CAROLINE'S POV:
Almost two weeks had passed, and today was the day the doctors were going to bring Mom from her coma. Arriving at the hospital just before it was about to happen, Stefan, John and I stood outside her room, watching as the doctors and nurses made their way inside…
"How did it go?" I questioned as her doctor walked out of the room a while later
"Well we think," he replied "she's still unresponsive but that's normal but she's breathing on her own and that's what counts. You can go in and sit with her if you'd like, but talk to her, it could help."
"You go in, John, Stefan and I will go and get coffee and food." I informed him
"Okay." he replied as Stefan held the door open for him
"What's wrong?" I asked Stefan as he shut the door behind him
"It's only a matter of time before your Mom wakes up and you tell her the truth," he admitted "and tell her what's going to happen. She's going to freak out, Caroline."
"Everything will be fine," I assured him "Mom will understand."
"She'll understand I'm a vampire?" he inquired "I know she's a great person but will she really? No, we're kidding ourselves here."
"What are you saying?" I asked "Are you backing out? Do you not want to change me anymore? Or are you trying to tell me you don't want to be with me anymore?"
"You know how much I want both," he replied "but we have to face the fact that your Mom's not gonna like the fact when you tell her. We can't live in a dream world where we pretend she's going to be hunky dory about it all because she's not. We've got to face reality."
"Don't you think I know that?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow at him "I know how much my Mom is going to hate the fact but it's not going to stop me, and it shouldn't stop you either. You want this as much as I do, right? You want a forever with me, don't you?"
He nodded his head… "You know I do. It's all I want."
"Then we go ahead with our plans regardless of Mom's reaction." I informed him "If we start feeling guilty and getting cold feet, we'll never do it and she'll win. That's not the way I want things to play out, and I know you don't either."
"Let's go and get some food…" he replied "And when we get home, do something to take our minds off all of this."
"Such as?" I inquired as he entwined his hand with mine
Turning to me, he pulled me tight against him and brushed his lips against mine, a moan escaping me… "Stefan."
"Patience." he chuckled
"Dick." I muttered as he entwined his hand with mine once more and led me down the corridor
STEFAN'S POV:
Caroline made her way into the bedroom after seeing to John who we'd set up a bed for downstairs in the living room and shut the door behind her, pulling off her t-shirt, reaching for one of mine that sat on top of the chest of drawers, pulling it over her head…
"I've come up with a plan," she informed me as she moved over to the bed "I'm gonna take our old photo albums in to show Mom, and while she's still unconscious, I'm going to talk to her about the photos, see if it does any good."
"I think that's a great idea." I informed her, smiling at her warmly
"I don't want to sit there just talking to her about rubbish," she admitted "so it's better that I talk to her about something meaningful and worthwhile, like our family."
I nodded my head in agreement… "Have I ever told you how seriously sexy you look in my clothes?"
"Not that I remember." she replied "So you should maybe start now."
"You look amazing," I informed her "the things it's doing to me right now…"
"What sort of things?" she questioned, pursing her lips together
Moving closer to her, I let my lips brush against her ear, feeling her shudder. Smirking, I pressed my lips against her skin… "It's making me want to take you up against that wall."
"Maybe you should." she replied
CAROLINE'S POV:
"Maybe I will." he informed me
Before I had chance to reply, Stefan had vamp-sped us from the bed and my back was pressed against the wall and Stefan's body was pressing against mine, his hands entwining with mine and lifting them above my head as he captured my lips in his, his tongue pushing against my lips, sliding in to battle against mine. Letting my hands drop as we continued to kiss, his hands lifted me by my thighs and my legs wrapped around his waist, a groan escaping his lips as I grinded against him subtly…
Naughty naughty Stefan and Caroline, and Liz has been taken off the ventilator and is breathing on her own, and has been brought round from her coma but is still unresponsive. Will she wake up?
