"Keeping an eye out."
______

He nodded.

"Mm, want some company?"

"Yeah sure."

Frankie walked over to join him.

He watched the sky.

"Something on your mind?"

"Not really."

"How's Ana doing?"

"She's really not well, her strength is gone, I don't know what to do."

"Any clue as to what's wrong with her?"

He shook his head.

"She could be pregnant."

Stefan spun on his heel. To face Alice who was walking to them in her robe.

"That's what I was thinking as well."

Stefan was gone before either Alice or Frankie had time to blink. "Well that was fast."

He chuckled lightly. "Never seen him move so fast."

She smiled. "I know right."

Stefan got into their room, and he looked to check if she was awake.

He chuckled lightly.

Ana was awake, curled up beneath a blanket on the bed.

"I think we need to talk." Stefan told her.

Alice smiled and she walked over to him. "What's kept you awake?"

"What about?" she whispered softly, reaching out a hand from underneath the blanket for his.

"I don't know, I just couldn't sleep."

He told her what Alice had said.

She nodded slightly.

He looked at her.

"Maybe?" she finally managed in a quiet whisper.

"Should we check?"
