Katherine was standing at her chair, just taking in the scene. It was beautiful. Elijah watched her. He was standing and watching. She looked so beautiful. So innocent and pure. Elijah was rendered speechless, though he tried keeping a face of calmness. Katherine giggled a bit, placing her hand over her mouth. Elijah sat down, and Katherine mimicked his actions.

"So….. What's your reasoning for inviting me here…?" Katherine asked, looking around. There was something unfamiliar in her eyes Elijah barely saw. Happiness. He rarely saw it in her eyes, but lately he was seeing more and more. It was an amazing sight. She had the most beautiful genuine smile. He loved seeing her smile and hearing her laughter.

"Is it too much too just wish to see you?" Elijah asked, staring her down with warm, inviting eyes.

"No. It's not." Katherine said sweetly. A few men dressed nicely but not too nicely came in carrying trays. They set down two trays. One for Elijah and one for Katherine. They then brought out two glasses of soda.

"If I remember correctly this is your favorite. I didn't think alcoholic beverages would be the right direction so I opted for something a bit less harmful." Elijah said.

"I didn't think you paid THAT much attention." Katherine said, smiling in approval at him.

"I always pay attention to you." Elijah said. They lifted their plates and started eating. Elijah was eating grilled chicken and sautéed vegetables with a bit of lemon juice cooked into them. Katherine was eating a chicken Alfredo with a creamy, saucy cheese sauce. Her favorite. There were barely any restaurants that carried it made exactly like this. It had a few rare herbs mixed into it. It was a flavor that only a vampire could detect with their finely tunes senses.

"So….. How are you?" Elijah asked, making eye contact with her. She smiled warmly and gently.

"I'm good. Though it would be better if I could leave my bedroom without a bucket." Katherine joked. Elijah smiled and chuckled softly.

"How are you?" Katherine asked, trying to make small talk.

"I'm good. I believe you will get your powers back after you give birth." Elijah said. Katherine smiled happily and nodded. They continued making small talk for the next hour or so. Elijah would compliment Katherine, and then she would giggle and blush. She loved hearing his voice, no matter what comes out of it. She loves hearing it. When they were done, he walked her to her bedroom door. Katherine cleared her throat.

"Good night, Elijah. Thanks for a nice dinner." Katherine said, looking down and blushing. Elijah was about to reply when the door opened to reveal a very excited Caroline.

"Kat! PLL is on! Hurry!" Caroline squealed running. Katherine laughed, looking down.

"Good night, Elijah." Katherine said. Before she ran in, she quickly kissed him on the cheek. Then she ran in before he could say anything. Elijah touched his cheek on the spot she kissed him. Elijah mikealson was totally whipped.

Katherine, Caroline, Stefan, Bonnie, Rebekah and Kol were on their way out the next morning. Luckily for Katherine morning sickness was starting to die down. She was able to leave her room that morning with only barfing a bit. She was dressed in a sexy bow drawstrings short loose half sleeve chiffon shirt, with the bottom tucked into her forever 21 women's camel faux suede mini skirt to make the shirt puff in the middle, covering her stomach. She also had a pair of walk on air cut-out lace-up black heels. Her hair was, as always curls to perfection and she was waiting for her friends to come down. Elijah was talking at the table talking normally with Klaus when she walked in. his eyes lit up and Klaus held back a smirk. Seeing his brother speechless Klaus decided to take matters into his own hands.

"Katerina, lovely seeing you here. Going out I see?" He asked. She smiled, taking Caroline's advice to kill him with kindness.

"Yes, actually me, Care, Bon, Steffy, Bekah, and Kol are going out to lunch at Rousseau's. I hear the gumbo is to die for! And before you two go saying 'it's not safe!' I'm going with two originals, a Bennet witch, and two vampires. I'm pretty sure no one's going to be brave enough to try anything." Katherine said, mimicking their voices.

"I was just going to say to have fun." Elijah said, looking at her with love.

"Thank you, Elijah." Katherine said. It was perfect timing that the others came down, ready to go.

"You ready Kat?" Care asked, perky as ever.

"Sure, bye guys, see you in a little while." Kat said, waving goodbye to the older Mikealson's. The friends walked out the door and made their way to the famous restaurant.

"So Kat… how was your date with Elijah last night?" Rebekah asked excitedly.

"Hmmm….. Nothing short of amazing!" Katherine said. Kol, Caroline, Rebekah, and Katherine squealed at this. Bonnie and Stefan covered their ears quickly. They had gotten used to this.

"God, he was so hot in his suit and he chose all of my favorite meals! I didn't even think he paid attention to that stuff!" Katherine commented.

"Oh, Kat. You've got to learn. My brother loves details. And especially on your dates everything has to be perfect. If he didn't remember I have faith he would build a time machine to find out." Kol said excitedly with his head raised.

"He is just so sexy! After dinner he walked me to his door and I kissed him on the cheek! It was so simple and yet my lips are STILL on fire!" Katherine whined.

"Oh, no! Do not use THAT description for my brothers!" Rebekah said, making a barfing motion.

"So where exactly do you stand. Friends don't go on romantic candle lit dinners, they aren't in love with each other, they don't have kids together, and they don't want more than a cheek kiss!" Caroline laughed.

"Yah…. Maybe it's time to find out where you stand." Bonnie added.

"I'm sure Elijah would LOVE to get out of acquaintance zone." Stefan said.

"Yah…. Let's just eat first though." Katherine said nervously. She knew the conversation when she saw it. But she didn't want to have it.
