| “ | Klaus: We're a curse to each other and to our home. And I know she needs me, I see that now. But loving her brings her closer to death. Each and every day. And I want her to live. I want her to grow up... to become her own person, to travel and see the world. I want to watch her become a great artist, even better than her father. And more than anything, I want her to love and be a strong beautiful woman as her mother. And I don't know what to do, little witch. For once, I am lost.
Katherine: You and I are the same, Klaus. We manipulate, we thirst for power, we control, we punish, but our actions are driven by one, singular place deep inside... we're alone, and we hate it. For the longest time, I was against accepting the fact that you and I were the same... but since the birth of Lya... I know the truth and accept it finally. With Lya comes unconditional love, warmth and kindness, a type of family and acceptance which we've been seeking out for over 500 years. That is why we must protect her, Klaus. Always and forever. |

— Katherine and Klaus discussing the future of their daughter, Adyelya.
| ||
The family relationship between Klaus Mikaelson, Katherine Pierce and their daughter, Adyelya. Klaus and Katherine conceived her in Mystic Falls after Klaus encountered a newly-turned human Katherine in the Mystic Falls Grill. After a night of drinking, the two of them had a one-night stand. They dealt with Katherine's pregnancy with Adyelya and the fact of becoming parents during the first season of The Originals. As Katherine's pregnancy progressed, it became clear that Adyelya is the thing that they love the most in the world, and they even start to put aside their difference to work together, grow a friendship, and fall in love. Klaus even built a nursery for Adyelya next to Katherine's room in the Abattoir where they all will be a family.
Katherine gave birth to Adyelya in From a Cradle to a Grave while Klaus (weakened by Genevieve's Moonlight Rings) and her were captives of the New Orleans Coven, who wanted to sacrifice Adyelya to follow Klaus' mother, Esther's decree. They killed Katherine via slitting her throat and left Klaus unconscious. However, Katherine was resurrected by Adyelya's blood (rwaking up in transition to become a witch-vampire hybrid) and she went with Klaus to retrieve her baby with the help of Klaus' half-brother, Elijah Mikaelson. They managed to rescue Adyelya, but then Klaus and Katherine decided to give her away to Klaus' half-sister, Rebekah Mikaelson, and Katherine's first vampire daughter, Nadia, to protect her from the people that are trying to kill her. They decided that once New Orleans was safe, Adyelya would return home to Katherine and Klaus; this was Klaus' promised to her.
They are reunited in The Map of Moments where Klaus and Katherine are finally able to enjoy parenthood. However, when Katherine decides to leave New Orleans with Adyelya and her Trinity Coven, following her new husband's advice and with the help of the French Quarter Coven, Klaus found them and sealed away Katherine in a tomb in the cemetery, cursed the French Quarter Coven to being permanently trapped in the cemetery (if they try to leave the grounds, they are turned into ravens) and took back Adyelya. Over the next six months, Adyelya remains under the protection of Klaus, while only seeing Katherine once a month during the full moon.
With her curse put on temporary hold in You Hung the Planet, Katherine is finally able to fully reunite with Adyelya and take custody of her from Klaus. Katherine now lives in an apartment across from the compound, within range of Klaus' protection and in his eyesight, with Adyelya and Markos; however, she also frequently resides with the French Quarter Coven and will often take Adyelya with her. In The Axeman's Letter the curse is permanently lifted by Davina Claire, but only if Katherine agrees to transfer over her Regency of the French Quarter Coven to Davina. Wishing to be with her daughter again, Katherine agrees to do so, so long as Davina and the coven remain Adyelya's protectors and friends to Katherine, and in turn, she will also protect them.
Katherine and Klaus resolved their problems by the end of season three and agreed to work as partners for Adyelya (they also agree to put their growing feelings for one another on hold, as it complicates their relationship while raising Lya). After Klaus sacrificed himself to save the family, Katherine spent five years raising Adyelya and searching for ways to bring their family back. Katherine kept Klaus' memory alive for Adyelya as she told her daughter things about her father such as his loyalty to his family and how much he loved her. Adyelya deems her father as her 'fairytale prince'.
Katherine saved the family and worked with them to save Klaus. They succeeded and brought him home where he reunited with Adyelya. Klaus and Katherine now reside with their family and raise Adyelya as partners while fighting to keep their family together.
Following Katherine's death, Klaus is now raising Katherine as a single parent. However, following the end of the Hollow, Adyelya decided to stay enrolled at the Salvatore Boarding School while her father searches the world for a way to resurrect Katherine.
They are known as Kathelyaus or Kladyelya, or the Hybrid Family.
Throughout The Vampire Diaries[]
Season Four[]
The Original Hybrid, Klaus Mikaelson, and the second-known Petrova Doppelgänger and newly-turned human/witch of the Traveler sub-culture, Katherine Pierce, slept together in Graduation and conceived their daughter, Adyelya. Klaus and Katherine also agree to a tentative peace between each other, though in order for this to begin, Klaus tells Katherine that he doesn't wish to see her for many years and that she must leave Mystic Falls. The next morning following their one-night stand, Katherine departs from Mystic Falls, though unknown to both her and Klaus, it will not be the last time they meet.
Season Five[]
In the season premier, The Originals episode, during the summer Klaus--as well as Elijah, who follows his brother to New Orleans--is lured away to the French Quarter in New Orleans, where it is revealed by Sophie Deveraux that Katherine is pregnant with Klaus' unborn child (Adyelya Mikaelson). It is revealed that there is a war brewing between the vampires and the witches of the French Quarter, and much of that trouble is connected to not only Klaus, but also Katherine and his unborn child.
Throughout The Originals[]
Season One[]
In Always and Forever, Klaus and Katherine meet again, much to their displeasure, when the Deveraux witch sisters, Jane-Anne and Sophie, kidnap Katherine and use magic in order to confirm her pregnancy with Klaus' unborn child. When Klaus is lured back to New Orleans, he is informed of Katherine's pregnancy by Sophie Deveraux and his brother, Elijah. It is also revealed that the witches plan to use them (Katherine and Adyelya) as leverage to make Klaus help with defeating Marcel and his secret weapon. Initially, Klaus shoots down the possibility of Katherine being pregnant with his child, accusing her of having slept with someone else since being with him, something which Katherine denies angrily as she wouldn't be in her current situation if the baby wasn't his. Klaus rejects any notion of Katherine's unborn child being his and decides to leave, while also telling the witches that he does not care what they do to Katherine and the unborn child, and as such, the French Quarter witches can kill them for all he cares. Elijah follows Klaus outside in order to get him to change his mind. However, Elijah's words don't pacify him and he continues to deny the pregnancy and that it will not give him power, and that he isn't willing to be manipulated by the witches.
