Monster's Daughter (Legacies Fanfic)

Little Hayley

Five months later

Josie POV

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope holds her baby in her arms memorized by the life she created

I'm so happy for her but all I can think about was what esther said

"Hey are you ok,love" Rebekah rubs my shoulder

"Just worried" I sway back and forth

Worried doesn't even begin to cover it I've been having nightmares

"I know me too" She sighs "but the best thing we can do is try to be protective and proactive"

"Meaning" I ask

"It means little hayley might never be allowed to leave the manor... or Hope would have to keep her distance from hayley"

"We can't ask her to do that" I breathe quickly tears appearing in my eyes

"I don't think we have a choice..and hope knows it too" Rebekah sighs

This situation sucks and there is nothing I can do except stay by her side and support and carry her

"She's just so happy" I choke up trying not to cry for the millionth time since I've been here "Hope should be able to stay with her baby" I burst out sobbing

Rebekah holds me tight trying to calm me down

"I know its not fair, and I know how much it hurts you to see hope upset" She tries to comfort

"She been through enough already" I sob,choke and wheeze

I cry for a couple more minutes trying not to cry loud enough for everyone in the house to hear

  "I'm sorry" I say wiping my eyes and clearing my throat

"Don't apologize, you have nothing to apologize for " She looks me in the eyes

"Hope is going through this not me" I wipe my eyes

"Doesn't mean it wasn't hard for you, don't ever apologize for your grief,"

I wipe my eyes "Thank you"

"No need for thanks, I needed this too" She wipes her eyes

"I'm going to go be with Hope" I hug her and then walk to Hope's room

"She's a good kid" Marcel says once I'm out of the room

"She is" Rebekah says somewhat lost in thought
