MEMORIAL

AMELIA'S HOUSE

Katherine is in the kitchen making breakfast. Frying bacon on a skillet on the stove when she hears Amelia's screams coming from upstairs

Amelia: AHHHHH! NO! NO! NO! NO!

Katherine stops what's she doing and vamp speeds upstairs to the master bedroom finding Amelia on her knees, sobbing, rocking back and forth.

Katherine runs up to her kneeling down taking her face in her hands making her look at her

Katherine: What's wrong?

Amelia doesn't say anything as she simply points to the bed. Katherine turns her head and her eyes widens at the blood soaked into the sheets

Amelia: I lost our baby. 

Katherine looks at her sadly, pulling her into her arms as Amelia buries her head into her chest and cries. 

Katherine: Shh, it's okay. It's okay. I got you, baby girl. I got you

SALVATORE HOUSE

Damon hangs up the phone as he walks into the parlor

Damon: We got a problem

Stefan: What happened?

Damon: Amelia lost the baby

Stefan's eyes widens in horror

Stefan: W-what?

Damon: So you want to go beat Little Gilbert's ass with me? Considering Bonnie told me Jeremy was the one who put the idea in her head. 

Stefan: With pleasure. 

MYSTIC FALLS HIGH

Jeremy and Matt are putting boxes into the back of a car.

Matt: So, what are these again?

Jeremy: They're paper lanterns. The student council made them for after the Memorial. We light them up in honor of all the dead.

Jeremy and Matt walk over to the remainder of the boxes.

Matt: Nobody thought fire might be a little inappropriate.

Jeremy: Yeah, I wouldn't make that crack in front of Elena.

Damon and Stefan walks up to them

Damon: Hey quarterback, Little Gilbert tell you he's a baby killer now?

Matt looks confused

Matt: What's that mean?

Jeremy: Nothing, man. He's a punk

Stefan: Because you put that stupid idea in Bonnie's head, Amelia lost the baby. 

Matt: Jer, tell me you didn't.

Jeremy: How about you tell me thanks? Because I did that, Klaus ain't dead. 

Matt: YOU KILLED A BABY!!!

Jeremy: I didn't know Amelia would lose---

Damon: Quarterback, walk away so me and Stef can punish little Gilbert

Matt glares at Jeremy for a long moment, clenching his jaw

Matt: How about I stay and all three of us kick his ass?

Stefan: That's a better idea

Damon, Stefan, and Matt smirks slowly walking towards Jeremy who looks between them clearly afraid. Damon's fist comes around connecting with his jaw knocking him down. 

AMELIA'S HOUSE

Amelia is clutching a pillow against her chest rocking back and forth, her eyes red from crying. Elena walks into the room holding a cup of tea. She places it down on the nightstand and sits down on the edge of the bed

Elena: Melly? Baby?

Amelia: I lost her. I lost my----

Elena hooks her finger under her chin raising her head up to look at her

Elena: Hey, we're immortal. We have all the time in the world to have kids. It's gonna happen again. I promise. 

Amelia wipes away the tears in her eyes

Amelia: How are you?

Elena: I'm good. Stefan's been helping. 

Amelia: You're so cheery

Elena: Because you're here and we're alive---ish.

Amelia giggles, smiling a warm smile

Elena: We're gonna get through this, okay?

Amelia leans closer touching her lips to hers in a soft loving kiss

Amelia: I love you

Elena: I love you more, darling.

LATER-DOWNSTAIRS

Amelia is sitting on the couch cuddled up with a blanket watching tv when Caroline plops down beside her

Amelia: What are you doing, Care?

Caroline: I got sent here to keep you company, my love and that's what I'm gonna do.

Amelia: H----how could they do this to me? They killed my baby. 

Caroline: Hey. Hey. Come here

She holds her arms out and Amelia throws herself into her arms as Caroline wraps her arms around her tightly, kissing her on the side of the head

Caroline: We have all the time in the world, baby. We'll have several kids of our own. 

Amelia purrs happily nuzzling into her chest gripping her jacket tightly. Caroline runs her fingers through her hair, smiling down at her lovingly.

Amelia: I love you, Care

Caroline: I love you so much more, my love.
