Beep- Beep- Beep

The dialing noise that had filled the car ended and a voice started talking on the other end

"Caroline, hi" He sounded like be struggled

"Hey, what's up? You sound exhausted" Caroline took a nervous breath but she could practically hear Stefan smile through his phone and she calmed.

"No- its fine, I'm just moving furniture, again " He said with a little scoff

"Hey… I didn't make you do anything you didn't want to do"

"So I should take your carefully placed to do lists as suggestions" He snickered

Caroline lost words and started stammering "no…I-you….anyway, I just called to tell you that I might be home late" She smiled at the word, home, he was truly her home now. "Ric found something about the siren, he's going to be at the armory for a few more hours. And while that's happening I'm going to relieve the nanny out of her duties "

"Good, you know I could come over and help you baby sit, I could even show them some though love and leave the sandwich crusts on" He sounded so happy but still genuine. When I started giggling he returned it with a small chuckle.

"Thanks, but I don't think introducing you to them tonight is such a good idea"

Silence. "I just mean that, their bedtime is soon and if a stranger, that I happened to be engaged to, walks in through the door, there wont even be time to begin sandwiches because the only thing you're going to have time for is playing 20 questions with two hyper kids" He started chuckle again "okay, okay…." He started but Caroline just interrupted him "And just you wait until the age question arrives, they will be the hardest interrogators you will ever meet "

"Caroline Forbes, are you calling me old" Stefan tried to sound serious but his voice betrayed him. "Well I would never…" she said teasingly back.

They laughed a bit and then it went quiet, His smooth voice filled the car yet again.

"I'll see you later tonight I guess …" Caroline soon started ramble again " um.. a by the way there's this carnival I promised the girls I would take them, and Ric is busy at the armory that night with some intern thing, but ,I was, if you, might you know"

"What exactly are you trying to ask?" He said smugly "Do I really need to say it" The silence was defining, Really. "Stefan Salvatore, would you want to accompany me on this celebratory evening of cups that spins in circles and a ferris wheel that is going to make anyone feel like they're in any clichéd romance novel. While handling two hyper twins, that will, and I assure you, are going to ask you, Stefan Salvatore, to by them the stickiest of cotton candy. With me Caroline Forbes " She could hear him smiling through the phone again, and he said with amusing voice "a simple please would have been enough you know" He chuckled "shut up" she said and then went on "I'll take that as a yes, see you later then"

…

23:46

It had been 4 hours since he had heard from her last; surely Ric would be home by now. Stefan paced in front of the fire with a glass of bourbon in his hand.

He couldn't really storm her old house just to be seeing Caroline reading bedtime stories in the girls' room. No, why would they even be up now.

As soon as he grabbed his jacket and was almost at the threshold the door flew open and Caroline walked in. Stefan felt relief rush through his body "Caroline, hey, what happened"

Her brows creased and tried to say something but hesitated, then her stance soon became determined and her eyes scanned his body. Caroline's lips lifted in to a quick smirk and it was hard for him to take his gaze off of her. Caroline put her hand on his chest and pushed him backwards.

Stefan landed on the couch, sitting up against it while studying her. Meanwhile Caroline straddles his hips, her hand lay gently on his shoulders and Caroline whispers into his ear " I just had some distraction, but I'm all here now, all yours" She made her point clear when she bit into his earlobe and two seconds after he closed his eyes in frustration she attacked his lips.

He felt flustered but after a few moments he pushed her gently away and she released his bottom lip with a tug. He calmed his breath and started softly "Caroline what is it" She looked a little annoyed for a second but then put on a smile, but not as genuine as it usually looks. Something is wrong.

Stefan tugged at her jacket to get her closer to him, just to get her to focus on him to, she might realize she can tell him everything, he's here for her. But something caught his eyes, a little red dot smeared on her shirt collar.

Since Caroline moved in with him, the blood supply was moved to the boarding house. So when did she get this? Plus she never "eats" in her work clothes. He looked her in the eye. Maybe she had been stressed, yeah probably…

He kisses her softly, trying to figure out if more was weird or out of place, but when they separated and he looked her in the eye, he saw Caroline's' glimmering eyes, thoughts of worry washed away. "What" she whispered "Nothing just glad you're home" He said, her reaction was minimal. Every time he refers to it as home, she always lights up, but now it was almost gone. He is probably paranoid, or something… Then they continue on as they were, even if he had this nagging feeling in the back of his head.
