Age 3:
ELIJAH,
"Come now Theodore, it's time for lunch," I told my young nephew, being three he didn't care for anything but play. Therefore, I was not surprised when he glared at me, crossing his arms and said,
"No, not hungry."
Theodore hasn't been eating much lately, and it was worrying everyone, Rebekah found that he was just stubborn for us because he will eat whatever she gives him.
"Well little boy, you didn't eat much at breakfast, and haven't had anything since then, so yes, it's time to eat, unless you want to take a nap?"
That got him, Theodore's deep green-blue eyes looked at me, giving me a look that I just could not be reprimanded. "no, Uncle Lijah," He sniffled. He leaned his head on my shoulder and hugged me. Damn this child can just be too cute.
In the kitchen, I set him in his high chair. Being three, he is somewhat small for his age. He just looked at the soup in front of him, and from what he told me he likes tomato soup and grilled cheese.
Kol walked in and looked at him, "What's up love?"
"Not hungry and Uncle LIjah is making me eat."
"Oh, you know I would best do what he tells yah, you see when I refused to eat, he held me down and made sure I ate even if he had to spoon feed me."
Theodore's eyes widened and looked a little scared.
"Kol, enough, leave him be."
Kol stool and smiled at him, "I'm just joking mate, but you should eat just a little."
I sighed, "Five bits of soup and I want half of your grilled cheese eaten, and you are free to play."
Happy with the compromise Theodore ate. After was when he started trouble.
"Alright, I need to clean up in here, why don't you play in the lounge."
"But I wanna play outside." Theodore stopped his foot. Klaus walked in at that time.
"What's going on?"
"I wanna play outside," Theodore told his father. Seeing how it was raining now I didn't think he should, Klaus agreed with me.
Theodore went into a full tantrum. Yelling, crying, kicking and then he bit Kol who picked him up.
"THEODORE!" Klaus yelled. Theodore stopped instantly, scared. From what I understand, Klaus never raised his voice at Theodore like that. Theodore being three buried in tears and cried into Kol's shirt.
"Teddy is tired," Rebekah said walking into the kitchen with some bags.
Klaus walked over to Theodore and picked him up. "I'll take him upstairs for his nap."
I looked at the clock it was one in the afternoon. The rain turned into hail.
"I need to get some things from the store, Kol joins me."
"Didn't you just come from the store?"
"I came from the hardware store; now it's the market. Let's go." Rebekah said she looked at me.
"Well come on, you too."
"Why?"
"Theodore can hear everyone here, and he is not calming anytime soon. So, let him sleep or try and sleep, Klaus is here, and we are fine."
That said we left in the SUV to the market. While I got my jacket I could hear Klaus talking to his son.
