Being an Original and the daughter of none other than Klaus Mikaelson, your life has been exciting and difficult. You and your father have been at odds with each other plenty of times, arguing over this and that. But at the end of the day, the two of you love each other, and you always manage to work it out somehow.

 When your father gets a young werewolf named Hayley Marshall pregnant, and then decides to move back to New Orleans, you naturally move there to join him. You want to get to know Hayley, and be there when your little brother or sister is born.

 Klaus seems to be glad that you're around to help him, and even though it also doesn't seem like he wants you involved at all in his conflict with Marcel Gerard. While he's off doing whatever, he wants you to keep an eye on Hayley, and make sure no one gets to her. You don't mind doing just that, but when you Hayley disappears, you panic, and you don't know what to do.

 You later find out that Hayley snuck off into the French Quarter by herself, and tried to poison herself so that she would have a miscarriage. You're shocked and horrified to find out that this happened on what was supposed to be your watch, but what you're afraid of is your father's wrath.

 "This happened on your watch," he growls at you. "Your watch, Y/N!"

 "I know that," you say, trying not to show any fear. "I didn't know Hayley was just going to run off like that, and I couldn't find-"

 "Do not make excuses!" He grabs you by the shoulders. "Because of your carelessness, I almost lost my unborn child!"

 "Well...in case you'd forgotten, I'm also your child."

 You wriggle out of his grasp and walk out of the room.

 A few hours later, you hear someone knock softly on your bedroom door.

 "Y/N, let me in, please," Klaus says.

 "The door's locked," you say, "And I don't know if I want to let you in."

 "You are aware I could smash this door to pieces?" 

 "But if you did that, I would just be angrier than I already am, and that wouldn't work out so well for you, would it?"

 "Fine. Y/N, can you please unlock the door? I think-no, I know I owe you an apology."

 You get up with a sigh and unlock the door. Your father is standing in the hallway, looking genuinely remorseful, which is not something you often see in him.

 "It was wrong of me to blame you for what happened," he said. "Hayley's leaving for the Quarter and trying to...miscarry was her choice, and nothing that happened is actually your fault."

 You nod. "What to the 'I gave you one job and you screwed it big-time mode?"

 "That was wrong of me to do. And of course I haven't forgotten you're also my child. I could never truly forget something like that."

 You nod again. "Fine. I forgive you, again. You really have to step it up with your behavior, you know that?"

 Klaus chuckles. "You don't know how many times Elijah has told me things like that. But...I hope you know I'm genuine sorry I am for upsetting you and letting you think it was your fault."

 "Stop it, please." You hold up your hands. "You apologized, I forgave you. Let's not prolong it."

 "Right. Well...goodnight, then, I suppose."

 "Goodnight."

 You close the door again and sigh when you hear his retreating footsteps.

 How many times are you going to have to forgive your father before he finally steps up his behavior? Elijah thinks this new baby will help, and you really wish you could have as much optimism as he does.
