The Miracle Child

03

After spending the whole weekend in the hospital I was finally out. Jenna brought me home, It's late afternoon. There was a welcome home poster right in the livingroom. The house was extremely decorated like a whole party was taking place. 

As soon as the door opened, they screamed "Surprise". Elena ran and wrapped me in a hug, she has been feeling guilty for not taking me home but it wasn't her fault. When she heard that I was at the hospital, she immediately went there. She didn't even go to that party she was so excited about. 

She and Jenna spent their weekend there, she would only go home to rest a little bit when Jenna begged her too.

"You didn't have to do this." I say after hugging Jeremy, who kisses my cheek. 

"Well it was meant to be simple, but you know Caroline." Bonnie said, making Caroline shrug.

"We are happy you are home now Riley. You gave us quite a scare." Caroline said and hugged me. It was a small gathering. Jenna, Elena, Jeremy, Caroline and Bonnie. The Salvatores, I'm surprised because I haven't seen the eldest in weeks. Matt and Tyler. And Alaric, my History teacher and Jenna's boyfriend. 

"We are going to have a girls night after this." Elena said and both Bonnie and Caroline jumped in excitement. It's a Monday, knowing them, girls night is a bad idea.

"And me, do I get invited too?" Damon asked sarcastically.

"No, girls only." Elena said.

"It's called girls night for a reason." Caroline jumped in.

"I will be back, I'm just going to my room for a sec." I told everyone. 

I get to my room and jump on the bed, my body feels like I have been hit by a truck, not realizing I fall asleep.

***

A knock at the door shoots my eyes open, but my gaze lends on my dressing mirror. I see a figure standing behind me to the window. I quickly turn around but no one is there. It's the creepy blond guy, I'm sure I saw him.

Another knock is heard before the door slightly opens. Stefan walks in and looks around wierdly, he rushes to the window and looks out before closing it.

"What's wrong?" I ask because his actions are confusing me. I get off the bed.

"Was there someone here?" he asks but I stare at him like he just grew another head. "Riley, was there a person in your room." 

"I, I don't know. I'm not sure." I say, to be honest. I think my paranoia is getting serious. "I thought I saw someone in the mirror but when I turned to get a clear look no one was there."

Stefan shook his head. "Why would you think there was someone?" I ask.

"Forget about it, you have been in your room for about half an hour." he says and I gasp, I totally forgot there were people down stairs that came to welcome me. "Are you okay?" 

"I fell asleep, I'm sorry."

Stefan nodded and we went down stairs. People seem to be a little drunk, they have been drinking. Jenna and Ric were in the kitchen fixing some snacks, the rest of the crew were playing Drop A Hint. Stefan on Elena's group, Elena, Jeremy and Tyler making Stefan the fourth one. I sit on Damon's, Matt and Caroline's team. Bonnie is the one with the cards and giving hints to us so we guess. 

"Great, I get Barbies and a Ken." With a roll of his eyes Damon sips his drink.

We play the game, it was fun to do so. Hours had passed and we lost the game, Caroline was tryin hard but we lost. Damon had been flirting with Elena indirectly which pissed off Stefan and he left. Tyler and Caroline just got into an argument and they went out on the portch to talk. Jenna and Rick left a while ago, said they can't hang out with kids the entire day.

Eventually all the boys left, after some time that Bonnie and Jer were MIA.

***

"Girls night begin" Elena yelled with abottle of wine and four clean glasses. 

"Yay!!!" Bonnie and Caroline yelled in excitement. You can tell the girls are drunk and happy. Even after Caroline had just fought with her boyfriend. 

"So which movie are we watching, action, romance or comedy?" Bonnie asks.

"Comedy" I say quickly. 

Bonnie shrugs and quickly goes to the comedy section of the movies. "Should we watch Bad Boys?" she asks and I hum.

"Yess! I love Martin Lawrence and Will Smith." Carolines exclaims.

"You have a crush on Will" Elena jumps in and hugs her from behind. Caroline giggles and rolles her eyes.

"Okay yes, I have a crush on Will Smith. I mean look at the guy, who wouldn't." she says in her cheery voice, which is also drunk. The girls giggle, and I find myself giggling too. 

"I would." I say and for a moment everyone looks at me with shocked faces before they burst into laughter. We start talking about our celebrity crushes. It's funny, because I am acting like I'm also drunk.

We have forgotten about the movie, the whole time we have been giggling about stupid things. Bonnie go up to go to the bathroom but she fell back down and landed on me. Not too harsh though, at the contact of my skin she froze like a zombie scaring me in the process.

When she came back to her senses in like five seconds she let go of my leg that her hand had landed on. "You are pregnant!" 

My heart skipped, now I was the zombie. Both Elena and Caroline looked at me like I just grew another head. Their mouths hanging open. I didn't know what to say or do, I just froze.

Caroline looked at my belly, she stared at it and seemed to be listening to something. Her gaze went from my belly to my face. "It's true, you are pregnant." 

The girls have sobbered up, Do I lie or tell the truth?
