"How are you holding up Josie?" Freya asks as she grabs a bowl and some herbs.

Josie groans and Hope frowns putting a hand on her stomach,"You're okay baby." She says soothingly.

Josie sighs and puts a hand on Hope's, she turns to look at the older woman,"I feel like the baby is draining me but the pain goes away when Hope touches me."

"I got the magic touch aunt freya." Hope replies, smile on her face and she places a kiss on her lady's stomach.

Freya nods and brings the bowl over to Hope."That's okay we are about to figure out why. Would you be so kind?" She asks looking at the tribrid.

Hope bit her hand and lets the blood from it leak into the bowl until the wound healed.

Freya pulled it away and set it down before putting her hands above it whispering some small incantations.

Hope turns to Josie who's shaking nervously."Baby relax. I'm sure everything is fine." She says trying to comfort her.

"I know. I'm just scared Hope." She says.

Hope nods as she rubs the woman's tummy, "Me too. Our baby is a tough one though. You wanna know how I know?" She asks.

Josie cracks a smile,"How do you know?"

"Because our baby's mommy is the toughest person I know." She replies and kissed the brunettes forehead.

Josie beams at Hope and squeezes her hand,"Don't forget about the other mommy." She says kissing Hope's knuckles."You are the strongest person I know, so that makes our baby the toughest and strongest person alive."

"You are right again Mrs.Mikaelson." Hope says and leans over to peck her wife's lips.

Freya walks back over to them. "Alright so this is what I found out." She says putting the bowl down.

Josie squeezes Hope's hand and Hope caresses Josie's hand with her thumb, they're both anxious about what they might hear.

"Obviously the baby is a siphon. We already knew that but using Hope's blood helped with finding out that it is not just a siphon. It radiates the same amount of power that Hope did if not more when she was in Hayley's womb. I tried to figure out why there is a difference here. I am assuming it's because the baby is half tribrid and siphon witch. The baby may need a lot of magic to siphon from, so he or she doesn't siphon a lot of magic from itself. Which is why it's siphoning from Josie so much." She says looking at the couple.

Josie processes the information carefully so she sits quietly. Hope on the other hand got it down."So why does it stop when I touch Josie's stomach?"she asks.

"The baby senses your magic and Elena told me the ears have developed so the baby knows your it's mother. He or she has a bond with you and that makes sense because you told me you talk to the baby every night and every morning." Freya explains.

"So what does she see me as?" Josie asks looking at her belly,"The magic source keeping her alive?" She says feeling a little sad.

Hope turns to Josie and caresses her cheek."You know that is not what the baby is thinking. She knows your her mother too, you sing to her everyday, she is in love with your voice. I just think she's really hungry and she doesn't know she's hurting you."

Hope turns around to look at her aunt."Isn't that right aunt freya?"she gives the blonde a look hoping her theory is correct but even if it's not she hopes her aunt lies for her wife's sake.

The blonde nods,"That's right. The baby doesn't know what it's doing. Just like you and Lizzie didn't know what you were doing to your mother." She says looking at the brunette.
