After the architects left, Klaus and Elijah called everyone in for a family meeting.

"So, the architects just left and we have some plans that we would like to share," Klaus smiled.

"The indoor/outdoor pool is a go, there will be a waterslide, diving board, jacuzzi area, sauna, and small pool house," Elijah started as the kids cheered.

"Freya, your greenhouse will be near your current greenhouse. It will be automated and have an irrigation system second to none. I think you will be pleased," Klaus shared.

"Thank you. This means more herbs, more salve. Kai and I were just discussing a business plan for my new salve. Watch out, world," Freya added. Some of the older kids groaned and Tyler threw a used napkin at Kai.

"Gross," Kai laughed. He was starting to feel more at home each day.

"Some of you are wondering about the bedroom situation. Let me lay it out and then you all can give us your input. So, the new 4th floor will be divided into a bedroom for all of you boys: Tyler, Matt, Jeremy, Connor, Erik, and Kai. There will be a divider wall so you can make it two separate rooms if you choose or one large one. All of your devices and game systems will be houses in the new game room and movie theater. We'll also more the weight and work out room up there. Kol has agreed to move up there to a new, much grander suite, where he will can also supervise," Klaus announced.

"That means I'm in charge up there, lads. No shenanigans, unless I'm involved, or ya know what I'll do with your disobedient hides," Kol joked.

"You don't need to tell me twice," Kai muttered under his breath.

"Vampire hearing!" Erik prodded him.

Kai flushed, "Oh yeah." Everyone laughed. Rachael rolled her eyes and looked at Dana. It was clear that that family was quickly accepting Kai as a member. With his quick wit, charm, and good looks, she supposed it was inevitable, but she was a little envious all the same.

"What about us, Daddy? Do we have to live in the basement?" Penny scoffed.

"No, Miss Penelope, you do not have to live in the basement. The architects are going to turn the game room into a new, more appropriate bedroom, for you. The twins and you can stay in there. Or one of you can move in with Davina. Both rooms are large enough. I know you enjoyed the rotating shoe closet so that will be a feature of the closet. We will also add a laundry room to each floor. That will be expensive, but it will save Uncle Elijah from having a nervous breakdown at some point," Klaus shared.

"Thank you! None of you have any idea the amount of laundry that goes through this house. Now, you can all start doing your own!" Elijah smirked happily.

"We will turn Kol's current room into a guest room and Matt and Jeremy's room into a possible nursery. Tyler, if you and Caroline want, you can either take the guesthouse or your current room on the second floor. Uncle Elijah and Vanessa are going to take over the girls' current room. Henrik and Finn can come their room. In time, they can move up to the 4th floor as there is still room up there. Our art studio will stay on the 3rd floor. Aunt Freya has an announcement, I believe," Klaus shared.
