"Hey, you. Pregnant lady on my couch, wake up." Marcel says shaking me awake. I open up my eyes and see Marcel holding Hope on his hip. I adjust my eyes and sit up on his couch. "So, you didn't want to tell me that you and your kid snuck in here last night?" Marcel asks as he sits down on the coffee table, putting Hope down on the floor so she can walk around.

"Sorry Marcel... It was late, and Klaus and Elijah obviously needed to blow off some steam by fighting each other, so Hope and I snuck out so we could get some rest." I say yawning.

"Elijah and Klaus fighting? I thought they just got on good terms?" Marcel asks me curiously.

"I wouldn't call it good terms... But you know, ancient secrets reveal old wounds, as usual. This one involves a girl named Aurora." I say rolling my eyes at the girl's name.

"Looks lime someone's jealous." Marcel says raising an eyebrow at me.

"Well yeah I'm jealous! I mean, things between Klaus and I probably haven't been exciting as of lately. I mean, we haven't had sex in what seems like forever! Plus, he's got all his drama going on. We're on two completely different schedules, and I'm afraid that this girl is going to sleep with my husband! I mean, she was his first love... And I know he says he doesn't but it obviously seems like he still loves her..." I ramble on to Marcel, getting all of my feelings out.

"Klaus can be a dick, but the man is loyal... I feel like being unfaithful isn't his thing..." Marcel says as he pours himself a bourbon.

"I guess you are right..." I breathe out as I run my hands over my stomach. I then go over to the window and look out onto the streets. But something catches my eye, it makes my blood boil. "Or not..." I say as I look at Klaus with an unfamiliar girl walking down the street. "That bastard." I mutter to myself as grab my jacket.

"What's going on?" Marcel asks me curiously.

"Watch Hope for a second." I say as I run out of Marcel's loft. I quickly head out into the streets and see Klaus walking with who I assume is Aurora. I fix my curls and straighten out my jacket as I walk towards them. I pretend like I don't see them until I purposely bump my shoulder into Aurora's. "Oh! I am so sorry." I say as I turn towards her. The thing that really makes me upset is that she's actually hot! She's not like Genevieve or another one of Klaus's hags, this girl is pretty!

"Penelope?" Klaus says, obviously knowing what I am doing. Hey, I mean be pulling some high school shit but after last night, I can't take any chances.

"Klaus! Hi sweetheart!" I say as I wrap my arms around him tightly. "I was just about to call you." I lie to him. Aurora looks at us confused.

"Aurora... This is Penelope... Penelope.. This is Aurora." Klaus says introducing us.

"It's so nice to meet you, and you are?" Aurora asks me with a shady look.

"Klaus's wife. It's really nice to meet you." I say smiling at her passive aggressively. She gives me a dirty look but I tell her whose boss. I look up at Klaus and smile at him. "Listen, I have a few things to do today, I'll call you later?" I ask him curiously as I raise an eyebrow.

"Yeah of course, that sounds lovely." Klaus says as he grabs my hands. I lean up and kiss his lips, making sure that Aurora is watching. "I love you." I say to him as I peck his lips one last time.

"I love you too..." Klaus says pulling me into a hug. "You are so sneaky.." Klaus whispers into my ear so only I can hear.

"I know..." I whisper back as I kiss his jawline. I look at Aurora who is smiling at me, almost psychotically. "Well it was so nice to meet you.." I say in a fake tone.
