Hey Everyone! Thank-you all for your reviews! Over 400 reviews! Never imagined it! :) Thank-you all for your support! I hope I didn't keep you all waiting too long! Sorry for the cliffhanger ;) Here's my next chapter!
Caroline sat with Liz on sofa sipping on tea. Liz had taken it well so far about how they were sent to the past and lived there for about a year, their time which was only fifteen days here. She even told her about how Stefan and Rebekah got married and had the twins.
"So this is Arianna Caroline Salvatore and this is Aden Kol Salvatore." Caroline said pointing to the twins.
"She has your name." Liz said as she admired the two beautiful children.
"Yes, Stefan and I said that we were siblings when we got there." Caroline said. Liz raised an eyebrow and then smiled.
"Well Stefan is like a son to me." Liz said. "He's always been there for you through your transformation." Caroline smiled. Her mom was right; he was always there for her as a brother and best friend. Now she had to tell her mom the more difficult part, the fact that she was pregnant with Klaus's babies.
"Mom, there's something else." Caroline said.
"What is it?" Liz looked up from the babies.
"I'm a hybrid now."
"What? How?" Liz asked. The last thing she knew was that her daughter was a vampire.
"Well, there's another part to it." Caroline started to fidget with her hands.
"Caroline, just say it!" Liz said sternly.
"I'm pregnant. With triplets. And I was turned into a hybrid during time travel so I can continue to carry the babies." Caroline said.
Liz looked at her shocked. Her daughter was pregnant? But she was still a teenager. But this was supposed to be good thing, because from what she knew vampires couldn't have babies. Still she was in school and had not even graduated from grade twelve yet. How was she going to raise three kids alone?
"Mom? Say something?" Caroline said nervously.
"I still can't wrap my head around it." Liz said.
"Mom I know this is a shock but think about it this way. At least I'm getting this opportunity." Caroline said.
"I know sweetie but you are still young." Liz said. "Who's the father?"
Caroline dreaded this part the most. She didn't know what her mom would say.
"It's Klaus." Caroline said.
Liz was shocked. A number of times she opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. After a while of silence, Liz finally spoke.
"Does he know?" She was still trying to get over the fact that her daughter was pregnant with the original hybrid's babies.
"No and neither does Rebekah. We need to trigger their memories." Caroline said.
"How are you going to do that?" Liz asked.
"We don't know." Caroline said.

Damon looked to the side. He must have been mistaken. Was it really Stefan? His hand loosened from around Bonnie's neck and his fangs receded.
"Stefan?" Damon said still shocked from what he was seeing. Stefan nodded. Damon fell back onto the couch with a perplexed expression. Everyone in the room except for Bonnie was shocked.
"Stefan!" Elena came over to him and hugged him. "You're okay." Stefan smiled but he was looking for someone else and there his eyes caught a pair of light blue eyes. He felt his heart jolt. All he wanted to do was run towards her and kiss her, hold her and take her with him. Rebekah looked back at him with a shocked expression. Could she possibly remember him? All he could do is hope that she got her memories back. He was about to walk towards her when Damon walked to him and placed a hand on his shoulder asked,
"How are you alive?"
Stefan took a breath and turned towards him. He had missed Damon. No matter how much they fought and threatened each other, in the end, they were brother.
"Well that evening, Bonnie called us over. She was going to do a cleansing spell..." Stefan explained the story except saying that they were transported to a far away land and needed a witch to send them back. Everyone remained quiet after Stefan had finished telling them the story.
"Well witchy! You're off the hook." Damon said to Bonnie as he headed to the bar for a celebration drink.
"Where's Caroline?" Klaus asked.
"She's at her mom's place." Bonnie answered before Stefan could say anything.
"Why didn't she come to see us?" Elena asked.
"She needed to talk to the Sheriff so you guys can come back into town." Stefan said. "But we can call her." He knew that Klaus would definitely head over to her place just to make sure. He picked up his cell phone and called her.
"Hey Care! Everyone wants to say 'hi'. I'm putting you on speaker." Stefan said.
"Hey everyone!" Caroline's voice rang through the room. Stefan could see Klaus relax a little.
"Caroline! How are you? I've missed you." Elena said.
"I'm fine, Elena. I've missed you too. Sorry I didn't come to see you; I had to see my mom." Caroline said.
"Nice to have you back Blondie." Damon said.
"Damon." Caroline greeted. "Glad you're back to…normal." Damon rolled his eyes. Then a baby's wail echoed through the phone. Everyone started to look at each other. Stefan walked to his phone and picked it up. It would look weird if he just disconnected. He had to make his way there, the babies were hungry.
"Uh…I have to go now. I'm babysitting and the babies are hungry. See you later." Caroline hung up.
"Babysitting?" Elena said.
"Oh yah, one of her mom's friends left their babies at the Sheriff's house. They had some important business to attend and couldn't take them." Bonnie said. Everyone seemed to have taken the lie.
"That's so Caroline." Elena said and sat down on the couch beside Bonnie.
Stefan looked at Rebekah. Could she have possibly gotten her memories back from her baby's cry? But Rebekah just looked at him with the same look she always gave him. He walked towards her.
"It's great to have you back Stefan." She said and hugged him. Stefan hugged her back desperately hoping she would remember. He didn't want to let go but she pulled back and walked around him towards the door.
"We'll get going." Klaus said. "Have to rebuild my house." Rebekah and Klaus walked out the door. Stefan stood there feeling disappointed. He had to figure out how to get their memories back. He ran after them and opened the door.
"Rebekah!" He called. She stopped and looked back at him. He used his vampire speed to get to her. "Where are you staying?" Stefan asked. Rebekah looked at him all confused.
"I guess we'll be at my old apartment now. We've been staying at different hotels lately but now that everything is okay, we'll stay there until Nik gets the house rebuilt." Rebekah said. Stefan smiled.
"Perhaps, we can go out for coffee tomorrow? Or should I say in a couple of hours?" Stefan said.
Rebekah smiled. She couldn't believe that after being away for so long he still wanted to spend time with her.
"Sure. The Grill at eleven?" Rebekah said.
"Sounds good." Stefan said. "See you then."
"Bye Stefan." Rebekah said and got into her brother's Camaro.
Stefan slowly walked back to the Salvatore boarding house. He needed to spend as much time with Rebekah as possible. Hopefully, something will trigger her memory. He walked in through the front door and shut the door behind him. He walked to the room where everyone else was.
"Brother! Here have a drink." Damon passed a glass to him. Stefan took it and downed his drink.
"I should get going." Stefan said as he got up.
"What? No. This is your home too." Damon said.
"I know, but things are still how I left them Damon. I'll be back, I just need to take care of some things first." Stefan said as he got up to leave.

Klaus drove to Rebekah's apartment. Things were finally returning to normal around town. There was some kind of happiness inside of him. Caroline was alive. He was in such a good mood. Stefan was back too but he just couldn't help himself. He needed to see her for himself. If he could he would touch her to make sure she was actually there. He stopped in front of the apartment to let Rebekah out.
"Where are you going?" Rebekah asked.
"For a drive." Klaus smiled.
"You're going to see her, aren't you?" Rebekah said.
"Good night, Rebekah." Klaus smiled and rolled up the window.
He drove along the familiar street and parked across the street. He walked towards her house and was about to knock on the door. But he thought, what would he say? Finally, he decided that he just wanted to see her. He peaked in from the window outside her bedroom. She sat on the bed feeding a baby with a bottle. She was glowing. Her golden hair draping around her face, her green eyes sparkled from the bedroom light and rosy lips smiled down at the child. It was such a wonderful scene. He caught himself thinking of a time he would want to be human with Caroline. They would have a family and Caroline would be sitting in their room feeding their children. He then turned around and walked to his car. Klaus called Rebekah.
"Had enough spying?" Rebekah said.
"I just called saying I'll have some business to deal with and will be out of town." Klaus said.
"Fine. See you later." Rebekah said and hung up.
Now that Caroline was back, all he could think about were the lurking dangers from Silas. Hayley had given him some information about Katarina. The little werewolf was willing to give anything for protection and her lineage. Klaus was willing to wait for Katarina to come to him but now he was going to see a friend he knew who would be able to speed up the process of finding her.

Stefan had asked Bonnie to drop him off at Rebekah's apartment. He called Caroline to see how the babies were doing.
"Hey Care. How are they doing?" Stefan asked.
"They're fine. I got my mom to get baby formula because you guys were taking so long. Anyways, they're sleeping now." Caroline said.
"Okay, so I was wondering if you could be the amazing sister you've been this last year and look after them for a little while longer?" Stefan asked.
"Sure…where are you going?" She asked.
"To see Rebekah...and Klaus."
"Fine. Just don't take too long." Caroline said.
"Thanks Caroline." Stefan said and hung up. He walked up the stairs to her suite and knocked on the door. Rebekah opened the door. She looked surprised to find Stefan there. She wearing pale green silk pajamas.
"Stefan!"
"Can I come in?" He asked.
"Sure, come on in." She said and closed the door behind him.
"Where's Klaus?" Stefan asked as he sat down on the couch.
"He went out town for business." Rebekah said.
"Business?"
"There is a cure Stefan. Katherine just got it before us." Rebekah said.
"What?"
"Yes, but there is only one dose and we need to get rid of Silas." Rebekah said as she sat down beside him. She was upset. All this time she had thought that she would finally have a normal life but that wasn't going to happen.
"Hey, it's okay." Stefan said as he pulled her into a hug. "Rebekah there's something I want to tell you."
"What is it?" Rebekah asked as she looked at him anxiously.
"I know before I left we didn't really talk about where we were with our relationship but now I know where I stand. I want to be with you and only you Rebekah." Stefan said as he held her hand.
Rebekah leaned in and crushed her lips against his. That's all needed to hear. He responded as his hands slid down her back and he pulled her top of him. Their lips moved in synch and tongues battled for control with Rebekah's hand knotted in his hair. Stefan picked her up and vamp sped to her room. Soon their clothes were off as they lay in bed. His lips trailed down her neck, collarbone and down to her breast. Rebekah let out a soft moan as his lips moved further down her body. She couldn't stand anymore. She pulled him back up and kissed him. She gasped as he pushed into her. She missed this feeling of their bodies moving together. She had this urge to bite him but wasn't sure if she should. Their relationship wasn't at that blood sharing stage. Soon they both hit their peaks and Stefan rested his body on top of hers breathing heavily.
Stefan woke up to his phone buzzing. The clock read nine 'o'clock. He picked up his phone and checked his messages. It was Damon asking where he was and the next was from Caroline asking when he was coming home. How could he forget, Aden and Arianna. He turned around and kissed Rebekah on her head.
"Leaving so soon?" She asked.
"It's Damon. He's asking where I am. I'm just going to see him. I'll see you at the grill at eleven." Stefan said.
"Okay." Rebekah said. Stefan kissed her on the lips and got out of bed.
"I'll see you soon." He said and left through the door.

Caroline, with help from Bonnie, gave the twins a bath and put on the new clothes her mom had gotten. They didn't want to buy too much because Caroline knew that Rebekah would want to choose everything for the babies herself. So for now she just got her mom to get the basics. She checked her phone for messages. She had texted Stefan when he would be coming home. He had definitely spent the night with Rebekah. This was so not fair; she hadn't even seen Klaus yet.
"What did he say?" Bonnie asked.
"He said he's coming." Caroline said. "It's so not fair, he got to spend the night with Rebekah and I haven't even seen Klaus yet."
"I know, but think about it this way, perhaps he found a way to trigger their memories." Bonnie said.
"Yah, I guess so." Caroline said. Just then Stefan walked into the house and into the room.
"Hey. How are my two angels doing?" Stefan said as he picked up Arianna and then Aden. The two babies looked but at him smiling.
"They're fine. Their aunt took good care of them." Bonnie said. Caroline lied down on her bed. She was already tired and hungry.
"Bonnie can you get me a blood bag and something to eat?" Caroline asked.
"Another one? Already?" Bonnie said and walked out.
"I can't help it, I'm always hungry." Caroline said. "It's because of these three." She placed her hand on her belly. Bonnie and Stefan laughed.
"Don't laugh at me! I need to go shopping for clothes too. My jeans won't snap!" Caroline pouted.
"Well go later today. Why don't you take a nap?" Bonnie said.
"Okay, but wait. Stefan did Rebekah remember anything?" Caroline asked. Stefan nodded his head no.
"Don't worry you two, we'll figure it out." Bonnie said. "By the way, I figured out a way hide the heart beats."
"How?" Caroline said. She wanted to see Klaus, Rebekah, Elena and even Damon.
"Well I'm not completely sure. I can put this type of protective shield around you that will make the heart beats less obvious but I don't know how long it will last. You're almost done your first trimester and as the babies develop, the spell won't shield the heart beats." Bonnie said.
"So basically I only have the time it takes the babies to grow to trigger Klaus's memories?"
Bonnie nodded.
"Caroline relax and take a nap. I'll do the spell. Once you wake up, we can go shopping." Bonnie said.
"Okay." Caroline said as she closed her eyes. She heard Bonnie chant in Latin. She felt this force envelop her and then she fell asleep.
Caroline woke up to find herself alone in her room. She got up and walked to the living room to find Stefan sitting on the couch feeding the twins at once with a bottle in each hand. She laughed at the scene.
"Need some help?" Caroline asked as she walked over to Stefan and took Arianna from him.
"Thanks!" Stefan said.
"Where's Bonnie?" Caroline asked.
"She went with her dad somewhere after I came back." Stefan said.
"Where did you go?"
"To see Rebekah. We have a coffee date."
"And?" Caroline asked.
"Nothing. I tried to remind her by asking her question about when she was human but nothing." Stefan said.
"We can talk to Bonnie tonight. See if she can figure something out."
"I guess so." Stefan said.
"Anyways, I guess I'll have to go shopping alone." Caroline said. "So did you see Klaus last night?"
"No, Rebekah said that he went out of town. He should be back sometime today. The cure exists but there's only one dose of it." Stefan said.
"Wow! Didn't see that one coming. I don't think I want it." Caroline said. "I have everything I'll ever want or I'll have it eventually."
"I agree. I mean before, all I could think about was becoming human and we got that chance. And now I have everything." Stefan said looking down at Aden.
Caroline nodded. Arianna had finished her milk. She picked her up and put her on her shoulder to burp her. Stefan did the same with Aden. Soon the twins went to sleep. She placed Arianna in the rocker near Stefan.
"Hey I'm going shopping. I really need to get new clothes that will fit me and perhaps hide the bump for a while." Caroline said.
"Okay, I'd love to come but can't." Stefan smiled.
"Sure you'd like to come." Caroline said sarcastically.

Klaus drove back into town. Katarina shouldn't be long now. Once he gets his hands on that cure, it's going straight down Silas's throat. Then his eye caught someone. Caroline. She was walking along the side walk with a couple of shopping bags in her hand. She looked gorgeous in a white summer dress and blue denim jacket. She had that same glow she had yesterday. She looked radiant as she smiled at everyone who crossed her path. Even as a vampire, she was so human. Klaus got out of his car and watched her walk into a store. Strange, he thought, why was she going into a maternity store? He watched her as she paid for a book at the counter and walked out of the store. It had started to rain but that didn't seem to ruin her mood. She looked up at the sky smiled even more as she slowly twirled in the rain. Klaus took the umbrella that was lying in his car and walked towards her. She didn't see him coming and bumped into him. He held onto her waist to prevent her from falling. Her hands rested on his chest. She looked up at him with her clear green eyes and water running down her golden hair. She smiled.
Okay, so don't hate me! :D Please leave your reviews, I would love to see what you think! Thanks! :)
