Y/N's POV

After driving for a while, you all had arrived at Elijah's house. We quickly got out of the house and made your way inside. "Are you guys okay?" Elijah asks. I nod and look over at the kids. "Uhm, can I ask a question?" Benjamin Grey hesitantly asked. "Sure. What it is?" Benjamin Grey hesitates and fidgets with his fingers. "Do you..do you know why they tried to take Oliver?"

Elijah looks at me and I shake my head telling him no. 'You can't tell them. They'll be in danger.' I talk to him through my eyes. It seemed like he understood what I meant as his eyes soften and he gives me a small smile. He looks back at the kids. "No, I don't know why. But let's not talk about it right now, okay?" They nod and follow Elijah as he walks into the living room.

I sigh and walk towards the kitchen table and sit down. I put my face in my hands and sigh. While thinking, I feel a presence behind me and soon followed by hands rubbing my back. "Are you alright, Y/N?" Elijah calmly asked. He was rubbing my back in a soothing way which sorta calmed me. "It's just- I've never experienced or seen anyone go through that. Especially Oliver! H-He's just a little kid, Elijah!" Elijah sighs and stops rubbing my back. I feel my chair scooting back and then feel my feet leave the ground.

I take my face out of my hands and look to see Elijah caring me upstairs. "W-what are you doing, sir?" I curse at myself for stuttering and try to wiggle out of his embrace. "Stop moving, Y/N. And just let me carry you into my room, okay?" I feel my cheeks getting hot and I look away not letting Elijah see my flustered face.

We make it to his bedroom and he opens the door and walks to his bed. He gently put me down and sat next to me. He sighs and looks at me. Brushing a piece of hair out of my face, he scoots closer and lays my head in his chest. "I'm sorry for what I got you into, Y/N. This would have never happened if I never met you."

Narrator's POV
Your heart shattered when he said that. You don't know for what reason, but it hurt when those words came out of his mouth. "Oh.." he could hear the way your voice changed, and he noticed what he had said. "Oh Y/N, that's not what i meant-." You smile and shake your head. "No no, it's fine. Your right. If I had never met you, you and Oliver wouldn't be in all this trouble."

You smile and get up. Before you could get far, Elijah had jumped up and quickly grabbed your wrist and pulling you into his chest. You look up surprised. He smiles softly and slowly puts his hands around your waist. "I didn't mean to make it come out like that." He says softly. You look away still feeling like it is your fault. You feel his hand on your chin and turn you towards him. Elijah had pulled your face closer to his as your nose brush each other. Your face starts feeling hot as you keep eye contact with him. "Ever since that incident at the office, I knew you were the one. You protected Oliver when you didn't have to but you did anyways. I never could have thank you enough for that. Oliver hasn't been that happy since his mom left him, but that all changed when you came along."

You were surprised by his words. He brought his hand up to your face, caressing it and slowly leaning in. You were also leaning in until the bedroom door busted open. You quickly push Elijah away from you and look at the door. You see Oliver had barged in with Benjamin Grey chasing him and Meg laughing. Maxelle and Kimberlyn were recording the whole thing while laughing. "Mommy! Help me!" he screams and and runs your way, hiding behind your legs.

"Hey, that's not fair, Oliver." Benjamin Grey pouted. "Mhm, yes it is. Because my mommy is a shield and so is daddy." he giggles and sticks his tongue at Benjamin Grey. You chuckle and pick Oliver up. "Are you playing fair, Oli?" Oliver looks over at Benjamin Grey who's fake pouting in a corner.

Oliver's face changed into guilt and tried to get down. You put him down and he runs slightly over to Benjamin Grey. "I'm sorry." Oliver puts his head down, frowning slightly with him holding his hands. Benjamin Grey slightly smiles before tackling Oliver to the ground. "Hey!! No fair!" Oliver giggles out making the rest laugh. "Come on, i'm about to make dinner." Elijah says walking out the door.

"I'll be out in a minute." Elijah looks at you worried. "I'll be fine." He nods and leads the kids outside, closing the door. You sigh and look around the room. You see everything is neat and not messy. There are some pictures hanging around the room and some one the desk. You get closer to the desk and see a picture of Elijah and Oliver under a tree, smiling.

You picked it up and brought it close to you're chest.

You were downstairs with the kids and Elijah watching a movie. Soon it was time for the kids to go. "You guys can come anytime you want, okay?" Elijah said. They nodded and headed out.

After saying goodbye to them, it was time for Elijah's bed time. "Cmon Oliver. It's time for bed." Oliver whines and hold onto you're legs. "But I want mommy to sleep with me." Oliver whines, yawning in the process. "Okay, I'll sleep with you, but let's go take a shower okay?" He nods and slowly drags you upstairs. "I'll be in my room, Y/N." Elijah says going in a different direction towards his room.

You nod and continue heading to Oliver's room.

                                           ***

After washing up Oliver and putting him to bed, you make your way to Elijah's room. When you get there, you see Elijah on the bed, without a shirt, sleeping soundlessly on the bed. You smile softly and slowly and quietly close the door. You grab the same shirt you were wearing last night and change in the bathroom. Coming back out, you fold your clothes and make your way to the bed. Not knowing what to do you stand there fidgeting with your fingers, staring at Elijah's back.

You were about to give up and go sleep on the couch until he shifted, staring at you. You froze, in embarrassment. You thought, he must have felt your gaze and it probably made him uncomfortable. Before you could open your mouth, he moves some of the covers and gestures you to lay down. Beside him.

You blush and slowly sit down on the bed. He chuckles softly before turning his whole body towards you. "I'm sorry for intruding you're privacy." You say quietly. He's quiet for a minute until you feel hands wrap around your waist and pulling you down. You shriek silently and look up to be face to face with his chest. You gulp and look up to see him staring at you in amusement. "Your fine, Y/N. Just get some sleep, okay?" You nod and get more comfortable into his embrace.

He fully wraps his arms around you and you snuggle up into his chest feeling his warmth. He smiles before kissing your temple and falling asleep.

You soon fall after.
