Waking up from his sleep, klaus felt more alive than he did yesterday. Looking around he saw no sign of Hayley. So he pulled his legs of the bed and set his feet on the floor, pausing for a moment, to gain some strength in his legs. Pushing upwards, klaus stood tall and wobbly, still recovering from his recently previous condition. Dragging himself around the cabin, he looked in every room for Hayley, but the brunette wasn't there, walking down the stairs, he stopped when he reached the bottom. The noise of the doorknob being twisted creaked from the entrance, and then a sudden burst of light emerged from it. Wincing at the light, he readjusted his eyes, and squinted at the door, standing there was the beautiful brunette he has been looking for, and standing in front of her was a smaller version on the brunette, Hayley's brown hair, although his bright blue eyes. Hope.

"Daddy!"

The newly recovered blonde man froze, his bright blue eyes widening out of shock. Her voice, the first word he's ever heard her say, and it's him, her father.

...

Only hours ago, he had been broke out of the wall -he'd been encased in- by the one and only Hayley Marshall, after years of suffering inside the same 4 brick walls, he has finally been set free.

As it turned out, Hayley had been the one to break him out, she carefully broke and ripped and smashed bricks to get to him, to save him. She hauled his arm over her shoulder to keep him up and bit into her wrist, then shoved the wounded flesh near his mouth. In which klaus gladly took, but cut himself off when he had enough energy to limp to the car.

Hayley drove them to a small bayou just outside of New Orleans, where a pack of wolves were currently sitting around a campfire and laughing, enjoying life. But these weren't any wolves, they were his, the North East Atlantic's pack, as Hayley pulled him out of the car, he managed to swipe a few looks at who was sat outside, and recognised some faces from when he and Hayley had taken cans of food to the church when she was pregnant.

Helping to hold him up with her strength, Hayley pulled him towards a dark cabin, once inside, she Laid him on the small bed and lit a decent amount of candles, to give the home a glow so you were able to see.

After feeding klaus blood and taking care of the wounds he has procured, Hayley sat on the edge of the bed, like a parent would while taking the temperature of a sick child, and whispered

"it's been a seriously long day, I'll explain everything soon, I promise, just get some rest, you'll need it."
Hayley smiled at him with that beautiful smirk klaus remembered so vividly.

Placing her hand on top of his carefully, she caressed the top of his hand with her thumb, before pulling away and standing up, but as soon as she could move, her hand has been pulled on by the man in the bed. Turning back round to look at the blonde she whispered "what?" In which he replied with concern on his face, and a little touch of sadness.

"Where hope?" Smiling at the question, Hayley sighed and pulled her hand away from klaus and walked to the window. "You see that other cabin over there.?" Lifting his head slightly, he caught sight of the cabin, and nodded. "She right over there, she's sleeping, I asked Cary to look after her for the day." Cary? She would trust him with our daughter? Well, she's probably known him for years now, and gotten chance to know him.
Nodding, klaus sighed and shut his eyes, and dreamt peacefully for the first time in years about himself, Hayley and hope.

...

Completely ignoring the look on her fathers face, his daughter, his daughter, ran at her fastest from her mother and across the room with the biggest smile possible on her face and slammed into his chest and immediately wrapped her small olive skinned arms around his neck and pulled him in to their very first hug. Reciprocating her actions, klaus knelt down and wrapped his arms around her. One hand on the back of her neck, holding her against him, so he knew she wasn't just a dream and that he was really, hugging the ultimate love of his life.

Pulling back slightly, to look at her face, klaus stared in awe at how much she looked like her beautiful mother. Opening his mouth, he was speechless. Standing in front of him was his daughter, his own flesh and blood, the one person who would always love him, and never let anything falter her image of him. With tears welling in his eyes, klaus breathed out with a massive teasing grin on his face.

"Oh sweetheart, you've grown into such a beautiful little girl, even more beautiful than your mother, and she's absolutely stunning."

Laughing at her father, klaus let out a breath, even her laugh was breathtaking, she reminded him so much of his sister and Hayley. He still couldn't believe it. Repeating it in his head. His daughter. His daughter. His and Hayley's daughter. Their beautiful little girl. Hope Mikaelson. One of the best things to ever happen to him, and the other best thing to ever happen to him being Hayley, infact, probably the best thing to ever happen to him was Hayley, Becuase if he had not of met her, nothing would be the same, he wouldn't have hope, he wouldn't have one of the most important people In his life.

Hayley Marshall is his blessing in disguise.

Shifting his blue eyes slightly away from her matching ones, he placed a hand in her hair, pulling carefully on the small curls, to untangle them. Klaus whispered to her.

"Hope, my littlest wolf, I'm so sorry I haven't been here for you till now, and it's okay to be annoyed with me and angry, but I want you to know that I have always loved you, and have loved you from the second I laid eyes on you. And I promise never to leave your life ever again."

After years of thinking about what he might have said when he finally met his daughter, he ignored any line he had thought about and spoke directly from his heart.

Smiling at him with a massive grin with two front teeth missing, hope hugs him again, burying her head into his neck for comfort. Her small muffled voice spoke.

"it's okay daddy, mommy told me that you were helping my aunties and uncles and that it was very important and that you loved me very much and that you were going to come home one day, I could never be angry at you for that. Mommy always says that family is the most Important thing. Always and forever!"

Pulling his eyes away from his daughter, klaus looked up to see Hayley, streaks of water across her cheeks, red puffy eyes, and an amazingly happy smile on her face. Pulling away from his daughters hug, klaus stood back up and pulled hope from the ground and sat her on his hip, with one arm holding her up at her back, and the other at his side. Klaus marched forward to Hayley and used his other free arm to pull her into a hug, in which she gladly returned, wrapping both her arms around klaus and hope, and allowing her head to fall against Klaus's opposite shoulder to the side that hope was on. Tears involuntary falling from her eyes now. It was still a hard concept to grasp, her daughter and the man she love- her daughters father, klaus, finally meeting after so, so, long.

Without thinking about it, Hayley lifted her head from the blondes shoulder and grazed her lips softly against his, keeping her eyes closed, as if afraid to see what his reaction may be, but as she started to pull away she felt a pull telling her to do the opposite of running away. After kissing klaus back, they both pulled back. Standing opposite to each other with a grinning 6 year old between them.

Breaking the silence they has created. Klaus breathes out in wonder. With a giant smirk on his face

"So tell me my little wolf, what's this explanation of yours? Not that I'm complaining, I'm certainly not complaining." Breathing out a laugh, Hayley began to explain everything to him, whilst their daughter held onto him like a sloth on a branch, not wanting to ever let go ever again.
