KLAUS'S POV
I was usually awake by the time the sun was up but last night...last night. There were no words. When I opened my eyes all I saw was Caroline's ocean blue eyes staring at me. "Well Good Morning Love" I managed to say through a yawn and stretch. "Good Morning" she said with a smile and then kissed me. I was thinking lately about taking Caroline somewhere special, somewhere she'd love but then i realized i called Elijah over today for a business discussion. Caroline and I never fully talked about the cure, did she really want it? Would she take it? Now was the time to find out. "Caroline, I want to ask you something" I said. "Anything babe" she responded. "Would you take the cure?". "Klaus.. There's nothing I would want more than to be human again. Being able grow old, have children..." she suddenly stopped. I held her, I knew she hated the fact that she couldn't have children. She damn well deserved it, to grow old, to watch her grandchildren play and grow.I became even more determind. "There's no reason for me to take it. Not if you can't take it with me" she said. My heart stopped. "Caroline, there's only enough for one, and I sure as hell am going to give it to you. Out of all the vampires I've met, your're the only one I know is worthy of it. Caroline I want you to take it." I responded. She let go of me now. "I refuse to take it Klaus, End of story!" she exclaimed. She was absolutely mad, why wouldn't she take it?! Dammit! "We'll see about that, Caroline" I said.
I got up and left the room. Was this woman insane? I offer her what she wants most and she refuses it. I know she wants me to take it too but being a vampire is all I know. If I'm human how will I protect her? How will I protect my child? There's nothing I would want more than to watch my child grow inside Caroline day after day but not being able to protect them...Just the thought drove me mad. Then Elijah walked in.
"Good Morning Klaus" he greeted me. "Good Morning Mate" I said. "What is the matter Klaus?" he asked. "Caroline refused my offer...She doesn't want the cure. I'll be bloody damned if she doesn't take it." I said angry. "Klaus how can you expect Caroline to live her life as a human without you? She will age, you will remain as you are now." he explained. "How can I protect her if I'm human Elijah?! Age means absolutely nothing when I'll always love her just the same as I do today. My life won't mean a bloody thing if I'm human Elijah! We've been targeted our whole lives and the only reason we've survived this long is because we're vampires. If I'm human we're dead." I managed to stop myself. "Brother, it is your decision. I'm only here to help you find it. Figure out what you want to do before I come back" he said before he exited.
Fuckity. Fuck. Bloody hell! As I sat at the table I poured a glass of whatever I could find. When I thought things couldn't get any worse Hayley walks through the door. "Bad time?" she asked. "No, not at all" I responded sarcastically. She sat next to me while holding her belly. "Klaus, I know this wasn't planned. I'm just as shocked as you. I'm confused, scared and most certainly alone but I'm staying strong because it's the only thing I can do" she said. "Hayley, things have been off lately but you're not alone. We both did this and we're both going to get through it." i responded. Wait! What the fuck? Dammit. Caroline and turning me into a mushy pile of goop! Hayley was shocked too. She grabbed my hand and placed it on her stomach, I felt my child kicking and moving, it immediately put a smile to my face. We talked about names and that she should feel free to come by as she pleases. Soon after she left and told me she'd keep me updated on the pregnancy.
I went upstairs to check on Caroline and she was in the shower. I figured I'd giver her the space she needed to think and hopefully give me a llegit answer. I layed on the bed for a bit, thought I'd get my mind straight.
She came out. "Klaus.." she called. I didn't answer. "Klaus!" she called again. "Yes Love" I said. "My answer remains, I won't take it without you. I know you think I'm insane for passing up an opportunity to be human up but I want us both to grow old, and even if we don't get that far we'd be human together. I love you Klaus, and I want to be with you." she said. I felt how much she meant what she said but I couldnt help it. Everything in my body wanted to find it and shove it down her throat but I respected the fact that she didn't want it, if I couldn't enjoy it with her. "Dammit Caroline, don't you want to live? Live a human life. Don't you want to bear children? My children most importantly" I responded to her. She looked at me as if she wanted to lunge and attack me until I begged for my life. "Niklaus. I heard you talking to Elijah. I know what you're afraid of but we'll make it. I promise." she tried to reassure me. "Caroline, if I'm human our lives will be in cionstant danger and there won't be a bloody thing I could do about it! You need to understand that if I'm human there's a chance we may not live for very long" I argued. "That's a chance I'm willing to take" she said. It's not a chance I was willing to take, I thought to myself. I made up my mind, I was going to get the cure and if I had to force her then that's what I was going do.
