He watched her as she slept the early morning sunshine making her look angelic - smiling as he realized their child was already growing within her thanks to the powerful spell. He tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear and her eyes fluttered open. Elijah leaned down and kissed her rosy-hued lips. She smiled back at him and then stared at him.

"Why are you smiling at me like that?" She asked as she was just about to stretch.

"Is a man not allowed to smile at the mother of his child in such a manner?" He became a little worried as her face froze in shock.

"What did you just say?" she whispered the words.

"You're pregnant lovely." She turned into him and stared into his glowing eyes.

"Elijah..." She wanted to say that it was probably a beautiful dream that he had when he shook his head.

"I said you're pregnant - only since last night so just a little bit but carrying my child all the same." Her face lit with delight and she bolted upright in bed. Her lips met with his and then she hugged him.

"Elijah you don't know what this means to me..."

"I think I do," he said gently as he stroked her hair.

"Elijah I love you."

"I love you Elena. You're happy then?"

"There is nothing anyone else could give me that would mean more or make me happier than this," Elena said and her hand subconsciously lay on her flat abdomen where deep within their child lay.

"I love you so much Elijah." She said softly into his skin and even a sand blaster wouldn't be able to get the smile off her face from his reply.

"I love you so much more my Lovely Elena."

It was such a beautiful morning despite being early November that everyone in Rebekah's house that happened to be invited in and also were male were getting everything ready for the 'fabulous' baby shower that Caroline was throwing.

Elena had wanted to help by doing some of the decorations but as Rebekah, Stefan, Elijah and Caroline had put their feet down on it, she baked them chocolate macaroons and many other sweet and chocolate treats that she was pigging out on with Rebekah.

"Are you sure that you're going to be alright?" Elijah asked Elena one more time before he left to change out of his suit and into a fresh one that wasn't covered in pink glitter.

"Yes," Elena told him warmly as she pulled him down to her and kissed him as deeply as she could. Apparently, Elena just craved chocolate and anything sweet during her pregnancy as well as Elijah. "I promise that I'll be fine and I won't leave the couch."

He nodded and kissed her again before placing his hands on her abdomen where their baby was. Smiling at her, he straightened up and left with Kol, Stefan and Klaus following behind him.

Bonnie shook her head and began to magically lift three banners while Caroline was getting the plates covered in many of the chocolates and sweets from Sucré that she had the guys go and buy for them. There were also Caroline's famous deviled eggs and Bonnie's awesome salads and sandwiches in between Kol's beignets that were lightly coated in powdered sugar. Everything was set. Caroline decided to start the gifting and had given Rebekah a basket filled with cute baby things.

"This dress…and these pants…oh my god! She has baby versions of all of my clothes!" Rebekah ended up crying and hugging Caroline while admiring all of them. Elena giggled and handed her a box.

"It's nothing bad." She said when Bonnie looked a bit worried. "This is a gift from Auntie Elena and Uncle Elijah." She added. Tearing into it, Rebekah's tears were non-stop. There were a few picture frames filled with pictures of the whole family back in 1919 and during the ball that the family had a while ago. There were also photo albums that said 'baby's first photo book' and three pink leather jackets.

"He picked out the books-I picked out the jackets." Elena had a cheeky grin reminiscent of Kol's but her eyes were as bright as Elijah's when he shows his emotions.

"They're beautiful!" She was holding her pregnant sister to be and suddenly, Elena's hormones got the better of her and she began crying as well. Bonnie was staring at them before looking at Caroline who mouthed, "hormones."

Bonnie nodded and handed Rebekah another basket filled with more clothes and a few witchy talismans for the baby to choose from. Rebekah was still crying as she was holding up a homemade dream catcher.

"Yes... I understand that the place needs much work done...thank you Charles for this great news." Klaus said before hanging up and smirking at the men who were in his house. "Bekah has that building."

Elijah nodded and was slumped in the club chair that Klaus had with a tumbler filled halfway with bourbon while they played poker with Kol and Stefan.

"She loves that place." Kol said smirking at them before his smirk looked devilish. "Though poor Stefan having to live with two females...it'll be hard."

"Just because he makes girls does not mean anything." Elijah got out as he wondered what his baby would be.

"I agree Kol," Klaus said as he began to dial Caroline's number. "I agree. He will have it rough."

The phone rang at the baby shower and Caroline answered it before placing it on speaker.

"I decided that since we have a niece on the way," Klaus' voice was soft and filled with brotherly concern. "That one thing that you wanted when we lived here many years ago is yours." Silence reigned a moment before the crying commenced anew.

"Thank you Nik!" she cried. Panic rose within him.

"Oh god! Are you hurt?" he was scared. Caroline decided to soothe his nerves.

"No-as Bekah's pregnant with Kayleigh Stefine-" she got out when Kol spoke.

"Stefine!" They all could hear the laughter bubbling forth. The sound of a neck snapping was heard and Klaus murmured, "bloody idiot."

"Yeah-Bekah's hormones are going crazy as are Elena's. They're just crying and its happy tears." His sigh was audible.

"Thank you." Hanging up, all the girls were looking at Rebekah who was smiling.

"There was this beautiful little place in the Quarter that's now abandoned; he bought it for me so I can use it for our blooming business Caroline."

Caroline smiled as she knew what 'blooming business' that Bekah was talking about.

A fashion line.

It was later that night as Stefan was about to go to sleep when the phone rang. Sighing, he answered it which turned out to be a horrible idea.

"Stefine? Are you there?" Kol worried.

"Kol-just stop. Please."

"But I love you Stefine!"

"It was funny the first time-now, now it's just annoying!" Stefan shouted into the phone before hanging up on him!

"Just so you know," Rebekah smiled as she curled into him as best she could. "I love you-Stefine." He sighed and just bemoaned the fact that his life was now going to be filled with crazy relatives. There was something about Rebekah and Kol. If they got on the same team about something heaven help any opposition. Rebekah kissed him with a sweet smile and Stefan smiled back before settling once more for sleep.

The second his eyes closed, his phone rang again and Rebekah answered it.

"Yes Kol?" Kol ended up scoffing.

"That's all you have to say Bekah? I wanted to talk to Stefine again."

"Stefine's busy at the moment." She said as she smiled, rubbing her belly and smiling at it. "Why don't you bother Nik or someone?"

"Cause me and Stefine are friends!"

"Really? Kol, please stop teasing Stefan." Her voice was laced with sadness as she spoke. It was easy to make sure that her brothers-either older or younger-bend to her will. "Please stop teasing Stefan! If you must tease someone then tease Nik!" She heard him sigh and groan.

"Fine, I'll stop teasing Stefan to a point. Goodnight sister."

"Goodnight brother."
