It's been three hours and they've somehow managed to get it done even with Vicki, Caroline and Rebekah throwing out the occasional dance party when certain songs come on the radio.

They're currently on the bed Klaus and Jeremy just put in and jumping around to something upbeat. "Are you sure you're supposed to that, babe?" Jeremy asks worriedly as Vicki bounces around with Caroline and Rebekah. "Oh, hush, it's a baby, not a bomb!" Vicki scolds before jumping in to his arms. "I can still have fun with my baby sis if I want to."

"Not a baby," Caroline sings, spinning Rebekah under her arm before jumping on Klaus' back and scaring him. "God, Caroline," he gasps, holding her legs and turning his head to face her as she giggles and kisses his cheek. He walks out to the moving van as she sings the last verse of the song to him.

Liz and Vicki smile stupidly at one another before Vicki grabs Rebekah's hand and pulls her out of the room. "Oh, okay," Rebekah mumbles as she stumbles after the pregnant girl. Liz walks in to the kitchen behind them and they shut the door, checking that Caroline's still gone.

"Does he know?" Vicki asks Rebekah. Rebekah nods with a sad smile and Vicki demands to know everything, sitting down opposite her and leaning forward like an over excited freshman hearing about a best friend's first kiss. "Well, erm," Rebekah looks away nervously and Liz laughs. "Vicki, don't intimidate her," Liz scolds before sitting next to Rebekah. "We just want to know how serious this is," Liz says quietly as Caroline's singing comes back in to the house and Klaus warns her not to drop anything.

"Oh, Nik is very serious," Rebekah says with a small frown. "He's had too much bad happen to him and Caroline's the only good thing that's happened for a very long time. My father, his step father, was a monster, but that's all I'm going to say... Nik and Caroline just... fit, you know? I mean, I wanted them to get together before they even knew each other because they just seem great together. I haven't seen Nik so happy before and she's helping him. He told her everything, too, and it... It means he cares about her a lot and trusts her, which is hard for him."

"How long have they known each other?" Liz asks warily, "She told me they met Friday night, but... it's a bit..." She trails off and looks to Vicki for help. "Look, we know that you know about... Damon," Vicki says, spitting out the name, "so you can see why we're worried about her jumping in to something. When Care wants something, she'll take it even if she'll end up hurt in the end. I don't like it, but that's how she is. She is so strong, but I don't know what it will take to break her, and I really don't want it to be your brother that breaks her."

Rebekah nods and gives them a sad smile. "Nik would never hurt her," she reassures, "Not on purpose. It's going to be hard for him, because he doesn't know how to be in a relationship like this, he's not very good at holding a relationship with me and my brothers as it is. He is definitely trying with her though, and all they've done is kiss and give each other those looks. I mean, have you seen them?" Vicki laughs and Liz smiles, "We have."

The door opens and Caroline looks at them nervously as they jump up to their feet. "Hey, Carebear," Vicki smiles sweetly. "If you're going to talk about me, at least try to make it a secret," Caroline smirks, "I could hear you and... You could just ask me about this." Vicki blushes a dark red as her mom looks away sheepishly. Rebekah drops her head and looks up under her lashes at Caroline. "Don't give me one of your brother's puppy dog faces," Caroline laughs, "He's already done that three times today and I'm taking anymore of them. Kiss my ass, Bekah."

"What a fine one it is, too, Carebear," Jeremy teases as he shuffles past her. "Dude, I'm right here," Vicki laughs, slapping his arm as he wraps his arms around her. "And all of you is beautiful, Vicki, especially your tummy that holds my daughter," he tells her before kissing her sweetly. "Hey, no PDA," Caroline scolds teasingly. "My house, my rules," Jeremy pouts, kissing Vicki again. "My daughter, my rules," Liz teases, prodding him off Vicki. He laughs with the girls before they all move back to the bedroom, his arms still around Vicki from behind and his hands on her bump.

Caroline leans against the door frame and looks around the room with a smile. Stefan and Rebekah strike up a conversation, smiling the whole time easily; her mom, Elena and Vicki are teasing Jeremy; Matt and Jacob are being all cute in the corner, painting each other more than they are the wall and Klaus is... Where's Klaus gone?

Strong arms wrap around her from behind and she smiles. "What are you thinking about, love?" He asks, resting his chin on her shoulder. "That my family is strange," she says honestly, "But I wouldn't change it for the world." She feels him smiling against her cheek and she bites her lip, trying to figure out how Klaus fits in her life so perfectly and easily without having to try.

"What was the secret girl meeting that Jeremy interrupted about?" He asks quietly, pulling her out in to the hall. "Us," she says, turning around to face him as he leans against the wall. "Really?" He smirks, "What about us?" She wraps her arms around his neck and shrugs, "My mom and Vicki were just being over protective and asking if I'm okay with you. Rebekah managed to get them to see how great we are being... this."

He leans forward so his forehead is resting against hers. "What is this, Caroline?" He asks, his eyes so clear with emotion she smiles. "Well, I don't know," she says honestly. "I'm happy with you. I feel safe and I know you won't judge me or anything. It's... right." His smile grows in to that adorable dimpled one and she feels flutters in her tummy. "I'm happy with you, too, love," he agrees. "So, will you be my girlfriend, Caroline?" He asks seriously. "Yes," she whispers nervously.

A new burst of happiness (and relief) goes through him and he kisses her with so much passion that she can hardly breathe. The rest of the world falls away as she deepens the kiss and loses her hands in his hair. His arms tighten around her waist so he pulls her closer, their bodies pushed against each other so she has to arch her back to reach him.

A throat awkwardly clears from behind and they freeze, Klaus pulling away quickly and looking at Vicki smirking and Jeremy looking everywhere else. "Smooth," she laughs, patting Caroline's back. "Don't let mom catch you or she'll fuck shit up." She walks away, pulling Jeremy behind her and he look down at Caroline's blank face. "Do you want to go to the Grill?" She asks, her eyes pleading with him as she smooths down his hair again. "Sure," he smiles as his arms slide from her so he holds her hips. She sighs and pulls him out of the house by the hand, practically skipping as she shouts to her mom that they're leaving.

He smiles, watching her so carefree and happy. He realises that this sit the first time in his life he's ever felt like this, and he really doesn't want anything to go wrong. She looks back at him with a grin and watches him fumbling with his keys in his free hand. She enjoys this, just them. She loves how happy she is and how she finally feels like she's whole and not so broken anymore. She wishes for it to last as long as possible.

AN: So much fluff. Is too soon to be this... mushy? Review, please!
