to break the curse. I talked to Sophie about it a few days ago. She said that she will get back to me about it but she has not. Hey did I tell you that I met Amber the other day."

Klaus said "where?"

Hayley said "when I was with Sophie trying to figure out how to break the sire bond. But the only person we found was a vampire named Charlotte but no one knows who she was sired to. Sophie said she will find out about her and get back to me. Still has not."

Klaus said "how did I miss all of this."

Hayley said "it was when we were having that issue about Caroline and Elijah."

Klaus said "ahh. I remember now. So you hid all of this from me because you didnt feel like talking to me."

Hayley turned away from him bringing his arm around her waist and said "yep" and closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep against the warmth of the his body.

Klaus was sitting at his desk thinking about what Hayley had said about breaking the curse. He realized that with everything going on he had forgotten that if Hayley triggers her gene then she will be affected by the cruse too and wondered 'what will happen to Hope if something happens to her'. He thought about it for a moment and then he picked up his cell and dialed Marcel's number. As soon as the call connected "Marcel I want to break the curse on the Crescent pack"

Marcel said "you cannot break the curse Klaus. It will bring chaos."

Klaus said "I know why you put the curse Marcel and I don't know what to say except for it is not fair to the whole pack to pay the price for a few. More importantly Hayley can trigger her gene by accident and if that curse remains in affective then she will be affected too and so will Hope be. I will go over you if I have to break the curse but I would prefer if you help me break it. I need to find everything about Brynne Deveraux- about the spell she put on them."

Marcel sighed and said "okay I will look into it" and disconnected the call.

Two days after the full moon after work, he parked the car outside his house and got out of his car and headed towards the front door when he stopped as he spotted Caroline sitting on the steps. He asked "why are you here Caroline and how do you where to find me?"

Caroline said with a smile as she walked towards him "I went to your apartment and found out that you have left so my next stop obviously is this place. I know this place. Remember that time when you apartment was being fumigated and we had to stay here."

Klaus sighed and said "Caroline I wanted to talk to you about us. I have realized that Hayley is right; that you have not let go of me. But this is not healthy. I am married and I am happily in love with my wife. I know I hurt you a lot and for that I am really sorry but you have to stop this. Leaving messages to me and then what happened in Mystic Fall. I distantly remember telling you that you should come after 7 and you knew what I do for unwinding and you decided to come before 7. I hate to admit it but I can see you doing it on purpose and that is just too unbelievable."

Caroline said "I am sorry Klaus. I don't even remember the message I left you. Honestly I don't know what you are talking about. I never did anything to Hayley or said anything to her. She is lying. You know I dont lie. I do love you and I tried to move on and honestly I was trying but now that fate has give me another chance."

Klaus looked at her in confusion and asked "what chance?"

Caroline smiled and said "you being a part vampire Klaus."

Klaus looked at her for a moment without saying anything and then said "no Caroline. I am married to Hayley."

Caroline said "but the reason you broke up with me was that you thought wolves and vampires are mortal enemies Klaus so what is the problem now? You are a vampires, I am a vampire. Why would you not reconsider it."

Klaus looked at her for a while and said "Caroline, it will be best if you leave. I think we are done. I honestly thought that we can handle this but I think I am done trying. I am sorry about that."

He left her standing there and went back inside.

Caroline followed him but stopped as she felt a barrier and groaned.

She sat on the footstep wondering 'what to do next.'

Hayley looked at Hope from the rare view mirror while pulling the car in the driveway and asked "did you have fun in the zoo Hope?"

Hope said "yes. thank you mommy."

Hayley smiled and said "your welcome baby" and then groaned as she saw Caroline sitting at the footstep of the house. She took Hope out of the carseat and said to Hope "Hope honey you go inside. I will be right in."

She opened the door ignoring Caroline and let Hope in. After closing the door behind Hope she turned to Caroline and asked "what the hell are you doing here?"

Caroline said "waiting for Nikky. He said he will be down in a minute. I see that he put the house in your name."

Hayley felt her heart sink but said "I dont believe you. Klaus will never cheat on me."

Caroline said "oh but he is."

Klaus came out of the bathroom, saw Hope sitting on the floor playing with her puzzle and wondered 'where was Hayley?' when he heard Caroline say "You are luck you know. I don't know how you managed to make him believe in you? What is your trick tramp? First you got him to ask you to marry you after things went south with Mikeal and then you managed to give your daughter his name and now you have gotten him in your control so much so that he does not believe anyone. You have come between him and his family. Do you realize that?"

Hayley started to say something angrily but then sighed and said "Caroline, get a life."

Caroline smiled and said "I am getting one Hayley. Just wait and see. Nikky will be mine."

Hayley snapped "it is Klaus or Nik or Niklaus not Nikky. Stop calling him that."

Caroline laughed and said "oh so you are jealous. Good to see that. Now you will understand what I went through when he left me for you."

Hayley stared at Caroline and said "I cannot believe that Klaus fell for you. You are a bitch."

Caroline said with contempt "not fell. He still loves me. I will get him back Hayley. He broke up with me because he thought I am immortal and he is mortal but look what has happened. He is immortal too."

Hayley said feeling frustrated "Are you crazy Caroline? We are married. What the hell is wrong with you?"

Caroline said with a satisfied smile on her face "I can do anything for Nikky Hayley. Finn was there for Klaus Hayley. I knew Finn wanted to make hybrids so I suggested Klaus. Why do you think he never went for Tyler? I was going to make sure that Klaus entered the room somehow but I got lucky and he decided to go on his own. Klaus was always supposed to be the one who was going to be the hybrid. You see Finn would do anything for me. I told him…" but before she could finish her sentence a fist landed on her face immediately followed by someone grabbing her by her throat. Caroline was so taken aback by that attack that she was unable to say anything.

Hayley hissed "Caroline enough is enough. I am not a violent person but you have just crossed a line. Let me tell you if you ever come after my family again and that includes Klaus I will make you pay for it. I am a cancer patient and my blood is poisonous to vampire. If you don't stay away from Klaus, I will feed you my blood. Do you get it?"

Caroline tried to say something but her arm was very tightly wound around her neck and the only sound that could come out was a gurgle. Hayley thought for a moment and then closed her eyes, thought about Hope and Klaus and the danger that Caroline has just put him through and jerked her arm causing Caroline's neck to snap. She brushed her hand and to her shock realized that she felt no remorse and went inside without realizing that someone was listening and watching them from the upstairs master bedroom window with shock and anger.
