Hey guys! Here is the next chapter :) I am so so sorry for the long wait! I hope you guys like this chapter!
Klaus noticed Caroline heading to the door. He wanted to go over to her because he wanted to ask her for her number.
Klaus was about to follow Caroline out when Tatia stopped him. Klaus bumped into her and huffed.
"Do you mind!?" He spat.
"Where are you going?" Tatia sneered.
"Outside," Klaus answered.
"For what? You want to get a booty call from that blonde bimbo?" Tatia spat back venomously.
"What the fuck are you saying Tatia! Caroline is my friend." Klaus defended.
"Yeah, well guess what Nik… You're friend's a hoe." Tatia accused as she crossed her arms over her chest.
Klaus' eyes bore holes into Tatia's and he said, "Talk about her like that again, and this wedding is off."
"You don't scare me Niklaus. If anybody was to call of the wedding it would be me. My family owns you."
"I beg your pardon?" Klaus asked shocked.
"How do you think your family still has money? My father gives them money." She said, a smile forming on her glossy lips.
"What are you talking about?" He asked as he furrowed his eyebrows at her in confusion.
"Your family is broke… Who would've thought? The Mikaelson's are broke and living off the Petrov's money." Tatia giggled.
"You're lying." Klaus accused his fiancée.
"Am I?" Tatia asked him.
"Yes," He mumbled.
"Well if you don't believe me, then perhaps you should go and talk to your mother who is sitting right over there…" Tatia said as she pointed at an older woman with blonde hair sitting at the table near the end.
"Fuck off," Klaus spat, as he pushed passed her.
Caroline was standing outside when Klaus came out. Caroline looked over at him confused.
"Hey," Caroline said to him.
"Hey," He said back and smiled down at her.
"Did you need something?" Caroline wondered as she crossed her arms over her chest because of the breeze.
Klaus nodded and shrugged out of his suit. He placed the suit on Caroline's shoulders and Caroline looked over at him surprised.
"I'm fine," She said.
"It's chilly out here Caroline. The least I could do is make sure that you're warmer." Klaus beamed at her through his dimpled smile.
"Thank you," Caroline smiled.
"You're welcome… Now I was wondering if I could get your number."
"Oh… Yeah, of course." Caroline said.
Klaus nodded at her and handed her his cell phone. Caroline quickly dialed in her number and saved it for him. Caroline gave Klaus the phone back and he smiled at her.
Klaus asked, "Do you want my number?"
"Yeah! Of course," Caroline said as she giggle and took out her cell phone. She handed Klaus her cell phone and he took it from her.
He saved his number to her contacts and handed it back to her.
"Why are you leaving already?" Klaus asked.
"I'm feeling a bit tired… It's been a long day." Caroline confessed.
"Indeed," Klaus nodded.
"Well, I guess I'll talk to you later… Goodnight Klaus," Caroline said to him as she saw the taxi approaching.
"Goodnight Caroline," Klaus said back to her.
Caroline smiled at him and went over to the taxi cab. She opened the door and before she got in she said, "Make sure that Henrik drinks a lot of water."
"I will," Klaus assured her.
"Good, uh- goodnight!" Caroline said as she pulled his suit tighter around herself.
"Sweet dreams." Klaus said back to her.
Caroline got into the taxi cab and closed the door. The cab driver drove off and Caroline looked down at the suit, realizing that she never gave Klaus his suit back.
"Shit…" She mumbled to herself.
When Klaus got back inside, Henrik went over to him.
"Are you alright?" Klaus asked his baby brother worriedly.
"I'm alright… Where's Caroline?" Henrik asked.
"You just missed her." Klaus replied.
"Shit…" Henrik muttered.
"Why did you need her?" Klaus asked curiously.
"I wanted to thank her." Henrik said.
"Oh… I'm sure we'll see Caroline again soon enough."
"We'll?" Henrik asked as he raised his eyebrows at his brother.
Klaus rolled his eyes and nudged Henrik playfully. Klaus went over to his mother and sat down beside her. Tatia's parents were currently on the dance floor.
"Niklaus," Esther greeted.
"Is it true?" Klaus asked, getting straight to the point.
"What?" Esther asked confused.
"Are the Petrov's giving us money?" Klaus asked.
Esther looked down at her hands sadly and Klaus took in a sharp breath.
"Why?" He asked.
"The money that Mikael left isn't yet working. His bank accounts are frozen. We have to wait another three months." Esther answered hastily.
Mikael passed away three months ago.
"I have money mother. I can support our family."
"I know you can but I don't want you to. You have your own life." Esther said.
"My life revolves around our family. You know that!"
"Your life might revolve around our family right now, but in two months you are going to be married and your life will revolve around Tatia."
"My family comes before her." Klaus said quickly.
"She is your family." Esther said before she got out of her chair.
Klaus watched as his mother walked away from him and he sighed. He felt his phone vibrate and he took it out.
He noticed that it was Caroline and he smiled to himself. He opened up the text message and read:
Hey, I forgot to give you your suit back… -C.
I know, -K. Klaus texted to her as a small smirk began to form on his lips.
You know? –C. Caroline typed as she closed her apartment door behind her.
Yeah, -K.
Why didn't you ask for it back? –C. She wondered.
I wanted you to be warm. –K. Klaus answered her.
Caroline read the text message and a small smile began to form on her lips.
Thanks I guess. Goodnight! –C.
Goodnight love, -K.
Tatia went over to Klaus and frowned at him.
"Who are you texting?" She asked.
"I'm not," Klaus lied.
"You're lying." Tatia accused.
"And you're annoying. Honestly Tatia, you have to stop controlling me. I am not your possession." Klaus spat.
"You may not be my possession but you are my fathers."
Klaus burst out laughing and Tatia looked at him with wide eyes.
"That's a good one Tatia. Really good one." Klaus muttered as he left her.
Four Weeks Later:
Caroline sat on her bed with her legs pressed up against her chest. She looked over at the pregnancy test doubtfully. Caroline knew what the results would say. It would be positive.
Caroline doubted that she was pregnant two weeks ago but when her period never came she started to worry.
Caroline tried to stop thinking about the whole pregnancy thing, but she couldn't. Klaus and Caroline were friends but they both weren't ready to find out the truth.
Bonnie came into Caroline's bedroom and handed her a cup of tea.
"Is it ready yet?" Bonnie asked curiously as she eyed the stick and then the suit that was next to Caroline. Klaus still didn't pick up his suit.
Caroline shook her head no and sipped the tea. Her nerves were on edge and Bonnie frowned.
"I'm pregnant," Caroline said.
"I thought you said the results weren't ready…" Bonnie replied confused.
"They're not, but I missed my period Bon."
"That doesn't mean anything. Women miss their periods sometimes." Bonnie tried to reassure her best friend.
"I never missed my period though, Bonnie." Caroline countered.
Bonnie sighed and looked over at Caroline with a small frown on her lips.
Caroline looked down at her cell phone and jumped off of her bed when she saw that the five minutes were up. She went over to the stick and picked it up.
"Oh my god," Caroline said as she looked down at the stick.
"What?" Bonnie asked as she ran over to her best friend.
"It's official, I'm pregnant." Caroline said as she showed Bonnie the stick.
"You need to tell Klaus." Bonnie said as she put a reassuring hand on Caroline's arm.
"He's getting married in a month Bonnie. How am I supposed to break this to him?" Caroline asked as she looked over at Bonnie with desperate blue eyes.
"I think he understands that this was a possibility. You guys have been talking to one another for the past four weeks… non-stop, and I am sure this subject came up."
"It did," Caroline admitted.
"Call him Care, what's the worst that can happen?" Bonnie wondered.
"I'll call him but not right now." Caroline said nervously.
"The sooner you tell him the better." Bonnie assured.
"You're right, but right now I think I am just going to lie down and think things through." Caroline said as she sighed, going over to her bed and getting onto it.
"Alright," Bonnie muttered as she smiled at Caroline reassuringly.
Caroline gave her a small smile back and turned to the other side. When Caroline heard her bedroom door close she curled up into a ball silently.
Caroline Forbes was going to be a mother, a single mother at that.
She knew that Klaus wouldn't just leave his fiancée just to help her out with the baby and she understood that. She wasn't going to allow him to ruin his own life because of this situation.
Everything would be fine, she kept repeating to herself.
Caroline closed her eyes and placed her hand on her belly. In a couple of months her baby bump would be visible and people would start asking questions. Caroline huffed and grabbed her cell phone.
She dialed Klaus' number and he picked up on the second ring.
"Caroline?" He asked on the other end of the line.
"Hey," Caroline whispered.
"Are you alright?"
"Sure… Can you come over? We need to talk."
"Yeah of course, I'll be there in an hour."
"See you then." Caroline said before hanging up on him
Caroline got out of her bed and began to clean. She took Klaus' suit and hung it in the closet. She threw away the pregnancy test box and cleaned up her desk.
After Caroline was finished cleaning she went into the kitchen where Bonnie sat.
"Did you call him?" Bonnie asked.
"He's coming over right now." Caroline said.
"Should I leave?" Bonnie asked.
"Nah, it's okay…"
"Yeah, I think I am going to go." Bonnie said as she left the kitchen.
Caroline sighed and looked around the kitchen. She went over to the refrigerator and took out all of the ingredients she needed to bake some of her famous brownies.
Bonnie left the apartment and Caroline mixed all of the ingredients. She then turned on the oven and slid the brownies in.
Thirty minutes later Caroline heard her door bell ring. She opened the door and Klaus stood there with a bag of sushi.
"Can I come in?" He asked.
"Yes, of course." Caroline said as she motioned for him to come inside.
Klaus entered Caroline's apartment and looked around. This was the first time that he was here since their night just four weeks ago.
"Come on," Caroline said as she motioned to the kitchen.
Klaus took off his shoes and followed her into the kitchen. He sat down and smelled the sweet scent.
"Are you baking something?" He asked.
"I am," Caroline answered. "Do you like brownies?"
"I love brownies," Klaus smiled at her.
"Good, because they are almost ready." Caroline said as she smiled at him.
"Wonderful, do you like sushi?"
"Yup," Caroline nodded.
"As do I,"
Caroline nodded and went over to the cabinets. She reached for two plates and gave a plate to Klaus. Klaus handed her a chopstick and she took it happily. Klaus opened up the containers and took out the teriyaki sauce and spicy mayo.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Klaus asked even though he knew.
"I- I'm pregnant." Caroline stuttered.
Klaus nodded at her and reached for her hand. He gave her hand a light squeeze and smiled at her reassuringly.
"I won't let you go through this alone. I'll be here for you. Every step of the way." Klaus told her honestly.
