Hope you like it. Just a cute little one shot.
Caroline walked back through the door of their mansion to the sound of her youngest son's laughter and her husband's grumbles. She'd just dropped Oliver off at his friends for the evening, and was looking forward to spending some quality time with her little boy, who unlike his teenage brother enjoyed spending time with his parents.
She can't keep the smirk off her face when she walks in to the large living room and finds her son has put on his favourite movie yet again. Ever since Frozen had come out, he had become obsessed with it, much to the dismay of his father and older brother.
She comes up behind them on the couch and kisses Klaus on the cheek. He turns and smirks when he sees her grinning at him.
"Love, you're just in time to choose a different movie to watch," Klaus states, emphasising the word different as he narrows his eyes on their son who pouts, but doesn't take his eyes off the screen.
"Mommy, I want to watch Frozen." The 5 year old complains, hugging the DVD case to his chest. Caroline moves round and takes the seat the other side of her son, and sends her husband a look.
Klaus shakes his head. "No. Don't look at me like that, Caroline. There is no way I'm sitting through that movie one more time."
Caroline sighs and shoots him a glare. "Sorry baby, you're going to have to choose something different. What about Tangled? Or Peter Pan?" She asks the little boy, knowing they were also favourites of his. Secretly thanking her husband for not giving in, because if she was honest, even she had gotten tired of the movie.
"No fair," Toby mumbles, crossing his arms across his chest and frowning.
Klaus snakes out an arm to wrap around his son's waist and pull him on to his lap. He narrows his eyes on the little boy sitting on him, it was like looking at himself as a child. "How we get some popcorn and then we'll watch a vampire movie?" Klaus asks with a grin. His son lost his frown quickly and replaced it with a wide smile.
Caroline looked over at her husband with a raised eyebrow. Klaus hated all vampire movies claiming they were terrible representations of what real vampires are like. Saying that, Toby loved them (well the ones he's allowed to watch), and Klaus would probably rather them than Frozen.
"Yes!" Toby shrieks, jumping off Klaus' lap. Caroline grabs his arm before he could leave the room. She looks down at him with a soft smile.
"I'll make some popcorn, you help Daddy choose the movie," She tells him, and he nods eagerly running back to Klaus and jumping on him. Klaus lets out a groan but repositions himself to hold his son properly.
Caroline walks into the kitchen, smiling as she hears Klaus try to steer their son away from an R rated vampire movie.
"What about this one?" Klaus asks holding up 'The Little Vampire' behind him as he continues digging through their vast DVD collection, which over the years of Oliver and now Toby has become like a library.
"This one!" Toby shouts. Klaus turns back to look at his son's choice and rolls his eyes when he finds the 5 year old is clutching 'Lost Boys'.
"What did I literally just say, Toby? Only ones that you've seen before. The others are too old for you." Klaus reminds him on a grumble.
"Uncle Kol let us watch it!" Toby counters, and Klaus' eyes darken.
"He bloody better not have." He mutters, grabbing another pre-approved DVD and holding it up for his son to look at. "What about this one?"
Toby shakes his head. "You're just scared because movie vampires are better than you,"
Klaus shifts on his feet to look at his son properly with narrowed eyes. "First of all, I'm a hybrid. Secondly, I am certainly not scared."
His son sticks his tongue out. "Don't worry, Daddy, I'm sure Mommy will hold your hand." Toby teases. Klaus eyes his son with a smirk. The little boy has definitely been spending too much time around his brother and his snarky comments.
"Oh, really?" Klaus asks, reaching out and pulling his son down to his lap.
Caroline walks back into the living room, carrying a bowl of popcorn and a small glass of apple juice for her son, to be welcomed by the sight of Klaus mercilessly tickling Toby.
"What is going on? Did you choose a DVD?" Caroline asks on a grin, as she places the bowel and drink on the table. She sits back on the couch and watches the scene in front of her.
Klaus grins at her, still tickling the little boy. "Well apparently Toby here thinks I'm scared of movie vampires, and apparently they're better than us." Her husband explains, yanking back their son when he tries to escape.
"Daddy! Stop!" Toby shrieks through laughter, writhing in his father's strong hold. After several moments Klaus lets up and allows his son to lean against his chest to catch his breath.
"That's why Daddy is scarier than movie vampires," Caroline jokes, smirking at her husband who winks. "So, have we chosen a DVD?"
Toby pulls out of Klaus' grip and holds up 'The Little Vampire' to Caroline who nods approvingly. Klaus takes it from him and puts it in the DVD player. He grabs his son on the way and walks back over to the couch, plonking down with Toby on his lap.
Toby watches the movie in awe, amusing both his parents. But as it goes on and the night gets later, they can both see he's edging towards sleep.
Caroline gets up and grabs the Batman blanket from the cupboard, she hands it to Klaus who gently places it over the little boy, who is curled up on his lap and chest.
"I don't really think movie vampires are better, you and Mommy are the best vampires," Toby mumbles sleepily into Klaus' chest.
Klaus strokes a hand through his son's thick curls. "You're our little vampire, Toby." He responds quietly. Caroline smiles at them. Her Hybrid and her little vampire.
