Okay, this is the last part of this one shot and I am going to include Elijah in it too to make it even better for the Klayley drama going on right now. Jackson sort of tattletaled in the last part to Hayley about what Klaus did and she is not going to like that.

This part is going to have some moments between Hayley and Elijah, Hayley and Jackson and then we finally move on to the great pairing, Hayley and Klaus ;) Enjoy the last part!

Elijah picked up his new shirt and put it on, covering his scars, adding the suit later. The door banged open and Hayley walked in. Elijah couldn't help but look annoyed, whispering, "Ill manners, don't you think?" "Sorry." Hayley whispered, knowing how much Elijah liked his privacy and wanted respect for that. "How are you feeling?" Hayley asked him after a couple of moments of silence. Elijah sighed and put on some clean shoes, finally deciding to freshen himself up in the bathroom. Hayley followed him there and he finally got the message that she wanted an answer and she was not leaving without one.

"I know that it may not occur to you, Hayley, but I happen to be very tired after the spell that Mother had placed on me. I would like to be left alone with my thoughts." Hayley ignored his remark and crossed her hands over her chest as Elijah started washing up. "Listen, you have missed out on a lot as you've been gone and I simply want to fill you in. I didn't think that it was that big of a problem." "Fill me in on what exactly?" "On the situation with Klaus' father." Elijah stopped the water running and turned around, facing her with a confused expression on his face. "His father? His real father?" Hayley nodded. "Apparently, Esther had brought him back to life in order to talk some sense into Klaus and make him want to be turned into a human again." Elijah nodded. "So I was not the only one she was playing tricks on?" "What did she do to you?" she asked him. "She used nightmares to frighten me." "Frighten you? What can she possibly do to scare you? It's practically impossible."

"Moving on to this delicate subject…I would like to know the details of this miraculous appearance of Niklaus' father." Elijah whispered and started arranging his tie. Hayley went over to him and said, "I knew him. Jackson had spent a lot of time with him as he was living estranged in the bayou. His name was Ansel and he was the werewolf chief of the Northern Atlantics over 1000 years ago." "Has Niklaus met him?" "Yes, he has. And I have just received word from him that he had killed him." Elijah's eyes showed nothing but shock. "How can that happen? Niklaus wouldn't kill the father that he had wanted to spend time with for centuries." "Apparently he can. And he did. And he…is suffering." "Then perhaps you should speak to him." "I was hoping you would be the one to do that. You're his brother, Elijah." "But I cannot possibly find the proper words to help him with this grief. You on the other hand, Hayley, have a connection with him which I will never be able to understand. You will know what to say."

He believed that their discussion was over but Hayley wouldn't let him leave the bathroom. "Is this how we are going to act from now on, Elijah? We are going to be strangers, just because we can't seem to work out our relationship any longer?" "I understand that this must be difficult for you, Hayley. The hybrid transition, I mean. You and I both know that you are no longer the pregnant girl carrying my brother's child. You are no longer the woman that I was keen to explore at the beginning." "What is that supposed to mean?" Hayley asked with a frown on her face. Elijah sighed and placed a hand on her shoulder. "It means that perhaps we were never destined to be together. You know that as well as I do." They looked at each other with understanding before Hayley's phone started ringing and she checked her message. "It's Jackson. He wants to meet up with me in the bayou. I'll see you later, Elijah." Elijah nodded and let her go. He was extremely curious of why Esther believed that bringing back Klaus' real father would change his mind and make him want to renounce his vampire side. "Niklaus! I wish to speak to you!" Elijah called out. In a couple of minutes, Klaus stormed inside and whispered, "What do you want? I happen to be quite busy at the moment." Elijah didn't say anything for one moment and Klaus asked at once, "Where is Hayley?" "She has gone off to meet Jackson in the bayou."

That thought had Klaus raging mad in minutes. "Why is she listening to him? What is she hoping to find out?" He growled and threw a chair against the wall. Elijah was calmly watching him. "What exactly seems to be the problem here, Niklaus? Is it the bare thought of Hayley finding something out about your past or is it the moments Hayley spends with Jackson alone?" "Stop playing with my mind, brother. That is not the reason why I rescued you from our mother. You should be thanking me for that." Elijah nodded. "Yes, I have to thank you for that and I greatly appreciate your effort in trying to find me." "You don't have to worry. Hayley had put in a great effort to find you as well." Klaus replied bitterly. "Something bothering you?" "As if you don't know! I can imagine Hayley has already told you." "Yes, she has…and I want to help you through this, Niklaus, but I can't. No matter what I do, I can't seem to reach you. But she can. You must go to her…and ask for her to listen to you." Klaus couldn't believe the words coming out of Elijah's mouth. "Who are you talking about?" "Hayley, of course." Elijah responded.

Hayley strutted through the bayou with her phone in her hand as she noticed Jackson still standing near the cabin, watching the river. "It has been so long since I last found peace with myself. Now that Ansel is dead and so is Oli, I don't know what I am supposed to do." He told her and she nodded. "Jack, I can understand your grief. I have been grieving since I lost my child too. But you can't just go around and blame Klaus for everything bad that happens around here." "He's the only one to blame, Hayley. Can't just see that whenever something bad happens, somehow he is involved? I don't understand why you keep protecting him." "Well, somebody has to, don't you think?" "And what happens next? What are we going to do now? I lost two good friends. I have no one. There is always someone to blame." "Jackson, you still have me. I am your friend and I promise you that everything is going to be okay. You have to trust me on that." Jackson shook his head and picked up a bottle of scotch. "Nothing is ever going to be the same. We are doomed for eternity." He whispered and ran a hand through his hair.

Tired of his tantrums, Hayley stepped forward and grabbed the bottle from him. "You shouldn't drink so much. It's not good for you." She whispered to him. He just shook his head and said, "You still can't tell me why you keep protecting Klaus now, can you?" "I am protecting him because I care for him and his condition! What he did was to sacrifice the life of his father for a very good reason." "Is that what he told you? What reason is that? Has he said anything about a reason?" Hayley sighed and whispered, "Just leave this to me and leave Klaus alone. I can manage him and if I get any information from him, I will tell you. You don't have to worry about that." "Nah, I don't think you will. If it is anything important for him, you will keep his secret for some reason. I can't seem to figure you out." "You don't have to. You should get in line behind Elijah. Both of you telling me that I am complicated and different now and you just can't seem to figure me out. Well, here I am! Hybrid all the way! Take me or leave me the hell alone." Jackson's face had softened at that moment. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings like this." Hayley nodded, stepped over to him and pulled him in a tight hug, whispering in his ear, "I really hope that was the scotch doing all the talking."

"I see you're getting comfortable!" A voice called out from the distance and Hayley pulled back from Jackson, now facing Klaus with determination written all over her face. "Klaus, after the show you put here today, you shouldn't be here right now." She went over and pulled on his arm. "Come! We're going home. We need to talk." "Talk?" Klaus asked in a whisper as they started walking away through the bayou. "Yes. Talk. It's something natural for humans, werewolves, witches, vampires and even hybrids. Talking does miracles, trust me." Klaus sighed and shook his head. "There is nothing left to say. I did what I had to do." "For Hope?" "You already know the answer to that. Stop making me feel more guilty than I already am." Klaus responded and started walking faster, only to have Hayley pull him back by his arm and drag him back to her stubbornly. "I have problems too! Tell me yours and I can help you!" She thought a lot about what Elijah had told her, "But I cannot possibly find the proper words to help him with this grief. You on the other hand, Hayley, have a connection with him which I will never be able to understand. You will know what to say." She knew she could find the right words.

Klaus stood there and felt the grip on his arm which determined that she was offering to help him. He smiled a little as he remembered Elijah's words to him from earlier, "Something bothering you?" "As if you don't know! I can imagine Hayley has already told you." "Yes, she has…and I want to help you through this, Niklaus, but I can't. No matter what I do, I can't seem to reach you. But she can. You must go to her…and ask for her to listen to you." Klaus couldn't believe the words coming out of Elijah's mouth. "Who are you talking about?" "Hayley, of course." Elijah responded. Klaus turned back to Hayley and whispered, "I know that we probably have a lot of things that we should be worrying about right now, love…but I do wish for you to hear me out, so why don't we do it over a bottle of scotch?" he asked her with a slight smirk on his face at the mention of the drink that had gotten her in this whole mess. Hayley was not going to forget that it was that drink that changed her life forever. She thought hard about it and imagined what she should be doing. Drinking with Klaus once again was probably a bad idea, but she knew he needed this and she kind of needed a drink as well. "Okay." She responded.

They finished their little journey from the bayou to Rousseau's in seconds and were ready for the first round. Klaus pulled up to chairs to the counter and he and Hayley sat down together. Hayley barely touched her drink, but Klaus couldn't wait to divulge in the alcohol. Hayley gently sipped her drink and whispered, "I don't think that this is such a good idea." "I find it a fantastic idea, love. I haven't had a good drinking buddy in centuries. I am glad that you have decided to join me." Hayley put down his drink and looked at him directly in the eyes. "Klaus, we came here to relax so you can tell me the whole story." "I already told you everything that you wanted to know." "Then why am I still feeling confused?" "Probably due to the poison of lies that Jackson has been pouring into your ear." "It's natural for him to react this way. You assaulted him." "And yet, you're still standing by me. Rebekah was the only one who would do that…but she is my sister. You are not obliged to do this, Hayley so why do you do it?" "Because you're my child's father and I care about you." The minute he had heard her sweet words, there was something that had erupted inside of Klaus' mind, something warm that felt in his heart. He had no idea that Hayley saying she cared for him would mean this much to him at all. Hayley put her hand on his and whispered, "You killed Ansel for Hope. I appreciate you for that. Because it shows how much you love your daughter. It shows how far you are willing to go to protect her."

"But I killed my own father. You would never be okay with something like this." "I said that it's for a good cause and I am capable of understanding that, Klaus. I am not some of those girls that you used to hang around with. Those girls who criticize you for every little thing that you did wrong. This is me you're talking to. There is nothing wrong with making mistakes. But I don't see this as a mistake. I see this as way for you to let go of the past, letting go of the father that you have always wanted to know but never got the chance until now when it is too late…and welcome the future with open arms. Hope is your future and mine as well." Klaus couldn't keep his eyes off of her and her words. She was truly amazing to him, amazing beyond words. He reached out and cupped her cheek, surprising her. Then he gently rubbed his thumb over her cheekbone and whispered, "Thank you, little wolf. For everything." She smiled slightly and whispered, "Anytime."

A/N: That's the end of it. Just a small tribute of how I wanted something like this to happen between Klaus and Hayley when he would have a mental breakdown for killing Ansel and Hayley would be right there, taking care of him. Hope you liked this!
