I own nothing but the plot...

There was a loud knocking on the door. Caroline looked at the clock. It was only 7:00. Who in the hell would be knocking on their door this early?

"Make it stop!" Bonnie yelled from her room and Caroline could picture her friend putting her pillow over her face.

"It is probably Katherine, she is the only one crazy enough to be up this early," Caroline said getting up. Caroline rubbed her eyes and made her way to the door. She opened it and saw Tyler standing there. She hadn't seen him since the night she met Klaus.

"Tyler," Caroline said blinking the sleep out of her eyes, "What are you doing here?"

"Were you ever going to tell me?" Tyler said walking into the apartment.

"Tell you what?" Caroline said. It was way to early to deal with this.

"Um...the fact that you are pregnant?" Tyler said and that got Caroline awake.

"Who told you?" Caroline asked.

"A friend of mine from school asked if I was having a boy or a girl," Tyler said, "I didn't know what the hell he was talking about at first, but then it all made sense. You must be pregnant."

"I am pregnant," Caroline said, "But...but it isn't yours."

"What?" Tyler shouted, "You messed around on me! I might have broken up with you but I never cheated on you! How could you do that!" Caroline felt like crying, it was too early for this.

"Tyler, calm down," Caroline said putting her hands up, "I never cheated on you. I am only three months. We haven't had sex in four months."

"Oh," Tyler said relaxing, "Then whose is it?"

"That night at the bar, the man that bought me a drink? That was him," Caroline said, "I have no idea who he is, only a first name. I am doing it alone."

"Oh," Tyler said again, but Caroline could see the relief in his face.

"What is this crap about doing it alone?" Bonnie said coming into the room. Tyler and Caroline turned and looked at her. "Tyler."

"Bonnie," Tyler said and the three stood there awkwardly. "Well I am going to go. Bye."

"Bye Tyler," Caroline said closing the door. "That was fun."

"He was never the sharpest tool in the shed was he?" Bonnie said and Caroline nodded.

"5 years of my life," Caroline said and the two went back to bed.

The Present

"Tyler," Caroline said looking up with wide eyes at her ex-boyfriend.

"Hey Care," Tyler said with a smile on his face, "How have you been?"

"Good," Caroline said, "I've been good. What are you doing in Chicago? "

"An old friend of mine is getting married," Tyler said, "Came here for the wedding. Mystic Falls can live without its Mayor for one weekend." Tyler looked at Klaus.

"Tyler, this is Klaus...my boyfriend," Caroline said and Klaus choked on the drink of wine he was taking. "You okay, honey?"

"Oh, I'm fine love," Klaus said.

"Wait..." Tyler said looking at Klaus, "This is the dude from the bar. Ella's Dad. I thought you said you had no idea who he was?"

"I didn't, but it turns out he is my neighbors brother so we reconnected when he came to visit his brother, isn't that right?" Caroline said and kicked Klaus under the table.

"Right," Klaus said and kicked her back.

"Oh, that's great," Tyler said.

"How's Haley?" Caroline politely asked.

"She's doing good, so are the kids," Tyler replied and Caroline struggled to keep the fake smile on her face.

"Here's your check Mr. Mikaelson," The waiter said handing the check to Klaus.

"Thank you," Klaus said not even bothering to look at the bill before putting his credit card in.

"Mikaelson?" Tyler said, "As in Niklaus Mikaelson?"

"Yes?" Klaus said.

"My Mother just bought one of your paintings, she went on and on about it," Tyler told him. "She told me you never leave Europe. My Mother had to go to England to buy it."

"As you can see I do leave Europe," Klaus said as if talking to a simpleton, "I have to see my girl and my daughter don't I? If you will excuse us, Tyler, we really must be going."

"Oh, right, sorry," Tyler said, "I will leave you guys. It was good seeing you Caroline."

"You too," Caroline said and looked over at Klaus who was smirking.

"Boyfriend, huh?" Klaus said.

"Shut up," Caroline said rubbing her temples.

"So he played football, right?" Klaus said and Caroline blinked.

"How did you know?" Caroline asked.

"He looked the type, and let me guess you were the cheerleading captain," Klaus said.

"Did you look up my social security number and tax returns too?" Caroline said and Klaus rolled his eyes.

"I remember from our night together that you were very flexible," Klaus said and Caroline blushed. "Cheerleader was the natural conclusion, and of course you would be captain. You wouldn't settle for anything less."

"Yes, if you must know Tyler was on the football team and I was the cheer captain," Caroline said, "And while we are on the topic of ex's, why don't you tell me about yours."

"Tatia?" Klaus said and Caroline nodded.

"I saw you two together at the wedding," Caroline said softly. Klaus didn't say anything for a moment.

"Well that explains why you didn't tell me about Ella, your probably doubted my character after that." Klaus said and the waiter came back with the check. Klaus took the bill out and signed it.

"Let me leave the tip," Caroline said but Klaus ignored her.

"Come, let's take a walk," Klaus said getting up. Caroline got up and followed him

K&C

It was nice night and they walked in silence for a while. Caroline's heels were hurting so she took them off and now Klaus was carrying them.

"I loved her," Klaus said and Caroline looked at him, "Tatia. At least the way any foolish boy can love someone. Everyone says I am not the Dad type, and they are right, but the only time I ever thought about having kids was when I was with her. Then I made the mistake of bringing her home to meet my family."

"Is that when she met Elijah?" Caroline asked.

"Yes," Klaus replied, "He fancied her right away, you could tell. It was childish, but I was happy that I had something my brother wanted because that have never happened before. Then my father died and Elijah had this shiny title that was too hard to resist while I was just a struggling artist."

"So she broke up with you and dated him?" Caroline said.

"Correct, after that I threw myself into my art and I started to finally get some business. Before you knew it I had money and a nice career as an artist," Klaus told her, "I started getting invited to exclusive parties and appearing in art magazines. I had made it, and due to some circumstances I won't get in to Elijah had to forfeit his title."

"Let me guess, Tatia started coming onto you again?" Caroline said.

"She did, and I was angry and spiteful enough to get involved with her again," Klaus said. "But now they are married and that is over, even I have that much sense of integrity," Klaus said, "I have carried on affairs with married women yes, but not my brother's wife. There are lines even I won't cross."

"That is good to hear," Carolie said and then added, "Well apart from having affairs with other man's wives."

"What can I say? Rich middle age women love me and my paintings," Klaus said and Caroline laughed, "I really don't know why I told you all that."

"I wasn't sure I could trust you after what I saw, but by telling me all of that, I think you might be starting to earn it," Caroline said. To her surprise Klaus laughed. "What?"

"Little Red Riding Hood said to the Wolf, "I trust you." Klaus said, "The last words she ever spoke."

"What are you going to try and eat me?" Caroline asked and Klaus grinned.

"Already did that once love," Klaus said and her cheeks turned red, "Let me know if you want me to do it again." Caroline took her shoe back and hit him with it. "I'll tell you something else, sweetheart."

"What?" Caroline asked.

"Falling in love is something I am never going to do again." Klaus answered.

K&C

Klaus looked at the envelope afraid to open it. His life would change the second he read the results. If Ella was his then he would make up on all his promises. If she wasn't Klaus could get back to his life. But did he want Ella to be his daughter? After Tatia Klaus never thought about having kids again, and if it turned out Ella wasn't his, a part of him would be disappointed. Klaus took a deep breath and opened the envelope. He read it carefully and put it down. He walked around his hotel room once and picked the letter up and looked at it again.

He had a daughter.

Ella was his.

Klaus got his phone out and looked at the numbers. He paused at Elijah's name but couldn't find it in himself to call. Instead he went one contact down. Klaus pressed dial and put it to his ear.

"Hello, well she is mine," Klaus said to the person on the other end, "Ella is my daughter."

K&C

"It went good?" Katherine said surprised. "But he was such an ass."

"I know," Caroline said just as surprised as she was, "But we had a good talk and he even opened up about Tatia."

"Who we hate, right?" Katherine said and Caroline nodded.

"Yeah, we totally hate her," Caroline repeated.

"Mommy!" Ella called out, "Look how high I am going!"

"I see Sweetie," Caroline said smiling at her daughter on the swings, "Be careful."

"So are you really going to do this?" Katherine asked, "Let Klaus into her life?"

"Now that he has stopped threatening to sue me, yes," Caroline said, "I don't think he is going to mess up her life. He is just going to be one more person to love her." Caroline smiled faintly. Oh no. Katherine knew that look. It was the same look Caroline used to have about Tyler Wood for Brains.

"Oh, do not go there," Katherine said sternly.

"Go where?" Caroline said innocently.

"You know exactly where," Katherine said, "Mr. Tortured Artist opened up to you once and now you are all gaga over him."

"I am not gaga over Klaus. I have a no accent rule, remember?" Caroline said, "The results are in, if he chooses to be a part of her life then he will be a part of mine. I am just glad we are getting along now, that's all." Caroline got up to go play with Ella leaving Katherine sitting there.

Katherine had always been good at reading people. This Klaus might have gotten his heart broken by Tatia, but he was a heartbreaker himself. Katherine had known Caroline all her life, the girl falls hard and fast, but she never had anyone catch her. They all let Caroline crash to the ground.

"Sorry I'm late," Elena said sitting down next to her.

"No problem," Katherine said, "Where's Bonnie?" Elena grinned.

"Bonnie had a date with Kol last night and I haven't heard from her since," Elena told her, "Looks like they finally admitted their feelings."

"Lost another one," Katherine said with sigh, "You're married, Bonnie and Kol are hooking up, Caroline is going to be jumping her baby daddy before you know it. I am the only smart one left."

"I just think you haven't met the right guy yet," Elena said and Katherine rolled her eyes.

"There is no right guy for me," Katherine said.

K&C

Elijah just got off the phone with Rebekah. Apparently Rebekah was planning a surprise visit to Kol in Chicago. She wasn't fooling anyone. They all knew Rebekah was going to investigate her new found niece. Yes, the results were in. Ella was in fact their niece. It was hard to imagine Niklaus as a father, but Elijah had faith in him.

"Elijah?" Tatia said and Elijah held back a groan.

"Yes?" Elijah said facing her.

"Who were you talking to?" Tatia asked.

"Rebekah," Elijah replied, "She wants to go to Chicago to see Ella. I am thinking I might go as well."

"We are going to Chicago?" Tatia said and Elijah shook his head.

"I am going to Chicago," Elijah corrected, "You, my dear, are going back to England."

"But..." Tatia said put Elijah put his hand up.

"You made your bed, now you have to lie alone in it," Elijah said and pulled out his phone again to make the arrangements.

K&C

"You look nervous," Kol commented and Klaus glared at him.

"Shut it," Klaus said.

"It is just the zoo," Kol said trying to calm his brother down who was obviously freaking out, "Ella will just point out all the animals she wants to added to her stuffed animal collection. Buy her a stuffed tiger and she will love you forever."

"Really?" Klaus said.

"Pretty much," Kol said with a shrug, "Oh and don't get mad if Ella tries to imitate your accent. She likes the funny voices us Brits make."

"Okay," Klaus said.

"You will be fine," Kol promised.

"What if she doesn't like me?" Klaus asked and Kol held back a laugh.

"If you somehow got Caroline to like you enough to let you see Ella, you don't need to worry about Ella liking you," Kol said, "She is a mini Caroline. Although she does have many "Klaus moments" like when she gets really grumpy."

"I am not grumpy." Klaus said but Kol rolled his eyes.

"You will be fine, brother," Kol said again, "Go over there and be the charming, nice, guy I know is buried deep deep down inside of you."

Klaus left Kol's apartment and walked across the way to Caroline's door. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. When the door opened no one was there, but then Klaus looked down and saw the most beautiful girl he had ever laid eyes on.

"Hello," The musical voice belonging to the little girl said.

His whole world changed.

…...

What did you think? You learned more about Tatia and Klaus' past, and Caroline and Klaus are on better terms now.

I wanted to do one more evil cliffhanger to keep you all reading! The next chapter Klaus will finally meet Ella. Any cute scenes you want to see? I take requests.

Who do you think Klaus called? Who do you think the "right man" for Katherine is?

As for Only Human I am trying I swear, but for some reason this next chapter has been like pulling teeth for me!

I have also been on a bit of Game of Thrones kick. I got into fanfics because I felt the need to "fix" things in shows/book/movies. I needed to fix a couple things in that show in my own mind. I need some happy endings.

Thanks again to all your reviews and faving and alerting! I mean holy crap wow!
