Waking up in strong, secure arms as the birds tweeted and chirped their melody left Caroline feeling amazing and loved. Sure, her and Klaus have shared the same bed before, but it never felt to intimate and perfect.
Smiling softly, she turned her head to the side to come face to face with Klaus' blue-green eyes. Seeing his lazy but loving smile, Caroline moved her face forward molding her lips against his.
Moving his hand to rest on her cheek while deepening the kiss, Klaus thought about how lucky he was. He got his girl in his arms and is allowed to kiss her whenever he wishes. He honestly believes he is still dreaming, but as a soft moan comes from his beloved he smiles, knowing no dream could compare to the tenderness and love that filled their kiss.
Pulling away, but leaving her forehead to rest against his, Caroline whispers "Good morning."
"And what a good morning it is sweetheart." Klaus replies giving her another passionate kiss. "I could get used to this." he mutters, moving his lips along her jaw and down her neck, making her giggle as he tickled her with is stubble.
"Definitely." She breathes, combing her fingers through his soft curls.
"Who used all the bloody milk!" They heard Rebekah's voice shout from downstairs.
"Kol." Came Henrik's simple reply. Hearing the sound of something heavy being thrown, a door slam and Kol's mocking laughter, Klaus and Caroline sighed as they pulled away from each other, both annoyed but a little grateful that they couldn't continue.
"I guess we better go downstairs before somebody dies." Klaus said sarcastically.
"Wouldn't be a normal day without it." She teased.
After Klaus put on a plain black t-shirt and Caroline her white fluffy dressing-gown, Klaus gingerly placed Caroline on his back, then made his way downstairs.
"I don't understand why we didn't just use one of the guest rooms on the bottom floor." Caroline commented.
"I honestly forgot about them." Klaus chuckled.
"Do you two mind, mother is still sleeping." They heard Elijah say - the tone of his voice hinting he was getting annoyed.
"Uh oh." Caroline whispered, knowing what will end up happening.
"'Lijah!" Rebekah complained. "He used all the milk, and everyone knows that I need my morning warm milk and honey."
"Oh hush strumpet. You do realize that there are more people in the house than usual, and not just me right?" Kol said getting irritated. "And don't you think 'need' is a little bit of an exaggeration?"
Just as Caroline and Klaus sauntered into the kitchen, Rebekah poured a bucket full of ice-cold water over Kol's head.
The feeling of unwelcome, frost-bitten liquid travelling down his spine and chest made Kol shiver and gasp.
"Drink up Kol, you're wasting water." Rebekah smirked.
Everyone in the room stilled, awaiting Kol's reaction.
Before you could realize what was happening, tomato ketchup was covering Rebekah's face and chest. After three seconds of shocked silence, a full-out childish food fight broke out.
Ester came downstairs ready to scold her children and house guests for waking her up because of their noise, but as she entered the kitchen an egg or two and some flour slapped her right in the face.
To say Ester was angry was an understatement.
Her face went bright red in fury and her fists were clenched so tightly by her sides, that she has the shape of her nails dented into her palm. And if you looked close enough, you would swear that you could see steam coming from her ears.
"What on earth is going on!?" She bellowed, "And what have you done to my kitchen!"
Everyone in the room glanced at one another, not sure what to say. After a few seconds of thinking, they all, at the same time, rushed out...
'Bekah wanted her usual warm honey and milk, but there wasn't any milk left as Kol used it all so...'
'Me and Caroline just came in, and Kol and Bekah were arguing as always, then...'
'It wasn't me, I just came in with Klaus, then joined as food was being thrown my way and...'
'Bekah started it, she was being bratty again, you know what she's like...'
'Kol was being an arse, he used all the milk, then covered me in tomato ketchup, and after that...'
'I just joined the food fight, but Bekah and Kol started it 'cause...'
'It was over milk, then food got involved, as did everyone else...'
'I don't know what happened, just that food was thrown in my face...'
'Kol was teasing Bekah, then thing got out of control..'
'All I know is that I was eating, then everything went quiet, then I wasn't eating anymore...'
'It was a misunderstanding that got way out of control...'
'It was something about milk, then food was in the air...'
"ENOUGH!" Ester roared. "You lot have twenty minutes to clean up this mess, then you can go out and replace all the food you've wasted." Turning round to go back upstairs to shower, she called over her shoulder, "And don't forget the milk."
A silence pregnant with embarrassment filled the room.
"Well at least your mom has a sense of humor," Katherine commented, breaking the silence. After receiving weird looks, she added, "What? You guys heard the woman, 'don't forget the milk.'"
"Just shut up." Elena muttered, rolling her eyes at her embarrassing twin.
"Sorry 'Lena, got something to say?" Katherine shot back sarcastically.
"Would you two stop it. You haven't seen each other for what? Four, five years? Can't you at least try to be civil?" Caroline cried. "Now lets just tidy up this mess."
It took around forty minutes for them all the clean the kitchen spotless and there were a couple of arguments and long silences in between.
They had all came to an agreement to cook nice dinner for Ester as their apologies.
Splitting up into group that consists;
Kol, Bonnie and Elena. - Much to Kols protest.
Stefan and Rebekah
Damon and Rose.
Elijah and Katherine. - As Elijah isn't talking to Elena yet.
Klaus and Caroline.
Everyone went off in their groups to different stores, for different types of food, but Klaus and Caroline stayed behind to set up the dining room.
"I'm just going to get those plates mother loves." Klaus told Caroline as he strolled out of the room.
"I'll get her favorite candles." She called back.
Wheeling over to the cabinet where the candles are stored, Caroline realized the shelf was a little to high. Not wanting to ask for help, she put the break of her wheelchair on and leaned over, trying to reach the candles.
Almost there. She told herself.
Not quite reaching it, she pushed herself a little further, only to end up crashing down to the floor with a loud thud.
As she moaned softly in pain, Klaus suddenly burst through the door and was gently helping her up, throwing questions at her about her being alright and scolding her for not calling him for help.
"I didn't need your help Klaus," Caroline snapped. "The shelf was just a little too high."
"You shouldn't be stretching Caroline, the doctor told you to stay in your chair 'cause of the nasty bruise on your lower back." Klaus said softly, not wanting her to be in any more pain.
"I wasn't stretching, and I'm perfectly fine!"
"Caroline-"
"No just... I'm going to bed."
Caroline rolled out the room as silence tears sprinted from her eyes.
She hates being dependent on others, she hates asking for help, but she also hates snapping at Klaus. It's like she just realized she was in a wheelchair. Although it wasn't permanent, she's still not liking lack of independence. Feeling dejected, she managed to throw herself on the bed, where she buried her head in the pillows muffling her sobs. She doesn't want Klaus to see her like this, all weak and helpless.
Klaus understands Caroline's frustration as he knows how much her independence means to her. He just wishes he could do something that could make her feel better.
Unfortunately, he knows there is little he can do right now, so he'll wait until she was ready to talk to him. Sighing harshly at how complicated life can be, he drags his hand down his face before continuing with the dining room.
