It's obvious how excited Alexis is about the date, the fact Matt picked it to be the Founder's party, which means so much to her, just made it seem more perfect. She's practically bouncing in her seat at the kitchen table while her, Elena, and Bonnie try to pick out what color to paint their nails for the event. Bonnie holds up two bottles, examining them. "Delicate flower vs. naughty vixen?" Bonnie questions, not being able to make up her mind.

"Tough call." Elena remarks.

"Can we mix them?" Alexis suggests, taking the polish from her friends hands and Bonnie looks between the sister's with a smile on her face

"Look at you two, getting all pretty for your dates." Bonnie smiles, there's a teasing edge to her voice as she focuses more on Alexis. "For your first date and it's with Matt, you excited?" Bonnie asks, she still doesn't know the full story but she knows allot now.

"I really am even though I'm a little nervous." The younger twin admits, reaching up and brushing a lock of hair out of her face.

"I'm sure it's going to be fine and amazing and exactly what it needs to be." Elena promises her sister, as she looks to her. Matt and Alexis...They're good together, hell they're having a kid together already.

"Tonight's going to be a good night." Alexis agrees, smile on her lips before she catches Elena's eyes. They both know they'll come back to this topic soon but she's taking a detour because she can see something's off with Bonnie. Alexis turns back to look at Bonnie with a knowing look. "But don't let that stop you from telling us whatever it is you wanted to tell us as soon as you walked in the door."

"What if I tell you in the morning? I don't want to ruin the night." Bonnie suggests with a tilt of her head, without missing a beat. She doesn't want to ruin the night for the sisters.

"Bonnie, out with it." Elena demands, arching a brow wondering what is being kept from them.

"Okay, but it has to go in the vault, because Caroline will kill me if it gets back to Damon that she squealed. Apparently Stefan has a very interesting back story." The way Bonnie says it makes it sound like an understatement. Alexis furrows her brow, though she is expecting Stefan's story to be something interesting but also something tragic. Bonnie, while telling her Elena's suspicions, even told her how when touched him it felt like death. She knows he has death in his past, she knows he's lost allot of people and that why she thinks he was, still is a bit, kind of a loner but not so much now. He's healing but his past is fogged with death and mystery but she takes Stefan as he is, she believes he's a good guy. She doesn't want to pry, he has been slowly telling her more things about his past in the past two weeks but it's still next to nothing.

"Uh-huh." Elena breaths out. Bonnie presses her lips together before answering.

"Do you know what happened with his ex-girlfriend Katherine?"

"I know that they both dated her and that's why they have issues." Elena answers, brow drawing down as she looks at her friend carefully.

"Yeah, they both dated her, only she chose Damon. And that drove Stefan mad, so he did horrible things to try and break them up. He manipulated Katherine. He filled her head with all these lies until finally it worked, and she turned against Damon." Bonnie tells them and Alexis frowns. That doesn't sound like the Stefan she knows but people change. It only sounds like half of a story, just one side of it and she knows whose side it is.

"That sounds like one person's side of the story, meaning Damon's." Alexis counters, unsure.

"I just wanted you and, mostly Elena, to know." Bonnie says softly and gently as she looks between the girls.

"Anyway, his past relationships are none of my business." Elena tells her, trying to shrug it off but Alexis can see the concern and worry edging into Elena's eyes.

"Unless he's a calculating, manipulative liar. That is your business." She warns Elena and Elena shakes her head, not wanting to believe it.

"Stefan is none of those things." Elena defends her boyfriend even though she really knows nothing about him.

"He's is a good guy." Alexis adds, backing up her sister but Bonnie is only the messenger yet she looks at the twins, arching a brow.

"Yeah? How do you two know?"

Bonnie had helped her curl her hair into soft loose waves while a robe is tied around her figure as the three girls talk and do their makeup. It's been over a week and a half since she woke up in the hospitable she is feeling better, the bruise on her face is fading but she's decided to cover that up for tonight. Alexis seem put out that Caroline is with Damon at the moment and going to the party with him but Alexis should really be used to it. When Caroline gets a new boyfriend she becomes a little distant but the blonde girl has never been this distant before. Alexis worries about her, especially now because she is with Damon. Apart from what Stefan says about him and the stunt he pulled at the dinner party, there's just something about Damon that Alexis can't explain.

"None of these are fitting properly." She breathes out seeming so disappointed while shaking her head, obviously upset as her sister tries to zip up the back of her dress but the top inch just will not zip. Her heart aches because all of the dresses she had considered to wear tonight don't fit. It might not seem like a big deal to allot people but it feels like one. Her bump has gotten a little bigger in the past two weeks, she knows it will continue to grow as well, her child will continue to grow, but she can't help but be sad about her dresses. She wants to look pretty for her first date with a boy she loves and now she doesn't even have a dress.

"We'll figure something out, Alexis." Elena promises as she tries to think of a quick solution to this.

"Just get this off me."Alexis tells her sister desperately, voice hitching slightly, not wanting to stay in this dress she once loved. Elena sighs but she unzips it before Alexis pulls away from her.

"Look, It'll be fine, I promise." Bonnie tries to tell Alexis who just slips the dress off and slips her robe back on. Alexis looks to the girl shaking her head.

"No, it won't." Alexis is hardly ever like this, it's the rush of emotions hitting her of the nerves of going on a first date with a boy- a man - she really likes. The pregnancy hormones are just amplifying it.

"You really think we're going to let you back out of your first date?" Bonnie questions her, arching a brow.

"Not going to happen." Elena agrees and Alexis doesn't want to back out or cancel, she wants to go on the date more than anything. Of course, she doesn't expect the night to be perfect, but she wants it to be something she'll look back on with a smile and a laugh though she can't help wanting to look her best.

"I have nothing to wear." Alexis argues softly, her voice hitching in that telling way as she shakes her head because they don't have time to go out and buy a dress or anything. She really should have planned it better.

"No, no, no. Do not cry you just spent forever on your makeup." Bonnie scolds her softly coming over and putting a her hand on Alexis's upper arms. The sound of the phone ringing cuts through the air, her head turns to look to the source which is the other room. Alexis sighs and pulls away from Bonnie, leaving the bathroom and two girls to answer the phone. She's thankful for the distraction as she picks up the phone, pressing it to her ear and greeting the caller.

"Hello? Hi, Mrs. Lockwood. What do you mean? It is? Are you sure? 'Cause I saw it. Let me check. Mm-hmm. I will find it and bring it. Okay. Bye." She frowns as she speaks before hanging up the phone.

She looks a different kind of concerned now, it's more stern the upset. "What's wrong?" Bonnie question, seeing that look on her face.

"Alexis?"

"Let me take care of this." She tells them without explaining what Mrs. Lockwood just told her before she walks out of her room and straight into her younger brother's. Elena leaves the room as well but she heads downstairs storms into her brother's room and over to him, hitting him on the shoulder a bit harder than gently to get his attention. He turns his head, vague annoyed expression setting on his face before he rips off his headphones. "What now?" He rolls his eyes, turning in his chair to face his older sister.

"Do you know where the pocket watch is?" Alexis demands.

"What watch?" He asks and she can see it, he's playing dumb while doing a poor job of it. She crosses her arms over her chest and gives him a knowing look.

"The one from mom's box. The antique. It was Dad's. Look, Mrs. Lockwood just called me, she was freaking out. It was on the list, Jer. And she can't find it, and she thinks she's the one who lost it." She explains and she so

"Maybe she did. Maybe Tyler took it." He suggests, huffing out those words with venom. She closes her eyes, taking a deep breath, composing herself thinking of a response. She wonders if she has a son if he'll be as difficult as Jeremy, probably, she thinks. She sighs crossing her arms over her chest and looking down at him.

"I love you, Jeremy, I really do, but really? Playing that card?" She loves her brother but he's getting on her nerves right now and she's already worked up because of the dress situation. Alexis wishes he brother could just let go of the Tyler thing but she also knows it's not in his nature too after everything. He looks like he's about to argue more, looking up at her with a challenging look she knows he only has because he's been caught. She just cuts him off as she slumps, shaking her head, looking at him more softly. "I don't care If you want to keep it just tell me okay, and promise that it won't end up in someone else's hands." She pleads softly yet there's a firm edge in her voice.

He lets out a breath, pushing himself to stand up, and he heads over to his shelf. She watches as he crouches down and pulls the watch from behind his speaker. "I'd never sell this or give it away." He tells her as he looks down at the watch as he comes back over to her. "Look, it's supposed to be mine. Dad said it goes to the firstborn son. His father gave it to him, and now what?" He drops it into her hand and she was right when she was in the kitchen earlier, he does care allot about it. She understands completely why now as he turns away from her and she looks at the watch in her hands, this holds allot of meaning to him.

"And he was going to give it to you." Alexis's voice has lost the edge, it soft and careful as she looks to him and he looks back to her.

"Yeah." He huffs but it's more upset than anything. She grabs his hand with her spare one, realizing doesn't really have it in her to take it away from him.

"Here." She tells him, putting the watch back in his hand and clasping her hands over his. "Look, Jeremy, it's still yours, okay? I'll call and tell it's still packed in dad stuff... just take care of it." She promises him and he nods slowly.

"I will." He swears and she doesn't doubt it because this is something important to him, something of dad's that's meant for him, he'll take care of it. She smiles at him softly, lips pressed together and she turns to leave but Jeremy finds himself speaking up as she reaches the doorway.

"Hey, uh, Something else wrong, Alex?" He has to ask he could tell something else was off, she looked upset when she charged into his room and he doesn't think it was all because of the watch.

"It's silly. I can't find a dress for my date." She explains, with a shrug, trying to downplay how much it effects her.

"Date?" Jeremy questions as he sits back down and Alexis nods, small smile on her lips.

"Matt's taking me to the party tonight." She confesses.

"'Bout time." He huffs out before looking back to his computer. She closes the door behind herself as she steps into the hall.

She gets back to the room not only to see Bonnie and Elena but now her aunt is also here. The first thing Jenna does is hands her a dress. "Here, Elena said you needed a dress, this should fit and it looks really good, trust me." Her redheaded aunt tells her, knowing smile on her face and relief washes over Alexis. She looks at the dress and it's beautiful, she hopes it fits.

"Thank you, Jenna." She tells her aunt, darting forward and hugging the women. Jenna laughs softly into the embrace before pulling back and telling the girl that she, herself, needs to finish getting ready as well. Jenna heads out of the room and Alexis looks back down at the dress when Elena speaks up.

"You know the other week before the ambulance arrived, Matt called you his girlfriend, whether he realized he did or not. He likes you, Alexis." Elena tells her softly and slowly. The words make Alexis look up, eyes wide, not knowing if she just heard her sister right.

"Really?" She light ups, she looks so hopeful and she's blushing like crazy.

"Yes, Now put on the pretty red dress and finish getting ready. He'll be here soon." Bonnie tells her and Alexis smiles.

She stands in front of her vanity mirror. The dress is stunning and fits perfectly. Her fingers slide over it, it's a beautiful red, strapless, it clings to her chest but flows slightly and shapes against her well before it cuts off just below her mid thigh. She walks downstairs, everyone else is already downstairs and even Stefan is here already. She gives a wave to Stefan and he smiles at her, giving a wave before continuing to talk to Elena. They might talk later but tonight isn't about them it's about their dates and they both know they'll catch up later or tomorrow.

The doorbell rings again and her heart flutters in her chest. She feels nervous but it's the good kind of nervous, as she pulls open the front door. He's standing before her, he's wearing a suit and everything. The Butterflies in her stomach fluttering around like crazy. "Hi." She greets him breathlessly, unable to keep the smile from her face.

"Hey." He smiles back, the same nervous and excited emotions rushing through him, unable to take his eyes off her.
