Epilogue
6 Years Later
Caroline and Klaus sat on the couch in their mansion in London. Caroline nuzzled into her boyfriend while they watched some kind of vampire movie on TV.
"This is bloody ridiculous!" he yelled. "No wonder why I never watched these idiotic movies!" Klaus huffed.
Caroline laughed at his outrage. "It just a movie," she said in between giggles.
"A movie, it's false information! I don't, nor will I ever bloody sparkle!" he said.
Caroline laughed again.
"I refuse to watch this." he told her.
"There are better things that we could do right now..." she hinted seductively.
He looked to her, a wolfish grin on his face. "What do you suggest, love?" he asked innocently.
"Well..." she said as she ran her fingers down his chest, landing on the front of his pants. He growled, as his hand grabbed the back of her neck and crashed his lips onto hers. They made out, taking (ripping) off of each others clothing. The two were so invested in each other, they didn't notice that someone was coughing rather loudly.
Caroline pushed Klaus off of her, realizing that she was shirtless, she grabbed the available pillow and shielded her chest. Luckily, she was still waring her bra. Katherine walked in seconds later, a huge grin on her face, laughing at the scene before her.
"Elijah!" Caroline yelled in absolute embarrassment. Klaus growled, "Brother, why exactly are you here unannounced?" He demanded.
Katherine stepped forward and held out her hand to them both. Caroline shrieked, jumping up, forgetting that she was shirtless and attacked Katherine in a huge hug as she grabbed her hand and looked at the rock on her finger. Caroline turned to Elijah, "YOU POPPED THE QUESTION! CONGRATS!" she yelled as she ran and hugged Elijah. He was slightly uncomfortable because Caroline still wasn't waring a shirt.
She stepped back, "Sorry," she said realizing his discomfort. She looked back at Klaus who looked slightly angry. "God are you seriously jealous right now. Elijah is your brother, he just got engaged! He is not interested in me." She said as she placed her hands onto her hips.
Klaus pouted. She sighed walking back to him and put her shirt back on, when Kol walked into the door, Rebekah and Stefan following close behind.
"I am all for Caroline not wearing a shirt." Kol quipped. In a matter of seconds Klaus had Kol pinned to the wall, giving him threats if he even looked to Caroline again. She rolled her eyes and embraced Rebekah and then Stefan.
"I guess somethings never change." Stefan said.
"Oh my, Stefan! Did you just tell a joke!?" Katherine teased.
"Sassy Stefan's back! I missed you!" Caroline said as she hugged him tighter. "I missed by best friend." she squealed.
"I missed mine too." Stefan said as she released him.
Klaus still had Kol pinned to the wall.
"I actually think its rather unfair that Caroline here has seen me naked, and I haven't seen her naked. I mean its only fair." He teased.
Klaus stuck his hand into Kol's chest. Caroline sighed. "It was a joke Nik." she said.
"I will rip your heart out of your bloody chest!" He yelled at Kol.
Caroline walked over to Kol and Klaus. "Nik, stop." she asked.
"Caroline..." Klaus growled.
"Nik..." Caroline countered.
"He is acting like a bloody nuisance!" Klaus yelled.
"I will be mad at you if you get blood on this carpet! It was expensive!" She raised her tone.
"Glad. To. Know. You. Care. About. My. Well. Being." Kol choked out sarcastically.
"Yeah, well you were kind of asking for it." Caroline said.
Klaus released his hand from Kol's chest and stomped to the bathroom and cleaned his hand while muttering things he will do to Kol in his sleep if he speaks about her like that again.
Caroline pushed Kol away from the carpet. And pointed her finger at him. "Stop infuriating your brother!"
Kol laughed. "Never."
"Fine then i'll let him dagger you again." Caroline shrugged her shoulders and walked away to the bathroom. Kol suddenly got serious. "I am sorry!" he yelled. Caroline laughed.
She walked into the bathroom and wrapped her arms around him and pulled him close.
"I am sorry, love." Klaus apologized.
"It's okay." she said as she kissed his temple. "I love Y-O-U. No one else."
He smiled and whipped around so that he was facing his beautiful blonde girlfriend.
"I love you too." he smiled genuinely. He kissed her softly. "God I wish we were all alone so we could finnish -" Klaus kissed Caroline passionately as his hands traveled to her butt, lifting her up and placing her onto the counter.
"WE CAN HEAR YOU!" Rebekah yelled.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, the party has arrived." Damon said as he walked into the door with his wife of 4 years, the one and only Bonnie Bennett.
6 years ago Damon realized his feelings for Bonnie, but it took her a long time for her to admit hers. She thought they could never be together because she never wanted to become a vampire. She didn't want to lose her magic. But 3 years ago, when a witch said there was a loophole, she became a vampire with her witch abilities. Caroline never thought in a million years she'd see the day where Damon and Bonnie would fall in love. But she never realized how truly perfect they were for each other in the first place.
When they got married, it was a beautiful wedding in southern Spain. They even invited the Michealson's. Because apparently "most of them were going to be there anyway".
The whole event was planned by of course the one and only.
"Bonnie!" Caroline yelled as she jumped off of the counter and vampire speeded to her best friend.
"Care!" Bonnie yelled as they hugged.
"No love for Damon! I am offended Blondie!" Damon said as he put his hand to his heart faking like she offended him.
She sighed and hugged Damon. She laughed. "You're such a dork."
"Yep. But he's my dork." Bonnie replied happily.
Klaus walked out into the living room and gave Kol a glare.
"So not that I am complaining or anything," Caroline started. "But I know why Katherine's here, so why are all of you?" she asked.
"Well..." Katherine spoke for everyone. "I was going to ask you if you could plan a wedding for like...now." she asked.
Caroline was surprised. "Of course I can. Have you met me?" Caroline asked and everyone laughed.
"Why are you going to get married this fast?" Caroline questioned.
"Why not? I mean we have waited for centuries. I think the question is why haven't we." Elijah answered thoughtfully.
Caroline smiled. "Of course."
4 days later Caroline planned an extravagant wedding.
The wedding was everything they could have imagined. Katherine wore a very beautiful white Vera Wang fitted wedding dress, decked out with lace. The dress looked like it was made for Katherine. It was a true one of a kind.
Elijah wore a beautiful suit that he carefully picked out. It took him two days to find the perfect matching hanker-chief.
Katherine walked down the aisle, after her court of course which consisted of Caroline and Klaus, Rebekah and Stefan, and even Damon and Bonnie.
After the beautiful ceremony they came to a more than perfect party.
Nothing was more perfect in Elijah and Katherine's opinions.
1 year later
Stefan got down one knee. Rebekah said yes.
It was their 9 year anniversary and Stefan popped the question in front of everyone.
4 months later Stefan and Rebekah were happily married in France. The whole gang flew out for the wonderful event. Klaus, Elijah, and Kol walked her down the aisle and gave her away to Stefan. Caroline thought it couldn't have been more beautiful.
2 years later.
It was New Years Eve. Rebekah and Caroline threw a beautiful party, and invited the gang.
Caroline was talking with Katherine, Bonnie and Rebekah when Klaus came to her and pulled her to the front of the room.
Everyone gathered around, they all knew what was going to happen. Caroline was as clueless as ever.
"Caroline," he took her hands into his. "You have taught me the most important of things in life, that I had not learned in one thousand years of existence. You taught me how to care.- You taught me forgiveness," he looked to Katherine and smiled, then he looked back to her. Caroline was totally confused. "You taught me how to love." He paused. "I honestly have no idea why you are with me. I don't deserve you." He said as he gripped her hands tighter. She tilted her head, a tear escaping her eye. She tried to speak but he shushed her and continued, "But for some, unknown reason, you gave me a chance." He paused. He looked deeper into her ocean blue eyes. "And I want to spend an eternity, cherishing, and loving you." He released one of her hands and got down on one knee. She gasped placing the free hand over her mouth.
She shook her head. "You don't have to do this because everyone else did." Caroline told.
"Sweet, sweet Caroline. I love you more than life itself. I wouldn't have it any other way." he spoke honestly.
She smiled. "Will you, Caroline Forbes, promise to spend an eternity married to me?"
She smiled. The tears flew freely from her beautiful porcelain face. "Yes." she shrieked. "I wouldn't have it any other way." She repeated.
Klaus stood up and placed the ring on her finger and she kissed him passionately, holding on for dear life. He did the same.
Everyone in the room took it as a sign when they vampire-speeded into the wall, still kissing and ripping off each others clothes, to leave.
4 months later
It was then. On that day. That Caroline's dream finally came true.
Caroline stood in her room looking at herself in the mirror. She wore a beautiful sweetheart dress that was fitted until it reached the bodice, and then flowed down to her feet. The dress was embroidered all over the cleavage, and trailed down beautifully down her dress. The ivory color matched perfect with her skin tone. Her mother walked in and gasped. "You look beautiful, Caroline." Liz said, as tears flew freely from her eyes.
"Mom! Don't cry because-" Caroline gulped, trying to keep the tears from falling, but failed.
"LIZ! Do not ruin my masterpiece!" Katherine said going up to Caroline with a makeup sponge. "Stop it god dammit!" Katherine yelled at Caroline. Caroline and Liz broke out into a fit of laughter. Bonnie and Rebekah sat on the bed shaking their heads trying not to laugh.
Liz walked up closer to Caroline. Caroline could see she was holding a box.
"Something old and blue." Liz shrugged her shoulders.
Caroline took the box gent-fully, examining it. She opened the box, where a beautiful tiara was. It was silver, with blue gems strategically placed. "Is this Nana's tiara?" She gasped and Liz nodded her head. She walked over to Caroline and placed it into her perfect waves. "Beautiful." Stefan said as he walked into the door.
"Stefan." Caroline smiled.
"You look beautiful Caroline." Stefan said as he walked up to her and hugged her.
"You look handsome yourself ." she replied.
"Yes you do." Rebekah said as she placed a chaste kiss on his lips.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
"I have never been more ready for anything else in my entire life." Caroline spoke honestly.
Stefan and Caroline linked arms. "Are you ready to escort me down the aisle." She asked Stefan.
"Yes. Yes I am." She smiled.
Caroline asked Stefan if he would walk her down the aisle and share a dance with her. He agreed without any hesitations.
Caroline took a deep breath.
Everyone found their seats.
"WAIT!" Elena yelled as she ran down the hallway.
"Elena!" Caroline yelled as she released Stefan's arm and picked up the bottom of her skirt. She ran and hugged her.
"You came." Caroline said with a smile.
"I couldn't miss it. It's your wedding day." Elena replied.
"I know you don't exactly approve of Nik- or Klaus. But it means the world to me that you came." Caroline smiled.
"Of course. I wasn't going to miss my best friends wedding." Elena smiled back.
She hugged Caroline again. "I missed you Care." Elena said.
"Me too." Caroline smiled.
"No crying!" Elena yelled as she broke the hug to make sure Caroline wasn't ruining her makeup.
"You should find your seat before I burst into tears." Caroline said and they shared a laugh.
"Okay. I'll talk to you later." Elena said. Caroline smiled as she walked away. Caroline made her way to Stefan, who hooked his arm with hers.
"This is it." Caroline said looking to him. He smiled. "This is it."
Stefan walked Caroline out and into the extravagant yard. The people rised from their chairs. Stefan escorted her down the aisle. Her eyes met Klaus's.
But watching you stand alone
all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
Caroline smiled to her love. She saw that his hands were placed together and that he kept playing with them. She laughed to herself. Her thousand year old hybrid was nervous.
She took a breath. Stefan and Caroline walked down the aisle in perfect unison.
one step closer.
Klaus smiled at Caroline as Stefan gave her away. They decided to write their own vows.
"Caroline. You are the first, the last, and only women I have ever loved. At first sight you hated my guts. I think the first happiest moment in my entire thousand years of existence, was the day I dared you to talk to me, and you said, and I quote, 'fine'." Klaus did an impression. Everyone laughed. "You made me the man I am today. And for that, I could never thank you enough," he paused looking into her eyes, blue on blue. "I promise to cherish you, to spoil you, to make every day like the fairytale that you have always envisioned. And most of all I promise to be the man that you deserve. If you let me, I will never stop telling you how beautiful you are, or that I love you. I promise you an eternity." Klaus finished. Caroline smiled. Taking a deep breath and trying not to cry. But failed again.
"Nik, you have made me so happy. And in my 27 years, of existence," she paused, and everyone laughed, "I have never been so in love with anyone as much as I love you. I promise to deal with your family," she looked to Kol who faked a hurt expression. Everyone laughed again. "I promise to love you through thick and thin, through your darkest of hours, if there are any. I promise to spend an eternity cherishing you, and your beautiful body, I mean seriously you are unreal," she laughed when she saw the smug smirk on his face. She got serious."And lastly, I promise to remind you everyday that you are good enough." She smiled.
He crashed his lips onto Caroline's and they kissed passionately. Elijah stood at the altar, and flipped through all of the ceremonial stuff. "And know I pronounce you husband and wife." he spoke quickly as he closed the binder. Everyone started to laugh as they stood up and clapped, and Klaus and Caroline continued to kiss.
"Get a room!" Kol yelled.
Caroline broke the kiss. "Don't worry we intend to!" Caroline yelled over to Kol who stood there grinning.
Everyone laughed again, and Caroline and Klaus looked to each other lovingly.
"I love you." she breathed happily.
"I love you." Klaus kissed Caroline again as he lifted her up bridal style, earning a laugh from Caroline before he vampire-speeded them into their honeymoon sweet.
I have died every day waiting for you
darling don't be afraid
I have loved you
for a thousand years
I love you for a thousand more.
