Little Mikaelson

Chapter Twenty-One

No One POV
Two weeks have passed since Lizzie's baby shower and unfortunately things have not changed for the better....

"What time are y'all coming back?" Sage asked her mom as the older Mikaelson finished her makeup, the little one was a little anxious about the sudden meeting all three of her mothers had to go to.

"Don't worry we'll be back in time to bring you to rehearsal, it's our day on carpool remember?" Hope assured while turning to her eldest daughter with a warm smile, the seven-year-old smiled back with a nod. The little one has always known she can count on her mom.

"Yeah, only Liam and Remi are riding with us today since it's a principals only rehearsal." the young Mikaelson elaborated on the details with her smile gaining a sense of pride, Hope chuckled before bringing her daughter into her lap.

"I already know princess, also I'm making creole shrimp pasta tonight for your sleepover with Rue and Remi." the dark auburnette revealed with a teasing smile, Sage's eyes lit up at the mere sentence.

"My favorite?!" the little Mikaelson nearly yelled with a huge smile, Hope nodded feeling as though her daughter deserved it.

"Obviously, now be good for grandma and I'll call when we're headed back so be ready." the older woman instructed, Caroline decided to stay in New Orleans until Lizzie gives birth to her twins and to help Hope out a little which is much appreciated from all parties.

"Okay, love you!" Sage farewelled before giving her mom a hug and kiss on the cheek, Hope chuckled feeling a sense of pride for bringing the little one so much joy.

"Love you too princess, give the twins kisses for me when they wake up!" Hope instructed her daughter who jumped out of her lap to go call her best friends and tell them the news.

"Okay!" the little one yelled as she ran out the room, leaving Hope to think about the events to come. The dark auburnette was worried about how this group therapy session would turn out.

-
Here all three mates sat on a couch facing the group session's therapist, Jade. She was the only option seeing as Penelope refused to air their problems out to anyone else. Josie sat on the left of the couch, while Penelope sat on the other end intentionally creating the most distance between her and the brunette, leaving Hope in the middle as a buffer. Josie knew this session would be the end, she just didn't know what of....

"Today I figured we could do an open discussion and see where that leads, so where would you all like to start?" Jade asked the throuple in front of her, no one dared to say a word letting the tense silence consume the room.

"With the obvious, them not trusting me-"

"You don't deserve it, fucking hypocrite..." Josie interrupted her green eyed soulmate, mumbling the last part of her sentence.

"What was that?!" Penelope challenged with gritted teeth trying to control her temper that has been off the rails lately, Hope sat in her spot trying to figure out what caused her two fiancés to be at each other's throats.

"You heard me, I didn't even want to come to this." Josie growled knowing everyone in this room can hear her perfectly fine, no matter the volume. The brunette honestly didn't give a damn about Penelope's 'worries'.

"You are so-"

"Okayy, let's start with Josie...is there a reason you didn't want to attend this session?" Jade asked trying to move to a more open dialogue, Josie looked at the vampire before looking away and sighing.

"Because every time I look at you, I think of the mistake that could've costed us our family. I think of the dark place I was in; I think of the short temper and dark magic that damn near consumed me! I'm not saying I hate you Jade because I don't, but I am saying sometimes it's hard to have you around and involved so much." Josie expressed feeling a tiny weight lifted off her shoulders, the blonde in front of her nodded with an understanding smile.
