Klaus wakes up breathing hard and gasping for air he doesn't need.
"Nik, what's wrong?" Caroline asks as she rolls over.
"Nothing, it was just a nightmare."
Caroline, noticing his distress, motions for him to come closer and allows his head to fall into her lap as she runs her fingers through his hair."Tell me about the bad dream."
"We were at Father Kieran's funeral," he says with a sigh. "I went up to the coffin and opened it to find a baby girl resting there. And when I went to pick her up, I was stabbed from behind with the white oak stake. As I turned around, I saw Mikael, a satisfied glint in his eye, with your heart in his hand and your dead body splayed on the ground behind him."
"It was just a nightmare," she says, fingers still stroking through his hair, "and I'm not going anywhere. You're just scared about becoming a father, but I know you'll make an excellent one. I'll be there to help every step of the way."
Klaus looks up and presses a kiss into her hand. "Thank you, my love."
"Anytime," she says with a kiss.

A couple hours later, Caroline wakes up to an empty bed and finds Klaus painting. "Good morning. Have you been up all night?"
"I couldn't fall back asleep."
Resting her chin on his shoulder, she takes in the painting of her sleeping and says, "That's beautiful."
Klaus slinks his arms around her waist. "I have a beautiful muse."
Caroline smiles, puts her arms around his neck and leans into give him a kiss when a loud drilling sound fills the room. "What's with all the racket?" she laughs.
He moves to the balcony and glances down into the courtyard to find Elijah, who wears an olive v-neck and black slacks, surrounded by a work crew. "Is there a problem, Niklaus?"
"I agreed to spruce up the place, not to entice a bloody three-ring circus to disturb my concentration," he growls as he descends the stairs.
"Marcel and his minions spent more than a century destroying our family home. While you may be content to live in filth, I am not."
Caroline comes down the stairs dressed in ripped capris with a black off-the-shoulder ruffled short sleeve top and black heels. "I agree with Elijah," she says, "this place needs a makeover! It's time to join the twenty-first century."
"It's not good when she agrees with you," Klaus whispers in aside to his brother.
"Elijah," she says as she smacks her boyfriend playfully in the chest, "can I help you redesign this place? I already designed my dorm room and I'll do the same for my new home."
"That would be lovely, thank you."
All three vampires grab their heads and fall to the ground. When they look up, they see Monique and a blonde girl with their hands raised in spell. "You killed Genevieve and upset the ancestors—they had a plan for her!"
Klaus embraces Caroline tight in his arms, but it's Elijah who speaks up. "Let's sit down and talk about this," he offers
Monique and the blonde girl release Elijah and Klaus but focus on Caroline. She screams at the pain hemorrhaging inside her head.
"She has nothing to do with this. Let her go," the elder Mikaelson commands.
"Let her go or I will send you back into the ground before your lips can mutter another bloody spell," Klaus snarls.
The blonde releases her but Monique doesn't. "Do you want to die again, Monique?" she asks.
"I want Genevieve back!" she says. "She was our coven leader and now we don't have one and it's her fault. She needs to die."
Klaus and Elijah look at each other and then down at the screaming Caroline. Klaus nods to Elijah and Elijah takes Caroline in his arms.
While Klaus pins Monique to a wall, his eyes yellow and glaring, his double set of fangs descend. "You wouldn't listen to my brother, but you will listen to me!"
His hand tightens around her neck and he leans in to sink his fangs into her neck, which sends the witch yelping.
Caroline is sweating from all the pain and is huddled in to Elijah's arms. The blonde witch gives Klaus an aneurism. Klaus drops Monique.
"I want you to listen to our demands," she says.
Elijah has Caroline in his arms. He goes over to his brother who is also in pain. " You barge in here give us aneurisms and now you have demands?" he says incredulously.
"You either listen…or they die."
Elijah glances at his brother who writhes on the ground and at the sweating Caroline in his arms. "Speak," he says.
"We want a party," they smile, "something festive so that we can introduce ourselves to the community. They give us gifts, and we offer them a show."
"You just barged in here with the intention of destroying my family, and now you want a party?" he says, speechless.
"The ancestors want her dead for killing Genevieve." Monique waggles a finger at Caroline. "I will compromise if you give us this festival."
Elijah looks down at the couple on the ground. Caroline is weak and sweaty and curled up In a ball Klaus is trying to fight the aneurism." Fine."
The blonde witch stops her spell, leaving the two of them breathless and exhausted on the ground.
Elijah flashes inside and gets a couple blood bags for them. He bends down and gives the bags to Klaus who has pulled Caroline into his lap again and puts the bag in her mouth. "Drink sweetheart," he says
When they both recover their strength, they kiss before Caroline hugs Elijah, "Thank you for saving us," she says.

After a shower, Caroline changes into capris with a gold chain in the belt loop and a grey ruffle tube top and grey heels.
"What are you doing today, Nik?"
He stands near his easel as he cleans off his paintbrush after putting the final touches on his work from the morning. "I have to go to the church later and check on Father Kieran."
"Ok, I'm going to go get Davina and drive her back here so she can look through Esther's grimoire."
Klaus looks back at her, his eyebrows raised. "Davina likes you even though your dating me?"
"Yes," she smiles from the doorway. "She has became one of my friends she also likes my car."
Xxx
Caroline gets to the church and vamps upstairs to the attic " We need to get you all out of here now," she says.
"Calm down Caro. What's wrong?" Davina, Katherine, and Nadia ask.
"Klaus will be here any minute to check on Father Kieran and we need to get to wherever he isn't," she says, her voice weaker than usual.
Katherine can see Caroline is not her usual happy self "Caro what's wrong with you?"
Caroline looks over at her. "I will explain but I don't know how much time we have."
Xxx
Klaus leaves the compound and goes to the church. Since her uncle had been hexed, she'd confined him to the basement because getting him up the stairs was too large of a struggle.
"How is he today?" he asks as he enters.
"Well, well, look who finally decided to leave his uncle." Father Kieran and Cami swipe at one another. "And as you can probably see, not good," she says. "I was reading earlier and I came across a passage that suggested perhaps electric shock therapy could help people regain their sanity."
"And where do you suppose you find a doctor who will agree to this?"
Just then, Josh and a doctor entered the room.
"I don't think this will work," the latter says.
Josh goes over to the doctor and compels him "Try."
The doctor sets up everything and begins. " Looks like you got everything under control."
Cami sees Klaus turning to leave "You can't leave! If this doesn't work, we're going to need someone strong to hold him down…and you're stronger than the two of us."
Xxx
The girls enter a restaurant called Muriel's on Jackson Square.
"What can I get for you?" the waitress asks.
"Salad and a martini," Caroline answers.
"Wood-grilled pork chops and a bourbon," Katherine says.
Nadia orders the same thing as Katherine and Davina orders a salad and an iced tea.
Katherine looks at Caroline she needs to know what has been going on. "Caro spill."
Caroline looks around to see if anyone is watching or listening to them. "Yesterday morning, Klaus told me to call him Nik. Elijah walked in on us kissing. I pinned Cami to the wall when she barged into our room and called me a whore. After some amazing hot hybrid sex, Elijah told me I am part of the family," she explains.
Katherine is happy for her best friend but she wants more Elijah news.
"You are having a big week. So, did you make it to the bed this time?" she smirks.
Caroline takes a sip of her martini. "To answer your question, Kat, no, we haven't made it to a bed yet. We did make it inside, though, but I seduced him in the shower."
She turns to Davina next. "We only had a friendship prior to him and Rebekah coming back to Mystic Falls to gloat over Katherine's demise. But when he arrived, we slept together and then he informed me about the Hayley and the baby," she says. "I was mad at him at first, but after talking to Katherine, Nadia, and Stefan, I realized how much I wanted to be with him. To sum it up, I'm the yin to his yang."
Xxx
Klaus sits in one of the pews, clicking away on his phone while Cami and Josh employ electric shock therapy on Father Kieran. For an hour now, the priest has been fading in and out.
"If you try one more time, he's going to die."
"Then feed him your blood," Cami glares. "I will not lose my uncle. I won't, I won't!"
Klaus knows this won't work but bites his wrist and puts it to Kieran's mouth, only for Cami to try again and for her uncle to die.
Xxx
"Caro vampires can't procreate, though," Nadia says.
"I know, but apparently if you're an Original Hybrid and you sleep with a werewolf, you can make a baby. By the way, Davina—" she turns back to the witch "do you know a bitchy coven member named Monique and her little blonde friend?"
She nods. "Yes, they were both Harvest Girls. Monique used to be my best friend and the blonde's name is Abigail…why?"
The waitress comes back with their food. Caroline, while eating her salad, explains what happened this morning with Monique and Abigail. Katherine is not happy these witches have messed with the people she loves.
"These bitches are dead," she threatens.
"Kat, I know you want to do something because they tried to kill Elijah and I, but you can't—there's nothing we can do."
"Fine," she pouts, "but when we get home I am killing someone."
Xxx
After lunch, Katherine and Nadia head back to Virginia and Caroline takes Davina to the compound.
"Davina's here to look for that spell," she announces to the empty place.
Caroline calls the eldest. Elijah is in the bayou he went to check on how the baby was doing and there was a bomb explosion.
Caroline is in the study looking around. "Hey Elijah, Davina is here and we're looking for Esther's grimoire. Where did you put it?"
Elijah assists a little girl who's desperately searching for her mother.
"It's in the safe on the left side of the study. It's disguised as a filing cabinet," he says.
Caroline goes over to the filing cabinet. " It needs a combination."
Elijah has reunited the girl with her mom and steps away. "I'm busy at the moment, but I will call you back."
Caroline looks towards Davina, whose desperate to bring Kol back to the land of the living.
"Don't you want Kol back?" she says into the phone.
An explosion fills the air. "Elijah, what the hell is going on? Where are you?"
Elijah gets up and brushes dirt off his suit. "I'm in the bayou there are bombs going off. Of course I want Kol back he's my little brother."
"Be careful, okay?" she says. "Can you please tell me the combination I promise I won't tell anyone."
Elijah looks at all the dirty werewolves and the destruction. "The combination number is 1-4-9-2," he whispers into the phone.
"Thank you. Be safe."
Caroline smiles as she types twirls the combination, for it's the year Elijah met Katherine. Inside, there's a really old book and some other things. Caroline takes the old grimoire and lays it on the table.
"We have to be really careful with this," she says to Davina. "I never met Esther, but I have seen her and this book is a thousand years old."
"At the ball where you were Klaus' date?"
"Yes. He killed her a thousand years ago, but she came back last year to hold a ball for her family and the whole community. She linked all of her children together that night so that if one of them died, all of them died as well as their sire lines."
They cracked the grimoire open.
"Sire line?, huh" Davina asks.
Caroline nods.
Davina flips through the grimore. "Who sired your line?"
"Klaus. So, if he dies, then Katherine, Nadia, Stefan, Damon, Elena, Enzo, Marcel, and I plus thousands of others will all die with him."
Davina doesn't want Marcel or her new friends to die.
Xxx
Klaus is waiting to see if Father Kieran will wake up when his phone rings. "Hello love."
"Hey Nik, I just wanted to tell you that Elijah is in the bayou and while I was on the phone with him a bomb went off. I'm worried about him."
Cami perches near her dead uncle.
"Thanks, love. I will check it out," he says.
"I know this isn't any of my business," Caroline says, "but can I help you design the baby's room?"
"I'd love for you to help me," he smiles.
"Yay!" She claps. "I'll get started straight away. Can I borrow a sketchpad?"
Klaus laughs at her excitement. "Yes, but do you know where they are? By the way. we have to go to that witch party later."
"Aren't they with your art supplies?" Caroline glances over at Davina who's focused intently on finding the spell for Kol she needs. "Also, I don't think the witches want me there. I mean, they tried to kill me this morning. What makes you think they won't try again tonight?"
"You're right."
Klaus wishes he could protect her from everything but he knows he can't and he clicks off their conversation. Father Kieran gasps awake at that moment and makes the decision not to become a vampire. He wants to spend his last hours with his niece.
"I need to be going, anyway," he says.
Xxx
"Hey, have you find any privacy spells?" Caroline asks.
"Yeah, why?"
"I want to put a privacy spell on Klaus' room so nobody can hear us."
Davina picks up the grimoire carefully. "Show me the room," she says.
Davina does the spell and goes back downstairs. Caroline goes into the empty baby room and looks around. While looking for a sketch book, she finds all theses sketches of her: in her bed in Mystic Falls, in his bed in New Orleans, her dancing, her walking, her in the woods looking up at him, her laughing. She finally finds an empty sketchbook and goes back to Davina. "Anything yet?"
"Maybe…" Davina says, biting her bottom lip. "I found some body-switching spells, but no resurrection ones yet."
Caroline goes and sits on the couch and begins imagining the baby's room. "So you know all about my relationship with Klaus. What is your relationship with Kol?"
"Honestly, I don't know." She offers her friend a shy shrug. "All we did was talk."
"Sounds like you two are friends," Caroline says. "Which is good, because when Kol lived in Mystic Falls he didn't have any friends."
"This is random, but at lunch you used the phrase hot hybrid sex—where did that come from?"
Caroline looks up and laughs.
"I wasn't always friends with Katherine and Nadia. I was best friends with Katherine's doppelgänger, Elena, whose body you've seen."
"Anyway," she continues, "when Klaus moved to town, everyone tried to kill him. They thought they succeeded and had a Klaus-is-dead-we-are-alive party, but a few weeks later all of the vampires in town—save Damon—were captured and thrust into this van to be killed. But my friends-with-benefits at the time, Tyler, stopped the van and took me away. I was so happy he was alive that I started kissing him and told him that we were fugitives on the run and all signs pointed to hot hybrid vampire sex. He called me love and I figured out it was Klaus possessing his body. I slapped him and put my shirt back on. As he left, he told me that when he was in his own body, he would take me up on my offer of hot hybrid sex.
"This friendship is going to be interesting, isn't it?" Davina laughs.
"Definitely."

An hour later:
"I FOUND IT! I FOUND IT!" Davina yells.
"Yay! Now you can resurrect Kol!" Caroline applauds. "Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah will be happy—I know how much they all miss their brother."
"I knew there was a reason we kept you around," Klaus says from the doorway.
Caroline turns. Squints at him. "How long have you been standing there?"
"A few minutes." He vamps to where she stands and places a kiss on her cheek before he heads to the bar to hide a black box of some sort. "Is Elijah back from the bayou?"
"No. I'm worried about him and the baby."
"I'm happy you found a spell to bring Kol back, Davina," he says as he approaches her, "but leave."
Davina glares.
"I'm taking the grimoire with me. I found the spell I need, yes, but I need to study it."
Klaus vamps in front of Davina. "No. It stays here—you can do the spell later."
Davina scoffs and walks away.
Xxx
Klaus goes back over to the bar and gets the black box. Caroline watches him. "Nik, I have a surprise for you."
Klaus has the box behind him. " So do I, but you go first."
Caroline tries to look behind him but he vamps to the other side of the room.
"Seriously?"
Klaus nods. "What's your surprise, love?"
Caroline vamps to him. "I had Davina put a privacy spell on your room so no one can hear us."
"That was a good idea, my love."
Klaus takes Caroline's hand and leads her upstairs to their room.
"Shouldn't we find Elijah?"
"He'll be fine."
"Are you sure?" Worry blanches her features. "I know you're Originals and you can't be killed easily, but I think getting blown up could end you."
Klaus can see Caroline is still not convinced and worried about his brother he kisses her. After the kiss Caroline feels better, though she's still worried about Elijah.
Xxx
"I have nothing to wear to a witch party/festival," she sighs.
"You're telling me that Caroline Forbes doesn't have any dresses?"
She rolls her eyes. "I have dresses, but none for a fancy party."
Caroline pulls out a one shoulder black dress and shows it to him hesitantly.
"You will be the most beautiful one there. All eyes will be on you," he says.
Caroline blushes and puts the dress on with black stilettos. Klaus comes out of the closet in black dress pants and a black dress shirt paired with a red tie.
"You wear too much black," she comments, staring at his reflection in the mirror.
He shrugs as he wraps his arms around her waists and rests his chin on bare shoulder, placing a kiss against her bare skin. "It goes with the Big Bad persona, sweetheart. Maybe you don't wear enough of that color, hm?"
Caroline laughs, shaking her head. "You said you had a surprise for me?
"I did. Close your eyes," he whispers.
Klaus wanted to get Caroline a gift he almost lost her this morning. He gets the black jewelry box and stands in front of her. " Open your eyes."
Caroline gasps at the 10k white gold double heart black and white diamond pendant necklace. The black and white diamond hearts interlock, twined together.
"I love it!" she exclaims. "Thank you so much."
Caroline throws her arms around his neck and kisses him, then moves her hair to the side so he can fasten the necklace for her.
"I'm glad, love. I hated that I almost lost you this morning."
She caresses her fingers over the stubble of his chin. "But you didn't. I'm right here," she says.
Xxx
Caroline's phone rings.
"Ignore it."
"I can't. It could be important."
It's Enzo.
"We have a problem, gorgeous," he says.
Klaus wants to kill this Brit—whoever he is—for calling his Caroline romantic endearments.
"Can you please ascribe me another nickname, please?"
Enzo sounds confused. "Why?"
Caroline places a hand on Klaus' chest, patting him reassuringly. "Because I have an angry and jealous Original Hybrid who wants to kill you for calling his girlfriend that."
Enzo rolls his eyes as Rebekah lets out a little laugh. "How about perky blonde angel of death?" he offers.
Caroline rolls her eyes. "What's the problem, anyway?"
"The travelers took Stefan and we can't find him anywhere," he says with a loud exhale and a gulp. "They've started body-jumping into Mystic Falls residents. That wolf boy whose neck you snapped has one in him and Markos, their leader, has resurfaced."
Caroline is in shock. None of this was happening before she'd left.
"I'm leaving now. Meet me at the boarding house. I'll text you once I arrive in Mystic Falls."
Caroline hangs up. She rushes over to her suitcase and zips it up, Klaus watching her in head-scratching confusion. "Love, what is going on? And who the bloody hell is Enzo?"
"That's what you're focusing on? Enzo?" She exits the bathroom. "Not that Stefan has been kidnapped by the travelers? Or that these crazy people are inserting themselves into Mystic Falls residents? Seriously?"
"Look—" Klaus goes over to her. Grips her tenderly by the shoulders "I care that they're doing things to you mom. She is your family and that makes her my family, too."
"I know a little about the travelers, though I've never personally encountered them," he continues. "Kol knows more about them since he was more involved with witches."
Caroline rests her head on Klaus' shoulder.
"When I told my mom about us, she said that if you hurt me she'd kill you," she says with a chuckle. "And as for Enzo…he's my friend. He was tortured for seventy years in Augustine, where he met Damon. When he was released, he went on a killing spree with Damon after Elena broke up with him. I am helping him get over his PTSD like I did with Stefan when Silas locked him in a safe and threw him in the quarry."
"I would never hurt you," Klaus says, "but if Enzo is dangerous I don't want you anywhere near him. Do you understand me?"
"Enzo isn't dangerous, I promise."
"What is Augustine?" he asks.
"It was a secret society that did research on vampires. One of there doctors was a professor at Whitmore and told Elena and I that we needed to leave and never come back. Instead, Katherine and I drained him of his blood and I compelled him to forget that we were vampires."
"I know I can't stop you, so just be careful, will you? I simply can't lose you."
Caroline goes over to him and is between his legs and puts her arms around his neck his arms go around her waist.
"I will be. I have protection with Rebekah living with me and Stefan and Enzo. I will be safe, I promise. And just think," she smiles, "the next time I come there will be a baby."
Klaus shakes his head, looking forlorn, "While I'm here in the middle of this war," he scoffs. "But I want you go save Stefan and kill some travelers."
Caroline smiles down at him. "You are the only man alive who encourages his girlfriend to kill people," she laughs.
"Yes," he smirks, "yes, I am."
Xxx
Klaus takes her bags and puts them in her car, giving her a hug and a kiss. "Don't get hurt."
"I won't." She rubs a hand across his cheek. "And don't you get killed in this war."
"I'm un-killable, remember?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you you look extremely handsome in your suit," she says as she climbs into the car. She starts the engine. "It's a pity Stefan got kidnapped and the travelers are possessing people. I would have loved taking that suit off you tonight." She shrugs. "Oh well…"
"Thank you, my love. You look ravishing as well."
While driving, Caroline notices she has a voicemail from Damon. "Barbie," his sardonic voice quips into the phone, "now is not the time to be screening my calls. Stop your seduction of Ken and answer the phone—we have a problem."
Xxx
At the witch party the three Harvest Girls receive gifts and since Davina was receiving more, Monique instructs everyone to stop giving them to her.
Xxx
Elijah walks in to the compound. " Niklaus? Caroline? Where are you?"
Klaus comes over from one of the bars. "Caroline left," she says. "Stefan got kidnapped and travelers have been putting themselves in to residents of Mystic Falls."
He side-eyes his brother. "You knew she had to go back to Mystic Falls sometime, Niklaus."
Klaus slams his glass on the counter. "I know, but I don't want to talk about it."
Elijah leaves to change his suit and Klaus goes to the study to look through Esther's grimoire. He finds a daylight spell, a moonlight ring spell, and the spell Esther used to turn them into Original vampires. He also sees Caroline notes for the nursery.
He hears someone enter the compound he vamps to the front and sees a guy looking around. Klaus flashes behind him and puts him in a choke hold. "What do you think you're doing?" he grunts through gritted teeth.
"Monique wants Esther's grimoire. S-said you would b-be out," he stutters.
"Then it's a shame for you that I'm home, isn't it?"
Elijah comes downstairs in a new suit. "Niklaus, let's go and deliver our offerings to these demanding witches."
Xxx
Klaus and Elijah walk into the party. Klaus sees Davina is mad, so he goes over to her and Josh. "I can't help but notice that you have been overlooked," he says.
Pulling out a ring box from his pocket, he hands it to her and she glares.
"I don't want it," she spits back.
"I understand why you don't trust me," he says, "but this is from Caroline, too. Your friend."
"Where is she?" Davina looks around for her. "What did you do?"
"She had to leave. Her best friend was kidnapped," he says, mildly offended.
Xxx
Later Davina and Josh are looking at the ring box. "Open it," the vampire encourages.
Davina looks up at Josh and sees his curious face. She opens the ring box and there's a daylight ring and a spell.
"What is that?" he asks.
"A spell to make daylight rings."
Davina looks around and sees Klaus at the end of the hallway. " Why did you give this to me?"
Klaus looks at the witch in front of him. "Because I have another spell I need you to do for me. That, and for some reason that is beyond my comprehension, Caroline is friends with you."
"I am not your slave," Davina mutters under her breath, her brow furrowed.
"I know, but this is to help you in your witchcraft."
Davina can't understand what Caroline sees in him. " Why do you want to help me?"
Klaus puts his champagne glass down.
"Bringing back someone from the Other Side requires a lot of magic and a powerful witch. I need to know the witch bringing my little brother back is not an amateur and this spell I need you to do is very powerful."
Davina puts her hand on her hip. " I took on you, Elijah, and Marcel and won, remember?"
Klaus lets out a small laugh. " Fair point."
Xxx
Klaus sees Monique and has a special gift for her." I have to give you my offering."
"The only offering I want from you is that blonde's heart," she counters spitefully.
He hands he a box, suppressing the instinct to tear her heart from her chest. "Your friend gave me a hand picking it out."
Monique opens the box, and inside, she finds the severed hand of the man she'd sent to retrieve Esther's grimoire. She gasps.
"Did you really think I would leave my mother's grimoire out in the open?" he asks, his head tilted. He takes a step closer. "You are now mine. Whenever I need a spell completed, you will do it or you will receive something much more deadly than a severed hand."
"Don't threaten me, Hybrid," she says. "I am more powerful than you."
Klaus grins, that deadly yellow glint flashing in his eyes. "I own you, witch."
