It is a simple thing to get caught up in thinking of what kind of parents we will become, will we have a parenting style like our parent, or maybe our grandparents. It was simple for most to copy that of our parents and change parts to make it our own. For Caroline as soon as she heard the doctor say she was going to be a mother she knew that she would have to change a lot from her parents, even if her and her mother had gotten closer. Then she continues to think about her ex-boyfriend, it had to be his child, but what was his parenting style. Was he going to be like his dad and aggressive? What if her baby was a boy and had the threat of being a werewolf over his head his whole life. She knew she would have to tell Tyler, even if they were over and she didn't really want to see him he deserved to know. She wanted to tell her mom first, but she wasn't sure how to tell anyone. The doctor had told her she was around 2 and a half months and she would start showing soon. She knew her mom would realize it soon. Her mom got off of work in an hour so she had time to order food and figure out a way to tell her.
*ONE HOUR (and a few seconds) LATER*
Liz walked into the house and the smell of Chinese food filled her nose. She walked into to the dining room to she saw Caroline putting glasses on the set table. "Hey Mom, Welcome home! How was work?"
"It was pretty slow today. So, what's all this, Care?" Liz asked examining the food and her daughter.
"I have a surprise for you, and I wanted to lighten the mood with food."
"Should I watch that I don't eat too much then? Wouldn't want it all coming back up." Liz joked. Caroline just smiled and grabbed her egg roll. After their dinner Liz grabbed a beer and Sat down next to Caroline on the couch. They sat there for a while before Caroline got up the courage.
"Mom, I…Oh gosh, I just going to say it. Mom, I went to the doctor today and he told me that I am pregnant." Caroline rushed through the last part. She looks up after hearing a sob come from her mom. "Mom, Oh I'm sorry. I love you and I hope you still love me."
"Ca-Ca-Caroline, I would never stop loving you. I was so scared that through everything with the vampire business that I would never get to be a grandmother. I am not happy about how a baby comes about, but I am glad to be having a grandchild."
"I am so glad you are happy Mom! I found out for sure today and wanted to tell right away!" Caroline and Liz hugged and continued to talk about the baby and they would have to clean out the guest room.
"Have you told Tyler?" Liz looked and her daughters face. "Are you ever going to tell him?"
"Yeah I Guess I will have to, but he doesn't really want to talk to me. He is happy with Hayley and I am finally okay with that."
"Well it is your choice." Liz stated so she left the choice up to her fully capable daughter.
"I will tell him once we find out the sex of the baby." Liz nodded and they both decided to go to bed.
*Three weeks later*
Caroline checked her outfit in the mirror one more time. She was going to a party at the Salvatore boarding house with her friends and she still hadn't told them. She made sure her baggy shirt cover her growing stomach. She gave a quick goodbye to her mom before walking out the door. As she was going down the road she was thinking through how to tell her friends. Would they be happy for her? She pulled in and saw that Matt, Elena, and Bonnie were already there. She went in and saw that Jeremy and Bonnie were talking by the window, Elena and Stefan were talking in the doorway and Matt was on the couch drinking what looked like scotch. They all turn to her, Matt walked up to her.
"Hey Care, How are you? Matt questioned her guiding her to the couch. The others went back to their conversations.
"I'm great Matt! Really. How are you?"
"My mom stopped by the other day just to leave the next morning. I really miss Vick though." Matt sighed. She felt bad for Matt; he had been through so much. Stefan was vampires, Elena hung out with Stefan and Damon all the time, and Bonnie was a witch, she was the only normal one left and she was going to be a teen mom.
"Can I tell you something I have only told my mom so far?" Caroline questioned quietly. Matt gave her a quizzical look and nodded. "I'm pregnant" Caroline whispered. Matt looked at her shocked.
"You're what?" Matt yelled. Everyone turned to look at them.
"Well if since everyone is listening now, I have an announcement. I am pregnant." She looked down the whole time. After a little while she heard someone moving Bonnie walked up to her and wrapped Caroline in a huge hug.
"Are you happy about this, Care?" Bonnie said pulling back to look her in the eye. Caroline simply nodded. "Then we will be happy along with you!" Bonnie said with a smile.
"Of course we will!" Stefan came up and gave Caroline a hug. I didn't think any of us would ever have a baby, you know the whole vampire can't procreate." Caroline laughed.
"I am so glad you guys are reacted well. I was so scared to tell you." After spending most of the night talking to her friends Caroline said her goodbyes and headed home. On her way she say a girl looking remarkably like Elena walking on the side walk. She knew Elena was still at the Salvatore so she continued home ignoring the girl.
So Katherine showed up. Caroline broke the news to her friends.
To the Klaroline trust I hate Forwood. I know that it is a little late for Caroline to realize she is pregnant but I could really figure out a different way to fit it in the story.
Next Chapter will introduce Katherine.
