PROMT- HUMAN. KLAROLINE HAVE BEEN DATING FROM 2 YEARS. CAROLINE IS AN ONCOLOGIST. KLAUS GETS DIAGNOSED BY LYMPHOMA, A LYMPH NODE CANCER. HE HAS BEEN HIDING ALL THE PAINS AND OTHER PROBLEMS FROM CAROLINE. IMAGINE HER SURPRISE WHEN HER BOYFRIEND ENTERS HER OFFICE IN A WHEELCHAIR. A LITTLE ANGSTY AND VERY EMOTIONAL.
The pain near his stomach was increasing day by day. Thank god Care was having long shifts at the hospital, she was at home less, and would not be able to sense his discomfort. After an hour of pain, he finally decides to go to the hospital, but to the emergency hall, he tries to avoid his girlfriends office and hope that Stefan is not taking a shift in the emergency ward. As he enters the ward, his pain increases and he feels himself getting dizzy. A nurse sees his face and says, "Sir are you alright?" He starts to fall down and the nurse starts calling, "Dr. Salvatore? Dr. Salvatore?" Klaus mutters, "No, not him." Stefan comes running and sees his best friend and goes into a shock, "Klaus? What the heck happened." Stefan calls up for a stretcher and picks him up. The last thing Klaus remembers is Stefan shouting orders to his Nurse.
Klaus opens his eyes and sees an ivy plunged into his hand and Stefan standing near his bed, looking at a few files and occasionally checking his phone. Klaus looks up and says, "Stefan mate I-" but is interrupted by Stefan's angry voice, "Shut it Klaus. I got your files from the AmeriCare hospital. You knew you had lymphoma. Have you lost your mind Nik! The best specialist in this field is your own girlfriend. I am a doctor. You could not tell any one of us? If I had not been on a shift here you would still not have told us right?" Klaus looks down with guilt and says, "Please tell me you haven't told Caroline?" Stefan's expression softens and he says,
"My sister will kill me for keeping secrets, but she is currently in a surgery. I will take you to her by myself later on and you will have to deal with her sooner or later." Klaus nods and mutters a thank you.
Suddenly Stefan's phone ring and his expression goes into a frown. He looks at Klaus and says, "It's her." He picks up the phone and Caroline says, "What up bro? Why so many calls? Everything okay?" Stefan says, "Yeah Care. Ummm I had a patient for you. Came almost unconscious into ER with Lymphoma, stage 3. Can I get him to you?" Caroline's voice comes from the other side, "Yeah, get him up Stef. I will see him. Bye."
Stefan calls the nurse for a wheelchair and starts working on getting Klaus's Ivy out. He helps him get up and sits him on the wheel chair. He then starts taking him to Caroline's office. They reach her door and can hear her talking on the phone. Stefan stops and says, "Best of luck Klaus." Klaus nods and Stefan knocks on the door. A few seconds later, "Come in." comes from inside. Stefan and Klaus enter the room and Caroline first looks at Stefan and then at Klaus. Her face goes into a angry and scared expression as she says on the phone, "Yeah, I have an emergency. I will call you back." She disconnects the phone and gets up and shouts, "Stefan please tell me this is not what it looks like?" Stefan looks down and says, "Umm Care, I just got to know now only. I was in the ER when he got there. He was getting treatment in AmeriCare and-" but suddenly shuts up seeing Caroline's index finger telling him to stop talking. Caroline runs a hand through her hair and says, "Thank you Stefan, give me his file and please look after your patients. I am taking over this patient. Call AmeriCare too. Send all his files and reports from over there." Stefan nods, knowing better that to argue with his very angry sister. He keeps his hand on Klaus's shoulder, giving it a squeeze and walks out of the office.
Caroline gives Klaus a hard look and picks up his file from his lap and starts skimming through it. She can slowly see her tears coming up but controls her emotions. She goes behind him and starts pushing his wheel chair near the table. She asks him, "So Mr. Mikealson, do I need to get you on a bed, are you comfortable?" She says professionally while walking towards her seat. He catches her wrist mid way and says in a pleading voice, "Please Care sweetheart, can we talk about this?" Caroline looks at him furious and says, "Talk about what Nik? The fact that you have cancer and did not tell me? I am a specialist of this disease Nik! We have been together for almost 2 years now, how could you not tell me?" Klaus says, "I have no excuse sweetheart. I just did not want you to consider me weak."
Caroline finally breaks down with tears coming down and says, "No Nik! that is not an excuse. You say you love me but you are scared that I will consider you weak! Does this not sound wrong, that you have cancer, and your own girlfriend who is a doctor of that very disease does not know? The fucking hospital who is on my nerves the whole time knows!" Klaus heart breaks seeing her cry and he gets up and says to her turned back. He has a stabbing pain but he ignores is and puts his hand around her waist and his face on her shoulder. She shrugs and he says, "I am sorry baby. I tried to tell you but I couldn't. I have not told anyone. I just can't do it alone and-" when he suddenly lets out a piecing scream and Caroline turns around and catches him just before he falls.
She carries him to the bed nearby and lies him down. She takes her stethoscope and starts a basic examination. She grabs an injection of pain killer from the medical cart and gives him a dose. Klaus calms down a bit and sees Caroline standing on top of him with tears flowing down like rivers and cups her face in her arms. She says, "What is the use of me being a doctor if I can't take care of you Nik? If something happens to you, I won't be able to handle it." Klaus gives a small smile and says, "And that is why I am switching my doctors. I have heard that Dr. Forbes is very experienced." Caroline tearfully chuckles and says, "Come on, let's get you home. I am taking the rest of the day off." Klaus nods and sits up. He pulls her to him and kisses her deeply. He puts his hands on her butt and her hands go around his neck, holding onto his necklaces. She breaks the kiss and says, "Enough, I need to start my reports on you, we need to go home, rest, have a smoothie for energy and you need to start having lot of beetroot. Your hemoglobin is very low, I don't want you getting on blood bags, everything is going to be done naturally. I have to make your chemo chart and-" when suddenly Klaus kisses her again, stopping her rambling. She decides to let him distract her for the time being. She holds onto his neck as keeps kissing her and muttering I love yous in between.
