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.

Klaus and Caroline left Klaus' room and went to the door. Klaus opened the door and there stood his whole entire family. Elijah stood next to Katherine, Kol stood next to Bonnie, Finn stood next to Sage, his Mother and brother stood next to Mikael and he smiled at them.

"Come in," He said to his family.

Once his family was inside the younger guests went into the living room and sat down on the couches. Esther and Mikael were still in the hallway when they spotted Caroline.

"Mother, Father, this is Caroline."

"Caroline?" Esther asked.

"Yes ma'am." Caroline smiled at her.

"So lovely to meet you but you look so familiar!" Mikael stated.

"Probably because you've met her before." Klaus clarified.

"Have we?" Esther asked.

"Yes, please come into the living room." Caroline said as she motioned to the living room.

Esther and Mikael went into the living room and sat down.

"The table will be set in a few, so can I get you guys something to drink?" Caroline asked.

Klaus smiled at Caroline because he loved how she was playing the hostess and him the host.

"Some tea would be wonderful." Mikael said.

Caroline nodded at him and then looked at the younger guests, "Do you guys want something to drink?"

"May I have some orange juice?" Henrik asked.

"Of course you can," Caroline said as she went into the kitchen.

Katherine and Bonnie followed her into the kitchen and helped her out. Katherine put on the tea and Bonnie took out the cups.

"It smells delicious Care," Katherine said.

"Does it?" Caroline asked nervously.

"Of course it does!"

Bonnie opened up the oven and then closed it.

"Italian food?" Bonnie asked.

"Yup,"

"My favorite," Katherine said and Bonnie agreed.

"Did Klaus even help you?" Bonnie asked.

"Yes! He actually did most of the work."

"You're kidding!" Katherine announced.

"Nope, he really did more than me. I made the dinner and he made the dessert."

"Lucky you, Kol can't even make eggs!" Bonnie said.

"And how do you know that?" Caroline asked.

"We've been together."

"Wonderful, my best friend is talking about her sex life while in the kitchen."

"What? Don't tell me you haven't done the deed with Klaus."

"We were about to…" Caroline said.

"And what happen?" Katherine asked.

"I walked in," Rebekah said as she entered the kitchen with Sage behind her.

"You're kidding!" Bonnie and Katherine said.

"She's serious," Caroline said her cheeks getting redder by the second.

"Oh my, what a great first impression." Katherine said and the girls began to laugh together.

"I'd hate to interrupt your bonding, but isn't it time to set the table?" Elijah asked as he walked into the kitchen and gave Katherine a kiss on the cheek.

"It is indeed, so why don't you and your brothers' set it?" Katherine asked as she smiled at Elijah seductively.

"I'd love to see my brothers' try." Rebekah said.

"Is that a challenge dear sister?" Elijah asked.

"It is,"

"Then I cannot wait to prove you wrong." Elijah said.

"Great!" Rebekah said.

Elijah called for Kol, Klaus, and Finn and they began to move around in the kitchen looking for the silverware. Elijah took the plates out while Kol washed the spoons, knives, and forks. Klaus began to take the salads out and Finn helped them. Vaughn took out a couple of glasses after they told them where it was and helped the men set the table.

Caroline set the tea down on the coffee table with a couple of cups and Rebekah handed the orange juice to Henrik.

"Thank you," Mikael said to Caroline.

"You're very welcome." She said before turning away from the couple.

"Where have we seen her before Mikael?" Esther asked.

"I don't know she looks so familiar though!"

"I know," Esther agreed.

Mikael poured himself and Esther a cup of tea and he handed a cup to her.

Esther was still thinking about it and then she figured it out.

"The girl from Niklaus' foster home!" Esther said.

"You're right; oh my they have found one another after so many years? That's amazing." Mikael said.

"I see you guys figured it out, huh?" Klaus asked as he sat down beside his parent's.

"Yes, why didn't you tell us Niklaus?" Esther asked.

"I wanted it to be a surprise."

"You love one another?" Mikael asked.

"We do," Klaus said as he smiled at his parents.

"Star-crossed lovers," Esther whispered.

"Pardon?" Klaus asked.

"Call her here," Esther said.

"Alright," Klaus said before getting off of the couch and going back into the kitchen.

"Caroline, my parents want to speak to us."

"They do? About what?"

"I'm not sure," Klaus said as he took a hold of Caroline's hand and led her to the living room. Most of the guests were already seated at the table.

Caroline sat beside Klaus and looked at his parents curiously.

"You two are star-crossed lovers." Esther said.

"Whatever do you mean mother?" Klaus asked.

"You two were separated from one another but then you found one another again. This means that no matter what happen you two would still find one another because you were meant to be."

"Esther? Are you sure my love?" Mikael asked.

"Yes, I only ever thought it was possible in those movies and books but it is actually real." Esther said as she stared at Klaus and Caroline through teary eyes.

"I don't understand," Klaus said.

"It means we're soul mates you idiot." Caroline said as she nudged him playfully.

"I've always known that." Klaus said.

"You have?" Caroline asked.

"Yes, that's why I never stopped sketching you. I knew that if I would think about you I would eventually find my way back to you and that is exactly what I did. I found you Caroline, because I never stopped believing in you."

"Really?" Caroline cried.

"Yes," Klaus said as he caressed her cheeks and leaned into kiss her on the lips. They kissed one another and Esther and Mikael smiled at one another.

"Are you guys' ready to eat yet?" Henrik asked as he came into the living room.

"Sh," Esther said to her youngest son.

Henrik nodded and went back into the living room.

"Well?" Rebekah asked her brother.

"Nik and his girlfriend are kissing and our mum and dad are watching them."

"What?" Elijah and Finn asked at the same time.

"They're kissing and mum told me to sh." Henrik said.

Kol burst out laughing and so did the rest of them. Elijah got out of his seat and went into the living room and noticed that they were still kissing.

"I'd hate to break you two up but we're all starving in there." He said to Klaus and Caroline

Klaus and Caroline separated from one another and they were both blushing.

"We'll be there in a minute, alright 'Lijah?"

"Yeah sure, mother and father perhaps you should come into the dining room and leave them alone."

"Do we have to?" Esther whined.

Mikael put his arm around Esther and helped her up. They went into the dining room and Mikael sat at the head of the table just like old times.

"Did we just make out in front of your parents?" Caroline asked once they were alone in the living room.

"We did,"

"I'm so embarrassed right now." Caroline said as she face-palmed herself.

"Why?"

"Because we made out in front of your parents! What are they going to think of me now?"

"Who cares, it only matters what I think of you and I think that I am love with you." Klaus said as he looked into Caroline's clear blue eyes.

"I'm in love with you to Nik,"

"Good, now let's go eat some dinner."

"Okay," Caroline said.

He took her hand into his and they made their way towards the dining room.

Klaus pulled out a chair for Caroline and then sat down beside her.

"Thank you all for agreeing to come to dinner." Klaus said to his family.

"Thank you for inviting us." Finn said and Sage nodded.

Klaus nodded at them and then turned to his father.

"What is it you wanted to tell us, father?"

"Your mother and I have decided that we will be moving to New York, permanently." Mikael said.

"Really?" Rebekah cried out.

"Yes," Esther said as she took a hold of Mikael's hand.

"Just like old times." Klaus said happily. He took a hold of Caroline's hand and squeezed it tightly. Caroline smiled at him.

"I want to say something." Klaus announced.

"What is it?" They asked.

Klaus got out of his seat and turned Caroline to face him. He got onto one knee and looked up at Caroline nervously.

"Will you Caroline Forbes marry me?" Klaus asked as he took a ring box out of his side pocket and opened it.
