(as most of everyone wanted to see how this would truly end and just leaving the ending the way it was…there were two ways for me to write this part but after asking Lab7417-we both thought that this was the better way so enjoy this Elejah goodiness!)


Part II

Three years, that's all it took for him to get Elena back and her son James who he adopted, was amazing though he was beginning to have Mikaelson features on him.

Today however, was a special day. The courtyard was dressed up for a Christmas wedding-on Christmas Eve. There was festooned mistletoe hanging over where he and Elena were going to stand, holly leaves and garland in silver and green were hanging off the balconies and everything looked…beautiful. Elijah was grinning as his tuxedo had a sprig of holly mixed with mistletoe.

"Daddy…why do I gotta dress up?" James asked as he tugged at the collar of his button up shirt.

"Today me and your mommy are getting married." He told him. "Don't you want to walk down the red aisle and give us the rings? Walking next to Hope?"

The boy pouted, barely getting along with the six year old as she was-in his words-too spoiled. He got along better with Raiden who was also pouting at the fact he was dressed in a tuxedo.


The women were getting dressed-and the only women who were in the room with Elena were Rebekah and Davina as Hayley refused to be a part of it.

She was still carrying a torch for Elijah until it was discovered that he couldn't love her-not the way that he loves Elena.

Elena herself was smiling in her gown-a design by Rebekah created just for her. The material was soft and billowy, going off her shoulders and making her look ethereal in the soft shade. Her hair was down and half was pinned to the side in curls while her face had make up in lighter shades that went well with her skin tone.

Atop of her head was a wreath of holly and snowdrop flowers, pinned to her veil that fell to her elbows in a delicate lace.

"Thank you both for making this day come true." She said, smiling with tears in her eyes.

Rebekah shook her head.

"You made him more alive again…he's like what he was a thousand years ago." Rebekah told her. "He's my big brother and you made him happy. I'll be proud to call you my sister."

That made Davina stare at her. The only other time Rebekah had said anything nice about her brothers' better halves was when she herself was going to marry Kol a year ago.

Rebekah never said anything like that to Bonnie and barely tolerated her ex-sister-in-law even after Raiden was born.

Hayley was a different matter altogether once she married Jackson when Hope was barely a year old. She tolerated not only the hybrid but the hybrid's pack and the girl.

The reason why she tolerated Hayley was because Hayley tried seducing Elijah while he was depressed about someone he adored in Mystic Falls who died in his arms and then Hayley tried taking Hope away from New Orleans.

If the two did speak, the vampire was always speaking in a harsh tone to the hybrid girl.

"If I had a sister, it would be you." Elena told her with a smile lighting her face.

"After today, I'll be your sister." Rebekah reminded her. "Now no crying! I don't think that mascara's waterproof!"


Those who were in attendance to the wedding-Bonnie and her fiancé Enzo, Caroline and her husband Alaric Saltzman (which surprised everyone) as well as their twin daughters, Marcel and his vampires, Jackson and Mary (as Hayley opted out of going to the wedding) for the Crescent Pack, and those vampires and witches who were allies to the Mikaelson clan.

The minute the song came through the speakers-the three bridesmaids came out with Rebekah and Davina first on Kol's arms and Freya followed on Finn's.

Behind them were their two ring bearers and Hope in her poufy white princess dress, wearing a smirk or a smile on her face.

As soon as the music changed, everyone stood up to see Klaus walking down the aisle with Elena on his arm and Elijah desired her even more, looking as beautiful as she did the day he met her.


The ceremony went off without a hitch and no one objected to them marrying. Since she didn't have a father for the father-daughter dance, Finn decided to dance with her and he smiled.

"He's happier than ever." He whispered. "I'm glad that you both make each other that happy."

She was smiling.

"This is my happily ever after. He's my white knight." She told him as he spun her.


"Can you believe that we're a real family now?" Elena asked her husband as they danced.

"It's a dream come true." He whispered to her. "I'm thankful that I have you right here in my arms. You and James mean the world to me."

The End
