The ballroom of the compound is full of decorators and caterers who are setting up for the impending wedding. Jackson has just arrived, and he and Hayley walk around and take it all in.

"Ohhhh, I so do not belong in your world." Jackson says as they both continue to look around.

Hayley scoffs. "My world? Give me some credit. I'm not exactly the girl who sat around fantasizing about her wedding day. And, if I had..." She gestures to a huge wedding cake being pushed on a cart by a caterer.  ".. it probably would have looked a little less... this."

"Yeah..." He turns and looks at Hayley. "You getting cold feet?" He asks her.

Hayley shakes her head. "No. This is what's right. For Hope, for our pack."

Jackson nods in agreement as Klaus enters the room.  "Hayley. If I might intrude, there's someone who wishes to say hello." Klaus speaks up as he gestures for the couple to join him in the courtyard.

Hayley and Jackson share a look before she joins Klaus and walks into the courtyard, with Jackson following behind her. Just as they make it into the courtyard, Cami and Elijah, who is now wearing fresh clothes, walk in from the opposite direction. Cami has Hope in her arms,while Elijah is holding Evelyn and they smile at them.

Hayley turns to Klaus in a panic "You brought them here? Finn could be anywhere!"

"I've taken precautions. There'll be no uninvited guests at your wedding, and after, your wolves will be the first line of defense to this home. No more running, Queen." Klaus reassures the panicked mother as he smiles at her and gestures for her to go see Hope. Elijah nods at them encouragingly. Hayley goes and takes Hope out of Cami's arms, and Hope immediately begins cooing and babbling happily when she finally gets to see her mother. Hayley and Cami both giggle contently as Hayley walks toward Jackson.

"Hope, this is Jackson." Hayley introduced her daughter to her fiancé. "Jackson, this is Hope."

Jackson smiles when he sees her, and Hope stares at him in wonder. When Jackson holds out his hand, Hope clutches his fingers tightly and coos at him. Hayley and Jackson can't help but smile at her.

"And she is?" Jackson asked as he motioned to Evelyn who was babbling in her father's arms. The werewolf was a little confused,last he heard Klaus and Hayley only had one child.

Elijah cleared his throat before walking up to Jackson and Hayley "Jackson,this is my daughter Evelyn." The werewolf's eyes widen upon hearing she was Elijah daughter,vampires couldn't procreate. He would have to ask Hayley about it when they were alone. "Evelyn,this is your uncle Jackson."
