I own nothing...

Henry hated being so small. His father promised he would grow, but Henry thinks he will be small forever. He holds tightly onto his father's hand as they make their way through the crowd. Henry's tiny legs working hard to catch up to his Dad's strides. Klaus notices this and picks the three and a half year old up. Henry loved his father. He was the best father in the world. He didn't mind when Henry got paint on the carpet or when Henry clung to him when he was scared. He didn't mind carrying Henry to his bed when he was sleepy or picked him up so he could see better. He was the best Dad in the whole world.

But not now. Henry could feel rage build up inside of him. He didn't care who the person was, no one threatened his mother. His breaths became ragged and something snapped inside of him.

K&C

Caroline watched as Henry's nails started to turn to claws and fangs began to come into view. The hair on his arms and on his head started to turn white.

"What in the..." Klaus said watching the boy. He still held Caroline to him only now he wasn't choking her. The boy was transforming into a wolf, but that was impossible. The full moon was two days ago.

"Henry," Caroline said, "Henry stop. Calm down."

It was too late. Caroline winced at the sounds of bones breaking and watched as her baby transitioned into a wolf. She looked at Klaus who seemed to be in shock of what he was seeing. Where Henry once was there was now a rare white wolf in his place. It was growling at him and his fangs were out. Seeing that Klaus was distracted Caroline finally managed to get free.

"Henry?" She said walking closer, but he growled at her. Caroline stepped back startled. The wolf turned his attention back to Klaus and continued to snarl and barked at him.

"Impossible," Klaus said in awe. The wolf looked back and forth from Caroline to Klaus before running out of the room.

"He triggered a turn," Caroline said talking to herself. "He triggered a turn!"

"What is going on in here!" Elijah said bursting into the room prepared to clean up any mess his brother made.

"My son just triggered a turn is what it is!" Caroline said and looked at the two men, "Well don't just stand there like some bloody idiots and help me find him!" With that Caroline ran out of the room leaving the two brothers with their mouths opened in shock. No one dared speak to them like that. Elijah looked at Klaus whose face was blank.

"You're not moving!" Caroline's voice called out and thanks to their vampire hearing they heard her.

"Blasted women!" Klaus said but ultimately started to walk out and go search for the boy he angered so much it triggered a turn. Elijah stood in wonder. Wasn't Niklaus just trying to kill the girl and now he was helping her? Caroline. Why was that name familiar to him? No matter. Find the boy first and then they would find out the mystery behind Caroline and her werewolf son.

K&C

"Henry!" Caroline called out, "Come on baby. Running away doesn't solve anything."

"He run away a lot?" Klaus said suddenly next to her. Caroline held back a gasp.

"Sometimes," Caroline said, "He...he is like his Dad. Conflicting emotions is not something he is good with."

"If I help you find him will you tell me what you are doing here?" Klaus asked.

"No," Caroline said stopping and looking at him, "But you will do it anyway. Look I don't know this land. You do. Help me find him and I promise you won't regret it."

"Who sent you?" Klaus asked again only this time he didn't attack her.

"I sent myself," Caroline answered. "He couldn't have gone far. He isn't familiar with this place either."

It didn't take much longer to find him. He was near a water body, which came as no surprise. Henry loved water. He was sitting in the grass in his human form. Caroline walked over and sat next to him. Klaus didn't come any closer only watched.

"It didn't last," Henry told his mother, "Once I calmed down I turned back into myself."

"Here," Caroline said handing him some clothes Elijah had given her for Henry. That's Elijah for you, always thinking ahead.

"Thanks," Henry said and started to put them on.

"I remember when Tyler got angry sometimes his wolf side would come out, but he never actually turned," Caroline said.

"I'm sorry, Mum," Henry said and Caroline nodded.

"Control yourself," Caroline said, "And..."

"Let me guess...go to my happy place?" Henry finished for her.

"Something like that," Caroline said holding her hand out for him to take. They walked back over to Klaus. Caroline watched as the two stared each other down.

"The shifting was a warning," Henry informed him, "Touch my mother again and you will be in a world of hurt, understood?" To Henry's surprise Klaus smiled.

"Understood, now come back to my home and let's try to be friends, alright?" Klaus said, "It seems we have much to discuss, but you have my word I will never hurt your mother again." Henry opened his mouth to say something when Caroline put her hand on his arm.

"Enough, let's go back," Caroline said and walked away leaving the two men to follow her.

Present

"Are you feeling better?" Elijah asked Klaus who was recovering from a coughing fit.

"Yes, I just felt like someone was choking me for a moment," Klaus said rubbing his neck. "Maybe I have had a bit too much to drink already."

"Do you think it was caused by something else... like magic perhaps?" Elijah said looking around the crowded room thinking a witch might be among them.

"No...all of a sudden it felt like someone was choking me," Klaus said again, "I think I need to be cut off."

"No!" Kol cried out, "The night is still young Nik."

"How is Bonnie?" Klaus asked trying not to laugh at the sight of his very drunk brother.

"Oh she is fine," Kol replied with a hiccup. "Although I think castrating came up in our last conversation but I am too tossered to remember why."

"I think I am going to head up," Klaus said and whispered to Elijah, "Watch him."

Klaus made his way up to his hotel room and got into bed. It was almost 2 am. At one time that would have been an early bedtime for him, in fact before he became involved with Caroline he barely slept at all. Klaus laid on his side and looked at the spot Caroline usually slept on. She had only been gone two days and he missed her and Henry terribly.

Caroline rolled over and faced the side of the bed Klaus always slept on. It was so hard to sleep without him, especially after such a crazy day. Most people would be mad at someone for chocking them, but Caroline only felt pity for Niklaus. Poor soul who wasn't able to trust anyone. What a lonely life he used to lead. Knowing she wasn't going to get any sleep Caroline dressed and went downstairs hoping to find a book or something to keep her occupied till morning. She saw a light under a door and paused.

"Come in sweetheart," A voice from the other side said. Caroline opened the door and saw Klaus and Elijah standing there. Klaus had a scroll in his hands and was looking at it. There was a girl twirling around in front of them. Klaus looked at up her. "That will be all." The girl nodded and left the room.

"Can't sleep Caroline?" Elijah said moving from his place behind Klaus's chair.

"No, not really," Caroline said, "I'm interrupting something?"

"Not at all," Klaus said and beckoned another servant forward, a male one this time, "I noticed you didn't eat properly at dinner, would you like a bite?"

"No thank you," Caroline said politely.

"Don't tell me you are one of those sorry excuse for vampires who doesn't drink directly from the source." Klaus said and Caroline shook her head.

"Oh no, I drink from people just not...male people," Caroline said and both Klaus and Elijah raised an eyebrow.

"Why ever not?" Klaus asked.

"My husband doesn't like it," Caroline replied.

"He doesn't like you feeding on men?" Klaus said and Caroline nodded.

"He doesn't want me to touch any other man but him," Caroline said, "Therefore I only feed from girls."

"Smart man," Klaus said and Caroline smirked.

"He certainly thinks so," Caroline said.

"Is he human?" Klaus asked.

"No, he is a werewolf like Henry," Caroline said which wasn't exactly lying.

"Hmm..." Klaus said. "Interesting tattoo you have." Caroline's eyes went to her wrist. Crap. She had forgotten to cover it. "I don't see a lot of ladies with them."

"I was trying to be rebellious," Caroline said trying to keep her face blank.

"A hummingbird has meaning to you I suppose," Klaus said and Caroline nodded.

"Yes, it does," Caroline said, "Well I better go and try to get some sleep. Goodnight."

Elijah studied the girl. It was quite strange for a lady to have a tattoo, but what even more strange was the tattoo itself. A hummingbird. Just a simple bird, but it had meaning for Elijah too. Once not too long ago he came across Niklaus sitting and staring at a hummingbird. His brother sat still and watched the bird flutter its wings until it flew away. Strange that this girl would have the tattoo of bird that had affected his brother so deeply. Very strange.

"What do you think brother?" Klaus asked.

"I think you shouldn't try to kill her again," Elijah replied.

K&C

Henry couldn't sleep either. He was pacing back and forth in his room. How could his father attack his mother like that? Yes, Henry knew this wasn't really his father, not yet. Henry also knew his Dad had done horrible things and a part of Henry could never really believe it. How could he? Klaus was such a good father to him and loved Caroline and his family so much, but here was the proof. Henry finally saw that darkness inside his father. Henry rubbed his eyes. He was so tired but could not find it in himself to sleep.

When Henry was little only two things could help him sleep. His mother singing or his father telling him a story. He had 1000 years worth of stories, but apparently he always left out the bad ones. Klaus had left them out to protect Henry. He was always protecting him. Henry wished his father was here to protect Caroline and Henry from himself, but he wasn't. Henry had to do the protecting this time. If Niklaus tries to hurt his mother again, Henry will show him who the real alpha is.

K&C

They should leave. They should defiantly leave. She and Henry should just pack their things and try the spell again another time, they shouldn't stay in this castle another moment. Right now they were eating breakfast, or Henry was eating food while the rest of them sipped on blood. The tension in the air was thick. Henry was just glaring at Klaus who in turn only looked amused. Caroline had tried to make some light conversation but failed miserably.

"I was hoping that Henry and I might go to town today," Caroline said breaking the silence, "Or are you going to try and keep us prisoner again?" Henry held back a laugh.

"No, actually I needed to go into town as well, perhaps I will join you," Klaus said and Caroline took another sip of blood. Oh this was going to be fun.

Henry insisted on standing in between Klaus and Caroline as they walked through the town. Everyone was staring at them, probably because Lord Niklaus barely ever makes appearances. Caroline ignored this and stopped at a vendor that had a bunch of pretty scarves on display. Some antique swords (or new in this case) had caught Henry's attention and he wandered off. Caroline ran her hand over some silk pink fabric.

"The blue would look better," Klaus said and Caroline turned around and faced him, "The blue would complement your features more than the pink. Here." Klaus paid the wide eyed vendor for the blue scarf rather than the pink and then handed it to Caroline.

"You paid," Caroline said a little shocked.

"Well sometimes we have to keep up appearances, love," Klaus said and Caroline smiled.

"Thank you," Caroline said and put the scarf over her shoulders.

"You're welcome," Klaus said.

Henry looked over at them and saw the way Klaus was looking at his mother. Finally Henry saw something familiar in this man. Klaus looked at Caroline the same way his father did. Henry smiled and went back to looking at the swords hoping maybe his Mum would let him get one.

…...

What do you think? I know the beginning was spoiled, but I hope you still enjoyed it!

There is too much going on with Klaus/Caroline that I can't even wrap my head around it. Just too much. All I can say is that I better get at least a freaking kiss! And OMG is JM hot without a shirt.

Okay enough about that.

Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed! You are amazing! Plus thanks to my beta angellus08 and Lux22 for helping me!
