A/N: Thank you all very much for the reviews (: & I'll have to say that many wanted all boys, many wanted all girls, and many wanted boy and girl. So let's just see what happens and what the sex they will be (; Oh and when you have time check out my new story 'BEHIND THE MASK'.

Next chapter...

"Where's Caroline?" Rebekah asked Klaus. Everyone was at Klaus' studio to plan Caroline's birthday surprise.

"She has left with Stefan and Bonnie for lunch at the grill. I asked them to give us a warning for when they come." He answered.

"Ok, so what's the plan?" Kol rubbed his hands as he sat down.

"I say we make a small get together." Elijah suggested not wanting to make lots of ruckus. Rebekah shook her head in disagreement.

"Its Caroline 'Lijah, we need to make something special..." She whined looking at her brothers. "...also we will not just be celebrating her 18th birthday but we will also celebrate that Nik and Caroline are going to have twins!" She squealed.

"I suppose that is quite reason to make something special." Elijah answered rubbing his chin.

"Whoo! How about we make a ball? I mean we all like them and we haven't had one since god knows when." Kol suggested.

"You know...he's right." Klaus stated with disgust the last two words. "She will love a ball and I have the perfect cover story for her to wear a ball gown."

"Ok, so it will be a surprise ball for Caroline's birthday?" Rebekah asked.

"Yes." Her brother's said in unison. Rebekah nodded.

"I'll begin the preparations, and just try to keep Care out of the mansion the next couple of weeks." Rebekah added pointing at her brothers.

"I can keep her in the room..." Klaus suggested with a smug grin. Rebekah rolled her eyes.

"Kinky." Kol commented with a smirk. "I'll take her to the grill so she can visit her friends. We have to inform everyone of this." He added.

"Very well. We have the plan, let's begin." Elijah remarked sitting down on one of the free chairs.

At the Grill

"Care, I just can't believe that you are pregnant!" Elena exclaimed. She didn't want to go to the dinner celebration so she told her today instead.

"I can't believe it myself...and let's not forget they are going to be twins!" She expressed touching her stomach.

"Well Papa Hybrid has outdone himself. It's not just one...but two. Tell me blondie..." He leaned into the table. "...how many times did you do it to get pregnant?" He asked.

"Damon!" Elena hit his arm.

"Its none of your business...you weirdo." Caroline snapped.

"Hey it was just a question." Damon stated putting his hands up in the air in defeat. "Just one more question." He leaned closer. "...Really? Klaus?" He inquired scrunching up his nose.

"Yes Klaus...he is not that bad once you get to know him. I mean..." She turned to face Bonnie. "...you tell them."

"Uh- yeah guys, Caroline has changed him. He spared someone's life and gave two wolfs choices to turn into a hybrid. I mean he can still be the big bad-ass Original Hybrid, but when it comes to Caroline and their upcoming babies..." She softly smiled at Caroline. "...he truly cares."

"Aww what a wonderful story." Damon retorted with a smirk.

"I don't really care what you think...I love him, I'm having his babies and I'm happy. Nothing will change my feelings for him, not even you." She pointed at Damon. He chuckled.

"Hey I was just questioning your choice in men. No need to pick a fight." He expressed putting his arm around Elena.

"So, its official. Damon and Elena are together." She sighed. Poor Stefan, at least Rebekah is helping him go through this.

"Yes and I'm happy Care, so I won't judge you and Klaus if you don't judge me and Damon." Elena answered smiling at Damon. They did look pretty much in love.

"Deal." She shook her hand with Elena. "And this goes for you to Damon." She glared at him.

"Fine by me." He smirked.

"Ok, so let's change subject like...Care, what do you want your babies to be? Boys or girls?" Bonnie asked. Stefan leaned in the table.

"I go with boys." Stefan added his opinion. "It would be nice to see little you's in form of boys."

"Yeah that would be a pretty picture." She laughed. "but I don't know... I mean they can be boys or girls I will still love them. They are barely 1 month in my stomach and I already love them." She hugged her stomach with a soft smile.

"I just can't wait to see them wondering around the house, getting into trouble. I mean I'm going to be a parent you guys!" She began to cry. Elena and Bonnie went to hug her.

"Hormones?" Damon questioned.

"I guess." Stefan answered with a shrug. Damon took a deep breath and then he faced his brother.

"Can we have a minute?" He asked. Stefan nodded as they both stood up leaving the girls to their emotional fits.

"What's up?"

"Are you ok with me and..."

"I'm fine Damon, I'm actually kind of dating Rebekah." Stefan replied with a genuine smile.

"Not another Mikaelson." He shook his head.

"Hey, she is sweet and fun to hang around with. We had a thing in the 1920's and we are starting from their. I'm happy." He simply said. He couldn't describe the feeling, but he was glad that he was with her.

"Well if you are happy then I'm happy." He expressed giving him a brotherly hug. Stefan chuckled at the affection and then they both went back in.

"Where did you guys go?" Caroline asked wiping away the fallen tears.

"Some place an emotional pregnant girl wasn't." Damon teased. Caroline threw a straw at him playfully before bursting into laughter.

"Man, I think I'm kind of glad I can't have kinds, now." He then expressed. Elena glared at him. "Sorry."

"You know I'm just happy that you are all still my friends. Who could have known all of this would have happened?" She stated looking at them all.

"We are here for you Care. What ever you need." Stefan offered taking her hand.

"Thank you." She smiled giving him a tight hug.

The day of the ball, 1 month later

"Caroline, love, are you ready?" Klaus asked from outside their room. He had a nice tuxedo on with a white bow tie. He was the only one with white so he could stand out.

"Coming just making the final touches...You know for being almost 3 months my belly is starting to show." She called out with a small giggle. Klaus just smiled. The door then opened, as Caroline appeared.

She wore a long blue ball gown with a strapless sweetheart neckline. Right below her breasts their was threaded gold and from their the gown just flows. Her hair was pinned up into a messy side ways bun with some hair loose on the other side. She wore pearl earrings and her make up was done naturally, showing off her natural beauty. Klaus was literally looking at her with his mouth open. Caroline smiled and then she walked towards him closing his mouth gently.

"Now, remind me why I have to dress this nicely?" She asked.

"Because we will be going to a threatre of the Opera. We need to look our best." He answered with a smile. "Shall we?" He asked offering his arm.

"We shall." She mocked his accent while taking his arm. She giggled and then they began to walk towards the stairs. Everyone was in hiding until they heard their foot steps on the stairs. Rebekah counted up to 3 and they all jumped out calling "SURPRISE!" Caroline jumped when she saw that many people jump out and then she made a surprised face.

"How-how..." She was left speechless. "Thank you..." She said before she began to tear up. Klaus suddenly felt panic overwhelm him, why was she crying?

"What is it sweetheart?" He asked concerned. Caroline smiled shaking her head.

"I'm just happy!" She exclaimed attacking Klaus with a hug. He sighed of relief and then he hugged her back.

"The hormones you know!" They heard Damon call out. Caroline could just hear the smirk plastered on his face. Klaus just chuckled. Just when they pulled away Caroline captured his lips with hers and they shared a passionate kiss in front of everyone.

"Aww, cheers! To the happily pregnant couple!" They heard Kol shout out. Caroline giggled against his lips. Then they pulled apart and they walked all the way down to greet their guests.

"Happy birthday honey." She heard her mom say. Caroline smiled brightly as she walked towards her and she gave her a tight hug. Liz had been working with her blood lust for over a month and a half, and she was in good condition to be around be people. It was amazing how she fought the urges, and all for her daughter and her upcoming grandchildren.

"Thank you mom." She responded while pulling away.

"How are you doing with the whole...blood lust?" She whispered the last part.

"I'm doing great. Elijah is actually quite impressed on how I'm able to control the urges this quick." She answered with a satisfied smile.

"I'm so happy for you." She gave her mom another hug.

"Care!" She heard Bonnie call out. She turned to see her high school friends. She said good bye to her mother and then she walked towards them. Bonnie was the first to hug her.

"Happy birthday Care!" She expressed. Caroline giggled.

"Thank you." She responded. Stefan was next, attacking her with a tight hug, but not that tight that would hurt her.

"Happy Birthday!" He said while pulling away and giving her a quick peck on the cheek. Caroline smiled up to him. She suddenly noticed Matt, feeling the tears in her eyes at the sight of him.

"Matty!" She exclaimed as she put her arms around his neck, embracing him. "I've missed you!" She cried out.

"I've missed you too Care. And happy birthday." He cooed stroking her hair. They stayed in each other's arms until they heard Elena.

"Ok Matt stop hogging her." She whined. Caroline and Matt laughed and then she went and gave Elena a hug.

"Happy birthday." She said in between laughs. Caroline giggled.

"Thank you." She replied.

"Happy birthday Blondie." Damon came into view extending his hand to give her a handshake. Caroline eyed him weirdly before pushing away his hand and giving him a nice small hug.

"Stop being such an ass." She teased. "and thank you." She added with a smile. Damon chuckled bringing her into another hug.

"Yeah well." He replied with a shrug.

"Would you care for a drink?" The waitress interrupted. Caroline turned to face her and then she shook her head.

"No..." She touched her stomach. "Babies on the way...but thanks anyways Hayley." She answered nicely. Hayley gave her a curtly nod and then she faced Damon.

"And..."

"I'll take one of these." He interrupted taking a drink from the tray. Hayley nodded again moving to where Elena, Bonnie, Matt and Stefan were, each grabbing a drink.

"I'll just have to get some apple cyder." Caroline sighed as she watched her friends drink.

"Don't worry Blondie, its all for the babies." He winked at her, making her feel a little better.

"Thank you Damon." She smiled at him, grateful for the comment. Just when he was about to answer they heard Elijah greet everyone from the middle of the stairs where all the siblings were standing.

"Good evening everyone. Its nice to see these many people gather around to celebrate Caroline's birthday." He stated with a smile.

"Yeah, and celebrating that she is getting quite older." Kol added with a smirk. Caroline glared at him but then she began to laugh as everyone joined.

"And even though she is getting older...I love her anyways..." He quickly turned to look a Klaus. "...as a sister." He slowly stated receiving more laughs.

"Care, our friendship has had our ups and downs but you know that I love you and that I don't see you as a friend anymore but more as family." She held up her champagne flute. "Family above all."

"Family above all." Caroline repeated holding up her cup of apple cyder, almost in tears.

"My dear sweet Caroline..." Klaus started. "...you came to us very abrupt. If Kol hadn't found you that night, I would have never guessed that I would be here in the presence of a magnificent girl that is carrying our born to be babies." He began to slowly descend the stairs. "I instantly felt something towards you, but I was not sure if what I felt was love. All these years I never knew that someone was capable of loving me...if I was even capable of loving someone..." He stopped just inches away from her. "But you have proven that wrong and I would be a fool to leave you again..." He stated as he dug into his suite pocket and he got out a small black velvet box. He got down on one knee putting his champagne glass down on the floor.

"Oh my.." Caroline covered her mouth, shocked. Her eyes were once more filled with tears.

"Caroline Forbes...will you do me the honors to be my wife?" He asked as he slowly opened the small box revealing a diamond ring. Everyone gasped in amazement. Bonnie and Elena had their hands on top of their mouths in astonishment. Stefan and Matt had a small smile on their lips. While Damon rolled his eyes, but kept his smirk in tact.

Caroline was left speechless she knew what to say but the words weren't coming out. All that came out was a sob and a nod that everyone could see, she kept nodding her head. Klaus felt a great relief while he stood up and he grabbed her left hand placing the ring on her wedding finger. "Yes!" Caroline then managed to say.

"Now Cheers! To the soon to be husband and wife!" Kol called out, knowing that now was the right time to say it. Klaus kissed her passionately. She smiled against his lips as tears kept coming out. He pulled away leaning on her forehead.

"I love you." He whispered.

"I love you too." She said in between sobs. She then took a step back hitting him playfully in the arm.

"What was that for?" He asked confused.

"For making me cry..." She let out a small chuckle. Klaus simply smiled and then he hugged her giving her a small kiss on her forehead.

"Congratulations...again!" Bonnie came up giving Caroline a hug.

"Thank you Bon." She sniffed. Klaus held his hand out to shake her hand but Bonnie moved it out of the way giving him a hug as well.

"We are going to be family after all." She stated making him chuckle.

"True." He replied. Stefan came up congratulating them.

"Klaus, if you ever hurt Caroline...I'll make sure to make your life a living hell." He threatened with a smile.

"Duly noted." He replied with a smirk knowing that he would never hurt her, at least not intentionally. Caroline's mother came up to them as well, threatening Klaus too. The next couple of minutes, everyone came to congratulate the now engaged couple.

"Brother! I'm so happy for you...for the both." Elijah congratulated, giving Klaus a brotherly hug and Caroline an affectionate hug. He then glared at Klaus.

"I know that you have heard it lots of times, but I'm telling you now. Don't hurt her, control your rage brother. Caroline is a wonderful young lady and she deserves someone that will treat her as so." He stated. Klaus just gave him an assured nod.

"I would never dream of hurting my precious Caroline." He stated putting his arm around her shoulder and bringing her closer to him.

"Very well, then my job as a father here is done." He expressed giving them a look and then retreating to his house guests.

"Congrats sister-in-law!" Kol came embracing them both in a hug. "Ah.." He breathed out. "The young love..." He shook his head slightly. Caroline chuckled pushing him.

"Don't be too quick on teasing us, Kol. Bonnie is their waiting for you." Caroline commented gesturing where Bonnie stood.

"And that's my cue. A sexy lady awaits." He remarked flashing away.

"Care!" Rebekah tackled her. "I'm so, so happy for you!" She exclaimed stepping back.

"And Nik...I never thought you would be the first married in our dysfunctional family." She said giving him a tight hug. "I love you both and I wish you all the happiness in the world."

"Well sister don't get carried away." Klaus put his hand on her shoulder. "Leave some happiness for you." He told her with a genuine smile.

"Rebekah..." She heard someone call her name.

"Its Stef." Caroline leaned closer whispering in her ear. Rebekah slowly turned around.

"Hey." She greeted waving at him.

"I'll talk to you later." She told them from facing them with her back as she began to walk towards Stefan.

"Will you join me for a dance, Mrs. Mikaelson." Klaus asked.

"It would be my pleasure. Mr. Mikaelson." She giggled as they walked to the dance floor. Klaus put one hand on her waist and with the other he grabbed one of Caroline's hands. With her other free hand she put it on his shoulder. They swayed to the song 'You and me' of Lifehouse.

"By the way I forgot to tell you that you look stunningly beautiful this evening." Klaus complimented her. Caroline blushed.

"Thanks, you look handsome with your tux and all." She expressed. Klaus smirked and then he made her turn slowly bringing her back to his arms.

"'Cause its you and me and all of the people...with nothing to do, nothing to lose, and its you and me and all of the people, and I don't know why I can't keep my eye off of you'" Caroline sang lowly that only Klaus could hear her. He leaned closer to her ear.

"You have a wonderful voice, my love." He whispered, sending shivers through her spine.

"Really?" She asked almost in instinct. No one had ever told her that, well mostly because she never sang in front of anyone.

"I would never lie to you." He responded staring at her eyes. Caroline could here from the sound of his voice and how he is seeing her, that he is not lying. She closed the distance between them and she kissed him softly but passionately. Just when they were about to deepen the kiss, Kol interrupted.

"Ladies and Gentlemen!" He greeted through the microphone. "I know that it is a ball but won't you rather have some other type of music to dance to?" He asked. Klaus sighed and then he rubbed his temple, not wanting to explode.

"Yeah!" He heard everyone cheer.

"Well with that said...hit it DJ!" He pointed at the DJ as he jumped off of the stage. The song 'Turn up the love' by Far East Movement began playing as the lights went out and the DJ turned his lights. There was neon lights hitting all over the room, making it look like a club rather than a ball.

The dance floor was full in no time, as Caroline watched her high school friends dance to the music. She then looked up at Klaus, giving him a look saying 'I want to dance'. He quickly shook his head refusing but she still grabbed his hand and she dragged him to the dance floor.

She took his hands and she put them on her hips while she put her hands on his neck. She began to dance to the music, swaying her hips side to side. Klaus was surprisingly good at dancing this type of music.

"I didn't know you could dance like this." She talked staring into his eyes.

"When you live a thousand years, you catch on a thing or two." He bragged with a small shrug. Caroline just giggled. Everyone kept dancing until 2 am, when the party was over. They all left laughing, some left drunk; but they all agreed that it was the best 'ball' ever.

Bonnie, Stefan, Elena, Damon and Matt, stayed and helped clean up; which was not necessary because they had lots of people for help.

"Hey, if you guys want, you can stay." Caroline offered walking up to the little group.

"I could stay." Bonnie shrugged.

"Well you know which room." Caroline smiled.

"Rebekah already told me to stay...so yeah." Stefan answered. Elena and Damon shared a look.

"Uh—well..." Elena began.

"Come on you guys...you'll have your own room." She stated wiggling her eyebrows.

"Ok Barbie..." Damon sighed.

"Would I have my own room?" Matt asked.

"Yes you will Matt." Klaus answered coming up next to Caroline. He put his hand on the small of her back.

"Let's go to bed sweetheart. The doctor told us that you weren't suppose to stay up this late." He stated. Caroline rolled her eyes playfully.

"Yes father." She teased going on her toes to give him a quick kiss.

"Awww, he's worried." Bonnie commented.

"Never knew he was that type, but then again this life is full of surprises." Damon added.

"Goodnight and ask Kol to take you to the guest rooms." Caroline said before leaving with Klaus. Kol suddenly appeared.

"Did I hear my name?" He asked.

"Caroline said if you could take us to the guest rooms?" Elena questioned. Kol rolled his eyes, not very fond of the doppelganger.

"How many rooms?"

"Well, I know my room, we just need a room for Damon and Elena, and Matt." Bonnie answered. Kol looked at her suspiciously.

"Are you thinking of sleeping with me, Ms. Bennett?" He asked with a smug smile. Bonnie hit his chest playfully.

"Not even in your dreams Kol." She expressed while laughing. "I'll be in Caroline's old room."

"Sure that's what you said the other time." He teased with an amused grin. Bonnie glared at him knowing that that was meant to be a secret.

"Kol!" She exclaimed. Stefan touched Bonnie's shoulder.

"You already slept with him?" He inquired seeming quite amused by the new information.

"No!" She answered quickly. "I only slept in his bed...not slept with him." She cleared blushing.

"Well, enough of the gossip, some people are actually tired." Damon scoffed putting his arm around Elena.

"Very well...Kimberly!" He called out. After a moment a young brunette came to view.

"Yes, Mr. Mikaelson?" She stood firm.

"Can you please escort our guests to their rooms?" He ordered gesturing to Damon, Elena and Matt. She nodded.

"Please, follow me." She turned and she began to walk towards the stairs.

"Goodnight." Matt wished everyone before following Kimberly. Damon and Elena said it too before following along.

"Now, I'm guessing your going to share the room with the strumpet of my sister?" Kol asked Stefan. Just when Stefan was about to argue, Rebekah came smacking him in the head.

"You arse!" She exclaimed taking Stefan's hand and walking towards the stairs.

"I might be an arse, but you are way worse my dear sister!" He called out rubbing the back of his head.

"Just let it go Kol." Bonnie touched his cheek gently. "Now can you take me to my room?" Kol's frown turned into a malicious grin.

"Your designated room or the one you actually prefer?" He asked taking his hand in hers. Bonnie blushed at his action.

"Surprise me." She smiled. Kol smirked and then he flashed them upstairs. Everyone had gone to bed from the exciting day, without even noticing the presence of someone that they did not find that pleasant. That person kept wondering throughout the ball, watched the proposal and everything. Now that person was out, near the mansion watching from behind a tree.

"Those children and that sweet sweet Caroline must be away from them. I will not allow them to ruin her and the babies lives."
