True. I just didn't really expect you to, you know, claim me in that way. Or in any way. But really. Thanks.
Really? Impressed? Thanks. I'm not fighting it. They want what they want, so...I'll respect it. But no. I wouldn't ever do that. I don't care what I'd gain. I would never hurt a child. And certainly not a baby. But people can think what they want of it, of me, I don't really care. Either of those kids is ever in trouble and for some reason I'm the only one that has a chance in hell of saving them, you'll be damned if I don't. Klaus' kid or not, his hatred for me, it wouldn't matter. Somebody tries to hurt that baby, I will do whatever it takes. Whatever. It takes. I have plenty of issues with your brother, but I wouldn't wish that pain on him. Ever. He wouldn't believe me if I told him, I'm sure, but really. I would never use her against him.
More than either of us really wanted to admit once upon a time.
