Our Town

Imarina's POV

It's been a fort night and Klaus still hasn't got his siblings back and I'm still pregnant. One more week, then I can get induced. Though I am tempted to get a vampire to compel someone to induce me now. Except they are all busy. Jackson has been making we rest a lot, either on bed or the sofa. Wanting me to save my strength for the birth of our cubs.

Anyway a little birdie told me it was Caroline's birthday. So I ordered her a gift and sent Jackson to collect it. While I had a shower. When I finished I saw a text from Elena. Caroline didn't show up at school and said they'd be surprising her at her house. I sent one back saying I'd be there.

Jackson returned and gave me the gift. I had him drop me off at Caroline's before sending him to check on Klaus. The others were already there. We entered the house and hid waiting for Caroline. She soon walks into her house and puts her stuff down.

"Surprise!" we all yell appearing from our hiding spots.

"Happy birthday!" Matt cheers.

"What are you guys doing here?" Care asks us confused.

"Well you blew off school and missed our work of birthday art, so..." Elena says. As she took her hat off and put it on Caroline.

"Change into warmer clothes, we are going to the Falls. S'mores, camp fire" Bonnie says.

"Cake" I add smiling.

"Like when we  were little" Elena states.

"Except for the tequila!" Matt adds.

"Don't worry, we have water for you" Elena assures me. I smile.

"Thanks, guys. Really, um, I'm just not feeling my birthday this year" Care tells us.

"I'm sorry, what? You've already claimed your birthday as everyone's favorite day of the year" Bonnie says. I giggle, that sounds like Caroline alright.

"Yeah, and now, it's just a reminder that technically, I'm dead. Look, I didn't even like 17. And the only point to being 17 is to get to 18. It's a filler year; I'm stuck in a filler year" Care tells us.

"You're not stuck Caroline" Elena and I tell her.

"Yeah I am, but it's okay. You know, it's all good, I'll be fine. But I just need some time to wallow in it" Care tells us.

"Okay, well I think I have another idea" Elena tells us. She takes us to the cemetery. To the Fell crypt.

"This is creepy, even for us" Bonnie states. I nod my head in agreement.

"No, Caroline was right...technically, she's dead. Sorry. But you don't need a birthday, you need a funeral. You need to say goodbye to your old life, so that you can move on with your new one" Elena states.

"That's a great idea Elena" I state as Caroline smiles.

"Okay. Here lies Caroline Forbes" Care says. As Elena is putting unlit pink candles on top of a birthday cake.

"Cheerleader, Miss Mystic Falls, third grade hopscotch champion" Elena says.

"Friend, daughter, overachiever" Bonnie says.

"Mean girl, sometimes, no offense" Matt says.

"Ah, none taken" Care tells him.

"Sister and Godmother" I say smiling.

"Really?" she asks me surprised.

"You were my first true friend here, I'd love it if you were Henry's godmother" I tell her handing her my gift.
