For the most part when Caroline is talking to Aliyah or when she is around she is signing when she is talking.
13 years later
CarolineAliyah is turning 15 in a month (June 7) and she is growing up to be a beautiful young woman. For the most part, she doesn't speak when she is around people she can't hear but when she is around friends she talks non-stop. She loves to sing and is very crafty which she got from her dad. I love watching my daughter grow up. When she was 10 she made the mistake of telling the scooby gang she loved them.
It was heartbreaking to watch as she realized her ears were shutting them out. She cried for days about it. She had gotten so used to her blood-juice cocktail that she just keeps drinking it. She makes it herself now since she's not a little girl. Aliyah has one friend that she has known for years. Her friend Emmalee. They met when they were 4 and have been bound by the hip ever since. She only told Emmalee about us last year. She took it pretty well. Was a little mad she was lied to for almost 10 years but she got over it once she realized the danger of telling at a younger age.
Emmalee had multiple questions which we answered. Emmalee also told Aliyah to tell her she loved her because she didn't care if she was deaf or not. Because she loved her either way. I cried when that all happened...
Sometimes I find myself wishing Klaus would come visit, I mean, I am surprised he hasn't already. It's been 14 almost 15 years. Even though Aliyah looks like me she has her father's eyes, mouth, dimples, his nose. His hair. Oh gosh, Aliyah's hair is gorgeous. But I always stop my thoughts of Klaus, maybe it's better this way. He has a family with Haley. I sadly found out from Rebekah when I spotted her in Paris before Aliyah and I moved. We still have the house as a vacation house, we got there in the summer...
*flashback*
Aliyah and I were walking through the streets of Paris when I spotted a familiar blonde original vampire. I yelled, "Rebekah!" She turned around and when she saw me she flashed in front of me and said, "Caroline? What are you doing here, why aren't you in Mystic Falls?" I chuckle and say, "I moved here two years ago Rebekah; before Aliyah here was born."I motion to my daughter who looked confused. Rebekah's eyes widen as she asks, "How is that possible?" I shake my head and say, "I ask myself that every day." She holds out her hands and asks, "May I?" I shake my head and hand her over. Rebekah coos, "Hi there little darling, I'm Rebekah." Aliyah smiles and looks at me and says as she signs, "Momma I can hear her!" I nod and sign, "That's great sweetie!"
Rebekah looks at me and asks, "What's wrong with her?" I sigh and say and sign, "She's deaf Rebekah." She asks, "But she's supernatural how is she deaf?" I sigh as Aliyah reaches for me and asks, "What does she mean momma?" I shake my head and sign, "Nothing." She nods and nuzzles her head into my neck. I tell Rebekah, "You should join us for dinner, I can explain everything. Oh and please don't tell Klaus that you saw me." She nods and I give her our address before we part ways until later tonight.
As I put Aliyah in her high chair the doorbell rings and the light in the corner flashes. It was installed for Aliyah but she can hear it so there is no point. I answer the door and invite Rebekah in. When she enters she holds up a bottle of wine and says, "We may need a few drinks later." I chuckle and nod.
I motion her into the kitchen where Aliyah is trying to climb out of her high chair, but I sit her back down and strap her in this time. Dinner is finished so I set the table and Rebekah sits down and I serve her and get Aliyah's to her. I sit down with my plate and say, "So, What do you want to know?" I realize Aliyah needs her drink so I get the one she didn't finish earlier and give it to as Rebekah asks, "Who is her father?" I smile sadly and say, "Klaus." Rebekah chokes and says, "What?" I nod and say, "That's why I don't want you to tell him. I mean he has a family with Haley."
She laughs and says, "ha, family, barely." I tilt my head in confusion and she says, "Don't want to know." I nod and she asks, "How is she deaf and where did she get that scar on her arm?" I say, "A witch cast a spell on her and pretty much said that she can't hear me, Klaus, or any loved ones she says I love you too. So friends included." Rebekah frowns, "That's terrible." I nod and say, "it hasn't been easy I mean I had to master sign language quick for her. But she is worth it. And about the scar, when I was nine months a vampire stabbed me with a bewitched knife but it didn't kill her just damaged her skin forever."
She shakes her head asks, "Who could do that to an unborn child?" I say, "enemies of Klaus." She nods and says, "Well I will keep this quiet but I am going to visit often." I nod and say, "That's alright Rebekah, she's your niece, you can come by anytime. I am thinking of moving back to Mystic Falls and keeping this place as a vacation home, though." She nods and says, "Good idea." I smile and she hugs me. I was surprised but hug back.
She whispers, "You're a great mother Caroline, keep it up." I thank her and say, "Just for the record, You'd be a great mother too." She smiles and goes to Aliyah and bends down, "goodbye darling, I'll see you soon." Aliyah looks at me and I sign, "She's your aunt." She smiles and says, "Bu-bye Auntie Bex." Bekah smiles and I say, "I'll call you soon Bekah." She nods and flashes away.
*present*
I was looking out my bedroom window when Aliyah came in, "Hey momma I'm going out with Emmalee, Okay?" I nod and sign back, "Okay. Oh, wait. Your aunt should be visiting soon." She fist pumps and says, "Yes, I'm so excited!" I laugh and she runs out.I follow downstairs where the girls are about to leave and I say, "Excuse me, Miss Emmalee where is my hug?" She says, "Sorry mom!" and hugs me quickly. I laugh and say, "Have fun girls, be safe!" They laugh and they leave. I stand on the porch and a car pulls up a few minutes after the girls leave. I see Bekah jump out so I say, "Bekah!" She jogs over and we hug. We have become pretty close over the years.
She asks, "Why are you outside?" I say, "I was watching Aliyah and Emmalee leave and I got distracted." She nods and says "So I just missed Aliyah?" I nod sadly, "Sorry but she will be back later." She smiles and says, "Well that means us girls can go get lunch at the grill." I nod and say, "Okay, the girls went to the mall with Emmalee's parents in the next town over so we got awhile." She nods and says, "Get your stuff hurry up!" I laugh and do what she says.
When we get to the grill as always the gang is there. (for story sake matt is a vampire and since Jeremy is a hunter he stays young. JUST GO WITH IT) We greet them and when Elena sees Bekah she says, "Care why are you hanging out with Rebekah?" I say, "Calm down Elena she's not here to cause trouble." She nods and says, "Here to visit Aliyah?" Bekah says, "Yep, I finally got Klaus and Elijah off my back of why I came here." They nod and we sit down and Matt says, "Hi Rebekah." She smiles and says, "Hello Matt." Awkward.
Bonnie asks, "Where is our girl?" I say, "At the mall with Emmalee and her family. Or should I say, Aliyah's second family. Those two I swear can not be separated." They laugh and say, "Yeah I'm not surprised." We all laugh again. I look around the table and take mental pictures of this moment.I open the door and stumble in laughing with Bekah right behind me. It's only 5 so Aliyah shouldn't be back yet but the house is oddly dark. Bekah and I walk into the kitchen and we hear breathing in the next room. I get serious and ask, "Whose there?" Footsteps approach and I turn the light on and I gasp at who is standing in my kitchen...
