AN: Thanks for reading! Love the reviews I'm getting, and I'm glad people are liking this story. Here's another chapter. I think we all need a good laugh at this point.
Caroline was carefully sewing the patch onto Jack the bear. She managed to patch him up, give him a new eye and re-attach his leg. She put in some more stuffing but when she did another hole appeared. This bear was covered in different colored patches in different shapes.
Kol was spinning around on a chair, wearing a doctor's jacket and stethoscope. He was throwing the pieces from the game Operation at Caroline.
"Stop it Kol!"
"You're not letting me operate"
"Well this is serious, I have to fix Jack"
"He looks good as new, except for all the colorful girly patches you put on him"
"They're not girly!"
Liz was in the dining room clearing up the mess Caroline had left. She sighed in frustration and just threw everything into a box and left it on the table. She had a long shift coming up and was tired. Caroline left the house in a disaster and disappeared. Now she was hiding in her room.
"Caroline! I'm heading out to work!" Liz yelled
"OK!" Caroline yelled
"Bad cop is leaving!" Kol said
Caroline put the bear down.
"I'm done!" Caroline said
"Good, now let's go play outside! I'll push you on the swings" Kol said
"I don't think we have those anymore" Caroline said
"WHAT?! Why wouldn't you have them!?" Kol yelled
"Because I grew up! I'm too big for them"
"Lies! I'll be the judge of that!"
Kol ran out, and Caroline followed him. Her old swing set was rusty and faded. Kol jumped onto the swing with a horse on it and started to move.
"It still works!" Kol yelled
Caroline smiled and watched Kol play on the horse.
"Join me! This isn't fun by myself!" Kol said
"I'm too big"
"No you're not! I still fit, you 'll fit! don't be such a stinky face"
Caroline sat on the tiny swing and tried to swing. She wondered why it was so easy for Kol. Kol seemed to be charging forward yelling about fighting off some monsters. His clothes changed and he was now wearing a cowboy outfit. She reached out to him, and he turned to her.
"What is it Carebear?" Kol asked
"I just missed you"
"I missed you too, it wasn't fun being trapped in that stupid box"
"I know, it was my fault"
"No, it's not, but we're together now. Let's have fun"
"Pinky swear?"
Caroline held out her pink. Kol smiled and wrapped his pinky around hers.
"Pinky swear!"
"Daddy! Hurry up!" Henry yelled as he ran behind the house
"Henry get back here!" Klaus yelled
Caroline looked up and saw Henry running into her backyard with Klaus behind him. Klaus was holding a small white box.
"Stop running off like that!" Klaus yelled
"Hi Caroline!" Henry beamed
"Hi Henry" Caroline said
"Mr Grumpy face is back!" Kol said
"Sorry to intrude on you like this, but Henry insisted that we see you today, to make sure Jack was ok" Klaus said
"Oh, he's more than ok. He's pretty much fixed" Caroline said getting up
"That's good then, we brought you this" Klaus said handing her the box
Caroline opened it and looked inside. Kol started screaming and jumping up and down.
"CUPCAKES! AND THEY'RE CHOCOLATE!" Kol yelled
"Wow, cupcakes" Caroline said
"CUPCAKES! I haven't had one in forever!" Kol yelled
"Henry insisted we bring you something. These are his favorite" Klaus said
"Good pick Henry! I want that one!" Kol said reaching into the box
Caroline swatted Kol's hand away. She looked up at Klaus who was looking at her strangely.
"Fly" Caroline said, "We should have them inside"
Caroline was in the kitchen trying to find the cups. Kol was banging spoons on the counter.
"What are you doing?! There are cupcakes outside! CUPAKES!" Kol yelled
"Hush Kol!" Caroline said
"What are you looking for?"
"Cups. Where the hell did my mom hide them?"
Caroline found the cups and placed them on the counter. Kol appeared and started tapping the spoons on the tops of her breasts.
"What are you doing?" Caroline hissed as she pushed him away
"They're jiggly! Like a bouncy castle!" Kol said as he tried to tap the spoons again
"Give me that" Caroline snatched the spoons away
Kol grabbed the kettle and held it out like a weapon.
"On guard!" Kol said
Caroline tried to hit Kol with the spoons but instead hit the kettle. Klaus walked into the kitchen to see what the noise was. He saw Caroline holding spoons and a kettle in her hands in a strange position.
"Need any help love?" Klaus asked
"No, I just was looking for stuff" Caroline said turning around
Caroline filled the kettle with water and put it on the stove.
"Are you making tea?" Klaus asked
"Yeah" Caroline answered
"Why do you have spoons?" Klaus asked
"Because I'm playing bongos on her!" Kol said
"It's not my house, I mean I just moved back so I don't know where everything is" Caroline said
"I can help you with the tea love" Klaus said
"I can help you with the tea, oh look I talk funny too! His accent is so stupid, mine's so much better right Carebear?" Kol said
Caroline glared at Kol. Klaus was reaching into the cupboard for the teas.
"I bet you his accent isn't real. He's just been watching a lot of teletubbies. Mine is so much better right? I mean for your imaginary friend I've got the best accent ever" Kol said
"How do you even have an accent?" Caroline asked
"What?" Klaus asked
"Um, I mean, you're accent, you're not from here" Caroline said
"No, I'm not. I'm originally from London" Klaus said taking the teapot out
"London bridges falling down! FALLING DOWN!" Kol sang as he danced around Klaus
"Henry doesn't have an accent though" Caroline said
"Henry was born here" Klaus said
"I take it his mom wasn't British like you?" Caroline asked
"No, she was an American, loud, rude, annoying" Klaus said
"Oh, he doesn't like Henry's mom it seems. Maybe she was a grumpy face too" Kol said
"Henry said his mom left?" Caroline asked
"His mother, died recently. He hasn't been adjusting well to it" Klaus said
"Oh, I'm sorry about your wife" Caroline said
"She wasn't my wife. We weren't together really, it happened, and she got pregnant. It was very strained between us, but we managed to make it work."
The whistle on the kettle went off and Klaus turned around to pour it into the teapot. Kol was standing in the doorway with a top hat on and a monocle. His clothes changed again and he was wearing a tuxedo with a tailcoat.
"It's tea time" Kol said
Klaus carried the tray out into the living room. Henry was coloring when he saw them walk in. Caroline set down a glass of milk in front of Henry. Kol sat across from them looking at the cupcakes. Klaus took a cupcake out of the box and set it infront of Henry. Henry smiled and shoved it into his face getting the chocolate icing all over his face.
"Henry!" Klaus scolded
"Sorry daddy" Henry said
"What am I going to do with you?" Klaus asked
Kol shoved his face into the cupcake and smiled.
"Hmm, it's been so long since I've had one, it's sooooo good! I miss you chocolate" Kol said
Klaus looked for a napkin to clean up Henry. He looked up and saw chocolate all over Caroline's face.
"I really like chocolate" Caroline said
"I can see that"
"Grumpy face stop staring at my Carebear like that!" Kol yelled
Kol grabbed a cupcake from the box and shoved it into Klaus's face. Caroline looked shocked and over at Kol.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Caroline said getting up
"I'm not!" Kol said
Klaus got up and peeled the cupcake off his face. Henry was laughing in the background. Klaus looked over at Caroline his expression unreadable. And then he shoved the cupcake back into her face. She squealed and he grabbed her to keep her from running off.
"Not so fun when it's on your face is love?" Klaus teased
"Oh my god, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! "Caroline said
Klaus held her close and rubbed his cheek against her, getting more of the frosting on her face.
"Oh! That's a waste of chocolate!" Kol yelled
Caroline and Klaus both started to laugh. Kol licked the chocolate frosting off Klaus's cheek. Klaus stopped laughing and looked at Caroline. Something shifted and Klaus's eyes looked deeply into hers. Caroline held her breath as she waited for his next move. Henry's laughter could still be heard in the background. Klaus blinked and let go of her arms. He took a step back and Caroline gulped down the glass of milk.
"I'll get some napkins" Caroline said as she went back into the kitchen
"What was that?" Kol asked
"Why did you do that for?" Caroline asked
"What did I do?"
"You shoved the cupcake in his face"
"It was funny"
"And then you licked him"
"I like chocolate"
Caroline was frustrated with Kol and stuck her head into the fridge.
"What are you doing Carebear?"
"Go away Kol"
"Are you trying to freeze your head so you'll be a snowman?"
"Are the napkins in the freezer love?" Klaus said
Caroline pulled her head out of the freezer and quickly closed it. She turned around and leaned against the fridge.
"Not my house" Caroline said
"You're quite peculiar sweetheart" Klaus said as he walked closer to her
"Not really"
Klaus invaded her personal space. She felt his hand on her hip holding her back. His nose was almost touching hers.
"what's he doing? Why are you breathing like you ran a marathon? what's going on?" Kol asked
Klaus lifted his hand up and using his finger brushed some of the chocolate off her face and licked it off his finger. Caroline's heart was going to burst out of her chest.
"Caroline?" Liz called out from the other room
Caroline slid away from Klaus quickly and ran out into the dining room. She found Liz standing there with Henry still eating his cupcake. Liz looked at Caroline's face.
"what's going on here?" Liz asked
Klaus walked into the dining room and Liz looked at him. She wondered why their faces were all covered in chocolate.
"Hi sheriff" Henry said
"Bad cop is back!" Kol said
Hope you were amused. Kol just gets himself into trouble doesn't he? Leave me a review. If you have questions feel free to ask me, I know some of you are wondering a few things.
