Greetings
It is the start of a new summer. School is over and the holidays begin. There is excitement, hot days, beaches and just fun. Caroline has a feeling that this summer will be different, she can just feel it. Caroline is a single mum of two adorable children, they are her world. She is expecting the father of her children to return after 5 years. She is going to wait for the father of her children. He is supposed to pick them up today, she told him to meet her in the grill but she had no reply.
"Have you had a text yet?" Stefan asked from across the room.
Caroline sighed, "No he hasn't, I mean Seriously after 5 years he would want to see his own flesh and blood?"
"You know what he was like Care, he was scared about the responsibility he had after you had two kids, it was obviously too much for the coward" Stefan stated, he never liked that man. Not one bit.
"I know Stef. I'm glad I have everyone supporting me, especially you and Lexi" Caroline gave him a warm smile.
"So am I. I'm glad to be One of the God parents" he gave her a huge grin.
"So Caroline, what time did you say you was going to meet him?" Lexi said as she came down the stairs.
"erm, in about 2 hours why?" Caroline said, curiously.
"the Kids wanna watch Lion King" Lexi grinned. The two kids came running into the room.
"Please mummy, Uncle Stefan?" Canaan, the five-year old boy, whined.
"Please Auntie Lexi?" Amelia, the four yea old, pouted.
Canaan is a Five year old boy. His Physique is adorable: he has crystal, Blue eyes; soft, spiked, long Brown hair; two dimples and devilish smile. On the other hand, Amelia is a Four-Year old Girl. He physique is like her mothers: she has curly, blonde hair; piercing green eyes like her Uncle Stefan and an innocent smile.
"Brother, what do you say?" Caroline smirked at him.
"Well we have two hours, we have plenty of time" Stefan stated.
Stefan held his arms out to Canaan-Jae, the little boy ran to Stefan and jumped on him and Stefan started to laugh which made Canaan laugh as well. Amelia casually walked over to Lexi and Caroline and sat in between them.
"I love you uncle Stefan" Canaan snuggled into Stefan's shoulder as Stefan pressed play for the movie.
"I love you too buddy" Stefan pressed a kiss on his head.
"mummy?" Amelia whispered.
"Yes darling?"
"Can we get a dog and Call it Simba?" Amelia asked, looking up to her mum.
Canaan's eyes lit up and said, "Yeah mummy can we get a dog? Maybe two"
"we will see, okay" Caroline told her children, softly.
"Okay. I love this part" Amelia said. Her and Canaan started to sing,
I'm gonna be a mighty king,
so enemies Beware,
Canaan began to sing.
Well, I've never seen a king of beasts,
With quite so little hair,
Amelia sang,
I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my roar
Canaan and Amelia continued to sing when they said,
"Come on, sing with us mummy, Uncle Stefan and Auntie Lexi" They pleaded with a pout and wide eyes.
"Okay" They said in unison which made the children beam with excitement.
In the Mystic Grill, Elijah, Elena, Rebekah and Matt were there. Matt was working behind the bar as Rebekah, Elijah and Elena were playing a game of American pool. Elijah was watching his wife beat his sister. He is happily married to his true love, Elena Gilbert. They met through Caroline. Rebekah however, she is dating Matt Donovan. Matt owned the Mystic Grill after the owner passed away 3 years ago. They were waiting for Caroline, Stefan and Lexi to come with the kids.
"Hey love, when is Caroline coming?" Elijah asked his wife.
"I don't know. Last time I texted Caroline she said that the kids wanted to watch Lion King" Elena smiled, she knew it was their favourite film as it was also hers, Caroline and Bonnie's when they were younger.
"Lion King" Elijah furrowed his eyebrows.
"Come on Elijah, that is a great film for old times" Rebekah teased her brother.
"I know Bekah" Elijah chuckled.
"Come on lets finish this game" Elena shouted in excitement. Elijah kissed her on the cheek and played a shot, hitting the stripe ball.
"Hey ain't that Damon?" Elena said pointing to the bar.
"well would you look at that" Rebekah said under her breath.
"Hey, Damon!" Elijah shouted over the music. Damon glanced in their direction and saluted before going back to his drink.
"Is he still arguing with Andie?" Rebekah asked.
Elena shrugged, "Only Stefan can tell"
"I'll be back in a minute, okay" He briefly kissed Elena on the lips.
"Where are you going?" Elena called, confused.
"I'm going to ring Niklaus, he is supposed to visit this week" Elijah explained before leaving the Grill.
Elijah took out his iPhone and scrolled through his contact list until he found his brother. Niklaus answered on the second ring.
"Wow record brother, second ring this time" Elijah chuckled, Klaus laughed.
" 'Lijah, what do I owe the pleasure?" Klaus asked.
"I was wondering if you are still coming down this week?" Elijah asked, hopeful that he would.
"Of course brother, I'm on the highway about 30 minutes away" Klaus stated.
"Okay then, I'll see you soon"
"Goodbye brother" Klaus hung up and Elijah let out a breath he held in. Elijah walked back into the Grill and walked towards the bar.
"hey Elijah, what you having" Matt asked, politely.
"I'll have two Bourbons please and two gin and tonics, Matt"
"Sure coming up" Matt smiled at Elijah.
"Thanks, mate" a smile appeared on Elijah's face as he saw his brother Finn and his Wife Sage with his two nephews. Matt placed Elijah's order and Elijah smiled at him and walked back to Elena and Rebekah. They were playing another game of pool when Elijah arrived. They both smiled when they saw him approaching them.
"Gin and Tonics" he handed them their drink.
"Thank you" they both said in unison.
"Finn is here" Elijah stated, matter-of-fact.
"He is?" Elijah pointed towards the table his brother and Sage is sitting at with the twins. They started to walk towards the table.
"Julian, Grayson" Elena called. The twins turned their heads to the people who were calling them and beamed as they saw Elena, Elijah and Rebekah.
The twins got up from their seat and ran towards open arms. They giggled into the arms of Rebekah and Elijah and wrapped their arms around their necks as they picked them up.
Grayson had Milky, Blonde wavy hair with ice, blue eyes and had one dimple on his left cheek. Grayson has a warm, kind smile that make you smile. However, Julian has Black, long windswept hairstyle that is just above his dark, brown eyes. Julian has a dimple on his right cheek when he smiles.
"Elijah, Elena and Bekah" Finn saluted them.
Sage got up from where she sat and Hugged Rebekah and then Elena.
"Hello girls" Sage beamed at them. They all glanced to the Grill entrance as someone came in.
"Hello everyone" Klaus came through the doors and smiled at everyone.
Caroline, Stefan, Lexi and the Kids were in the car. They were at least 10 minutes away from the Grill. The kids were getting excited that they are going to see Grayson and Julian, they kids were best friends. They were now at the parking lot outside of the Mystic Grill and Caroline and Stefan got out of the car to let the Children get out and they ran into the Grill screaming with laughter. As Caroline, Lexi and Stefan made their way into the Grill, Caroline saw her children run up to a man standing near the bar.
"Mommy, Mommy is that daddy?" Canaan said, looking up at a man on the stool.
"Canaan, Amelia" Caroline called.
"But mommy" Amelia cried.
"Amelia, I'm sorry darling, but he is not your dad" Caroline kissed her head. Amelia began to cry.
"Hey, baby girl. Don't cry okay" Caroline hugged her children and said, "Go find your friends okay"
"Okay" they both said and beamed at her then took off.
Caroline looked up to a man staring at her, amused. He was very attractive, she hasn't seen him before.
"Erm, sorry about that" Caroline apologized.
"Hey, no worries..." the man said.
"Caroline" she offered him her hand and he took it.
"Name's Niklaus" he said in a low, sexy accent. I've heard that accent before, but where... she thought.
"thanks for understanding, just that they were suppose to meet their dad today" Caroline explained.
"Do they do this often?" Klaus chuckled which made Caroline laugh.
"I'm afraid so." Caroline stated.
"Haven't they met their dad?" Klaus wondered.
"Yes but four years ago when Amelia was born. He just left. He couldn't handle it. Since then, he hasn't made any effort to see them or me" Caroline said sadly.
"Well he is a fool to leave such a beautiful women and adorable kids" Klaus reassured her.
"thanks" Caroline looked at him when she heard a familiar voice.
Caroline turned around to see Elijah walking towards her.
"Elijah" she kissed his cheek as he kissed hers.
"Caroline, where are the little bubbles of joy?" Elijah asked.
"They are with Grayson, Finn, Sage and Julian. They were excited to see them again" Caroline told him. Klaus looked at them, confused.
Elijah looked at the person behind Caroline and said, "I guess you have already met my brother" Elijah smiled to Klaus.
"He's your brother? No wonder I recognise the accent" Caroline said, shocked.
"Brother, how do you know Caroline?" Klaus wondered.
"We use to date" Elijah stated.
"Don't worry Niklaus, I've heard so much about you" Caroline teased.
"Really," He said, amused. "and please call me Klaus" Caroline nodded.
"Elijah what have you done to my Best friend?" Caroline asked, putting on an angry tone.
Elijah narrowed his eyes, "Are you angry?"
"Don't sass my mister" she couldn't contain her laugh. Elijah began to laugh as well.
"she is at the Pool table with Rebekah"
"okay" Caroline turned on her heels and walked over to Rebekah and Elena.
Elijah and Klaus made their way to the booth where Finn, Sage, two other people and the twins sat with two other kids. Klaus sat next to Finn as Elijah sat next to a Blonde girl.
"Stefan and Lexi, this is my brother Klaus" Elijah introduced them.
"Hello Klaus" Stefan gave him a warm smile.
"And Klaus I guess you have already met Canaan and Amelia" Elijah asked.
"Yeah I have and what an introduction that was" Klaus smiled at the two young children.
"Yes and they are my God children" Elijah stated, matter-of-fact.
"Really?" Klaus' eyes widened.
"They are also our God children mister Mikaelson" Lexi said, giving Elijah a trade mark grin.
"Yes they are"
"So they have four God parents?" Klaus asked.
"Yes and I guess when they called you their father, Caroline explained why?" Stefan asked.
"Yeah and I think that their dad is stupid" Klaus mumbled.
"That he is and he is the coward" Finn said, annoyed.
"Who is their Father?" Klaus wondered.
"If he turns up you'll find out but if he doesn't, well his name is Tyler" Sage said, her focus went back to the Kids playing.
"Canaan, Amelia" Stefan called them.
"Yes Uncle Stefan" they both said.
Stefan tapped his leg and the two children got up and sat on his and Lexis's leg. Canaan looked up at Stefan with a confused expression on his face.
"Gosh don't you look like your mother" Stefan said looking at Canaan.
"No I don't. I'm a boy, mommy is a girl" Canaan placed his arms across his chest and pouted.
Everyone at the table began to laugh and Canaan got a bit annoyed.
"Stop laughing at me Uncle Stefan or I'll beat you up again" Canaan gave him a mischievous smile.
"Oh not do won't" Stefan ruffled Canaan's hair.
"Uncle Elijah, tell him" Canaan whined.
"Stefan leave the poor boy alone" Elijah chuckled.
"Okay," Stefan turned his attention to Amelia,
"Amelia, your like your mom ain't you" Stefan said, lovingly.
"Uncle Stefan, get to the point" she bossed him.
"Yes miss Salvatore" he put on a serious face.
"Do you remember this man?" Stefan pointed at Klaus. They kids nodded.
"This is Klaus, It is Uncle Elijah's, Auntie Rebekah and Finn's Brother"
"Uncle Elijah has a Big Family" Amelia stated.
"Yes I do" Elijah chuckled. Canaan sighed.
"What's wrong little man?" Finn asked.
Canaan looked up at them and shook his head, annoyed.
"It's just that, I thought I might see my dad after five years. I think I might have been the reason he left or me and Amelia. When my sister was born, he left. He left me, mommy and Amelia alone. Uncle Stefan I want a daddy, I don't want my mommy to be alone. I want her to be happy like Uncle Elijah and Auntie Elena is. I want a dad that will take me to baseball games, soccer games. I want someone who will love my mommy like I love her" Tears began to fall down his face.
Everyone had teary eyes at the little boys speech and he clung on to Amelia as if his life depends on it.
"Amelia I will never leave you. Always and forever" Canaan whispered a bit to loudly.
"Always and forever, Family above all" Amelia hugged her brother.
"Canaan, you have us. We love you little man, we will never leave you and your mommy" Stefan hugged his nephew.
"I know Uncle Stefan. I just want a Dad, is that too much to ask for?" Canaan asked his uncle.
"I guess not. But me, Elijah, Finn, Kol and maybe even Klaus can take you to games like soccer and baseball" Stefan tried to reassure him.
"Really?" Canaan beamed at him.
"Of course" they said in unison.
Canaan jumped off Stefan's lap after giving him a hug and raced to Elijah, Finn and Klaus and gave them a hug.
"Klaus?" Canaan called, embracing Klaus.
"Yes Canaan"
"I know I've just met you but are you staying with Uncle Elijah?"
"Yes I am" Klaus smiled at the boy. Canaan gave him a trade mark smile showing him his dimples and bright teeth.
"Can we visit you?" Amelia asked.
"I'm not sure if you mom will agree but if she does, I'd be happy to" Klaus said.
"Okay, Uncle Elijah?" Amelia shouted.
"Yes, love"
"When can we see the horses again?"
"When ever your mom comes round which i think will be tomorrow" Elijah explained to the young kids.
"Okay" they said in unsion.
Amelia went to Sage and Finn and said, "Guess what?"
"What?" they said smiling at the two.
"My mom might be getting us two dogs"
"Really? What breed?" Sage asked.
"Breed?" Amelia had a confused expression on her face.
"What type of dog?" Finn rephrased Sage's words.
"Two Si..Sibe...erm" she pouted.
"Siberian husky" Stefan correct her.
"Wow when are you getting them?" Finn asked.
"I don't know. mommy said she will think about it" Canaan said as he approached Elijah and gripped on to his leg.
"Do you want me to ask her tomorrow?" Elijah offered.
"Yes!" Canaan simply stated.
"Okay then, do you two want to continue playing?" Stefan asked from the booth.
"Yes" They said and began running to the play area.
"Julian, Grayson we might be getting dogs" Canaan called to them.
"Canaan, Amelia don't run!" Caroline called as she approached the group with Elena and Rebekah.
"So what have you guy been doing?"
It has been three hours and Tyler, the father of her children, still haven't came. She sat there waiting with Stefan, Lexi and Klaus while Rebekah is talking to Matt behind the bar and Sage, Finn, Elijah and Elena are playing two verses two on the pool table. The twins sat next to their Uncle Klaus while Canaan sat on Stefan's lap, asleep while Amelia laid along the chair with her head on Caroline's lap. They have been playing non stop for the past three hours and their father is not coming.
"This is just fantastic" Caroline mumbled looking at her phone. It is 11pm at night and still no Tyler.
"You know what he is like Care" Stefan tried to reassure her.
"I know. I just thought he could have the decency to see his kids" she said, annoyance clear in her voice.
"To be honest Caroline, you don't need him. You have us" Lexi stated.
"I know but I thought...never mind" Caroline huffed.
"It's okay Care, when you next see him or If you ever see him...Just punch him, in the face" Stefan said.
Caroline and Lexi burst into laughter as Klaus chuckled. This made Canaan wake up.
"Did daddy come?" Canaan slurred, sleepily.
"No baby boy, he didn't" a tear formed in Caroline's eye.
"Okay," Canaan stroked her cheek, "It's okay mommy. We don't need him, you have me, Amelia, Uncle Stefan, Damon, Elijah, Finn, Kol and now Klaus to act like a Father figure that I need until you meet someone who will love you, me and Amelia. I just want you to be happy mommy." Canaan explained and then lowered his head, "He didn't come because of me" Canaan mumbled.
"Hey little man, your father doesn't know what he is missing. You're a great kid and it's too bad that he can't see it" Klaus said to the little boy.
"I like him mommy" Canaan said.
"Do you now?" Caroline looked at Klaus and smiled.
"Yes, he is nice to me and Amelia" Canaan stated, sleepily.
"It is because you two are damn adorable" Lexi cooed.
"I know" Canaan replied.
"Come on let's get you two home, I need to go to the bathroom" Caroline said, getting out of the booth.
"I need to go as well" Lexi said, following Caroline.
"Stefan, could you put the kids in the car please" Caroline called.
"Okay" Stefan shouted back.
Stefan put Amelia into his arms and said, "Could you grab Canaan please?" Stefan said looking at Klaus.
"Erm, Sure What about these two" Klaus pointed at Julian and Grayson.
Stefan walked up to the bar and asked Matt if he could look after the twins.
"Yeah sure, is Caroline now going?" Matt asked.
"Yeah, the jerk never turned up" Stefan growled.
"Don't worry, she'll find someone" Matt tried to reassure him.
"I hope your right" Stefan mumbled.
"What about him?" Matt said, pointing to Klaus.
"Who? Klaus?" Stefan said, dumbfounded.
"Look at him, he is caring for Canaan, picking him up and protectively placing to his chest" Matt stated the obvious.
"So, I asked him"
"But did you ask him to be nice to him, he thinks Caroline is Beautiful"
"She is though. My sister is amazing" Stefan defended her.
"Okay, okay. I was just saying. I think he is a genuine guy" Matt replied.
Stefan turned on his heels with Amelia in his arms and walked over to Klaus who had Canaan in his arms. Canaan arms were wrapped around Klaus' neck and Stefan just chuckled.
"He likes you" Stefan said, returning to Klaus.
"He and his Sister are Talented yet smart for their age" Klaus mumbled, looking at Canaan.
"Yes, they have a tutor since they turned three" Stefan shrugged.
"I feel sorry for them" Klaus said.
"For who?" Stefan said, confused.
Klaus looked up at Stefan and said, "They have been absent of a father for some time," Klaus shook his head, "It isn't right for them, nor Caroline"
Stefan was shocked, Klaus only just meet them. Then again a lot of people have said that. Klaus is right, they shouldn't have gone through that. They deserve a father.
"Why do you seem upset?" Stefan wondered.
Klaus chuckled, "I'm not upset. I feel bad for them, I know what it is like to grow up without a father"
"Elijah's father,. wasn't he your father?" Stefan asked.
Klaus shook his head, "No, he was my Step-father. My mom had an affair and I paid the price for it"
"Meaning?"
"I don't want to talk about it" Klaus grumbled.
"Okay, on to another subject" Stefan began walking to the entrance of the Grill.
"What?" Klaus asked, following him.
"Do you like Sports?"
"Yeah why?" Klaus furrowed his brow.
"Then if your planning on sticking around, You'll have a lot of fun playing with Canaan" Stefan grinned at him.
"why?"
"Canaan loves Sport, he is brilliant at it. He likes you, he'd want to play soccer with you" Stefan explained.
"Soccer?" Klaus's eyes widened as Stefan opened the car door, placing Amelia in the seat.
Stefan put the seatbelt around Amelia as Klaus did the Same to Canaan.
"Yes, it is his favourite game" Stefan replied, amused with Klaus' expression.
"I like him even more" Klaus mumbled, Stefan heard him and smiled.
They turned around to find Caroline and Lexi coming out of the Grill, they were smiling at the men. Caroline kissed Stefan on the cheek and then looked at Klaus.
"It was a pleasure to meet you Klaus" Caroline said, extending her hand.
"Ditto" Klaus smiled warmly at her.
"Thank you for putting Canaan in the Car. He really likes you" Caroline said shyly, putting a strand of hair behind her ear.
"He is a great lad"
"That he is" Stefan said proudly.
"You have bright Children Caroline, Don't let that guy put you down okay" Klaus questioned her.
"Okay. I guess we might see you tomorrow then" Caroline told him.
"Sure"
"Come on Caroline, we need to stick these monsters in bed" Lexi called making Caroline laugh.
"Okay. Goodbye Klaus"
"Goodbye love" Klaus said, low and huskily.
Caroline got into the car before waving back at her friends that exitted the Grill. She was now on her way home, with a smile on her face.
