Hope POV
The drive to Mystic Falls was surprisingly fun to say Sage is only three years old, she's truly the coolest toddler I know. We played road games, sang along to songs, she told jokes then she slept the rest of the ride. I was pulling into the school and texted Lizzie to let her know we're outside. Once I parked I woke Sage up.

"Princess, it's time to wake up." I whispered peppering kisses all over her face, she giggled and made grabby hands after stretching.

"Are we gonna see Auntie Liz now." she asked softly as I held her.

"Yup she's probably waiting for us on the other side of those doors." I said patting her back, she sighed nuzzling her head into my neck. I walked through the doors and of course there was Lizzie waiting for us with a big smile.

"Ahhh." she screamed running up to us bringing us into a group hug.

"Hey Liz." I laughed as Sage just groaned at the sudden impact.

"Auntie Liz, I can't breatheee." she mumbled into my neck causing Lizzie and I to laugh before breaking apart.

"Sorry munchkin, I just missed this adorable face so much!" Lizzie cooed as she squeezed Sage's face causing giggles to echo through the main hall.

"I missed you too!" she said before Lizzie took her from my arms and held her.

"Okay so my parents are waiting for you in their office. They can't wait to see you!" Lizzie exclaimed, that's when everything started to become reality. What if they reject me because I have Sage now, what if they hate Sage?

"Hey, no need to panic. You know my parents love you and I'm sure they'll love her too." Lizzie said softly once she noticed my mood change, I nodded my head and we walked to the office. I knocked and we walked in once we heard "come in".

"Hi." I said nervously as I walked in, Caroline was the first to pull me into a hug, next was Alaric.

"Hope, we missed you so much!" Caroline said with Alaric nodding in agreement, next Lizzie walked in with Sage. Caroline looked at the little one with a curious smile.

"I missed you guys too. Also...." I started then took Sage from Lizzie. "This is my daughter Sage." I announced, my little one nuzzled into me being shy and I rubbed her back. Caroline and Alaric looked at each other then me, by the look on Caroline's face I could tell what she was gonna ask.

"How old is she?" she asked walking closer, trying to get a look at Sage's face again.

"She's three." I said softly holding her a bit tighter, that's when Caroline let out a breath. Alaric looked at us in disbelief.

"Is she..." Caroline implied not wanting to finish but I knew what she wanted to say, I nodded my head with tears forming in my eyes.

"Oh my god. How- who is she for?" Caroline rambled trying to find the words, I looked back at Lizzie to explain.

"She's for both of them, she's also one of the reasons I go to New Orleans so often. Neither of them know about her because Hope left, she was going to tell them the day she found out but it was the same day everything happened. This is your granddaughter Sage Athena Mikealson." Lizzie explained as more tears ran down my face, Caroline and Alaric were also crying.

"I'm a grandma!" Caroline said happily, I let out a watery chuckle and nodded my head. Alaric and Caroline pulled us into a hug and I felt Sage lift her head.

"Mommy." she announced causing the hug to break, I looked her and could tell she was tired and probably hungry.

"Are you hungry princess?" I asked to which she nodded her head. I looked away to see Caroline and Alaric admiring the little one.
