Josie nodded slowly pursing her lips a bit as she looked away from her father and down to the dress “ I.. Think I’m going to give the dress to Lizzie.. She’ll look better in it.” She shrugged looking back at Alaric “Will you tell me one day?”

[reluctantoriginal-blog]

Alaric stepped up to her and wrapped his arms around her. “Yeah,” he murmured, pressing his lips to her forehead. “I want to say when...you’re old enough, but everyday I’m astonished by just how much you girls have grown.”

Caroline can’t help the small smile when Alaric tells her he knew she would be overachiever in this pregnancy, “You’re an overachiever in pregnancy?”, she asked in a teasing tone and a raised eyebrow. She looked down at his hand on her knee and it felt odd, not bad odd, it was comforting. It surprised her how a simple and quick touch could make her feel a little better, she had known Alaric for a while now but they haven’t really known each other until they were thrown into this. 

She looked up and him and nodded slowly, “Yeah, I think that’s a good way to describe it. It has made me feel human again, but I’m not sure how much good that is. You didn’t met me as human but I was not very good one, I was superficial and ditzy, vane. I like to think becoming a vampire was a good thing for me, it made me grow up and mature. I was so insecure when I was human, and being a vampire made me feel stronger and more confident, but now all this symptoms….I guess they make me feel vulnerable again”. She shocked herself at how easy it was for her to explain this to Alaric. Caroline bit her lip and shook her head, “Nope, I haven’t told anyone. I know i have to tell Stefan soon but I just…I don’t know how to tell him. And that is when he has time to talk to me”. It was clear that that both annoyed and upset her.

Alaric chuckled. “I meant an overachiever in general. And that you are one where as, I am not.” The entire time he had known her, she had taken everything she had to do and did it one hundred and ten percent. Perhaps even more. Caroline Forbes was never one to do things halfway and it was something he’d always liked about her. Sure, she could be a little neurotic on some occasions, but it just made her like a normal young woman.

He sighed. “You were a seventeen year old girl. You were supposed to be all those things, I’m pretty sure,” he said, frowning. She didn’t need to be putting herself down like that. It wasn’t as if those things were uncommon for teenage girls. “It’s a good thing to be vulnerable sometimes, right?” he murmured. He gave a slow nod when she told him she hadn’t spoken to Stefan yet. “Well, hopefully you tell him before he stops by and you’re showing,” he teased gently. “And I know he and Damon have a lot going on with their mother and the heretics, but I’m sure that if he knew you needed to speak to him, he would make time for you...”

“Lizzie short for Elizabeth, aka moms moms name.. Question as to where Josie er– Josette came from, well… I don’t know.” Josie tilted her head to the side, raising an eyebrow at him “Ew… And mom looks in her 20′s, she’s fine.. “

[reluctantoriginal-blog]

Alaric frowned deeply. He knew that there was a point at which he and Caroline would have to talk to the girls about...their biological mother, but things were so good and he didn’t want to burden his daughters with all of that. He sighed and just said, “Josette’s an important name to me.”

[geminiitwin-deactivated20160106]

“I am, might not be her favorite, but I’m totally the easy child out of the two.” She shrugged softly, with a small sigh “Well, what can I say? We’re two peas in a pod and you guys aren’t around as much as you were… And Lizzie has friends that can drive.”

[reluctantoriginal-blog]

“Your mother doesn’t have a favorite. And neither do I,” Alaric replied firmly. He frowned when she mentioned them not being around as much. “Well...it’s our first time raising teenagers and we might be having a little trouble finding the right ratio of trust and...well, overbearing. Besides, considering your mom doesn’t look all that much older than you at the point, I don’t think she wants some rumor going around that I’ve traded your mom in for some girl barely older than my kids.”

[geminiitwin-deactivated20160106]

“Right.. Love.” She nodded slowly “Lizzie is at a friends house by the way tonight,I forgot to tell you earlier.”

[reluctantoriginal-blog]

“Hey,” Ric said, stepping up to her. “Be easy on your mom.” He leaned down and kissed her forehead. He inhaled slowly. “She needs to start informing her parents of these things and not just you.”

[geminiitwin-deactivated20160106]

“Mom just likes throwing parties.. We’re kind of an excuse for her to throw them. I mean.. I love the parties she throws but, it’s a lot sometimes.”

[reluctantoriginal-blog]

“Yeah...your mom can be a bit much sometimes,” Ric replied, a wisp of a smile on his lips. “But it’s one of the things we love about her, right?”

sometime after the twins are born, someone goes after them because of the whole a vampire birthed them thing. alaric, of course, defends the twins to his death. within the last day, however, caroline gave him her blood to heal a rather deep cut he got while trying to cook. he wakes hours later in transition and, unable to part from his children, he feeds and becomes a vampire once more.

[geminiitwin-deactivated20160106]

“Dad, trust me.. I will be fine in this dress, I mean worse comes to worse I’ll come home and stay in bed.”

[reluctantoriginal-blog]

“Both your mother and I just want you to have a good time, you know that right? She enjoys throwing parties for you girls more than anything these days.”

[geminiitwin-deactivated20160106]

“It’s right above my knee.. Have you been seeing what Lizzie walks outside in?”

[reluctantoriginal-blog]

“I lost all hope of Lizzie ever listening to me ages ago. How about...if you wear some tights or something with it?”

[geminiitwin-deactivated20160106]

  “So – is it cute? I found it and.. I thought it’d be good for what party mom is having.”

[reluctantoriginal-blog]

“Isn’t it a bit...short?”

Caroline let Ric take all the cleaning supplies from her hands and set them aside, she sighed when he suggested she took a sit and moved to stand up, feeling the strain on her back from being scrunched down for so long, which was weird considering she was a vampire, but she guessed pregnancy was also affecting her muscles. She let out a soft whimper and arched her back from side to side to alleviate the kink on her lower back and then sat down on her bed. 

She looked at Ric and noticed he looked as stressed as she felt, and that made her feel a bit better. At least she wasn’t alone in her going a bit crazy over this new situation. She gave him a soft smile and nodded, “Ric, is okay to stop by whenever you want. I mean, I understand you want to check up on your babies. And I get the being prepared, you know how I am, so I have been doing research too”. Caroline stood up and went to her desk and brought back about 4 books about pregnancy along with a bottle of prenatal vitamins and showed them to him. “I read and I called the student health center and they said this brand was good”. She sat back down, “About how I’ve been feeling, well…it’s been quite an adjustment. It’s been a couple of years since I felt sick and now I’m rushing to the nearest bathroom half the time, morning sickness are a lie they don’t only come on mornings, they should be called all day sickness”, she said chuckling a little.

Alaric frowned. “I-” he shook his head. “I’m not trying to check up on you or the twins...” He returned to his feet and walked over to sit beside her after she had returned with the books and prenatal vitamins. “I knew you’d be reading up on it all. You’re a lot more of an overachiever than I am,” he teased. He tentatively laid a hand on her knee before returning it to his own lap. “I trust that you’re doing everything you can for them.”

He gave her a small, reassuring smile. “Does it make you feel more...I don’t know, human?” he asked curiously. It was obviously something that hadn’t been achievable before, but now she was experiencing all these things she couldn’t before. “And have you told...anyone?” he asked, his question really more asking if she had told Stefan. Part of him wanted to talk to Damon about it, but he couldn’t say anything if he had to worry about Damon breaking the news to Stefan.

Pregnant, she was pregnant. Magically pregnant by transference by a coven of witches. Never mind that she was, for all intents and purposes dead, looking over the fact that the babies she was carrying were not her boyfriend’s, or even hers for that matter. She didn’t even get the “fun” *coughsexcough* part of making babies ordeal, she just got the babies and all the symptons. Just a few weeks ago her biggest worry was her new relationship with Stefan and his first-epic-love coming back. Now she was worried about other lives not only her love life. Just a few weeks ago she was living carefree and normally not knowing she was already pregnant, but now she was very aware of the actual two little lives inside of her. 

Ever since the ultrasound and the un-cloaking of the babies she had been experiencing all the symptons. She couldn’t vamp-speed anywhere because she got very dizzy and once or twice fainted, smells were a very difficult subject lately, her already advance senses had been heightened and now an array of smells send her rushing to the bathroom. Which brings her to the loveliest perk of morning sickness, seriously, who called it morning sickness when it comes and goes all damn day?. Being the control freak she was, Caroline had researched all she could about pregnancy, bought a ton of books, she decided to do it as humanly possible so that meant, not even a sniff of alcohol and she had started taking prenatal vitamins. The one trait that had totally taken Caroline by surprised and had her amazed still was the round bump that had appeared on her belly over night and that was noticeable with tight clothes. As human she had thought about being a mom many times, but ever since she turned she pushed all those thoughts out of her life, knowing they were not an option. So she was quite shocked to see her immortal body changing now. Her waist was getting wider and her boobs looked a bit fuller.

Today she was really stressed and that meant Caroline was cleaning her dorm room to the T’s. She had to tell Stefan soon and not even writing to Elena had helped her get her mind in order, she was hoping for his support but knew this was hard to digest. And she was still upset about having to learn about his son from Valerie and not Stefan himself. She was on her hands and knees scrubbing the chimney almost to the point of getting the bricks to shine when she heard Ric’s voice. she jumped, surprised by him, “I didn’t hear you come in. Hi” 

[reluctantoriginal-blog]

Alaric walked into the room, a frown etched deeply onto his face. He understood that she was a vampire and that she obviously needed something to keep all of this craziness from overwhelming her, but cleaning that vigorously? Shouldn’t she be relaxing what with the whole twin babies in side of her thing? He gave a little shrug at her words before emptying her hands of cleaning products.

“Why don’t you sit?” he suggested, putting the stuff down but keeping his hands firmly at his sides to keep from actually moving her to a seat.

“I just, uh, thought I’d stop by,” he said, a hand running through his hair as he looked at her. “How have you been feeling?” He looked around for a moment before sitting down as well. “I was looking at some stuff- figured I should be prepared or...whatever. I mean, I know this isn’t exactly going to be a typical pregnancy, but...it can’t be too different, right?”

There had been a lot of pacing being done over the last few days, weeks, god, Ric didn’t even know how long. All he knew was that his life was quite possibly taken straight from one of those ridiculous soaps his mom used to watch when he was a kid. It had been crazy enough that Jo had gotten pregnant, but it had been amazing. And then she was dead. He knew he had very nearly lost his mind when he had been trying to bring her back from the dead, but it had been how he was dealing with everything.

But now...now, Caroline was pregnant with his twins. It was complete insanity. Sure, with Jo most certainly dead, he was pretty much ecstatic that he hadn’t lost everything, but he had to take a step back and figure out how Caroline was feeling about it all. He’d given her some space after the sonogram so that she could think without him hovering about and explain to the others what was happening.

Still, he didn’t want to leave her on her own for too long. So, he headed to her dorm room and, finding the door open, he leaned against the door frame and knocked lightly on it. “Hey.”
