We spent the curled in a ball on the couch in my room. My feet lay across his lap as he was sitting up. I some how managed to curl into his side yet have my feet over him. We had watched so stupid chickflick. I growled "What's the point in watching this movie all they do is Snog and pretend that they don't love eachother." I roll my eyes as he replies with a kiss on the top of my head just before his phone starts ringing. I growl again.
                          
"I have to get this." He says sadly looking at me.
                          
"Of course." I get up leaving my room heading down stairs I curl into the large c-section sofa. He comes down in 15 minutes. I had fallen asleep while waiting. I awoke to him kissing my forehead. 
                          
"Love?" He questions picking me up from the chair I curl in to his chest wrapping my arms around his neck.
                          
"Hmmm?"
                          
"I have to go back to New Orleans. Hope is in trouble." I shot up in his arms he almost dropped me from the way I did so.
                          
"You what?" I said confused.
                          
"I have to go back to New Orleans." He says. I hop out of his arms taking a few steps away. Rebekah chooses this moment to walk in the door. She hands me Andy.
                          
"She missed her mama. I'm going to be leaving for a while and I'm not sure when I'll be back so goodbye." She says giving me a side hug since I'm holding my daughter.
                          
"Bye?" I am so confused. She kisses me on the cheek before leaving. She says nothing to Klaus. "Okay then..." I say adjusting Andy before running a hand through my hair. "You're leaving?" I look to Klaus in disbelief.
                          
"Hope is in trouble." He says taking a step toward me.
                          
I take a step back. "You're leaving us."
                          
"Not for long I will be back as soon as I can. You have my word." He says taking a step forward, I allow it. He pulls me in to a hug.
                          
"Promise?" I whisper. A tear falls from my cheek.
                          
"I promise Love. I will be back before you know it." He says wiping the tear from my face. I sigh.
                          
"Stay tonight....Please." I study his face as he does mine. He nods, leaning down to kiss me.
                          
"Anything for you." I smile sadly. I feel my heart already mourning to go with him, but I can't he wouldn't allow it and as much as I want to go I also want to stay here with my family.
                          
"One sec." I pull out of the hug handing him Andy before heading back up stairs I search the couch for my phone.
                          
"What are you doing?" He says standing in the door with a Andy watching me.
                          
"Looking for my phone....Gods where is it?" I say biting my lip. He laughs. Ignoring him I find it. "Ah-ha." I dial Elena.
                          
Hello?
                          
Hey Elena it's Cleo I was wondering if you would be willing to watch Andy tonight? I know it's short notice but....
                          
She cut me off I would love to. I'll be there in ten. Are you leaving or do I need to bring her here.
                          
There if you would?
                          
Of course. be there soon. I hung up.
                          
Leaving my room I walk across the hall to Andy's packing a small backpack with everything Elena would need. Exactly ten minutes after my phone call Elena was at the door. "Thank you again."
                          
"No, I love Andy. I don't mind."
                          
"Thank you." I said as she started away.
