As they all sit in the lounge, everyone in pyjamas except for Liz, Klaus, Elijah and Kol. The television is showing a repeat of a Christmas film Henry enjoys, but he's drifting off to sleep in Caroline's arms. "I'll be back in a minute," she whispers to Klaus, climbing off his lap and heading for the stairs.
She tucks Henry in and he looks up at her with drousy emerald eyes. "Can you sing to me?" He asks. She nods, stroking his head, "What do you want me to sing?" He snuggles up to her when she sits on the bed and he yawns out, "You and daddy have a Christmas song." She frowns slightly before realising what their song is. "You want me to sing our Christmas song to you?" She asks, confused as to why he wants that. "I like that its just for you two," he mumbles, closing his eyes. "Okay, Henry," she smiles, taking a breath to sing. She begins singing quitely, The Maine's Ho Ho Hopefully that she makes Klaus listen to constantly to cheer him up. Yes, he likes The Maine, get over it.
"Ho ho hopefully
This holiday will make us believe that
We're exactly where we're supposed to be
And we're ho ho hoping that we all come back
And as a matter of fact I know we're exactly where we're supposed to be
Together by this Christmas tree"
Caroline's favourite part is the chorus, and she smiles when Klaus comes behind her and wraps his arms around her waist as they sit on the bed.
Henry's slow breaths let them know he's asleep once she's finished and Klaus pulls her up from the bed to the hall.
As soon as Henry's door is closed he flashes them over to their bedroom, locking the door behind them. "Nik," she giggles as he pulls her to the bed. As they drop on to the covers, he pulls her on top of him, crushing their smiling lips together. She pushes his lips open with hers and his tongue begins exploring her mouth as he makes the kiss deep and passionate. Everything else disappears as they kiss, their mouths fitting together as if they were made for each other.
Someone knocks on the door for while, eventually giving up and leaving them with a huff. His hands slide up and down her sides slowly under her shirt, fingers running over her rips and hips as she supports herself with her hands on his chest. More knocking makes her sit up and roll off him with a sigh. She walks over to the door and fakes sleepy eyes as she opens the door.
"What?" she yawns to her mom. "Everyone misses you both downstairs," Liz says softly, thinking she woke her daughter. Her eyes move over to Klaus sitting up on the edge of the bed, looking at her. Caroline sighs and catches her mom's attention again. "Fine," she mumbles, "I just wanted a nap." She watches her mom walk down the hall before returning to Klaus' lap, the door shutting behind her, a smile covering her face as she kisses him.
He holds her to him, hands resting on her hips as he returns the kiss. She pulls back, staring at him with a radiant, blissful look on her face. "I love you," she whispers, kissing his stubbled cheek. "I love you, too," he replies, cupping her face and tilting her head to bring his lips to her forehead. "Come on," she sighs, grabbing a jumper of Klaus' as she heads out of the door. He sighs, the wolf inside him needing time with her alone. Come on, Nik, we have all night and tomorrow to be alone. Lets have some family time.
Alright, love, but I can't say I'm happy about sharing you.
Oh, shut up and get down here.
He flashes down the stairs and stops behind her in the hall, holding her hips as they walk back in to the lounge to the rest of them to 'have some family time'. The rest of them are heading back to Mystic Falls tomorrow before a snow storm traps them in England, so Caroline makes sure to give them the best Christmas, keeping up her side of the bargain and showing the Originals all the Christmas games and Christmas films they can handle.
She wakes up the next morning to see them off, the whole morning ending up being an emotional rollercoaster for her. She finds it's harder to watch people leaving than it is to be the one leaving. Everyone plays nice for the rest of the day, keeping their arguments to a minimum and being kind to her so she doesn't cry on them.
When she collapses in to bed late at night, she falls in to a deep sleep, only knowing that she's got everything she ever wanted, even if most of her family is in a different country to her, she still has it all.
