A/N: This is probably my favorite Hailee Steinfeld gif.

[Elijah and Adela are in a baby store shopping for the baby. Adela turns excited to Elijah holding a toy in her hand]

ADELA: We should get the bunny. Every kid should have prized stuffed animals. I think we should go traditional and get her bunny. I think it's perfect. 

ELIJAH: We can get the bunny.

[Adela smiles happily and kisses Elijah on the cheek]

ADELA: [cut and innocently] Thank you daddy.

[Klaus is scaling the rooftops of various buildings in the French Quarter when Elijah calls him from the compound, while Adela and Hayley impatiently stands next to him]

KLAUS: Yes, brother, what is it?

ELIJAH: It appears our wolves have gone astray, brother. 

HAYLEY: [cuts in] They should have been back hours ago. 

ELIJAH: [interrupts] We need to find them.

KLAUS: Well, that might be a bit tricky. You see, we've located their car on a back road in the middle of nowhere. I suspect they've been shanghai'd.

ADELA: And you didn't feel that you needed to share this information?

KLAUS: It was my intention to present you with a problem only after I had found an appropriate solution.

ADELA: Please do enlighten us.

KLAUS: I'm closing in on it as we speak. The only person who would be bold enough to snatch my wolf allies is the one who has the most to lose. 

ELIJAH: [sighs] Marcel.

HAYLEY: [clearly scared] No, he'll kill them!

ADELA: Probably. 

KLAUS: Genevieve assures me that Marcel has procured a cloaking spell. The only witch who will aid Marcel is Davina. I just need to get one last bit of leverage before I pay her a visit.

[Adela, Klaus and Elijah arrive at the docks and find Jackson, who is still bound to his chair and who was left with a black hood over his head. However, Marcel and Diego are both gone. Jackson flinches when he's found, until he realizes he's being rescued]

KLAUS: [grabs Jackson's face in his hand] Accolades to Marcel, he did quite a dance across the bridge of your nose. Where is he now?

[Jackson looks around, and then looks down at the floor to find that there is an explosive rigged to the legs of his chair, which is connected to a crate that has an even larger bomb inside]
