Destiny- Caroline had been in love with Damon for a long time but he left her breaking her heart, Now she's given a second chance at the things she gave up when he left her. Sometimes Destiny is all that's needed..

KLAUS/CAROLINE/DAMON

Caroline opened the door to her small apartment to find Stefan and Elena sat on her couch watching the door,

"Hey, What's up you guys?" she asked looking at Elena's tear stained face and Stefan's sorrow filled expression.

"We went to the Doctors, They've told us we can't have children" Elena sobbed as Stefan wrapped his arm around her bringing her closer towards him.

"I am so sorry Elena" Caroline walked towards her best friend wrapping her arms around her as Stefan let go and walked from the room,

"I'll give you guys some space" he said as he walked out of the door.

Elena pulled away from Caroline wiping her eyes sadly "I can feel him pulling away, this is all my fault, I can't have children and now he hates me" she sobbed.

Caroline watched the distress of her best friend her own eyes filling with tears

"It's not your fault, it's nobody's fault Elena sometimes it's just not time" Elena nodded sadly

"I just don't want to loose him, We've been through so much together. I just feel like loosing the baby has taken it's toll on us and that's all we keep thinking about" Caroline stroked her friends cheek trying to let a smile show,

"Stefan love's you Elena, He's loved you since we were all in diapers, I can't see you loosing him anytime soon. He isn't Damon" she said the last part more to herself.

She and Damon drifted apart once he left her for college. She'd spent two years after his departure trying to save their failed relationship until he brought home his college girlfriend Andie Star.

Caroline envied her because she had everything Caroline once had.

"I'm sorry, this must be bringing up bad memories for you" Elena said looking at Caroline sadly

"It's okay. Damon and I would never have worked out I think I made the right choice back then, I was young and I wasn't ready for that responsibility but if I could get it all back and give it too you guys I would" Elena hugged her.

"I love you so much Care and I know you'd have done anything for us" Caroline nodded remembering the pain and agony she'd once gone through for the sake of love.

Flashback

Caroline paced the hospital halls for over an hour waiting for the pain to subside

"Arrgg" she yelled allowed as another pain shot through her stomach tightening it.

"I can't do this" she sobbed as Elena rubbed her back soothingly

"Come on Care, we are here for you. We'll be right by your side through It all"

Caroline nodded wiping the tears from her cheeks as her eyes caught Bonnie's "Just breath" she said holding onto Caroline's shoulders gently rubbing them as she kept breathing through her contractions.

"Just think at the end of this you'll have a adorable bundle of joy" Elena giggled gleefully,

Caroline sighed "Yeah" she wasn't interested, she wasn't ready for this. She didn't want a baby at 17 years old, she wanted college and marriage first but for the first time in her life she was without Damon Salvatore beside her.

He was in college missing out on one of the most important moments in his life.

As the time progressed so did Caroline's contractions, easing herself onto the bed that occupied the room she'd been given she took both Elena and Bonnie's hands as she welcomed her son into the world.

"He's beautiful Care, look at him. He has Damon's eyes" Elena and Bonnie cooed over the tiny human that was a part of her and Damon but all she could do was cry because through it all she'd lost the one person that she wanted the most.

That evening Caroline had asked the midwifes to take her son and place him in the nursery because she didn't want to look at him and feel the sudden urge to be his mother because she'd planned it from the moment those pink lines stared back at her, This child deserved so much more than she was willing to give it.

The following morning Caroline was awoken by her two best friends sobbing and shouting at her "Don't do it please Care, This isn't the only way" Caroline saw the woman walk towards her with her paperwork in her arms.

"Caroline Forbes. I'm Aimee Bradley from Right Home Adoption Services. I need you to sign these consent forms so that we have the rights to take the child from the hospital." Caroline nodded as Aimee handed her the folder of paperwork and a pen.

Elena watched Caroline pleading with her eyes to change her mind "Please Care. Think about this"

Caroline turned to her best friend angrily "What do you think I've been doing for the past nine months. I have thought of nothing else, Damon is in college I'm still in high school. I don't want to be a teen mom Elena. I want to give him the choices I never had, My life has been mapped out for me since I was born he deserves better than that"

Caroline signed the final piece of paper handing it back to Aimee "Please promise me one thing" she said looking at her "Make sure he's loved everyday and told that he is special" Aimee nodded politely,

"Thank you Miss Forbes and I assure you our agency will find him a family that will love him" Caroline watched at she walked away before letting her tears fall from her eyes.

End flash back

Soon after Elena left to meet up with Stefan, Caroline was left in her own memories of herself and Damon, They'd been in love once before he went of to college and became a jerk. That was when she met Tyler Lockwood, He helped her forget the pain of losing her child to another family and her heartbreak over Damon.

Tyler was wild and let her have fun without restrictions; her parent's were set against them but soon enough come to learn that he made her happier much to Damon's distaste. It didn't last long once Tyler discovered that Damon Salvatore was her ex boyfriend because apparently you don't mess with Damon Salvatore much to her annoyance.

Caroline was sat on the couch in her small apartment when the hone rang startling her, jolting up from her seat she grabbed the phone from her wall "Hello" she asked politely

"Am I speaking with Miss Forbes?" the person questioned.

"Yes this is she" she answered nervously something seemed different to formal for it to be somebody calling her regarding work.

"I have some terrible news regarding the adoption of your child three years ago" Caroline's breath hitched in her throat as she tried to regain herself

"I'm sorry, what has happened?" she shot out in a panic.

"The adoptive parent's had recently been involved in a car accident resulting in their deaths; They had no relatives willing to take on the child in result of their deaths. They all seem to have high profiling jobs and a child of his age would complicate their work life" Caroline shock her head angrily.

"Please get to the point?" The women spoke softly this time,

"A Mr Niklaus Mikaelson is the father's younger brother who has offered to bring you the child"

Caroline's mouth opened "Excuse me?" The women's voice softened as she tried to reason with her desperately.

"You are all this child has, We cannot place the child back into the system once it's been adopted resulting in automatic transfer back to their biological parents." Caroline dropped the phone in shock, she had nothing ready for a young child.

Caroline was sat at the Grill her eyes fixed on the clock above the bar waiting for her son to arrive, it had been three long years but now she was being given a second chance to be a mother to her son and not abandon him when he needs her.

The sound of somebody clearing their throat caused Caroline to turn in her seat spotting the curly haired blond "Niklaus Mikaelson but people call me Klaus" he said politely as he lifted up his free hand for her to shake.

"Caroline Forbes" she replied before letting go of his hands and letting her ocean blue eyes fall on the small figure lying against his shoulder,

"He's had a long journey; I think he just needs to sleep" Caroline nodded gesturing towards the empty seat in front of her. Klaus laid the boy across the seat before taking the seat beside him and raising his hand for the waiter.

"What's his name?" Caroline asked curiously leaning over the table to take a peak at the young child sucking his thumb peacefully.

Klaus's tired eyes looked at his nephew smiling lightly "Henrik Finn Mikaelson. He was named after our younger brother Henrik who'd died from Leukemia when he was eleven years old and his adopted father Finn" Caroline nodded as she noticed the sadness in his eyes

"I'm very sorry about your brother" She said politely as Matt walked towards them with a notebook and his apron wrapped around his waist.

"Care, What can I get you?" He asked quickly glimpsing in Klaus's direction.

"I'll just an orange juice and a fries please" She rose her hand gesturing to Klaus to order "I'll have a glass of bourbon, Orange juice and a ham sandwich please" Matt nodded as he quickly jotted down the order,

"I'll be right back with your drinks.."

He began to turn away when he remembered something "Care, I forgot to mention Damon Salvatore is back in town. He came back last night apparently wanted to surprise the family with his big announcement.." Matt wanted to continue but Caroline held up her hand shaking her head

"Honestly Matt. Damon can go drown in a pool of his own blood for all I care" Matt nodded edging away quickly to fetch their drinks.

"Ex boyfriend?" Klaus questioned, Caroline averted her gaze to her young son in front of her "Yes, His biological father"

Klaus nodded "Oh right"

The following weeks Caroline met with Henrik and Klaus regularly edging Henrik into the situation at hand because he'd still be waking in the night calling for his parents, Klaus had begun to bond with Caroline over her love for art and organizing function for charity events or weddings.

Klaus and Caroline sat in the local park watching Henrik as he played on the swing set with his new found older friend Jeremy Gilbert, He'd recognized the young boy as Caroline's son and promised to keep it from his sisters and his girlfriend.

"So you going to tell his father about him?" Klaus asked as he watched his nephew giggling for the first time in the past few weeks.

"I will if the question arises. Why does it matter to you?" She asked watching him cautiously

"He deserves to know, It's not fair to him or Henrik if you deny them the truth" That's when Caroline caught sight of the raven haired annoying man watching her from the hill behind Klaus.

"Excuse me for a moment" She said quickly standing up to walk towards him.

"What are you doing stalking me?" she questioned when she reached him hands in his pockets watching her

"Who's the guy?" Caroline let out a humorless laugh

"Wow. Damon come to scare of yet another man that even attempts to get close to me? Could you be any more selfish"

Damon walked towards her leaning over her "I just want to make sure he's treating you right" Caroline sighed throwing her hands in the air glaring at him

"You're a fine one to talk Damon Salvatore male gigolo. How many women have you added to your bed post since me hey? I've met six so far. I am happy on my own, Klaus is just a friend that is supporting me" Damon nodded

"If that's your story. Keep dreaming Barbie we all know your reputation around here. Give your heart too quick then they all start running" Caroline's mouth gaped open as she listened to the words that came from his mouth

"Is that what you did? Take off running?" Damon shock his head trying to pull at her arms as she edged away from him

"No. Caroline I didn't mean it like that" her eyes filled with tears as she turned back to look at him.

"I'm glad you left because you've just made me realize that I've always been better off without you"

She eyed the park noticing Klaus lifting the raven haired boy in his arms leading out the gates with Jeremy beside him, it took everything in her to run to him realizing that Klaus hadn't just come into her life as the uncle to her son but to heal her heart.

Two years later

Caroline was stood in the large ball room placing her hands on her hips "It looks wonderful Love"

Caroline felt the arm wrap around her waist letting her fall against his chest "You really think so? I hope he enjoys himself"

Klaus kissed her forehead smiling "It's a dinosaur themed party you know how much he loves dinosaurs" Caroline let out a low chuckle "Yes thanks to Kol and his obsession with the Jurassic park movies"

Klaus twisted Caroline around to face him "Is Damon back today or is he coming tomorrow?" he asked as his eyes caught hers.

"He's meant to be back from Chicago this morning, Stefan said he'd call when he got back, He's got Henrik with him and Elena so I could get the house decorated" Klaus nodded as he leaned down to kiss her lips.

As their lips came together the door bell rang "I am going to kill whoever that is" he growled as Caroline walked around him and through the house.

Opening the front door Caroline came face to face with Damon and his wife Rose,

"Damon, I thought you where going straight to the boarding house first?" Caroline questioned as she opened the door wider to let them pass her.

"I was but I wanted to drop juniors present off" Caroline laughed at his acknowledgment of his son, He'd never quite got the grasp of calling him Henrik so he called him Junior instead because he said he should have been named Damon.

"Well what is it exactly?" Caroline questioned as she noticed the overly large box being unloaded from a truck

"It's a surprise, I can't have you spoiling it for him can I?" he said grinning at her, Caroline shock her head watching Klaus enter the hall

"What on earth?" he questioned pointing towards the box.

"You are going to love it" Damon said as he guided Rose's hand out the door "I'm gonna go see Junior. I'll bring him at half 2 yeah?" Caroline just nodded as she stood stunned by the box taking up her hall space.

The party was in full swing when Damon called out present time for the birthday boy, Klaus was sometimes annoyed at the times when Damon took charge in his house when it came to Henrik, He had watched the young boy grow from a newborn baby onward because he'd once lived close to Sage and Finn when they lived in England.

Caroline knew how Klaus felt when she caught the hatred and hurt in his eyes; grasping his hand in her own she smiled up at him as he looked at her

"Let him have his Daddy moment, We get to see him everyday. Damon misses out on all of this" She said softly pulling at his arm to lay her head against his chest "I know love."

Damon called out Stefan and Jeremy who slide the large box into the room causing Henrik's eyes to almost pop out of his sockets.

"I just want to say I am so proud of my boy and the young man he's becoming and I want to thank Caroline for giving me this amazing gift and allowing him to call me his dad. So Junior this is for you" Henrik walked towards the box opening it quickly to reveal what was inside

"Wow. Dad. This is cool. Look Mom I've got my own dinosaur" Caroline and Klaus looked at each other as the walked towards the box peering inside to find a robotic Stegosaurus

"You brought him a dinosaur?" Caroline glared at Damon.

He grinned widely "Yeah, He said over the phone all he wanted for his birthday was dinosaurs so I did one better and got him his own mechanical one made" without warning Henrik wrapped his arms around his dad "This is the coolest birthday ever"

That night once Caroline settled Henrik into bed she walked into her room to find Klaus sat against the head board sketching

"Don't be angry with Damon, He just wanted to make Henrik happy" Klaus sighed dropping the pad beside him

"I just feel like I'm not good enough, Damon surprises him with a lot of cool stuff and I'm just the boring artist who buys dinosaur figures and takes him on museum visits" Caroline sat down beside him reaching for his cheek.

"He enjoyed that museum visit. He gets excited because Damon isn't here all the time and he gets surprises with him but he loves you too Klaus" Caroline watched the sadness in his green eyes causing her to tell him the news she was hoping to keep to herself until his birthday.

"You'll have your own son or even a daughter to spoil on their birthday soon" she smiled waiting for him to figure out what she was saying.

Klaus looked at her suspiciously until it all clicked into place, the sadness quickly disappeared from his eyes replacing it with joy

"You mean you're having a baby?" He questioned causing Caroline to shake her head. His smile fell slightly realizing he was hoping for to much,

"I mean we're having a baby, as in you and I" Klaus's felt the tears fall from his eyes as he pulled her closer towards him.

"I love you both and our boy" Caroline smiled letting her lips crash against his. In this moment she realized Finn and Sage had never meant to be her son's parents they were meant to bring Klaus to her; guide her to her real true love.
