Part 1 is chapter 4 just in case you haven't read it.
Enjoy (:
"Hello, Mother." Klaus formally greeted when he opened the front door where his mom, Esther, and siblings were waiting.
Caroline shyly stood next to Klaus, presenting the family with a warm but anxious smile.
"Niklaus." Esther greeted back, kissing him lightly on both cheeks before fully stepping into the apartment.
Dressed in a white sheath dress, that probably cost $1,000, and gold pumps and short strawberry blonde hair fluffed on the ends.
Esther looked as rich and intimidating as she was.
Caroline gulped as she noticed the woman staring her up and down before meeting her face with a fake grin.
"Hello, Caroline. Nice seeing you again." Esther claimed, reaching out to kiss Caroline on both cheeks.
Not being use to this type of greeting, Caroline was caught off guard but reciprocated the action.
"It's nice seeing you again as well, Mrs. Mikaelson." She softly said.
"'Mrs. Mikaelson'. It almost sounds redundant coming from you don't you think?" Esther grinned.
- Was that supposed to be a joke?
"No need to be so formal Caroline. After all, we're family now."
Caroline grinned.
"Let's not make her head any bigger than it already is, shall we mother." Rebekah spat as she hung her coat on the rack.
Her expression dropped.
"This is for you Caroline since I wasn't able to attend you and Nik's house warming party." The youngest, Henrik, handed her a set of candles in a silver ribboned box.
Given how sick she was already feeling just from the greetings alone, it was comforting to know Klaus wasn't the only Mikaelson who wasn't a complete ass.
"Thank you, Henrik. It's perfect, I love candles." Caroline smiled.
"Way to be tactful, Bekah." Kol beamed walking into the living room area.
"Oh please, you're the last one to lecture someone on tact."
"Our little Henrik is completely outshining you." Kol teased.
She scoffed. "As if I care to impress her." Her tone full of venom.
Klaus growled under his breath.
"Excuse my sister, darling she's not herself when she's hungry." Kol teasingly commented, winking at Caroline.
Rebekah nudged him in the shoulder.
"If you don't shut your mouth the next thing to come out of it will be your teeth." She threatened.
"Enough, both of you." Elijah intervened. "You're acting like juveniles."
"And who are you, my father?" Kol teasingly asked.
"No, but I am your mother." Esther stepped between the bickering siblings. "And you will not embarrass me in front of a guest."
Caroline's eyebrows furrowed.
- She did realize this wasn't her apartment and she's the guest, right?
This wasn't Caroline's first time meeting Klaus's family but each time felt like the first, not in a good way.
Each member was intimidatingly stunning and strong minded. Caroline couldn't help but feel inferior around them.
Klaus cleared his throat. "Why don't we all make our way to the dining area, shall we?"
The blonde mentally thanked her husband for breaking the odd tension brewing in the small room.
She managed to make a quick escape to the kitchen, to retrieve the food and take a breather.
Klaus glanced over as she exited before looking back at his mother who was already sticking her nose up at their framed pictures.
"No Freya or Finn, mother?" Klaus questioned as he walked towards her.
Esther disapprovingly examined the living room area as Klaus spoke.
"Can't say I'm surprised, I would have actually been impressed if Finn decided to take his head out his ass for once and attend anything of mine." He muttered the last comment as he lead his mother towards the dining table.
She swatted his hand. "Enough, Niklaus. You know Freya is still in Italy with Lucien but they are sending a gift in the mail." Esther claimed.
He nodded. "And Finn?"
Though Klaus had a big family, he wasn't close with everyone.
Rebekah and Henrik were the two siblings he bonded with the most, even though Rebekah was as judgy as the rest. They had this bond that only they could understand, and he had tried explaining it to Caroline before.
She knew he was never close with his oldest brother Finn, mainly because Finn blamed Klaus for majority of their family's dysfunctions.
Klaus lived a wealthy but sad life until he eventually found genuine sane love with Caroline.
Esther sighed, facing her son. "He was sorry he couldn't make it but sends his best, as does Sage." Esther apologetically smiled, placing her hand softly on his cheek.
"Mhmm..." Klaus simply nodded as the rest of his family sat around the table. He gracefully pulled her hand away and excused himself to help Caroline bring the food out.
The nervous blonde was walking towards him as he walked in the kitchen, almost bumming into each other.
Anxiety read all over her face and body.
Klaus could sense it.
"I like the apron look, love." He claimed with a smirk, fingers playing with the hem of the fabric.
She scoffed a 'seriously' as she held the plate of chicken.
Caroline didn't want to smile but it was hard not to when around him and his teasing slightly made her feel more at ease.
He snuck a kiss to her cheek, whispering a quick 'I love you. Everything will be okay' as he moved past her and his reassurance did actually make her feel better.
Caroline walked out and sat the chicken in the middle of the table, already feeling insecure again when she noticed Rebekah and Esther scrunch their noses.
- Typical.
When she attempted to go back for the bread, Esther stopped her.
"Caroline dear, is that dark meat?" Esther asked, pointing at the poultry.
The blonde gulped. "Um...yes?"
Rebekah chuckled at her nervousness, sipping on wine.
"Oh dear I'm so sorry but I don't eat dark meat. I thought Niklaus would have told you." Esther stated with fake concern.
Caroline slowly nodded. "I guess he forgot to mention it. I'm so sorry, did you want something else? I could make you something else if you want-"
She put up her hand to stop her rambling. "It's fine, really."
Rebekah rolled her eyes and began playing with her fork. "I don't know who's arse you plan to suck more, my mother's or Nik's? Though I'm sure there's something else of Nik's you'll be sucking."
Her face reddened as did Klaus's who just entered back in the room, with the salad and bread in hands.
"Rebekah, mind your tongue." Elijah sharply replied from across the table.
The younger sibling drank more rolling her eyes.
With their father dead, Elijah took that place as 'man of the house'. He was one of the oldest who actually took the initiative to call his siblings out on their inappropriate behaviors.
Klaus pressed his lips together before taking his seat next to Caroline.
"Don't mind Rebekah, darling. She's a bitter snob, always has been and always will be." Kol whispered to Caroline.
"Please let tonight be the night you finally choke and die." Rebekah muttered, pouring more wine in her glass.
"Enough, all of you." Esther sternly commanded.
Everyone at the table silently and awkwardly began passing the food around.
Rebekah making snooty expressions towards the food and Elijah avoiding eye contact with anyone.
No one knew what to say, where to start. Certainly not Caroline who was just trying to survive this dinner alive.
"Nik, is it true that you and Caroline are married?" Henrik abruptly asked, stunning the whole table.
Esther nearly dropped the bread plate.
"Henrik-"
"Finally entertainment!" Kol cheered placing bread in his plate.
"Kol." Elijah sighed.
Caroline could feel the lump in her throat.
"I overheard mother and Rebekah talking about how you married the 'equivalent of a chambermaid who just wanted to shag you to get to our money'."
Klaus choked on his drink while the rest's eyes widened at the surely innocent question.
"I don't think you're a chambermaid Caroline." The unfiltered young boy said with a genuine smile.
Even though insulted, Caroline smiled back at his compliment. "Thanks, Henrik."
"Forgive my dear brother, Caroline. He's still learning manners." Elijah claimed, glaring at the boy.
"I'm 12, I have manners." Henrik retorted.
She just waved it off while holding back her actual emotions.
Klaus rested his hand on her shaking one underneath the table, caressing her knuckles with his thumb. It was only temporarily soothing.
He cleared his throat. "Well to answer your question, yes. Me and Caroline are married." Klaus happily stated as he and his wife exchanged short smiles.
"Did you have a wedding?"
"More or less." Klaus softly chuckled which made Caroline softly laugh.
"I don't think eloping to Vegas with Elvis as the priest and having every freak from the strip as witnesses, is what I'd consider a wedding." Rebekah commented with a grin, cutting her food.
Caroline took a deep breath, focusing back on Henrik. "It definitely wasn't traditional or planned but, but still beautiful and just being with your brother made it perfect. We're planning to have a more official one for everyone to be there."
"Including me?" The young boy asked.
Henrik was so innocent and pure, Caroline could feel her heart melting.
"Of course, mate." Klaus smiled as the young boy smiled back.
She couldn't help but grin at the sweet exchange between Klaus and his youngest brother.
"So you're like, in love?" Henrik asked.
Klaus looked at Caroline lovingly and squeezed her hand before turning back to the young boy.
"Very much so." He answered, Caroline smiling at his answer.
Elijah's wince matched Esther's while Rebekah faked a gag.
Caroline's stomach fluttered at his words. She also appreciated that Klaus wasn't holding back his feelings for her in front of his judgmental family.
"That's weird. All that love stuff, I hope I never fall in love." Henrik claimed, making the table of adults laugh.
So young.
"Let me know if you still feel that way in about 10 years." Rebekah said as everyone laughed again while Henrik remained bewildered.
This would probably be the only point in the night they all mutually laughed at something.
- Why couldn't every dinner be like this?
"Are you going to have kids too?"
Fun's over.
Everyone, including Klaus and Caroline, were caught off guard by the question.
The couple turned red for the 136778 time that night.
Rebekah nearly choked on her food, Esther nearly had a strobe, Elijah spat back his wine while Kol laughed at everyone's reaction. Henrik stared confused at why everyone was reacting so dramatically.
"What, don't married people have children?" He innocently asked.
"Not all." Rebekah answered, rubbing her chest and taking a sip of wine.
"I'm so glad Henrik tagged along. He's making this dinner much more fun than I anticipated." Kol laughed.
Caroline wanted to fly away from this table as soon as possible, or at least smother herself with a pillow.
She and Klaus had talked about kids, mostly in the beginning of their relationship.
Oddly enough, Klaus wanted them more than she did but she figured it was because he was use to having such a big family.
Caroline was an only child with a single mother. She didn't care for kids until she fell in love with Klaus and realized it was probably something with him.
Klaus cleared his throat. "Umm, we're still discussing it."
"Discuss wisely. Children are a big responsibility, Niklaus. You have to make sure you have created a stable and nurturing environment before bringing a child into the world." Esther commented as she cut her salad.
Caroline drank some of her wine to calm her nerves.
"That's already taken care of, but thanks for the concern mother." Klaus mumbled.
She put her hands up in innocence. "I meant no harm, just a precaution."
Caroline subtly rolled her eyes.
"I think mother is trying to say is what we've all been thinking since this little relationship began." Rebekah began.
"Rebekah don't." Elijah sighed.
"No, no 'Lijah it's about time we all stop beating around the bush as if any of us accept this sham of a marriage." She finished off her wine.
Klaus' face tensed. "You're drunk."
She laughed. "Actually, my dear brother, I've never been more in my right mind but can't say the same about you. And I think I speak for everyone when I say, you've made a huge mistake."
Caroline wanted to crawl into a hole and die.
"You impulsively got married during a drunken weekend to a girl who is two classes beneath who can barely afford this apartment."
"Rebekah..." Klaus growled.
"Open your bloody eyes, brother." Leaning towards against the table." Caroline could never fit into your world. I know you like to pretend with her. Pretend that you aren't one of us anymore but the minute you step back in, it's as if you never left."
She could feel Klaus's hand tightening around hers.
"That one time she came to the Hamptons with you, you barely remembered she was there. The riches, glamour and prissy attitudes, you now hate so much, will always be apart of who you are and she doesn't fit."
Caroline bit the inside of her cheek, begging herself not to breakdown.
"You know it as well as the rest of us do. This won't last. So do you and her a favor and stop wasting everyone's time." Rebekah concluded sitting back in her seat.
Klaus was speechless, then again so was Caroline.
The blonde tried suppressing her tears. Not wanting to let them know they finally broke her.
She knew Klaus's family didn't like her but they weren't even trying to hide it tonight. They were rude the moment they walked through the door.
No.
Caroline refused to have this for the rest of her life, feeling like pure garbage because a bunch of rich snobs didn't approve of her 'basic' upbringings. It wasn't fair.
Her love for Klaus was deep, deep enough to the point where she knew she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. But this, it just didn't seem worth it anymore and that alone made her heart shatter into pieces.
Klaus opened his mouth but was cut off by Caroline's shaking head.
"Caroline?" He questioned as she still didn't speak.
Her head still shaking and a small tear rested on her cheek.
"I can't. I can't keep doing this." She whispered to herself as she pushed her seat back, letting go of Klaus' hand as she stood to her feet.
All eyes were on her. Great.
Klaus reached for her again but she dodged his hand.
She straightened down her dress and sniffled. "Look, I don't have a vacation home in the Hamptons or live in a penthouse in the Upper East Side." She began. "I don't wear Jimmy Choos and Gucci or attend billionaire parties and eat 2 bowls worth of caviar a day."
"My life is normal, simple. I have student loans to pay off, work as an office assistant at a magazine, eat subway sandwiches for lunch and go to yoga classes every Saturday."
Elijah glanced at Klaus who was solely focused on Caroline.
Confused and concerned.
Caroline gulped. "I love Klaus, so much..." She briefly looking at her husband. "Words can't even describe and I've dealt with the verbal abuse all this time because of it. But I can't do this anymore. I will never be the woman you want me to be for him, I'll never be enough to you. I can't and I won't make him choose so, you win."
He gasped.
"Me and Klaus won't get married. Nothing will be made official, we'll be free from each other's lives for good. Makes it easy on everyone, okay?"
Klaus' face sank as he was instantly on his feet. "Caroline-"
"I'll clear the table. I hope the food was at least up to standard." She cut him off, picking up the meat plate and rushing towards the kitchen.
Caroline didn't have much time to digest what she just did for Klaus was already storming after her.
She heard him dismiss his mother who was calling after him.
His presence was felt behind her but she refused to turn towards him, not wanting him to witness her red tearful eyes.
"What the bloody hell was that?" Klaus spat, now in the kitchen talking to her back.
"Look at me, Caroline." He softly demanded.
She could hear the distress in his voice and it pained her to the core that she caused it. She was leaning over the sink, placing the tray of food on the side.
Turning around to him only broke her heart more. He was on the verge of tears, fist balled up and breathing quickened.
Caroline gulped. "One of us had to do it."
Klaus scoffed. "Sorry, I didn't exactly get the memo that this was something we wanted. That not being together was something we wanted." He choked out.
She nibbled on her trembling lip. "Klaus-"
"You are my wife, Caroline." He sternly said.
"It's not-"
"Bullocks!" He yelled, taking a huge step towards her. "We said vows, we signed papers and had witnesses, it is official no matter where it was held."
Caroline sighed wiping her eyes.
"We are together and just 30 minutes ago you were relishing in that fact, so don't play me for a fool as if this is something you actually want."
Everything he was saying was right, every bit.
His sadness and desperation collaborating to make the perfect hurt tune.
Caroline couldn't hold in the heavy tears that began to fall again. Drop after drop hitting her cheeks like rain.
"I tried, Klaus I did! I've been trying through our whole relationship but..." She trailed off. "I can't force your family to like me and I will never be right for you in their eyes. And I thought I could be with you and ignore them but that won't work, they're your family."
"You're my family too." He corrected, taking another step forward.
She shook her head. "They mean a lot to you, you love them and not having a big family myself I don't want you to lose that. And I would never want you to choose between me and them, I won't allow it. I rather us not be together than-"
"That is not an option." Klaus cut her off, now standing directly in front of her.
Caroline sighed. "I'm tired Klaus. I can't win with them, I can't even compete. We come from different worlds and that wasn't a problem at first-"
"And shouldn't be one now." Klaus's skin felt on fire.
He was hurt but also pissed at both Caroline and his family, the people he loved the most who couldn't get along.
They just discussed this not too long before his family arrived and now this?
Caroline ambushing him with a 'divorce' was number one on his list of worse things to ever happen.
No matter how much of a persistent front she was displaying, he wasn't letting her go without a fight. Like he promised her in their vows.
Staring in the glossy eyes of the woman he loved was burning a hole in his chest.
He roughly swallowed. "Caroline..." Grabbing her shaky hands in his. "Look at me, you are my wife. The love of my life, best friend and person I want to spend the rest of my life with. When I say I love you everyday, I mean it."
"Klaus stop..." She shook her head.
"No. If you want to end this then you need to know what you're ending."
Her lips shaking as she look up at him.
"I've never been in love with anyone until you, certainly never introduced a woman to my mother or siblings. You are the first of many things for me, Caroline." Klaus confessed.
Wow.
"What we have is real, we make each other better and happy. I told you my mother cannot dictate who I decide to spend my life with."
She chewed on her bottom lip.
One hand rose to caress her cheek. "Tell me you don't love me, that I don't make you happy and you regret everything we have. If you can look me in the eyes and tell me those things, I'll let you go." He sadly declared.
The pad of his thumb so soft against her cheek bone.
Just the thought of saying such blasphemy to him made her want to vomit.
She wasn't doing this because she wanted to.
Caroline's had relationships in the past but none even close to as intense as the one she shared with Klaus. Even though Klaus wasn't her first or second love, he was certainly her last and that's what counted the most.
Then she would think of the lifelong battle with his family which exhausted her mind. Feeling inferior whenever around them, but what Caroline knew was that she was insanely in love with this man.
"You know I can't say that..." She breathed.
Klaus softly grinned. "I know."
She rested her hand on his. "I love you so much, I do. But do you get where I'm coming from? I've been holding all this in because I know how much you love your family and how close you all are..."
He observed as she brushed her hair back with her fingers.
"Is this how every familial interaction is going to be for the rest of our lives? Every holiday, family dinner and birthday or when our kids have ballet recitals and football games, I'll have to worry about your sister shunning me for not having the latest Gucci bag?"
Klaus' eyes widened.
"I want your family to be apart of our lives but I refuse to be humiliated for not growing up into royalty." She sternly claimed.
Caroline almost forgot that Klaus' family was just on the other side of the door and were probably listening to everything. But she honestly didn't care, she needed to get this out and finally be honest with Klaus and herself.
"Kids?" Klaus whispered with a wide smile.
She scoffed. "That's really all you got out of that?"
Klaus chuckled.
Caroline couldn't resist laughing with him.
"I know we haven't talked about it much lately, then Henrik brought it up just now and...I don't know." She shook her head.
"I want to talk about it. Let's start talking about it." Klaus smiled.
The blonde bit her smiling lip. Her cheeks reddening. "Well, our son would totally have your dimples."
Klaus smiled. "And our daughter would be a piece of work but beautiful, just like her mum." Klaus joked , making Caroline playfully slap his chest as they both laughed.
Talking about having children together made Klaus' stomach flutter.
Imagining building his own family with Caroline and truly starting their lives as one was the best outcome of the night.
The laughter began to fade and even she was grinning, Klaus could sense she still wasn't fully convinced.
"Hey..." Klaus whispered, tilting her chin up with his fingertip. His blue eyes met with her puffy ones in a sad gaze of hurt and confusion.
"I love you, Caroline Mikaelson. I vowed to be your life time partner and that's exactly what I intend to do. No one is going to stop us from being together. No one."
"Klaus-"
"I. love. you." He emphasized.
Repeating those three words each time lightened the pressure on his chest, recalling the days when he was scared to say them to her.
Caroline pressed her lips together, accepting the quick kiss he planted on her lips.
She missed his comforting kisses.
Leaning his forehead against hers. "Do you trust me?"
As if that was a question.
"Yes."
Pulling away, Klaus grabbed Caroline's hand and interlocked their fingers together. She wasn't sure what he was doing until he began walking out the kitchen and into the dining area.
Caroline's heart was rapidly beating, racing to exit her body as they were now confronting the group of snobs.
Kol and Henrik were sitting on the couch as Rebekah was still seated at the dining table, sipping on more wine, while Elijah stood tall next to Esther who was sitting in the chair across from the two youngest.
From this perspective, they almost looked normal.
They all stared at the pair, Caroline just as anxious to what Klaus' next move was going to be.
"Caroline is my wife. She is apart of this family now." He blurted, squeezing her hand.
Rebekah set her glass down on the table while everyone else stared.
"And with that said, she will be treated as such. I will not allow her to be disrespected by any of you."
"Niklaus-"
"Let me finish." He hissed.
Esther sat back in her chair.
"She is my wife, the future mother of my children and a permanent factor in my life. What Caroline has or doesn't have is of no concern to me so it shouldn't be to any of you."
Caroline tried to suppress the proud expression threatening to show.
"I should lent have let it get this far, to the point where she almost left. That was my mistake and I assure you, I won't make it again."
The Mikaelsons still appeared puzzled.
"She stays, and if you want me to still be apart of your lives then you will have to accept that Caroline is apart of that now."
"What are you saying, brother?" Elijah questioned.
Klaus gulped. "What I'm saying is, if you cannot treat Caroline with the respect she deserves then you can say goodbye to me as well."
Rebekah's face flushed as Esther's breath hitched. Kol shot Klaus an impressed expression while Henrik appeared confused and Elijah shocked.
It was almost amusing to see all their different reactions but she was conflicted. She didn't think Klaus was going to threaten to distance himself from his whole family.
The main thing Caroline wanted to avoid was putting Klaus in the situation of choosing between then and now it seemed that was happening.
She lightly pulled on his arm to grab his attention. "Klaus..."
"Trust me." He whispered.
Rebekah scoffed, now standing. "You're not serious, Nik. You're honestly abandoning your family, the people who have always been there for you, for someone you've only known a year?"
Klaus huffed. "This isn't about abandonment and you know it." He pointed at his sister. ""You've been ill towards Caroline since I introduced you and from here on out, you will treat her with respect."
The blonde huffed.
"Now, I would love sharing this part of my life with you all but, not at the expense of Caroline's discomfort. She wants you to be apart of our lives but you refuse to let her in because she didn't grow up in the world we did. If anything that's one of her best qualities."
Caroline grinned.
"That doesn't make her unqualified, it makes her, her. And she's the most caring, humble and selfless person I've ever met. Can't say I can that about anyone you've introduced me to, mother."
The grin appeared on Caroline's face, despite her best efforts, on the verge of tears.
Klaus speaking so proudly of her and defending her against his family was as admirable as it was sexy.
This wasn't how she imagined the evening to unfold but she couldn't be happier that it did.
But Klaus was shocked himself. He had never stood up to his family like this, even when there were moments he desperately wanted to. He couldn't brush things with Caroline to the side, especially if it resulted in her leaving him.
He was sick of bending to his family wishes at the expense of his own happiness.
He loved her too much and valued their relationship to let her go without a fight.
Caroline squeezed his hand, giving him strength to finally finish.
"She is apart of my life now. I love her and we are together in everything and if you cannot find it in your hearts to accept that then if she goes, I go."
"Niklau-"
"It's done, mother." Klaus concluded, cutting Esther off which made her want to clutch her pearls harder.
Caroline shyly grinning, wanting nothing more than to reward him with the most passionate kiss she could muster.
The family stood still at Klaus's ultimatum, not even glancing at each other for a reaction.
Their mouths hung to the floor and eyes kept blinking as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing.
Klaus was pretty stunned himself.
He cleared his throat. "Now, if you'll excuse us but I will be taking my wife out for a dinner instead. You can let yourselves out."
Without giving them opportunity to respond, Klaus practically dragged Caroline out the front door.
Klaus deeply exhaled when they were outside. Door closed behind them. He managed to grab Caroline's purse that was hung over the coat rack near the front door and remembering his spare key was thankfully behind the front tire.
"I can't believe you did that." She breathed.
"I can't believe I did that." He agreed.
His brain catching up with all that he said. He's never spoken like that to his family, especially towards his mother and wasn't sure how he felt about it.
Caroline surprising him by pressing him against their SUV and capturing his lips with hers surely made him feel better.
Her body so close to his, there was zero space between them. Her fingertips brushing over his stubbled cheek and tip of her tongue teasing him.
Klaus' hands rested on her hips, not venturing any further.
She lightly nibbled on his bottom lip. Pecking it one last time before pulling away with a smile.
Klaus smiled back. "Not that I'm complaining but what was that for, love?"
Caroline shrugged, pressing her chest closer and palm still on his cheek. "Because I love you and I'm so happy you're my husband."
A weight, that he didn't even realize was on his chest, lifted with her response.
"Everything you said in there..."
"I meant all of it." He reassured.
"I know." She smiled. "No one has ever fought for me like that before or acted like they cared if I stayed or not. You stood up to your family for me..."
His heart sank. Wanting to end every person that has ever done her wrong.
The sparkle in her eye disguised by a faint tear that refused to drop. Her blonde curls shaping her pinkish face that matched her flushed skin.
She was so damn beautiful and didn't even realize it.
Klaus brushed a strand behind her ear. "And I'd do it again. I love my family but I'll always have them no matter what, but I couldn't bare losing you. There's only one Caroline Forbes."
"Caroline Mikaelson." She corrected with a smirk.
He effortlessly smiled down at his beautiful wife, crashing his lips against hers, pulling her close and reassuring her they were going to last forever.
