Elijah and his brother Klaus were looking forward to celebrating the 4th of July with a huge ball. Everything was going perfectly.
But then Elijah finds out his girlfriend cheated on him. And Klaus, who was enjoying his life as a womanizer...
12th of June, exactly one year after Klaus and Caroline's first date
"You look amazing." Bonnie said, admiring the bride.
Caroline turned away from the mirror and beames at her friend. "Thank you! I'm so excited, I can't even describe it! I mean, seriously, you know I've always wanted a June wedding, but this... this is so much better than I ever imagined it would be. A guy I thought was a total douche turned out to be the love of my life. And now we're having our dream wedding! Sometimes I think this whole thing is too perfect to be true."
"Well, it is true. If you won't believe it now maybe you'll start when you hear yourself say 'I do'." Elena remarked with a grin.
The blonde giggled, excitment still rushing through her veins.
The brunette, smoothing her pale pink bridesmaid gown, squeezed Caroline's shoulder in support. "Are you ready? It's almost time. Elijah will be here any minute to see us to the church before you join us with your Mom."
"Yeah, I'm ready." the bride's voice sounded determined. She drew a deep breath.
Bonnie gathered her purse from her chair. "By the way, 'Lena, since you mentioned Elijah: have you told him yet?"
The brunette doctor nervously bit her lip. "No."
Her answer made both Bonnie and Caroline turn their full attention to their friend. The blonde bride furrowed her eyebrows. "Honey, you've got to tell him."
"I know. I tried, really, but... I don't know. It- I can't seem to find the right words. Or the right time." Elena stammered, her nervousness increasing. Bonnie gave her a skeptical side glance, her brown-green eyes oozing incredule but also some understanding.
Before either of them could say any more, there was a knock on the door. Upon being invited in, Elijah entered the room, all dressed up for the occasion in a tux, his dark hair neatly combed in an simple but sophisticated style. He was the best man.
"You all look positively radiant, especially you." he complimented them, giving his girlfriend special attention, "I hope you're ready because the ceremony is about to start. Caroline, your mother is on her way, she'll be here any second. Miraculously, father has just given Niklaus his blessing. I believe those two are finally bonding, even though they still have a long way to go. As for the rest of us, we should be going." He extended a hand to Elena, "What do you say, my darling, should we-"
"I'M PREGNANT!"
Silence enveloped the room. Elena, shocked at her own, impulsive confession, gulped and stared at her boyfriend in anticipation. Elijah stared back, his eyes round and his mouth slightly agape; he was processing what he'd just heard.
Eventually, it was Caroline who broke the silence. "Seriously?! After three weeks of trying to find the 'right time' and the 'right words', THIS is your final choice?!? My wedding day right before the ceremony??"
Bonnie tired and failed not to laugh at the situation.
Slowly, Elijah got over the shock and a big, beaming smile began to spread on his face. "I'm going to be a father?!" he whispered, wanting to be assured again that this wasn't a dream.
Elena, ignoring Bonnie and Caroline for the moment, exhaled and nodded.
