And here is the second chapter - enjoy!


A Bright Start

It was a bright and sunny morning. The sky was clear and as blue as ever. The morning was like no other. Today was a special day for Caroline as it was Canaan's birthday. He is six today and it saddened Caroline that soon he won't be her little boy no more. The birds were singing to the morning shine as dogs barked at the local post man. The smell of fresh-cut grass and leaves gave the air a nice, beautiful, natural scent. There was a lingering of cherry pie that the neighbours bake every morning. Caroline was suddenly jolted awake to the screams of happiness coming from her little boy.

"Mommy, Mommy wake up!" Canaan screamed.

"Come on Mommy! It's Canaan's birthday" Amelia cried out in joy.

They have to be the best kids she has ever met and they are hers.

"Okay, Okay" Caroline chuckled.

Canaan and Amelia ran up to Caroline as she was about to get out of bed when they jumped on her making her fall back on the bed, laughing.

"What am I going to do with you?" Caroline asked.

"First, I demand pancakes" Canaan protested.

"Well, ain't you a demanding little fella" Caroline cooed.

"Yes and an adorable one I am" Canaan replied kissing her on the cheek.

"I love you mommy" Canaan whispered.

"I love you too, both of you" Caroline hugged her too children.

What had she done to deserve these kids. They are well-mannered, kind, caring, intelligent and quite unique. Caroline is the most happiest mother in the world at this moment and no one could change it, not even their pathetic father.

"I love you mommy" Amelia called.

Caroline picked up the two children in her arms.

"What do you want on your pancakes, darling?" Caroline asked.

"Fruit" they said in unison.

"Seriously if anyone didn't know you two, they'd think you are twins" Caroline giggled.

"Mommy I like it when you giggle" Canaan rested his head into Caroline shoulder.

"Me too" Amelia agreed.

"It is because you make me happy" Caroline replied, happily.

"I know" Canaan gave her a smirk.

Caroline entered the kitchen to find Stefan and Lexi sitting at the table with already made pancakes. Stefan looked up and grinned as he saw Caroline and the kids clinging on to their mother. Caroline put Canaan and Amelia down on to the floor and they ran towards the table that contained Pancakes with lots of different fruit.

"Happy Birthday, Cay-Jae" Stefan ruffled Canaan's hair.

"Uncle Stefan?" Canaan looked up to his Uncle.

"Yes?" Stefan furrowed his brow.

"Don't call me Cay-Jae...It's not cool Sneffy" Canaan gave him a playful grin.

"Did you just call me Sneffy?" Stefan's eyes widened, amused.

"Oh...I did. What you gonna do?" Canaan challenged.

"For a boy, you've got nerves" Stefan mocked.

"Well, I have nerves in my body. So I guess your right" Canaan replied.

Caroline and Lexi bursted out in laughter at the banter going on between her son and her brother. Her son is pretty smart of a six-year-old.

"Mommy are we going to Uncle Elijah's today?" Amelia asked as she finished her breakfast.

"Yeah sure Canaan's party is round their" at this, Canaan clapped his hands together with a boyish laughter.

"I wonder what he got me?" Canaan said with excitement.

"You'll have to wait and see. Go and get changed okay" and with that the kids dashed upstairs.


At the Mikaelson Mansion, Elijah, Rebekah, Elena and Kol are getting everything ready for Canaan's party today. It is also a friend of Canaan's birthday as well which there are double the amount of presents. The room is decorated in Navy blue and Aqua blue with ribbons dangling everywhere. Rebekah and Sage prepared the cake for them this morning, putting the decorations on it. The cake is triple chocolate sponge with jam layers. Klaus and Finn had been out to get the other presents as Klaus forgot to bring the presents from home.

"Got the presents" Klaus called from the door.

"Great bring them in" Elijah shouted to his younger brother.

"Where do you want them" Finn asked.

"Just put them near the fireplace" Rebekah yelled from the kitchen.

"They are going to be here soon" Elena mumbled.

"Don't worry, love. He is going to love it" Elijah gestured around the room.

"Of course Elena" Rebekah reassured her.

"I can't wait to see the little munchkins" Kol beamed. He loved hanging out with Canaan and Amelia.

"So how long have you know Caroline and her Kids?" Klaus asked, curious.

"I've known her for 23 years" Elena replied.

"I've known her 12 years" Rebekah replied.

"As have I" Elijah responded.

"And I about 10 years my dear brother" Kol acknowledged.

"Then how come I have never met her until yesterday?" Klaus wanted to know.

"Because brother unlike you, we actually paid attention to her" Kol stated.

"Meaning?" Klaus wondered.

"Klaus, when we were in high school, Caroline was a shy, insecure girl and people didn't respect her like they do now. People barely spoke to her and you of course was focused on Football. She didn't really blend in, she was scared that people would reject her. She had Canaan at 17-years-old, but she still managed to go to College but after two years she was left defending for herself with a one-year-old and a newborn. She is not that girl anymore and if you would have hung out with us, you may have met Caroline" Elijah explained.

"You must have brung her home? why didn't I meet her then?" Klaus asked.

"You were to busy doing god knows what with the cheerleaders" Kol stated, gagging.

"Oh okay" Klaus looked towards the floor, embarrassed.

"I hear a car" a teenage boy called from the stairs.


Caroline began to pull into the driveway of the Mikaelson Mansion. Her two kids jumping up and down in the back seat as Stefan is trying so hard to keep them still. Today will be a great day, she can feel it in her bones. No today will be prefect. She just hope that Canaan likes the present that she still needs to get. As they came to a halt, Stefan and Lexi got out of the car and picked up the two children in their arms. Canaan was fighting Stefan's hold so Stefan let the energetic boy onto the gravel pathway. Canaan ran ahead of everyone and pounded on the door. Within a few seconds a teenage boy answered the door.

"Canaan" The young boy called.

"Henrick" Canaan beamed at him.

"Come here little man" Henrick embraced Canaan.

"Happy Birthday Henrick" Canaan whispered.

"Happy Birthday Canaan" Henrick released Canaan and Henrick smiled as he saw the other four approaching the door.

"Caroline, Stefan and Lexi" Henrick saluted them before holding his arms out from Amelia.

"Henwick" Amelia beamed at the Brown haired boy with a grin.

"Hey princess" Henrick cooed.

Caroline's family is the closest he has ever had to a second family. He loved playing soccer with Canaan and drawing with Amelia as she is quiet talented for such a young age.

"Happy Birthday Henry" Caroline smiled at him.

"Happy Birthday" Lexi and Stefan said in unison.

"Thanks, come on in everyone is waiting for you" Henrick leaded them into the living room which was beautifully decorated in Navy Blue and Aqua Blue. It kind of made sense as Canaan loves Aqua Blue while Henrick Loves Navy Blue. Henrick is turning 16 today as well as Canaan turning 6.

Elijah, Sage, Finn, Klaus, Elena, Kol, Rebekah and Matt were sitting in the living room in a deep conversation. Where is Bonnie? Caroline thought. Caroline and the rest entered the Living room and everyone turned towards them with a loving smile. Canaan ran to his non-biological Family as he embraced them. Canaan let out a wave of giggles that were filling the room causing everyone to smile and laugh with him.

"Uncle Elijah" Canaan beamed.

"Happy Birthday" Elijah replied.

Canaan searched the room for a person in particular and when he didn't see him, he pouted.

"What's wrong Canaan?" Sage asked the boy.

"Where is Uncle Damon?" Canaan asked, grumpily.

"He is having issues with Andie, mate" Kol knelt to his level.

"What happened?" Canaan questioned Kol.

"They argued, mate" Kol replied with a grin.

Canaan sighed, "When don't they argue" Canaan shrugged.

"True" Kol said, bemused.

"Canaan, Henrick...Do you want to play soccer outside?" Stefan offered the boys.

"Yeah" they both said, excitedly.

"Come on then" Stefan offered Canaan his hand and he took it without thought.

Canaan turned back to glance at the other males.

"Uncle 'lijah, Uncle Kol, Uncle Finn and Klaus...Get your bottom outside" Canaan shouted, commanding them without any questions what so ever.

As Canaan, Stefan, Amelia and Henrick was outside the men turned towards Caroline and began to laugh.

"Your son is ever so demanding" Elijah stated, chuckling.

"I wonder where he got that from" Caroline smirked, looking at Elijah.

"That is true Caroline, Canaan has picked up that trait" Kol laughed.

"Don't think your innocent Kol, Canaan can be quiet cocky because of you" Lexi said, narrowing her eyes at him.

Kol put his hand over his heart and gasped, "How could you say such thing?"

"It's true Kol but he is rather dramatic like you as well" Caroline shrugged. Her face saddened.

"What's wrong Care?" Sage asked the sad blonde.

Caroline let out a sigh, "It's just...It's just" she looked at the people that are paying attention to her, she shock her head.

"Care, you can talk to us" Kol offered.

"It's just I thought Canaan grew up without a Father but it turns out her has Grown up with three father figures despite the attitude my son has because of you" Caroline laughed at the last bit. Caroline had tears forming in her eyes and she looked away.

"aw, Care. You'll always have us even though we aren't blood related to Canaan and Amelia but they are like family no matter what" Elijah reassured her as he embraced her. "You're not alone in this" Elijah kissed her forehead.

Klaus stood there stunned. The amount of love that his family has over a family that is not blood related to him was unbelievable. Do they feel the same way about him? Klaus thought. Mikael his father never had, he'd always abuse him even if he done nothing wrong. Once before his father tried to drown him because he lost a fish when him and Mikael went fishing. When his dad died, he found out that he wasn't his biological father and yet his mother never defended him nor loved him like she loved his siblings. He is a bastard child with a shit upbringing. He knows no one would love him, so he doesn't love back. Love is a weakness his father said to him once. He didn't deserve someones love yet a childs.

"I actually need someones help?" Caroline finally spoke.

"What do you need?" Finn asked, leaning against the wall.

"Well I need two people that will carry two heavy objects?" Caroline looked around.

"I can go" Kol offered with a mischevious grin.

"I have to prepare the cake and food sorry" Sage said as her, Finn and Elena went into the Kitchen. Elijah and Klaus were left.

"My apologise Care, I have to play soccer with an impatient little boy" Elijah grinned before walking towards the back garden.

"Looks like it is me and you two" Caroline smirked looking towards Klaus and Kol.


As they were driving down the highstreet of the town, Kol was in the back as Klaus and Caroline were in the front of the car. Caroline didn't want Kol in the front because he kept fiddling with the musoc channels and it annoyed her. Kol started whinning because Caroline wouldn't tell him where they were heading.

"Caroline, why do I have to sit in the back?" Kol whined. He hate sitting in the back of the SUV.

"Kol you are rather annoying when you're in front" Caroline replied, truthfully.

"Hurtful" Kol pouted. Klaus laughed at his brother as he looked at him through the wind mirror.

"What's funny Nik?" Kol glared at his brother.

"Your pouting like a boy who didn't get a toy, brother" At this, Caroline burst in to laughter.

"Shut up Nik" Kol hissed.

"Caroline don't laugh too much, you might lose control" Klaus said, deeply serious.

"Oh, sorry" Caroline whispered, embarrassed.

"It's okay love" Klaus smirked at as he glanced out of the window.

"So Caroline where are we going?" Kol asked once again.

"Look" Caroline pointed at a building as the car came to a halt.

"A pet store" Kol questioned.

"Yes?" Caroline replied.

"Why?" Klaus simply asked.

"Canaan wanted a puppy so I'm gonna get him one" Caroline replied as she got out of the car.

"Do you always buy them what they want?" Klaus wondered.

"Yes and No?" Caroline replied as she grabbed her purse from the car.

"Yes they do Caroline" Kol called.

" No they don't Kol. My kids are not spoilt if that is what you're implying Klaus. I have a rule that my kids oblige by. If you want something you have to earn it. No to brag or anything but my kids earn their toys. My son is the smartest and best at sports in his year as he's been tutored since a young age and was asked to focus strongly on one subject, he chose sport. As for my daughter, she's been tutored at a young age and focused on Art as her main focus, she has gotten rewards because she's talented for a girl of four and Kol she even drew you a god damn picture. Do not tell me my kids are spoilt okay" Caroline's anger was rising to its limits, she began to cry again.

Kol came up to her and held her at arms lengths "I was only kidding Care. I know they aren't spoilt, I've been to all of their awards evenings and competitions" Kol hugged her.

"I'm still mad at you" Caroline grumbled.

"I know. So what made you go on a rant" Kol's soft eyes burned into hers.

"You know how hard I try to make their life's great. I love them Kol and I want them to do well. I buy them things because they deserve them" Caroline wiped the tear from her eyes with the back of her hands.

"Come on let's get those puppies" Kol smiled and both Klaus and Kol held out their arm for her to take and she took it willingly. As she put her arm through Klaus' she felt a wave of electricity shot through her and made her shiver. Klaus felt that too as the Electricity went through his body all the way to his feet, he smirked.

As they went into the Pet store they were greeted by a woman who Caroline has never seen before and Carolines been here many times. As they approached her, her name tag read Isabelle.

"Bonjour" the women said. Caroline looked at her, confused.

"Bonjour, nous recherchons un chien" Klaus replied in a French accent. Caroline's eyes widened, he sounded hot.

"droit de cette façon" Isabelle replied in french. Klaus nodded.

"Merci" Klaus said, looking at his brother and Caroline.

"You know french?" Caroline asked, dumbfounded.

"Yes, didn't you learn it in school?" Klaus asked.

"Nope, I learned Italian" Caroline shrugged.

"Come on, let's go" Kol whined.

They followed the women to the back of the store where a dozen of dogs were barking as they entered the room. The woman turned her attention back at the three of them.

"rien de particulier" she questioned. Klaus turned to Caroline.

"What breed do you want?" Klaus asked, burning his gaze into hers.

"A Huskey, two actually" Caroline replied as Klaus nodded.

"deux chiens de traîneau" Klaus told the women and she nodded. She led them further into the store to the cage that contained two adult huskies and 5 puppies. The one that caught Caroline's attention was the pure white puppy with ice blue eyes. Another puppy that also caught her eye was dark grey with one eye blue and the other brown. They were magnificent.

"Which ones?" Kol asked as he took in the beauty of the dogs.

"That dark grey one and the white one" Caroline said in awe.

"Coming up" Klaus smirked at her. She was beautiful when she was happy. What is he saying, he thought.

"Chien de traîneau blanc" Klaus told the woman. She nodded and picked up the White puppy and handed it to him, it was a boy. "Chien de traîneau gris-foncé" Klaus added pointing to the Dark grey puppy. She nodded and picked up the puppy, it was a girl.

"sont ils de la même famille" Klaus asked.

"Non, elle a été abandonnée par ses parents" they woman replied, sadly.

"What is it Klaus?" Caroline asked.

"They girl you got, it was abandoned by her parents but i'm guessing she meant owners" Klaus shrugged.

"Well that is going to change, come on we have other shopping to do. I want to get one for Henrick...would her like one?" Caroline said.

"Yeah, Get him the light grey one, It's pretty" Kol said picking up the puppy, it was also a boy.

"okay let's go" Klaus said taking a puppy from Caroline.


Back at the Mansion, Canaan, Stefan, Elijah and Finn were playing football against each other. Canaan's team were beating Elijah and Finn as they were letting the little boy run circles around them. Sage, Elena, Lexi, Rebekah and Amelia were in the lounge area, drawing pictures of the flowers that were blossoming. Canaan looked around for Kol, his mom and Klaus but they was not in sight.

"Where is mommy and Uncle Kol and Klaus?" Canaan wondered, searching the back garden.

"Mommy needed to get something, she'll be back soon" Finn reassured the boy, squeezing his shoulder lightly. Canaan turned on his heels to look up at his Uncle Finn as Finn knelt to his level.

"What about Klaus and Uncle Kol?" Canaan asked, confused.

"They went with her mate" Finn comforted him.

"Okay" Canaan began to walk over to the girls as they were drawing. He went up to his little sister and kissed her on her forehead.

"Sister, what are you drawing?" Canaan asked, politely.

Amelia looked up at him and gave him a smile. She picked up the piece of paper and handed it to him. Canaan's eyes widened in surprise.

"My sister is a young Vincent Van Gogh" Canaan said, happily.

"Aw thank you Canaan" she hugged her brother. "You're the next Cristiano Ronaldo"

"I know" Canaan replied, proudly making his sister laugh.

"You guys have talent you know" Sage stated.

"Stefan taught me to play soccer, baseball, basketball and lots of others" Canaan smiled towards his Uncle.

"That I did little man" Stefan ruffled his hair.

"Stefan, leave my hair alone" Canaan scowled.

"Stefan are you tormented the boy?" Elena questioned, raising her eyebrow.

"Maybe?" Stefan replied, looking innocent.

"Yes you are Uncle Stefan" Amelia called, pointing her tongue at Stefan.

"Oh you cheeky mare" Stefan before running at her and placing her playfully over his shoulder.

"Put me down" Amelia squealed while laughing.

"Stefan put the poor girl down" Lexi scowled him.

"Do I have to?" he said playfully.

"Yes" Elijah challenged him while stalking towards Stefan. Stefan can see what Elijah was about to do and carefully ran away from Elijah.

"Stefan, be careful with her" Rebekah called.

"I will" Stefan shouted over to her.

Canaan ran up to Stefan and grabbed his legs, clinging on, refusing to let go.

"Uncle Elijah, quick get her. I've got his legs" Canaan ordered causing everyone to laugh at Stefan.

"Stefan's getting beat up by a 6-year-old" Henrick mocked.

"Watch your tone Henrick or i'll let you take a dip in the pool" Stefan grinned, stepping forward towards Henrick once Canaan let go of him.

"Hey, Stefan...Just kidding" Henrick lied, but raised his hands in defeat.

"Hey Rebekah, Elena...have you heard from Bonnie?" Matt asked.

"Who is Bonnie?" Kol asked, confused as Finn and Sage were also unaware of this Bonnie girl.

"Bonnie is the Salvatore's cousin. She lives in Vancouver and was supposed to visit this week for Canaan's birthday" Elena explained.

"Yeah, haven't you met her?" Matt asked the confused people sitting in front of him.

"No we haven't" Sage stated, honestly.


Caroline, Kol and Klaus were coming up to the Mansion with Three energetic puppies and a lot of accessories just for three tiny dogs. They had to get a lot of things: Blue, Purple and Green leads; matching food and drink bowls; two Black wooden doghouses; hundreds of chew toys and a lot of food. The car was packed with everything, it is unbelievable how much a dog needs. Oh and she brought a lot of Shampoo for the dogs when they get dirty. They pulled into the driveway and got out of the car.

"Come here you lady" Caroline said, picking up the Dark grey puppy.

"Come here little fella" Klaus cooed at the White puppy and he licked Klaus on the cheek, Klaus' eyes widened at the dog and then softened.

"Come on Kol junior" Kol called at the little light grey puppy.

Caroline let out a sigh and turned around towards the men and said,

"Ready?" Caroline asked, nervous.

"Are you nervous about giving him a puppy?" Klaus asked, amused.

"Yeah, a little" Caroline confirmed.

"What did he want to call this little fella?" Klaus wondered, stroking the puppy.

"He wanted to call him Simba" Caroline shrugged but a smile played on her face.

"Simba as in Lion King?" Klaus asked, bemused.

"That's the one" Caroline smiled.

"Simba suits him" Kol murmured, stroking the white puppy while patting it's head.

"What about the girl?" Kol gestured to the Female dog.

"I don't know" Caaroline replied.

"So are you ready?" They both nodded at her and they follwed her into the house.
