Cordelia x Billie x Ally x Lana x Reader The Hardest Day

Update: I edited out Hank because I wrote this at 3 am and was obviously out of it.

Not a lot of Lana in this but I didn't have the heart to remove her 🙃

***

As one of the girls tells me the date my world freezes. I let the world rotate around me as I stood still in my thoughts. One of the girls must have been worried because Cordelia comes up to me, "Baby?"

It breaks my spell and she is holding the piece of paper that was in my hand. From behind her, I can see Zoe redirecting the students out of our way.

"I'm sorry," I whisper and then walk out the doors. Cordelia follows me to my car. She puts a tracking spell on me. Then follows in her own car, once at a graveyard she stops. I had made it to a headstone with three names. Cordelia recognizes one of the names, as another witch you knew. 'Ithica Elise Norwood'

The two other names shocked her, 'Nimue Cordelia Norwood-(Y/L/N)' and 'Caden Quientin Norwood-(Y/L/N)'

She thought it would be best to approach now, "(Y/N). Sweet pea."

I turn around and whisper, "Hi."

Cordelia asks softly, "So..."

"This is my wife, son, and daughter."

"You married Ithica?"

I smile at the memory.

She was dressed in all white and I as well, neither of our families attended. It was just us and a few of our closest friends. We stood under a white arch and Myrtle ordained us.

"Myrtle knew," I whisper.

Cordelia whispered, "What happened?"

I took a breath and looked at the sky, silently praying that if I waited her out she would forget the question. Instead, her phone rang, "Sweetie it is Lana."

I nod, "Go."

Cordelia walks away a little and reassures Lana. I sit on the ground by the headstone and introduce my family to my new family, "Hi loves. It's mommy." I wipe a tear and continue, "I miss you every single day. Cordelia is here with me today. She could never replace you Ithy. She is amazing as you remember her. She is great at taking care of me. I still miss you three very much. Nim, I heard from Ethan he is doing well and says that they still keep your name in the yearbook. He also told me that next year for high school he is sad that he won't be able to walk by your locker that still has photos of you on it." I pause, "Caden I miss you so much especially your special make mommy feel good hugs. I could use one right now."

Looking up I can see Cordelia watching me as Billie approaches from the distance, "I love you three so much. I still buy presents for everyone every year. I did sell the house though, it was too big for me alone. I have a place again at Miss Robichaux's Academy. I am still in a room with four other girls, just this time it is on my own accord. I fell in love with Miss Cordelia Goode, Billie Dean Howard, Lana Winters, and Ally Mayford-Richards."

Billie slides behind me, "Like this?" She asks just off to the side of me, after a little adjusting I sob, "This is how Ithica held me when I would be having a bad day."

"I know. She told me. She also says she loves you so much."

I sob harder and whisper, "Why haven't you moved on yet."

"She isn't ready until she knows you are okay. Something about presents."

I shake my head, "How does someone survive putting two kids into the ground and the love of their life with them."
