Here's another chapter.


Chapter Twelve

They were now husband and wife, they both looked very happy. After the ceremony ended and the couple had walked down the aisle as husband and wife, they were all heading to the reception.

"What's wrong?" Elijah questioned Elena.

Elena took a deep breath. "What is she doing here?"

"I believe she came with the best man." Elijah answered as he opened the car door for her.

"I know I should stop feeling this way towards her, I can't." Elena replied.

"It's not that easy, darling." Elijah replied. "Don't focus on her, focus in the new couple that just got married. Who's that your cousin brought?"

"She's the new person he's dating, my aunt is not happy and not even happy that he brought her to the wedding."

"What's your take in all of this?"

"I don't know what he's thinking but I'm still thinking he and Freya are a good match. He's ready to ditch Romania and the media, more the media than Romania though."

"Well, good luck with Niklaus."

"Can you help me out?"

"I will protect you from harm."

"Oh, Lijah."

"What? I didn't appreciate what he said about my sister." Elijah said. "We're almost there."

"Well, at least she's going to be loved by my uncle and aunt and cousins."

He parked the car and told her to wait he would open the door for her.

"My gentleman." She said.

He kissed her, then proceeded to close the door and locked the car. They walked towards the restaurant.

"I've got an idea." Elena whispered to Elijah.

He just shook his head. They walked around and saying hello to everyone that was already there.

"I need a favor." Elena said to one of Elijah's family friends.

"What is it?" He asked.

"I know you and Freya have this friendship." Elena said. "My cousin likes her, but he's been an ass about it."

"I know what you mean, I can do it. I've noticed how they kept eyeing each other when the other wasn't looking."

Elena looked at Elijah.

"I'm not agreeing to this." Elijah said to Elena.

"It might work." Elena said. "Thanks."

"We should get moving." Elijah said.

"Yeah. Excuse us."

"Go right ahead."

They walked towards their table, almost everyone was there.

"What are you planning?" Ioan asked Elena.

"Me? Nothing." Elena replied.

"I know that look, and that means something." Ioan replied.

"Nothing." Elena replied.

"Yeah."

People started arriving and then the newlyweds arrived.

"They look so coordinated." Elena whispered to Elijah.

Aleks and Rebekah danced their dance together. Rebekah had wanted to include the Romanian part of the wedding to hers. They were starting to serve the food.

"Are you feeling alright?" Elijah questioned Elena.

"Yes." Elena replied.

The music had already started playing.

"Can I have this dance?"

"Yes." Elena replied.

Elijah got up and helped Elena got up. Thierry had asked Freya to dance. Elena placed her head in his shoulder.

"What do you think where having?" Elena questioned.

"Probably girls and beautiful as their mother." Elijah said. "What about you?"

Elena noticed her cousin glaring at Thierry, she turned her head around.

"No, I guess they're boys." Elena said.

The song ended. Thierry and Freya walked towards them, few seconds later her cousin passed to talk to his mother and then stopped with them.

"Thierry, this is my cousin, Miroslav. Miroslav this is Thierry."

"Hi nice to meet you."

"Likewise."

"Excuse me, Bekah is calling me." Freya said.

Thierry excused himself and walked towards his table, this was her time to attack.

"This is the first time they have seen each other. He lives California, or some state on the other side and it seems that time hasn't gone by." Elena said. "It could work. You said you didn't like her, you don't mind, do you?"

"No." He said.

Her uncle Ioan was walking towards them, Miroslav excused himself and went back to his date.

"Is that what you were planning?" Ioan asked.

"Busted." Elijah said.

"Well, for not being interested, he shows a lot of interest to know who Thierry is."

Aleks and Rebekah cut the cake. Elena looked at Freya and they walked towards the happy couple. They came out of the restroom, Rebekah completely changed clothes. Aleks was already waiting for her. Elijah knew she was going to be happy, but it wasn't easy for him. Elijah and his parents walked towards them.

"Thank you for accompanying us tonight." Aleks said. "You're welcomed to stay. We need to catch up our flight."

"Take care of her."

~*TVD*TO *~

"I will."

They stayed a little while longer.

"Are you ready?" Elijah questioned her.

"Yes." Elena replied.

Elijah got up and then helped her get up, she turned around and the person she less expected was there.

"Get out of my sight." Elena exclaimed.

"I'm sorry."

Tatia pushed her away.

Elena began to breathe rapidly.

"Come on, let's get going." Elijah said to her.

They walked towards the door.

"Breath, darling." Elijah said and then engulfed her in a hug.

"They should be here to see him get married." Elena said between sobs.

"I know."

She continued to cry, she would always miss them.

He nodded and let her go, they got into their car and headed to the airport. They would leave to Romania, she would take care of the business while he was away. Their layover flight was called. It was going to be a long flight. She had fallen asleep and when she woke up they were announcing that they were going to land.

"One more flight." Elijah said.

She just nodded, the plane safely landed in London and walked towards the exit. They would leave the following morning. Elijah called for a taxi that would take them to their London home.

"Sleep." Elijah said.

They changed into their pajamas and got ready to go to bed.

"Good morning." He said as he kissed her cheek.

"Good morning."

They had breakfast before leaving to the airport and waited for their flight to be called.

"Do you know what you're going to say?" Elijah questioned.

"Yes." Elena said.

Their flight was called and the flight to Romania was short. Once they landed she saw the bunch of reporters outside. She just simply ignored them and good thing her family had left a car at the airport for her.

"I'll wake you up when we get there." Elijah said.

He woke her up once they had gotten inside the property. Once home and they had rested, she felt him watching her scribbling down.

"What are you writing?"

"What I'm going to say at the press conference."

"You know that their going to ask you about your pregnancy?"

"Yes I know." Elena replied.

"Are you hungry?"

"Yes." Elena said.

"I'll prepare you something." Elijah said getting up.

"Okay." Elena replied.

Elena continued writing down, until he called her to the table.

"That looks good." Elena said.

"So when can we know what are we having?" Elijah questioned.

She hadn't told him that she was waiting to visit Romania, but she had guessed that he already knew.

"Tomorrow." Elena replied as she got her phone. "I could send her a message."

He encouraged her to do it. Elena sent her a message, and she replied that she could open a little earlier for her.

"What did she said?" Elijah questioned her.

"She said she could open a little earlier for me and then we could inform our families."

"We should start thinking about names." Elijah said.

"Sounds like a good idea." Elena said.

They finished eating, washed the dishes and then headed outside to sit and enjoy their time together.

"So, have you thought of any names?"

"Yes."

They both said many names and mixed and match from their lists. They chose three names for boys and three names for girls. Elijah placed his hand in her belly, they started moving.

"I'd wish my parents were here."

"Me too." Elijah said. "I would had loved to meet them. We should get inside."

"Okay, okay." She said.

He helped her get up and then kissed her.

"I love you."

She smiled. "I love you, too."

They headed inside and got ready to go to bed, he helped her out. The next morning they woke up and got ready to head out.

"Do you think we can find out?" Elena asked as she helped him with his tie.

"I hope so."

"My handsome man." Elena said. "You're ready, we should get going."

"Yeah."

They headed out and straight to the Dr.'s Office.

"Hello Elena, Elijah."

"Hi."

"Are you ready?"

"Yes." They both said at the same time.

"Follow me."

Elena and Elijah followed anxiously. Elena knew the procedure and got ready, she looked at Elijah and he had the same look in his eyes as she did. They were ready.
