Amazing Angels

Chapter Five: An Old Friend

Caroline's POV -

It's been a whole week since I was handed Arabella and I don't know if it's just her but it's not as hard as other people make it seem. Maybe it's because I'm already in love with her or it might have something to do with her being some form of a hybrid like Klaus. I have been wearing Nik's necklaces and his daylight ring around my neck it helps me feel at ease and like he is actually right by my side.

I'm going to a private mommy and me class where it's only got a few women who also live on the upper west side of New York. I park the car and then I grab the stroller out of the truck, put Arabella in it, and grab Cara's hand and we start walking to the mommy and me class.

The class helps her with interacting with babies but she is very shy a lot, Arabella clings to my shirt a lot of the time not wanting to really leave my arms which just makes me awe at her. The class reintroduced me to Kangaroo bonding again, where you place your tiny naked infant directly on to your bare chest with both you and the baby covered by an exterior wrap, like a blanket, a dressing gown, or even a shirt allowing your body heat to warm up your child, and yourself and it helps the baby and mother bond especially if the child is on formula instead of being on breast milk though a bottle or breastfeeding.

I tried it for the first time with Bella yesterday and I can't explain the feeling of it but it feels amazing to be close with a baby again especially after having done everything with Cara five years ago, and after having to accept that I'll never have any more children other then Carolina because I was turned by my best friend Katherine while I had Damon's blood in my system and, also because of the that I was friends the Elena Gilbert the most selfish and self-centered doppelganger, who thought it was a good idea to not tell me anything to do with the supernatural world and the fact that she forced me to accept my rapist Damon Salvatore who not only raped me, he also abused me, turned and killed Elena's and my ex-boyfriend Matt Donovan's sister Vicky, killed Bonnie Bennett's grandmother Shelia Bennett, turned Bonnie's mother Abby, killed Elena's little brother several times along with Alaric and also killed Stefan's friend Lexi. Elena also forced me to tell my mum that I was a vampire before I was ready to.

The other moms ask how I got my figure back so fast after giving birth Arabella and so I end up telling them all that I go to the gym every day and eat salad with the majority of my meals as well. I leave the mommy and me class, and I spot a very cute cafe across the street and decide to eat some human food and feed Bella and Cara.

After I finish ordering our food  we all go and find a nice table next to a window, I then proceed to look outside and I start to get a really good look around the cafe and I can't believe my eyes. Everyone thinks she's dead, how can she.....of course, Silas messing with our minds for the Other Side.

"Kat," I whisper out of shock knowing perfectly well that she can hear me.

I didn't realize how much I have actually missed her until I have to stop myself from speeding over to hug her. She is one of the few people who knows about what Damon did and understands my dislike towards Elena because she's with Damon despite what he's done but tries to judge me for my feelings for Nik. 

Kat walks over to my table when she finally notices Arabella asleep in her stroller and Carolina sitting eating her pizza and drinking her chocolate milk. Shock is written all over her face before she put on her 'Oh you can explain now' face and takes the seat across from me and gives me a gesture to go on with the story no doubt behind this baby.

I explain the whole situation and I see the worry in her eyes when I mention the entire Mikealson family is missing, I know Elijah and her are each other's true love. I continue on with my story of how I came up here and ended with the mommy and me class I was just at.

"Whoa Care-bear you've got a lot going on, how are you doing?" She asks.

"I am fine I was stressed at first but then I got into a routine with Arabella and Carolina and, Bella is the sweetest baby so it isn't that hard. I know you're worried about Elijah, I'm trying not to worry about Klaus. I hope they come back soon because I don't want them to miss all of her firsts." I say opening up about how I really feel instead of putting up a front around people. Kat nods agreeing with me but I know she isn't going to admit it out loud.

We sit there eating and catching up with each other. After we both finish our meals I I then convince her to move into my apartment because I miss her and so I'm not alone with a baby and my daughter anymore and I can have conversations with someone who understands what I am going through and is the same age as me, well sort of the same age as me anyway.

I text her the address that we are living at and load the stroller and baby stuff into my car and gently strap in both Arabella and Carolina. I meet Kat at the apartment. Once I get Bella and Cara inside and I put them in their rooms, I help Kat unpack and settle into my guest room.

We then ordered take-out from a Pizza Hut restaurant for dinner before it gets here I feed Bella and Cara and then I put them down for the evening so Kat and I can talk openly without the kids hearing anything adult like or even something that would be a bit too dangerous for them to hear.

We spend the entire night talking about the Mikealson's more specifically Klaus and Elijah, even though it's really hard for Kat to open up about her feelings that she has about Elijah we had a lot of fun talking about our memories with them. I  also told her about me and Klaus's time in the woods. We then finally passed out on the couch at 2 am exhausted from everything that has happened recently.
