When the Sun Rises
"Klaus are you serious we are not naming our baby after your psycho mother" Caroline said as she glared daggers at the back of his head. She has had enough of this, there was no way in hell she was going to name her daughter after her crazy mother in-law, who also happens to hate her guts.
"Love my mother is not psychotic, she is just very protective of her favorite son, that's all and she does not hate you, so stop thinking that."
"What are you talking about? She totally hates me, do you not see the way she looks at me whenever we go to Sunday dinner I bet if I wasn't pregnant she would poison me."
"Okay that is a bit too dramatic even for you. You two just need to find something in common, you know that is not me. Maybe you should invite her to go baby shopping with you and your mother."
"Do you not remember what happened when I invited your mom dress shopping, she went total psycho on my bridesmaid, she made Elena and Bonnie cry, and Katherine almost killed her. Elijah would have been sad to see his wife go to jail."
Caroline was still traumatized by that, and quite frankly still mad. Esther had made such a huge scene that she was no longer able to get her bridesmaids dresses from there and had to go to another store. Lets just say that was another thing Esther has ruined in her life. Even though it was 3 years ago she has not and probably will not ever forgive Esther for that. And besides baby shopping is completely different from dress shopping this was more important and Caroline was not going to let Esther ruin this precious moment for her and her mother.
"No Nik I will not ask your mom to join us, she is going to cause another scene, I just know it so please do not make me ask her or your sister to join us. This is very important for my mom and I to do this together, and only us nobody else will be asked to come not even you. Do you understand?"
"I still think you are being a tad bit dramatic but I understand sweetheart. I know how important it is for you and your mother to bond so, I will not ask you to include my mother or sister. But do please try to bond with my mother just for an hour or two."
"I guess I can do that " And she meant it, Caroline knows how important it is to Klaus that she get along with his family, and especially his mother. Klaus might not have had that great of a relationship with his mother when he was younger but Esther has been try hard to get her son to accept her the last few years.
It was quite to shock to Caroline when Klaus told her he invited his mother to their wedding. Since that day all Caroline has tried to do was befriend Esther but it just seemed like Esther was not looking to have a relationship with Caroline only with Klaus. As Caroline looked back at her husband she knows just by looking at his face that he really wants to Caroline and Esther to get along before the baby comes.
It seems like forever that Caroline debates the pros and cons of going baby shopping with Esther, and knowing that if she does this it will bring a smile to her husbands face she decides to give Esther a chance to be a part of their baby's life.
"Okay I will ask your mother if she is interested in going baby shopping with me but, there has to be some sort of ground rules okay." She says while giving him a pointed look.
"That is fine by me love, whatever you want it will go as you wish. Now what are these ground rules of yours?" He says smiling at her.
"Rule number one: your mother can have an input but she will not dictate what I can and cannot buy for the baby. Second she will not criticize me about what I wear and she will not have a say in how we raise our baby is that clear." She says while raising her eyebrow trying to sound intimidating.
"Yes, love we will have total control on how we raise our baby and no one is going to have an opinion or say on it." He reassures her.
"Caroline this is our baby nobody else's we are her parents and in a few months we will be able to give her the love that we did not get when we were kids. You are going to be a great mother and no one is going to tell you how to raise her, I know you are scared but I am going to be here every step of the way."
He tells her knowing she was having doubts on being a good mother to their daughter since she has been having some complications throughout her pregnancy. It sacred even him that something may go wrong and if he loses either one he would not know how to move on. It scares him to know the delivery may go wrong but he knows Caroline will fight hard for their daughter and he was going to show her how strong she really is.
Authors Note: This is my first attempt to writing a Klaroline story. I really love Klaus and Caroline's story, I think it is so beautiful and so full of emotion that I wanted to create my own story about their love. This is a human au. AU's are my favorite genre for klaroline especially when they have a family. I hope you guys enjoy this story and please give me any kind of feedback
