10 years later
Caroline was sitting in her brand new house in Atlanta, Georgia wondering what she wanted to do with her life. Elena and Damon went to go live in New York together. Bonnie, Jeremy, Matt, and Tyler stayed in Mystic Falls to do God knows what. And Stefan was out traveling the world. Caroline hadn't known what she wanted to do with her life ever since she became a vampire. She always thought she would have a husband and kids with a nice home out in the country, but sadly, that can't happen now. Out of all of that, what Caroline really wanted was a kid. A little girl to be exact. Somewhere between the age of 5-10 because she isn't ready to take care of a baby yet. The problem in all of this is that vampires can't procreate, but they can adopt. With that thought in mind, Caroline jumped off of her white leather couch and sped out of her penthouse. Caroline rushed, in human speed, to her car in a hurry to find the nearest orphanage. She couldn't wait to have her own child. Even though it may not be her own child, it's still like she is getting her own child. To make herself feel better, Caroline was planning on getting a little girl that somewhat resembled herself.
It was 1:30 pm when Caroline pulled into the parking lot of Sweetheart Orphanage. Caroline knocked on the door and a mocha colored skin woman, with hazel eyes, and dark brown hair opened the door and smiled brightly at Caroline.
"Hello sweetheart. How can I help you? The woman asked nicely.
"My name is Caroline and I was looking to adopt a little girl." Caroline spoke just as nicely as the lady did and made sure to smile her Miss Mystic Falls smile.
"We'll come on in. My name is Ciara and I'm sure we can help you find the perfect little girl for you! So exactly what are you looking for in a little girl?" The woman asked politely looking around at all the children running around and playing.
"Well I'm looking for a girl who at least sort of resembles me. I also want her to be kind and caring. Also it would be great et if she was between the ages of 5 and 10." Caroline said hopefully. Caroline prayed that there would be a little girl like that at this orphanage.
The woman looked at Caroline excitedly and Caroline took that as a good sign. "It just so happens that we happen to have a girl perfect for what you are looking for!" Ciara said happily. Caroline clapped her hands and jumped up and down excitedly not caring how ridiculous she looked.
"Hope! Can you come out here please?" Ciara called out. A beautiful ten year old girl with honey blonde hair and piercing blue eyes came running from the playroom in the back of the orphanage. Caroline was mesmerized by the little girl. She was absolutely gorgeous. She had beautiful blue eyes with long honey blonde hair. The girl did indeed resemble Caroline in some ways.
"Yes ma'am?" The little girl had a sweet sounding voice that could put you into a trance.
"Would you like to be adopted by this sweet young lady standing next to me?" Hope smiled brightly at Caroline and nodded her head furiously. Caroline smiled brightly as the girl and bent down to her eye level.
"Hi, my name is Caroline. What's your name?" Caroline asked sweetly.
"My name is Hope! Are you going to be my new mom?" The girl asked with her eyes full of hope.
"If you would like me too, than yes. I would live to be your new mom." Caroline smiled at Hope and she smiled right back. Caroline was surprised when Hope gave her a hug, but Caroline quickly responded returning the hug.
"Okay, let's go get some paperwork done and you two will be all set to go!" Ciara interrupted the two. Caroline didn't really feel like doing paperwork. She wanted to go straight home and learn everything there is to know about her new daughter.
"Caroline looked directly into Ciara's eyes and her pupils dilated. "We don't need to do any paperwork. I left and took Hope with me. You gave me all of Hope's things and you wished us good luck." Caroline smiled when the woman repeated everything she said. Caroline looked down at Hope and smiled and Hope retuned her smile. Caroline and Hope then headed for the door of the orphanage to start their new life together.
"Before we go." Caroline stopped in her tracks which startled Hope. "Do you need me to do anything for you?" Hope just looked up at Caroline and smiled.
"Actually yes!" Hope said excitedly. "I've always like the name Skylar, and I was wondering if you could change my name to Skylar Hope-"
"Forbes." Caroline interrupted. "My last name is Forbes."
"Okay then. Skylar Hope Forbes. It sounds perfect!" Hope said jumping up and down and clapping her hands together. Wow. Caroline sure did pick the perfect child for herself.
After changing Hope's name to Skykar, the two headed out to finally start there new lives together.
When Caroline and Skykar reached Caroline's black convertible, Skykar's mouth fell open in awe.
"This car is amazing!" Skylar exclaimed.
"Thanks!" Caroline replied nicely. "Would you like to go on your first shopping trip with your new mom, Skylar?"
"OF COURSE!" Skylar screamed in happiness and jumped into the backseat of the car. In seconds the were off in hurry to get to the mall.
When the two Caroline and Skylar got back from the mall, it was 7:30 pm. Considering they were at the orphanage from 1:30 pm-2:15 pm, they spent a very long time at the mall.
"I'm pooped." Caroline breathed out while plopping down onto her couch.
"Me too! I didn't know shopping could be so exhausting! " Skylar said with a small laugh plopping down on top of Caroline which cause the two girls to giggle. They had bonded a lot in the past five hours and fifteen minutes. Caroline has never bonded with anybody so fast in her entire life! Skylar was something special.
The two girls spent the next few hours talking, eating, giggling, and watching movies until they both passed out on the living room couch. This was the best day of both of their lives. Caroline got the daughter she always wanted and Skylar got the mother she had always dreamed of having.
I just wanted to let the people who are reading my story know that I am a very random person. So i will probably never know when I will update this story. But I will update soon because I already have two chapters waiting. Thanks and enjoy!
