Mikaelson Mansion

11:30pm

After getting the boys to all shower and change after their impromptu food fight, Elijah and Vanessa got them settled in their sleeping beds in the great room.

Elijah put on a movie until they fell asleep and then quietly walked upstairs. He and Vanessa fell into a deep sleep, but Elijah woke up a few hours later and went downstairs to check on the boys. Henrik and Preston were still asleep in their sleeping bags, but Finn and Kadan were up drinking cans of Coke and eating Doritos. They had a horror movie on the television that Elijah snapped off.

Elijah hissed, "Kadan, your mother said you're allergic to that red dye. Put that down."

"Daddy? Why are you up so late?" Finn said knocking over his can in his haste to hide it.

Kadan griped, "That's a lie. She just doesn't want us eating junk."

Elijah grabbed the chips and the cokes.

"Why did you get this junk?" Elijah asked.

Finn looked uncomfortable, "We got them from the game room." Klaus let the older boys have this kind of junk from time to time, but Elijah and Vanessa never allowed it.

"You mean you snuck the whole way up there and stole them out of the boys' frig?" Elijah pressed.

Finn nodded, "We just wanted a few."

"Finn, you know why you're not allowed to have this stuff, especially at night. We're going to have a long talk about this tomorrow. Now, back in your sleeping bags," Elijah said sternly. He was tired and irritated.

"I'm not tired," Kadan whined.

"In the sleeping bag," Elijah repeated. He grabbed some paper towels and poured the Coke down the sink. Elijah laid down on the couch above the four sleeping bags

"Dad, you can go upstairs now," Finn whispered.

"I don't think so. Go to sleep," Elijah said quietly.

Mikaelson Mansion

10am

The younger boys had woken up around 6am. Elijah got them cereal and put on the tv for them. Kadan and Finn slept a little later after their late night binge, but finally got up ate and then changed for the day. Someone let Sadie out of the garage by mistake. All of the boys had a great time playing with her.

Elijah said, "I thought you were afraid of dogs?"

Preston said, "We love dogs! We're just not allowed to play with them because they are too dangerous."

Henrik laughed, "Sadie doesn't bite."

The nanny ended up picking up both boys. Elijah wanted to ask where the parents were, but didn't want to be rude in front of the boys. He was exactly happy about the broken mirror, the food fight, and the contraband food last night, but he could tell the boys had a great time.

"What do you say?" she prompted them. They both said thank you and left.

Elijah breathed a huge sign of relief and locked the door behind them. He had spent a restless night on the couch and could have used a nap himself, but as usual, he had plenty to do even on a weekend.

Today was the day for Kai to win the bet. Kai winked at Dana. Dana nodded slightly in response to her brother's signal. All she had to do was plant the cigarettes in Rachael's purse and then they have Rachael open her purse in front of Freya or Klaus. That would be an instant three strikes. Rachael had already had two for talking back and refusing to put her dishes in the sink, so the cigarettes would take her over the limit quickly. Kai would win the bet, split the winnings with Dana. And Rachael, well, she would get what was coming to her, in Kai's opinion. She had only grown ruder and more surly the last few days.
