Klaus, the big bad original hybrid, wants to follow Caroline on Snapchat.

"No… It fucking can't be." Caroline muttered to herself while looking at her phone.

"What's wrong?" Bonnie asked her.

"Nothing, it's fine." She answered, still looking a little bit shocked.

The day had started pretty normally, she had gone to her classes, she'd talked to her friends… Everything was fine. But now this.

klausmikaelson… That's what it said every time she read it. klausmikaelson wanted to add her on snapchat.

'Is this a joke? – C' she texted him.

'What a lovely surprise after two months of silence, love. I assume you are talking about the invitation you might have received on a certain app? – K'

Klaus was the most infuriating asshole she'd ever had the displeasure of meeting… And who, two months ago, had fucked her until she was a mess, completely ruined to anyone else's touch. And now, when she was just trying to forget him, he wouldn't let her.

'WTH? Why do you even have a snapchat account Klaus? – C'

'To talk to you. – K'

She shook her head, putting her phone away.

"Caroline, are you alright?" Bonnie said looking a little bit worried.

"Yeah, don't worry about it, Bon."

'Good night, love – K' she read his message and growled.

The next day, though, she spent the day thinking about it… Klaus Mikaelson, the original hybrid, had downloaded snapchat so he could send her pictures? In what universe did that even make sense? And why was she so tempted to accept his request?

'Come on, love. What harm could it bring? – K'

I don't know, she thought, maybe I will see the pictures you take and go to New Orleans so I can kiss you senseless.

Caroline decided against saying that to him, knowing that she would probably have a plane ticket to New Orleans booked for tomorrow.

It took her three days and 7 text messages from him until she finally accepted his invitation. And she sent the first picture – a pile of books with the caption 'I'm busy, do not bother me or I will delete you.'

He sent her a picture of one of his paintings, 'I'll behave.'

So that's how they started. Caroline would always send him pictures after thinking a lot about it and trying to make sure he couldn't read much into anything she sent, while he would take a picture of whatever was in front of him in the moment.

They didn't send pictures of themselves for weeks, until Caroline sent him a selfie after a particularly busy day. "I'm tired."

In return, he sent her one of his sketches – a sketch of her, leaves on her messy hair... She blushed, remembering that day. "Sleep well, love."

Ok, maybe she screenshoted it, so what?

The next day, she woke up with two pictures from him. The first one was another one of his paintings, this time of a place she thought that should be New Orleans. The second one, though, was a picture of an ultrasound with the caption '8 months gone'.

Sure, she knew Hayley was pregnant with his baby, but she couldn't quite believe he had sent her a photograph of it.

To be honest, Caroline didn't know how she felt about the whole pregnancy thing. She didn't want to be mad at him because a) he didn't know that could've happened; b) ok, he had slept with Hayley, but she had been rejecting him all the time and quite frankly she had slept with people she wasn't so proud of; and c) it was none of her business, right?

She was his friend, maybe. But that was it. They slept together once and he was gone for good from her life… Except they would communicate all the damn time, so, he wasn't.

Caroline didn't send anything in reply. She went through with her day, pushing the thoughts of Klaus and the miracle baby aside.

At night, he sent her another snap. It was just a black screen and he had written 'did I upset you?'

She sent a picture of her dorm. 'No, it's ok. I just wasn't expecting that.'

Another black screen. 'I always send you pictures of my paintings.'

Caroline rolled her eyes. A picture of the wall. 'The other picture, you ass.'

A picture of his bedroom. 'That was the only thing I sent you today.'

'Then who sent me Hayley's ultrasound?' she took a selfie, showing her confused face.

He sent other two pictures of his bedroom, the first saying 'I'm going to kill Kol.' and the other one saying 'You look lovely, by the way.'

She sent him another selfie. 'Flattery will get you nowhere.'

'Good night, Caroline.'

They started exchanging picture more often and it became more personal each time. Caroline stopped analysing every single aspect of the pictures she took before sending it, and he would sometimes snap pictures of his family when they weren't aware – he never sent her a selfie though, 'cause, as he'd told her, originaly hybrids did not take selfies.

One day, he sent her a picture of this blonde bartender whose name was apparently Cami… She didn't talk to him for a few days; not even minding how obvious she was being on her discontentment until he sent her 6 snaps of sketches he had done of her. 'Don't be jealous, love.'

'You wish I was jealous.'

When his baby was born, he texted her.

'Hayley gave birth to our daughter. Would you like to see her? – K

It's ok if the answer is no. – K'

'I think I would like that. – C

Congratulations, btw – C'

He sent her a picture of him holding the little girl in his arms – Elijah had taken the photo, apparently – the caption said 'Her name is Hope'.

The baby was cute, Caroline could give him that, but in that moment she realized what people would always say about hot men holding babies… She screenshoted that one too.

The months went on, Klaus would always snap pictures of Hope with him, Rebekah, Elijah or even Kol sometimes, showing Caroline how his baby girl was growing so fast. And even though she wasn't there, she started to feel part of those little moments with the girl. It was crazy, she'd nothing to do with the baby she didn't even know, but it was how she felt.

Sometimes, Klaus would send her videos of the family playing with Hope and she would smile so big it hurt her. Of course, she pushed the thoughts of going to New Orleans to meet Klaus's baby aside, but they were still there, lingering a tad bit longer than it was healthy.

When the girl was almost a year old, Klaus sent her a video of him saying "Caroline, it's almost time for Hope's first Birthday party. I think she would really like to meet her stepmother. Or future stepmother, if you prefer. Anyway, I would like you to come here, even if just for a few days, to celebrate it with us. What do you think?"

Caroline is very, very tempted to send a picture of her giving him the finger for calling her Hope's stepmother.

She contents herself with sending him a video saying that she would love nothing more than to meet her friend's daughter

-XX-

prompt: I loved your snapchat drabble, would you be willing to do a follow up one?

Caroline goes to New Orleans to celebrate Hope's first birthday.

Caroline looked around, not sure she could believe what her eyes saw. Klaus, Rebekah, Kol, Hayley and Elijah were wearing party hats. Pink party hats.

Ok, she was in the Birthday party of a baby who shouldn't even exist, so she probably had entered some weird dimension, because something was clearly wrong.

Caroline looked for her phone so she could take a picture of that epic moment, but it wasn't anywhere to be found. Klaus gave her a knowing look.

"No photographs policy." He told her, smiling. "And there's one for you, too."

"Yeah, Caroline. I got them all to wear it so you will too. Here." Rebekah handed her one of the hats. "I will take picture, though." She promised. "It's Hope's first birthday party and we will have it documented."

Caroline smiled, putting on her hat, when Klaus, Kol and Elijah collectively groaned.

She'd arrived in New Orleans it'd been two days. She had spent most of the time with Klaus, getting to know a bit of the city and the rest of it learning how to deal with his family.

Honestly, Caroline was doing pretty well. She didn't have to worry about Elijah, who'd been very kind since the first moment, but Kol and Rebekah were a little bit different. Kol would make jokes about her and Klaus all the time and Rebekah would make mean comments about her every chance she got.

At the end of her first night there, though, she managed to shut Kol up and gained Rebekah's respect while doing so. Things started to get better then.

Klaus was being great too, he hadn't pushed her to be with him in anyway, trying to give her space and respect her… Of course, she ended up kissing him and he had abandoned the idea of even giving her a separate room. Not that she wanted one.

Hope was even cuter in person than she was in the pictures Klaus had sent her and she was such a good baby. She wouldn't cry all the time and just behaved very well.

"I thought this was going to be a huge party and that you'd invite every single vampire in the world." Caroline said to Klaus, sitting beside him.

"Rebekah wanted to, but Hayley and I decided that perhaps it would be better if it was just us."

She smiled, thinking of Klaus and Hayley discussing what would be best to do for their daughter's birthday party. "Well, I feel honoured to have been invited, then."

"As I said, it's only fair that Hope's future step-"

"Don't say that! Ugh! Stop with this stepmother thing."

"Sorry, love. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

"No, you just tried to lure me to stay in New Orleans with your cute baby." Caroline rolled her eyes.

He chuckled. "If it's appealing to you…"

"Shut up."

"Hey, can you hold her for a moment? Jackson needs to talk to me." Hayley said, indicating her husband who was standing by the door.

"Sure." Klaus said, taking Hope into his arms. "How are you, littlest wolf? Do you like your Birthday party?"

The baby didn't seem to be all that interested in him, instead she chose to play with Caroline's hair, giggling when the blonde started to make funny faces at her.

They heard a clicking sound and turned to see Rebekah taking a picture of them, smiling and playing with Hope. "You do look like a very good looking family." She said showing them the photo she'd just taken.

"Can you send me this picture later, Bekah?" Caroline said, using the nickname the other girl had asked her to. "I want to have it."

"I will." She promised.

"Hey, Klaus!" said a blonde, human girl who had just arrived. Caroline recognized her from one of the pictures Klaus had sent her.

"Cami." He greeted. "Caroline, this is Camille, she's a friend of mine."

"Nice to meet you." Caroline said politely.

"You too. Uh, who are you exactly? Another Mikaelson?"

Caroline rolled her eyes. "No, I'm his-" she stopped herself mid sentence. What was she? She could say friend, but then the other girl would have the wrong impression of their relationship. But the English language didn't exactly have a word for 'possible future lover who is my current lover but only for a few days until I go back to college but who might be the love of my life.'

"His…?" Cami encouraged her.

"It's complicated." She said at last, making Klaus smile. "Shut up."

"I didn't say anything, love." He said holding up his hands.

"What exactly do you mean by complicated?" Cami asked, getting a little bit territorial.

"Nik is in love with her, Caroline rejected him multiple times, but has actually always been attracted to him… They are currently enjoying each other's company while she's in town, but are not really together. Except that he promised her he would be her last love, so they might get together for real in the future. Fingers crossed." Kol said grinning.

Klaus gave his brother a look that indicated he was going to dagger Kol sometime in the near future.

"How do you even know all that?" Caroline asked him.

"Oh, I ship it."

"You… Ship it?"

"Yeah, Davina has been teaching me some 21st century slangs." He said looking happy with himself. "So I ship it because you've arrived it's been two day and you're already making things much more fun around here."

"Right…" Caroline said shaking her head, which made Hope regain interest to her hair. "Your family is weird and I need a drink." she told Klaus, who passed Hope to her.

"Champagne is our thing after all." He left to go get her drink.

"So you think Klaus is in love with you?" Cami asked, coming out of the shock caused by Kol's words.

"Look, my relationship with Klaus is quite frankly none of your business. I mean, I barely know you. I'm not going to discuss Klaus's feelings for me with you, sorry."

"I'm just worried, because I'm his therapist and he's never told me about you in any of our sessions." Camille said trying to upset Caroline. "Klaus can be very manipulative sometimes, because of everything he had to endure the past few centuries, so I thought I should warn you so you don't get hurt."

"I don't see why he would mention me, if he knew it would cause this reaction from you." Caroline said simply. "Besides, I'm sure of Klaus's feelings for me, you don't need to worry." She returned her attention to the little girl sitting on her lap.

"Burrrrrn!" Kol said happily and Cami walked away from them.

Klaus returned with her drink.

"I guess I'll have to find another therapist?"

Caroline snorted. "I can't believe you even have a therapist."

"She reminded me a little bit of you." He explained. "But why have a reminder when I can have the real thing, right?" Klaus put an arm around her and she rolled her eyes.

"You are lucky Hope is so adorable or I wouldn't even bother talking to you."

"Sure, sweetheart." He kissed the top of her head.

Caroline left after a couple of days, but she knew that eventually she would find her way back.
