"You seem to be in a good mood." Lizzie noticed, watching Josie sit down next to her with a smile on her lips.

"I have no response to that. Oh and you are quite clingy when you sleep." She tells Hope who huffs.

"My love language is physical touch, let me be." Hope popped a piece of french toast in her mouth.

"Did you wolf out?" Lizzie rose an eyebrow.

"I don't remember, my wolf has been acting weird since it found that Josie is pregnant." Hope admits.

"Oh?" Lizzie smirks while Josie was the one now raising an eyebrow.

"Don't make it weird." Hope sighs.

"Oh I'mma make it weird. And it? She's you so she's a she." Lizzie corrected.

"Right okay, SHE is being avoidant and having alcohol in my system did not help me to remember either." Hope explains and Lizzie smirk returns.

"Is she jealous?" The blonde suggests.

"Of?" Hope questions.

"Of someone else getting Josie's pregnant." Lizzie stated.

"Yeah definitely, because Josie definitely had a choice in the matter." Hope sarcastically remarked.

"I don't need your sarcasm." Lizzie scoffs.

"Then don't make stupid remarks." Hope mutters.

"Someone's cranky." Lizzie crossed hers and everyone else just watched the interaction between the two best friends.

"I wasn't until—" Hope was immediately cut off by Josie as the brunette is sitting between the two bickering teenagers.

"Anyways!" She put up her hands to signal for them to stop which they complied after giving each other a glare.

"Wait Lizzie, I thought you said you didn't want Hope and Josie to be a thing?" Landon spoke up and Lizzie pulled a visible face of disgust.

"Why is it speaking to me?" She asks with no shame making the table laugh.

"Rude." Landon slouches with a frown.

"Be kind." Josie tells her sister who rolls her eyes.

"Why? You don't like him, do you?" Lizzie wondered in disgust.

"As someone who is carrying your future niece or nephew, I am maintaining a positive attitude to be stress free." Josie responded.

"You didn't answer the question about liking Landon though." Rafael reveals.

"As a friend." Josie says swiftly causing the group to erupt into laughter from the quickness of response.

Just then, the Machado twins appear at the table and Ethan greeted Mg while Maya greeted Hope.

"Saltzman twins, when do you think your father will be back?" Maya asks.

"No idea, now shoo." Lizzie took a long sip from her drink.

"Lizzie." Josie gave her a warning with her tone.

"What? Isn't she the—" Lizzie was about to spill but Josie immediately clamps a hand over her mouth.

"He should be back soon." She tells the curly head instead and Maya only nods slowly, curious as to what the blonde was about to say.

"So is this the infamous super squad?" Ethan wondered and Landon smirked.

"Well technically the group was Me, Hope, Mg and Kaleb but it branched out." He tells the curious boy.

"And it is speaking again." Lizzie mutters receiving a jab from Josie making her wince.

"Are you the founder?" Ethan asks Landon and the table laughs yet again.

"Now we all know that's impossible, the founder is the almighty tribrid herself." Kaleb ushered to Hope who was now eating Josie's bacon.

The brunette obviously did not eat meat but she would grab the strips of meat for the others as she was begged and pleaded to by them since they could only get a select amount.

"Hey the bacon!" Mg pouted deeply.

"What are you going to do about it?" Hope smirked and Josie shakes her head.

"That's just messed up man." Rafael spoke and Hope shrugs.

"Are we going to ignore that Josie is pregnant?" Kaleb mentions and Landon perked up.

"I can smell it." Rafael waves off.

"What do you mean by you can smell it?" Lizzie leaned forward.

"Whoever the father is, is definitely a wolf." He claims.

"Maybe that's why my wolf has been so screwed up." Hope was about to take a bite but the piece of bacon was snatched out of her hand.

"Would also explain why I've been craving meat." Josie mentions, consuming the greasy dish with a disgusted face although it tasted amazing.

"See! And you were mad at me!" Lizzie huffed at Hope.

"Because you're annoying and I know for a fact that it's not jealous." She stated.

"Yeah when we get jealous, it feels like our wolves are trying to claw their way out of our chests." Rafael discloses.

"And it's not fun." Hope added on.

"Based on Rafael's information, we can elimated witches and Landon as well." Josie announces and Kaleb chuckles.

"Sorry, it was just funny that she included Landon in the mix." He gestured and Landon crossed his arms with a frown while Lizzie made dissatisfied noise.

"This is also a problem, there are clear hierarchy of powers in the wolfdom. If this baby's other parent isn't an alpha then we are likely in trouble." She unveils.

"Wouldn't said child be a werewitch?" Hope rose an eyebrow.

"Yes but Josie is a siphoner witch, not a full active witch meaning we are technically the bottom of the barrel." Lizzie explains and Mg sighs.

"Let's not worry about it until the baby is born ladies." He tries to dispute the situation.

"I'm not worried about the demon that resides in my stomach at all." Josie tells him sarcastically.

"From cuddling, to sharing food and sarcasm. You and Hope are on fire today hm?" He crossed his arm while Josie's jaw drops.

"Don't get your hair burnt." She threatens and his jaw is now dropped as his hands move to protect his fro.

"Lizzie is a terrible influence on you." Hope declares and Lizzie scoffs.

"I am a great influence!" She states.

"If you were Pinnochio, your nose would have just grown because that was definitely a lie." Hope pulled a face making everyone at the table laugh.

"Oh bitch, fuck you." Lizzie scoffs.
