She stays in her room for a while after Matt left before she finally heads downstairs to seek out her aunt. Jenna looks like she just got back, her bag is sitting on the kitchen counter as she riffles through it. The teen walks over, arms crossed over her chest as she speaks up. "Jenna." The girl starts but Jenna cuts her off as she pulls something from her bag, looking up to her.
"I know what you're going to say, Alexis." Jenna admits, voice even and knowing but not sighs as he aunt looks up to her with a soft look on her face.
"Jenna.." She starts quietly but Jenna interrupts her softly.
"You're pregnant, aren't you?" She asks, fully knowing the answer already as it really wasn't hard to put together the pieces when she already knew about Alexis and Matt being together that night. She can still remember how heartbroken her niece was after the fact, how conflicted she felt about it, how guilty she felt and to get pregnant from that is almost heartbreaking for Jenna to think about.
The teen girl presses her lips together, nodding before she speaks up. "Yes." She admits, her voice no shaky this time as she tells the truth. The redhead sighs, letting out a sharp breath because she's responsible for this teen and now the girl is pregnant. This...child is going to be having her own child and it almost makes Jenna's head spin.
"I have made a doctors appointment for you the day after tomorrow at 1:15pm." Jenna tells her so carefully, after what Elena told her this morning about Alexis throwing up, that's when she realized the truth, after her presentation today she went straight down to the doctor to organize an appointment for Alexis and grab a few things to give to her, to inform her better. She hands the girl in front of her what she has in her hands, Alexis looks down, taking it.
"Thank you." She tells Jenna softly before she flicks through them, realizing they are all brochures and pamphlets about pregnancy, eating, exercising, choices and her about her rights. She tilts her head, eyes flicking back you to Jenna who is looking at her softly and sadness.
"You know you have a hard choice to make, right? I mean does he even know?"
"I just told Matt." She confesses, nodding her head as she meets the women's eyes. Jenna looks a bit surprised at that, that the two of them talked again after almost eleven weeks of no communication since what happened.
"How'd that go?" She asks, wondering how the boy would react to the life changing news had become a parent. Jenna doesn't know Matt to well, but she's known friends who got pregnant as teens and the fathers ran off, she hopes to hell that the boy her niece is hopelessly in love with isn't like that. Though Jenna can't help but think he might be because how he acted after they slept together.
"Pretty good, he's set on being around and he doesn't seem like he's going to runaway, he's not that kind of guy."
"Did you sort things out?" The redhead continues softly referring to everything that happened with them, asking if they have talked it out yet.
"Apart from telling him I'm pregnant? No, not really." She admits because there's still allot of pain and heartbreak between them, she may still love him but she's still hurt from how it all happened, how today is the first day back in contact since that morning after. She feels like she should have sorted out all of the emotions before mentioning the baby but she knows she needed to do that.
"You guys need to figure all that out before..." Jenna starts and Alexis nods slowly.
"I know, Jen. I know." She admits in a sigh, shaking her head but all that is for another day. Jenna, getting the feeling Alexis is feeling uneasy switching up the topic. The red head looks around before meeting the pregnant teens eyes.
"Where's Elena?" She questions.
"At Bonnie's, we're meeting at the grill soon though I don't think I'll stay out too long." Alexis explains. She doesn't really want to go out, she's done way too much today and feels drained so she knows she needs to rest so she isn't sure she'll even go out even if she were to drive down. Usually she likes to walk places, but that tires her out and makes her feet ache more now, she thinks she'll be driving more now. Her and Elena both have their own cars (both ford escapes though Elena's is a metallic blue while Alexis is a silver) that were given to them on their sixteenth though Elena hasn't driven since the accident and Alexis only drives when she needs to, she will be needed to a lot more now. Jenna just nods at her.
Hours later after dinner she gets a text from Elena as she descends down the stairs, telling her she's at the grill. Alexis sighs as she reaches the bottom of the stairs about to reply to the message, telling her sister she wont be able to make it but before she can someone knocks on the front door. She furrows her brow, holding her phone still in hand as she steps forward, further into the foyer before pulling the front door open. Her eyebrows hitch up when she sees Stefan Salvatore standing on her porch.
"Hey, what are you going here?" She asks a little perplexed as to why Stefan is here.
"I think you dropped this today." He tells her, friendly smile on his lips as he hands her a book. She takes it from his hand, furrowing her brow until she looks it over in her hands realizing it is her sisters diary. Elena must have dropped this at the cemetery today. She looks up to him with a soft expression on her face but she looks so tired, ready for the day to be over, and she dressed like she's about to go to bed. She's wearing a baggy large t-shirt and small pajama shorts.
"This is my sister's but thank you." She thanks him, giving him a tight lipped smile with a light in her eyes.
"It's no problem." He tells her, smile on his lips and heard through his voice.
"How'd you know where we lived, anyway?" She asks him, soft tone but with an underlining accusation, a little weary now but he just shrugs, tilting his head a little to the side.
"Small town, I just asked the first person I saw." He admits and she tilts her head, feeling more at ease as that sounds true for this town. She looks back down at the book in her hands and to him before holding it up.
"You should take it to her." She tells him thoughtfully, holding the book out for him to take it from her, he furrows his brow, looking confused at her action,
"What?" He questions as he slowly takes the book from her hands and she gives him an easy smile as she nods her head.
"Elena, everyone hangs out at the Mystic Grill after school and nights." She informs him with a small shrug, telling him he should go, she thinks her sister would like that. He tilts his head, thinking it over her a moment before nodding slowly.
"Okay, are you going?" Stefan asks but she shakes her head at that because truly she feels exhausted.
"No, I can't today...I have too much going on but I think Elena would like it if you did." Alexis speaks truthfully, knowing look on her face and a small smile that has him agreeing.
"I will and thank you, Alexis."
"I should be thanking you." She laughs softly, shaking her head and he gives her a polite nod before leaving, she shuts the door behind him. She texts Elena that she can't make it before calling Matt as she heads up stairs.
She rings him, phone pressed against her ear as she walks upstairs and he answers almost straight away. "Hey Lexis, you okay?" Is the first words past his lips as when he answers the call. She smiles softly at the sound of his voice, letting out a breath of air as she nods.
"Yeah, I'm okay, you just told me to call you about the appointment." She tells him, voice soft as she stops in her open doorway to her room, leaning against the frame as she talks to him.
"Yeah, when is it?" He asks her sounding a little busy at the moment but nervously excited for the appointment. Truth be told Alexis is very nervous, she has allot of questions for her doctor but she's excited to make sure her baby is okay. She presses her lips together, crossing her arms over her chest.
"It's the day after tomorrow at 1:15." She tells him and he's quite for a moment thinking it over.
"Okay, so half day at school then we'll go?" He suggests to her and she agrees to that while he can hear the tiredness in her voice. He tells her goodnight and she smiles softly as she tells him that before hanging up the phone and crawling into her bed for an early night.
Sorry this chapter is a bit short I was going to have it longer with her going to the Mystic grill but thought it'd be better for her if she didn't. Hope you enjoyed reading! Please let me know what you think and honestly I'm horrible at making decisions in stories and usually need someone to bounce ideas off so if anyone wants to let me bounce idea off them please let me know asap! :) TIA (1 chapter left of this episode again sorry for stretching it out but i had to and she'll be eleven weeks then!)
