Three months later

The Salvatore boarding house was a little bit messy as they were turning it into a boarding school for magical children which was something they thought Stefan would want.

Caroline was in the middle of sorting out books when she heard knocking on the she opened the door, she was really surprised as there he was, no one other than Klaus himself, her special friend.

"Hi, my love"

"Klaus!" and she jumped to hug him tightly

When she broke the hug, she asked, "What are you doing here? I thought you were on the other side of the planet?"

"I was, but now I'm here, I will tell you everything, but first can I come in?"

"Yes, yes of course, come in. OMG, where are my manners…" At that they both laughed.

Caroline let Klaus in, who sat on the sofa, and Caroline offered him something to drink.

"Whiskey please"

"Ok, coming right up"

After she gave him a glass with whiskey, she asked: "So what happened? What brings you here?"

"You are." He simply answered.

Caroline could feel her face turning red when she started to say: "Klaus, I-"

"It's ok, love, you don't have to explain. I know all about your love for Stefan. I actually heard about his passing a few days ago when I was in Indonesia. Then I just had to see if you were ok. I came as soon as I could."

"I'm ok," she answered with a fragile voice, about to burst into tears.

"I can see that you are not," and he stood up to hug her.

"You can talk to me about anything you want. You can talk about him with me," he offered sincerely

"Thanks, it's just that everybody has moved on, even Damon who doesn't want to talk about his brother anymore. Same with Elena. Bonnie is somewhere in Europe and both she and Alaric don't want to talk about him at all, for obvious reasons."

"Well, you can talk to me, love" and broke the hug, looked at her with that look he had always looked at her then he went to kiss her on the mouth.

They kissed, Caroline kissed him back when suddenly Alaric's voice broke them apart.

"What the hell is going on? What is HE doing here?"

Three years after Stefan's death.

Caroline and Klaus were happy together, they were finally engaged. Although her friends and family had many objections, they had finally come to terms with the seemingly unavoidable event -Caroline and Klaus were getting married. The wedding was suppose to happen the day after, an August time wedding.

"Good morning, sweetheart!" said Klaus to Caroline when she was beginning to wake up.

"Good morning!" said Caroline when he wrapped his hands around her and she nuzzled against him.

"So what to we have planned for today`?"

"I don't know about "we" but I have wedding preparations, picking up Bonnie from the airport etc. Why don't you hang with Damon."

"What? The bloke hates me!"

"He doesn't hate you anymore, he's just protective of me. He'll get over it"

"Get over it? Last night he said if I wanted to get on the airplane that bonnie was arriving today and fly far away"

Caroline laughed at that, planted a kiss on his lips and went to the bathroom to wash up and dress to get the girls ready. Their dad, Alaric had died suddenly, a heart attack, and Klaus was closest thing to a father figure they had. Definitely not what alaric had in mind for the twins but it was what it was. At least Damon and Elena still leaved with them in the boarding house so Alaric could be happy that his best friend was part of his daughters' lives.

When Caroline was ready, Klaus had already bolted out the door, so she went downstairs after seeing that the Lizzie's and Josie's room was also empty. And downstairs she bumped into Elena who had been out of state for three days.

"Elena, you are back! How are you? How is Jeremy?"

"I wasn't with Jeremy, Caroline."

"Then If you weren't with Jeremy, and you weren't here, where were you?" Caroline asked, stunned.

"I was with Stefan."

"You were at Stefan's grave for three days?" Caroline asked, obviously confused.

"No. Look, there are these three sister witches who needed doppelgangers' blood for their spell to fight their biggest enemy so far. So they summoned me…and Stefan."

"But…but Stefan has been dead for three years, did they summon his spirit?"

"No. Yes. At first, to ask his permission. But later…they made him flesh, a human. Look, I know it's a lot to take in-"

"There's nothing to take in. He's dead, nobody can bring him back as human being." Caroline brushed the truth away like it was nothing.

"These sisters, they can do that. Of course it's wasn't that simple that you just do a spell. There were ingredients and-"

"My god, you are serious…" and Caroline almost fainted so Elena brought her to a chair to sit on.

Warily, Caroline asked what happened to him after they had used him.

"He came to Mystic Falls with me"

"He's here? Where?" Caroline asked, not sure if she was ready for the answer.

"He's right outside, do you want me to invite him in?"

"Yes." Caroline said, warily.

Elena said that she would go to the grill so they could talk alone. Caroline stood up and turned so that she didn't face the door when she heard the sound of the voice she though she was never gonna hear again.

"Caroline?"
