I can't believe this took almost a whole year to write just ten chapters, but it did, and I'm sorry! This chapter is not really the best, especially the ending, but it's all I had time for at the moment.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR KIND SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT! IT MEANT SO MUCH!
Please remember to review at the end! :)
One Year Later
The cool breeze of from the ocean hit her face like a wave upon the sands, and she smiled as she wrapped her arms around her.
"What do you see?"
She smiled, and softly turned around to face the man, who in a few hours, she would marry. "I only see the water." She answered, moving towards him, slowly wrapping her arms around his neck, holding him close to her body. "And you." She added, feeling him sigh with contentment.
"They'll be arriving soon." He remarked, feeling her slowly nod her head. "A year has gone by, and yet it feels like I've known you for eternity." He whispered, kissing the exposed skin of her shoulder.
She nodded, and pulled back. "I know you didn't want to wait, Klaus." She began, but he silenced her with his lips.
"I would have waited forever, love, if that meant you would be the prize." He returned, watching her smile.
"Grammy said you were worth the wait." Caroline stated, watching him smile with a small chuckle.
Klaus nodded his head, and pursed his lips. "And you?" He asked, with a teasing light shining in his eyes.
She hummed, and threaded her fingers through his hair. "I think…you…are more than worth it." She murmured, kissing his lips in a slow, gentle fashion.
He smiled, and held her close, never wanting to let her go. "I can't believe I waited a whole year to put a ring on your finger." He muttered, kissing her cheek, lightly.
She smiled, and pushed her body close to him, loving the feel of him against her, as she always did. "The wait is over, Klaus." She returned, softly. "Today, I become your wife, and you my husband." She said, feeling him pull back to look into her eyes.
After he had proposed that morning, they had spent the rest of the day walking along the shoreline, just talking, getting to know each other more than before, although, they didn't care about that part. They only cared about the part that they loved each other, and wanted to be together for all eternity.
They shared something that they never dreamed they would share with anyone else; they shared a love so strong that they knew they could overcome any obstacle, such as time.
During the year, Caroline had moved back to the city with him, sporting a ring on her left hand that shimmered like the ocean on a summer day. She lived with her fiancée, loving him during the night and day, and just enjoying being close to a man who appreciated her and loved her.
Stefan and Rebekah had married four months after that morning, and Caroline had been Rebekah's maid of honor, which had shocked a lot of the guests, but Caroline had held no grudge, for she was happy for her ex-husband, and they couldn't really talk too much, once they saw the blue topaz engagement ring on Caroline's left hand, and the love shared between Caroline and Klaus.
Kol had become very successful as an artist in the short year. His paintings of soldiers on the battlefield, coming home, and family were some of the most loved pieces of art the city had known, and he owed it all to Caroline.
Caroline never understood the connection between Kol and Bonnie, until Bonnie told her one afternoon, of how she had served as a nurse on the other side of the world for a time, and that's how she had met Kol.
He had been wounded, and she had tended to those wounds, and stayed by his side until they learned he was being shipped stateside.
They never knew that they lived in the same city, until that fateful day she bumped into him. Since then, they had become inseparable, and were working on establishing a more concrete relationship, but neither one was in a hurry.
Elijah and Katherine had married a few months ago, and though they knew Klaus didn't hold a grudge, they kept their distance, which was fine with Klaus.
Caroline still visited her Grammy, and with Klaus by her side, they split their time between the city and the island, both loving the calm atmosphere of the island around them.
Klaus gazed into the sea colored eyes of the woman who held his heart, and smiled. "I love the sound of that." He whispered, huskily, brushing his lips over hers in a slow, tantalizing manner.
She giggled, and felt her body being lifted against his body. "Mr. Possessive." She murmured against his lips.
He hummed, and pulled apart enough to nod. "Damn straight." He agreed, firmly.
She let out a joyous laugh, and wrapped her arms around him as he twirled her on the beach just outside of their cottage.
His laughter joined hers, laughing together as they have been doing for the past year.
When he settled her down, his laughing blue eyes searched her laughing blue-green, and in one moment, he scooped her up, and carried her into the cottage, closing the door behind him.
She knew by the look in his eyes what he had planned, and she shivered with anticipation. Her body arched, slightly against him, and she waited until he shivered before she brushed her lips over his earlobe, causing him to moan in an exquisite way.
She smiled, and felt him sit her down on the back of their beige couch, and she smiled feeling his hands move the skirt of her dress up until her thighs were bare.
His lips found hers, and her hands found the fastening of his beige slacks.
She gasped as he cupped her clit, and his thumb began to move over her bundle of nerves, in a tantalizing movement. She had felt him remove her underwear at the same time she had reached for his pants, and she arched her neck in satisfaction when his lips placed butterfly kisses along her throat.
"Klaus…" She moaned, wanting him to get closer.
He smiled, but it didn't last long when she pushed his pants down, along with his briefs, and stroked his cock.
He let out a feral moan, and dipped his head until his forehead hit the crook her neck. "Caroline…" He struggled to get out, shaking in her grasp as her hands worked magic over his shaft.
She smiled, and bit her bottom lip as he continued to stroke her until she was near the end. "Fill me, my love." She whispered, in a panted breathe.
He smiled, and pulled back, and the desire in his eyes almost made her come at that moment. Holding her hips in his hands, he pulled her near to the edge of the couch, and thrusted deep within her core.
They both gasped at the feel, and her fingers began to grip his shoulders, tightly.
The soft leather of the couch squeaked as her bare buttocks moved on the top, joining their grunts and moans in the small little cottage they called home.
Her hands moved down to his hips, and grasped his bare butt with her hands, loving the feel of his chiseled ass under her nails. "You are Adonis." She moaned, as he thrusted deep within.
He chuckled, and moved his left hand to her face. "You are Aphrodite, my love." He returned, kissing her lips, continuing to pound deeply within her.
She smiled, and her last thought before she sailed off the cliff of ecstasy was how much she loved him, and how gorgeous he looked in a white button down shirt and nothing else.

Hours later, they were married.
Rebekah stood as her very pregnant maid of honor with Stefan as Klaus' best man.
No one commented about the state they found the two lovers only two hours ago, except Rebekah had immediately took charge, and made fast work of Caroline's hair and makeup with Bonnie's help.
As Klaus leaned forward and tenderly brushed his lips over hers, Caroline saw their future as clear as she had seen it the first moment they had given into their love a year ago.
As the sun beat down on the little gazebo they had constructed together beside their little cottage, surrounded by their friends, they knew, as the onlookers knew, Klaus and Caroline would be together forever.
A clairvoyant and a psychiatrist.
A pair that didn't seem to fit, actually made the most perfect couple, and to those same two, it was the magic surrounding them that made them love each other even more.
Caroline may have started off as the Butcher's wife, but now she was a Doctor's wife, and as her lips touched his once again before throwing her small bouquet, she realized that this was the title that she preferred.
She would always be grateful for being the Butcher's wife, for without it, she never would have met the man who owned her heart.
As she touched his face, she smiled, and sighed as she leaned into her husband's side. Yes, she was happy, and so was he.
And it was as she had seen the moment her lips had touched his the first time a year ago.
And this time she wasn't wrong.
"I'm glad." He whispered, causing her to turn her head to look at him with a curious light in her eyes.
He smiled, and kissed her temple. "I'm glad you're visions aren't wrong this time." He whispered, causing her smile, and sigh against him.
Over the year, he had come to know what she was thinking, most of the time, and, though it had seemed annoying, she accepted it, because, well, how could you not when you have visions of the future, and he accepts you?
With a small laugh, she placed her head on his shoulder, and felt his arm wrap around to hold her close to his side as they watched their friends laugh, and have a great time at the small reception. "So am I." She remarked, lowly. "So am I." She added, lifting her head to brush her lips over his in a soft touch.
