She's waiting for Caroline who's running a little late, as explained in a text she'd be only a few more minutes. She has two drinks, one for her and the other for Caroline, and food in front of her, having ordered carefully as she is now currently sitting at one of the tables outside of the grill. She's eating, actually having an appetite and she's half way through the meal when she sees the blonde walking over.
Alexis is quick to push herself up and is quickly enveloped in a hug. She smiles as she hugs her best friend tightly before she pulls back. The blonde is about to say something but Alexis cuts her off. "Before you say anything I need to show you something."
"Okay, what is it?" Caroline asks curious look on her face as they both move to sit down. Alexis reaches into her bag pulling out the photo and extending her hand over the table, offering it to her friend, smile on her lips. Caroline furrows her brow for a moment as she takes the picture in her hand looking at it with total and complete awe as she realizes what it is. Her mouth is hanging open a little, quirking slightly into a smile. "You're really having a baby..." Caroline more so squeaks out than breathes out as she looks at the picture feeling warmth and like this is now so much more real.
"It's totally crazy." Alexis agrees with a proud and happy look on her face. She feels so giddy and Caroline feels it to, huge grin on her face with her eyes lit up so bright that shows it. Caroline shakes her head looking at the picture for quite a while before looking up to the brunette.
"Do you know if it's a girl yet? Or a boy?" She questions eagerly, kind of hoping it's a little girl but Alexis shakes her head, taking back the picture when Caroline hands it back.
"Not yet, it's too early but the doctor said maybe next appointment I'll find out." Alexis explains but she's kind of thankful the appointment is a month away as she is totally not ready to know that yet.
"Awe, so how'd the appointment go?" Caroline asks her, leaning forward, listening intently wanting to hear everything that happened.
"Good, everything is good." She is first to assure the other girl as she sits back down. Caroline looks so relieved at that it's like she is the one having the baby but Alexis finds that sweet.
"That's good, so you went with Matt? Everything with him is good?" Caroline questions carefully but she's smiling and Alexis nods, fond look on her face.
"Yeah, he's actually been really good better than I thought, Care." She confesses, "He even got job here, at the grill." She adds on and Caroline can see that it was his way of proving to her that he wasn't going to leave
"Thank god." Caroline breaths, she is so thankfully that this isn't all a disaster right now because that would be horrible and she doesn't think if Matt had walked away, if Elena hated her, If her family throw her out, if everything went bad, that, as strong as she is, Alexis could survive that. Caroline was ready for if things to go bad, ready to convince her mom to let Alexis move in, ready to help, ready to do anything for her friend because she knows if it was her that got knocked up Alexis would do the same.
"Does Elena know?" She has to ask as she thinks about it.
"Yeah, she was really nice makes me feel kind of stupid for thinking she'd be so angry." Alexis admits a little softer because she was wrong for thinking Elena would freak out completely and hate her.
"Who else knows?" The blonde questions.
"Matt, Jenna, Jeremy, Tyler, Maybe Vicki." She informs the blonde and with that they dive into a conversation about the appointment as well as how the people how know found out and their 's a while later when Matt arrives, Alexis pushes herself up to greet him. He hugs her, pulling back after a moment while Caroline smiles and waves at him knowingly. He furrows his brow but still greets her with a smile, laughing slightly as Alexis pulls his keys from her gives Matt back the keys to his car and Caroline watches the two fondly as he starts asking how Alexis is, if she ate, if she's feeling okay, all sorts of concerned questions though asking with a fond, only slightly worried, look on his face.
"Matt, I'm okay." She assures him finding it sweet, and grabbing his lower arms in a reassuring way. he nods slightly so she uses the chance to ask about Vicki. "So, how was Vicki?" She questions.
"She's good, better." He tells her before continuing. "My shift is about to start." He sighs.
"Okay then." She nods and he says goodbye to her then to Caroline before heading in.
"You guys are so cute.." Caroline tells her, fully meaning it but she sort of trails off as if she's distracted. Alexis frowns slightly, knowing something is on her friends mind.
"What's wrong?" She asks Caroline, knowingly and the blue eyed girl caves.
"What's going on with the new guy?" The blonde girls eyes carefully making the soon-to-be teen mom furrow her brow and tilt her head.
"Stefan? He's a good guy, he's been a great friend and totally hitting it off with Elena."
"Oh, Okay." She sounds disappointed but Alexis can't press for more as her sister and Bonnie arrive at the grill and come over to sit with them. The group of four girls start talking about random topics before Alexis hands Elena the ultrasound. Elena is smiling so brightly as she looks at the ultrasound, fondness in her eyes even though she is worried for her sister. Bonnie furrows her brow, wondering what Elena is gushing over and takes the photograph from her hand.
"Why do you have an ultrasound?" The girl questions the pregnant teen who admits the truth. Bonnie has a look of total disbelief on her face as she learns that Alexis is pregnant as this is probably the last thing she'd ever expect.
"What?!" Bonnie questions looking between all the other girls with wide eyes, not even being able to understand how this could happen since Alexis was always very disinterested in relationships and guys. "Who's even the father?" She questions like it's ridiculous.
"Matt." Alexis admits and Bonnie leans back in her chair, as she lets out a sharp breath.
"Wait...I'm so confused." Bonnie breaths out. "So you and Matt hooked up? When?" Bonnie asks her.
"Almost three months ago." She confesses.
"Are you guys dating now?" That question has Alexis just freezing because the answer hurts but her and Matt haven't even talked about things like that. She doesn't answer and Caroline looks at her, taking that as her moment to step in for her friend.
"No, they're not.." Caroline chimes in after Alexis doesn't answer for a moment.
"It's complicated." Elena also chips in, as it's obvious Alexis finds that question to hard to really answer, although they technically aren't. Bonnie tilts her head, leaning back in her chair looking at the picture and Alexis feels a little uneasy but it eases with Bonnie's next words.
"It is kinda cute though." Bonnie caves, smile forming on her lips as she hands the picture back to Alexis who smiles softly at her. Alexis than asks if they can change the topic of conversations and Caroline being Caroline always has something to talk about. Eventually the conversation starts to alternate between tomorrows comet celebration and what that Apparently Stefan and Elena where together at the house last night.
"Well, I was talking to Grams, and she said the comet is a sign of impending doom. The last time it passed over Mystic Falls, there was lots of death. So much blood and carnage, it created a bed of paranormal activity." Bonnie speaks thoughtfully and the though of her being physic intrigues and amuses Alexis but kind of scares her as she mentions the death. Caroline lets out a loud huff looking to the mocha skinned girl.
"Yeah, and then you poured Grams another shot and she told you about the aliens." The blue eyed cheerleader huffs out, not believing a word before turning her eyes back to Elena. "So then what?" She asks referring back to Stefan.
"So then nothing." Elena deadpans.
"You and Stefan talked all night? There was no sloppy first kiss or touchy feely of any kind?" She asks like it's completely foreign to her.
"Nope. We didn't go there."
"Not even a handshake? I mean, Elena, we are your friends. Okay? You are supposed to share the smut." Caroline explains also looking to Alexis, something the other girls don't notice, as she says it making Bonnie roll her eyes and the two girls huff.
"We just talked for hours." Elena sighs as she doesn't like this interrogation.
"Okay, what is with the blockage? Just jump his bones already! Okay, it's easy. Boy likes girl, girl likes boy, sex!" She states like it's obvious and that makes Alexis eyes widen, looking at her friend like she just bumped her head.
"And that's literally how I got pregnant." Alexis speaks up, like it was completely obvious with one hand resting on her very small bump.
"Profound." Elena huffs out before getting to her feet causing the younger twin to look up to her, alarmed.
"Where are you going?" Alexis asks and Caroline thinks she has the total mom voice down already. Elena gives her a quick reassuring look saying that she won't do anything like that before she looks to Bonnie and Care.
"Caroline's right. It is easy. If I sit here long enough, I'll end up talking myself out of it instead of doing what I started the day saying what I was going to do." Elena tells the to other girls, making it sound like she's going to do something she isn't before she turns on her heal and leaves. Alexis just shakes her head, she contemplates following her sister but decides against it.
Caroline drives her home, sticking around for a while, just talking before leaving so Alexis and Jenna can talk. They talk for quite a while about the appointment and how things are going, basically Jenna just checks up on her and she appreciates it. Suddenly feeling very tired, she decides she'll have an early dinner then go to bed. She manages to convince her aunt to go out and buy tacos with extra guacamole, something she was craving.
She's just finishes the meal when Jeremy comes home, she pats her brother on the shoulder as she heads upstairs knowing Jenna is about to have a serious conversations with him. She can't sleep even though she is so tired and eventually Elena comes home, telling her about what just happened with Stefan. Alexis frowns slightly as her sister explains, a few hours later she's actually tired and Elena is in the shower.
She gets out of bed suddenly, grabbing her bag from the foot of her bed and pulling out the ultrasound picture. Her fingers graze gently over the picture as she holds it, presses her lips together before they quirk into a soft smile. She wonders into the hall, pulling a spare frame from a draw and heading back to her room. She puts slips the ultrasound in a frame and sits it on her bedside table, before she slips back into bed, moving the frame to face her. She falls asleep easy a few moments later.
