Hey guys! So I am finally back with an update!
I am so so sorry for the long wait :/
I would like to thank Leah, Lauren, Juliete, and Nicole for the new covers that they made for this fanfic and I would like to thank Katarhyne for giving me her opinion.
I hope this chapter sort of makes up for my absence :) Enjoy!
Two Months Later:
Caroline sat on her bed nervously. She was going to get married to the love of her life in less than nine hours and she couldn't believe. After Klaus was adopted Caroline thought that she would never see him again but she did.
Caroline loved Klaus just as much as Klaus loved Caroline. The two were lovesick fools and they didn't mind. The past two months have been a blast and it was finally almost time to tie the knot.
"Oh my god!" Caroline screeched as she kicked her bed excitedly.
"Care?" Katherine, Elena, and Bonnie asked as they entered the bedroom worriedly.
"Huh?" Caroline asked.
"You screamed, why?" Katherine asked.
"Out of happiness?" Caroline guessed and smiled at her friends.
The three girls burst out laughing and joined the blonde on her bed. They put their arms around her and embraced her.
"You are getting married." Elena stated the obvious.
"I know, oh my god. I can't believe it!" Caroline told the three honestly.
"Are you ready for this?" Bonnie asked.
"Yes, I've been ready for the past two months." Caroline confessed.
"Good, because it is time to go. We need to get to the airport." Bonnie told her best friend.
"Shit! Let me get ready real quick and then we'll be on our way." Caroline said as she jumped off of her bed and ran into her closet head first.
Caroline reached for her light blue jeans and her black tank top. She quickly put on her clothes and then reached for her beige three-quartered sleeve cardigan. Caroline frowned at the half empty closet but shook her head.
"All done!" She told the girls that were already dressed.
"Good, come on now. All of our parents will be arriving in a little less than two hours." Elena told her.
Caroline nodded and reached for her black clutch. She quickly threw her cell phone and wallet into the clutch and let out a deep breath.
"Let's go. We have our salon appointment in three hours." Caroline told them as she walked over to her door. She turned the door knob and walked into the hallway. Once the girls got to the foyer they quickly put on their shoes.
"Whose car are we taking?" Katherine asked.
"Stefan's," Elena told them.
"He actually loaned you his expensive Hummer?" Katherine asked her twin sister wide-eyed.
"Yes," Elena rolled her eyes at Katherine.
"You two are getting serious, huh?" Caroline asked.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that." Elena blushed.
"How are the two of you doing on the romantic front?" Caroline asked the other two girls.
"Kol and I are doing well. We've been going out a lot lately and I really do think that he could be the one even though he was a player before." Bonnie sighed dreamily.
"Yeah, I'm doing well too. Elijah and I are going on vacation to Bora Bora in a few months." Katherine smiled dreamily as she recalled the way Elijah asked her to go on vacation with her.
Two Weeks Earlier:
Katherine waited for Elijah at the sushi bar with her arms crossed. She reached for her cup of green tea and brought the cup to her glossy lips. Katherine took a sip and then put the cup down.
She looked down at her gold Michael Kors watch impatiently. What the hell was taking him so long, she wondered?
Katherine sighed when she spotted Elijah's expensive Hugo Boss black suit in the window,
"Finally," She said to herself.
Elijah entered the sushi bar and quickly walked over to Katherine when he spotted her.
"Sorry I'm late," He apologized with a frown on his lips.
"It's okay," Katherine smiled. All that mattered was that he was finally here.
Elijah leaned into Katherine and kissed her glossy lips. He caressed her cheek for a few moments and then sat down across from her.
"Where were you?" Katherine asked out of curiosity.
"I got held up at work. Niklaus had to leave earlier because he and Caroline still have a couple of wedding arrangements that must get completed before their wedding date so he asked me to finish up with his work." Elijah shrugged.
"Ah, I see. So when's the famous bachelor party?" Katherine asked as the waiter walked over to them with two menus.
The two thanked the waiter and left the menus to the side for the time being.
"In a week," Elijah told her.
"Where will it be?" Katherine wondered. Maybe the girls would crash their little bachelor party.
"Don't worry about it, darling." Elijah grinned.
Katherine pouted in his direction and reached for the menu. She opened it and began to skim through the sushi rolls.
"Uh, uh, uh. No pouting Katarina." Elijah told her.
"What are you going to do?" Katherine asked flirtatiously.
"How about you wait and see?" Elijah offered.
"Oh," Katherine raised her eyebrows with a smile on her lips now.
Elijah laughed as he reached for his own menu.
"Come on, tell me! I want to know where you guys will be going."
"I can't, we don't exactly want our women crashing the party now do we?" Elijah asked.
"I guess…" Katherine told Elijah in defeat.
"That's my girl," Elijah smiled.
Katherine reciprocated the smile as she shook her head at him.
"Katarina, we have to talk." Elijah told her as he put his menu down neatly.
Katherine looked up at him with confusion. Was he breaking up with her, she wondered?
"Relax sweetheart," Elijah laughed.
Katherine relaxed immediately and waited for Elijah to speak.
"I was wondering… Would you like to join me in Bora Bora in a month?"
"I—I don't know…" Katherine told him.
"Say yes," Elijah pleaded.
"Okay, I'd love to go on vacation with you but I'm paying for my expenses." Katherine told him pointedly.
"No," Elijah simply said.
"No?"
"No," Elijah said.
"But why?" Katherine asked.
"You are my girlfriend Katherine and I love spending money on you so please just let me pay for you."
"Elijah… I don't know… I mean we've been together for two months and I don't exactly want to depend on you."
"But I want you to depend on me. I really like you Katarina." Elijah confessed as he took her hand into his own.
"Okay," Katherine said.
Elijah smiled widely and kissed her knuckle.
"But I am paying for our next vacation."
"Of course you are." Elijah said even though he knew that he wouldn't allow her to pay for him.
"Mhm," Katherine smiled.
Present:
The girls were stuck in traffic on their way to the JFK airport.
"We're running out of time." Caroline panicked as she looked at the cars ahead of them that seemed to go on for miles on end.
"No we're not!" We have a lot of time Care, don't worry everything will go smoothly." Katherine reassured the worried girl.
"What if there is a delay?" Caroline asked nervously as she chewed on her nails.
"The sky is clear and the weather in Virginia is a bit foggy but it is still safe to fly. Our parents will get here on time." Bonnie reassured.
"But what if they don't? What if there is a problem with the airplane… or what if there are terrorists on that plane?" Caroline asked beginning to cry. Caroline was starting to hyperventilate.
"Caroline, take a deep breath." Elena told the crying girl.
"This was a bad idea…" Caroline cried.
"You're not getting cold feet are you?" Katherine questioned.
"No! Of course not. Marrying Nik is not a bad idea it is actually the best idea. Our parents flying over here is."
"Why do you say that?" Bonnie asked.
"Well, what if my parents don't like Nik?" Caroline asked.
"They've met Klaus before on several occasions and last time I checked they did give the two of you their blessing." Katherine stated.
"You're right. You're right," Caroline said again trying to calm herself down.
Her parents loved Klaus and they were ready to marry their daughter off to the man of her dreams. She just needed to chill, she thought.
"Okay, you girls are right. I can do this. I've been planning my dream wedding ever since I was five years old." Caroline told herself.
Listen here Forbes, this is your wedding day so you better get your shit together and stop freaking out. You're marrying the love of your life and you have friends that are willing to do anything for you so stop freaking out and walk down that fucking aisle. Marry your man and make a family with him. This is your chance at a life filled with joy, love, and care so don't you dare fuck it up. Others can't find their soul mates and you already have! So don't you dare fuck it up! Do you understand me? Do you!? Yeah bitch, you better. Caroline could hear herself giving herself a pep-talk and she nodded. She could do this she told herself.
"I'm done freaking out." Caroline told her friends.
"Good," The three said in unison.
They could hear the sirens from the right side and they quickly turned to the sound.
"There was a car accident." Elena shook her head.
"That's why it was taking so long." Caroline said face-palming herself.
When the girls drove past the car accident the traffic decreased. A couple of minutes later they arrived at the airport. Elena parked Stefan's car in the parking lot. After the car was parked they left the car and quickly walked to the luggage claim area. Their parents would be out any second.
As the girls stood near the entrance they chatted amongst themselves waiting for their parents.
Bonnie spotted her mother and father first and she waved at them franticly.
"They're here!" Bonnie squealed as she ran over to her parents.
Bonnie hugged them tightly and they hugged her back.
"Bonnie, how have you been?" Abby asked her daughter and Rudy nodded.
"I've been good." Bonnie answered them.
"How is your boyfriend doing?" Rudy asked in his deep voice.
"He's doing well," Bonnie smiled dreamily.
"Uh-oh," Abby said.
"What?" Bonnie asked worriedly.
"Rudy it looks like our daughter is in love." Abby told her husband as she put her arm around him.
"Is that so?" Rudy asked his eyes widening.
"What? Psh… No…" Bonnie said.
"You're right Ab's," Rudy beamed down at his wife.
The couple laughed at their daughter and Rudy messed up Bonnie's hair, just like he used to when she was a little girl.
"Dad!" Bonnie frowned.
"I missed you pumpkin. Let me just bask in this happiness, will you?" Rudy asked.
"Yeah, yeah…" Bonnie rolled her eyes but laughed anyways.
She really did miss her parents, Bonnie thought.
Katherine and Elena ran over to their parents because they haven't seen them in months.
Katherine hugged her father and Elena hugged her mother. Elena was always closer to her mother then she was her father and Katherine was always closer to her father then she was her mother.
"Kitty Kat you look beautiful." Grayson told her daughter.
"Thanks daddy, you don't look so bad yourself." She grinned.
"Are you sure? It seems like I am getting my beer belly back." Grayson laughed as he patted his stomach.
"Haven't I told you to lay off the beer?" Katherine asked him pointedly.
"Yes you have… Sorry, sweetheart." Grayson apologized frowning.
"It's okay," Katherine laughed. "We can hit the gym when you and mom decide to move here." She added.
"We can indeed." Grayson laughed as he gave Katherine a kiss on the cheek.
"Where's Jeremy?" Katherine asked.
"He got held up back at the university but he is on his way here now." Grayson told her.
Katherine shook her head and sighed.
"Where's that impeccably dressed boyfriend of yours?" Grayson asked.
"Probably at work," Katherine shrugged.
"Are the two of you in an argument?" Grayson asked frowning.
"What? Of course not," Katherine reassured her father.
"Good because I like him." Grayson told Katherine as he hugged her tighter.
Elena hugged Miranda and hung on to her for a couple of minutes.
"You look beautiful 'Lena." Miranda complimented her daughter.
"Thank you mommy," Elena thanked.
"Let me look at you." Miranda said as she studied Elena.
"Okay," Elena smiled.
"Did you get a haircut?"
"I did," Elena laughed. "Do you like it?" She wondered.
"I love it; it is a lot better than that straight down the middle hair style you kept for god knows how long."
Elena rolled her eyes at her mother and Miranda said, "I'm just kidding. You're beautiful my love."
"Thanks mom," Elena smiled. "Where's Jer?" She wondered.
"He's on his way. He took a later flight because he got held back at the university. He should be here in about an hour." Miranda told her daughter.
"Ah I see, of course Jeremy is stuck studying…"
"Well he is going to be a brain surgeon so he needs to study if he wants to be successful."
"I know, I know."
"Doctor Jeremy Gilbert, it has a nice ring to it doesn't it?" Elena asked.
"It does," Miranda laughed.
Once the girls were finished hugging and talking to their favorite parent they hugged the other.
"Katherine, you look wonderful!" Miranda complimented her other daughter.
"Thanks mom, you look beautiful like always." Katherine smiled.
"Thanks sweety, how's life in New York been?"
"It's been really good. I love it here." Katherine admitted.
"I'm glad," Miranda smiled.
"Elena, you look wonderful!" Grayson told his other daughter.
"Thanks daddy, I'm glad you could make it." She beamed up at him.
"I wouldn't miss Caroline's wedding for the world." Grayson said. When the girls were growing up Caroline and Bonnie would usually go over to the Gilbert's residence and have sleepovers there. Grayson felt as if they were his daughters as well.
Caroline ran into her parents arms and hugged them both tightly.
"Mommy, Daddy I am so glad you could make it." She smiled as a tear slid down her cheek.
"We wouldn't miss your wedding Carey, you're our only child and we love you." Bill told his daughter.
Caroline smiled and hugged her parents once again.
"Are you ready to see New York City?" Caroline asked a smile on her lips.
"Yup, we were never here." Liz laughed.
"Can't you guys move here?" Caroline asked hopefully.
"I don't know…" Bill said.
"Why? Come on, Chicago is boring." Caroline whined. She knew that Chicago wasn't boring but she said it was anyway.
"It might be boring but it is our home." Liz sighed.
"So you're not going to move here?" Caroline asked sadly.
"No sweetheart, not yet at least." Bill said and Liz nodded.
"Okay," Caroline sighed sadly.
"Caroline this is your wedding day and I do not want you to be sad. Just because you father and I are not yet ready to leave our small town behind doesn't mean that we eventually won't."
Caroline smiled at them and nodded.
"Okay, let's go and get your suitcases." Caroline told them.
Bill and Liz nodded and followed their daughter to the luggage claim area. Bonnie's, Katherine's, and Elena's parents already had their bags in hand.
"We'll be quick." Liz told the other couples.
"Take your time," Miranda smiled as she put her arms around her daughters. The Bennett's nodded as they waited for the Forbes.
A couple of minutes later they settled into Stefan's Hummer and were on their way.
"The wedding is going to take place in the Plaza hotel." Caroline reminded them.
"We know," The parents told her.
"Good," Caroline let out a breath of relief.
"You're going to take us to the Plaza hotel now?" Rudy asked the girls.
"Yes," The four girls answered in unison.
When they got to the hotel the girls helped their parents check into the hotel and then said goodbye to them.
Caroline looked down at her watch and realized that it was time to go to the hair salon.
"Girls, we have to head over to the salon now." Caroline told them.
"Oh shit, time flew." Katherine said.
"I know!" The three said at the same time.
A couple of minutes later they got to the salon and waited to be called.
"The four of you, it's time for your appointments." She told them.
The girls stood up and followed the woman into the room. There were four chairs facing a mirror. The girls sat down and wait for their hair stylists to show up.
Two men and two women walked into the room and walked over to their clients.
"Who is the bride?" Donna, Katherine's hair dresser, asked.
"I am," Caroline told the woman.
Donna nodded and motioned for the young man to go over to Caroline.
"What will we be doing with your hair today?" He asked her in his French accented voice.
"I was thinking that you could just maybe curl it and put it to one side." Caroline answered.
"No, no, no. Darling, you are the bride. We must do something… unordinary to your beautiful blonde hair."
"Like what?" Caroline wondered.
"I have the perfect idea!" Julio said clapping his hands excitedly.
"Will I like it?" Caroline asked unsurely.
"You will love it. Your groom will go completely crazy once he sees you." He told her.
"Okay," Caroline nodded.
"Yay!" He said.
Caroline smiled at the hair stylist and waited for him to work his magic on her.
Donna looked over Katherine's brown curls and put her index finger on her chin.
"What is your name?" Donna asked.
"Katherine," Katherine told the woman.
The woman nodded and said, "Well Katherine I have an idea."
"You do?"
"Yes, see you have beautiful curls. You have thick hair and your hair is naturally voluminous."
"I know," Katherine nodded proud of herself.
Donna nodded and said, "So I was thinking that maybe I can give you loose curls."
"Loose curls?" Katherine questioned.
"Yes, I can tell that you don't exactly keep your hair in loose curls most of the time but trust me it will look perfect especially because of your face shape."
"Alright, do it. I could use a change in hair style."
"Fantastic! You are going to look beautiful."
"Thank you," Katherine smiled.
Daniel stood behind Bonnie and studied her hair carefully.
"What would you like to do for your hair, darling?" The man asked.
"I don't exactly know." Bonnie frowned.
"Well I do." Daniel reassured her.
"Really? Do share,"
"Okay, so I am thinking that we dye your hair a lighter brown then it is right now and once that is done I can curl your hair loosely. Would you like side bangs?" He asked.
"That sounds good and yes I would."
"What side?" He asked her.
"Um… Left," Bonnie told him coming to an answer.
He nodded and went to the back to retrieve the lighter brown dye.
"Miss, what would you like to do with your hair?" Natalie, Elena's hair stylist, asked.
"I was thinking about maybe straightening my hair and then curling it at the bottom." Elena told her.
"That is a very good idea." Natalie said.
"Thank you," Elena smiled.
"Now I could do that but would you like to maybe pick up a piece of your hair."
"What do you mean?"
"I have this brooch that I think will do your hair wonders but in order to use it I have to pick up a bit of your hair. Are you interested?" Natalie asked.
"May I see the brooch before I give you my answer?"
"Yes of course! Silly me, I will be back in a moment." Natalie sang as she walked to the back room.
When Natalie found the elegant emerald studded brooch she went back to the room. Natalie handed the brooch to Elena and Elena's eyes widened as she took in the beauty.
"It's beautiful," Elena said out loud.
"It is indeed," Natalie smiled. "Would you like to use it?"
"I would love to but the bridesmaids dresses are beige colored." Elena frowned.
The dresses that Caroline picked out were beautiful, Elena thought and she didn't want to mess up her look by wearing a different colored brooch that probably didn't even match the dress.
"Beige… I do still think that this brooch will fit into your outfit perfectly… Do you have a photograph of the dress?"
Elena thought about it and quickly took out her iPhone.
"I do," Elena said as she went to the pictures and searched for the picture of the five of them at the dress boutique.
Elena showed Natalie the photograph and Natalie looked down at the brooch as well.
"I think it will still match because this brooch is specifically designed with a bit of emerald and a bit of silver." Natalie told her.
"Okay, I really want it so yes by all means." Elena nodded.
"Wonderful! Now come on your friends have already had their hair washed and now it is your turn." Natalie said leading Elena to the sink.
Three hours later the girls had their hair and makeup done. The four stood up and looked at their reflections in the wide mirror.
Caroline's hair was down and loosely curled. Her hair was down the middle and it looked as if her hair was glowing.
"I love it!" Caroline screeched excitedly.
"I knew you would!" Julio beamed at her.
"Thank you so much Julio, I really do appreciate all the effort you put into giving me the perfect hair style for my wedding day." Caroline thanked the talented man.
"You are very welcome Miss Caroline. I hope all goes well tonight." Julio smiled before excusing himself.
The others thanked their hair stylists as well and then they followed Caroline out and into the car. It was time for them to get ready because the wedding was three hours away.
Both Klaus and Caroline decided that they would wait to see one another until they got to the plaza and walked down the aisle. They also decided not to go the traditional way and marry in a church. They would still have a reverend present but the ceremony would take place in the ballroom.
When the girls finally got to their apartment they quickly made their way upstairs.
"Is it going to rain?" Caroline asked as she looked out the window.
The sky that was baby blue moments ago was turning a dark shade of gray. The clouds began to mix together and that had her worried.
"It shouldn't rain… I checked the weather forecast yesterday and then this morning and it said that the sky would be clear and the day would be warm with less humidity." Bonnie told Caroline.
"But what if it starts raining? You know those meteorologists aren't always accurate." Caroline frowned.
"Care, it is not going to start raining." Elena reassured the worried girl and Katherine nodded.
"Caroline do you want some wine? Maybe it'll calm your nerves a bit." Katherine said as she walked over to the liquor cabinet.
"Yes please," Caroline nodded looking away from the window. The whole day her nerves have been on edge and she had to admit that it was exhausting.
Katherine nodded and took out the bottle of red wine. She went into the kitchen and took out four wine glasses.
"Elena come in here!" Katherine called from the kitchen.
"Coming," Elena called back as she walked towards the kitchen.
When Katherine spotted her twin sister she motioned for her to come closer.
"Take two glasses and I'll take the other two." Katherine said as she handed the glasses to her.
"You can say please you know…" Elena muttered.
Katherine rolled her eyes but said please anyway.
"That's better," Elena smiled before walking out of the kitchen with the two wine glasses.
Katherine grinned as she followed Elena out. Elena handed a glass to Bonnie and Katherine handed a glass to Caroline.
"Cheers," The girls said in unison as they clanked their glasses together.
"Bloody hell," Klaus muttered as he watched Kol, Stefan, Elijah, and Finn drink their ways into a stupor.
"Oh look who has finally decided to show his face." Kol said drunkenly as he stared at Klaus.
"What the bloody hell do you think you're doing?" Klaus spat as he narrowed his eyes at the men.
"We're starting the party early." Elijah said as he drank the rest of the scotch down.
"You of all people should be keeping them in check." Klaus told Elijah.
"Eh," Elijah simply said.
"We need to start getting ready for my wedding!" Klaus told the four men annoyed.
"Your wedding isn't for another… oh, two hours." Finn said as he looked down at the watch with a frown on his lips.
"Two hours!?" Stefan yelled.
"Woops… Looks like time got away from us." Kol shrugged.
Klaus bit the inside of his cheek and he almost drew blood as he studied the men angrily.
"Enough drinking," Klaus barked out.
"Join us Niklaus," Elijah said holding out the bottle of scotch to his brother.
"No," Klaus said.
"At least I'm no longer the bore in this family." Elijah said shrugging as he opened the bottle of scotch.
"I said enough drinking!" Klaus growled.
"Shit Klaus, just chill. It will take us like twenty minutes to get dressed." Stefan told his best friend.
"I know but you guys will be too drunk to even comprehend what's going on so I want you all to take a nap." Klaus ordered.
"Why?" Finn whined.
"Because I don't need you passing out. Sleep it off." Klaus said before grabbing the bottles from them and locking the liquor cabinet doors.
"Such a bore and he isn't even married yet…" Kol commented as Klaus was walking away.
Klaus pretended not to hear him and walked away from the drunken party of four.
He was going to marry the love of his life today and that was all that mattered. No drunken men, no foul weather, and no thought of being abandoned as a baby was going to stop him from being happy on this wonderful day.
There you have it! I hope it wasn't to bad and I really hope it wasn't boring...
Now a few points:
-Klaus and Caroline were left as children so they may or may not have family member's running around.
-I chose to make Katherine closer to her father than her mother because it is just how I see it to be honest.
-Now I added in that bit about Katherine calling for Elena to help her out because my twin sister always does that to me when she needs help without saying please -_-
I am thinking about writing a sequel but I need to know if you are interested before I take this step... Just a little background on the sequel is that it is about Klaus' and Caroline's biological families. I really want to write this but I must know that I will have some readers who want to take the next step with me.
One more chapter to go!
