Chapter 4
Rebekah couldn't say anything so great was her shock. She stood there with a hand over her mouth and just stared at Elena for a long moment. Elijah was going to be a father, Elena was carrying her niece and best of all that meant Ayana's writings were true - originals truly were special vampires and they could have children. When she had read the text she had hoped that maybe it was true and she and Stefan might be able to have a family.
Why then in a thousand years had none of her brothers ever fathered a child? Now here was the proof before her. The fact that Elijah was going to be a father made her smile and a tear escaped her eye. Elijah would be a wonderful father and he would love and cherish this child and Elena; of that Rebekah had no doubts.
Elena's concerns would have been valid only a few months ago and they would still need to be cautious but they were stronger now. Elijah was well protected and it went without saying that Elena and the baby would be as well. Elena was carrying the next Mikaelson.
Rebekah enveloped her in a fierce hug and held her tightly.
"You don't know how happy this makes me - how happy it will make him! The prophecy is true and members with pure Mikaelson blood in their veins can have children!" Rebekah gasped carefully keeping her voice low so the conversation would remain with them. "He loves you Elena - you know that right? He loves you and he will love this baby, always and forever."
"Wait? What prophecy are you talking about?" Elena looked at her before her eyes widened. "He WHAT?"
