BABY-DADDY
[2×09]

|One Year Ago|

I WAS GRABBING MY THINGS TO GET READY TO GO TO MY NEW SCHOOL. I hadn't even made any friends, and my bump was starting to show already. I doubted I would make one. I tossed all my things in my bag, wishing I could just stay home. I finally just dropped my bag and all the school junk on my bed, sighing.

I ran a hand over the small bump. I was just over four months. I walked over to my mirror, pulling my shirt up to see it better. "Well, there you are," I said. "I'm sorry I got us both into this mess."

There was a knock at my door and I quickly fixed my shirt. "Come in," I said.

My dad opened the door. "Hey, I set you up a doctor's appointment at three thirty," he said.

"You set it up?" I asked.

He sighed. "Your mom told me to set it up for you since she isn't here," he said.

"So, she really doesn't want anything to do with this," I said, grabbing my things.

"Rory," he began.

"I know. I'm the one who messed up, not her. You both realize it is still a person, right?" I asked, walking into the living room.

"Well, I was under the impression it was a person I wouldn't know," he said.

"I don't think either of you really want to know it," I said, and went out the door.

|Present|

Elena was going to go talk to Katherine, who had been locked in a tomb under a church that had burnt down a century ago. Me and Caroline were supposed to keep Stefan distracted while she was gone. Well, she only asked Caroline, not me. The thing was, I liked Stefan and Caroline wanted some back up.

I hoped it would give me an out on part of school, because my babysitter was sick. I was a senior, meaning I had a few free periods. I had two classes in the morning I had to go to today. My mom had agreed to take the first one, but wasn't sure if she could do the second one. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it to my other class.

Me and Caroline were now running across the school parking lot, trying to catch the younger Salvatore. "Hey! Stefan! Umm, I need to talk to you. Where are you going?" Caroline asked him.

"Well, Elena went home sick. I just want to check on her," he told us.

"Ditcher," Caroline teased.

"I'm kinda worried about her," he said.

Caroline stopped, so I did too in hopes of not running into her. "You know what? Of course you are. Go ahead. I- you know what? We can talk later," Caroline told him.

We both turned to walk away, knowing Stefan was too good to ignore us. "Uh, talk about what?" he asked.

"I might have done something," she said.

"What did you do?" he asked, giving us both a look.

"Told Tyler I'm a vampire," she admitted.

Stefan sighed. "And while you're taking us somewhere you can yell at us about this, is there anyway you can give me a ride home to get Lilly from my mom who needs to get back to work?" I asked.
