That same evening...

At the ST. THEODORA CLINIC CENTER, after being stabbed by Mikael, Christy is laying on a stretcher bed, drawn by Klaus, Callahan and Keelin.

"The knife itself is embedded in Christy's stomach, we have to get it out before it does any more damage." Callahan said.

"Klaus, wait here." Keelin said, outside at the ER.

Keelin walks inside the ER with her husband, Callahan.

From outside of the ER, Klaus watches from the double door as Callahan and Keelin works together having setup Christy with a heart rate monitor.

With a pair of pliers, Keelin gently digs into Christy's stomach wound, and gently grips the blood-stained knife blade, causing the heart rate monitor to beep.

"Oh, shit, Keelin." Callahan said to his wife, worriedly, looking at the heart rate lines on the monitor slowly rising.

"The knife blade is in deep, I have to pull it out without it cutting any other stomach intestines." Keelin said to her husband.

"Then, we pull it out quickly." Callahan suggested.

"Callahan?" Keelin said.

"I know the risk, Keelin, but if we don't, Christy will die." Callahan said.

"Alright." Keelin said. She takes a deep breath and pulls out the blood-stained knife blade from Christy's stomach wound. "I got it."

And Callahan quickly covers the stomach wound with a square band-aid, which stops the bleeding and slowly soaks up the blood.

ST. THEODORA CLINIC CENTER

The next day, Klaus sits in the hallway, along with Elijah, Rebekah, Kol and Freya, awaiting for Callahan and Keelin.

Callahan walks out of Christy's clinic room, which the Mikaelson's looks at her.

"Keelin?" Freya said to her best friend. "How's Christy? Is she gonna be alright?"

"She's gonna be fine." Keelin reassured the Mikaelsons. "It was a tough choice between Callahan and I. The knife blade did some damage to Christy's intestines as I quickly extracted it, she lost a little blood, but she's gonna be sedated for a while."

"Can we see her?" Klaus asked.

"Sure." Keelin said.

Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah, Kol and Freya slowly walks inside Christy's clinic room.

Christy is sedated, wearing a clinic gown, with an oxygen mask and a heart rate monitor monitoring her heart.

Rebekah gently holds Christy's hand in hers. "We'll be here when you wake up."

And Rebekah looks at Klaus. "Does Luna and Trinity know about their mother?"

"I phone called Trinity. They'll be here from Camp Orasani." Klaus told Rebekah. "In the meantime, we must find Mikael and make him suffer for what he has done."

"We'll handle our father dearest later, Nik, but right now, Christy needs you." Rebekah said to her brother.

"Rebekah's right." Kol said. "We can handle father dearest later."

Klaus looks at his sedated unconscious wife, Christy, worriedly.

⚜️⚜️

Later on that day, Christy had awakened from her sedation and is being checked out by Keelin.

Luna and Trinity had arrived and is sitting on the bed with Christy.

Keelin is checking Christy's stomach wound has been patched up with some butterfly band-aids.

"I dislike stitches." Christy said.

"You do?" Keelin asked.

"Yeah. It's just something about stitches. It's just irks me a little." Christy said.

Keelin and Christy exchange chuckles with each other.

"Are you sure you're gonna be okay, Mom?" Trinity asked.

"Yeah, because when Dad phone called us, we came here as fast as we could." Luna said.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." Christy reassured both her daughters.

"Okay, come along, Trinity, let's get Mom something to snack on." Luna said.

Luna and Trinity gets up from the bed and walks out of the clinic room.

Christy notices Keelin's worried look on her face. "Keelin? What's wrong?"

"Callahan did an X-ray on your abdomen. The knife blade part that was broken off in your stomach, it did more damage than he and I thought it did."

"What does that mean?" Christy asked, concerned.

"Christy? If you're not careful, you could have gastrointestinal bleeding." Keelin said.

"Is that not good?" Christy asked.

"That knife blade. It was made from a Mercury element." Keelin said. "And by the way, it's not good."

"Klaus isn't gonna like this." Christy said, concerned about her husband finding out.

"No, he won't." Keelin said.

Keelin and Christy exchange worried looks at each other.

⚜️⚜️

That afternoon, Luna, Trinity and Christy are sitting at a table in the cafeteria, eating their lunch, ham and cheese sandwiches, bottles of water, and green jello cups.

{Christy's Outfit}

"These jello cups are good." Trinity said.

"Yeah, I know." Christy said, taking a bite out of her sandwich.

"We just have the munchies." Luna said.

Luna, Trinity and Christy exchange chuckles with each other.

"You three are having some fun." Klaus said, sitting at the table with his wife and daughters.

"Hey, Dad." Luna and Trinity greeted their father with smiles.

"Our daughters are good with babysitting me." Christy said to her husband, Klaus, with a small smile.

Luna gently slides over her paper plate of French fries to her Dad.

Klaus gently takes a French fry and eats it. He, Christy, Luna and Trinity exchange small smiles at each other.

"Is my tongue green?" Christy asked, showing them her green tongue.

"Yep." Trinity replied.

Klaus, Christy, Luna and Trinity exchange playfully chuckles with each other.

FRENCH QUARTER MARKET

That late afternoon, Klaus and Christy are gently holding each other's hands, taking a stroll.

"Is my tongue still green?" Christy asked, showing Klaus her faded green tongue from eating her green jello.

"Yeah, it is." Klaus replied. "You don't have to be silly for me, Chris."

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"I know." Christy said.

Colette and Christy exchange small waves at each other.

"Hey, Christy." Colette greeted.

"Hey, Colette." Christy greeted back at her.

"You're pretty famous with the witches around here." Klaus said.

"Yeah, I am, am I?" Christy said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and she gently pulls away from him, gently taking a mason jar with herbs and spices.

"Mathias said he needed some herbs to make his herbal concoction." Christy said to Klaus.

"So, you and I aren't gonna talk about it?" Klaus asked.

Christy looks at Klaus, a bit confused. "Talk about what?"

"Mikael tried to kill you, Christy." Klaus mentioned.

"Klaus? If we talk about him, it's just gonna piss you off, and you're gonna go looking for him with vengeance. And that's what Mikael is counting on." Christy told him.

"Mikael knows that you're my weakness." Klaus said.

Christy gently caress Klaus's cheek with her gloved hand. "Mikael has it all wrong. I'm not your weakness, Klaus. I'm your strength."

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and they share a kiss.

"Dinner's on me tonight." Klaus said.

"Okay. Let's see who cooks better." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"Without compelling anyone to cook for you." Christy said.

Klaus smirks at her and Christy smirks back at him. She playfully bops his nose with her finger and he playfully scrunches up his nose.

Christy glances at the herbs mason jar in her hand. "Now, to get this to Mathias."

And Klaus and Christy walks away.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That evening, in the study, Christy is sitting at the minibar, taking a swig of her small cup of herbal concoction.

Christy's phone buzzes in her jeans pocket. She pulls out her phone and looks at it.

Odessa

Christy answers her phone. "Odessa?"

"Hello, Christiana. Can I borrow you for a short minute?" Odessa asked on the phone.

"Yeah, sure. I'm coming." Christy said, hanging up her phone and gets up to her feet, putting her phone back in her jeans pocket.

"Heading out?" Klaus asked.

"Yeah. I'll be a short minute." Christy said to him, drinking the rest of her herbal concoction. "And as for the dinner, surprise me."

Klaus small smiles at her. And Christy small smiles back at him.

"I'll be right back. I'll be a short minute." Christy said, and teleports away in golden dust.

PALACE CASINO CLUB

Later that evening, Odessa and Christy are in Odessa's office.

"Firstly, I'm glad you're okay with your recovery." Odessa said.

"Yeah, I am." Christy said, sitting atop of Odessa's desk. "So, what was it that you needed to borrow me?"

"A few errands. Like, silver briefcases exchange. Selling jewelry for cash." Odessa said. "But it's if you want to or not."

"Sure." Christy replied.

"Alright, I'll contact you on your wrist comm." Odessa said.

"Alright." Christy said, and teleports away in golden dust.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Later on that night, Christy teleports inside the courtyard and slowly walks up to the kitchen doorway and looks at a platter of her favorite food; chicken Parmesan and dessert; cheesecake.

Klaus is sitting at the kitchen countertop, taking sips of his glass of wine.

"Did you compel a cook?" Christy asked her husband, playfully teasing him.

"Nope, I cooked myself." Klaus said to her with a small smile. "And as for the cheesecake, it was some leftover in the refrigerator."

Christy slowly walks up to the kitchen countertop and looks at the platter of her food and dessert.

"You did good, Klaus." Christy complimented.

Klaus slowly walks up to her and gently leans sideways on the kitchen countertop. "When were you gonna tell me about your X-ray?"

"My X-ray?" Christy said.

"You could have gastrointestinal bleeding if you're not careful." Klaus said to her with a worried look on his face.

"Did Keelin tell you?" Christy asked.

"She didn't have to, Love." Klaus said. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I knew how you were gonna react." Christy told him. "And also, because I know you and I know how you are. Be angry with me for telling you. Not with Keelin."

"I'm not angry, I'm just worried about my wife." Klaus said to her. "Does Luna and Trinity know?"

"They don't." Christy replied. And glances at the platter food and dessert. "Food is getting cold. We can microwave it."

Klaus and Christy exchange humorous small smiles at each other.

⚜️⚜️

Upstairs in the Klaus's and Christy's room, Christy is still eating on the food as she slowly walks inside the bathroom, turning on the light switch.

She looks at herself in the mirror and slowly lifts up the hem of her tank top, revealing her deep stomach stab wound with butterfly band-aids.

Christy sighs to herself and slowly walks out of the bathroom, turning off the light switch.

Christy's phone buzzes in her jeans pocket. She pulls out her phone and looks at it as she gently sits down on the arm of the sofa chair.

Ana

Christy answers her phone. "Hey, Ana."

"Hey, Christy. Elijah told me what happened. Are you okay?" Ana asked, worriedly, on the phone.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Christy reassured her best friend on the phone.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow morning for coffee at the café. Love you." Ana said.

"Okay. And love you too, Ana." Christy said, and hangs up her phone.
