chapter 4-

Caroline had been back in mystic falls for half a day and was exhausted after an argument with her mother and stefan about whether to inform elena and damon which they both disagreed with saying they should keep it to themselves for now which lasted the entire drive back and an hour later once they had settled, stefan had gone out with her mom to get groceries leaving her alone to have a shower and blood bag and watch good old scarlet O'Hara on blue-ray.

which is what they found when they came back , caroline curled up on the couch watching gone with the wind reciting the words.

stefan had remained silent for while after the normal greeting, and caroline could feel his eyes on her "what are you doing stefan" "i can hear" "hear what" "the heartbeat" he said shocking her to speechlessness,

straining her senses filtering through so she could hear it when a knock at the door interrupted causing stefan to get it "what do you want" "we would like to talk with miss forbes " she heard elijah say causing her to get up and walk into the hall way with her mother to see the three originals standing there on her front porch 'caroline' klaus said making her give him a small smile "could we please have an invite into you home sheriff forbes we mean no harm" giving her mom a slight nod she invited them in even though klaus didnt need an invite to come in she walked back into the living room to pause the film her mother and stefan stepping to stand protectively at her sides.

"so is it true" rebekah was the first to comment "yes" "how" elijah was the second "i dont know" "what do you want" "what do you mean" she asked klaus "well usually theres something that people want when they are trying to trick me" "you think shes tricking you" liz spoke "yes" "its not a trick" "who put you up to this caroline was it the doppelganger and her pet damon" he spat angrly" "nikklaus" "listen" rebekah spoke who was stuck staring at her stomach making her instinctively cross her hands over her belly all the vampires listened to the tiny fluttering that was coming from her stomach in awe

"well we should make preparations" elijah said "for what" stefan asked blocking their view of caroline "living arrangements doctors that sort of thing" "what and why is that" "she will be coming with us of course" "what" liz and caroline said at the same time "i dont thinks so" "why do you think that mr salvatore" "shes not going any where" "our family has enemys our brother quite the few she will be safest with us" "i can keep her safe" "not as much as we can" rebekah interrupted "we can keep her safe" liz said joining in the arguement "a human and a vampire rippah as protection instead of three original vampires, bloody brilliant" as everyone started shouting at each other caroline felt annoyance like never before

"ENOUGH!" she shouted causing every one to look at her "will you all just please shut the hell up!, seriously who do any of you think you are, my god now i get why your so arragont all the time" she said looking at klaus "you all have no right to come in here and dictate what im going to do with my life which it is its my life my body and what happens to me and this baby is my choice not yours at all the only one who has half a say is klaus not you or you i can decide for myself so if you really want to help then shut up and leave me alone for god dam two bloody seconds, because i havent even had time to think and i sure as hell cant do that with vampires and my mother breathing down my neck so if you all wouldnt mind i would like to go back to my movie" arching her eyebrow .

"well" she asked impatiently as she looked at all the originals and even her mother and stefan with shocked faces, klaus's face in awe "are you kicking us out care" "yes because right now i have the patience of a fruit fly" she said causing a smile to grace stefans and klaus's face "we need to talk miss forbes about the " she cut elijah of placing her hands on her hips "elijah right now if you do not graciously leave my house i will throw you out original or not i will, the only one who has any right to ask me anything would be your brother and i doubt he will be willing to have whats going to be a very awkward talk with the mother of a child that we dont even know what to do with right now in front of an audience, so its not a goodbye but a talk soon and please take your sister with you who is probably the only other woman who would be able to throw you out before i make it onto the very short list" she finished with her pleasent miss mystic falls smile which had rebekah laughing.

as everyone filled out leaving a smirking klaus standing by the arm chair her mother and stefan the last ones to leave "I'll be fine, promise, treat her to dinner stefan" she said giving them both a kiss on the cheek and watching as they walk out of the house before sighing and turning back to klaus.

"hi" "hello love" "so the deal is that you have 30 minutes to ask me questions before i turn my movie back on and ignore you" she said before sitting back down on the couch.

they sit quiet for a while before she speaks "what do you want klaus" "im not sure i understand the question love" "what do you want to do about the baby " she ask with a roll of her eyes

"im not sure" she nods "what about you love what do you want" he ask causing her to laugh "something funny love" "you know how weird this is right , its so crazy that its comical" "im a 23 year old stuck in the body of a 17 year old, ive been totured raped forced to spy , forced to be a distraction, had to fight of the original vampires and 2000 year old witch and now to top it all of when i fall pregnant" i say laughing half heartedly "you where what!" he asks anger very evident "nothing, it doesnt matter" i say when i remember my exact words that i had said.

"you know before i was turned into a vampire i had a plan, i was going to fall in love get married have my dream job and then have kids grow old watching my kids grow up and them to have grandchildren, and then boom i was turned into a vampire and had to forget about that not getting old and dying not being able to have children i had to learn not to think of those things because there was no way id every get them but you where right that night back at elenas house i like being a vampire i liked being able to live for ever i liked being strong and confident i liked being able to see the world over i loved all of those things i loved who i became when i got turned i was no longer the insignificant human girl , and at first i became the insignificant vampire thats why i went with stefan i was chasing a pipe dream really but there were still times when i would be walking or watching telly and id see kids playing or babies smiling and i'd remember i'd never be able to have that so now that i have a chance im not going to give that up"

she said looking at klaus to say something "look no pressure okay," i say with a smile before getting up and grabbing 2 blood bags and a bottle of vodka from the fridge grabbing a glass and bringing it back to the living room as klaus was pacing "here" she said as she poured the vodka and passed it to him before sitting back down with one of the blood bags "what are you thinking about" she asked after a 5 minute silence

"this everything and anything its all sort of" "messy" she interjects for him "yes messy" "just say it what is it that your thinking about what ever it is no judgement" "if i were to do that it would take longer then 30 minutes" "its fine Scarlett can wait, i want to listen" "why" "because i want to be the one that you can confide in and because your thoughts are important " she said

"no judgement" "no judgement" she said with a nod of her head as klaus takes the vodka and drinks it all.
