Chapter 30


I didn't know how i felt at this very moment. From this moment on I saw everything in my life so much more clearer. Whether or not I was going to have a child, it made me feel..different. Was I ready or wasn't I? Will it be like this 10 years from now? I had too many questions going on in my head, but the major question- Is this even real?

I walked out of the bathroom and straight back into the kitchen where Elena and Bonnie stood anxiously. I had so many things to say to them but when I opened my mouth, tears started flooding down my cheeks instead. They both approached me and hugged me. I couldn't believe the look in their eyes & I hadn't even told them the results. They just hugged me.

As I pulled back I managed to say a few words, "Th- this is unreal. I cannot be pregnant, I mean I'm way too young. I'm a freaking vampire & vampires do not reproduce. Oh this is all so sudden. Oh my gosh, I'm hyperventilating- I can't breathe! But if I can't breathe that means I'm not really here, am I a ghost?! Bonnie help!" I screamed & clutched onto Bonnie. Okay, so maybe it was more than a few words.

"Well the only thing you can do right now is go to the doctors.." Bonnie suggested.

I nodded uncertain & turn to Elena, "Can you ask Stefan to take me? I don't think i can handle driving right now.."

"Sure, I'll ring him now." she smiles and walks out into the patio.

I look at Bonnie who had a wide grin planted on her face, "This is not something to be happy about Bon!" I say, almost seriously.

She giggles & nods, "I know- I know, its just- I'm happy for you either way."

I was about to respond when Elena came back, "His on his way. Don't worry Care." Elena assured me.

"How am i suppose to go to college with this? Th-this is unreal- I -I" I sputtered out.

"Caroline, you're not alone in this." Elena grabbed my hands as she tries to calm me. I took a deep breathe & calmed myself.
I wasn't ready for this, any of it.

Stefan came moments later with a wide shocked expression on his face. "Is this even possible?" he asks.

"We've already established that & yes it's apparently very possible." Bonnie nodded.

"Well come on, I'll take you to Dr Fell." he says, walking out the door. I followed Stefan to his car & closed my eyes tightly as I sat down.

"So," Stefan started, "Is it Klaus?"

I immediately widened my eyes in shock to the question he's asking, "Are you implying that I sleep around?!" I shouted.

"No no no of course not!" Stefan waved his hands in defense, "It's just- if it was, well Klaus will have 2 kids." He says, almost amusingly.

"This is not good." I breathed. I felt my stomach turn at the thought of seeing 'him' or better yet telling him.

Stefan and I soon arrived at the hospital. I sat on the bed as Dr Fell examined me, after a few tests she walked to the other side of the room to her computer. It felt like it had been at hour before she finally turned back around.

"So." I started, "Am I-?"

She smiled, "Congratulations, you are indeed."

She walked to me and handed me a photograph- an x-ray of my baby. I studied it carefully, it was beautiful. My baby looked so healthy & I thought to myself, wow thats growing inside me. That was the moment I fell in love with my child.

--------------------------------------

"Are you for real?!!" Damon shouted as Stefan and I walked inside his house.

"Damon..." Stefan dragged.

"Don't 'damon' me! I could hear that things heart beat the minute you stepped into this house!" He argued.

"Its a child, not a 'thing'" I protested.

"It doesn't matter. It has to go." He stated.

I tilted my head to the side, "Since when did this become your decision?"

"Every single one of Klaus's enemies will be after that thing!" He argues pointing to my stomach. I covered my belly suddenly feeling anxious.

"No one knows about it & its going to stay that way." I protest and turn to Stefan. He hasn't said much and I wanted him to set his brother straight.

"Look its not our decision, its Caroline's & what she wants to do with the baby is none of our business." Stefan speaks to Damon.

"You guys are going to get all of us killed!" Damon yells as he walks put of the room.

After Damon's grand exit, Stefan grabs his phone out of his pockets & starts dialing a number.

"Who are you calling?" I asked.

"Klaus."

I gulped, "What? Why?"

"I'm going to ask him not to bring Haley." he says looking up at me.

"Thank you Stefan." I smiled.

{2 weeks later}

It was Wednesday morning & today was the day I was going to officially finish high school, my graduation. I walked to my mirror and turned to the side. I noticed I was starting to show. I grinned & gently patted my stomach.

"Caroline?" I heard Elena's voice from downstairs. I grabbed my things & headed downstairs & found Elena already in her cap & gown.

"Wow someones excited!" I giggled as I hopped into her car.

"I'm more excited about the wedding!" She says cheerfully.

"Yeah." I nodded assuringly. I've always loved Stefan & Elena together but I for a fact do not like the way Elena lied to Stefan about Damon. "So you're actually going to get married." I said.

"And you are pregnant. Wow, i didn't really expect this for our graduation." she laughed uncomfortably.

[2 hours later]

The ceremony was a big hit, practically everybody in town showed up. Which is not a big surprise in Mystic Falls. I watched Bonnie walk on stage & received her diploma. The crowd applauded her & I cheered.
After a few more students my name was finally called, "Caroline Forbes." The mayor says on the microphone.

I titled my head up high & grinned as i walked onto the stage. I looked over the crowd & saw my mom third row from the front applauding me and taking pictures. I waved to her & she smiled. I then walked to the mayor who then gave me my diploma. This was it, I was finally an adult.

As I walked back down I noticed someone I wasn't expecting to show up at all, Haley. She was wearing knee high boots with black skinny jeans & and a cardigan. I frowned & quickly walked up to her.

I gritted my teeth, "You better explain to me why you're here in the next 10 seconds or I swear-"

"Just relax!" she interrupted. "I'm just observing."

"What?" I stepped back, giving her room.

She examined me from the bottom, up & then she smirked, "You're pregnant?"

"How could you tell?" I asked shyly, covering myself with my hands.

"A woman knows." she states.

"Well good news for you, I'm not planning on telling Klaus." I crossed my arms & frowned.

"Why not? Its his responsibility too." She says seriously.

"Unlike you, I don't like to destroy relationships." I point out, "Besides he should be raising your child. I mean he did knock you up first." I said, trying to make it sound like a joke.

"Caroline, theres something I should tell you..." Haley started.
