Ok, so this is a little fluffy and kind of I guess a crack-fic as well as AH. I saw this meme on Facebook the other day and this is what came of it. We kind of follow Caroline through a hectic day of being a stay at home mom and wife. I took some things that happen in my everyday life and added them in. My kids both picked the names of the Klaroline children in this story. I hope you can relate to this, I hope it makes you laugh.
Sky, Guest reviewer on Perfect night of Last Loves, Thank you! I am happy to hear you found it heartbreaking but beautiful! And YES There will be a part two some day soon!
Now I bring you, The Three Words Every Woman Wants To Hear.

Caroline cracked her eye open with a groan as her alarm sounded. Without looking, her arm reached over from her spot on the bed, hitting the snooze before drifting back off to sleep.
Vaguely, in what seemed only seconds later, she recognized a sound coming from beside her where her alarm clock sat. Her hand flailed out beside her in attempts to stop the sound from pulling her completely from her much needed rest. The watery sound finally registered in her mind causing her to pick her head up from her pillow as her dazed sleep deprived eyes lifted to her eight year old son.
"Mommy, you said to make sure you got up."
"Ok Sam, I'm up." She said still laying on the bed.
"I tried to wake up Claudia but she doesn't like to listen to me. Ever." Samuel kept talking to force her to stay awake. He smirked as his Mother sat up; it was a nice little trick his Daddy had taught him.
Caroline groaned as she sat up in the bed, "I know Bud, don't take it to heart." She stood from the bed ruffling his curly hair that was so much like his Father's when he let it grow, "From what your Dad tells me little sisters never like listening to their older brothers. Go ahead and head back downstairs and I'll be down in a minute to make breakfast."
Caroline closed the door to the bathroom of their master suite, flinching as she flicked the lights on. She changed into the yoga pants, bra and sweatshirt she had left out the night before, as she did every school night. She remembered when she was young there was this one girl whose Mom always stood at the door watching her daughter get onto the bus wearing a big hideous pink fluffy robe and slippers, a yapping little dog at her slippered feet as she waved goodbye wishing her daughter a great day. Even Caroline had cringed in embarrassment for the beat red faced blushing girl. When she had become a Mother herself, she had vowed to never embarrass her children in such a way. Throwing her hair up in an easy ponytail she left her room to wake the sleeping monster.
Sitting on the bed next to her sleeping six year old daughter she gently began brushing her hair off her tiny cherub face, "Come on Sweetie. It's time to get ready for school." Klaus always teased them about just how alike they were, not only in their looks, but when it came to not being the best morning people. The Mother and daughter always rolled their eyes at that, causing him to laugh deeply. Not everyone could be up and ready to go in the mornings, especially compared to Father and son who could roll out of bed with ease.
Grateful for the small favor that it had only taken five minutes to get her daughter up and out of bed, she set her daughter's outfit for the day on the bed next to her so she could head downstairs to start on breakfast.
Caroline groaned hoarsly as she noticed she forgot to turn on the timer on the coffee pot before she went to bed last night. She resigned herself to having to wait the extra fifteen minutes it would take to brew and just start making breakfast without her cup of much needed coffee.
Just as she set the two plates of scrambled eggs and toast down on the table Claudia came bouncing into the room.
"I don't know why you won't just listen to me when I say it's time to get ready for school. Why do you always have to wait for Mom to tell you?" Samuel said upset as his sister sat down next to him at the table.
"I don't have to listen to you! You're not Mom or Dad!" She yelled sticking her tongue out at her brother.
"You are such a little brat sometimes." Samuel huffed out under his breath.
"Mom! Sam called me a brat!" Claudia whined over her shoulder with a smirk at her brother.
Pouring her freshly made coffee into her cup, adding in her sugar and creamer Caroline sighed, "Stop fighting and finish your breakfast. And Sam, don't call you sister a brat." She turned to see the smug look on her daughter's face, "And Claudia, it wouldn't be such a bad thing if you would wake up when your brother came in. He is only trying to help."
Both her children looked down at their breakfast muttering a soft, "Sorry Mommy."
Caroline smiled as she sat down at the table with them, sipping her coffee, "It's alright Sweeties." Beginning to feel more like herself and less like a zombie-mom with her coffee hitting her system, her gaze traveled to the clock on the stove. Caroline's eyes widened as she took in the time. "Shoot! We need to move, the bus will be here in twenty minutes!"
"All I have to do Mom is get my shoes and book bag on and I am ready to go." Samuel told his Mother, happy that he was all ready to go.
"Mommy!" Her daughter whined, "You promised to curl my hair this morning!"
"I'm sorry Sweetie but we don't have time." Caroline said trying to placate her daughter.
"But Daddy's coming home today and I want to look pretty for him." Claudia pouted as she hopped of her chair.
Ushering Claudia into the downstairs bathroom to make sure she brushed her teeth and helped her with her hair, Caroline ran a hand over the top of her blonde head, "I know and I'm sorry but we don't have time this morning." She watched in the mirror as her daughter stepped up onto the stool to reach the sink with watering eyes and a wobbly lower lip. "How about we wait and curl your hair after school? That way when you play outside at recess you won't have to worry about it getting all messed up."
Claudia spun to face her Mother holding up her right hand with her pinky finger high in the air, "You promise?"
Giggling she linked their pinkies with a smile, "I promise."
An argument about just how high verses how lower for a proper ponytail, a mad dash for shoes and book bags and a quick kiss to the tops of their heads, while safely inside the house where no one could see, and her children were on the bus and on their way to school.
After watching the bus pull away from the front of the house Caroline picked her coffee cup up to her lips for another much needed drink, only to curl her lip in disgust at its lukewarm temperature.
With a huff and a roll of her eyes she made her way over to dump the coffee down the drain and try again only to step on the dog's tail pulling a painful yipe from him.
"Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" She rubbed the top of his head gently as she apologized.
Getting back to making her coffee something told her today was going to be one heck of a day.
Not two minutes into juggling between feeding the dog, sipping on her coffee, eyeing that pile of clean laundry that still needed folding from last night and cleaning up breakfast her phone rang.
"Morning Care, how are you this morning?" Elena's voice chirped through her phone.
"Not too bad." Caroline sighed, "Klaus is due home tonight and I have so much to do before that."
"Oh my gosh I have so much to tell you!" Elena said excitedly completely ignoring Caroline's response.
Caroline rolled her eyes as she stacked the dishes in the dishwasher and began wiping the counters and the table down as she listened to Elena. It was so typical of Elena lately to only call her when she had things to say that she couldn't tell others, for obvious reasons of course. Who else could she tell that she was caught between two brothers, brothers that didn't even know they were competing for the same girl, then her best friend?
Caroline had complained about it to Klaus and he had advised her to just open up and be honest with Elena about how she felt their friendship was more one-sided lately. But she had yet to work up the nerve to do so.
Instead she oohed and aahed at the appropriate times, all the while glad they weren't on FaceTime. If they had been she wouldn't have been able to hide the distain that Elena was semi maybe cheating on which ever guy was her real boyfriend with their brother no less. She had no patience in her at the moment to paste a reassuring smile on her face for her friend's drama with her love triangle.
After a solid half hour or more of Elena yammering on nonstop Caroline was finally able to interject. "Yeah that's just crazy 'Lena. But maybe you should think before you act you know? I mean when Klaus and I first met I was dating someone but couldn't help my feelings from starting for him no matter how hard I fought them. I didn't want anyone to get hurt so I…"
"Well I'm home now! Thanks so much for listening Care! You are the best! I have to get some sleep. My patient load last night at work was insane and I am so ready to hit my pillow for some much needed rest before I have to head back to the hospital tonight for my shift. Love ya!"
Hanging up the phone Caroline let out a frustrated growl. Shaking her head away from the thoughts in her mind, knowing she didn't have time to deal with having a pretend argument with Elena. Still she grumbled all the things she would have liked to say to her friend while she popped some bread down in the toaster needing a little something to help soak up all the caffeine.
After smearing a little butter and placing some cut up strawberries on her toast, she sat down and began planning out her day as she nibbled on her breakfast. She needed to shower, get ready, head to the store, finish up the laundry, get the kids back off the bus, make their after school snacks, help them with their homework, start dinner, then Klaus would be home. She sighed as she thought of the very last thing on her list.
Klaus had been gone for almost a week now. He and Elijah had left to scout out some art galleries that wanted to commission Klaus for his work. The last she had spoken to him was right before she went to bed last night. His flight left earlier than she had to be up and, surprise surprise, since she was not a morning person he didn't want to disrupt her rest.
Placing her breakfast dishes in the dishwasher she grabbed her phone flipping through her music to find what she was in the mood for during her shower as she made her way up the stairs. Making her selection and adding it to a playlist she set about getting ready for her shower after she hooked her phone up to her speakers she kept in the bathroom. No sooner than when she turned the water on her phone ringing through the speakers causing her to jump as her heart pounded.
"What the hell!" Placing her hand over her pounding heart she snatched her phone out of the speaker base to stop the loud ringing. Without thinking she accidentally swiped the screen answering the call. "Crap."
"Yes, well a fine good morning to you as well Caroline."
Caroline gritted her teeth of course her Mother-in-Law heard her, "I'm so sorry Esther I really didn't mean to offend you. Honestly, I didn't even look at who was calling me." She tried to make of joke out of it, but knew as always it would fall flat.
"Of course you didn't dear. It's fine I understand how accident prone you can be." Esther responded in a tone used to placate a small child.
Caroline clinched her fist in irritation at Esther's condescending voice. "So what was it you needed?"
"As you are aware I am sure, my sons are arriving home this evening, and I am sure Niklaus will want to spend some time with the children after being gone for so long, so I thought I would call now as to not bother him to remind you of our family brunch this Sunday." Esther's self-righteous voice echoed through her phone.
Caroline was stewing on the inside while her mind was screaming at her, wishing she could just say, "Yes I remember the damn brunch! We only have it every single Sunday when we are all in town! I've only been married to my husband for nearly eleven years now!" But instead she choked it down and said pleasantly, "That's so thoughtful of you Esther. I'm sure Klaus will appreciate the early reminder so he can spend the time with us." She tried so hard not to stress on the word us. "I am running out to the store to get the things to make his favorite dinner tonight, would you like me to bring anything for the brunch?"
"There's no need dear, I am sure the staff can handle it just fine without your help. I must be off now. Don't forget about Sunday."
When the screen went black Caroline turned it on again just to be sure the call had ended before she screamed loudly in exasperation with that woman. No matter what she did she could never win that woman over. She had been able to eventually win Klaus's sister Rebekah over and she was a first class brat! You would think after all the years she had been married to her son, the fact that they had two beautiful children together, she would eventually see Caroline as the good, non-gold-digging person she was.
"Frigid bitch." Caroline muttered as she unlocked her phone ready to plug it back in and start her playlist only to notice the time. "Shit!"
Between listening to Elena, cleaning up the kitchen and then having to deal with her Mother-in-Law, her shower time was drastically reduced. Groaning over the fact that she had to be quick and that she couldn't afford to turn on her favorite playlist to sing along with, loudly, as she normally does when no one is home, she set her phone on the sink, got undressed and stepped into the shower.
Caroline was thankful that at least she didn't need to wax her lady bits. She giggled at herself for even calling them that in her head, but she did have to shave her legs. After shampooing her hair and rinsing it out, she let the conditioner sit in hair as she propped her leg in the built-in bench in the shower and began the process of shaving her legs. Just as she is swiping the razor across the last part to be shaved she cut herself.
"Great." She scoffed as she tried to ignore the burning sensation as she rinsed her hair.
Even with the setback she felt like she is making excellent time. Just to be sure, and because she kind of wanted the confirmation that something was going as planned today, she peeked out of the shower door, wiping her hand on the towel hanging there only to find as she hit the button on her phone the traitorous screen lit up to tell her its already 12:15 in the afternoon.
"Damn it!" With the kids getting home from school at 3:15 that didn't leave her much time to get ready as planned, run to the store and clean up the house before they made it home.
After a quick but thorough scrub down and rinse she was out and ready to go through her daily routine of hair products and make-up. She was relieved that by the time she was ready for the blow dryer her hair had air dried to a soft wave so it won't take much to put it in order.
.

Caroline smiled when she looked at the clock as she pulled into the local grocery store parking lot; she had just enough time for a quick trip in to grab what she needed to make Klaus's favorite meal. Getting out of the car and heading towards the door she noticed two white vans with the words, Genesis Retirement Community, written on the sides. This is why she never came to the grocery store on Thursdays! How could she forget! It was the day of the week that the nearby senior retirement center bussed in their residents for their bi-weekly shopping. Groaning she soldiered her way into the store, knowing this was going to be a shopping trip from Hell.
After what was supposed to be nothing but a quick run in and run out trip, it turned into an hour long dodge between walkers, sympathetic smiles with irritated nurses' aids, slow moving shopping carts and a race to try and get around the power wheelchairs that always seemed to be just in the spot she needed to grab something. Finally making it through the registers after the white haired lady in front of her had not only what seemed like a million coupons but also had ads from other stores to price match nearly every item she had bought, Caroline was closing the truck to her car and back on the road towards home.
Wanting to avoid the traffic through town, she cut down a road leading through the county streets. Half way home while beginning to feel like she was getting somewhere with the day, singing along with her music she noticed a road work ahead sign. A frustrated groan left her lips as she hit steering wheel, "Of course, why not repave the road today of all days!" Ten minutes of waiting for the flagger and the single lane traffic, she was finally back to making her way home.
Carrying the grocery bags in her hands she struggled unlocking the door only to cringe as she walked in. The dog got into the damn garbage again! She can't find it in her to yell or be angry at the poor thing, he only does this when Klaus is gone and his pitiful watery eyes are staring up at her from his head resting dejectedly on the floor between his paws.
"I know you miss him, but could you please cut me some slack?"
Stepping around the mess she quickly put the groceries away so they don't spoil. Trying not to think about just how far this little incident would set her back, she began to clean up the mess. After mopping the floor and putting the cleaning supplies away she went outside to take out the garbage bag. Deciding at the last minute to just drag the damn can out to the road now instead of risking the possibility of forgetting to do so later and miss the garbage pick up the next morning.
As she washed her hands with a grossed out look on her face, she really hates having to touch that garbage can, she heard the familiar sound of the school bus and her head shoots towards the clock on the stove.
"Seriously? You have got to be kidding me!" Drying her hands on a dish towel and rushing to open the front door for her children, lambasting the whole way about how this day is just not going her way.
The children are bickering, as they do every day, about who made it to the door first, and she rolled her eyes wondering just why that was something to argue about in the first place.
Their argument is quickly forgotten as the dog barrels down the hall excited to see his babies home from school. Caroline just shakes her head all the while thinking that the dog is a little traitor as the children laugh and giggle about what a good puppy he is.
Getting the children's favorite snack ready, for this week anyways, she's ready to set the plates of cut up apples and peanut butter down when she stops, holding the plates above their heads with a stern look, "Did we wash our hands?"
With sullen faces the siblings turned and ran off to the downstairs bathroom to wash up after being at school all day and riding the bus. Caroline cringed at the thought of just how many germs where riding said bus along with her children. She had gotten sick one too many times from the things her children carried with them home.
Caroline rolled her eyes with a huff as she heard the standard bickering coming from the bathroom, "Don't fight over who goes first!"
The echo of their tiny voices reached her ears with a, "Sorry Mommy!"
Caroline spent the next hour of her day happily listening to her children tell stories of their day while they all munched on apples. This had to be about the best part of her day so far, she thought with a smile as she listened to their animated tales of lessons they learned, who did what at recess and the new art project Claudia was working on in class while Samuel raved about the short story he had written today.
"Mommy, when are you going to curl my hair? You promised you would this morning remember!" Claudia looked at her with her big puppy-dog blue eyes.
Caroline giggled as her daughter bounced in her seat, "Yes I remember. Let's go do that now so I can start dinner before your Dad gets home."
"Mom, can I play a video game while you do that?" Samuel asked hesitantly with just a hint of begging.
Caroline bit her lip in indecision, on normal days they did not allow them to play video games until after homework was done. But with her curling her daughter's hair, she couldn't very well help her son with his homework at the same time. "I guess so. But," She said louder over he son's excitement, "You have to promise me that you won't cause me any grief when I tell you to stop so you can do your homework."
Getting his promise to not cause any problems she took her daughter up to her bathroom to work on her hair. She tried really hard not to get upset when Claudia started fussing about how long it was taking and if she was done yet when she was only a third of the way finished, "Sweetie, you do this every time when you ask me to do your hair."
"I know Mommy. But I forget that it takes so long!" Claudia whined back as she swung her legs back and forth from her spot on the vanity chair.
Trying to figure out a way to keep her daughter occupied so she could finish up and not end up accidentally burning her with the curling iron with all her fidgeting, Caroline's eyes lit up as she found on idea, "Hey! Why don't we practice your song for the recital coming up in a few weeks?"
"But I can't dance when you're doing my hair." Claudia said almost as if she was appalled at her Mother's suggestion.
Caroline chuckled, "No, but you do have to remember all the words to the song you have to sing as you dance. Let's just try."
After successfully singing along with her daughter and getting her hair done to perfection, the two made their way downstairs to the living room where Samuel was busy playing his game. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw that unfolded load of laundry sitting in a pile mocking her and comes up with a plan of attack.
"Hey! I have an idea!" Caroline clapped her hands together, "You know what would make Daddy really happy?"
Both children look at her questionably.
"If you helped Mommy fold that laundry over there." At their skeptical faces she adds in, "Daddy would be so proud to hear that you helped Mommy while he was gone."
She smirked as that worked like a charm and Claudia was already sitting on the floor and Samuel was saving his game and shutting it down. She would not let herself feel bad for tricking her children into helping. They needed to start helping with choirs anyways, and besides, Klaus really would be happy to hear that they had helped her out around the house.
Caroline had a smile on her face as they excitedly helped her fold the clothes and towels. Though it took quite a bit of effort to keep it there and it did look more like a grimace since most of what they folded she would have to go behind them and refold again. They were so proud of their work that she didn't have the heart to tell them their folding capabilities were less than stellar. It was her own fault anyway, for tricking them into helping her when she knew quite well that they had issues folding clothes the right way. Once they were done, the children ran off into the kitchen to get their homework together while Caroline sneakily fixed the items they folded.
Noticing the time on the clock hanging on the wall Caroline rushed into the kitchen to help with homework and start on dinner leaving the clothing to be put away later.
As the children worked she opened the refrigerator to pull out the chicken she had bought at the store so she could get it in the oven in time for Klaus's arrival only to stop and freeze with her hand outstretched. Frantically she moved everything around and even checked the freezer just in case. She shut the doors with a little more force than necessary as she moaned. She never bought the stupid chicken. The stupid chicken was still sitting in the meat cooler at the meat department of the store. The meat department that she had planned to stop at after she got everything else since it was swarming with walkers and power wheelchairs.
"Great. Now what I am going to make for dinner?" She mumbled to herself.
"What'd you say Mommy?" Samuel asked as he finished his math paper.
"Nothing," Caroline sighed, "I just…"
The dog started barking and whining like crazy just as the front door opened. The children's faces lit up like it was Christmas.
"Daddy!" They both yelled as they took off towards the front of the house.
Caroline forgot about dinner and her long stressful day at the fact that Klaus was finally home; with a giant smile she followed the children. She was greeted with the sight of Klaus's bags sitting on the floor of the foyer forgotten as he was tackled to the ground by their children and the dog. She leaned against the wall watching with a smile as they all laughed on the floor together, both children talking at once trying to gain their Father's attention as the dog whimpered and whined.
"Alright my little wolves. Let me up so I can greet your Mother properly." Klaus stood as the children got up and the dog wandered off.
He took his time letting his gaze roam over her form that he missed sorely while he was away. His face held a dimple filled smile as he stopped in front of her cupping her cheek, "Hello My Love."
"Welcome home Klaus." She said softly right before his lips crashed to hers.
The kiss seared her straight down to her toes. God how she loved this man! She hated when he had to be away for so long, and her kiss told him just how much she had missed him. She felt like she was floating on cloud nine after a kiss like that. Not even their children's chuckles could bring her down, and from his smiling face when he pulled back, he felt the same. That is, until he uttered the three words no woman wants to hear after the day she had, "What's for dinner?"
Her smile fell off her face as she pulled back with a glare. She knew it wasn't his fault. That he had no idea just how her day had went but she couldn't help that her irritation had finally snapped, "What's for dinner? I'll tell you what's for dinner." She stated coldly, "The stupid chicken that is still at the damn store because I just happened to go during geriatric day! Ugh!" She spun away from him only to turn back around waving her hand at him, "Of course that's the first thing you ask when you get home. Do you have any idea the kind of day I've had?" Her voice was near a screech toward the end of her sentence.
"Well no Love I don't, but I was going to ask…" Klaus's mouth slammed shut as she continued right over the top of him.
"Well I'll tell you! First we have a late morning, and then I had to deal with the normal Elena drama. Then you Mother," She spat out the title as if it was a curse word, "called to remind me about the Sunday brunch. Like I can't remember a thing!" She threw her hands up in the air, smacking her thighs as the fell back down. "Let alone that while everyone else is allowed to bring a dish she feels my cooking isn't up to par enough for her standards. Then I had to rush to get out the door just to deal with the seniors shopping day, and I only went in the first place so I could make your favorite dinner for you when you got home. Your dog got into the garbage again so that put me behind some yet again. By the time I got that cleaned up the kids were home. Then it was snacks and hair and homework. They thankfully helped me fold the clothes." She gave him a pointed look that he knew meant that she had to refold what they had worked on, "Then I head into the kitchen only to find I completely forgot to pick up the stupid chicken and now here you are asking me, what's for dinner?" She mimicked his British accent and he fought down the chuckle and the smile at her horrible take on it. "It is not funny." Her eyes narrowed at him.
"I know, I know." He replied waving his hand out trying to calm his laughter.
"Then stop laughing!" His mouth clamped shut but he knew the damage was done. Caroline closed her eyes for a moment before she looked back at him, "You know what, I don't know what's for dinner. How about that." She said as she stormed off to put the laundry away.
"Is Mommy okay?" Claudia asked as she pulled on her Father's sleeve.
Klaus smiled down at his children, "Yes Mommy will be fine little Love. I promise. It sounds like your Mother just had a trying day is all. Did the two of you complete your homework assignments?" At their nods he grinned and walked to his bag, "Well then I suppose you can go and play this," He pulled out the video game they had been asking about for months now, "But," He held it up before they could take it, "I want the two of you to play together without any arguments and to play quietly while I take care of your Mother."
"We will Daddy, we promise. Right Claudia?" Samuel asked and Claudia nodded her head so fast that her adorable curls bounced all around her.
"Alright then, off with you now." Klaus chuckled as they both latched onto his legs thanking him before they rushed off.
Klaus grimaced as he looked to the stairs where his wife had disappeared to. He knew it was likely that she was sulking after her outburst. She always was so hard on herself when she snapped like that, especially when she did so in front of their children. She was possibly being even harder on herself being that she hadn't seen him in almost a week. Klaus racked his brain to find a way to make her feel better, not only after her frustrated display in front of the children, but after what sounded like a very tiring day for her. He grinned as he found the answer and set about making it happen.

Upstairs in their bedroom Caroline was hanging the last of the clothing up, grumbling to herself about how she ruined her husband's homecoming, when she felt Klaus's arms band around her waist as he placed a tender kiss on the curve of her shoulder.
"I'm sorry I went off like that downstairs." Caroline sighed as she placed her hands on his arms. "It's not your fault I had a horrible day."
"No, it's not." Klaus hummed as he nuzzled into her neck taking in her much missed scent. "Though I know you weren't blaming me My Love."
Caroline pulled herself out of his arms, "Argh! Why do you always have to be so understanding? I was so excited to have you home; it was the one thing I've been looking forward to all day. The one thing that helped me through all the crap and then I went and ruined it."
Klaus yanked her back into his arms with a cheeky grin, "I'm happy to hear that I can make your day better even if I am not present."
"Klaus." Caroline sighed as her shoulders slumped. "I am trying to apologize here."
"Just as I am trying to tell you that you have nothing to apologize for." Klaus replied as he cupped her cheek. "Now, how about we start this welcome home over, hmm?"
Caroline rolled her eyes, not able to fight off the grin, "Welcome home Klaus. I'm happy you're back."
Klaus licked his lips stepping further into her warm body, "Just as I am happy to be home Caroline." He said with a husky tone before pulling her face to his and sensuously moving his lips with hers. He loved that she moaned into the kiss as her lush body all but melted into his own as her fingers gripped tightly into his hair. He kept one hand burrowed in her golden locks as his other ran down her back slowly cupping her bottom and yanking her closer to show her just what she did to him.
He pulled his lips off of hers, smirking at her dazed and lust filled eyes before he began placing kisses along her neck causing her to tremble. His mind filled with images of how they would show each other just how much they missed one another tonight after the children were tucked away in their beds.
Running his lips up to her ear he flicked his tongue along its shell before his breath puffed in her ear bring about more of those delicious moans and shivers from her that he could never get enough of, "I have something tell you Caroline."
"What's that?" She said between her husky harsh breaths.
"Hmm." He hummed in her ear as he placed another well planned open mouthed kiss right below her ear. Then he uttered the three words every woman wants to hear, "I ordered pizza."
Caroline's eyes snapped open as she pulled back a little with her hands on his shoulders, "Wait what?"
His grinned as he twirled a lock of her hair around his fingers, "I figured after the day you had, the least I could do was take care of dinner. And since it's so close to dinner time, meaning I do not have the time to cook a meal that will have us eating before it's shower time for the children, I figured as much as you try and avoid it, I would just order pizza."
Caroline rolled her eyes with a grin, "I avoid it because I love it so much and that's not good for my figure."
Klaus yanked her into his still hard length, "You have nothing to worry about in that regards." Raising an eyebrow with a smirk, "But if you doubt me I will be more than happy to show you just how much I adore your figure later tonight."
She licked her lips, "You promise? Even if I eat half a pizza to myself?"
He smiled back at her pinching her bottom making her giggle, "Even if you eat an entire pizza to yourself."
With a smile she huffed out a laugh, "Thank you. You really know just what to say to a girl to make her day so much better."
"Well I have had years of practice Love." He replied smugly as he held her close.
She giggled back at him, "Yes but only after years of making blunders." They shared a laugh before she cupped his cheek, relishing in the tingles his stubble gave her. "I love you. I have no idea what I would do without you."
He smiled tenderly back at her, "As I love you. And you shall never have to find out." He said before pressing his lips to hers once more, only to stop as the doorbell rang signaling that their dinner had arrived. With a smile and another shake of her head she took hold of her husband's hand as they walked back down the stairs. The children were arguing in the living room, the dog was going ballistic over the doorbell but she didn't care. All her stress from the day melted away when her husband uttered those three words every woman wants to hear after a day like she had. I ordered pizza.
