Chapter 11
Klaus, Caroline, Hayley and Elijah entered Rousseau's with Hope, Josie and Lizzie. Hope walked hand in hand with Elijah while Klaus had Josie in his arms and Caroline had Lizzie in hers. Hayley spotted an empty booth near the back and headed to claim it as the others followed. Elijah and Klaus sat on the opposite edges of the booth while Hayley and Caroline sat next to them on the inside and Hope and Lizzie sat together in between their mothers. Josie was sat on Klaus's lap because the little witch had taken a shine to the feared hybrid. "So what do you girls want to drink" Caroline asked while taking off her denim jacket which revealed her change in clothes. Klaus had caught her after their little game of cat and mouse and followed through on his promise and he had kissed her ruining her dress but Caroline didn't care. In her opinion it was worth it. She now wore a white lace camisole with black skinny jeans and her boots. "I want apple juice please mommy" Lizzie said looking up from her puzzle book which Hope was helping her with. "I will have apple juice as well Caroline please" Hope added smiling up at the blonde woman before going back to helping Lizzie. Klaus smiled watching his daughter interact with Caroline's, "I will have orange juice mommy" Josie said from her place in Klaus's arms. "Orange juice what little lady" Klaus said playfully pinching the little witch in her sides before Caroline could remind her daughter of her manners. "Please mommy can I have orange juice" the dark haired twin replied giggling from Klaus's playful attack on her tummy. "Much better" Caroline voiced mouthing a thank you to the man she cared for, who replied with a no problem and a loving wink her way.
"How about me and Klaus go and get the drinks while you ladies decide what you want to eat" Elijah suggest kissing Hayley on her lips before getting out of the booth. "Come on lets leave these lovely ladies to discuss us while we go to the bar" Elijah teased earning a eye roll from both women. "Ok lets go" Klaus answered getting up Josie still in his arms. "Josie come and sit down now' Caroline said to her daughter who didn't want to let Klaus go. The little witch shook her head before clutching Klaus tighter, "It's ok Caroline there is plenty of me to go around" Klaus teased as he shifted Josie onto his hip. Caroline just poked her tongue out to the hybrid as the men headed toward the bar. "Oh I forgot, Bekah wants a girl's night out tomorrow night are you in" Caroline asked turning to Hayley, "Yea I'm definitely in, but who's going to look after the girls" Hayley enquired. "The guys can, Klaus would love sometime alone with Hope and the twins love spending time with Hope, and I like spending time with her mother so you are going" Caroline smiled at the female hybrid. Hayley smiled back with a little giggle "Well when you put it that way, I have to go" the brunette joked, "So who else is going". "You, me, Bekah and hopefully Freya. Bekah said she will ask her tonight while they get the compound ready. Oh and Davina" Caroline informed. "Is she old enough to drink, I think she's like 18 or 17 maybe" Hayley asked as she sat sideways facing Caroline more while running her fingers through Lizzie's hair. "Well technically so am I, and if you think about it other than Freya technically we are all under age" Caroline stated staring at Hayley with a 'so what are you going to do' look. "Invite her" Hayley said shrugging deciding that the young witch could join the group that Freya, Rebekah, Caroline and herself had built.
Klaus and Elijah reached the bar and leaned waiting to be served. "I like Caroline" Elijah stated "She's good for you". "Well not that I need your permission or approval but thank you. I'm kind of attached to her myself" Klaus replied sending a smile toward his brother. "I love my mommy too" Josie added getting the men's attention in her company, the little girl had a big smile on her face. The two Mikaelson men give off a small chuckle staring at Josie as she blushed and buried her face into Klaus's neck.
"Ok what can I get you" a voice interrupted their moment. Klaus looked back and saw Camille behind the bar staring right back at him. "Hey" Klaus said, Cami's eyes stared at the original Hybrid before her gaze drifted to the little girl in his arms and then back to his. "Hey" the blonde bartender started "She's not yours is she". "No, this little one is Caroline's" Klaus slipped out forgetting that Cami didn't know about the women who had captured his heart years ago. Cami wore a confused expression "Who's Caroline" trying to remember if Klaus had mentioned the women before in one of their many therapy sessions. "Caroline is my" Klaus started but was interrupted by his big brother, "Caroline is Klaus's love" Elijah finished not caring if he was rude. The oldest male original hadn't like the bartender since she said those hurtful things to Hayley about her feelings about Jackson's death. "Oh, I didn't think you loved Klaus, I thought you said it showed weakness" Cami bit back accidentally letting her jealousy show. "I was wrong, I feel in love with Caroline the first moment I saw her light, her strength. She's my goddess" Klaus admitted not hiding his feelings and not feeling guilty about having Caroline in his life. "So where is the lucky lady" the bartender grimaced, "Over there in the booth with Hayley" Elijah pointed over to Caroline, Hayley, Hope and Lizzie who were all laughing about something.
"The other little blonde girl next to Hayley and Hope is Caroline's as well". "So you have a thing for blondes I see Klaus" Cami stated drawing the hybrid's gaze from the lovely sight of Caroline tickling Hope. "No, I just have a thing for Caroline but I didn't think I had a chance so" Klaus answered with a smirk while his brother snickered next to him. "So I was just what" Cami asked, "You were just there" Klaus confessed. "Does Caroline know how you spent your time away from her, maybe I should go over there and enlighten the poor girl" Cami threatened jealous and hurt that all of Klaus's moments with her was a lie. Klaus leaned slightly over the bar "If you ever think about trying to cause trouble between me and Caroline, I will compel you so much you wouldn't remember how to walk or talk. Got it love" Klaus growled low to Cami, "Grrrr" Josie interjected growling towards the blonde bartender with her hands mimicking claws. The Mikaelson men laughed at the little girls antics, Josie looked at them smiling "Was I scary". "You were so scary little one" Elijah replied winking at the little witch in his brother's arms. "Now are you going to take our order or do we need to find someone else" Elijah spoke politely to Cami as he rested against the bar. The bartender took their order and left quickly.
The evening went on as the night rolled in and the group had a lovely meal while the adults talked about different things and the children occupied their time colouring in or having little talks between them. Hayley and Caroline told the guys about their plans for a girl's night and that they along with Marcel and Kol would be looking after the children. Josie had finally left Klaus's arms when the food arrived and found a new place in Elijah's where she stay for the remaining meal, Hope had fallen asleep snuggling into Caroline's side after the food had long been consumed and Lizzie had followed suit and had fallen asleep in Hayley lap, the hybrid's long hair still clutched in the little blonde witch's hand.
The group entered the compound, Caroline was a bit hesitate in case there was still evidence of their earlier on activities but as they entered the inner courtyard the place was immaculate. Rebekah had done an amazing job, it looked more homely now then it did before, garden sofas and chairs were spread out creating sitting areas and a large long cast iron table sat opposite the entrance behind the fountain that had been washed and filled back up with clear water. Lizzie and Josie was in Hayley and Elijah's arms while Hope was in her fathers all children having fallen asleep now, while Caroline was tuck into Klaus side by his other arm. The blonde original stood up from one of the sofas when she spotted them entering. "Wow Rebekah this place looks amazing" Caroline spoke softly not wanting to wake up the children, "I have to admit sister you sure have an eye for décor" Klaus said looking around. "Well thank you. Freya, Davina and Marcel helped and maybe some compelled humans did as well but mostly I did" Rebekah started "Oh and guess what I found when I was cleaning. The hybrid dagger" she finished.
"Where did you find it" Klaus asked breathing out a breathe of relief, "It was hidden underneath a floorboard in your art room. Theon gets ten points for originality. Not" Rebekah answered "You don't need to worry about it anymore our lovely older sister have taken care of it, she melted it along with the rest of the daggers". Everyone smiled at each other glad that that threat had been dealt with. "Hey Caroline we are just going to put these two down before heading to bed, Klaus if you want to give Hope to Elijah we will put them all down together" Hayley suggested, Klaus agreed before giving his little wolf a kiss and handed her over to his brother who tried to balance Hope and Josie in his arms. Caroline walked over to Hayley and gave Lizzie a kiss and she kissed Hayley's cheek while she wished the hybrid a good night which Hayley returned, before walking over to Elijah and doing the same with Hope, Josie and then Elijah.
As the couple made their way upstairs Rebekah shout after them, "Oh I forgot Hope's old bedroom is to small now so I made the room in betweens Klaus's and Elijah's bedrooms the girls room." she informed, "Oh and Davina didn't want to stay in the compound so I offered her and Kol your old apartment Hayley across the street if that is ok" Rebekah finished. "Yea that's fine, I thought about moving back into the compound anyway" Hayley replied before she and Elijah disappeared deeper into the compound.
"Come on gorgeous, lets go to bed, Goodnight sister" Klaus said as he pulled Caroline with him towards the stairs leading to the second story. "Ok" Caroline replied yawning. "Goodnight Bekah" Caroline yelled back to the blonde original who had resumed her position on one of the garden sofas "Goodnight girly, See you in the morning".
