LAFAYETTE CEMETERY

{Christy's Outfit}

Christy slowly walks up to the brick tomb where Lenore/Esther is and glances at the empty blood bag on the concrete floor.

"Good morning, Esther." says Christy.

Lenore/Esther slowly slides out from the darkness of the shadows. "Why have you come here, Christiana?"

"To merely check on you." Christy replies to Lenore/Esther. "I know my husband, Klaus, can be a pain in the ass sometimes, and his behavior can be mischievous, I don't blame him for being the man he is, I personally blame you and Mikael."

"I love my son." Lenore/Esther says to Christy.

"And yet, you left him at the hands of your asshole of a husband, Mikael." Christy says to Lenore/Esther. "So, enjoy the darkness, Esther. You deserve it."

And Christy walks away.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

In the study, Christy is sitting at the coffee table, making some cards. Magical cards.

"Hi, Christy." Davina says, walking inside the study, and glances at the cards. "What's with the cards?"

"I'm making magical cards." Christy says to Davina.

"Magical cards?" Davina says, a bit confused, and sits down at the coffee table.

"Sounds weird, I know, but it will help me and others." Christy says.

Christy and Davina exchange looks at each other. Christy gently sets down the cards on the coffee table. She makes her eyes glow blue and magical waves her hand over the cards.

The cards magical neatly lays side by side each other on the coffee table.

"What does your magical cards do?" Davina asks Christy.

"Well . . . . I really don't know." Christy says. "Yet."

Christy and Davina exchange playfully smiles at each other.

"By the way, Sophie left this for you." Davina says, and pulls out a burner phone from her jacket pocket.

Christy gently takes it from Davina. And presses the 'Play' button on the burner iPhone. Davina gets up and walks over to Christy and crouches down beside her.

"Hey, Christy. And if you're looking at this burner iPhone, I'm dead. But anyway, I have something to tell you. Christy, I can sense when a woman is pregnant." Sophie Devereaux says on the burner phone.

Christy become astonished. "Oh my gosh."

"I know it's shocking, Christy. But you and Klaus are going to have a child. Congratulations." Sophie says, and the small video ends.

Christy and Davina exchange astonished looks at each other.

"You're pregnant, Christy." Davina says with a smile.

Christy smiles to herself and gently puts her hand on her flat stomach where Klaus's and hers unborn child is.

"Oh my gosh, I'm pregnant." Christy says.

Afterwards, Christy is sitting on the sofa, processing the information that was given to her by deceased best friend, Sophie Devereaux.

"Christiana?" Elijah says.

"I'm pregnant, Elijah." Christy says.

Elijah looks at Christy, astonished. "You're pregnant." And sits down on the sofa across from her. "Who else knows of this?"

"Davina. And now, you." Christy says.

"Does Niklaus knows of this?" Elijah asks.

"No. Not yet anyway." Christy says.

"And I am to assume that you keep your pregnancy a secret from Niklaus?" says Elijah.

"Klaus? A father? Basically, he didn't really have an awesome father. What makes you think that Klaus will jump for joy?" Christy says.

"Niklaus loves you, Christiana. But I will keep your secret with me until you say so." Elijah says.

"Thanks, Elijah. But knowing my husband, Klaus, he has his ways of finding things out himself." Christy says.

"You're pregnant, Christy." Freya says, astonishingly.

"Shit." Christy says. "Yes, I'm pregnant. My deceased best friend, Sophie Devereaux, told me on a burner phone."

"Does Klaus know?" Freya asks.

"Knows what?" Klaus asks, and walks inside the study.

"That I've made some magical cards." Christy says.

Klaus, Elijah, Freya, and Christy exchange looks at each other.

Klaus squints his eyes. "What is it that you guys are not telling me?"

"I have to go." Christy says, putting her magical deck cards in her green crochet knit bag. "I'll see you guys around."

Christy gets up and walks away, but Klaus vamp-speeds in front of her.

"Klaus?" Christy says.

"Whatever it is that you are not telling me, you know, I'm just gonna find out anyway." says Klaus, and gently cups his face with her face. "So, whatever it is, whatever skeleton that you're keeping in your closet, Love, just tell me."

"Klaus?" Christy says.

"What is it?" Klaus asks, looking into her blue eyes.

Christy wanted to tell Klaus that she's pregnant with their child. But she didn't know how to tell him, given the fact, Klaus himself, was ruined by his mad father, Mikael, and wouldn't know Klaus would react to the pregnancy.

Christy kisses Klaus. He kisses her. And gently pulls away from the affectionate kiss.

"I love you, Klaus." Christy says, and gently removes his hands from her face and she walks away from him.

Klaus, Elijah and Freya exchange looks at each other.

That evening, Christy is sitting in a armchair, and gently puts her hand on her flat stomach.

Camille, Hayley, and Gia slowly walks inside and sits down beside Christy.

"Davina told us that you're pregnant, Christy." says Hayley. "Does Klaus knows?"

"I haven't told him yet." Christy says.

"But you're worried about how Klaus will react to your pregnancy." Camille says.

"Klaus didn't have a happy childhood. He was ruined by Mikael and Esther." Christy says. "And now, I have a little baby growing in my womb, I just don't know."

"I know Klaus can be a dick sometimes. But Klaus loves you Christy, and he's gonna love this baby." Gia says and smiles softly. "And I'm gonna be an auntie. And so is Camille and Hayley."

Christy, Camille, Hayley and Gia exchange playfully smiles with each other.

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

Klaus

Christy answers her phone. "Hey, Klaus."

"Hi, we need to talk when you come back home." Klaus says, and hangs up his phone.

"I have to go back home." Christy says.

"Okay." Camille says.

"Love you guys." Christy says.

"Love you too, Christy." Gia says.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Christy walks slowly into the empty darkened courtyard and sees Klaus drinking bourbon at the minibar.

"Klaus?" Christy says.

"You're pregnant." Klaus says, and looks at her, and finishes his bourbon drink. "When were you gonna tell me? And no, Elijah and Freya did not tell me. I heard the heartbeat in your womb."

"I didn't know how." Christy says.

"But you were frightened by my reaction." Klaus says, and slowly walks up to her. "That's your little secret that you told Elijah and Freya? That you're pregnant with our child."

"I know that you weren't gonna jump for joy. And besides, both Mikael and Esther were shitty parents." Christy says to Klaus. "Do you even want this baby?"

"Yes, I do." Klaus says, which surprises Christy. "What? Did you except my response to be No?"

"To be honest, yes." Christy says. "I'm sorry for not telling you, Klaus."

"I know my childhood was not a good one, but I will promise you that I will be a good father to our child." Klaus says to Christy.

Klaus and Christy exchange smiles at each other. They share an affectionate kiss. And Klaus gently puts his hand on Christy's flat stomach.

Klaus and Christy smiles at each other, happily.
