Imagine : Elijah showing up at Elena's Door with Hope after Klaus sacrifice himself  his family and then Hayley leaves.

Elijah," Elena said with a smile.

Elena," Elijah said with a sly smile.

Come in ," Elena said with a smile as she lets him in .

Elena. This is Hayley and Klaus's Daughter Hope," Elijah said with a smile .

She is beautiful," Elena said with a smile.

Do you want to hold her ," Elijah asked as he gave her a smile.

Yeah ," Elena smiled.

Here you go," Elijah said with a sly smile as he hands hope over to her.

Wow. You are so beautiful," Elena said with a smile as she runs her finger down hope's cheek.

Where is Klaus at," Elena asked?

Klaus had sacrificed himself for the family ," Elijah sighs.

I'm sorry Elijah, " Elena said with a sad smile.

It's ok ," Elijah said as he gave her a sly smile.

What about Rebekah and Kol," Elena asked as she grabs hope's little hand.

Klaus had dagger both of them before he sacrificed himself ," Elijah sighs.

Oh. Where is Hope's Mother Hayley at ," Elena asked ?

After Klaus had daggered both Rebekah and Kol and then himself. Hayley had left in the middle of the night without hope or a note. All of her stuff was gone and I don't know where she went to," Elijah sighs.

Oh, Elijah. You are raising hope by yourself aren't you ," Elena asked with a sad smile.

Yeah I am. That's why I need your help with this Elena," Elijah asked her with a sly smile.

What kind of help," Elena asked?

Helping me with Hope. Maybe you move into the mikaelson mansion," Elijah asked her ?

Elena looks at him as she bites her lips .

Fine. I'm only doing this for Hope," Elena said with a smile.

Thank you, Elena," Elijah said with a sly smile.

( One Year Later )

No. Don't get into that young lady," Elena sighs as she picks up one-year-old hope.

Mama," Hope giggles as she lays little hands-on Elena's cheek.

No. It's Aunt Elena," Elena said with a smile as she kissed her forehead.

Let me guess that hope called you mama again ," Elijah asked as he leans against the door.

Yeah, she did. I like it but I don't want to replace Hayley," Elena sighs.

You aren't replacing Hayley. You didn't have to do this but you wanted to for Hope. Hayley might be Hope's biological mother but you are raising her Elena. So it's ok for Hope to call you mama," Elijah said with a sly grin.

Mama," Hope giggles once again.

Hi sweetheart," Elena said with a smile as she kisses hope's cheek.

She loves you ," Elijah said as he glanced at her with a smile.

I love her as she was my own daughter," Elena said with a smile.
