027: Kill or Be Killed

Since Monique is still our of town for her family member's funeral, Blake brings Grayson with her to the public park. She and Gray rode with Mason, who has some boxes for the volunteer day in the back of his Bronco. Carol Lockwood is at the gazebo, giving her speech.

Mason grabs some boxes from his truck while Blake holds Grayson close.

"Stefan, right?" Mason asks as the youngest Salvatore brother walks up. "One of the other Salvatore's."

"The nice one," Stefan replies. "The one offering an apology."

"Not interested," Mason replies.

"Look, my brother acted impulsively," Stefan claims.

"You think?" Blake scoffs.

Stefan ignores her and talks to Mason ; "If you and Aidem are at each other's throats, somebody innocent is going to get hurt and I don't want that. You have family here, so I can imagine you wouldn't want that, either. So, what do you say we quit this whole alpha male fighting thing and call a truce?"

"I made the same offer to your brother," Mason tells Stefan. "He turned it down with a knife."

"He made a mistake," Stefan says. "I'm here ti make sure that neither one of you make another one. There's a baby around now."

Mason looks over at Grayson and back at Stefan. "Tell your brother to watch his back." He goes to walk.

Stefan catches his arm. "Well, I'm guessing that he only had to worry about that during a full moon. Otherwise, you're not as strong, am I right? Or you would have killed Aiden by mown there's one of you. There's three of us." He means Damon, too. "I think you're the one that needs to watch his back."

"If he comes at me..."

"He won't."

Mason shakes his hand. "Blake, you two comin'?"

Blake nods and she follows Mason, who is carrying some boxes; right as they walk away, Damon and Aiden approach Stefan.

"Oh, my goodness!" Carol coos as she walks up to Blake. "Is this your son I've been hearing about?"

"Yes, this is John Grayson Gilbert," Blake introduces. "He's been going by Grayson or Gray."

"Can I hold him?" Carol asks happily.

Blake nods and she carefully placed Grayson in Carol's arms. Mason is telling Liz about the Salvatore brothers being vampires. He says nothing about Blake. He might not be faithful to her, but he does really like her. She is nothing like the Salvatore's, she's a good mother, and she's been a damn good girlfriend.

"Oh, hi, John," Carol coos. "Is it alright if I just call him John?"

"That's fine; John is his name," Blake replies.

"Hi, John," Carol coos again. "You're so handsome! Yes, you are. Yes, you are."

Grayson smiles up at her, his gummy smile makes Carol's hormones cry and she smiles, tears pooling in her eyes.

Liz walls over after having an awkward conversation with Aiden. "Oh, hi."

"This is John, hes Blake's son," Carol coos, Blake is with Mason. "I told her I'd watch over him."
