Hayley has moved to Plantation house at Elijah's request and she has no idea where Elijah has gone. It has been 3 months she has moved in with Klaus and she has recently shared with him the sex of the baby.

Hayley was pacing in her room. It has been two days she had seen him ever since she had told him that they might be having a girl. He had not shown her or talked to her about how he felt about the whole situation. She was feeling so angry at him right now that if he were there she would have strangled him. She stopped and thought 'why was she being so agitated?' and the answer came to her 'perhaps it is the pregnancy hormones or perhaps it is HIM'.

She got out of her room and ideally started walking towards him room. She knew he was not home. She gently opened the door which was already partially opened and entered the room. The room was really nicely kept. There were paintings on the wall. The bed was really big. Looking at the big made up bed somehow made her stomach go tighten. She looked away from it and stared at the big TV mounted on the wall and then she smiled looking at the CD rack at the corner. She walked towards it and started going through the CD's when she saw one on the floor near the rack. She picked it up and read the title "Roman Holiday". She thought for a moment and after fumbling with the player for a few minutes she then put the CD in the player.

She picked up the remotes and went to the sofa chairs and then dragged the sofa chair towards the bed from where she could see the TV and curled on it. She studied the remote for a few minutes and then pressed some buttons and the movie came on. She smiled and then relaxed into the chair.

Klaus entered the house. It was late and he just wanted to read some nice book and then go to sleep. He went to the study and then came out of the study with the book in his hand and went to the kitchen. After pouring a drink for himself he went to his room. As he entered his room, he stopped when he saw her sitting on the sofa chair besides his bed.

Hayley looked up at him and then hastily got up. She felt her cheeks getting red. She said "I … didn't realize that you will be coming home early" She pressed stop button and hastily put the remote down.

Klaus came out of his initial shock and turned and stared at Gregory Peck on the screen and smiled. He turned to her and said "I didn't know that you were into movies"

Hayley said "neither did I"

Klaus smiled and said "if you want to watch it you can. I can go out"

Hayley wanted him to leave but it was not fair that she asked him to leave his own room so she said "It is okay. You can stay".

She sat down on the chair with her feet firmly planted on the ground and then switched on the movie again.

Klaus looked at her and then walked past her and sat on his bed. He took of his shoes and jacket and sat on his bed with his legs stretched straight and started to read the book. After a couple of minutes he looked up and saw that she had relaxed down a bit too as she had put her feet up on the chair too. He looked down at his book.

Hayley looked at him but he was reading his book. It felt weird to her seeing him so relaxed drinking with no shoes on for the first time partly lying down on his bed. She shifted her gaze again to the movie. Klaus would occasionally look at movie but mostly he was reading the book. He was lost in his book when he heard her.

"That was a good one"

"You have never seen this before!" Klaus asked her in surprise. He remembered the first time when he saw it when it was released in the cinema. He liked Gregory Peck and Audery Hepburn. He smiled at the memory when he had managed to compel his way into Hollywood to meet those two.

"No I haven't. I am not exactly that type of movie kind of a girl if you have not noticed" Hayley said with annoyance.

"Yes I have noticed that" Klaus said with a smirk on her face. He picked up the book and started reading it. After a couple of minutes he looked up and saw that she was holding the remote and reading the cast names coming at the end of the movie. He put the book down and asked her "so what do you think about it?"

"About what?" Hayley asked

"About the movie" Klaus said with some irritation

Hayley was quiet for a while thinking 'why is he talking to me? He has been ignoring me ever since Elijah has gone so what has changed'. She didn't exactly feel like talking to him but then she saw his face and realized that he was waiting for an answer. So she sighed and said "Well it was nice. Romantic but unrealistic" Hayley said

Klaus smiled and asked "and how is that?"

"Unrealistic or romantic?" Hayley asked him without looking at him

"Unrealistic. I can actually gauge that it was romantic" Klaus said with annoyance

"No one really falls in that kind of relationship" Hayley said

"What do you mean?" Klaus asked crossing his legs at the knees

Hayley turned to him and said "Well she was a princess and he was a newspaper reporter. They are from different backgrounds. How can she fall for him just after spending some time with him while sightseeing, haircut adventure, talking about their dreams and dancing?"

"You think people from different backgrounds cannot fall for each other?" Klaus asked her with raised eyebrows

"It is not just the background that comes into consideration. Their likes their dislikes, the way they both grew up, their outlook to the world. All of these things come into consideration. You cannot just change yourself for the other person or suddenly out of blue start liking fine art, music and dining just because he or she likes them" she stopped for a while and then said "well you can get used fine art, music and dinning but opposite is not possible"

"But she didn't end up with him" Klaus said

"Yes and that I think was realistic. I am glad that she realized that she could not forget her responsibilities and obligations and for that she was willing to let love slide" Hayley said with a smile.

"Hmm" Klaus said and opened his book again

"What hmmm?" Hayley asked with annoyance

"Nothing I was just thinking about what will you tell our daughter about true love" He said without looking at her.

He looked at her when she didn't say anything and looking at the emotional expression on her face he asked "what?"

"Nothing. I just didn't know whether you knew it was a girl or not"

Klaus looked at her and said in surprised tone "Well you told me"

"You didn't show any reaction" Hayley said with annoyance now

"What kind of reaction?" Klaus asked

"Any!" Hayley said getting up from her chair.

Klaus just stared at her thinking 'why was she getting annoyed' when she snapped at him "well are you happy?"

Klaus was shocked to hear it and then it hit him "Do you think that I would have been happier if it were a boy?"

Hayley looked at his narrowed eyes and registered the words "happier". She opened her mouth to say something but then 'kill her and the child' rang in her mind and she said "I don't know. I don't even know if you want this child or not. After all you wanted to kill this child"

She looked at him and when he didn't say anything she shook her head in disappointment, turned and left his room without saying anything else.

Klaus was so stunned to hear this that he was lost for words. He had known that those words will come to bite him in the ass one day. When he came out of his trace she was gone.

Klaus was not able to sleep that night. What Hayley had said kept on coming in his mind. He at last got a shut eye near dawn.

Hayley got up and went down to the kitchen to eat something. She had been having a lot of morning sickness lately and she was all alone. She had come to terms with the fact that Klaus will not be with her during this journal of pregnancy and even after that. She opened the fridge and after looking inside for a while she realized that it was stocked with everything. She took out milk and poured herself a glass of milk.

She picked up the milk and went to his study and sat on his chair and opened his laptop. She browsed through the internet for a list of names for girls. She suddenly realized that she does not have a clue about what to do during the pregnancy or how to take care of herself so she searched the internet and found a book about pregnancies and was about to order when she realized that she didn't have any card to order. She put the laptop on the desk with frustration and went to the shelf to look at the books. She read the titles of the book and realized that they varied from classics to historical. He had good selection of book, dry but good.

She suddenly felt very hungry. She looked at the clock on the table and realized that it was three in the afternoon. She had forgotten to eat so she went to the kitchen and opened the fridge and looked through it. It was filled with things but she was not interested in anything. She startled when she heard him "nothing to your liking?"

She stepped back and slowly closed the fridge door.

Klaus walked to the sink and poured himself a glass of water and then leaned against the island table and said "Hayley…"

Hayley knew what he wanted to say so she cut him off by saying "It is okay"

She was walking out when he asked her "Have you eaten anything?"

"I am not hungry" She said without turning towards him

"Then what were you doing in the kitchen" Klaus asked her with a smirk on his face.

"Okay! I came to eat something but I don't feel like anything that is in the fridge" she turned towards him and said with frustration. She then asked him as she saw him open his mouth "by the way you don't eat all those things so where did they come from"

Klaus closed his mouth and just stared at her and then said "Elijah said to take care of you so I am doing that"

He noticed her hand move to her stomach. He ignored the movement and asked her "what do you want to eat?"

Before she could stop himself the words were out "Ice cream" and then she felt her cheeks getting warm. She adamantly looked at him thinking 'he needs to take care of me. I am carrying his baby after all

'

Klaus stared at her for a second and then laughed. He walked towards her and walked passed her brushing her shoulder gently without saying anything.

Hayley fumed at his leaving like that. She stood there steaming in anger for a couple of minutes and then she picked up an apple in frustration thinking that she had to do eat something for the baby's sake and then she went upstairs to her room. She knew that he had left the house so she decided to watch a movie in his room. She went to her room and after selecting a movie from the rack she sat down on his bed and started watching the movie.

Klaus walked into the house and stopped for a second listening to the TV sounds coming from his room. He didn't like people in his room without his permission but right now he smiled and went to the study. He picked up a book from the shelf and sat on the chair behind his desk when his gaze fell on the screen of the laptop. He pulled the laptop towards him and read the title of the book being displayed on it. A smile crept on his lips when he saw that she had added it in the cart but not purchased it. He thought for a moment and then took out a credit card from his wallet and put it on the table and then he got lost in the book.

He was lost in his book when the cell rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Marcel

He picked up the phone and said "Marcel"

"The witches are having some sort of gathering in the cemetery. I thought you might be interested in knowing that Sophie Devereaux will be there too"

Klaus got up and said "Okay I will be there"

He put the book back in the shelf and left the house.

Klaus drove his SUV to Marcel's place thinking that he needs to stop Sophie from spilling any details about Hayley in front of Marcel. He got out of his car when he reached the compound and entered Marcel's place. Marcel was talking to Thierry. He turned at Tierry's tightened expressions and smiled at Klaus.

He walked to him and then said to Thierry "My man Klaus and I are going to pay Sophie Devereaux a visit. You are in charge of everything over here. Make sure if we are not back by morning you round up all the vampires who don't have the day light ring"

He then left with Klaus.

They reach the cemetery. Sophie along with Sabine and a couple more were sitting around a tomb talking.

Sophie looked up and walked to them. She looked at Klaus and was about to say something when he shook his head slightly. Sophie took the hint and said to Marcel

"What are you doing here? We are not using any magic"

"I know Sophie. I just came here to see what you were celebrating" Marcel said with a charming smile.

"Nothing much. We are morning my sister's death whom you killed" Sophie said with hatred in her voice.

"Okay then. Just remember no magic" Marcel said and then they left.

Hayley was feeling hungry so she went down after pausing the movie and open the fridge and then she opened the freezer to check if there is anything she could salvage from there. And then her gaze fell on the ice cream. She smiled and took it out. She put it in the bowl and took it upstairs to his room. She sat on his bed eating the ice cream. After she was done, she put the empty bowl on the side table and lied down on the bed. She didn't know when she went to sleep while watching the movie.

Klaus entered the house hoping to find quiet but then he heard the voices coming from his room. He sighed. He wanted to sleep so after thinking for a moment he went up. As he entered his room he stopped in his track when he saw her sleeping on his bed. He turned towards the TV and saw Julia Roberts says "indefinitely" and smile on the screen. He picked up the remote and turned the TV off.

He then stood there looking at her. The heavy brown locks of her hair were covering the side of her face and she looked really peaceful. His hand itched to remove them from her face. His gaze fell on the empty bowl on the table and from the smell it was clear that she had eaten some ice cream. He smiled and then after a thought he picked her up. She stirred but didn't open her eyes.

Klaus took her to her room and put her down gently on the bed.

Hayley opened her eyes for a fraction of second and her eyes registered him. She heard him say "Go back to sleep love"

He pulled the cover on her and left.

The next morning Hayley got up and laid in her bed for a couple of minutes thinking how she got there and then she went down after changing her clothes.

She poured herself a glass of juice and walked into his study. She went to the desk and saw that the laptop was still there with the same screen she was looking at one day before open. She sat on the chair sipping her drink when her gaze fell on the credit card on the table. She picked it up and then smiled at his name on the card. She pulled the laptop towards her and then entered the desired information on the computer to purchase that book.

She then leaned back on the chair and started browsing the internet while sipping her juice.

She looked up when she suddenly sensed him standing there. He walked in the room, went to the shelf and took out a book and was about to leave when she said "here is your card."

Klaus stopped and turned to her and saw that she was holding the card.

He said "keep it. You might need it"

He turns back again to leave.

Hayley looked at him in surprise and said "Thanks for the ice cream"

Klaus stopped and turned towards her and leaned against the door.

Hayley saw that he was bare feet. Somehow seeing him standing in bare feet made so homey. When he didn't say anything and kept staring at him she said "I want to talk to you about my family"

"Love we are your family now" Klaus said while walking towards the sofa in the room and sat on it.

Hayley was quiet for a while.

Klaus saw her biting her lips and smiled. He had observed that she was in a habit of biting her lips when she was nervous and she does that a lot around him.

Hayley said "I am talking about my pack"

"Well you cannot go to the bayou" Klaus said

Hayley suddenly got angry and got up "You told me about them and now that I am here I cannot even meet them"

"Yes isn't it ironic what you went through for that pack and you cannot now meet them" Klaus said with a sneer.

Hayley glared at him and then said "Shane promised me information about my parents.

What would you have done if you were at my place?"

"That is the interesting thing love. If I were at your place I would have done the same thing but the difference now is that the hybrids those were killed were mine. Those were

the family I was building for myself"

"You already have a family. Why are you looking for a new one?" Hayley asked

Klaus was quiet for a while and then he said "I want a family who accepts me for who I am"

"Don't your siblings accept you and care for you? The way I remember it, Elijah stood up for you to protect your child from those witches. He wanted Rebekah to come to New Orleans for your child. He wanted your happiness and that is why he didn't let me go" Hayley said trying to keep calm in her voice.

Klaus looked at her for a while and nodded. He was about to get up when she said again "Klaus I am serious I want to meet them"

"why do you want to go to them Hayley ? You don't even know them" Klaus asked her

"I want to know them. They are my only connection to my birth parents" hayley said with desperation.

Klaus looked at her for a moment and realized that he knew what she was going through. What wouldn't he do to find out his biological father's family, his roots?

He said to her "I will see what I can do. Meanwhile you will not leave this house. Do you understand?"

When she nodded he left the room not realizing that she was smiling.
