Part 52
"Finally." Henry announced as they trudged up the front steps of the house. "I didn't think we'd ever get here."
"You're not the only one." Klaus replied in agreement. On the way over, both of the twins had been asking when they would be arriving or something similar to it every minute or so since they had left their house to drive to Elijah and Katherine's house. He couldn't blame them, it was Christmas after all, which was the holiday to end all holidays in a child's eye and he knew they were anxious to see what brightly colored packages were waiting for them, not to mention swap lists of what they had already gotten with their cousins. Nevertheless that didn't change the fact that six inches of snow had dropped on Boston overnight had made the normally twenty minute trip take over an hour, and it had tried his patience. Not with his children directly but with the situation.
In spite of his irritation, he felt himself relaxing a bit when he felt Caroline's hand taking his, squeezing it in comfort. She smiled at him before saying. "It's not long now, and I'm sure that Elijah will most likely have a bottle of something you like to calm those frazzled nerves."
"I don't think I'm the only one who's going to need a drink, however in your case it might be liquid courage." Klaus stated. "Actually I retract that statement; you're already courageous enough by being willing to bind yourself to this family, so you don't need alcohol."
"True, maybe I should rethink this before we tell your family." Caroline suggested, her face a mask of contemplation as she pretended to consider it.
"Too late love, you already said yes, so you're stuck with us." He teased.
"Oh really? If I remember correctly, we haven't gotten to the wedding yet." She reminded him. Caroline knew that he would see straight through her and know that she was joking.
"Just a technicality," Klaus stated as he pulled her close. "You're mine Caroline."
"And you're mine. And I'm not going anywhere. If your family hasn't scared me off yet, then I doubt there is anything they could do." Caroline replied. It was true; she loved his family and was on cloud nine at the thought of being a part of them. She was going from having a tiny family to a huge one.
"Don't tempt fate." He muttered as he opened the door for them. As soon as it opened, light, warm air and noise erupted from it, telling them that they were indeed in the right place.
"Well it's about time." Caroline heard Katherine announce. "I thought we were going to have to send out the National Guard to get you guys here."
"Merry Christmas to you too Katherine." Klaus greeted her as he looked at his sister in law.
"You know there was a thing called a snowstorm that held us up."
"Excuses aren't going to cut it when the food is cold." Katherine argued. "It's not like everyone else didn't get here in time. What happened? The two of you get tangled up in the tinsel?"
"Katherine!" Caroline exclaimed, feeling a slight blush come to her cheeks at what she was implying. She was very glad that the twins had already dumped their coats and ran up the stairs or she would have been very embarrassed. "Must your mind always go that way
whenever we are late?"
"With the two of you? Yes." Katherine answered as she stood in front of Caroline, waiting for her to finish taking off her coat. Once it was handed off to Klaus, the brunette noticed something off. "Caroline, your necklace is stuck under your sweater."
"No, it's fine it's…" Caroline disputed, reaching up to swat Katherine's hand away but it was too late and she pulled the chain out of the collar, her eyes broadening to the size of dinner plates when she saw what was on the chain. "Holy shit!"
Katherine's shout had of course gotten the attention of the whole family, at least those who had been in the other room and not at the door welcoming the last to arrive.
"Mommy said a bad word." Daniel called out.
"Katherine! Language!" Elijah chastised from his spot in the next room.
"No, this warrants it, believe me." Katherine yelled. "Unless you already knew that your brother had planned to propose to Caroline because if you did, you're going to hear much more colorful language coming out of my mouth."
As the whole family stampeded into the foyer, Klaus looked at a shell shocked Caroline. This was not how they had planned to tell his family, why couldn't for once things go according to plan? As they all circled around them, Klaus held up his hands. "Back up and give us room to breathe before you start going at us like rabid dogs."
"How can you expect us not to Niklaus?" Sage asked. "You let Katherine drop that big news and not expect a barrage of questions?"
"I didn't let Katherine do anything; she took that duty upon herself." Klaus explained.
"Hey, I thought I was helping Caroline by fixing her necklace, I didn't know I was uncovering some big secret." Katherine retorted.
Caroline shook her head as she unfastened the chain and returned the ring to its proper place. "I had it under my sweater so no one would see it until we were ready to tell you at dinner. Should have known that wasn't going to work, I should have just kept it on my finger, maybe it would have taken longer to be noticed then."
"That's extremely doubtful; Katherine, Sage and I check your finger pretty much every time we see you to see if he had made the decision to make an honest woman out of you yet." Kol declared.
"Why would you do that?" Klaus asked.
"So we can see who would win the bet, of course." Kol replied.
"Bet?!" Caroline repeated.
"Before we continue this conversation, which I am in favor of any conversation where Kol is reprimanded, let us adjourn to the dining room so that we may have a meal and a show." Elijah suggested, causing several of the family members to chuckle as they did as he advised and went into the dining room.
After all of the food had been set out, the children were gathered and everyone was seated, Elijah stood by his chair at the head of the table. He clinked his knife against his wineglass.
"As we sit down to enjoy this holiday meal together, it was my intent to say a few words about how our family has grown over the year with the addition of not only Stefan by marrying Rebekah but my youngest son as well. However, it appears that Niklaus has stolen the limelight yet again from me as a result of his proposal to the lovely Caroline, intending to add yet another member to our growing family. I hope you will all raise your glasses and offer your congratulations to our brother and his intended. To Niklaus and Caroline."
"Congratulations." The families' voices called out before taking drinks from their glasses.
"Now, let us eat, before it cools and my wife becomes quite unlivable to be around." Elijah added before sitting down, earning a kick to the shin from his wife who sat next to him before she started passing food around.
Caroline looked at Kol across the table from her catching his attention before asking. "So you bet on if Klaus was going to propose?"
"Please, not if, when." Kol explained. "We had no doubt that Nik would pop the question, it was just a matter of when. Personally when he didn't do it within the first month after you guys came out, I put my money on the two of you living in sin for quite a bit longer."
"Money? You mean you actually bet money on us?" Caroline asked.
"Of course, what is the point in betting if there's no payoff? Bragging rights only go so far." Kol defended.
"Were all of you in on it?" Klaus inquired as he looked at all of his siblings.
"No, just me, Sage, Kol, and Stefan." Katherine answered.
Klaus smiled at his brother in law when his name was mentioned. "Were you the lucky one to guess correctly mate?"
"No." Stefan retorted as he looked over at his wife with a playful glare. "When Rebekah told me what you were planning, I tried to get her to talk you into pushing it back some, past our anniversary but she said she'd do no such thing."
"I was not going to have Nik stall his plans for a silly wager." Rebekah avowed.
"Bekah knew?" Kol complained. "That is not fair if they had inside information."
"And how was I to use this inside information considering I knew Nik was planning to propose around Christmas yet all of you but Elijah made this bloody bet months ago?" Rebekah queried.
"Elijah didn't think it was the gentlemanly thing to do." Kol explained to Caroline with a roll of his eyes.
"And I stand by my statement." Elijah professed.
"So why did Bekah know before the rest of us?" Kol asked.
"I wanted her advice on the ring." Klaus answered. "I had it picked out but wanted a second opinion and she was the only one I could trust to keep her mouth shut."
"Which I am no longer restricted by so now I can start asking Caroline about what she has planned for your wedding." Rebekah announced, catching Caroline's eye as she did. Caroline couldn't help but admit that the gleam in the other blondes' eyes at the idea of wedding planning scared her just a bit, but she was sure that others had seen a similar look in her own eyes so she shoved it aside. "You do know what you want don't you?"
Caroline nodded. "Yes, I've got some ideas and Klaus and I have been talking as well."
"Really? I'm surprised that Nik is getting involved." Rebekah replied. "The only thing I could get Stefan to do is handle the tuxes."
"No, those are the only things you would allow me to handle." Stefan countered. "Everything else I was banned from. I was lucky to be able to pick the guys I wanted up there with me to wear the tuxes, though I have a feeling she let me by because most of them were related to her."
"Oh shush." Rebekah hushed. "Have you thought about how many bridesmaids you want to have Caroline? And who they will be?"
Caroline looked over at Klaus, seeing a knowing smile on his face before turning back to his sister. "Actually yes, one."
"One?" Rebekah repeated confused. "You mean one bridesmaid in addition to your maid of honor?"
"Not exactly." Caroline answered. "Klaus and I were talking and we don't want something huge, just something small and intimate and so we decided we'd each only have one person at the alter with us."
"Oh, either Bonnie or Elena I assume?"
Caroline shook her head. "No, actually. I already talked to them and explained what we were planning."
"Then who?"
"Lexi." She answered. "I asked Lexi last night to be my maid of honor and she said yes. At least that's what it sounded like through the squeals."
"And I asked Henry to be my best man." Klaus added. "We still want to include you all in the wedding, but we liked the idea of them standing up with us."
"I think that is about the sweetest thing I've ever heard." Sage commented. "And I can't think of a better way to bring a new family together."
"I agree." Rebekah commented, though a part of her felt a little disappointed not to be one of
the bridesmaids, though she understood that they might want something smaller.
"I was thinking though, that maybe all of you could still wear dresses in our colors; you, Sage, Sarah, and Katherine in one, with Elena and Bonnie in another, whatever style you want. And the guys could do something similar with their clothes." Caroline suggested and she felt better when she saw Rebekah's eyes light up at the idea.
"I know just the boutique."

Several hours later, they had returned home and just the two of them were snuggling on the couch, the twins having already been put to bed. Caroline stared at the tree, her thoughts replaying the last couple of days and how her first Christmas with Klaus and the twins had gone. It had been a bit crazy but she had loved every minute of it and couldn't wait to do it again next year.
However despite the fatigue she was feeling from the busy day, there was still one thing left that Caroline wanted to do. She had planned to do it the night before but time had gotten away from them and it hadn't worked out. But now they still had plenty of time, she just needed to figure out how best to go about it without literally telling him. She was in a bit of a playful mood and wanted to use that to her advantage.
Turning away from the tree to face Klaus who also looked to be enjoying the tranquil moment, she spoke. "Did you have a good Christmas Klaus?"
"I thought you would already know the answer to that love, but yes, I did." Klaus answered.
"What about you?"
"It was great of course, though there is one thing I don't understand." Caroline replied.
"Maybe you could tell me, since you are Santa around here after all."
"And what is that?"
"How I ended up on the naughty list?" She replied and when she saw his questioning eyes, she motioned to her ring. "I got a lump of coal didn't I?"
"A very shiny lump of coal." Klaus corrected. "And that wasn't because you were naughty, quite the opposite."
"Oh I don't know." Caroline said as she twisted her body around, lifting one leg so that she could straddle him, his eyes darkening slightly at her actions as their bodies pressed together so intimately. "I think Santa would probably think I've been very naughty."
Catching onto her game, Klaus nodded a little. "You know I think you're right. But you know if I'm Santa that would make you Mrs. Claus."
"But if I'm Mrs. Claus, then how did I get on the naughty list?" She asked with a pout as she rolled her hips a little.
"I don't know." Klaus said with a groan as he felt her heat push against his quickly hardening member. "But you know teasing can be quite a naughty thing to do especially to Santa."
"Well I guess I better not tease anymore because I don't want to be on the naughty list next year." Caroline stated as she bit on her lip, as if contemplating something. "Why don't Santa and Mrs. Claus go upstairs so the elves don't hear us and I'll see what I can do about getting Santa to get me off…the list. That is if he's up to it after such a long holiday."
"Oh don't worry about him not being up for it, don't you know that Santa can go all night." He replied with a wicked smile as he grabbed her ass, squeezing it firmly as he bucked up against her and showed her how up for things he was.
Caroline gasped a little at the sensation of his erection rubbing against her through her jeans. Despite the fact that she didn't want to break contact with him, she pulled back and slipped off his lap, holding her hand up when he started to follow. "I have something that might help my case, just give me a few minutes to slip into it."
"Five minutes." Klaus growled. "Then I'm coming up there."
"As you say Santa Klaus." She replied before hurrying out the room, giggling at his muttering and heading upstairs.
Klaus did all that he could to keep himself occupied so that he could give Caroline the time she needed by walking around the ground floor of the house, making sure everything was turned off and locked up before heading up the stairs to the third floor.
As he approached the closed door to their bedroom, Klaus knocked firmly. When he heard Caroline's voice on the other side, beckoning him to enter, he turned the knob and went inside. The lights were low but still provided plenty of illumination for him to make out objects in the room if necessary however there was only one thing he was focused on.
Caroline stood in the middle of the room, towards the foot of their bed, a seductive smile on her face. "Will this help get me off the naughty list?"
"Oh, I think it's a good start." Klaus replied as he took her in. She was dressed in festive but tasteful lingerie; a strapless corset striped in red and white like a candy cane covered her midsection, showing a bit of her narrow stomach and encasing her voluptuous breasts along with matching panties that covered her most intimate areas. Both garments were trimmed in white, which coordinated with the pair of white stockings that covered her long beautiful legs all the way up to just above her knees. "You look positively mouthwatering Mrs. Claus, good enough to eat."
Caroline smiled tenderly as she closed the distance between them, bringing up her hands to touch him as she leaned in, her corset covered breasts just brushing his chest, and whispered. "Then come and get it."
Klaus closed his eyes as her warm breath blew over his face, sending tendrils of desire curling hotly through him as she delicately brushed his mouth with hers. Klaus endured the teasing touches of her lips and tongue as long as he could before he grabbed her by her hips, pulled her near and finally took her mouth in a ravenous kiss. She slid her hands from their spot on his shoulders down his chest until she could feel the hem of his shirt. Grabbing it, she tugged at it urgently, drawing back just enough to pull it off over his head before letting it drop to the floor.
Klaus brought his lips back to hers, giving her small biting kisses, teasing her with his teeth and tongue. She hooked a leg around his hip, pulling herself even closer to him so to rub against his growing erection. Realizing things were not going the way he wanted, Klaus reluctantly pulled away from Caroline, grabbing her wrists and holding them at her sides as she protested with an impassioned cry.
"Klaus?" she moaned, swaying slightly, her eyes wide and dark with passion, her lips soft and swollen from his kisses.
"You are the one who has been naughty." Klaus told her. "And to get back on my nice list, I'll be the one in charge."
Her eyes widened, before her lips curved into a sultry smile as she nodded in understanding. However, instead of releasing her, he used his hold on her wrists to spread her arms wide, so to study her upper body. She shifted a bit, trying not to fidget under his gaze. "What?"
"Just memorizing the way you look in this," Klaus explained. "Before I have you remove it."
Klaus let go of her left hand, and moved in a bit closer again. He reached forward and gently ran one of his fingers over the swell of her breasts. "Take it off Caroline."
The combination of the desire in his eyes and the deep timbre of his voice sent a rush of heat shooting through Caroline's body, causing a shiver to go through her as she reached to the fastening on the corset. Her hands fumbled a bit as he watched her but she finally managed to undo it. She slid it from her body, before dropping it to the floor, leaving her in her panties and stockings.
"Beautiful." Klaus admired as he brought both of his hands to her breasts, covering them with his warm palms, kneading them gently. At the feeling of his touch, Caroline's head fell back as she moaned a little. Klaus watched her eyes drift shut and a dreamy expression filled her face as she leaned into his caress while he brought his mouth to her throat, delicately nipping and sucking at the soft skin there. He continued with the hot caresses, carefully tugging and pulling at her nipples with his fingers, enjoying the soft whimpers his touch induced. Feeling her start to sag against him, Klaus quickly placed an arm around her waist to help support her, her arms rising to clutch at his shoulders.
"Klaus?" Caroline pleaded her voice soft and breathless.
Klaus turned with her still in his arms and moved them until her legs came up against the side of the bed. Klaus gently pushed her down, and she scooted back on the mattress, lying down against the pillows piled up at the headboard. He followed her, kneeling between her legs as he slid his hand up one leg, then the other before he slowly removed her stockings, his knuckles running along her skin while his eyes never left hers. Once they were gone, his nimble fingers divested her of the last piece of clothing on her body.
Flinging them to the floor to join the rest of her clothing, he straightened up and stood back, gazing down at her now nude body lying out before him. Caroline arched her back slightly, thrusting her breasts upwards and flexing a knee as she gazed up at him; her eyes heavy-lidded with passion.
"Klaus," She moaned his name, the sound music to his ears as she held out her arms out to him. Caroline watched through desire-laden eyes, as her lover began unfastening his pants, pushing them as well as his boxers down until they dropped off his narrow hips to pool at his ankles.
Now just as naked as she, Klaus lowered himself to the bed, covering Caroline's soft body with his own. She sighed and shifted slightly beneath him, spreading and bending her knees, so that he would be cradled between her thighs. Klaus shuddered against her as she tightened her legs around him; her moist, silky flesh rubbing erotically against his rigid length. His hips jerked spasmodically in response and he fought back the urge to just thrust into her soft depths immediately but he had plans for her.
He brought his hand to her face, tenderly stroking her forehead, her cheeks, tracing her nose, her lips with a gentle finger. He cupped her chin with his hand and brought his lips down to hers, lightly brushing them. She reached up to his neck, eager to pull him closer, but he pulled back abruptly.
Unsure of what he was doing, Caroline found herself holding her breath in anticipation of his next move as he lowered his head back down to hers, disappointed when he began giving her light, fleeting kisses on her eyes, her nose, her cheeks. She shifted restlessly, moaning in growing frustration as he continued with the teasing touches. His hand soon left her throat and began making leisurely, sweeping strokes down her body; feathering along her ribs, down her hip, then traveling slowly back up again, brushing tantalizingly at her belly, her breasts. He continued to stroke her, sensitizing her to his slightest touch until she was writhing wantonly under his hand and mouth, her breath coming out in shallow gasps.
Lowering his head to her breast, Klaus finally took one taut nipple into his hot mouth, tugging and pulling at the tender bud as he sucked deeply. He felt the sharp dig of her nails into his shoulders and heard her soft moans of pleasure as he switched to her other breast, reveling in the rising passion he could sense flowing through her body.
Leaving her breasts swollen and glistening wetly from his mouth, Klaus drew back slightly, gliding his right hand caressingly down her ribs, across her firm belly. Caroline whimpered and shifted her hips; inviting him wordlessly to continue further with his caress. His hand seemed to linger for long moments before finally moving and cupping her tenderly, his fingers lightly probing and stroking, slipping easily through her already slick folds.
"Klaus," she whimpered, craving more than the soft touches that he tormented her with. "Please…"
She watched as his lips curved into a wolfish smile of pure alpha male triumph before he brought his lips back down to hers in a hard, passionate kiss; his lips forcing hers apart as his tongued plundered her mouth. She found herself moving her hips helplessly against his hand, but he forced her still, as his fingers began moving with earnest between her legs, parting and caressing the soft folds as he stroked her, his thumb rubbing her clit.
As always, Caroline felt the build up in her body quickly, Klaus knowing the right angle and just the right rhythm, unable to tear her gaze away from his. She moaned again as he increased the pressure slightly, mesmerized by the look of intense satisfaction on his face as she responded to his touch. Her hips moved of their own accord, in time with the movement of his fingers. She clutched desperately to him, and with a cry, she let her eyes close as she felt her orgasm approaching.
"Look at me." His deep voice penetrating into her desire-soaked brain. "Look at me love."
"Klaus…please," she pleaded, barely able to gasp the words out, her head thrashing back and forth on the pillows.
Obeying the command in his voice, she slowly opened her eyes and gave herself over to his desire. His expression was tender as he continued to stroke her, murmuring endearments softly as he began moving his fingers insistently against her tender clit. Caroline kept her eyes focused on his, letting herself get lost in the heated depths of his dark blue eyes and gasped as he increased the intensity, his fingers moving in rapid, firm, strokes against her.
Her hips bucked helplessly against his strong hand as her orgasm hit, his fingers never letting up in their unrelenting pressure. Caroline cried out harshly, his name ripped from her throat as she let the waves of intense pleasure wash over her. She kept her eyes locked with his the whole time, feeling as if she were dying in their depths.
"Caroline," She dimly heard Klaus's voice coaxing her gently back to awareness, her body still shuddering sporadically from the intensity of her orgasm. His hand still lay nestled between her legs, though now it was more a comforting presence than an arousing one. He smiled tenderly at her as she finally focused on him again.
"If this is what I get for being naughty, I think I might just keep being naughty." Caroline replied as she moved her leg, rubbing against him and was rewarded by a soft groan.
"Caroline," He protested half-heartedly, "If you keep that up, I'll have to discipline you, maybe then you'll be nice."
"Oh," Caroline's eyes lit up. "I think I like the sound of that."
His eyes started to smolder at her words, his face darkening with desire before he captured her lips in a passionate kiss. Caroline met his kiss with an equal hunger, sucking his tongue deep into her mouth, his hands gripping her hips, using his hold to roll them onto their sides until she was draped over him.
Klaus slid his hand from her hip, to her lower back before moving down to her ass. His hand caressed the flesh there before pulling his hand away only to bring it back down with a light smack.
Caroline broke away from his mouth to moan as the sensation of pain and pleasure rocketed through her body, straight to her core. "Yes, more."
Klaus couldn't stop himself from grinning at her reaction, his hand rubbing her reddened flesh before swatting her cheek again at the same time sliding one strong leg between hers. The next few swats landed on her right ass cheek before he started alternating. She whimpered again before she began rubbing against his leg, trying to use the friction to alleviate the pressure building. His palm connected with her left ass cheek with a muted crack. "Klaus, I need you inside me. Please."
"I think that's enough, do you promise to be a good girl?" Klaus asked.
"Yes, I will be as good as you want me to be, just get inside of me." Caroline half-begged half ordered as her hand moved down from his abdomen to his groin. It was Klaus's turn to moan as her hand closed gently around his rigid length.
"Caroline," He groaned, thrusting himself against her hand as she stroked him, squeezing gently. She trailed her fingers along his shaft to the broad head, feeling the moisture already gathering there. He rolled them back so that Caroline was on her back, with him hovering over top of her.
As soon as they were settled, Caroline moved her hips against him, urging him closer to her heated core, groaning as she felt the first touch of his cock against her tender opening.
She adjusted the angle of her hips, once more clutching at his shoulders as he began to slowly enter her. Caroline sighed deeply as she accepted his deep penetration, her internal muscles frantically trying to accommodate his girth. When he was finally seated fully within her, he buried his face in the curve of her neck and cupping her shoulders, began moving powerfully within her.
Caroline wrapped her legs around him, moving fluidly with him as he thrust heavily into her. Her soft cries were eventually punctuated by his low groans as they strained against each other. Klaus shifted suddenly, sliding his arms under her knees, forcing her legs back further towards her chest and she cried out sharply as the change in position intensified the feelings he elicited in her.
"Klaus, please…" She almost sobbed, as sensation spiraled out of control and she began convulsing in his arms as her second orgasm ripped through her. She dimly realized that Klaus' thrusts sped up as deep within her inner muscles contracted strongly around him. Caroline panted softly, clinging weakly to his shoulders as the last spasms of her climax rippled through her, feeling his muscles tense as he joined her, thrusting deep and grinding his hips endlessly against her as he sagged into her arms; a low groan rumbling from deep within his chest as he emptied himself into her willing body.
She cradled him tenderly in her arms as he finally collapsed against her, burying his face even deeper into the hollow of her neck, his weight pressing her into the mattress. She smiled to herself, glorying in the feeling of him on her and still in her. "Merry Christmas Klaus."
"Merry Christmas Caroline."
/
To say that Klaus was happy to be back at work was an understatement. While he had enjoyed the time off to spend with the twins and Caroline, all of the chaos of the holidays and traveling had lost its appeal quickly and he was grateful to be settling back into their everyday lives. Well as every day as possible with Caroline in full wedding planning mode that is.
Rebekah had deemed herself their wedding planner, despite the fact that he had offered to hire a professional and the two women, plus Katherine at times had spent a lot of the week between Christmas and New Years when they had been on vacation in New York shopping and planning. Klaus had almost regretted insisting on being a part of the organizing that is until he saw the way the plans lit up Caroline's eyes. That made it worth it but it didn't mean that he wasn't happy to be back in his office the last couple of days.
However, despite the touching speech his older brother had delivered on Christmas day to celebrate his and Caroline's upcoming nuptials, the two of them at the moment were not on the best of terms. Elijah, being ever the cautious one had approached Klaus when he had known he was alone to ask if Klaus had given any thoughts on drawing up a prenuptial agreement when their lawyers started handling the adoption paperwork. Klaus had retorted that no, he hadn't because he was focused too much on bringing his family together rather than the opposite. The two had gotten into quite a heated discussion over the matter and had not spoken since. Caroline thought he was overreacting about the whole situation, though she said she appreciated his trust in her, she wasn't marrying him for his money and would gladly sign away any right she would have to his money if they somehow found themselves not married any longer.
As Klaus walked back into his office, he was surprised to see someone else was already there and not one of his employees, facing one of the paintings. "Katherine, whatever could you be doing in my office? Elijah didn't send you as his emissary did he?"
Klaus waited for her to say something as Katherine turned, and that was when he got a full look at her face. It was then he saw that he was wrong; it wasn't his sister in law. "Tatia…"
Dun dun dun...
So did you guys see that coming? What do you think Tatia is there for?
