"It's wonderful to see you too Hayley."

"Wish I could say the same," Hayley says before looking back at Klaus for an explanation.

"Caroline will be staying with us indefinitely," Klaus says. I put Josie down, and she stands next to me. Klaus puts Lizzie down and she immediately goes over to greet Hope. Josie follows behind her sister.

"I'm Lizzie, and this is Josie," She says with a smile. Lizzie was always the more outgoing of the two. Never shy and always making new friends, she will talk to just about anyone we pass by on the street. Josie was much less outgoing, sometimes following Lizzie around as she made new friends but never speaking to them unless spoken to.

As the girls continue to talk I turn my attention back over to the adults.

"Why does she have to stay here? There are plenty of hotels in New Orleans" Hayley says to Klaus, completely ignoring me in the process. If it comes down to it I will have to leave. He would never choose me over the mother of his children. Why would he?

"Because she is..." Klaus pauses and looks at me before continuing "A friend. She can stay with us as long as she needs to. This is my house, I allow you here for Hope's benefit. Don't forget your place." I have to keep myself from smiling. I don't know if it's because after all this time he still puts me first, or because he just doesn't like Hayley. I hear the door open and see Rebekah and Elijah enter the living room.

"Caroline, thank god you're here. I'm sick of Nik rambling on about you"

"Thanks, I think?"

"That's Rebekah's version of being nice. What she is trying to say is that we owe you a great debt. Thank you for saving my brother." Elijah says

"There's no need to thank me, I was a part of the reason he was endangered, to begin with," I say, wondering how I could be so easily manipulated into endangering the life of someone I care about. Elijah only nods in response clearly sensing my dilemma.

Hayley is clearly bothered by my presence because before anyone can say anything else, she leaves the room with a huff."I will show you to your room," Rebekah says, obviously trying to escape this terribly awkward situation. I smile at her and nod, glad for a break. As much as I dislike Rebekah, I'm glad she's here. I debate for a second before asking Klaus to watch the girls as they play. I trust him and I can't get any unpacking done with them around. I follow her into the main room and up the stairs. At the top of the stairs, we take a right and go down another hallway.

"This is the west wing of the house. No one stays here other than Nik and Hope. This is Hope's bedroom." She gestures to a door "The twin's room is here next to Hope's, yours is next to the Twins', and Nik's is next to yours. He called from the car to have the rooms prepared. When I told him I'd set your room up in the East wing he threatened to dagger me. His obsession with you is quite tiring, I don't know why-" She is cut off by Klaus' yell from downstairs.

"REBEKAH" She just giggles and opens the door to my room.

As I look around the room my eyes widen. There is a big four-poster bed in the center of the room with cream-colored sheets and matching pillows. Across from the bed, there is a big tv in the wall (Bigger than the one in my mystic falls living room) On the far wall, there is a big dresser for my clothes, and drawers next to it. On the left side a door that leads to a bathroom. Inside the bathroom, there is a huge walk-in shower and a clawfoot bathtub. I walk back out into the main room and go up to Rebekah.
