When she wakes she feels well rested and good, she's still adjusting to having her own room and it helped not sleeping alone last night but she has this pit in her stomach that has her sitting up on the bed. She had been curled, fetal position, on top of the sheets on her brother's bed. Something is wrong she thinks, but not with her as she feels fine something's just telling her so, as she looks around to see if Jeremy is okay and he appears to be sleeping on the same cushioned oval chair he was in last night. She feels a sharp stab of worry for him, thinking her instincts that something was wrong were going off because. She's slowly pushing herself up before she hurries, over there in an instant needing to check if he's still breathing.

"Jeremy? Jer?" Alexis questions, worry dipping into her tone but she's thankful to see that bottle that was next to him last night is still unopened as she stands in front of him, leaning down, grabbing his shoulder.

"Mmmm, what?" He groans out slowly, shifting in the chair and instead of opening his eyes he closes them tighter. She lets out a relieved breath as she pulls back to stand, shaking her head.

"Nothing…" She dismisses it. "Want me to get you breakfast?" She suggests, making up for waking him if he cannot get back to sleep or just because she's hungry too. Jeremy just groans at her, shifting on the chair, just wanting to sleep.

"Sleep." He mumbles, shaking his head and she smiles before looking to his bed then back to him.

"Then get to your bed, you'll be all sore if you stay in that chair." She tells him softly before she starts to walk out of the room. As she reaches the door, he makes no sign on moving to the bed so she stops and looks back to him.

"Jeremy." She scolds him softly in a knowing tone.

"Fine." He huffs out half asleep and she leaves the room as he pushes himself up to flop onto the bed. She heads straight to her room, getting some clothes out of her closet before placing Matt's jacket on her bed. Alexis pauses in her movements, setting the fresh clothes neatly in a stack as she realizes she really needs to go maternity shopping. She purses her lips deciding that is something she should do today. She smiles as she pulls out her phone and calls Caroline. Caroline brightens at the news, so excited that Alexis has called her to go shopping and Caroline promises she'll be over in an hour.

Alexis grabs her clothes back up and heads to go have a shower. She really should have had one last night and had changed into pajamas instead of just falling straight asleep but she remedies that as she climbs into a warm shower. When she gets out of the shower she still has that feeling that something is wrong so she decides it's best to check on her twin sister. She walks down the hall to Elena's room and softly opens the door. Elena's sleeping, it looks like she's been tossing and turning from how messy her hair looks and from how her blankets are kicked away. Alexis decides she'll let her sister get her sleep so she closes the door softly and heads downstairs.

She catches Jenna in the dining room and her aunt is quick to ask about the appointment that toke place the day before yesterday, also mentioning the Logan thing. Alexis smiled as Jenna poured her some cereal and told her that everything's going well, the baby is perfectly healthy. Moments like these Alexis loves talking to her ant, being this close to her. Jenna inquires about the gender but Alexis just shook her head before telling her about the night that followed, when she stayed at Matt's. Jenna feels proud of the girl before her, confronting her issues with Matt, something Alexis had been putting off. Alexis told her how they talked about everything. The teen finally stood up and talked about the summer, about Elena, about that night, about the events after, maybe she left out a detail or two but it was good, brave, and for the best. The auburn haired women pulls her niece, a mother to be, into her arms. The girl is growing up and Jenna she can see the women she's becoming.

The two pull apart when the doorbell rings. "That's Caroline." She tells her aunt before pulling away and walking off. She embraces Caroline straight away who seems to be bouncing with excitement. Jenna greets the blond before she heads back to her room to finish yet another thesis paper.

"Sorry I went totally MIA yesterday..." Caroline apologizes, shaking her head as the girls stand in the dinning room with Alexis leaning against the back of a pushed in chair. Alexis tilts her head and shrugs.

"It's okay but did something happen?" She can't help but ask as that feeling that somethings off still lingers. The blue eyes girl sighs, slumping slightly as she looks at her best friend, trying to find the right words to say.

"Look, Alexis, I'm fine...Just needed a break." Caroline plays it off, thankful that Alexis seems to buy it, not pushing it in that way she does, as she smiles understandingly.

"I know what you mean." Alexis tells her, soft tone and Caroline can't help but smile back at her friend. It's almost amusing the moment later when Caroline eyes widen in realization and excitement as she puts the pieces together.

"Maternity shopping...Baby...Oh my god, your baby appointment!" Like that Caroline is back to herself, mentally kicking herself for not remembering earlier about it.

"Yeah, day before last." Alexis confirms, smile on her lips as she nods softly. She looks happy.

"How's it go? Did you find out the gender? Everything good? Are you-"

"It went really good and yes we did." The pregnant girl admits to her friend and Caroline looks at her, expecting her too say more. After a moment the blonde realizes the brunette is going to say anything so she lets out a huff.

"So...What is it!?"

"It's a secret." Alexis shrugs but she have a smile on her face, almost teasing tone, having a little too much fun with it and the look on Caroline's face proves it . She can see it's already killing Caroline to not know but her and Matt just want it to be something between them, even just for a little while. They've decided they want to tell people together since they didn't when it was the announcement of the pregnancy. It's complicated, they don't want to make it into a big deal though but it's kind of what they are doing. The looks on Caroline's face changes and Alexis can practically see the gears turning.

"Gender revel party!" Caroline suddenly announces, eyes going wide with excitement as she beams, taking some control into finding out the gender into her own hands. Alexis starts shaking her head straight away.

"No, Caroline, No." She is quick to dismiss the idea.

"Why not? You want one, you told me." The blonde accuses her, looking confused and at the brunette with wide eyes. Alexis lets out a huff shaking her head.

"Like last year, back when I thought I'd have my first kid when I was probably in my late twenties, where I'm married and stable in life. Not like this. I'm seventeen and having a baby, Care..." She tries to explain because do they really want to celebrate this, she does but it also feels weird to. The judgement, some from other and some (mostly) from her own thoughts, might be getting to her and Caroline can see that so the blonde is quick to speak up.

"That's so stupid, Lex." Caroline deadpans in such an offended tone and Alexis gives her a sharp look as she crosses her arms over her chest that Caroline just huffs at. "Who cares! You can't let judgement stand in your way, plus it'd be fun and you could really use one." Caroline argues, shaking her head as if Alexis is crazy.

"Caroline-"

"Next thing you'll say no to a baby shower." Caroline huffs, crossing her arms and Alexis gives her another look. "Fine, I'll just wait for till the girls are with us and then bring it up again." The blonde scoffs in a knowing way. Although a little annoyed Alexis knows her friends has her best intentions at heart so she has to smile. She tells Caroline that they should probably leave soon so they head out only to stop when Elena passes by them in the foyer and Alexis is quick to stop her sister, catching her by the wrist.

"Are you okay?" She asks as her sister whips around to look at her. Elena looks withdrawn, upset like she's been crying and lost. She has the same look Jeremy has, like he did last night but the look Elena has is worse. She isn't high though, somethings happened, something's changed and it frightens Alexis because it appears like Elena has been torn at the seems.

"Just don't." Elena tells Alexis in a soft but firm huff and hurt flickers over the younger twins face. Elena looks at her sister, almost regretfully, she only want to do best for her and her not knowing is the best thing. She softly pulls her arm back before walking off to the kitchen, not looking back to her.

"What's wrong with her?" Caroline questions, arching a brow from beside her and another voice speaks up.

"What was that about?" Jenna asks as she comes over, looking where she had just passed the older twin but the younger has no answers.

"I have no idea." Alexis frowns, feeling extremely worried for her sister.
