I don't own Vampire Diaries.

Chapter 3: Cross my Mind.

It was a beautiful sunny day. Viola was just finishing the dishes, watching her children play in the garden through the window. She smiled. Today she didn't have a care in the world because her children were happy.

"Hello my beautiful babies." She said as she walked outside to join them in the garden. They started chasing each other not having a care in the world.

"Daddy!" Her only daughter yelled as she moved towards the figure who joined them in the garden.

The figure picked up the little girl kissed her forehead and put her down again. The figure was so clear but somehow Viola couldn't make out his face. He placed his hands on her cheeks, pulled her towards him and kissed her tenderly. "Who would have thought that taking a little vacation could bring me this much happiness." He whispered in her ear, there was something familiar about the way he speaks. She pulled away from him his face slowly coming to view. She smiled at him.

"Welcome home, my Love."

Viola woke up with a start. She looked around and saw that Bonnie was no longer in the room with her. She shook her head reminding herself that it was just a dream. She reached for her phone and checked the time. It was 10:00. She missed breakfast. She got out of bed and took a shower, her dream playing on repeat in her mind. Once she got dressed, she sat in front of the mirror, looked at her hair and pulled a face.

"Should I do my hair or not?" She looked at her brush and shook her head. "I don't need to impress anyone." She put her hair in a bun and as she was about to leave her room she got a call from Freya and Ingrid.

"So? How is it?" Ingrid asked.

"It's okay. I haven't really had a lot of time to bond with Elena because of her boy troubles." She rolled her eyes.

"Hey sis, speaking of sisters with boy troubles. How are your boy troubles?" Freya asked.

"I don't even have a boy. How can I have boy troubles?" Viola asked her sister, Freya really is ruled by her heart.

"Let her be, Freya. Not all of us has romance in mind when we do something." Ingrid admonished.

"Oh please, every girl needs a little love, Ingrid. We can't all be robots."

"Enough you two." Viola intervened.

Freya pulled a face. "I could always conjure up a little love spell."

"Thanks but no thanks. I don't want to be under any spell of any sort. I can find love on my own." She pursed her lips. "I had a weird dream last night." She told them about her dream and how she recognised the man but didn't really register who he was. They had a lot of ideas and thoughts about what the dream could mean. Ingrid maintained that it could just be a dream but because of who they are they decided that it would be better to get a second opinion. Freya who is obsessed with anything romantic maintained that it is a premonition of what her future will be. Ingrid said she would find out from their aunt what it might mean. Freya, on the other hand had a different idea but decided not to tell her sisters about it. She checked the time, how did she speak to her sisters for so long. She had taken an hour to get ready and spoke to her sisters for two.

After her talk with her sisters she decided to go find her other sister. She found them on the tennis courts. Damon and Elena against Caroline and Tyler, while Bonnie watches the game.

"Hey Bon Bon," Viola greeted as she went to sit next to Bonnie "why didn't you wake me?"

"You looked so peaceful, I didn't want to wake you." Bonnie answered her.

"You should have," she said looking at the match in front of her. "Is it me or are they using a little too much force?"

"They want to see how much of their supernatural strength they can use before people start noticing."

"That's a little irresponsible."

"Tyler and Damon are both hot headed, I still don't know why they aren't best friends."

"I actually came to hang out with Elena but she seems busy." Viola said. "Elena nod your head if you are using your Vampire hearing." She directed to Elena. She watched as Elena gave a quick nod. "Let's grab brunch tomorrow."

She did want to wait for Elena but something, she didn't know what, was telling her that she needed to be somewhere else.

She followed her instinct and walked to the bar where she found Stefan. She went to sit next to him. "It's a little early to drink, don't you think?"

"Do you want to do something?" He asked her ignoring her statement.

"What do you want to do?" She asked him a frown forming on her face.

"I don't know, let's just get out of here."

"So I heard there's paintball," she stated. "The kind that's in the movie 'Ten Things I Hate About You', not the kind where it takes me weeks to recover from all the bruises."

"Let's do that." He said, got up and waited for her to lead the way.

They had spent most of the time just playing with the paintballs. By the time they were done and took another shower it was five.

When they met up again Stefan looked at Viola. "You look a little weak," he stated. "Are you okay."

"Yeah, I am okay," she said with a smile. "At least I will be once I eat something."

"Well let's go eat." Stefan said and lead her back to the bar they got together at.

"So what drew you to Elena?" Viola asked as she bit down on her burger.

"Her eyes." Stefan answered. "There was just something that drew me to her, in her eyes." Stefan said as he got a far off look in his eyes. Viola smiled sadly.

She didn't know why but there was something that happened to her as she heard his answer and without realising it she grabbed his beer and took a big sip.

"How do you feel about her now?"

"Honestly, I don't want to talk about it." He said. He called the waiter over and ordered two of their strongest drinks. "What is the history between you and Tyler?" Stefan asked and saw a flash of sadness across her face. He thought to himself that she must still love him. She was quiet. It was only when waiter brought over the drinks that she looked up at him. He ordered the drinks for himself because he knew she doesn't drink. He saw her reach out her hand and take one of his drinks.

"Remember a few days ago?" She asked him. "When you and Damon had that fight over what is best for Elena?" He nodded his head.

"It wasn't one of my best moments."

"Okay, well keep that night in mind." She took a sip, pulled her face and continued. "A few years back, Tyler and I were dating and we rebelled like every other teenager. One night when we got a little too drunk we decided that we were ready for... you know." She shook her head and he waited for her to continue. "He was my first and I was his. We were 16 at the time. A few weeks later I realised that I was late, it also hit me that we were too drunk to think about protection so scare of my life, turns out it was true, I was pregnant." She looked down at the drink in front of her and took a breath. Stefan patiently waiting for her to continue.

"At first, I was in denial and when that was over I thought of abortion but my parents found out and they stopped me. I spent most of my pregnancy looking into adoption but when I was about 7 months I realised that I couldn't give my child away, I wanted my baby. When I finally gave birth..." a lone tear running down her cheek. "My baby was stillborn." She told him about how she and Tyler promised that they would get together on their daughter's birthday and celebrate her and support each other. "That night, the whole 'what's best for Elena fight night' was my baby's birthday. We named her Amor."

They continued drinking. Viola broke her rule of never drinking again they drank until everything went blank. The next morning when Viola woke up, she felt arms wrapped around her. She opened her eyes only to stare at someone's muscular chest. She looked up to see the sleeping form of Stefan Salvatore.

Dum dum daaaaaaa

Until next time.
