WHO: Stefan and Katherine WHEN: Sunday night WHERE: The Ice Room WHAT: Stefan wants to make sure Katherine's okay RATING: TBD STATUS: Incomplete
Stefan sat at a table, two glasses of whiskey in front of him; one for each of them. He'd chosen a quieter corner, away from the dance floor. The Ice Room was always quieter than usual on a Sunday night, but he didn't really want fans bothering them right now. He knew Katherine must be finding this hard, but he'd promised her he was going to help her with her emotions and that meant dealing with this. He was beginning to understand what it would feel like to have a child taken away, now he was faced with all the worry over Elena and their unborn daughter. He wouldn't wish that sort of pain on anyone. Part of him was even coming to understand why Katherine had become as hard hearted as she had been. She had had to.
Stefan kept his eyes on the door, waiting to wave Katherine over when he saw her. He hadn't really seen much of her since the wishes, except that coffee and the times she'd helped him feed. He would have liked to see more of her, if only to show he was there for her, but he couldn't help feeling that his mere presence made things harder for her. Still, if there was ever a time to see her, this was it. Besides, he'd like to be able to talk to her about all of this. Of all the people he knew, she was the only one who had ever been a parent.
