She feels weak, drained, in pain as tears streak down her face and she's breathing heavy. Alexis staggered out of her room a few minutes ago into the bathroom, throwing up last nights food, now she on the ground with her arms hugging the toilet seat. She's all too pale, her throat feels as if it's burning, her eyes are wet and mornings like this take an emotional toll on her. She's catching her breath but another wave of harsh nausea hits her forcing her to hunch forward more and cough up the rest of what is left in her stomach until nothing left and she's just coughing.

She flushes the toilet pulling back and just lying on the ground. She's a mess, she feels insanely warm although she's wearing little clothes and its lying on cold tiles, she's crying, her head pounding. She's groaning, she hates this so much, she can't wait until one day the morning sickness just stops and doesn't come back. Feeling this way is just unfair and any people she's asked about their morning sickness never had it really bad like she has. Sometimes she'll be fine, some days she's the furthest thing from fine, it comes in waves and she can't predict it. She hopes to god the doctor tells her it because she's eating something wrong, at the wrong time or something she could easily change and there's nothing seriously wrong.

The bathroom door is open and her brother is standing in the door way, having been forced awake from the pained noises coming from his sister that drilled panic into him and a need to check what was wrong. He's frozen in the doorway as he sees his sister lying on the cold tile ground looking like she does. He snaps out of it, rushing to her side in an instant as panic sets in for her.

"Did you take something? Ally! What did you take?!" He shouts, his voice urgent as he grabs her face, turning it slight and looking her over. She opens her eyes weakly and groans, pulling away from the touch as he checks her eyes to see if she's high, she's so tired but she's feels to awful to sleep.

"Jer..." She tries to speak but she needs quite. She shakes her head trying to push herself up, archiving sitting up with Jeremy's help, his hands on her. His eyes widen as he looks at her, realization dawning on his face.

"You're sick..what is it? How bad? Ally?" He's worried for her, remembering how Elena said she was really sick the other morning and seeing her like this..especially after seeing Vicki bleeding to death last night...makes him think the worst and he can't lose her, not after everything that's happened. She looks up at him throw the hair that's fallen to cover her face and she reaches a hand up, pushing her hair our of her face mindlessly.

"Morning sickness." She tells him, voice broken no strong or firmness like she's had with others, her voice is just weak and tired. He's hands are on her upper arm but one falls as he looks confused.

"I though only for pregnant women had that." He speaks confused but she just presses her lips together looking at him, nodding slightly. "Wait..You're...

"Yeah."

"Seriously, Ally? What the he-" He's more confused then anything, his sister was the golden child of the family but she's also so down to earth he never would have thought but as he thinks back it's out of character for her but it makes sense.

"Please don't..not now." She pleads with him quietly, hands coming up to hide her face and Jeremy is just shocked. He doesn't say anything just nods. He gets her a drink of cold water, getting her to lay in the cold bathtub as he notices how warm she is and wiping her face clean with a damp face cloth like she's done for him so many times before, finding him drunk or high in a bad way and taking care of him until he's back to himself. Alexis has always been motherly to those she loves, he thinks she'll be a great mother in the end. She rambles on quietly just telling him everything as he stays by her.

His sister is pregnant because he dragged her to some party, she didn't even really want to go to, in the wood a few months ago. He almost feels guilty, only a tinge of guilt, but doesn't feel much guilt because he wasn't the one that convinced her to hookup with Matt without protection. He kind of wants to gives her condoms for a present now because he can't get over how stupid it is not using one but maybe he only thinks that 'cause she got knocked up and he did not get a girl knocked up the one time he didn't use one.

He hates that Alexis is in a situation like this, she was always the hardest worker he's ever met, she deserved more then to get knocked up at seventeen but he supposes when has life ever been fair to them.

He's angry with Matt the most, he's going to have to confront him, maybe even punch him but the anger lessens a little as she tells him about how Matt got a job and is being supportive. He can hear both the worry and excitement as she tells him about the doctors appointment later today. He doesn't talk much back, he's there for her though even if he doesn't exactly like her situation.

"You feeling better, now?" It's been probably an hour they've been here and she nods slowly. He's sitting lounge next to the bathtub while she's in it.

"Yeah." She's been feeling better for a while now but the both of them kind of needed to stay so he could hear her out, she should have really said all that with Elena here as well but right now she's proud of herself and she knows she isn't scared to tell people close to her anymore. She pushes herself up and grabs his offered hand as he helps her stand up slowly and step out of the white tub.

"It makes sense." He speaks thoughtfully, tilting his head to the side as he lets go of her and she looks at him in confusion.

"Really?" She asks, furrowing her brow and he looks at her.

"I mean you have been gaining som-" He starts, lips curling into a smile, teasing his sister trying to lighten the mood. Her eyes widen, she looks allot better now, she hits her brother on the arm as she cuts him of.

"Jeremy! Finish that sentence I dare you." She warns him with no real heat behind it and he can't help but to laugh. And like that things between them are normal again. She ends up having a shower then going down and having something to eat with Jeremy in the kitchen. She makes herself eat it, Jeremy not bothering going back to bed as they would have have to wake up in an hour anyway but Alexis climbs into bed hoping to catch more sleep before the day ahead.

She manages to get another hour of sleep before being woken by the sound of Elena's alarm clock. She groans while Elena slams the alarm off, staggering out of bed to have a shower and Alexis is thankful she doesn't feel even a hint of nausea when she gets up. She trudges over to her wardrobe throwing on the first nice outfit she sees without thinking twice about it.

She strolls out of her room only to see Jenna walking up to her in the hall, the redhead coming over to check on her. "Hey, how are you feeling?" Jenna asks softly as she stops in front of her and the pregnant teen nods slowly, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Good at the moment.." Alexis admits and she does look better but the way she says it knows it change change any moment. Jenna presses her lips together, sympathy in her eyes but Alexis shakes her head. "Elena and Jeremy know now." She tells her causally, only sort of changing the topic.

"You told them?" She questions, having thought the girl would wait until after her doctor appointment to break the new but clearly she hasn't. Alexis tilts her head slightly in thought as she explains.

"Kind of Exploded last night after..and told Elena."

"And Jeremy?"

"My morning sickness was really bad last night/this morning and he woke up because he could hear me. He helped me through it, I told him and he still helped me." She confesses and she wasn't really worried about Jeremy's reaction but to know her brother, who she is so close with, was there even though she can tell he doesn't agree with it he's still there. Jenna smiles softly, tight lipped, as she looks at her niece before asking her a question.

"Do you need me to drive you to the appointment?" The red head questions softly and Alexis shakes her head softly. She feels excited for the doctors appointment soon but it's also kind of scaring. Hopefully with Matt there it'll be okay.

"No, Matt's taking me." She informs her aunt who nods slowly, looking a little surprised.

"If you need me, 'Lexis, I'm a call away...I'll try to be anyway."Jenna tells her carefully and Alexis smiles softly.

"Thank you." She breaths out, knowing that she is lucky, lucky she has all these people in her life supporting her when one of her biggest fears was no one at all. She was so wrong about that.

"Don't." Jenna remarks softly but there's something in her eyes saying Jenna's trying to help make a bad situation good and she's not sure how it'll end. Alexis frowns a little at that before heading down stairs to hang in the lounge before her and Elena head off for school.

Third period just ended and she's leaving in about fifteen mintues with Matt for her appointment. She's walking with Stefan by her side, they just had class together and he helped her with getting notes down as he could tell her mind was else where. The notes didn't really matter as she already knew most of the stuff because she usually studies her arse off but she didn't even hear what they were talking about today so she was thankful for it.

Stefan looks to her as they stand in the hall while she grabs her bag from her locker. "What?" She asks noticing him staring. He looks away then back tilting his head and giving her a concerned look.

"Nothing..it's just you look..Are you okay? You seem nervous." He tells her and she looks down with a sigh before meeting his eyes again.

"It's just...I have a doctors appointment." She admits to her newest friend being a little vague about it, not knowing that he already knows as he can hear the steady heartbeat of her child inside of her, it's kind of a peaceful sound to him. He looks at her gently, tilting his head.

"Is everything okay?" He questions knowing she's a little distracted right now and hopefully that doesn't mean something is wrong. She presses her lips together and smiles.

"I hope so." She admits, with such a soft voice and he really hopes that it is.

"I hope so as well." He tells her truthfully as he is already started to care for the child he can only hear the beating heart of, it reminds him of how human it is. How human she is, how alive she is he admires that and being around something like that, especially when you're dead and trying to cling to humanity, it makes him feel more human...more alive.

"I have to go but I'll see you around, Stef." She tells him, nodding her head at him politely with such a sweet smile on her lips.

"Bye, Alexis." He tells her and she pats him on the side of the arm fondly as she past him as she leaves.

She catches up with Matt rather quick as she walks outside by his side and since they have a little bit of time before they need to leave she asks him softly about Vicki. "They're keeping her overnight to make sure there's no infection, but she should be able to come home tomorrow." Matt nods as the sun hit his skin as they two stand close to the bleachers. Alexis presses her lips together as she nods.

"That's good news." She tells him gently as she reaches up brushing some of her hair out of her face.

"Yeah it is." He breaths out quietly and she looks up to him thoughtfully.

"We could visit her after the appointment, I don't mind." The pregnant teen offers, seeing the distant look on his face as he thinks about his sister but the mention of the appointment has him looking more easy which almost confuses her. He looks at her, his eyes meeting her own as he presses his lips into a small tight lipped smile.

"Thanks." He tells her and she just smiles in a way that tells him he doesn't need to say it but before the conversation can progress Alexis catches sight of her twin sister coming over to them. Matt catches sight of Elena as well when Alexis turns to face her sister.

"Hey, Lena." She greets her twin who gives them a smile.

"Hey, 'Lexis, Matt..." She greets them back, looking between them before her eyes settle on the pregnant girl. "How are you?" She questions, concerned for her pregnant sister and the girl just nods. Suddenly Alexis realizes that Matt doesn't know Elena or Jeremy know yet, she'll have to correct that very soon.

"Good."

"How about Vicki?" Elena asks looking to the blond hoping that she is okay as she can still remember seeing the her blood drenched hands. Matt lets out a sharp breath as he crosses his arms over his chest.

"She's okay, she should be coming home tomorrow." He informs his ex slowly.

"Did you get in touch with your mom?" She asks knowing how hard it can be for him to even get in touch with her, probably hears from her once every few months now. Matt just sighs and she knows it didn't go well.

"Called and left a message. She's in Virginia Beach with her boyfriend, so...we'll see how long it takes her to come rushing home to a drug attic daughter and soon to be teen dad for a son." He huffs out a little harsher than needed but his words are very telling. Matt's never been exactly lucky when it came to the draw of family, a dad that's never been in the picture, something he swears he won't be, a mother who hardly cares about her children and a drug attic sister that doesn't know when to stop but somehow he was pulling through okay, just because he has a baby on the way doesn't make it bad, it only sounds bad but he's willing to do whatever it takes though he does have those thoughts in the back of his head because in truth he really is terrified.

She looks at him pressing her lips together and Elena decides to not say anything, letting her sister speak up as she can see Matt didn't even notice his slip up at saying he was going to be a dad. "You okay, Matty?" She asks softly, knowing he must be uneasy, more than usually when it comes to speaking about his mother. He looks up to he, stance and face soften as he looks at her.

"Mom's just..." He sighs, shaking his head.

"You told her about Alexis being pregnant?" Elena inquires, not knowing that Matt didn't know about her knowing yet. Matt's eyes widen slightly, totally caught off guard, realizing his words and looking straight to Alexis, thinking he just spilled the beans but the girl nods slightly as she goes to speak.

"She already knew...so does Jer." She tells him and he nods slowly before his eyes trail back to Elena suddenly feeling very awkward at this situation.

"No, I haven't told her.." He confesses to both of the sisters and Elena sighs looking up to him.

"I just want you guys to be happy." She tells him and now it's Alexis who is feeling out of place and uncomfortable.

"And what about you and that new-?" He counters and Alexis does not feel like dealing with this right now so she speaks back, putting her hands up in mock surrender.

"Well I have to actuality pick up some work from but I'll meet you at your car."

"Okay."

"I hope everything goes well at the appointment." Elena tells her before Alexis turns on her heal and leaves.

She heads out to wait for Matt at his car in the parking lot of the school, she's leaning back agaisnt his car as she texts Caroline that she's leaving now. Caroline's messaging her, asking if she could come to the next visit with them and that made Alexis laugh sweetly, telling her that they'll see. It's only a few moments she waits until he's there.

"Hey, Alexis.." A familiar voice calls causing her to look up to see the father of her unborn baby jogging up to her. She flips her phone shut as he comes to a stop in front of her.

"Hey, Matty." She smiles at him as she puts her phone in her bag as he unlocks the car with a press of the bottom on his keys.

He pulls the passenger side door open, holding it open for her as she climbs into the seat, sitting her bag at her feet. She can't help the momentary thought that they should be taking her car instead as it's safer and larger but they thought leaves her head quick as she shakes it off, chalking it up to over protective mama bear instincts.

She pulls the door shut and he walks around the car to climb into the drivers seat. After he does his car belt up and before he even starts the car he stops and looks at her. "You doing okay?" He asks thinking it had something to do with Elena but she's choosing to not think about that.

"Yeah, but... I have allot of question for the doctor and don't really know what to expect." She tells him but her voice is more casual then worried so that's something.

"It's going normal and it's going to be fine, okay?" He knows how to reassure people, he always has been and is, most because of having to clam his sister or rarely his mother when she's around but he is very naturally caring and strong for those he loves. She looks at him, arching an eyebrow and tilting her head.

"How much do you know about these appointments?" She questions, small smile on her lips in bemusement. He looks down and back up at her as a huge smile spreads on his face at the answer.

"Just from what I saw on 'Friends' reruns." He admits, soft laughter in his voice. She looks away as a huge grin splits out on her face and she laughs, it's beautiful sound as he starts the car.
