Chapter 10

The next morning the entire house except Elijah, realised that Caroline, Klaus and Kiara weren't up yet. They were concerned at first because Klaus rarely ever gets sleep. They were searching the house after they couldn't find Klaus in his room or Kiara in hers. Rebekah was going into panic mode but Matt was trying to calm her down. Bonnie opened Caroline's door slightly to look inside and that's when she told everyone that they had to see something. They all stepped in Caroline's room to see that Klaus and Kiara were on the bed asleep. They stood at the end of the bed and smiled as they saw Klaus and Caroline at either side of Kiara, also they both had a hand stretched out and their fingers were linked together. Rebekah got her phone out and took a quick picture and Bonnie got Caroline's from the dresser and took a picture.

Caroline's phone made a noise when the picture was taken and that's when they woke up. Klaus looked at them, he was still lied down with his hand still in Caroline's and said "get out of here before" he looked at Rebekah "I dagger you" looked at everyone else "or kill you".

Caroline mumbled "stop threatening family" they all looked at Caroline and couldn't hide the smirks they had.

Rebekah said "we just wanted to admire this cute moment".

Klaus shot Rebekah a warning look and said "Rebekah".

Rebekah rolled her eyes and said "fine" they all then walked out and Bonnie put the phone back on the dresser.

Klaus put his head back on the pillow and looked at Caroline and Kiara. Caroline smiled at him and then said "you shouldn't threaten them you know. Rebekah is your sister".

"Well they shouldn't have come in here then".

Caroline looked at Kiara and said "how is she still asleep?"

Klaus chuckled and said "if she doesn't want to wake up then she won't. For someone who has the senses of a hybrid, it seems she has a way of turning them off when she is asleep".

Caroline brought her head down, so it was next to her ear and said "Kiara...sweetie, come one wake up".

Kiara moaned and started to bring the cover over her head "don't wanna wake up, mummy".

Klaus and Caroline both froze and looked at each other. Klaus then said "Kiara, did you just call Caroline mummy?"

Kiara was silent for a moment but then she brought the cover down just below her eyes and said "I'm sorry, its just your everything I expected in a mummy" Caroline sent her a questioning look "you are kind, you take care of me, your beautiful, you love my daddy and my daddy loves you". Caroline and Klaus were speechless "I really am sorry; you're not going to leave, are you?"

Caroline shook her head with a smile and said "sweetie, I'm not going anywhere. Its fine honestly. Besides, I do love your dad" Caroline glanced at Klaus to see that he had his smirk on his face. This made Caroline roll her eyes.

"Does that mean...I can call you mummy?" Kiara asked nervously.

Caroline glanced at Klaus and could see that he was looking as hopeful as Kiara for her answer "of course, sweetie".

Kiara jumped up and quickly wrapped her arms around Caroline's neck. Klaus laughed and said "I see someone's happy".

Caroline wrapped her arms around Kiara's waist and smiled at Klaus. Kiara said "I love you, mummy".

Caroline patted Kiara's hair down on her back and said "I love you too, sweetie".

Klaus smirked "and where do I come in to this?" he asked pretending to be offended.

Kiara pulled away from Caroline but kept an arm around her neck "because we love you daddy".

Klaus used his hybrid speed to grab them both and pull them towards him. He pulled them both on top of him and said "really?"

Kiara kissed his cheek and said "I love you".

Klaus looked at Caroline and said "what about you, Love?"

Caroline leaned down and said "I love you" she then placed a gentle kiss to his lips.

Kiara jumped over them and said "we have breakfast, come on. Mummy said it's the most important meal of the day" Caroline smiled but then Kiara ran out of the door.

Caroline stood up from the bed and started to walk towards the door, when a pair of arms wrapped around her. Klaus whispered in her ear "you can never leave us" his voice sounded desperate.

She turned around in his arms and could see the fear in his eyes. He wanted to protect Kiara's heart and if Caroline left, she would break it. Caroline knew that he wasn't just desperate for Kiara but also for himself. She knew that he hadn't loved anyone in a thousand and he was putting all his love and trust in her. She kissed his lips delicately and said "where you go, I go. It's just taken me a while to figure it out" he smiled.

Kiara came rushing back into the room and said "come on" they both pulled away from each other and Caroline picked Kiara up and held her on her hip.


When they got downstairs, Elijah was making breakfast and everyone else as usual was rather sat at the counter or at the kitchen table. Kiara sat at the counter watching Elijah, while Caroline went to the fridge and Klaus helped Elijah. Caroline got a few blood bags and poured them into three cups. She handed one to Klaus and he kissed her cheek in thanks but when she handed one to Kiara, Kiara said "than you mummy". Caroline leaned on the counter and smiled and Klaus walked over to her and wrapped an arm around her waist.

It was only then that they noticed that everyone else in the room froze and stared at them. Caroline looked between Stefan, Bonnie and Matt and said "come on guys your not going to give me a lecture are you?"

Bonnie opened and closed her mouth a few times then said "I'm happy for you, Care".

Bonnie and Caroline smiled at each other but then Caroline looked at Stefan and said "Stefan" she wanted his approval as he was like her big brother.

Stefan looked at her and sighed "you better look after her, Klaus" he looked at Klaus. Stefan stood up and said "if you hurt her I will find a way to permanently stick you in your coffin and trap you at the bottom of the ocean".

Klaus knew that when it came to Caroline, Stefan was being serious "you should know, I would never hurt her".

Caroline rolled her eyes and said "Stefan, I can look after myself".

He walked towards her and said "just looking after you sis" he pulled her in for a hug and she smiled.

Klaus looked at Rebekah and Elijah as they were still staring. He said "it's rude to stare".

Elijah glanced between Klaus and Caroline and said "congratulations" he knew that although Kiara was a part of Klaus' redemption, Caroline filled the other half. She was the missing piece that Elijah didn't know existed till now.

Rebekah looked at Caroline and said "it's about bloody time. Do you know how long he has been mopping over you for?"

Caroline laughed and Klaus rolled his eyes "speak another word, Bekah, and I'll dagger you".

Rebekah glared at him but then laughed when she saw Caroline doing to same. Caroline said "you will not dagger your siblings".

"Love, trust me if they-" she interrupted.

"Their family, you don't hurt family" they both looked at each other as if they knew what the other was saying.

Everyone in the room, except Kiara, felt uncomfortable. After a few minuets Klaus sighed and said "fine".

Caroline smiled and Rebekah said "I might just like having you around, Caroline".

Kiara looked up at Klaus and Caroline and said "because Stefan is mummy's brother, does that make him my uncle?"

Klaus said "well he's not her real brother but ask your mother".

Kiara looked at Caroline but then Stefan said "come on, Klaus. You use to think of me as your brother back in the 1920s".

Caroline said to Kiara "if Stefan allows it then eyes, he can be your uncle".

Kiara gave Stefan pleading eyes and he said "do I want you to be my niece? Well let's think about this. Your cute, has a good sense of humour and of course your mother is Caroline" he pretended to put on a thinking face which made Kiara nervous. He smiled and said "of course, I'll be your uncle". Kiara jumped out of her place and hugged Stefan.

AN: Early chapter. I'm moving house this Saturday and my mum has only just decided to tell me that I will probably have no internet because it takes a while for it to get connected to the new house or something like that. I'm trying to update as much as possible this week so that you will have something to read and won't be mad if I don't update for like a month or something. Please review
