It's been a year since Caroline took the cure became human again. Waking up Caroline could feel the warmth of the sun hitting on her skin and for the first time in months, Caroline actually loved the feeling of the sun against her skin. Caroline rolled over and watched Stefan peacefully sleeping next to her. A year ago Caroline had the biggest fear of not seeing her husband again. But he's right here with her. Laying in bed next to her and she was beyond happy right now.

Slowly getting up Caroline gasps when she felt Stefan's strong arm pulling her back next to him. She couldn't help but giggle softly as she felt his lips against the back of her neck. She gasps and moans softly as she could feel him pressing against her back.

"Babe I gotta get up," Caroline said struggling to get out of his strong arms.

"Why?" He asked against her neck as he continued to trail his lips up and down her neck softly. Stefan slowly moved up and gently nibble on her earlobe." Staying in bed sounds pretty Damn good right now." Stefan smirks slightly pinning Caroline on her back. He hovers over her, leaning down and brushes his lips over hers.

"So again why do we have to get up?"

Caroline lightly pushed him off so she can sit up." because I gotta drop the girls off at their dad's and I promise Elena that I would go shopping with her. Now that she found out she is having a girl. She wants to go baby shopping and get started on the nursery."

"I thought you were gonna give Elena some of the girl's old baby stuff?"

Caroline got out of bed and walked over to their walk in closet. Opening the door she turned on the overhead light before answering his question.

"I was going to. But Elena said she would rather go shopping for new stuff." Caroline walked out of the closet with a pair of black jeans and a red top. Laying them on the edge of the bed Caroline pulled her gown up and off of her body.

Stefan growls walking up behind and wrapping his strong arms around her waist pulling her closer against his chest. He then buries his face against her neck." Why are you teasing me like this Mrs. Salvatore?"

Caroline giggles softly." Because you love it." Caroline turns around in his arms. Leaning up and kisses him deeply and passionately. She moans softly as she slowly pulls back."I gotta finish getting dress and you should get dress too."

Stefan sighs nodding his head." Alright." He leans down and nibbles against her earlobe."That's for later." He whispered softly before kissing her cheek and out of the room towards the bathroom for a quick shower.

After getting dressed Caroline walked out of the room across the hall towards the girl's room. Opening the girl's door she peeked in and noticed the girls were still sleeping.

"Lizzie, Josie. It's time to get up girls." Caroline said walking over to the girl's beds.

Lizzie sat up and stretched out her arms as she yawns a little." can you make French toast for breakfast mommy?" Lizzie asked as she smiles. Josie just rolled her eyes tossing her covers back as she sat up and placed her feet on the floor.

" We always have French toast. I want waffles this time." Josie protested. Lizzie suddenly grabbed Josie's arm and started to siphon her. Josie winched in pain

"We are French toast!" She shouted out. Caroline quickly pulled Lizzie's hand off of Josie's arm." I'm gonna make a deal with you two. How about you Lizzie French toast and Waffles for Josie? Does that sound good girls?"

Both girls nod their heads in agreement. Caroline smiles and nods her head." Good now get dress and come downstairs for breakfast. I gotta drop you guys off at your dad's in a couple of hours."


After Caroline dropped the girls off at Ric's. She pulled up into the driveway of Elena and Damon's home. Honking her horn, to let Elena know she was right out front. Elena opened the front door and waved at Caroline.

"I will be right out Care," Elena called out. She then looks up at Damon."I should be gone no longer than a few hours. Are you gonna be alright?" Elena asked putting on her jacket.

"I will be fine Elena. You girls go and have fun shopping. I am gonna have Stefan come over later so he could help me with the surprise that I have out in the garage."

"Oh, right the surprise you won't tell me." Elena said nodding her head as she gently bit her bottom lip." Are you sure you can't give me a little hint?" Elena asked.

"Nice try but no." Damon leaning over and kisses her gently." Now go shopping for our little girl and by the time you're back. Your surprise will be ready." Damon said with a slight smirk.

Elena rolled her eyes with a smile." Alright, I am going." She opened the door and kisses him once more." Bye love you."

"Love you too," Damon said closing the door. Elena walked down the steps towards Caroline's car. Opening the passenger door Elena tossed her purse on the floor as she got in.

"What took you so long?" Caroline asked with a smirk.

"Sorry I was trying to get Damon to tell me the surprise he's building for me out in the garage," Elena said closing the door and buckles in.

"Let me guess he won't budge huh?"

Elena sighs shaking her head." no. He says that I have to wait until it's done. So he's going to have Stefan to come over and help Damon finish it up." She then glanced over at Caroline." Can you tell me?"

Caroline threw her head back with a laugh while pulling out of the driveway." Elena, you're my best friend and I love you. But I gotta agree with Damon on this one, you gotta wait until it's done."

Elena sighs sitting back against the seat as she nods her head," Yeah I guess your right, So are you excited for your anniversary that's coming up?" Elena asked as she looked over at Caroline and smirks slightly,

"What Anniversary?"

" Your wedding Anniversary silly."

" Caroline snorts and shook her head," The anniversary isn't for another six months,"

"Well, I know that but aren't you excited though?"

Caroline just shrugged her shoulders as she pulled into the parking lot of the baby shoppe," Yeah I guess so," She said putting the car into park and killed the engine as she leans back against the seat for a moment," It's just that..." Caroline stops mid sentence as she wasn't sure how to finish that sentence,

" Just what Caroline?" Elena asked bringing her eyebrows together.

Caroline exhales deeply as she grips on the string wheel," It's just it's also the anniversary of Stefan's death or at least it would have been if he actually went through the hellfire and didn't survive," Caroline said shaking her head," Elena I don't know I mean I know Stefan isn't dead and that he survived and we are doing fine, But when it comes to our wedding anniversary all I keep thinking about how close I was to of losing him,"

" Yeah but you didn't Care, besides that was over a year ago and since then you and Stefan have been closer than ever," Elena said with a smile,

Caroline nods her head," Yeah that's true we have especially since I became human. Okay, let's go shopping for your baby girl so we can get back and see what our husbands are up too." When both girls got out of Caroline's car, Caroline walked beside Elena and links her arm over hers. She then looks at Elena for a moment," I am really glad you asked me to go shopping with you today,"

Elena nods her head," Me too Caroline," She said as they both walked through the doors.
