On Saturday morning Bonnie and Rebekah go over to Bonnie's place to pack a few clothes for her, and for her to get the rest of her books for class. While they're sorting through her closet, Rebekah will make a remark every now and then on how her style hasn't evolved much since she was 16, they listen to music and discuss trivial things, overall the activity is peaceful. Who would've known that Rebekah Mikaelson would become such a good friend.

Rebekah places a pair of wedge hills into Bonnie's suit case. She was definitely going to take her shopping, the little witch needed to step her wardrobe up. "So, when are you going to tell your friends about Damon, the wolves, and his little love confession?" Rebekah asked curiously.

Bonnie sighed. While she'd been living off the high of Klaus' proposal and now moving in with him, the realities of everything else were starting to pour in. "I've been thinking...I don't know if I'm going to tell them." Rebekah paused in her packing and turned to look at Bonnie who was placing books into her bag.

"You're just going to let him get away with what he did?" Rebekah asked confused. Bonnie sat on her bed, rubbing her fingers on her temple. "It's so chaotic, I can't even process all of it. Damon saying that he thinks he's in love with me. Then what he did with the wolves. I just want to push it to the back of my mind and focus on other things...I just want to focus on my happiness. If I tell everyone what Damon did with the wolves they'll want to know why, and then if I tell them about his love confession, it will create more drama and chaos. Honestly...Damon isn't worth all the trouble..." Bonnie said.

Klaus had left everything up to her. Since she'd politely asked him not to kill Damon, he had no interest in what became of Damon after that. Bonnie just wanted to be happy, and if that meant keeping Damon's secret to her chest and not revealing his ridiculous acts from a few days ago, then so be it. Damon wasn't worth the drama, or the explanation. She had other more important things to think about.

Rebekah laughed, "that is something your correct on, Damon Salvatore isn't worth the drama." Bonnie smiled. "So...when are you going to tell your friends about your engagement?" Rebekah asked, zipping up the suitcase. Bonnie shrugged. "I've just wanted to live in my own bubble of happiness with Klaus for a while. I'll tell them soon though."

Damon sits at the kitchen table watching Elena and Caroline drink blood, while Stefan makes breakfast. Two days and no word from Bonnie. He is becoming worried and agitated.

"Have either of you talked to Bonnie?" He asks casually. Elena shrugs, "she's probably so busy with Klaus she's forgotten all about us" Elena tries to say casually and light but the slight bitterness to her tone is not overlooked by the other vampires in the room.

"Ooooor she's just getting ready for finals before winter break. I text her last night, she said she was going to be studying all weekend, besides she told me Klaus is out of town." Caroline chided.

Damon absorbs the information keeping his face neutral. "So they are still together?" Damon asks. Elena once again shrugs, slightly irritated about Damon's concern for who Bonnie was sleeping with, even if it was a crazy homicidal hybrid. Caroline narrows her eyes, she's been picking up on Damon's obsession with Bonnie and Klaus' relationship. "I assume so. If they weren't together anymore, I'd like to think Bonnie would've told us" Caroline answers.

Damon nods and picks up his cup of blood. He watches the red liquid swirl around in his cup, he has no appetite.

Bonnie lies fast asleep tucked into Klaus' bed. She stirs when she feels the shift in the bed, and the strong arms that wrap around her. Bonnie smiles as Klaus' scent invades her nostrils. She feels his soft lips place a chaste kiss on her neck. "Your back" she sleepily whispers, the smile forming on her lips involuntarily. Klaus smiles, "I am love. Now go back to sleep" he says, pulling her back closer to his chest, tucking her curls under his chin.

Bonnie wants to protest, but the comfort she feels being back in his arms, lulls her back to sleep.

Damon wakes up the next morning and heads straight to Bonnie's home. He needs to know where she's been all weekend. He needs to know why she hasn't said anything about his actions with the wolves, and his confession of love.

He parks a few houses down and walks the rest of the way. He is very surprised to see her door wide open, and two men packing and moving her furniture onto a moving truck. Damon rushes to her front porch and shouts her name, not surprised that his invitation has been rescinded, considering how mad she was when they last spoke.

His presence causes the men to stop packing and move towards him. It's then that Damon realizes that these aren't ordinary movers, as they growl at Damon he realizes they are wolves, or more specifically, hybrids. "Where is Bonnie?" Damon demands. One hybrid, Rocko, a tall younger man, with a close shaved head and freckled brown skin smirks, "she is with our sire" he says simply, and continues his task of packing for his sire's queen. "Klaus has Bonnie? Where are you taking her things?" Damon asks panicked, Bonnie couldn't be moving in with Klaus, or leaving somewhere with him. This time the other hybrid answered, a shorter blond haired man, Klay, his patience wasn't like Rocko's, he would love to rip into the vampire's throat, it had been a while since he'd fought a vampire. "We're taking her things, where our sire asked us to take them. Now get out of here vampire, before the next thing that goes in this box is your head" Klay growled.

Damon sneers, he weighed his options and decided better to leave than end up brandishing a wolf bite. He considered going to the Mikaelson mansion to look for Bonnie but him against several original vampires might not weigh in his favor either.

His only option was to use Elena and Caroline as a shield in order to find out what the hell Klaus was planning with Bonnie. Did she even know her things were being moved? What was Klaus planning? He seriously doubted that Klaus was progressing his relationship with Bonnie like a normal one, and just planning to move her in like some serious girlfriend.

Bonnie popped another grape in her mouth as she sat cross legged on the leather couch in Klaus' studio, and listened intently as he regaled another story from his past, swirling the blood in his cup, and reminiscing. "...then of course that was around the time I met Al Capone, he was a young ambitious man. I'm the one who gave him the idea of the Chicago Outfit, I told him he should be his own boss and that boot legging wasn't the only way to make big money in the states. I introduced him to a few friends of mine who were setting up casinos in Atlantic City and Vegas, of course for a small share of the profits. I'm responsible for a lot of the financing around early Las Vegas casinos."

Bonnie sat wide eyed and fascinated, "so you're taking credit for the creation of the gangster Al Capone?" Klaus shrugged giving her his signature smirk.

"I have something for you" Klaus said, dragging himself out of his memories. He placed his cup on the table and went over to his coat pocket and retrieved the shiny little black box. He walked over to Bonnie who was still sitting on the couch. "I know we will never be traditional, and honestly we wouldn't be us if we were, but allow me to do somethings properly." He kneeled in front of her opening the box. Presenting the perfectly sculpted diamond that had been set with a sterling silver band, Sabrina always did excellent work.

Bonnie gasped. The ring was gorgeous. "Bonnie Bennett, will you do me the honor of becoming my queen?" Tears brimmed her eyes. It was like he was asking for the first time all over again. "Yes, you already know the answer is yes, it will always be yes" Bonnie said smiling with fresh tears as he placed the ring on her finger. He kissed the ring on her hand and pulled Bonnie up with him. Running his hands through her curls as he kissed her lips.

Klaus wiped her tears with his thumb and Bonnie laughed happily. She'd been doing that so much lately since her and Klaus started this relationship.

"I have something else for you" he said simply. Bonnie raised her eyebrow. Klaus didn't give her anymore details he just took her hand and led her out of his study and past the foyer and out into the driveway. Bonnie gasped, "no Klaus, I told you I wasn't going to get the ca-" But Klaus holds a finger to her lips, silencing her protests. "Bonnie, you needed a new car. You are going to be my wife and you should get used to having the best."

He was ready to hear more protests from her, but he could also see the glint in her eyes as she stared at the brand new black Lexus IS in the driveway. He'd started the process of buying her a car the moment she informed him of her car being in the shop.

He reached into his pocket and handed Bonnie the keys. She looked at the key chain and noticed several other silver keys on the ring. "What are the other keys?" Bonnie says holding them in her hand. "The doors on the house of course, and then the smaller one is the storage unit your furniture has been placed in."

Bonnie nodded, Klaus had told her that morning over breakfast that he had sent his hybrids to pack her things. At first she thought it was too much, feeling bad that someone else was packing her things, but it did make her life a lot easier. Between getting ready for finals and Klaus, her plate was pretty full.

"Enough talking, let's take your new ride for a drive" Klaus said getting in the passenger seat. Bonnie nodded, and got in the driver's seat. All previous protests about not wanting a new car were forgotten when she slid on the smooth leather seat, and felt the leather of the steering wheel. She pressed the start engine button and heard the car come to life. Bonnie pulled out of the drive way and she and Klaus headed down the road care free.

Damon walks into his bedroom and finds Elena lying on the bed scrolling through Instagram. "Babe you should get an Instagram page, I bet you'd get sooo many followers" Elena said teasingly. Damon ignores her statement and jumps straight into action. "Elena, aren't you worried about Bonnie? It's been a while since you talked to her, hasn't it?" Damon said walking over to his closet and pulling a white tee shirt out. Elena sat up. "Damon, Bonnie is an adult, we don't have to talk every day. Besides it's only been like 3 days." Elena continues to scroll on her phone. Damon huffs, "yea but it isn't like Bonnie to not be in touch or drop by, plus she's seeing Klaus, he could've did something to her! Why don't you care about your friend Elena?" Damon says as he quickly changes his shirt.

Elena jumps up annoyed. "Ok Damon what the hell is going on? I know you and Bonnie have become friends, trust me I'm happy about it since it stopped you two from constantly bickering, but now your acting like an over protective father or something. If Bonnie wants to bang Klaus then let her! Why are you so concerned? What. Is. Going. On. Damon.?" Elena shouts at him.

Damon lets out a frustrated growl. He'd over played himself. He'd now have to rebuild his façade. "I'm just worried about her Elena. I mean its Klaus. Aren't you worried he's using her or something? I'm just trying to be her friend, maybe to make up for the times in the past when I wasn't such a good friend to her" Damon says, he gives Elena those emotional blue eyes and she melts at his seemingly sincere heart. Elena wraps her arms around Damon's neck, and he has to remember to reciprocate and place his arms around her waist.

"Oh Damon I understand. I'm worried about her too. But I know Bonnie. Bonnie can handle herself. Besides this thing with Klaus is a phase, we all have to go through our bad boy phase, even good witches like Bonnie."

Bonnie expertly maneuvers through the curvy roads of Mystic Falls. She hadn't had a destination in mind, but soon she is pulling into the abandoned theatre lot where she Elena and Caroline have frequented so many times. When she puts the car in park and cuts the engine off, Klaus tilts his head wearing a smug smile on his face. "So love, should we have the mechanic fix your little Prius, pick it up later....hmmm?" Klaus says slyly. Bonnie rolls her eyes. Her hands softly run over the ridges of the steering wheel. "No..." Bonnie whispers, she's still wearing that smile, and Klaus laughs.

Bonnie turns to him and before she can even say anything Klaus places a quick peck on her lips, silencing her. "Don't say it Bonnie. Don't tell me how this is so much and you're so grateful...blah blah blah. You're going to be my wife Bonnie, what's mine is yours. That includes a lot of estates, personal property, and assets. You have to get used to me buying you things."

Bonnie nods. " I was just going to say, thank you for the car... and I have never felt this type of happiness before, and the feeling makes me nervous... I'm so used to losing things I hold dear..." Bonnie takes a deep breath, not wanting to walk down that dark memory lane.

Klaus reaches over and brushes her cheek with his thumb, "I have also never been this happy...I am also used to losing things I hold dear, which is why for hundreds of years I forced myself not to care to deeply for anyone but my family... I think we should just hold onto this moment and take this leap of faith together, not caring of the past or thinking of what could possibly go wrong."

Bonnie leans into Klaus' touch and he pulls her face closer and kisses her lips. The kiss deepens and before Bonnie can take her next breath she's being pulled into Klaus' lap. Bonnie inhales Klaus' tongue as it slips in her mouth dominating the kiss.

No other words are spoken as the two claw at each other's clothes. Bonnie pulls Klaus' shirt over his head and she takes the opportunity to free her mouth from his and place kisses down his jaw line to his earlobe. Klaus moans as Bonnie's little mouth ignites warmth on his skin. He slides his hand under her shirt and inside her bra, his fingers softly pulling and twisting her nipple, then his open palm massages her right breast. "...Nik" the change in name slid from Bonnie's mouth involuntarily. She's unsure of where it came from, perhaps she'd just absorbed it from spending a weekend with Kol and Rebekah.

The name change doesn't seem to faze Klaus as his hands move from her bra and down to her leggings. Pulling on her waist band until he successfully maneuvers them down to her ankles, her flip flops dropping to the car floor as her leggings follow. Klaus' fingers rub the crotch of her cotton panties that are already soaked from his early ministrations with her breasts.

Bonnie moans grinding herself on his fingers, needing more from him. Finally, Klaus pulls the fabric aside and slides a finger over her wet folds. Bonnie continues her assault of kisses on his neck, red bruises appearing and healing from her work on his neck. Her hands reach down and she unfastens his jeans and his hard member springs from its confines. As Klaus works two fingers inside Bonnie she slides her hand up and down his hard shaft. Klaus curses, and he can take no more. He widens Bonnie's legs to where her right knee is pressing painfully hard against the gear shift. Pulling the fabric of her panties to the side more he lowers her onto him until he is fully sheathed inside of her silky warm core.

Bonnie places her hands around Klaus' neck as he leads her hips up and down. "Nik" she pants again, so caught up in the pleasure of it all. "Say it Bonnie...say my name" Klaus grunts his grip tightens on Bonnie's hips. "Nik" Bonnie screams in pleasure again. She's so close, Klaus is right there, sliding against the perfect spot. "Come on baby...say my name" Bonnie has reached the point in her passion where coherent thoughts cease. All she knows is his name, she must say his name over and over again until it reaches the heavens. "Nik...oh god Nik...I'm..." Klaus increases his pace, reaching one hand between them to rub her clit. "You're coming for me baby, I feel you, your coming for me...just for me" Bonnie reaches her climax and Klaus follows, coming together. She rests her head on his chest, and the car is silent except for both of their heavy breathing.

Later that afternoon Bonnie and Klaus return to the house where Elijah and Rebekah are in the kitchen cooking, and Kol is setting the dining room table. Klaus looks at all the domesticity happening with a puzzled look. "The hell is going on here?" Klaus said. He'd never once seen Kol set a table, and Elijah and Rebekah cooking a meal together was quiet odd for him.

Kol rolls his eyes. "Elijah insisted we have a formal dinner to welcome Bonnie into the family. I think it's ridiculous, Bonnie doesn't need a dinner to be welcomed into the family, she just needs a white oak dagger to be able to desiccate you for a few days or months when she needs to be rid of your ridiculous mood swings." Bonnie giggles, and Klaus huffs at Kol.

"Oh good you two are back. Bonnie did you like the car?" Rebekah said excitingly.

"Yes...it's awesome" Bonnie says happily, still on the high from their earlier events in the car.

"See...you got a new car and the world didn't end" Rebekah said.

"Now come upstairs before dinner, I have something to show you" Rebekah grabs Bonnie's arm and leads her upstairs. Klaus stays downstairs and goes into the kitchen. He leans against the counter, humor in his eyes as he watches Elijah in his blue button down and slacks, pull chicken breasts out the oven. "How about you make yourself useful and cut the vegetables for the salad" Elijah says not even turning to look at his brother.

He wanted this meal to be nice, to not only welcome Bonnie into the family, but also give his family a night of an age old tradition that had been long forgotten by them. Elijah realized that Klaus getting married could be a new start for the whole family. Klaus shrugs and rinses his hands and begins chopping tomatoes still wearing that smirk on his face.

Rebekah leads Bonnie to Klaus' room, well now actually her and Klaus' room. Bonnie follows her into Klaus' closet. She realizes that Rebekah has hung up and folded her clothes, and placed her shoes on the shelves besides Klaus' boots. "Rebekah...wow...thank you" Bonnie says as she runs her hands through the clothes. "Oh it's nothing. I think you'll find that I am in constant need of entertainment. Todd and Matt can only be so stimulating for so long..." she says simply.

Bonnie notices that some of the clothes have tags on them and are new, she then looks over at the shoes and realizes that some of those shoes are also new. She turns to Rebekah, who wears an innocent smile. "You went shopping?" Bonnie says. "Listen Bonnie, before you get all upset. It's just a few pieces, I just thought you'd like. Besides, you're going to be my sister, and sisters do things like go shopping for each other. Besides you need some new clothes to go with your new car."

Bonnie looked at some of the new clothes Rebekah had gotten. To be honest she did like the pieces, including one blue and black peplum blouse, she was currently examining. She knew Rebekah meant no harm, but all of this was starting to overwhelm her. The impressive diamond ring, the new car, and now new clothes, she felt like she was in the first part of some Disney princess movie where everything starts off so lovely and beautiful then disaster strikes. Bonnie knew it was the trauma from the past causing this, but still, she worried.

Rebekah looked at her expectantly, hoping she hadn't over stepped. She just wanted to do something nice. She wanted Bonnie to feel at home, and comfortable. Rebekah didn't want to admit this, but she had started to care about Bonnie, for the first time she had a friend she could trust, she didn't want to lose Bonnie as much as Klaus didn't want too either.

Bonnie smiled. "I guess I should try somethings on then" Rebekah smiled and clapped.

When Bonnie and Rebekah come down for dinner, Bonnie is dressed in one of the new outfits Rebekah had bought. The blue and black peplum blouse, with tight dark skinny jeans that hug all her curves to perfection, and a pair or black closed toe leather heels. Her curls fall in waves on her shoulders as she bounces down the steps with Rebekah in tow.

Klaus' eyes go wider as Bonnie comes into the dining room. "Damn" Kol says putting the bread on the table as Bonnie comes in. He is about to say something inappropriate and suggestive when he catches Klaus' eyes narrowing at him, warning Kol if he enjoys having a tongue he'll keep it still. Kol sits, his eyes suddenly very focused on the food Elijah brings to the table.

Damon finds Caroline in the boarding house library, sitting on her laptop sprawled on the couch. She is alone and it is his last attempt to get Bonnie's whereabouts. "Caroline, have you heard from Bonnie anymore this weekend? Aren't you worried, it's not like her to just go dark for a whole weekend?"

Caroline puts her phone down and looks up at Damon. "You know Damon, you certainly have been concerned about Bonnie and her relationship with Klaus. It's funny, I've never seen you that concerned about Bonnie before she started dating Klaus." Caroline said casually.

Damon huffed. "Well Bonnie wasn't dating a dangerous hybrid before that was she? Seriously what the hell is wrong with you and Elena. It's Klaus for goodness sake, Klaus! I went over to her house and his hybrids were moving her stuff out" Damon cursed under his breath, he didn't mean to let the last part slip.

But the last part got Caroline's attention. Moving her stuff? Was Bonnie moving in with Klaus? Wow that was sudden. Caroline jumped up, her attention going back to Damon. "Ok Damon, what's going on with you? Are you jealous? It seems like your jealous! You went to her house? That's basic jealous guy behavior" Caroline says accusingly.

Damon fixes his face to be neutral. "I'm not jealous Caroline. I'm just a concerned friend. Remember when you and Elena used to be those. Klaus all of a sudden being Bonnie's prince charming, something doesn't feel right about it Caroline. If Klaus is planning something I don't want him to use Bonnie to do it" Damon said, hiding back behind his façade.

Caroline took Damon's words. A part of what he was saying made sense, regardless of Bonnie's infatuation and feelings for Klaus, he was still Klaus so they could never be too careful. Also she hadn't actually spoken to Bonnie in a few days, just her quick text. Maybe Caroline and Elena should invite Bonnie out, just to check on her, Caroline thinks.

After dinner the Mikaelson's plus Bonnie are sitting in the living room playing what was supposed to be a friendly game of Heads Up. Rebekah, and Bonnie were a team, while Kol, Elijah, and Klaus were a team. But soon Kol got frustrated when it became clear that Elijah and Klaus did not keep up with much, if any, pop culture. Giving Bonnie and Rebekah a huge advantage. Elijah held the phone to his forehead. "He's been in like every sappy English romance movie." Kol said. "I believe he played the role of the man who slept with that sad girl in the movie...about her journals...she smoked cigarettes" Klaus attempts to add. Bonnie and Rebekah laugh uncontrollably at Elijah's puzzled face.

"For goodness sake Nik! Bridgette Jones' Diary! He was in Bridgette Jones' Diary, Love Actually!?" Kol says frustrated. "Time!" Bonnie yells. Elijah looks at the phone, "ah Hugh Grant. You should've just said he shares the name of the famous member of the 1975 British Parliament who declared himself to be Prince Charles' biological father" Klaus snapped his fingers in agreement with Elijah, and Kol placed his palms against his face and groaned.

Later after the game and everyone in the house is left to their own devices, Bonnie gets a text from Caroline, saying that she misses her and wants to know if she wants to meet her and Elena tonight at the bakery to grab something sweet.

Bonnie takes a deep breath and agrees to meet them. She knew eventually she would have to update them on her life, especially now with all the changes. Bonnie jumps into her new Lexus and drives to the bakery.

Elena and Caroline casually wait for Bonnie while they sip on their milkshakes. The two girls don't see that Damon sits in the restaurant parking lot next door. He wants to see Bonnie, but he also is curious to know if Bonnie will choose tonight to reveal his actions.

Damon, Elena, and Caroline are all shocked and surprised when a brand new Lexus pulls into the bakery parking lot and out steps Bonnie Bennett in designer black heels, tight skinny jeans, and a gorgeous blouse. Her hair flowing gracefully in the cool breeze.

When Bonnie enters the bakery and takes a seat across from Caroline and Elena, before they can say 'hello' or ask any questions about her new ride, both sets of eyes fall on the gorgeous diamond sitting on her finger. Caroline gasps "Bonnie Bennett! You got some xplaining to do!"
