A/N I would just like to say thank you for your truly overwhelming support! 30 reviews, 25 faves and 86 follows is astounding and I am very grateful! I am also very thankful for your feedback. I am working on making Caroline less OOC in this chapter so I hope I succeed. Please let me know what you think.

"Caroline is fine? She just fainted because of a lack of food? Because she's carrying twins instead of a single baby? Twins?" Klaus was overwhelmed with information and needed to clarify it in the simplest of terms. The nurse had told him that they were having twins and so Caroline needed to increase her food intake slightly as she wasn't eating enough for three. He felt oddly relieved. Caroline was perfectly fine. The twins were fine. His children.

The nurse chuckled at the worried father-to-be. She had seen plenty enough fathers panic over the littlest things and yet turn out to the very best. "Yes Mr Mikaelson. Miss Forbes is currently on an IV drip to replenish nutrients that she needs as she is carrying two instead of one. She needs to eat slightly more to compensate but she does not need to eat another whole adult meal" The nurse made to leave and then turned back as if she had remembered something. "And yes, Mr Mikaelson. The test results came in and they were conclusive. They are indeed your children. Good luck!"

"Thank you Nurse" Klaus thanked her as she left. Love swelled up in his heart. They were his children. Caroline had been telling the truth. His heart seemed to expand and relax as the news sunk in. Caroline was safe. They were having twins. And, they were his children. His children. He was content. But, then an errant thought snuck in. What if they weren't your children? Would you have abandoned her? Hated the children? The way Mikael hates you. He shook away the thoughts. It did not do to dwell on what could have been. He made his way inside her room.

Caroline saw him coming in. She turned her face away. He hadn't believed her, hadn't trusted her and that hurt. In fact, it more than hurt. It had felt like a ton of bricks coming crashing down on her, reminding her that she wasn't anything to Klaus. And, now he had the guts to come in and look concerned. Only because he was satisfied. But, then again he did bring her to the hospital. And, the nurse had said he sat there looking tense until he found out the reason. But, even still he had hurt her feelings. And, he had been a jerk about the whole thing. His faced loomed over her. She could see the tension at his forehead. He cared for her. That realisation had hit her hard. Klaus Mikaelson. The King of Making People Cry. He was worried about her. She softened slightly. But, he still needed to apologise. She would make him suffer a little before giving in.

"Love?" Klaus asked. He had seen her turn over. The nurse had also told him she was awake. "I know you're awake, sweetheart"

Caroline stiffened.

"Come on, love. Talk to me" Klaus coaxed her as she stubbornly refused to answer. He had a brainwave. "Caroline, is that a spider?" He pretended to look in her hair. It worked.

Caroline jumped. His touch was electric. The mere brush of his hand and she felt warm. She opened her eyes reluctantly.

"I knew that would work" Klaus looked pleased with himself.

Caroline pulled a face. "Puh-lease. I just decided that I should give you a chance to explain"

"Explain what love?" He asked with a smirk. Seeing her eyes light up with anger, he quickly decided to elaborate. "Sweetheart, I'm sorry. I should have believed you, love"

Caroline inwardly smiled. An apology from Klaus. Pigs must be flying. She decided to draw it out a little longer and take advantage of him. He looks genuinely pained and upset. The anger was lessening. "And, Klaus? You should have believed me. We were friends. Then, you began treating me like every other of your flings" She said but it was without malice or bite. It was honest.

"And for that, love. I am sorry." He smiled earnestly at her. "But, we can still reclaim our friendship. If that's acceptable to you, love, then we can have a fresh start."

Caroline looked uncaring. "I don't know, Klaus. You hurt me. You didn't trust me. Me. Caroline Forbes" She let out fairly. "Your only friend" She mocked gently to lighten the mood. She would forgive him properly now. But, he still needed to win her trust back.

"That was a mistake. I intend to rectify it, love, if you'll let me" Klaus wanted to make things right. It had been his fault. He had created the distance. He had hurt her. He had broken her trust. "I want your trust, Caroline" He said honestly.

She smiled a little. "Then, okay. I forgive you. We can have a fresh start as friends" She emphasised 'friends' as she didn't want a romantic relationship. At least, not yet. Klaus, handsome as he was, still needed to win back her trust. "But, you broke my trust. And, that isn't an easy thing to gain back, Klaus"

"I will gain your trust back, love" Klaus took her hand. "I promise" He kissed her hand softly. His lips were like satin, delighting every sense in her hand and a few others in unmentionable places.

Caroline let out a proper, radiant smile. "Anyway, enough with the depressing mistakes. We're having twins!" She let out excitedly as her hand subconsciously caressed her stomach.

"I know, love. The nurse told me. It's a bloody miracle!" Klaus agreed with a smile. Every time, he saw her smile it lit up something in his heart. He wanted to make her smile. And be able to smile and laugh with her.

Caroline sat up. "What do you think we're having? What do you want?" She rambled in a daze of happiness. She pictured them. Two blonde haired, blue eyed babies. A boy and a girl would be perfect. With Klaus's dimples. She let out a laugh as she imagined Klaus cradling two babies.

"What's so amusing?" Klaus flashed her a smile. She was bent over, giggling madly, and it made him feel lighter. She brought a ray of happiness everywhere she went.

Caroline choked back a laugh. "The Babies-You-Holding them" She could only say a little.

Klaus immediately got what she was talking about. He himself found it amusing to imagine himself as a father. It was a foreign concept. Looking after two totally dependent souls and loving them. He would give them everything that Mikael had refused him. It was strange. Only a week ago, he was completely opposed. And yet now, the more he thought of them, the more he desperately wanted them. He wanted to make things work with Caroline. It was almost as he had broken though his stone walls. Well that wasn't strictly true. Caroline had forced her way inside. "Haha, love. I'm glad you find me so funny"

Caroline's laugh tailed off.

"What's wrong, love?" Klaus instantly asked. Caroline had gone pale and looked so worried.

Caroline was silent for a moment. Then, she found her voice once more. "We're having twins"

"Yes, love" Klaus was confused.

Caroline saw Klaus's puzzlement. "Twins? We're going to have double the work. It's going to be madness. We'll never have peace again"

Klaus chuckled at her face. She looked so worried. But, now he knew the cause he could laugh freely. "Of course we will, sweetheart. There's two of us and two of them. It will all be fine"

"No. You don't understand. We'll have double the amount of dirty diapers, double the trouble and yet half the sleep"

Klaus was deeply amused by Caroline's realisation. She was an only child and it was so obvious by her reaction. She had never had to look after anyone. He, on the other hand, had three younger siblings. No, two. His eyes watered slightly as he thought about Henrik's death. It had only been a year and a half ago. He had passed away from cancer. He blinked them away and continued. "It will all be fine, love. I have two younger siblings and so have changed my fair share of dirty diapers. Add to that my niece and I am well experienced" He explained calmly.

Caroline was oddly reassured. Here was Klaus Mikaelson, the most feared lawyer around, reassuring her that he knew how to deal with babies. That he had changed diapers and looked after children. She was glad he had agreed to help with their babies. It would have been hard without him. But, she reasoned, if it came down to it she would be able to do this alone. But, it was nice to have help. She changed the subject. "Did the nurse tell you how far gone I was?"

"No, love. Although if I were to hazard a guess, less than two months as you're not showing" Klaus reasoned logically. He had seen pregnancy first hand with his brother Elijah and sister-in-law Katherine. Katherine had been a pregnant nightmare and she hadn't began showing until after her second month. He knew this, not because he took a great deal of interest in her figure, but rather because Elijah felt it necessary to tell him every detail.

She stuck her tongue out. "No fair. You have experience"

"That's life, sweetheart" Klaus inched closer to her. "So, how far gone are you exactly?"

Caroline quickly grabbed her report. "I am 7 weeks and 2 days pregnant" She read off the sheet. "So, not that far off two months. In another seven, these little ones will be here" She looked down at her stomach.

The nurse came back in with a clutch of papers. "Miss Forbes, you are welcome to leave as soon as you sign these papers. Congratulations on the news" Then, she left them alone once more.

Caroline let out a small groan. "More paperwork"

"Here, I'll help you" Klaus took the papers and scanned them super fast. Then, he handed them back and indicated all the places she needed to sign.

She signed them quickly. "Thank you, Klaus. It gets a bit boring looking at paperwork all the time" Caroline made a subtle dig but it was all in jest. He did treat her like a PA but he did let her sit in on things. Occasionally. "I've done. Let's go"

They exited and handed the papers in.

"Now, let me take you for a meal somewhere" Klaus insisted as they approached his car. He wanted it to be part of the way to win back her trust.

Caroline was surprised. She thought he would want to just drop her home. "That would be nice. But, let's just go somewhere relaxed" She had seen the kinds of places Klaus went for dinner. They were usually high end, fancy restaurants where everyone looked immaculate. She wanted something more chilled tonight. Especially, as she didn't look as put together as normal. Her hair was falling out of her ponytail, she was wearing dark skinny jeans and an old Mystic Falls High hoodie. It was unusual for her to be so casually dressed but that morning she knew she didn't want to go anywhere. So she wanted to be lazy for once. And, at first it felt alien but throughout the day it felt more and more comfortable. But, she knew that tomorrow she would be back to herself.

"I know a great place, love. You'll love it" Klaus was certain Caroline would love this place. He had been a few times before and loved it every time. It was a change from the corporate dinners he normally attended and the very formal family meals he had at home.

They began driving.

A/N Thank you for reading! Please tell me if you liked it! Also, I have a question for you: Would you prefer me to go month by month for the pregnancy or continue as I am which will be slightly slower?

Sneak peak: Caroline and Klaus go on their first date. And, Caroline gets more than a glimpse into Klaus's elusive family.
