Prologue: Human Problems

Caroline Forbes couldn't believe where she was at that precise moment. She was in Klaus' bed, exactly forty five minutes after the veil had gone up and Klaus had given her an amazing speech of him "intending to be her first love" and something else that was Nicholas Spark's worthy.

She hadn't known what had overcome her, but before she knew it she had wrapped her arms around Klaus's neck and started aggressively kissing him and before she knew they had someone ended up in his bedroom having the most amazing and aggressive sex that Caroline had even experience in her life.

Caroline quickly dressed in her cap and gown that she had hastily thrown on the floor, she had been lucky that Klaus hadn't ripped them to shreds. "Crap," she groaned as she grabbed her phone. "I'm late, I was supposed to meet my mom for dinner twenty minutes ago!"

An amused Klaus sat back lazily. "Can't you just post pone it? The bed is warmer with you in it, love."

"No, I can't post pone on my only living parents you hybrid ass," Caroline said with an amused smile on her face. "And this doesn't change what I said even if we did sleep together. I not going to New Orleans with you."

"I didn't expect you too," Klaus said. "Deny it all you want, love, but I'll have you in my arms once again. Sooner rather than later."

Katherine Pierce opened her eyes and the first thing that she noticed was the ceiling. The second thing that she noticed was that every limb in her body hurt. She sat up and let out a loan groan. What the hell had happened?

Suddenly, something flashed in her mind. She and Elena fighting. Katherine almost attempting to kill Elena. Elena shoving something in her mouth. Katherine hearing the words, have a nice human life, Katherine.

"No," she choked out as she raced to the nearest bathroom. Her face was slightly swollen by bruises that were not healing and there was a cut on her bottom lip as well as tiny dribble of what was left of the cure. "No," she choked out. "Is not possible. I can't be human." She punched the nearest mirror and let out a yelp as she the sharp shards hit her skin causing it to bleed. She wasn't healing.

Katherine sunk into the floor, letting out a rare wail. She was human. Weak. Vulnerable. With a thousand enemies. If she wasn't careful she was going to end up dead, permanently this time.

Two Months Later

June.

This was the month of beach trips, pina coladas, and bikinis, but not for Caroline, since Elena had left on a road trip with Damon and Bonnie was vising Abby she had decided to focus on the way that they should decorate their dorm room. And so far Caroline had decided on lavender and a baby blue theme pattern.

She took a bite of chocolate, she had been craving chocolate lately. "Come on fit already," she said impatiently as she pushed the remaining decorating books in a spare box. "Ugh!" she put her blond hair in a ponytail and went to answer the door. "What?" she screeched. She stopped short. "Katherine?"

Caroline could barely recognize the doppelganger, her usually curly hair was frizzy, her makeup was smudge, and she was wearing an old sweatshirt and a pair of tattered jeans. Human life hadn't been kind to Katherine Pierce. Elena had told her that she had forced fed the cure to Katherine, but Caroline hadn't expected to deal with her again.

"What are you doing here?" she snapped. She still hadn't quite forgiven the human for killing her.

"I turn you into a vampire and this is the thanks I get?" When she saw that Caroline wasn't budging she sighed. "I'm sorry, all right? Can I please stay here for a few days . . . or months?"

"What?" Caroline scowled. "No!"

Katherine's eyes narrowed for a bit before she took a deep breath. "Please, you're my only option."

Caroline felt a small twinge of guilt. "Fine, come on in. My mom is not home."

Katherine looked around at the pillows that obviously looked slept in and all the half eaten candy bars. "You're a vampire and this is what you're doing with your life? You're acting like a pregnant lady and trust me I know how that feels eating all day and sleeping every second. Did Klaus finally knock you up?"

Caroline opened her mouth to argue, but nothing came out. She had been feeling weird these past couple of weeks. But she had thought it was due to stress what if it was something else?

"Do you have anything to eat?" Katherine whined. "I'm starving."

"Yeah, help yourself in the kitchen," Caroline said her mind drifting off somewhere. Mood swings. Feeling bloated. Cravings. Pregnancy signs. But that wasn't possible, she couldn't get pregnant, vampires didn't procreate right? Caroline grabbed her car keys. "I'll be right back, Katherine I'm going to the pharmacy."

"Will you hurry up in there?" Katherine knocked on the bathroom door, she was wiggling her legs back and forth. "You've been in there for half an hour and I need to pee! Caroline, I have the bladder of a squirrel now that I'm a human so would you hurry the fuck up."

Caroline opened the door, her face was pale and she was holding a white stick.

"Ew," Katherine wrinkled her nose. "What's that? Are you sick? You look like you're going to throw up."

"I think I am," Caroline said softly as she showed him the white stick with a pink plus sign. "I'm pregnant."
