The next chapter! I know it took way to long. I'm so sorry! I hope you guys like it :)
The next few days passed by in a blur. Caroline continued to go to work and Klaus continued to shower her with love. Today was the day that the Mikaelson's would come over to dinner at Klaus' place.
Caroline slept in that day. Klaus asked Caroline to take the day off because he didn't want her to get tired after work and preparing a meal for his family so she did.
Klaus was on his way to the airport with Kol because they had to pick up their parents and little brother.
"You think Henrik's going to remember us?" Kol asked Klaus.
"No shit, he's our brother Kol." Klaus said and rolled his eyes.
"I'm just saying… He hasn't seen us in quite some time." Kol answered.
"He'll remember us, I'm sure of it. He's not a little boy anymore." Klaus stated.
"Yeah, yeah I guess you're right. He is thirteen after all." Kol said.
"Yep," Klaus said as he drove into the airport parking lot.
"Do you know where they are?" Kol asked.
"Yeah, Bekah told me that they were going to get their luggage before coming out and I know where the luggage pick up is." Klaus said.
"Okay, good."
Klaus and Kol both got out of the car and made their way towards the entrance.
"You ready for this brother?" Kol asked.
"Oh yeah, I missed them." Klaus said.
"Same here," Kol said.
Klaus nodded and Kol and they finally got inside the airport. Klaus and Kol were waiting to see their parents and little brother for about thirty minutes.
"What's taking so long?" Kol asked worriedly.
"They're probably just delayed." Klaus said.
"You think everything is okay?" Kol asked continuing to worry.
"Yes," Klaus said and put a hand on his brother's shoulder reassuringly.
"Alright," Kol said.
A couple of minutes later they spotted their father making his way towards the luggage area.
"There he is!" Klaus said excitedly.
"Thank god everything is okay." Kol said and breathed out.
"No shit Kol, seriously stop worrying." Klaus said to his little brother.
"Eh," Kol said.
"Come on, let's help him out." Klaus said before walking into the direction of their father. Kol followed Klaus to where Mikael stood.
"Hello Father!" Klaus and Kol said in unison.
Mikael looked at his sons' proudly. "Hello my boys',"
Mikael dropped the luggage and took his sons' into a bear hug.
Klaus and Kol hugged him back. He really was a great father to them. After they were finished hugging one another Kol asked, "Where are Mother and Henrik?"
"Henrik got hungry so Esther went to get him food."
"Oh okay," Kol said.
Mikael nodded at them and took the luggage into his hands.
"Uh uh uh," Klaus announced as he took the luggage out of his father's hand.
"I can carry the luggage Niklaus." Mikael said.
"I know you can, but I want to help you." Klaus said.
"Very well," Mikael said. "Where are Rebekah, Elijah, and Finn?"
"They all had to work." Klaus answered.
"Of course they did." Mikael said and rolled his eyes. His children couldn't just take one day off to see their family after three years.
"Rebekah wanted to come but her boss wouldn't allow her to take a day off." Klaus said to his father.
"Don't tell me she is still working for that woman Lolita." Mikael said.
"I'd hate to disappoint you, but yeah she is still working for her."
"Rebekah deserves to own her own boutique." Mikael said.
"We know," Klaus and Kol said in unison.
Once they got all of their parent's and brother's luggage they looked around to see if their mother and Henrik have shown up yet.
"There they are!" Kol said excitedly as he pointed at them.
Klaus looked over to who Kol was pointing to and he smiled widely. "Finally," Klaus said.
"Esther darling, we're over here." Mikael said as he waved at his wife.
Esther noticed Mikael's voice and she took Henrik's hand.
"Come on Henry," Esther said to Henrik.
Henrik looked up at his mother and nodded. He didn't really want to hold his mother's hand but he knew he had to.
Once Esther and Henrik got to Klaus, Kol, and Mikael they smiled at them.
"Mother!" Kol said cheerfully and gave her a huge hug. Esther hugged her son back and she smiled at Klaus. After Kol was finished hugging his mother he went to his little brother. He messed up Henrik's black skater boy hair and Henrik looked up at Kol with narrowed eyes.
"Leave him be Kol." Klaus said to his brother.
Henrik looked up at Klaus and he grinned widely.
"Nik!" Henrik yelled out and tackled him to the ground.
"Hey bud," Klaus said and hugged Henrik back. They got off of the floor and they smiled at one another happily.
Klaus walked over to his mother and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"How are you doing mother?" Klaus asked.
"I am doing wonderfully Niklaus." Esther said to Klaus.
"Good," Klaus said.
"Shall we get going?" Mikael asked.
"Yes," They all said together.
Henrik walked out of the airport with Klaus. Once they were all settled in the car Klaus began to drive towards Kol's apartment.
"Why are you taking us to where Kol lives?" Henrik asked Klaus.
"I want you guys to rest up and tonight you can come over to my apartment for dinner."
"Who's going to cook? Not Bekah right?" Henrik asked.
"Henrik!" Esther said.
"What mum, she's a horrible cook." Henrik stated.
Klaus, Mikael, and Kol burst out laughing.
"No Bekah won't be cooking." Klaus said after they all calmed down.
"Then who will?" Henrik asked.
"My girlfriend," Klaus said.
"You have a girlfriend?" Esther asked surprised.
"Yes I do, and I am almost certain you will like her." Klaus said excitedly.
"Does she even know how to cook?" Esther asked curiously.
"Yes Mother, she is a fantastic cook." Klaus replied.
"If you say so," Esther said.
Klaus rolled his eyes and continued to stare at the road ahead of him. Soon they finally got to Kol's apartment.
Klaus helped Kol out by bringing in the luggage and then he left because he had to pick up Caroline from her apartment.
Caroline was already up when her phone began to ring. She quickly ran over to her cell phone and answered it.
"Hello?" Caroline asked.
"Hello, love. Are you ready yet?" Klaus asked from the other end of the line.
"Yeah, I'll be out in a little. Give me a couple of minutes?" Caroline asked.
"Take your time," Klaus said.
"Okay, see you in a few Nik!" Caroline said before she put the phone down.
She wore a pair of black yoga pants and a grey crop top. She had a change of clothes in her bag for later.
She took her purse and the bag with her and made her way out of the apartment. Once she was downstairs she noticed Klaus' car and walked over to it. Klaus saw her coming and he got out of his car immediately. He opened up the car door for her that was opposite his and Caroline said, "Thanks but you shouldn't have gotten out of your car just to open the door for me."
"You're welcome Care Bear, and don't worry about it. I want to open the door for you." Klaus announced.
Caroline smiled at him and went into the car. Once she was seated he went back to his car door and settled in as well.
They both met each other halfway and their lips connected. Klaus caressed Caroline's cheek and they continued to kiss one another. Once they broke apart from one another Klaus started the car.
"You look beautiful," Klaus said honestly. He loved seeing Caroline dressed like that
Caroline looked down at her outfit and said, "Thank you,"
"You're welcome, now what are we going to be cooking today?" Klaus asked.
"We?" Caroline asked.
"Yes we, I decided that I want to cook with you." Klaus said.
"Alright then," Caroline said as she looked at Klaus with a genuine smile on her face. "I was thinking of maybe cooking some Italian food?"
"Sound's good, what do you have in mind?" Klaus asked as he focused on the road ahead.
"Spinach Ravioli, Eggplant Parmesan, Baked Ziti, Italian Bread with Olive Oil, a few different types of salads, and a few different types of pastries." Caroline said.
"That sounds delicious; I simply cannot wait till dinner time." Klaus said excitedly.
Caroline nodded in agreement and said, "I have to stop by the super market though."
"Alright we could do that." Klaus said.
Klaus changed his direction and drove to the nearest super market. Once they got there they quickly went inside and got everything they needed.
Caroline gabbed two bottles of marinara sauce from the shelf, four packs of spaghetti, three eggplants, spinach, cheese, olive oil, Italian bread, and everything else she needed.
"All done?" Klaus asked.
"Yes," Caroline breathed out.
"Alright, come on let's get to the cashier." Klaus said as he took the cart from Caroline and made his way to the nearest register. Klaus was taking all of the items from the cart and placing them on the register. The cashier looked at the young couple surprised.
"Is that all?" The cashier asked.
"Yes," Klaus and Caroline said in unison.
The cashier nodded and began to place the items into the plastic bags. Klaus took out his wallet and set the money on the register.
"Thank you, have a nice day!" The cashier said smiling at them. She handed them the receipt and they took it.
Once all of the items were in the garage they made their way towards Klaus' apartment. As soon as Caroline was inside she went into the kitchen and washed her hands with the Dove soap. After that she started to take out all of the ingredients that she needed.
She first began to work on the Spinach Ravioli. After the Ravioli was in the oven she started on the Eggplant Parmesan. When she was finished with the Eggplant Parmesan she put it into the oven and began to take out the vegetables.
Klaus took out a cutting board from the shelf and washed it. He took out a knife and placed the cucumbers on the cutting board. Klaus removed the cucumber's skin and cut it into little pieces. Caroline was working on the tomatoes. When they were both finished cutting the vegetable they threw it into the mixing bowl. Caroline took some sea salt, black pepper, and basil and threw it into the mixing bowl as well. She began to mix the fresh salad.
"Should I cut anything else?" Klaus asked Caroline over her shoulder.
"Yeah, can you please cut another cucumber and two avocados?" Caroline asked.
"Of course," Klaus said as he rummaged through his fridge. He took out the avocados and washed them as well as the cucumber. He quickly washed the cutting board and placed it back on the counter. Caroline was still mixing the salad.
Klaus began to cut the vegetables and Caroline took out seven eggs out of Klaus' fridge. She had to boil the eggs because she needed it for the avocado salad and the egg salad.
When Klaus was finished cutting up the avocados and cucumbers he tossed them into a mixing bowl.
"What else should I add?" Klaus asked.
"Mayonnaise and a lemon," Caroline said.
"Alright," Klaus said. He took a spoon of mayonnaise and placed it into the mixing bowl. He cut into the lemon and squeezed the lemon juice out.
Once the eggs were finally boiled Caroline took them out of the pot and began to remove the eggs' skin. After she was finished doing that she took the freshly washed cutting board and began to cut the boiled eggs. She tossed the egg pieces into the mixing bowl and Klaus began to mix it.
"This looks delicious," Klaus stated.
"It is, try it?" Caroline asked.
"Sure," Klaus said as he took a spoonful of the avocado salad. "That tastes phenomenal."
"Yep, yep." Caroline said with a smile.
"Do you want some?"
"Nah I'm good, thanks though."
They continued to work in the kitchen for the next couple of hours and Rebekah soon came.
Klaus went to the door and opened it for his sister. Rebekah was standing there with a blonde haired man.
"Hey Nik, this is Galen, my new boyfriend."
"Hello Galen, my name's Niklaus."
"A pleasure," Galen said in his Scottish accent.
"Come in, please. Make yourself comfortable." Klaus said as he pointed to the living room.
"Thank you," Galen said as he removed his shoes and placed them in the shoe closet.
Rebekah and Galen walked into the living room and Klaus walked back into the kitchen.
"Was that Rebekah?" Caroline asked.
"Yeah and her new boyfriend Galen." Klaus said.
"Alright," Caroline said as she smiled at Klaus.
She looked exhausted. "Are you almost done here?" Klaus asked.
"I'll be done in about an hour. I still have to put in the baked ziti and I still need to bake apple cake, tiramisu, chocolate chip cookies, and some cheesecake." Caroline answered.
"I'll do it, go rest." Klaus said as he pushed Caroline out of the kitchen softly.
"You sure?" Caroline asked.
"Yes."
"Thanks Nik." Caroline said as she kissed him on the cheek.
"You're welcome," Klaus said as he took out everything he needed out of the cabinets.
Caroline walked into the living room and saw Rebekah sitting there with a handsome man.
"Caroline!" Rebekah said happily.
"Hey," Caroline said as she smiled at Rebekah.
"This is Galen." Rebekah said as she pointed at her boyfriend.
"Hello Galen, my name is Caroline. I'm Nik's girlfriend." Caroline said happily.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Caroline, Galen Vaughn." Galen said and extended his hand for Caroline to take.
"I'm going to get ready alright?" Caroline said to Rebekah.
"Yeah sure," Rebekah said.
Caroline walked into Klaus' bedroom and took out her things from the bag.
She walked into the bathroom and pulled off her crop top. She took out her white dress with spaghetti straps and hung it on the hanger. She pulled on her dress and put on her black heels. Caroline tried to fix her hair and then she took out her makeup bag.
She applied some black eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss. When Caroline was finished getting ready she went back into Klaus' bedroom and Klaus was already there.
"Wow," Klaus said as he looked at Caroline. "You look beautiful Caroline."
"Thank you," Caroline said with a smile. "Is everything in the oven?"
"Yes it is," Klaus said as he pulled his shirt off. He walked to his closet and took out a black button down shirt and put it on.
Klaus and Caroline heard a knock on the door and they looked at one another.
"It looks like they're here." Klaus said as he took Caroline's hand into his. "You ready for this?" He asked her.
"Yes," Caroline said.
There you go!
