Stefan and Roman both stopped dead in their tracks, they each looked stunned, both trying to process what they had just heard. Roman peered over to Stefan, who just stared ahead with wide eyes.

"Did...did you just hear the same words I did?".

Stefan didn't answer, he turned around and looked eyes with Bonnie, who was staring at him with tears in her eyes, he slowly made his way to her until they were standing not even an inch apart, he took a moment to look down at her stomach in almost disbelief, he then locked eyes with her again, searching for truth. Bonnie answered his unasked question with feverish nodding.

"Mmmhmm!".

Stefan broke out into a wide smile, one that Bonnie matched, they both began laughing and giggling. Stefan wrapped up Bonnie in a tight hug, spinning her around a few times. Elena watched the scene with a joyful smile, although she couldn't help but gaze over to Roman to gage his reaction, he seemed startled, it only took a moment before Elena saw him let out a long breath and hang his head ashamed, he shook his head as he turned around a walked away, dropping the bag of weapons at his side. Elena saw him head toward the beach front, stopping just in front of the waves, he stood there looking at the sunset with his hands in his pockets. Elena knew the stance, it was the stance that said he needed to be alone to think and she looked to see that Stefan and Bonnie were still enthralled with each other at the moment, so deciding to give everyone some privacy Elena turned and walked back into the house.

About an hour later Stefan, Elena and Bonnie were all gathered around the kitchen table, having decided to celebrate the news. Stefan had grabbed some wine out of the cupboard and poured some for all of them. Bonnie didn't drink it of course, he just did that for her to be able to clink glasses and say cheers, they all stopped talking however and looked over at Roman when he finally appeared at the doorway. Stefan got up, questioningly looking at his brother.

"Do you mind telling us what you were off doing?".
Roman walked forward, looking thoughtful for a second, "I was just thinking that there is something I need to do and I was trying to figure out the right way to do it, so".

Roman walked over to where Bonnie sat and got down on both knees in front of her, causing everyone around the room to give a confused look, especially Bonnie, he peered up at her from the floor apologetically.

"Bonnie...I would like to say sorry, for losing my damn mind and would like to beg for your forgiveness, he then looked from her eyes to her stomach, "Please tell her to forgive Uncle Roman?".

Roman's plea made everyone break out into a smile, Bonnie shook her head at him teasingly, "Uncle Roman better quit acting like a dork and get off his knees to give me a hug".

Roman grinned, "You got it".

Roman got to his feet, while Bonnie did the same, they embraced each other for a good minute. When Roman pulled back he looked over to Stefan and Elena.

"We'll find a way to deal with Klaus, but until then. Let's marvel over the fact that I have a niece or nephew coming along, Roman let out a laugh, "Which I have to say is completely dope by the way".

Stefan walked over with a smile putting his hand on Roman's shoulder, " Yeah it is...which reminds me, when am I got one of those from you?".

Roman's face dropped at that moment, 'you already have one Stefan, Zachariah remember?".

Stefan gave him a knowing look, "You know what I meant".

Bonnie stepped up her tone full of warning "Stefan, stop!".

Roman spoke up clearly irritated, "No it's okay Bon...um but if you'll excuse me I need to go get something from my room".

Roman then sped up the stairs. Bonnie gave Stefan a stern look.

"Really, you just had to do that".

Stefan signed, "I just thought it might be the right time to bring it up again".

Bonnie shook her head at him in anger and left the room, Stefan decided to follow, obviously trying to plead his case. Elena stood in
the kitchen alone and confused about what she had just seen. What was Stefan talking about, she was pretty sure Roman couldn't have kids anymore and she was sure Stefan knew it too, unless there was something she was missing. Elena shook herself out of her thoughts and went to make sure Roman was okay, she found him in his room sitting on his bed, but what she saw made her gasp, he looked up at her when she did.

"Roman is that what I think it is?".

Roman was sitting on his bed and in his hand was a vile of what looked like blood, a vile that Elena knew all too well. Roman's gaze went from Elena back to the vile as he answered her.

"It's the cure!".
