Leah's POV
I'm sat next to Elijah in the dining room, with him to my left. Hayley is opposite me, and Klaus is opposite Elijah. Rebekah is sat to the right of Hayley, with Marcel next to her. The kids are upstairs still, and we are waiting for the rest of the family. Klaus and Hayley had set the table, not accepting my help at all, and now we were sat talking. After the events of earlier, everything was calmer, and I saw the family that Elijah had described to me. 
"How are your parents Hayley?" Marcel asked her, taking a sip of his wine. 
"They are good, thanks. They are staying in the Bayou still, but have found a place near here. I'm seeing them tomorrow actually. Me, Hope and Klaus are going to spend some time here with them, to help them know each other more." She explains. 
"I did say if you didn't want me there, I would do something else for the day." Klaus says to her, making her look at him. She shakes her head. 
"No, don't be silly. They like you and they know you. They don't know a lot of people remember." They look at each other for a few more seconds, until he nods his head, agreeing to stay here. 
"How did you too meet then? If you don't mind me asking." I say to Klaus and Hayley. They look at me, then think for a minute. 
"My friend, Tyler, let me stay at his house for a bit. I was looking for my parents, being adopted as a baby, and a lead made me go to a place called Mystic Falls. He lived there, so he let me stay for a while. Tyler's girlfriend at the time, Caroline, had a bit of a weird relationship with Klaus." She starts but gets interrupted by Elijah. 
"By weird relationship, she means that my brother liked her." I nod my head, and Hayley continues. 
"Klaus and Tyler had a love-hate relationship really. Caroline didn't like Klaus at first, but that is a different story. Klaus happened to call in at Tyler's when I was staying there. And we met there." 
"As I recall. You were in his Dad's office, while Tyler was trying to get Caroline to leave, seeing as she didn't know you were there." Klaus says and Hayley chuckles, looking at her lap. He then turns to me. "Hayley liked Tyler, but he was with Caroline so. It was a bit of a shock for her when she finally found Hayley living in her boyfriend's house." 
"Hey, you liked Caroline, and that wasn't working." Hayley says to him, hitting him lightly on the arm. He just smirks at her. "The twins, Josie and Lizzie, who are the daughters of the headmaster you just saw earlier. Their mother is actually Caroline." Hayley tells me. 
"Oh. Well, that's a bit confusing." I say, laughing lightly, as do the others. "How did you two get together then?" 
"The person who gave Hayley the lead to finding her parents, Katarina, our family has a history with her. I was trying to find Katarina at the time, so I asked Hayley if she could help me find her, and I would help with her parents." Klaus says. 
"What he is leaving out is that Hayley wanted Tyler, Klaus wanted Caroline. One thing led to another. He asked her if she wanted to stay, and that resulted in them having a drunken-one-night-stand. Hope was the result." Marcel says, then drinks his wine again. 
"Basically yeah," Hayley says, and then starts laughing, Klaus soon joining in. "after that, Klaus told me that he saw my family in New Orleans. It led me here. Somethings happened, and it brought Klaus back here later on, having previously lived here with his family. He met Marcel again, having known each other for years. This then brought Elijah here. Elijah then found out I was pregnant, and then me and Klaus met again. Skipping all of the drama, we have raised our daughter together. Not going to lie, it was hard, but we love our daughter more than anything, and I think we did well." She finishes.
