The Miracle Child

07

"I heard you crying in your room and I felt something, your sadness made me feel uncomfortable." he explained. "You were in the shower crying with your clothes on. I didn't peak through as you were in there. I saw you when you got out. Don't get me wrong." he said trying to not make me think that he went and looked me in the shower.

"That's the day I found out I was pregnant." I remember that day, after Jenna and I had gotten the test results I couldn't hold in my sadness and the shock of finding out. 

" I had been following you to ensure your safety but because of my infamous reputation I didn't want to scare you away. Riley I feel it is my responsibility to protect you." 

I looked at him in surprise, I know I had seen him in my room. I wasn't going crazy after all. "You were there." I said, more like ask. "Why are you telling me all this now?" 

Klaus stood from his chair and stood infront of me, his actions making me stand. "I still don't know why I feel so drawn to you, but until I find out, you wont remember this moment or that you met me today." I frowned at his words. "I made a deal with your friends, technically I'm not supposed to be here in this town."

"Okay but I won't tell anyone about you." I said, I don't know why I did, a few hour ago his presence scared me so much, but now I feel safe around him. 

"I wouldn't trust you on that, I have to do this." he held both sides of my face, and he looked straight into my eyes like he was looking for my soul."I want you to forget that you saw me in the woods, forget coming to my house and forget everything that had to do with me today."

I walked into the house and everyone seem to be nervous or worried about something. Jenna quickly wrapped me into a hug. "Where have you been Riley?" she asked looking at the time. "We've been trying to call and your phone went straight to voicemail." 

"I'm sorry I must have lost track of time. I just went out to take a walk and that's it." I looked at everyone, Jeremy and Elena they both looked worried. "I'm fine nothing hapened to me okay." I said twirling around.

 "I'm just glad you're okay." Elena said and pulled me into a hug. I won't lie, it made me smile because she was worried about me, I thought that she didn't care anymore but I guess no matter how many friends she will have, I'll always be her sister and nothing can change that. Just like she will be mine even if she stops hanging out with me.

"Okay, can I go to my room now?" I said and they chuckled. "I'm tired, I could use some rest." I said to them and went to my room. Testing the water for the temperature I needed, I got in, the water falling down on my head making my body relax and washing away the fatigue I had been feeling.

I remember leaving the house and walking to the woods as I went ahead and sat at the rock my dad and I would most go to. But that's it, I don't know how I got out of there, the next thing I find myself in our driveway not knowing how I got there. 

I get out of the shower after almost half an hour in there, getting in my pj's and blow drying my hair then tie it into a messy bun. I feel a kick in my belly and I smile to myelf. 

"Hello there!!" I say and soon after I feel another kick which makes me laugh. "You know, I feel sad and I don't know why. Maybe I do, I'm sad that I thought I had friends who had my back, but now they are distant. I understand we were not the very best of friends growing up, but we were still friends. Caroline, Bonnie, Elena and I, at an early age we were inseperable, we would always hang together where ever we went but in seventh grade Elena and I had a fight, a fight about a stupid thing. Caroline and Bonnie took her side even though she was wrong, I got so mad that I stopped talking to them." I said while gently rubbing my belly.

"You brought us together, and I was happy. But now I feel sad, not too sad though because I have you and when you are born, you will be my bestfriend." I sighed. I stood in front of the mirror looking at my big belly and smiled once again. "You make me happy, very happy."

I don't know what the gender of my child is, yesterday I was supposed to find out but I thought I shouldn't because I wanted to have shared that moment with my friends, sister and Jenna but they didn't show, which broke my heart. Jenna insisted that I just let doctor Stark reveal the gender to me but I refused, maybe they will come next time. I know they will.

My door slightly opened and Elena peaked through "Knock knock." she said with a smile and I nodded for her to come in. "May I sleep over, and I brought orange juice to bribe you with it." I laughed to the sound of that. 

Elena climbed up the bed and under the sheets. She gave me a side hug." I'm sorry for not going to the doctor's appointment with you yesterday." I am glad she apologized, I thought she didn't even notice that she missed my appointment but her apologizing makes me happy.

"I will only forgive you if you promise to come to the next one." 

"I promise."
