Chapter 2

Clover picked up Teddy later that day and they headed to the Mystic Grill for dinner and for the promised ice cream.

"Mama! Don't forget the extra chocolate this time!" Teddy reminded as they sat down in a little table.

Clover laughed. "Okay, okay! I'll make sure they know to put extra chocolate in the ice cream, okay?"

Teddy beamed and went back to coloring in the coloring book Clover had bought him for his birthday.

"Hello, welcome to the Mystic Grill. My name is Vicky and I'll be taking care of you tonight." A brown haired girl said, coming over to their table after abandoning the one she had been at for the past five minutes where two boys were. Clover smiled politely at the girl.

"That's good. Now, Vicky, my son would like a chocolate milkshake and a water for me. And then the kids chicken strip basket with grapes and the BLT sandwich for me." The girl blinked at Clover's accent that hadn't even faded the slightest in all of the years that she has been in Mystic Falls.

"Uh, yeah, sure thing. Coming right up!" Then she flounced away and Clover turned her attention back onto the picture Teddy was coloring.

They were interrupted again a few minutes later.

"Hey, Clover!" A perky blonde said, coming over with a darker skinned girl trailing behind her. Clover hid a slight grimace.

"Oh, hey, Caroline, Bonnie." Clover didn't like either of the girls, Caroline for her 'mean girl' personality and Bonnie for her judgey self.

"How are you?" Caroline asked, trying to get any gossip she can from the private Brit.

"We've been well. Now, if you'll excuse us, Miss Caroline, Miss Bonnie, our food is coming." Clover then turned her attention onto Teddy in clear dismissal of the two girls.

"Ugh, let's go, Caroline. The B*tch is apparently too good for us, but apparently not good enough for her b*stard." Bonnie said but now the two girls were pinned in place by the storm brewing in Clover's emerald green eyes.

Clover gently but firmly covered Teddy's ears which he allowed without protest as he recognized his Mommy's mean face.

"Whatever you think of me, I care not, Judgey. But do know that you've made your first mistake in insulting my son. If you ever insult or insinuate anything that involves my son again, I will make you regret it. Am I understood?" Clover growled. Now pale, both teenaged girls nodded and they darted away to a table far across the grill, with their backs to her to avoid her angry gaze. Clover took a deep breath calming herself before removing her hands from around Teddy's ears.

Teddy continued coloring before he spoke.

"I love you, Mama."

"I love you, too, cub."

Clover thanked Vicky for their food and glanced over at the table of the two girls and saw that they had been joined by Elena and a dark blonde haired guy.

Clover got a strange feeling from him but put it from her mind as she and her son at their dinner and then their chocolate ice cream with extra chocolate.

After Clover paid and left behind a generous tip like she always did, she picked up her sleepy son after packing everything into her purse and walked towards the door. At the same time, the new guy that Clover had seen with Elena was walking to the door and even held the door open for her.

"Oh, thank you, Mr..." Clover trailed off not knowing the guy's name.

"Oh, Stefan, Stefan Salvatore." She saw him instinctively hold out his hand to shake but he lowered it almost immediately after realizing that she had her hands full. But not before she saw something that she didn't like, not one bit.

"Well, thanks again, Mr Salvatore. And welcome to Mystic Falls."

Clover quickly walked to her car and got Teddy buckled in to his car seat before sitting herself inside and starting the car, locking the doors.

Clover had seen this Stefan Salvatore wearing a lapis lazuli ring which meant one of two things. It was his family's stone as she had seen some type of crest on the ring.

Or...

Stefan Salvatore was a vampire.
