ELIJAH MIKAELSON FELL IN LOVE with a human back in the early 1900s. After years of believing he will never have true love again, Daphne was the one to save him. Of course, Elijah had his family, but his love for this human, Daphne was eternal. This love for her was able to get Daphne pregnant.

When Elijah first heard of Daphne's pregnancy, he couldn't believe it. How could a vampire possibly get a human pregnant?

The witches then found that the child would be an abomination to nature, giving complications to The Original family, but there was nothing they wouldn't do to save the baby.

There were multiple instances where Daphne would have pregnancy scares, but Elijah was there for her, mellowing the child in her stomach.

The time came and the baby was going to be born. Elijah was ecstatic and couldn't wait to see his baby girl, whereas, Niklaus was hesitant on how to feel about his future niece.

"Brother, are you sure you don't want to kill the child afterward? You know how nature will react to this baby." Elijah immediately shot daggers at his brother and wanted to run a stake through his heart right there.

"Niklaus, that is completely out of the question. I will be here for my daughter no matter what and if I have to kill you to keep her safe, I will not hesitate to drive a stake through your heart." Klaus was not threatened by his brother and let out a dry chuckle before leaving the hospital waiting room.

Elijah entered the hospital room and his daughter was so close to entering the world.

"Push sweetheart, push, she's coming out soon." With one last push, Daphne popped out their child.

"Oh, she's beautiful." Elijah tried his best to not let the blood ruin this special moment, but luckily, his happiness for the child overruled the blood lust.

"What should we name her-" Daphne stopped mid-sentence and was now suddenly gasping for air, complications starting to arise.

"W-What's wrong with her? Doctor, what's wrong?!" Nurses started to rush through the room, making Elijah's child start to cry.

"Shhh, it's okay, love. Don't cry." Even though Daphne was having complications, he tried his best to keep his child calm.

Elijah wanted to desperately give Daphne his blood, but she made him keep his word on this and Elijah has always given his word.

"Sir, you need to leave," one of the nurses said. Elijah didn't even have time to process what was being said, soon after he found himself on the other side of the hospital room.

"Elijah, what's wrong, did something happen to the baby?" Rebekah ran to her brother, wondering if her newfound niece was okay.

"My child is okay, but Daphne seems to be having complications." For the first time in a long time, Elijah shed a tear and Rebekah did not hesitate to hug her older brother.

After they separated their hug, a nurse came out of the room with a remorseful expression evident on her face.

"Mr. Mikaleson, I'm sorry, but we couldn't save her." Elijah wanted to turn off his humanity right then and there, but he knew he had to be there to watch his daughter grow up.

There was no way he would ever miss that.

The nurse gave his daughter back to Elijah and he carried her with tears slightly streaming down his cheeks.

"What are you going to name her, brother?"

"How about Ophelia? It's sweet and elegant. Definition of savior."

"That's beautiful, Elijah." Kissing the top of Ophelia's forehead, he vowed to never leave her side again and wouldn't dare to ever put her in danger.

"Let's go home, sweetheart."

"Welcome home, newest Mikaleson, when you're older, I'm doing to teach you how to prank your aunt and uncle," Kol said, a smile vastly spreading across his face as he was holding his newborn niece, already planning her rebellious future.

Kol looked up to see his brother slouching, sadness clearly shown.

"What's wrong Elijah? We should be happy for a moment like this."

"Daphne is dead. She had complications while giving birth to Ophelia." The siblings stayed quiet for a while before Kol apologized to his brother, knowing how much he loved Daphne.

Trying to change the subject, Kol diverted the subject to Ophelia's name.

"Ophelia, that's a beautiful name, brother."

After another moment of silence, Klaus came barging through the doors, wearing his dinner on his button-up shirt.

"Brother's and sister, you missed a delicious dinner." Klaus walked past his siblings but stopped in place, his peripheral catching sight of a small moving object in his brother's arms.

"Is that the child of the abomination of nature I see in Kol's arms?" Klaus was about to take another step forward to Kol but was stopped when Elijah stepped between them, shielding his daughter.

"Niklaus, if you want to be in my daughter's life, I need you to give me your word that you will not do anything to harm her."

Klaus stepped forward once more and stared into Elijah's eyes.

"You have my word, brother."

Elijah stepped aside and Klaus proceeded to stare at the small child. It was that moment then and there where Klaus felt genuine emotion. The same emotions he felt as a human.

It only took one look at Ophelia and he fell utterly in love. All those thoughts about killing the child because it was an abomination to nature, completely left his thoughts.

"C-Can I hold her?" Kol held Ophelia over to Klaus and the first touch he had with his niece made him forget about the bad centuries he has had.

"She is beautiful, brother."

Elijah smiled then gently grabbed Ophelia from Klaus' arms and held her in his own.

"From this day forward, we will protect Ophelia, no matter what. I need your guys' words that you will protect her," Elijah said, mostly looking at Klaus.

"Of course, Elijah. She is family."

The Mikaelsons then held hands, trusting that they will do anything to take care of Ophelia. No matter the circumstances.

"Always and forever."
