Chapter 10

"Well did you find her?" Klaus asked. He had been curious since they had departed. "Did you work out what all the drama was?"

"Where's Elijah?" Kol asked.

"Where's Bonnie?"

"She's having a good day so Caroline took her out shopping," Kol said.

"We found Elena...she's going to be coming to the wedding but..." Rebekah looked at Stefan with a look that read 'help'.

"Elena's in a very delicate situation at the moment." Stefan sighed. "Elijah's going to take care of her."

"How delicate is her situation?" Kol asked, now bored.

"She's carrying our niece you prick! Elijah's daughter!" Rebekah growled at Kol's obvious boredom. "My goddaughter!"

"Elena's pregnant?" That certainly roused Kol's attention, "and not to sound rude but we're sure it's Elijah's?"

"Positive," Rebekah replied.

"Do you realize what this means?" Kol was now overjoyed. "We can tell Bonnie that the prophecy is true! Plus you and Stefan can make me uncle," he turned to Klaus, "and you can have six or seven with Caroline!" Like Elijah and Rebekah, Kol prized his family very much and had often entertained the thought of having his own - even more so since Bonnie had come into his life. "Anything she wants or needs count me in!"

"At the moment, she needs to fix up Alexia's nursery." Both Klaus and Kol stared at her. "Our niece's name is Alexia."

Klaus and Kol nodded.

"Do you know where she lives?" Klaus asked.

"She lives in the house where we first met Elijah." Stefan answered.

The next morning Elena got the shock of her life when she found that her nursery had been invaded by Klaus who was painting away while down the hall Kol was assembling baby furniture - including the beautiful crib that Elena had fallen in love with in her wish book. Kol stopped when he glanced up and then got a good look at her. A moment later he flashed before her.

"Good morning Elena," he greeted her with a smile. He couldn't stop looking at her in utter amazement and excitement.

"Good morning Kol...how are you?"

"Very well thank you," he smiled. "Can I get you something? You should get off your feet. Oh and I brought you something. It's for Alexia." He handed her a Winnie the Pooh bear.

She stared curiously at him and at the bear.
