Sorry, I updated too late, but I forgot in the morning.
Chapter Twelve
He walked towards the lake and was stopped by Rebekah.
"What do you think of her?"
"Rebekah, who are you talking about?" Elijah asked.
"The newcomer, Lijah." Rebekah asked.
"Ah. Elena." Elijah said. "She's, she's beautiful."
"That little twink says it all." Rebekah said. "I wouldn't mind calling her sister."
He heard the twins cries. He turned around towards the hut and he saw her come out. He walked towards her.
"Let me help you." Elijah said.
The twins as soon as they heard his voice stopped crying. Rebekah left them alone.
"I should go back to my own hut. I overstayed too long." Elena said.
He felt more and more attached to her and her daughters. He wanted to call them his own. He accompanied her to her hut. He went back to his. The sun was already setting up.
"Elijah, please go and check in on Elena." Esther said.
"Yes Mother."
He was getting close to her hut when she saw her talking with one of the neighbors and he could hear the twins were starting to cry. He could feel an anger rising. He walked up to her.
"Is something wrong?" Elijah asked.
Once again the twins calmed down when they heard Elijah's voice. Elijah got Elif out of Elena's arm.
"No, I was just asking her if she needed something."
Knut left leaving them alone.
"Let's go inside." Elijah said.
He let her walked first towards the hut. She opened the door and walked in first. She lost her balance and he prevented her falling. He felt electricity all over him. They put the twins down in the crib his father had made for them. He couldn't help it but he kissed her. She moved closer to him and the kiss deepened.
"I should had not done that." Elijah said as he began to dress.
"I have to tell you a secret. I hope you keep it too." Elena said. "I'd wish you remembered me. Elijah, I'm from the future. The reason why the twins stop crying when you or your siblings are around is because they are your daughters."
She began to dress.
"Elena, I don't know what to say." Elijah said. "I need to go. Is there anything you need?"
"No."
He noticed her face changed. He now understood why he was so drawn to them.
"I don't have much time to speak right now, Elena."
"I know."
He said goodbye and left her alone. He made sure everything was alright before he headed to his hut. He told his parents that he made sure she was okay before leaving her. He got ready to go to sleep but he couldn't sleep. He kept thinking about her and how she felt against his skin. He felt like she belonged with him. The next morning he got up before everyone else. He changed into his clothes and walked outside. Henrik walked outside.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes." Elijah said. "Why are you awake so early?"
"Are you going to marry her? I hope you do."
Elijah was about to respond when Esther called for them for breakfast. After breakfast Esther sent him to check up on Elena. He walked towards Elena's hut. He was getting close when he noticed her coming from the lake carrying water and the twins. He had to admit that she looked weird how she was carrying the twins.
"Let me help you."
"I'm almost there." Elena said.
"Elena, let it go."
"Okay." Elena said giving it to him. "Good morning."
He got the bucket of water from her.
"Good morning." He said and smiled.
"What's so funny?" Elena asked.
"The way you're carrying Elif and Lia."
"I had to figure out a way to carry them and bring water." Elena replied.
She opened the door, walked in and then let him walk in. Elena told him where to put the water as she closed the door. The twins were sleeping. Elijah helped her with the twins. She then placed them on the crib.
"Do you feel it too?" Elijah asked her.
"Feel what?" Elena questioned back.
"The connection, like a pull." Elijah said.
"Yes." Elena replied. "I hate being separated from you."
He pulled her closer to him. He kissed her. He wasn't ready to let her go.
"Marry me." Elijah said.
"Yes."
"I'll talk to my parents."
"You should go before they notice how long you have been here." Elena said as she dressed.
"You are right." Elijah said as he finished dressing. "I'll help you putting the fire outside."
"Thank you."
He walked out and nobody seemed to notice. He started the fire for her and let her know he was leaving, if she needed something she knew where to find him. He left. He didn't want to do it.
"Why did you take so long?" Esther asked.
"I helped her carry water. She had wrapped the twins around herself and was having difficulty carrying the water and I put the fire outside her hut."
"Oh." Esther said. "Why didn't she call for help?"
"She didn't want to ask." Elijah replied. "Mother, I want to marry her."
Esther smiled. "Go and help your Father, tell him what you want."
"Yes Mother."
He was grateful she didn't ask for more details. He went to where his father was. He had sent his siblings somewhere else.
"Father, I want to marry her." Elijah said.
"Does your Mother know?" Mikael asked him.
"Yes she does."
"What am I asking? I know your Mother approves." Mikael said and looked at him. "Yes you can marry her."
They continued to work in silence until Henrik called for them.
"Mother is calling." He said and turned around to leave.
Mikael sent Elijah for his brothers. He couldn't deny how happy he was.
"You seem happy." Finn said.
"Does a certain brunette has something to do with it?" Klaus questioned.
"Of course it does." Kol replied.
~*~TVD~*~
"Mother wants for you to join us for dinner." Rebekah said grabbing Elif.
"Okay." Elena said picking up Lia.
They walked out of the hut and towards Mikael's hut. When they got there, Finn, Klaus, Kol and Elijah were getting there already. They talked about preparing for a wedding. They would do a small ceremony for Elijah and Elena. She was beyond happy. They would do it the following day. After dinner she headed home. The following morning she was woken up by Rebekah and Freya's knocking. They were going to help her get ready for the day. Elena wished Caroline and Bonnie were here with her.
"You're ready." Freya said.
They did a small Viking ceremony for them, only a few people had been invited to the wedding. Elijah had made sure Knut heard about the wedding.
"I love you, Elijah."
"I love you, too."
He kissed her and began to undress her. The following morning they were going to have breakfast with his family. The girls made noises when they saw Elena and Elijah but didn't want to go with them. They were carried by Mikael. Elena and Elijah stayed with them celebrating their wedding and after dinner they headed towards now their own hut.
"I'm not ready for you to go just yet." Elijah said.
"Then I won't go." Elena said.
Elena noticed how hard it was to tell time. She had waited until Elijah had gone to work with his father to go to Esther's hut. She noticed the smell and began to vomit.
"I think you're with child." Esther said. "That's how I felt with Elijah."
Esther checked her.
"Yes, you're with child and you're having a boy."
Elena smiled.
"Thank you." Elena said. "I should go back and begin to get ready to go to the caves."
She said goodbye and headed to her hut she shared with Elijah. She had just gotten there and placed the girls in their crib when Elijah arrived. She was too happy. He walked towards her and gave her a kiss.
"Lijah, were growing in numbers. I am with child."
He picked her and gave her a spin and she giggled. He kissed her again.
"Then don't go just yet."
"You know my answer." Elena said. "Not yet but first we need to get ready for the caves."
She sometimes wished they were already vampires so they wouldn't go and hid in the caves but then she remembered that Henrik died.
"I know you hate it and I do too."
They got ready and then headed towards his parents hut to go to the caves. It was already night time and she couldn't sleep, all she could feel was the need to vomit. The following morning, they picked up and headed home. Rebekah and Freya had helped her cook. She was getting better.
"I know I'm not good at this, Lijah." Elena said.
"You're getting better." Elijah said.
She just smiled. It had been nine moons already. It was already time. No medication, she hadn't thought about that.
"Lijah, go for your Mother. It's time." She replied.
He woke up and got dressed, ran towards his parents hut to wake them up.
"You wait outside." Esther said. "Take the girls with you."
It had been long hours of pain. She had lost count, but she finally heard his cry. Their little man. Esther had cleaned him and brought him to her.
"He looks so much like his Father." Elena said.
"Yes but in blonde version."
Elena giggled at Freya's statement. Few seconds later, Elijah walked in.
"Meet our son." Elena said handing him the little bundle. "What should we name him?"
"Aksel." He said.
She liked the name. He kissed her. Elena little by little she started moving around. Freya and Rebekah would take turns helping her around until she would get better. Elena knew it was a matter of time before she had to go back. If she stayed she would change their history and that wouldn't be good. It had already been three moons. There was nothing better than being in his arms, but she needed to do it.
"Lijah, it's time."
Neither of them was ready. He simply nodded and kissed her. She got her kids, closed her eyes and touched her necklace. When she opened her eyes she was already in the future and all her family was there.
"You're back!" Caroline said. "Longest week ever."
The girls went towards Elijah and didn't want to separate from him.
"He's the cutest thing." Bonnie said.
"What's his name?" Care questioned.
"Aksel Erik." Elena replied.
Rebekah laughed.
"What's so funny?" Caroline asked.
"No medication."
Caroline's eyes widened.
"Oh hours, I lost count after three hours." Elena said. "Never again in the past."
"Hmm sounds like someone is pregnant." Freya replied.
Elena looked at Elijah as it was news to him.
"I didn't want to tell you because if I did you would ask me to stay, I would ended up staying. I didn't want to change our history together."
"I understand."
The girls starting talking to Elijah.
"What are they talking?" Bonnie asked.
"Old Norse." Elena replied. "Basically, 'I love you, Daddy'."
"OH."
"Let's go guys. He's sending the message loud and clear." Freya said.
"That means no more wedding." Rebekah said.
"Come on, Rebekah." Freya said.
They all left leaving them alone. Elijah had gotten up and kissed her.
"I've missed you!" Elijah said.
She blushed.
"Come, I have a surprised for you." Elijah said.
She followed him to the room next to the twins rooms. He opened the door and let her go in first.
"Oh. I love it." Elena said. She placed her little boy in the crib Elijah had done for him when she was in the past.
They gave the twins a bath and soon after they fell asleep. It gave them time to talk about things until their little boy woke up. Elijah went for him.
"I already changed his diaper and got rid of that cloth thing." Elijah said.
"Thank you." Elena replied getting Aksel.
She began to breastfeed him and she began to sing to him and it was time to switch.
"It's easier with one." Elena said.
Okay, so what ya think?
