Alcina came back to the bedroom and noticed that Caroline was missing. She slammed her hand down on the nightstand. " I will kill him very slow for betraying me. He feels for that little bitch." She turns to Marco " You have to find Einar." Marco just stood there in astonishment that he had fled with her. He knew that Alcina was holding back her feelings. She trusted Einar for years and now he throws it in her face.
" So…the baby is not coming" he asks. Alcina slaps he hard across the face " idiot." She turns and walks out of the room.
Einar watches her sleep as he mind drifts. He remembers not fighting and being with his sister on their farm back in England. He loved it there. His parents had died when she was only five and he was thirteen. All they had was each other until the night the vampires came and stole her from him. His grip began to tighten around the arm of the chair. He can still hear her screaming for his help. He was too weak to fight against them. Days after was when Alcina showed up promising him that he could have his sister back. All he needed to do was help her find the cure. Einar knew what he had to do two weeks ago but when he saw her in the store. All reasoning went away. How could this beautiful creature give birth to a monster. Alcina made him stronger not invincible but durable. Enough to fight a werewolf or vampire and make it out alive.
The first day after Caroline had come to the compound Esther was visiting him in his dreams. Telling him that Alcina was selfish and was not really concerned with his plan to bring his sister back. Her goal was more important and he was just there to help her not himself. She told him that if he took Caroline away and returned her to Klaus she would help him. He somewhat trusted her but she also saw his attraction to Caroline growing. Knowing that would be a problem after he freed her from Alcina. He was torn looking back at Caroline sleeping he closed his eyes to get a piece of mind.
Bonnie arrived at the mansion at the exact time the sword came to Alcina. She keep one promise. Bonnie walks in and sees the living room trashed. Elena comes running to her " he came back and did this. Angry that he did not have Caroline back." Bonnie nods her head understanding his frustration. They all underestimated this witch. She was too strong for Bonnie but if she could channel another witch it was possible to beat her. She wanted to tell Klaus but now was not the time. Each day that went on without Caroline there he became unbearable to live with. His temper was growing and patience was fleeting. Elijah comes around the corner and takes her hand.
" You alright" he says giving her a drink. She takes a seat and looks at him. " Sorry" she says. Feeling like she had let them down. Elijah shakes his head and grunts. " You had no idea. None of us did." He looks towards Elena motioning for her join them. " It's okay to come in I know Rebekah has been picking with you. She is just worried about Nik. We all are."
Klaus is siting in the nursery when Rebekah comes in. " Hey…I…" Klaus holds his hand up. " Please..don't. I just want to sit here." Rebekah comes and puts her arms around his shoulders. She sees the tears come in his eyes and she sighs. He is just staring into nothing and she starts to cry thinking she has lost her brother. Rebekah quietly takes her leave. Klaus is thinking about how he can't sleep. Not without hearing his child's heartbeat and feeling Caroline's hands on his body. She gives him peace and he longs for that again.
Caroline wakes up and moves slowly off the bed. She creeps towards the door as she turns to look over to where Einar is he is gone. As she turns around he is there. "Wait…you not a vampire. How can you move so fast?" she asks. Caroline still shocked by his sudden movement.
" I'm not but just as quick" Einar says as he pulls her to him. " Please sit." Caroline pushes him away. " No..I am going home to my Nik." she says with tears forming in her eyes as she rubs her belly. " Please…Please…..I need him….I need him" Caroline keep repeating. Breaking Einar to a point where he could not deny her any longer. " Okay, let's go" Einar turns to get his bags and reaches to help her as they head out the door. Einar walks out looking for a car to steal. The van was too hot. He knew that Alcina would be looking for it. As he turns around Caroline is waving her hands over to a Dodge Charger. As he comes up to the car she grins. " I am a vampire. Get in" she yells. She had compelled the owner into giving her his keys.
They are minutes away from the mansion when she urges him to push the gas more. Caroline was jumping inside ready to see him. She needed his arms around her. Caroline noticed the little things like the way he looks in the morning and the smell of his hair that she missed. Einar pulled to a stop and it brings her back to reality. Caroline is out of the car in a flash. Before he can even cut off the ignition.
Caroline burst through the door. Everyone jumping up ready for an attack when they see her. Rebekah yells for Nik. As he comes out of the bedroom he can smell her and he rushes down the stairs. Caroline rushes to him and jumps on him. Slamming him down on the floor kissing him and hugging him. He is holding her so tightly as if it will be his last time to touch her. They stop and stare at each other. Their foreheads coming together without breaking away. He crashes his lips in to hers. Caroline begins to cry as he embraces her. " Nik….oh god…I.." before she could finish he comes back in stronger this time. Moaning into her mouth loving the taste of her.
" I missed you" he whispers in her hair as it falls over his face.
Einar walks into the door way as Elijah grabs him. Pulling him down to the basement. Where he locks him into a cell. Einar yells " but I brought her back." Elijah turns and looks at him. " Thank you for that but you will still die." With a flash he is gone.
Rebekah makes a loud grunt and they notice everyone else in the room. Caroline jumps up and hugs Bonnie and Elena. Bonnie pulling her back to her with tears swelling up in her eyes. Caroline rubs her back. Letting her know it is okay. Caroline then moves towards Rebekah she is just standing there. Caroline could tell she wanted to break but she keep her hard exterior. As she comes closer Rebekah tenses a little. She pulls Rebekah to her in a tight embrace kissing her cheek. " Thank you sister for keeping him somewhat sane" she whispers. As she pulls away Rebekah stops her and pulls her back. Breaking down on her shoulder Caroline just rocks with her rubbing her back. Klaus turns away as tears fall. His sister has never had that and Caroline has given her that bond that she craves so much. Elijah is standing there as the girls break apart Caroline walks over to him. " So you came back to help" he nods. Caroline reaches for his hand and places it on her stomach. " Listen" she says as she smiles. Elijah lights up a little. " My nephew. I never thought I would be able to say that." Elijah bends his head slightly close to Caroline's stomach " Svá hjalpi þér hollar véttir, Frigg ok Freyja ok fleiri goð, sem þú feldir mér fár af höndum." As he comes up and looks at her. Rebekah and Klaus repeat the same thing. Caroline looks around at them. Klaus moves over to her " It's a blessing for the baby. Where we come from its luck to say it to the child and mother." He smiles as Rebekah chimes in " It can also be sung" she says grinning.
" Please don't" Klaus responds as Caroline hits him in the chest playfully. " Nik…I like it is beautiful. Is is Old Norse?" Caroline says while making circles in Klaus' hand. " Yes" he answers as he brings her hand up to his lips. They stand there for a second not moving. " Caroline would like to get cleaned up and rest a bit." Klaus says as he takes her hand leading he upstairs. Caroline looks back at Elijah and moves her lips saying " thank you" he bows his head gracefully at her as she giggles.
" You are bigger love" he says. Caroline agrees and rubs her stomach "Yes, she gave me some super tonic to speed up the process. I heard Einar say I was 6 months now." He smiles at just hearing her voice. " We will worry about all of that tomorrow. I am going to run you a bath."
Caroline goes over to the small fridge in the room and pulls out a blood bag. Drinking that one in record time she reaches for another. She looks at her body in the mirror she is bigger. She hates that it makes her feel fat. Caroline knows that sounds bad but she did not have time to grow into her body. Klaus is standing in the bathroom watching her. He is so glad to have her back. Klaus glides over to her and takes the bag out of her hand. Caroline turns to look at him he kisses her nose. He begins to remove her clothes leaving just her bra and panties on. He turns her back towards the mirror Caroline turns her head quickly not wanting to look.
" No…sweetheart look" he says facing her head back towards the mirror. He places his hands on her belly and his head on her shoulders. Kissing her neck while rubbing her stomach. " You are bewitching my beloved. I want you to see what I see. Close your eyes." Caroline does what he asks. Small tears leak from under her lids as he gives her the dream of when he first saw that light surrounding her at the ball. She relived that moment through his eyes. " Nik…" she breathes out as she opens her eyes. " I was made for you and you for me" Caroline whispers. Klaus turns her around crashing his lips to hers. He wonders how he got so lucky. His kiss responding to her comment. Caroline's knees buckle and Klaus catches her. As they continue their embrace. " Never again will you leave my side" he says.
He leads Caroline into the bathroom and gives her a bath. Caroline grins while she is sitting in the tube. He is washing her feet and she is rubbing his hair. " What if I took a picture of this and showed it to everyone. My big bad hybrid washing my feet." He turns to look at her with his dimples showing " Why would you sign their death warrants." He moves up on his knees and reaches his hands in the water making contact with her hips tickling her. Caroline laughs loudly. " Get in with me baby" she says. Not having to be asked again Klaus throws his clothes off and is in the bath with her. He begins to wash her hair as she leans into him. Rubbing her belly and humming.
Thirty minutes have passed as they emerge from the bathroom. Caroline putting on a blue night-gown as she laid on the bed. He is beaming as he walks and puts on his pajamas. He gets in his favorite place in between her legs kissing her all the way up to her stomach. He kisses her belly placing his ear down and listening to the heartbeat. " I missed you son. Daddy will not let you down again" he says. Caroline feels his tears dripping down on her stomach and she lifts his head a little. " We are okay. We are home now." she drops her head back against the bed. " That is why I am crying love. They are tears of joy." He lays his head back down. Falling asleep in her warmth sounding him.
Caroline knows she has to tell him about Esther. She did not want him to worry tonight. She just wanted him in peace. She gets up looking back at him. He begins to stir and she kisses his lips. " I have to protect you too…baby" she whispers as she moves into the bathroom.
A/N The old norse saying translates to "So may the holy ones thee help, Frigg and Freyjaand favoring gods, As thou hast saved me from sorrow now." It was said to the mothers and babies as a tradition. For luck and health during the birth of the child.
Well, I hope you guys enjoyed it. I had to bring Caroline back home...Until next time. xoxo
