four days before the wedding
"The flowers weren't to be delivered yet, the wedding isn't for four more days" Klaus said looking at the two delivery men standing in his foyer with the flowers.
"What's going on?" Freya asked coming down the stairs as she noticed the flowers.
"These...nice gentlemen delivered the flowers earlier than expected" he said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.
"Why are the flowers here?" Rebekah asked looking at everyone.
"That is what I would like to know" Klaus said looking expectantly at the two men.
"Look we just deliver when we're told to, all you can do is call the flower shop and talk to the person you ordered them from. I am sorry they are early, but we can't take them back" the one said nervously, the other one just nodded his head in agreement.
"It's alright, we'll call and figure something out to preserve them as long as possible" Freya said with a smile, then looking over at her brother and sister in the hopes of making sure they were calm.
As the two men finished unloading the flowers, Nik walked down the hall making his displeasure known to the flower shop owner while Freya and Rebekah got busy moving the flowers to another room so she could cast a spell to preserve the flowers.
"That flower shop owner is incompetent, she wrote down the wrong date" he said.
"Well we got the flowers moved and I cast a spell on them so they will be good to go for the wedding" Freya said.
"Good thing we have a witch in the family isn't it" he said with a smile.
"You are welcome" Freya said.
"Now that is done, let's hope the caterer doesn't show early either...in fact I'm going to call to make sure" Rebekah said heading off towards the living room.
"See what they have done sister? The next four days Rebekah will be intolerable to live with, making sure everything is perfect" Klaus said.
"I doubt she'll be that bad..." Freya said trailing off as Rebekah dashed upstairs.
"I bet she is checking to make sure Elena's dress is safe and sound" he said with amusement.
"I don't think she would go that far" Freya tried to reason knowing Nik was probably right.
"The caterer is on schedule and Elena's dress is still where I put" Rebekah said looking at Nik and Freya has they both started to chuckle.
"You were right" Freya said as she tried to keep a straight face.
"What was Nik right about?" Rebekah asked wanting to know.
"I told our sister that you would go check on the dress, to make sure it was still there" he said with a smirk.
"I just want everything to be perfect, nothing wrong with that" Rebekah said smugly.
"No there isn't, but sometimes things don't go according to plan" he said.
"You really aren't helping brother..." Freya said shaking her head.
"I'm off to find Elijah as I'm sure you both have everything under control" he said leaving his sisters staring after him in disbelief.
"Now that he is no longer here to mock me, I'm going to check on the bridesmaid dresses" Rebekah said as she took her cell phone out of her pocket to call the boutique.
"I'll call the men's shop to make sure the tuxs are good to go, now breathe and relax" Freya said, knowing Rebekah was wound up wanting their brother's day to be perfect.
"Oh can you check in with Caroline about the decorations and the guest list" Rebekah called over her shoulder as she walked off.
"Did you two eat all the cookies we baked yesterday?" Elena asked looking between Kol and Jeremy who both had guilty looks on their faces.
"Come on love, they're my...our favorite" Kol said making sure to include Jeremy in case she was mad. He wasn't going down alone if she was.
"We were hungry" Jeremy said taking the last bite of his cookie.
"What am I going to do with you two?" she asked looking at them.
"Bake more cookies?" Jeremy asked hopefully with a big grin on his face.
"Nice try. What are your plans today?" she asked as she set about to making breakfast.
"I'm going to go hang out with Matt later after he gets off work" he said as he got plates out and set the table.
"Great. Thanks for setting the table" she said.
After the three of them finished breakfast, Jeremy went upstairs to shower while Elena and Kol cleaned up the kitchen. She noticed Kol was quiet which was so unlike him, even through breakfast he didn't say much either.
"What's on your mind?" she asked as she sat down with a cup of coffee looking expectantly at him.
"I know we've talked about this before, but I don't want you to have any regrets. Once we're married, you're mine forever...just as I'm yours" he said looking her in the eyes, giving her a chance to back out but hoping she wouldn't.
"Is this about that dream you had the other night...us having children?" she asked.
"You know it's not impossible, Freya said there is one day of the year a male vampire can sire a child with a mortal and it's not like we've been careful since being together" he said with a smirk making Elena blush.
"If it happens then we would be blessed to have part of you and a part of me running around calling us mommy and daddy and if it doesn't happen then it wasn't meant to be. You are my always and forever no matter what gets thrown at us" she said taking his hand hoping what she said eased his mind.
"Elena-" Kol started to say before Jeremy can downstairs interrupting what he was going to say.
"I'm going to hang out with some old friends before meeting Matt at the Grill, be back later" he said heading out the door.
"I'm going to go get a shower now" Kol said.
"Wait...what were you going to say before Jeremy walked in?" she asked curiously.
"I was going to say how much I love you" he said giving her a quick kiss.
"I love you too. Now go get your shower so I can take mine" she said shoving him towards the staircase.
"You could always join me" he whispered in her ear as he pulled her up the stairs with him.
