"She's my wife, mother."

"Your wife?" Esther questioned, making Klaus nod, grabbing Seraphina's hand.

"Seraphina's quite lovely, mother," Rebekah added in, making Esther look at her daughter.

"Yes, she keeps Klaus in check for the most part," Elijah said.

"Well, she's lovely Niklaus." Esther turned, walking out of the room, Finn following behind her. Seraphina sighed, closing her eyes as she fell to her knees.

"Are you alright?" Klaus questioned, kneeling down to look over Seraphina.

"It's the dreaded 'meet the parents'," Seraphina laughed, looking up at the Mikaelson siblings. "Think I made a good impression?"

"Rebekah, Seraphina, tell me how handsome I am," Kol called as the tailor worked on his suit. Seraphina scoffed as one of the many people they had compelled to come to work painted her nails.

"Ah, Kol, you know I can't be compelled, and I won't let you compel Seraphina," Rebekah replied, looking at her nails.

"Kol, you look handsome," Seraphina complimented, making Kol smile at her through the mirror.

"You went after Elena?" Klaus questioned as he walked into the room. "What is wrong with you?"

"Here we go," Rebekah sighed.

"Do you want another dagger in your heart?" Klaus questioned.

"Again with the dagger threats?" Kol chirped. "Don't you have any other tricks?"

"Oh, go back to staring at yourself," Klaus sneered.

"And who are you, my father?" Kol countered.

"No, Kol, but you're in my house," Klaus reminded.

"Then perhaps we should go outside," Kol suggested, making Seraphina walk over to the two, stepping in between them.

"Easy boys," She warned, pushing them away from each other, only making Klaus grab her and pull her out from between the two.

"Enough," Esther said as she walked in. "Niklaus, come," She called, making Klaus follow her back out of the room.

"Who knew he could listen." Seraphina sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"Well, would you do me the honor of being my date?" Kol questioned, grabbing her freshly manicured hand, pressing a kiss to her knuckles.

"Kol," Rebekah chastised, making Seraphina laugh as he spun her around. "Quit trying to cause drama."

"She has to politely decline your offer Kol," Klaus said as he came into the room, Kol rolled his eyes, pressing a kiss to Seraphina's temple before letting her hand go.

"You owe me a dance Seraphina!"

"So, what was with the whole Kol thing today?" Klaus questioned Seraphina as they got ready. Seraphina scoffed, finishing the final touches of her makeup.

"Niklaus." Seraphina only called him by his full name a handful of times they had been together, and Klaus hated it. "Kol likes to press your buttons," She began, getting up and walking over to him. "You know that." She stopped in front of him, straightening his bow tie.

"I do, but –" She pressed her finger to his lips, making him stop. Seraphina shook her head, removing her finger and pressing her lips to his.

"No buts, I love you, I wouldn't have married you if I didn't, I would've married Elijah," She joked, walking away from Klaus. "Besides, I love Kol like I love Damon, sometimes I want to snap his neck, others – "
