There will be a couple of slow chapters before it picks up. Have to get my ducks in a row. Also I added in some cheesy parts.

Elijah awoke before even the sun. He looked down at the beauty still wrapped in his arms. Thinking over what he had heard last night, Elijah thought back on his life. He had thought he had been in love before, looking back he realized that none of those 'loves' felt like this.

Elijah had never felt so protective of a woman before, not to mention he felt protective of her son. He hadn't ever thought he would find a woman like Lyra, she was beautiful inside and out and she was fierce. He knew that she didn't like violence but would fight for what she thought was right, she had won a war. Lyra always put her son first, she made it clear he was her priority and Elijah liked that about her too.

Honestly, Elijah couldn't have found anyone better. Lyra can handle Niklaus and Rebekah, hopefully she wouldn't kill Kol. Finn would be the biggest challenge, he hated what they were and had only ever loved one person, which Niklaus killed. Finn would most likely be against getting to know Lyra.

Elijah would never have to lose Lyra, she couldn't die. Finding someone to spend eternity with wasn't easy but he had somehow found the one person he could. Teddy was an amazing little boy, Elijah could see himself helping raise him. He knew he wouldn't be his father, but he could be the father figure in his life.

Pulling Lyra tighter to him, he dozed back off with a smile on his face.

~~~~~

Lyra awoke with a pair of arms wrapped around her, she smiled at the feeling. She knew she was falling in love with Elijah. Lyra had never felt like this before, she hadn't had the time to and it seemed like anyone close to her died but she had her chance at happiness now. She thought back to last night, realizing what her last thought was, she tensed. Oh no, please say he didn't hear her.

The arms around her tightened. "You're thinking too loud lovely" Elijah said in a sleepy tone, kissing her shoulder "What has you thinking so hard this early".

Taking a breath, Lyra says "Thinking about you and I" Elijah rolls her to her back, leaning up on an arm so he can look at her face.

"What about us" Elijah asked, he was nervous.

Lyra smiled, running a hand down his face "I'm just thinking of how good we are together. How good you are with Teddy"

Leaning down to kiss her, "We are, I adore you and your son" he says, hearing Lyra's heartbeat pick up.

"I adore you too" Lyra pauses before adding, "Maybe even more than adore" Elijah's surprised she said it. He knew he wasn't meant to hear her last night but it made him happy.

Elijah smiles, kissing her deeper. He runs a hand down her body, feeling how wet she is, he moves his body between her thighs and thrusts in to the hilt. Both let out a moan.

Lyra wraps her legs around his waist as Elijah begins a steady pace. Neither of them are going to last long.

Feeling Lyra tighten around him, Elijah thrusts deep and grinds against her clit. She comes with a silent scream while he buries his head in her neck to let out a moan.

They're catching their breath when Lyra looks up at Elijah, smiling she says, "Definitely more than adore" he smiles and kisses her again.

~~~~~~

Lyra was getting dressed while Elijah showered when her wards alerted her that Teddy was awake. Walking into her sons room, Lyra was greeted by a smiling Teddy, standing in his crib.

"Good morning my Teddy Bear! Did you sleep good" Lyra asks as she picks him up to cuddle.

"Mama sweep" Teddy replied. He continued to talk while Lyra got him ready for the day. He was going to spend time with Bipsy while they took care of Mikael.

Klaus had retrieved the wood they needed to kill him. Lyra and Elijah had to talk him out of burning the bridge down. The only thing that convinced him was when she vanished the old bridge and transfigured a new one. The sign was all they needed to make the stake.

Elijah met them in the hallway when they were finished getting Teddy ready. Teddy smiled at him and proceeded to include him in the conversation he had been having with Lyra.

Sitting down to breakfast, Lyra told Elijah when his siblings entered the wards. They were to the point that Klaus no longer knocked, he seemed to know when Bipsy had breakfast ready and was usually here by then. Bipsy of course loved cooking for such an enthusiastic eater.

"Morning brother, Lyra, pup" Klaus greeted, sitting and filling a plate. Rebekah followed but was more polite.

"Bunny, Bunny" Teddy squealed.

Klaus rolled his eyes as the others laughed, "Will you ever stop calling me that" he asked Teddy, who of course shook his head no. Klaus glared at Lyra, "Get your child"

Lyra smiled back, "Sorry Bunny, the name stays"

Rebekah looked at the adults at the table, breaking up the fun by saying "So we're really doing this, father" she stopped herself with a sniffle.

Elijah walked over to his sister, "We have to. I know that you know it's true. No matter how much it may hurt, we aren't safe while he's alive" Rebekah nods in agreement.

~~~~~~

Elijah was driving them to the location. Klaus was sat up front with him. Rebekah had gotten a cell phone and Lyra was trying to help her learn how to use it.

"Honestly, I'm not the best person for electronics. I just got my first phone a year ago. I wasn't allowed electronics or things like this growing up" Lyra told her, pointing to the phone. She hadn't noticed the reactions the others gave her comment.

Elijah had never heard Lyra speak about her relatives. He knew she didn't like the memories, but he was curious as to why. She had told him about Hogwarts and her ex-friends, but he didn't even know her relatives' names. He worried as to why that was.

Klaus noticed how his brother tensed when Lyra mentioned her childhood. Something was definitely going on and he wanted to know. If the look on Elijahs face was anything to go by, maybe he would get to kill someone.

Rebekah was the one who opened the gate, "Didn't you grow up in this world? I thought you said your aunt wasn't a witch"

Lyra nodded, "I did but the way I grew up, well I wouldn't say I was a part of the family. I was pretty much a live in maid. I cooked, cleaned, and did the gardening. I wasn't allowed to do better than my cousin in school, they couldn't have someone with my freakishness do better than a normal person"

The girls screamed as the car went off the road before Elijah corrected it, "Sorry" he muttered, gripping the steering wheel tight.

Getting her heartrate under control, Lyra said "When I decided to move to America, I learned how to work a phone. The Wizarding World is so old school, they use owls to deliver mail and the floo to call someone. I never had the need to know before now".

Rebekah needed to keep her talking, she felt something was definitely wrong "What about the summers, didn't you have friends"

Shaking her head, Lyra explained "The only people I spoke to were those from school. One person, who I thought was a friend, was a muggleborn but even she contacted me by owl. They all knew I wasn't allowed to have phone calls or people visit. Vernon would have had a fit if someone of my kind would have come to their 'normal' house"

Rebekah was confused, "Your aunt knew about your mother, right?" Lyra nodded. Rebekah continued, "So why did that have such a problem with your magic if they took you in?"

"The Dursleys didn't offer to take me. Dumbledore gave them no choice, he left me on their doorstep the night my parents were murdered with a note" Lyra knew the question coming before anyone could ask, "Dumbledore said I needed to grow up away from the fame of being 'The Girl Who Lived' and live a normal life" Lyra then whispered, "Too bad I was left to be raised in hell"

Elijah couldn't take anymore, he pulled the car over and got out, slamming the door behind him. Klaus followed, trying to calm his brother. Rebekah seen as Lyra's face dropped.

"It's not you. Elijah's upset at how you were treated" Rebekah told her.

Lyra watched as the brothers spoke. She had never told him about her relatives. Honestly, she hated to talk about them and relive the memories. They weren't pleasant. They were the reason she made sure Teddy knew he was loved by her and his parents.

~~~~~~

Lyra got out of the car and walked over to where Elijah was. Klaus watched her approach, nodding to her, he headed back to the car.

"Are you okay" Lyra asked quietly.

Elijahs head came up and she was surprised to see his eyes had lines under them. Lyra was surprised but not scared, she lifted her hand and pressed a finger lightly under his eye.

Elijah flinched away, "Sorry, I'm a little on edge" he told her.

Lyra wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head over his heart. "There's a reason I've never spoke about my childhood. I shouldn't have said anything now"

Elijahs arms wrapped around her, pulling her closer. "I want to kill your relatives for what they did, I know there's more that you wont say"

Lyra looks back to his face, noticing the veins are more prominent. Standing on her tip toes, she kissed him, "I love that you care so much that you're willing to commit murder" she laughs when his mouth quirks, she then spots a fang. "Will you show me your vampire face"

Elijahs surprised by her question, no one has ever asked him that. He stares for a moment then nods.

Lyra watches as his face changes, she watches amazed "Still handsome" she tells him with a cheeky smile.

Elijah snorts and kisses her. When he feels his face return to normal, he walks Lyra back to the car.

~~~~~~

Finally arriving, Lyra gets out of the car and feels a shiver go down her spine. "Why do bad guys always hang out in cemeteries" she mutters.

Elijah walks over, taking her hand. He knew she didn't like being here but she wanted to help them.

"So, how exactly do we find him in here" Klaus asks, he had the general location but not the tomb.

Lyra takes the lead and does a 'point me' spell. "This way" they all follow behind her, she has to do the spell a couple more times before they locate Mikael. When she finally stops, she looks to the brothers.

Elijah and Klaus open the tomb, both girls wait for them to enter. They weren't doing ladies first here. The find Mikael wrapped in chains, desiccated in a stone coffin.

"Thats a good look for him" Klaus jokes.

Lyra looks between the siblings, "I'll let you three have a moment" she says, stepping outside. She had been standing there five minutes when an owl lands on the headstone next to her. Startled by the appearance, she asks the owl "Can I help you?" The owl holds its leg out for her to take the letter. Running her scans and finding nothing, she takes the letter.

Lyra,

Be sure to gather the ashes of their father. The Wrackspurts have a plan.

Luna

Lyra read the note twice. She had no clue why she would need the ashes, but she would definitely listen to Luna. Digging through her bag, she finds a vial. Now she only had to wait for them to finish.

~~~~~~

Rebekah was the first to exit, she hadn't wanted to watch. Even though she hated her father, he was still her father. She walked over to where Lyra was sitting and sat beside her.

"I think you're good for Elijah" Lyras head jerked up, Rebekah continued "Nik never let anyone we fancied live long. He didn't want us to leave him. I also don't have a good history of choosing the right suiter"

Lyra wasn't really sure how to respond to that. Luckily Rebekah spoke again.

"Elijah hides his feelings, usually. Today was the first time in centuries I've seen him lose control" Rebekah looked Lyra in the eye, "He will find your aunt and uncle and kill them"

Stunned, Lyra said "I don't think he would go that far, I mean he said he wanted to but"

Rebekah shrugged, "He and Nik are putting a stake in our father right now for trying to murder us but also for how he treated Nik"

"Well shit" Lyra muttered, Rebekah was probably right. Was it bad that she couldn't find any sympathy for them.

~~~~~~

When the brothers exited the tomb, Lyra went in. Confused, Elijah followed her back in. "Lovely, what are you doing" he asked, watching her lean into the coffin.

"Luna sent an owl, the Wrackspurts said we would need his ashes" Finishing, she stands up and puts a cork in the vial, "I learned long ago not to question Luna"

Elijah nods, taking her hand they walk back out to head home.

~~~~~~

The ride home was a lot less tense. Lyra made sure to stay away from the topic of her relatives. The only one she would tell him not to kill would be Dudley. He changed after the dementors and when she stayed behind.

Elijah had dropped his siblings off before taking Lyra home. Pulling into the driveway, Elijah shut the car off after he parked.

"Are you coming in" Lyra asked.

Elijah smiled, "If you're not tired of me yet"

Lyra laughed and they headed in. The two were greeted by Teddy. Luckily she had made it home before his bedtime. The three of the cuddled on the couch to watch a movie.
