CAINE'S MANSION

Elena drapes a white cover over an armchair. She pours paint into a paint trough and begin to paint the room.

Caine walks into the room

Caine: What are you doing?

Elena: This is gonna be the nursery. Darker or light?

Caine: Darker. Definitely, darling.

She walks up closer wrapping her arms around her waist resting her chin on her shoulder

Caine: How are you doing?

Elena: We have to keep moving. Otherwise we'll start thinking and we don't want to think.

Caine pecks her on the cheek. The doorbell rings

Caine: I'll get that

She walks out of the room and heads down the stairs; she opens the door showing Damon and Abel on the other side

Damon: We got a problem

Abel: Not us, the dumbass here

Damon rolls his eyes

KITCHEN

Caine, Damon, and Abel are in the kitchen. Damon is drinking a glass of bourbon, a tattoo forming on his wrist, C.C.

Abel: Those annoying witches led the Bennett witch there and she feed Alaric her blood. They wanted him turned

Caine: Where's the stake?

Damon: Oh, you mean the white oak one? The one that can kill an Original and wipe out an entire line of vampires? We don't know.

Caine: Do you think your brother had a hand in this?

Damon: I want to say no but knowing him, I wouldn't put it past him.

Abel: A witch can't truly make an immortal creature, there is always a way to undo a spell.

Damon: So, what's the witchy work around?

Abel: That's the thing; I don't know.

The doorbells ring; Abel leaves the kitchen and opens the door. He rolls his eyes

Abel: Good, my day just got better. What do you want?

Klaus: Now is that any way to treat a guest?

Caine walks up behind her brother

Caine: What do you want?

Klaus: Abel needs to learn how to treat a guest properly

Abel: Oh sod off, cunt

Caine: I'm sure you've heard of Alaric

Klaus: Oh, I know all about my mother's invulnerable little creation and that's why I'm here. I'm leaving town, just need to pick up a few road trip necessities. Spare tire, flashlight, pregnant doppelgänger.

Caine: Not gonna bloody happen.

She slams the door right in his face.

She runs up the stairs to the room and looks around, her eyes widens in horror seeing Elena is still painting. The brunette turns around and looks at her in confusion

Elena: W-what's----

Caine marches up to her cupping her face in her hands and smashes their lips together. Elena drops the brush and snakes her arms around her neck, moaning into the kiss.

They pull away and leans their heads together

Elena: What was that for?

Caine: No reason. I just wanted to kiss you, darling.

OUTSIDE

Klaus is pacing back and forth on the porch. Abel is leaning against the side of the house, arms folded.

Klaus: Now, I know you're not asking me to walk into a certain death.

God walks up the steps

God: I really wish I could but that would infer with my plans, Niklaus.

Damon: Why don't we just figure out a way to put Alaric down?

Klaus: Okay, how about Abel sneaks in and distracts Alaric

Abel: Caroline's in there. Oh wait, she was too busy moaning underneath to even think of you.

God: The desiccation spell on Mikael that immobilized him for over 15 years. I have it, you will able to use it on Alaric.

Klaus: If and might? Your words inspire such confidence.

God: Caine will stay here with Elena while you will help them with Alaric.

BEDROOM

Caine walks into the room where Elena is standing in front of the mirror.

Elena: Hey

Caine closes the door behind her. Elena looks over to her with a smile

Caine walks over to her taking her hands in hers raising them to her lips.

Caine: Are you okay?

Elena: No. I hate living like this. I don't want our baby to live like this. I want our baby to be safe. I want us to have a normal life, just us. Be happy

Caine: And I am happy, darling. We are going to be happy. I assure you.

She slowly gets down on one knee, holding a diamond ring in her hand

Elena: What's this?

Caine: Will you marry me, Elena Gilbert?

Elena smiles a teary eyed smile and nods her head. Caine slides the ring onto her finger and stands up, cupping her face kissing her.

She wraps her arm around her waist

Caine: You are so beautiful.

Elena: I love you

Caine: I love you
