The pain had started the evening prior, but Hayley thought it was just the baby shifting around and deciding that it needed to move again. She kept track of them, but didn't think much of it. She hadn't ever gone to a doctor to get her exact due date. She knew roughly, but she wasn't sure if that would match up evenly once she had gone through the veil. By the middle of the morning, she's pretty sure that this is not just an odd feeling. She finds Rebekah and lets her know so that she can go figure out whatever needs to be figured out. The one thing that she knows is that her water hasn't broken yet, so that's a small favor.

She would be really okay with a few more small favors.

[Klaus ain't sayin' shit, but he's not going to be holding his breath awaiting his dear sister's arrival. But he doesn't seem to mind when Hayley uses him as her stress ball through the contractions she's experiencing. The good thing about an Original holding your hand during pregnancy is that you can break that shit over and over again.]

You and my sister have grown close. [He's just making an observation and perhaps trying to get her mind off of what's happening idk.]

[She exhales slowly, nodding at his statement, that she's pretty sure was meant to be also a question.]

Us girls gotta stick together. [She says, quoting Rebekah.]

[asuma]

You're even starting to sound like her. [As though ... he had any idea what Hayley sounded like before. Whatever he knows his sister and her rah rah girl power trips ok.]

[consequence]

That was sort of a direct quote, if I'm honest. I've never really had family or really good friends and I think I'd consider Rebekah to both of them.

[asuma]

Well if what you claim is true, then you'd be right about being part of this family.

[consequence]

[she still isn't comfortable with the fact that he still doesn't believe that she's carrying his child, but she's not going to bring it up.]

I've been called family, but you don't seem very keen on agreeing with that.

[asuma]

I'm fiercely protective of those I consider to be my family. As I'm sure you're well aware.

Though from speaking to both you and Rebekah, it seems I may have had some trouble coming to terms with the idea.

That doesn't mean I'm opposed to it. I just want to be certain.

[Carrying... presently in labor ~ same thing.

Either way, she's just going to breathe for a moment and start to walk some more, because she probably doesn't have time to debate this right now.]

I get it, I do, but I'm trying to be kind and courteous and give you that space, but I'm having this baby and I'd like you to be a part of her life. So, you've got however long it takes me to have her to get certain.
