"Amy asked me if I would do something very interesting," Elijah told Selina.

"Oh?" Selina asked, eyebrow raised. "And just what's that?"

"It's nothing dirty," Elijah sighed. "Get your mind out of the gutter, please."

"My mind wasn't in the gutter!" Selina said. "Should it have been?"

"Well, no," Elijah replied. "Amy was telling me a story about how she and Niklaus ran into his son Robbie at the museum the other day, and how they were thinking about bonding with one another. She asked me if I wanted to take part in that."

"He is your nephew, even though he was conceived when Klaus was cheating on me," Selina replied. "I think you should bond with him. Be a good influence, just like you were with Adrian. I mean, the kid probably had no buffer his whole life, so Klaus' whole personality has probably taken over and made him a complete terror."

"I'm sure it's not that bad," Elijah replied. "He would have had a run-in with Father by now that we'd have heard about if he was."

"Well, some people sneak under your father's radar," Selina pointed out. "Think about that."

"You're the only one," Elijah replied. "And you're welcome."

"So, are you gonna meet him?" Selina asked.

"Yes," Elijah nodded, picturing all the ways he would rescue Robbie from the horror of Klaus' personality. "I think I will."

But to Elijah's surprise, when Robbie arrived with Louisa for their more in-depth meeting, he wasn't at all what he had expected. Sure his hair was a little long for Elijah's liking, but the boy wore a neat gray suit and Louisa seemed very delightful.

"I know you've probably seen a lot of insanity within this family," he said when Louisa and Robbie sat down. "But I can promise you that you won't get any of that here."

"Oh, I'm okay with insanity," Robbie replied. "I've been around it my whole life. It's the calm that's gonna take getting used to."

"I'm sure," Elijah nodded. "So just how much have you seen of your father?"

"Well, we saw him at the museum once, and he was a bit territorial when I said 'Hello' to Amy too, but then we got to talking about art and everything was okay after that."

"Oh, you'll have to excuse my brother," Elijah replied. "He's just naturally very territorial. I think it might be a werewolf thing."

"You know it is!" Selina said as she made her way to the kitchen. "Cause I'm the same way!"

"And Amy and I had a brief thing some time ago, so that could probably be why he's territorial too. But it's over now." Robbie assured his uncle.

"Good," Elijah nodded. "Cause although this family is naturally crazy to be in, it's a lot better if you haven't angered anyone unnecessarily." He paused. "So…what can I do for you?"

"What do you mean?" Robbie asked.

"I mean, what sort of relationship would you like us to have?" Elijah clarified. "You don't seem the type to cling to family too much."

"Well, that's because until recently, I didn't have much family to cling to," Robbie replied. "That's why I was such a mess before. But things are improving. I've made some headway with Klaus and you seem willing to take me under your wing."

"He's actually pretty good at helping people who are willing to reform," Selina said and came to sit next to Elijah. "I was troublesome myself awhile back, but he got me out of it, and then, when I finally had my head on straight several years later, he married me!"

"That sounds nice," Robbie replied. "Is it nice? I'll probably have to take advantage of that, if it's no trouble."

"Yeah," Selina nodded and leaned against Elijah, who put his arm around her and gave Robbie a nod. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

At that moment, Amanda came in with a book in her hand and opened it to the page she was on before asking Selina, "Mommy, what is that word?"

"Let me see," Selina replied and took her daughter on her lap. "But first, don't you want to say 'Hi' to Robbie and Louisa? They're visiting your father and me."

"Hello!" Amanda waved at Robbie especially. "I like your hair!"

"Thank you," Robbie smiled. "I like it too."

"What's your name?" Louisa asked her.

"Amanda," Amanda replied.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Amanda," Louisa told her. "I'm Louisa and this is Robbie."

"It's nice to meet you too," Amanda replied.

"'Scarecrow' is that word," Selina told Amanda. "They're dummies that are made up and used on farms to scare birds away. And you're reading the kids' version of 'Wizard of Oz' that I got you? I didn't expect you to start reading that for another year at least."

"Well I surprised you!" Amanda smiled. She gave her mother a kiss and then ran back to her room.

"She seems like a sweet girl," Louisa remarked. "And very smart."

"Yes," Elijah nodded. "It can make her a bit unpredictable at times, but it's part of her charm. Things are never boring around here."

"I can't wait for the next family reunion," Robbie smiled.

"Oh, yes," Selina nodded. "It's fun to get the whole family in one room together. You get a few drinks in everyone and craziness ensues."

"I bet," Robbie replied.

They talked a little longer, and then Amanda asked if she could go visit Rosalie.

"I'll take her if you want to stay and talk longer with Robbie and Louisa," Selina offered.

"Actually, we have to get going," Louisa said apologetically as she and Robbie got to their feet. "We have to go visit Robbie's grandmother. I promised I would and you don't want to know what happens when he breaks his promises."

"It's not a problem," Selina replied. "We hope we'll see you again soon."

"Me too," Robbie nodded. "I'll be back for sure."

"It's hard to believe that Klaus and Elijah come from the same family," Robbie told Louisa and adjusted his suit jacket. "They're nothing alike!"

"And is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Louisa wanted to know.

"I don't know yet," Robbie shrugged. "Clearly, Elijah was expecting someone different than me. He seemed really shocked when he saw me come through the door dressed all neat like I was. Good call on me wearing the suit."

"Well, a good first impression is important," Louisa pointed out. "He probably was waiting to meet some wicked, foaming-at-the-mouth lunatic and that's not what he got."

"You know, I bet you're right," Robbie nodded. "That's probably it."

"What did you think about Eli's grandma?" Louisa wanted to know. "We didn't see much of each other at the party, but when she ran into the bathroom as your grandma and Mikael were singing because she was laughing so hard…"

"Yeah, she's pretty cool," Robbie replied. "Nothing like Eli at all. But then again, neither is his mother."

"You know, Eli's mom has a hair salon in her house," Louisa pointed out and played with his long blond locks a bit. "How long has it been since you've had a trim?"

"Oh, I don't know," Robbie shrugged. "A year, maybe?"

"A whole year?" Louisa asked, feeling a little shocked because she got hers cut every twelve weeks. "Well, we should get you in for an appointment with Laura then. Granted, she never really liked me all that much, but her client base isn't super big, so we can probably get you in and out quick."

"Well, if it's going to make you uncomfortable to be in your former mother-in-law's house, we can schedule the appointment somewhere else," Robbie assured her and put his arms around her. "I really don't mind."

"No, it's okay," Louisa shook her head. "I'll go make the appointment now."

Louisa took a deep breath and knocked on the front door of Laura and Edward's house two days later. H

"Are you okay?" Robbie asked, adjusting his suit that he'd worn to see Elijah earlier in the day. "I don't have to get my hair cut here."

"No, you should," Louisa replied. "Laura's really good at what she does, even though she never really liked me."

"Well, has she met you since you got a better grip on your self-worth?" Robbie asked. "And since you and Eli got divorced? She could like you now."

"I hope so," Louisa replied. She then backed away from the door as it opened and Laura looked at them, but this time, she was smiling.

"I love that outfit!" She commented. "And thanks for bringing in a new client. He's a handsome one! Not as handsome as Eli, of course, but…never mind. Come in, come in!"

Robbie and Louisa followed Laura down to the basement and then she pushed him into a chair, running her fingers through his hair.

"You have a really nice natural color going on," she said. "I don't want to do a whole lot with this head of yours."

"Do whatever you want," Robbie said. "I've never cared much about my hairstyle myself."

"Well, that makes sense," Laura replied as she ran her fingers through his longish, unkempt blond hair. "But at least you washed it, so good for you."

"You're not gonna make me bald, are you?" Robbie asked. "Please tell me you won't. I like a bit of length."

"Of course I won't make you bald if that's not what you want," Laura replied. "I'll just cut off your split ends, give you a bit of a brush, and then you'll be good."

"That sounds okay," Robbie nodded.

While Laura was washing Robbie's hair, Katherine came downstairs. "Are these the new people?" She asked. "Well, I know they aren't entirely new, but new as clients?"

"Yeah, they are," Laura replied.

Katherine then strode over next to Robbie and asked him, "Do you wear suits to get your hair cut all the time?"

"Well, no," Robbie said, gasping a little as the water got on his neck. "I met my uncle for the first time today, and I thought I should look nice."

"Wow, you must have some uncle," Katherine said and Laura chuckled.

"His uncle is my dad," she explained.

"Oh!" Katherine nodded. "That explains the suit then. Did you have it, or did he insist on buying it for you?"

"I had it," Robbie replied. "I just don't like wearing it often."

"Ah," Katherine nodded and then went to sit at her desk. "Okay."

Laura then dried Robbie's hair, cut it just a little, and when she was done, asked Louisa if there was anything she could do for her, since she still had some time before her next appointment.

"Thanks," Louisa said. "But I'm good for now."

"All right," Laura told her. "Whenever you want me to do something for you, just let me know."

"Okay," Louisa said in surprise, as she wasn't used to Laura being this nice to her. "I will. Thanks!"

Robbie then took a picture of himself to send to his uncle, and the two of them left Laura's and headed home.
