I know this chapter took a little longer to write than intended, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT! IT TRULY MEANS ALOT!

Please remember to review at the end! :)

Caroline stood in front of the mirror, and moved her hands, down the front of her body. The feel of the cream satin underneath her fingers confirmed her doubts.

She was getting married, today.

She couldn't believe it. Tears sprang in her eyes, and she smiled, dipping her head.

"Don't you dare cry and ruin your mascara!"

Caroline smiled, and lifted her head to look in the mirror to find Rebekah standing in the doorway behind her. "For once, I don't care about my makeup, Rebekah." She stated, smiling wider as Rebekah rolled her eyes, and shook her head.

"I still can't believe everything turned out for today." Caroline remarked, shaking her head.

Rebekah scoffed, and shook her head. "It's a miracle. What with you getting engaged on Christmas, and having the wedding on New Year's Eve." She stated, with a small huff.

"You are a miracle worker, Rebekah." Caroline exclaimed, hugging the blonde. "Thank you." She whispered, with emotion, pulling back.

Rebekah nodded, and wiped her eyes. "What are sisters for?" She asked, shrugging her shoulders.

Caroline smiled, and dipped her head. "I never imagined I would have a sister." She whispered, tears forming in her eyes.

Rebekah smiled, and reached for a Kleenex to wipe the streaks down Caroline's face. "Well, you do now." She replied, softly.

Caroline nodded her head, and sniffed. "I never had a family, except my mom." She replied, turning back to the mirror. She glanced at her left hand, where her engagement ring rested on her ring finger.

"You have a family, now." Rebekah replied, placing her hand on Caroline's back. "Always."

Caroline smiled, and lifted her head higher, and a gleam appeared in her eyes. "Family." She whispered, tenderly.

Rebekah nodded, and sighed. "Now, let's get you and my darling brother married." She stated with a curt nod of her head.

Caroline sighed, and nodded. "Married." She whispered, fingering the ring once more, a smile gracing her face. "Married."

~XX~

Klaus shifted on his feet, as he fixed his silver tie, nervously, as he stood in the small room at the cottage.

"Calm down, Klaus."

Klaus groaned, and closed his eyes. "I'm getting married, Stefan, I think that's cause for being nervous." He stated, with a sigh.

Stefan smiled, and crossed his arms over his chest. "True and you look like the poster boy of nervousness." He stated, with a smirk on his face.

Klaus glared at his friend, but didn't say a word.

"Hey, dad."

Klaus turned towards the door, and smiled as his son entered wearing a suit just like his. "Hey, Joey." He replied, lowly, turning back to the mirror.

"Nervous?" Joey asked with a glance towards Stefan.

"No, I'm not nervous." Klaus stated, lying through teeth.

Joey scoffed, and approached his dad. "Dad, seriously, you are sweating bullets, and you are fidgeting." He paused, inhaling deeply. "You are totally nervous." He added, lifting a brow.

Klaus groaned, and turned to glare, playfully at his son. "Keep that up, and I'll demote you as my best man." He stated, pointing his pointer finger at his son.

Joey smiled, but kept his lips tight, trying to hide a laugh, glancing at Stefan, who was stifling a laugh. He nodded, and kept his mouth shut, excitement, and happiness glowing in his eyes, before he turned to leave the room.

Klaus turned back to the small mirror, and let out a small sigh. "What if she changes her mind?" He muttered, sadly.

Stefan sighed, and approached Klaus. "Klaus, Caroline loves you. She won't change her mind." He stated, strongly.

"I know she loves me, Stefan, but she's still a Marshal, for the moment." He stated, shaking his head.

"Not for long, at least not from what you told me." Stefan remarked, looking in the mirror at Klaus' reflection. "You think she'll regret it." He stated, reading Klaus' expression.

Klaus sighed. "I'm the Hybrid, Stefan." He remarked, bowing his head. "She'll regret it, and I don't want to put her in that position." He whispered, lowly.

"Klaus," Stefan began, shaking his head. "She loves you, and I can tell you she won't regret it." He concluded, firmly.

"How do you know?" Klaus asked, turning to look at his friend.

"Because, she said yes, Klaus." Stefan answered, with a smile. "She said yes, when she could have said no." He added, strongly.

Klaus smiled, and nodded. "I never imagined that I would ever find someone who could love me." He replied, shaking his head.

"Well, believe it, Klaus, because Caroline does, and for the life of me, I don't understand why." Stefan stated, with a light chuckle.

Klaus smiled, and shook his head. "Neither do I." He returned, shaking his head once more.

Stefan smiled, and moved towards the door with Klaus following close behind him. His smile faded as he reached for the door, and paused. "One more thing, I don't like the plan you've got going, Klaus, but I will support you, no matter how crazy it is." He stated, in a serious tone.

Klaus frowned, and bowed his head. "Caroline doesn't like it either." He replied, sighing. "She said it's insane, and dangerous." He added, lowly.

"She's right, Klaus." Stefan began, turning to lean on the door, not wanting to leave the room until everything was cleared up. "Getting married, and then forcing your wife to turn you in just to protect your family, if you weren't sane I'd have you committed." He added, his eyes dark.

"I'm not forcing her, Stefan." Klaus stated, strongly. "I merely suggested it, and she agreed." He added, shrugging his shoulders.

Stefan scoffed. "Klaus, did you even ask her opinion?" He asked, glaring at his friend.

"I didn't have to, Stefan." Klaus began, stiffly. "She told me, but after a lengthy discussion, she agreed." He paused, running his right hand through his hair. "Look, I don't like this plan any more than you, Caroline, or the rest of the family, but this was the only solution I could come up with." He added, dropping his hand to his side.

Stefan closed his eyes, and bowed his head. "Like I said, I'll support you." He stated, after a small pause. "Let's get you to the altar before Rebekah and Caroline kill me for detaining you." He remarked, pushing away from the door, and opened it.

Klaus smiled, and nodded. "I believe they would." He whispered, smirking.

Stefan scoffed, and smiled. "Yeah."

~XX~

Music began to drift through the back yard of the cottage, as the family gathered around the small, yet elegant altar.

Klaus smiled down at his son, and lifted his gaze to find Bonnie walking, slowly down the aisle, followed by Rebekah, and then finally Katherine, as Maid of Honor. He smiled at each one, but his gaze turned to down the aisle, and stopped.

Standing at the end was the vision he had only dreamed about, and never thought it would come true. His gaze locked on hers, and though he had noticed the satin and lace dress with long-sleeves made of lace, and a sweetheart top, showing off the tattoo he had given her months before. He noticed how the dress clung to her curves with small lace designs around the bodice, and just satin from the waist down. She was a vision, an angel, and she was his.

Their eyes remained locked as Caroline made her way down the small aisle, and for a moment they were the only ones there. As she stopped beside him, she broke the gaze to look at her son, who beamed from ear to ear, and smiled at him, before returning her gaze to Klaus.

"Well, since this is just a quaint, family wedding, there is no need for all the mushy stuff, am I right?" Damon remarked, clearing his throat.

Caroline lowered her gaze, before looking towards Damon, who grunted when his wife slapped his head, quickly before returning to her seat.

"I guess not." Damon muttered, glaring at his red haired wife, who only smiled at him from her seat with their dark haired son squirming in his. "Alright, then, dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join these two in holy matrimony, but since I'm only a judge and not a priest, I don't see how those words fit." He began, only to stop when his wife cleared her throat, loudly.

Caroline bit her bottom lip to keep from laughing, and caught Klaus' eyes, who smiled.

"Just get to the vows, Damon." Klaus suggested, waiting for Caroline's approval.

Damon nodded, and motioned for Caroline to state her vows.

Caroline swallowed hard, and handed her bouquet to Katherine, before taking Klaus' hands in hers. "Seven months ago, I thought I knew what I wanted out of life." She began, holding Klaus' eyes. "I wanted to succeed in my job, so I could prove, not only to my superiors, but to myself, that I was not my father, and I could be somebody." She continued, strongly. "But when I was sent down here, I began to realize that's not truly what I wanted." She paused, licking her lips.

"I realized that what I truly needed and wanted was a home, a family, someone to love me for me, despite my past. Someone I could call my best friend, my love, and my life. That someone is you, Niklaus." She replied, smiling, tears filling her eyes. "Since I met you, I've realized that you are all I ever wanted, and more. You have given me my freedom, your family, a home, and your unconditional faith in me." She smiled brighter. "For those reasons alone, I know I made the right decision in loving you." She finished, smiling, as the tears began to fall down her face.

Klaus inhaled deeply, tears burning in his eyes. He cleared his throat when Damon motioned for him to say his vows. "For years, I've been alone, not hoping that I would ever find someone I could share my life." He began, emotion riding on his voice. "But then, I met you on that plane, and for some reason, I began to hope and wishing. Wishing that I would get to see you again, not knowing that it was you I would meet later at that bar." He replied, watching her smile.

"If I could do it all over again, the only thing I would change would be my doubt in myself that someone like you could love me." He stated, watching tears fill her eyes. "You are more than the woman I met on the plane who was nervous of flying, or the woman, who is terrified of elevators, or the woman who defends a child, or even the woman whose temper could shake a mountain." He replied, watching her smile with a small blush. "You are the woman I love with all my heart and soul, and you are the one who has given me hope, not only in life, but in myself, and for those reasons alone, I'm proud to love you for the rest of my life, and yours." He finished, watching her eyes shine with unshed tears.

A throat cleared beside them, but they didn't break their gaze. "You two are just trying to make me cry, aren't you?" Damon muttered, sniffing, fighting back his tears. "Alright, then, Klaus, the ring." He stated, motioning.

Klaus nodded, and turned to Joey, who held up a silver ring in his hand. "Thanks, Joey." He whispered, sending him a wink.

Turning back to his love, he slowly slipped the ring on her left hand, until it reached her knuckle. Lifting her hand to his lips, he gently kissed her knuckle before lowering her hand.

Caroline didn't need to be told the next step, as she turned to get the ring from Katherine, and turned back to Klaus, and slowly slipped the ring on his left hand. Lifting his hand to her lips, she kissed his knuckle as he did with her before lowering his hand.

Damon sighed, and nodded. "Now, by the power vested in my by the state of Louisiana, I now pronounce you husband and wife." He stated, smiling. "You may kiss the bride." He added, though he was a little late for Klaus had Caroline in his arms, and kissed her soundly and thoroughly before the wedding party.

~XX~

Caroline smiled as Klaus moved her along the floor of their bedroom, swaying to the music playing from the cd player.

"I can't believe we're married." She whispered, wrapping her left arm around his neck, holding him close, as his right arm wrapped around her waist.

Klaus smiled, and continued to sway to the beat of the music. "I know." He whispered, leaning his head on hers as they continued to sway.

They had long since removed their wedding clothes, and were now in their night clothes, with Caroline wearing a satin spaghetti strapped night gown, and Klaus in a satin pajama pants with no shirt.

"It was nice of Damon to bring the papers today for Joey." She whispered, stroking the back of his neck with her fingers.

Klaus nodded, and squeezed her hand on his chest. "We are officially a family." He replied, softly.

She smiled. "Damon said you approached him months ago about adopting Joey." She began, but didn't finish, as she pulled back to look into his eyes. "You never told me." She replied, searching his eyes.

He sighed, as they continued to sway with the music. "I wasn't sure at the time how you felt about adoption." He returned, calmly.

She nodded in understanding. "I love Joey, Klaus, and I'm proud to call him my son, as I am to be your wife." She whispered, smiling.

"So am I, love." He whispered, kissing her lips, gently.

"Leave it to Kat to take Joey for the night." Caroline muttered against his lips.

Klaus chuckled, and moved his lips over hers, seductively. "Remind me to thank her in the morning." He groaned, kissing her lips.

She nodded as they parted, and stepped back as the next song began to play.

Now I've had the Time of My Life

She smiled, as Klaus twirled her in his arms until her back was against his chest, and lifted her left arm behind his head. Slowly, he trailed his left hand down her side, as she moved her arm slowly down to his right hand.

"What a better way to start this marriage than with your favorite scene from your favorite movie." He whispered, spinning her out, and then brought her back to his body.

She giggled, as they began to move to the music. "You are such a charmer." She replied, as they danced, and moved around the room. They danced until the song slowed to the bridge.

Now I've had the time of my life. I've never felt this way before. Yes, I swear. It's the truth, and I owe it all to you.

Caroline laughed as Klaus mouthed the words, and then kissed him as the music continued to play in the background.

Soon, they were on the bed, both panting from the dancing and the passion pulsing through their bodies.

Klaus moved his lips over hers, and slowly pushed the straps of her gown down her shoulders, her arms, and to her waist, lifting his head to gaze down at her with a look of pure love reflecting on his face. "You are so breathtaking, love." He whispered, trailing his fingers over her skin, causing her to shiver.

She smiled, and ran her fingers over his bare chest. "So are you." She whispered; as he smiled, and bent down to kiss her breasts, pausing to suck on them for a brief moment. "Klaus…" She whispered, breathlessly, threading her fingers through his hair.

He smiled, as he moved lower and lower, pushing her gown until it was off her body, leaving her bare, except for a pair of lace panties. He smiled as he moved his fingers over the band, and lifted his eyes in a devilish way when she shivered and moved to give him access.

He slowly removed her underwear, and placed his fingers over her, taking pleasure in the way she moaned, and thrashed on the bed. He moved his body up, and gazed into her eyes, hoping to see the answer he was seeking.

Caroline opened her eyes, and caught his eyes, with a curt nod of her head; his face quickly became buried between her legs, sending her body into a whirlwind of pleasure. As she climaxed, she screamed his name, and smiled as her body sang with pleasure.

Klaus moved up her body, kissing her skin as he made his way until he reached her mouth, and took it with his, relishing the sound of her moans, and whimpers.

He felt his pants being removed, but he didn't complain, as he kicked them aside, and aligned his body with hers. He lifted his face to gaze into her eyes, before pushing his body forward, and groaned as the feeling of completion filled him until his body shook.

"Caroline, too long." He whispered, not able to form complete sentences.

Caroline nodded, and lifted her legs to wrap around his waist, moaning at the feeling it gave her when he pushed deeper inside her body. "I know." She whispered, holding on tight to her love. "Rock me, Klaus." She moaned, arching her hips to meet his thrusts. "Rock me, hard." She panted, crying out in ecstasy as he complied with her cry.

"So good, love." He whispered, kissing her face, before moaning out loud.

She moaned, feeling her body sing, and refusing to stop. Her nails dug into his flesh lightly on his back, but neither cared. They had gone too long without this feeling of joining, and they were not going to waste a moment of it.

Caroline cried out as her body sang, and she felt her mind go blank, and her sight darkened as he thrusted deep within her.

Klaus cried out, and felt his mind become light, and his sight darkened, as well, thrusting a few more times until his body became limp on top of her.

The only sound in the quiet of the room, besides the sound of their panting and sighs and whispers of love, was the simple song playing through the speakers.

I'd fight for you. I'd lie for you. Walk the wire for you. Yeah, I'd die for you. Everything I do. I'd do it for you.

~XX~

Enzo growled as he downed the shot of bourbon in front of him. Almost three months, and he couldn't find them. He had traced the bank accounts, and tried to find the holdings the family might have, but nothing turned up.

He had to give the Mikaelson's credit. They were careful, and especially with Caroline there. He had his suspicions that she was working with the family, not gathering Intel, but he couldn't prove it, and even if he could. He wouldn't use it.

No, he wouldn't do that. Well, he thought with a smile on his face, not until after he killed her. What better way to survive, than to pin everything on her, and tell her superiors that she turned, and was now involved with the Hybrid himself, and she couldn't stop it, not if she was dead, so who would contest it.

Yes, he knew who the Hybrid was, but he wasn't going to tell his bosses, not yet. He had a mission to complete first, a mission that called for him to kill the Hybrid, and those involved with him, but Caroline, Caroline was supposed to stay alive, until he said otherwise.

Enzo smiled, darkly, and fingered the glass in his hands. Klaus Mikaelson was going down, and so was Caroline Forbes.

Forever.
