A/N:

Hello my lovelies! This is a new story that has been floating around in my brain for a while. So, I finally sat down and wrote a first chapter. I don't really know what people will think of my idea, so I thought I would send the first three chapters on a test run. In this story, it takes place right after graduation, in July and will follow through until the end. It starts big and flares, so be ready! A few quick notes though:

-Haley is NOT pregnant nor mentioned in this story and it's story line.

-Caroline and Tyler have split amicably, and Tyler will not interfere with the story line either.

-Original siblings included are= Rebekah, Klaus, and Elijah

-Bonnie is NOT dead in my story. She didn't die after graduation like in the show. She is a helpful, supporting, and ALIVE character.

-Elena will be mentioned, but not often. She's off living her sire bonded life with Damon.

-Klaus moved to New Orleans to start over, not to deal with Marcel. There is no rivalry between them in this story, nor is there a Haley issue, as stated above. Only Klaroline!

-Stebekah

So that's my list! I hope you enjoy this story experiment, and if you do, please review. I would love to hear feedback on whether this story should continue! Happy reading.

CAROLINE POV

I felt like absolute crap.

I didn't think that vampires could even feel this miserable. All I wanted to do was curl up in my covers and sleep for eternity, but that's when I felt the familiar lurch in my stomach. Immediately I sprung out of bed and made a beeline for my bathroom.

Once the contents of my stomach, which was wasn't much, had been emptied into the porcelain bowl, my body slumped against the shower door. I was physically and mentally exhausted, and consecutively puking for the past four mornings was not helping.

"Caroline? Are you here?" Bonnie's voice echoed through my bedroom, and I moaned in reply. The heels of Bonnie's boots clicked against the hardwood floor of my room. She found me leaning against the shower in complete agony.

"Care, oh my gosh. What's wrong?" Bonnie crouched on the floor next to me.

"I'm sick. I'm miserable, icky, and sick." I groaned, and Bonnie gave me a sympathetic smile. But then the same realization that I had had previously hit her.

"Caroline, you're a vampire. Isn't it a written rule that vampires can't get sick?" Bonnie asked me, now slightly panicked. I weakly shrugged my shoulders.

"Okay, we're going to figure out what's wrong with you. I'm calling backup." Bonnie said, getting up from the floor and pulling her smartphone from her pocket. I nodded, which was all I could muster. I watched as Bonnie dialed a number, then placed the cellular device to her ear.

"Hey, Stefan, it's Bonnie. I'm going to need some help." I heard Bonnie start a conversation, and then she left the bathroom for a few brief moments. I heard her conversing with Stefan in an urgent tone, and then I heard her say her farewells. Soon, she was crouching next to me again.

"Come on, let's get you to bed." Bonnie helped me up off the floor. We made our way to my unmade bed, which I willingly crawled into. Snuggling into my covers, I made myself comfortable.

"Stefan is going to be here soon. Is there anything you want? Ginger ale, saltines?" Bonnie questioned me. All I did was groan 'sleep', and then I was out.


I awoke to someone staring at me. Stefan was watching over me, a small smile on his face. I groaned into my pillow, annoyed with Bonnie for calling the one person who would bug me into letting him care for me.

"Go away, Stefan." I was a bit snarky, mostly because I didn't want to be pestered by my overcaring friends. All I wanted was to feel better and to get on with my life. But I knew Stefan and Bonnie would not be letting that happen.

"You have to tell me what's wrong before I will go away." He rebutted, and I turned my head to face Stefan, who was giving me an even bigger teasing smile.

"I feel like crap. But I'm kinda feeling normal." I replied, sitting up in my bed. The nausea I had felt earlier had seemed to disappear. That was something that had been common the past couple days. I would feel like death for an hour and a half, then all the sudden feel better.

"Bonnie said you were throwing up. That's not normal, especially for a vampire. Whatever is going on, Caroline, we need to fix it or figure it out." Stefan had taken on a more serious expression. I looked at him, and pondered it for a moment. I was really tired of being sick. Figuring out what was going on could be beneficial.

"What do we need to do?" I asked Stefan, my hands absentmindedly toying with the quilt that covered my full size bed.

"That would be a question for our resident witch." Stefan remarked, making me let out a small laugh. Bonnie was our go-to for anything magical, which I think was a bit annoying to her. But in the end, she was always willing to help us.

"Okay."

I pulled myself out of bed, and headed towards my closet to change out of my wrinkled pajamas. I felt semi-better. Choosing a quick outfit consisting of a tank top, a pair of shorts, and a pair of wedged sandals, I shooed Stefan out of my room so that I could change. He hastily removed himself, and I began to quickly change. Throwing a new set of undergarments on, I slipped the tank top over my head and wrestled my jean shorts on. My shorts were a bit hard to button, but I was able to wrangle them on. Lastly, I slid on my sandals before I left my room and headed to the living room. Stefan stood waiting, with Bonnie next to him.

"So what are we going to do?" I asked, and Bonnie pulled her grimoire from behind her back.

"We are going to use a good old fashioned detection spell to see what's making you feel so hellish. Once that's done, we'll work on a cure or a remedy if needed. If it's something even more complicated, we'll work from there." Bonnie placed her grimoire on the coffee table, and Stefan began lighting the candles that had been spread across my living room.

"You're going to need blood, I assume?" I asked Bonnie as I sat on the floor in front of the coffee table. Bonnie nodded as she placed a stone mortar and pedestal on the table before dumping a small array of herbs inside it. I willingly offered my hand, and Bonnie gently pricked my finger, letting the small crimson drop fall into the stone vestibul.

"Okay, here we go." Bonnie finished mixing the ingredients of the spell, and opened her grimoire to a specific page. Her eyes scanned the page before a slur of words left her lips.

"Suscipe benedictionem hanc viam ostendit nobis sanitatem, ac prae se ferre alicuius amici mei plerasque evenire. Nobis auxilium sanare est amens, et fructum in lumine consolationis." Bonnie spoke the spell effortlessly. After a moment, her eyes shot open and a loud gasp escaped her lips. A look of disbelief crossed her face, and panic surged through my veins.

"Bonnie, what's wrong with me? What did you see?" I fired questions at her, and Bonnie was hesitant to respond. It was like she was speechless.

"What's wrong with Caroline, Bonnie?" Stefan joined in my interrogation, which prompted Bonnie to speak.

"Maybe it's best if Caroline and I have a girl moment." Bonnie looked from me to Stefan with a determined glance, but I shot her idea down. I needed Stefan there, mostly for my own sanity.

"It's fine, Bonnie. Whatever is wrong with me, Stefan can know. He's here for me." I responded, and Bonnie nodded with my confirmation and consent. It looked as if words were failing her for a moment until she finally blurted out the diagnosis.

"Believe me, I don't know how this is physically even possible, but apparently it is. Caroline, you're pregnant."
