"Um… yeah sure", Cami said frazzled by Klaus's sudden appearance. Had he heard her and Hayley's conversation she thought to herself?
"You look nervous love, something wrong?' Klaus said curiously, aware something wasn't quite right with Cami's demeanor.
"N..No NNo No nothing's wrong" Cami said nervously, not convincing Klaus at all.
" I came to talk to you about Hayley" Klaus said cutting right to the chase.
"Hayley!" Cami said with a loud nervousness. "What about her?"
"She just left here correct?" Klaus said even more interested at Cami's nervousness.
"Are you sure you're alright love?" Klaus asked suspiciously, " You look like you've seen a ghost"
"I'm fine!" Cami said assuredly trying her best to compose herself. "Get a grip Cami" she thought herself."
"What about Hayley?" Cami asked trying desperately to compose herself.
Klaus sighed and slumped into the nearest bar stool, " I need you to watch out for her, she's hiding something. I can sense it", he said with vehemence. "I'm worried she might try to take Hope away from me again." "Hayley's planning something and I need you to report back to me anything you can."
Cami sighed and rolled her eyes. " How romantic!", she said sarcastically. "The thing every girlfriend wants to hear, hey help me spy on my baby mama"
"This is important Cami!", Klaus said with the pleading eyes and sexy voice he always used when he needed something from her. " I need you to do this for me. Hayley considers you a friend and if she's planning something she will need allies"
Klaus got up and grabbed Cami's hands in his and looked deeply into her eyes. " You're the only one I can trust Cami."
It was frustrating how easily Klaus could get her to do anything she wanted. He didn't even have to compel her, he just had a way of getting under her skin which made it impossible to refuse him. And with that Cami knew would spill anything she could.
" Hayley did tell me something when she got here" Cami said meekly.
"What?" Klaus questioned. " What did she tell you?"
"I think she's planning on taking you down and trying to get Hope back" Cami said.
She would tell him part of the truth, but not the whole truth. She really didn't want to tell Klaus that Hayley was carrying another one of his children. It would only make things even more complicated for her own relationship with Klaus.
Klaus grimaced. " I knew I should've left her cursed." " What did she tell you exactly? " Klaus questioned again. " I need to know everything."
" She didn't go into detail," Cami confessed. "However from how she was talking, I think she's planning something, I'm not sure what, when, or how, but you should keep your guard up"
" Thank you Cami" Klaus said and gave her a kiss on the lips that took Cami's breath away.
After their lips parted, Klaus's eyes grew dark at the thought of Hayley trying to take his child away yet again. She never learned and her punishment this time would be gruesome.
Almost as if she could read his mind Cami could tell he was planning gruesome.
Regardless of her resentment towards Hayley, Cami didn't want her to get hurt.
Despite herself, Cami divulged some more truths.
"Klaus promise me you won't hurt her" Cami pleaded.
" I have been more lenient with her!" Klaus raged. " Yet she continues to try to take MY CHILD AWAY FROM ME!" Klaus continued with his fury. " I should have let Dahlia kill her…saved myself the trouble."
"Klaus don't hurt her she's…" Cami tried to plead, but Klaus continued with his threats.
" The gall of that woman!" Klaus continued on, infuriated. "I've been too lenient on her. It appears she still hasn't learned her lesson" "Oh" Klaus said darkly with an evil grin, "but she will learn."
Klaus went over all the ways he could torture Hayley in his mind. " Finally kill Jackson and the rest of those incompetent wolves", he thought. "No too simple." As he ran ideas through his mind, Cami kept trying to get his attention.
" Klaus" Cami started off lightly, but when she saw she still wasn't getting his attention she became louder. " Klaus!", she said louder still not able to catch his ear.
She could hear Klaus mutter " Dessicate and lock her in a tomb"
" KLAUS! DON'T YOU DARE HURT HER SHE'S PREGANT!", Cami yelled loud enough to finally catch his attention.
Klaus eyes turned to Cami and looked to her in disbelief.
" What?", he questioned.
"Hayley's pregnant" Cami repeated solemnly. " That's what she came here to tell me. Her and Jackson are going to have a baby"
Klaus shook his head in disbelief.
" That's impossible." Klaus denied. "She's lying! Hayley cannot have anymore children she's a hybrid", Klaus rejected.
" She's not lying Klaus!" Cami interrupted. " It's true. By some.. I guess miracle she's pregnant."
Klaus finally fell silent as the reality set in.
Much to Cami's dismay she could see behind Klaus's disbelief and confusion a hint of jealousy and sadness by the news Jackson and Hayley were having a baby.
"Did he harbor feelings for Hayley?", she wondered.
It took everything Cami had not to scream at Klaus for sleeping with Hayley again. Klaus had never showed any interest in Hayley before. Had there been something she missed? Some small clues?
Everyone had said that Klaus had fancied her, Rebekah, Marcel, Elijah. That he wanted her, there was never any mention of Hayley. Or perhaps they too didn't know.
There was never any indication that he had feelings for Hayley, but there he was trying to hide his sadness and jealousy over the fact the mother of his child was presumably having a child with another man.
" You're certain?" Klaus asked rather glumly.
Cami could see his discontent and confirmed yes that it was true. Klaus sat there for a few second with the same glum expression but then suddenly his eyes turned darker. Colder.
" Jackson!", he spat.
" So Hayley wants to run off with my child and start a happy little with JACKSON!", Klaus roared.
"Klaus calm down", Cami said soothingly, but Klaus was beyond enraged.
" If Hayley thinks she's going to get her story book little fairy tale she's sadly mistaken", Klaus continued.
And with that, a devious grin appeared on Klaus's face. " In fact, I think I've just exactly what I will do to show Hayley the error of her ways." "Once and for all.", he said darkly
"Klaus, just promise you won't hurt her.", Cami pleaded. " The baby is innocent"
At the mention of the baby Klaus's expression returned to one of dismay. The baby was really bothering him.
"Why does it bother you so much that Hayley's pregnant by Jackson?" Cami asked.
At the question, Klaus's eyes widened and his expression changed to one of nonchalance.
" It only bothers me that she had the nerve to try and steal my child and to have Jackson play daddy", Klaus denied.
It was more than that though and Cami could finally see it. How could she have been so blind.
" I'll tell you what", Cami badgered. " I'll keep an eye on Hayley report back to you what I know" " It would be best if you tried to stay away from her." Cami continued. " If she feels you're onto her she's going to get defensive and might shut down any info."
Cami moved closer to Klaus and grabbed his shoulder in a comforting fashion.
" We won't let her take Hope again, but if you want my help. I want to do this my way." Cami said with determination.
Klaus took Cami by the cheek and kissed her tenderly on her lips. " Thank you Camille", he said in a small whisper and with that he whisked away.
At his departure, Cami poured herself a bourbon and sat there knowing that the man she loved had feelings for another woman, and that she would do everything she could to fight for him.
