Little Mikaelson

Chapter Eleven

Penelope POV
Last night was hard, Sage kept crying about her head so Hope and I barely slept. Hope just left to go drop Sage off with Lizzie so she and I can try to figure out this Dark Josie problem.

"I take it Lizzie was okay with watching Sage until the party later." I assumed since Hope walked in alone, she nodded her head.

"Yeah she said it would be great bonding time since she's been so busy planning her party lately." she explained and looked at me tiredly.

"Good." I sighed in relief then pulled her into a hug, she hugged me back relaxing a little.

"What are we going to do Pen?" she asked into my neck, I sighed and thought. I honestly have no clue.

"We could-" I was suggesting something but was interrupted.

"You could trust me and stay out of the way." Dark Josie suggested rudely, Hope and I broke apart to look at her seriously.

"Surprise." Dark Josie said with a smirk as she eyed Hope and I suggestively. Is it bad I think she looks hot right now?

"When can we have the real Josie back?" Hope asked almost pleading, Dark Josie walked closer to her still having a smirk on her face.

"I am the real Josie." she answered which only frustrated Hope more causing her to snap. Oh shit.

"No you aren't! The real Josie is strong and compassionate, she's always there for the ones she loves and carries everyone else's burdens along with her own. She's one of the women I fell in love with at 12 and I'm damn sure not giving up on her, our daughter needs you-" my auburnette girlfriend lectured and pleaded.

"We need you Jojo, the real you." I said stopping Hope's outburst before she exhausted herself, I looked over to Dark Josie noticing the affect Hope's words had on her but she covered it quickly.

"Nothing you say will bring the other Josie back before I figure out this threat against my legacy." the dark witch deadpanned with an unimpressed expression but that pissed me off.

"Our legacy. Sage is our daughter, we can work together to protect her but only if it's the real you." I corrected the dark being while walking towards her, she rolled her eyes at me. The nerve of Emo Jojo.

"Spare me the theatrics, you know exactly what I meant-" Dark Josie started arguing but Hope said something.

"I'm pregnant." Hope announced and at that moment everything with Dark Josie didn't matter anymore, the only thing I cared about was details of Hope's pregnancy. This is amazing, we're having another baby!

"Really?! That's-" I began celebrating but was cut off.

"That's not my problem right now, my only concern is Sage's well-being." Dark Josie informed but I know she cares, she has to.

"Josie-" Hope tried talking but Dark Josie became hostile.

"No, I didn't care before and I don't care now." Dark Josie insisted but that didn't make any sense.

"What do you mean you didn't care before?" I asked confused, she looked me dead in the eyes. What the hell is she talking about?

"Exactly what I said, I figured out about Hope's pregnancy the night before we first slept with Jade." she elaborated and my heart dropped, I looked at Hope and she looked devastated.

"Please tell me you're lying, please tell me you're just trying to push us away and that everything you're saying is bullshit." I begged trying to make sense of her confession, I can't fathom her telling truth right now. This can't be true, she wouldn't hide something like that from me.
