A/N: Ok. So this is my new story, it's basically about Caroline somehow getting pregnant despite being a vampire, then getting closer to Klaus, and - read the summary basically ;) I've got about 3/4 of this fic planned out, and I'm very happy with what I've got so far, and I hope you will be too :). And BTW this is kinda AU.
'When odd things start happening to Caroline, she soon discovers the impossible is happening - She's pregnant, with Tyler's baby. And when Tyler becomes reluctant to take care of Caroline, she finds herself growing closer to Klaus. But there are things that confuse Caroline, like Klaus's reaction when he finds out she's pregnant, his increasing uneasiness as her due date approaches, and the special liking the child seems to take to him.'
The chapters will be fairly short, around 2000 words each maybe? It all depends on the chapter really, some may be longer than others. But despite the shortness, hopefully that will mean that I will be able to update around twice a week, give or take, and overall the story will be longer.
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING YOU RECOGNIZE.
I ran out of the Lockwood mansion with tears streaming down my cheeks. Tyler could be such a jealous ass sometimes, even when there was nothing to be jealous of. We'd just been talking and the conversation had turned to the 2 months he'd spent away from Mystic Falls when he was trying to break the sire bond to Klaus, and for some reason he'd brought up the whole Klaus-having-a-thing-for-me situation. I of course had once again just brushed it off, I said it was just some game Klaus was playing with me, he didn't actually feel anything for me, he wasn't capable of feeling. But Tyler had insisted that that isnt what it looked like, especially when he found that drawing in my room. He'd asked me to tell him honestly whether anything had happened between us while he was gone, and although I swore on my life that nothing had happened and I still hated his guts, always had and always will, Tyler still didn't look convinced. That was when I flipped out.
I started yelling at him that he clearly didn't trust me and he seemed to think that if he was gone for more than five minutes I would go sleeping around with the first guy I layed eyes on, much less the enemy.
But then I yelled something at Tyler, and his responding expression made me pause and become suspicious. I'd shouted that I hadn't given him a hard time over when he was away in Tennessee, grilling him over whether he had been sleeping with other girls while I wasn't around. The look he gave me after I said that looked guilty, so I questioned him further on the subject, but he'd just given me the same response I'd given him, insisting nothing had happened blah blah blah...But I wasn't so sure. It was just that look he gave me that made me wander if something had in fact happened.
"Well we clearly don't trust each other to stay faithful anymore, so I think we should break up."- is what I said to him before turning on my heel and walking out of his bedroom, down the stairs and out the front door.
I wiped the tears and smudged mascara from under my eyes just as I reached my car, I pushed my hair out of my face, then opened the door and got in. I glanced back over to the front door of Tyler's house, and saw that he wasn't stood there apologising and asking me to come back, he wasn't there at all. I could hear that he had music on in his bedroom now, and was probably working out or something. He tended to do that when he was angry.
I shoved the key in the ignition and started my car. I pulled away from the house and drove down the long gravel driveway of the Lockwood Estate.
As I pulled out onto the main road I didn't really know what to do with myself. Options where I could go home and sleep, go to Elena's or Bonnie's to vent it all out, or go the grill and get really, really drunk.
I voted for the third option.
I drove through the streets of Mystic Falls until I reached the town square, then pulled up into a space in the parking lot round the back of the grill and went in through the back entrance which totally wasn't supposed to be used by anyone except employees but Matt and Jeremy always let me use.
"What's going on with you?" Matt asked as I sat on one of the stools at the bar.
"Everything. Don't wanna talk about it. Can I have a vodka please?" I asked, throwing him a 'pretty please I really need this smile'.
"No."
"Pleaaaase?"
"No Care, my boss is still onto me from last time."
I pouted. Matt looked around the room, and when he saw that his boss wasn't in sight he said "Fine."
I smiled as he took a glass and filled it, then placed it on the bar in front of me.
"You didn't see anything." He grinned.
I winked. "I didn't see anything.
I downed that drink within 15 seconds then looked back over at Matt with a pleading expression.
"Sorry but my shifts ending now, looks like you're gonna have to beg one of the other waiters." He said as he headed into the store room. I frowned.
6 shots of vodka and two glasses of Whiskey later from a compelled barman was when I heard that god damn sexy British accent come from behind me.
"Evening Sweetheart."
But thanks to my current drunken state of mind, instead of just telling him to piss off, this is what I turned around and said to him: "Why is your voice so sexy?"
Oh my god I so can't believe I actually just said that.
Klaus just looked at me curiously for a moment, then obviously realising by the bewildered looking expression on my face that I was pissed, he smirked and sat down next to me, and ordered two drinks. While he did I glanced at him from the corner of my eye. He was wearing a grey shirt that made the muscles of his chest look really, really good, with a black coat, and black jeans.
He turned back to me. "You're upset." He stated.
"No I'm not." I replied.
"Don't lie to me sweetheart. I can tell something's wrong."
"I'm fine." I said as I leaned over the bar and took the bottle of whiskey.
"Then why are you here, alone, at 8pm on a Wednesday evening, drunk?" He asked.
"Because." I said like that explained everything as I filled my glass right to the top.
He smirked and leaned closer towards me. "What's wrong?" He repeated.
For some reason I still don't understand, I didn't deny that anything was wrong that time, instead I just blurted out everything that had happened with Tyler earlier that evening, including the argument over him, and our break up, to which Klaus smiled upon hearing about.
"You've broken up with him?" He asked.
"What's it to you?" I slurred, then downed half the drink Klaus had got for me.
"Nothing." He smiled.
I turned my head away from him and went back to my drink, I drank a mouthful of it then glanced over at Klaus from the corner of my eye to see he was smiling to himself.
I scoffed. "Oh please." I said bitchily, "Don't think you've got a chance just because I'm not with Tyler anymore."
He smirked. "And why haven't I got a chance?"
"Uhh, have you met you?"
"Yes. And I know you don't even know a quarter of who I really am."
"Oh really. So you're saying there's more to you than a murderous, psychopathic, self-centred jackass?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying."
"Well I'm sorry if I find that hard to believe, but those are the only parts of you that you've shown me."
"Yes, and that's because you won't take a chance and get to know me."
I didn't really know what else to say to that, so I just sat there quietly and let Klaus probably think he'd gotten to me, which he totally hadn't.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to get home." I said and made an attempt to get up from my chair without falling over and making an ass of myself in front of Klaus.
"Is it so bad that I want you all to myself?" He asked as I stood up.
"I believe that's called being selfish, Klaus. You can all share me can't you?" I said sarcastically as I tried to put my coat on, but then realised it was inside out and I had just put my right arm through the left sleeve.
"I believe that's called being a slut Caroline." He smirked. I looked at him and rolled my eyes. I was about to pick up my bag and walk away from him when he reached over the bar and took two shot glasses and a bottle of something with a Russian looking name. Whatever it was it smelt like raspberries, which I absolutely love, and was a rather inviting looking deep red colour. So I immediately sat back down again and took both of the shots from him and downed them both. He looked at me with an amused expression then refilled them again and took one of them from me before I had the chance to steal it again.
He held up the glass and turned to me, I clinked my glass against his and downed it in one mouthful.
An hour later we were both, for lack of better word, completely shit brained. I'd lost count of how many shots I'd had, but I think it was around 20. We'd talked about the most random of things, and I remember Elijah's hair even coming up in conversation at one point. Klaus had been making me laugh all evening, and I'd lost count of how many times I'd punched him in the arm because he'd make some cheeky remark to something I'd said. We were now outside the grill walking down the street towards the parking lot, the cold air felt good on my skin, it had been so stuffy inside. I stumbled slightly as we walked though the gates to the parking lot but Klaus caught me around the waist before I fell to the floor.
"Where's my car?" I demanded to know as Klaus let go of me and I stood upright again.
"You can't even walk Caroline, much less drive."
"I'm fine, I can walk perfectly fine." I said as I spotted my car and started walking towards it in a wobbly line. My head started spinning suddenly and before I knew it Klaus was in front of me holding onto my arms so I wouldn't fall over.
"I'll drive you home." He said, and as he did I noticed he was swaying a bit. I don't think he was quite as drunk as me, but he sure was close.
"Hey drunk driving is illegal." I frowned.
"I'm sure I've mastered the skill more than you have love." He smirked.
I stuck my tongue out at him and he smirked again as he gently pulled me down the opposite end of the parking lot towards his car. As we reached it I saw it was a black SUV, and a really expensive looking one.
"I love your car." I said as I ran my hand along the door of it. "Can I have it?" I smiled hopefully.
"Of course you can." He replied as he unlocked the passenger door for me.
"Seriously?" I asked surprised.
"No." He smirked and I pouted. He opened the passenger door and held it open for me as I climbed in. I watched him through the window as he shut the door, walked around the front of the car and got into the drivers seat. He turned the car on and pulled out of the parking lot.
I sat in silence for the first few minutes of the car ride before I said anything.
"Where are we going?" I asked frowning, suddenly forgetting why I was in his car with him.
"Your house." He replied.
"Why?" I asked slowly.
He smirked to himself. "I'm taking you home."
"Oh." I said. He turned and smiled at me.
"Eyes on the road." I told him.
"Sorry, can't help myself." He said as a smirk worked it's way onto his face and he continued staring at me.
I somehow managed to catch him off guard at that moment and whacked him hard on the arm. He didn't even flinch but instead just said in a sarcastic voice, "Ouch."
I pouted at him again. His smirk grew even bigger. "I love it when you do that."
I brought my arm out and elbowed him playfully in the ribs, he shoved me gently and I smacked his leg again. We started laughing and play fighting, and he wasn't paying much attention to the road anymore, it was a long straight road that we were driving down anyways, so I guess it didn't matter too much if he wasn't looking at it 24/7.
But I guess neither of us noticed when his arm accidentally knocked the steering wheel to the left slightly, because as he was tickling me and I was laughing and screaming at him to stop there was a sudden blindingly bright light that appeared which I soon registered as being car headlights and the sound of a horn beeping, and I realised we were driving on the wrong side of the road with a car heading straight towards us.
I screamed and grabbed the steering wheel and yanked it to the right so we were back on the correct side of the road again. Klaus looked back to the road and pulled over. He turned to me as I was now sat here breathing heavily with my hand on my chest trying to calm myself down.
"Are you alright?" He asked in a worried voice, I nodded and said nothing.
When my breathing had returned to its normal rate and I'd gotten over the sudden shock of almost crashing I turned to him and suddenly burst out laughing hysterically. He smiled and started laughing too.
"Oh my god." I said while giggling and trying to breath at the same time. "I can't believe you almost crashed!" I laughed.
"It's your fault!" He grinned, also laughing, I punched him in the arm. "Is not." I smirked.
He smiled at me and pulled away from the side of the road and began driving again.
"Seriously though, eyes on the road this time." I said in a deadly serious voice. He smirked and nodded.
A few minutes later we pulled up outside my house and we both got out. I sighed in relief when I saw my mom's car wasn't in the driveway, she must be on a night shift tonight, thank god I wouldn't have to go inside to her like this. We walked up the garden path and up the porch steps before I stopped just outside the door and turned to him.
I looked up at him not quite sure what to do now as he looked down at me. I noticed how much taller than me he was, my eyes were on the same level as his mouth, which I was now staring intently at. He moved his hand up to my face and tucked a strand of hair behind my left ear, then dropped his arm back down to his side and looked back at my face.
There was a strange moment that occurred then, it only lasted for a second or two, but it was like time stopped and we had been stood there for hours, it felt disorientating and I wasn't sure I liked it at all. But it passed as quickly as it appeared. I guess it was just the drunkness still in play.
"Goodnight Caroline." Klaus said quietly then walked away from me and back to his car. I watched him as he walked down the steps and back down the garden path, before getting in his car and driving away. I turned and opened the front door, walked inside and closed it behind me. All I could think about at that moment was how tired I was and how much I wanted my bed.
A/N: Hope you like so far :) next chapter will be out tomorrow at some point.
