With that Klaus let go and was back in reality. He walked back to Caroline's coffin, took out the cure and after a little hesitation injected her with it. He saw that the skin near the place she was injected with was slowly starting to get cured but she didn't wake up just yet. He knew that it would take some time, so he went to talk with his siblings.

"You did what?" Freya growled.

"I gave the cure to Caroline." Klaus just repeated the same line to his sisters and Hayley.

"You chose this bitch over your own flesh and blood, Nik?" Rebekah was miffed.

"I chose Caroline because someone had to put her first for once. Elijah was fine with it. And I'm not giving up on our brother either. We'll keep him in a magical slumber until we'll find away to make more of the cure."

"Unbelievable, Klaus. And how long is that going to take? Months? Years?" Hayley started to sob. "Elijah won't see Hope grow up. He'll miss everything."

"I'm sorry, Hayley, I really am. But it is what it is. I have to go, Caroline will soon wake up."


Klaus sat by her, while she was lying on his bed, about to wake up.

Klaus was lost deep in his thoughts when she finally woke up.

"Klaus?" She stirred.

"I'm here, sweetheart. You are OK. Everything is OK."

Caroline's hand went instinctively to touch her neck to where the wound had been but now it was completely healed.

"How?"

"I gave you the cure?" Klaus sighed, know what was coming his way now.

"You didn't?" Caroline was shocked. "Please tell me you didn't just kill your brother?"

"I didn't. I just gave this one dose to you. We'll keep Elijah in a slumber until we'll find the solution."

"Why?"

"Do you even have to ask?" Klaus asked. "Because, I love you, Caroline Forbes. And I thought that finally someone had to put you first."

Caroline was surprised to hear that. He and Elijah were so close that Caroline was sure that Elijah would get the cure.

"Still, you shouldn't have done it," she said, while she raised herself up to sit on the bed. "So what now.?"

"Now you are free. You can do whatever you want to do, go where ever you want to go. But I wouldn't go to Mystic Falls where the Salvatore's live as Damon is still a threat to you."

"I won't go anywhere."

"What to you mean by that? Klaus asked confused.

"I'm staying here with you," And with that Caroline closed the distance between them, grabbed his head and pulled him in a passionate kiss.

"Is this some sort of show of gratitude? Klaus asked.

"That too, but not only. I love you, too, Klaus Mikaelson. I'm not staying because of gratitude, I am staying here because I want to be with you. While I was in the slumber, I had time to think bout how we are all monsters who have done terrible things. As Stefan once said, the thing that keeps the rest of us grounded, is that we have a family we can trust. You didn't have that back then, but now you do. You have your child, her mother, your sisters and you have me to fight for you I believe in you Klaus. I believe we can raise above our differences and not let them define our relationship. And besides, After a sacrifice like that, I know you are the one for me."

Klaus is really touched by her speech to him about family and their (Klaus and Caroline's) relationship. For the first time, he's about to have everything he ever wanted and he doesn't know what do with it, so she pulls her close for another long kiss.

When they finally broke it apart, they kept their foreheads together, as Klaus asked her, "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely"

Then he kissed her again, this time more hungrily and they started to undress each other. This was the night they both had longed for so long.
