The past has way of coming back

A day of celebration

Compound

The reception is still going on in the courtyard , Kara laughs as Hayley's tries to lead their dance but she refuses to yield and spins her wife before catching her wrapping her arms around Hayley's waist and placing a soft kiss to her neck.. oblivious to the looks they're receiving.

Ansel watched from the corner of the room and smiles as he watches his daughter and her wife dance around the courtyard happily.

"Hello." Ansel blinks in surprise when his offered a drink .

"Niklaus.." he says with obvious surprise and takes the proffered drink.

Klaus doesn't look at his father but the happy couple in the middle of the courtyard as he speaks. "I've had a millennium under Mikael's thumb, and before when I was a human .. I have 22 years of him treating me like I was worthless.. of course then I had no idea that my sister had it even worse than I.. and yet.." he shook his head "What I'm trying to say, is that it will take a long time before I come to accept you as a father." He finally takes a look at Ansel's and expects the man to be angry, instead he finds ansel smiling warmly at him.

"Your past , Kara's past was never pretty. I've had the blessing to get to know her as a child. We were able to build a connection as father and daughter for that I'll forever be grateful. But you are my son whether you acknowledge me as your father or not. That's fine. But Until you do, I'll be here, waiting. I've waited a thousand years, What's a few more?"

Klaus tries to hide the growing smile on his face but fails, "Thank you,"

Kara smiled as she and Hayley moved off the dance floor "I know that smile, that smile says it's going according to plan." Hayley spoke up

Kara chuckled and pecked Hayley "This smile? It's a normal smile darling perhaps the champagne is getting to you" she teased.

Hayley's scoffs playfully but her eyes move to where Kara was looking before and finds Ansel standing klaus chatting pleasantly both with small smiles on their faces . "oh.. I see."

Kara hummed "It's nice to see."

"Kara do you mind me cutting in?" Elijah asked walking up to the couple.

Kara shook her head and kissed Hayley's cheek "By all means brother, just make sure to return her,I've gotten rather attached." She joked earning a slap to the arm from Hayley's

"Goof ball"

Kara makes her way from the courtyard when she doesn't catch sight of her eldest sister, she knows a a day or two before the wedding Finn's time finally ran out and Freya was forced to stow away his soul in her pendant and the witch, Vincent had left the Mikaelson home with some scathing comments .

She passed the numerous rooms and listened for freyas heart beat, she sighed a little when she found her eldest sister head buried in a thick grimoire.

"You realize you've missed my wedding."

Freya looked up "I didn't, I watched from afar, wasn't sure whether I was welcome or not." Freya said looking up to her younger sister.

Kara sighs "You are welcome. You're my eldest sister after all."

Freya blinks in surprise "I was under the impression.."

Kara nods cutting Freya off "Things have been tense, trust and family hasn't been two things that hasn't  gone hand in hand for while. But in times of crisis I find Elijah's words ringing true. Family is power. Despite my aloof behavior over the years that continues to be true. You were once lost to us, none of us had the chance to know you .. but you are here now. I for one would like to get to know my eldest sister.."
