Chapter 24: Where you belong
Disclaimer: I own nothing
"Klaus.."
It was one word- one word from her lovely mouth- and he collapsed next to Caroline, holding every inch of her that he could without hurting her.
Her face suddenly falls, and for a moment Klaus feels as though his heart has stopped.
Is she in pain?
Is she angry?
But no, she makes no moves to flinch, and her eyes do not display the hurt that she has worn so prominently before because of him.
It is soothing, but he still wonders what is wrong so he stares at her intently, urging her to tell him what is grieving her
"The babies-" she struggles, her voice heavy and wheezy.
"They're okay Caroline. They're doing great." He assured her frowning as he watched her struggle to try and speak again
"Don't speak love. Just rest okay? I'm going to get Stefan-"
Caroline grabbed a hold of his arm before he could turn. Her grip although weak still created the desired effect as he turned back to her
"Stay." She muttered before closing her eyes again
And he did.
The sense of relief was so thick it could almost be seen among all those that had waited what felt like forever for Caroline to wake up.
"Can we see her?" Katherine asked.
"Two at a time and just for a few minutes each. She needs her rest." Enzo stated and made sure to leave them so that they could greet her.
Although being asleep for about three days, Caroline still felt utterly exhausted. Mind, body and soul and all that she really wanted to do was be with her babies.
After just sitting with Klaus for a few minutes, Enzo popped in surprised and extremely relieved to see his friend awake. After doing his compulsory checks he deemed her not healed enough to get out of bed yet.
The next 24 hours were still give or take and bed rest was not a suggestion, it was compulsory.
That in itself completely sucked for both of them since both parents were so eager to get to their children.
Caroline, to meet her children that she carried under her heart for eight months. And Klaus who wanted his little wolves to meet the beautiful and perfect mother he had been telling them about ever since they were born.
Now left alone in her room to "rest" she found herself in a complete sense of restlessness.
"Hey there stranger.."
"Bonnie"
Seeing the familiar faces of the people she loved was strangely comforting and took her mind off it for a bit.
Kol said nothing which was immensely surprising to both Caroline and Bonnie but even more so turned into utter shock when he leaped forward to hug Caroline
"Kol-" Caroline breathed out. Her belly still hurt. A lot. Sadly the anesthetic had worn out completely and every nip, tuck and flinch felt like a thousand daggers pressing into her
"I've missed you so much. I'm so sorry." He murmured releasing her
"I missed you too. And you have nothing to be sorry about," Caroline rolled her eyes.
Typical Kol and his flare for the dramatics..
"How are you feeling?" Bonnie asked
"Sore.. Tired, cranky that everyone has seen my children except me." She sighed
"They're absolute angels darling." Kol winked
"You've been with them?"
"Not up close except for Nik, but we've seen them from behind the glass." He smirked before adding "Beautiful like their mum"
"And you're still your charming self.. At least that hasn't changed.." Caroline giggled but stopped as it erupted too much discomfort in her sides.
"God. I'd give anything for a soda right now." Caroline groaned with a dry throat earning a chuckle from her two companions
"Well soda's are not good for you right now Missy. But I'll see if what I can sneak in from the caf, I'll be right back.." He kissed her on her forehead before leaving.
"And that's Kol for you.." Bonnie snorted
"You guys seem really happy." Caroline noted smiling at a blushing Bonnie
"Knock knock-"
"Kat?" Caroline grinned as Katherine slipped into the room and pulled her into a bear hug.
"I missed you so much!"
"Ow.."
"Don't you ever scare us like that again!"
"Ow." Caroline winced
"Sorry.." Katherine muttered as she pulled back to give her friend some space
"Where's Elijah?"
"Only two people at a time.. Doctor's orders. I saw Kol slip out and I couldn't miss the opportunity now could I." Katherine flipped her hair
"Hmm. I missed you guys." Caroline stretched a little on her bed trying to get comfortable
"And we missed you." Bonnie added
"So what did I miss in the three days I've been laying here completely comatose?"
"Nothing much, everyone has just been really gloomy after you and the babies..you know" Katherine trailed off
She winced. The babies were still a sensitive topic since she had yet to even see them. Hold them in her arms. Name them. Fuck! She missed them so much.
"And Klaus?"
"He never left."
"What?"
This was certainly news..
"Refused to leave the hospital until you woke up. His been alternating between sitting with you and the babies all day for the last three days." Katherine stated
Caroline nodded slowly. Not exactly sure how to respond except to sorta take it all in.
She always knew it.. Deep down, Klaus would be a good father. Even when he didn't know it she had always believed it... And yet, how could this be the same man who hurt her?
How could she ever get pass this.
Could she ever?
God, this was so confusing.
"His been a utter mess Care" Bonnie declared after a few long minutes of silence grew between the three of them.
"Its amazing at how much he's changed-"
"That doesn't mean anything." Caroline interjected before Bonnie got ahead of herself. She didn't blame her though, Bonnie was someone who always sought out the good in even the worst of people.
"I'm happy..that Klaus has been there for them during this time that I couldn't, even for me. I always knew he would be a good dad, and that's all I wanted."
"And you and Klaus?"
"What about us?"
"There's a lot of unresolved issues Care," Kat bemused
"He hurt me, I don't think I can get past that? And even if I could.. It would never be the same. Not between us anyway.." Caroline stated rather dejectedly
"How do you know that?" Kat rolled her eyes. Sure Caroline made tons of sense but sometimes she just couldn't see what was right in front of her
"Forgive him."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"Why are you taking his side?" Caroline demanded, suddenly feeling alone. Forsaken by her friends. Why were they being so insistent in the matter? She was not the one at fault after all.
"We're not taking sides Care, we're simply focusing on the bigger picture." Bonnie tried to put it simply
"Which is?"
"This is not only about you and Klaus now.. There are your kids to think about and don't you think you owe it to them to at least try?" Bonnie frowned
"Bon's right you know.. Caroline, no one knows what its like to grow up without your parents better more than us .. Its really fucked up and I doubt you want that for the twins. I'm not asking you to consider marrying the guy I'm just asking you to consider trying to work it out at least." Kat added
As much as she hated to admit, Bonnie and Katherine were right.. well only to a certain extent that is.
"He proposed.."
"What?! And you didn't tell me?" Katherine shrieked while Bonnie on the other hand was too shocked to even form a coherent response.
"Uh sorry, I guess I was too busy having twins and then lying here all day unconscious." Caroline rolled her eyes shifting on the bed to get more comfortable as her ribs began to ache again.
"Hmm sorry.." Kat winced
"So what did you say?" Bonnie asked
"What do you think she said? No obviously."
"I didn't answer him. But you both are right. I am going to try to have a relationship with him. For the sake of my children, I will become his friend and that is it."
"That's not what I meant Caroline." Kat sighed
"I know what you meant, but I can't. I just can't." She shrugged weakly. "Can we please talk about something else now?"
"Sure." They both tentatively nodded. Shit. Caroline and been through hell lately and they were not about to make her feel any less uncomfortable than she already was let alone, get her upset.
"So we agree, no more moping about life's little failures, no more dabbling in the dark arts of boyfriends past. This is a fresh start." Caroline stated
"Couldn't agree more. I happen to love fresh starts."
And as if right on cue, Kol walked in with a orange fizzy soda for Caroline that eagerly took it from him before the doctors did their rounds and confiscated her drink.
"Hey I just saw a woman breast feeding both her twins at the same time; its like a freak show up in here" Kol grimaced
"What do you have planned for tomorrow night?" Kol asked tentatively as him and Bonnie lounged on her bed
"Hmm.." Bonnie sighs and lays her head in his lap. "What did you have in mind?"
"More Elijah than me darling.." Kol explains rather amused. Bonnie clearly had other intentions in mind
Bonnie sits up
"What do you mean?"
"He wants to celebrate the unification of our family via Mikealson tragic dinner style. If you ask me that's just code for celebrating Mikeal and Esther out of the country and our lives." He smirked "In addition to the fact that Caroline is now awake and the babies are going to be fine." He added smiling
When Bonnie had yet to respond he looked down to see that she was lost in thought
"So dinner?"
"Sure." Bonnie shrugged half heartedly
Kol knew she was exhausted, between work, meeting clients and going to and from the hospital they hardly ever had a chilled day. Come to think of it, he couldn't remember the last time it was just the two of them, alone on a nice romantic night together
Kol sighed leaning down to kiss her. "You know this wasn't how I imagined our night to go either. I wanted it to be just you and me and a nice bottle of wine."
Bonnie rolls over and smiles shyly at him
Kol leans down to further nuzzle into her jaw. "Some candle light's, romantic music.. sounds like the perfect night to me."
Bonnie grabs hi and presses her lips to his giving him a heated kiss. Kol responds just as heatedly pressing her into the bed and brings his hands to rest on her hips. He nips her lips slightly and then...
She kicks him off the bed
Kol sits up shock faced and a little outraged
"What the bloody hell was that for?"
Bonnie sits up chuckling and flounces over to her closet. "I have to pick an outfit out for tomorrow's dinner. And I can't do that when you're trying to distract me."
Kol's mouth gapes as he stares utterly dumbfounded
Was she serious?
"We've been to dozens of dinners at their house, just wear what you always wear love. There is no need to play dress up."
"Wrong. Tomorrow night Elena and Stefan will announce their engagement." Bonnie rolls her eyes at Kol who probably cant even see her annoyance as she walks through her closet deciding on an outfit
"Their engaged? since when?" Kol scratches his head. This was certainly news to him.
"They've been for weeks now.. She's only told me yesterday. They've been holding off first because of his studies and then the whole thing with Caroline.. Well they've had incredibly bad luck with timing I guess." Bonnie shrugged pulling out a red dress that she thought would do well for an engagement dinner. "So..?" She asked expectantly holding up the dress against her
"They're getting married and they've only been dating for what? 10 months?" Kol frowned
Bonnie sighed walking back into the closet "Seriously" she groaned
Kol was very confused.. How were his friends ready to jump into this long commitment when they barely knew eachother that well. I mean he didn't know exactly how long but it;s got to be more than a whiny ten months to know someone before deciding whether you want to be with that person forever.
"They're in love Kol.. Time doesn't really matter." Bonnie shrugged "We're in love, that doesn't mean we have to get married tomorrow.."
Kol watched Bonnie prance around the closet as he her words kept re-playing through his mind. Women were strange creatures..
"So you want to get married tomorrow?" Kol asked deadpanned
"What? No." Bonnie giggled
"But I thought you just said time doesn't matter," He frowned
"That's not what I meant Kol and you know it." She sighed. Sometimes it felt as if she were talking to a thirteen year old hormonal and petulant boy.
"So we don't know each other long enough to get married is what you're saying."
"What the hell, where is all this coming from? what, do you want to get married?" Bonnie shrieked
"Don't you?" He honestly thought that with Bonnie bringing all this married talk up was because she was hinting.
"No. Not right now at least you barely know a thing about me.." She rolled her eyes playfully
"Excuse me? I'm utterly hurt love, I do know you." He exclaimed
"Oh yeah? What's my favorite color?" She asked eyebrows raised with her hand on her hip looking like a fierce mamma bear ready to discipline the kinds.. It was kind of a turn on.
"Green? No wait.. Blue. Yes definitely blue."
"It was a trick question Kol, I don't have a favorite color." She rolled her eyes
"Well I don't need to know your favorite color, I know that I love you.. Surely that must count for at least something?" He attempted to guilt trip her and that stupid British accent accompanied by the puckered up lip always made her melt
Bonnie chuckled
Kol sighed in relief. Great she wasn't angry and since the Q&A WAS out the way...
"Take out the red dress and then bring that fine ass out here." He groaned already getting hard at the thought of ripping that dress of her and fucking her senseless. All this hospital visits and marriage talk really had him tense as fuck and what better outlet than to loose himself inside the woman that he loves?
Bonnie prances out the closet in nothing but her underwear. "I think I'm gonna call it a night. I'm exhausted." She stifles a yawn
Kol's mouth opens in shock. Great. She was so not over it and now she was taking sex away from him for not knowing that she didnt have a favorite color. I mean who doesn't have a favorite color?
"Oh come on darling, you can't leave me out to dry like that.. Blue balls is a real thing." He stresses
"Is not." She deadpans
"Is too."
Bonnie turns to give him an adorable grin and says "Is not."
"Boniiiiiiiieeeee" Kol reprises his pouting schoolboy look and whines
She doesn't even look at him denying him the attention that he seeks. She picks out a dress, hangs it ready for tomorrow and uses her other hand to motion to Kol
"Shoo" she waves him off
He was definitely going to need to up his apology speech if he wanted a release tonight..
"I love the way you laugh.." He announced
"What?" She chuckled. Was he serious right now?
"I love the way you laugh. I love the way you fake laugh at my jokes because you know that I need it." Bonnie snorts and comes to sit on the bed next to him
"I love the way we fit together in bed.. like our crotches line up perfectly." Trust Kol to always weird out the conversation..
"I love the way you look in the morning, like that exact moment when the morning sun hits your window and you wake up your eyes just open like two little butterflies." Kol finished kissing her on her forehead.
"And another thing, I love that you don't have a favorite color." He added giving her that adorable smirk where he knows he's melting her heart. She wondered idly how many girl's have fallen for that smirk
"Screw it" She exclaims before launching herself at him.
Elijah's eyes opened slowly as the cries of his daughter echoed through the baby monitor. He turned to look over at his wife, who was still asleep and smiled. She had been so tired these last few days, heck they'd all been. He was glad Emily's cries didn't wake her.
Carefully he climbed out of bed and quietly made his way to Emily's nursery a few doors down the hall. He walked into the dark room, padding his way to the cradle his little love restlessly slept in. He reached in and picked her up carefully holding her against his chest.
Emily was absolutely gorgeous. A perfect combination of her parents with his hair and her eyes.
Another thing Elijah could moat definitely agree on twas that she was as stubborn as her mother. He snickered thinking back to how she had taken her own time coming into the world being a whole two weeks late and arriving after what seemed like hours of labor.
He remembered how Emily had come to be.. Originally she was going to be delivered at the hospital but much to his wife's insistence they had gone the natural way. In was amazing though as if he he been in a boardroom with hundreds of world CEO's he would demand the room's attention, gotten what he wanted and left with the trademark Mikealson smirk. But here at home, he was ruled by two women and that was his wife and daughter
"You know Emily, you and your mother have me wrapped around your delicate little fingers." He mused tucking her into his arm. He watched her stare at him with big eyes taking in every word Elijah spoke as if it were the most fascinating thing.
He walked from wall to wall with her in his arms trying to get her back to sleep but alas, it seemed she was hell bent on staring at her father while sucking on her chubby fingers instead.
Deciding that some milk would do the trick, he walked into the kitchen and got a bottle of Katherine's breast milk from the fridge. They both decided that Emily would be breastfeed until they've at least reach the 6 month mark but Kat had made bottles so Elijah could help with the late night feedings.
Katherine didn't mind the late night feedings at all, but Elijah insisted she get some rest given the roller coaster of three days they've all had and how much strain everyone took especially Katherine.
Elijah walked backed to the nursery and changed his daughter's diaper before settling into the rocking chair to feed her.
He was the perfect picture of fatherhood with his large form contrasting with the little baby in his arms
It still amazed him that she was here and that she was theirs. Given the last couple of days he couldn't help but feel more appreciative as to how smoothly the labor had gone and how healthy Emily was. Having a niece and nephew in the NICU really had changed his outlook on things.
After his daughter had finished her bottle he rocked her to sleep and soon she was gone in a land of slumber safe in her daddy's arms. He held her for a few more moments and then placed her back in her crib with a kiss on her head. "Goodnight Emily,"
After leaving his daughter's room he walked back to his bedroom already knowing that he would not be able to sleep at all so he decided to lay in bed and watch his wife sleep instead.
Everytime he saw Katerina it still amazed him that she was here, beside him, loving him and being his wife. If it had been anyone else that had to face the eminent annoyance and fucked up history of his family they would been long gone, but not her.. not his Katerina.
He settled in beside her and she instantly curled her small form against his. He chuckled softly thinking that even in her sleep she was drawn to him, and him to her. His soft chuckle woke her slightly "I heard the baby crying.. Is she okay? Does she need to be fed?" Kat mumbled
He kissed her forehead and said "Katerina, Emily is okay. I told you I'd take the night feedings.. Go back to sleep my love."
She kissed him " Love you." she spoke softly against his lips, her eyes already shut welcoming the soon to be deep slumber
"I love you too."
Klaus waited until everyone else had visited Caroline because he knew once he was back in that room he wasn't leaving. Not unless he took her to their children of course, that in itself was so exciting he could barely contain himself.
He could only imagine how much Caroline yearned for them. To see them, touch them.
Stepping into the room after seeing Rebekah and Elena out, he idly wondered how that even came to be; Elena and Rebekah.. Huh, grief brings the strangest of people together sometimes, he mused
He saw tears form in Caroline's eyes as he sat down and gripped her hand.
Klaus's heart felt heavy and his throat constricted. He hated seeing her cry and couldn't help but feel that most of the cause of her tears was because of him. Everything that had caused her pain in this year alone was because of him.
Whether or not she wanted him to he didn't care all too much. He had missed her and just needed to touch her to assure him more than anything that she was okay. She was here right here and now and she wasn't leaving them.
Bringing her hand to his heart he no longer could fight the tears he had managed to keep at bay the three days he prayed for her to wake up.
Caroline looks up to see Klaus edge near the bed.
Unsure of what to say to him, nor he to her and before she has a chance to say anything, he grabs her hand and holds it to his chest.
"I love you," Klaus took a ragged breath his head dropping to the bed in shame as the guilt of everything that had transpired washed over him anew.
She found herself at a loss for words. Which was weird since well.. It's Caroline.
He wasn't exactly counting on a response from her. He just needed her to hear it.
Caroline hated this.
Really.
She hated that he still made her heart race, he still looked good, incredibly sexy as he always looked. Fucker
He had deep frown lines on the corner of his eyes that were placed on dark circles beneath them. He was tired. But he still looked the same, the man she fell in love with.
The same man who hurt her.
"The babies.." Caroline trailed off clearly not having any strength nor pleasure in discussing their relationship and all the fucked-up-ness that came along with it right now.
"-Are doing well. Sleeping. I've just gone to check up on them a few minutes ago." Klaus smiled "Our daughter is finally strong enough to be off the ventilator."
"That's so great. That's.. That's good."
"I have to see them." Caroline said quickly as she pushed herself up from the bed. Her body ached as she did. She wanted to get out of this stupid room and go see her children right this second. Why was everyone being so stupid? She was their mother. It was her god damn right to see them.
"Caroline-"
"No Klaus." She barked off his protests of her getting up. And as much as he hated to admit, the getting up part had proved to become extremely difficult for her tired body was just not responding.
She hasn't moved her limbs in a number of three whole days. They were stiff and very sore.
"Could you help me up?"
Shit
Klaus felt so conflicted.
He wanted nothing more than to take her to their children, but Enzo's orders were as clear as day. She was too weak right now, she needed to rest.
The twins weren't going anywhere and as soon as Caroline grew a little more stronger and in control of her body again, they would take her to NICU immediately.
"Klaus please I just want to see them. I won't be able to sleep if I don't,"
And he knew this was most likely true. As beautiful as she was, she was also downright stubborn.
"Okay." He sighed giving in eventually before peering back out the door to check if the coast was clear.
"Enzo's due back here in about 20 minutes so we don't have much time." Klaus added before walking over to the bed and picking her up bridal style
"Klaus- what are you doing?"
"I'm carrying you. You've not yet recovered and I'm not about to let you walk all the way to NICU." He rolled his eyes as if stating the most obvious thing in the world.
The situation was not all too pleasing, but she just wanted to see her children and was in no condition to be making any threats.
Sighing loudly, she wrapped her arms around his neck and he carried her out into the hallway.
She hasn't felt his arms around her like this in a long long time and it felt..familiar
Unconsciously grunting, Caroline winced as his hand accidentally slipped to her waist. Her terribly sore and aching body had but only been in the early stages of recovery and she was under strict instructions to stay in bed.
"Sorry.." He murmured shifting her around. Klaus tried to keep her as comfortable as he possibly could but at the same time also tried to get her to the NICU as quickly as he could without running into any nurses or doctors.
"Why aren't they giving you any morphine love?"
"I didnt want any. I want to breastfeed and I don't want to be drugged." She explained
"I see." Klaus didn't know much about the drug and its side effects to breastfeeding so he made a mental note to look up on that later. She couldn't suffer like this, he was sure there was some alternative that Enzo could recommend.
"Thank you.." She exhaled once they'd entered the elevator
"It's no bother love, I know how much you miss them."
"Kat and Bonnie told me you never left the hospital.."
Klaus tensed when he felt her breath tingle on the crook of his neck as she spoke.
"I promised you I wouldn't leave them love," He smiled as the doors of the elevator opened to the NICU level.
Caroline still wrapped up in his arms watched in awe as he walked them through the corridors expertly knowing the way by heart already.
"That was fast.." She mused and he chuckled
"You ain't seen nothing yet love," Klaus added as he drawled closer to the large window. Through it, were the babies and even though he knew Claire and the others wouldn't let him bring her in, she could still see them clearly from here.
"Look Caroline.. there they are, our little loves."
Caroline pushed herself up against him as she lifted her head weakly
She gazed at her children who laid alongside each other in the incubators. Wires and needles were strapped to them like a second skin but they looked so peaceful.
For the first time since giving birth, she felt herself relax knowing that they were fine.
Without realizing, Klaus felt a pool of wetness against his neck and chest and looked to see that Caroline had been crying
In all honesty, he expected this. It was always the first reaction to seeing them like this. It had been for him, Rebekah, Elena, Katherine and even Kol.
"They're so beautiful.."
"They grow stronger by the day.. Both off the ventilator which is good since they are now breathing on their own. Our son is on bottle feedings although our daughter isn't quite there yet.. But Claire assures me that she is getting there." Klaus updates her on their progress
"Who's Claire?"
"She's the nurse that's been assigned to them. They have the best possible care love, they're in good hands."
"I want to touch them" Caroline whimpers against him and the broken tone of her voice almost sends him over. But he has to remain level-headed for both Caroline and the babies sake.
"And you will.. Once you're healed and the stitches comes out. I promise you Caroline," He pleads and is surprised to see that she nods her head in agreement despite the tears rolling down her face.
"They still haven't been named yet you know.." He smirked against her head knowing that a change in direction was just what Caroline needed to take her mind off being with the twins now when she was too weak.
"Really? Why not?"
"I've been waiting for you.. Knowing you I knew there was a 99,9% chance that you already had names picked out."
He was right.
And the thought alone was just about enough to bring a faint smile to her face
"Hmm..." Caroline breathed and after one more lasting look at her kids, she returned her head to the crook of his neck while shifting her full weight back into his arms
"Hmm yes,.. Hmm no?"
"Hmm.. Take me back to my room please."
He sighed in amusement shaking his head at her as they said goodnight to their children before walking back to the elevator.
XXXXXX
Caroline felt exhaustion pour over her aching body the moment she was placed onto the bed.
Klaus came by her side to throw an extra blanket over her as she snuggled further into it watching him with tired eyes as he sat on the couch next to her.
She felt really bad that he was here with her when he should be at him in a normal bed getting some rest after the whirlwind of the last three/four days. And call her selfish but in some unnatural way it just felt better to sleep knowing that Klaus was here not only for her but their babies.
She closed her eyes momentarily only to open them a few minutes later after hearing a few ruffles of what sounded to be pages
Opening her eyes she was met with a sight that almost made her laugh. Considering how tired she was and the dull ache in her ribs she refrained. But Cum'on, here Klaus was sitting beside her bed at 2 in the morning reading one of her Jane Austin novels.
"Is that mine?" She managed a snicker
"It's recently become my favorite.." He smirked before adding "But don't tell Kol."
"Since when?" She smirked
"I've read to you everyday since you- you know.." He trailed off "I had Bonnie bring a few of your things over. And your books so.." He gestured to the book.
"You've read to me?"
"Yes."
Caroline couldn't help the beaming smile that formed on her face. Shit, how didn't she know this? How out of it was she that she couldn't hear him?
Although tired, she still looked beautiful to him.
Both Klaus and Caroline knew that there were a lot of unresolved issues between them and both or rather more Caroline, had been avoiding the giant elephant in the room for as long as she could.
Yes he would be in her life as the father of her kid, that was a given. Coming from a rather broken home and not having a relationship with your parents at all can really fuck someone up. They both would know.. She didn't want that for her children and nor did Klaus.
As for the two of them? Well she would cross that bridge when they got to it.
She just wanted to focus on the children right now.
Smiling back at Caroline, Klaus turned back to his book and continued to read letting Caroline get back to sleeping. She needed it and Boy did he too. He knew for a fact however that even if he forced himself to sleep right now, he would not be able to.
"Klaus"
He heard a hushed whisper bringing him out of his daze and looked up to see Caroline with droopy eyes. Her lips pressed tightly together as if she held on to some secret that she was battling to keep.
"Charlotte. And- Henry Mikealson." She murmured and before she could even see the look of shock on his face or the look of shock that she imagined his face would harbor, she shut her eyes and let sleep take over.
Writer's block really is a thing guys. LOL battling to get inspired to write something great but I don't know how I feel about this chapter..
