Hey everyone! I'm Rhea and a big shipper of Klaroline! I've been thinking of joining fanfiction for a while and had this idea for a long time.
Summary: Though she is an outcast and has single parent, Caitlyn Forbes wouldn't change her life for the world. Her mother and friends are all that she needs, but drama brings itself as the Mikaelsons move into town.

Prologue
Life. Love. Birth
She clenched onto her friend's hand as tight as she could and gave one last push. A small angelic cry ran through the small and crowded room, along with faint whimpers that filled Caroline Forbes with joy. She let out a small laugh. She had done it.
The midwife smiled brightly at Caroline, "it's a girl!"
Leaning onto her friend's shoulder, she cried happy tears and asked "Is she okay?"
Passing the baby along to another nurse, the midwife nodded. "Healthy little thing. Would you like to cut the cord?"
Caroline shook her head, "I'll leave that to the godmother." Staring up at her best friend, she saw tears in Lexi's eyes.
Lexi nodded and left Caroline's side for a moment to cut the cord, before heading straight back next to her.
Being pregnant for nine months, Caroline still couldn't get her head around being a mother. She was young and most of Mystic Falls judged her, but as long as she had her two closest friends and her mother by her side, she knew she could do it.
But in the back of her mind, she wondered if he would ever change his mind. Maybe love her again as well as they're newborn daughter. Caroline wished that he was a part of all of this; be there for the scans, the morning sickness and argue what sex the child was. That was the thing you would do with the father to be, not with your mother or godmother of your child.
As if sensing her thoughts, Lexi gently smoothed some of Caroline's hair away from her face, with a small smile painted on her worn out face. "He missed out on the two most beautiful girls."
I rolled my eyes, "We haven't even laid eyes on her yet; how do you know she's beautiful?"
Lexi snorted, "You are her mother. And you also just need to think of the father, no matter how much of a jackass he is."
Caroline couldn't help but silently agree with the last statement.
"I think this little one is ready to meet her mommy." The midwife whispered in a hushed tone, bringing Caroline's daughter, all cleaned and wrapped in a pink blanket, to her. Caroline was first at hesitant, doubt forming in her mind again. But all those cares and worries were erased when another small cry ran from the baby, making Caroline feel even more drawn to her as she reached out.
The midwife carefully placed the baby girl in Caroline's waiting arms. At first, Caroline was surprised at how light her daughter was, she was worried she was going to drop her. But as she fully held her daughter in her arms, Caroline knew she would do nothing to hurt her.
Looking down at her daughter's beauty, she knew that Lexi was right. Though there were some similarities that showed she was Caroline's daughter, the rest of her screamed her father. Especially, with a little yawn, the baby girl opened her blue eyes that reminded her so much of him.
"Do we have a name for this little one?" The midwife asked, her and Lexi both watching the mother and daughter interact with each other.
Not looking up from her baby, Caroline nodded. "Yeah…Caitlyn Alexia Forbes."

That was the prologue! Sorry it was a bit short, but I promise the next chapter will be longer.
There will be flashbacks from time to time, some Klaroline and others of Caitlyn growing up. There are gunna be a lot of shocks as well within the story that I have planned, so stay tuned!
I would love to thank my newfound beta Lena! You can find her fanfiction link on my profile!
