Hello! Yes, you are not dreaming I'm starting yet another story. I don't know where I am going with this story, I just had the idea and I needed to write it down so I did and I must admit this is (like all of my stories I am aware) a little twisted, I can't help it I have a twisted mind.

I hope you'll enjoy this story as well :)

Thank you to Anneliese Bain for beta'ing the first chapter of this story for me.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters but the plot is mine.

Chapter 1

It was a beautiful sunny day, birds singing in the beautiful blue sky, children laughing and running in the streets with their parents smiling and asking them to be careful. Couples holding hands, an old couple was walking with their little dog and talking animatedly to one another, everyone seemed happy. In the middle of all that happiness stood Caroline.

Caroline couldn't even notice how happy everyone was, she couldn't see the beautiful blue sky or hear the birds singing. All Caroline could see was a dull world, the sadness was consuming her and turning everything in a sick gray. She looked down at the small baby that she was hugging lovingly in her arms. Her little baby, her little boy who looked so much like his father that she still loves unconditionally, but hadn't seen in a year. Those piercing blue eyes looking into hers, reminding her of his father's eyes. She sighed, she would have the opportunity to see those eyes again today, in a few minutes, but it would not last long.

She looked back up as tears filled her eyes. It was the right thing to do, it was the only way; she had to do this. She walked toward the house she had been so accustomed to a year ago and stopped in front of the front door. She didn't even know if he would be there. What was she talking about, she perfectly knew he would be there, she just hoped he wouldn't, she hoped she would have to come back later and have a little more time. She looked down at the cute three months old baby.

"Mommy loves you, baby. Never forget that, mommy would do anything for you," Caroline whispered, tears falling down her cheeks. The baby boy smiled, unaware of the situation and grabbed Caroline's necklace to play with it.

A sad smile appeared on Caroline's face, he always played with her necklace. She took it off with her free hand and circled it around the baby's small wrist, he giggled happily which brought a bright smile to Caroline's lips even though her eyes showed nothing else than sadness.

"Here, it's yours now. Always keep it with you, as long as you have it I'll always be here with you. Not that I won't be here if you don't have it, I'll always love you." Caroline said before drying her tears and looking up at the front door of the big house once more.

Caroline raised her trembling hand and knocked on the door before she had time to think about what she was doing, too scared that she would change her mind. She worriedly looked behind her but no one was there so she turned back toward the door, she must look like a mess. After a few more seconds the door opened to reveal the person she dreaded seeing the most standing in front of her. It was him, it was Klaus. He looked surprised when he saw her, but soon enough his features became emotionless. Typical Klaus, he wouldn't show any emotion but she knew him, she knew him better than anyone else, even if she couldn't see any emotion on his face it didn't mean he didn't feel anything.

"I must say I'm surprised." He stated curtly, "What do you want?" It was the first time in a year that he was seeing her. When he opened the door his heart stopped beating, hell he didn't know if it had started beating again or not. The only woman he had ever loved, the only woman he still loves and would forever love was standing in front of him after an entire year.

"Klaus..." Caroline trailed off, not knowing what to say. Her voice, Klaus had forgotten how much he loved to hear that voice. Something was off about her though, she was slimmer than she had been a year ago, too slim, he hadn't even looked at her body and he knew that only looking at her face. He looked down at her body and only then did he realize that she had a small child in her arms, holding onto it for dear's life.

"What is that? Is that why you left me without as much as a goodbye?" Klaus snapped angrily, "Did you leave me because you were pregnant with another man's child?" Caroline's lower lip started to tremble, she was so beautiful, but something was different, she was too thin, too pale, something was wrong. The baby started to cry as well and Caroline's attention was brought on it.

"Ssh, ssh, baby, mommy is here, don't cry." Caroline whispered as her eyes filled with tears once more. She had made herself a promise that she wouldn't cry in front of Klaus, but she wasn't strong enough to keep her word. She looked up at Klaus again, "This is my baby, and I didn't leave you because I was pregnant with another man's child, Klaus. This is your child. How can you think that I've cheated on you, I would never-" Caroline started but Klaus cut her off.

"I don't even know if I can believe you." Klaus said with a dark chuckle, "But something is for sure, Caroline, and listen closely, if and I say if, this child is in fact mine, and that you left me, without even warning me of its existence, if you took my child away from me, even if it was only for a few months, I give you my word that I will make you suffer."

Caroline swallowed, there was no love in his voice. Where was the love she used to hear every time he would talk to her? Even when they were fighting she would hear it, but there was no love in his voice at that very moment. She heard nothing but hatred.

"How will you make me suffer, Klaus? By taking the child away from me? Don't worry there is no need." Caroline yelled as her tears eventually dropped down her cheeks.

"Why?" Klaus asked in a calmer voice, taking her aback, "Why did you leave me? I would have done anything for you Caroline, I would have died for you."

"Because I would do anything for you and I would die for you." Caroline explained knowing he wouldn't understand what she meant.

"This is ridiculous." He snapped once more, "And why did you leave me if you were pregnant with my child? Do you hate me so much, that you would deny me my own flesh and blood?"

"I don't hate you, Klaus, I swear I don't hate you. I love you." Caroline begged.

"If you loved me you would have never left me." Klaus said coldly, "What's my child's name?"

Caroline ignored the way he changed the subject and turned toward her baby as a small sad smile appeared on her lips, "His name is Aiden, he has your eyes and your lips. He is three months old." She explained before looking up at Klaus too see that he was looking at Aiden intensely.

After a few seconds he cleared his throat, "Can I hold him?" He asked with a calm voice.

"Can you give me a minute, please." Caroline turned around for more privacy, "Aiden, baby, I love you. I will come back, I swear, I will come back." She whispered so Klaus couldn't hear what she was saying.

Caroline turned back around to face a frowning Klaus, he seemed confused. She ignored it and took a step closer towards Klaus to give him the baby. Klaus took a step closer as well and extended his hands toward Aiden, his son, if Caroline was indeed saying the truth. Caroline kissed Aiden's forehead before handing him to Klaus who took him in his arms bringing him closer to his chest.

Klaus looked down at Aiden in his arms and a smile appeared on his lips as the baby grabbed his shirt, pulling on it and giggling. Klaus had to admit that Aiden's eyes looked a lot like his as well as his lips, he couldn't deny it, but other than that he looked so much like his mother, so cute, so beautiful. After an entire year Klaus felt a glimmer of hope, if Aiden was his son then he would forever have something linking him to Caroline, she couldn't run away from him anymore. If this baby was his then he would cherish it with all of his heart because it was the result of his love for Caroline, his undying love for her. He had been miserable without her for the last year, he had pushed everyone away. His siblings kept calling him or coming over, but it wasn't what it used to be. His paintings were so dark, he had lost some clients who preferred his lighter paintings. His thoughts were broken when Caroline talked and only then did he realize that she was crying.

"Can you promise me something? Promise me you'll take care of him." Caroline begged again as a sob escaped her lips and Klaus frowned.

"What are you talking about? Caroline?" Klaus asked as Caroline took a step back from him and Aiden. Klaus took a step toward her, feeling his heart being broken all over again.

"Please forgive me, Klaus," she sobbed, "forgive me."

"No, Caroline wait." Klaus said and he sounded so broken that Caroline felt this horrible pain in her chest, the one she had felt several times since she had left him, "Do you hate me so much that you can't even keep the result of our love? What have I done?" Caroline had never heard him sounding so broken.

More tears fell down Caroline's cheeks as she took a step closer to him, cupped his face between her small hands, feeling his stubble under her fingers, gosh it felt good, she had missed it so much. She brought her face closer to his and placed a small peck on his lips, his oh so kissable lips, before pulling away staying inches away from his face.

"I don't hate you, Klaus. I love you and this is why I have to do this." She said and Klaus frowned and Caroline turned around before running away on her trembling legs as sobs escaped her lips.

"Caroline," Klaus yelled and Aiden started to cry but Caroline was already gone. Klaus looked down at the baby in his arms and a sad smile appeared on his lips, "Ssh, I'm here, I'm here for you. Even if you are not my child, I will be here for you little boy, daddy's here." Klaus whispered. Because even if Caroline had lied and Aiden was not his child, he was still Caroline's child, and Caroline was the woman of Klaus' life. Caroline was the only woman he would ever love and she was gone.

I know the first chapter is short, I always have some difficulties starting a new story. Please tell me what you think about it and review :)

I will update chapter 2 in the following weeks because it's already written.

As for my other stories, I will update them after 24th June because I have exams and I don't have time to write so I can only update what is already written for now, sorry.
