This is the family relationship between the former-Enhanced Original Vampire-turned-human, Alaric Saltzman, the vampire Caroline Forbes, and the siphoners Josie Saltzman and Lizzie Saltzman.
They became a family when it was discovered Caroline was pregnant, as a surrogate mother, to Alaric and his deceased fiancée's (Jo Laughlin) twin daughters. Caroline decided to keep the babies and gave birth to them in This Woman's Work. Caroline then decides to help Alaric raise the babies after he tells her that he plans on taking them out of Mystic Falls. Caroline and Alaric become engaged throughout the three years of helping each other raise the children, which strengthened their family bond as the twins grew older. Alaric and Caroline continue to raise the twins although their engagement fell through.
