Elejah Always

A little happy

Time passed by, as it does, and they all continued with their lives in a positive way, never to forget the difficulties of the past supporting one another as best as they could.

This whole ordeal Elena, Elijah, Kol went through made them appreciate so much more what they had, the people that were around them, old friends and new, especially their loved ones.

"So, what are you doing today?" Elijah asked his wife as he brought the breakfast at the terrace where Elena tried to make herself comfortable on the lounge sofa. She was now in her ninth month and her delivery date was just a few days ahead.

"Rebekah, Sophie, Bonnie and Caroline are coming over for late lunch/baby shower. There is nothing much I can do. My feet are swollen, my back hurts, I am big as a whale. I need a distraction"

"I thought you will not do the baby shower till after the baby comes- we don't know what we will get?" Elijah said helping Elena sit more comfortably.

"It doesn't matter. I said no blue and no pink anyway- it's too stereotypical. Plus, I need something happening- so I told Rebekah yes to the baby shower and only the six of us. We will make a huge party for the baby later." Elena explained.

"You are really getting into the party thing" Elijah remarked.

"Yeah- after everything we've been through- why not? Why shouldn't we party? Let's celebrate life"

"You're right" Elijah said smiling at her and now offered to give her a foot massage.

"Oh, thank you" Elena said happily."I knew now why I married you"

"Now you know?" Elijah teased.

"You are the best foot massager  in the world" Elena said."I mean- it is your hands that are just -oh- this soo gooood"

Elijah was happy seeing her relaxing. His soul whispered a little thanks  to the Universe for giving him precious moments like these, moments that at one time he thought would might never be.

"Did I told you lately how happy I am?" a smile shone from his eyes.

"No. But you don't have to tell me. I see it. I feel it"

"Well, I think I should say it anyway. "

"Of course, you should. We deserve a little happy" Elena remarked.

"We do, don't we?"

The way he said underlined a little bit of scared to be really happy and Elena now reached to him with stretching his hand out to him to come closer to her.

Elijah immediately moved to assist her as he thought she needed him to help her get up or something and she pulled him towards her pouting a little, which meant she wanted  a kiss. And he kissed her dearly.  

"It will all be fine," she said to him," we deserve more than just a little happy."

He nodded and now kissed her again. 

"Anyone home?" they heard Rebekah shout out all of a sudden.

They both moved as if they were caught in an inappropriate moment with Elijah shouting back that they are up on the terrace. 

"She has to return the key" Elijah said and Elena nodded saying in a whisper, "You will tell her!"

Elijah made a face like can you not do it?- and Elena shook her head saying in a very low voice, "You will have to"

What it was they both felt like they would be hurting her feelings, as Rebekah has been there for both of them whenever they needed her and she had this exclusive right to come and go as she pleased.
