Chapter 2

Tyler was trying his best to take the hat that Caroline had put on his head off, but she kept smacking his hand. "I said you are wearing it," she pulled his hands away from the birthday hat again as they walked outside. They had come back downstairs after what they had done. She had let him change out of the jeans he'd had on into a pair of shorts. She didn't want the other vampires there smelling what they had done. "If you touch that hat one more time I will spank you," she threatened before kissing him.

"You can't threaten him then kiss him, it's like rewarding for a wrong doing," Damon said rolling his eyes, "Take hat off again then she'll break your neck," he said it in low voice so nobody that was human could hear him.

Caroline gasped, "Damon Salvatore, you will do no such thing to my boyfriend," she hit him giving him a look. She knew he was joking though and she didn't have to worry when Tyler and he were near each other. "You behave or I tell Elena spank you," she smiled knowing that would get him to stop.

"I will do that any time of the day," Elena said with a smile of her own.

"Just tell me you got whiskey here and I won't really care," Tyler said looking around see if he saw a bottle. They'd been drinking from the keg so far since it was what Caroline got for the other guests.

"You want a bowl or will this do?" Damon asked pulling flask out he'd already filled up.

Tyler snatched it from him turning it up before Damon could pull it back, "Nope, don't need bowl," he smirked handing it back before pulling Caroline over to where some of the others were dancing.

He'd learned to ignore Damon's jokes now and he had figured him out. He'd even told Damon the conclusion he'd come too. Damon liked him, but would never admit it in actual words right out, so he had the comments and few other things. The comments about causing his death weren't an everyday thing now. Tyler also knew that Damon wouldn't actually kill him because he had saved not just Stefan's life, but Elena's and Damon's too. He'd put the fact he'd bitten him in the past.

Caroline was glad that Tyler was having a good time and she squealed as he lifted her up spinning her around to the song that was playing. "Just don't drop me," she giggled when he tipped her down so she was about an inch from the ground. He acted like he was and she let a squeak out as he caught her. "Tyler," she playfully hit his arm as they stood back up before he kissed her.

"Wouldn't dream of it," he said holding her close as a slow song came on next. He had hated his eighteenth birthday because he'd been stuck with the back stabber. He'd only wanted to be with Caroline that day and he'd been cranky as hell because he couldn't be. The text and picture had made his day last year and when he'd gotten back to her it had been wonderful. He just wished that his mom could be here like she had been last year. It had been nice just having food, cake and gifts with the two women he loved.

Matt and Jeremy put the burgers on the table that everybody was sitting around so they could eat. Caroline had bought enough food for an army they had sworn when they had helped her pick it up. She had given them the job of getting the food while she got the decorations since she hadn't been able to leave till the day before from college. "That's the last of the burgers," Matt said. It had been a box of a hundred that Caroline had gotten so they'd fixed about forty of them knowing some might want seconds or thirds. They had fixed some hot dogs too, but most had wanted burgers more.

"I promise this is store bought, I won't kill you with my cooking," Elena said putting the Cole slaw on the table knowing half of them didn't know how bad she could cook. It was also an inside joke since most of them were already dead that were there.

"Good to know, but you'd already done it with the bad singing first thing in the morning," Tyler joked laughing when she tried to hit him, she was pretty good at it and when Caroline Bonnie and her all joined in together it sounded great. It was just first thing in the morning was bad cause he wanted to sleep in.

"See if I give you my notes next time," Elena retorted back laughing herself, before she added, "You joined the three of us that one time, I think Bonnie recorded it on her phone too,"

"Oh we have to hear this," Jeremy said before he took Bonnie's phone she had on the table. He easily moved the phone when Tyler tried to grab for it, "Too slow, Lockwood," he pulled up the video and hit the play button on it.

"Gilbert," Tyler growled out, but he wasn't really trying to get him, "I'll get you back later for this," he shook his head wishing he could hide while the video played out. It was his birthday; he wasn't supposed to be getting this kind of attention.

"You four could sing professional if you wanted to," one of the girls that Caroline thought name was Cindy said, she knew that the girl was in the college's music program and had Biology with them.

"I once sung at The Grill, it's the only real place to hang out in town for fun," Caroline said taking Tyler's hand. She had sung Eternal Flame to him after he had shown up that night. She still wasn't sure the reason behind Tyler not leaving with Jules that night. All he had said was that a friend told him if he really loved her he wouldn't walk out on her. She had never found out that Matt was the one that told him he was an idiot if he walked out on her.

Tyler smiled at her squeezing her hand back. He owed Matt for yelling at him for wanting to leave after what he'd said. He had walked out of The Grill about to go and give Caroline her phone back, but Matt stopped him. He'd told him if he walked out on Caroline then he was going to kick his ass. He hadn't meant to let it slip he was leaving, but he was glad. He had known how much Matt loved Caroline and he could have let him leave, but he hadn't. He still remembered what his best friend said, he never forgot those words and he kept his promise every day not to hurt Caroline.

He still remembered the phone call he'd gotten from Matt yelling at him for being a coward and not wanting to go to college with Caroline. It hadn't been that he was a coward; he'd just been trying to keep himself from getting hurt again. Every time he got to be with Caroline it was ripped away for some reason. Matt threatening to come and drag him back had worked because he'd shown up a few days later. He had been lying beside Caroline when she woke up that morning surprising her. He'd promised her he wasn't going anywhere again less she was there.

Tyler sat down under one of the trees that were in the backyard watching the others throwing the Frisbee back and forth. He wasn't even sure who had brought it out, but he just wanted to sit for a few minutes and think. He was stuffed from the meal they'd just finished a little while before. He had been having fun so far even after the video Jer had brought out. While they'd been eating Caroline and the others decided to tell a few stories about past birthdays.

He hadn't minded any of them, but he had noticed that Caroline left two out in the story telling. The two birthdays had meant something more to him and he was glad she left them out. Last year's was one of them and then his tenth birthday party. He closed his eyes against the sun wondering if he'd fall asleep from being so stuffed. He couldn't help, but think about the year his mom had been sick and his dad hadn't cared it was his birthday. Matt and Elena had gotten Bonnie and Caroline's help and did the best they could for a birthday party.

Elena had gotten her mom to make him the cake, which Caroline had specified what type it had to be. Bonnie had helped Caroline with the hats and Matt was the one that had gotten him to Elena's house. He hadn't wanted to go because he'd been depressed that nobody had remembered his tenth birthday. He'd been sitting alone in the garage that afternoon and he remembered that Caroline had informed him through Matt she would drag him by the ear there if he didn't show willingly.

Tyler had found another surprise when he'd gotten there, Mason had been there. It was one of the only birthdays before his Uncle had left that he had been there. He missed Mason and he still felt like he'd let him down somehow, sometimes. He had been the one that gave him the moonstone, Mason was killed no more than few days after that.

"Are you trying to get some sun? Because I don't think you'll get one," Jessie said, cutting into Tyler's thoughts.

"Nah, just thinking," Tyler looked up after he opened his eyes giving his friend a smile, "I think I over ate, no way can I run around after a flying object just yet,"

"Tell me about it," Jessie sat down on the grass too so it was easier to talk, "I think they want to start playing football soon, I opted out," he could play no problem, but he still wasn't used to pulling in his strength. He had about broken the beer bottle earlier when he'd gripped the thing.

"I hid the football that Damon had so we're safe for now," Tyler laughed knowing that Damon wouldn't look on the roof of the house for the ball. He'd put it there for a reason knowing he'd bring it out at some point. He just hoped that Caroline didn't go telling where she'd watched him put it. "Are you doing alright?" Tyler asked, he knew that Jessie had been a little weirded out when he found out the truth about the night life.

"I made sure I ate before I came," he said still thankful that Dr. Wes had been dealt with and they had found a cure for what had been done to him. He had almost been killed, but before he'd been staked Tyler had broken his neck so he didn't kill Damon. "You ever get used to this, never aging or growing old? The fact we have to drink blood or we'll desiccate?"

There wasn't really an answer that Tyler could give him because it was only his second birthday being a vampire. He told him that too, "But having friends have helped," he smiled seeing Caroline trying to get the Frisbee back from Jeremy who was holding it out of her reach. "Caroline's the reason I haven't given up though," he had wanted to give up so many times, but Caroline kept him going, "She's stood by me through all of this, as for the blood, I only fed from her," she'd caught him with that girl that Rebekah brought to his house. Caroline had punched the shit out of him giving him and ultimatum that night. He had to pick what he wanted to fed from a living person or be with her. There had been no need to think he'd said her in an instant.

"Tyler, make him give it back," Caroline yelled over at him pouting making both him and Jessie laugh. She could easily jump up and get it, but with people there that didn't know the truth she couldn't. Jeremy was taking full advantage of that keeping it out of her reach.

"She found us out," Jessie said as they got up, "Before I forget, I found that book I was telling you about," he'd seen it during the hours that he'd been tied up in Dr. Wes' lab. He had gone back there and after some digging around he had located it. "There's a page in there near the middle about werewolves," he didn't know if it was going help his friend out, but it was his birthday gift to him, "I hope it works," he added as Tyler started flipping through the pages.

It took about a minute, but Tyler found what he had hoped would be in the book. "Thanks, Jessie," It was his birthday never the less he was going to give Caroline something today too. He closed the book before joining his friends easily getting the Frisbee from Jer giving it to Caroline. "I know how to get you pregnant," he whispered before sucking on where her pulse would be.

Caroline squealed out not expecting him to do that about dropping the Frisbee, "You are a bad boy," she threw it through the air before she turned around kissing him. "Well, tonight you'll just have to tell me what it is," she had known that Jessie found the book, but he hadn't let her see it first. He'd said it was for Tyler so he could tell her once he got it.

"I'll tell you right now," Tyler said taking her hand and walking so they were just inside the house anybody could see them though. He gave her a grin before moving behind her so she was in front of the glass doors. He knew she was probably going to get him for teasing her, but he was craving her again. "The mad doctor has a cure for a werewolf bite and it's not my maker's blood," he whispered opening the book up in front of her letting Caroline take it.

When she did he kissed a trail down her neck as his hands worked making circles on her stomach. "Tyler," she moaned out when the circles turned into his name being spelled out. She read the entry doing her damndest not to be affected by his hands and mouth, but it was no use. She was doomed when it came to the man she loved. She about dropped the book when she heard the zipper on his shorts going down. "You are not…" she trailed off moaning as he pushed her skirt up some.

Tyler easily lifted her up just right thrusting inside of her from behind. If anybody looked up towards the house they could see what they were doing. He just couldn't care right now because he was so happy. "Yes I am," he replied at her as he held her hips moving in and out quick and fast.
