Here's another part. Just came from randomness much like everything else. no beta still. thanks for reading and favoriting.
Klaus was inside his room, he was holding a shoebox in his lap. Inside were random things to anyone else, but to him they were special. There were a few drawings inside. There was a piece of candy from Halloween. There was a pink ribbon inside from Caroline's pigtails. There was a leaf that was orange and drying out. There was a small branch from the Christmas tree. His small fingers ran over the pines of the branch and he smiled. He heard someone coming towards his room and quickly put the lid on the box and hid it under the bed.
Katherine opened the door and looked inside, she saw Klaus hiding something under the bed.
"What are you doing?" Katherine asked as she walked in
"Nothing"
"What are you hiding?"
"Nothing"
"You don't have to be afraid of me, I'm just a girl you know"
"But you're a grown up"
Katherine laughed.
"I'm just bigger and older than you, but I'm not a grown up. Your brother is a grown up"
"What about me?" Elijah said walking in
"That you're a responsible grown up" Katherine teased
"i suppose I am" Elijah said
"So grown up, are you going to the Lockwood's New Years Eve party?" Katherine asked
"No, I've declined twice already"
"She likes you"
"i've noticed"
"So why aren't you going?"
"Because I'm not interested in her, and she's quite aggressive"
"Yeah, that happens when your husband leaves you"
"I thought she threw him out"
"He said she said, but he left her. She's a bit clingy and that's so unattractive. But I'll stay here with Klaus while you go"
"That won't be necessary"
"And have you stay here with us when you could be out there? Perish the thought! You should get dressed"
"No I'm fine where I am. Besides you shouldn't stay, you should go out"
"what kind of babysitter would I be if I just up and left? Besides I live here"
"I know"
"Don't be like that. We've been through this. I'm just gonna stay here and take of Klaus while you got to school. I'll be gone when you're done"
"It's not that"
"Then what is it?"
"The neighbors-"
"Screw the neighbors"
"Language!"
Katherine turned to Klaus.
"Klaus go watch tv" Katherine said
Klaus walked out and went into the living room.
"Who cares what everyone thinks or says? I'm his babysitter, so I live here too, what's wrong with that?
"You're underage, I don't want them to think-"
"Nothing's happening, You're a lawyer, you know better"
"Law student"
"Future lawyer, anyways, nothing's happened anyways, the only time we're both here is when we're both sleeping, you worry too much, you'll get wrinkles on your pretty face"
Katherine walked out of the room and headed for the kitchen.
Caroline looked out the window and up at the stars. She touched the snowflake necklace on her neck and smiled. She went out in the living room where she saw her mom getting ready to leave.
"Mommy, where are you going?" Caroline asked
"I have to go to work honey."
"I can watch the ball drop!"
"No you can't, it'll be past your bedtime"
"You never let me have any fun!"
"Caroline, please"
"No! I wanna watch the ball drop!"
"Caroline, stop it!"
"No!"
"Caroline! Stop it right now!"
Caroline looked down and pouted.
"Look, I have to go to work, but I've asked Elijah to watch over you while I'm gone"
"Really?!"
"Yes, you're going to have a sleepover with Nik tonight"
"Yay! Sleepover!"
"I've already packed your things, go get your shoes and I'll take you over"
"Sleepover!" Caroline yelled as she ran back to her room
Klaus was in his room again changing into his pajamas. He heard someone walking to his room again. He looked up and the door opened and it was Caroline. She smiled at him.
"Hi Nik! We're having a sleepover!" Caroline said as she ran into the room
Klaus smiled at her. Caroline put her bag down and hugged him.
"Happy New year!" Caroline said
Caroline let go of Klaus and then took off her jacket and then jumped onto his bed. She started jumping on the bed.
Klaus watched her for a second.
"Cmon! It's fun!" Caroline said
Klaus jumped onto his bed and started jumping with her. The two started laughing.
Elijah heard the kids laughing and wondered what was going on. Katherine looked over at him.
"They're kids, not horny teenagers. I doubt Caroline can corrupt Klaus just yet" Katherine said
"She's too young for him"
"Only by a few months"
Klaus and Caroline continued jumping on the bed laughing. Caroline grabbed a pillow and hit Klaus with it.
"pillow fight!" caroline yelled
Klaus grabbed another pillow and hit Caroline back. They stopped jumping and started hitting each other with the pillows. Katherine opened the door and saw the two hitting each other with pillows. She stood there until the two kids saw them and stopped.
"Don't stop on my account. keep going." Katherine said
Caroline dropped the pillow and Klaus did the same.
"Cmon, let's go brush your teeth" katherine said
"But I want to watch the ball drop!" Caroline said
"Honey you'll have plenty of time to do that when you're old, and then you'll have to realize the guy next to you who you're about to kiss isn't worth it" Katherine said
"huh?" Caroline said
"Nevermind"
Elijah had the tv on while looking over his notes. Katherine walked in after putting the kids to sleep and getting something to drink.
"it's almost time for the ball to drop" Katherine said
"Is it now?"
"Yes, are you always this uptight?"
"I'm studying"
"You have tomorrow off"
"I'm still studying"
"Hopefully the coming year will be better for us"
"It will be"
Elijah stood up and and walked over to the tv, watching the ball light up.
"i really don't understand why people watch this"
"Me neither, it makes new year's eve seem less depressing and more exciting"
The sound of the crowds cheering and counting down could be heard through the tv. They both watched the ball drop and then looked at each other.
"Happy New Year" Katherine said
"Happy New-" Elijah said before he was cut off by Katherine's lips on his
Caroline and Klaus lay in bed. Caroline slept next to Klaus, drifting away into sleep. Klaus was falling asleep as well.
"I really like you Nik" Caroline said hazily
"Me too, you're my only friend"
"Don't leave me, everyone leaves me"
"I won't leave you"
"Promise?"
"Promise"
Klaroline is the only ship! Even if they are little kids! Thanks for reading!
