BLOODY ROSES [3]

13

Waking up to Caroline desiccating and needing an emergency C-section had to be one of the scariest things Roman had woken up to.
"Perhaps this isn't the best time to mention they ran out of cream?"
Valerie gave a bashful smile to the twins as she handed them each a coffee.
Roman's hands shook as he grabbed it, the warmth burning his hand through the paper cup.
"Sorry."
Roman heard his twin mutter to the heretic.
"Don't be. You have every right to be upset. What did you tell them?"
Valarie asked glancing between the twins.
"I compelled the doctors to ignore all things medicine couldn't explain."
Roman told the girl setting his coffee down nearby.
"Good. I compelled a doctor to shut down this entire wing, so it's just us. Didn't want a vampire C-section to draw too much attention."
Valerie gave a weak laugh as a smile pulled at Roman's lips.
"Has she regained consciousness?"
"No actually, speaking of that I'm going to call the dad."
Roman sighed striding down the hall, a good distance away from the supernatural hearing.
"Hey, Caroline doesn't have much time."
Roman sighed into the phone pulling at his curls.
"I'm on my way to the airport I should be there in a few hours."
"Sweetheart you don't have a few hours."
Roman sighed sadly.
"Just do what you have to. And promise me you have the best doctors in Virginia?"
Alaric asked worriedly.
"Ric,"
Roman scoffed.
"It's me? Do you think I'd get anything less for Care?"
Roman heard a small chuckle from over the phone.
"Hurry back."
Roman closed his phone walking back to his twin's side.

Meet us as Whitmore to get your psycho boyfriend!- Damon.

Roman sighed glancing at his phone.
"Stefan I have to-"
"Go."
Stefan nodded with a small smile making Roman sigh in relief.
"Thanks brother."

"What the hell are we doing?"
Roman asked as he stomped up to Damon and Bonnie.
The youngest Salvatore jerked back seeing the sword in Damon's hand.
"It's not what you think! We aren't trying to murder your fiancé."
Bonnie gave a small smile to the vampire.
"Fiancé?"
Damon's eyes widened as Roman sighed sending a pointed look to Bonnie.
"Let's just go."
Roman sighed bursting into Alaric's classroom.
"Got your sword."
Damon told Enzo, the man sitting in the back of the room.
"This is the part where you say thank you."
Damon grinned sarcastically.
Suddenly the lights flicked on and Roman jumped at the woman he saw.
"Rayna Cruz."
"Thank you."
The brunette smirked standing behind Enzo who was tied up.
"Lorenzo,"
Roman whispered, the English man shook his head letting the boy know he was fine.
"Roman, Enzo? Remember Thanksgiving of '53? We were all locked in neighboring cells, and I told Enzo I was thankful for him through that little hole in the wall? I take that back."
Damon clenched his fists as Roman rolled his eyes.
"Like I had a choice."
Enzo scoffed, his eyes on his lover.
"I'm sorry you are?"
Bonnie asked the brunette who stood behind Enzo.
"You don't recognize me?"
Rayna faked a frown.
"Surprising since I've seen every Hunger Games."
Bonnie pursed her lips.
"Damon, Bonnie, meet Rayna Cruz who Roman is already familiar with."
Enzo grinned sarcastically at the trio.
"Not bad for an eighty year old corpse."
Damon grimaced.
"You were old and sick and dead."
Bonnie shook her head.
"May I have my sword please?"
Rayna asked annoyed.
Damon looked to Roman, the boy usually having all the answers.
Roman swallowed hard giving a slight nod to the window.
"You want it? Go fetch."
Damon threw the sword out the window.
As Rayan hurried after her sword Roman hurried to Enzo untying him.
"Guys Caroline is having the babies, we have to go."
Bonnie urgently told them.
Roman sighed planting a long kiss on Enzo's lips leaving the two breathless.
"I'll be back."

❁

"What the hell is going on here?"
In the panic to find a way around Rayna and protect Caroline, Roman had failed to notice Alaric's presence.
"It's fine sweetheart."
Roman focused his attention back on Bonnie and Stefan.
"Stefan can't leave her."
Roman shook his head desperately.
"Stefan you have to go. We can take it from here."
Bonnie insisted to the twin.
Stefan placed a hand on his brother's shoulder giving a short nod.
Roman sighed hugging his twin tight.
"If you die I'll kill you."
Stefan gave a tight grimace before speeding off.
"I-"
"Roman-"
Bonnie already knew what the boy was thinking.
"I have to go."
The boy shook his head as he made his way out of the hospital ignoring the witches, and the professors calls.
The boy quickly spotted a car hopping in as he
hot-wired it.
Roman started the car, speeding off to catch up with Stefan.
He shakily took out his phone as he pressed it to his ear.
"Hello?"
The British accent rang in Roman's ears and he couldn't help but grin.
"You think you could give me a moment of your time if I make an appearance in the French Quarter?"
