Epilogue

"Klaus, can you please help?!" Caroline tried not to snap at Klaus, but it was hard enough bathing a wiggling Ethan without him disappearing.

"I'm trying." He shot back. "You won't let me, besides he's splashing all over the place."

Caroline shrugged as she placed Ethan on the bed and started drying him off with a towel. "He likes taking baths, don't you Ethan."

Ethan blinked back with his big blue eyes.

"Klaus, can you pass me some clothes and a diaper-third drawer-no the other drawer."

"What is this?" Klaus hollered when he saw the t shirt and little sweatshirts that Caroline had bought and were inscribed with things like: Daddy's Little Man and #1 Son. "My son is not wearing that."

"Too bad," Caroline grabbed the clothes with a smile. "I'm still the only one changing his diapers so therefore I pick his clothes."

The picture of the Mikaelson-Pierce family was a weird one. Katherine was resting her head against Elijah's bicep. Seven month old Aurora was resting on his abs and her twin Serena was curled on his other arm fixated on pulling Elijah's ear.

The twins were no longer, itty bity babies and resembled their parents more than anything. Tight, chocolate brown curls were growing on their small heads and their eyes were adorably big and brown. They had Katherine's nose and lips and Elijah's cheekbones.

". . .And then the big bad wolf-"

"Ah mo, ee, ni." Aurora started cooing while Serena sprouted equal gibberish while now tugging on Elijah's hair.

"Girls, come on don't be like that I'm trying to tell you a story." Elijah frowned.

"I told you," Katherine rolled her eyes as she took the book away from him. "They are too small for storytelling, besides they are more interested in playing with the toilet paper."

Elijah sighed as he kissed Katherine's forehead and gave her shoulder a squeeze as he looked around at his three girls. "You're probably right."

"Come on, Ethan!" Caroline squealed at her ten month old son who was trying hard to stand on his feet, his little face red with concentration. "Come to Mommy! Klaus get the camera!"

"I've been filming for the past hour, love." Klaus said tiredly. "Maybe he needs a little-"

"Oh, look he's walking." Caroline squealed as Ethan started walking her way, his short little legs sort of stumbling as he walked with wobbly legs towards Caroline. "You did it." She put him on the floor and took the camera from Klaus. "Now walk towards Daddy."

Apparently liking the attention, Ethan started walking towards Klaus and Klaus picked him up, pride swelling inside his chest. "Good boy, Ethan."

"Dada, dada," Ethan replied.

"And stretch!" Katherine said as she bended down so that her three year of twins could copy her from their own yoga mats. The doors opened and Serena and Aurora stopped stretching.

"Daddy!"

"How are my girls?" Elijah kissed them both on their cheeks as he picked them up. "What are you doing?"

"Mommy is teaching us yoga," Aurora piped up.

"Yoga?"

Katherine shrugged. "It helps control stress."

Elijah laughed as he kissed her. "They are three, believe me I don't think they are that stressed."

The fall day was picture perfect it seemed. Caroline, now Mrs. Mikaelson couldn't believe that four years had passed since she had been pregnant with Ethan and two years since she had married Klaus. The gold ring still shone on her finger.

Four years had rapidly pass and now Ethan was starting preschool, he was tall for his age and long and thin like his father. He had curly blond hair and blue eyes and he reminded Caroline of a little angel even though he was the opposite half of the time.

"Ethan, do you have our cell phone numbers written down, and your lunchbox-"

"Caroline," Klaus interrupted laughing as he put a hand around his wife's waist. "It's preschool, not the military."

"Well, "Caroline flushed. "I don't want him to forget anything."

"I'll be ok, Mommy," Ethan said proudly. "I'm a big kid now."

Caroline smile, almost sadly. "You sure are."

"There's my brother, and Katherine." Klaus said as Caroline looked straight ahead as the couple were getting out of the car. Aurora and Serena seemed to be the exact replica of their parents with big brown eyes and chocolate curls.

Serena was stomping her foot impatiently while Aurora clutched her father's neck nervously, apparently more nervous than her sister about starting school. Caroline stifled a laugh as Katherine exited the car, she was eight months pregnant and this time expecting a boy and she seemed happier than in her first pregnancy.

All though she wasn't returning back to her studies she said that the twins and now the new baby were going to be keeping her busy. Elijah was still trying to convince her to marry him now that they were about to have three children and Katherine seemed to be warming up to the idea.

"Hi," Caroline said chirpily as Elijah put down Aurora as she and Ethan began comparing lunchboxes.

"Hey," Katherine said as she fanned her face. "I can't believe it's still so hot."

Klaus shrugged. "It's not really, though I guess carrying a baby really makes a difference."

Katherine rolled her eyes. "Ha, ha."

"Time sure flies." Elijah said almost sadly as he looked at the school.

"Yeah," Caroline agreed. "Well, I guess it's time to say goodbye." The parents and the kids exchanged goodbyes as they walked towards the building.

"Bye, Mommy, bye Daddy!" Serena called out, she had always been the loudest of the three. "Bye Aunt Caroline, by Uncle Klaus."

"We're going out for brunch," Elijah said hugging Katherine by the waist. "Would you like to join us?"

Caroline and Klaus exchanged looks. "We will love too, just give us a minute." Once Katherine and Elijah were out of an earshot she turned to him. "Do you think he will be ok?"

"If he's as determine as his mom, trust me he will be ok," Klaus gave his wife of two years a kiss. "I love you, Caroline."

Caroline murmured back. "I love you too."
