"Who is it?" Josie asks curiously.

"You'll see." Hope replies and when the call connects, Josie gazed into the direction of Hope's phone and she seen a couple faces pop up. It's a Group FaceTime call.

"Hello darling." Is the first words that are spoken from the first face that pops up. A man with brown colored hair, the same colored eyes, and an accent appears with a wide smile.

"Hello gorgeous." Is what she hears next and a woman with blonde long curly locs, a relaxed smile, and green eyes, appears next.

"Hey kid." A darker skinned man with a clean shaven head and a neat looking goatee consisting of a mustache connected to a small beard, appears after and in the same shared screen, a woman who's blonde hair is straight and her eye color is much like Hope's, a fierce blue."Hello love." She has an accent too.

Josie recognizes these last two people as Hope's aunt and uncle that she saw in an instagram photo.

A fond smile finds Hope's lips,"Hey guys." She says softly.

"God you look so beautiful." The curly haired blonde woman says bringing a hand to her to mouth.

"I agree sister." The man with the accent says.

"She looks just like her mother." Rebekah says, she then wipes a tear from her eye,"And like Nik." She then groans,"ugh hormones."

Everyone chuckles including Hope while Josie just watched in awe as the woman interacts with her family.

Hope side glanced the brunette and then she remembered."Oh. Do you guys want to hear the news?" She asks.

"Uh yes, that's why we called. how did you do?"

Hope sighs sadly,"Well..."

All of their faces fall,"Aw honey-" Hope cuts her aunt off,"I won!!!" She says and she showcased the trophy, which is still in Josie's hand.

They all begin cheering on the other side of the phone and Josie couldn't help but smile at the cute moment.

"We are so proud of you Hope let me say that first," The green eyed woman says,"Thank you." Hope replies feeling super happy."Second, and I promise I'm not coming off rude, but who is that?" She asks curiously.

Hope's eyebrows furrow when she sees all eyes staring Josie down.

Anxiety creeps up Josie's spine now that everyone is openly studying her.

Rebekah gasps suddenly,"Oh my gosh she must be Josie!" She says excitedly and she brings the camera closer,"She is way prettier than you said she was Hope."

Josie's eyebrows shoot up not expecting this and she looks at Hope whose face is the same color as an apple."Aunt bex! Shhhh." She says pulling the phone away from Josie to where it's only focused on her,"I told you her beauty goes beyond words." As soon as the words leave her mouth her eyes widen because she forgot Josie was right there for a second.
