Alex's P.O.V (Her Outfit ^^)

I have been avoiding Elijah all morning until Klaus came back to get me. I didn't want to leave Hope and Shawn, but then again I don't want to stay in the same house as Elijah. It's too awkward here. Shawn and Hope were in their play crib in the living room as I picked them up

"Hi, guys! Mama's here. Ooh!" I said to them and walked into the kitchen.

Remember how I said I was trying to avoid Elijah, well guess where he was. In the kitchen. Making breakfast. We look at each other and I thought he would kiss me, but instead Elijah just kissed Hope and Shawn's head before getting back to making eggs.

I placed Hope back in her play crib. I couldn't carry them both and open up the door. I sighed and walked over to the couch to grab Shawn's blanket, when I heard Klaus' car pull up. I heard Klaus and Cami's voices and I smiled. Good, I like Cami.

I opened the door and came out with Shawn in my arms, as Klaus walked up the steps and joined me on the porch. "Camille, this is Shawn and I'm sure his sister is in inside." Klaus said to her and Cami was absolutely stunned. She looked at Klaus and I in confusion before turning her focus back on Shawn.

"Oh my god! But - You said - I thought they were -?" Cami asked shocked and I smiled. Klaus didn't take his eyes off his son while he talked to Cami.

"The only way to truly protect them was to convince the world of their death." Klaus explained and I smiled kindly at him, but Klaus looked awkward as he turned back to Cami. "I hope you understand, once it is safe for you to leave here, this secret cannot leave with you."

Cami, clearly happy at this revelation, nodded in a understanding way. She smiled at Shawn with tears in her eyes before she walked past Klaus to see Shawn for herself. Shawn grabbed her finger and cooed at her, and Cami and I both giggled.

"Oh, he's perfect!" Cami said and we laughed.

After Klaus, Cami, and Elijah talked. Klaus said goodbye to Hope and Shawn. Shawn was asleep again and Cami walked over to where Hope and I were standing. I hand Hope over, since Klaus was waiting in the car, and gave her a list.

"Here's Hope and Shawn's schedule. Elijah knows it like the back of his hand if you get confused." I said and Cami nodded while Hope cooed at her. I'm happy they all got along, Cami was one of my closest friends.

"You and Elijah don't seem to be talking." Cami said and I sighed.

"That's because Elijah apparently has feeling for me and I don't know how to process it yet." I explained, not taking my eyes off of Hope.

"What?" Cami asked.

"Oh, yeah, Elijah kissed me last night after I explained I was getting married to his little brother...that he knows I'm in love with." I said and looked at her.
