Andrea was with Elizabeth in the stables. She loved her baby and wanted to protect her innocence. She turned around when she could smelled him. Elijah smiled when he saw her looking at him. Elijah spoke to Elizabeth, "How are doing today, my dear?" Elizabeth looked at her father and asked, " I am fine father, how was your evening yesterday?". Elijah didn't reply for a moment and looked over at Andrea, she was blushing profusely. Elijah then replied, "Oh I had one of the best evenings of my life." Elizabeth laughed and looked over to her mother who was now unable to make eye contact with anybody. Elizabeth spoke, "Father I think we are making mother uncomfortable" and both of them laughed. Their laughter was short lived when Klaus spoke," Oh what do we have here? A family reunion?" Elijah turned around and saw the smirk on Klaus' face. He knew about his anonymous family and also knew how Klaus knew about them. Katherine. He suddenly took a defensive pose shielding both Andrea and Elizabeth. Andrea stood in front of Elizabeth like a wolf protecting her cub. Klaus spoke again, " Why did you stop? Please don't stop on my account. My dear...", holding out his hand towards Elizabeth, when Elijah warned Klaus, " Don't you dare touch her". Klaus then replied, " What seems to be the matter brother? Why can't I greet my niece?" Elijah held out his hand to block Klaus from stepping forward. He said, " If you touch a single hair on either of them, I will rip you to pieces" . Klaus laughed at his brother's threat. He said," Don't worry brother. I have no intention of harming your... my family" Elijah didn't believe him as he maintained his stance. Klaus tried to relieve him of his worries and said, " I mean no harm brother. I just want to introduce myself to my niece and my brother's concubine" Elijah couldn't stand this insult and put his hand around Klaus' throat. Both Andrea and Elizabeth gasped. Klaus being more powerful removed his hand from his neck and pushed him. Klaus tried speaking but Elijah beat him to it and said, " You have never approved of anybody I have been close to. You can't stand for me being happy. You kill off anybody who makes me happy". Now it was Klaus' turn to respond to that insult, he said, " No brother! All I have ever done is protect you! I killed Celeste because she was selfish witch who wanted to use you for her magic. She never loved you. Even Kol saw through her facade and that's saying something since we both know how self obsessed he is".
Hearing Klaus talk about Celeste and her indiscretions made Elijah less tense around him. He lowered his guard a bit. Klaus again tried approaching Elizabeth, " My dear I am your Uncle Niklaus. I am your father's younger brother. A bastard I am afriad, just like you. You see I am I was born out of wedlock when my mother cheated on her husband with my werewolf father. I guess we both have a lot in common being bastard hybrids and related." Elizabeth laughed at that statement. Klaus continued his conversation with her, " If you ever want to have fun and your father is being too noble, come to me. I can teach you a few things your father will never let you do"; Klaus winked at her and looked over to Elijah who didn't look amused. With that he left.
Elijah stood with Andrea and Elizabeth silent for few moments before he said, " I have to go. Do not trust Niklaus. He may seem calm right now but he has quite fragile temper", with that he left to meet the person who shouldn't have put her nose where it didn't belong.
He came barging in Katherine's chamber and she looked afraid because she knew what she had done. She tried to speak but Elijah refused her this opportunity. He spat out, " How dare you speak to my brother about my family? You knew how protective I was this morning about them! Yet you chose to ignore it and go ahead with your devious plan. How could you be so selfish?". But before he could Katherine said, "Selfish? You have no right to call me selfish when you ran the moment you met your lover and left me all alone. You spent the entire night with her and were with her this morning when I came to meet you!", tears almost at the brim of her eyes threatening to pour down. Elijah was ashamed with what he had done to her. He had been dishonourable. He kept silent and let her continue. She spoke again with less anger but with a hint of vicious tone, " So I did what I thought was best for me since you did the same for yourself. I went to Klaus to talk about this anonymous family you mentioned this morning, and to my surprise he didn't know anything about it either. So I suggested he found out, since he is your brother". Elijah couldn't believe how manipulative Katherine was. Maybe his brother was right when he said that he could be ignorant about how people around him truly were, he thought. He wanted to grip her throat and make her pay for her betrayal but he didn't want to stoop to a level where he couldn't rise in his own eyes. He stared at Katherine with hatred in his eyes and left without saying a word. All he thought about was how to keep Niklaus away from his innocent family.
He came to see Andrea and Elizabeth in their common room. He was greeted by Camille when she informed them about their whereabouts. They had gone to a nearby forest as Andrea hated being cooped up in one place. He went in search of them and followed their scent. He came close to a water body where their smell was the strongest. Luckily he didn't smell anybody else so he was relieved. He saw them playing in the water. They looked so happy and content with their lives. He could live the rest of the eternity just for this gorgeous moment. His little girl laughing her heart out and the his best girl giggling. He still remembered how she giggled all those years ago when he kissed her. This reminded him of the good things before he became a vampire and he wanted to go back to his uncomplicated normal mortal life.
His daze was broken when Andrea threw water at him and asked him to join them. He did and had the best time with his little family.
In the evening everybody had settled with their respective jobs. Elijah had gone back to his chamber. He had asked both Andrea and Elizabeth to stay with him in his chamber but both the ladies refused to leave Davina and Camille alone. He knew his daughter was strong enough to take care of herself but his fatherly duty to keep his daughter safe kept him unsettled. And as for Andrea she was too independent to be watched over all the time. But luckily he had convinced her to spend the night with him and was actually looking forward to the magical night.
Andrea had finished her kitchen duty as she scrubbed the utensils for the night and made her way to Elijah's chamber. But she felt a presence behind here, and when she turned around, Klaus was right behind her. He startled her. He tried to calm her when he said, " Oh sorry love. I didn't mean to scare you", smirking. Andrea tried to leave but he vamp sped and blocked her path and said, " Leaving are we? Why? Sorry this morning about the insult. I really did cross a boundary". With that said Andrea tried to leave again but he held this time and asked her with a dead serious tone, " Who turned you and your girl?". Andrea was scared as his grip was hurting her but his voice made her feel unsafe for her life. She didn't say anything and Klaus left her knowing very well that she won't speak even if he threatened to kill her. He said, "Send my love to Elijah", with that he left her alone pondering her next move as she felt to afraid to move.
She ran to her room to warn her daughter and others. She strictly informed them to put a boundary spell on their door and do not leave the room.
She then ran to Elijah's chamber to inform him about the incident. Elijah was enraged wanted to rip Klaus's throat but she stopped him. She didn't want him to go confront his maniac brother. And besides it seemed that he had left the castle for the night, for his evening genocide maybe? She hugged him tightly and Elijah hugged her back. She was actually was relieved in his arms. His scent comforted her and she didn't feel scared anymore. She looked up from their hug and kissed him gently. Elijah held her cheeks and deepened the kiss and then teleported them to the bed. Unlike last night their love making was slow and comforting, but Andrea still hoped that their daughter would have shut off her vamp hearing.
Late at night after their several sessions of love making, Andrea slept in his arms but Elijah kept awake and thought about Klaus' question that he had asked Andrea. He knew Klaus and he knew if he wanted something he would go to any extent to get it.
