"Caroline got this for you before Zach left." Klaus told her, "From Stefan Salvatore."
Klaus gave Rebekah the beautifully packed box. It was small. It had edgy corners, Rebekah felt that Caroline had probably packed it herself.
She opened it, and in the middle of the box lay a small bottle. It was filled with blood.
"Is this…." Rebekah had no words, "The cure? Is it….is this it? The Cure?"
"I didn't know if you still wanted it." Caroline told her, "But in any case it's yours to do anything with."
She almost dropped the box,
"Oh my God! Nik…?" She looked at Klaus, "Thank you!"
She hugged her brother.
"I should have given you this ages ago, sister!" Klaus told her.
"Thank you, Caroline!" Rebekah turned towards her, "He would have never given me this if it weren't for you!"
She hugged her.
"Wow….Rebekah." Caroline held her, "What a reaction,"
"You are welcome, Rebekah." She smiled, "You deserve it."
Rebekah Mikaelson was extremely excited. She went outside to show her brother what she had just received from Klaus.
Caroline and Klaus were quiet, looking at Rebekah leaving the room.
She smiled.
"She's so happy." Caroline whispered.
Klaus pulled her closer to him. "Hell, after a thousand years," He stopped.
"Happier than you?"
"It's my wedding day….What do you think?" She asked.
"I think you can be made happier." Klaus told her.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
Come here." He nodded his head over to the window.
She followed him.
"Look outside!"
He pulled the curtains away for her. A car pulled into the driveway.
"Isn't this your car?" She asked.
"Wait for it…"
The car stopped, and the doors opened. Damon Salvatore came outside. She smiled.
Bonnie Bennett came out. Caroline squealed. Klaus covered his ears, smiling.
Damon held the car door, and Elena Gilbert came outside.
"Oh My God, Klaus!" She jumped, "I love you!"
"Well, that is such a relief, love." Klaus laughed, "But I am not finished yet."
She looked surprised.
"You are not?"
She asked.
Another car came inside the driveway. The door opened. Stefan Salvatore walked out.
"Stefan?"
She looked worried,
"Klaus….? Stefan's not safe." She bit her lip nervously. "Why did you…?"
"Special protection from me." He told her, "He was brought here safely and in secret."
She nodded,
"I didn't want to, but Elijah told me he wouldn't come if I didn't leave protection with Katherine."
She smiled.
"Seventy vampires are with Katherine and Zach Salvatore." Klaus explained, "With orders to kill anyone who tries to come in the sixty feet of the house, with one warning."
Caroline hugged him.
"Thank you." She whispered.
Her head resting on his chest. He smiled, wrapping his arms around.
"So much….." She whispered.
He felt tears on his arm.
"Caroline...Love?" He pulled her face towards his own. "What happened?"
She asked.
"Nothing…." Caroline smiled through tears, "Happy tears,"
Klaus looked at her.
"It's just…." Caroline told him, "No one does this much….why did do all this?"
She asked.
"Caroline, I love you." Klaus looked at her, he took her hands, "I don't think you have ever since a person who is crazy about you as I am."
She smiled.
"I will kill everything and everyone that brings you tears,"
His eyes pierced in to hers,
"I will bring you anything that brings you happiness."
She smiled.
"I love you too." She told him.
Someone knocked on the door,
"Come in," Caroline came towards the door. "Hayley...come in!"
"No.."
Hayley was dressed in a beautiful, red dress. Hope was right next to her. She beamed.
"The Mystic Falls's guests are here." She told Caroline. "Come on….Everyone's waiting! I thought the wedding was supposed to be exactly 1800 hours!"
Caroline smiled.
"I'm coming.."
She went downstairs. All of her friends were there. She hugged all of them. Stefan waited in the end.
"Stefan Salvatore….I'll be damned." She smiled. "You looked old!"
He laughed.
"I am so happy to see you." Stefan told her, "I cannot believe you are getting married!"
She smiled.
"How is my nephew?" She asked.
"Happy." He told her, he took out his phone, and showed her photos. "Look at him."
She smiled.
"Does he miss me?" She asked.
She knew he probably didn't remember her anymore. Stefan waited for a minute.
"All the time…" Stefan held her hand, "You should come over sometime!"
He lied.
"I will."
But so did she.
Both of them knew the other was lying. She would never come visit them, because it would put their lives in danger.
Zach Salvatore never asked about her, because he didn't remember her.
But Stefan always told her stories about this 'Cool Aunt Caroline.' He didn't miss her, she couldn't visit.
Caroline Forbes and Klaus Mikaelson got married at the Mikaelson Compound, in a very small ceremony.
Caroline was holding her cards, she had written her vows on it. She gave the cards to Hayley Marshall who was standing behind her.
"Klaus…" She looked at Klaus Mikaelson who was standing in front of her. "When I came to New Orleans the first time, It was a visit, and I got hammered on the first night!"
She smiled. Several people laughed.
"The next time I came...It was just for Zach." She didn't care who was listening. "And I stayed….even though each time it was your invitation."
Klaus shook her head softly, he believed it, he knew it was true….but sometimes he wished it wasn't. He wished Caroline would have been here for him, she didn't come here for him. But she stayed for him.
"But since then, I have spent months here." She said, "Days, hours, years…..and I fell in love."
She forgot anyone was there.
"And I just didn't know anyone who would do anything for me." She smiled, tears welled up again, "Anything, and everything…..including forgiving their worst enemies, and inviting danger into his home."
She laughed softly.
