Okay, I said this chapter was going to be shorter than this, but I couldn't stop writing, so it's still short, but a little bit longer.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT! IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME! (A special thanks to guest101 for being the 100th reviewer!)
Please remember to review at the end! :)
Epilogue…
"I couldn't be happier for you, Caroline." Mrs. Thomas remarked, hugging the young woman. "How long do you plan to be gone?" She asked, smiling as she pulled back.
Caroline sighed, and lowered her eyes to her engagement ring. "Klaus and I are planning a Christmas wedding. Well, actually, Rebekah is planning it." She answered with a laugh.
"Christmas is nearly a whole year away." Mrs. Thomas replied, with a smile.
Caroline nodded. "Klaus and I wanted some time to adjust to everything. I mean, he just got his sight back, and Kol…" She paused, bowing her head.
Mrs. Thomas lowered her eyes. "He's having problems adjusting, isn't he?" She asked, and Caroline sighed.
"It's not that he isn't trying. It's just…he reminds me of Klaus in the way that he pities himself because of only having one eye." Caroline explained, gently. "He puts on this façade, and we all know it is, but we don't say anything because…" She trailed off, shaking her head.
"Because he may retreat into a shell, and never come back out." Mrs. Thomas concluded, and Caroline nodded.
"Exactly, and it's tearing Klaus up, in a way, because it reminds him of how he used to be, and it's bad memories for him to remember what he was like before everything." Caroline continued, moving her right hand over her ring.
"You've been a miracle worker, Caroline, but I don't believe you are what Kol needs." Mrs. Thomas confronted, gently.
Caroline lifted her eyes to the older woman. "I know, but what is." She remarked, shrugging her shoulders.
Mrs. Thomas smiled, and bowed her head. "Esther contacted me earlier today, before you arrived, and told me the situation." She lifted her head, and handed the folder to Caroline. "I have the perfect nurse for Kol Mikaelson."
Caroline tilted her head to the side, and took the folder, and opened it. Her eyes widened, and she lifted her head to look at the woman. "Seriously…"
Mrs. Thomas nodded, and smiled, a mischievous glint shining in her eyes. "I believe she would be perfect."
Caroline smiled, and let out a small laugh. "If he doesn't scare her away," She returned, placing the folder on the desk.
Mrs. Thomas smiled even more. "Oh, I don't think he could scare her if he tried."
Caroline laughed, and shook her head. "No, I don't think he could." She responded, bowing her head. "Oh, I need to go. Klaus is waiting out front for me." She added, looking at her watch, and her face brightened.
Mrs. Thomas smiled, and stood up with her, and hugged her once more. "You have a special young man, Caroline. I'm so happy for you." She whispered, hugging the young girl close to her.
Caroline nodded, and pulled back. "I know it's a year away, but there is no one else I could think of…" She began, lowering her eyes. "Would you walk me down the aisle?" She asked, gently.
Mrs. Thomas, a woman with only two boys, smiled, and nodded with tears in her eyes. "I would be honored." She replied, gently.
Caroline felt her eyes burn, and she smiled. "Thank you."
Mrs. Thomas nodded, and watched as the young blonde left the office with a quick step. She followed to the doorway, and watched as Caroline greeted Klaus, who had come inside the hospital for her, with a warm hug and a quick kiss on the lips.
Mrs. Thomas nodded, and smiled. The blonde had found her happiness, and that was good for the older lady.

Caroline leaned her head on Klaus' shoulder, and sighed. "She's going to walk me down the aisle next year." She remarked, feeling his hand caress her right upper arm, as his arm wrapped around her shoulders.
Klaus smiled, and turned to kiss the top of her head. "Is she?" He asked, as she tilted her face up to look at him.
"I asked her." She answered, plainly.
He lowered his eyes, and smiled, softly. "I knew you would."
She smiled, and leaned her head up to kiss his lips in a gentle fashion. She hummed, and pulled back with their foreheads touching. "She gave another request…" She paused, and sighed. "She suggested Bonnie become Kol's nurse to help him adjust." She added, and felt Klaus' hand over hers on his right leg.
"Kol doesn't want a nurse, love. You know that." He returned, and she turned her hand over, and threaded her fingers through his.
"You didn't either, if I recall." She replied, tongue-in-cheek.
He chuckled, and pulled back. "No, I didn't, did I?" He asked, rhetorically. "Not until you."
She smiled, and shook her head. "Perhaps Bonnie is what Kol needs." She suggested, gently.
He pursed his lips, and slowly nodded. "Perhaps, I know for certain my nurse was exactly what I needed." He stated, catching her eyes.
She laughed, and leaned forward. "Is that so?" She asked, and he hummed in response, brushing his lips over hers, softly.
"That's so." He answered, huskily.
She moaned, and opened her mouth against his, loving the way her heart was racing inside her chest.
They pulled back, and sighed, trying to catch their breaths.
"Have I told you I love you, today?" He asked, and she shook her head, causing him to tilt his head to the side with a smile. "Well, I do." He added, as she bit her bottom lip, and smiled.
"I love you too." She returned, melting into his side, as they settled in the back seat of the limousine with Walter in the driver seat, smiling.

Bonnie sighed as she placed her keys on the small table beside the door in her apartment. Leaning against the door, she shook her head.
"I can't do it." She muttered, moving her eyes to the picture at the end of the couch ten feet in front of her. Her eyes filled with tears as she lifted the picture, which was a dual frame with two pictures one on each side. "How can I face him, Molly?" She asked, touching the left picture. "How can I work for the man I once loved, and who killed you?" She asked, turning the picture over to the right picture, and a ghost of a smile touched her lips before she lowered it to the table.
In the right picture, the image captured was of a young couple, looking at each other, happy and in love, before the accident, before the heartbreak.
Kol and Bonnie
Please be kind! :)
I know this is the last chapter, but a sequel is planned, but it won't come up for a few months, giving me time to wrap up a few other stories. I'm thinking July or August, but I'll let you all know, no worries.
I want to thank each and every one of the reviewers for your support (both emotionally and spiritually). I especially want to thank greycecullen. You have taught me a little of your language, and I love it! (I love learning new languages!) Your reviews have meant so much.
I am a Beauty and the Beast fanatic, if you have not already guessed, so when I went to see the live action version, I literally fangirled. I'm still not over it, especially Evermore! *sigh from perfection* That being said, a story came into my mind, and I wanted to share it with you all. It won't come up until June, giving me time to wrap up some more stories. (or it maybe May, who knows.) Let me know what you think! You've all been wonderful!
Title: Fleur a la Bete (Yes, I know, but that's the only thing that will be in French, I promise! It means Flower and the Beast)
Here is the sneak peak...
Prologue...
The world was not as it is now. It was once dark, cold, and unforgiving.
People lived in fear of upsetting the delicate balance set forth by nature. It was such a delicate matter for anyone who stepped out of the white and black and into the gray would suffer pain beyond imagining.
It was that fear that governed them.
No monarchs ruled, no democracy, no system of any humankind ruled over the humans.
Only one King ruled, and at the time, he was feared, a beast by many, and none were allowed to see him, for he did not rule the humans, only by a connection, a human connection, a fleur, as the humans called him or her.
He wasn't a king for humans, but the King of the Supernatural. He ruled over the vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and other dark creatures. He protected the balance, and had only one rule.
No one would break that rule, not even him.
He refused to fall in love, for falling in love was disastrous for his world. He especially would not fall in love with a human, for she would be too delicate to withstand him.
This rule set the tone of the world.
Love was forbidden, and in time, it was forgotten.
For how could the world survive if love was not present?
How could a king rule fairly if he did not love?
How could the darkness be contained if love did not tame it?
But love is the most powerful force in nature and it will not be tainted or destroyed.
Especially true love…
In time, the King began to realize the truth.
Love was light. It was a fleur, but it wasn't the fleur the humans sent him. It had to be a special fleur, though he didn't say, only to his most loyal and trusted advisor knew why.
For since the King was a young boy, he had seen a vision of a special fleur, and for reasons only one knew, that fleur would be the one to guide his world into peace.
As the years passed, the King fell into a hardened shell, as did the world around him, for he realized the fleur, the human connection he needed, was nowhere to be found.
The world, his world, was forever to remain cold and dark.
I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek! Like I said, it'll be up in either May or June. It'll be a bit darker, but not too dark, and will have a slow burn, which I'm excited to write! It's planned out, so it shouldn't take long to write. (I'm trying to stay positive!)
Let me know what you think, and if the title is alright. I'll accept requests.
Well, tata for now :)
Until Next Time...
