Welcome, Baby Charlotte Mikaelson

"Unless, you are one!" Klaus threw four more broad branches, "Then, trust no one, but your family…"

He smiled.

"You okay, love?" His head slightly tilted, his hands and clothes covered with blood.

"You came?" She said softly.

"Don't I always, Love?" He came near her.

Caroline was bloodied up, tired, broken. Her clothes were covered with blood, and torn.

But she had a smile on her face, a shine in her eyes, Klaus had never seen before. But she wasn't looking at him, she was looking at her baby.

"Baby Charlotte….Welcome to the world." Caroline smiled.

She started to cry.

"What wrong, love?" Klaus asked her, taking the baby from her hands.

"Charlotte was born in horrible circumstances!" She looked at Klaus, but he wasn't looking at her, he was looking at Charlotte. "This is horrible!!! I hate this….so much."

She was sobbing.

"I wasn't the first one to hold her, only some stupid witch did." Tears fell on her hands. "Her dad had to kill five witches to see her."

"Everything is going to be okay, Caroline…"

"No, it's not!" She sniffed, "It's not! The whole Bayou is surrounded with vampires. I don't know where my pack is!"

"We'll fix it!" He told her. "I promise, Caroline….Love!" He pulled her face towards himself. "I will never let anything happen to you, or her…."

Caroline nodded softly,

"Now….Let's get out of here!" He told her.

She nodded again, and she took her baby daughter from Klaus. She held her close. She couldn't take her eyes off of Charlotte.

She and Klaus walked out from the cabin. Several vampires crowded them.

"If you come near," Klaus yelled. "I will kill every one of you!"

He shouted.

"I will kill you all!" He emphasized on every word.

His angered face, the vampires moved away.

Caroline Forbes-Mikaelson had gone from the Mikaelson compound alone, and came back with Klaus Mikaelson and baby Charlotte, or Klaus was calling her 'Princess of New Orleans.'

"There you are….I think, I got lost!" Kol Mikaelson was standing just out of the Bayou,

"Oh My God...Who is she?"

He asked Klaus. Pointing towards Caroline.

Caroline looked at Klaus, confused.

"Drinking!" He told Caroline.

She went into the Mikaelson Compound, Hayley Marshall, and Elijah Mikaelson were standing outside.

"Niklaus?" He looked at Klaus, who was bloodied up. To Caroline.

"Caroline…" Hayley came forward. "Is that…."

She came towards Caroline,

"Is that Charlotte?" Elijah muttered.

Hayley took the baby from Caroline.

"Careful…." She whispered.

Caroline smiled.

"I think we need to call Davina." Caroline told her.

"Why?" Klaus pulled a face.

"A) She is my friend!" Caroline told him, "And B) She will protect Charlotte, spells, before we can fix everything!"

She told him.

"Davina?" She had her phone out, and she called Davina Claire. "I have to tell you something!"

"Yes…" Davina seemed busy. "Caroline, I am so…"

"I know, busy!" Caroline smiled. "Do you want to see your baby niece?" She asked.

"She's here!"

Caroline had to remove the phone from her ear, as Davina squealed loudly.

"I'm coming...I'm coming.."

"Davina…" She tried to say something.

"You know….We should have a party!" Klaus told her, "A party to announce the new Mikaelson baby."

"Why?" Caroline asked, as she took the baby from Hayley, and pulled her close. "So, we can tell everyone….Come attack you getting through Charlotte?"

"No…!" Klaus raised his eyebrows, "To tell them how far I would go to protect her!"

"No!"

"Maybe, Niklaus is right!" Elijah told Caroline, "If people see two Hybrids, original vampires, wolf alphas and witches in alliance for the baby. It will keep the baby safe, and further your cause for equality."

He told Caroline. Caroline thought about it, she nodded.

"Okay!" She said, "But if someone comes after her again, I am running..."

"So, it's settled!" Klaus told them. "Send out invitations."

Caroline called Stefan and Bonnie. She invited them over for the party.

It was the first party Caroline didn't plan. But she didn't care about it. She was having a good time with her daughter. She wished she was born in a better time.

Davina Claire was the first to arrive at the party, four hours before the party.

"Hello?" She knocked at the door, Caroline was almost asleep on the bed, next to Charlotte.

"Care?" She looked up groggily.

"Davina?" She smiled. And she got up, "Come in.."

She smiled.

"My baby niece!" Davina sat on the bed. "And how are you?"

She turned to Caroline.

"Okay.." Caroline didn't say much. "I guess…"

"No, what happened?" Davina pouted, "You were so excited to see her!?"

"I was...I mean, I am!" She sat up, "But…"

"What happened?" Davina took her hand, "Please….I can help you."

"All the people, vampires, witches, wolves….they are coming after Charlotte because of Klaus!" She sighed. "I am so worried."

"I am sure we can protect her." Davina told her, "I mean I know, me and Klaus don't get along well, but Klaus will kill to keep her safe…..and you."

"I would be flattered, Davina!" Caroline smiled, "But killing comes easy to Klaus."

"He's changed, Caroline!" She told Caroline, "I mean the things we heard about him, you changed him. But he can't be a saint."

"I guess you are right!"

Charlotte started to cry.

"I'll take her…" Davina took the baby from her.

Caroline didn't see Kol again, until the party.

"Hello, Mommy!" He said to her, as she bumped into her.

"Oh….Hello, Kol!" She smiled. "I didn't see you there!"

"I never did thank you for releasing me." He told her. "I like you.....but I cannot understand why you would choose to be with Niklaus!"

She laughed.

"We have to get into that conversation sometime soon!"

"Okay, I am looking forward to it!" She smiled, as she held the baby.

"May I, Caroline?" He asked Caroline. "Just hoping that she'll be like her mother."

Caroline laughed.

"Well, I hope that too." Klaus Mikaelson appeared, walking up the staircase. "Caroline, friends from Mystic Falls are here!"

"Klaus has friends?" Kol snorted.

"They are her friends!" Klaus said stiffly, "From her hometown.

"That's what I thought!" Kol said smugly

"Did Stefan and Bonnie come?" She asked.

"Come and see!" He told her.

"I'll bring her down." Kol asked her,

"Kol…." Klaus started to say.

"Klaus…" Caroline said, "She's his family too."

"Fine!" Klaus told Kol. "But be careful."

Caroline smiled at him. She walked down to look for Stefan, and Bonnie.

"Caroline!"

"Bonnie!?" She hugged Bonnie, "Oh My God!! I am so happy to see you!"

She hugged her back.

"Damon Salvatore!" She smiled. "How do you have the time to come to something this stupid?" She mocked him.

"Well, I managed." He shrugged his shoulders. "Anything for friends!"

She hugged him.

"Where is Stefan?" She asked, "He came, didn't he?"

"Uh….About that." Damon stopped, "Stefan is in a bit of a fix!"

"Like what?" Caroline asked.

"Stefan is on the run," Bonnie explained.

"A run?" Caroline looked at him, "What do you mean?" She asked.

"A vampire hunter is after him."

"And you didn't think to mention this?" She asked.

"You were swamped with your own problems, Caroline." Bonnie told her, "I am sorry, and it happened just a few days ago."

"A message, a text….!"

"I'm sorry!" Bonnie told her, "But I am working on it…..He'll be safe!"

"Is it bad?"

Bonnie and Damon exchanged looks, Damon shook his head.

"No….It'll be fine!"

"Promise?!"

"I promise!" Damon told her. "Now….I need a bourbon!"

"Open bar…!" She told Damon, pointing towards the bar.

"Now, that is a party I like!"

"Where is little Caroline...I want to see!" Bonnie asked her.

Kol Mikaelson came towards her,

"She's crying…..Fussy!!" he gave the baby to Caroline, "I mean….This is Nik's daughter!"
