Bonnie Bennett sat at the kitchen table at her grandmother's house as her Grams held her hands tightly and told her the news. It could be said by the look on Bonnie's face that she was beyond shocked. She clutched a hand over her abdomen at the news as cramps started and she felt like she was going to be sick.

Snatching her hands from her grandmother's she ran to the empty sink and heaved all her morning's breakfast. She, in all of her 21 years of life, never expected her life to end up this way and she sure as hell didn't want to be the key piece in bring the supernatural world into a era of peace. Why oh why was it always me, she thought as she ran water from the facet to clean out the sink and wash out her mouth.

It wasn't like her to be harsh or distant from her grandmother, but at that moment Bonnie had had enough. She was tired of everything. She just wanted peace and she thought about her 3 week stay in New York City. Where she had met Nik and wished she had taken him up on his offer. She wished she would have run away with him, but no. Her life and duty was here in Mystic Falls and that was her downfall.

As Sheila looked at her only grandchild she shook her head and walked over to her to rub her back. "It'll be okay child and don't worry I will be here with you every step of the way," she comforted her as she pulled Bonnie into a tight hug.

"Are you sure this is what the Spirits told you Grams? I mean, could they be wrong," Bonnie asked, desperate that the news would change as tears filled her green eyes.

Sheila gave Bonnie a small smile as she cupped her face in both her hands and shook her head, "No, they are never wrong and what they are saying is that you are with child, but don't fret because the child and you are the keys to bring balance back to the supernatural."

Bonnie looked into her Grams eyes before she closed her own and settled her hand on her midsection. "Even if that is true Grams, about us being the key, what about the father? What if he wants the baby, what then? What happens to the balance? There is something they are not telling us."

Sheila just gave Bonnie another sad smile. There were a lot of things that Bonnie didn't know and Sheila was unable to give her answers to. The only thing she knew she could do for her granddaughter was protect her until everything fell into place. She just hoped the Spirits did their part in protecting Bonnie as well for there will be a lot of people out there willing to kill Bonnie just to bring chaos into the world.

Bonnie looked at her Grams and gave a small smile. "I think I need to go home for a while," she told her after she pulled out of her arms, "Just to process things."

Sheila became concerned. Bonnie rarely if ever stayed at her home that she shared with her father since he was barely home due to his job that required him to travel all over the world. When her father was gone Bonnie lived with her or when the girls wanted a sleep over then they would go to the house. Bonnie wanting to not stay here with her had Sheila nervous. "Are you sure baby," she asked. "I mean you're already home."

Bonnie let out a sigh not wanting to upset her, but she need to be alone and the only way to do that was go to her house and not her room that she had here in her grams home. "I just need to be able to process things on my own and I won't be able to do that here. I know this upsets you, but please Grams, I need this."

The older Bennett looked at her grandchild and just nodded her head sadly in understanding, "You do whatever you need to do. I will always be here for you and remember this is always your home."

Bonnie hugged her grandmother again tightly, "I know. I just need space and that big house is the only place to get it." Pulling away Bonnie kissed her Grams cheek and then left feeling all the weight of the world on her shoulders.


Caroline Forbes walked into the boardinghouse that belonged to the brothers Damon and Stefan Salvatore and stepped into the living room. When she saw who all were there; she let out a sign before dropping into one of the leather chairs that faced the fireplace. She knew what was happening they were having a meeting and as far as she could tell Bonnie, once again, was left out of the loop, but still she asked, "Where's Bonnie?"

Damon Salvatore looked at the young vampire and smirked. He knew it got on her nerves when they never included the witch bitch or Matt and Tyler and even more so when they asked said witch for help at the very last second. "You know how this works Blondie. This is a need to know bases and the witch doesn't need to know."

Caroline let out a huff as she looked at the people around the room and shook her cornflower blond hair. "How is it that both Elena and Jeremy Gilbert are here, I understand Alaric, but not Bonnie? I mean, all Elena does is get in the way and ruins plans, while Jeremy is just a human as well and just as useless!" She stated.

"Hey, I take offense to that," Jeremy said as he stood up from his seat that was on the couch next to his sister.

Caroline gave him a nasty smirk, "I was hoping you would," and turned back to the black haired, blue eyed male and stated, "It isn't fair to her and you know that. One of these days she is going to tell you no and mean it."

Damon threw back his head and laughed, "That would be the day Caroline that Bonnie is able to resist saying no to Stefan or Elena for help. I mean all we have to do is say 'It's for Elena' and the witch will come a runnin'."

Making a sound of disgust as she looked over to Elena, who had a slight pleased look to her features, and then looked back to Damon. "So what's going on and just what is your little plan of getting rid of it," she asked and already made a note in her head to tell Bonnie about it later.

Damon allowed his smile to widen as he looked down at Caroline and then looked around the room until is eyes landed on his brooding brother, "Well, Blondie, the last few days me and Stefan have had run ins with the one and only Miss Katherine Pierce and it seems that she is here for a purpose. As of yet, me and Stefan have not found what she is up to, but we believe that it has something to do with Elena."

Caroline rolled her eyes at the news. It seemed that everything as of late has always been about protecting or saving Elena, when most of the time it really didn't concern her. Though hearing that Katherine was back in town she became upset since Katherine was the one who changed her over a year ago; just before her 20th birthday. "What makes you so sure it's Elena she's after," Caroline asked, getting more upset as the seconds passed.

Elena piped up and answered, "Well it makes sense. I mean, I'm the doppelganger and I was kidnapped and used before. So, it just kind of makes sense."

As Caroline looked at her friend she saw a smugness on Elena's face. She loved the young woman, but being around Damon and Stefan all these years were starting to get to Elena's head and making her friendships with her and Bonnie strained. Once again rolling her eyes Caroline decided to ignore her and she asked instead, "And what is the plan?"

Stefan from his dark corner cleared his voice and answered, "We are going to lure her out. Make it seem that in some way that I would want to get back with her. Not go all out, but make it to the point where she feels that I am with her and she could share anything with me. "

Caroline scoffed at their plan. "Isn't this the same plan from last time except it was Damon who was luring her out? Can't we come up with something new that could work instead of your half assed schemes," she asked at she looked pointedly at one Damon Salvatore.

Damon was about to give a nasty remark, but Alaric spoke before he could, "I think Caroline is right. Sorry Damon, but in order for this to really work we need to come up with a better plan or better yet get Bonnie so that she can have her input."

"They're right, we should come up with a better plan and let Bonnie know what's going on," Stefan added.

Damon gave a nasty look to everyone in the room, "Okay so we come up with a new plan, but we are not bringing Judgy into this."

" And why not," Caroline shouted outraged.

"Because I'm team captain, Blondie."

Caroline mutter so low under her breath even the two other vampires couldn't hear her, but she did have her own agenda, find out what they were planning and relay it to Bonnie so that she could have time to prepare; though deep down inside Caroline hoped that she refused to help them.


Bonnie was curled up in her room at her father's house silently crying. She didn't know how long she was there, but when she came to it was dark outside. She didn't want to get up and do anything, but the consistent urging from the fetus growing inside her urged her to eat. It was one of the things that Bonnie began to notice about her body changing was a slight urging like someone telling her that they were hungry and they needed food. Now that she knew she was pregnant she put two and two together and knew it was the baby.

Bonnie let out a sigh as she made her way downstairs to the kitchen and looked in the freezer to see what food was left from the last time everyone stayed over and saw some fish and French fries. "How about fish and chips," she asked her stomach as she looked down. The same feeling came over her again, as if someone was communicating with her, and she got a big NO as an answer. "Okay," Bonnie stated slowly shocked out how strong the feeling was. Closing the freezer she looked around the kitchen until she saw the stack of take out menus. She was saying each one out loud until she got a YES on pizza and the baby wanted meat lovers with banana peppers much to her chagrin after going through the list of toppings.

As Bonnie waited for the food to come she decided to call her grams and ask her about the connection and to let her know she was alright. It was as she was picking up the house line that she heard the front door slam and an irritated Caroline calling out her name. Putting down the black basic phone into it's cradle Bonnie answered, "In here Care," and waited for her blonde friend at the kitchen table.

Caroline came in ready to rant and rave about the new developments to Bonnie when she saw her face and knew that Bonnie had been crying. She rarely saw bonnie cry and was immediately concerned. So, holding off on the news she was planning to tell Bonnie she asked, "Hey what's wrong? I went to your place and Grams told me you were here."

Bonnie let out a tearful huff as her eyes welled again. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you," she stated so matter of fact.

Caroline gave her a small smile. "You could try," she pushed trying to get Bonnie to open up. It had always been hard to get the bronzed skin beauty to do so and even more so after their dealings with the Salvatore brothers. "C'mon, I'm your BFF, you can tell me," she said as she went to knell in from of Bonnie; her problems with the others forgotten at the look on her friend's face.

Bonnie gave her friend a watery smile and tried to wipe the tears away, but they steadily flowed. "I'm pregnant," she said on deep sob.

"OMYGOSH! I'm going to be an aunt," Caroline exclaimed and started doing her happy clap and Bonnie couldn't help, but give a watery laugh.

"Only you can turn something bad into something good Care," Bonnie said as she pulled her friend into a tight hug and cried harder.

Caroline returned the hug holding Bonnie even tighter and rubbed her hand up and down her crying friend's back. "Everything will be okay, Bonnie, I promise. You have me, Grams, and the others. You'll do fine," she soothed.

"The Spirits are saying that me and this baby are the only ones who can bring balance back to the Supernatural. Why do I always have to carry a heavy burden," Bonnie chocked out.

Caroline pulled back from Bonnie and looked her dead and the eyes, "Because, babe, if anyone can do it's you and the world would be screwed if it wasn't."


Bonnie and Caroline ended up in the front room watching bad reality TV after the pizza was delivered and Caroline watched as Bonnie picked up her 5 slice of pizza from the large pie. "Wow, Bon-Bon, you are really going to town on the pizza," she laughed as she picked up her third.

Bonnie blushed and giggled saying, "it's the baby. He's really hungry."

"Oh, so it's a he? How can you tell," Caroline asked curious.

"I don't know. It's like a feeling. I need to talk to Grams about it. I mean, it's like I can understand him, sense that there is a connection between us," Bonnie explained.

Caroline nodded in understanding, "It has to do with being a witch, right, and being connected to nature. I can see how you can sense the baby; just like you can sense if someone is a wolf, witch, or vampire."

Bonnie tilted her head in thought and then nodded, "Yeah, I see that and the fact that it's my child that I'm carrying him is making the connection stronger." Finishing her pizza she turned back to Caroline, "So, what was the good ol' gang meeting for and what did they come up with as a plan," she asked getting straight to the point of why Caroline came over in the first place. Bonnie, after she was done crying, asked Caroline what she wanted to talk about, but Caroline wanted to hold off until Bonnie was calm enough to talk about anything else.

Caroline relayed all that they discussed and the plan that they came up with. She told Bonnie about Katherine being back in town and the ingenious plan of having Stefan seduce her, until she advised that that plan was old and done for. Bonnie's forehead creased as she listened to her.

"So, she hasn't come to them yet and she hasn't done anything so far," Bonnie asked.

"According to Damon and Stefan, no, but we can't rule out that there hasn't been anything going though."

Bonnie gave Caroline's words thought, "You know we should just contact Katherine on our own. Just go to her and find out what she wants. That way she knows that we mean business and possible find even ground before someone gets hurt like last time."

"You're right," Caroline agreed. "So what should we do now," she asked.

"Now we call Matt, Tyler, and Elena over so I can tell them the news," Bonnie said, "After that's done me and you will do a contact or summoning spell to get Katherine to meet us. She it was her blood that changed you we can use that since you have a strong emotion towards her even if it's hate."

"Are you sure you want to tell Elena. I mean do you want Damon and Stefan to know about the bun in the oven and we shouldn't even include her on the plan," Caroline asked a little worried.

"I don't want them to know, but at the end of everything they are going to find out once I start refusing to do spells for them and putting myself in danger. Also, it's a given not to tell Elena the plan because she'll ruin it and Damon will lash out."

Making the calls the girls sat and talked more about other things as they waited for the others to arrive. "So, how far along are you and who was it with," the blond asked.

"I'm 2 and half to 3 months pregnant. You remember my birthday trip to New York," the petite female asked. As her friend nodded she continued, "Well I met a guy at the club my cousin took me to for my 21st birthday. He was a wolf from what I could tell. We had fun; we dance, we drank, we went to other clubs, and he took me to his place," taking a deep breath Bonnie paused and then continued her story. "That night we made love and when the morning came he took me everywhere. Taking me art museums and sight seeing and when the day was over we made love all over again and started the morning the same way we did before. When I was with him I wasn't Bonnie the witch, I was just Bonnie the woman. He asked me to stay with him, but I told him I couldn't just leave you all. So, much to my heartache, at the end of my stay I left before he woke. Now we're here with me saying I'm knocked up and that my bun and me are the start of a new era."

When Bonnie had stopped taking she turned her head and looked at a watery eyed Caroline, "OMG! That was so romantic, but you should have stayed with him Bonnie," Caroline stated.

"I would have, but how would I have know if it was real? I mean what if the feelings died down?"

The blond took her friend's hands in hers, "Bonnie from what you are saying it sounds like the wolf bonded with you made you his mate. I mean it sounds the same way Tyler did to me. Oh Bon-Bon, it must hurt to be apart from each other," she stated. Bonnie never told anyone, but she did feel a constant ache in her heart and she was about to mention it her friend cut her off. "But don't worry about that. After awhile the wolf will track you down. He will find you and take you far away from here." As Bonnie looked at her friend, she secretly prayed that was the truth.
