Disclaimer: I own nothing

Caroline stared at Elijah's shocked face and couldn't help the laugh that slipped out. She understood why he was so shocked but was also a little hurt on Klaus' behalf. Did his siblings all really think that Klaus lost the ability to love?

"How is that so?" Elijah asked and Caroline sighed and ran a hand through her blonde curls. She really couldn't wait to get out of there and take a shower.

"That is a long story and to be honest I have no idea why the most powerful creature on the planet would be in love with a baby vampire but I am sure that he is and I have known for a while now" she told Elijah watching his facial expressions carefully. He was now the only Original that she hadn't spent time with, besides Finn and she didn't see that happening, and he was so hard to read.

"We have time" was all he said and Caroline smiled as she began her tale of all her interactions with Klaus. From the first time she laid eyes on him at senior prank night when he turned Tyler to a hybrid, to when he ordered Tyler to bite her so he could swoop in and save her to earn favor with her mother. She told him about the ball where he gave her the beautiful blue dress and how she wore his bracelet and then threw it in his face all the while putting him in his place. She told him about the drawing he made for her and how she still had it and packed it with when she came to New Orleans. She explained all the little details even the ones she was not so proud of. How she was the little blonde distraction and how she helped her friends in the plot to dagger Kol. How she felt when he looked at her with betrayal and hurt in his eyes and how she felt guilty for a long time afterwards. She told him about how he saved her from Alaric but didn't warn him about the attack her friends had planned. How he only came because she was in trouble, how he rescued her from the council in Tyler body and kissed her. She told him about the night of Kol's death and how she had nothing to with it and walked in to face an angry hybrid. She told how Tyler provoked him and that she didn't help the situation. How he staked her in the stomach with a lamp post and then bit her. How she told him she knew he was in love with her and how at the last minute he put his revenge to the side and saved her life. She then went on and told him about Silas' mind games and the trick he played on Klaus with the white oak and the words they screamed at each other in the heat of the moment. She told him about prom all though she glazed over the details of her and Klaus' alone time together. How she finally gave in to what she was feeling, that despite all the horrible things he had done to her friends she had still grown to care for the man beneath the monster. And finally she told him how he saved her and her friends at graduation, how he gave Damon his blood without any bargain because she asked him to. And then his parting words to her, how he once again put his revenge to the side to allow Tyler, who she wasn't even in love with anymore, come back to her so that she could be happy. How he was willing to wait for her because he wanted to be her last love. Elijah listened intently getting angry at some parts and surprised at others. He smiled as he listened to the emotion in her voice as he spoke of his brother, even the terrible things he had done. How she was so confused because she felt for someone who had tried to at one point in time to harm each and every one of her friends.

"I must say I am quiet shocked" Elijah said with a shake of his head, he turned and looked Caroline directly in the eye.

"Are you in love with my brother as well?" he asked and Caroline felt her heart rate speed up and her face become flushed. She didn't want to tell Elijah anything before she had a chance to speak to Klaus so she only smiled at him. Elijah smiled in return, that was answer enough for him.

"I will protect you Caroline, you and this child with my life. You have my word" Elijah said his face becoming serious as he laid his hand on top of Caroline's. She squeezed his hand in thanks and nodded her head happy she was winning over this family that was now hers.

"Thank you Elijah" she whispered and then turned to the entrance where she heard noise coming from. Sophie entered with Klaus behind her. Klaus stared at Caroline with wonder in his eyes and Caroline smiled at him as she stood up.

"Can I get out of here now?" she asked as she looked at Sophie with a glare.

"That depends will you help us?" she asked turning to Klaus "You know him best, taught him all he knows."

"If it is Marcel's death you want I will kill him myself" Elijah spoke up from beside Caroline, Sophie shook her head.

"No this has to play out a certain way and you will do things my way or so help me I will find a vampire to rip out my heart and there will be no coming back for Caroline or her baby" Sophie threatened, Klaus glared at her but remained silent for a moment.

"If I do things your way Caroline comes with us and no harm will come to her or our child am I understood?" Klaus asked flashing his eyes quickly, Sophie noticeably gulped but stood her ground.

"Understood" she said with a nod and gestured for Caroline to go. Caroline eyed the witch as she made her way to Klaus' side, when she reached him he gripped her hand in his and pulled her away, flashing out of the cemetery and onto an empty street.

"They didn't hurt did they love?" he asked as he eyed her from head to toe.

"No I'm fine they were more annoying than anything" she said and Klaus nodded with a small smile.

"Good" he said and then pulled Caroline into his arms hugging her tightly to himself. He inhaled deeply taking her scent of lavender and vanilla deep within himself. Caroline smiled against his neck and rubbed a hand down his back before Klaus stepped away again. "We need to head to the house." Klaus said still staring down at Caroline but speaking to Elijah.

"Did he find you?" Caroline asked with a look of excitement in her face. Klaus smirked and nodded while Elijah looked on confused.

"What is going on?" Elijah questioned placing his hands into his suit pants pockets.

"You shall see" Klaus said and then gathered Caroline into his arms before flashing off towards the plantation house. Elijah stood there for a moment with a frown on his face before he took off after his brother. Elijah stopped in front of the open door and walked inside quickly, he could hear Caroline's voice from the study so he followed it and stopped in the threshold not believing his eyes.

"Kol?" he questioned in surprise, Kol turned to his eldest brother with a wide smile on his face.

"Ah dearest big brother, happy to see me?" Kol joked but he could see the tears shimmering in Elijah's eyes.

"How?" Elijah asked his voice breaking slightly causing him to clear his throat slightly afterwards.

"You can thank this lovely young lady right here" Kol said pointing at Caroline who blushed slightly and looked down at her fingers.

"I do not know how you have done this Caroline but thank you" Elijah said as he stepped farther into the room and grabbed his brother into a hug. Kol immediately hugged him back fighting off his own emotions at being reunited with his family. Klaus looked on with a stone face but on the inside he was feeling rather joyous. Most of his family was back together and for once they weren't fighting and it was all because of the little baby vampire beside him. Caroline smiled at the scene in front of her, she was happy that Kol was able to be revived and got to be with his family again. Growing up as an only child Caroline never really understood the bonds between siblings and Bonnie and Elena were the closest thing to sisters she had ever gotten, but this in front of her was something to behold. She could feel the love between each of them, even Klaus who kept a blank face but his eyes told it all. Elijah finally pulled back and just stared at Kol for a long minute with his hands resting on Kol's shoulders. He broke out in a wide grin and shook his head a little to himself hoping that this moment was for real.

"As touching as this reunion is I believe that Kol has some information for us" Klaus said breaking the family moment. Kol and Caroline both tensed up and Kol took a step back from Elijah and sat on the edge of the desk behind him. He shared a look with Caroline that had Klaus clenching his jaw in jealousy. He had no idea what had transpired between his brother and Caroline as they made their way down to New Orleans, but whatever it was they seemed to have grown close and Klaus didn't know how he felt about that.

"Ah yes, I do believe that we all could use a drink to go along with this tale" he said as he stood and made his way over to the bar on the other side of the room. "None for you darling" Kol threw over his shoulder with a smirk towards Caroline who rolled her eyes and huffed in annoyance.

"I know Kol" she snapped but Kol just laughed, Elijah and Klaus shared a look but did not comment on the discussion. All was quiet in the room besides the sounds of pouring liquid and then glass tapping against glass as Kol carried over the tumblers and handing one to each of his brothers. He took a long sip of his own while settling against the desk again. Caroline shifted from one foot to the other as she looked between each brother before her eyes settled on Kol and she nodded once. Kol let out a long sigh causing Klaus to grit his teeth in frustration.

"Will you tell us what the bloody hell you have to already" Klaus snapped and Caroline shot him a look he didn't quite understand.

"Always were so impatient Nik" Kol snipped with a small smile and then placed his glass tumbler on the desk and folded his hands in his lap. "So the Bennett witch resurrected me after she successfully desiccated Silas. From what I know the elder Salvatore dumped him somewhere. Caroline and I left immediately afterwards because I needed to feed but from what we were told she then went on to resurrect the doppelganger's brother, which her grandmother told her not to, and got herself killed." Klaus looked at Caroline and seen the sorrow written all over her face. Klaus could have cared less for the witch, but Kol was right, she was Caroline's friend.

"I am sorry for your lost sweetheart" Klaus whispered, Caroline looked over with a small smile and nodded.

"Thank you" she whispered back and then looked back at Kol. Klaus turned towards his brother again wondering what else there could have been that he needed to say.

"While Caroline and I were at her home trying to devise a plan against the witches she received a call from the doppelganger about the little witch and we headed over there. After a lot of shouting and comforting Jeremy informed us that the Bennett witch had died before she could lift the veil so her grandmother had to do it. All though from the same bloodline she was unable to keep everyone in since she was not the originator of the spell" Kol said and then looked at both of his brothers. Elijah looked deep in thought while Klaus become more frustrated as the story went on. Caroline reached out and grabbed Klaus' hand, Klaus looked at her with raised brows but squeezed her hand allowing her presence to calm him. Caroline bit her lip knowing that Klaus was about to seriously freak the fuck out once he heard the next part.

"So from what we were told, Alaric and Stephan's friend Lexi were able to escape going back to the other side" Caroline said and then bit her lip again, she glanced at Elijah and then focused on Klaus alone. She heard more than saw Kol stand up and move behind her, she internally rolled her eyes at him. She knew Klaus wouldn't hurt her but Kol wasn't so sure.

"What else?" Elijah asked as his eyes darted between Caroline and Kol, Caroline sighed and lowered her gaze from Klaus' before meeting it again.

"Also Finn and Sage" she whispered and squeezed Klaus' hand tighter. Klaus and Elijah froze on the spot, was it possible that their family could be complete again.

"I see why that would worry you love but you have nothing to fear I wouldn't allow my brother to cause you any harm" Klaus said taking her stiffness for fear of retaliation from Finn. Caroline shook her head at Klaus quickly.

"I'm not afraid of that" she said slowly hoping he would catch on before she had to spell it out.

"Then what is it?" Klaus asked, he glanced at Elijah and then at Kol and his eyes widened.

"Mikael and Ester" Caroline whispered at the same moment that his mind said the words. They had both died within the expression triangle and now they were back.

"No" Klaus roared and snatched his hand back from Caroline's and his eyes flashed and his hybrid features came out on full display. Kol quickly pulled Caroline away from his brother and pushed her behind himself. Elijah became a statue as his worst fears were confirmed. He had believed that he wouldn't have to deal with either of his parents after they had died, but once again they had come back to haunt them.

"Where is Rebekah?" Klaus asked, his voice coming out with a low growl. He was angry and wanted to rip through bodies and spill blood, but most of all he was terrified. Not for himself, and for once not even for his siblings, but for her. He looked at Caroline who was peeking at him from behind Kol's side. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to compose himself, he opened his eyes again and stepped towards Caroline but Kol stepped forward. Klaus glared at him but Kol stood his ground.

"Are you under control Nik?" Kol asked seriously, Klaus wanted to scream and yell and break things, but he knew that wouldn't help so he just nodded. Kol studied him for a moment and then nodded once before stepping to the side. Caroline rushed forward and grabbed Klaus' face in her hands.

"I am sorry that I frightened you love" Klaus said and closed his eyes only to have them to snap open when Caroline laughed.

"You didn't, I actually expected for you to act worst" Caroline admitted with a smile. Klaus shook his head at the ridiculous woman in front of him. Where others would have ran in fear at the sight of his hybrid face she wanted to embrace him.

"You are truly a wonder" Klaus whispered and leaned his forehead against hers while he tried to center himself.

"We really should try and get a hold of Bekah" Kol said breaking the moment between the two. Klaus lifted his head to look at him and when Caroline went to step away he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her to his side. There was no way he was letting her out of sight, let alone his reach with his parents on the loose.

"I agree" Elijah said finally breaking out of his own thoughts. "I will call her" he said as pulled his phone out of his pocket as he made his way out of the room. He quickly dialed his sister's number and then sighed in relief when her voice came in from the other line.
