WHEN WINIFRED AWOKE from a couch in a room with esther and finn, confused was an understatement on how she felt. she looked around and saw a hole piercing through the dress she had worn the day she died a thousand years ago. she saw her baby bump was still there and could feel the kicks of the little human inside of her.

winifred still didn't know that so much time had passed. she didn't know how she could possibly be alive either. or how her child was alive.

"e-esther?" winifred's voice was hoarse and strained, yet still soft and gentle. "finn?"

"hello, darling." esther greeted with a sadistic smirk. "it is lovely to see you again. i must apologize for my husbands acts all those years ago."

"how long has it been?" winnie questioned, her hand on her bump, caressing it to make sure she and the baby was really there.

"it has been a thousand years, winifred." finn's voice spoke. the girl turned with wide eyes.

"this must be a joke." winnie said. "if it really has been a thousand years than how are we all still here?"

"well my children were turned into vampires by me." esther explained. "you, i am not sure how you are alive. we found your body here randomly and knew we must hide it from the others. but now that you are here and the child you bare is still alive. i will be killing you."

"wh-what?!" winnie couldn't process what was happening and now esther wanted to kill her again. "n-no! i will not allow it to happen again. ELIJAH! HELP!"

elijah was downstairs, helping his siblings preparing for the ball. he heard the muffled yells of his former love and thought he was only hearing things. but that was until kol and rebekah heard it as well.

"is that..." rebekah trailed off, trying to hear better.

"winifred?" kol finished. elijah, rebekah and kol sped up the stairs to see finn holding elijah's supposedly dead wife by her arms as she fought against esther who was trying to stab her. finn had placed his hand over her mouth to prevent her screams from being heard.

"winifred." elijah breathed out. esther and finn both stopped their actions upon seeing the rest of the mikaelsons gathered in the room.

"elijah!" winifred cried, kicking out of finn and esther's hold and in her lovers. elijah stood dumbfounded of what he was seeing.

after all these years, why now? how was she here? what was going on?

still, he wrapped his arms protectively around her as best as he could with her bump.

"mother what is this?" elijah questioned. winifred looked up and got a view of how her husband looked. his hair was now cut short but other than that, he looked the same. as did the rest of the siblings.

"elijah." esther sighed out. "it is not what is appears to be."

"ho-how is she here?" elijah questioned as if winifred wasn't there.

"i do not know." esther replied. "that is why i was trying to kill her. to finish what your father had started-"

"you will not." elijah said, holding the girl in his arms, afraid that if we were to let go she would disappear again. "mother i do not want you near winifred nor the child when it is born. i forbid you to be around her. as for you finn, i cannot bare to look at you right now."

and with that, elijah lifted the girl up into his arms and sped out of the room and to his own.
