Hey Everyone! Thank-you all for leaving your amazing review. I get so motivated and excited to write the next chapter when I see them. Just to clarify, when Stefan and Caroline first arrived in the past, Ayana did a spell so them being in the past wont change the future. But she did say that if was not very powerful and that's why Klaus and Rebekah keep having dream but they can't remember them when they wake up. If you have any questions please PM me or ask in your review. Here is my next chapter! :)
In the present
Klaus sat by the fire place as he sipped on his drink. He couldn't help but think about Caroline over and over again. He constantly tried to find thing to do just so he can keep her out of his mind. It had been fourteen days since the day she disappeared. He couldn't get himself to think that she was dead. He didn't know why he had such strong feelings for her. Never in a thousand years has he ever come across someone who got past his empty heart and shined light into his darkened soul. After she was gone, he kept having these feelings like he was missing something important in his life. As the days passed, the feeling got deeper. He wanted to desperately know what was happening to him. He had never had this kind of feeling ever before. He had seen Rebekah stare off when she's alone, and wanted to ask if she was feeling the same thing. Was it an original thing? Or was this due to being vampires or hybrids? The questions kept running through his mind. But, he didn't want to ask because that would mean he would have to share his feelings. He wasn't the type to talk about his feelings.
On top of that, he had been having dreams every night but when he woke up, the dreams would also vanish. No matter how hard he tried to hold onto them, he couldn't. He knew he would have to go to a witch sometime soon, but right now he had other priorities. He was waiting for Katherine to bring the cure to him and he had to find a way to kill the Bennett witch.

Back to the past
Caroline waited for Klaus in the field. The twins were a day old and in perfect health. She woke up many times during the night from their cries. She felt worse for Rebekah and Stefan who probably hadn't slept all night. She sat down under a nearby tree. Her body felt so tired and she ended up sleeping a lot. It was probably because she was pregnant. Caroline put her hand over her belly noticed that it was starting to pouch out. She was going to tell him today, she was nervous about how he would take it.
Nik was supposed to talk to Mikael, who had arrived yesterday evening. Mikael came by to see the twins and Rebekah last night and seemed like he was in a great mood. She fervently hoped everything went well. She saw Nik walking towards her. She waved indicating where she was. He came and sat down beside her.
"Good morning, love." He said and placed a kiss on her lips.
"Morning." She smiled back at him. "So...have you talked to Mikael?" She asked.
"I tried, but he avoided me." Nik said.
"Nik, you need to tell him! We need to get married." Caroline said panicked. Nik looked at her confused. She wasn't in a rush before.
"Caroline, I'm trying to talk to him." Nik said.
"Nik, if you can't talk to him. Just announce it. He would have to listen then." Caroline said. Her voice was getting frustrated and she was getting teary. She looked away. Nik held her chin and turned her head to face him.
"Sweetheart, what is going on?" Nik asked.
"I'm...I'm pregnant." Caroline whispered and looked down. She peeked at his look at his face. He looked shocked and then when the information started to sink in, his expression changed. "Are you upset?"
"No, love. This is great news. You are right, we must get married." Nik smiled. "I'll announce our wedding tonight. I promise. It does not matter what my father says anymore." Nik hugged her. She was glad he took it well. "When did you find out?" Nik asked.
"Yesterday, but I am three months in." She said.
"They should be coming soon." Nik said.
"Are you sure you are okay?" Caroline said. He was so calm and collected. Usually, guys his age would be freaking out that they got their girlfriends pregnant without meaning to.
"Yes love. I have always dreamed about having a family with you and now that dream is coming true!" Nik said and smiled even more. He looked excited but she could tell that he was still a little worried about Mikael's reaction.
That night, Nik announced in front of the Mikaelsons, Stefan and Rebekah that they were getting married. Mikael walked off right after but everyone else came up and congratulated them.
"Do not worry about your father, Niklaus. I will talk to him." Ester said before she went to Stefan and Rebekah.
Nik was glad everything went smoothly. Even his mother was going to help convince his father. He looked at Caroline. She looked ecstatic; she was surrounded by Kol and Henrik who were joking with her about being their sister-in-law. She was glowing. Nik was surprised that he hadn't noticed it before.

Ester had called Stefan and Rebekah to go with her to Ayana's house. Once they arrived at her house, Ester explained how she was going to do a spell on the babies to protect them from any harm, magical or otherwise. Ayana and Ester joined hands and started to chant in latin. Their other hand was placed on the babies. Stefan could feel some kind of force enveloping the babies. Soon the spell was over and Ester said they could return home. Ester took Arianna from Stefan's hands and started to walk back home with Rebekah. Stefan started to follow when he heard Ayana called him.
"I think you forgot this." She said holding up his blade. Stefan walked back to get it from her. As she handed the blade to him she whispered, "Come back tonight and bring Caroline. We have something to discuss." Stefan nodded and walked back to the Mikaelsons. He couldn't help but think that he would regret this.

"My turn to hold, Kol the second." Kol said as he took Aden from Elijah's hands. "Hi there Kol, I am your favourite Uncle." Kol said.
"His name is Aden and I do not want him to be like you." Rebekah said. Kol smirked.
"Just let him grow up a little. He'll be just like me." Kol said and then winked.
Stefan took the chance and pulled Caroline aside. All the Mikaelsons seemed to be absorbed in the two new members of the family.
"What's going on?" Caroline asked. She could tell that something was wrong from Stefan's face.
"Ayana called us tonight." Stefan said grimly.
"No." Caroline said as reality struck.
"I know, but she said she has something to discuss." Stefan said. Caroline just nodded with teary eyes. She couldn't get herself to say anything. Everything seemed to be falling apart right in front of their eyes. She was going to get married.
"I don't want to leave." She sobbed.
"I know. Let's see what Ayana has to say." Stefan said as he pulled her into a hug.
"Stefan." Caroline said.
"Yes."
"There's something else. I'm pregnant." She said. Stefan looked at her and then smiled.
"Does Klaus know?" He asked. Caroline nodded.
"I just told him today. What are we going to do? Aden and Arianna? We can't leave them here. The Mikaelsons are going to turn." Caroline said.
"I know. We have to talk to Ayana, we'll figure something out." Stefan said. Caroline agreed.

That night Stefan told Rebekah that he and Caroline were just going for a walk and would be back shortly. Caroline told her that she was going to tell Stefan that she was pregnant. Rebekah wished her good luck. She had no idea what was actually happening. Stefan and Caroline walked to Ayana's house in silence. They reached her house and she invited them in.
"Please have a seat." Ayana said. Caroline and Stefan sat down. "I have finally acquired enough power to send you back to your time. In two days time, the day before the full moon, I can send you back." Ayana said.
"Ayana, so much has changed since we came. We are settled here." Stefan said.
"I understand Stefan, but you must go back to your time. Nature must be balanced." Ayana said.
"Then the children come with us." Caroline said as she stood up.
"I cannot send the kids with you." Ayana said. "They are from this time and I cannot take new borns way from their mother. That would against nature and the spirits."
"But they will see their mother again. You must understand that there is more that is about to happen here and it will affect the future." Caroline said.
"I told you that I do not want to know about the future." Ayana said firmly.
"Well, please just take our word for it. Rebekah will see her children again and they will not have aged from the time they left her." Caroline said.
Ayana looked at her for a moment. She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I will send the new borns with you for that I need more power. You will need to tell Rebekah." Ayana said.
"We can't tell her." Stefan said. Rebekah would never allow him to take the babies.
"If you want to take the babies with you, then you must tell her because I will have to channel power from her." Ayana said. "Nature follows rules. If I have to send them with you then Rebekah has to give her permission by allowing her powers to be channeled." Ayana explained.
"How can you channel power from Rebekah? She's not a witch." Stefan said.
"It's because she has the ability to be one. Magical blood from her mother still runs through her veins." Ayana said.
"Is there no other way?" Caroline asked. How were they going to tell Rebekah? She would be heartbroken and there was no way she would let the babies go.
"No, there is no other way." Ayana said.
Stefan and Caroline sat there thinking about what to do. How were they going to explain to Rebekah that they were from the future and they needed to go back?
"Ayana, there is something else." Caroline said.
"What is it?" Ayana asked.
"I'm pregnant." Caroline said. "Will you be able to send me back safely with my baby?" Caroline asked.
Ayana looked at her for a brief second, then took out her grimoire and started looking through it.
"I can. I just need the father's blood willingly given." Ayana said. "Once you are sent to your time, I will erase all memories of you from this time period so no one will remember you."
"How will we remind them when we get back?" Stefan asked.
"You must find a way. There are always loop holes." Ayana said.
Stefan and Caroline looked at each other. They were in the same boat. Both of them needed to tell their significant other about the situation. They got up and were about to leave.
"Please meet me here after sunset on the day before the full moon. This is your only chance; otherwise you will permanently disrupt the balance leading to change of future events. Also, bring any objects that may remind them of you. This is essential." Ayana warned.
Stefan and Caroline nodded and left. They walked back home in silence.
"We'll have to tell them." Caroline said.
"I know. We only have a day, technically." Stefan said.
That night, neither Stefan nor Caroline could sleep. Both were trying to think of ways of telling Rebekah and Klaus. They both dreaded it. They didn't want to leave them. In the morning, both ate breakfast in silence. Rebekah noticed the hostility and thought it was because Stefan found out Caroline was pregnant before her and Nik got married.
"Stefan, let it go." Rebekah said.
"Huh?" Stefan didn't know what she was talking about.
"I know you are upset that she is pregnant before marriage, but its okay because they are going to get married." Rebekah said.
"It's not that." Stefan said.
"Then what is it?" Rebekah asked. She looked tensed.
"When will Nik be here?" Stefan asked.
"Soon. He said he would be here after breakfast." Rebekah said. Stefan nodded and then said nothing. Rebekah looked really confused. He had never behaved like this before.
Soon Nik walked in through the front door. He kissed Caroline who looked teary and sat down beside Stefan.
"Caroline, can you please shut the front door." Stefan asked. Caroline quickly shut the front door and came to sit beside Rebekah.
"There is something we need to tell you." Stefan said. Nik looked confused and then he looked at Rebekah who also had the same expression on her face.
"Nik remember when I asked you whether you believed in time travel." Caroline said. Nik nodded. It was just a curious question from what he remembered. "Well, there is such a thing." Caroline said.
"What?" Nik and Rebekah said at the same time.
"Yes, there is such magic that will take you through time." Stefan said.
"How do you know?" Rebekah asked.
"Because..." Caroline couldn't finish.
"It's because, we are from a different time." Stefan said. Now Nik and Rebekah were really shocked.
"How could that be?" Nik asked.
Caroline started to explain how Bonnie was doing a cleansing spell and somehow they got transported through time. She told them that they were from the future. After while, Rebekah and Nik looked like they believed them but they still had many questions.
"So why are you telling us now?" Rebekah asked. Stefan dreaded this the most. This is when he had to tell her that he had to leave her in a day.
"It's because Ayana has acquired enough power to send us back to our time and restore nature's balance." Stefan said.
"No!" Rebekah stood up. She was in tears.
"I will not let you two leave. I do not care a bullocks about nature's balance." Klaus said as he also got up.
"I am not letting you leave me." Rebekah cried.
"We don't want to leave, but we have to." Caroline cried.
"There must be another way. We can talk to mother. She will surely figure something out." Klaus said. He had just found true love and there was no way he was going to let go of her.
"We can't tell your mother." Caroline said.
"There's more." Stefan said.
"What more is there?" Rebekah asked.
"We meet in the future." Stefan said.
"What? What year are you from?" Klaus asked.
"Two thousand thirteen." Caroline answered.
"That's a thousand years away. How could we meet then?" Klaus said.
"That's the other part of the truth. In the next year, your will turn you into immortal beings called vampires." Stefan said.
Klaus and Rebekah stared at them for a moment. Then all four just sat in silence. Stefan finally built up the courage to talk again.
"Bekah, I have to take the kids." Stefan said. Rebekah looked shocked, hurt and angry all simultaneously.
"No! I will not let you take my children away from me." Rebekah got up angrily and started to walk away.
"Rebekah please just listen for a moment. Once you become immortal you will not be able to have children. If Stefan takes them to the future, you will get to see them again and they will be only a week old." Caroline said. Rebekah came back to them.
"Explain." She said. Caroline explained to her about being vampires and how they can't bear children. She also explained how the twin will not have grown a bit when she sees them again.
"I need your permission to take the children with me by allowing Ayana to channel you. I give you my word that you will see our children again." Stefan said. Rebekah remained quiet but it seemed like she was caving.
"What about us love? And our child?" Klaus asked.
"Ayana also needs to channel through you and she needs your blood to take our baby through time safely." Caroline said. "I promise you will be there when our baby is born."
The atmosphere in the home was solemn, as if someone had died. Slowly, Stefan got up and started collecting things that needed to be take back with them. The sketches Klaus had drawn and the portrait carvings. Caroline explained how they needed to take everything that was related to them. Stefan even went back to the cave where he covered up his name and Caroline's name with type of dirt that camouflaged with the cave walls.
Everything was ready; they had a bag packed with all their memories. It only contained all the sketches Klaus had made, the sword from the wedding, the carved portraits and the neck ring. They burned all their clothes and anything else that contained their memory. The house would just stand there isolated. Caroline and Stefan went to the Mikaelsons one last time before they had to leave. They tried to mingle as if nothing was wrong. They said good-byes to everyone. Caroline cried when she had to say good-bye to Henrik and Kol. She wouldn't see her two best friends in the future because they had already died. Stefan said his good-byes to his buddy. There was a reason he had decided to name his son after Kol. All four walked back to the 'Forbes' house. Nik took Caroline's hand.
"Come with me." Klaus said. Caroline nodded and followed. Stefan and Rebekah went home.
He took her to the field where they slept under the stars after their first night together. Klaus helped Caroline to the ground and lie down. He lied down beside her. He took her hand and kissed it.
"Why did you not finish telling me about the time travelling the first time you mentioned it?" Nik asked.
"I wanted to, but then I thought that Ayana had not gained enough power anyways so we would get to stay here." Caroline said as she looked into his blue eyes. Klaus nodded and looked back at the star-filled sky.
"Tell me about the future." Nik said. "Are we lovers?"
"Well, no not yet. But you were pursuing me." Caroline said. Nik smiled. He gently placed his hand on her belly.
"You promise I will be there when our child is born, right?" Nik said.
"I promise. And do you promise to marry me once we are in the future?" Caroline asked.
"I promise." Nik said as he crushed his lips to her.
His hands went down her sides gliding over her curves. Caroline moaned and her lips parted giving him access. Quickly, their clothes were removed and he pushed into her. Caroline was on her high. She had been so horny lately. They started to move together. Nik kissed her neck and then her lips again. Her fingers tangled into his long sandy blonde hair.
"I will always love you Caroline." Nik said as they were about to reach their climax.
"I will always love you Nik." Caroline said as they came.

At home, Rebekah held onto her two babies. She cried as she rocked them to sleep. Stefan came up from behind her and hugged her. He kissed her forehead and held her close to him. She sat in his arms on the bed with the babies all night.
The morning sun rose and the day had finally come. All four sat in silence for breakfast. Henrik came over and played with the babies for a while and then left. During lunch, Kol came over started telling them about a new girl he had met and how Mikael was allowing him to court her. Later, Elijah came to call Kol for the fishing trip. Soon the sun began to set. Rebekah and Caroline had silent tears rolling down their cheeks. They made their way to Ayana's house. Once they got there, Stefan knocked on the door and Ayana slowly opened it.
"Come in." She said. All four walked into the small house. "Let us start. Caroline and Stefan, please take one child in your arms." Caroline picked up Aden and Stefan picked up Arianna. "Now link one of your arms and hold onto the baby. Rebekah please put that bag onto Stefan's arm." Ayana instructed.
Rebekah did as she was told.
"Niklaus, please come over here." Ayana said. "I need your blood so I may safely send your to-be-born child through time." Niklaus went to her and she cut his hand to drain some blood into a container. She held it in her hands and muttered in latin. After a moment, she gave the container back to Klaus and said, "Make her drink it." Klaus looked sickened by the thought of drinking blood.
"Nik, it's okay." Caroline said. He tipped the container to her mouth and she drank it.
"What about my babies?" Rebekah asked.
"They will be fine. Ester has put a very powerful protection spell over them." Ayana said. "It's time. Rebekah and Niklaus, give me your hands." Ayana said.
Rebekah walked over to Stefan and Caroline and caressed her two babies. She kissed them on their heads. Then she kissed Stefan on his lips. She kissed Caroline on the cheek and took Ayana's hand. Nik kissed the twins and Caroline. He patted Stefan on the back and also took Ayana's hand.
"Rebekah and Niklaus link hands. We need to form a circle around them." Ayana said.
Once that was done, Ayana started chanting in latin. Caroline and Stefan felt like they were once again being sucked away by a tornado. They held on tight to each other and the babies.

Stefan felt himself land on his back. He still felt his arm linked to Caroline's. He opened his eyes and felt the vampire traits kick in. Even though the room was dark, he could tell he was in Bonnie's room.
