Who knew Elijah and Klaus could be such mother hen.

It's been a week since Senior prank night, and Elijah, Klaus, and Zola left Mystic Falls as fast as they could. Rebekah stayed back to keep an eye on the little scooby gang with Stefan and Tyler.

They also decided a week ago that once they got into Portland, Zola would get her surgery, which brings us back to the present.

"You know I got heart surgery not a knee replacement right? I can walk Nikki." Zola sarcastically says. Elijah laughs

Klaus looks down at Zola in his arms and smirks at her "Hush it. You are hurt and what kind of mate would I be if I let my hurt mate walk"

Zola scoffs, wiggles in his arm until he lets her go. Klaus finally gives in let's her go.

"Finally" Zola smirks in victory.

She walks into the house they occupied at the moment. She walks into the living room and throws herself on to the couch. Zola groans from the tugging of the stitches she has.

"Elskan, be careful" Elijah scolds, setting her bags down by the front door.

"I know, I know. Geesh, don't you guys have things to do like I don't know, search for that werewolf pack that's located here" Zola pointedly stared at them, trying to get them from hovering so much.

"Well I found a pack already, and sired their alpha. Now I have him transitioning the rest of the pack for me while I am taking care of you darling." Klaus states, smirking at her.

"You are more important right now elskan, Klaus can go do his hybrid things later tonight" Elijah says, moving her feet so he can sit down with her legs on him.

Zola sighs, knowing she isn't going to win this.

"But don't you need to be there?"

Klaus shakes his head, moving her head so he can place it on his lap. "No, I gave him tons of my blood and some bags of doppelganger blood and he knows what to do with it. And Elijah right love, you are more important right now"

He reaches down and gives her a kiss on the forehead. Zola starts to feel tired and drained, and her eyes start to flutter close. She goes to sleep while Elijah and Klaus talk among themselves.

"Have Rebekah called about more news on Mikael?" Klaus muttered to Elijah, who was looking at Zola's sleeping form.

"Yes, she said she is playing them. They think she hates you and is trying to turn my against you as well" Elijah sighs

"They don't know that you guys already know that I killed mother?"

Elijah shakes his head and looks at Klaus, seeing him tense up with the mention of their mother.

"I'll always stand with you Niklaus. And once father is defeated, we can undagger our brothers. Leave that horrid place, and go live happily with our mate somewhere far away"

----------------------------------

"Lijah!" Zola calls out.

Having woken up from her nap, Zola wanted to go shower. But trying to get dress is starting to become a hassle for her, seeing as she can't raise her arms in the air without feeling her stitches are going to rip.

"Yes astin?" Elijah answers from behind the door.

"I need help" She whines

"Can I come in?"

"Yes"

Elijah goes into the bathroom to see her sitting on the toilet with her shirt on the floor, and the towel wrapped around her chest. "Is your shirt giving you problems?"

"Yes, I can't get it on."

Elijah nods, telling her to wait a moment and leaves. He comes back with one of his button down shirts.

"This would probably be best to wear until the stitches come out love" He hands her the shirt, turning to leave but she stops him.

"Help me please?" Zola whispers out, pleading.

Elijah nods, making eye contact with her and not straying his eyes any further. Being the gentleman he is.

He helps into the shirt and buttoning it for her. But they didn't realize how close they had gotten, staring at each other lovingly.

Both of their eyes keep trailing up and down from their eyes and lips. Zola gulp.

With Klaus, their kiss happened quickly and she didn't get to think about it before it happened, but now she can, and she is nervous.

Zola starts to get flustered and Elijah sees that, and starts to smirk.

"Relax elskan, we don't have to do anything you don't want to do"

"But I want to"

He grabs her chin gently, pulling it up so she can look at him

"Are you sure?"

Zola nods

He tilts his head to the side as he moves closer to her. Zola closes her eyes, as she can feel the slight breathing on her face getting closer, as the distance in between them decreases even more.

Elijah places his lips onto hers, barely moving them, wanting to go slow for Zola sake.

He moves his hand towards her back, pulling her in tighter. Zola wraps her arms around his neck, having to tippy toe to reach.

Elijah starts to move his lips against her a little faster, and Zola notices it, and does the same.

After a few minutes that felt like hours to the both of them, they pull apart, Zola panting hard from the lack of air.

"Wow" Zola mutters

"Yeah, wow"

Elijah pulls back a little, letting her get some breathing space. "We should go downstairs, Astin, Niklaus just came back with the take out you asked for."

Zola nods, face red. Walks down hand in hand with Elijah downstairs to get her food.

In the kitchen, Zola didn't want to be anywhere else but besides them. She wants their touch on her, having Klaus and Elijah put their hand on her thighs while she eats.

They knew it was because of the mate bond. Now that she has kiss them both and felt the endless sparks, their mate bond strengths and will continue to strength everyday. And both of them are delighted about this, but again, every good moment must come to an end.

Elijah's phone starts to ring and he takes it out of his jacket pocket, he notices that it's Rebekah calling him. "Give me a moment elskan" He pecks her lips and walks out, not wanting to disturb her eating time.

Zola starts to blush again from the brief movement, and turns her head a bit to see Klaus's reaction. Klaus is smirking at her, enjoying her red face.

"Are you okay, love?"

"Are you guys not jealous? I know that you know what happened upstairs, and you're not trying to be like all overprotective matey"

"Well at first, I was jealous, having to share the person who was meant for me with my brother, and it did come to blows and threatening on each of our part. But eventually we knew it would do you more harm if we didn't try to come together and bond so we did. We understand that we would share you and our bond. So don't worry about us being jealous of one another, love" Klaus explains to Zola, pecking her lips as well.

Zola nods, and finishes her food.

Elijah walks in, and sighs "The scooby gang has taken it upon themselves to plan to lure you back into Mystic Falls tomorrow, for Mikael to try and take you down"

"Wait, isn't tomorrow homecoming?" Zola asks out loud

"It is?"

"Yeah, technically I would be a senior but I graduated earlier. BUT I still get texts about school events. Tomorrow is homecoming"

Klaus smirks, and that's when Zola knew he was planning something Klaus-like.

"I probably should've just stayed quiet butttt, no killing unless it's your father okay? Okay." Zola says, putting her dish into the sink, and walking out the kitchen.

"Excuse me love, but where do you think you are going without us? Did you forget you just had surgery"

"How could i?" Zola sarcastically says "I'm going upstairs to pack our stuff"

"Let us love."

Zola sighs, nodding

It's going to be a long day tomorrow. Let's just hope she doesn't rip any stitches before her next appointment.
