A/N: This is the last chapter. It has gotten really long so I am posting it in two parts. I hope you enjoy it.

Synopsis: Kol moves to NOLA while Klaus and Hayley try to find control as Finn's start to interfere in their life more and more. Hayley and Klaus find out how to break the curse on Crescent wolves.

Hayley closed the door behind her and took deep breaths to calm herself down as she realized what she had done to Caroline and what Caroline had done to Klaus. Suddenly it hit her what she has done and a chill ran through her body and she yelled "Klaus".

Klaus had moved away from the window still in shock at what he had heard between Hayley and Caroline unable to believe that Caroline would go to this extreme to get him back. He recalled Hayley's "Now that I know she is a vampire I know what extent she will go to get you back".

He shook his head and looked at Hope and wondered 'how could he have been so blind not to see the obsession Caroline had on him? How could he be so blind to even think that party was in his and Hayley's honor. How can any women in Caroline's position be friendly towards her ex-finance and his wife and arrange a party for them.l He walked to Hope when he heard Hayley's panicked voice "Klaus".

He looked at Hope still busy with her doll and said "stay. I will be back" and headed out of the room.

Hayley was saying "oh god no. I hope not" when she sensed Klaus next to her.

She opened the front door and said in a panicked voice "tell me I have not triggered my gene because of that bitch."

Klaus looked at Caroline's unconscious body and walked to her. He bend to check her saying "no you have not. She is a vampire. You cannot trigger your gene by killing a vampire."

He thought for a moment and then asked "what happened?"

Hayley took a sigh of relief and said "she pushed me into. It was about time she took a major hint. Some people dont listen to logic. Take care of her. What if someone sees her dead or unconscious or whatever she is right now."

As she turned to go inside she turned back to Klaus and said "tell me you were not planning on going out with her?"

Klaus looked at her and said "no why?"

Hayley said grinding her teeth "I knew she was lying but just wanted to confirm."

Klaus held her arm and realized that she was shaking. He asked trying to find out what she was feeling right now "what happened Hayley? Why have you broken her neck and how come you are so calm about it?"

Hayley pried her arm free from his grasp and said angrily "I lost my temper. I could only tolerate her nonsense for so much and I am not calm about this whole damn thing. Why dont you tell her what you really want from her or from me and get it over with. You have to decide Klaus either her or me!"

Klaus grabbed her arm again pulling her towards him and said "are you serious? that is not even an option."

Hayley said calming a bit down "then tell her that Klaus because next time it will be her heart now that I am over my inhibition about fixing her."

Klaus looked back at Caroline and said "listen I will handle her. You dont worry about her."

As Hayley went inside and he swooped Caroline up he realized that Hayley hasn't told him about how Caroline had planned to turn him into a hybrid. He wondered 'why didnt she tell him that?' as he carried unconscious Caroline to his car and buckled her in the passenger seat.

Hayley entered the master bedroom, looked at Hope and asked"hey sweetie, what are you doing?

Hope said "coloring."

Hayley looked at her hand and saw that they were shaking now so she said "I will be back" and went to the bathroom.

She stood in front of mirror in bathroom wondering should she tell Klaus about what Caroline had been planning to do with him but then she decided against it thinking it might hurt him.

Thirty minutes later, Klaus was sitting in his car looking out into the bayou thinking about the extreme length Caroline was willing to go to get him back and successfully managed to destroy his life further, risking the possibility of him ever having more kids. He glanced at her sitting on the passenger seat still unconscious. He then remembered the role Finn had played to sire him and his anger at Finn multiplied. As he ran his fingers through his hair in frustration he heard her moan.

He looked at her as she opened her eyes.

Caroline looked around and asked "where are we?" and then remembered what happened. She sat up straight and said angrily "Hayley snapped my neck! I try to be nice to her and this is what she does."

Klaus stared at her in disbelief and for the first time seeing her fiddle with facts snapped him and he said "and might I ask what did you do to provoke that?"

Caroline said after a moment of frustration "why would you think that I provoked her?"

Klaus couldnt help but laugh and then turned to her angrily and shouted "how could you do this to me Caroline? You say that you love me and look what you have done! I wouldnt want this for my enemy and you wanted this for someone whom you love!"

Caroline said leaning back a bit at the angrily outburst "I wanted this for you because I love you Klaus. I cannot see you with that tra…." but Klaus raised his hand said coldly "stop, stop it right now. I will not hear anything about Hayley anymore. I have given you many benefits of doubt Now I want you gone and forget about me and I would prefer that you do it yourself or else I will find a way for you to forget about me. I will never be yours. I love Hayley and I will always love it but I am grateful to you that you made me realize how much I care about Hayley."

Caroline looked at him and said pleading now, tears gleaming in her eyes "Klaus please. We are immortals, she is mortal. She will die eventually. Why do you want to spend your life with her?"

Klaus closed his eyes for a moment to calm himself down and then said "yes she is mortal and I will love her till the last day of her life."

Caroline said with tears falling down her cheek "Klaus…"

but Klaus said "leave Caroline. You have already put us through a lot and she never said anything about you until Mystic Falls. Even then I gave you benefit of doubt but hearing it from my own ears is just mind boggling. What happened to that sweet girl who spend the whole night with her friend when her parents died?"

When she didn't say anything he continued "I wish I could remember you with that memory instead of what I have witnessed. Now please leave and never come to New Orleans again."

Caroline looked at him one last time, wiped her cheek and then got out of car and whooshed out of there.

He sat there for a few moments having mixed feelings of calm and depression as he stared at the spot where Caroline was standing a few moments ago. He wondered why he was feeling sad and then realized that because even though Caroline has lost her ways, she and he had a great past and those memories have just been tarnished. He started his car and headed towards home but then he turned his car towards French Quarter. He got out of the car in anger and walked towards the compound for the first time in his life. He yelled "Finn."

A moment later Finn walked out to the courtyard. Klaus walked to him and punched him hard on his face causing him to stumble a few steps and said "that is for listening to Caroline and turning me to a hybrid and this…." he punched him hard again saying "is for giving my daughter blood with the risk that she could die with vampire blood in her system."

As he stepped back catching his breath while Finn glared at him angry he saw Amber appear from one of many rooms and hurried towards him. She asked "Klaus what happened?" and then looked at Finn.

Finn looked at Klaus and said in a cold voice 'first of all I had no idea why Caroline wanted me to use you for my experiment until I moved to New Orleans. Secondly as for your daughter, that was the risk I was wiling to take. At least she would have lived."

Klaus barked "not as a child vampire you jerk and what if you couldn't get Elena's blood or for that matter your own child's!"

As soon as the last words came of his mouth he saw Finn face contorting in anger and he had hit a sour spot but right now he didn't care.

Finn took one step close to him and hissed "you should be grateful to me. She was not going to coming out of that comma if I had not done that."

Klaus shouted "I know why you did it. You want me in your debt that you saved my daughter but that will never happen Finn."

He was about to turn when he saw Marcel come in and say "Finn…"

Finn looked at Marcel steaming in anger and barked "what?"

Marcel said "someone killed Sophie Deveruax."

Klaus stopped in his track and looked at Finn who hissed "who?"

Marcel said "looks like a witches work. She died of blood loss."

When Finn headed towards the exit Klaus couldnt help it but follow him asking "what are you going to do?"

Finn said with annoyance without stopping "going to find out who killed her."

He took out his cell and dialed Hayley's number and said "I will be late" and disconnected.

When Klaus got home it was around 3 in the morning and he was really tired. He cursed Finn and Caroline for putting him in the middle of this kind of life as he got under the covers after changing his clothes causing Hayley to stir in her sleep and ask "what happened?"

Klaus turned to her and wrapped his arm around her saying "Hayley someone killed Sophie Deveraux. I spend half the night chasing after those damn witches and making sure Finn does not kill any innocents."

Hayley asked in shock "what?!"

Klaus said in frustration"yes we were unable to find anything. Any way it is their headache. This is such a frustration I cannot even report it because it is supernatural business. I am tired."

She hesitated for a moment and asked "and Caroline?"

He didn't say anything for a moment and then he kissed her furiously and said "I am sorry Hayley for not doing this before. I have put you through so much torture. I cannot believe that she would go to his extreme."

Hayley stared into his eyes and realized that he knew what Caroline had done.

She asked "you heard us?"

Klaus nodded and pulled her tighter towards him kissing her forehead and said "I am so sorry Hayley. Because of me you had to go through so much. I should have listened to you before. It is amazing that I am a detective and didnt see what was right in front of me."

Hayley said wrapping her arms around him "it is okay Klaus. You had no idea and it is natural that you will believe her if I dont tell you anytihng."

He smiled as he felt a kiss on his chest and closed his eyes. Soon they both feel asleep putting Caroline out of their mind for good.

He groaned at the sound of bell ringing and the first thought that crossed his mind was it might be Finn but then he shook his head considering it was still too early. He shifted causing Hayley to stir in her sleep. He picked up his cell from the side table with his right hand while his left hand was still wrapped around Hayley and said in a groggy voice "hello."

And then sighed as he heard Elijah saying "Kol, Rebekah and me are coming at 7 tonight. Just wanted to let you know. Rebekah and I will be staying over the weekend. Just wanted to let you know."

Klaus said "right. Now let me sleep" and dropped the phone on the side table.

As he turned back to her she asked eyes still closed "who was it?"

He wrapped his arm around her again and keeping his eyes closed told her about Elijah's plan. She smiled and fell back to sleep again until they were woken up by Hope knocking on their door.

They had laid back morning during which they prepared room for Rebekah, Kol and Elijah and Klaus spent some quality time with Hope. Around noon he was playing with her in the yard when he sensed as if someone was watching them. He looked around but couldn't see anyone in sight but his sixth sense told him that Finn was here a moment ago. The thought that he was watching them unnerved him and he took Hope inside.

Hayley was putting Hope's toys in the toy box when she heard Hope asking Klaus "when is Uncle Elijah coming?"

Klaus said "His plane lands at 7 which is your sleeping time. You can meet them in the morning. okay?"

Hope said adamantly "but I want to meet him today."

Klaus said "well if you want to stay up late to meet him then sure why not. Can you stay up late?"

Hope said excitedly "yes."

Around 6:45 Hayley asked as she put pasta in the boiling water "Hope are you sure you want to stay up?"

Hope said "yes" as she sat down on the sofa and hugged her doll.

Hayley looked at Klaus and said "just wait 10 minutes. She will go to sleep. Just wait and see."

Klaus smiled and went to his room saying "I think I should get ready for the airport."

He came out of his room after 5 minutes in changed shirt and with shoes in his hand.

Hayley looked at Hope sitting on the living room sofa with her head drooping on her chest and eyes almost shut and smiled. She nudged Klaus who was putting on his shoes to leave for the airport.

Klaus looked up and smiled as he followed her gaze. He walked to her and slightly shook Hope and asked "are you sure you want to stay up?"

Hope said in a sleepy voice "no daddy I want to sleep."

Klaus laughed as he picked her up and carried her to her room. He laid her down, pulled the blanket over her, kissed her forehead and left after turning on the nightlight.

Hayley was setting down the table when she heard the sound of door opening and Rebekah's voice "hey we are here."

She looked up feeling conscious about meeting Kol even though she has met him before. Rebekah hugged her tight and said "hey you look great. Are you sure you had cancer?"

Hayley laughed and said "of course I am sure. And thank you fro the compliment. Whole of Mikaelson family needs glasses you know."

Rebekah laughed and said "no we dont. No one in our family has ever gotten glasses."

Hayley looked at Elijah and smiled saying "hello Elijah. How are you?"

Elijah said "busy but great. Rebekah is right. You look great."

He looked around and asked "Hope gone to sleep."

Hayley laughed and said "has Klaus told you how much she wanted to stay awake?"

Elijah nodded and looked at Klaus leaning against the soft.

Hayley turned to Kol and said "hello Kol. How was the flight?"

Kol smiled and said "good. How are you Hayley? I have to agree with my siblings. you look great. If I had not known I would never have guessed you are a recovering cancer patient."

Hayley's eyes went to Klaus and asked "have you coached them ?"

Klaus laughed and said "of course not love. You doubt a Mikealson?"

Hayley smiled and said "why dont you show them their room and then we can have dinner. They must be tired."

She was putting pasta in the dish when she felt his arms go around her waist. She said "Klaus you siblings are here. Behave" as his lips found the weak spot on her neck.

Klaus whispered "well I am not doing anything wrong. Am I?"

Hayley jumped out of her skin as she heard Rebekah say "Am I going to be seeing this a lot over the weekend?"

Klaus stepped back laughing whereas Rebekah smiled at the embarrassed look on Hayley's face and asked "so what is for dinner?"

Hayley passed her the pasta dish and said to Klaus "get the salad from the fridge. And then can you go and check on Hope please?"

Klaus put the salad on the table and went to check on Hope while Hayley continued to set the table with Rebekah's help.

After dinner they sat in the living room having coffee and talking. The ice between her and Kol melted in no time to her relief. She looked at amused expression on Rebekah face as Klaus settled down close to her putting his arm around her shoulder and smile on Elijah's face gave her relief that he had put that incident behind him but the biggest relief was seeing Klaus acting normal seeing her and Elijah's interaction. At last after an hour she started to feel tired. Klaus felt her stir next to him but before he could say anything Kol said "Hayley why dont you rest. In fact we should all turn ourselves in. We can catch up in the morning."

Klaus said "yes lets sleep. I have a day off day after too so we have plenty of time."

They all retreated to their room. As soon as her head hit the pillow she went to sleep not even sensing him pulling her close to him after he got into the bed.

Next morning they had a wonderful breakfast during which Kol and Hope reacquainted and Rebekah gave Hope an Elsa doll whereas Elijah gave her a lego set and Kol gave her Anna doll. After that Kol, Elijah and Klaus left to show Kol the office whereas Rebekah and Hayley headed to mall with Hope. She gathered from her and Rebekah's conversation that Esther had still not changed her mind about her but she was willing to talk about Hope which was a positive development in her mind.

In the afternoon during dinner Klaus announced that Kol will be staying with them until he settles down in the office and gets a place for himself. Hayley noticed that Kol was hesitant about this suggestion and knew it was because of her but then he agreed.

Elijah and Rebekah left early Monday morning whereas Kol stayed back settled into a room next to Hope's. For Hayley and Klaus it was a great sight to see him bond with Hope. It amazed them how she had warmed up to Kol in no time and before they knew it a week went by during which both Hayley and Klaus realized the advantage of having Kol in the home; they could go out on a date while leaving Kol to babysit Hope or use as a driver after her radiotherapy. The only concern they both had was if Kol discovered the blood bag Klaus was hiding at the back of the freezer so Klaus tapped it under the ice maker where he hoped no one will look. Klaus also brought Kol up to speed about the supernatural community including the original family of vampire in New Orleans after discussing it with Elijah.

For the next few days things went great. Klaus and Hayley took a sigh of relief when he didnt get any calls from Finn during those days. In spite of Finn not contacting him Klaus had this nagging feeling that he was watching him especially when he was just alone with Hope. He thought of talking to him about it and then decided against it thinking why stir the hornets nest.

Wednesday morning around afternoon Hayley and Hope were playing a board game when the bell rang. Hayley laughed and said to Hope "it is my turn. Don't cheat. I will be back." as she walked to the front door. She opened the door and after recovering from initial shock she asked "Amber! what are you doing here?"

She said "I wanted to talk to you."

Hayley looked back and after remembering that she was a human said "okay you can come in."

After she came in Hayley led her to the living room and said "what do you need from me?"

Amber looked at Hope and said "I wanted to talk to you about my baby."

Hayley looked at her in confusion and asked "what? about your baby? why?"

She said "A while back I found out that Finn wants to make our baby a hybrid making machine. He tried to assure me by his own way" he rolled her eyes and continued "but I am not convinced. As I dont know anyone having a supernatural baby so I figured I will talk to you about it. You have a child with Klaus. I am sure he does not want to use his child for his personal agenda."

Hayley looked at Amber's distressed face and sighed and said "why dont you sit and tell me exactly what happened?"

She then turned to Hope and said "baby why dont you go and play in your room. Mommy had to talk to her friend about some big people stuff."

Hope looked at Amber curiously and then left.

Amber said "o wow she is very obedient" and then realizing that Hayley was not smiling she took a deep breath after sitting down on the sofa and said "I was attached by someone a few days ago who proved that my baby's blood can be used to make hybrids. When Jacob, Finn's brother confronted Finn about it, Finn got so angry that he bit him. Can you imagine that monster bit his own brother? He said that he had no idea but I dont trust him. I thought he will use our child to make hybrid so when I called him on his bluff, to prove that I was wrong he ordered the kill on the wolves in the bayou. What?" as she noticed Hayley's sitting up and asking "what? when?"

Amber continued "a few days ago but I didn't want him to commit murder in the name of my child. Already I am going through hell dealing with his supernatural side so I asked Jacob to help those wolves which he did but Finn is really angry now and I am scared. Our child is supernatural apparently. She has healing ability, has witch powers from Finn's mother side and with my luck I am sure she will be have a werewolf gene. Talk about normal pregnancy issues. I want to talk to someone about these kind of things but there is no one. He has locked me in the home. I managed to sneak out today to meet you. Klaus is a hybrid too, how do you cope with him."

Hayley said "well one thing Klaus is not a psychopath murderer" as soon as the words were out she realized that was not comforting Amber so she said "sorry i shouldnt have said that. Klaus was not always a hybrid Amber. Finn turned him last month. He triggered his werewolf gene a few months ago so it is not like as if he knew this world. Before triggering his gene his life was like yours I imagine before you got sucked into this world. Listen as much as I hate Finn for what he did to Klaus, I feel sorry for both of you and I think you two are in this together and even if you want to get out of it you cannot. This child will always remain a bond between you two. You need to trust him. Talk to him about your fears. Klaus thinks that he cares about this baby."

Amber asked in frustration "if he does then why does not he show that care?"

Hayley sighed and said "some people don't Amber but that does not mean that they don't care about you."

Amber asked "arent you scared that Klaus can harm your daughter?"

Klaus opened the front door and entered the house thinking about spending some quality time with Hope when he heard someone saying "aren't you scared that Klaus can harm your daughter?"

He wondered 'what was Amber doing here?' as he recognized her voice. He took a step cautiously towards the living room when he heard Hayley said "First of all you have to remember it is not just your child Amber, it is his too and honestly I was for a moment when he turned hybrid but not before that but then I saw him with her and I knew that he would die before hurting Hope. How can you think that father of your child wants to harm your child? You said yourself that he had no idea that his child can be used to make hybrids so why are you still doubting him? I suggest you start thinking of this child as his too and you will realize that he does not want to hurt his child."

Amber said "You dont know Finn Hayley. He is a monster. I have seen him in the past 4 months and he is just a monster. I am surprised that Klaus is working with Finn because the two times I have met him he does not seem the kind."

Klaus stayed there listening to them and smiled as Hayley said angrily "because Finn wants to ruin our lives. If it were up to Klaus, he wouldnt go near him."

Amber was about to say something when Hope screamed "daddy" and ran to him.

Klaus picked her up as she jumped into his arms and smiled and then looked at Amber.

Amber looked at Klaus smiling down at Hope and suddenly felt a heaviness in her heart and said "I should be leaving" and left before Hayley could say anything.

Klaus walked to Hayley and kissed her and asked "why was she here?"

But before she could answer his phone rang. He picked it up as he put Hope down and then after listening to the other side he said "right" angrily and put the cell down.

Klaus looked at Hayley and said "Hayley I have to go."

Hayley said "you just got home Klaus. Who is it? Is it work?"

Klaus said "no it is Finn, Hayley. He wants me to find Amber and I cannot help but listen to him. Damn it" and left ignoring her "Klaus no…"

As he stepped out he saw Amber sitting on the steps. He asked her "what happened?"

Amber said "I am not going back."

Klaus sighed and said "listen Finn just called. He wants me to bring you back. Somehow he knows that you are here. He is livid with anger. Yo have to go back before he does something regrettable."

Amber said "I am not going back to that prison Klaus."

Klaus said "I am sorry Amber. You dont have choice in this."

Amber looked at him angrily and said "you cannot force me."

They both turned towards the door as it opened and Hayley stepped out.

Hayley opened the door with the full intention of stopping him from listening to Finn this time but stopped as she saw him holding Amber's arm.

She walked to him cautiously and asked "Klaus what are you doing?"

Klaus looked at Hayley and said desperately "you know I cannot resist it."

Hayley said "but you did once with Hope. You can do it again."

Amber looked at him in confusion and said pleading now "let me go Klaus."

Klaus looked at Hayley and before she could say anything the whooshed out of their with Amber.

Hayley called him a couple of times but he didnt attend his call so she put Hope in bed around 7 and went to sit in the living room. Around 8 Kol came home looking very tired. Kol wanted to wait for Klaus for dinner but when Hayley told him that he was held up at work both of them had dinner and then he retreated to his room after helping her clean up in the kitchen. She also retreated to her room after checking up on Hope. She change her clothes and was about to get into bed when he entered the room.

She asked angrily "where were you and what have you done with Amber?"

He said in a slurry voice as he went to his side of the bed and sat down "he killed the vampires who were guarding her Hayley but he didnt harm her as far as I know. He was so angry but … I couldn't do anything and just stood there while he stood proudly in the middle of courtyard with those dead vampires and you should have seen Amber. She is so scared of him and damn it I cannot even get drunk now" and fell on the bed.

She walked to him and sat next to him as he slumbered on the bed saying "I cannot do this anymore. I am a detective and have been seeing murders right and left. I have to look over so many things. Sophie Deveraux died and I couldnt do anything about it and now these vampire but still he is committing murders and I cannot do this. This is not right. This is not who I am."

Hayley asked confused "what do you mean Klaus?"

Be she realized that he had fallen asleep. She sighed, got up, took off his shoes and put a blanket on him and went to lie next to him. After thirty minutes she managed to get some sleep only to be woken up by him kissing her neck. She could feel urgency in his kisses and need to gain control on her. She realized that he was trying to gain control on himself. She moaned as his lips sucked on her neck and panted fully aroused now "Klaus" as his hands grabbed her pelvis over her pajamas and gently squeezed it.

He said "please Hayley dont say anything about yesterday. Let me forget about it."

Hayley sighed and kissed him saying "we will get through it Klaus. You cannot give up that easily. What did you once tell me? the bigger picture. Just focus on that" and moaned loudly as his lips moved to her torso as he took off her shirt.

He muttered against her navel "I know but it is easier said then done Hayley."

Hayley took off his shirt and said "I know Klaus. I wish I could help you in any other way other then just being there for you. This is the only thing I can do."

Klaus looked at her and smiled and sneak his hand in her pajamas and pulled it down while Hayley helped herself to his.

Next time when she woke up, it was still dark. She saw him sitting next to her dressed. She asked him "hey you okay? why are you dressed? It is still early" as she sat down pulling the duvet on her naked shoulder. He looked at her, smiled helplessly and ideally pulled the duvet down exposing her breast and said "yes I am. I got called in. Some officer related shooting. You look beautiful."

Hayley laughed feeling relieved that he had forgotten about last night at least for a short while and tired to cover herself but he pulled her towards him and kissed her hard on her lips while cupping his face and said "I love you Hayley."

She leaned back and said "I love you too" as she fixed his tie.

He leaned her back brushed his fingers on her breast ideally and said "this is a lovely sight but unfortunately I have to leave."

He gently brushed his lips on her scar sending a chill through her body and left the room.

The week went by in a frenzy. He was busy at work trying to solve that officer related shooting while Hayley took upon herself to go to her radiotherapy as he had gotten busy with the case. Even though he was really busy at work he made it a point to call Dr Dole to keep himself informed of the progress she was making. She would leave Hope with Kol who was great help to her. On Wednesday she noticed some reddening on her skin and sighed as she reminded herself that it was a potential side affect of radiotherapy so why is she surprised. She visited Eve a couple of times during this time and spend a lot of quality time with Kol. Sometimes looking at how close he had gotten Hope, it was hard for her to believe that he had only been there two weeks ago. Rebekah was calling her almost every day. Like Kol and Hope's growing relationship hers and Rebekah's was also growing. For the first time in her life she felt what it meant to have a sister who cares about you. She was also starting to realize the importance of a big family that Klaus has and often looking at Kol and Hope chatting and laughing she would start thinking of having more kids only to get depressed at the thought that she might never be able to have more kids with Klaus being a hybrid and all. At those times she would just shake her head and chide herself for thinking along those lines.

Saturday morning Klaus said to Hayley "how about you give Hope something to eat and let's have brunch around 11 at Cheese cake factory? We can have something light right now"

Before Hayley could say anything Hope jumped into his lap to Kol's amusement and said "yes yes daddy. Lets go."

Klaus smiled kissed her and put the coffee on the pot and turned to Kol and said "in the mean time we can discuss that case of yours. I was thinking of getting Elijah's input on it too."

He turned to Hayley and said "we have to discuss this case in the study and you need to eat something. I talked to Dr Dole yesterday and she is concerned about your weight and so am I. "

Hayley said impulsively "aww that is so sweet" making Kol choke on water he was drinking as he started to laugh.

She suddenly felt flustered at the look Kol give her.

Klaus gave Kol a dirty look and said in the same tone "Hayley I am serious if you dont eat anything proper I will feed you myself."

Kol turned to pour coffee in the cups to hide the smile as she snapped "okay fine!"

He turned and handed Klaus his cup of coffee and followed him to the study giving Hayley a very wide grin.

As Klaus turned the door of study he turned to Kol and asked seeing the grin on his face "what?"

Kol said still grinning "nothing. Just like the way you two are together. If mothers sees how happy you two are she will accept Hayley in no time you know that right? Why dont you invite her here?"

Klaus sat down behind the desk and opened the file saying "after her treatment is over. I dont want her to go through another Mystic Falls experience. Last time it was bad."

Kol nodded and took the seat as he took out his cell and dialed Elijah's number

Soon they were on conference call with Elijah while Hayley got herself and Hope ready.

She kept Hope busy with games and Tv while they were discussing the case. At last the study door opened after an hour and she heard Klaus say to Kol "you have thirty minutes. I am starving."

While Kol went to his room to change whereas Klaus went to the living room. He looked at Hayley and smiled saying "oh good you guys are ready. I just have to put on shoes and voila we are ready."

As he settled down on the sofa next to Hope and Hayley as they were doing puzzle his cell rang. He picked it up as he read Marcel's name on the caller ID and said "hello."

Marcel said "you wanted to break the curse. I found something. Sabine a witch in the New Orleans witches coven was the one who put curse on Crescent wolves. I will tell you the details later but right now you should get to her before Jacob Manning. She tried to kill Amber and has taken Finn and Juliet, their sister hostage."

Klaus looked at Hayley and asked "are they okay?"

Marcel said "we are looking for Finn and Juliet but Amber is fine. You have a very small window Klaus."

Klaus said to Hayley "lets go."

Hayley asked "what? where?"

Klaus said "I will tell you on the way. Kol!" shouting at the end of sentence.

Hayley started explaining to Hope what was going on while Klaus told Kol "can't do the brunch. We have to go out for something urgent. You have to take care of Hope. Don't leave her unattended even for a minute Kol. She is your responsibility."

He then said to Hayley "hey lets go" and headed out.

Half an hour later Klaus traced Sabine in the cemetery but before Klaus could do anything Sabine raised her hand and started muttering making Hayley double over with pain in her stomach and Klaus bleeding through the nose. Klaus chanced her a glance and whooshed to Sabine ignoring the bleeding nose of his and grabbed her by her throat lifting her in the air but Hayley straightened and said "no stop Klaus. Sabine I just need a way to break this curse."

Sabine looked at her and said "I know why you want to break the curse Andrea Labanoir but nothing good will come out of breaking this curse."

Klaus said wiping the blood "if you dont break it I will turn you before you jump to a new body."

Sabine said "okay I will do it but you have to wait till the full moon to use it."

Hayley said "I can do that. You just make the potion now."

Hayley kept on glancing at Klaus nervously as Sabine made the potion and when she handed it to Hayley in the end they both spun towards the voice saying "I hope you have not deceived them like you have deceived me Celeste."

Klaus asked "Jacob, what are you doing here?"

Jacob looked at him for a minute without saying anything and then said "well I am here to take care of some business and I suggest that whatever you two are up to you should not let my brother know about it. He does not exactly like to be stabbed in the back."

Hayley took one step towards him angrily but Klaus held her arm and said "I heard that he had gotten himself in some trouble."

Jacob looked at him and then without saying anything to him he turned to Sabine and before anyone could respond he whooshed out of there.

While driving back from work he got a call from Finn to his annoyance who demanded his presence in the compound.

He dropped Hayley home and headed towards the French Quarter. Twenty minutes later he was standing in the parlor of compound. Finn looked up from the glass of Bourbon he was drinking and said to him "I hear that you are working on breaking the cruse on Crescent pack."

When Klaus didn't answer he said "nothing good will come out of breaking that curse Klaus but I will not interfere because I know the meaning of putting curse on someone."

Klaus looked at curiously wondering 'what did he mean?' but didnt say anything.

At last Finn said "I am going to Mystic Falls. I want you to guard Amber till tomorrow until I come back. Make sure she does not run away."

Klaus smirked and said "if you think I will spend every free minute I get in protecting a woman you are supposed to protect considering she is carrying your child then you are wrong. "

Finn said carelessly now walking out of the parlor to the courtyard "I have other important things to do and I cannot spend all my time in the compound."

Klaus followed him and asked in annoyance "you really dont care about her at all?!"

Finn turned and looked at him with murderous expression but didnt say anything. He said angrily "you cannot keep me under your thumb Finn. I will break this sire bond."

Finn got up angrily and said "you should be grateful that you dont have to turn anymore. I had to go through transformation two times in my life and I wouldn't do it again for the life of me."

Klaus said with contempt "well I would prefer turning to being your lackey."

Finn looked at him angrily, said "your home is the one next to Amber. That one." He pointed to one direction. Klaus followed his gaze and saw Amber standing in the corridor looking down at them. From the look on her face he knew she had heard everything and was upset about it. he felt bad for her and looked at Finn and caught him looking at her too. He looked back at Amber and then heard a whoosh sound telling him that Finn had gone. Klaus sighed, took out his cell and called Hayley and said "Hayley Finn has asked me to guard Amber. I will come home tomorrow."

Hayley exclaimed "what Klaus?!"

Klaus sighed and said "I cannot wait to break this sire bond." He looked up ideally and saw Amber walking back into her room.

While he laid on the bed late that night he wondered 'is he sired to Finn because he feels grateful to him that he does not have to turn on full moon anymore?'

As the thought crossed his mind he answered himself 'But that is ridiculous. He would take turning to wolf anytime then being his lackey. Wouldn't he?'

He wondered if it is possible to break the sire bond if he is not grateful to Finn anymore?

He thought about how this sire bond was affecting his life, his job and made a mental note of calling in sick to Ben next morning.

Thinking about random things he went to sleep.

While he was torturing himself with these thoughts Hayley was torturing herself with the same thoughts too. As she laid down on her bed after putting Hope to bed and having dinner with Kol and cleaning up the kitchen she thought about the protection detail excuse she had to tell Kol about why Klaus was not coming home that night and made a mental note of telling Klaus about the excuse the next day.

She spent the next day thinking about how to break the sire bond, how that was starting to affect their lives. It was not hard to notice that Finn was starting to take advantage of that sire bond more now. Klaus called her once to let her know that he was fine and will be back probably by the afternoon. She told him about the excuse so that he knows what Kol was talking about if that topic comes in the conversation.

When it turned 7 pm and still he didnt return she started to get anxious. She said to Kol "do you want to wait for Klaus for dinner or …"

Kol said "no lets wait. I am not hungry right now but you should eat probably."

Hayley smiled in spite of feeling like crying and said "I am fine. Thanks. We can wait for an hour and then we will eat. He called earlier today and said he will be back tonight. In the meantime I will put Hope to bed."

As she was changing Hope, she asked "where is daddy?"

Hayley said "he is held up at work Hope. Catching some bad guy."
Hope said "I miss him" as she laid her down.

She looked up at a sound and saw Kol standing at the door and said to Hope "me too."

She picked up the book and started to read while Kol fell on the carpet and buried his head in his own book. She turned the page thinking about Klaus and where he was and why has he not called her yet when Hope suddenly said with excitement "daddy!"
