Chapter 37
"I watched her sleep from a tree half the night Elijah. You should look at it like I kept her safe while you weren't there. When you arrived I left. You can have all that to yourself," Kol explained diplomatically.
"Does anyone have anything else to say about watching me?" Elena asked, her face still buried in Elijah's chest. She was embarrassed.
"I apologize Elena," Kol said sincerely, "but it didn't take long at the ball to see that you were not like Katherine. You were what my brother deserved and when he took more than a passing interest in you I decided to be helpful. I apologize if I have offended you."
She sighed and lifted her face from Elijah's chest.
"I forgive you Kol." She said softly.
"Okay so do we have anything left on the wedding front?" Caroline asked.
"Get me poured into my dress..." Bonnie groaned.
"What do your dresses look like?" Elena asked them. "I'm not going to be in the wedding but I'm going to see it."
"I went for a black and white theme," Rebekah said, "so their gowns are black mermaid gowns that hug them like a glove with corset lacing up the back."
Elena grinned as she could imagine it.
"Oh those are going to look beautiful!" She said excitedly.
"Mine looks fabulous but Bonbon is so self-conscious. It's like she can gain weight I keep reminding her. She could be me and having to watch everything she eats!"
"You'll both look fabulous." Elena giggled.
"No, you look fabulous," Bonnie smiled. She polished off her glass of wine concluding her dinner.
"I can't believe you're having a baby," Jeremy marveled.
She smiled at him.
"Well you better believe it." She said to him with a grin. "You have weeks before Alexia Rebekah is born. Alexia Rebekah Mikaelson."
Rebekah smiled widely. Her goddaughter was going to be named after her!
Elijah smiled at his sister before his smile grew brighter as he looked at Elena. He loved the fact that she wanted to honor his sister with such a grand gesture.
"Hey Kol you up for some Forza?" Jeremy asked.
"You're never going to beat him," Rebekah laughed.
"I thought perhaps Bonnie could come distract him," Jeremy grinned.
"Yeah Bunny, come and distract me," Kol grinned. She rolled her eyes at him.
"It wouldn't make a bit of difference Jeremy," Bonnie replied.
Jeremy rolled his eyes before staring at Elena.
"You're seriously going to put 'Mikaelson' down as the surname?" He asked.
"I'm pretty sure that I am." She told him with her head on Elijah's shoulder. Looking up at him, she smiled slightly. "I was hoping that we could talk in private?" He raised an eyebrow before she whispered, "Alexia's craving blood again."
