Birthdays and Threats
It was like a dream the twins fell into the Parisian life style full speed ahead. At times they would ask for nana, but they understood that she is back in Mystic Falls. Caroline and Klaus along with the others have been here for three years. The twins are now six years old.
Caroline was planning the perfect birthday for them, with the help of Rebekah and Bonnie. Amara of course wanted a princess party and Emrys wanted a boy's party. Caroline asked him to explain but he just keeps repeating a party for boys.
They had decided to take the twins out of school, and have someone come there. Klaus made a classroom in the apartment for them. Caroline had a hard time with the decision but there poor teacher had to be compelled many times. Amara showed the class how she makes her dolls walk and move on their own. Emrys would antagonize the boys and move things out of their reach. It really came to a head when Emrys was ruffing around with the boys and fell. He cut his leg pretty bad. Of course it healed in no time and the teacher had questions for the dotting parents. That night was when the decision was made. Klaus explaining that when the twins get older and learn how to control their magic. They could consider putting them back in private school. Bonnie has already offered to help them.
Bonnie and Kol had decided to turn her within the year. She had finally convinced him that it was the best plan. Especially since they were engaged now. Rebekah and Stefan have discussed marriage but have not made a finally decision. Rebekah enjoying the relationship so far, and did not want any extra pressure. Elijah has had a secret relationship with Katherine. He thinks no one knows but they do. Everyone just plays along, waiting until he is ready to tell them.
" Okay, Emrys Mikaelson stop running in the house." Caroline yells. " You have to tell mommy what you would like for your birthday," she says while grabbing the boy and sitting him down in the chair. He squirms, wanting to play more. Caroline had a different idea. It was only two weeks until the party and Emrys has not given his mother what she wanted. " Boy party, Boy stuff, I don't know" he says giving his mother his wolfish grin. Caroline smiles and nods her head. " Go play, mommy and daddy will figure it out," she says as he jumps up off of the chair. As he runs back to the playroom, Caroline catches her breath. He is so wild and carefree, that scared Caroline a bit. Emrys knows he can heal if hurt and he uses that to his advantage.
Klaus enters the room and pulls Caroline towards him. " Hello, lovely" he says while giving her a kiss. Caroline wiggles out of his arms and moves over to the kitchen with Klaus following her. " And why can't I touch my wife" he jokes. Caroline smirks at him, " Because I have to fix the kids lunch, our children do eat food…Nik." He takes a seat on the stool. Caroline moves over towards the fridge and grabs the cold cuts out. Klaus sighs very loudly as she bends over. He just sits there taking in the view of her backside. He quickly moves behind her, Caroline yelping. He wraps his hands around her waist. " I want you so badly now," he growls in her ear. " Nik…what has gotten in to you?" Caroline whispers as he kisses her neck. He laughs in her ear and nibbles it a bit. " No I think the question is what I want to get into you, Caroline." She shivers at the sound of her name rolling from his tongue. Neither of them noticed they had a little audience watching. " Daddy , what are you doing to mommy?" she smiles at her father. Caroline pushes Klaus away from while blushing like a school girl. Klaus bends down and picks his daughter up " We were just playing sweetheart." Caroline cuts him a look as she fixes the sandwiches.
Later that night, Klaus finally has Caroline alone. As he hovers over her, he kisses her neck. She moans out loudly, loving the sensation. Klaus moves his hands down her body and removes her top. Letting her breast spill out. Suddenly they hear the door open. " Mommy, Can I sleep with you and daddy?" Emrys ask while he moves closer to the bed. Caroline quickly buttons up her top and slides over. Nik moaning out his frustration. Not long after Amara comes to join them. Nik gets up after they have fallen asleep. As he enters his paint room his mind flashes back to how soft Caroline's skin was. How she smelled and felt under him. It's been weeks since he has made love to her. It was killing him, he needed her like he needs blood. The twins have started coming in and sleeping with them for over two months. The past two weeks it has turn into a nightly occurrence.
Caroline could feel him move from the bed. She was beginning to feel like family life was weighing down on Klaus. She knew it had been a while since they made love. Caroline looks down at her children and smiles. She decided that night to start making time for her and Nik. She would talk to Rebekah and Bonnie tomorrow, to see if they could help. She closes her eyes and goes back to sleep.
The next morning Klaus tells her he has come up with the perfect idea for Emrys' birthday. " A prince party, since Amara is doing the princess theme." Caroline gives him a strange look. " It will be with knights and play swords" he finishes. Caroline then smiles " Oh okay…I get it now." Klaus comes around and touches her cheek " I miss you…" he whispers. Caroline sees the longing in his face. " I know baby, It's just been hard lately. Tell you what we will go out on a date," she beams. Klaus smirks perfect. " Date Night…never thought I would use those words but…okay."
Later that day Caroline has called and makes the reservations. She wanted to do this for Klaus. Show him that she still loves him. Her and Rebekah are talking as she gets ready. Her and Stefan have decided to babysit the twins. Caroline comes out in a sleek black dress. It hugs her curves ever so tightly. She has a blue scarf and shoes on, giving the black dress a little spice. " My My….Nik is gonna love you in that" Rebekah says. Just as Caroline is about to reply, they hear a loud thump. As they speed in they see Emrys jumped off the bed and cuts himself. Caroline rushes over and looks at it. She knows it will heal. She can't help still being a mom and worrying. " We have to wait for daddy to bring the tube, I have to help out daddy" he says while grinning at his mother and Rebekah. " What are you talking about little wolf" Caroline asks.
" Well, last time I fell daddy put my blood in a tube. So I figure every time I fall I should let him know," he finishes. Both women stood there with blank expressions on their faces. Caroline storms out looking for her husband. He is in the study with Stefan having a drink. Caroline rushes in and grabs the drink out of his hands. " Have you lost your freaking mind" she yells. Klaus looks up at her and smirks loving the dress she has chosen. " About what sweetheart?" he inquires. Rebekah calls for Stefan " We are not babysitting tonight, they have things to discuss," she says. Stefan has a perplexed look on his face but follows Rebekah out the door.
Caroline is standing there with her hands on her hips. " Tell me why my son is waiting on daddy to bring a tube around every time he falls." She stood there tapping her feet, waiting for him to reply. Klaus breathes hard and turns his head. " I was going to tell you about that" he answers. " Thats all I get, that's it" she yells. Caroline turns on her heels and heads out of the study. Klaus chases her and grabs her arm. " We have not had anytime together, I was not trying to hide it" he growls. Caroline pushes his hand off of her. " Don't touch me. They are our children. What happens to them should be discussed." Caroline is starting to tremble she is so mad. Klaus starts to come at her again and he feels a hard slap across his face. His face stays in the position it landed. Without looking at Caroline he speaks low. " Don't ever… ever do that again." Caroline looks at him " Or what" she shoots back. Klaus's jaw is tight, he looks at her. He wants to sooth her but he knows she will reject him. " Can we please discuss this at dinner?" Caroline scoffs " No, You're the last person I want to see." And before he can come back with an answer she is gone.
Klaus checks in on the twins, who are fast asleep. He knew he should have told her sooner. He wanted to understand better and wait before he jumped the gun. He hears her crying in their bedroom. He slowly opens the door and Caroline quickly turns her head away from him. " Get out" she says softly. Klaus keeps coming " Get out" she gets louder. As he speeds in, Caroline is up. He looks at her " Let's talk about it, love" he whispers. Caroline rushes out of the room. He listens as she leaves their apartment and goes in to Rebekah's. Klaus throws the pillow on the bed across the room. Wanting to do more damage but he knew it would wake the twins. He decides to sleep and try again tomorrow.
The next morning Caroline is still not speaking to him. She comes to the apartment and visit's the twins. Taking care of them and pretending that everything is okay. She hates that, her parents did that for two years before they got separated. She knew it was putting stress on the twins. They were connected to them, Amara was sad because Klaus was sad. Emrys was angry and upset. He was giving the teacher a hard time. Caroline would have to come in and ease him a bit. When night came she would stay at Rebekah's. This carries on for a week. Caroline is crying and upset every night. Stefan tries to check in and talk to Klaus, along with Kol. Elijah is too busy with Katherine to bother. Plus he feels it was wrong of Klaus in the first place. Bonnie tries to convince Caroline it was coming from a good place. She understands that Klaus would not do anything to hurt the twins. She is just upset because they promised no secrets. She was his other half, she felt left out. Especially if it concerns the twins.
Caroline decides to stay the night before the twins birthday. They are asleep and she tries to get rest herself. Caroline jumps a little at his presence at the foot of the bed. " You said I could sleep here" she mumbles. Klaus does not say a word and tries to move on to the bed. Caroline gets up and hugs her knees. " Will you just stop…please" she begs. Klaus stops and looks towards the door. As he moves towards the door, he turns " You will talk to me…" he says. Caroline is about to respond when she feels his hands on her legs. He is now sitting in front of her. Caroline rolls her eyes and turns her head again. " Do you understand. I am your husband. You will talk to me," he demands. Caroline gives him a scornful look " As you wish, Klaus." He jumps up and moves off of the bed, he begins to pace. Trying to calm himself, she knows hearing that name from her mouth sets him off. " Don't give me that shit, Caroline. Just hear me out," he says while still pacing the room. He finally takes a seat, not hearing a word from her.
" You know that we have to figure out things about the twins. About a week ago you and Amara were gone shopping. Emrys was in the paint room and starched his hand." Klaus looks to her, as he continues. " It occurred to me that we don't know anything about their blood. The power it may hold. So I took a tube and let a little of the blood run into it before it healed." Caroline exhales gets a little uneasy as he is telling the rest. " After that if he fell I would collect some more." He begins to walk again " I will not tolerate anyone else doing that to them. Caroline I just…I just" he breaks down and slumps on the edge of the bed. He begins to tear up at the thought of losing his wife. He can't live without her. Caroline moves to the edge of the bed. " Nik…I know why you did it. I was just hurt that you could not share it with me," she says softly, " these past weeks have been rough and I know that we have not had our time" she puts her head down, " I felt like I was losing you and then to hear Emrys say that." Caroline stops and grabs his face. " I'm sorry. I could have let you explain yourself. I was being selfish in my own feelings," she whispers against his ear. Klaus kisses her cheek " I should have told you what I did that day, but I wanted to wait until I had enough to see. I never should have kept it from you. Let alone have you find out the way you did."
The twins awoke in bliss, ready for their birthday party to begin. Emrys takes off down the hallway from his room. " Mommy Mommy" he yells as he comes around the corner and in the room. He sprits towards the bathroom as Klaus catches him. " Whoa, mommys in the shower" he says as he brings his son up in a hug. " Happy Birthday Emrys," Klaus gives him another tight squeeze. He walks over to the bed and sits his son down. Klaus still has his towel wrapped around his waist. " Why is mommy taking so long" he whines. As his father walks to the closet, drying off and slipping on some clothes. Just as he walks out he sees Emrys in the doorway of the bathroom. " Mommy Mommy hurry up" the boy chants as he is about to walk further in. Caroline jumps and reaches for her towel quickly. Bending down to look at her son " Mommy is coming little wolf. Give me time to put my clothes on" she giggles as he hugs her. Klaus is standing at the door " Emrys what did I tell you." He says sternly walking his son out of the bathroom. Emrys takes off down the hallway back towards his room. Caroline looks at Klaus and smiles " Nik he is just excited." Klaus walks up to her, wrapping her in his arms. " I know but he has to learn boundaries Caroline" he leans in to kiss her. Caroline dodges his lips and moves towards the bedroom. As she is drying off and putting on her bra and panties, Klaus is watching her. He walks up behind her and grabs her hips pushing her in to him. Caroline can feel he is ready and turns in his grip. " Big wolf and little wolf are just gonna have to learn to share mommy," she says while kissing his neck. Klaus moans and moves away from her " If I stay and watch you, you will never leave this room or get dress" he turns and walks out.
Caroline all dressed now, walks into the twins room. As both run to her she kisses them on the cheek. She begins to sing Happy Birthday to them. Klaus can hear her from the kitchen and smiles. Caroline has always sung that to them in the morning on their birthday. He never gets enough of hearing her sing to their children. She has a voice like an angel. As they follow Caroline in to the kitchen, Amara jumps up in Klaus's arms. " Daddy I get to be a real princess today" she giggles. Klaus replies in a stern but playful tone " Yes, you do sweetheart." The rest of the family joins them each entering and giving the twins hugs and kisses for their special day. Caroline and Klaus's kitchen was the heart of all the apartments. Elijah having his coffee, Rebekah playing with Amara, Bonnie and Kol going back and forth. Stefan and Klaus talking, this was her family and she loved every minute.
The twins had met friends in school but before they are invited to the party. Klaus has them checked out, picking just three for each twin. He felt only safe with that number. Bonnie and Kol takes the children out while the rest help decorate for the party. Caroline goes in their bedroom for more of the dresses she has picked out for Amara. Klaus finds her bent over in the closet. He cannot fight his urges as a man, for his wife is still alluring. Caroline senses him knowing what her husband has craved. Klaus takes her from behind and they fall into each other's embrace. Stefan knocks at the door " Just a reminder that your kids will be back in least then an hour" he smirks. Knowing fully what Klaus's intentions were when he followed Caroline. Minutes later they emerge, Caroline blushing as she fixes Amara's table.
The twins arrive back and go crazy looking at their set up for the party. Amara has gift bags and fancy dresses for her friends to wear. Including princess cupcakes and a small make up party. She rushes to her mommy. " We will be just as pretty as you and Aunties Bekah and Bonnie" she says while hugging Caroline's neck tightly. Emrys rushes over to his side and loves the wooden swords and armor suits his father had made. He loves the tower Uncle Kol did, and squeals when Elijah tells him they will become knights. Everything is perfect just as they want for the twins. As the guest come, Caroline and Klaus greet them at the door. Caroline cuts one of the mothers short as she is chatting up Klaus and smiling at him. He smirks at Caroline playful as she kisses his cheek. One of the fathers walks in and as Klaus is speaking to him, the father's eyes linger too long in a certain direction. Klaus follows the man's eyes and is about to say something when Elijah cuts in blocking the view and the confrontation. As the father leaves Elijah pats his brother on the back. " Don't worry Caroline will never leave you for another, you know this" Elijah says. Klaus stares at him " that doesn't mean some guy has to stare at her ass too long, Elijah" he shots back. Elijah laughs and walks off to join the others.
Later as they sit and watch the children play and enjoy their party. Klaus walks up to Caroline, he whispers thank you in her ear and hands her a box. Caroline turns and smiles " Baby."
" Shh" he answers " Just open the box" he instructs. Caroline opens the box and screams. " It's beautiful, Nik" she beams. Amara rushes over and wants a look. Caroline bends to meet her " look what daddy got us, you have one too." Inside there are two charm bracelets Caroline's with both their initials on it with the twins. Amara's with her name on it. Both in are in gold with diamond letters. " Mommy can I wear mine now" Amara asks. Klaus bends down to receives a kiss from his daughter and places the bracelet on her wrist. He hands her another box. Caroline looking as surprised with Amara., as she rips the box open she squeals loudly. " It's a real tiara" Klaus says while he places it on her head. "Worn by a real princess and now it yours" he beams at his little princess as she runs to show the others. Caroline looks at him " Nik, don't you think it's too much?"
" No, not for what they will have to endure in life for all eternity. No" he says looking at her. Caroline smiles understanding that Klaus whats them to enjoy everything life has to offer. For it may be a time they cannot. With no sign in sight for the power they hold, they had to enjoy every day. Thats what Klaus wanted for his family. He brothers and sisters ran for a thousand years. He does not want to do it again. Caroline nudges him pointed to Emrys" looks like someone else wants gifts too."
They walk over to Emrys and Klaus hands him a big box. Emrys is smaller than the box so Elijah and Kol help. As he pulls down the paper he sees four swords. " Cool, they are mine" he screams. Kol holds up the shadow box showing it off. Inside four real swords, Caroline is glad that there in a box. Klaus bends to meet his son " They belong to your ancestors over a thousand years ago." All three men smiling, it hits Bonnie and Caroline that the swords once belong to extra one being Finn's.
The guests are gone and the twins are winding down. As they clean up Rebekah is talking to Caroline in the kitchen. " I still cannot believe I have a nephew and niece. Let alone Nik being their father" she says. Caroline turns to look at her and sees the sadness in her eyes. " I'm sorry Rebekah. That the cure was not want we thought, I know you wanted kids someday," Caroline says as she moves closer to her. Rebekah smiles " If anybody needed to feel love it was Nik. He never had that growing up," she pauses. Just then Klaus and Stefan walk in and can tell the two are in deep conversation. As Stefan gathers their things, they say goodnight. Caroline thanks Klaus again for her gift. " You deserve it, you gave me something I never thought possible" he grins as they head to tuck in the twins.
Later while Klaus and Caroline are in the bed, she begins to wonder if there is something that can be done. " Do you think the twins are the answer?" Klaus wraps his arms around her and lays his head on her chest. " Maybe, Why?" he asks.
" I want to help Rebekah, I think her and Stefan would make good parents. They have always just dealt, you know. Neither really wanting to be what they are." Caroline looks down at Klaus as he meets her gaze. " I can promise that if the twins are the cure, It will only be Rebekah and Stefan that receive it." He moans a little as he places his head back down on her chest. " Why the moan?" Caroline waits for him to answer.
" If they are I fear what life could turn into for them. And I think we have visitors coming" he mentions as the twins both appear at the door. Caroline motions for them to come join her and Klaus. As they get in, he looks at his family and smiles. He wants to figure this out before it's too late. Before everyone in the supernatural word knows about them. And that's what he plans on doing.
Hope you guys enjoyed it. Klaus and Caroline have a lot of challenges ahead of them. Not just supernatural they need to keep their relationship strong, it is an eternity. Dealing with being parents and keeping the spice in a marriage, they have to deal with threats and concerns over the twins also. I think this chapter they learn that. In the next chapter they will have the balance they crave. Please read and review. Also if their are situations you would like to see the twins deal with throughout childhood, let me know. Thank you guys for the previous reviews. Until next xoxo
