Sorry about yesterday, but I had an event to attend to.
Chapter Fourteen
He was awed more than ever by his wife, and how she managed to handle the situation, they had talked about waiting till the triplets were older to have another child and he respected that and it was only a matter of days for her to return to work.
"You should go, I'll be okay." Elena said.
"Okay, if you need anything call me."
"I will." Elena said.
He headed to the office and get everything ready for the meeting.
"How did this happened?" Elijah asked his secretary.
"I don't know, I didn't do it."
"What's happening here?" Elena asked as she arrived with the triplets.
"This." Elijah said showing her the paper.
She walked towards him and got the paper.
"Go back to your desk. I'll talk to him. Can you please close the door?"
Christina just nodded and did like asked.
"You know her, you know she wouldn't mess with those figures." Elena said. "That wasn't her. I'll get to the bottom of this."
"Okay." Elijah said and then kissed her. "You should had called me."
"I can do it." Elena replied.
"I know you can." Elijah said as he walked towards their sleeping triplets.
"I'll talk to Christina before I leave. Let's go or we're going to be late." Elena said.
"Okay, okay. Please open the door, I'll push the carriage."
Elena did as told.
"We'll talk when the meeting is over." Elena said to Christina.
She just nodded. Elijah and Elena walked towards the conference room.
"They just fell asleep." Elena said to Freya.
"Ahh." Freya said.
"You're supposed to be home resting." Mikael said pointing to Elena.
"I told her that."
"No." Elena replied.
"Let's get started." Niklaus said.
They talked about how things were going in the company.
"The food is here." Khloe said.
The person from the restaurant entered with the food and placed it in the center of the table and one of the triplets was beginning to wake up. Elena excused herself, and began to get up.
"I'll help you." Freya said.
"Thank you." Elena said.
While they went somewhere else to change the triplets diapers, Elijah got the three bottles ready served himself, his wife and sister.
"Thank you, Lijah." Freya said.
"You're welcomed."
After a while, the meeting finished.
"I'm going to be in Rebekah's office, trying to find out what happened." Elena told Elijah as Elijah was holding his little girl. "Are you taking her with you?"
"Yes, she'll be my helper." Elijah replied.
He walked to his office with his daughter while the rest of his kids were with his siblings. He opened the door of his office and headed towards his desk. She was completely asleep, he kept watching her sleep and seeing her mother in her.
"What are you thinking?" Freya questioned.
"I'll need a boy's repellent." Elijah said.
"Good luck with that." Freya said. "Where's Elena?"
"She's in Rebekah's office."
"She'll get to the bottom of it. The parents are leaving."
"That's what she said." Elijah said as he slowly got up from his chair.
They both got out of Elijah's office.
"Freya tells me you're leaving."
"Yes." Mikael said. "I hope you're not letting her go back home alone."
"No, I'll leave with her." Elijah replied.
"Good." Esther said. "We should get going. We expect you for dinner."
"Yes, Mother." Elijah said.
They said goodbye and his parents walked towards the elevators. Elijah turned around at the sound of footsteps walking by, Freya did so too.
"What is it, Karla?"
"Is she in trouble?" She asked as she pointed towards Christina's desk.
"She is." Freya replied.
"If you know something, you should let my wife know. She's in Rebekah's office." Elijah replied.
"Okay." She said.
She excused herself and began to walk towards Rebekah's office.
"Do you think she's going to take that long?" Freya questioned.
"No." Elijah replied.
Elijah put down his little girl in the car seat snapped in the carriage, his siblings did the same.
"So, are you two having more children?" Klaus questioned.
"Not so soon." Elijah replied.
The door of Rebekah's office opened, Elena had a look of not being happy.
"That is not a happy look." Freya whispered.
"I'm already afraid." Kol added.
Elijah looked at Kol and he wasn't joking. Elena walked past them.
"Take care of them." Elijah said to his siblings.
Elijah followed Elena and stood outside the door.
~*TVD*TO*~
She was angry.
"What were you looking in Christina's desk?" Elena questioned someone.
"She said I could get it."
"No, she would not had allowed that." Elena said. "She takes her job seriously and her privacy also."
Elena didn't know why but something made her look to her left and noticed the page she had been doing for a while, the one that had place her into her Elijah's view. Elena simply snatched it.
"What are you doing with this?" Elena questioned.
"She said I could help her."
Elena gave her a look, Meredith was making Elena angry.
"You are fired, get your things and get out of the building."
"You can't fire me!"
"I am doing it so!" Elena replied. "You better start moving."
"I am not."
"Very well then." Elena said and walked away.
Elena walked to where the custodians kept the cleaning supplies and got the trash can bin, she felt their stares but didn't say a word about it and walked to Meredith's desk. Elena began to throw her things into the trashcan.
"Hey." She yelled.
By this time, all of them had followed her and gathered some attention.
"I don't approve of what you did, because I know Christina and she wouldn't have given you this page. You took this page without her permission, you doctored the numbers. Get out of this building!"
"No, I won't."
"If, you don't leave I will call the police and press charges against you."
"You can't fire me!"
Elena took a breath and smiled.
"Mikael and Esther made me an owner of the company way before Elijah and I got together, and that gave me the power to fire anyone that has crossed the line."
She got her things and the things Elena had placed in the trashcan. She walked away towards the elevator. Elena kept her eyes on her.
"Now, you owe an apology to poor Christina."
"I already did, darling."
"Good." Elena said.
"Now, you need rest." Elijah said. "We should get going."
Elijah and Elena got ready to head home.
"Why don't we go to your parents house?" Elena questioned. "It's going to be a pain going back and forth."
"If you'd preferred it."
"Yes."
"Okay."
They drove straight to his parent's house.
"We're crashing here instead of driving home." Elijah said to his parents.
"You know you're welcomed here." Mikael said and then looked at Elena. "You need sleep."
"I'm going, I'm going, Poppa." Elena said.
She wanted to sleep, but first she needed to pump fresh milk as the triplets were not fond of formula milk. She began to pump milk and got it ready for Elijah.
"Wake me up when they wake up." Elena said to Elijah.
"I will."
She got ready to sleep, he kissed her forehead. He woke her up two hours later, they managed to change their diapers and fed them. They went back to sleep.
"We really make beautiful children." Elena said.
"Yes, and more because they look a lot like you." Elijah said.
There was a knock on the door and Mikael and Esther opened the door slowly.
"Rest a little longer." Esther said. "We're taking the triplets."
Mikael and Esther left them alone taking the triplets with them. Elijah and Elena got into bed together.
"Are you well rested?" Elijah asked.
"Yes." Elena said. "I need to pump some more milk."
"That was a bombshell you dropped today." Elijah said.
"I know." Elena replied. "I noticed how uncomfortable Khloe is."
"I've noticed that too." Elijah said. "Have you thought about my parents request?"
"Isn't it too much for them?" Elena questioned.
"I think that if they asked is because they think they can manage." Elijah said.
"We'll have to get them used to formula milk." Elena replied.
"Good luck with that." Elijah said.
They got up from bed and headed towards the kitchen.
"They're still sleeping." Mikael said. "You're well rested?"
"Yes." Elena replied.
"Where's the rest of the family?"
"They're on their way." Esther replied. "Dinner is almost ready."
"I see that you really can handle it."
"Are you going to let us take care of them?" Mikael asked.
"Yes." Elena replied.
The rest of the family started arriving one after the other.
"Set up the table, Niklaus." Esther said.
"Kol, set up the table."
"Nik, I told you." Esther said.
"I'm going."
"Do you need any help?" Elena questioned.
"You shouldn't be in the kitchen anymore." Esther said.
