Alaric walked into the Grill with Luna on his hip. He had been taking care of her since she showed up at the school yesterday. Damon had visited for about an hour but then he asked his friend to look after the little girl for a while longer. Not that he minded. The teacher saw Jenna sitting at one of the tables, looking depressed "What has you looking so down?"
Jenna's head snapped up and she smiled at the duo "Hey, Ric. Luna. How is my favourite four-year-old."
"Good," she bounced "Uncle Dami asked Ric to take care of me."
Ric and Jenna exchanged looks over the little girl's head "I'm not quite sure what he planned but it's Damon, so…?"
"Ah," the older woman nodded and stole Luna from Ric's arms, settling her on her own lap "About your question… I'm apparently playing historical society hostess to some writer who's doing his book on small-town Virginia."
Alaric blinked "Well, that sounds…"
"Lame?" Jenna offered, tickling Luna's sides. She really liked the little girl. For some reason, the four-year-old could wrap almost everyone around her little finger. First, big bad Damon, Stefan, Ric… They were all suckers for her "Yeah, but Carol Lockwood played the 'dead husband' card, said she was too busy to deal. Plus, my sister kept most of the archives, so there you have it."
"Want a little helper?" Alaric questioned, gesturing to Luna "Damon wanted to do something and I'm not sure if I want to know… Better she's safe with you."
Jenna looked at her boyfriend for a moment and then down at Luna "Is that something you would like to do? Helping out a friend in need?" Luna looked up at her with wide eyes, not really knowing what the two adults were talking about. She blinked a few times and nodded with a tilted head. The two adults snickered at the look and Jenna got up "Well, then." The older woman quickly kissed Ric goodbye and left with Luna in tow "So, let's go meet this mysterious writer." She buckled Luna into her car and took off to Lockwood Mansion where Carol said they would wait.
"Jenna," Carol smiled as soon as the two stepped through the door "Thank you for doing this… Hi, Luna, right? What are you doing with Damon's niece?"
Jenna ruffled the little girl's blonde hair "Babysitting."
"Not a baby," Luna huffed, glaring up at the older woman.
"Fine. I'm looking after her for Damon… Or rather Ric. Men, you know?" Jenna rolled her eyes and looked around "So where is the guy?"
Carol startled into motion "Right. Mr. Smith is in the living room. Please." She lead Jenna and her small aide through the foyer and into the living room where Elijah was waiting "Elijah, this is Jenna Sommers. Jenna, this is Elijah Smith."
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Sommers," Elijah greeted with a small smile, his eyes flashing to the four-year-old at her side. Now that he knew the truth, he couldn't unsee his little brother in her. How Rosemarie hadn't seen it, he didn't know but on the other hand, he was grateful. The fewer people knew, the safer she was. The Original had to admit that she was cute though… Perfect and unique.
"Mr. Smith," Jenna shook his hand "Please call me Jenna."
"Then you may call me Elijah." The Original looked at Carol and smiled "It was nice to meet you, Mrs. Lockwood."
