Caroline shifted nervously as for once Rebekah had absolutely nothing to say. She wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing. She could see a mix of emotions run across the other girls face. The longer she was quiet the more nervous she became. Finally she slid back down into the seat next to her. Her eyes raked her making her extremely uncomfortable. Finally her eyes rested on her stomach, which it was still pretty unnoticeable, but she was suspecting that was going to start changing.
"What?" Rebekah finally said irritated.
"The night Nik." Rebekah's eyes darkened as she called Klaus by his nickname. She started over. "The night Klaus saved me from Alaric we slept together. I found out I was pregnant a few weeks ago." She said not quite able to meet the other woman's eyes.
"Your pregnant with my brothers baby?" Rebekah asked looking at her stomach again. "Your both...well he's a hybrid and you're a vampire."
"I know. Bonnie thinks that it has to do with his blood, because... because he let me drink it while we..." Rebekah scrunched her face up and she stopped knowing she didn't need to go into detail.
Her eyes were on her again. "So I'm going to be an aunt?" She saw the small smile spread across her face right before she grabbed her and gave her a hug. That was unexpected. She pulled away her face serious again. "Let me make one thing clear though. If you hurt my brother I will kill you." She wasn't sure if that was a joke or if she was serious. Her guess serious.
"I have no intention of hurting your brother." she replied. Which she didn't. If anything it was her that should be worried about getting hurt.
"You need to understand that Nik doesn't trust anyone Caroline, he doesn't give his love to anyone. When you've been hurt the way he was as a human you can't. And you know how our emotions magnify. Yet he cares about you, I could hear it in his voice, I saw the hurt and desperation when he was looking for you. For the first time in centuries he has his humanity back, and it's because of you." Rebekah's smile returned. 'Now let's see about stopping this train and we can talk about what we need to buy for my niece."
Caroline sat processing what Rebekah had said. It hurt her all that much more to know how rough life had been for him as a human, and she was beginning to understand more and more why he had shut off his humanity. She got up following Rebekah. "You know it could be a nephew." She said as she followed her to the front of the train.
Rebekah turned to face her. "Caroline there are entirely to many men in my family." Caroline couldn't help but laugh at that.
"Well I'm pretty sure it's the guy who decides if it's a boy or girl."
"Great." she said rolling her eyes. "Now I know it will be a boy for sure."
Caroline watched as Rebekah held her phone up trying to get service on it. She had no idea where they actually were and she was pretty sure Rebekah didn't either. They had hopped on a train, and than compelled the train conductor to stop and let them off in the middle of nowhere.
That had been three hours ago. The only comforting thing was she knew that Klaus was still alive, since she was. She doubted that knowledge would comfort Rebekah much seeing as she had two other brothers. Not to mention Bonnie was in the cross fire as well.
"Finally civilization." Rebecca said as they reached the top of the hill. "Well sort of." she said as they both looked at the small town.

"Any luck on the locator spell?" Klaus asked impatiently.
"Still working on it." Bonnie replied agitated.
"Maybe if you stopped asking her every five seconds she could do it faster." Kol said rolling his eyes.
