She turns back to the talking toddler in her arms and smiles. "Henry?" She says, catching his attention. "Car?" Henry repeats. "Car-o-line," she says slowly. Henry looks in to her eyes, determination on his face. "Car- o- ra," he replies. Caroline laughs and he smiles, thinking he's got it right. Klaus smiles and looks at Henry. "Klaus," Caroline says slowly, pointing to him. "Kleugh... Klu... Klaaahhh..." Henry tries, his mouth moving unnaturally to attempt the word. Henry frowns and gives up, finding it too hard to say. "Nik," Klaus says slowly. Henry looks over and frowns, "Nig... Nigk... Niiiik...NIK!" Henry giggles with delight and Caroline smiles at Klaus. "I guess you'll have to call me Nik from now on, love," he smirks, leaning against one of the post of the bed. She blushes and looks at Henry. "Carara!" Henry shouts with glee. A knock on the door catches all their attention and Rebekah walks in.
"I don't know how he-" she begins, stopping when she sees the toddler. "What? How?" She stutters. "Car?" Henry asks, confused at another blonde girl now walking in. Caroline laughs and gets Henry's attention. She points and says slowly, "Reb-ek-ah." Henry looks over and stares at her. "Rebe... Rebe... BEK!" He says determinedly. Rebekah stands in shock in the room, looking at Henry. "He was a..." she starts, not being able to finish her sentence. "You see why I need Caroline, now, love?" Klaus smirks, looking over to Caroline as she sits him on her hip. Klaus walks Rebekah over to Henry and Caroline. "Bekah, love," Klaus smirks, "Meet Henry." Klaus takes Henry's small arm in his fingers, holding out a hand to Rebekah. Caroline stifles a laugh as Rebekah cautiously takes the tiny hand in between her finger and thumb and shakes it lightly. "Can I leave now?" She asks, looking at Klaus. "What's wrong, Bekah?" Klaus teases, "Scared of a baby?" Caroline lets out a laugh and Rebekah glares, thinking it was aimed at her. Caroline looks at Klaus. "You came running to me when you found him! You can't say anyone is scared of him. You almost began begging for me to stay when I went for air freshener," She giggles. Rebekah holds back a smile, raising her eyebrows at Klaus. He glares at his sister and she lets out a small laugh. "You'd look more threatening if you put down the toddler's arm," she smiles, patting Henry's fluffy hair before flashing away.
"BEK!" Henry shouts, waving a tiny fist in the air. Caroline smiles and turns to Klaus. "We've had him a day and he's already acting like you," she mumbles. "What can I say?" Klaus shrugs innocently. "I'm too charming for my own good," he smirks. She rolls her eyes, smiling at him. "I'd say you're too Klaus for your own good," She replies, bending over the cot and placing Henry inside.
He snuggles under the blanket as Caroline drapes it over him. She leans over, waiting for him to fall in to a sleep. Klaus shuts the door before flashing beside her, holding her hips in his hands. She straightens up slowly until her shoulder rests against his. His hands slide up to her waist and she pushes them back down, raising her eyebrows at him. "Can't blame a man for trying, love," he smirks. She turns to face him, staring in to his eyes intensely. "Why are you trying?" She asks, pouting her lips slightly at him. "You're beautiful, Caroline," he says simply, "Full of light. Strong. I can't help but be attracted to you." She blushes lightly, but doesn't look away. "Now, tell me, love," he smirks, "Why haven't you walked away from me?" She shrugs at him. "You're the mysterious bad guy," she sighs, "how am I not meant to be intrigued by that?" His smirk grows in to a devilish grin. "Don't look so proud," she says, rolling her eyes. "Don't play hard to get, then, love," he whispers, his voice low and husky. A shiver runs through her and she takes in a sharp breath, searching in his eyes. His hands begins sliding back up her sides and she watches him as he studies her for a reaction. His hands reach the top of her ribs, beside her breasts and she takes a deep breath, watching his smile turn in to a flat line, examining her. Something in the way she looks at him makes him step closer, their bodies almost pressed together as he looks down at her. Her eyes look conflicted, like there's something holding her back and something pushing her forward, too. Her hands move from the bar of the cot to his waist, her fingers fisting his shirt loosely as she rises on to her toes. Their eyes almost level and she looks down at his lips for a moment, wanting nothing more than to press hers to them. But something holds her back and she stands, looking at his eyes again. A low growl rumbles through him, shaking his body and Caroline gasps lightly, feeling it against her body. He forcefully presses his lips to hers and she tilts her head to fit their mouths together better. He tries to press her lips open and she smirks reluctantly. She brings his bottom lip in to her mouth, dragging it through her teeth playfully. He growls and pulls her to the bed and lying them down. He climbs over her, making the kiss deeper as he takes control.
Someone knocks on the door and he pulls away, growling loudly at the door. Henry begins to stir, whimpering, and Caroline moves from under Klaus to soothe him. Klaus walks over to the door and throws it open, glaring at Elijah. "I need to speak with you," Elijah says simply, turning from the door and walking down the corridor. "I'll see you in the morning, love," Klaus says, turning to her for a moment before walking back out of the door. Caroline takes a deep breath before shaking her head. That was too much, she says to herself. She bites at her bottom lip and grabs her pyjamas from the bag, heading to the bathroom to change.
