Love & marriage

All my children

Diana enters the living room, where Kol and Klaus are. Klaus is on a couch sketching. "Nik. I've been looking for you everywhere. Your sons are fighting again."

"And this is my problem because...?"

"Because your wallet was too tight to buy two beds." Klaus rolls his eyes. "They're so immature." Rebekah walks in. "Well, well, well, there's our girl!" Kol says, blocking her path. "Get out of my way, Kol."

"Out all night. What a scandal! I trust you did better than that commoner? Matt, was it?"

"If you don't shut your mouth, the next thing to come out of it will be your teeth." Klaus grins. "Don't start, Nik!"

"I didn't say anything." 

"I'm bored. Our sister is a strumpet, but at least she's having fun. I need entertainment." Kol says.

"What are you waiting for? Go on, have at it." 

"It's not fun to go alone. Join me, Nik! It's the least you can do after sticking a dagger in my heart."

"Okay. Why not? I didn't have nearly enough to drink last night, what with you trying to murder Rebekah's date."

"Yes, please go, this house has enough men rolling around in it."

"Just like you, Bekah." She throws her shoe at Kol. "Good riddance, both of you!" Elijah enters the room, still holding the burnt sage. "Rebekah."

"Not you too, Elijah."

"I'm worried about mother. Have you not noticed her strange behavior?"

"She's been dead for a thousand years. What's strange for her?"

"Burnt sage. She was doing a privacy spell."

"You know she fancies such things. Why don't you ask Finn? He's been doting on her."

"I don't trust Finn. He hates what we are, he always has."

"That's not true. And as for mother, she returned for one reason, to make our family whole. She loves us. What trouble are you looking to find?"

Klaus and Diana walk into Charles and Thomas's room. "Oh dear god." He says as the stink they already managed to create reaches his nostrils. "What died in here?" 

"Father, tell Tommy that he's being a dick."

"Why is he a dick?"

"He made me sleep on the floor."

"Solve this between yourselves."

"He's just mad that he's couldn't get with Samantha." Thomas adds, confusing both Klaus and Diana. "Samantha? As in Samantha Hill?" 

Samantha Hill was a girl they had raised in the 50's after her mother, a witch and close friend of Diana's died in World war 2, when Samantha was 3. "Why are you in love with an old lady?"

"What do you mean?"

"She's like...70 something."

"No, well, yeah. But also no. She told me she had done a rejuvenating spell to keep her young."

"Either way, old or young. Immortal or rejuvenated, you're not dating Samantha. She's like a sister to you."

"I didn't even meet her until she was 16."
