Chapter 38
"We'll watch Caroline's two favorites," Elijah said as he was rubbing Elena's inner thigh. "Then Bonnie's, Rebekah's and finish it off with Elena's. How does that sound?"
"So we can watch Elf and The Polar Express?" Elena asked happily.
"Whatever you want lovely." He whispered happily to her.
"Perfect!" Everyone agreed. They rarely left the living room all day. By the time they were on the fourth movie Bonnie was feeding from Kol while he was finishing off the pizza they had for lunch. Elena was feeding from Elijah as well. Rebekah had fallen asleep and Caroline looked like she might doze off as well.
"Thank you for the best Christmas ever," Bonnie said gently to Kol. Elijah heard her and smiled encouragingly at his brother. He was pretty sure both girls would say yes to the rings when they were offered.
"Thanks for making this one of the best Christmas celebrations that I've been apart of Elijah." Elena whispered with a kiss to his lips.
"It's no problem as this was the best one that I've had myself." He said, pulling her closer.
"Shall we open presents Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?" Elena asked as they sat down for dinner.
"Christmas morning." Bonnie told her, giggling.
"How about we make gingerbread cookies for Santa Claus tonight?" Kol asked.
Soon everyone was in the kitchen with Christmas themed cookie cutters vying for a spot in the dough to cut out their shape. Klaus had gotten flour on Caroline's nose while Rebekah was enjoying the settling effect the ginger had on her stomach. She paused for a moment and then she grabbed Elijah's hand and pressed it to her baby bump where a moment later he felt a distinct kick. She had a look of absolute delight on her face. Stefan didn't mind that she shared the moment with Elijah first. He was just thankful that they were going to be a family.
Elijah smiled at her as he placed his Christmas cookie cutter-that was in the shape of a dove-near the edge at the top. Elena's cookie cutter was in the shape of a candy cane.
