Hi guys! Double update!

I've decided that some of these drabbles will also be just dometic Klaroline, kids or no kids. With that said, this one has no children or any of the other crap from TVD/TO.

AH/AU.

This is based on that adorable fan art by RubyJewel37 on Twitter. Sorry for any spelling or grammatical errors.

Happy reading :)

Caroline was on a mission as she quickly closed the oven door after placing the seasoned chicken on the top rack, and the Hawaiian sweet rolls were heating underneath. The already made green beans were in the microwave and the strawberry ice cream for dessert was cooling in the freezer.

The entire meal was planned and made by her, well store bought, but Caroline prepared it herself. She was determined to make this the best dinner anyone has ever had, mainly because she was cooking for Klaus' family.

It had been a month since Caroline and Klaus' spontaneous Las Vegas trip which ended with them drunkly getting hitched.

They had been dating for over a year, prior to that, and both couldn't get enough of each other. It didn't take long for them Caroline to move in with Klaus after only being together for three months.

The couple talked about marriage and having a future together before but neither expected Elvis to be the one marrying them off. But even though it wasn't as glamorous as Caroline imagined her wedding to be, she loved Klaus too much to care and it was the happiest night of her life.

Everything was perfect. They stayed in Vegas for the remainder of the weekend to celebrate their unofficial honeymoon from their unofficial wedding. It was all fine until they returned to their Mystic Falls apartment with an unexpected visit from Klaus' mother, Esther, and his younger sister Rebekah who were waiting for their return.

It barely took a second for Esther to notice the wedding ban on Caroline's finger, as much as she tried to hide it.

Klaus could already sense the disapproval from his mother and sister.

There was no secret that Klaus' family weren't the biggest Caroline fan, but they were much more discrete prior to them being newlyweds.

But they were in love, got married and neither should feel ashamed about it which was why Klaus decided to host a dinner at their place. His mother and six siblings. He planned on calling a caterer but Caroline insisted she's cook.

She had been slaving over the stove for a all day, that's where Klaus found her after picking up a few bottles of Chardonnay from the store.

He placed the bags in the dining room before walking into the hectic kitchen. Leaning against the threshold, he observed.

Caroline hadn't even acknowledged his existence as she hurriedly grabbed the packaged salad and a bowl. She cursed herself before rushing to the refrigerator for the shredded cheese.

Klaus smirked as he admired her, grinning wide when the sun reflected off the silver ban on her finger.

Her blonde curls still in tact even with her rushing and face flushed red. If only she knew how adorable she looked flustered.

With that said, Klaus finally stepped into the room with Caroline's back facing him.

She screeched when Klaus' arms snaked around her waist from behind, making her drop one of the stirring spoons.

"Seriously!" Caroline turned around, playfully pushing him away and swatting him on the chest. "What if you were an intruder or something?! I could have hurt you!"

"Yes, love your wooden spoon is extremely threatening." Klaus joked with a laugh.

"Don't be an ass." She sighed with a hand on her hip.

Klaus smirked as he walked back up to her, leaning down to softly kiss her pouting lips. Thankfully Caroline reciprocated the kiss, opening her mouth to him for his tongue to have entry.

She moaned against his mouth as his hands squeezed her sides. Her hands rested on his chest and tongue licked the roof of his mouth.

It felt amazing being with him so intimately, especially after all the stress. She loved feeling him. With this being her first stress free moment all day, Caroline wanted to take advantage of it but she knew she needed to finish cooking before seven and it was already six.

Caroline kissed him once more before pulling away and leaving her forehead against his. "I don't want to stop, but I have to."

Klaus frowned. "Love, the food is halfway done and you've been up all day, cooking and cleaning, you deserve a break." He tightened his hold in her hips.

She swatted away his tempting hands. "Stop. I have to prove a lot to your mom after this whole secret wedding fiasco. Which means no sex breaks." Caroline claimed turning back towards the salad.

"Firstly, it was not a secret wedding because neither of us planned it. And secondly, you have nothing to prove to my mother or siblings." Klaus said.

She looked back at him. "Actually it was a secret wedding because you weren't even going to tell your mom if she didn't unexpectedly show up here."

"Sweetheart-"

"And for your second point, I'm glad you think that I have nothing to prove, it's sweet really but we both know you're wrong. Now can you just let me finish making this meal?" Caroline snapped, turning away from him again.

Klaus knew she was right. No one was ever good enough for him in his mother's eyes.

His siblings were no better, as judgmental as she was, except for Henrik and Kol but that was probably because they were the youngest and didn't care about nonsense like class status.

Though Klaus came from a privileged background, he didn't care to find that in a partner and Caroline didn't even know about his wealth until later into their relationship.

It was a genuine love they shared that they bounded with marriage. He wasn't ashamed and didn't want her to be either.

Caroline continued tossing the salad when she felt Klaus's arms around her waist again.

"Klaus." She warned with a smile, thankful he couldn't see.

"Caroline." He huskily said into her French vanilla smelling blonde hair as he pulled her closer to him.

She bit her bottom lip, smiling as he began leaving kisses up her neck and his fingers tickling her sides. "Klaus, stop. I'm cooking."

"Preparing a salad is hardly what I'd consider cooking, love."

Caroline leaned her head back as she laughed. "You are such an ass, you know that?"

"An ass that loves you."

She quickly turned to face him with a soft smile. "I love you too. I wouldn't be going out of my way with this dinner if otherwise."

Klaus grinned. "I know and I appreciate your efforts but no matter what my mother thinks we're still going to be together, whether she likes it or not."

Caroline faintly grinned. Her hands hesitantly rubbed his chest. "Well, we still need to make it official. It's not a done deal yet, you know if you wanted to back out or something..."

He furrowed his eyebrows. "Caroline?"

"I just don't want us making a mistake." She interrupted with a sniffle.

Klaus was confused why she was suddenly doubting their relationship.

"Marriage is a huge decision, Klaus and we were both kinda drunk when we made that huge decision. Maybe after awhile of thinking about it and hearing your family out, you'll realize they're right and I don't fit in your world. That we're not right for each other and we were just fooling ourselves..."

She could feel the pressure in her chest, wanting to cry her eyes out.

Caroline wasn't sure why she started to feel this way. The concept of confronting Klaus' family was scary especially since the other few times she was around them she felt like such an outsider.

Like when Klaus invited Caroline to his family's Summer home in the Hamptons for his oldest sister Freya's birthday last year, she felt like a fish out of water.

Everyone there made her feel small. Or when Klaus' older brother Elijah attended their apartment warming party, she overheard him asking Klaus why wouldn't he go for a more qualified woman. That Klaus was making a mistake.

She never told him about that.

Was she going to have to feel like that for the rest of her life if she stayed with him?

"Hey..." Klaus' voice shook Caroline out her thoughts.

"Look at me Caroline."

She shook her head.

She didn't want him seeing her red face and tearful eyes.

He lifted her chin up with his finger. His heart aching at the sight of the woman he loved in distress.

Klaus sighed. "It's truly amazing how beautiful you are even when you're upset." He pushed the loose strands of hair off her face.

"You're already getting laid. Lying to make me feel better isn't necessary." Caroline softly laughed with a sniffle.

Klaus chuckled. "I would never lie to you." He claimed wrapping his arms around her waist again so they were chest to chest.

Caroline exhaled when Klaus sweetly kissed her on the forehead.

He looked down at her. "I love you Caroline, I'm very much in love with you. I never thought I could be that guy who falls in love and stays committed to one person. Relationships didn't interest me because there was no one worth it to me, to open myself to...until I came across a smart mouthed blonde at the supermarket fighting for the last box of soy bars."

Caroline grinned with shaky lips recalling the day they first met.

"They was almond flavored." She clarified.

Klaus smirked.

"Please don't tell me that's what did it for you?" She laughed.

"A beautiful woman fighting through the pits of hell for nutrition bars? My biggest turn on." He joker making Caroline laugh.

"Walking up to you that day was the best decision I made. I don't regret it, I don't regret anything with you."

Caroline nibbled on her lip. "Klaus, I just don't think I can do this. It was fine when were in our Vegas bubble just basking in our love but I don't think I can be apart of a family that hates me."

Klaus cuffed both sides of her face in his hands. "Listen to me when I say my mother has no say in who I want to spend my life with. Her opinions don't matter to me."

"You can't say her opinions don't matter, I know they do. She's your mom."

"And I respect her dearly but I'm also an adult who's capable of making my own choices."

Caroline still seemed unconvinced.

Klaus nervously licked his lips. "That weekend, you called your mother. You told her we were married she wasn't too happy about it. She never thought I was good enough for you and would hurt you and even when I proved her wrong, she still despised me. But that didn't change your mind about me, did it?"

Caroline huffed. "No."

"Just as my family won't change mine." Klaus smiled, rubbing her arms.

She nodded. "Right. You're right, I don't know why I'm getting cold feet and technically we're already married so cold feet is kinda a stupid thing to be going through. I just...I'm sorry."

She sighed into his chest when she wrapped her arms around his waist for a hug.

He kissed her on the forehead. "You don't need to apologize, love. If anything, your rambling is one of your most adorable characteristics."

Caroline scoffed. "It's not adorable and yes I do. Not to mention this dinner is so behind schedule. The salad isn't even finished." Caroline whined while still holding onto him.

Klaus laughed while caressing her hair. "It's quite alright, Mrs. Mikaelson."

Caroline's head shot up, staring up at her grinning husband.

"Say it again." She softly demanded.

He grinned, cuffing her face between his hands. "Mrs. Mikaelson."

"Again." Caroline practically begged.

It felt more real each time he said it.

Klaus pulled her closer before leaning down to kiss her soft lips. It was a simple but effective kiss.

"I love you, Mrs. Mikaelson." He murmured against her lips.

Caroline widely smiled, loving to hear that she really was his wife.

That the man holding her safe in his arms right now was the man she was going to spend the rest of her life with.

She kissed him again briefly. "I love you too. So much, Mr. Mikaelson."

Klaus smiled, passionately meeting her lips with his as they stayed wrapped in each other.

Caroline could feel all of Klaus' love in each kiss and was tempted to call off the whole dinner so they could have the evening just with each other.

She reluctantly pulled away from his embrace, her fingers playing with the curls in the nape of his neck.

"I don't want to stop, but I have to." Caroline softly repeated her previous self pep talk.

"Do you now?" Klaus smirked, kissing a spot on her neck.

The blonde bit back a moan as she detangled her body from his. "Yes. Your family will be here any minute and I need to finish the food, now shoo shoo..." She waved him away. "And stop looking at me with those dimples. It's not fair." Caroline protested, amusing Klaus.

"Then stop being so tempting..." He purred, reaching out for her belt lope and pulling her to him.

She groaned when he brushed his fingers over the skin, teasing the zipper of her jeans.

Caroline could feel the heat rushing up to her face and down her core as she met his lustful gaze.

They both froze at the sound of the doorbell ringing...

Part 2?
