Chapter Seventeen
His parents couldn't stop him from visiting Rebekah, they had just landed in Romania.
"You didn't have to come." Rebekah said to Elijah.
"Nonsense." Elijah said. "I needed to see it with my own eyes."
Rebekah took a deep breath.
"How are you feeling?" Elena questioned.
"I want to get up!" Rebekah exclaimed.
"Not a chance he will let you." Elena said.
"He better not, the Doctor said rest. So, you stay put."
Rebekah made a face.
"Let me meet the little guy." Rebekah said.
Elena sat next to her in the bed.
"He looks a lot like Henrik." Rebekah said.
"I've been told." Elena said.
Elijah placed his hand in Rebekah's belly and he felt movement, Rebekah gave him a look.
"Don't." Rebekah said. "He's being moving all day long."
"Sorry." Elijah said removing his hand.
Elena was holding to her laugh. Rebekah took a deep breath.
"What is it?" Elena questioned.
"I think it's time." Rebekah said.
Between Elijah and Aleks they got her up and started moving, Elena was staying behind to take care of the kids. She knew he would want to be in the hospital with his sister. His phone started ringing.
"Hey."
"How's everything going?" Elena questioned.
"She's ready to have the baby, the Doctor's are prepping her."
"Well, send me a picture."
"I will, darling." Elijah replied.
They ended their phone call, it seems hours to him.
"It's a healthy boy, they're both doing okay." Aleks said. "You'll be able to see her in a few minutes. I've got to get back to her."
"Okay."
He waited a few seconds and then the nurse came for them.
"He's so cute, Elena wants a photo." Elijah said getting his phone out. "Then, it's my time carrying him."
"Not a chance." Mikael said getting the baby from Rebekah.
"Cheater." Elijah said.
Elijah took the picture and sent it to Elena, few seconds later Mikael pass the baby to Elijah. He got the baby and looked at him.
"He's a mini you, Bekah."
"That's what I told her." Aleks said.
"She's bringing her right?" Esther questioned.
"You couldn't even dare trying to stop her." Aleks said.
"True." Elijah said. "That is my cue to leave and stay with Matias."
"You're not having another child?" Bekah questioned.
"No, not yet." Elijah replied and handed back Rebekah her baby boy. "Goodbye family."
He walked towards the hospital doors. Once outside the hospital, he called for a taxi that would take him home. The taxi driver recognized him immediately, but he didn't ask anything.
"Multumesc."
"You should get going."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." Elijah said and kissed her.
Elena grabbed little Milena and headed out.
"Elena?"
"She went to the hospital to meet the baby."
"The excuse of taking Milena."
"Yes." Elijah replied.
"If you need anything let me know."
"I will." Elijah said.
Elijah got the baby out of the crib. He began to work on changing his diaper.
"I'm here." Elena said.
"Where's Milena?"
"She's with her parents."
Elijah handed Elena the baby and then kissed her forehead, she began to breastfeed her baby boy. Few hours later Rebekah was released from the hospital.
"Now is time for us to go back home." Mikael said.
"Thank you for coming." Rebekah said.
"You don't have to thank us." Mikael said kissing Rebekah's forehead.
Aleks had Milena with him.
"Say goodbye to Grampa and Nana."
"Bye." She said and sent them a kiss.
They got ready to head out, he knew she wasn't ready to say goodbye to her family.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah it's just hard to say goodbye."
They got to the airport and ready to go home to their kids, they were going to crash at his parents house; not that they minded.
"The triplets are sleeping." Freya said. "How's my sister?"
"She's happy with her new baby." Elena said.
"Go to sleep, you tell me tomorrow." Freya said. "Hand me Matias."
~*TVD*TO *~
She just nodded, Elijah and Elena headed towards Elijah's room. They were tired from their trip and their time difference. They got ready for bed and as soon as they put their heads in their pillows they fell quickly asleep.
"Good morning." Elijah said to Freya.
"Oh you're awake."
"Daddy." Ailis said and extended her little hands.
Elijah picked her up.
"Dad and Mum?"
"They're still sleeping." Freya said.
"Coffee?" Elena asked.
"It's ready."
Elena headed to get a mug to pour herself a cup, Elena turned around to face Elijah.
"Yes please."
"Breakfast is almost over."
"Why are you not seating down next to your brothers, Ailis?" Elijah questioned.
She just shook her head.
"She's been waiting for you." Freya said.
Elijah kissed her chubby cheek and headed to place her in her high chair. Few minutes later, Mikael and Esther walked towards the kitchen.
"Good morning."
After breakfast, Elena and Elijah got their kids and headed home. They still needed to get adjusted to the time, but with kids it wasn't that possible to sleep.
"Go to sleep." Elena said to her triplets. "I'm going to turn off the lights already."
Time had passed by, she was quiet.
"Should we try again?" Elena questioned as they got into bed.
"We could, but it's up to you."
"I want to." Elena said. "But what if we have triplets or more again?"
"I'm not going anywhere." Elijah said.
She smiled, he kissed her and things quickly escalated.
"Good morning, beautiful."
"Good morning, husband."
"What are we doing today?" Elijah questioned.
"Stay home and enjoy our kids."
"Sounds like a plan."
They heard Matias cry through the baby monitor.
"Time to get up." Elena said.
"Yeah." Elijah said.
"Daddy."
"You go with Matias, I'll handle the triplets." Elijah said.
"Deal." Elena replied.
They got up and headed out of their room, Elena went straight to Matias.
"Time to change that dirty diaper, little guy." Elena said.
Matias smiled when Elena picked him up, she kissed his chubby cheek. Elena changed his diaper and then began to breastfeed him. Elijah and the triplets entered the room.
"I should start with breakfast." Elijah said.
"Okay." Elena said.
"Mati." Ailis said.
"You're staying or leaving with Daddy?"
"Stay."
Elijah just nodded and walked away with the boys in tow, once she finished breastfeeding Matias and placed him in the crib she headed down with, Ailis behind her.
"Breakfast is ready." Elijah said.
Elena picked up Ailis and placed her in her high chair. Elijah placed Ailis plate in front of her.
"Coffee?"
"Yes, please." Elena said.
He poured coffee for her.
"Thank you." Elena said.
Elijah served her and himself, he sat in front of her.
"I can't wait to find out." Elijah said.
"Me too."
Elijah's phone started alerting him of a text.
"My parents wants us to get together for dinner." Elijah said.
"What time?"
"Six."
"Okay." Elena said.
After they had breakfast, they played with their triplets and waited for Mati to wake up as he would spent more time awake.
"Slowly." Elena said to Andrei.
Mati smiled, she kissed the top of his head. She noticed the triplets were beginning to rub their eyes and that was their cue. He helped her get up and they put the triplets to take their nap.
"You too, go to sleep." Elijah said to Mati and he simply smiled.
Elijah got the baby from Elena.
"You should take a nap. I'll make this little guy go to sleep."
Elena smiled. "Good luck with that."
She walked towards their room and got to bed, she didn't even feel Elijah get into bed next to her.
"Hey." She said.
"Did you sleep?"
"Yes and you?"
"Yes. The kids are still sleeping."
