Hello my lovelies! Here is the final chapter to this story, and the trilogy. I intended to have this up hours ago, but I could not stop writing.
I hope you all enjoy this chapter!
I want to thank all of you who have supported this story all the way to this moment. You guys are the best and the true reason I write.
Please remember to review at the end!
Caroline rolled over, and smiled as she felt her pillow move to wrap around her.
"Good morning, love." Her pillow remarked as she snuggled deeper into his embrace.
"Hmm." She mumbled, placing her right hand on his bare chest. She lifted her head, and smiled into his blue eyes. "Are we really here? I wasn't dreaming was I?" She asked, starting to sit up.
Klaus shook his head, and sat up with her, glancing down at her breasts, now showing since the sheet fell to her waist. "We are really here, in Rome, and you aren't dreaming. If you are, then so am I." He whispered, kissing her temple.
Caroline sighed against him. "Mmm, I can stay here forever." She whispered, wrapping her arms around his waist, brushing her breasts against his chest.
Klaus sighed as he wrapped his arms around her. "So could I, sweetheart." He whispered, as he kissed her head.
Caroline pulled away to look into his eyes. "Do you miss the family?" She asked, looking into his eyes.
Klaus smiled. "A little, but I'm happier with you." He answered, stroking her cheek.
Caroline smiled and leaned over to gently brush her lips over his. "Ditto." She replied in a low voice, wrapping her arms around his shoulder, and gently, but forcibly backwards on the bed.
Klaus smiled as Caroline lay on top of him. "You are so beautiful." He whispered, pushing her hair behind her ears.
Caroline smiled, and leaned her face into his palm. "It's because I love you." She whispered, laying her arms over his chest and looked into his eyes.
Klaus smiled. "You are always beautiful." He whispered, pulling her head down, and captured her lips with his.
Caroline moaned and opened her mouth to deepen their kiss. Klaus began to move his hands up and down her bare back. Gently, Klaus rolled them over and Caroline moved her arms around his shoulders, and moved her hands in circles on his back.
Klaus moved his lips to her jaw, and then down to her throat. Caroline let out a moan as Klaus began to gently nip at her throat, and then licked the spots where he had nibbled. She moaned again, and arched her back into his body.
Klaus came back up to her lips, and began to delve deeper into her mouth, as his left hand moved down to her right leg, and curved her knee as he began rocking her gently into the bed.
Caroline smiled and wrapped her arms around him in the aftermath, and sighed as she kissed his bare chest.
Klaus held her close, and sighed as he heard her drift off to sleep.
They had been in Rome for their honeymoon for two weeks now, and they had barely seen the sights. He had wanted to show her the Coliseum and the art, but once they entered his apartment, they rarely left. She told him when they had arrived that she wanted to shop and see the city, but she would rather spend her time in bed with him.
Klaus smiled as he thought about her experiencing Rome. He sighed as he thought about the news they had received.
~Two Weeks Earlier~
Before they had left for their honeymoon, Finn and Sage entered the mansion with smiles on their faces.
"Everyone," Sage began with a glance to her husband. "We have an important announcement to make."
The families gathered around in the living room and watched as Sage leaned into Finn, and took a deep breathe.
"We're going to have a baby." She stated with excitement lining her words.
Everyone became silent.
"What?!" Kol shouted, his mouth staying open longer than needed to, causing Bonnie to hit him in the ribs.
"How can you be pregnant?" Rebekah asked, clutching Stefan's hand tightly.
Sage shook her head. "Oh, no. I'm not pregnant. Finn and I are adopting a four month old girl." She stated, holding her husband's hand.
The room fell silent yet again at the news.
"Oh, Sage," Caroline began, as she stepped forward, and embraced the red head. "I'm so happy for you both." She finished, as the men congratulated Finn.
"Where is the baby coming from?" Elena asked, after she hugged Sage.
"We went through an adoptive agency. Her mother was a young teen, who was in the foster system, and she couldn't keep her. She should be here any moment." Sage replied, looking at her watch.
Everyone again congratulated the couple again, until the doorbell rang. The room fell silent as Finn and Sage went to the door. A few minutes later, they entered the room with Sage carrying a bundle of joy in her arms.
"Everyone, we would like you to meet our daughter, Michelle Rose Mikaelson." Sage replied, as she removed the pink blanket to reveal a chubby faced baby with green eyes.
Everyone oohed and awed as they watched the little girl as she began to laugh and gurgle. Pretty soon the baby was passed around the room, and Klaus smiled as Caroline took the baby from Bonnie.
Caroline bounced the four month old baby in her arms, and cooed at the baby. Michelle laughed and turned her head to look at Klaus, sitting beside Caroline.
With a little laugh, she reached towards Klaus, and moved her chubby fingers towards her new uncle.
Caroline glanced at Klaus and arched her eyebrows. She lifted Michelle, and laughed as Klaus shook his head.
"Come on, Nik. She doesn't bite." Caroline whispered, as the baby went into his arms.
Klaus maneuvered Michelle in his arms and couldn't help but smile as she began to play with his necklaces, and moved his silver cross to her mouth, and began to suck on it.
"I think she likes your necklace." Caroline giggled.
Klaus rolled his eyes. "She's rusting them." He murmured, but smiled as Michelle let out a small laugh as she tugged on his necklace.
Caroline leaned on Klaus' shoulder, and laughed as Michelle tugged once more on Klaus' necklace.
Klaus maneuvered the little one, and cradled her in his right arm and smiled as she yawned.
"You've had a big day, haven't you, little one?" Klaus whispered to the little girl. "You have a big life ahead of you, and you have a great mom and dad, who will love you and take care of you." He continued, rocking the sleeping child, unaware of Elijah, Caroline, and Finn watching with interest. "You also have a family, who loves you, and will protect you at all costs." He added, bringing her up to his lips and gently kissing her forehead.
Looking up, Klaus motioned to Finn, who smiled at his brother and gently took his sleeping daughter in his arms.
"You know, you will make a great father." Caroline whispered in his ear.
Klaus looked at his wife, and sighed. "Do you think so?" He asked, with a light in his eyes.
Caroline nodded. "I think so." She whispered as she wrapped her arms through his left arm.
Klaus smiled and kissed her on the lips. "And you will make a terrific and beautiful mother." He whispered, with a special gleam in his eyes.
Caroline smiled and leaned into his shoulder.
~Present~
Caroline brushed her hair as she sat on the balcony, watching the sun rise over the city. It was a sight to behold.
"It's not as beautiful as you." Klaus replied from behind.
Caroline smiled as she turned around and looked at his sculpted shirtless body leaning against the doorframe, with a glass of blood in his hands.
Klaus stepped closer to her, and leaned down to kiss her good morning. He handed her the glass and smiled as she accepted the glass with a smile.
"I could get used to this." She replied, as he leaned against the railing in front of her.
"What can you get used to, love?" He asked with a gleam in his eye.
"Getting waited on." She replied, setting the nearly empty glass on the table, and stood up to wrap her arms around his waist.
"Well, you will have an eternity to get used to it, Mrs. Mikaelson." He whispered, kissing her on the lips.
Caroline giggled in his mouth, and pulled back. "I love hearing you say my name." She whispered, with a smile.
"I love saying it." He replied with a smile, brushing his hand over her cheek.
His kissed her once more before speaking. "I just got off the phone with my sister." He began with a smile. "Apparently, Elijah has proposed to Elena, and she accepted."
Caroline jumped and squealed in his arms, but stopped when a thought occurred to her. "Is she going to turn?" She asked, looking into his eyes.
Klaus shrugged. "Rebekah didn't say. All she said was Elena had discussed it, but she's not sure."
Caroline nodded in understanding.
"Also, Stefan has asked for my permission to ask Rebekah's hand in marriage." He asked, holding Caroline tightly to him.
Caroline's mouth opened and her eyes lit up. "When is he going to ask her?" She asked, stroking his bare back.
Klaus shrugged.
"Do you know anything?" She asked with a tease.
Klaus smiled, and picked her up, causing her legs to wrap around his waist. "I know that I love you, and that I am complete now that I'm with you." He replied, kissing her lips. "Oh, and I know that Damon and Rachel have trapped Katherine in a tomb, and that Kol and Bonnie are thinking of adopting their own child." He added kissing her collarbone.
Caroline gasped and pulled back, but didn't jump down. "When did they decide this?" She asked, with a smile.
"After Finn and Sage adopted Michelle." He replied, kissing her neck.
Caroline thought about what he had said, and smiled as she moved her head to the side, allowing him access to her neck.
"What do you think about adoption?" She asked, her eyes closed and a smile on her face.
Klaus paused and pulled back to look in her eyes. "What?" He asked, searching her eyes.
"What do you think about us adopting a child in the future? I mean not right now." She corrected, her eyes never leaving his.
Klaus smiled and leaned his forehead on hers. "Do you want a child, Caroline?" He asked in a soft voice.
Caroline shrugged. "I would love to have a child of my own, but since I can't anymore. Adoption seems the best way to go, if you want." She added in a low voice.
Klaus gently set her down the ground and grasped her face in his hands. "Caroline, I would love to have a child with you. Nothing in this world would bring me greater pleasure than to see you hold a child in your arms, and sing lullabies, especially if that child is ours. Whether it's an adopted child or not, I would love to be a father." He stated, in a soft but strong voice.
Caroline's eyes weld up with tears and she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love you so much, Nik." She whispered, kissing his neck.
Klaus held her tightly in his arms. "I love you too, Caroline." He whispered back.
Caroline smiled and just stood there, on the balcony, with her arms around the greatest man in the world, because she knew that no matter what trials they may face in the future, they would always have each other.
~Ten Years Later~
"Children, dinner is ready." Sage yelled out of the back door, to the children running around in the spring garden.
The family had decided to get together at least four times a year. The past ten years had been something. Elijah and Elena had married a year after Finn and Sage's wedding, and on the wedding night, Elena had made the decision to turn. Elijah had helped her through transition, and it had taken her a few months to be able to be around her human niece. Rebekah and Stefan married later that same year, and the following year they had adopted a little boy, which they named Henrik. They had discussed on adopting another child, but to them, Henrik was enough. Rachel and Damon married two years later, and decided to leave Mystic Falls after they had trapped Katherine in the tomb for good. They visited from time to time, but mainly kept to themselves. Klaus and Caroline adopted two children. They had adopted a little boy, which they named Matthew, shortly after their first anniversary. They adopted a little girl, named Elizabeth Anne, after their fifth anniversary. Finn and Sage adopted two more children, twin boys, Nathaniel and Christopher, seven years after they adopted Michelle. The family continued to grow, and they could not be happier.
Caroline smiled as she fixed the glasses of tea for the children, and looked up to see Bonnie storm into the kitchen.
"Ten years married to that man, and he can't understand that I can still set him on fire." She shouted, raising her hands up in the air.
"Uh oh, dad ticked off mom again." A little boy with dark brown hair and brown eyes replied as he looked at his twin sister, who nodded.
Bonnie sighed and smiled at her children. "Mommy's just a little upset at the moment." She replied, calmly.
"Mom, whenever you threaten to set dad on fire, he either said or done something he shouldn't have." The young boy replied, crossing his arms, like his father.
Bonnie rolled her eyes at the sight. Kyle was the spitting image of his father, and his twin sister, Sheila, was just like her mom.
Bonnie remembered the day, nine years ago, when she found out the spirits had blessed her with twins. She didn't know it was possible, but the spirits had found a way to bless her and Kol with children of their own, and she was grateful.
Caroline laughed and felt a tug on the skirt of her dress. She looked down to see her five year old daughter, looking up at her with her big blue eyes.
"Yes, Lizzie, what is it, sweetheart?" She asked as she knelt down to look at her daughter.
"Is grandma here yet?" Elizabeth Anne asked with a hopeful expression on her face.
"She's in the living room, I believe." Caroline replied, and laughed as her daughter took off.
Caroline straightened up and looked out to see her eight year old son sitting in the garden with a sketch pad in his hands. Shaking her head, she smiled as she stepped outside.
"Matthew, you need to come inside." She replied, sitting next to her son.
He nodded and continued to draw on his sketch pad.
"You are getting as good as your father." She whispered, looking at the sketch of a rose he was sketching with amazing detail.
He looked up and smiled. "You think so, mom?" He asked, hopefully.
She nodded, and looked up to see her husband walk up to them.
"I think so, in fact, I think your father would definitely approve." She replied, pointing up to Klaus walking towards him.
"What would I approve of?" He asked, standing in front of his wife and son.
Matthew held out his sketch pad and waited for his father's reaction. Klaus smiled as he looked at his son's artwork.
"You did this?" He asked, looking at his son.
Matthew nodded.
Klaus reached out and handed his son the sketch pad. "This is really good." He replied with a smile.
Matthew stood up and wrapped his arms around his father's waist and smiled. "Thanks, dad." He whispered, before running into the house.
Caroline stood up and wrapped her arms around her husband's waist. "I told you, you would make a great father." She whispered, kissing his cheek.
Klaus nodded. "We've come a long way to get to this moment haven't we love." He replied, wrapping his arms around her.
Caroline nodded. "And I wouldn't have missed it for the world." She whispered, as his lips crashed down on hers.
Neither would he.
Okay, what did you think?
I know you all have read stories where they had children in some form, but I thought this would fit in this story. I know this chapter mainly focused on Klaroline, but it seemed to fit.
I hope you enjoyed it! I sure enjoyed writing it!
If you enjoyed this story, please read my other works. I have many others which you might find interesting. Please let me know what you think of them as well.
