CAROLINE'S POV:
"Are you sure it looks okay?" I questioned, looking in the full-length mirror at the new dress I had on
Stefan's arms wrapped around my waist from behind, his hands resting on my bump… "You look beautiful. Seeing you carrying our children is really sexy. And you know I love you in blue…"
"You say that now." I sighed
"And I'll say it in five months," he informed me "and every month after that. You are always beautiful to me, Caroline, but now we have to go. Our reservation's for 7pm."
"Where did you book?" I asked, picking up my handbag from the bed
"The little Chinese place by the office," he replied "is that okay? I figured you'd like something from there and not the steak house considering you're currently off meat."
"Sounds perfect," I informed him "ooh, I really fancy the spring rolls! Yeah, Mommy agrees, baby's, they sound really good."
"Ready?" he questioned, a warm smile on his face as I lifted my head from my bump
"Yes." I replied "Ready."
Stefan took my hand in his and kept it entwined with his as we travelled down in the elevator, and as we reached his car, he opened the door for me and helped me in as best he could. It was already getting difficult to move properly and I was only four months pregnant, and I was sure that I was going to get twice as big in the coming months especially as it was twins. Twenty minutes later we arrived at the restaurant, Damon and Elena already waiting for us at the table we were led to…
"Oh, Caroline!" Elena proclaimed, hugging me tightly as we reached them "You're glowing!"
I smiled at her warmly as she turned to Stefan, kissing his cheek…
"I would hug you, Blondie, but you're huge, and I don't think my arms will fit around you…" Damon admitted
I rolled my eyes as Elena elbowed his side… "It's nice to see you too, Damon."
"You're not huge, Caroline," Elena assured me "my husband just doesn't have a way with words…"
"I know I'm getting big." I informed her "It's okay."
STEFAN'S POV:
"Bonnie's here!" I informed Caroline, Damon and Elena
"I am so sorry," she proclaimed as she reached the table "the shoot ran over and then my cab driver got stuck in back-to-back traffic on the highway. Anyway, I'm here. You ordered already?"
"We were waiting for you, but the hormonal, pregnant lady was "dying of starvation" apparently." I informed her "So we ordered a side dish."
"I was hungry!" Caroline admitted
"Morning sickness has gone then, I take it?" Elena questioned
Caroline nodded, taking another bite of her spring roll… "Now I have cravings and an aversion to meat."
Elena smiled at me warmly… "I know you're thinking I'm probably jealous of the fact that you're having two babies but honestly, I couldn't be happier for you both."
"How did you manage to read my mind?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow at her "Thank you."
"You're welcome." she replied "So I'm okay to start buying things now, yes?"
"Yes." I informed her as Stefan entwined his hand with mine
What's next, do you think?
