Hey Everyone! Thank-you to all who let reviews! They were amazing! I'm getting some very unique names for Klaroline 'baby'. There's something about the 'baby' you will find out about in this chapter! So here's is my next chapter! :)
Stefan loosened his grip from around Arianna but kept a firm hold. Arianna's tiny cry pierced the dark, quiet room. He heard someone sit up in bed and fiddle around for the side lamp. He quickly unwound his arm from Caroline's and rapidly got onto his feet. He became alert and defensive of his surroundings. Suddenly, the lights came on.
"Stefan?" Bonnie said as she looked at him from her bed.
"Bonnie." Stefan let out a sigh of relief and gently placed Arianna on the bed. He placed the bag on the ground and turned around.
Bonnie got out of bed and hugged Stefan.
"I'm so glad you're okay." She said and then looked down at Caroline who was still unconscious. "Caroline." Caroline had Aden resting on her chest. Stefan bent down beside Caroline, picked up Aden and placed him beside Arianna on the bed. The two babies were quiet and staring up at their father. Bonnie watched the babies with a surprised look on her face.
"Babies?" Bonnie said questioningly. "Caroline. Is she okay?" Bonnie knelt beside her.
"Caroline." Stefan tried to wake up Caroline. He gently shook her. Caroline's eyes fluttered open. She snapped up and then yelled out in agony. She placed her hand over her mouth.
"What's going on?" Bonnie panicked.
"I don't know." Stefan said. He then looked at Caroline. "Caroline, look at me." Stefan said removing her hand from her mouth. Caroline slowly moved her hand away. There were a second set of fangs coming in and Caroline's eyes glowed yellow. Slowly, the both sets of fangs receded and her eyes returned to the natural green. Stefan picked her up and placed her on the bed.
"What's happening to me?" Caroline said.
"I think you're a hybrid now." Stefan said.
"What? How could that be?" Caroline said as she looked down at her hands. Bonnie comes around to her.
"Caroline, give me your hands. I'm going to see if the spirits can answer this." Bonnie said as she held onto Caroline's hands and closed her eyes. She remained quiet for a moment and then opened her eyes. "You're pregnant?" Bonnie said.
Caroline nodded her head and smiled. There was a certain relief on her face and Stefan knew exactly what it was. She was glad her baby made it through time travelling.
"That doesn't explain why I'm a hybrid." Caroline said.
"Actually it does. According to the spirits, you were given something before you travelled back to protect the baby?" Bonnie said.
"Yes, Ayana got me to drink Klaus's blood, which had been spelled, to protect the baby." Caroline said.
"Klaus's blood?" Bonnie said and then realization dawned upon as she remembered the names carved in the cave.
"We'll explain later." Stefan said.
"Well, it changed you into a hybrid so your werewolf side will allow you to continue carrying your child." Bonnie said.
"But that means hybrids can bear children." Stefan said.
"No, this is a special situation. She was already pregnant beforehand. Her vampire side can't be rid of so a werewolf side was added to help her carry the baby." Bonnie explained. Stefan and Caroline understood what had happened.
"I feel like I have more strength and power." Caroline said. Bonnie smiled.
"I wouldn't be surprised. You're practically female alpha made through magic." Bonnie said. Caroline looked at her and sighed. No surprise there, the alpha male's mate was always the alpha female.
As they were about to sit down and recollect everything that had just happened they couldn't help but be driven by the undying thirst as it came back. They had completely forgotten what it felt like to be a vampire.
"I need blood." Caroline said as she held onto her throat.
"Same here." Stefan said.
"I have some in the fridge downstairs for my mom, let me go get it." Bonnie said and left. Stefan quickly glanced at the babies. He didn't want to be driven to them by his thirst.
"Do you smell them?" Caroline asked. Stefan nodded his head no.
"I'm not breathing until I get blood. I can't be out of control around them. As soon as Bonnie comes back with blood for you, I'm going hunting." Stefan said.
"You should take a quick whiff. They don't smell like normal humans." Caroline said. Stefan walked over to the babies. They looked human and they felt the same. He could hear their normal heart beats but something was definitely off.
Bonnie walked in with a bag of blood and handed it to Caroline. She gave Stefan a glass of blood. It was animal blood. Stefan looked at her.
"I've been trying to get my mom to try the animal blood diet but it's not really working." Bonnie said. "Now can you please tell me what's going on? I mean whose babies are these?" Bonnie asked.
"Before we tell you everything, can you see what's wrong with them? I mean they were human when we left but now they seem a bit different." Stefan said as he sat beside the twins on the bed. He was worried. He would never be able to forgive himself if anything happened to them let alone face Rebekah.
Bonnie walked over to the bed and placed her hand on the babies. She was glad the spirits were giving her little bit of power day by day. After a few moments she opened her eyes. Everything seemed to be so much clearer.
"They aren't completely human." Bonnie said.
"What?" Stefan was shocked. What if they stay like babies forever?
"Don't worry. They are very special babies. They will have strength, senses, speed and lifespan like vampires but they won't need blood. However, these supernatural qualities will come in at the age of nine. So I would say they are super humans." Bonnie said and smiled. "But right now they are just normal human babies. Now can you please fill me in?" Stefan was relieved.
Stefan, Caroline and Bonnie sat on the bed with the two babies. Bonnie held Arianna in her lap and Caroline had Aden. They filled her in on how they ended up thousand years in the past. Also, the fact that Stefan got married to Rebekah and had these twins. Caroline was going to get married to Klaus but by that time Ayana had gained enough power and they had to come back. They asked Bonnie what they had missed and she filled them in on all the town events.
"I'm sorry on behalf of Damon." Stefan said.
"No worries, I'm just happy you guys are back and well." Bonnie said. "These babies are adorable Stefan! A really good mix of you and Rebekah."
Stefan smiled as he looked down at his son and daughter.
"I can't believe my mom went to such extremes. How long have we been gone?" Caroline asked.
"About fifteen days." Bonnie replied. "I think you need to go see your mom so Elena, Damon, Klaus and Rebekah can come back into town. Stefan you need to see Damon because I'm pretty sure he's going to snap my neck the next time he sees me. Actually, I have a plan."
Bonnie explained her plans to invite Damon, Elena, Klaus and Rebekah to the Salvatore boarding house. She was sure they were still close to Mystic Falls. Once they see Stefan and Caroline, they would calm down a bit. Caroline had to go see the Sheriff.
"What about Aden and Arianna?" Caroline asked. "We'll need to go shopping for them and we need to figure out a way to trigger Rebekah and Klaus's memories too. I mean, we can't go up to her and be like here, these are your babies."
"You're right. We can leave them with your mom and then go to the Salvatore boarding house?" Stefan said.
"And we can figure out the triggering memory part later today. You never know, it might trigger their memories just by looking at you two." Bonnie said.
"Okay, that sounds good and on the way back we'll pick up some baby milk formula and some other baby accessories." Caroline said. "Bonnie please call them."
Bonnie picked up her phone and dialed Elena's number. The phone rang four times before they heard Elena's voice.
"Bonnie. You really shouldn't be calling. You know Damon." Elena started but Bonnie cut her off.
"Elena, can you and Damon meet me at the Salvatore boarding house in about fifteen minutes. I need to tell you guys something important about Caroline and Stefan. Also, call Klaus and Rebekah there too." Bonnie said.
"About Stefan and Caroline? What is it Bonnie?" Elena asked.
"I'll tell you when I get there. Trust me. I wouldn't be risking my life to see Damon and Klaus if it wasn't important." Bonnie said.
"We'll be there." Damon said and hung up.
"Well that's done." Bonnie said. "If you guys are ready, let's go." Bonnie said.
"Wait, what are we going to tell them?" Caroline said. If they said they went back in time, it would raise too many questions and get messy.
"Until Klaus and Rebekah get their memories back, we could say we were transported to some far away land and had to find a witch to send us back." Stefan said.
"I think that works." Caroline agreed. They had been making up so many thing, why not another one. Caroline wrapped the babies in blankets Bonnie had found. They were already in the clothes left in from the beginning. They were all about to step out the door when Stefan said,
"Wait. What's that drumming sound?" Stefan said.
"What sound?" Bonnie said.
"Caroline, I think it's coming from you." Stefan said as he walked closer to her. He knew it wasn't the twins. He had the sound of their beating hearts memorized.
"I hear it too." Caroline said.
"I think it's the baby." Stefan said. Caroline nodded.
"I hear two different heart beats." Caroline said as she placed one of her hands on her stomach. Stefan nodded his head in a no.
"Three. There are three different heart beats." Stefan said. Caroline listened carefully and she heard the third beat too.
"Three?" Caroline said. "I'm having triplets?" Stefan nodded his head in agreement. "Oh my gosh. I'm going to have three babies!" Caroline said freaking out.
"Calm down Care. It kind of makes sense." Stefan said as he smiled, "If you've noticed, wolves usually have many pups at once and I think you can apply the same theory here."
Caroline walked over to the couch and sat down trying to process the news about her pregnancy.
"That means she can't go with us to the Salvatore boarding house." Bonnie said. "They'll pick up on the heart beats right away."
Stefan agreed. He held onto Aden gently rocking him back to sleep. They decided that Caroline should stay at her mother's house with the twins and only Bonnie and Stefan would go to the Salvatore boarding house.
"But I wanted to see Nik." Caroline pouted as she took Arianna from Bonnie. "How am I going to trigger his memory if I can't even go and see him?"
"I understand Caroline but think about it this way. If you come with us today, everyone will hear them. Damon, Elena, Klaus and Rebekah and then they're all going to ask questions. You know how Klaus is, this time, here; he won't just take our word for it. We need to trigger their memories first even before we tell Elena and Damon." Stefan said. Caroline nodded her head.
"Care, once we come back, I'll look through the grimoire to see if I can find something." Bonnie said.
"Okay." Caroline said and then slowly got up to leave.
"Now let's go so we can get this over with and then I can come back and play with these two." Bonnie said.
Bonnie drove the car to the Sheriff's house while Stefan and Caroline sat in the back holding the twins. Caroline mentally made a note to get car seats for the babies. Once they arrived in front of her house, Caroline and Stefan got out and walked to the door and rang the bell. Liz Forbes opened the door to find her daughter standing in front of her holding a baby.
"Caroline?" Liz was shocked to see her. Was she dreaming? All these days she spent thinking she had lost her and now here she was standing in front of her.
"Hey mom." Caroline said.
"Caroline." Realization dawned that she was actually there. Liz hugged her daughter and pulled her into the house. "Stefan! You're back too. How are you guys alive? I though Bonnie..." Liz asked as she closed the door behind them. "And whose kids are these?"
"It's a long story mom, let's sit down and talk." Caroline said. Stefan placed Aden on the sofa beside Caroline.
"I think I'll get going to the Salvatore boarding house." Stefan said.
"Okay, say hi to all of them for me." Caroline said. Stefan nodded and headed out the door. He heard Caroline start telling the story about what had happened beginning from the time Bonnie did the cleansing spell. He walked over to the car and got into the front passenger seat.
"Let's go." He said.

"What's taking that witch so long?" Klaus said. He was getting impatient and the only reason he came was because this would be his chance to kill the witch.
Damon stood at the bar with a drink in his hand indifferent about what was going on around him.
"She should be here soon." Elena said. Just then they heard the front door open and close. Bonnie came into view.
"Hey everyone, so I finally figured out what happened to Stefan and Caroline..." and before she could finish Damon zoomed towards her and grabbed her by the neck. He held her against the wall with his fangs elongated. He heard someone else vamp speed into the house and stand beside him.
"Let her go Damon." Stefan said.
