Second chapter of the day...

Chapter Fifteen

Elena had returned to work and the triplets were already ten months and already getting up and trying to take their first steps. She had gotten all the family into skype.

"Wait." Elena said and got up to get something and then showed it to the family.

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you." They both said at the same time.

"The kids?"

"They're sleeping."

They ended the video chat with their family.

"Are you hungry?" Elijah questioned.

"Yes." Elena said.

He prepared something for her before the triplets would wake up. They had noticed she was pregnant as her eating habits had changed. She didn't want to eat red meat, she couldn't stand the smell of it. They had just finished eating when the triplets woke up.

"Who's awake now?" Elijah questioned to his little girl and she just smiled.

They changed their diapers and then fed them.

"We need to go grocery shopping." Elena said.

"I know."

They got the kids ready and headed out into the city. Ailis didn't want to go in the stroller, she wanted her mother to carry her. She read the list to Elijah to pick up the items they needed.

"Oh we need more diapers and wipes."

"Is it everything?" Elijah questioned.

"Yes." Elena replied.

They paid and went back home and while the triplets played in the play pen, placed the things where they belonged. Elijah prepared dinner and placed the kids in their high chairs and they were excited to receive food.

"I think it's a boy." Elena said.

"Me too."

Ailis screamed when they stopped feeding her.

"She's just like you." Elena said.

"Yes, I noticed, but good thing she has her mother's eyes."

After they had finished eating they let the triplets play in the floor and sat with them. His little girl started rubbing her eye and went with Elena, it was time to put them to sleep, soon enough they went to sleep. They got out of the triplets room and headed towards the living room.

"What are we going to do for their first birthday?"

"I was thinking maybe something small, family only."

"Yeah." Elena said.

They sat there giving each other ideas, but he noticed that she was getting tired.

"Let's go to sleep." Elijah said.

He got up and helped her get up, they headed towards their room and got ready to go to sleep. They woke up with their alarm. They began to get ready to head to work and just as they had finished getting ready the triplets woke up, they got them ready and headed out to drop them off at his parents place.

"So how are you feeling?" Esther asked Elena.

"A little better than when I was expecting the triplets."

Mikael got Ailis out of the carseat and as she saw Elena, she outstretched her little arms towards her. She got her tiny hands.

"I'll be back later." Elena said.

She started crying when Elijah and Elena walked away.

"It's hard isn't it?" Elijah questioned as he opened the door for her.

"Yes, especially now that she's too attached to me."

"Yeah."

They got to work and they went their separate ways. He was working in the numbers and wanting to implement new menus. He was so into his work that he didn't see the time until there was a knock on the door.

"It's already twelve and we're hungry."

"What do you want to eat?" Elijah questioned.

"They ordered and I ordered for you and me."

"The usual?" Elijah questioned getting up and walking towards her.

"Eh no red meat."

"That's fine by me."

"Nik wasn't that happy."

"Oh." Elijah said pulling her closer to him.

"I promised that once the baby was out I would cook lots of red meat." Elena said. "We should get there. Your brother gets moody."

"He learned his lesson from the last time you got angry."

He opened the door for her and let her go out first. They got to the conference room and the food was already there. Niklaus was about to say something and then he noticed Elena. Elijah looked at Elena, he gave her he "I told you so" look. They sat down and served each other. Elijah asked them for ideas.

"I think you should add new drinks." Caroline said.

"That's a good idea."

"What about different foods?" Elena questioned.

"What kind of food, Lena?"

"We could add Paellas, treats."

"We could also add musaka and Kebapche." Kol said.

They worked on the plans. He needed to figure out a way to apply it. After a while they went back to their work places. He began to look for ways to prepare his chefs.

"You're still working in a plan?" Elena asked from the doorway.

"Yes." Elijah replied looking up. "Is it already five?"

"Yes, Elijah." Elena replied. "Let's go, we're getting hungry."

"Let's go." Elijah said getting up and leaving everything as it was.

They walked out of the office holding hands, Elena had her hand in her belly while he made sure the building was closed before leaving.

~*TVD*TO *~

He called home to check on their children.

"Mother says dinner is ready." Elijah said.

"Okay." Elena said.

Few minutes later, they arrived at Mikael and Esther's house. Elijah opened the door and he let her in first. The moment her little girl saw her, she drops everything and walked towards her. Elena picked her up.

"You must be hungry." Esther said.

"Yes."

"Everything is set up." Esther said.

They walked towards the dining room, Elijah served her and himself while she sat down with Ailis. The rest of the family sat down to have dinner.

"Where's Kol?" Elena questioned.

"He's talking to Davina."

Elena started eating while her little girl placed her head in her chest. Mikael tried to get her, but she simply refused.

"You don't want to go with Grampa?"

"No."

"Sorry, Poppa." Elena said.

He just shrugged his shoulder, Elena continued eating until she finished it.

"Dessert?" Elena questioned.

"Brownies in the counter." Esther said.

"Let's go for brownies, Ailis." Elena said and got up.

Elena grabbed two brownies one for her and the other for Ailis, Adrian and Andre followed her. She gave one each, after they had finished with dinner they walked to the living room to drink their coffee.

"I am flying tomorrow morning to Romania." Kol said. "I am sure I want to marry her."

Elena smiled. "Does she know?"

"No." Kol said. "I want to surprise her."

"What are you planning?" Mikael questioned.

"We have talked about possibilities." Kol replied.

"You'll be happy." Elena said.

"Thank you, sissy." Kol replied.

Elena had noticed the change Davina had made in him.

"We should get going." Elijah said helping her get up.

"Say goodbye to Poppa and Nana." Elena said to Ailis, she did. "Blow them a kiss."

"Goodnight." Esther and Mikael said.

"Goodnight."

They headed home, Elijah and Elena placed the triplets in their cribs and for a while they watched them sleep.

"They're growing so fast."

"Yes, they are." Elijah said. "They're looking more and more as their beautiful Mother."

She blushed. Time was going fast, it was four in the morning.

"Elijah, he wants to meet us."

He got up as fast as he could and got dressed and then helped her get dressed. Elijah called for his parents and informed them that they needed to go to the hospital.

"Call us if you need something." Esther said.

"Thank you." Elijah said.

They headed towards the hospital, the Doctor in charge of the ER checked her and said it was time for her to have the baby, they prepared her to have the baby. Few hours later, they go to meet their little boy.

"So what name did you choose?" Elena asked Elijah as she was holding him.

"Anthony." Elijah said.

Elena smiled. "It rhymes with the name I chose."

"Yes it does."

"Have you called your parents?"

"No, not yet." Elijah said as he got his phone and dialed his Mother's number. "Mum, I have another son. Yes, they are. How are my kids? Thank you."

He hung up.

"Are they okay?"

"Yes they are. Mum already called Aleks."

The nurse entered to say that they were going to transfer her to her room. Elijah grabbed the baby from Elena.

"How do you think Ailis is going to take it?" Elijah asked once they were alone.

"I don't know." Elena replied. "I hope okay."

"You need sleep." Elijah said.

"So do you." Elena replied.

"Sleep darling." He said as he gave a kiss in his new baby and placed him in the crib.

She watched him as he got comfortable in the sofa. She closed her eyes, few hours later she woke up she needed to go to the restroom but she didn't want to wake him up. She had managed to almost get back to bed when she made a noise.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Elijah questioned.

"I just went to the restroom." Elena replied.

At exactly 8 am they began to get visitors, starting with his family.

"He's so cute." Caroline said.

"Thank you." Elena said.

Elijah's phone started alerting him of a text.

"Hello Matias." Freya said.

"He really is his father mini-me." Klaus said holding Matias.

Elena looked at Elijah and winked at him, his phone started alerting him of a text.

"Two of you have to go down, our parents are here." Elijah said.

"We should get going." Klaus said. "The kids must be driving Elizabeth crazy."

Klaus gave the baby back to Elena and headed out of the room followed by Caroline and Elijah.
