If you do not wish to read that part stop reading once you see ***

The next morning everyone starts gathering for breakfast in the great hall. Lily rolls her eyes when James keeps going on about where his mini flower is and complaining about Kol stealing her away after the movie last night. Lily looks close to banging her head on the table when all of a sudden a very tired-looking Iris and a pleased-looking Kol come walking over. Hope also comes out racing a determined little James to breakfast.

Klaus seeing Iris's state can't help but smirk and goes to make a comment when she sits down next to her father him being across from her. But before he can say anything Iris leans across the table and shoves a croissant in his mouth with a smirk making him choke. Rebekah seeing this laughs loudly before saying "We are gonna be great friends!" Iris smiles at her and nods making Rebekah hopeful to have a true friend in the future. 

Iris then smiles happily at her dad who immediately forgets about what he was complaining about when she rests her head on his shoulder making him smile softly at her and wrap his arm around her. Harry can't help rolling his eyes fondly at his sister and dad knowing his dad already has a soft spot for his sister. Harry knows both of their parents love them equally but he can also tell Iris has always been a daddy's girl and he is probably gonna be a proud mama's boy.

The cheerful atmosphere and joking immediately stopped when Hayley came stomping out of her room feeling angry that Elijah didn't join her in her room last night. Iris seeing the bitchy look on her face and knowing how her pregnancy hormones are right now knows if she says something smart to her she might kill her. But then she remembers that the she devil is pregnant with her little angel and takes a deep breath knowing she needs to not light the bitch on fire.

Hope seeing the woman starts to shrink into her father and crawls into his lap. Klaus notices the action and pulls his daughter protectively into his chest and glares at Hayley who doesn't seem to notice the glares from all the Mikaelsons the others also noticing their niece's behavior.

Hayley then walks straight up to Klaus and tries to grab Hope making the little girl whimper and for Klaus to pull her closer and growl the others stand up about to intervene. Kol noticing Iris's look towards Hayley pulls her behind him knowing she is currently pregnant and not willing to risk her getting in a fight even though he is sure she can handle herself. 

Hayley looks at him in disbelief "She is my daughter i can hold and take her if I want!" Klaus ignores her and starts to comfort a scared Hope as Hayley continues to try to grab her. Little James glares at Hayley from his mother's arms "My momma don't like you!" 

Hayley looks up at the brat about to scream at him when Kol speeds Hayley against the wall with his hand on her throat. "That would be a very stupid move on your part. You might be pregnant right now but you won't always be and when that day comes I will be more than happy to string you up with your own intestines if you dare threaten my family... Are we on the same page?" Kol said with a menacing look Hayley could only whimper in reply.

Kol nods before letting go and wiping his hand off as he walks back to his family pulling them protectively close to him. Hayley sits down next to Elijah who scoots away and starts a conversation with a Ravenclaw girl. Hayley just continues to grumble about how she is Hope's mother and can't believe she is being treated this way.

Hope frowns her mother was never around much always around the other wolves and Jackson and when she was she was always mean. She remembers hearing her dad yelling at her when they were packing up to escape to the wizarding world with Iris. Hope remembers being so happy to go back with Iris and never have to leave her and also be able to have her dad, aunts, and uncles all together this time. She knew it would be perfect and they would also all be happy and safe like a real family which is all she ever wanted. She only left to help her dad and family pack everything up.

************************

She was walking down to ask her dad a question when she started eavesdropping on her dad's yelling match. Hayley not knowing Hope is listening yells "I should have drank more than I did of that poison to abort her! She is an abomination that will become just like you!" Hope hearing crashing in the room runs away with tears rolling down her face wishing her real mom was Iris. In the middle of running away, she bumps into Elijah who frowns seeing tears running down her little face he bends down and picks her up wiping her sweet face of any remaining tears with his suit sleeve.

Hope looks sadly up at her uncle "Why can't Iris be my mommy? She loves me and protects me! I want a mommy like her." Hope didn't know what abort meant but she knew it wasn't nice and she also called her an abomination which she knew was definitely not a nice thing to say. Elijah makes her look up at him "The way you described her it sounds like she already is. [Hope looks hopefully up at her uncle who is smiling down at her] Family does not have to be blood sweetie. You call Harry your uncle and he isn't blood. I am sure Iris would love nothing more than to be your mother." Elijah tells her reassuringly making Hope smile and nod feeling hopeful that Iris would be her new mother.

Hope gets pulled out of the old memory and looks up at her dad wanting to finally know what that word meant that her mom had said. "Daddy, what does abort mean?" Hope asks everyone at the table freezing Klaus hearing his little girl's question starts shaking in anger. "Where did you hear that word?" Klaus asks his daughter trying to sound calm when she points her little finger to a wide-eyed Hayley knowing she has been outed. Klaus stands calmly up and passes Hope to Iris's arms who immediately distracts the girl asking if she wants to teach her grandpa how to play rock paper scissors. This makes Hope immediately forget about her question as she starts teaching a very focused James how to play. Sirius also wanting to learn starts to eavesdrop on how to play the new game.

Hayley knowing she is already gonna die after having this baby just shouts out at the Mikaelsons who are approaching her "If I knew this is how my future looked. I would have ensured it worked!" Making Rebekah's anger rise wishing nothing more than anything for the ability to have a child she feels grateful that she gets a chance to be the world's best aunt and notices Hayley subtly look at her room. Rebekah realizing she might still have some poison runs to her room before Hayley can and starts ransacking the room before she finds what she is looking for and squeezes it in anger. Hayley seeing that Rebekah found it glares at her making Rebekah smirk smugly and hands it to her brother who reads the bottle.

Klaus seeing that it is Wolvesbane crushes it all in his hand making the glass bottles burst and cut his hand. Klaus wishes more than anything to kill the woman in front of him but knows he can't yet. He doesn't even flinch as the poison goes into the cuts on his hand. Hayley swallows thickly knowing she needs a way out of here seeing all the angry looks being sent her way and knowing she is going to die if she can't find an escape the baby in her belly being the only reason she isn't already dead. She sits down on the far end of the table away from everyone trying to think and pray for an escape.

Iris looks to Kol and the others as they make their way back trying to mask the anger on their faces so as not to worry the children. Iris kisses his cheek as he wraps his arms around her making all the tension leave his body as he smiles contenly. Klaus's anger starts to calm when he sees his little girl smiling and laughing as she continues to beat her future grandfather and Iris's godfather at rock paper scissors. Sirius dramatically loses as Lily gives Hope a high-five making him smile and finish his breakfast feeling content that his daughter has family and seems to be truly happy.

Hermione stands up seeing people are almost done announces that the second movie will start shortly. Kol smirks and leans into Iris's ear "You think we can go back to the room for a little bit before the movie?"Kol asks as he kisses her neck Iris holds back a moan and looks to her content children actually considering it making Kol feel hopeful. Iris then makes eye contact with Klaus's smirk and gets sucked out of her lust haze and says no making Kol glare at his brother.

"Why must you ruin everything?!" Kol asks his brother dramatically making Klaus just give his signature smirk Kol grumbles and starts adjusting his pants having got his hopes up. Klaus noticing his brother's discomfort laughs loudly making others look at him confused.
