The Devil gets his Angel

Connor:

I wake up to Gracie crying her eyes out! I get up wearing my spaghetti strap shirt and shorts. Walking into her room I see a form carrying her. I quickly grab a gun and point it to the person.

"Put her down." I order. The person turns around and goes wide eyed.

"Katherine!" Alexander whisper yells. I sigh relieved and grab Gracie from him.

"You scared me." I say laying her on a table and changing her diaper.

"Sorry." He says awkwardly.

"Don't you have a girlfriend to be with?" I scoff putting clothes back onto Gracie.

"I'm guessing you don't want me here?" He asks. Unbelievable.

"You're the one who said you didn't want Gracie or me to get in the way of your fucking girlfriend so how about you do exactly that and go back to her! Cause I am for sure you never cared for me and don't care for her!" I yelled.

"I did." He said sadly "I love-" I cut him off not wanting to hear it.

"Shut up." I say abruptly. "We're both incapable to love each other." I set Gracie in her crib. "It's clear that we don't care for each other, Alexander. You just feel guilty and that's the only way you care for me. It's just your stupid fucking conscious telling you you have to take care of me because you weren't there for me." He didn't say anything so I just chuckled and the door rang. "I'm getting that." I say and go to the door opening it up to see Connor.

"Hey, Katherine!" He says happily with his amazing smile. He gives me a hug that warms me up since I'm in short stuff.

"Hey, um Alexander is here too by the way." I state and he nods his head, I let him come in and I make him coffee while he sits down on the breakfast bar.

"I actually wanted to talk to you." He smirked.

"Really!?" I ask handing him the coffee.

"Yes. I was wondering if you wanted to um go on a um-" I cute him off with a chuckle.

"You don't have to be nervous Connor." I pat his hand and he grabs it.

ALEXANDERS POV

I rustle my hair and walk out of the baby's room and into the kitchen. I stop midway when I see Katherine chuckling with a bright smile at Connor and he grabs her hand that was already on top of his. They stare at each other, I remember that look. It's the look Katherine used to give me whenever she looked at me.

"Would you go on a date with me?" I hear Connor say snapping me out of my daze.

"No!" I barge in and they look at me.

"Yes." Katherine says looking at me with challenging eyes.

"You can't, kat." I say sadly, I quickly replace it with anger "you have to take care of the baby." I quickly add so she won't go.

"It's Gracie by the way." Connor adds.

"Elijah and you both can take care of her." Katherine retorts. I scoff at how childish she's being.

"You aren't going anywhere, ba-" I cut myself off.

'I almost called her baby!?'

"Katherine." I finish.

"Whatever Alexander." She says rolling her eyes and walking up to her room.

KATHERINES POV

I walk into my room and lay down on my bed.

'He almost called me baby?'

I sigh and hear the front door open and close. I totally forgot about Connor! I quickly look out my window to see he's already looking I wave bye at him and he puts up the number seven for the date time. I smile and nod my head.

~~~

It was finally six o' clock and Elijah and Alexander were here. I told Elijah about the whole date with Connor and he agreed to help me sneak out and get away from Alexander.

"Are you getting ready?" Elijah asked me as I was standing in front of my closet.

"Yeah. I just don't know what to wear." I reply and he walks closer to me in a suit.

"Anything look beautiful on you." He states grabbing out a skirt and spaghetti strap along with a cardigan. "This is my suggestion."

"Thanks. You look handsome too." I wave my hand over his suit and he chuckles. "Thank you Elijah. Not just for letting me out on a date, but helping me and Gracie entirely." I give Elijah a big high then kiss his cheek.

"It's all my pleasure, Kat." Elijah says then walks out.

I take a quick shower, blow dry my hair, dry my body, do my make-up, brush my teeth, then get dressed putting on ballet flats. I look at myself in the long mirror I had, which surprised me because i actually looked decent. I went into Gracie's room to see her sound asleep, I gently kissed her forehead and headed down stairs to see Elijah talking to Alexander.

"She just needs a night out from being cooped up in here." Elijah says.

"Yeah, you mean go around like whore and fucking me, fucking you, and now that Connor guy?" Alexander spat.

"I would like for you to know I'm not a whore. At least Connor and Elijah cares for me and my child more than you ever could." I said leaving and slamming the door. I sit down on the front porch only for Connor to pull up and Elijah come out.

"Hey Connor!" Elijah shook his hand.

"Hey Elijah." Connor then looks at me and his eyes light up. "You look so beautiful." He says giving me kisses on my cheeks.

"Thanks a lot Elijah!" I give Elijah a hug and then we leave inside connors truck.

~~~

We arrived near a lake and he told me to close my eyes.

"We're almost there." Connor says holding my hand. I hear a loud sound and I jump. "Don't worry. Now open!" I open my eyes to see blankets and pillows in the back and a picnic basket.

"Oh wow!" I smile.

"Just for you." He reached out his hand for me to get on.

So that's how we spent our date, eating, looking st the moon and stars, and cuddling.

We got back home and I saw Alexander asleep on the couch with Gracie in his arms. I smile at the sight I see and grab Gracie from him, Alexander instantly got up and almost punched me!

"Sorry, I thought someone was trying to take her away from me." He sits back down and I smile.

"Thanks." I say and ruffle his hair. I set Gracie down in her crib before kissing her forehead gently. I went into my room and took a shower then took a quick shower putting on grey shorts and a black spaghetti strap.

I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I turned around to be face to face with Alexander.

"Goodnight." He said lowly. I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Night? I'll see you tomorrow." I say.

"I'm staying the night. Elijah had a date." I backed up because I didn't like the close proximity.

"You don't have to." I say. "You have a girlfriend of your own to take care of." I went back into my bathroom to braid my hair to the side.

"Look," he sighs and comes in "I lied: I don't have a girlfriend, or anyone. I just didn't want to-" I cut him off before he could hurt my feelings.

"I have to go to bed." I interrupt "I have a busy day tomorrow and I have to take care of Gracie. Goodnight." I said looking at him. He backed up slowly and then left my room to go down in the living room. And I went to sleep.
