Caroline rolls over from snuggling with Klaus and feels someone watching her. She's become accustom to the feeling living the life she leads but she doesn't like it when she's asleep and a little bit hungover from last night. She cracks an eye open and sees two five year olds looking at her a blonde and a brunette. " Hi."

Caroline squints at the five year olds "Hello."

" Are you a princess?"

" I'm an heiress." She points to Klaus asleep next to her " He's a prince. Princesses are down the hall go wake them up."

"What's an heiress?"

"Why isn't he wearing his crown?"

Caroline stretches in bed still keeping the covers over her naked body. " Too many questions this early in the morning. I'll answer your questions if you give me that shirt and those shorts."

The twin girls nod and go and pick up the items Caroline pointed to. " Thank you."

Caroline manages to get the shirt on with out them seeing anything. She nudges Klaus in the side " Nik put this on."

Klaus still asleep mumbles " Usually you ask me to take something off not put on."

" Wake up and put this on we have company."

Klaus still has his eyes closed " Tell Tyler he's fired for being a creep."

Caroline smiles down at him she's glad she isn't the only one who thinks Tyler is a creep " No it's not Tyler wake up and look on my side of the bed."

Klaus opens his eyes and looks over at the two five year olds " Those are kids."

Caroline caress his face " It's a good thing your pretty."

Klaus glances up at her and she pecks him on the lips and hands him his boxers. " These kids have questions for us."

" This early in the morning."

" I know that's what I said."

" So what do they want to know."

"Why you are not wearing your crown and what's an heiress."

Klaus looks over at the twins again with sleepy eyes " It's too pointy to sleep in."

Caroline doesn't really know how to explain what an heiress is to them "My parents work with diamonds and when they leave this world I get their money and business well my brothers and I do."

" Do you have a crown?"

Klaus stretches in bed " Yes it's with the other Crown Jewels we only bring them out on special occasions."

" Is he your Prince Charming?"

Caroline looks over at the equally hungover shirtless prince " I guess so yeah."

The twins satisfied with their answers go to leave when Caroline leans up on her elbows " What are your names?"

" Lizzie and Josie."

They go past the table and see bottles of alcohol from last night " Is that soda?"

Both Caroline and Klaus jump out of the bed " Stop, that's poison the evil aunt who is trying to steal the kingdom sent it don't touch."

Both blondes sit on the couch still tired " Are you sure your a prince?"

" Yeah I'm pretty sure. Why?"

" You don't look like a prince."

Klaus looks over at Caroline with the same expression i am so done with these kids. " Ok... That's it come with me Josie and Lizzie in the palace."

Both blondes lead them out of the room a couple minutes later they find Tyler " We found these in our room. What part of security detail don't let anyone in didn't make any sense."

" What am I supposed to do with them?"

Klaus has his arm around Caroline's shoulders her head is on his shoulder they were out last night at a club with the others and didn't get in till late. " That's not our problem your the security try asking Alaric."

As they are walking back to their room Esther, Alaric and Ayana come out of the Queen and kings wing. " I see your not getting dressed today."

Caroline looks down she's just wearing one of Klaus shirts and Klaus is in his boxers. " We are but we were awoken by two five years olds who found there way into our room. And kept asking us questions."

" Your highness where are my children?"

" We left them with Mr. Lockwood who I am firing for being a terrible bodyguard. Plus he keeps staring at Caroline's breasts."

Esther looking up from her day planner Anya is holding " Niklaus you can't keep firing bodyguards. Your going to have to put up with him he's not hurting anyone."

" Mother he pulled a gun on Caroline."

" I will talk with him. And you and Caroline have that interview at 3 to properly announce your relationship."

Klaus groans he doesn't like talking to the press that's more Rebekah's thing. " Why do we have to do the interview we already told the nation we are dating. That's what the garden party was for."

Esther sighs and rubs her temple " Niklaus for the last time the garden party was for the people to meet us, shake our hand, and for us to mingle. I am still getting calls everyday a week later about what each of you did at the garden party. You made a fool of yourself and Caroline for your little performance last week."

After his mother leaves Klaus turns to Caroline " What do you want to do my love. Go back to bed, sex in the throne room, have a little vacation of our own, or go prepare hours before a interview neither of us want to do."

Caroline smiles up at him and kisses him and she wraps her legs around his waist and he begins walking to the throne room.

An hour later as they are coming out of the throne room with missed up hair Katherine comes around the corner " Oh honey don't you know sex in the throne room is so last week."

Caroline laughs and turns to her best friend "Meaning last week you and Elijah were in there."

"Right before I heard you were here. It's one of his favorite spots."

" I knew something was up when I saw you last week your hair was messed up You would never think that Elijah likes to get down in the throne room he's always so proper and gentlemanly."

Katherine smiles at her best friend " Yeah my Elijah is kinky which is why we work so well together. Also I want you to be my maid of honor."

Caroline squeals and throws her arms around Katherine's neck " OF course, I'm so excited."

They return to their room and the room is spotless "I see mother sent the housekeepers to clean the place up. I'm surprised she didn't lay out the clothes she wants us to wear for this ridiculous interview on the bed."

Caroline laughs and pulls him towards the bathroom.

Two hours later:

Klaus and Caroline both showered and changed for the interview both of them don't want to do. Esther arranged for the interview to be in their bedroom on the couch.

For the interview Caroline choose a white sleeveless dress with a black beaded neckline that stops mid thigh and her thigh high boots there is a little gap between dress and boots. Klaus is just in black jeans and a dress shirt.

"Your highness it is a pleasure. Thank you for inviting me to the palace and sitting down with me."

Both Klaus and Caroline nod. "How long have you and Caroline been a couple?"

Klaus and Caroline are holding hands looking very civilized and proper looking very Royal, Caroline has her legs crossed at the ankles. " We have been together for five years."

"With both of you leading very public lives how did you manage to keep this a secret for this long."

Klaus and Caroline both look at each other before Klaus answers. " Being a prince and and an heiress you get a certain reputation that we are out of control, like to party a lot but when you would take pictures of us in the clubs dancing with each other it wasn't just because it was Tuesday and we were bored so we decided to go out. Whenever you took pictures of us we were on dates."

"Caroline you have two older brothers how do they feel about you dating England's most popular playboy?"

Caroline smiles at Klaus they came up with cover stories to hide their relationship from the public Klaus's was he was England's most popular playboy, hers was she was a ditzy partying heiress. " They are fine with it. Klaus, myself, my brothers, his siblings all grew up together. So when we started dating he was already accepted by my brothers."

"So after being together for five years is there wedding bells in the future? Caroline are you ready to become a princess?"

Caroline and Klaus share a look they've have never talked about marriage. " I'll let Klaus answer the first question but as for the second question if he asked me yes I would be ready to become a princess and if I had any questions I would ask Rebekah and Freya who I love like sisters."

Klaus looks down at their hands " Maybe some time in the future but right now we are just happy being together plus I don't want to take the spotlight away from my older brother and Katerina's upcoming nuptials."

"While we are on the topic of the upcoming nuptials of Prince Elijah and soon to be princess Katerina do you each have a role or are you guests."

Caroline smiles she is so happy for her best friend she couldn't be more proud of her. Katherine has been her best friend for as long as she can remember before her parents moved their children to the palace (Caroline's parents were friends with Mikael and Esther) Katherine was her next door neighbor. Katherine lived in the estate next to theirs and they would always play together. Then when Caroline and her brothers moved Katherine asked her parents if she could visit Caroline at the palace Katherine would visit three times a week and become friends with all the Mikaelsons.

" I'm the maid of honor"

"Best man."

"That was all the questions I had thank you for sitting down with me. I know you both are busy."

Caroline and Klaus nod and the reporter let's herself out.

Klaus leans his head back against the couch and Caroline lays her head on his shoulder " That went well even though we both hated it."

"I hate reporters."

Caroline looks up at him "What do you want to do Nik? Have a little vacation of our own, go tell your mom that the interview is done and that it went well and we didn't start a crisis, hangout with the others?"

" All I want to do is this."

Klaus leans down and passionately kisses her.
