 "What an entirely unwelcome surprise." Klaus groused, as he turns to his Brother on the balcony of the compound. 

"And what an entirely unsurprising welcome. Come with me." Elijah commands, starting to walk away. 

"I'm not going anywhere until I find out who is conspiring against me." Klaus barks unmoving. 

"I believe I just found that out for you." Elijah says and Klaus follows him, arriving at the cemetery and entering the Crypt, and he sees the wolf Girl Hayley frowning he turns to the witch who tells him Hayley is pregnant and carrying his baby. 

"No. It's impossible," Klaus shouts. 

"I said the same thing myself. " Elijah agreed.

"This is a lie. You are all lying. Vampires cannot procreate." Klaus lamented. 

"But werewolves can. Magic made you a vampire, but you were born a werewolf. You're the Original hybrid, the first of your kind. And this pregnancy is one of nature's loopholes." Sophie said. 

"You've been with someone else, admit it! " Klaus screamed at Hayley. 

"Hey, I've spent days held captive in a freaking alligator bayou because they think that I'm carrying some magical miracle baby. Don't you think I would've fessed up if it wasn't yours?" Hayley snapped at Klaus, her eyes furious. 

"My Sister gave her life to perform the spell she needed to confirm this pregnancy. Because of Jane-Anne's sacrifice, the lives of this Girl and her baby are now controlled by us. We can keep them safe. Or we can kill them. If you don't help us take down Marcel, so help me, Hayley won't live long enough to see her first maternity dress." Sophie shrieked 

"Wait, what?," Hayley yelled out shocked.

"Enough of this. If you want Marcel dead, he's dead. I'll do it myself." Elijah said firmly. 

'No. We can't, not yet. We have a clear plan that we need to follow, and there are rules." Sophie said, and Elijah looks towards Niklaus awaiting his reaction.  

"How dare you command me, threaten me, with what you wrongfully perceive to be my weaknesses. I won't hear any more lies. " Klaus yells his fists balled in anger.

"Niklaus! Listen." And Klaus, listening, hearing the heartbeat of the baby. He looks at Hayley, then at his Brother and the witches.

"Kill her and the baby. What do I care? " Klaus spits out and leaves the Crypt, Hayley's eyes widen at his outburst her hand goes protectively on her stomach.

"Screw this. I'm out of here!" She says,

"No one touches the Girl. I'll fix this." Elijah commands to Sophie, and Sophie nods.
