Change

My dreams were conflicted, that’s the only way to describe it. Stefan had one of my hands, and Angel had the other. They were pulling as hard as possible, but I felt no pain. Then suddenly, there was a flash, and my dreams changed. Stefan and Angel still held my hands, but there were no longer pulling. Instead they were holding on tightly, and looking forward.

In front of us stood a Maverick. But this wasn’t JUST a Maverick, it was Raina. In Raina’s arms, she was cradling my son. Why does she have Kier? And why isn’t Stefan or Angel going to get him? Well, I’m not going to wait any longer.

I let go of their hands and began walking towards
Kier. As I was walking, he began to grow before my eyes. By the time I reached him, he was at least 20 years old. "Kier what happened to you? Why are you with Raina?" I heard myself ask.

"Don’t you remember, Mother? You refused to get back together with dad. Eventually I couldn’t take all the fighting anymore and I ran away. Raina found me and raised me to be in her court. It’s your entire fault mom. If you would have just listened to dad, I wouldn’t be what I am today." he said with venom. Then, he turned and walked away from me.

What have I don’t?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Kier!" I woke up in a cold sweat. I hate my dreams. Is
that what is to happen to us? And what about Alexander? Where was he in my dream? I looked over to find Alexander still asleep Stefan, too, was still asleep. But they’re not who I needed to see.

I climbed out of the bed and walked to the door. I went straight for Kiers room. He was still soundly asleep in his crib. I picked him up carefully. He stirred a little, and opened his eyes sleepily. I sat right there on the floor, against the wall, not feeling like getting into the chair. I sat with Kier in my arms, and cried.

I can’t lose him. But can I really just go back to Stefan? Would I really drive Kier so crazy that he feels that he needs to leave? Will it come to that? Am I that mad at Stefan? Can I ever forgive him? Maybe.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." I said quietly, knowing whoever it was could hear me. Ethan walked in.

"Just doing my rounds. You okay, Hun?" he asked in his British accent that I love. I shook my head. He came farther in and sat cross-legged in front of me.

"Will you tell me about it?" he asked softly.

"This one was about Kier. He was with Raina. He blamed everything on me, saying "it’s all your fault, mom. If you would have just listened to dad, I wouldn’t be what I am today". Will I drive him to leave us? Will he hate me some day?" it was supposed to be a rhetorical question, but Ethan answered anyway.

"No, I don’t think he will hate you. What is there to hate? And as for the whole Stefan thing, whether you two get back together or not, I’m sure Stefan will be here for Kier. You should have seen them this afternoon, they were rolling around on the floor, laughing. He loves Kier, and I think Kier knows that Stefan is his real father. No matter what you choose, they will both stay." He reassured me.

"Thank you Ethan." I stool, with Kier, and headed for the door. I wasn’t ready to put him down yet, but I needed my sleep. I snuck back into the bed without waking anybody. Kier lay on my chest with my hand stroking his small head, and that’s how we fell asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Somehow, I woke up with my head on Stefan, but my legs on Alexander. For the first time in over a year, I didn’t dream. I could feel Kier’s soft breathing on my head. Stefan must have taken him and laid kier on top of himself. I yawned.

"So the beauty queen has finally awoken." Alexander said.

I kicked him. "What time is it?"

"Time to get up and go to school," He answered.

I grunted. After everything that has happened, I still have school to attend. That’s life though.

I stood and headed for the shower. No matter how much I scrubbed, I couldn’t seem to get the alcohol/smoke smell off of me. When I was done, I got dressed into my tight Atreyu shirt that read "Live. Love. Learn. Die." and a pair of dark navy blue jeans. Alexander was already dressed in his uniform and ready to go. Stefan was still lying on the bed with Kier. I don’t think I’m ready to leave him yet.

I went over and picked Kier up. "Hey!" Stefan protested, but I ignored him. I went to Kier’s room and laid him on the changing station. I quickly changed and dressed Kier. Then I packed his diaper bag full of toys, diapers, wipes, extra clothing, ECT. Never go unprepared.

There was a light knock at the already open door.

"Can I ask what you are doing?" Stefan asked.

"I’m taking Kier with me. I don’t want him out of my sight right now. If you want to come, you can."

"Alright, I will go get dressed." He said then left.

I paused when he came back. He was wearing my favorite outfit. A plain white beater with long black jeans over black combat boots, it just looks fantastic on him. The beater shoes off all of his tattoos, which is why I love it so much. Not to mention it emphasized his muscles. His long black hair flowed over his midnight black eyes. He had in his studs in each ear, plus his lip rind. God he was gorgeous.

Stefan grinned. "If you’re done staring at me, we should probably go or you are going to be late.

I pointed to his outfit. "That’s not fair,"

His grin got even wider. "You know what they say, all’s
fair in love and war."

"Oh whatever. Let’s just go." I picked Kier up, with the diaper bag, and walked out the door.

I buckled Kier into his car seat and got in the driver’s side. Stefan sat in the back next to KIER, AND Alexander rode shotgun. Stefan fed Kier a bottle of blood on the way, and I stopped by McDonalds and picked up 2 coffees for me and Alexander. Every now and then, I would look in my rear view mirror and see Stefan sneak a sip from Kier’s bottle. I know I should have gotten mad, but it was kind of cute, in a weird way.

When we got out of the car, I unhooked the car seat.
Stefan had grabbed the diaper bag for me, so less weight off my shoulders. As soon as Stefan came around to my side, I smacked the back of his head.

"OW! What was that for?" he protested as he rubbed at his head. I chuckled and continued walking to my first building, car seat in hand. Stefan walked beside me, and Alexander walked behind us.

It was just like the other day but worse. I could count at least 50 girls surrounding us. I’m pretty sure it was worse because Stefan was actually with us. Stefan’s eyes got at least 3 times bigger. I think he was really scared of the screaming girls. They were acting like brad pit just walked in naked. I swear Stefan’s hand twitch, just itching to grab his gun.
"ENOUGH!" I yelled. They all went silent.

"This is Stefan Vander and Kier Vander. Yes, he is our son. Now back up or you might get shot by accident." I haven’t decided if the last part was a joke or not. Neither did they, because they took a few steps back.

"Are you two dating now or something?" Miss Barbie boldly asked.

Stefan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them. He looked at me as he answered. "No." I hated that close. He sounds like he has just been stabbed in the heart. It makes me want to hug him tightly and make the pain go away. Thankfully, I still had the car seat in hand, or I just might have.

"Oh, that’s great! I’m Kara Antino." She held her hand out, and Stefan just stared at it.

"A.K.A Miss Barbie." I whispered to him.

Miss Barbie ignored me and continued. "So how did a
nice, sexy guy like you, end up with a Goth, price of trash like her?" I think she was trying to flirt, but I know for a fact that that won’t work. Not with Stefan.

Stefan’s fist clench together. I could see his veins bulging under his skin. He wasn’t looking at Kara like a little girl anymore, but like his new dinner that pissed him off. I quickly set the car seat on the ground, than out my hands on Stefan’s chest; restraining him as much as possible. He was shaking underneath my palms. Not a good sign.

"Stefan, she is not worth it. Think of Kier Stefan. You wouldn’t be able to come back, and we couldn’t come and visit you. She is just another Miss Barbie. Nor worth killing over a few worthless words." He eventually looked down at me. I pleaded him with my eyes. His shaking become less and less until it finally stopped. He slowly nodded to me, and I pulled my hands away.

Miss Barbie completely just ignored everything that just happened. I don’t think she realized how close to death she just came. She bent down towards Kier. "He is so cute! Can I hold him?" she reached for Kier.

That did it for him. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at her. She froze in fright.

"Do not touch my son with your filth. You insulted my Amante, and she stopped me form harming you. But if you ever touch my son, I will pull this tripper." He slowly slid the gun back into its proper place.

Miss Barbie slowly stood, hesitated before speaking. "W-why did you call me f-filth?"

"Because you are what people this day and age calla "slut". You’re diseased. Filth."

"I don’t u-understand w-what A-Amante means?" Could she stutter anymore?

"That’s what I used to call Anita before she ran from me. Amante is Italian for lover. That is what she is to me; my lover. And if you ever insult her again, you will shortly find out my true nature. And that’s a promise." He answered coldly, despite her obvious fear.

"Stefan, you don’t mean you would…"I trailed off suggestively.

"That’s exactly what I would do. And you know better than anybody here that I never break a promise."

"Damn it Stefan! What happened to you? You would have never thought of doing that to someone."

He looked at me with soft eyes. "When you left, when I watched that bus drive off, it drove off with my heart. That’s when I broke my promise to Annalyse, Don’t worry, I didn’t kill anyone. I just… It just changed me. My humanity is no longer what I treasure the most, you are."

I didn’t know what to say. So, holding back tears, I picked Kier up and sat down in my seat. Alexander and Stefan sat at each side of me. When I asked where the crowd had gone, Alexander told me that the gun had scared them away. Good. Stefan held Kier most of the time. He even changed his diaper. Of course, he had no clue what he was doing, so I had to redo it. But it’s the thought that counts.

None of the teachers had liked Alexander, let alone a baby in their class room. Stefan used his charm to lie to each of them. I don’t know exactly what he said -- but whatever is was, it worked.

Stefan had let only a very few people hold Kier. It helps when you can read a person’s mind and know their intentions. Alexander had stayed quiet all day. I think it’s his way of expressing his dislike for Stefan. Miss Barbie didn’t even so much as look at me all day. HA! She was scared!

Kier was quiet until it was his lunch time. Stefan fed him again, but baby formula this time. Stefan kept a hand on me at all times. Weather it was my shoulder, arm, or my leg, there was always contact. It was hard to concentrate on my not taking when his thumb would rub in circles on my knee.

Eventually, it was time to go. I hooked Kier in and got in the car. "Call the boys and have than meet us at Blair’s restaurant. Alexander, can you call Angel? Please." Without answering, they both stared dialing there phones.
