Chapter 10

The month following her transition saw Elena learning how to be a vampire. The first thing that she was taught was how to control the bloodlust. It took her nearly two weeks to semi master her blood lust and she was quite proud of herself when she did not make a dive for the blood bag he had in his hands one morning.

"Much better, my lovely," he had praised her then handed the bag over. Instead of inhaling it like she had been she took small sips all the while savoring the flavor.

The rest of the month he taught her to fight and use her new skills. As an Original vampire she had a whole different set of skills than that of a regular vampire. He taught her compulsion which was kind of hard to do since there were no humans on the island; only themselves and the witches and they couldn't compel them even if they wanted to. However, she understood what she needed to do to actually compel someone if the need arose. He also taught her how to dream walk a special talent of his and one she excelled at almost from the start.

So now a month after her transformation she was able to sit with Melanie without wanting to rip into her.

"He has taught you well, Elena," she stated with a small smile.

"Yes, I would have to agree with you there," she gave a soft laugh.

"When do you plan to return to your hometown?" the elder witch asked as she eyes the young vampire before her.

"I don't know yet...honestly... I don't want to go back, but I can't keep him from the family he spent centuries trying to get back together. That would just be plain selfish of me. Yet, I am not yet ready to face those I left behind. Then there is one small detail I still have yet to understand about my ancestors words."

"And those would be?"

"She said I would give Rebekah a gift. A miracle really but only after receiving it first myself. How is that even possible? I know what it is I am to give her and I understand how but how I am going to be receiving it first?"

"And that gift is...?" though the witch already knew as she had already seen the event Elena spoke of in a vision.

"I am supposed to gift her with the ability to have children but only after I myself have been given that gift."

"Well, you said yourself you know how you are to gift it to her...so why is it so hard for you to believe that the same could happen to you?"

"Melanie, it's my blood she will need for such a miracle to occur!"

"Yes, I know that, so what don't you understand exactly?" Melanie asked confused.

"I...that is...I have to give it to both parties involved not just her. I have to give it to her partner as well."

Melanie smiled. She had an idea why Elena was having such a hard time wrapping her head around the possibility of herself becoming pregnant and how it would happen. But what the young vampire did not yet know was that she was already carrying Elijah's child within her. A child conceived the day after she had turned.

"Elena, there is something you need to know though I am sure you will figure it out in a few short weeks on your own..."

That caught Elena's attention instantly and she stared at the witch with curiosity. "What?"

"You already have been given the gift you will give your new sister," Melanie said cryptically.

Elena cocked her head as she stared at the older woman not grasping what she said and Melanie wasn't about to tell her directly what she meant by her words.

"Well, it' is time for you to head back to the villa," she said dismissing the young vampire moments later.

Elena walked back to the villa trying to figure out what Melanie had just revealed to her and then she stopped dead in her tracks her hand flying to her abdomen in shock. Could it be? Could she really be...her thoughts were all in a jumble by the time she walked into the villa to find her husband waiting for her.

He was a little shocked to see her furrowed brow and wondered what Melanie had said to her that had caused his wife such distress. "Lovely? Are you alright?" he asked pulling her into his embrace and simply held her.

Elena was still in shock. She was pregnant. She was carrying her husband's child within her at that very moment. A miracle in an of itself. She wondered briefly when it had happened but then she remembered their coming together right after her transformation and the blood sharing that had occurred during their lovemaking which caused her to blush as much as a vampire could at the memory. That had to be when it had happened. She barely registered her husband's words as she smiled to herself.

"Lena?"

Her nickname falling from his lips broke her out of her thoughts and she looked up at him a smile spreading over her face that made her glow. He briefly wondered what was happening before she took his hand in hers and placed it lovingly against her tummy. "I am perfectly fine, 'Lijah. I just discovered something a moment ago that has me in a bit of shock is all," she said softly.

He looked between his hand on her lower abdomen and then up into her beautiful brown eyes before glancing down once more before he realized what it was she was telling him without words. He immediately sought out her gaze wanting to see the truth of what he had discovered in her shinning orbs. She simply nodded a smile on her lips.

"You're...We..." he couldn't form a coherent sentence and it caused his wife to giggle.

"Yes, 'Lijah you are going to be a father," she stated grinning from ear to ear.

"Lena, you have just made me a very happy man," he returned with his own grin before picking her up and flashing them to their room.

"'Lijah..." she managed to get out after he laid her on their bed gently.

"Lay back and grab hold of the headboard, my lovely wife, I have every intention of worshiping every single tiny piece of flesh on your lovely body before this night is over with," he whispered against her lips before taking them in a passion filled kiss.

His words had her shivering with desire and she did as bid. Seeing that she was obeying his order, he went about doing what he told her he would. He started with his favorite part of her. Her delectable lips that he knew he would never tire of kissing. He kissed her until a moan was drawn her from then traced his lips down her pale throat to his mark that lay white against her olive complexion. His gently nipped the scar and it had her reacting just the way he knew it would. She arched into him nearly begging him to take her. "Patience, my lovely, I told you, I have every intention of tasting all of you before we are through."

She moaned knowing that with his vast stores of patience he would make her wait for her release and settled back and let him have his way.

Once she was once more relaxed he continued lower pulling her shirt off and out of his way as he continued down her torso. The rest of her clothes met the same fate moments later. His lips skimmed her ribs and then he planted himself firming between her legs so that his lips were even with her still flat tummy. He brought his hands up to caress the spot where their child lay within her. He had known that she would one day carry his child. The vision Arrisa had shown them had said as much, he had just not expected it to be this soon but he was no less happy about it. He was ecstatic that she was carrying his child. "Ég elska þig litla mín," he whispered against her tummy barley loud enough for her to hear what he said. He placed a gentle kiss where the child lay before moving on.

He continued on tasting her skin as he told her he would before turning her gently over and repeated the process to her otherside. She moaned as her need for him heightened and she tried to hold still but his slow seduction was killing her. She needed him, now.

"'Lijah...Please...I..." she stopped as he flipped her back over and hovered over her just as bare as she was and she wondered when he had removed his own clothing.

"Yes, my lovely, what do you need," he whispered hotly into her ear which made her writhe even more.

"You!" she nearly shouted when he smirked and then joined them together.

"Is this what you want my lovely wife?" he asked withdrawing slowly only to push forward at the same slow pace.

She cried out as he continued the slow assault on her senses. She needed him to move faster but he refused to budge. "Please..." she begged needing more than what he was giving her.

He could feel her tightening around him and finally gave in as he could feel his own approaching orgasm. She screamed as she fell over the edge after only a few hard strokes and he followed moments behind her.

When she was finally able to catch her breath she asked softy, "What did you whisper to our child a while ago?"

"I simply told him or her that I loved them, just as I am hopelessly in love with their beautiful mother," he said pulling her into his arms and gently caressed her face before kissing her sweetly.

"I love you too, Elijah."

"Sleep my lovely, I am far from finished with you," he whispered against her temple.

She let out a soft groan and he chuckled softly before joining her in slumber.
