Chapter 9
Klaus's world stopped. His little girl was here, she had grown so much in his absent. 'She looks just like Rebekah when she was young' Klaus thought not taking his gaze off the only thing in this world he had done right. Rebekah noticed her brother's hesitations towards his daughter as she stared at him. "Mommy" Hope's voice broke through the silence again as she smiled and ran towards them, Josie and Lizzie not that far behind. The twins jumped into their mother's awaiting arms Caroline squeezing them feeling like she hadn't seen them in years. Hope ran passed Klaus towards Hayley, the female hybrid caught her daughter with ease as she copied Caroline's embrace.
Rebekah and Freya both caught the pain expression on Klaus's face before he hid it behind a mask of indifference. The Mikaelson sisters silently agree before Rebekah stands and suggest that everyone should give Hayley and Klaus a moment. Kol, Davina, Elijah and Marcel all follow Freya inside the cabin all knowing what this moment means to Klaus. Before Rebekah joined them she whispered in Caroline's ear to stay, the original vampire nodded her head in Klaus's direction and then to the twins making the baby vampire know that she was apart of this moment as well. With a quick wink she left.
Caroline crouched down to her daughters' level as they told her all about their time at Mary's friend's house. Caroline wanted Klaus to have this time with Hope before she introduced two more little girls to his life.
Hayley put Hope down so the little girl could face the man standing in front of them. Klaus's chest tightened, he was so glad that his heart was not beating because if it was then he was afraid that it would burst through his chest. "Hey sweetie do you know who this is" Hayley asked looking down at her daughter who had a shy look on her little face. The male hybrid crouched down to Hope's level staring her in the eyes trying to see if he could spot any recognition in them. Hope stepped away from her mother so she was directly in front of Klaus, the little hybrid reached her hand out and touched his cheek. Klaus's eyes closed as he felt her contact, he was silently wishing that this universe wouldn't be as cruel as taking his daughter's memory of him. Hope stared at Klaus and then back at her mother, "Of course I know daddy" Hope giggled with a big smile on her face. Klaus's eye shot open and stared in astonishment at his daughters little trick 'she's defiantly my daughter' he thought pulling Hope into his arms spinning her around. Hayley smiled at the beautiful moment before she noticed Caroline hadn't going in like everyone else, her eyes fell on the two little witches in her new friend's arms finally understanding why the blonde vampire hadn't left.
Hayley walked over to Caroline giving Klaus a private moment with their daughter, "Hey I'm just going to go in and give you guys sometime alone". "Oh no you don't have to, I'm sorry if I spoiled anything" Caroline enquired worried that Hayley had not wanted her there. "Of course you didn't Care, I just think you need to introduce your daughters to Klaus and you don't need an audience when you do so" Hayley said pulling all three into a hug before smiling and headed towards the cabin. "Daddy Daddy put me down. I want you to meet someone" Hope said giggling in her father's arms. Klaus gave Hope one more squeeze before settling her back onto the ground. "Oh and who might this someone be little wolf" Klaus replied smiling feeling like a ten ton bolder had been lifted from his chest. "Come on" Hope voiced pulling Klaus towards Caroline "Daddy these are my friends, Josie and Lizzie" the little hybrid happily shared with a big grin on her face.
Klaus send a quick wink to Caroline before he bent down facing Josie and Lizzie. "Well hello sweeties I'm Hope's dad" Klaus spoke with a gentleness that made Caroline heart jump as she watched. "Hey I'm Josie" the little brown haired girl said boldly going to stand by Hope who put her arms around the youngest girl. "Well it's very nice to meet you" Klaus replied smiling at the picture of his daughter being all protective of the little girl. "And that's Lizzie" Hope announced pointing at the little blonde girl who was currently hugging her mother's leg. "Hello cutie" Klaus spoke trying to show Lizzie she had nothing to be scared of, "Hello" she replied slowly moving away from Caroline. "You look like a brave girl Lizzie" Klaus said which earned him a big smile from both blondes. Hope and Josie moved so Lizzie could join them, Hope wrapped her other arm around the little blonde witch, "Oh and daddy this is their mommy Caroline, She made us promise to always look after each other". "Smart woman" Klaus stated standing back up straight staring at Caroline, "And Caroline this is my daddy" Hope proudly voiced.
"Hello Caroline, nice to meet you" Klaus said with a playful smirk on his face while he stepped up close to Caroline, giving her a quick wink. The baby vampire let out a giggle deciding to play along "Hey daddy" Caroline replied giving Klaus a flirtatious playful wink back. The smile slipped off the hybrid's face replacing it with one of pure want. 'God this women is going to be the death of me' Klaus thought "Hey daddy" Hope's voices pulled him from his thoughts "Yes little wolf, what is it" ,"Can me, Josie and Lizzie go and play now, we promise to stay in the garden" Hope asked staring at her father with big puppy dog eyes. Klaus took one look at the little girl's faces in his company and caved straight away "Of course you can, me and Caroline will stay out here with you girls, we will be sat just over there" Klaus answered point to the green iron table in the garden. "Ok daddy" Hope finished as she walked hand in hand with the twins into the garden.
"Their beautiful, Just like their mother" Klaus stated as he sat down at the table staring at the three girls running around trying to catch each other. Caroline blushed as she sat next to the hybrid "Thank you, Hope is beautiful as well". "Of course she is she takes after me" Klaus joked as Caroline rolled her eyes letting a little laugh slip. "I will protect them Caroline" Klaus stated turning the conversation into a serious one. The blonde turned and stared at the hybrid that had turned her world upside down ever since he walked into it. "I know you will, that's why we came here", "Then stay" Klaus asked already knowing the rejection that was about to follow but couldn't stop himself from voicing his wants. Caroline slipped her hand into Klaus's intertwining their fingers as she stared out at their children, a million of thoughts running through her head. Klaus never took his eyes off her face he still couldn't believe that she was here, in his city. Caroline took a deep breathe and turned her gaze towards the waiting hybrid. "Ok" Caroline whispered Klaus almost missing it, almost. "What love" Klaus had to ask because he felt like his ears were playing some sick joke on him. "I said ok we'll stay". Caroline started "But promise me Klaus that if this place becomes too dangerous for my girl, you will let me go. My first thoughts have to be about them" Caroline finished putting the ball in Klaus's court.
Klaus knew what Caroline was saying was true and as parents they have to put their children first. "I will protect you all with my dieing breath, but if by any means something happens that puts your daughters in danger I will let you leave but only for you Caroline. Only for you" Klaus vowed pulling the baby vampire onto his lap. Caroline leaned into him resting her head on his shoulder as they both stared at their children, who were currently lying down on the grass watching the clouds. "Thank you". A fear buried its way into Klaus's heart and mind because as he held his love and watched their daughters he realised that for the first time in his life he had something to lose, he had everything to lose.
The day went on and the night rolled in. Kol and Davina had left taking Marcel with them, the three went to find support from vampires, witches and even humans to swear loyalty to the Mikaelson family, so when they had defeated Theon it killed two birds with one stone. They got their home and city back all with one strike. Kol, Davina and Marcel had agreed with the rest of the group to meet up at the compound later. Mary had left to see if she could help find any werewolves who would go and fight or stay and protect Freya, Hayley and the little girls. Hayley had offered to put the kids to bed, Hope had kicked up a fuss wanting to stay up with the rest of her family. Freya was outside strengthening the boundary spell as well as casting other spell to cement their victory for tonight. Elijah was sat in the arm chair in the sitting area joined by team Barbie who took up the entire sofa. Klaus wasn't to happy that he couldn't sit next to Caroline and that the privilege was giving to his baby sister, so he had to sit opposite them in another chair. Elijah and his sister was having a whispered discussion while Klaus and Caroline had a silent staring contest.
The door to Hope's room opened and the female hybrid stepped out, "Are they asleep" Caroline asked settling her glass down on the coffee table losing her game with Klaus. "No" Hayley sighed in frustration "They surprisingly want Klaus to put them to bed". All the occupies in the room except Klaus had a shocked expression, Hayley moved to sit on the arm of Elijah's chair as the dark haired original put his arm around her. "Well aren't you going" Hayley said staring at Klaus when the hybrid hadn't moved. Klaus shot the female hybrid a quick glare before disappearing into the room. "I have to see this" Caroline said getting up and following the original hybrid into Hope's bedroom.
Klaus was sitting on the end of the bed that currently Josie, Lizzie and Hope were snuggled up in. "I heard that you ladies had requested me" Klaus said smoothing down the covers make sure they were all nice and warm. "Hope said you tell the best stories" Lizzie said her little voice softly travelling to Klaus's ears from her place curled up into his daughter's side. "She did, did she" Klaus answered "Ok I will tell you girls' one story and then you go to sleep" Klaus stated. "We promise daddy, can you please tell us the one about the wolf King and his little wolf princess" Hope asked with a big smile on her face. Klaus's heart jumped in admiration for his little girl who still remembered the story he had once told her when she was younger, he remembered telling her the story for the first time from the safety of her nursery in the compound. "Yes please" Josie and Lizzie said in unison, Klaus smiled at the little witches that hugged his hybrid daughter.
"Ok little wolf and witches, our story begins . . ." Klaus felling into the same story he had told countless of times to his daughter but found it special because this would be the first time Caroline's daughters would hear it. As Klaus finished he glanced at the now sleeping children with a soft smile on his face, he slowly got up and kissed all three girls on their heads before turning to head out of the room. As he turned, there leaning up against the wall right by the door was the woman who held his heart. Caroline had a loving smile on her lips after witnessing the precious moment he just had with their children. "Kiss me" Klaus was taken back with Caroline's request not quite sure if what she had said actually happened or if he was somehow dreaming. "Excuse me love" Klaus wanted to make sure the blonde knew what she had said, "I said kiss me" Caroline's smile grew as she saw Klaus move towards her with a grin that mirrored hers. He pushed her deeper against the wall with his body wanting to be touching every inch of her. His hands brushed her hair behind her ears before he slowly dragged them down her arm to settle on her waist, Caroline shivered at his touch remembering how good it felt.
"Tell me again" Klaus asked as he moved his lips to Caroline's exposed neck planting short hot open mouthed kisses to her flesh. Caroline moaned her eyes closed as her arms went around his neck, one hand gripped his neck while the other buried her fingers in his hair pulling him closer. "Kiss me" Caroline breathed out as she pulled his face away so he stared deep into her eyes. "Not that, Tell me again" Klaus demanded running his hand to the end of Caroline's dress and planting his hands on her thighs pulling them apart so he could be closer to her. Caroline's mind was swimming as Klaus's hands ran back up her body. 'What does he want me to say' Caroline thought as she herself ran a hand down his chest and stomach going to the edge of his grey Henley top slowly slipping her hand underneath. They just stared at each other, faces close breath mingling as their hands relearned every inch of each other. Caroline tried hard to think of the words the hybrid needed to hear to end this sweet pleasurable torture.
It finally came to here as he leaned in and bit her bottom lip. "I'll stay Klaus, I'll stay with you" Klaus smiled at the goddess in his arms "Finally love, I was about to burst" Klaus crashes his lips against Caroline's both not waiting before deepening the kiss further. Their tongues battled for dominance, each wanting to take from each other what they had been denied for years. Caroline's hand dragged her nails down Klaus's chest drawing blood which produced a lustful growl from the man she had so much power over. Klaus pulled away breathless as he stared at the woman in front of him, "I could kiss you forever". "Then shut up and kiss me" Caroline said with a tease tone to her voice while sending a playful wink to the big bad hybrid. Their lips met again in a heated embrace both oblivious of anything around them. Klaus's hands gripped her thigh through her dress as Caroline lifted a leg to hook up onto Klaus's waist bringing him closer. Their bodies fitted together like a puzzle finding a missing piece. Klaus pulled away and started a trail of kisses down to her neck, with each kiss he pulled a sweet moan for his goddess's lips.
The door to Hope's bedroom suddenly opened startling the lovers apart. Caroline pushed Klaus off her so quickly the hybrid didn't have time to react as he fell to the floor. There in the doorway was Rebekah wearing a knowing smirk on her face "Well if you two are done in here, it is time we go and get our home back" Rebekah teased.
