Klaro - Step Siblings ;)
Enjoy!
Caroline laid across the outdoor recliner sun glasses on and a cold glass of juice on the table beside her when her father blocked her sun light
"Caroline, I need you to put something appropriate on. Esther and her children will be here soon"
Caroline groaned as she sat up dropping her magazine on the couch
"I don't even know why they need to come. This is our home, this was Mom's home"
Bill felt his heart sink at her words, she'd lost her mother when she was eleven years old and he'd taken her to their Florida home to ease some of her pain but now he wanted to bring his girlfriend Esther and her children into their family home.
"Come on Care bear, I know it's hard for you but I really like her and we'd like you all to get on"
Caroline huffed as she walked towards the house
"Fine anything you say Daddy. But I am not sharing a bedroom" Bill sighed.
Of course his daughter would grow into a spoilt brat being an only child.
"Mr Forbes, Ms Mikaelson and her children are here" Bill looked up to Stephen his butler and followed close behind him
"Thank you Stephen"
Bill smiled adoringly as Esther walked towards him
"Hello my love" She beamed brightly as he laid a kiss upon her lips
"Gross get a room" Bill looked towards the stairs to see Caroline wearing one of her many short dresses that barely covered her
"Caroline this is Esther and her children"
Caroline looked at them quickly
"Hi. Dad I'm going shopping with Bonnie and Elena then I'm staying at Bonnie's…"
Bill looked at her sternly
"Not tonight Caroline. Tell the girls they can stay but you are not tonight I'm sorry"
Caroline glared at him
"Fine! I'm going to a party on the beach though!" She stomped back upstairs.
Klaus and Kol shared a look as she walked away, they both knew what the other was thinking but didn't dare voice their opinions in front of their mother.
She was gorgeous, the attitude and the blonde curls bouncing on her shoulders made her that much more appealing.
"I'm sorry about Caroline, she's still not come to terms with the idea of two families combining, she' an only child" Bill apologized for his daughter trying to make the children understand her a little
"I sometimes I wish I was an only child too" Rebekah replied looking towards her five brothers and older snobby sister.
"Why don't you kids go find yourselves a room but please refrain from going into the room on the top floor, that's Caroline's room and she's very private with her things"
They all nodded as they went to find their own bedrooms.
Caroline sat in the drivers seat of her car singing along to the music with her best friends as they pulled up to her house.
"Come on, I want to see these new 'Siblings' of yours" Elena air quoted.
Caroline groaned as she climbed out of her car locking the doors
"Seriously Elena. I don't care about those stupid kids and they are not my siblings. I give them a month until she's running"
Bonnie shook her head
"I think it's nice that your dad's moving on."
Caroline glared at her.
"I don't mean like that, I mean that he's found love again after loosing your mom."
Caroline sighed, defeated because she knew in her heart Bonnie was right, her father did deserve to move on and be happy.
"Miss Caroline. I've prepared the beds in your bedroom for you"
Caroline genuinely smiled as she looked up at Stephen
"Thank you" He nodded in acknowledgement.
The three girls walked up to the stairs listening as the others fought over what bedrooms they were staying in especially the girls.
"Gosh now I know why my mom stopped at one" Caroline laughed.
"Hey not fair. My mom had five kids and we aren't dysfunctional" Caroline giggled
"Well your sisters may be dysfunctional but not you or Jeremy. Other than your persistence to play with Damon Salvatore and Matt Donovan"
Caroline earned an elbow from her best friend.
Climbing the stairs to her suite she laughed but as she opened the door she was greeted by two boys sat on two of the three beds in her bedroom
"Excuse me! What are you doing in my bedroom?" Caroline rested her palms against her hips glaring at the two smirking boys.
"Get out now!" She almost screamed aloud.
"Oh come on love, There's enough room for us to join your sleep over."
If looks could kill.
Even if he kind of looked hot she refused to allow herself to get remotely close to these people.
"Come on Nik, We've had our fun for tonight. Maybe we can join them in the pool tomorrow" The dark haired one suggested
"You aren't setting foot in my pool"
Kol smirked along with Klaus as they walked towards the door
"You have no choice Darling'"
Caroline huffed in frustration.
Kol turned around quickly swatting her ass as he walked away
"Gah! Just leave me alone" She roared angrily as she slammed her door shut.
"Wow they are…" Bonnie began
"Hot" Elena finished earning a disapproving glare from Caroline as she pulled her phone from her pocket
"Who're you calling?" Bonnie questioned but received Caroline's index finger pointing in the air to keep her quiet
"Hey Stefan, Dad's doing a BBQ tomorrow I thought you and the boys would like to join us, yeah cool"
Caroline smile grew
"Your dad isn't having a BBQ Care" Bonnie said confused. Caroline looked down at her phone sending a message to her father
"We will be now" She grinned
before throwing herself onto her bed.
The following morning Caroline began bossing everybody around and trying to get things in order when Rebekah came towards her
"Would you like any help?"
Caroline glanced up over the top of her clip board
"Erm.. Yeah. Keep your brothers away from me"
Caroline snapped and went back to bossing people around.
Rebekah huffed slightly upset as she walked back towards the house, she just wanted to fit in, to make friends and be helpful but nobody seemed to want her around
"Hey Bekah? Whats wrong?"
Rebekah came close to tears as she saw Klaus coming towards her
"I just wanted to help. You and Kol are going to ruin this, I just want to feel like I fit in"
Klaus looked towards Caroline as she made her demands
"That little…" He was cut off by a flick behind the ear by Finn
"Don't even think about it you little dweeb! Go help mom in the kitchen"
Finn demanded being one of the eldest he got to make those demands to his siblings but Klaus ignored him as he stormed down the path towards Caroline
"What did you say to my sister? You upset her"
Caroline glared at him
"Oh it's the bedroom lurker! I told her to get you and that other idiot brother of yours to leave me alone!"
She spat, as she helped Bonnie move one of the tables for the food to be sat.
"Leave Bekah alone. She just wants to help, she enjoys this stuff too and if we're all going to be staying here together maybe you could let her help"
Caroline huffed
"I don't want help from you or your flaming sister! This is my home and I do as I please"
She walked backwards unaware that the pool was millimetres behind her, which was rather silly considering she'd lived there for the past six years.
Klaus laughed as her body hit the water, she was soaked head to toe and he wasn't even sorry
"Serves you right!"
He beamed as he began to walk away but thought better of it, if he was going to get in her good books he needed to offer her some help.
"Here let me help you"
He reached his hand out for her which she gladly took offering a sweet butter wouldn't melt smile but as he tugged her hand she pulled harder pulling him In beside her
"Oh you..!" He laughed as he went to dunk her head under the water when somebody cleared their throat.
Caroline and Klaus looked up to see who it was
"What're you doing in there?" He questioned as Caroline climbed out quickly
"I fell in. Why're you here already, I said three 0'clock. It's only half past one"
He smiled as he kissed her lips softly
"I came to see if you wanted any help" Caroline beamed as she hugged him in her soaking wet clothes
"Thank you Babe. I'd really appreciate it" He grinned as he kissed her a little more fiercely
"You going to introduce us?" Klaus asked as he got out of the pool slightly disappointed that Caroline seemed to have a male .
"This is Stefan. My boyfriend. Oh and Stefan this is Klaus my what seems to be New Step Brother"
Stefan held out his free hand to Klaus
"Nice to meet you" Klaus grabbed his hand firmly shaking it quickly.
"Yeah. You too" Caroline fell into Stefan's strong arms smiling happily as Klaus walked away to his bedroom to change.
"So how's it feel having siblings?" Caroline groaned
"Just as you'd said. Annoying" Stefan chuckled as he loosely hung his arm over her shoulder as she walked him around the garden sorting out plans.
The party was In full swing and everybody but the mikaelson's seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Caroline relaxed in the pool her body entwined with Stefan's as he whispered sweet nothings in her ear, she looked in her father's direction and noticed him looking sternly at her from his place on the patio beside Esther and she knew she was in trouble
"I'll be back in a second" she said as she untangled herself and kissed Stefan softly on his cheek.
She climbed from the pool readjusting her two piece so that her boobs wouldn't pop out when she walked.
Walking towards all the mikaelson siblings she noticed how they allsat sat uncomfortably together
"Hey erm, Do you guys wanna join us all in the pool?"
Caroline tried being as polite as she could watching her new siblings carefully
"Why not" Freya said as she pulled off her sundress and headed towards the pool,
Kol was already in the pool but Elijah and Finn both laid on the ground with chemistry and poetry books in hand
"I guess you two would rather read? How about you three?"
Caroline looked towards Klaus, Rebekah and Henrik.
Rebekah looked nervously at her big brother
"Sure. Why not. Hen?" Klaus asked his little brother if he wanted to join them
"But Nik, I can't swim." Henrik looked away from Caroline embarrassed but she crouched down because of all of her new siblings he seemed the sweetest
"It's okay. I think my dad has some of my old arm bands in the garage if you wanna go search?"
Henrik looked towards his big brother smiling happily
"Ok. Come on let's go find you some stuff" Caroline smiled triumphantly as she walked towards the shed Henrik and Klaus following behind her.
She couldn't lie the thought of Klaus in close proximity had suddenly given her goose bumps.
"Here you go" She said as she climbed into the box labelled swimming things.
Henrik smiled as he ran from the shed to ask his mother for help.
"Thanks for asking them to join you. I know you only did it for your dad but it's nice"
Caroline smiled a little
"I always wanted siblings" Caroline spoke aloud before realizing her mistake
"I thought you loved being an only child?" Caroline sighed
"My mom got sick when I was ten and all I wanted was a brother or sister to be there with me, to sit and tell me it was going to be alright when she would wake up choking in the night and my dad trying to ease the pain for her and all i had was a teddy that she gave me when she got sick to hug."
Klaus felt sympathy for her
"I'm sorry about your mom." Caroline shrugged.
He looked at her causally folding his arms across his chest then rubbing one hand behind his neck
"Hey. Let's start a fresh. I'll tell Kol to stay out of your room and maybe we'll all be able to get on?"
Caroline smiled slightly
"Look it's not that you were in my room its just.. it's private up there, it's the last piece I have of my mom. It was her favorite place when we came out here"
Klaus nodded understandingly of course when his father had died all he wanted was the special pen knife he always used when the two of them went camping but Finn took it claiming that their father had left it to him.
"We know what it's like to loose a parent. We lost our father around two years ago. He had a heart attack while driving" Caroline looked at him apologetically
"I'm sorry. I know the words don't make a difference but I truly am"
"Hey Care. You coming back?" Caroline and Klaus looked to the door to find Stefan dripping wet with a towel around his neck
"Erm.. Yeah. Just coming" Caroline rushed past Klaus towards Stefan who grabbed her around the waist before flinging her over his shoulder
"Put me down" She giggled as he carried her towards the pool.
Klaus watched from the garage mesmerized by her beautiful smile, she was truly magnificent.
When the night grew darker and the fire began to burn out everybody started to leave,
Caroline looked out across the ocean,
her shawl wrapped tightly around her shoulders waiting just like she was waiting for something, a sign anything.
It had been a long day and the excitement from the barbecue and Stefan's watchful eyes every time she was near Klaus was tiring her out
"You know he's jealous right?" Caroline turned to see Damon Salvatore, a bottle of bourbon in hand
"Who your brother? Isn't he always? Come on he was jealous in freshman year when you gave me a lift to school because I was going to be late"
Damon nodded
"He loves you Blondie but sometimes I don't think you love him back"
Caroline looked up astonished
"How dare you? I love him Damon, I've loved him since I was thirteen years old. We've lost people together"
Damon sighed
"Exactly my point. You're with him out of guilt for our mother's death. Loosing her best friend was too much for her so she left me a stupid note and hung herself"
Caroline couldn't speak.
She felt her lungs expand and her chest tighten like somebody was strangling her.
"Caroline? Caroline"
The voice was feminine, It was distant but she could hear it
"Wake up"
Caroline's eyes shot open to see Rebekah leaning over her
"Are you okay?"
Caroline gasped as she finally filled her lungs with air but her face was stained with streaks from crying in her sleep
"I didn't want to wake you but you sounded like you were having a terrible dream"
Caroline nodded
"I'm glad you did"
Rebekah smiled, she was glad Caroline didn't snap at her this time.
"I'm sorry that I'm in your bedroom but your father sent me to fetch you, said something about a shopping trip with your aunt Lisa?"
Caroline groaned
"I forgot all about it. I have an annual shopping date scheduled for me and my aunt every summer for my back to school wardrobe"
Rebekah beamed it sounded wonderful, she missed shopping, she hadn't really had the chance in a long while.
"I'll just leave you to it then" Rebekah said softly prepared to leave but Caroline stopped her
"Would you like to join us? Maybe we could get to know each other better?"
Rebekah looked back at Caroline's warm smile
"Really? You won't mind?"
Caroline shook her head.
"I've got to get used to having a sister sooner or later"
Rebekah smiled as she bounced off back to her bedroom to get ready.
Caroline sighed as she sat on the bed, the dreams were back.
Those stupid ones where she knew that dating Stefan wasn't functional but she couldn't pull away but every dream it happened to be Damon telling her she was with his brother for the wrong reasons.
The door bell rang five times alerting Caroline that Lisa had arrived so she quickly threw on a fresh outfit and rushed down the stairs.
Caroline stood in the dressing room of one of her aunt's favorite boutiques trying on every tank top known to man.
"Really Lisa? Do I need to wear these?"
Caroline picked a grey one that matched none of her clothing up and threw it back down
"Come on sweetie. You used to love shopping as a child, Show Rebekah how we shop the Caroline way"
Caroline groaned, She hadn't overly shopped since she was fifteen and her mind was occupied with boys and parties.
"Your Aunts right Caroline. I would love to enjoy shopping, I haven't really been since my father died" Caroline halted.
Two years was a king time, she hadn't been clothe shopping in two years! No wonder she looked like one of the kids from the partridge family
"Fine but Aunt Lisa you're going to presaude daddy to let Rebekah and I go to the end of summer bonfire on Saturday"
Lisa chuckled as her niece bound through the dressing room
"Okay. It's a deal" Rebekah beamed happily excited to get used to her new sister and to get some new clothes.
Arriving home Caroline and Rebekah held over thirty bags each, laughing casually as they entered the house
"You girls have fun?" Her father asked as he rounded the corner of the kitchen
"Yes Daddy. I even got Rebekah a few new outfits"
Both girls smiled happily earning a please grin on Bill's face, at least his daughter was coming around to the idea of having siblings.
Caroline showered then threw on her short skirt and floral top ready for one of date nights with Stefan.
Sometimes she enjoyed herself and others she was out right bored but tonight he promised her a great night.
Stefan was already waiting in the house when she reached the bottom of the stairs,
He always looked like he'd just walked out of a magazine and that made her heart swoon but while he was stood next to Klaus he was duller in comparison.
Klaus had an electrifying Smile, something that seemed to jolt her heart, He made her feel special with only a smile and his bright eyes.
"We ready to go?" Caroline questioned.
Stefan who held his phone in his hand nodded
"YeAh come on"
Caroline sighed,
while she loved Stefan he never even looked at her outfit or complained about it.
She made her way following Stefan when a hand reached out to grab her wrist
"You look Ravishing Love"
Caroline couldn't keep the bloody from rushing to her cheeks giving her that soft pink glow
"Thanks" She whispered looking into Klaus' eyes before following Stefan.
She hated having siblings but when her step brother made her feel all warm and bubbly inside it was hard to hate him.
"I called Tyler and Megan, they're going to join us tonight"
Caroline huffed as she strapped herself into the car
"Seriously Stefan! I thought this was our special night? I thought you had all the spectacular plans for our evening"
Stefan looked over at Caroline smiling
"Of course I do Babe. We're just gonna have dinner with them then head back to my place"
Caroline nodded partly excited and the other half wishing she was sat beside anybody else.
When they arrived at The Salvatore home Stefan gripped a hold of Caroline's and pulled her towards his bedroom
"Where are you two going?" Stefan sighed as he looked towards his brother, arms crossed against his chest and smirking at the two.
"Damon get out of the way" Damon walked towards them slapping his hand against Stefan's chest
"If you're going to do what I think your doing then you better be safe! I don't want another mouth to feed"
Stefan looked at Caroline sheepishly
"Sorry" He whispered but Caroline returned his apology with a kiss.
"Come on" she whispered low enough only he heard.
She pulled his hand leading him to his bedroom.
Walking into the room Caroline was greeted with a neat and tidy bedroom, nothing out of place all except his school books.
"Damon really knows what to say at the wrong time" Stefan said she sat on the bed about two feet away from Caroline.
"That's why I'm glad I don't have that at mine, just an overly embarrassing dad"
Stefan peered over his shoulder at her
"What about all of your new step siblings? You can't tell me that once you get to know them they won't be over protective. Klaus, he's already putting a barrier between us when we're together"
Caroline rolled her eyes, Here he went again, thinking about Klaus and how he apparently had a thing for her.
"Look if we're not going to do this then I think it's best I go"
Caroline spoke aloud not meaning to.
Stefan looked at her as he moved closer towards her resting his lips against hers pushing her back onto his bed softy.
She was sick of being the only one of her group of friends with the steady boyfriend and still a virgin, she also wanted to feel closer to Stefan and stop allowing her mind to fill with thoughts of Klaus and his perfect smile.
R&R
A/N: Okay so as you can see Klaus and Caroline obviously have something going on here but Stefan is their barrier, He's determined to keep Caroline but even her subconscious (Dream Damon) is telling her that she doesn't really love him. Yes Lily was Liz' best friend and committed suicide after she died. I've not yet decided what reason i'm giving for that yet maybe they were secret lovers or something, I don't even know if i'm going to go further than that. As for Elena's family we'll get a glimpse of them soon and more interaction between our girls and the Mikaelson boys. Next Chapter is the End of Summer Barbecue and start of school.
