Please Remember to review at the end!
Klaus Mikaelson, King of the once Lockwood kingdom, now deemed the Mikaelson Kingdom, walked down the hall of his palace with his hands clasped tightly behind his back, his black boots pounded against the concrete. He walked with a noble gait, although today his head was not as high as it usually was. His hair was no longer short as it once was, either. Now it was to his shoulders, and wavy, giving him a more dignified look, adding to the scruff beard on his face, to which his wife refuses to let him get rid of. His clothes no longer signified the lowly position he once held. Now they were more elaborate, but still carried the hint of what he used to be. He was a beloved king, beloved by the people.
True he only possessed the throne for only a year, but the people loved him anyway. For when he was labeled an outlaw by Tyler Lockwood, he fought for them, and they never forgot.
They also adored their queen, Caroline Mikaelson, once a Forbes. She was kind and affectionate, and won many of the people's hearts in only a short time. In her kingdom, she was called the Swan Princess for she was once considered an ugly duckling, but later proved them wrong by blossoming into a beautiful woman. Now, in this kingdom, she was considered the Swan Queen.
Niklaus and Caroline Mikaelson were a force to be handled. Tales filled the countryside of how they defeated Lockwood, and, for the more romantics, how their love overcame it all. It was a romantic tale that was being told throughout the kingdom. Everyone loved hearing it. They also knew how protective their King was towards their Queen, and for that they loved more than anything.
The day David, the heir to the throne, was born the kingdom celebrated. It was a glorious day! The entire kingdom gathered outside of the palace and waited for the presentation. On the far balcony, Klaus had opened the glass doors, and stepped out carrying his heir in his arms. Caroline had been lying in her bed watching as her husband lifted their son to the masses below. She had smiled through her exhausted state, and had never been prouder.
Klaus paused as he approached the door of his destination. He couldn't help the smile coming across his face as he heard a beautiful voice which drifted all the way to his soul. He looked into the room, and let his eyes drink in the sight of his wife and son. She was dressed in a simple blue dress, with small silver threads lining the bodice. Her long blonde hair was pulled up in a loose bun, and she never looked more beautiful. His breathe caught at the sight of her. If he lived to be a hundred she would still be the most beautiful woman in the world.
"Hush my little one, don't you cry." Her melodic voice flowed through the doorway as she continued singing to their four month old son. "You have mommy by your side. Your father is here to keep you from harm." She sang as she lifted her head to see her husband leaning against the doorway. She smiled her bright smile as she looked back down at her son, who was sleeping, but moving his lips with a slight cry. "So sleep, my little one, and dream pleasant dreams, and know that we love you for eternity." She drifted off as her son went fast asleep in her arms.
She smiled as she moved her arms up to gently kiss her son's head, and stood up from her rocking chair. She caught her husband's eyes as he helped her stand up and walked with her to lay their son in the crib.
As Caroline placed her sleeping son in the wooden crib, she smiled once more as her husband bent down to kiss his son. Such a simple gesture, but it melted her heart every time.
Klaus pulled David's blue blanket up to cover him, and stood up to watch his son sleep with his little hands forming fists. He felt a hand grasp his, and he intertwined their fingers. It was moments like this he truly treasured. Standing with his wife, watching their son sleep was things he never dreamed could happen to him when he was a rogue.
He looked up to his wife, and smiled as she leaned her head on his shoulder. Years ago, if anyone had told him he would have a beautiful wife, a son, and be ruler of a kingdom, he would have never believed it. Now here he stood, having exactly that, and he couldn't be happier.
Unlocking their hands, he wrapped his right arm around Caroline's shoulders, and together they slowly backed away from the crib. Once they had left the nursery the crossed the hall two doors down to their room.
It was nightfall, and they had been apart for the better part of the afternoon, due to other duties. They hated those moments. They hated being apart even for an hour, but it was the price they paid for being king and queen.
As the door closed to their room, they locked the outside world away for the night.
Caroline turned to her husband as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She smiled as she looked into his eyes, and found such love and passion hidden in the depths, she could hardly breathe.
"I have missed you, Niklaus." She whispered, stroking his long hair.
Klaus smiled, and touched her face with the knuckles of his right hand. "And I missed you, Swan." He whispered in return.
Caroline beamed and leaned into his hand. She would never tire of these moments. She closed her eyes, and savored the feeling of his knuckles stroking her face, softly. Slowly she opened them when his hand traveled to the back of her head, and released her hair from the confines of her hair pins. He smiled as her hair tumbled down her shoulders, and her back. God, how he loved her hair!
Caroline sighed as his fingers wove through her hair. His fingers were magic to her. They made her burn hotter with a single touch. She had told him before he had ruined her, and it was truth. She could never imagine herself with another man, nor would she want to.
Klaus was the only man for her. She didn't need other men to tell her that. She only needed his love for her.
She watched as his eyes flashed with lust, and she knew what was coming next. It was still too soon for her to have relations with her husband, but there were other things they could do, things her husband exceled at perfectly.
She smiled as his lips came down on her, and gently caressed them. She opened her mouth as his lips gently sucked her bottom lip, releasing a moan from her throat. His tongue darted out into her mouth, and sighed as it moved over hers gently. Moving her tongue, she caressed his, and inwardly jumped when he moaned into her mouth.
Her hands moved through his long locks, and she thanked God he had allowed his hair to grow long. She loved it.
Klaus moved his lips over hers, separating only slightly, to move to the other side, before deepening again. He could not get enough of his wife.
Soon they had to separate for the lack of air was beginning to make them lightheaded, but they would never say that.
Caroline smiled as she backed away, and slowly began to push her dress down. The lacings in the back had been loosened, due to Klaus' fingers while they were kissing.
Klaus smirked as her dress fell to the floor, revealing her perfect body, to which he knew so well. He tilted his head, and approached her, only to take off his tunic and undershirt as he walked. Caroline smiled as she took in his well, muscled physique. He was a god in mortal form, and she loved it.
He closed the distance between them, and captured her lips with his once more. He shivered as her hands moved over his chest, and her finger nails gently scraped his chest. He pulled her bare body to his almost bare body and sighed into her mouth.
She was more than he could ever imagine. He moved his lips from hers, and trailed butterfly kisses down her chin, neck, collarbone, and finally to her chest. She threw her head back, as he planted open mouthed kisses on her breasts, careful not to suck on her nipples.
She arched her body towards him, and moaned as his mouth worked magic on her. Gently he bent down and scooped her up in his arms. She smiled into his throat, and placed gentle kisses along his neck. He shivered at the contact, and she could help the giggle escaping her lips.
He laid her carefully on the bed, and climbed in to join her. Softly he kissed her lips, and smiled as she threaded her fingers through his hair. He hated his long hair at first, but she made him love it. Just the feel of her fingers in his long tresses was enough for him to love it. He wouldn't trade that feeling for anything in the world.
She moaned as his fingers moved down her body, gently stroking her. She smiled against his mouth as his fingers stroked her stomach, causing her to giggle slightly. He pulled back, and his mouth curved up into a smile. He loved her laugh.
She stroked his face, and traced his lips with her left hand, as she searched his eyes.
"I love you, Klaus, so much." She whispered, as they continued to gaze into each other's eyes.
He smiled as he lowered his head to gently kiss her lips. He pulled back, and brought his right hand up to caress her face. His thumb ran over her kiss swollen lips, and he searched her eyes.
"I love you, Caroline, more than I have ever thought I could." He whispered, tears brimming in his eyes.
She opened her mouth, and tilted her head to the side. Lifting her head, her mouth kissed his eyes, and gently captured his tears. He sighed as she lowered her head back down on the feather pillows.
"You're so beautiful." He whispered, moving his hand over her face into her hair.
She smiled, and ran her right hand through his tresses. "It's probably because I'm so happy and in love." She returned moving her lips in an upturned fashion as her eyes narrowed, playfully.
He chuckled and shook his head. "You were beautiful before you fell in love, swan." He remarked, his eyes twinkling.
She laughed, and tilted her head. "So you are saying I wasn't as beautiful before." She replied, narrowing her eyes again.
Klaus rolled his eyes. "I just told you that you were beautiful." He stated, with a smile.
"So I'm not beautiful anymore?" She asked, her eyes brimming with happiness.
He sighed, and bowed his head as he closed his eyes for a moment, before lifting his head up to look into her eyes. "You are always beautiful, Caroline." He whispered, narrowing his eyes.
She shook her head. "That's not what you said." She stated, with a smile, though she was trying to keep a straight face.
He shook his head. "I never said you weren't beautiful, swan. Don't put words in my mouth." He scolded, lightly, pointing his right forefinger at her.
She moved her right hand to his, and pulled his finger to her mouth, where she placed it inside, and began to suck on it.
Klaus' face transformed into total pleasure, as her tongue moved over his finger, and she gently sucked on it. He closed his eyes, as she sucked softly. She was turning him on, and she knew it.
Slowly she pulled his finger out of her mouth, and he opened his eyes. She smiled at the sight of lust in his eyes.
"I can think of something else I want to put in your mouth." She whispered, with a coy smile.
Klaus lifted his brows and smirked. "Oh, really." He whispered, though his voice was shaking with passion.
Caroline nodded, and pulled his face down to hers, and kissed him with so much passion it shook them both.
Her bare left leg moved over his still trouser covered leg, and she smiled into his mouth when he moaned.
She wanted him, that much was certain, but they still couldn't.
His fingers moved from her face down her body once more, and she shivered as he made it to her legs. With a sigh, she opened her legs as his fingers moved over her inner thighs.
She shivered with pleasure as he began to stroke her softly and urgently, as their lips fought for dominance. Needing air, Klaus pulled up as his fingers found their mark, and he gently inserted them inside of her. He watched as her eyes filled with pleasure, and smiled up at him.
He loved watching her. He moved his fingers in and out, and smiled as she writhed underneath him, pushing her hips down on his ever present hand.
His eyes captured hers, as she opened her mouth in a loud moan.
Her back arched, bringing her bare body against his bare upper body. He inhaled sharply at the contact. His eyes widened as her fingers moved down from his hair, to his chest, down further, reaching the edge of his pants. As he continued pumping his fingers in and out of her, she moved her fingers inside his trousers, and began moving them over his manhood.
He couldn't believe the pleasure he was feeling. He was already turned on, even before she began her latest work.
As they continued to pleasure each other, their eyes never deviated. They stayed locked as their pleasure built.
Caroline moved her hips as his fingers curved inside of her, and she bit her bottom lip. She moaned his name, but her eyes never left his.
He felt his hips bow into her hands, as he realized she had pushed his trousers down to his knees. With quick kicks, which added to the pleasure, the pants left his legs, and he moaned as she continued her work.
"God, Caroline!" He moaned out as he fought to look away from her.
After a few more pumps from both of them, they found their release at the hands of the other.
With that Klaus collapsed on his side, as he slowly pulled his fingers out of her, and she released him. The room filled with their panting, and smelled of their sex and sweat.
Klaus moved his mouth over hers in a gentle, soft kiss, as they both came down from their high.
Caroline sighed as he pulled away. "I don't think I can wait until we can fully make love again." She whispered in the silence after their passion had died down to a simmer, and she was resting in his arms with the covers surrounding them.
Klaus chuckled, as he ran his left hand through her hair, and gently kissed her head. "I don't think I can either, love." He whispered, with a smile.
Caroline moved her cheek against his bare chest. "I'm so glad you love me." She whispered, biting her bottom lip.
Klaus frowned and looked down at her, gently lifting her away from him. "Why is that, Caroline?" He asked, searching her loving eyes.
She smiled as she caressed his cheek with her left hand. "Because without you loving me, I wouldn't have made it this far, and I wouldn't have little David." She stated, with a smile.
Klaus searched her eyes, and couldn't help the smile forming on his face or the tears in his eyes. "Well, I'm glad you love me the way you do." He whispered, touching her face with his right hand.
She tilted her head and smiled. "And what is your reason?" She asked, softly.
"Because without you loving me, I would still be on a dark road, and would never have your light guiding me home." He answered, in a deep passionate tone.
Caroline's smile brightened, and she leaned forward to kiss his lips. "Well, then, we are lucky to have each other." She whispered, against his lips.
He chuckled as his fingers wove through her hair, and he deepened the kiss. "I wouldn't say lucky, swan." He whispered, after they pulled back a fraction.
She opened her eyes, and gazed into his azure blues. "Then what would you say?" She asked in a breathless whisper.
He smiled as he caressed her face. "I would say blessed." He answered, with a soft kiss on her lips.
She smiled against his lips, and melted into his embrace.
Yes, she thought as they nestled against each other before they drifted off to sleep, they were blessed.
Little did she know that their blessed life was about to change, drastically.
~Bonnie and Kol's Room~
Bonnie sighed as she watched Kol watch their baby daughter sleeping in her little bassinet.
"Kol, will you let her rest? You've been staring at her for over an hour." She stated, crossing her arms, as she sat against her headboard. She had to admit that she loved seeing Kol fuss over their six month old daughter.
Kol glanced over his shoulder, and sighed as he straightened. "I just can't get over it." He whispered, as he walked over to his wife.
"What?" She asked, as he climbed in the right side of the bed, pulling the covers over them both.
"That I'm a father, and a husband." He stated, leaning back against the headboard.
Bonnie giggled at his face. "Well, if you didn't want to be a father, then you shouldn't have seduced me." She stated, with a smile.
Kol whipped his head around to look at her, his mouth opened. "You seduced me!" He shouted in a whisper.
Bonnie cocked her brow, while stifling a laugh. "Well, you shouldn't have complied." She returned, glancing at the bassinet.
Kol rolled his eyes. "I couldn't stop my body." He muttered, laying his head back against the headboard.
She covered her mouth at his words. "You couldn't stop your body?" She asked, as she threw her head back and laughed. "That's rich, coming from a man who kept luring me in with false kisses, driving me insane in the meantime." She stated, with a sparkle in her eyes.
He had to suppress a chuckle at her wording. "Well, it worked didn't it." He stated, looking straight ahead.
Bonnie dropped her mouth, and gasped. Lifted her right hand, she collapsed it into a fist, and slammed it against his upper left arm, hard.
He flinched, and grasped his arm with his right. "Ow!" He shouted, glaring at her.
Bonnie folded her arms over her chest, and looked straight ahead, only to scoot further down under the covers, and turned onto her side with her back facing him.
Kol smiled, and leaned over to gently kiss her bare shoulder, above her night gown.
She shivered, involuntarily at the contact, and bit her bottom lip as he continued kissing her shoulder, moving up to her neck, jaw, and cheek. Gently rolling her over, he moved his lips over her nose, and then down to her lips.
She couldn't resist. She opened her mouth against his, and moved her left hand to his brown locks. How could she stay mad at this man?
He pulled back, and smiled as she opened her eyes, slowly.
"I hate it when you do that." She muttered, stroking his hair with her hand.
Kol smiled wider. "Do what, lass?" He asked, moving his right hand over her cheek softly.
"Kiss me to win an argument." She stated, plainly with a smile, a dangerous smile.
His smile faded when he recognized the smile. He flinched when she pulled his hair, hard.
"Bonnie!" He shouted, as pulled only a fraction.
"I may love you, Kol Mikaelson, but you can't just kiss me to win an argument. Do you understand?" She asked, as she eased up on his hair.
Kol groaned as he nodded. She smiled softly as she let go of his hair, and turned back around.
He sighed, and shook his head. Well, he was in the dog house, again.
He groaned as he fell back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
"Great job, Mikaelson." He muttered, as he glanced at his wife's back. He reached over at the lamp on the nightstand beside him, and turned it down, and shook his head again.
Not knowing that his wife was doing her best to suppress the laughter bubbling in her chest.
~Outside the Castle~
Sophie Devereux sighed as she raised her wrist to knock on the doors. She shivered as the cold wind began to blow through her shabby coat. She felt arms around her, and she gave a weak smile to the girl beside her.
The doors slowly opened, and she turned back to the person on the other side. She took in his appearance, and realized this was a high ranking guard.
"Please I have urgent business with King Niklaus." Sophie sputtered, even with the extra heat from Camille, she was still freezing.
Stefan Salvatore studied the women carefully, and stepped aside.
As they stepped inside, he held up his hand.
"Forgive me, but it is procedure." He stated, calmly, but firmly, stepping towards them.
Sophie nodded, and stepped away from Camille. Slowly she raised her arms, and Stefan padded her down quickly, stopping at her boots, where her dagger rested.
"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to take that." He replied, softly.
Sophie nodded, and bent over. Quickly she pulled the dagger from its hidden sheath, and held it out to Stefan.
Stefan nodded, and then turned to Camille. Camille spread her arms outward, and waited for Stefan to finish padding her down. She glanced at Sophie, who was shaking uncontrollably.
"Please, you have to help my friend." She replied, glancing at Stefan, who was straightening.
Stefan glanced at Sophie, and his face filled with concern.
"We've been traveling all night to get here." Camille continued, stepping towards her friend.
Stefan nodded. "I'll see you to your rooms." He stated, turning on his heel. "There will be a guard posted outside the door, in case you need anything." Stefan replied, softly, as Sophie continued shivering.
Camille nodded. "When will we see the king?" She asked, holding her friend close.
Stefan sighed. "You might be able to see him in the morning. I'll let him know that you are here, and he will decide on whether or not to see you." He stated, firmly.
Camille nodded, and looked at her friend softly.
Sophie looked up at Stefan. "Tell him it's Sophie Devereux, and it concerns Marcel." She began, through her shivers. "He'll know what it means." She stated, before she collapsed from the cold and total exhaustion.
"Sophie!" Camille shouted, as she tried to hold her friend up.
Stefan reached forward and picked the young brunette up in his arms, and nodded to the nearest guard. "Get the physician, quickly." He commanded.
The guard nodded, and took off in search of the doctor.
