Rebekah:because of all the problems we've had... Piper has not been with Maria and Niklaus for almost 10 years...
Elena:10!!??? Oh my God...
Elijah:which is why this is so important to them both... we must give them sometime (looks at Stefan)
Damon:of course... I can't imagine what it must be like to not have your own child with you for that long...

Klaus:Aleksa...What a pleasant surprise (kisses her cheeks)
Maria:Hello Niklaus... (Smiles) I trust that the meeting went well?
Klaus:you'd know (smiles at her) I didn't get the chance to properly thank you and so I'd like you to have this

 (Smiles) I trust that the meeting went well? Klaus:you'd know (smiles at her) I didn't get the chance to properly thank you and so I'd like you to have this

Maria:it's beautiful... but I can't accept this
Klaus:please allow me (he puts it on for her) you've been by my side for 988 years... this is nothing..all that you've done for me.. I failed you so many times but you have never given up on me.. You showed me the way,everything that Elijah's been trying to show me.. you do it so naturally (holds her face) I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me and for everything that you've sacrificed (a tear falls down his face) I've built this empire... I want you to have it
Maria:Niklaus....
Klaus:please... I trust you... you... Elijah and Rebekah..please
Maria:okay okay... I'll help you run your silly little empire (smiles sweetly at him)
Klaus hugs her tightly,lifting her from the ground
Klaus:you never did say why you're here,usually you call me beforehand
Maria:then you'd know I was up to something and that would ruin the surprise...
Klaus:another surprise? What could be better than you helping me run my empire in New Orleans? Or you opening the eyes of others to see what you see in me?
Maria:This..(Maria steps aside and nods at one of Klaus' hybrids)
Klaus turns around to see nothing and he frowns at her
Maria:patience Niklaus (she laughs) come out my love (she holds her hand out and Piper takes it)
Piper:Surprise! (She smiles sweetly at him)
Klaus:Piper!!
He grabs her tightly and hugs her,kissing her forehead and cheeks
Maria tears up as Niklaus holds Piper and cries
Klaus:my sweet sweet Piper... (Kisses her hands)
Piper:(wipes his tears away) no crying daddy...
Klaus:none whatsoever? (Sniffs)
Piper shakes her head and kisses his cheeks
Klaus:I've missed you so much! (Holds her) I'll never let you go again
Piper:promise?
Klaus:I promise
Maria:Joshua and Hope are going to need their big sister now (kisses her cheeks)
Piper:will I be like uncle Elijah?
Klaus laughs and nods
Piper:oh dear,does that mean Joshua is going to be like you daddy?
Maria looks at Niklaus
Klaus:well love,Joshua has a different dad.. His dad is uncle Stefan..
Piper:I know that,I'm 12... I get how that works
Maria and Klaus laugh
Maria:is that so?
Piper:yes but you know what?
Klaus:what?
Piper:I wish you were Joshua's daddy too
Maria looks at Klaus awkwardly
Klaus:I think so too love
Maria:so...(clears throat) Piper are you hungry love? (Stands up) I'm thinking we should get some pizza..
Piper:pizza sounds great mom (Smiles and whispers to Klaus) nice save...
Klaus laughs
Maria:I heard that
Piper and Klaus laugh

Stefan is standing on the balcony and staring over the skylights

Elijah:what's eating you Mr Salvatore?
Stefan:(looks at Elijah then back at the lights) I've been thinking...
Elijah:care to elaborate?
Stefan:if Maria and Klaus have always been so close,why didn't they just get married and start a family? 
Elijah:well you've met Klaus... and you can tell Maria's great
Stefan:of course
Elijah:if you do your math correctly,you'd know they had Piper 12 years ago... but Niklaus had one too many enemies and in all my niece had to be sent away
Stefan:like Hope?
Elijah:precisely,only Hope didn't have to wait 10 years to see Hayley and Niklaus again... (Frowns and looks at the lights)
Stefan:he didn't want to marry her?
Elijah:that's all Niklaus has ever wanted,I'm just trying to be truthful here.. when he heard the news of Maria's pregnancy it killed him.. He felt as though he failed her
Stefan:because he didn't propose soon enough to have a family with her?
Elijah:that and because it was with you.. I mean no offense
Stefan:I see.... Does he still believe he'll end up with her?
Elijah:I'd be lying if I said I didn't think so too (walks inside) you probably feel the same way (walks away)
Stefan sighs and drinks his bourbon

Victoria:want to hear a secret?
Isaiah:no because in case you haven't figured it out yet,I suck at keeping them (continues to eat)
Victoria:seriously....
Isaiah:fine.. Yes I'd lovvvvvee to hear a secret...
Victoria:sarcasm at it's best...
Isaiah rolls his eyes
Victoria:I'll tell you anyway... I ship Maria and Klaus
Isaiah:you what? English dear... I speak English (pouring them more drinks)
Victoria:(rolls her eyes) I think they should be together
Isaiah:I think so too
Victoria:what really?
Isaiah:then again I've always thought that.... I know she has Joshua now but surely something could happen
Victoria:I agree... They're perfect for each other
Isaiah:I couldn't agree more,there's no one better for my sister than Niklaus himself
Elena:(walking in) you really believe that?
Isaiah:Elena how nice of you to join us,a drink love?
Elena:I could use 3 after what I just heard
Victoria:we were having a private conversation...
Isaiah:and it will stay that way (eying Elena)
Elena:secrets safe with me...
Victoria:so now that we're on this topic,what do you think?
Isaiah:drop it yeah,I've had enough.. I don't want to talk about who my sister should and should not be with
Victoria:(looks at Elena) you think Niklaus too don't you?
Isaiah:really! That's enough now (hands Elena a drink and continues eating)
Elena nods at Victoria
Isaiah:that's it (he gets up and takes his food and leaves the kitchen) I'm off to watch soccer
Elena and Victoria laugh

Klaus:what was it like?
Piper:It was beautiful,but I knew my home was with you and mom
Klaus smiles and continues to eat
Piper:how have you been?
Klaus:truthfully,I've been very bad love
Piper:that's not good (eats her pizza)
Klaus:but I'm grateful for your mom,she helped me
Piper:I believe you were always good daddy
Klaus:really?
Piper:of course,you just needed help
Klaus smiles and sips his drink
Piper:I use to read all the letters you and mom sent me,mommy always told me how hard you were trying to be better and that Michael was so bad that he hurt you and made you feel unwanted
Klaus:yes (swallows and looks at the fire place) that's true
Piper:that's not very nice
Klaus:it's not at all...
Piper:I have a question yeah
Klaus:ask away love...
Piper:can I live with you and mommy?
Klaus:of course,you're with us now.. I'm never sending you anywhere again.. not even for school
Piper:(laughs) I mean together.. in New Orleans
Klaus:what about Mystic Falls,your mom lives here you know that love...
Piper:no way (shakes her head) New Orleans is our home
Klaus:what about your mom dear?
Piper:I want her to live with us too.. and Joshua
Klaus:(sigh) we'll talk about this later okay?
She nods and continues to eat
He kisses her head and gets up to get her more juice
