Summary: What happens when Caroline can no longer deal with a pregnant Hayley prancing around? Has Klaus ever said no to anything Caroline has asked of him?
Today's Special
Sometimes you just have to throw on a crown and remind them who they're dealing with
~Unknown
Klaus smirked from the V.I.P. area of the club Caroline and Rebekah had bought for his party. "A wonderful party my dear." He complimented as he felt the blond creep up from behind him and wrap her arms around his waist.
Caroline buried her nose into his neck, her fang coming down and trailing across his neck. "Isn't it?"
The hybrid let out a chuckle, he savored the flavor of the blood mixed with bourbon before turning his amber gaze towards Caroline, "Now, what is your request?" He challenged.
The baby vampire's eyes trailed to someone on the side, before turning back to Klaus. "It is your birthday. It can wait." Caroline's tone suggested that she wasn't all too keen on waiting though.
Klaus set his glass down and pulled her close. Caroline let him, choosing to instead tread her fingers through his hair, well her other hand trailed down the back of his neck.
"Nonsense." Klaus said, tone chastising. "Even if you asked for half of my kingdom, it would be yours." he reminded her.
Kol chuckled from his seat, "Please. She could ask for all of it, just to burn it down to the ground for fun, and you'd happily hand her the keys."
His laughter was cut off by Bonnie pinching his side, "Ow, was the necessary sweetheart."
Rebekah nodded, "Shut it. I wanna see where this goes."
Caroline laughed, humming as she pressed her body against his. "If that's truly how you feel. If I have truly found favor in your eyes, my king, and pleases you. Take hers, and save me life!" Caroline demanded.
Klaus felt his wolf rise to the surface at the prospect of losing his mate. "Who would dare threaten my queen's life? Who is she? Where is she?!"
Caroline's eyes turned to the she-wolf sitting next to Elijah. They could all hear her human heart speed up in panic. "Hayley. I want her gone." Caroline said.
"Caroline." Elijah got up, but his protests were tuned out the second Klaus amber eyes met Caroline's tear filled ones.
"Silence." The king ordered, and gently cupped Caroline's face. "Is that what you truly want?" He asked, as if she was asking to put down a sick dog, and not the werewolf carrying his heir.
Caroline nodded, "I do not know how much longer I can bear the thought of her in our home. It's a constant reminder of the life I lost. I can not take it."
"And you won't have to take it, love." Klaus promised her, wiping her tears away.
Bonnie sighed, "It was never a matter of it, only when." She knew her best friend had always wanted children. And Hayley's pregnancy was not only a reminder of Klaus infidelity, despite the fact they were not together at the time. But also a constant reminder of the life her best friend could no longer have.
Caroline was the same innocent girl who had killed 12 witches to protect her. Nobody did things like that for Bonnie. No one but Caroline.
If Hayley's death would save her friend from suffering such pain for seven more months, then Bonnie wouldn't even bat an eye. She'd carry out the act herself if she needed to.
Hayley turned to Elijah, begging him with her eyes, but after Klaus' command, he had stayed silent. Realizing that there was truly nothing that he could do.
He wanted to help his brother's humanity return. He wanted to be a family again. At the end of the day. The only one capable of doing so would be Caroline. Not the baby.
She had only been here for two months, and yet all of his siblings were undaggered, Sage had been accepted into the family, Kol and Rebekah had found love, and were happy. Maybe one day His Katerina…
If there was any chance of that dream becoming a reality, it would be Caroline.
Hayley turned to Klaus, "Please. I'm carrying your child. You daughter! Doesn't that mean anything to you?"
"That does." Klaus admits, "But Caroline means more to me than an unborn child ever could. I should never have brought you here in the first place. I should have let you remain with the witches. Yet you continued to dishonor my Queen here in my house?"
Klaus turned to the stunning blond who was leaning against the railing, "My lovely queen, nothing nor anyone shall cause you sadness."
Caroline pursed her lips. She knew Klaus wanted the child. But could she truly bear the sight of Hayley, rounding with Klaus' child for months?
No.
No she couldn't.
Elijah, seeing her internal conflict. Saw a way he could have both. "Caroline. You won't need to live with Hayley for the following months. Lock her away until the child is born. Then, we can easily kill her. The child doesn't necessarily have to be Hayley's. You can be the one who nurses her, feeds her, takes care of her. You can watch her grow. You can be the one she calls mother. You can have everything you've ever wanted."
Caroline hummed, a small smile appearing on her face at the thought.
Klaus turned to her, waiting for her decision. Whatever she would choose, he will abide by.
"Lock her up. I don't want to see her until the baby is born." Caroline then turned to her best friend. "Bonnie, can you find a spell to ensure the baby will have none of Hayley's features."
The witch nodded, "I'll do one better. Give me some of your blood and I'll ensure she'll have some of your features. As for Hayley's DNA, I'll find a spell to remove it. If I can't, I'll create one. I promise Care."
Caroline smiled, "Thank you. All of you."
Seven months later, After three hours of labor, Haley's bruised and bloody body was carried in front of a stage for all of the supernatural population of New Orleans to witness.
The last thing Hayley saw before her head was cut off was Caroline in Klaus arms, her own arms gently cradling a newborn infant. She never saw the child, but she knew, Bonnie kept her promise and ensured Hayley gave Caroline an angelic baby girl with curly golden hair, and Caroline's bright blue-green eyes.
I've been wanting to write a darker Caroline fic. And this was the perfect opportunity. What do you guys think? A little too oc? Because I like to think there is a hint of darkness to Caroline. We saw how BAMF she could be when she flipped her switch. And I also like to think that Klaus is perfect to bring it out and show her; her full potential.
I changed the 'He', to a 'She'. Because it's been a while since I did some good old Hayley bashing.
I had to edit the prompt a bit to make it flow a little better. The setting of this was modern, so I really couldn't use words like 'Feast'. I hope you don't mind fantasylover4ever. The second version of the prompt we discussed (The regency AU one) will still be coming out whenever I get around to it. I'm probably gonna stick a lot closer to the prompt in that one. If there was something you didn't like here, talk to me about it. So the second one would be better. This was fun to write, so I'd be happy to hear some feedback to make the regency one better.
Anyways,
KLAROLINE FOR LIFE BECAUSE I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP!
