One Year Later:

"Klaus!" Caroline yelled as she walked into their shared apartment they had gotten just months ago, "Where are you?"

Klaus walked out of his studio covered in some paints and saw his blonde beauty in a white lace dress that fell just above her knees. She looked stunning.

"What is the matter, love?" he asked

Caroline sighed, "Does our date at Marcello's tonight ring any bells?"

Klaus suddenly remembered and smacked a hand over his face, "Shit," he muttered under his breath. He got so caught up in his current painting he forgot what time it was. What he didn't forget was the question he was going to pop tonight during dinner.

"I am so sorry, sweetheart," he said as he walked over to Caroline, "Just give me a couple of minutes to clean up and get dressed then we can leave, Alright?"

Caroline nodded her head and Klaus smiled back at her while admiring how beautiful she looked with her golden curls cascading down her back.

Her voice suddenly snapped him out of his thoughts. "Are you going to get ready or just stand there?" she asked with a playful smile.

Klaus grinned and placed a kiss on the top of her head. He ran to their bedroom to change and his nerves were suddenly running high.

He was ready to take this next step in life and he knew he only wanted to spend it with Caroline.

Klaus really hoped she would say yes.

They arrived at the restaurant several minutes later and were escorted to a table.

The first course went really well and they talked the whole time. About work, and everything else. How Bonnie was doing with Kol and their new daughter, Shayla. Camille and her new beau who was yet to be named. Everything.

Klaus's hands were shaking he was so nervous but he put them under the table. He had never been this nervous in his whole life. This beauty was really going to be the end to him but he couldn't help but wait for the beginning.

Caroline noticed that he was being very jumpy all of a sudden and decided to ask him what was going on.

He felt something wrap around his hand under the table and nearly sprang out of his seat. When he looked down it was just Caroline's hand and he relaxed a bit at the feeling.

"Hey," Caroline asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Klaus looked at her but just shrugged his actions off, "Nothing, love." he replied

Caroline retracted her hand from Klaus and suddenly this dinner made sense. With how everything was going during it, it seemed that it was going up but now he was more nervous and looking around the restaurant constantly as if was going to say something and he didn't know how she was going to react. He was going to break up with her.

Caroline swallowed the lump in her throat before speaking. "Is this dinner so you can break up with me?" she asked quietly.

Klaus nearly fell off his seat by the question, "What?"

"Your acting weird. Your hands are shaking and your looking around the restaurant incredulously." Caroline stated

Klaus leaned forward and took her hand in his again, "Sweetheart, I'm not going to break up with you. That's ridiculous. It's quite the opposite actually."

"What?" Caroline asked with her tone barely above a whisper.

Klaus got out of his chair and knelt in front of her on one knee.

Oh my god! Caroline shouted in her head. Was he going to...?

He acquired the black velvet box from his jacket pocket and opened it up to reveal a one caret diamond ring.

"Caroline Forbes, you are the most infuriating yet most desirable woman I have ever met. You make me go absolutely bloody nuts sometimes but you also make me happy to no end. The way you bite your lip when you are thinking intently and the way your eyebrows knit together when you are frustrated are just the one of many things that made me fall in love with you. You would make me the happiest man in the world if you would be my wife. Will you-?" Klaus said but got cut off by Caroline's lips attacking his with so much passion and love.

After the deep kiss she pulled back and knelt her forehead against Klaus's breathing him in. Her face was wet from tears but she had the widest smile on her face ever. It could light up one thousand suns.

"I take that as a yes?" Klaus asked with his infamous smirk.

Caroline pulled him in for another passionate kiss then pulled back to finally give her soon to be husband an answer.

"Absofuckingloutly." Caroline replied and they both fell into laughter that would echo their apartment and future house to come. Caroline could suddenly see her future clearly now. It wouldn't be as conventional as 2.5 kids and a white picket fence, but for them it would be perfect enough.
