Alex sits in a rocking chair in the babies room, where she is writing a letter. Klaus enters the room and leans in the doorway

Klaus says, "Writing a love letter to one of your many suitors? So, who's the lucky recipient, then?" 

He smiles "Elijah?". 

Alex rolls her eyes at him "Don't tell me it's me?" 

They both laugh "I thought I was out of the running ages ago!" 

Alex says, laughing "And the award for "Biggest Ego" goes to..."

She gestures toward Klaus, who continues to laugh. Suddenly, she groans when the baby starts to kick

 Alex says, "Oh!"

Klaus walks toward Alex, looking concerned

Klaus says, "How are our littlest loves?" Alex says, "Do you want to...?"

She rubs her baby bump expectantly. Klaus steps back, looking nervous, but Alex gives him a look

Alex says, "Come on!"

She gestures again to her belly. Klaus reaches out and touches her abdomen, and he's startled when he feels the babies kick

Alex laughs and says, "You feel that?

They both laugh in amazement, but after a moment, Klaus suddenly feels awkward and stands up

Alex says, "Right! I'll leave you to your secret letter, then!"

Klaus rushes off, and Alex smiles as she thinks about Klaus and the baby. In voiceover, Alex narrates her letter as the scene cuts to Hayley giving birth with help from the witches

Alex writes "Dear Zoe...or Kaitlyn...or Angela John... or Kaleb...or Kol To my little girl and little boy. Your dad just asked if this was a love letter. I guess it kind of is. I never got to know my mother. I have no idea what she must have thought when she carried me."

In the present, Alex, who is in the middle of labor, screams at Genevieve and Monique as they stand around her

Alex says, "AHHHH! Let go of me, you bitch!" 

Alex writes "So, I thought I'd write to you, so you can know how happy I am at this very moment. How much your father and I can't wait to meet you guys..."

In the present, Klaus limps into the hospital and finds the witches with Hayley, who is shocked and relieved to see him. Klaus lunges toward one of the witch guards and rips his head off. Abigail and Genevieve link hands and telekinetically pin Klaus to the wall

Alex writes "And, I want to make you two a promise of three things that you will have that I don't have anymore: a safe home, someone to tell you that they love you every single day, and someone to fight for you, no matter what."
