A/N : Based on the stories developed over 'the originals second chapter of their lives'. Two weeks after Hayley and Klaus got engaged on her birthday.


Kol was saying "how many ring do you think they have?"

"Fifty or so" Klaus said casually at which Kol whistled.

Hayley couldn't bear to listen to any more. She entered the room and the words came out without her realizing it. "Klaus I want us to get married before this new chaos happens"

Klaus chocked on the drink whereas Kol patted his back grinning.

"What, Love?" Klaus asked after he recovered from his coughing fit.

"I said I want to …" Hayley stated but Klaus snapped her

"Yes I heard that. Let me just ask you one thing" Klaus snapped and then asked her angrily "Are you out of your damn mind? How can we get married …." He stopped as she showed him her left hand's third finger where the diamond ring was gleaming "now?"

"So what did you have in mind when you gave me this ring? I suppose you had marriage in your mind when you asked me" Hayley asked with her hands on her hips.

Klaus said with a grin making Kol laugh too "Well technically you asked me".

But then both brothers ducked when Hayley threw the vase at them and stormed out of the room. But she stopped on the door way and said "Saturday 7 pm"

As she left Klaus looked at Kol and asked in surprised "what does she mean Saturday 7 pm?"

Kol took his hand and shook it with grin on his face and said "Congrats brother, your wedding date just got fixed"

Klaus fumed at that and said "Shut up Kol". He stormed out after her. As he was leaving Kol yelled "Don't ruin the plans Nik. Rebekah will be really heartbroken and most probably kill you"

"Shut up Kol" Klaus said it again and went up to her room. She was not there and the bathroom door was closed. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and then walked inside the nursery and then stopped. He came out of his trance a couple of seconds later and walked to the crib and grabbed the floating toy in midair and looked at Hope who was fast asleep. He stood there for a couple of minutes just observing it and thinking whether what he had just witnessed is possible or not. He had seen many things in his vampire life but this was something new. Looking at Hope sleeping so peacefully made him forget his annoyance at her.

He turned around when he sensed her. He put the toy next to Hope and walked towards her suddenly remembering their conversation downstairs. He said "Hayley I want to talk you about what happened downstairs"

Hayley gave him a sweet smile and said "Sure Klaus I am listening"

"We cannot get married right now" Klaus said flatly

Hayley asked him "why not?" while picking up Hope's bottle from the bed.

"Because there is a bloody war brewing in the quarter" Klaus snapped at him.

Hayley stared at him and then said "Niklaus Mikaelsons, we are getting married on Saturday. You better be in the church at 7 pm sharp or else I can take you there myself too. I am a hybrid now and I can do that"

Klaus's mind registered the use of his full name for the first time ever since he had known her. He opened his mouth to say something when they heard a cough from the door way.

Elijah looked at them standing so near each other and he knew by their stance that they were arguing about something. He decided to jump in. he said "Am I interrupting something"

Hayley and Klaus both said "No", "Yes" simultaneously.

Elijah smiled and said "Okay so that cleared everything up. So there are about 50 werewolves with those rings in the quarter right now. We need to hunt them before full moon"

"I know Elijah" Klaus said with clenched teeth and still not taking his eyes from you.

Elijah smiled and said "even better than"

As he was about to turn Hayley said "Elijah do you know about Saturday"

Ignoring Klaus's hiss he asked in confusion "what? What about Saturday"

"We are getting married on Saturday" Hayley said with a serious face not taking her eyes off of him.

Elijah looked from one to the other and said "O wow that is just…." And then to Klaus's utter annoyance he said "great. Congrats brother"

Klaus snapped and looked at him and said "shut it Elijah" and said to her "No we are not"

Hayley asked him casually even though her heart was beating so hard at his anger "then when? What did you have in mind when you asked me or as you have pointed out I asked you to get married?"

"I thought may be a couple of years down the road… "he started but stopped when she started laughing to his annoyance and Elijah's amusement.

"If it were up to you we would never get married" Hayley snapped at him and then went to the nursery leaving Elijah smiling and Klaus steaming in anger.

She closed the door and leaned against the nursery door trying to catch her breath and control her trembling legs to stand up to him like that.

Klaus turned towards Elijah and seeing the smile on his face he said angrily "not a word Elijah"

Elijah said with a smile"I didn't say anything but I want to"

Klaus practically barked as he left the room "what?"

"You have found your match" Elijah said with a smile and followed him.

Klaus entered her room angrily and almost yelled "Hayley I cannot go through with it"

Hayley jumped at his voice and said "Klaus it is a bad luck to see the bride be…."

"I know I know" Klaus said dismissively "what bad luck? There are about 50 werewolves with those bloody rings ready to attach us at any time. What can be worse than that?"

Hayley turned around and smiled at him and said sweetly "you not getting to the church on time"

"Damn Hayley" Klaus said angrily and then groaned when he heard Hope crying. Hayley gestured him to go in while putting on the lip gloss.

Klaus came out of the nursery with Hope in her arms wearing white frilly dress.

"You dressed her in a wedding gown too" Klaus asked her annoyingly.

"Of course it is only once that she will attend her father's wedding and on that point why aren't you ready. You have less than 30 minutes to get ready" Hayley said putting on the wrist watch.

"Once" Klaus said absentmindedly. He had suddenly noticed her dress and she looked exquisite in that. He couldn't tear his eyes from her even though Hope was forcing him to look at her with both hands on his cheeks.

"Of course once. You cannot even think about getting married again dear" Hayley said sweetly and went to the walking closet to take out her sandals.

Klaus said angrily "Is no one listening to me? We are not getting married today"

Hayley walked out of the walking closet with the silver sandals in her hands and said "Yes we are. Now go and change your clothes"

As she was putting them on they heard Rebekah's yell from the door "what the bloody hell? Niklaus it is bad luck… and why aren't you ready yet?"

Klaus at last steered his eyes from her and walked to the door "yes yes I know"

"Leave her here. I need to change her diaper" Hayley called him with a smile.

After he left Rebekah walked in and said "I wish you had selected something more fancy"

"You know Klaus does not like too frilly things" Hayley said looking in the mirror at her knee length white lace dress with pearl and bead on it.

She then was going to take Hope from Rebekah but Rebekah said "I will change her today. You just sit there and act like a bride"

Klaus went to his room and sat on the bed angrily when Kol peeked inside and said "Nik when you are ready come down" and then he noticed him sitting on the bed. He said "Nik you are still not ready".

Klaus got up angrily and went down to the sitting room and opened his mouth to say something when Elijah came to him and handed him a box.

"What is this?" Klaus barked

"Her wedding ring" Elijah said calmly

"Oh" he took the box and then burst out again "this is so stupid. Why do we have to get married right now?"

Elijah didn't say anything as his cell rang. He picked it up and said "Jackson so what is going on?"

"Marshall and his pack are planning to attack French Quarter tonight" Jackson said.

"Tonight?" Elijah said looking at Klaus who stared back at him.

"Okay we will be ready for them" Elijah said after a moment of silence.

"Bloody hell" Klaus said

"So does that me it has been postponed?" They turned towards the door where Hayley was standing with her hands on her hip. And then she looked at him and said angrily "I told you seeing bride in her dress before the wedding is bad luck"

Klaus who had been fighting to get out of this wedding for four days suddenly had a change of heart as he saw a slight disappointment on her face.

He snapped at her "No it is not postponed. We are getting married as planned" to her and Elijah's surprise. He went to her and said "I will be back in a minute"

He whooshed to his room and changed into a black suit with ligtening speed and after picking up a tie, he whooshed down.

As he entered the sitting room Elijah asked him "And how do you propose we go through with this wedding with the wolves planning to attack the French Quarter?"

"Haven't thought about the details yet" Klaus said tying his tie when someone took over the task from his hand. He looked into her eyes as she tied the knot of the tie.

He said to her "don't worry I am 100% on board now. And I will see who tries to stop it".

He leaned in and kissed her on her cheek and then stepped back and yelled "Kol, Rebekah a slight change of plan. Be ready for the wolf attack during the ceremony"

"What?" Rebekah said in a loud voice and looked at Hayley who shrugged her shoulder and went to sit on the sofa with Hope in her lap and give her the milk bottle.

As they walked into the church Elijah spotted Jackson and a couple of men from his pack. HE said "excuse me" and went to them.

Jackson said as soon as he saw Elijah "Elijah my intel told me that there will be 20 members of Marshall's pack and they just want to raise a chaos in the French Quarter. We can contain them. What is going on here?" he looked at Hayley and Klaus

Elijah scanned the area and said casually "Hayley and Klaus are getting married today"

Jackson said in shock "what? Right now? There is this fight…"

Elijah said in the same calm voice "yes we know"

Elijah continued "Now you and your pack will take care of outside and we will do the inside if anything happens. We will help you as soon as the ceremony ends. Jackson, Klaus and Hayley are getting married today so let's do it right"

Jackson nodded.

He told the priest "we are in a bit of jam right now. We might be attacked during the ceremony so hurry up"

Father peter looked at them in shock and said "Klaus, attack in the church!"

"Father everything is under control. Please start the ceremony" Kol told the priest.

Father peter opened his mouth but stopped as he saw a couple of guys walking in the church. Kol followed his gaze and said "Okay the show starts" he rubs his hands and looked at Rebekah who handed Hope to Klaus and followed him after tearing her long dress from one side making a long slit at one side.

Elijah turned towards the door and said "You guys continue, we will handle this"

Klaus balanced Hope in his arm and said to Hayley "they are a little ahead of schedule but we can manage this right, love?"

"Yes we can" Hayley said to him as she saw Kol pulling out the heart of one of the guy.

She turned to father peter and said "can you start please?"

Father Peter blinked his eyes at the fight in the church and hastily said "If there is anyone to object…."

"No there is none father. Can we skip that part?" Klaus said impatiently as he glanced in the back and saw Elijah pulling hearts out of two men.

Father Peter flinched at the sight and continued quickly "DO you have your vows ready?"

Hayley held his left hand and looked into his eyes and said "Klaus when I first saw you at Tyler's house it was never in my wildest imagination that we will be standing here two years later. But here we are and what a journey it was to reach here…" she stopped as one of the guys approached them. Klaus gave Hope to her and jumped on him and sunk his teeth into his neck.

He stood up and walked to her, smiled and took Hope from her after cleaning his lips with the back of his hand and then gave her his left hand back. He smiled at her indicating her to continue. Hayley shook her head and said "here we are. I took some convincing for you to get here but I am glad that we are finally taking this step. I love you so much and I cannot imagine my life without you" and she slipped the ring into his left hand's third figure.

Klaus handed her Hope, held her left hand and looked into her eyes and said "Hayley I don't know when I fell for you and when I realized that I cannot live without you but ever since I have realized that I knew I had to have you. The past one year has been a wonderful time of my life. I have never been good with conveying my feelings so I am just going to say this I intend to be your last and I intend you to be my last".

He was about to slip the finger into her finger when someone held him by the back of his coat and pulled him away from Hayley.

Hayley handed Hope over to father Peter's arms and kicked the man in his groin at the speed of lightening and the pulled Klaus in the standing position. Klaus slipped the ring into her finger.

She took Hope from father Peter's arm as he said "By the power vested in me…."

Klaus said after glancing one look at his siblings "excuse me father"

He went over to Rebekah who was fighting with two at a time and third one was about to attack her from the back. He jabbed him from the back and pulled out his hand and threw it on the floor.

He then whooshed back to her while wiping the blood off his hands with his handkerchief and said "continue" to father peter who rolled his eyes and said "I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride"

Klaus leaned in but then spun around as he heard Kol scream and saw a stake sticking out of his chest. Hayley gasped. He looked at her and said "sorry love. Just wait right here. I will be back in a minute" as he saw Kol take it out of his chest.

He whooshed to the werewolf who had jabbed the stake in his heart and pulled the heart out of the werewolf and wiped his hand on the handkerchief Elijah handed him over while fighting with another werewolf and then he whooshed back and kissed Hayley hard on her lips. They both had their lips locked without a worry about the war brewing around them with Elijah, Kol, Marcel and Rebekah fighting with the remaining werewolves.
