"My whole heart for my whole life."
Caelum hissed as they slipped out of bed, holding onto the nightstand for support as they stood on shaky legs. They winced as they moved, their legs sore.
They managed to make it to the bathroom, stopping in shock once they caught their reflection in the mirror.
As they studied their appearance, hands slipped around their waist and Elijah put his face in the crook on their neck.
"Good morning, baby." He muttered, voice husky from just waking up.
Caelum frowns slightly. "'Lijah! Do you see what you did?"
Elijah smirks looking up into the mirror. "I do. I like it, don't you?"
"What am I supposed to do? My whole neck and chest are covered in hickies!" He just laughs at the question.
"Do nothing. Let them see you're mine."
"Jenna will embarrass me, and Caroline will ask me questions, but Jeremy and Tyler are going to be pissed." Caelum replies.
"Let me make it up to you then." Elijah says. Caelum just shakes their head and lets him take them back to the bed.

The phone was ringing as the couple stepped out of the shower, grabbing towels to dry themselves off.
Caelum reached for the phone, answering it after seeing who was calling. "Jenna, what's up?"
"Caelum, you need to come home. Please. Isobel, your birth mother is paying us a visit and I need someone for emotional support."
Caelum paused. "Wait, what!? Please tell me I heard wrong."
"No, she's here and was invited in by John. She wants to talk to all of us together about something. Jeremy is already on his way home."
Elijah and Caelum exchanged a look. "Give me 30 minutes, I just got out of the shower. I'll be there. Love you Jenna."
They sigh and run their hand over their face as they hang up.
"Are you okay? I heard everything." Elijah asks, wrapping his arms around Caelum, pressing a kiss to their chest.
"Just...surprised. I didn't think my birth mother would ever come back. She left Elena and I at a hospital and took off. Why would she come back now?"
"I don't know. She has to have an important reason for it."
"I guess. Just why of all times would she come back now?" Caelum asked. "I mean she could have come back when I got an award in class, or when Elena got a boyfriend. Why now?"
Elijah moved to where he was standing in front of them and hugged them tightly. "I don't know honey. I'm sorry." He wiped away a tear that was threatening to roll down their cheek.
He pressed a light kiss to Caelum's lips, and they returned it. Pulling away, they place their forehead against Elijah's.
"I love you." They murmur, and Elijah smiles.
