Little Mikaelson

Chapter Fifteen

Penelope POV
"Well it's not like you ever touch me..." Hope muttered facing away from me, we've been arguing for the past hour because I come home to see hickies on her neck that I know I didn't put there. Damn it Josie.

"What was that?" I asked raising my voice challenging her, she turned and looked me right in the eyes.

"You heard me, you haven't touched me in almost three years!" she yelled back and I scoffed at her proclamation.

"That's what Maya was for." I waved off moving around her to change into something comfortable. She's being dramatic.

"Do you even hear yourself right now?! I never wanted Maya, I want my mates, the loves of my life, the mothers of my children, I want you!" she yelled as I put on some sweatpants and took off my shirt.

"Calm dowm Andrea..." I warned her knowing how her magic gets when she's worked up.

"No! I'm so sick of keeping my mouth shut, you act like you don't want me anymore, like the mere thought of touching me disgusts you. Is that how you feel, are you disgusted by me?" her voice cracked at the end causing me to look at her, her eyes were watering.

"Andrea?" I asked in disbelief of her question. Does she really think I don't want her?

"Do you even love me anymore?" she whispered looking away from me and I walked up to pull her into a hug that she immediately reciprocated.

"Of course I love you, god I love you so much." I assured her as she clung to me, my heart clenched knowing I'm the reason she's upset.

"Then why are you never home anymore? Why don't want to spend time with me, did I do something?" she asked against my chest as I held her, I sighed realizing how much of a mess I've created.

"No you did nothing wrong, this was all me... I just- I just want to prove myself, I want to prove that I'm here to stay and here to financially support all of you. I don't want it to seem like I'm leaching off of you." I admitted as I felt her tears on my sports bra. What have I been thinking?

"I don't care how much money you make at that damn firm. I care about our relationship and our family, so please stay home more." she pleaded looking at me with her glossy blue eyes, I nodded my head laying down with her in my arms.

"I will, I promise baby." I whispered softly as I rubbed her back, she sighed appreciatively and nuzzled into my chest.

"I missed that name..." she mumbled and I looked down at her, she looks so cute right now. Her and Josie are my big babies.

"What else do you miss?" I asked brushing some hair out of her face, she made her cute thinking face and sat up straddling my waist.

"You being at family meals, movie nights, play dates, basically you being here." she explained and I nodded agreeing with her completely.

"I miss that too, I'll start working from home and working less in general. The kids are getting so big, I don't want to miss anything." I realized and she nodded sadly playing with the strings of my sweatpants.

"They are getting big, the twins are going to start preschool next fall and Sage is going to fourth grade. All of my babies are growing up." Hope pointed out with a small pout gracing her face, her words gave me an idea though...

"Maybe we could have another..." I suggested and Hope seemed like she was thinking about it really hard then shook her head.

"Not without her." my girlfriend countered and I knew exactly who she was talking about. Jojo....
