Wicked Dreams

Chapter 17:

I just want to say thanks for reading! Also this summer I'm not sure how much I'll be updating my story, but reviews go straight to my phone so reviews will help make me remember and update it faster!

….Klaus smiles and walks back to her. He slides into the bed under the covers and wraps his arms around her in a spooning position. She smiles and falls asleep….

…1 week later…

"I have to pick Caroline up first, and then we will meet you at school." Elena says to Bonnie over the phone.

"Okay, hurry!" Bonnie says to her.

"I will, I'm on my way to her house right now." She tells Bonnie and hangs up. Elena gets to Caroline's house and honks the horn. About a minute later Caroline walks out of her house, gets into Elena's car and heads to the school.

…High School…

"There you guys are." Bonnie says walking across the parking lot to Elena and Caroline.

"Yes, we're here. Why were you in a rush for us to get here?" Elena asks Bonnie.

"We have a new addition to the senior class." Bonnie tells them as she points over to the courtyard at a tall skinny blonde vampire.

"What is Rebekah doing here?" Caroline asks.

"I don't know, but it can't be good." Bonnie responds.

"Oh no…" Caroline says as she holds her stomach with one hand and covers her mouth with the other.

"What?" Elena asks.

"I think I'm going to be sick." Caroline says as she runs to the nearest trash can by the basketball courts and throws up.

"Are you okay Caroline?" They go over and ask her.

"No… not really. I've been sick for the past few days."Caroline tells them.

"Have you eaten recently? Like actual people blood?" Elena asks her.

"No, I haven't been eating much but when I do, yeah its fresh people blood." Caroline replies.

"That's weird." Bonnie says. "You shouldn't be getting sick Caroline." Elena walks back to her car and they follow. She gets out a blood bag from a cooler in the back and hands it to Caroline. Caroline takes a sip and before she gets it down, she pukes it up.

"What's wrong with her?" Rebekah comes up to them and asks.

"We don't know…" Bonnie tells her.

"Let's take her home, she can't stay at school." Elena suggests. They help Caroline into the car and start to drive away from the school.

"You can't take me home." Caroline tells them.

"Why not?" Rebekah asks.

"My mom is back home, I don't want her worrying." She explains.

"We can go to my house." Elena says.

…Elena's House…

They all get inside the house and Elena grabs a small trash can, putting it by the couch where Caroline is sitting.

"We have to take her to the doctors" Elena says to them.

"No we can't, vampires don't get sick, this is not a human problem!" Bonnie explains to Elena as Caroline continues to vomit into the trash can.

"I could call my Niklaus, he might know more than us." Rebekah suggests.

"No!" Caroline demands. She has been avoiding him ever since she let her guard down. She doesn't want them to know what happened that night and would rather be sick then have to face him. She's too vulnerable around him and doesn't trust herself.

"Caroline, we have to do something." Bonnie tells her. Caroline is still throwing up in the trash can and Elena nods her head up and down, signaling for Rebekah to call Klaus. She goes outside and calls him.

About 15 minutes later there's a knock on the door. Rebekah opens it and Klaus walks in. Caroline looks at Elena giving her the "Im going to kill you" look. Klaus goes to Caroline "What is wrong?" he asks. Caroline doesn't respond to him.

"She has just been puking for a few days and she can't keep blood down." Elena tells him.

"I see it wasn't your idea for me to come over." He says referring to Caroline. "Have you taken her to the doctor?" Klaus asks them.

"You see I'm not crazy!" Elena tells them.

"Why would we take her to the doctors?" Bonnie asks Klaus.

"It could be a human problem that's wrong with her." He explains to them.

"Okay, so let's go to the doctors." Caroline says to them as she gets up from the couch.

…Hospital…

Klaus, Rebekah, Bonnie, and Elena are all sitting in the chairs as Caroline checks in to be seen. "We can see you right now Ms. Forbes." Says one of the nurses.

Caroline eyes for Elena to come over to the counter. "I don't want everyone to go in with me… but can you come with me?" She asks Elena.

"Yeah, of course." Elena replies. They follow the nurse down the hall way, taking a few turns, and into a exam room where Klaus and the rest of them can't hear that far away over the noise.

"So what seems to be the problem today?" The nurse asks Caroline.

"I can't stop puking and I can't keep my food down." She tells the nurse, failing to mention that her food is actually people.

The nurse looks at the wall and takes a second to think. "I am going to give you an ultrasound and see if that will reveal anything that could be wrong with your stomach." She tells Caroline and she gets the machine ready. "Lift up your shirt please." The nurse tells her. She squeezes gel from a tube onto Caroline's stomach and spreads it around looking at the screen.

"Whats that?" Caroline and Elena both ask the nurse, referring to a small blurry shape on the screen.

"It looks like the thing that's causing your stomach problem isn't really a thing, it's a person… your pregnant." The nurse tells Caroline.

Elena and Caroline look at each other is shock "No… but that's impossible." Caroline tells both Elena and the nurse.

"And it looks like your pretty far along for not knowing your pregnant. You are about six weeks…I'll give you two a moment to talk and then I'll be in to give you some information about options." The nurse says as she leaves the room.

"How can you be pregnant Caroline?" Elena asks her, not believing that this is really happening. "Vampires don't get pregnant!" Caroline doesn't respond. Elena waits a minute to think about what to say. "…well maybe something good will come out of all of this…" she tells her.

"What do you mean?" Caroline asks Elena confused.

"Well if you decide to have the baby, maybe Klaus will stop his obsession with you and he might let Tyler come back to Mystic Falls." Elena explains. Caroline slowly starts to develop tears and shakes her head at Elena saying no. Elena gasps and covers her mouth with her hands. "What… no… Caroline you couldn't have… when?" she asks Caroline.

"It was about a week ago when you left to hang out with Tobias… Klaus stopped over and he was being super nice, I was vulnerable and I didn't want to be alone." Caroline explains to her.

"I would have stayed with you if you told me that! Wait… that was a week ago. The nurse said that you were already six weeks along in the pregnancy." Elena says confused.

"Tyler and I haven't been intimate for a long time because I keep having those weird dreams and it messes with my mind. I don't know how I could be six weeks pregnant… but then again, I don't know how I can be pregnant at all!" Caroline explains. "Go get Bonnie!"

Elena goes to the lobby "Do they know what's wrong with her?" Klaus asked her.

Elena ignores his question, grabs Bonnie and walks back to the room that Caroline is in. "What is going on?" Bonnie asks as Elena pushes her into the exam room.

"Im pregnant…" Caroline tells her.

Bonnie looks at Elena to see if what she was saying was actually true. "What?... How?... I don't understand, vampires can't get pregnant. How did this happen?" Bonnie asks trying to figure out what is going on.

"It was when I got the letter from Tyler, the letter that that he broke up with me with. I was vulnerable and emotional then Klaus showed up. He was being super nice and…" Caroline starts to tell Bonnie as she gets interrupted.

"What?" Bonnie interrupts, "Klaus? Are you telling me that you are pregnant with Klaus' baby?" Bonnie can't believe what she is being told. She waits a minute to talk. "What are you going to do? Are you going to tell Tyler… or Klaus?" She asks her.

Caroline looks off to the side, "I don't know…" she answers.

"Well you're going to have to decide something." Bonnie tells her.

"But we're here for you Car, no matter what you decide... right Bonnie?" Elena says relieving the tension that was rising between Bonnie and Caroline.

"Yeah we're here for you." Bonnie tells Caroline. "You don't have to decide anything right now, but what are we going to tell everyone in the lobby?" she asks.

"We'll tell them I just got the flu and the pregnancy pills she gives me ill say is a prescription." Caroline says as the nurse comes in.

"Here are some pamphlets with more information then I could give you." The nurse hands Caroline 6 pamphlets about nutrition and pregnancy.

"Thanks." Caroline says back. The three of them walk out into the lobby as Klaus and Rebekah stand up.

"I just had the flu. The nurse gave me a prescription and I should be better soon." Caroline tells the two of them.

Klaus looks at her knowing that she isn't telling the truth. He doesn't want to start anything at the hospital so he just says "That's good."

They all walk into the hospital parking lot, "I have to take Bonnie home and then meet Tobias at my house." Elena tells Caroline. "Would you want to hang with me and Tobias?" She asks her.

Elena drove Caroline to the hospital but she didn't want to hang out with them, not tonight. It showed on her face. "I can take you home." Klaus says to them.

"No that's okay, I can go with Elena." Caroline tells him. She wants to think everything through before she tells either of them.

"Actually that's perfect, besides you don't really want to come with me." Elena says trying to give Caroline an opportunity to talk to Klaus.

"Okay…" Caroline gives.

…Elena…

Elena dropped Bonnie off and met Tobias at her house. Tobias notices that Elena is sort of out of it, "What's bothering you?"

"It's…" Elena starts to say, questioning whether or not she should tell him. "It's just something with Caroline."

"What's wrong?" He asks as no reply is given. "You can trust me." He reassures her.

"She's pregnant…" Elena announces.

"Oh, with Tyler's baby?"

"Nope… Klaus'." Elena reveals.

"Ooh wow, wasn't expecting that." Tobias responds.

"Yeah, I don't really know how that happened." She tells him. "Well I know, remember that night I was late to meet you from Caroline's house? When Tyler broke up with her?" Elena asks.

"Yeah?" Tobias answers.

"Well apparently Caroline didn't want to be alone but she didn't tell me. Klaus stopped by and she gave in." Elena continues and then stops for a minute.

"What?" Tobias asks why she stopped telling the story.

"I could have prevented all of this! If I would have stayed with her instead of coming to see you this wouldn't have happened!" Elena starts to cry into Tobias' shoulder.

He hugs her "No, it isn't your fault. This would have happened whether you stayed with her that night or came to meet me." He says trying to comfort her.

…Caroline…

Klaus shuts off his car and opens the passenger door for Caroline. She walks in through her front door and heads to her bed room to set down her stuff, Klaus follows. He stands at her doorway "What's wrong love?" he asks.

She sits on her bed "nothing."

"Im here for you Caroline." Klaus tells her. He walks towards the bed and sits on the other side of the bed. "Do you want me to stay?"

"No, don't sit down!" she tells him.

"Caroline please…" he starts to say.

"No, I need to tell you something first." Caroline decides that she is going to have to tell him at one time or another. "Then you can decide if you want to stay."

"Nothing will change my mind about the way I feel about you." Klaus tells her.

"I don't have the flu… Im six weeks pregnant." She reveals. Klaus stands up from the bed "With your baby." She continues. He sits back down.

"How is that possible?" he asks.

"I don't know. How is it possible I'm pregnant?" she asks right back.

"I don't know, but like I said, I'm here for you Caroline." He tells her. She can't believe that is his reaction. How is he being so nice? The real question she's asking herself is whether or not she should let him stay. Once she tells Tyler, he won't forgive her. "Do you want me to stay?"Klaus asks again. Caroline doesn't respond, she repositions herself lying right beside him with her head on his chest. She falls asleep in his arms.
