Freya and Keelin are standing across the room from Dahlia and Esther. Freya is staring intently at the two of them as they prepare the ingredients for the spell.

Keelin looks at Freya and almost laughs at the look on Freya's face. It reminded her of the first night they had met. The witch definitely had a temper. She could only imagine how she was going to be when their twins started dating.

"You okay?" Keelin asks quietly.

"Yeah, are you?" Freya asks worried.

"I'm not the one with the demonic look on my face."

"I don't look demonic," Freya says.

"Do too."

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!" Freya finally takes her eyes off of Dahlia and Esther to look pointedly at Keelin.

"Freya, if looks could kill Dahlia and Esther would be dead right now."

"I wish they were," Freya sighs as she looks back at Dahlia and Esther.

"Hey," Keelin says as she tries to grab Freya's attention. "Don't worry about them right now okay. Just look at me."

Freya sighs as she looks into Keelin's eyes.

"Everything is going to be okay," Keelin says as she grabs hold of Freya's hands. "Dahlia and Esther are going to perform the spell to make the twins come faster, you guys are going to defeat the Hollow once and for all, your siblings are going to be reunited, and you and I… you and I are going to have two amazing babies together."

Freya starts to smile slowly. She was angry right now—livid. But, she couldn't help but smile at the thought of their twins.

"That's still going to take some getting used to," Freya says as she moves closer to Keelin. "I can't believe all of this is happening."

"Well, believe it, because it is," Keelin smiles. "You and I are going to be parents."

Freya smiles her infamous big smile and can't help but kiss Keelin. She didn't care who was in the room.

"That's literally the only good thing about all of this," Freya says as they pull away from each other.

"You're going to be an amazing mom," Keelin replies.

"I'm pretty sure you're going to be the favorite mom," Freya responds as she brings her lips to Keelin's.

The sound of a throat clearing brings Freya and Keelin out of their trance. They had completely forgotten that Dahlia and Esther were still in the room with them.

"Far be it from me to interrupt true love," Dahlia says. "But we're ready to begin."

"Right," Keelin says as she and Freya both blush.

"Now, the spell is simple," Esther explains. "I will channel Dahlia and Freya while I say the incantation and place my hands over your stomach."

"And you're certain this won't bring any harm to them?" Freya asks.

"Yes, Freya. I assure you this will in no way bring any harm to the babies…"

"Or Keelin?" Freya interrupts Esther.

"Or Keelin," Esther answers. "The spell will only cause the twins to grow faster while in the womb. Once they are born they will be just like any other babies."

"Babies with tremendous power," Dahlia adds.

"I give you my word Freya," Esther continues. "The babies and Keelin will not be harmed during this spell."

"I wish your word meant more to me," Freya answers coldly.

"Let us begin," Dahlia says.

THE COMPOUND

Rebekah comes into the courtyard.

"Are you sure it's okay for us to be in the same room?" Rebekah asks as soon as she sees Klaus.

Klaus smiles upon seeing Rebekah for the first time in a year. "Yes, according to the old hags we should be fine as long as it's just the two of us."

"Well then, in that case," Rebekah responds as she hugs Klaus. "I never thought I'd be so happy to see you."

"I missed you too, sister," Klaus smiles.

The two siblings finally pull apart and smile at each other.

"Have you spoken with Kol?" Klaus asks.

"Yes, he's on his way to Paris. Marcel is meeting him there. He should be able to undo his compulsion on Elijah. Once done, they'll all be on their way to New Orleans."

"Good," Klaus responds. "We'll need numbers if we intend to get through this."

"Do you trust mother?"

"What's that saying? Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice," Klaus smiles devilishly. "I don't trust our mother or aunt with anything. I don't believe they're telling the complete truth."

"So you think they're hiding something?"

"Yes, the question is what."

"Well, then should be really be trusting them to perform a spell on our unborn nieces or nephews?"

"I don't believe they'll harm the twins. I think they need them for something."

"What could they possibly need the twins for?" Rebekah wonders aloud.

Klaus thinks for a moment. Esther and Dahlia went to great lengths to come back from the dead. They had to have some ulterior motive for creating two babies between Freya and Keelin. But, what.

"Freya is the only Mikaelson witch capable of procreating," Klaus starts.

"That's not true! Hope can procreate."

"Don't you ever say that again!" Klaus states seriously.

"Sorry, sorry."

"Hope is a child. She's far off from being capable of procreating. So, that left them with Freya being the only Mikaelson witch that could provide an offspring."

"But, Freya is dating Keelin, so they had to perform the spell to create the twins."

"They want to continue their bloodline of witches, but what for," Klaus finishes.

"I don't know," Rebekah says. "But, until we find out I don't think we should allow them anywhere near Keelin or the twins."

"We won't," Klaus says. "Keelin and those babies will be protected."

ABANDONED HOUSE

"That's it?" Keelin questions as Esther takes her hands from Keelin's stomach.

"Yes, as I said it was a very simple spell," Esther answers.

"Are you sure it worked?" Freya asks with her eyebrow quirked.

"Do you doubt my abilities?" Esther asks.

"Well, frankly…"

"Freya," Keelin sighs. She just wanted to go home. She didn't want to argue with Dahlia and Esther anymore today. She didn't have it in her.

"Fine, I'm sure it worked fine."

"Well, Keelin has quite the influence on young Freya," Dahlia jokes.

Freya glares at Dahlia.

"How do we find this box?" Freya asks, changing the subject.

"You don't," Dahlia responds. "We do. We know the location. We'll find the box and bring it forth when all of your siblings have returned and are ready to complete the ritual. Then and only then will we reveal the box."

"More insurance for yourselves? Do you really think we'd harm you? You're linked to the twins. Like it or not we have to work together. It'd be nice if you were forthcoming with all of the information you have."

"And we will be," Esther interrupts. "But until Kol and Elijah return, the box is useless."

"I'd like to add something to our deal," Freya suggests.

"And what might that be?" Dahlia asks.

"I want you to unlink yourselves from the lives of the twins."

"That's a certain suicide," Dahlia states.

"Your deaths could be caused by a number of things. We don't intend to go back on our word, but should you two succumb to deaths by some other force, you would be killing our unborn children along with you."

"Your concern is reassuring," Dahlia jokes.

"All I'm saying is that I think it's a little rash to endanger the lives of two innocent babies. After all, they're a part of your family—your blood. Why would you want to risk their demise?"

Esther thinks it over for a moment. She knew they needed to keep up pretenses if they were to succeed in their overall plan. They needed to compromise.

"Alright, Freya," Esther starts. "We will unlink ourselves from the babies."

"Excuse me?" Dahlia demands. "Have you lost your mind?"

"But, only if we are allowed to link our lives to someone else."

"Who would agree to that?" Keelin asks dumbfounded.

"Me," Freya answers quickly.

"Wait, what now?" Keelin asks.

"You two can link your lives to me," Freya insists.

"Freya, hold on! You are not doing this!"

"Keelin, it's fine."

"No! It's not fine! I am not raising two babies on my own! Freya, I need you alive!"

"And I will be," Freya assures Keelin. "Nothing is going to happen to me."

"You don't know that!"

"Keelin, I can't let them stay linked to the babies. If this is the only way to protect them, then I have to do this."

"Freya, if something happens to them it will happen to you too! I'm not willing to risk your life!"

"Even if it would protect our children?"

Keelin sighs. "Why do I feel like you're making me choose between our children and you?"

"Because she is," Dahlia interrupts.

"No, I'm not. You don't have to choose between our children and me. I'm choosing our children over me."

"Freya," Keelin sighs.

"Keelin, I can't stand by while they're at risk. I won't! Please, don't ask me to."

Keelin looks into Freya's deep green eyes and sighs. She knew she wasn't going to convince her to change her mind. She'd probably do the same thing if it were the other way around. Her girlfriend was doing what a mother does. She was putting her children's lives above her own. She knew Freya would make a great mom. Their babies weren't even born yet and she was already going to great lengths to protect them.

"Just, promise me you'll do whatever it takes to make sure you make it out of this alive," Keelin gives in.

"I promise," Freya smiles.

"Okay, then," Esther interrupts. "It's agreed. We will unlink from the babies and then link ourselves to Freya."

"I hope this is a wise choice," Dahlia comments.

"It is. We mean the children no harm. Hopefully, now Freya will believe that?" Esther asks Freya.

"It's a start," Freya sighs.
