Prologue
Caroline was the first to find out.
Jeremy had called her.
Ric was dead.
The father of her children was dead.
And there was only one person to blame.
Ric.
Not the vampire that killed him.
Not Jeremy for being unable to save him.
Not the ambulance driver.
Not the doctors.
The only one to blame was Ric himself.
He shouldn't have lied.
He shouldn't have been somewhere he wasn't meant to be.
He shouldn't have been in a dangerous situations, he had two children for goodness sake.
Jeremy told her everything, about how Ric had been lying to his family for the last five years and how instead of being on business trips he had been hunting down vampires for sport with Jeremy and sometimes Matt and Tyler maybe even Stefan, how was she meant to know what was the truth, he must have gone on a least one business trip.
Some of it had to be true, hadn't it.
But one day they took on more vampires than they could handle.
A vampire had picked up his fallen cross bow and turned it on Ric although Jeremy was able to take them down and call an ambulance, it wasn't quick enough.
He died in the ambulance.
The only reply Jeremy had to Caroline's surprise was that he thought she knew.
Although she was thankful to Jeremy, she had no idea what to do.
How was she going to tell her beautiful kind loving children who were currency skyping their best friend. that their father was killed because he was being an idiot killing one of their mother's kind.
So she didn't.
She woke Damon from his slumber and told him what happened.
He took care of the car, she compelled the hospital staff to say it was a accident and Jeremy kept quiet.
For his own good and hers.
She tried to be strong.
She had to be strong.
She refused to let her children see her weakness.
The funeral was somber.
Everyone was hidden under black umbrellas as the weather reflected their mood.
Beloved father, friend and husband.
Father to two amazing daughters.
Friend and drinking buddy to Damon.
The Husband because despite everything, they were married.
Surprisingly it was Damon that comforted her most, they had both lost a close friend that day.
It was the first time all her friends had been in one place in years but at that moment she didn't care about time, as long as they were there now.
The only surprise was Valerie, turns out that even though she wasn't there in person, she had spent the last 18 years trying to find a way to stop the merge from happening, she hadn't yet but she was still hopeful and even offered to help the twins learn to control their powers and she wasn't the only one, Bonnie offered her services now her magic was coming back as well as hers and Enzo's cabin.
So Caroline excepted the offer and the girls took a gap year.
It was a bunch of mumbo jumbo that Caroline would never pretend to understand but sometimes she would help them and let the twins use her to siphon. Whenever they were in town or somewhere with wifi they would try and connect with Hope but that wouldn't always happen and the girls felt bad for it.
Maybe they should visit New Orleans and after a conversation with Valerie, maybe they should visit soon.
