Hey Everyone! Thank-you for all the wonderful reviews! I tried to write this chapter as soon as I could. Enjoy :)
The drive to the doctor's office was in complete silence. Caroline waited for Klaus to start the conversation but he didn't say anything. Klaus was confused. It was still hard to wrap his head around the fact that Caroline was having his children. He hated the fact that everyone around him knew what was going on except him. Elijah and Rebekah remembered everything and now he had to put his trust in his siblings and the facts that were presented. Then he desperately wanted to know how she got into his head. He could tell from her eyes that she knew what she was doing. However, from what he knew, it was difficult for any vampire to get into an original's head. Klaus looked over at Caroline and saw her patting her tummy which definitely showed from the fitted shirt she was wearing. She saw him looking and smiled. He smiled back. He wondered why she didn't say anything; she was not one to sit quiet. They had arrived at the clinic. Klaus helped Caroline out of the car. She walked a bit almost tripped when Klaus caught a hold of her. He placed his hands around her waist and walked along side.
"Be careful, love," he said.
"Thanks, I'm really starting to lose my hybrid balance," Caroline said as she looked at him. He loved the way her eyes sparkled and how her face glowed as she smiled at him.
"No problem, come on," Klaus said.
They walked in and let the receptionist know they were there for Dr. Fell. She gave Klaus a clipboard with a form and asked them to sit down. Dr. Fell had asked them to come to the pregnancy clinic so all the equipment would be available. Klaus looked around and found many other couples sitting around in the waiting room. It felt so strange being there. He looked down at the form.
Women's Name: Caroline Forbes
The following asked for her phone number, address and health card number. He filled out everything he knew.
"Caroline, do you have a health card number?" Klaus asked.
"Yes, here," she dug into her purse and took out her wallet. She pulled out her health card and handed it to him. He wrote down the number and gave it back to her. The next section asked for Partner's name and their information.
Klaus stared at it for a moment. He never had to fill out any like this before. Should he write Klaus Mikaelson or Niklaus Mikaelson? He could tell Caroline was tensing up as she looked over his shoulder.
Partner's Name: Niklaus Mikaelson
He filled out the rest of his information. He felt her relax a bit. The next part asked for pregnancy history, last menstrual period date and other health stuff.
"I don't know the date, I mean there wasn't a calendar back then," Caroline said. Klaus smirked. It was a tough tangle to figure out what day in the past was in the present.
After he was done filling out the form he gave it to the receptionist and sat down. Klaus couldn't believe he was in a pregnancy clinic. He looked at Caroline as he walked back to her. She was chatting with the couple that was seated on the chairs in front of them. The woman looked really big.
"How far are you?" Caroline asked.
"Six months," she replied happily.
"Wow, you look like you're way ahead," Caroline said as Klaus came and sat down beside her. The couple smiled at him and he smiled back.
"Yes, it's because they're twins," she smiled.
"Wow, that's wonderful! My sister-in-law had twins too," Caroline said. The lady smiled.
"Are far are you?" the lady asked.
"Thirteen weeks," Caroline said.
"Really? Because you look farther than that," the lady said.
"We're having triplets," Caroline said.
"Wow! Three? Are you two ready? I mean Jim and I are nervous about these two and you two look very young. How old are you?" she said.
Caroline looked at Klaus who looked back. They were young. She was seventeen when she was turned even though her birthday was just around the corner. She did the math to find that Klaus was only twenty-two when he was turned a thousand years ago.
"Twenty-five and he's twenty-seven," she lied and winked at Klaus. At least it was better than seventeen. Last thing she wanted was to be called a teen mom. Klaus smiled at her lie. The lady didn't say anything after that. Caroline reached out and held his hand. He then heard her voice in his head.
"I know that was a bad lie but I just didn't want her to judge us," she said. Klaus scrunched up his eyebrows looking at her.
"How did she do that?" he thought.
"I can hear you!" he heard her voice in his head. This time he directly thought what he was going to say to her.
"How are we able to do that?" he thought.
"I'm not quite sure. I think it's a mate thing. I've noticed that it's clearer when there's skin contact though. Without contact, it's faint and barely audible," he heard her.
"It makes sense. In werewolves, the mates do have that kind of connection but only after bonding," he thought.
"Bonding?" Caroline thought. Klaus thought of him biting her and her biting him.
"It's claiming one's mate," he thought. Caroline blushed.
Klaus couldn't look past this. They were mates because only true mate could have this kind of connection. He had found out about way back in the fifteenth century when he met a werewolf and his mate who was a witch. She had explained to him how it worked. He saw that Caroline crossed her legs one way and then the other way. She was getting fidgety.
"Are you okay?" he thought.
"Yah, it's just that Dr. Fell told me to drink lots of fluid because I need a full bladder for an ultrasound," she thought. Klaus understood. Just then they heard Caroline's name being called. They walked into the checkup room. They heard the couple whispering after they had.
"She looks amazing at thirteen weeks and she's having triplets. I remember I gained so much weight by then. I mean look at them, they look like models who have walked out of a photo shoot for Elle or Vogue magazine," the lady whispered to her husband. Caroline and Klaus smiled at what they heard.
Caroline sat down on the stretcher that was surrounded by different equipment. Klaus sat down on the chair beside her. Dr. Fell walked into the door and closed it behind her.
"Hello," she greeted.
"Hi!" Caroline said. Klaus smiled. But when Dr. Fell saw Klaus her eyes became wide like she was shocked. She quickly recomposed her face.
"Okay, let's get started. I don't know if this is going work because you are a hybrid but let's try anyway," Dr. Fell said. "I'm just going lift up your shirt."
Dr. Fell lifted Caroline's shirt up to reveal the bump. Klaus didn't know what to do; was he supposed to stay there or leave? But then Caroline reached out her hand and held his.
"I want you to stay," he heard her voice. He nodded. Dr. Fell squirted out some green goop from a tube onto Caroline stomach. She took a white device that was joined to the machine and used it to smear the green goop all over her stomach. There were images on the screen.
"It works!" Dr. Fell said. They looked at the screen and saw three spaces each one showing a little head. They couldn't believe their eyes.
"They're beautiful," Caroline said. Klaus smiled unable to say anything. This kind of emotion was different, something he had never experienced before. After about fifteen minutes of examination, Dr. Fell turned the equipment off.
"Seems like everything is okay. Their heart beats are strong. Sorry, I didn't ask but did you want to know the sex of the babies?" Dr. Fell asked.
"Umm, I don't know. I mean we haven't discussed that," she looked at Klaus.
"Well you guys can talk about it and if you want I can check the next time you come for a checkup," Dr. Fell said.
"Is there anything we should keep in mind?" Klaus asked.
"Nothing much, just make sure she eats well, gets plenty of both activity and rest and absolutely no stress. Triplets tend to come premature so she has to be very careful. I can't say much because my knowledge applies to humans but that's about it," she said. Then she gave them the ultrasound pictures. They booked their next appointment and left.
Klaus pulled into the drive in front of the Salvatore house. He parked the car and looked over at Caroline. She was still looking at the ultrasound pictures. He was about to get out when she grabbed his hand.
"Thank-you," she said out loud.
"For what love?" Klaus said.
"For coming with me. For believing me. I mean I know how hard this is for you. It's like not even remembering how you got a girl pregnant with triplets after a drunken night or something. I don't want to push you into this but I really appreciate your support," she said.
"Caroline you don't have to say thank-you for anything," Klaus said. "We'll figure this out together and like you said, it'll make sense," Klaus said. He didn't know how to explain his feelings. He was never the one to share. Then he realized that she was holding onto him so she just heard his thoughts.
"I know," she said and then got out.

"How about this one?" Stefan said as he looked at a shiny, midnight blue car. It was a Ford that could seat five people.
"No," Rebekah said. Stefan was flustered. This was the twentieth car she had rejected. They had been looking for a car for so long. They had left the kids with Bonnie, Caroline and Klaus. Then Rebekah pointed at a 2013 model of a four door silver jaguar.
"That one!" she said.
"Of course," Stefan said. Rebekah had expensive taste but money wasn't a problem. So he went over to the salesman bought the car. After all the paperwork was done, the salesman handed over the keys. Stefan drove his car while Rebekah drove the new one home.

Caroline tried to reach for the baby's bib that was on the top shelf in the wardrobe. Why did Rebekah have to put a baby's bib on the top shelf? Then a hand came over her's and brought it down. She turned around to find Klaus standing in front of her.
"You could have asked for help," Klaus smirked.
"I could've got it myself," Caroline said as she turned around and closed the wardrobe door.
"Clearly it would have taken you forever, love. Why don't you just admit it that you needed my assistance?" he smiled. Caroline pouted and looked at him. She realized how close he was to her and all she wanted to do was close the gap between them. She wanted to feel his hands on her body. She moved in closer so that her lips were only an inch away from his. His deep blue eyes gazed into hers realizing what she was doing. She felt his breath on her lips. She moved even closer to him.
Klaus looked down at her as she moved closer to him. Her rosy pinks lips tempted him as they ghosted over his. He leaned in until his lips touched hers merely brushing against them. The last time she kissed him it was just an experiment but this time her intentions seemed different. She took his bottom lip into hers and he couldn't help but respond. He felt confused. He had wanted this more than ever but felt like things were moving a little fast. He knew her thoughts were that they were moving too fast but she didn't care. It was as if her body controlled her. He hands went around her waist and her hands knotted into his hair. A moan escaped her lips and her hands went under his shirt and felt up his chest. It was as if her hand ignited fire when they touched his skin. Her hands came out and pushed his jacket off as they went around his neck pulling him closer.
"Caroline, did you find it?" Bonnie yelled from the living room. They broke the kiss but held onto each other. They were both out of breath.
"Yah I found it. I'll go give her the bib," Caroline said as she walked out of the room.
Klaus picked up his jacket and put it on. He stood there in the nursery for a bit reminiscing about what had just happened. During their make out session, even though images flashed across his mind, he even got to know Caroline's feelings. He felt so loved and wanted. It wasn't just their minds but even their bodies had some kind of gravitational pull towards each other.

Rebekah and Stefan had come home with their new car. At first sight, Klaus knew it was Rebekah's choice. Now it was time to go prom dress shopping. Klaus didn't care much for it but if it made Caroline happy, he would go.
They arrived at the boutique. Stefan and Klaus sat down on two chairs in front of the dressing rooms. The stroller was in between with the twins peacefully sleeping. First Rebekah came out wearing a fitted a-line deep purple dress.
"Well, what do you think?" she said.
"It's nice," Stefan said. Rebekah glared at him.
"Right. So let me remind you that I can always tell when you're lying, Stefan," Rebekah said and went back into the dressing room. Next Bonnie came out wearing a black gown type dress with a sweetheart neckline.
"Looks nice Bonnie," Stefan said.
"He's lying," Rebekah called from the dressing room.
"Very witchy," Klaus said. Bonnie rolled her eyes and walked back. Caroline came out wearing a red gown. It was fitted up to her waist and then it flared out. It had a sweetheart neckline and was beautifully beaded. She came out and stood in front of the mirror. She pouted when she looked at herself in the mirror.
"Awww man, I'm showing," she said. Klaus looked at her. The bright red went wonderfully with her skin tone. She classy and he totally looked past the baby bump.
"You look beautiful Caroline," Klaus said.
"I agree sis," Stefan said. Caroline smiled. Rebekah came out wearing a turquoise mermaid style dress with exquisite beading.
"Wow," Stefan said without realizing it. Rebekah smirked. She looked at Caroline.
"That red looks amazing on you," she said.
"I know but I don't want to show for prom. They will obviously get bigger by the time it's prom," she said. "By the way, that dress looks amazing on you Bekah."
"Thanks, I think I like this one too," Rebekah said. Bonnie came out wearing a white a-line dress with a sweetheart neckline.
"Bonnie that dress looks amazing on you," Caroline said.
"Thanks Care. I think so too," Bonnie said. Caroline went back into the dressing room and came out wearing a yellow ball gown type dress. It had a sweet heart neck line and it flared out by her stomach.
"Care, that one's perfect," Rebekah said. Everyone nodded in agreement. She looked at Klaus who was admiring her in that colour. It was so her. It displayed her radiance. He nodded.
"Okay, I'm getting this one," Caroline said. All three girls went back to the dressing room to get out of their dress. Just then Stefan's phone rang. They all heard the Sheriff's clear voice.
"Stefan, I was trying to reach Damon but couldn't get through," she said. "We found twelve bodies in the forest. By the looks of it, it seems that they were brutally murdered."
"Where about in the forest?" Stefan asked.
"It's not far from the old Lockwood cellar," the Sheriff said.
"Okay, we'll be right there," Stefan said. "Rebekah, you and Caroline go home, we'll meet you there. Bonnie I think you should come with us."
"You know what this means right?" Klaus said. "The triangle is complete."
"The third massacre happened?" Bonnie said. Stefan nodded.
"I don't think this is the place to discuss it," Rebekah said.
"Let's go," Stefan said.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Klaus, Stefan and Bonnie arrived at the place where the twelve bodies were found. They looked at the bodies.
"They were found here yesterday night. There was no sign that these were vampires though. I mean by looking at them, it was as if they were cut straight down the middle," the Sheriff said.
"They're human?" Stefan said.
"No, they're witches," Bonnie said. "I can feel their spirits. It was Silas."
"The triangle is done. The distance from here to the Lockwood cellar and Pasteur Young's farmhouse is exactly the same," Klaus said.
"This changes everything," Bonnie said.
"What do you mean?" Stefan asked.
"I'll explain when we get back," Bonnie said.
"Well this is an easy story to cover up because they weren't from this town but still, we have twelve bodies here," the Sheriff said.
"Don't worry about the bodies, we'll take care of them," Klaus said. The Sheriff nodded and left.
After Stefan had come back with two shovels, they dug twelve graves and buried the bodies. They made their way home.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Finally, you guys are back!" Caroline said as they walked through the front door. All of them had a gloomy look on their face. "What happened?"
"The twelve bodies belonged to twelve witches," Klaus said as he sat down on the couch.
"Bonnie, you said that this changes everything, what did you mean by that?" Stefan asked.
"Silas is playing a two way game. If one doesn't succeed other one will. If he finds a witch who can do the spell for him, he won't need to kill the hunters. However, if he manages to kill the hunters first, he doesn't need a witch. Now the question is which will occur first, a witch who is willing to take on expression or killing four hunters," Bonnie said.
"How can we stop him from finding a witch?" Caroline said.
"We can't. It's impossible because he can take any form at will," Rebekah said.
"I know witches will not easily give in to take on expression. They know how dangerous it is," Bonnie said.
"But he's very manipulative. I mean he got into Klaus's head," Caroline said.
"You're right. Is there any other way we can stop him from opening the gates to hell on earth?" Klaus said.
"I don't know but I'm going to start looking through old grimoires," Bonnie said.
"Bonnie, why don't you them here, we can help you look and Nik can you bring mother's grimoires back from wherever you sent them. I calling Tasha," Rebekah said.
