"My love thank you for coming, isn't our daughter with you?" Asked Klaus watching his wife who stood far from him.

"She is with Freya and Marcellus, Why did you ask to meet me here?"

"Well, I had hoped we might have a chat, and I thought you might appreciate the change of venue, so I am allowing you to see a private tour of one of my exhibitions," he spoke smiling at his wife kindly walking closer to her and she only moved back.

"They are just paintings of me during the centuries," she spoke gulping as he attempted to come close.

"I will not hurt you," he said walking closer to his wife his voice soft.

"Niklaus, I don't believe you," she spoke backing away in fear he only watched her sadly hating what he had done.

"My love-"

"I came to talk about our daughter, not to appreciate the art if you want to talk about our daughter fine, but I will not sit here and talk about anything else."

"Have I offended you?" He asked his wife again walking towards her who only walked back hitting the wall.

"Please don't hurt me," she spoke fear in her voice and he stopped in his place.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you that day," he spoke referring to the incident that occurred two months ago.

"I don't want to talk about it," she spoke scared, in their thousand years together he hadn't once laid a hand on his wife but that day he had hurt her, almost killing her and hurt his daughter in the process.

"Will you perhaps escort me to tomorrow's opening?" He asked his wife and she continued to watch the floor.

"If you want to see Joy, text me and if not, leave me alone," she spoke looking at his face and he looked torn so she sped away.

As she attempted to leave the compound as fast as possible ran into Elijah who looked at her and saw the fear in her face.

"Sister, are you ok?" He asked and she only nodded rushing out of there.

Finding her way to Rousseau's she ordered a whiskey and downed it as fast as she could. Before someone sat next to her.

"Same as the lady, leave the bottle, it's on the house," compelled a voice so familiar Leah almost snapped her neck to face him.

"Ah look who's still alive," spoke Leah with an eye roll.

"Oh cmon love, we know you missed me," he spoke looked at her with a smirk.

"I'd rather snap my own neck, a hundred times," she spoke emotionless downing another drink.

"Ah, my dear Leah as sarcastic as usual," spoke Lucien before laughing and drinking his drink.

"Go away Lucien nobody like a lurker," spoke Leah annoyed at the oldest sired vampire she knew.

Instead of a waiting for his reply she slammed a hundred dollar bill and left going towards where Marcel and Freya where.

"Hello my beautiful baby," spoke Leah walking towards her daughter who was pulling on Marcels ear she only watched her mom laughing.

"Are you hurting your brother?" She spoke taking her out of Marcels And Freya just walked out of the bathroom.

"She was amazing as usual, and I made her a bracelet to control her magic," Freya spoke and leah nodded thanking her and she smiled at leah.

"What did Nik want?" Freya spoke asking her closest friend worried what her brother had done.

"He wanted me to escort him to his art exhibition later tonight," she spoke shrugging her shoulders.

Freya stayed for a little while longer and Marcel left after a few minutes as he got a call from Josh something happened and he needed assistance.

"What do you say my darling, it's the perfect evening for a walk?" Leah spoke asking her daughter strapping her in to her stroller.

As she walked on the hardly busy streets she noticed her husbands art exhibitions light up the New Orleans art gallery so she decided to walk in.

"Little atmosphere, less technique honestly the work is nothing more than an ego trip," spoke one critic and Leah rolled her eyes.

She noticed her husband talking to Lucien and stood back not wanting to have to engage with the both of them. She noticed Joy watching the fathers work with a grin recognising many of the paintings to be her mother.

"Champagne?" Spoke one of the waitresses and Leah nodded taking a glass in one hand her hand on the stroller in another.

"Fancy seeing you here, you look rather beautiful," spoke Lucien to Leah who only rolled her eyes Nik fast behind him.

"I suppose late is better than never, but my love you are indeed late," he spoke admiring her and she only backed away from him avoiding his eyes again.

"Why are you pushing around a stroller?" Lucien asked Leah intrigued yet she only ignore his presence.

"Hello my beautiful daughter, I've missed you," Klaus spoke touching his daughters face and she grabbed his hand and he laughed.

"You have a daughter?" Lucien asked bewildered, and Leah rolled her eyes once again.

"Niklaus do not touch her," Leah spoke, fear in her voice.

"I see you two are still arguing, what did you do this time Nik?" Spoke Lucien with a smirk. "Reminds me of southern France all over again."

"Lucien I already told you this afternoon, no one likes a lurker," she spoke and he laughed compelling a woman.

"You look beautiful," Klaus spoke watching his wife with a smile.

"I must leave, it's time for Joy to sleep," she spoke and he sighed watching her.

"Please stay a little longer, I know I have no right to ask you that but please I just want my daughter and wife here today."

"You're right, you have no right to ask me that after you lay your hands on me, Niklaus you hurt your daughter," she spoke pain in her voice.

"I am deeply sorry for that but she is my daughter and you are my wife-"

"Ha! You remember I'm your wife, is it because Camille is dead?" He only looked at his feet as she walked away.

She walked out and noticed her daughter lightly cooing.

"What do you say sweetheart, wanna visit Uncle Kol?" Leah spoke to her daughter as she smiled at her mother.

During their walk to the cemetery leah noticed someone following behind her. Turning around she noticed a man in front of her showing his fangs she laughed pulling his heart out her daughter facing the gate to the cemetery.

Approaching Kol's tomb she smiled gently placing a rose on the side and she hadn't been here in a while and she hated it.

"I know I haven't been here in a long time, and I'm sorry but I miss you Kol I miss you so much, I wish you where here right now," she spoke crying and her daughter watched her curiously.

"Well, I have most certainly missed you too, looks like your wish came true darling, " Kol's voice spoke and she looked to where the voice came from.

She turned to see Kol, who was in his original body. He stood behind her with a smirk and she laughed through her crying and her daughter watched her doe eyed. She only watched as he walked to her and she wrapped her arms around her best friend.

"Kol it's really you!" She said laughing through her tears.

"I use to sit here watching as you spoke to me, but then you stopped visiting me," he spoke with a pout.

"I I'm so sorry-"

"Sister, I know why you didn't come, i watched over you and I know it was Nik's fault, I swear I'm going to kill him!" He spoke walking away from her.

"Kol how, how are you back?"

"Davina, she bought me back with a little help from Rebekah," he spoke with a grin.

"When?"

"This afternoon it was going to be a surprise tomorrow i was going to come to see you," he spoke with a smile and she only hugged him harder.

"Now sister I want to see my niece who I know missed me," he spoke picking up her daughter.

They only walked back to Leah's apartment laughing. She hadn't been this happy in a long time and she loved it.

"Now sister I must leave, I have a bastard to kill," he spoke and before leah could stop him he was off.

She only sighed with annoyance and was after him holding her daughter in her hands.

"KOL STOP PLEASE!" Leah shouted pulling Kol off of Klaus.

"Brother I think you've forgotten, I'm the hybrid, you can't kill me, but you've forgotten I can kill you," he spoke shoving his hand into his chest.

"NIKLAUS!" Shouted a pissed off Elijah.

"Nik if you kill him I'll never speak to you!" Spoke his wife and he only took his hand out of his chest.

"You don't deserve her Nik! You never have!" Kol shouted and with that he sped into another room.

"How could you! You almost killed him!" Leah said slapping her husband.

He didn't reply instead he kept his mouth shut and eyes on the floor.

"Please Don't leave," Klaus spoke and she scoffed.

"What so you can hit me? Maybe hurt Joy whilst you do it?" She spoke and he looked at her his heart broken and his eyes holding shame.

Instead of leaving straight away she went to check up on Kol Who was sat with Rebekah, who was in her own body once again.

"Hey beautiful," Spoke Rebekah watching her best friend.

"Hello sexy Bex," leah spoke with a grin and she smiled so her with a chuckle.

"I must go, this baby needs her sleep," Leah spoke softly before hugging Kol goodbye and kissing Rebekah's cheek and they nodded as she turned to leave only to be stopped by her husband who stood in front of her.

"I'm not letting you leave," he spoke standing in front of her.

"Niklaus move," she spoke and he shook his head.

"No, because I know as soon as you leave I won't get you back, not after everything I've done," he spoke and shook his head.

"Damn right you won't, but Nik you lost me the moment you hurt me, and our daughter."

"Please please don't leave," he spoke his voice begging hers.

"I've always been there for you, It's was always me! I loved you through everything and you didn't even care, now Niklaus I don't care what you think, and now you care about me, I don't care Niklaus," she spoke her heart breaking as she spoke every word his the same.

"You don't mean that," he spoke his head shaking eyes watery.

"Niklaus move!" She spoke attempting to push past him.

"No, I'm not letting you leave."

"Niklaus you must let her leave!" Elijah spoke his voice booming through the compound.

As Klaus was going to stop her from leaving she shoved past him and sped away, she held Joy close to her.

"You have had an eventful day darling, you need to sleep," Leah spoke to her baby who only giggled at her mom.

"You don't want to sleep do you?" She only laughed at her mother once again.

Leah spent hours trying to get her daughter to sleep but it was no use so she took her out once more noticing outside was pitch black and you could only hear the music of the jazz club.

"Joy will you please please go to sleep!" Said a frustrated Leah her baby only laughed at her.

"I can help," Spoke the voice she didn't want to hear at all.

"Niklaus, will you leave me alone!"

"No so let me help you put my daughter to sleep," he spoke walking closer to her and she rolled her eyes.

"Nik leave us alone!"

"Leah let me hold her, I haven't held my daughter in six weeks, I haven't held you..in six weeks," he spoke his voice getting softer.

"Niklaus!"

"Just let me hold her, I swear I won't hurt her," Spoke a distressed Klaus watching his daughter his eyes begging.

She only sighed reluctantly handing her daughter to Klaus. She watched him her smile brighter than any day before. She watched her husband Rick their daughter who fell asleep almost instantly.

"I'll walk you home," Klaus spoke and she scoffed. "I know You think I don't know where you live but I do."

"Fine," she grumbled, following being her husband.

"Fancy that, your penthouse is opposite Lucian's," Klaus spoke with a smirk.

"Give me my daughter and leave," she spoke and he sighed.

"She's our daughter, not only yours," he spoke with a heavy heart.

She only took their daughter and placed her into the crib in one of the bedrooms.

"I love you, I love you, I LOVE YOU!" Klaus spoke with a sigh. "I'll love you forever and always."

She only watched him with a sigh and her heart aching.

"Leave," she spoke her voice stubborn.

He only turned to leave, as he walked towards the door his back turned before he spoke, "I'm going to get you back even if I die trying."
