Elena was standing on the balcony watching the renovations be done. Elijah taking care of them all. Klaus walked out his room followed by Geneiveve."Enough with all the racket!" Klaus scolded.

"Is there a problem, brother?" Elijah asked.

"Gentlemen, please. I agreed to a general sprucing up, not a bloody 3-ring circus." Klaus said. He went down the stairs and stood in front of Elijah.

"Marcel and his minions abused our home for the better part of a century. Now, you might be content to live in squalor. I'm not."  Elijah said,

"I agree with your brother. It's a new era in the french quarter. This place could use a makeover." Genevive said.

"No one cares that you agree" Elena said.

"Oh the doppelganger" Genevieve sighed.

"Go to hell" Elena said. Give her best friendly voice.

Klaus put his hand on Elijah's shoulder."Careful, Elijah. When this one agrees with you, it's a sure sign she wants something."  He moved his hand and continued to walk.

"Actually" Geneieve said and turned towards Elijah. Klaus stopped and turned around."I do have a request. I'm told our coven hasn't been able to celebrate feast days in the open since Marcel restricted the use of magic. Now with the new peace, I'd like that to change."

"Of course you do" Elena spat.

"Play nice" Klaus said.

"I am going to be 9 monhts pregnant in a week and you want me to play nice go to hell" Elena said.

"Am I to assume that you have a certain feast day in mind?" Elijah asked

"The fete des benedictions. Feast of the blessings. In the past, members of the community offered witches gifts in exchange for blessings. We'd like to use it as a forum for introducing our young harvest girls to society." Geneive replied.

"So your coven attempted to destroy my family and you yourself held my siblings in unspeakable torment.vAnd you would likeva party for the witches." Elijah said.

Geneive turned to Klaus."I made my amends with your brother." Klaus chuckled and she turned back towards Elijah."Why don't you think it over?" She left out the compound leaving them alone.

Klaus walked over to his brother and said."Oh, don't be such a stiff, Elijah. The tourists love a good festival. Besides, what better way to cement the solidarity than a show of faith toward a onetime enemy?"

"A onetime enemy with whom you've grown rather nauseatingly intimate." Elijah said.

"Who said maintaining alliances can't be fun?" Klaus said.

"One would think you'd be a little more interested in attending to the needs of the mother of your child." Elijah asked.

"So she's the reason behind this oh-so-thoughtful renovation. Elijah, the truth is the mother of my child is werewolf royalty. She's far safer in the bayou with her pack than she would ever be here with us. Don't worry. I'll bring her home before the birth. No child of mine will be born in a swamp." Klaus said. He walked out leaving Elijah alone.

"He got you there Lijah" Elena said."Your in love with Haley we all can see it." Elijah turned towards his little sister/

"What about you dear. Are you scared to read the journals because your scared of what he's gonna say about you or because your scared your going to realise he actually may have cared about you before you became pregnant" Elijah said.

"GO TO HELL ELIJAH" Elena turned and walked back to her room.
