Hi All thank you for waiting patiently for an update.

Been a stressful few months, moved house, no internet and only sorce of writing is ipad..
I've had a lack of inspiration but with tvd season 5 having no Klaroline I needed to update..

What's your take on TVD5 & TO so far?


The week flew by quickly giving way for Liam's excitement to spend time at the art exhibition with his dad. When Saturday morning arrived Liam was already in the car before Caroline even asked him to put his boots on.

"You're eager for soccer today?" She questioned as she climbed into the car beside him. Liam shrugged his shoulders "Not really, I'm really excited for the art exhibition this afternoon. Klaus said you let him decorate the grill with his art work" Caroline was startled he'd taken to calling his father Klaus instead of the formal Niklaus.

"maybe. Does that bother you? Would you prefer if I decorated it with the ninja turtles artists" Liam chuckled loudly at his mothers opinion of the famous artists that the teenage mutant ninja turtles adopted their names from

"Mom, you do know they aren't really ninja turtles don't you?" He questioned her curiously wondering if she really thought they were turtles.
Caroline nodded "same difference"

"Klaus would understand" Liam whispered softly as the pulled up at the soccer field "you're really enjoying this aren't you? I've never seen you in your element like this before. You never talked about art before..." Liam shook his head slightly saddened by his mothers words

"you never really let me talk about art. You and uncle Damon would brush it under the carpet so I'd show uncle Jeremy. He always enjoyed looking at it but now I have Klaus and he helps me with my pictures and the way to hold a paint brush" Caroline smiled sadly at her son.

"I'm happy you're enjoying each other's company. Come on we best get you to the field" Liam shot open the door running towards the field until he spotted Damon stood at the bottom of the bleachers "uncle Damon."he called waving his hand eagerly catching the tall raven haired mans attention, Damon smiled back brightly as he waved back holding his thumb in the air.

Caroline smiled at Damon awkwardly as she walked past him up the bleachers to sit beside Katherine "hey, you okay?" Katherine questioned her confused best friend, Caroline just nodded as she sat in silence watching her sons soccer game.


Once the game finished instead of the usual ice cream at the grill Caroline apologised to all the parents stating that a very important art exhibition was being held at the grill and she had to make sure everything went to plan.

Damon walked towards them grinning from ear to ear as he spotted Liam "good game champ" he chuckled as he ruffled his hair.

"Thanks, I thought you wouldn't come. I thought because you moved out you wouldn't want to see me" Caroline looked at her son while her heart broke. Damon glanced at Caroline briefly before crouching down beside Liam resting his hand on Liam's shoulders.

"I'm really busy with work right now so I may not be at every game but just know I'm always thinking about you.. Both of you. You just behave for your mom and I'll visit when I get the chance" Liam nodded smiling a little trying not to let the tears escape his eyes.

He quickly ran to the car climbing inside leaving Damon and Caroline to face each other "I'm sorry Caroline. I didn't know what else to say" Caroline was confused not once since they'd known each other had he called her by her birth name, it had always been barbie or Blondie.

"don't worry about it, I'll take care of it. How have you been?" Damon shrugged "okay I guess and you?" Caroline didn't know what to say "this is awkward isn't it?" Damon nodded eager to get away "a little.. See you later Caroline" without another word he was gone.


Arriving at the grill Caroline was shocked by the complete transformation of her restaurant, klaus had done an amazing job setting up with the help of his cousin Rose.

"What do you think?" He questioned as he spotted her from his spot beside the bar "it's amazing; I could hardly notice the place. The art work is amazing. Is it all yours?"

Klaus shook his head "not one piece. There are a few different pieces but this is my favourite" he said as he pointed towards a painting that held a beautiful flowery meadow and a large dated home "who's is that?" Klaus shook his head once again "I couldn't tell you even if I wanted too" Caroline was confused until she noticed that it had no name attached to it.

"Why isn't any of your work in here?" Klaus chuckled lightly "we both know that isn't true; your office holds three of my best paintings to be exact and the painting behind the bar is also one of mine. I think this place has over accommodated my art work thank you too it's beautiful owner" Caroline cheeks tinted a slight red at the word beautiful, she missed his charm and banter.

"Well I couldn't let it sit at my house not getting the attention it deserved, the horses behind the bar was also one of my mothers favourites" she paused for a moment before continuing not wanting to start the tears

"she said if reminded her of freedom. The horse running away for its freedom and that's how she saw you. Liam was a few weeks old and she came into my bedroom, we started talking about that painting and she told me you were one of those horses; he felt that now you weren't living in mystic falls you were free" klaus smiled softly shaking his head

"I wish I could say she was right but I never felt more free than I did when I was with you. All the time I was away from mystic falls I thought about what you were doing and what our son looked like. I am sorry about your mother; she was extremely kind too me when nobody else gave me a chance.." Caroline rested a hand on his shoulders reassuringly "she loved you like a son Klaus. You know how she felt about you"


As the afternoon went by klaus enjoyed time with Liam on his own both admiring the art in front of them pointing out individual facts each of them knew about a painting or it's artist.

Klaus came to a halt as he spotted one of his own pieces "this one's very dark" Liam whispered softly as he watched Klaus eye the painting slightly annoyed, he hadn't placed any of his own pictures in the collection because he knew most of his stuff over the past years had been dark and Dreary until he arrived back in town then his mind was consumed by Caroline and Liam and so his sketch book was filled with them,

"who put this one here?" He called to the girl manning the paintings in that designated area.
"a oldish woman; she said it was for her grandson" klaus was angry as he tore the picture from the stand "sir you can't do that.." She called after him not wanting to move from the place she was told to stay.

"I'll do as I please after all I was the one that painted it" Liam was confused as he followed Klaus carry the painting towards the trash cans behind the grill.

"why are you throwing your painting away?" Liam questioned nervously incase klaus told him off for asking, klaus exhaled deeply before speaking

"your grand mother, my mother is a very bitter woman. She never really liked your mom so she think if she does silly things like this then your mom won't like me anymore.." Liam stepped forward reaching to hold Klaus' hand

"I like this painting. It shows who you were without me and mom" Klaus looked down at his boy startled

"I never liked that time in my life, i wasn't very nice to be around back then, I missed your mom too much.." Liam nodded "that's why you should keep it. Remind yourself why you painted it; because you missed Mom" klaus smiled brightly as he and Liam walked towards the front entrance of the grill.


"you hungry?" Klaus questioned earning a simple nod from Liam.

"How about we go eat then we see if your Mom would like too join us?" Liam nodded eagerly.

"she would love that" Klaus and Liam walked into the grill spotting Caroline serving her customers as they took their table.

"What can I get you both?" Klaus looked up fighting the urge too laugh at Katherine as she held the tiny note pad and a pen with a mini apron tied around her waist

"you having fun laughing at my expense? If you don't stop laughing I will make you wear this godforsaken apron and walk around taking orders all afternoon until you fu..." Klaus shook his head

"language? For your information we are having a father, son day." Liam grinned widely as he placed klaus' painting on the table smiling proudly "do you like my new painting?" He questioned earning a disgusted look from Katherine and a confused look from Klaus

"what the heck is that?. Why on earth would you buy him such a painting Caroline will..." Before she could finish Caroline was beside her

"Caroline will what?" Liam beamed as he help the picture in his hand tightly smiling "look what I got Mom. Do you like it?" Caroline turned her head looking towards klaus disappointedly

"why did you get him something so dark? The colours are dark and it looks creepy. How much did it even cost.."

"It cost nothing and as a matter of fact I never gave him it; he took that upon himself. My mother planted it in the art work, it's my own piece from about two years ago" Caroline felt her cheeks flush red with embarrassment not only did she insult his work but she made such a big fuss about their son having it.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know" klaus shook his head as a small smile appeared on his face "no. I am sorry, I think I got a little over dramatic regarding the painting. If you like it you are more than welcome too keep it" Caroline looked at the painting realising it wasn't as dark as she thought it was there was quite a lot of White, at first she'd thought it was a spider web until she realised it was a single snow flake on a winters night.

"there's something... Lonely about it" she whispered softly her eyes never leaving the picture "it was when he missed us" Liam piped up not wanting his mom to get upset.

"can we still have it? We should put it in the hallway as people walk inside.."

Caroline looked at her little boy a bright glow to his cheeks as he talked about this one painting "I think that would be a lovely idea, would you be okay with that?" She asked looking back towards klaus.

He simply nodded "I also think it's a lovely idea. Maybe we could also put up the painting I have nearly completed of you at your soccer game" klaus suggested looking towards Liam

"you painted me? Wow! Isn't that awesome mom" Caroline chuckled as she rustled his head.

"it sure is sweetheart, I've got too go help auntie Katherine for a while but I'll be free with half an hour when stefan gets here if you'd like too show me some of the art work.. I mean.. You don't have too if you don't want too.. I was just suggesting."

Klaus chuckled "I see something's never change, you still ramble on but yes we would like you too accompany us when we go and take another look maybe you might find something for yourself" Caroline nodded

"I'll come and meet you soon" she said as she walked away to help other customers.


Damon walked into the grill with stefan not really knowing why he even bothered showing up "why am I here again?" He questioned.

Stefan looked up at him annoyed "you know how big today is too Caroline. Surely you still care about her right."

Damon spotted Liam and klaus sat across the room eating and laughing together easily "it's not fair.. He left her but when he comes waltzing back into town he starts getting his feet under the table and taking my family."

Stefan knew his brother was hurt just by the way his eyes fixed sadly on the father and son,

"you knew when you signed up too play house with Caroline that if there was ever a chance klaus would return that she would take him back. She loves you Damon and you know that but her love for klaus has always been stronger" Damon shrugged away from his brother as he made his way too the bar

"doesn't mean I have too like it" he said gruffly.
"Drinks on you then?" Damon's head shot round too find Rose smiling brightly at him.

"Rose! I thought you left town" Rose shrugged her shoulders as she sat beside Damon "I changed my mind, there was something too stay for" she giggled at her attempt to flirt with him.


After their afternoon together looking at the art as klaus explained each piece to Liam, Caroline watch in awe as both father and son enjoyed each other's company. Caroline decided it would be a nice gesture if she invited klaus found for dinner.

Getting through the door klaus helped Caroline carry the food into the kitchen so she could plate it up and serve it.

"He's really enjoyed today. Thank you" she said as she reached for the plates.

Klaus found himself smiling like a little kid as he leaned against the counter beside her "it was really nice to just spend time alone with him, thank you for that too. I also enjoyed showing you the different pieces that you couldn't recognise and might I add very unlike you. If I remember correctly art was one of your favourite subjects" Caroline blushed as she placed each plate on the counter.

"I went through a phase where I wouldn't even look at a piece of art without thinking about you, I was so consumed with everything that happened that I almost threw all your pieces out" klaus nodded

"I actually left them by the trash can ready for the garbage truck the following day but when I had a change of heart and wanted them back they were gone; I was so beside myself telling my mom somebody had stolen them until she pointed towards the couch.." She remembered the day so clearly and even then it touched her what her mother had done for her.

Flash back.

Caroline was frustrated with herself again, she let herself cry for him. That stupid drawing she kept hidden in her draw of the Mikaelsson ball; she couldn't help but miss him as she cried. She jumped from her bed digging through her closet pulling out all the canvas work along with the rolled up painting she'd drawn her.

Dragging as many as she could at a time she threw them beside the trash can at the end of her drive "damn you Klaus Mikaelson" she screamed as she threw the final drawing on top of the mountain of paintings.

She felt the tears well in her eyes as she rested her hand on her tiny bump caressing it softly "I'm sorry jellybean" she whispered to her unborn child.

Caroline laid in bed tossing and turning most of the night when she finally realised she needed those paintings if not for her but their child.

She quickly threw on her dressing gown and slippers as she ran through the house and through the front door.

She came to a halt when she realised all the paintings were gone and that the trash was still there

"no, this can't be happening...Mom..Mom" she screamed as she ran back inside.

"I need to report a theft. My paintings were stolen.. I need them back it's all I have left" she sobbed, Liz wrapped her arms around her heart broken daughter as she sobbed,

"it's ok Caroline. Look.." Caroline looked towards the couch, her paintings were all on the couch neatly.

"I believe this one belongs in your draw.." Caroline was confused as a small smile appeared on her lips "how did you?" Liz chuckled.

"I'm the sherif caroline I know everything" Caroline chuckled "thank you mom" Liz just smiled at her daughter as she wiped her eyes.

"I'll put them in my closet so you don't feel like chucking them again and regretting it" Caroline nodded in agreement as her mother began moving them into her own bedroom.

"I'm sorry for the way I'm acting mom, I know it can't be easy on you." Liz smiled softly at her only little girl

"sweetheart you have never made it easy for me and I wouldn't expect you too stop now, I am proud of the young woman you are becoming and despite everything that has happened to you lately I believe this baby is going to have an amazing mother. You make me proud to be your mother and I know your father isn't happy but give him time he'll come around" Caroline nodded thankful that through it all she had a supportive mother and she'd be lost without her.

End flash back

"Did your father come around?" Caroline shock her head "he was disappointed in me; I haven't seen him since the summer before I fell pregnant. He was too busy with Stephen and his family; I mourned my mother alone because he held a massive grudge against me. I honestly have no idea what he is doing now and even though I love and miss him I am happy with my life. I have enough family in my life"

"You've done so well for yourself and I am proud of you, I know you never wanted too be stuck in mystic falls but you have accomplished so much since I have left, I feel a little jealous"

Caroline chuckled lightly "I don't know why, I haven't done anything that extraordinary, you on the other hand has been gracing art galleries and exhibitions with you beautiful work" klaus shrugged because he knew she got the better end of the deal.

"you got too watch Liam grow and I am jealous of that because I know I could have come back and helped you but in my mind I felt you were better off without me" Caroline didn't want too say anything too ruin the rest of the day.

"I don't think we were ever okay without you. Look at how easy it is for us to stand here in my kitchen talking freely about our feelings about our history. Yes I love Damon but I will not deny that I have always loved you; we had something Damon and I never had. We had shared interests and we fought... A lot. Even when we argued we never went the night without you creeping through my window just for us to apologise to each other" klaus grinned at the memory

"it sure was something wasn't it? We were probably the only couple that fought more than once a week" Caroline nodded

"Elena and Stefan hardly ever argue; they are more lovers than fighters but us we fought for our love for so long it some times caused us to argue between ourselves." Klaus nodded in agreement

"I've never felt that connection with another person. When Hayley came into my life two years ago we just used each other's company to escape our demons then she fell pregnant with Max and I felt like I'd been given a second chance to be a father.."

Caroline sighed deeply trying not too get angry "I know I was already a father and I should have done more for him but at this time my mother had told me you and Damon were together; KOL had mentioned to her that you were happy and that Damon was living with you. She told me that I should marry Hayley if not for my sack but for my child's and I planned too. I wanted so bad to do anything just so another son wouldn't be without me"

klaus hadn't noticed the stray tears falling from his own eyes as he continued "when I came back to mystic falls it was hard not too think about you both; I just wanted too see if you still felt the same, if you loved me like I still loved you. Then that first time I saw you.. I treated you like you meant nothing too my and for that I am sorry"

Caroline reached her hand up to his cheek wiping the tears with her thumb "I hated you for so long but when I'm standing right in front of you I forget that you had ever left town; it's going too take a while for me too truly get over you being gone but we need you in our life's Klaus" his blue eyes met hers for a single moment they both felt like they were teenagers about too kiss for the first time all over again...

"Mom. Is dinner ready I'm hungry" Liam called from a distance startling Caroline causing her to pull away from Klaus "sure sweetheart, I'll be in there in a moment" klaus helped Caroline quickly dish out their food before taking it into the living room to enjoy a quite family dinner together again.

Let's start over.
I'll try to do it right this time around.
It's not over.
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.

It's Not Over~Daughtry
