"The witches could be lying." Klaus told Elijah following his brother to the witch coven who followed the old Gods for magic. Elijah gotten word from the head witch of the coven that Elijah's ex-lover gave birth to his child. Elijah left quickly for the coven with Klaus and Rebekah following after him.

"The coven has no need to lie to me. As they know I will unleash you on them, Niklaus." Elijah tells his brother as they stepped into the manor as younger witches peeked out from doorways as it was their first-time seeing vampires.

"Elijah, you came."

"Where is she, Mary?" Elijah asked as the young witch look to his siblings then ushered them upstairs. They followed the witch down a long hallway coming to a bedroom door and Mary open the door where they saw Elijah's ex and the head coven witch.

"I do not care Ann. The child cannot stay with the coven as her magic will be too great for us to teach her."

"No! You had no right to tell Elijah ab....." There was a loud slap as Ann was shocked while the head which glared at her.

"I am Mother of this coven. My word is law. You went against the Gods to have a child now she shall live with vampire as your punishment."

"Mother Diana as ordered for you to take your daughter for the safety of the coven." Mary whispered to the Originals as Elijah was more than surprised as Ann told him that their relationship was blessed before leaving him nine months later.

"Welcome old ones. I must apologize for calling you here so late at night. Lucille goes bring the baby." Mother Diana order as Lucille was quick to go get the baby as Elijah looked at Ann who looked angry.

"Are you sure the child belongs to my brother?"

"Yes. I felt Mikaelson magic flowing from the girl as Elijah has been the first man in years to enter our coven home." Mother Diana said as Lucille walked in holding a baby and Mother Diana nodded to the witch who handed the baby to Elijah.

Elijah felt his breathing hitched staring at his daughter who smiled up at him as the vampire's heart melted adoring his daughter already. Elijah was already swearing that he would protect her from any harm and Rebekah walked over wanting to see the youngest Mikaelson.

"Her name is Blake Mikaelson and as Mother to our coven I bless her to remain with her father. May the Gods look after her." Mother Diana said as the coven flinched feeling the bond between them and Blake brake.

Elijah looked up at Ann seeing just pure anger on her face then his attention back to his daughter who was reaching for his tie making him smile gently grabbing her little hand.

Elijah indeed adored his daughter after Klaus had his most trusted witch to check that Blake was indeed Elijah's daughter. The girl was now a two-year-old and found out she could crawl making Elijah have to check places to see if the girl got stuck.

"Baba!" Blake cried out sitting at top of the stairs as a baby gate stopped her from going down the stair as both Kol and Finn stopped at the toddler sitting there. They had just had the daggers taken out by Klaus and gotten after Rebekah took them shopping for clothes and to clean them up. So, they were surprised to see a two-year-old sitting there dressed in a cute frilly dress and binky attached to her dress.

"Baba!" Blake cried out again using the railing to stand up as Kol looked to Finn confused just as Elijah came walking out seeing his brothers standing at the bottom of the stairs then looked seeing his daughter.

"Baba!" Blake squealed happily when she saw her father and began bouncing as Elijah climbed the stairs with a smile on his face. There was something about Blake looking up at him with pure joy that brought Elijah just as much joy.

"Now little one how did you get out of your room?" Elijah asked picking her up as she got more excited when her father held her. Elijah smiled taking Blake's little hand placing a kiss on it then turned looking at his brothers.

"Kol, Finn meets your niece, Blake." Elijah tells them shocking them both as they looked at the girl who was playing with Elijah's tie.

"Who......whose is she?"

"Mine, Kol. Her mother is a witch from one of the many covens you founded." Elijah said letting Kol take Blake watching the girl brighten up seeing a new person and patting Kol's face.

"What of her mother?"

"Alive, not allowed to see Blake as long as she is a part of the coven. She apparently endangered her coven." Elijah answered Finn watching Kol with his daughter who was giggling as the vampire tossed her in the air catching her.

Blake sucked on her binky as she sat on her father's arms dressed in a cute red princess style with white stockings and black flats. Klaus had thrown a Christmas ball to ease tensions with people while Elijah smiled swaying with Blake who was giggling around her binky.

"Baba....tree." Blake said pointing to the Christmas tree as Elijah smiled looking at the tree seeing how Klaus over did it with the Christmas tree. The tree was decorated with beautiful reds, golds and sliver decorations as the vampire wanted Blake's first Christmas to be special for her.

"Yes, I see the tree, sweet girl." Elijah said walking over to the family who gathered for a family photo in front of the tree. Elijah placed the girl in Rebekah's lap then stood behind the chair that Rebekah sat in with Klaus and Kol standing on either side of her and Finn stood next to Elijah. The photographer set up ready to take the family photo.

"Look how tired the poor babe is." Rebekah cooed softly as the girl was falling asleep in Finn's arms after the ball had calmed down as Finn gently rubbing her back. While it only had been a few months the others had come to adore the newest Mikaelson much like Elijah had.

"That she is. Sweet little thing, isn't she?" Finn said softly careful to not wake the sleep girl as Kol sat next to the oldest vampire smiling at the sleeping girl.

"She is. Which isn't that hard to believe she is Elijah's." Kol muttered and all three froze when the girl moved then settled back against Finn as they let out a breath. Rebekah leaned over taking off Blake's shoes as Klaus and Elijah walked in smiling seeing Blake asleep in Finn's arms.

"As she been asleep long?"

"No Blake had just fell asleep." Finn says as Klaus started a fire in the fireplace and joined in sitting by the fire enjoying the soft snores of Blake knowing they all had promised Always and Forever to love the girl.
