Work "friendship" (Hosie)

A normal life for once... or is it? (15)

JUNE 27TH
SIXTEEN WEEKS

Hope was currently in the Saltzman-greasly-tien household, it was six AM and the three younger adults all had a shift starting in an hour, them being interns meaning they can't be late.

So Hope woke up early to prepare breakfast, she's been coming over a lot since what happened with Josie fainting. She needed to make sure the brunette was okay at all times.

Flipping pancakes in a pan while scrambling eggs and cutting a salad, she had great multitasking talent. But none of that mattered when she felt the bare skin at her back and hands wrapping around her waist.

"Morning princess." Hope chuckled, "hmmm... thanks for cooking, I'm starving."

Josie slowly unwrapped Hope so she could continue her cooking while the brunette leanded against the counter, hand bellow her growing baby bump.

"That's what friends are for... How'd you sleep?" The mikaelson questioned, she heard Josie wake up at least five times during the night but she asked anyways.

"Terrible. My back is killing me and I can't go twenty minutes without needing to pee, I have no idea how I'm supposed to survive that big surgery that I have in two weeks."

Josie sighed which soon turned into a grunt, "You okay?" Hope raised her brow at the imtern as she rubbed down her stomach. Their little babies' limbs were jerking and moving constantly. Hope, who had been thrilled by this since the moment she felt the first fluttering, would usually stop mid-conversation just to feel them.

Josie curiously looked up the moment she felt the warm hand on her skin, Hope smiled widely at the little movements. It was truly magical.

"Stop giving your mom a hard time please." She whispered with her baby voice, which made Josie crack up laughing. "Shut up." The aubrenette rolled her eyes in denial of the soft gesture.

Josie went over to the cabinet for the reason that the brunette needed to take her vitamins.

Fixing Josie a plate cause they were wasting their time when they need to be at work soon, "Morning world, how's it going!" Jed choose that moment to come downstairs, spreading his arms to the air like a child.

"Good morning to you too, Jed." Josie said before she stole the plate Hope had and filled it up, earning a look from her. "Sorry... just my appetite..." she pouted.

"You don't have to explain yourself silly, I know all about it. Just next time let me know instead of taking it from my hand..." Yep. Hope knows way too much about it, when she said the library, she meant spending every free second she had, reading every book, listening to every podcast or story.

Just to make sure nothing unexpected happened, Hope hates not being ready, hates not being in control of things. So she came prepared.

Soon more foot steps were heard and Mg came into the room, followed by Lizzie wearing his shirt surprisingly. "Morning losers, good morning Josie." She hugged the brunette who sat at the table, attempting to stuff her face with food.

"You know, being nice... doesn't cost money." Hope scoffed at the blonde's acts, preparing her own plate and sitting between Josie and Jed at the table.

They all drink and ate and laughed and had a great time, when the time came they all eventually got into Jed's van and drove off to the hospital.

Fifteen hours into their shift and Josie was beyond exhausted, her feet was getting swollen which is a usual thing but still not the best. She wished Hope was free to give her a massage but the young Mikaelson has been in a surgery for the past seven hours.
