Caroline jolted out of bed and quickly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Bonnie standing in the doorway.

"You won't believe the dreams I've been having." Caroline laughed nervously as she watched Bonnie's eyes fill with tears. "What's wrong?"

"You don't remember what happened?" Bonnie quietly asked her left eyebrow arched.

"No, I must have gotten completely wasted at the fundraiser or something." Caroline admitted trying to push past the fog in her memory.

"Caroline, we need to talk." Bonnie prompted gesturing for her to sit down on the bed.

"You're starting to scare me." Caroline breathed as she hesitantly obeyed.

"You were attacked at the fundraiser." Bonnie began.

"Wait, what, attacked by whom?!" Caroline interrupted.

"You were attacked by Tyler. He was trying to kill you; he bit you, all over." Bonnie continued.

Caroline felt her heart go into overdrive as she gasped for air. The memories came pouring in one after another, the pain unbearable.

"Klaus was here, he saved me." Caroline stated now standing on her feet.

"Caroline, you need to listen to me." Bonnie demanded, pulling her back down. "Tyler's venom was tampered with. He had a witch working with him, and the power involved was lethal. Klaus's blood didn't save you, it sped up the process. By the time I got here you were on deaths door step and I didn't have much time on my side. Luckily for you my Grams left me her old spell book and I cooked up something that would defeat it, there's always a loop hole." Bonnie explained. "You should be fine now, but I need to ask you something. Did you know you were pregnant?" the word 'pregnant' sent Caroline into a panic attack.

"So Tyler tried to kill me because I'm pregnant, but I can't be pregnant… I'm a freakin' vampire." Caroline yelled.

"It's not impossible." Bonnie started before Caroline held up her hand.

"Let me guess, loop hole." She said blankly.

"Klaus went to Tyler's to avenge you and it's been hours since he's been back." Bonnie told her before placing her hand on Caroline's arm. "He thinks the baby is Tyler's because the growth of the baby indicates your four months along and that leaves a month of which you and Klaus were never together, but you're not four months pregnant Caroline, You're only two."

Caroline jumped to her feet taking in the whirlwind of events and information that has plagued her in the past 48 hours.

"Why would Tyler want to kill the baby?" Caroline asked hot tears blurring her vision.

"The witch shared her premonition with Tyler and what he saw was an abomination that needed to be dealt with." Bonnie answered now standing beside her.

"How can a baby be an abomination?" Caroline wept.

"Can I have a moment?" Klaus spoke from behind them.

Caroline ran into his arms as Bonnie respectfully made her way into the living room. Klaus inhaled her scent and kissed the top of her head before grabbing her small hands and stepping back. Confusion swept across her face as she starred back at his hardened expression.

"What did you do?" She demanded her hands going limp inside of his.

"I did what I had to do in order to protect you." He answered harshly.

"The baby…" Caroline's voice faded into a wail.

"I heard Bonnie… I know." Klaus whispered, pulling Caroline back into his arms, her convulsing body tearing away at his composure. "It's going to be alright, you're safe now." He promised.


Once Klaus calmed Caroline down and managed to get her to fall back asleep, despite the fact she had finally opened her eyes, he then greeted Bonnie in the living room where she was patently waiting on the couch.

"There is no baby inside of her, is there?" Klaus mumbled watching Bonnie wipe away at the tears she couldn't blink back.

"I'm sorry; in order to save Caroline I had to sacrifice another life. It was the only way otherwise we would have lost them both." Bonnie feverishly explained breaking down little by little with every tear that fell from Klaus's eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Klaus." She sniffed before turning to leave.

Klaus quickly grabbed her arm and asked, "Did you see my child?"

Bonnie slowly returned her attention to Klaus and gently placed her hand on his forehead, allowing him to see inside of her head.


"Mommy, when is daddy coming home?" A tiny voice asked from the other room.

"Shh, I think I hear something." Caroline said playfully.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you." The voice swore.

Klaus reared the dark corner and entered a lit room where he was then faced with a very happy Caroline holding onto a small boy.

"It's the big bad wolf." Caroline squealed before the little boy jumped to his feet and turned to face Klaus, It was as if Klaus was staring into a mirror.

The boy was a spitting image of himself, but the moment he smiled, he resembled his mother. As the boy growled and revealed a sharp pain of fangs and yellow glowing eyes, he then lunged for Klaus knocking him on his back

"You can't eat this woman; she's not on your menu tonight!" The boy laughed, his facial features now returning to normal.

"You've gotten stronger." Klaus chuckled ruffling his sons' hair.

"Almost as strong as you…" The boy questioned.

"Almost..." Klaus answered with a smile.

"I love you daddy."


Bonnie retrieved her hand and continued on her way out, Leaving Klaus to grieve and replay it one last time.
