Four

Ana pulled back from Elijah's arms and looked into his hazel-brown eyes. She had started to notice that there were times his eyes were hazel almost green but then there were times that they were a light brown. Elijah was also examining Ana's eyes and found that her eyes changed color. There were times that they were a blue-green and other times a hazel color.

"I'm still pissed at your brother," she said bringing her hands to his face.

"Believe me you are not the only one angry at my brother," Elijah said smiling wrapping his hands in her blonde curls.

Ana initiated the kiss and sighed in relief when he kissed back. Soon the kiss turned, hungry passionate as Elijah took her clothes off and she struggled to get his suit off until finally he lay her on the bed and finished taking his clothes off himself. Ana ran her hands over the hard planes of Elijah's chest as the vampire settled over her. She gasped as she felt the bond flare and her powers surge turning her eyes a red color and she was glad that this wouldn't hurt him. Elijah felt something stir in him, something animalistic over the power his mate portrayed and he pulled her into a kiss as he gently entered her causing her to gasp.

The last time between them had been fast and passionate not that it still wasn't good but this time was different, it was slow though still passionate and full of emotion. Ana arched her neck and groaned in pleasure when Elijah bit down taking a drink of her sweet fiery blood. Neither of them lasted long and soon the two mates reached completion solidifying their bond was gone. Ana curled up laying her head Elijah's chest as he ran a hand through her hair. She closed her eyes a smile on her face as she was reunited with her mate and felt a hand protectively on her stomach.

Ana pulled her wet hair into a bun as the morning sun shined through her window. Elijah had already woken up and explained to her about the Harvest ritual leaving her disgusted and stunned. He went downstairs to read through his mother's spellbook while she took a shower. She walked downstairs wearing her grey jeans that Rebekah had gotten for her from a maternity store out of town and a black tank top as her bare feet annoyanced her presence to Klaus and her mate.

"Are you done being mad at me love about daggering my brother?" Klaus asked with a smirk.

Ana narrowed her eyes angry that he expected her to just get over it. She heard Hayley come up to stand behind her to show that she backed the phoenix up which Ana appreciated. She smirked as a fireball grew in her hand and she threw it at Klaus making him jump up as part of his shirt caught on fire.

"You daggered her mate and left her alone pregnant. She is not just going to get over that and I suggest you leave her alone Klaus," Hayley said following Ana into the kitchen.

Ana smiled at Hayley in thanks as the girl squeezed her shoulder walking past her to the fridge. Unlike her Hayley did not have morning sickness anymore though this morning she didn't feel sick so she figured that she felt that way because Elijah had been gone and hoped that now that he was back the sickness would go away.

"Thanks for backing me up," Ana said knowing that Hayley had feelings for Klaus.

"No problem us pregnant girls gotta stick together," Hayley said just as Elijah stepped into the kitchen.

Elijah wrapped an arm around Ana placing a hand on her stomach and admired the friendship between her and Hayley. He was glad that she was not alone while dealing with his brother. Klaus seemed to be under the impression that giving him an innocent girl to drink from would make up for what he did but he was sadly mistaken. He was taken away from his child and mate so he had a right to be angry though he still loved his little brother.

"Hey I know that besides Ana, I'm the only one that eats human food but could it kill you guys to remember to add milk to the shopping list," Hayley complained pulling out ice cream which Ana smiled.

Ana walked over to Hayley and grabbed the chocolate ice cream bars while Hayley stuck with the vanilla ice cream. They were stopped though by Elijah pulling out two bowls and pouring some cereal into them and they both smiled when they saw milk. Ana kissed him on the cheek in thanks as she grabbed her bowl and started eating while listening to the conversation.

"I'm worried about you being bound to Sophie Deveraux especially now that we know the whole truth," Elijah said.

"Yeah don't forget the witches that tried to kill both of us," Ana stated still upset about that.

"At least with you it was just because he's the father," Hayley said pointing at Elijah, "with me it's because they think my baby is the anti-christ or something."

"Yes well I plan to have that taken care of soon enough," Elijah said angry that someone went after his mate and child.

"Lovely who do we have to kill?" Rebekah said walking back in.

"Nobody," Elijah said but then saw the looks all of them gave him, "okay probably everyone."

Ana watched her mate leave with a smirk not feeling bad for the witches one bit. She felt bad for Rebekah who had to stay and babysit them though she laughed at Klaus' anger over being ordered around by Elijah but it was the least he deserved. Hayley came over and lay her head on her shoulder while Rebekah finished cleaning up the body and blood left from that poor girl.

~The Poisoned Fruit~

Ana grew concerned when Hayley was pricked in the neck and was suspicious. She knew that it had something to do with Sophie and was concerned. Ana sent a look to Rebekah as she sat Hayley down and threw her blonde curls over one shoulder as she cleaned the blood off though luckily she didn't need a bandaid. Rebekah came back in with a glass of water and handed it to Hayley and Ana saw the blonde vampire was just as concerned as she was.

"I'm honestly fine guys. I think this has something to do with Sophie though," Hayley said leaning forward.

"Well Elijah would kill me if either one of you got hurt on my watch," Rebekah said hands on her hips.

"I don't think he would kill you for something you couldn't control now Klaus he might kill hell I might just kill him," Ana said still angry.

"Whoa," Hayley said as she collapsed back against the chair.

"You're burning up," Rebekah said growing concerned.

An hour later Ana and Rebekah had helped Hayley lay down on her bed as they kept her cool with cold washcloths and the phoenix growled when Sophie walked in because she did not want to deal with witches right now. She listened smirking when Elijah informed the witch that the link between Sophie and Hayley was going to be broken and was glad that Sophie was getting treated like dirt after everything that had happened. She didn't like it when innocent people were used especially an unborn child. Night had come and Rebekah came back with the herbs Sophie needed. Elijah and Ana helped Hayley outside to the pool and the phoenix jumped into the pool not caring if her clothes got wet and helped Hayley in as Sophie came to hand her the herbs. All Ana knew was that if Hayley or this baby was hurt Sophie would not like what she did. Elijah came up to Hayley's other side helping her hold Hayley and try to calm her heart rate.

"Hayley you need to calm down okay," Ana pleaded concerned for her friend.

"I don't want to lose her," Hayley cried trying to catch her breath.

"We just need to give Davina enough time okay so breathe with me," Ana ordered holding her friend tighter in her arms as Elijah held her bridal style so she wouldn't sink.

Ana was growing seriously concerned for her friend as Hayley clutched her stomach and prayed to any God that existed to help her friend. Someone must have heard her because suddenly Hayley could breath and Sophie told them that she felt lighter. Ana watched as Sophie pricked her hand and nothing happened to Hayley making the phoenix happy and a little smug. Before Sophie could say anything Ana turned and punched her in the face hearing her nose break.

"You ever threaten anyone I care about again you're going to get more than a broken nose you bitch," Ana growled out as she helped Hayley out though she felt a fondness through her bond with Elijah.

"Elijah please don't let Klaus kill Agnes," Sophie begged and Ana rolled her eyes because she was getting annoying.

"I give you my word my brother will not touch Agnus," Elijah said walking into the house and Ana smirked because Elijah hadn't said anything about him touching Agnus.

Ana left Hayley to get changed and walked into her room with Elijah to see him not wearing a suit for once though he still looked attractive. He was wearing fancy boots, dark jeans, a dark blue shirt and pulling on a coat. He turned to smile at her but she was still wet so she didn't hug him.

"Don't let her get away with hurting Hayley or me," Ana requested.

"She won't," Elijah said kissing her quickly as he left.

Ana smiled as she went to take a shower and get the pool water off of her. She knew that her mate would make sure that the witch couldn't hurt her or Hayley ever again. Elijah always kept his word and Klaus would not touch Agnus but that didn't mean that Elijah himself wouldn't take care of the bitch. Ana almost wished she could be there to see what happened but was content with the knowledge that Elijah was taking care of everything and protecting his family just as he always would.
