Chapter 5- A replica

Ok so I haven't been a good person, I should have uploaded more often and for that I'm sorry but to make up for that as this week is "Klaroline Positivity Week" I am going to upload a chapter for Her father's Hope, Dreaming of Caroline or New Sister, Last Love everyday and then in the 23rd which is dedicated to Klaroline fanfiction I will also be posting at least one one shot as well. Also every chapter I now write for Her father's Hope will be dedicated to a person who is constantly reviewing my stories or someone in the fandom. So this chapter is being dedicated to every single Guest who has reviewed, you took the time read this despite not having a account and gave a opinion even though you won't get a notification when I update this so instead you have to find the story again just to check if I've updated so thank you for checking X

After being annoyed by the barista. Hope and Caroline took their lattes and sat down on a park bench watching everyone carry on with their ordinary lives unaware of the supernaturals that could break their neck in a flash. The birds tweeted as they flew from one mighty oak to the next.

The blonde took a sip from her latte before she started ,"So tell me this 'long story'."

"I'm worried about my father, he's put on a brave face for me all these years but I know he's not happy." Hope looked for any kind of reaction.

"And how is that my problem?" Caroline lied just trying to get as much information as possible.

"Your his light." She simply stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Seriously? Even if I am his light, I've got a life here, I can't just up and leave even if I wanted to."

There was a silence.

All you could hear were the children playing and laughing.

"When I was in the cab on the way here I thought about what I was going to do. Part of me hoped that you didn't get married and that you didn't stay with your kids but then part of me knew I was just lying to myself but I wasn't able to admit it. So instead I want you to promise me something, I know you barely know anything about me-"

"Your right."

"-but for the sake of my father, please visit just once in the future, just once and only just to talk to him."

Instead of screaming of shouting like Hope expected, Caroline smiled while Hope looked on curiously.

"You don't know do you?"

"What don't I know?"

"Who was it that told you about me? I presume it wasn't Klaus?"

"No it was Aunt Bekah and Uncle Lijah. Why?" Hope was getting annoyed at this point.

"Rebekah? I didn't think she actually liked me and I don't even remember meeting Elijah."

"They care about my father! Now stop diverting the question."

She took a deep breath.

"Your father promised to be my last love, however long it takes. I was always going to come eventually but things kept getting in the way."

Hope stood up in front of Caroline, the empty plastic cup being squashed in her hand.

"So while my father lived in pain these past years you've been playing happy families with rainbows and unicorns."

"You think I was happy, that I planned to be magically implanted with twin witches whose father used to be my history teacher and that I would marry him?!"

"You don't love him?" Hope caught on.

"I do love Alaric..."

"But your not in love with him."

She only shook her head.

"Well from someone who has a parent trying to act happy for her sake, stop it. Just because you have to look after your daughters doesn't mean you have to marry a guy you don't like!"

"You have a bias opinion, Alaric's a nice guy and the twins understand. We don't do normal things couples do, we just live together for their sake, it's easier. My parents split up when I was little and it was one of the hardest things I had to go through, I never got to spend enough time with either of them and they both died to young, I'm not going to put the Lizzie and Josie though that."

Realising she was defeated, Hope sat back down on the bench and continued staring into thin air.

"You know Cami's a lot like you. She's the girl dads currently 'with'."

"Cami's a nice name. I expect she beautiful."

"She's also smart and strong but after meeting you I realised she's a replica."

"Your father has a different way of showing his love for someone but then he's your father so I presume you already know that?"

"I do but father was always different with me, I think he was so scared of being like his father that he protected me too much."

"Mikael unfortunately shaped your father but he was able to break through that, he's not the big bad wolf that he likes hearing people call him."

"So tell me about your life."

"Unlike New Orleans, it isn't very interesting here. We moved right after I had the twins-"

"Lizzie and Josie right?"

"Yep. Lizzie after my mother, Josie after their real mother. We were happy for 3 years, Alaric proposed and we had no contact with the supernatural world other than Bonnie my best friend. Then their was a incident with Rayna Cruz and I saw my ex boyfriend ,Stefan, and I could still feel the chemistry so me and Alaric split but I still visited the girls on weekends. This was fine for a year or 2 until the girls started school, there was an incident with another girl who pushed over Josie breaking her arm and then Liz accidentally used magic. The girls of course had no idea what was happening and they wanted their mommy. As Alaric called me I could hear them screaming for me in the background and I rushed over their as fast as I could but it wasn't fast enough and they were already asleep when I got there."

Caroline only stopped to wipe the tears from her eyes.

"After that, I realised that I couldn't miss more moments like that. I broke up with Stefan, I loved him but the girls were more important. I moved back to Texas and got my old job back, turns out my replacement was doing a horrible job. It wasn't long before Alaric proposed again and once again I said yes. We got married but we always sleep in different rooms, he's one of my best friends but nothing more."

"Wow. I didn't realise-"

"It's fine." She quickly ended the conversation as she really didn't want to answer more questions.

Beep Beep Beep

"Shit!" Caroline swiftly finished her latte before throwing it in the bin next to her.

"What's the matter?"

"I was meant to be shopping with the girls. I booked the rest of the day off."

"Oh." Hope didn't know what to do.

"It's a few blocks away but your part hybrid aren't you so it shouldn't be to much effort."

The confused look on Hopes face told Caroline everything.

"Oh sorry I forgot to ask. Would you like to come with us? The girls don't get to talk to many supernaturals their age or really any age."

"Are you sure? I don't want to intrude."

"You get your manners from Elijah. Of course you can come, unless you have somewhere else to be?"

"Not at all."

"Perfect, this way."

With haste, Caroline began speed walking in the direction of the shops with Hope trying to keep up with her even though she was the more powerful of the two.

I hoped you enjoyed and please follow and fav also I love to hear your comments so please review.
