This is happening

It was a lot to take in, Caroline pregnant with his child, he is still not sure if he truly believes it. When the word left her mouth something in him shut off, the only thing he really heard after that was the beating heart of their child.

He knows that she was trying to explain how it all was possible, but that information just went right over his head, and since she is now sleeping, he will have to wait till morning to ask her to go through it again.

At least there's an explanation to why he has been hearing a baby's cries for some time now. When the sound once more fills his ears, he hopes that this is the last time he has this hallucination, or whatever he is supposed to call it.

Moving towards the room he wonders what he will see now, will it still be empty or is there something else he is meant to see.

Like the cabin, the room now looks like a nursery and knowing what he now knows it actually brings him some joy. If this is what the future has planned for him, he can imagine a worse fate.

He moves to the middle of the room where the crib is standing, touching the imaginary mobile of wolves running amongst full moons it all feels so real. He knows that none of this exists, but he wants it too.

"Do you have an answer to your question?" he looks towards the boy who is now standing on the opposite side of the crib. "Who am I?"

He smiles at the boy, looking at him now, he can see similarities between them, but he has his mothers' eyes. "You're my son." And he won't let anyone harm him.

The sun is barely lighting the room up when Caroline wakes. Like the last time, she finds Klaus bed incredibly comfortable and she wouldn't mind staying the day in it, well if she could get some company that is.

Having the time, she looks around the room that she only been in twice before and both those times she just wanted out. How things can change in such a short time, she thinks.

Not seeing Klaus, she wonders where he might have gone, and what he must be thinking. His reaction was nonexisting like he couldn't really take in what she was saying. She isn't sure if he even heard her.

She can only hope that he will accept what has happened sooner or later if he hasn't already. Even if she rather it was sooner she will let him take his time, rushing this seems like a recipe for disaster.

Whatever may happen now she would like to know where he disappeared to. She tries to listen after him but nothing, how she misses her heighten senses.

Instead, she tries something else, something new. She closes her eyes focusing on him to see if she can feel where he may be. When she starts to feel his presence in the room next door she smiles. Knowing where he is might come in handy, and maybe she can learn to locate others the same way.

When she has made her way to the room she is left surprised by what she sees when she opens the door. The walls appear newly painted with wolves running through a forest, guided by a single light.

Taken by the beauty of it, it takes her a while to notice Klaus that is sleeping against one of the walls. Maybe she doesn't have to worry if he already preparing a nursery because she can't imagine this to be anything else.

Carefully so to not startle him she kneels before him and lays a hand on his arm. "Klaus."

Slowly he starts to wake and when his eyes land on her he smiles. "Hello, luv." He moves his hand to lay on her cheek but stops himself when he sees the paint on his hand. "Guess I got more paint on me than I thought."

"What made you decide to paint a whole room?" she isn't complaining but at the same time, this wasn't something that had to be done now.

He shrugs and moves her to sit beside her. "I had this vision or something showing this room as a nursery and I just needed something to do." he explains to her, looking around at his work. "And painting usually helps take my mind off things."

She leans her head against his shoulder, feeling unusually calm and safe in his presence. "So, you are okay with this."

"No, I still want a lot more explained from Cyrena and a part of me is doubting if it's really happening, but I'm okay with a future that's involving you." It's better than him not wanting a child under any circumstances. "Do you want to know if it's a boy or a girl?"

The question catches her off guard. She hasn't thought about the gender at all and she would never have thought that Klaus would care. "Do you?" she asks to see where he truly stands on the matter.

Light laughter leaves him. "I'm asking because I know." Alright now she's officially confused, how the hell could he possibly know the gender of their child just hours after learning that they're having one.

The look on Caroline's face is priceless, she seems utterly confused and he finds something charming in it. It also feels nice to be able to surprise her, to know something about all of this that she doesn't.

When Caroline appears to have gathered her thoughts she grabs his hands. "What makes you think that you know the child's gender." There's a certain tone of concern in her voice.

He wants her to understand it, to believe in what he knows, but he understands if she doesn't just trust his word. "When I first found you in Cyrena's cabin, I was led there by a boy." Starting from the beginning seems like the best choice. "When I asked who he was he said I knew, and now after you told me about our child, he asked the question back if I knew who he was."

It takes a while for Caroline to react to his words, and during that time he studies every movement she makes. How she swallows, her eyes darting around the room like their looking for something that isn't there.

Lastly, she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. "You saw our son?" even as a question he can hear jealousy coming from her.

"Yes." That is the most likely explanation at least. "He has your eyes." He tells her.

She looks at him again and shakes her head. "How did we end up here?" she asks.

"I wish I knew luv." Coming back to the place where it all started, only to break his curse, but so much more followed.

Who could ever have thought that it would lead to this, to him Niklaus Mikaelson learning to love this wonderful woman that now is pregnant with his child, it shouldn't be possible.

No matter what's to come for them he will at least try to do right by Caroline and their child. "I need to get this paint of me." He says rising from the floor.

"Klaus?" Caroline calls after him when he is about to exit the room. "I'm also okay with it." He raises an eyebrow, waiting for her to elaborate. "I'm okay with a future involving you."

While she was talking, Caroline moved closer to him. He planned to tell her how he felt hearing does words, how it makes him more secure in what has happened to them.

Well, he planned but she never gives him the chance before she kisses him. When they separate, their eyes reflect in each other's. "You're sure about this?" he asks, wanting to know that this time it's truly their choice.

She nods, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I'm sure Klaus, this time it isn't a spell." She leans closer to kiss him once more. "I want us to do this right." She murmurs against his lips.

He responds to the kiss she gives him, wanting this probably as badly as she does. He wants it to be real, that she won't sneak out on him like the last time, and he truly believes she won't.
