MIKAELSON COMPOUND

The next day, in Klaus's and Christy's bedroom, Christy lays on the sofa, asleep, after drinking a half-empty bottle of bourbon and with a small drinking glass on the coffee table.

{Christy Outfit}

Klaus slowly walks into the room and sees his sleeping wife on the couch. Worried about another setback for her, he slowly walks up to the coffee table and closes the half-empty bottle and bourbon.

Klaus gently strokes her cheek with his hand, causing her to stir awake and looks up at him.

"Klaus?" Christy said.

"You had quite the bender." Klaus said.

"Maybe." Christy said.

"Come on, Love. You need to sober up." Klaus said.

Klaus gently takes Christy and she gently wraps her arms around his neck. He gently lifts her up in his arms, bridal style.

"I love your paintings of me. I really do." Christy said, slightly drunk.

"I know you do." Klaus said, slowly walks over to the bed and gently lays her down on the bed and gently covers her with a blanket. "Just get better."

"I'll get better." Christy said.

Klaus pecks a kiss on her forehead temple and walks away.

Downstairs in the courtyard, Elijah, Rebekah, Kol, Freya and Kol are sitting on the couch and in the sofa chairs.

Klaus gently walks down the stairs and into the courtyard.

"How's Christy?" Rebekah asked, concerned.

"She's not herself right now. She's sleeping off her last night's bender." Klaus said.

"Will she be ready for her challenge fight?" Kol asked.

"Zenith, Thalia and Max will help her train for tomorrow afternoon's fight." Klaus said.

"Christy is strong. She'll get through it." Rebekah said.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- SITTING ROOM

Later that day, Christy slowly walks into the sitting room, wearing her sunglasses. She and Theseus exchange looks at each other.

"Do you have an Alka-seltzer or something?" Christy asked.

"I will return in a minute." Theseus said.

Ismene slowly walks into the sitting room and looks at Christy as she gently sits down in a sofa chair.

"Christiana?" Ismene said. "Remove your sunglasses, please?"

Christy gently takes off her sunglasses, showing her Aunt Ismene her bruised cheek.

"Will you be alright?" Ismene asked, concerned.

"I'll be okay." Christy reassured her Aunt. "Ceadian Queen Anastasia wanted to hurt me."

"She wanted to inflict pain upon you before the fight." Ismene said.

Theseus walks back into the sitting room with a cup of water with Alka-seltzer. He hands her the cup and Christy gently takes it.

And Theseus walks away, gently closes the door behind him.

"Are you able to refocus yourself?" Ismene asked.

"I will be." Christy replied, taking a swig of her Alka-seltzer water. "When I was a little kid, I used to watch the Orasanian Warriors, both men and women, training together, from the parapet wall. And now, that I'm an Orasanian Legend and due my legendary reputation, I have a target on me."

Ismene slowly walks up to Christy and gently sits down on the coffee table across from her.

"I know you have heard this many times before, but I am very proud of you, for the woman that you have become and the Orasanian Legend you have become." Ismene said.

Ismene and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and they gently holds each other's hands.

That afternoon, Klaus slowly walks back into his and Christy's bedroom and sees Christy reclining on the sofa.

"You came back." Klaus said.

"Yeah, I stepped out for a short minute. I had a talk with my Aunt Ismene." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other. She gets up and slowly walks up to him.

"Klaus?" Christy said.

"Whatever you have to say, you can say later. Come downstairs in the courtyard." Klaus said.

"Okay." Christy said.

Shortly after . . .

Klaus and Christy gently walks down the stairs and into the courtyard where Elijah, Rebekah, Kol, Freya, Ana, Mathias, Zenith, Thalia, Max, Gia and Marcel, along with the children's group, Luna, Trinity, Nikole, Damien and Irene, and Marion are.

"Klaus? What is this?" Christy asked her husband.

"We just wanted to remind you that you're not alone. We're always here for you." Klaus said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other. Klaus slowly walks up to next to Elijah.

"Nik told us about what happened between you and the Ceadian Queen Anastasia. But we're here for you, Christy. Always and Forever." Rebekah said.

"So, what do you say, Mom?" Luna asked. "Are you ready to fight?"

Christy small smiles to herself and looks at everyone that supports her.

"Yeah, knowing you guys have my back." Christy said.

Zenith, Thalia and Max slowly walks up to her and stands next to her.

"We have your back, you have ours, Christy." Thalia said.

"We're best friends." Max said.

"Always will be." Zenith said.

Zenith, Thalia Max and Christy looks at Klaus and the others.

Klaus and the others bows at them. Christy looks to her left at Zenith and Max, they look at her with small smiles. Christy looks at Thalia, who small smiles at her.

Zenith, Thalia, Max and Christy looks at Klaus and the others. And together, Zenith, Thalia, Max and Christy bows back at them.

ROUSSEAU'S

Later that evening, Zenith, Thalia, Max and Christy are sitting at a table together. Zenith Thalia and Max have bottles of Ale. Christy has her usual to-go cup of caramel latte to get back sober to reduce her slight drinking.

"Thanks, you guys. For helping me." Christy said to them with a small smile.

"You're welcome. We're not just a team squad, we're a family." Max said.

Zenith, Thalia, Max and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"I love you guys." Christy said.

"We love you too, Christy." Thalia said.

"Oh, come on, let's not get soft." Zenith said.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That night, Christy walks into the courtyard with two bags of groceries.

"Hello, Christy." Kol greeted his sister-in-law.

"Hey, Kol." Christy greeted him back with a small smile.

Kol walks up to her and gently takes a grocery bag.

"Thanks." Christy said and playful teases him. "And when does my psycho brother-in-law, Kol Mikaelson, offers a helping hand?"

"Since you, my favorite sister-in-law, is gonna need her strength for tomorrow afternoon's fight." Kol said.

Kol and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

Now, in the kitchen, Kol and Christy are putting up the groceries in the double door refrigerator.

"Nik and Elijah are with Mathias and Freya at the St. Louis Cathedral if you were wondering." Kol said.

"Okay." Christy said. "How are you and Davina?"

"My wife and I are doing well. We have a blissful life together. Like, you and Nik." Kol said, gently leaning sideways on the refrigerator door. "Nik and I are somewhat similar to each other, we have both thought love and caring was a weakness. He and I always bickered with each other, I hated him for the constant daggering. But despite all of that, we're brothers. And then, you entered his life. Married and two daughters. Nik loves you, Christy."

"Yeah, he does." Christy said. "And now, if anything happens, Klaus will crash and burn."

"It's what worries him." Kol said.

"Kol? You love Davina very much and you've lost her." Christy said.

"I did. And when she died, . . . I just felt this hole inside. Like when, Nik lost you many times, and almost lost you. When you died, Nik tried to put on a brave face for the sake of Luna and Trinity, but it was weighing on him. But deep down inside of him, he was struggling with how to go on with his life without you. Being a single parent. But when you and Nik are together, he's happy." Kol said.

Kol and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"I've seen his paintings of you. His personal collection of paintings." Kol said.

"I'm his beguiling muse. His inspiration for his paintings." Christy said.

"And Rebekah also shared his art book." Kol said.

"I talked him into it and now, everyone at Mount Orasani knows Klaus Mikaelson the Artist." Christy said.

Kol and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and continues putting up the groceries.

Later that night, Christy is in the ballroom, sitting on the sofa, on the phone with Vek.

"Bassea gave birth earlier this afternoon. It's a girl. Her name is Olivia. Her nickname is "Ollie". We can't wait to see you." Vek tells Christy.

"I'll see you guys after my fight tomorrow afternoon." Christy said.

"Alright, good luck to your challenge fight. Me and Bassea will be there." Vek said.

"Okay. Say "Hi" to Bassea for me and give Arian and Ollie a kiss from their Aunt Christy." Christy said.

"Okay, I will." Vek said, and hangs up her phone.

Klaus slowly walks into the ballroom. "How's Bassea?"

Christy looks up at her husband. "Bassea is doing well. She gave birth earlier this afternoon to a baby girl named Olivia."

"Vek, Bassea, Arian and newborn baby Olivia." Klaus said, slowly walks up to her and sits down next to her on the sofa. "One big happy family."

"Yeah." Christy said.

"By the way, what were you gonna say before?" Klaus asked.

"I was gonna say "Thank you" for helping me and getting me to refocus on my fight." Christy said. "So, thank you, Klaus."

"You're welcome." Klaus said. "Just win this fight."

"I will." Christy said, gently leans her head on his shoulder.

And Klaus gently leads his head on hers.
