Chapter 1: The Announcement

Caroline Forbes was making dinner when there was a knock on her door. She put a lid on the pot of spaghetti she was cooking and hurried to the front of the house to see who was at the door. She looked through the peephole and smiled when she saw blonde hair. She hurriedly opened the door and smiled at the tall blonde on the other side. Rebekah pushed past without so much as a hug or greeting and went to sink into the couch in the living room.

"Bekah?" Caroline asked closing the door slowly and walking over to the other blonde.

"I have some terrible news, Caroline!" Rebekah wailed dabbing at her eyes with a tissue.

Caroline went over to her friend and sat on the couch next to her trying to console the crying blonde.

"What's wrong? Is it Stefan? Or one of your brothers? Or—" Caroline probed rubbing the woman's back soothingly.

"It's all worse than anything I could have anticipated! I thought it was a phase, Caroline! A phase! But no! It's bloody not! It's going to be permanent! Forever! Family holidays are going to be so terrible now! And every time I want to see Elijah I'm going to have to see her too!" Rebekah cried ripping the tissues she had previously been using to dab her eyes into a million little pieces.

"Bex? Bekah? Rebekah! Stop!" Caroline shouted grabbing Rebekah's hands to stop them from tearing the tissues she was getting all over her floor. The floor she had just picked up all the toys off of and vacuumed. She was not going to do that again, even for one of her best friends.

"I just…I'm so angry about this." Rebekah said ignoring Caroline who was looking at the tiny shreds of white on the floor. Caroline sighed and took the other blonde's hands in hers. She squeezed them lightly and took a deep breath.

"How about you tell me what's going on." Caroline said trying to remain calm.

Rebekah sighed heavily and looked away. "Elijah just announced that he and Katherine are getting married." She said dully with a hint of anger still in her voice.

Caroline's mouth dropped and her eyes widened. "Seriously? Elijah and Katherine? But…but…what about Katherine's vow never to get married or the fact that everyone hates Katherine for being…well…Katherine." Caroline stuttered shocked by the news.

"I know! But they are in love and now they want to get married and to make it 10 billion times worse is the fact that they want us to plan the event. As if we didn't have enough to do with the spring event season starting in a few weeks." Rebekah cried standing up and walking around the room.

Caroline looked away towards the toy bin in the corner next to the TV. She shook her head slowly trying to wrap her mind around the fact that the uncommon couple was going to get married.

She was happy in a small way since she loved Elijah and most of the time Katherine when she wasn't being a complete bitch. Alright, so maybe she only liked Katherine a small amount of the time and it was mostly since Elena and her were best friends and Katherine tagged along since they were twins.

And alright, maybe it had something to do with sleeping with one of her boyfriends when they were in high school that made Caroline not want to be around the other Gilbert, but still. She was happy for her friends for getting married, although Rebekah was certainly not. She hated Katherine and Elena, but at least she could stand to be around Elena.

Sometimes.

"I wish Elijah was marrying the other twin! Elena! That would look cuter on the napkins at least." Rebekah said quietly.

"And lets not forget the fact that you like Elena more." Caroline added smirking at her angered friend.

"Yes…that too. Elena would at least come with something positive when she is added to the family, but of course not it had to be Katherine and her sultry disposition and now we have to help her plan this wedding." Rebekah pouted.

"We? No way. We can't both focus on it, what about the Lindbloom wedding? Or the huge doctor's convention in Richmond we have been planning for the last two months. When is this wedding anyway?" Caroline rambled already feeling pressured from the events when they hadn't even fully started yet.

Rebekah sighed, "sometime in June or early July. They have yet to make up their minds."

Caroline groaned, "fantastic, that's in four months! How are we supposed to do all of this in such a short amount of time!" Caroline looked over at Rebekah who shrugged.

"No clue. I'm still concentrating on the fact that I don't want that She-devil in my house anymore…" Rebekah said.

"So does the whole family know yet?" Caroline asked quietly.

"Almost everyone is coming in for a celebratory dinner this weekend actually. The ones who don't know will be finding out, like Kol and Finn." Rebekah said rolling her eyes.

"And Klaus?" Caroline asked quietly.

Rebekah looked over at her and smirked. "He's coming in on Friday actually. He's the best man so naturally Elijah called him first and begged him to come in for a few days especially to catch up with the family and everything."

Caroline looked away. "Really? That should be fun." She said in a wannabe nonchalant voice.

Rebekah sighed and took her friends hand. "None of us have seen him in six years, Caroline, this spring and summer is going to be all about family now especially with this wedding and Nik's going to be around for awhile. Will you be ok with that?" Rebekah asked quietly.

"I—" Caroline began to say but was interrupted by the sound of pitter pattering of feet running through the house.

"Mommy!" a voice shrieked as the owner came into the living room.

Caroline smiled as she saw the small curly haired blonde boy with bright blue stormy eyes come running into her open arms. She laughed and pulled him into her lap.

"Hey baby! How was the park with grandma?" Caroline asked giving her son a big kiss on the side of his head.

He giggled and looked over at Rebekah who smiled widely back at him.

"Auntie Bekah!" He smiled and threw his arms around her as well.

Rebekah laughed as Liz came into the room. Caroline looked over at her mom and smiled.

"I started dinner." Caroline said standing up as her son began to tell Rebekah about her day.

"Great, I'm starved after being at the park for so long." Liz said smiling happily.

"Rebekah will you be staying for dinner?" Caroline asked turning to her friend who was listening intently to what the boy was saying.

"Of course!" Rebekah said happily pulling the boy into her lap as he continued to tell her about one of his friends at school. Caroline went back into the kitchen as her mom followed her.

"How was he?" Caroline asked quietly.

Liz smiled, "intelligent and happy as ever. I don't think you have anything to worry about Caroline. The teachers were only letting you know what the other children were saying so you would know. Don't worry so much, sweetie." Liz said soothingly.

Caroline smiled weakly and went back to making the spaghetti.

"I know, you're right, I just…can't help it. When he came home saying those things about what the other children said…it just broke my heart." Caroline said softly stirring the noodles.

Liz nodded sympathetically. "Have you tried telling him the truth?"

Caroline laughed without humor. "What? That I got pregnant in high school and his dad didn't want anything to do with him? I'm not saying that to him, he's six for God's sake. I couldn't do that to a six year old…I just…"

"Want to protect him from the world." Liz finished sadly.

Caroline nodded and gave her mother a small smile. "Yeah, basically."

"Klaus never said he didn't want him Caroline, he doesn't even know. There's a difference." Liz added quietly.

"I know…but sometimes—" Caroline began to say but was cut off by her phone ringing on the table.

She grabbed it to answer it and smiled slightly when she saw the name on the caller ID.

"Hello." She said.

"Hey, baby, what are you doing?" Tyler's voice came over on the other end.

"Making dinner." Caroline said glancing at her mother. She motioned for her mom to continue stirring the noodles and then she went outside onto the front porch to talk on the phone.

"How are you today?" he asked. She could hear typing in the background and she assumed that he was still at work.

"Tired. Rebekah's over she just told me that Elijah and Katherine are getting married." Caroline said laughing thinking of them actually going through with it.

Tyler laughed on the other end of the phone as well, "wow. I never though I'd hear you say that. Are you and Rebekah planning the wedding?"

"It looks like it." Caroline said heavily.

"Well I was just calling to say hi and see how you were I still have to finish some things at work, but I'd like to take you out this weekend." Tyler said.

"Alright when are you coming in?"

"Probably Friday night. Maybe we can go up to Richmond, stay the night have a fancy dinner." He said seductively into the phone.

"As tempting as that sounds, I can't, I don't want to leave Will by himself and there's a family dinner at the Mikaelson's for the wedding announcement so…maybe this weekend isn't so good." Caroline said quietly.

There was a long pause on the phone. "You're mom can watch Will, Caroline."

Caroline winced at his tone. "Yeah, except she works early on Saturdays and I'd have to rush home to watch him. I don't want to do that. I'd just prefer staying here, if you want we can have dinner Friday, I think the Mikaelson dinner is Saturday, but I have to check with Rebekah."

There was a grunt on the other side of the phone and a mumbled fine as Tyler hung up. Caroline sighed and went back into the house knowing that, that conversation was far from over.

Lately Tyler had been trying to do everything in his power to get her into bed and as much as she thought she liked him she wasn't ready for that yet. The last man she had slept with had taken her virginity and gotten her pregnant.

She wasn't ready for Tyler yet.

Or possibly ever.

She knew that, that was an issue, but she continued to wave it into the back of her mind.

"How's Tyler?" Liz asked as she was draining the spaghetti.

Caroline shrugged feeling a lot less happy as her son and Rebekah came into the room.

"Tyler's here?" Rebekah asked curiously.

"No he just called." Caroline said scooping up Will and taking him to the bathroom to wash his hands.

"Is Tyler coming for dinner?" Will asked as he stood on his tip-toes to wash his hands.

"No baby, mommy was making plans for this weekend." Caroline said helping him wash his hands.

"Oh." Will said quietly.

"How was school today?" Caroline asked taking a towel to help him dry off.

Will shrugged, "it was ok. My team won in soccer today! I made the scoring goal."

"Oh! Baby! That's great I'm so proud of you!" Caroline gushed leaning down so she could kiss him on the cheek.

He giggled and took her hand as they walked back into the kitchen to eat dinner. Rebekah was setting the table and Liz was making salad to go with the pasta. After everything was set all four of them sat down to dinner.

"So Rebekah how are you? How's your family?" Liz asked serving the salad.

"Fine." Rebekah said before taking a bite of pasta.

"Elijah's getting married." Caroline said looking at her friend over her glass of water.

"Really? Well congratulations!" Liz said happily.

"He's marrying Katherine." Rebekah sneered.

"Uncle Elijah's getting married?" Will asked excited as Caroline put food on his plate.

"He is, baby, to Katherine, you know Auntie Elena's twin." Caroline said as she put some salad on his plate.

"Mommy! I don't want salad!" Will whined.

"Will, you need to eat salad so you can grow big and strong! Do you wanna stay this height forever?" Caroline asked looking at Will.

Will pouted, "only a little bit."

"All of it." Caroline said a final tone in her voice.

Will huffed and picked up his fork and tentatively put the leafy greens in his mouth.

"Well that's exciting." Liz said.

"I suppose." Rebekah said stabbing a piece of lettuce.

Caroline sighed, "it will be. We will be doing the event of course. Now when is the family dinner?" Caroline asked looking over at Rebekah.

"It's Saturday, Will can come too and if Tyler has to I guess he as well." Rebekah said a sly smile starting to form on her face.

Caroline frowned at her, "Don't look so excited."

"Will Klaus be there?" Liz asked looking over at Will who was wrapping his spaghetti around his fork.

"Yes…he comes in on Friday." Rebekah said glancing at Caroline and then Will.

"It's fine mom. He'll be here, I'll see him again, maybe he can meet Will. We're adults. Everything will be fine." Caroline said trying to sooth herself more than her mother.

Liz raised an eyebrow at her, "and will you be telling him about Will as well? About the fact that…he deserves to know Caroline."

Caroline looked down at her plate of half eaten spaghetti and sighed. "It's not an easily avoided topic, so yes, I will be letting him know. But it's not like it's my fault that he didn't know in the first place. I haven't seen him since Prom night." She grumbled.

"Whose Klaus?" Will asked suddenly looking at his mother.

"He's my brother." Rebekah said glancing between Caroline and Will.

Will scrunched his nose up cutely. "That's a weird name! Is he like Uncle Elijah? Or Uncle Kol?"

"Yes, he is and you get to meet him on Saturday at our dinner party! Won't that be fun?" Rebekah gushed.

"No." Caroline grunted annoyed.

"Do you not like, Klaus, mommy?" Will asked looking over at his mother with wide eyes.

"He and your mommy used to date a long time ago." Rebekah answered for her.

Caroline glared at her, "Rebekah, enough. You should just be glad we're coming."

Rebekah rolled her eyes, "you're going to have to face the music sooner or later, Caroline. You knew this was going to happen." Rebekah said haughtily.

"Whatever." Caroline responded irritated and then stabbing some lettuce on her fork.

"It'll be fine, Caroline. Just tell him. He has a right to know the truth." Liz said quietly.

"And when the time comes I will. Now let's please drop it. Friday is a long way off." Caroline said annoyed.

Liz and Rebekah returned to their meals and Will began to tell them about the book they were reading in story time. By the time dinner was over the tension had dulled down, but the fact that Klaus was coming to Mystic Falls for the first time in six years was making Caroline more scared then she had felt in a long time.
