AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello my lovelies.
The reaction to the last part was unbelievable! Thank you for all of your reviews, follows, and favorites. I also want to thank the people who have been recommending this story to other people, and say hello to my new readers!
I realized the day after I posted it, that I forgot to include a few things in my note. For one, the dress that Caroline was wearing is the one that Candice wore in a couple of the promo shots and two, the soundtrack for the last part was either Give Me Love by Ed Sheeran or The Man I Love by Helen Forrest.
As for this part, I would suggest Stay by Rihanna.
Thanks to klarolineepiclove, and jomosfamilyjewels for their help and betaing skills.

Part 32
"Caroline? What is this?" Klaus asked as he held up the piece of paper for her to see. While retrieving a bottle of wine and goblets, he spotted an envelope addressed to him on the kitchen counter. He had recognized Caroline's handwriting on the envelope immediately and had been curious as to what she had left for him since she hadn't mentioned anything to him about it. After he opened it, those questions left his mind and a whole set of new ones replaced them.
Caroline felt like kicking herself for forgetting about the letter. "It's a letter."
"A resignation letter." Klaus clarified his voice a combination of confusion, hurt and anger. He had read the letter in disbelief. It had been simplistic in nature, just a few lines stating that while she cherished her time there and cared deeply for Lexi and Henry, she felt it was best for her to look for employment elsewhere. She had ended it stating that she would stay for as long as she could while he looked for a replacement for her. As if, she expected it to be just that easy for him.
"Yes, it is." She confirmed. "Klaus…"
"I'm confused. Why did you tell me earlier that you would give us a chance if you were planning on leaving? Or was that why you said yes tonight? Were you planning on being with me until I found another nanny and you left?" Klaus questioned her. He didn't want to believe that she would do something like that, but how could he not? She had finally agreed to start a relationship with him only for him to find out that she had every intention of leaving.
"No, no." Caroline argued. She could see how much the letter had upset him and knew she had to explain quickly. How had things gone from perfect to chaotic in such a short time?
"Did you even consider what your leaving would do to Henry and Lexi? Or how I would have to explain to them that you left because of me?" Klaus demanded. He saw her eyes widen as she took in his words and he knew he had his answer. "No, you didn't. You were going to take the selfish route and make the decision without thinking of all of the consequences instead of just some of them."
"Just let me explain." She demanded forcefully. Then before he could open his mouth again, she continued. "When I wrote that letter, I had no idea that things would happen the way that they did tonight. I thought that with what I told you the other night, that I couldn't have children that you would choose not to pursue the idea of us together. That things would just going to go back the way they were."
"So that's the reason you were going to leave?" Klaus asked. "If I recall sweetheart, you were the one who insisted that we do exactly that. Ignore what we felt and continued as if nothing had happened."
"I know, I know I did. I believed that it was the best arrangement for the situation. However, last night after Stefan brought you home, we ran into each other as he was leaving. When I asked how you were, he let me know that he was aware of what was going on between us. He said he had seen it with his own eyes but also that he had overheard a conversation between you and Elijah." She explained.
"As we talked about it, which by the way your new brother-in-law was very much on your side, he asked me a couple of questions to change my mind. And they did, it made me rethink things. He asked me if I could really go on living in this limbo of caring for you while sharing a living space but not being with you. Moreover if I did, what would happen if you moved on one day?"
"And you decided that quitting was your only option?" He inquired.
"At the time? Yes." Caroline replied. "I knew that as much as I loved it here, with the three of you, that things wouldn't work. Because if we managed to keep things strictly platonic, there would be a day when I would have to see you with another woman and it would break my heart."
"Why didn't you come to discuss it with me? Before you took this step." Klaus said, waving the letter to emphasize his point.
"Because you would have tried to talk me out of it. I didn't make the decision lightly. And now things are different. Everything changed the moment you told me that regardless of the fact that I can't have children that you still wanted to be with me. " She told him as she moved forward so that she could wrap her hand around the one of his that held the letter. "When I wrote this, I didn't think that would happen."
Caroline's touch combined with her words eased the anger and fear he had been feeling. Klaus took a deep breath before he held up the bottle of wine. "I think we need to have that drink now."
She smiled at him, relieved that she had been able to curb his irritation. She released his hand as she answered him. "Yes, I think we should."
He tossed the letter onto the table before he poured them each a glass of the wine. Once they each had their own glass in hand, he brought his up to hers and clinked the glasses together. She brought the glass to her lips and took a sip. It tasted wonderful.
"Now that that ugly business is out of the way." Klaus stated as he watched Caroline sip her wine and they moved to sit down on one of the couches. "We can move onto more mannered subjects."
"Actually you finding the letter does bring up one of the subjects we need to discuss." Caroline stated. "Whether I should keep working here or not."
Klaus' forehead furrowed in confusion. "I don't understand. You said that you had planned on leaving because you didn't think we would be together. But we are together, aren't we?"
"Yes, yes we are." She assured him. "However how is that fact going to mix with our current working relationship? I mean, how am I going to be your employee and your girlfriend? It could cause big problems."
Klaus just shrugged. "I don't see why it would have to. Remember love, I run a business with my siblings and have several employees and associates that I consider friends. Why would the two of us be any different?"
"For the reason that those relationships are a bit different than the one between us. What if I do something professionally that you don't agree with? Can you honestly say you will you call me on it or would you worry that if you did, it would get you on my bad side?" Caroline asked.
"Do you think I wouldn't be honest with you if something was to occur? Haven't I been in the past when that very rare occurrence had happened?" Klaus questioned. "I will not be some lovesick fool who caters to your every wish if I don't agree with them. I will still voice what I think when I think it will effect what is best for Henry and Lexi."
"Still it should be something we think of." She nodded. "Even if I moved to another family, I would come to see you and the kids as often as I could."
"Which would mean a great decrease in time spent here."
"Well yes, of course." Caroline replied.
"What if we compromise?" Klaus suggested.
Compromise? Caroline wondered. "What do you have in mind?"
Klaus could hear the hesitancy in her voice, as if she wasn't sure what he might come up with and he held back a smile. "We do a trial period where you stay on here, say a few months, and then we reassess things. Meanwhile I'll keep an open mind on the possibility of your leaving if things aren't working professionally between us."
She thought over his proposal for a moment. "Three months. And during that time, you…we will look for possible replacements for me. It takes time to find a suitable nanny that fits what you need, you got lucky with me."
This time he didn't hold back the large smirk as he said. "Indeed I did, in more ways than one."
Caroline just rolled her eyes at him as she took a large drink of her wine. Once she swallowed it, she spoke. "So you agree to my additions?"
"Yes, I will attempt to look for a replacement." Klaus answered, just because he said he would look didn't mean he had to put a lot of effort into it, after all he thought it was a waste of time.
"Okay then, we will keep our professional and personal lives separate." Caroline confirmed, looking at Klaus who nodded his acceptance.
With that settled, Klaus felt she was too far away from him. He held his hand out to her, motioning her close. "Come here."
Caroline kicked off her shoes and slid across the small distance between them. She curled into his side as his arm came down on her shoulders and pulled her close. They had sat there comfortably for a few minutes, Caroline loving the closeness with him that she was allowed to indulge in now. She couldn't think of any place she'd rather be than here, leaning against him with his arm around her.
Klaus stared down at the beautiful blonde in his arms and though he didn't want to ruin the moment, there was something he wanted to talk to her about. "Caroline, I know this might be painful for you but I wanted to ask you something."
"Yes?"
"Will you tell me more about the accident? And the aftermath?" He requested. "I know that you told me the other night that you aren't able to have children because of it but…"
"I didn't really explain it though did I?" She said though she of course already knew the answer before she felt him he shake his head. She took a minute to compose her thoughts, before she sat up a little so she could look at him face to face. Not a lot of people had really asked for the details of her situation and how she got that way, none of the guys she had dated ever asked beyond what she told them. Her family, and close friends were the only ones who really knew the particulars.
"A day or two after I was stabilized, my parents came into my room with my doctor. I could tell by their faces that it wasn't with good news." Caroline started, replaying the memory of her parents' sorrowful faces when they had come in. She had known just by the sadness in her dad's eyes that it was something bad but no idea what it was. "It was then that my doctor told me the news, that while they were operating on me they found that some of the damage had been to my uterus. The injury and the resulting scar tissue not only weakened it but also caused some twisting and blockage of my fallopian tubes. They tried to give me a little bit of hope by saying they wouldn't completely rule out the possibility that I could have children but once I pressed them for information, I found that the odds were less than five percent."
Klaus reached over and brushed his knuckles up and down her arm trying to comfort her. He could tell that it wasn't easy for her to talk about and he felt bad for putting her through it, but he didn't stop her from continuing.
"After I found out, I started crying at what I had lost. I mean I was only seventeen but I had always planned on having a child when I was ready. More than one, I didn't want my child to be an only child like I was. Then that dream was extinguished. My dad crawled onto the hospital bed with me, and just held me while I cried. I think that's all I did for days, weeks actually and everyone was worried about me. They weren't sure I was going to come out of it." Caroline explained.
"Then Ms. Sheila, Bonnie's grandmother, came over to talk to me about something. Her church was looking for kids in high school or college age to work in the nursery on the weekends during the activities and services. I didn't like the idea, I felt like it was rubbing salt in my very fresh wounds. But Ms. Sheila is very stubborn, way more than me or you, she wouldn't take no for an answer. Between her and my dad, they were able to get me to go and at least check it out. I owe both of them a lot for helping me."
He watched as a look of happiness came over Caroline's face, lighting up her eyes as she went on. "Despite my uncertainty, she was right. Holding the babies and the toddlers, even though I knew that they weren't mine and I wouldn't have any, was very therapeutic. I volunteered as much of my time as I could and the pain started to ebb away. When it was time to go to college, I directed my major into early education while taking on a part time nanny job. That led me to here and why my job means so much to me."
"I knew you were remarkable since I met you, but now I think you possibly the strongest woman I've ever met." Klaus confessed.
She blushed at his words and shrugged modestly. "Not every guy thinks like that."
"Then they didn't deserve you."
The sincerity in his voice would have made her fall for him if she hadn't already. "No, they didn't. However, that didn't help with the insecurities that came out whenever I got involved with someone. At first, it was just the scars and then as I got older, I started to worry about if I got serious with someone that they'd leave me when they found out about my defect."
"Caroline, it's not a defect; it's just a part of you." Klaus argued, getting upset again. Not at Caroline but at any wanker who had made her feel like she was lacking. "A woman who is beautiful inside and out."
"You just love to lay on the charm don't you?" Caroline teased.
Instead of replying he simply stood up and put his hand out to her. "Come with me."
"What? Why?" She asked confused.
"I want to show you something." He told her. When she took his proffered hand, he pulled her off the couch and towards the front of the house.
"Wait, my shoes…"
"Don't worry about them, you don't need them, we won't be going outside." He assured her.
"Then where are we going?" Caroline questioned. She had no idea where Klaus was taking her or what he wanted to show her. She briefly wondered if they weren't going up to his bedroom. While that idea wasn't as scary as it probably should be, she didn't think that was what he was planning.
"My studio."
Now she was even more confused. "I don't understand, I've seen your artwork, it's all over the house."
"Yes, but not these." Klaus declared as they reached the third floor. He opened the door to his studio and stood back for her to enter.
Caroline walked through the door and looked around. Like his bedroom, she had never actually been inside the studio, only at the doorway when she had gone up to get him for dinner or to tell him she was leaving. She had never had the chance to just explore it.
The room had more windows in it than any other room in the house, they took up most of the outer wall. The other walls had several tables which were covered with scraps of paper and various art supplies that she had no clue about but had seen at a few craft stores she had visited. There were various easels sitting around as well, some with finished artwork while others had works in progress. The only thing in the room that didn't look to be dedicated to art was a small chaise longue in the corner.
Klaus watched her as she took in his space, giving her a few minutes to absorb it before he moved over to the table closest to settee and retrieved the sketchpad there. He opened it as he handed it to her.
As soon as her eyes caught sight of the paper, she gasped in surprise when she saw her own face looking back at her. Well not exactly her, what he had drawn on the pages were how he saw her. "These are beautiful."
"It's because of the subject in them." He acknowledged as he tucked a stray curl of hers behind her ear.
"No, it's definitely due to the artist's talent." Caroline argued as she began to flip through the book. The top drawing was not only one of her, there were pages and pages of her. Her face, her hands, full body shots, some alone some with the twins. "How long have you been drawing these?"
"For months." Klaus admitted. "You invaded my mind and I thought of you a lot. I knew I shouldn't have because I thought that nothing would come of it. I tried to stop thinking about you but I couldn't. So I drew you."
Caroline opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. What could you say to the man who had not been drawing you for months in an effort to take his mind off the fact that he couldn't have her but had shown them to her to show her how he saw her. Moreover what she saw on the paper didn't just display what he saw on the outside but on the inside. When she couldn't come up with the right words to express her thoughts, she showed them in a different way by leaning forward and kissing him.
He reacted instantly to the feeling of her lips on his. They devoured each other desperately; lips moving to seek out the others. His mouth was hot and urgent over hers, almost instantly taking over the contact. Their tongues tangled with each other, making the kiss even more enthusiastic and passionate. This continued for a few minutes, before Caroline broke the kiss.
Klaus was puzzled by her actions when she ended the kiss and started to pull away. Her hand trailed down his arm before she laced her fingers through his and she backed towards the door. "Take me to bed, Klaus. Please."
He knew that after the long emotional evening that they had had, he should try to be chivalrous and tell her that they should wait. That they didn't have to take this step yet, they could just enjoy each other's company, maybe sleep in the same bed and leave it at that. But he couldn't, not when he wanted her so badly and she was looking at him the way she was. So he let her lead him out of his studio and across the hall to his bedroom.
Caroline glanced briefly around as they entered but her mind was not on the room but the owner of it. When they reached the middle, not too far from his bed, she released the hold she had on his hand and waited for him to make the next move. She had brought them in there, now she was in his hands to go forward.
As he looked into her eyes, Klaus could see that she was looking to him to take the next step. His eyes dropped to her parted lips before moving forward. He placed a kiss on the corner of her mouth and then moved to the other. He nibbled gently at her lips then alternated to feather soft kisses all the while his thumbs rubbed slow circles across her cheeks. He felt the start of her desire due to the tension of her body. She attempted to deepen the kiss but his hands held her firmly in place until he was ready. Instead, he continued teasing her by nipping and brushing lightly against her lips.
Klaus ran his hands from her face down her neck, over her shoulders and down her sides before reaching her hips. He turned her around, so that her back was to his front. He brought his hand up to the zipper of her dress before dragging it slowly down, running his knuckles along the newly bared skin reveling in the softness of it, as his lips peppered her shoulders with kisses. Once the zipper reached the bottom, he released it and moved his hands up, this time to her head. He reached for one of the red rose hair pins that had been holding her hair back and gently pulled it out.
Caroline was so focused on the feeling of his lips on her shoulders that she didn't notice where his hands were until she felt the sensation of the pins being removed from her hair causing the curls they held to tumble down. She had never thought that removing them could feel so sensual but the feeling of his fingers running over her scalp as he searched for all of the pins gave her chills. Once they were all removed, Klaus combed his fingers through them, so that her hair was completely free. "I think someone has a bit of a hair fetish."
"Perhaps." Klaus admitted as he turned her back around to face him. While she had looked beautiful before, now she was the portrait of a siren with her ruffled curls framing her face. Even in the low light, he could easily see the arousal in her bright blue orbs as well as anticipation. Klaus cupped her chin in his thumb and index finger before leaning down to press a lingering kiss to her lips.
As their lips separated, Caroline's eyes remained closed as she focused on the sensation of Klaus's fingertips skimming lightly over her collarbone until he moved to her shoulders where he pulled down the top of her dress until it gathered at her waist, leaving her bare to him. She whimpered softly when his fingers trailed down to graze softly over her left breast, caressing the soft skin. When one fingertip circled the nipple, she moaned before the digit was replaced by Klaus's mouth. A gasp was ripped from her throat when he closed his mouth over the small peak, flicking his tongue over it the tight bud.
Klaus continued to worship her body with gentle strokes of his tongue, as he toed off his shoes and removed his socks. He felt Caroline's small hands come up to run through his hair, before she tugged it to bring him back up to her mouth. This time she was the one to control the kiss, nipping at his bottom lip with her teeth. When he felt her tongue enthusiastically reached out to trace where her teeth had marked him, he allowed the kiss to deepen.
Caroline ran her hands down the front of his chest, before coming to the top of his vest. She quickly unbuttoned it before pulling the material of his shirt underneath out of his waistband. When they broke their kiss Caroline moved her mouth close to his ear and whispered, "Take your shirt off."
Klaus stepped back slightly, just enough to raise his hands up to his collar where he undid his tie before he started to undo the buttons. When his shirt hung open, he moved to his wrists to take away the cufflinks. Caroline's eyes roamed over the skin that was now revealed to her. She remembered the first time she had seen him shirtless a couple of months before but now she was able to ogle him without feeling embarrassed or worried at being caught. She recognized the scars that marred the smooth expanse of his chest as well a tiny bit of his ink that was exposed. But it wasn't those marks she was focusing on, it was muscles of his upper chest and the hard planes of his abs. She had felt them pressed against her several times and couldn't wait to feel his naked skin against hers.
When the cuffs were gone, Klaus let the shirt slide down over his shoulders and down his arms before he tossed it aside. Now that he was free of the garment, Caroline ran her hands up over his chest, exploring what she had been studying with her fingertips. His upper body felt both hard and soft, hard muscles covered with soft skin that was warm to the touch. Her exploration moved up until she came to his shoulders. She entwined her fingers at the base of his neck, pulling his face down to her to capture his lips while her fingers moved down to wander over his shoulders and back. Klaus felt goose bumps run along his skin when she traced her nails down the length of his spine and up again. He broke the kiss and lowered his head, burying it in the crook of her neck, nuzzling the soft skin there before he began to suck on the spot right over her jugular.
Caroline inhaled a ragged breath at the action causing her to drop her head back. Klaus' mouth wandered lower and found her collarbone, then her breast again, evading her nipple and trailing lower, causing Caroline's breathing to become increasingly labored. She couldn't keep herself from gently scraping her nails over his curls as he knelt in front of her, adorned her stomach with butterfly kisses. She felt a brief moment of insecurity in regards to her own scars but when she felt his lips press against said scars, they flew out of her mind. The skin was very sensitive to the feel of his lips and tongue, something she had no idea of since his lips were the only ones to ever touch them.
Klaus moved his hands to where her dress was gathered. He looked up and caught her eyes as he slowly pulled down the dress over her hips and down her legs ever so slowly, letting his hands brush along her outer thighs and her calves all the way down, leaving fire in their wake. With her dress removed, all that was left to cover Caroline was a little piece of red satin and lace. Klaus let his fingers roam over more of the newly exposed flesh as he rose. As his hands reached her ass, he squeezed it before lifting her up. His mouth found hers again as he started moving them towards his big bed.
Caroline squeaked out in surprise at his actions but realized his intentions quickly. When they reached the edge of the bed, he kneeled on the mattress before he lowered her down. He continued to ravish her lips before trailing open mouth kisses down her jaw, her neck, and torso until he was kneeling between her thighs. His hands traveled up again over her legs and she relished in the feel of them. They were soft and rough at the same time. She knew that they were the hands of an artist whose skin would be calloused from his work and she loved it. When they reached the waistband of her panties, he hooked his fingers into the straps and slowly drew them down until they too were removed and he tossed them behind him.
He took a moment to take in the sight of Caroline lying sprawled on the dark blue sheets of his bed before he moved his hands up her legs and caressed the outside of her thighs, parting her legs as he did. Moving at an achingly slow pace, Klaus pressed a gentle kiss to the inside of her left thigh. He inched upwards, placing a trail of small kisses and licks on the smooth flesh. Caroline's breath came in ragged pants now and she felt herself becoming wetter with every kiss and lick he placed on her.
As soon as Klaus reached her center, he teasingly brushed his lips over her folds causing Caroline to whimper and her hips to jerk up on their own volition. "Klaus..."
Thankfully, Klaus did not stop; he flicked his tongue over the small bundle of nerves there before slowly pushing one finger into her. She couldn't help the wanton moan that came out of her mouth as he continued to caress her with his lips and tongue as he pumped into her over and over. When he added a second finger and he curled them, her moans grew louder as she withered under his hands. It wasn't long before Caroline felt the familiar pleasurable ripples stirring in her lower body and traveling up her spine.
The ripples soon turned to ecstasy that was so overwhelming that her hands moved to the back of his head and her hips pushed up into the ministrations of his tongue. He responded knowingly by closing his teeth over her clit. The action set off fireworks behind her eyes and waves of intense pleasure coursed through her body.
Klaus watched Caroline shudder under his ministrations as he eased her down from her climax, gently stroking her. When she was more composed, he removed his hand from her. He slid up between her parted legs and placed a gentle kiss on her mouth. Her lips eagerly parted and her tongue traced his bottom lip demanding entrance. Caroline wrapped her arms around his shoulders and pulled him farther down on her, forcing him to rest more of his weight on her body.
He brought his left hand up to cup and massage her breast, before breaking the kiss to gaze at her. She looked radiant in the afterglow of her climax, a light sheen of sweat shimmered on her skin and a satisfied smile adorned her face. He couldn't stop himself from bending forward for another kiss. Despite the fact that his erection felt almost painful after watching Caroline climax, their movements were slow and languid.
Caroline watched Klaus' face while his eyes were fixed on hers the entire time. She reached into the open fly, past his boxers and took hold of his sizable length. She stroked him boldly, moving up and down the length in a slow steady rhythm. She looked into Klaus' eyes and saw that the blue orbs were almost completely black with desire so she decided to torment him longer. However, Klaus did not agree and halted her hand. He pushed it aside before he reached down to strip off the slacks with his boxers and toss them in the general direction of where their other clothes had gone. As soon as Klaus was naked on top of her again Caroline reached out and positioned him at her entrance.
"Look at me Caroline." Klaus demanded. As their gazes locked, he rocked his lower body forward to slowly penetrate her, entering her inch by inch to stretch her so she could take him all in. However, she had had enough of this torture and hooked her legs around his waist to attempt to get him in as deep as possible. Klaus pushed in deep, feeling her inner walls gripping him tightly. He wanted so much to quicken his tempo but instead set a gentle pace, slowly moving in and out of her core.
Klaus continued this pace for some time only changing the angle a little; causing his pelvic bone to grind against her clit with every push in. Caroline felt as if she was going to shatter, as with each stroke the tension grew higher. Gradually the pace began to accelerate, movements becoming more vigorous, as passion flared. Yet Klaus still held back, wanting to see her face as release overwhelmed her. She was so passionate and wild, his body was screaming for release, but as she tightened around him he kept thrusting, drawing out her pleasure for as long as he could
"Klaus, please." Caroline begged. It was all becoming too much, she felt so pleasurably full and her body felt like it was wound too tight. She needed the release.
Eyes still locked, their bodies moved faster, rougher, commanding the end outcome. Klaus reached between them and gently stroked her clit. He tormented her in that manner for a minute before taking her by surprise by pinching the bundle of nerves between his fingers. She arched, her whimpers rising in pitch, until he drove into her one more time and she finally did shatter, shuddering, the waves of pleasure radiating up through her body.
He felt her inner walls clamping down on him and her nails raking down his shoulders and back. Her reaction made his restraint slip and he released the control he had been holding onto. Her walls gripped his shaft like a vice, his control was gone and he came deep inside her.
His orgasm exploded through his body and he continued to pump into her until he was spent. He lowered himself down, onto her, burying his face in her neck again as they both recovered. After a few moments, Klaus rolled off of Caroline, but he did not let her go, instead taking her with him.
As she lay wrapped in his arms, Caroline listened as his heart eventually slowed to a normal tempo. She cuddled against him, her head cushioned in the curve of his shoulder with her arm tossed across his chest, with her palm resting directly on top of his heart, as if staking her claim. She was trying to keep her eyes open when she felt Klaus' hand on her chin. He tilted her face up to him before planting a soft kiss on her lips. "Sleep, Caroline."
Within minutes of her moving her head back to its previous spot, Klaus heard as well as felt Caroline's breathing even out until she was sound asleep. He looked down and saw her hand clutched to his chest, her hair fanning out behind her onto the pillow. Before he could stop himself, he reached down and began to run his fingers through her silken tresses. His last thoughts as he too drifted to sleep was that this night wasn't only the beginning of something new for his sister and her new husband but also he and Caroline.
So what did you think? Was it everything that you hoped for? Next part will be the morning after.
Oh, and if anyone wants to know the reason behind the title of this part, it comes from a discussion I had on Tumblr. I mentioned how after the last part that everyone was asking for smut and peanutmm mentioned how they could just drink wine and play a game of Risk. Well several of us grabbed a hold of that and went with it so it became this thing and I had to put it in here somewhere.
Now that they are together, what kind of scenes would you like to see of them adjusting to their new relationship? I have some planned but always love to hear what you guys would like to see. BTW, the conversation about the kids will be in the next part.
