The sun has just set as she stands in town square holding a candle Caroline just gave her before the blonde girl wandered away to give Elena one. She stands, looking up at the stars that are shining in the night sky with a small smile on her face as she dreams of the future, knowing she'll bring her child to things like these when they are growing. There's music playing softly as she hears a voice speak up beside her. "Hey, Lexy." No one's called her that in a while, it takes her a little by surprise as she turns and looks up only to she Matt standing with her.

"Hey, Matty." She smiles up at him softly and he looks down, lighting her candle with his already lit one. "This town has so many celebrations and town things, family things, I loved growing up here." She confess as the both move, standing side by side, looking to the sky the comet has yet to cross. Matt smiles a little hearing her say that even though never really went to any of these things growing up, most of the time, if he did go, he tagged along with the twins or Tyler because his family never went.

"It's kinda cool." He agrees with a tilt of his head making her huff out a laugh, looking over at him.

"Yeah, it is." She smiles before looking back up to the sky. She leans against his side and he speaks up softly.

"You feeling better?" Matt questions the pregnant girl, referring to early today and she tilts her head slightly, looking up at him again.

"What, After my total melt down in the library today?" She huffs out, humor in her voice before continuing. "I'm a little embarrassed but I'm okay." She admits looking at him softly and he smiles a little at that. "But thank you for being there." She tells him a little more seriously but he shakes his head.

"You should thank that new guy for calling me." Matt tells her but she isn't having it although she will be talking to Stefan about it. She looks at Matt firmly.

"Still you came when I needed you." She tells him and they way she says it he can tell it means allot that he did but honestly he's glad that her first reaction when she was getting so upset was to have him with her. Sure he was clueless, not knowing what he was meant to do, he did just what came to mind but apparently he did the right thing today.

"I guess I did." He speaks a little bit distantly and she laughs softly, shaking her head. "What?"

"You know, my new friend thinks I'm an emotional wreck who takes school way too serious." Alexis tells him a little amused, with a tilt of her head and hitch of her eyebrows as she thinks about earlier today.

Matt looks at her, teasing look in his baby blue eyes. "Aren't you?" He questions, chuckle in his voice because it does sound like her in a way. She has always taken school so seriously mostly because she's always so driven and so ambitious in every little thing she does so that's why he knows she could do anything in the the world, if only she wanted to. She looks at him, taken back but very amused look upon her face at his words before she just laughs sweetly, he doesn't know she's only like that with him.

"I am, kind of." She admits as she laughs, shaking her head and it's then he's caught by her. She's beautiful, lively, sweet and pregnant with his kid, it's perfect in a way, but then reality is quick to punch him in the face again because their situation is the furthest possible thing from perfect. They still have so much things unspoken that need to be said, so many unspoken issues needed to be solved. They both need try to fix things and hopefully they have time to because he want nothing more then to try and make this the closest thing to perfect as it can get.

He shakes his head, tearing his eyes from the girl before him as he speaks up. "So... that new guy seem like a good guy."

"Yeah, he's been great so far." She tells him as Stefan's been such a help so far and Matt nods agreeing with that, thinking the guy is good for helping him get to Alexis's quickly. "And I think he and Elena would be perfect." She adds as sort of an after thought and Matt doesn't reply to that. She shakes her head before she turns her eyes back to the sky and so does he, the comet crosses through the air, making her smile and him lean closer to her, although she is already pressed against his side. He smiles softly. After a while the moment fades and she catches sight of Stefan as Elena walks away from him, before looking back to Matt.

"I'm going to thank him again." She tells the blonde football player who nods, thinking it makes sense, almost wanting to himself.

"I'll meet you in the grill." He tells her and she goes to turn away to go but she pauses looking at her unborn child's father again.

"Do you think I should tell him?" She asks him, she's not sure, she wants to but she wants to ask Matt before she does so.

"If you want to, I mean he probably totally thinks you're 'an emotional wreck who takes school way too seriously'."

"Matt!" She scolds him in a laugh with no real heat behind it and he laughs before shaking his head.

"Go ahead, I'll catch you in the grill, I gotta talk to Ty for a bit." He tells her, smiling and she nods before she turns away. She didn't realize she was holding his hand with her spare hand until she pulls away from him. She gets over to Stefan who seems to have been waiting for her to come over as he turns to him, still holding his candle.

"Hey, Stef." She greets him, ducking her head a little as she smiles a little.

"Hey, 'Lexis." He speaks, a little distractedly but happy to see her. She looks at him, tilting her head slightly.

"So thanks again for this morning, I really appreciate it." Alexis admits and he looks at her easy, smile on his face as he quirks a brow up.

"It was friends do for each other, right?" He asks, not making it seem awkward or weird to speak about it just accept it as it is. It takes a weight of her shoulders a little and she looks a little relieved as she smiles back.

"Exactly." She agrees, nodding her head slowly and she expects him to question her further about it but he doesn't, just looks at her softly, like it's up to her. She lets out a breath of air. "So you might be wondering why I kind of exploded and needed Matt."

"I thought you said you were just an emotional person?" Stefan asks tilting his head.

"More so now." She admits a little caught and then she looks at him she's just about to to tell him but she realizes telling him doesn't seem like a scary thing.

"Yeah?" He's trying to act if he doesn't know what she's about to say, like all this is new, like he hasn't known the entire time but he has.

"I'm pregnant." She tells him and it's no longer really hard to say, she sees the look on his face of surprise but it looks a little off.

"Wow re-" Stefan starts, wide eyes, voice a little higher and it gives him away.

"Oh my god you knew!" She cuts him off with shock but also a little amusement. He's caught and he smiles looking, chuckling softly.

"Well, I didn't want to assume anything." He tells her and she shakes her head, laughing a little.

"How did you figure it out?" The pregnant girl questions. The heartbeat, he thinks, even her scent to a lesser degree. He feels so at ease, the babies heartbeat and her own beating together like one. He doesn't say that, it'd sound to strange so he looks up at her and tells her the other things he's noticed.

"You sometimes rest your hand on your stomach in class," He tells her, he's noticed that a fair bit "-you eat really clean mostly apart from when you have little lollies, you said had a doctor appointment, your thing in the library."

"From that you came to the conclusion I was pregnant?" She asks, furrowing her brow but smiling, he's been paying allot of attention. Alexis feels relieved that he's known.

"Just a feeling I had, I guess." He shrugs and she lets it go but finds what he said to be quite amusing.

"And Bonnie's meant to be the physic one." She laughs, shaking her head and although he doesn't get it he smiles to. After she stops laughing she looks up at him wondering what just happened with him and her sister."So you and Elena.."

"She just told me she's not ready."

"My sister has smiled more in the past few days then she has in the past few months. She does like you, Stefan." She tells him like it's so obvious because to her it way that Elena looks at him, the way she smiles around him, the way she sounds when she speaks about him, it's obvious her sister wants him and from the way Stefan acts is the same, he wants her to. Alexis pauses, seeing the questioning smile on his lips and she sighs, trying to find the words. "She likes you..she's just scared since things have gone wrong and changed so much lately." She admits more softly and he seems to understand that.

"Yeah." He nods.

"I should probably get to the grill now." She tells him and he takes the candle from her hand, saying he'll get rid of them so she can just head straight there. She smiles and says goodbye before heading off.

This chapter was meant to be longer but honestly I'm going through allot and have been struggling a bit through some stuff going but still trying to give writing a go. Next chapter *Spoiler* will have more Alexis being more there for Matt then the other way with the vicki stuff, it was meant to be in this chapter but didn't wok out here.

remember to Fav follow and review.
