1848
A CHILDS WAILING COULD BE HEARD down the pathway. The Mikaelson's could hear it.
"Do you hear that?" the sister, Rebekah asked.
"A baby," one brother, Klaus said.
They followed the cries, finding a baby in a basket. It was crying and it looked starved. Rebekah lifted the baby from the basket, looking into its eyes.
"Oh you poor thing, you've been abandoned, haven't you?"
Klaus lifted the baby from Rebekahs arms.
"We'll bring her with us and raise her. What shall we name her, sister?"
Rebekah looked at the baby, then to Klaus. "Dahlia."
"Dahlia Mikaelson it is."

Dahlia ran around the lawn with a Golden Retriever, which she named Susie when she three. Now, she's five.
"Dahlia, darling!" a voice rang out, one she missed and loved. She turned around and ran towards the house.
"Uncle Kol!" Dahlia gasped as she spotted a second face. "And Uncle Elijah!"
Her little legs ran to them and up the stairs of their porch. She jumped into Kol's arms as he picked her up. "You guys are back! You're back!"
"We are!" Kol gave her a smile as he held her.
"You know how you're the princess of our family, Dahlia?" Elijah asked. He had his hands behind his back.
Dahlia smiled and nodded. She had just lost one of her front teeth the day before, so she had a gap.
Elijah revealed what he was hiding, which was a tiara with emerald jewels on it. Dahlia smiled wide. "A real tiara!"
Elijah smiled and nodded as he placed it on her head, and it practically slipped to her eyes like glasses. "It's too big!" Dahlia giggled, pushing it up.
