"What do you need, Katie?" I asked her as I check my shelves to make sure they were fully stocked and hold onto Angel as she sucks on her pacifier.

"Do you mind if I borrow something? I'm helping a friend out." She asked me with a very obvious fake smile on her face.

I stare at her suspiciously and then nodded my head. She immediately went to grab the wolfsbane. "Last time I checked, all the werewolves were cursed and forced into the bayou. What werewolf friend could she possibly have?" I thought as I watch her exit my store and then it clicked for me. "Hayley." I used my vampire hearing to eavesdrop into their conversation. "Wanna earn some points? Tell Marcel there's a werewolf in the quarter." Katie said.

I found Hayley after I closed my shop, sitting on the bench about to drink from this cup. "Hayley!" I yelled out stopping her from drinking the poison. "Why are you trying to kill your child?" I asked her.

"I don't think I'll be a good mother. My real one gave me up, so what does that say about me?" She said looking down inside her cup.

I sigh before joining her on the bench. "Just because your mom gave you up doesn't mean it will define who you are as a person. Maybe they didn't want you, maybe they were trying to protect you from their world, we will never know. What I do know is that you are a good person who is caught in a bad situation. You got me to help you if you want." I said pulling her into a side hug and she hugs me back.

We were interrupted by a noise that was nearby. We looked around till me and Hayley turned around to see one of Marcel's vampire standing in front of us with his face all vamped out. "Dumb move, coming into the quarter. You're coming with me, wolf." He said.

"I have had it up to here with vampires telling me what to do!" Hayley said then threw her hot tea mixed with wolfsbane into his face. He screamed in pain holding his face in his hands as two more showed up. Rebekah then speeds behind them and rips both their hearts out. "Now that is no way to treat a pregnant lady and her friend. I do hate bad manners." Rebekah said then throws the heart to the ground.

"Thank you for saving us." I said and she smiled at me. I look around at the two dead bodies and a still breathing vampire. "Welp, we can't let them sit here. It'll be too suspicious. And since my hands are full," I held Angel up more gesturing to her, "I'll just drag the still breathing vampire back to the mansion with my magic." I told the two of them before turning around to walk back to said house.

I was in my room staring at Angel as she just looks at her surrounding smiling at everything when I felt a presence behind me. I turned around to see Klaus standing there, watching Angel as she puts her foot in her mouth. "Do you think I'll be good?" He asked me breaking the silence.

"To me, no one can be good." I told him as I picked Angel up and sat on the bed. "I believe everyone has a dark side." I said. After a few minutes of silence he walked into my room and sat next to me with our knees touching. "I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Hayley when I found her tonight. Your parents action should not define who you are. If you guys learn from their mistakes then your child will grow up happy." I said

He didn't say anything. I'm assuming he is talking my words to heart. "Can I hold her?" He asked me and I immediately let a smile form on my face then nodded my head. I gently put her in his arms. "Support her head." I told him and he shifted his arms so Angel's head will stay straight. She looks up at Klaus and starts reaching out for him. My eyes grew wide as I stare at my daughter. Klaus puts a finger in her hand and she starts to softly pull on it while he smiles down on her. "Well, this is a first. She usually hates being separated from me. What did you do to my daughter?" I joked. He laughed making Angel coo up at him. She yawns and her eyes start to close.

"Looks like the little princess is tired now" Klaus said and he handed Angel back to me. "See you tomorrow, love." He said. We just stare into each other's eyes not breaking the connection between. I'm not sure what's going on between us and I'm not sure if I like it yet. Klaus breaks eye contact with me and gets up off the bed and walked out my room.
