The car ride back to Lyra's was quiet. Elijah was thinking about his siblings. They would be together soon, and he couldn't wait. Lyra was thinking about what Damon had said. She honestly thought he had understood her, trusted her not to do anything like he accused. Seems he was just another liar disguised as a friend.
Elijah looked over at Lyra, he could tell she was still upset. If he and Niklaus hadn't been at her home, Damon would have never said what he did. Still, he should have never attacked her like that, she saved many with her actions. Finally having enough of the silence he spoke.
"You did nothing wrong Lyra" he told her quietly. Lyra looked to him surprised, how did he know?
Sighing, she quietly replied, "I just thought Damon was a friend. He seemed like he actually cared for Teddy and I. He knew the reason I left England but he still accused me of the same".
Elijah, personally, didn't care for Damon but he hated seeing lyra upset. "He knew what he said was wrong. He asked me to tell you he was sorry, that he jumped to conclusions and was wrong for hurting you like he did" parking the car, he turned his body towards her. Grabbing her hand he added, "You're an amazing woman who saved many lives today by helping Niklaus".
Lyra looked to Elijahs face, "Thank you. I needed to hear that" she said quietly, pausing she then smiled and asked, "Would you like to come in"
Elijah unbuckled and flashed to her door. Opening it, he helped Lyra out and followed her inside.
~~~~~~
Lyra placed the snacks she made on the table and sat next to Elijah on the sofa. Elijah was finding a movie for them to watch, finally settling on one. Lyra cuddled into his side and relaxed when he wrapped his arm around her.
They had been sitting there for a bit and Lyra was trying to get her nerve up. She wasn't exactly experienced, there had only been a quickie in the broom cupboard at Hogwarts, so this made her nervous. It was a good nervous though.
Finally, she moved. Leaning her face up, she kissed Elijah on the jaw. Elijahs hand that had been on her hip squeezed. He quickly turned his face into hers, taking control of the kiss. He was a really good kisser.
When Elijah pulled back so she could take a breath, he noticed the small smile on Lyras lips. Pulling her up, he pulled her onto his lap with her legs on each side of his. She couldn't even register the surprise before his lips were back on hers.
Elijah hadn't been sure if Lyra had felt even remotely the same, but he had his answer now. He hadn't wanted to scare her off by moving too fast.
Lyra knew Elijah was much older than she. He was such a gentleman, and he was good with her son. She couldn't help but catch feelings. Lyra felt brave now that he had returned her kiss. Lyra rolled her hips against him, she caught the feel of him through his suit pants.
Elijahs one hand tightened on her waist, the other threaded through her hair to grasp the back of her head. When she rolled her hips again, he kissed down her neck to a spot by her collarbone. Lyra let out a small moan and he smirked against her neck before switching their positions.
Laying Lyra flat on the sofa, his weight above her. Pulling back from the kiss, he looked to her eyes surprised. "Your eyes are glowing, lovely" he told her.
Lyra was trying to get her brain to work. Elijahs weight felt amazing on top of her. Smiling up at him, she grabs his tie and pulls him back to kiss.
~~~~~~
Elijah heard Teddy's sniffle before Lyra's wards reacted. "Teddy's awake" he told her, kissing her one last time before letting her up.
Lyra smiles at him, "I'll be right back" she heads off up the stairs to her son.
Coming back down the stairs, Lyra talks quietly with Teddy. Walking over, she sits next to Elijah. When Teddy spots him, he lays his head on his mother's shoulder and stares at the man next to her.
"Sorry, he's not felt the best so he's officially with me for the rest of the night" Lyra tells Elijah quietly.
Elijah smiles at her, rubbing a hand over Teddy's hair, he tells her "It's just fine, lovely. Your son will always be your first priority. It's what makes you such an amazing mother" Lyra smiles at that. They're both surprised when Teddy reaches for Elijah.
Looking to Lyra, she smiles and nods. Elijah takes Teddy into his arms. When Teddy cuddles in, Lyra leans into him as well. Elijah places one arm around her while holding Teddy with the other and they settle in for the rest of the movie.
~~~~~~
Elijah is startled when the door opens. He knows it won't be anyone who wants to harm Lyra or Teddy, but he's stuck. Teddy is cuddled to his chest, between Lyra and himself. Looking to the door, he tries to slide out when he notices it's Niklaus.
Klaus pauses at the sight. He knew his brother liked the witch. When he looks towards the boy, he can feel that he has part wolf in him. He also notices that his own wolf see's Lyra as part of the pack because of Elijah. The boy seems to be a cub of the pack. Interesting.
Elijah has finally freed himself from the tangle of limbs and stood to greet his brother. Indicating for him to follow, he heads to the kitchen. Entering, he's surprised to see Bipsy is already in the kitchen cooking.
"Bipsy has the special drinks Missy Lyra had Bipsy gets for yous" the little elf tells the men, snapping. Two mugs appear on the table and they can smell the blood in them. They thank her and sit to drink.
"How was it" Elijah asks his brother.
"Amazing! I remember everything and I can change at will" Klaus explains, smiling. He tells Elijah everything he did last night. When he's done, he raises a brow and asks cheekily, "So what exactly did I walk in on"
Elijah glares at him but answers, "We had been watching a movie when Teddy woke. It seems we fell asleep at some point"
Klaus smile widens, "You looked awfully cozy with the witch and little wolf" Wen Elijah looks at him questioningly, he says "My wolf sees them as pack. Like with you and our siblings, they are now family. Also, it seems my wolf can sense the wolf in the boy. He's not a full wolf though" Klaus pauses, thinking back to what Lyra had said yesterday, "He wasn't feeling well yesterday, I think it may have been because of the moon"
Elijah thought about that, "It could be. Lyra did say their werewolves were different than you. Maybe he will have symptoms but not change"
Klaus agreed, they would have to keep an eye on the boy. He could help him if needed, he owed that much and more for Lyra breaking his curse. They spoke for another ten minutes when Lyra and Teddy walked in.
"Morning" Lyra greeted, hiding a yawn. Teddy looked to Klaus and growled. Everyone looked surprised.
Klaus laughed then he changed to his hybrid eyes and flashed them at Teddy. Teddy giggled and flashed a copy back. Lyra and Elijah laughed at that. Bipsy floated food to the table and they all sat to eat.
"Teddy seems to be feeling better" Elijah pointed out.
"Maybe it was a twenty-four-hour bug" Lyra agreed, cutting food for her son and missing the look between the men.
Klaus decided to put it out there, "I think he was affected by the full moon" When Lyra looked between the brothers, they explained what they had discussed.
Lyra thought for a moment, then sadly said "Remus use to feel sick around the moon. I was hoping Teddy wouldn't have gotten the bad traits" she looked to her son. Having a thought, "I wonder if I could adjust the wolfsbane potion to help him" Both men looked at her confused. "It's a potion that helps a werewolf keep their senses during the transformation"
~~~~~~~
They had just finished breakfast when Lyra brought up the elephant in the room. "We need to deal with Mikael. I don't like the thought of him being alive. None of you are safe until he's dead"
Elijah agrees, "We would need a weapon to kill him and we would have to find his location"
"What about Katherine? She's enough of a scheming bitch that she should know something" Lyra says.
Klaus tells them he will find out. Needing to leave Alarics apartment and find his own place, he was going to leave. They agree to regroup later and see what information they can find. Klaus thanks Lyra again and tells his brother he will wait by the car, leaving Elijah and Lyra alone.
"Thank you for staying" Lyra says quietly. He looks to her with a questioning look, "I'm sure last night wasn't what you're use to but thank you"
Standing, Elijah pulls Lyra into his arms, "I enjoyed every bit of last night" he tells her, leaning down to kiss her. Pulling back he jokes, "Maybe next time we will make it off the couch"
Lyra blushes, "Maybe we will" she replies and kisses him again. Elijah tells her and Teddy goodbye before heading out to his brother.
~~~~~~
Lyra had just finished bathing Teddy and herself, when the wards alerted her to a visitor. Damon was here. She didn't want to deal with him honestly, she just wanted to ignore him but knew she wouldn't be able to.
She waited for him to knock, taking a deep breath she walked over and opened the door. She didn't let him enter and stared at him with a blank face.
"Can I help you" Lyra asked.
Damon sighed, "I'm sorry. I know I jumped to conclusions, and I know my apology isn't enough but I overreacted. I know you wouldn't betray me. Lyra I am so sorry, and I don't know how to make it up to you"
"You know, I thought you were my friend. I thought you had listened when I told you about being betrayed by my so called friends" Lyra had started quietly but her voice started to rise, "The fact that you could even think that I would betray you just shows that you haven't ever trusted or cared for me"
Damons shoulders drop, "Lyra, I fucked up. I will never be able to apologize enough and I regret everything I said," he paused, when he continued it only made it worse, "I was worried for Elena and when I saw Klaus, I lost it"
Lyra couldn't listen anymore, "Damon, that's your problem! Why do you care so much for Elena? She's dating your brother and treats you like shit" he tried to interrupt but Lyra continued, "Elena doesn't want you if you're you. She only want's you when you're like Stefan and we both know why that's fucked. She uses you and you let her for some reason! I wanted you as my friend, you not the you who pretends to be someone you're not" her rant is cut off by Teddy's cry. Taking a deep breath, she finishes, "I like having you as my friend, we get along and I trusted you. I can't watch as Elena tries to change you all while playing you and dating your brother. When you finally pull your head out of her ass, I'll be here".
Damon doesn't say anything, he only glares and turns to leave. Lyra goes to her son. She had just lost her friend and it hurt.
~~~~~~~~~
Klaus had questioned Katherine for two days, he had to drain the vervain first, and knew he needed to speak with Lyra. They had plans to meet that afternoon at the grill. Making sure Katherine couldn't escape her new prison, he took off.
Elijah had arrived to the grill first for their lunch. He had offered to pick Lyra and Teddy up but she said she had a couple of errands to run. So lost in thought, he hadn't noticed when someone joined him.
"Elijah, have you spoken to Lyra? She hasn't answered my calls, and I didn't want to bother her by stopping by unannounced" Jenna asked.
Elijah hadn't realized that Lyra had cut Jenna off after the Damon thing. Looking to her he said, "When we broke the curse, your niece and her friends showed. Comments were made and she fought with Damon, it seems she's isolating from further pain" Jenna looks surprised.
"What comments? I though Damon would have been happy" Jenna was really confused.
Elijah explained what had happened, before and during, and how Lyra had reacted.
Jenna was upset, "He should have known better! She told me that she told him about those people" she froze, looking to Elijah she blurted, "Oh god, she doesn't think I feel the same, does she?"
Elijah tried to calm Jenna. Niklaus of course didn't make the situation better when he walked over and sat next to her.
"Brother, Miss Jenna" Klaus greeted. Jenna looked confused until Elijah introduced him.
"Jenna, this is my brother, Niklaus" he said.
She looked surprised. "So, this is what you really look like"
"Yes. Sorry about possessing your boyfriend, I needed information" Klaus says, Jenna rolls her eyes.
Looking back to Elijah, she tells him, "Lyra needs to stop ignoring me. I know she saved a lot of people, me included" she glares at Klaus, "Elena and the others can go climb a tree"
"If you would like, she should be here shortly with Teddy" Elijah tells her.
Jenna looks between the men, "Okay, maybe she won't ignore me if you're both here too" Klaus looked curious at this so Elijah filled him in.
