Synopsis: Klaus and Hayley continue to struggle to handle this sire bond. Hayley breaks the curse and Klaus manages to break the sire bond.

Klaus walked to her, kissed her to Kol's amusement who still has not gotten used to seeing his brother married and with child. He watched as his brother bend down to kiss Hope and say "I am sorry love, I got stuck with something really boring."

He took the book from Hayley's hand and settled down next to Hope and continued reading it for Hope.

Hayley kept glancing at him and realized how tired and frustrated he look. She said "let me set the dinner."

Kol got up too saying "let me help you" and followed her out whereas Klaus continued to read the book.

She looked up from setting the table as he walked in and asked "you okay?"

Klaus nodded and settled down for dinner.

After dinner Kol asked Klaus "Hey how was protection detail?"

Klaus remembered what Hayley had told him about and said "okay boring as they are."

Kol said "I need your take on a case if you are up for it."

Klaus nodded and headed to the study with Kol retreated to the study whereas Hayley went to living room and put on the tv. Her eyes were fixed on the tv but her mind was still lost thinking about the sire bond and Klaus and Finn.

After two hours she got up and went to her room.

She wrapped his arm around him as he got under the cover and asked "tell me what happened?" in a groggy voice.

He turned to her and said "I think I have figured out how this sire bond between him and me works."

Hayley asked now opening her eyes "how?"

When he was done telling her his theory she asked him "how are you going to break it then?"

Klaus caressed her face saying "I have to figure out how to stop being grateful to him about no transforming every full moon."

Hayley held his hand on her cheek and said with relief "Oh God at last some good news. We have the potion to break the curse and soon we will find out how to break this sire bond."

Klaus looked into her eyes and said in impulse "hey I was thinking may be we should go on our honeymoon this weekend. It is a long weekend and I can call Rebekah. She and Kol can babysit Hope.

Hayley nodded and then closed her eyes after kissing me and they both feel asleep.

During the ride to the station next day Klaus called Rebekah and told her about his plan. After he was done Rebekah said "yayy at last the honeymoon. I have been asking Hayley about it and she had been making poor excuses. I am glad you thought about it. I can come for that any day."

Friday night Hayley looked around at the honeymoon suite and asked "this is simple?!"

Klaus said "yes" smiling as he fell on the bed and said "oh god. A weekend without Finn or the mayhem. Just you." He pulled her towards him making her fall on him and said "this is going to be fun" as he teased her by sneaking his fingers under her shirt.

Hayley smiled and said "First turn off your cell so that he does not call us."

Klaus said "good point but right now I…" but Hayley said "let me unpack first and then you can have me."

She got up from over him laughing as he said "you are no fun." and started unpacking their bag while Klaus took his shoes off and sat on the bed and switched on the tv. After she was done unpacking she walked to him and asked "what are you watching?" as she settled down next to him.

He put his arm around her and said "nothing just browsing."

Hayley looked at him and said "you look tired."

Klaus said "if you mean that I am too tired to do this" sneaking his hand under her shirt and continued saying "then you are far off Mrs Mikaelson."

Hayley laughed and said "in that case I will be back in a minute."

Klaus said "come on Hayley. You are torturing your husband."

Hayley said "I am coming. Wait."

She looked at herself in the mirror, smoothed the nightie over her flat stomach, touched her breast wondering 'what will his reaction be seeing the red skin' and walked out. Klaus said "if you are not interested then we can…" he stopped talking as he looked at her and said "hmm I am way off about you not being interested."

Hayley smiled and walked to him saying "too much?"

Klaus got up and walked to her saying "of course not. You look exquisite and after all we are on our honeymoon."

He held her hand and twirled her scanning her in that black lace backless nightie reaching up to her ankles revealing her naked legs, torso, bra and underwear.

Hayley said "listen I wanted to tell you about the redding of my breast skin because of radiotherapy."

Klaus said "we knew it might happen."

Hayley said "yes but I wanted you to know before you actually see it."

Klaus asked "does it hurt?" as his hands went to her breast and gently touched it.

She shook her head touching his face.

Klaus smiled and said "then we dont have any issue" scanned her from head to toe again and asked "how long do you want to stay in this?"

Hayley took a sigh of relief laughed and said "that depends on you."

Klaus brought his lips close to her lips and said "well in that case not long but considering you went through all this trouble to get me excited, I will make this purchase worth the buy."

Hayley squirmed as she felt his hand move to her pelvis and touched it while his lips got locked with her lips. She felt his tongue part her lips while his fingers played with her pelvis over her underwear. She sucked on his lips and enjoyed his fingers but then felt the ground leave her feet and a moment later she felt her back on the bed. He continued to explore her mouth as his hands caressed her breast. Hayley moaned loudly as she returned his passionate kisses and grabbed his hips, pushed them to her as his hands squeezed her breast. She felt his need against her thighs and wrapped her left leg around his right leg. He at last broke the contact with her lips and caressed her slender body from breast to her thighs over her nightie and then generally rolled them over so that she was on top of him with his arms around her, hands roaming on her naked back and lips moving down her jawline to her neck while Hayley hand moved up and caressed his face and twined her fingers in his hair. She felt his hands dragging her nightie up slowly while his lips sucked on her neck and eventually he took it off leaving her just in her underwear. Hayley grabbed the edge of his shirt and pulled it off and enjoyed the contact of his naked torso against her naked torso. He kissed her slender shoulders pressing her body close to his and rolled them over again and helped her take his pants off as her hands went to his pajama. He slipped her underwear off caressing her legs. Hayley shivered under his touch and grabbed on to the pillow as his lips left trails of kisses from her thigh to her feet. As he reached back to her pelvis she grabbed her head and made him look at her and said "please."

As he started to the drawer she said "no, don't. You dont need to."

Klaus asked "are you sure?"

Hayley cupped his face and said "yes I am. It is safe."

Klaus parted her legs with his hands and while keeping eye contact he took her. He looked at her face, caressed her cheek, removed the strands of hair from her temple and kissed her.

Hayley gently grabbed him from his back and kissed him. Soon they were in perfect rhythm looking at each other, kissing, caressing and then Klaus said "i love you Hayley" and buried his lips in her neck and continued rocking against her as she kissed his shoulder and when they both climaxed at the same time she pants "I love you too." He looked up panting and grabbed her thigh and kissed her again.

He stayed there and continued to kiss her and then partially slid off of her and buried his face into her neck resting his head on her shoulder and with half of his body still on pinning her down he murmured "I am so glad we made this trip."

Hayley brought him close to him wrapping her arms around him and whispered while kissing his forehead "me too."

Klaus's fingers touched her shoulder and asked "cold?"

Hayley said "hmm" as she closed her eyes and then smiled as she felt the duvet being pulled over them. She smiled as his fingers toyed with her naked breast whereas he smiled as her fingers ideally caressed his back and they went to sleep in that position.

Hayley was deep in sleep when she suddenly felt soft lips on her breast. She slowly opened her eyes enjoying the feeling and said "I like this better then alarm you know."

Klaus smiled as he lifted himself on his hands and said "me too" and cradled her head, kissed her lips slightly biting the bottom lip while his left hand squeezed her right breast gently and then the moved his lips to her neck, down to her breast, swirled her breast with tongue making Hayley moan loudly and grab on to sheets as they went down and ended just short of her pelvis. He looked at her passion filled face and then continued kissing down to her feet. As he pulled himself to her face leave she said "my turn".

Klaus looked at her in confusion and then smiled as she rolled them over so that she was on top of him. She started kissing him like he was doing to her and for the first time he understood what she felt when he would pleasure her. As she kissed his navel he grabbed her form her shoulder, made her look at him and cupped her face and pulled himself up in a sitting position and wrapped her legs around his torso. He wrapped his arms around her back and positioned her and while kissing her he took her slowly making her moan. As they rocked against each other tiny drops of sweat started appearing on their bodies but they kept on rocking against each other while his lips kissing her shoulder and her lips kissing his shoulder. She suddenly yelled softly as he sped up and hit the most inner part of her. Klaus asked "you okay?"

Hayley panted "yes" as her hands tightened her grip around his torso and continue to move against him and bit her shoulder when he went in frenzy and then stilled as he came on just after her. He kept his face buried in her neck while she continued to hold him. For some reason he looked so vulnerable at that moment that she wanted to absorb all of his worries.

For the next two days they enjoyed room service, watching movies, making love and relaxing in general.

By the time they headed back home they felt totally unwound. As they entered the house, Hope came running to her jumping up and down saying "mommy, Kol uncle and Bekah aunty let me play on iPad."

Hayley laughed and picked her up saying "wow that must have been fun."

She lunged at Klaus and asked "what did you bring for me?"

Hayley's eyes widened with shock when Rebekah chipped in "a sibling perhaps."

Klaus and Hayley both said "Rebekah!" as he put Hope down.

Rebekah asked innocently "what?! you were on your honeymoon after all."

Hayley looked at her and said now turning red "oh god stop. She can understand now."

Rebekah said enjoying embarrassing her "well my niece deserves siblings. And I want to have another niece or nephew too. This one is growing up too fast" as she tickled Hope making her giggle.

Hayley looked at Klaus and said "well sorry to disappoint you. No news until I am cleared of this damn radiotherapy."

Rebekah said sounding disappointed "really?! why?"

Klaus said trying to sound casual even though his heart was racing as his mind asked 'what if she cannot because of you being a hybrid?' "Hayley cannot conceive during her treatment without risking the baby's health and we dont want to take the chance but once she is done then definitely."

Rebekah looked at Hayley and saw the smile falter from her face just for a second but then she recovered and said "so what did you guys do behind us?"

Rebekah felt her heart go for her and said "well Kol and I have discovered that never ever leave a child unattended with ketchup."

Hayley laughed and said "oh I should have warned you about that."

They turned towards the door when they heard Kol say "thanks for doing that by the way. By the way Nik, Finn Manning came for you a couple of times."

Klaus looked at Hayley and said "welcome to real world."

Hayley laughed and said "I will be back" and headed to her room.

She went to the bathroom and closed the door and stood facing the mirror as she pulled her shirt up and touched her stomach and sighed wondering 'will she ever get pregnant with Klaus being a hybrid and what if her cancer comes back, does she want to put another child through what Hope had gone through. What if she dies? what will happen to the kids?'

She startled as the door open and Klaus entered the bathroom. She let her shirt go and said "I was just.."

He walked to her and grabbed her hand and said "I know what you are thinking and I am sorry that you have to go through that because of me. Hayley I wish I could…"

She smiled and brought his hand to her lips and said "we can get through this as long as we are together right?"

Klaus kissed her hands and said "yes."

They spend the next two hours with Rebekah and Kol chatting about random stuff after putting Hope to bed.

Before they fell asleep that night Hayley asked him "have you said farewell to Rebekah? She will be leaving tomorrow afternoon."

Klaus said "yes I have."

Next morning as Klaus was leaving for the station he said to Hayley "hey I will be late today."

He went to the kitchen and took out the blood bag from the freezer and quickly took a gulp down, when he sensed her.

Hayley looked around making sure Kol was nowhere in sight and said "listen I have been thinking about Amber. She was really worried when she came to visit me. Do you suppose I should talk to her?"

Klaus said "no I dont want you to get too much attach to anything related to Finn. It is enough that he has gotten me to do his biddings" as he put the blood bag back and then drank a glass of water to mask the smell of the blood, kissed her and left for work.

Hayley stood there staring at the spot he was standing and then decided to talk to Amber. She turned around as she heard Hope say "mommy I want oatmeal today."

Hayley smiled and said "come."

As she was making oatmeal Rebekah came in and they started talking about things from her trip to what was happening back home about Esther, her studies and didnt realize an hour went by. Hayley looked towards Kol who had just opened the freezer to get something and wondered 'should they removed the blood bag from there? What if Kol finds out about it?'

She startled as Rebekah asked "hey why didnt you go to your radiotherapy today?"

Hayley said "Dr Dole is on vacation for two days and she wants to be there for my treatment."

Rebekah asked "how are you feeling?"

Hayley said "generally okay but sometimes I get tired."

Kol put his coffee cup in the sink and said "Bekah I will come to pick you up at 1. Be ready. I will be late Hayley" and left.

Rebekah said as soon as Kol left "I think I should start packing. I have to leave at 2 pm."

Hayley said "lets go. I will give you company."

For the next hour Hayley laid on Rebekah's bed listening to her talking about her plans to for rest of the summer.

She hugged her tight before leaving for the airport and promised to call every day and left.

Hayley stood there at the door looking at Rebekah leave and then came inside and took out her cell and dialed Marcel's cell. As the call connected she asked him "do you have Amber's number?"

Marcel said "yes I do. Why do you need it?"

Hayley said "just wanted to talk to her."

Marcel said after a moment of pause "504-234-1243. And Hayley you remember full moon is in almost two weeks?"

Hayley said "yes thanks for the reminder Marcel. Please don't let Finn find out about what I am about to do."

She debated for a moment and then called Amber's number. As soon as the call connected she said "hello. this is Hayley Amber."

Amber asked "where did you get this number from?"

Hayley said "Marcel. Listen I wanted to ask you how you are doing. You have to understand that Klaus had no choice. "

Amber said "I know. I know about the sire bond now. I feel bad for him but then again it is a good thing Finn spends so much time with him."

Hayley asked "how so?"

Amber said "Klaus is a good man Hayley. Spending time with him and seeing him with your daughter can have some influence on Finn. He has started to show some concern about the baby. I think it is because of Klaus and Hope's relationship."

Hayley said "really! I cannot believe it but if he is doing that then good."

Hayley hesitated and then asked "do you want to meet?"

Amber said "I cannot Hayley. Finn does not let me out of sight. Last time when I tried, he killed those vampires. I dont want anyone to die for me. Why don't you come to the compound?"

Hayley looked at Hope who walked to her and said "I cannot Amber. I cannot bring Hope to the compound. Listen I have to go. If ever you want to talk about something you can call me."

Amber said "I will and thanks for calling."

After putting the cell down she felt really calm and for some reason satisfied.

While Hayley was talking to Amber, Alexis and Klaus were questioning a perp in the investigation room.

Klaus closed the door of the investigation room behind him and said smiling "good job partner."

Alexis said "good to have you back. You have been so moody for the past few weeks. This vacation must have been really good."

Klaus laughed and headed towards the the squad room.

As he entered the squad room Ben said "Klaus I want to see you in my office."

For the next week Hayley noticed that Klaus was spending too much time in French Quarter and then she found out that he was not going to station too. She waited for him to talk to her about why he was not going to work but he never brought it up to her increasing frustration. On Thursday night she had had enough of this secret so she asked "where were you?" when Klaus entered the bedroom at 12 in the morning.

Klaus said "Finn has been asking me to do stuff for him."

Hayley said "what stuff Klaus? at the cost of your job Klaus."

When he looked at her she said "Alexis's called day before yesterday asking me how you are feeling now. Imagine my surprise that you are sick and I dont even know about it."

Klaus said "Finn wants me to be guard Amber. He has managed to convince Ben that I need a week off. I dont know how he did that."

Hayley stared at him as he lied down casually.

She asked "what? and you are okay with it?"

Klaus said "Hayley I am tired. I had a really long day. Can we talk about it in the morning?"

Hayley said in a raised voice now "no, we are not going to talk about it in the morning. I gave you time to talk to me about it but you didnt. I can see that you are not even trying Klaus. What happened? Are you liking it now?"

Klaus got up whooshed to her and grabbed her by her arm, shook her violently and asked angrily "you think I like to be in his control?"

Hayley stared at suddenly turned yellow eyes, veins appearing under his eyes and said trying to keep her voice calm as fear gripped her heart "seems like it."

Klaus suddenly realized that there were tears in her eyes. He saw terror on her face, the kind of terror that he had thought was left behind, way behind. His gaze went to his hands on her arm and he let her go while running his fingers through his hair. Hayley walked to him and put her hand on his back to soothe him but he turned towards her and said "leave me Hayley…" and stopped talking as his gaze went to her arm from where he was holding her and saw finger prints. He held her arm and asked in shock "oh God Hayley, did I do that?"

Hayley looked at her arm and said "yes but I am fine."

Klaus stared at her and then stormed out of the bedroom while she stood there feeling frustrated at what was happening between them.

When she woke up he was gone. She stayed in the bed holding her head wondering how to solve this new issue. At last she got up, changed and went to Hope's room to check on her but luckily she was still asleep. As she entered the kitchen she saw Kol making coffee.

Kol turned towards her and asked "hey you okay? You are looking very pale."

Hayley said "yeah I couldn't sleep last night. When did Klaus leave?"

Kol said taking a sip from his coffee "I dont know. I woke up and he was gone. You want me to stay with Hope today if you are not feeling well."

Hayley said "no. I am fine. I missed my appointment too. That means he left before that."

Kol said "maybe" and left for work too.

She didnt get any call from him all day and knew he was still upset about what happened between them last night so at last she dialed his number but he didnt pick it up. She wondered if he is ignoring her or busy. She decided to give him benefit of doubt that he might be busy and got busy with her work.

Around noon, she got a call on the cell. She smiled as she thought it was Klaus but when she saw Alexis name on the caller Id her heart sank and she said "hello" preparing herself for the worst.

She stood up slowly as she heard Alexis confused voice "Hayley what happened?"

Hayley asked in confusion "what do you mean?"

Alexis continued in the same tone "Klaus resigned! But why?"

Hayley said alarmed now "what? when? I don't know. He left early in the morning. He didnt tell me…" and then she remembered him talking about not being able to do the job a few days ago. She said "I have been trying to get a hold of him since morning. Where is he?"

There was a pause during which Hayley felt as if the earth has stopped spinning around its axis and then she heard her say "he never came to the station Hayley."

Hayley said "what?!" having a sinking feeling in her stomach.

She said "Alexis I will call you back."

And went to her room. She looked around and then headed to Hope's room said "Hope sweetie come."

Thirty minutes later she entered the compound steaming in anger and shouted "Finn you son of a bitch where are you?"

Amber was sitting in her room thinking of Finn's behavior towards her when she heard Hayley's voice. She walked out and saw her standing in the courtyard with Hope. She walked down hastily at the same time saw Finn leaving her room.

Hayley asked "where is he?"

Amber looked at Hayley in confusion but Finn answered "I dont know. Your husband? have you lost him?"

Hayley walked to him and slapped him on his face and said "if I find out that you have something to do with it, I will kill you myself."

As she turned to leave he held her arm and asked grinding his teeth "what happened?"

Hayley said in the same tone joined by panic now "he is missing. That is what happened! He never went to the station and never called me."

Finn stared at her and realized that she was panicking now and said "I will find out what is going on but in the mean time…." his gaze went to Hope clinging to Hayley's legs and continued "you are scaring your child. Get a grip on yourself."

Hayley looked at Hope and realized that he was right whereas Amber said "Finn, show some compassion and if you have something… " but stopped talking as Finn turned to her with murderous glance.

Hayley suddenly felt drained of energy as the worst thoughts started to come to her mind and she felt dizzy but before she fell down Finn was holding her arm to prevent her from falling. She hissed "let go of me. I dont need you help. If you want to do anything find out where my husband is."

Amber walked to her and said "listen why don't you sit. I am sure he is fine. He will call you and you will see it is okay."

Hayley looked at Finn with contempt and then at Amber and left.

By next morning she was in full panic mode so Kol called Elijah and told him about everything that had happened. Elijah took the redeye and came to New Orleans. Kol wanted to involve the department but Elijah and Hayley put their foot down saying "they should wait for at least one more day" as they both knew the risk of someone finding out about him.

Two days after he disappeared Hayley put Hope in bed and came out to living room and said "I am calling Alexis in the morning Elijah."

Elijah nodded but before he could say anything else he noticed something pass over her face and she ran to the kitchen leaving him bewildered. He followed her and saw her standing in front of freezer.

She opened the freezer and after a while said "it is gone."

Elijah asked "what Hayley?"

Hayley said panicking again "the blood bag Elijah. It is gone. Klaus left on his own but why?" her heart sank and she wondered if it was because of their fight but then answered herself he wouldnt leave just because of that argument.

Elijah looked at her and said "no Niklaus wouldnt abandon his family Hayley. May be he removed it and put it somewhere incase Kol not find out."

Kol who had followed them to the kitchen looked at them in confusion and asked "what?"

Hayley said "no he wouldnt. Kol has been with us for two weeks now Elijah and I know it was right there. We had a row over Finn. You dont suppose he will leave because of that right?"

Elijah said "no Hayley. What do you meant you had a row about Finn?"

Hayley said exasperated now "the sire bond. Klaus was not trying to break it."

Elijah said "may be he has gone to break it Hayley."

Hayley said desperately "no he would have told me if he had gone for that. He left us Elijah."

She went to her room whereas Kol said to Elijah rather aggressively "you tell me right now what is going on Elijah and everything. I know by now that you guys are hiding something from me. Why have you not called police yet? He is your brother for god sake."

Elijah took a deep breath and then except the real relationship between Hope and Klaus he told Kol everything including who Klaus was now, who Hayley is, about the curse on her pack. By the time he ended telling him everything he was proud of the way how Kol took everything in stride.

During the next few days she tried to cope with things. To her surprise Amber visited her a few times and glad that Finn never contacted her for anything. She was surprised to find out from Amber that he was looking into Klaus's disappearance. Elijah, Kol and her had come to an agreement about not involving Klaus now that they all were on the same page. They had told Alexis what they were suspecting and she had promised that she will look into it without letting anyone know.

Rebekah had come to visit in light of everything going on which was a relief to Hayley because her radiotherapy was still going on and she needed someone to drive her home after that because she was getting weaker and weaker by the day. At first she was annoyed at her siblings for not filing a report but then Elijah convinced her that they have hired a private investigator to look into it and that Alexis was looking into it. Elijah left with Rebekah as she has college with the promise that he will come back next week. Even with Kol being with her at all times, Hayley felt like she was losing her mind with each passing day. She often wondered what would have happened if Hope were not there to keep mind occupied. Hope asked about Klaus a lot so Hayley told her that he was on some course.

One day she was looking through walking closet when she saw the potion and she remembered the full moon over the weekend. Seeing the potion and remembering what she wanted to do for her pack somehow lifted her spirit and she started to look forward to full moon.

On full moon she went with Kol to the bayou and helped her pack break the curse. The satisfaction she felt when the curse broke on the full moon made up for some of the heart ache she had been feeling for the past one and half week. Before she knew another went by and he never called her or attended her calls. Night time were difficult. She could feel his hands and lips all over her body and his soothing voice calming her down, reassuring her of their safe future but he was not there and she had no idea where he was.

Five days later after breaking the curse on her pack, she decided to visit them. After changing Hope, she went to change too. As she came out of her room, she heard the bell ring on the front door. Wondering who could it be she went to open the door.

Hayley opened the door and asked "who are you?"

The man smiled and said "I am here to meet detective Mikaleson."

Hayley asked him "what do you need from him?"

Then man said "an old score to settle."

Hayley felt weird but before she could say anything she heard her cell ring. She said "excuse me" and picked up her cell.

As she picked up the cell Alexis said "Hayley an asshole whom Klaus and I put in jail got out today on a technicality. He is in a very vindictive mood. Ben wanted me to let you know. We will get you some protection detail. Just be careful. His name is…."

Hayley looked back at the man smiling at her and said to Alexis cutting her off in the mid sentence "you should come."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, the man snatched the phone from her hand and threw it on the floor.

At the same moment Hope entered the living room asking "mommy can I watch TV?"

Hayley felt a drop in her stomach as she saw his eyes dart to Hope. She said "Hope go to your room."

He took a step towards Hope but Hayley said "no" and pushed him back. the man grabbed her arm and pushed her on the carpet. She saw Hope run towards her room and tripped the man with her leg as he headed towards him.

She could hear Alexis voice form the cell phone which was apparently still connected "Hayley hold on, I am coming."

The man gave her a murderous look and said "doesn't matter. Let me take care of you first."

He grabbed Hayley from her hair as she stood up and pushed her on the sofa. He fell on her and held her hand as she tried to scratch him in his eyes and took the other hand to her jeans buttons.

As she felt his hand on her jean button, she panicked as images started to play in her mind and she grabbed the lamp and smashed on his head as the door opened at that instance and Alexis ran in. She darted to Hayley and asked "hey you okay?"

Hayley got up, pulled her shirt down and panted "have I killed him? as she saw the blood.

Alexis looked at her and then bend on the man and after a moment said "yes Hayley, I am sorry but he is dead. It was self defense."

She turned to Hayley just in time to see her run in bathroom.

Alexis went after her and saw her throwing up and said "hey you are shaking! come sit." She took off of her jacket and put on Hayley and said soothingly "it is normal. It was self defense Hayley. You are fine."

Hayley looked at Alexis in trance and the words came out "I triggered my gene Alexis."

Alexis thought that she didnt hear her right and asked "what?"

Hayley said "I triggered my gene. Oh god. Where is Klaus?"

Alexis said after a moment of silence and in a firm tone "hey control yourself. Police will be coming in a minute. You cannot keep on babbling about it. I will call someone for you. Whom do you want me to call?"

Hayley said desperately "Klaus"

She looked at him and said exasperated "Hayley!"

Hayley said desperately "Kol then."

Alexis took her cell from her and dialed Kol's number.

She suddenly remembered Hope and gasped "Hope!"

She ran towards her room and saw her hiding under the bed crying softly. She crouched down and pulled her out and hugged her tight.

She was sitting on her bed when she heard Kol's panicked voice "Hayley!" and a moment later he appeared at Hope's bedroom door.

He walked to her and asked "hey you okay?"

She shook her head, rocking Hope against her and the tears started to fall.

He hugged both of them and said "listen everything will be okay. You stay here. I will handle this."

As he walked out Hayley suddenly felt too overwhelmed of having someone who was there for her and was taking care of things.

After half an hour Kol walked in again and knelt near her saying "Hayley you are fine. Elijah is on the way."

Hayley looked at him with blurry eyes and before she could stop herself words were out "Kol I triggered my gene."

Kol held her hand and said soothing her "I know. It is okay. The curse is broken. You are fine."

Later that night Elijah arrived. She felt as if it was all a movie playing around her. Alexis had just come after settling Hope down in her bed and was trying to talk to her but Hayley was still in daze and for the first time she really got mad a Klaus for not being there for her and Hope when they needed him. She looked at Elijah and Kol who were standing in the corner whispering to each other.

Elijah looked at her as he was talking to Kol and smiled encouragingly but her face was all blank and then he saw her get up abruptly and say "I cannot live here now."

Elijah walked to her and said "Hayley!" but Hayley said adamantly "no I cannot. Elijah I am a wolf now. I will turn every full moon. Klaus is not here to help me with my transformation. I dont know where he is and when and if he will come back or not. I cannot live in his house infinitely."

Elijah said fiercely "this is your house Hayley. You are his wife. You are a Mikaelson. NIklaus put this house in your name and you know it. You deserve to live in it and he will come back. He will never abandon his family Hayley."

Hayley shook her head and said "I cannot. I cannot" and went to her room leaving Alexis, Kol and Elijah looking at each other helplessly.

After putting her and Hope's stuff in a bag, she sat on his side of the bed and stared into the empty space thinking about the mess her life has suddenly gotten. She patted his pillow in depression and was getting up when she noticed a white piece of paper caught in between the bed and the side table. She took it out and started reading it.

"Hayley, I am leaving. I cannot face you after last night. You dont know but I was about to hit you last night.I dont know what will happen if I lose control again. I cannot stay in the same town as Finn until I break this sire bond. I will come back after I break this damn sire bond. I love you and Hope.

Klaus"

She stared at the words confirming Elijah's suspicion. She read the note again and then said to herself "so he has gone to break the sire bone! But when will he come back? How long will it take for him to break the sire bond. what if it takes years? Should she stay here but how can she, she is a wolf now. She should be near someone who understands what she is and what best place to go other then bayou." At last she folded the note, feeling a bit better that he had not abandoned them. She put it in his drawer and fell on the bed. She woke up early in the morning, packed her remaining stuff and with resolve left her room.

She moved to the bayou with Eve that day not listening to a thing Elijah or Kol said and not telling them about the note thinking that it wouldnt make a difference to her resolve. As the days went by she started to lose hope that he will come back. Every day she fell asleep crying thinking about him and where he was and then after a few days she deliberately stopped thinking about Klaus to avoid the heartache she would get whenever she thought about him. Hope asked her about Klaus at lot to which she had no answer to so after a few days she stopped asking about him. A week after she moved there, she got a visitor who took her by surprise. She looked at him coldly and said "I dont want to talk to you Finn. Get the hell away from me."

She turned and left him standing there not noticing that he was looking at Hope.

She continued to have her radiotherapy unsure if her being a wolf will cure her cancer or not. but did notice that redness on her skin after those session was healing now. So one day she contacted Marcel and asked him "My burns are healing up and someone will notice sooner or later so what should Ido?"

Marcel said "I will take care of it. Dont worry."

Next day when she was leaving the hospital when she saw Finn geting in his car. She walked to him and asked angrily"what are you doing here?"

He said coldly "nothing. Came to meet someone."

Next day when the nurse didnt show any reaction to her cured skin an image of Finn getting in the car flashed through her mind and she wondered 'did he compel the nurse?'

And then she remembered him curing Hope too and she smiled and felt something for him for the fist time of ever knowing him immediately replaced by the though that it was him that drove Klaus away from her. She cursed herself for thinking about him and went to her car to go back to Hope in the bayou.

On a sunny day a month later as she was waiting for Kol to come pick up Hope, she looked at Hope smiling and playing with other kids in the bayou and felt satisfied and confident that she will be able to make a good life for herself and Hope as she recalled what she had been through since Klaus had left. She thought of first painful transformation, Rebekah and Elijah visiting New Orleans couple of times and visiting her in the bayou trying to convince her to come back home, when Rebekah had told her that Esther had at last started to warm up to Hope and she realized that she didnt care any more because the person for whom she wanted to patch up the relationship with Esther was gone from her life. She had tried to alienate herself and Hope from Mikealson as they were constant reminder of Klaus but she realized that Mikaelson were very adamant when it came to family. She smiled as she recalled Elijah "always and forever." She remembered Elijah's optimism when she told him about the note Klaus had left for them. She thought of times she had talked to Amber and her telling that Finn was still looking for Klaus which would soften her heart for him for a few moments but then she would harden it again after reminding herself what she has lost because of him. She looked around to shake Klaus's memory out of her mind and smiled as she saw Kol coming towards her and Hope running in his arms like all the visits of him to the bayou. He picked her up and asks "ready for the outing munchkin?"

Hayley said "yes she is all ready. Don't be late Kol. Last time you guys came very late."

Kol said mischievously "well how could I resist this angelic face begging me for half an hour."

Hayley said "you guys are incorrigible you know. You are spoiling her rotten" and headed towards huts whereas Kol took Hope to his car.

As he entered the house Rebekah looked at him and shouted "where the hell were you? We called you so many times."

Klaus looked at Rebekah and said "what happened Rebekah? I left a note for Hayley telling her that … " he stopped as he realized Rebekah didnt know anything about him being a hybrid. He looked around and couldnt sense or smell her so he asked "where is she? Where is Hope?"

Rebekah said with annoyance "she is at her radiotherapy and Hope is with Eve."

Klaus asked in confusion "why with Eve?"

Rebekah said in the same tone "because you ass she thought you left them and after she triggered her gene she moved with her pack. I asked you where were you?"

Klaus stared at her and asked "she triggered her gene?! when? How? What happened to the curse on her pack?"

Before Rebekah could answer he heard Kol say "two weeks after you left Nik. She was attacked at the house by some guy you and Alexis had put behind the bars but he got away on some technicality. It was self-defense. As for the curse she broke it."

Klaus said hastily "I am going to the hospital" and ran out.

Even though she was healed from the burn on the skin she was feeling really drained after the radiotherapy session so the doctor had asked her to rest for a while before leaving for home. She thought about calling Rebekah to pick her up from the hospital as she realized that she wouldnt be able to drive back to the bayou. She closed her eyes and thought of Hope and wondered what she must be doing with Eve. She started thinking of Klaus and where he would be right now. She wondered would she forgive him if he comes back right now and realized that she would and that just broke her heart. Suddenly she felt lonely and for the first time after their marriage she cursed Klaus for coming into her life and said bitterly to herself "go to hell Klaus. I should never have believed in you" and turned to one side with tears getting absorbed in the pillow. She startled as she felt finger tips on her cheeks and some one holding her hand. At first she thought she was imagining it but then those fingers lingered on and she opened her eyes knowing well to whom those hands belonged to.

He lifted her hand to his lips and gently kissed it and said "I promised I will not leave you in sickness and health. I went to get myself unsired and you thought I left you!"

She snatched her hand from his hand, wiped her tears but they continued to fall. She said angrily "you left Klaus. You left and I didnt know when you will come back. What would I have thought under those circumstances?"

Klaus looked at her tear stained face and said "I am sorry Hayley. I should have called but there was no phone service available in Appalachians. How could you think that I will leave you Hayley."

Hayley said "I will never forgive you for what you have put me and Hope through this last month Klaus."

Klaus held her hand again and said "yes you will because you love me and I love you. I still cannot believe that you thought I left you! Do you not remember how many obstacles our relationship has survived Hayley? Haven't I proven you that I love you and care about you? How many times do I have to tell you for you to believe me?"

Hayley looked into his sincere eyes and at last gave him a weepy smile and said "one more time."

He laughed and said "I love you" as he leaned in and kissed her lips gently.

She said "we have so much to talk about."

Klaus said "Yes we do. you have no idea how much I wanted to get back to you but I couldn't come back to you until I got myself unsired."

Hayley lifted herself up in the sitting position with his help and asked "and have you?"

Klaus said smiling broadly "I am here, aren't I?"

Hayley asked "how?"

Klaus said "by turning wolf again and again until it was not painful anymore and now I have nothing to be grateful to Finn about."

Hayley asked "you mean to tell me that you broke your bones multiple times to turn to a wolf? That must have been painful!"

Klaus said caressing her fingers "you have no idea but anything for you and Hope."

Hayley kissed him and said "you broke the sire bond and I broke the curse but I am a wolf now. What will happen now?"

Klaus said "And I am so proud of you for doing that. Every thing will be okay as long as we are together in this."

He leaned in and kissed her and said "now that I am back and never intend to make this blunder again you need to come back to me."

When she didn't answer he said "or I will move to bayou."

Hayley laughed and said "you can never spend a night in the bayou."

Klaus asked smiling "are you challenging me?"

Hayley looked at his smiling face and said "oh God I missed you so much. I am so happy you are back."

Klaus said "me too. Lets go get Hope and head home."

Hayley nodded and got off the bed.

Thirty minutes later Klaus parked the car in the bayou and got out with her.

He held her hand and walked towards some kids playing at a distance and spotted her. He said "Hope."

Hope looked around and spotted Klaus standing with Hayley.

A smile broke her lips and she ran to him excitedly saying "daddy" and jumped into his arms. Klaus lifted her in the air sending her in fits of giggles and then brought her close to him, hugged her tight and then wrapped his left arm around Hayley and brought all of them in a a group hug and asked "ready to go home?"

Hope said excitedly "yes."

Twenty minutes later Hayley packed up her and Hope's stuff and they were heading back to their house.
