Chapter 10

Caroline woke up in the morning finding Stefan Salvatore next to her smiling sending the blond giggling happily. After what Stefan had done last night, Caroline felt as if nothing bad could ever happen to her ever again. Just imagine, Stefan, the guy of her dream, propose to her just like how she wishes to be propose. It was all crazy and exciting for her. But deep inside of her she knew everything was just an act. It was just another plot of the crazy plan.

"Good morning", Stefan said.

"Morning!" Caroline beamed and slowly got out of bed making her way towards the bathroom with Stefan watching her every move.

"So what do my lovely fiancée wants to do today?" Caroline laughed hearing Stefan calling her his fiancée.

"I have a wedding to plan. You on the other hand have a haunting-Katherine date with Damon", Stefan growled as he heard the word Katherine. He knew it would take all his time to track her down meaning he couldn't see Caroline for one whole fucking day and that really pisses him off. Especially when he has to do it with Damon, the most annoying haunting buddies of all time.

"I should be going then", Stefan stood up and gave Caroline a quick kiss on the cheek before disappearing through the window.

Caroline walked down to the kitchen and saw her mother smiling at her while making a breakfast. Caroline was a bit shock to see her mother acting all motherly by making breakfast and wasn't even in her uniform. Am I dreaming or something? Caroline scratched her head. Maybe she was dreaming since good things keep happening to her.

"Good morning Care", Sheriff Forbes greeted Caroline. Caroline smiled and sat down the table and looked at her mother trying to find out what's wrong with her.

"Why are you looking at me like that Caroline?" Her mother asked in confused.

"Uh nothing", Caroline shook her head. "It's just… why aren't you wearing your uniform?"

"I decided to take a leave and spend my time with my daughter who's also someone's fiancée now", Sheriff Forbes sat next to Caroline and stroke Caroline's hair like how she used to do when Caroline was little.

Caroline couldn't help but to felt very happy. It's been a while since her mother practically acting like her mother so when her mother now decided to act more motherly, Caroline felt like she could cry in happiness now. Somehow things worked out better for Caroline since she agreed to Elena's plan by marrying Stefan. Is it possible that Stefan is her lucky charm?

"I'm so happy for you Caroline. Stefan is a great guy. I'm sure he will take care of you better than I can", Caroline face softened and she hugged her mother.

"No one can take care of me better then you mom", her mother might not be the best mother in the world but Caroline love her just the way she is. It didn't matter she wouldn't bake her cookies for no reason, it didn't matter she wouldn't help her dress up for her first date. All Caroline knows is her mother loves her and that's all that matters.

Sheriff Forbes smile hearing her one and only daughter words. She is so thankful that Caroline still love her even after all that she had done to her. Sheriff Forbes knows how bad of a mother she is and Caroline had all the rights in the world to hate her but she didn't. In fact, she keeps on loving her like how every daughter would. Knowing that fact is like a huge relief for Sheriff Forbes.

"So tell me how Stefan propose to you", Sheriff Forbes asked as they broke the hug. Caroline giggled at the thought talking about these things with her mother. She had never done it before.

"Well, he propose to me exactly how dad used to propose you."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah mom. He was crowned the prom king so when he was giving out his speech, he tell everyone how much he love me then he propose to me", the scene of Stefan proposing to Caroline repeating itself in Caroline's head made her smiling like crazy.

"Stefan is really the sweetest thing in the world. I'm happy that he loves you with all his heart", Sheriff Forbes has realized how much Stefan loves Caroline when she saw how Stefan looks at her daughter. She truly is happy about it.

Caroline looked at her mom and smiled painfully. If only everything was true. If only this wasn't a lie. If only Stefan loves me… Caroline shook away the thoughts as tears were building up in her eyes.

"So, have you thought about how, where and when the wedding is going to be held?" Sheriff Forbes looked at her daughter. Usually Caroline would have everything figure it out. She'd been practically arranging her dream marriage ever since she was four. Sheriff Forbes thought Caroline would have set everything up and her head.

"Um.. not really. Why?" Caroline lied. She couldn't possibly tell her mother that she had it all figure it out when Stefan only asked her to marry him last night. It would just sound bizarre.

"Care, there's no need to lie to me. I know you. You're my daughter remember? I figure it out that by now you already have everything set about the marriage in your mind", Caroline burst out laughing. Of course her mother knew that she already have a plan for the wedding. She'd been telling her mother about it ever since she was four.

"Well I was thinking about doing it at grandpa's vacation house. The one that has a beautiful lake as its view."

"That's a great idea!" Sheriff Forbes squeaked. She was excited about the wedding. Caroline is her one and only daughter. No matter what she is, Sheriff Forbes will always love her. Knowing that Caroline is going to get married with a guy she knew would be able to make her daughter happy makes her happy too. All she wanted was to see her little Caroline get her happiness and she knew this wedding will bring all the happiness Caroline ever wishes for. Sheriff Forbes makes a mental note to ensure the wedding will be the wedding Caroline would never forget her whole life.

The daughter and mother started talking about the wedding and even make some plans about it. Caroline was having a great time with her mother. She had never thought she would ever have this sort of talk and even enjoyed it with her mother. Her mother was usually all about the town safety and a wedding is just doesn't add up with that so she was really shocked about it. But still, Caroline enjoyed it. She wishes her relationship with her mother would improve starting from that moment.

Stefan and Damon walked around the forest still trying to catches Katherine by following her scent but every time they got closer, Katherine will always be gone. They did it for hours and finally the two brothers decided to get some rest for a while before continue their little hunting-for-Katherine mission.

Stefan and Damon sat down on the ground while leaning their backs on one of the trees. Damon looked at Stefan and thought for a while before starting a conversation with his little brother. He needs to know what Stefan really felt about Caroline. Actually, he already knew it since he practically live with her brother for 170 something years but he needed to be sure of it.

"Where did you sleep last night and the nights before?" Damon asked and Stefan turned around to look at his older brother.

"Caroline's house. Why?"

"Oh. No reason. It's just that you've been hanging out with Caroline a lot lately."

"Well, she is the only one I can hang out with since Elena 'died' remember?"

Damon nodded. "But you didn't have to sleep with her", Damon blurted out.

"I wasn't sleeping with Caroline. Well I am but not that kind of sleeping. I was just trying to protect her incase Katherine decided to stop by again", well partly about it was true. He did want to protect Caroline but the main reason was he wants to spend all the time he has left with Caroline before this entire act ended and everything's back to the way it was.

"Oh really?" Damon cocked an eyebrow.

"Yeah. Really", Stefan just looked away. He knew Damon would realize he was lying if his brother looked at his face.

"Oh baby brother. You don't need to lie to me. I know everything even when you didn't tell me. I live 170 something years with you so I know you well enough to know that you're lying."

Stefan sighed. Damon's got a point there. He did live with Damon for 170 something years so he would definitely knows him well enough to know what was going on with him. No use lying to him anymore.

"I'm in love with Caroline. There! I said it", finally, Damon thought as he grinned.

"And what are you going to do about it?"

Stefan looked up at me. "I don't know", he sighed and putted his hands on his face. He must be feeling like shit right now, thought Damon.

"Why don't you just go for it?"

"Are you crazy? What about Elena? And even if Elena is fine with it, Caroline would never accept me. She would never betray Elena", Damon nodded in agreement with Stefan. Caroline would never ever betray Elena and Damon know it. He had to talk to Elena about it and arrange a plan later.

"I think I'm going crazy here. All this feelings I had to keep to myself is driving me insane! I want to let it out but-but I just can't! Urgh!" Stefan was really having a damn hard time trying to control his feelings for Caroline. Damon felt bad for his brother. He must love Caroline damn much that it kills him inside, Damon thought.

Stefan just sat quietly at his place while thinking about Caroline. Her smile, her laughter, her words, everything about her is making Stefan crazily in love with her. He wanted to just take Caroline, tell her that he loves her and kiss her like it was the end of the world. The thought make Stefan happy but then Elena's face appeared and the guilt took over. He couldn't do that to Elena. Not after what she had done for him. Stefan Salvatore, what have you got yourself into? Stefan sighed.
