"Hosie." Lizzie sang walking through their room door to see Hope painting and Josie doing stretches.

"Hi Lizzie." They say in sync and Lizzie smirks.

"It's been a month into your endeavor, any details I should know?" She skips to the bed and sits down.

"Did you know that Hope has a heart shape vein on her temple?" Josie sat down next to her sister.

"That's not..." Lizzie trailed off.

"Josie is still so shockingly flexible." Hope smirked and Josie blushed while Lizzie eyes widened.

"Oh?" The blonde smirks yet again.

"Not like that." Josie shakes her head.

"But it is like that." Hope teased.

"Hope." Josie whines.

"What?" Hope mimics and Josie punches her in her stomach. "Ow." She grabs Josie's hands and Josie squeals.

"I didn't come here to third wheel." Lizzie gets up then placed her hands on her hips.

"Then why did you?" Hope took her spot.

"Hope's birthday is happening in a week and I came to steal her." Lizzie informs and Hope looked at Josie.

"Okay." Josie smiled. "Have fun." She pecks Hope's cheek causing a chain reaction that made Hope smile.

"Depends, what are we going to do exactly?" She asks Lizzie.

"We are going to be doing a lot, meaning it's a surprise you idiot. Now come on." Lizzie responded, pulling Hope up and leaving the room with the auburn trailing behind.

After about an hour of Lizzie and Hope's absence, Josie was reading when she hears a soft knock.

"Come in." She granted and Sebastian walks in.

"Hey Josie, just wanted to say thank you for lending me these poems. Emily words are always so beautiful." He walks over to the brunette.

"It's still so crazy that you knew her personally, but sit, I'm bored and want to speak to someone." She patted the space in front of her.

"Sure, I don't have many friends still but many girls are trying to you know." He sighed.

"I do know, I'm dating a Mikaelson remember?" Josie jokes with a giggle.

"Where is said Mikaelson anyways?" He chuckled as well then looked around the artistic room.

"She's out with my sister celebrating her birthday early because we are going east of Virginia for the beach." Josie explained and Sebastian gives her a nod.

"I've been doing research and I apparently was put into a prison world, the person who put me there was my great aunt Dahlia. She did so because she said I was worthless as being a Mikaelson heir." He reveals with a small sigh.

"She was quite a bitter woman, she tried to get in possession of Hope and her power when Hope was like 7." Josie informs and Sebastian shakes his head.

"At least she's gone and won't be a burden no longer. Do you have any family drama?" Sebastian asked with a smile.

"Oh you have no idea." Josie giggles.

"Humor me." He ushers.

"Before I was a thought, my psychotic uncle attempted to kill his whole family but my biological mother managed to save her and her twin younger siblings. When my mother and father met, they were together and were going to have me and my sister but my uncle returned during their wedding night and attempted to kill my sister and I but killed my biological mother. My sister and I became surrogates and put into Caroline, our birth mother. Now, my sister and I would have to merge when we are 22 and it will not be fun which is why my mom is searching for a loop hole." Josie explains:

"Wow." He let out a breath.

"Oh and my dad used to be a vampire hunter as well, Hope's dad used to be my dad and Hope's dad was also in love with my mom, Caroline." Josie added on.

"History does love to repeat itself." Sebastian smirked.

"I suppose, but love is a bit extreme right now." Josie shrugged.

"I mean it's easy to fall in love with a Mikaelson, it's harder to fall out of love with us." He flipped his hair that hung over his face dramatically.

"Thank you for your wise words." Josie laughs.

I did come from an era of Shakespeare." He continues to joke.

"How did you get into my room?" Hope appeared and Sebastian turned to her with a smile.

"Josie allowed me in." He admits.

"Only I can allow someone to access my room." Hope crossed her arms.

"I have 50% of your blood and DNA in me Hopey, two of them would make 100%." Josie claimed and Hope squinted eyes, she don't know if that's how it works but it made sense.

"We came back because Hope needed a sweater, we are heading out and will be back after dark." Lizzie tells Josie who nods.

"Here, it smells like me." Josie handed Hope one of her sweaters.

"So strawberries and honey?" Hope walks over and grabbed the piece of clothing.

"Mhm." Josie smiled, pulling Hope towards herself by her hem of the button up Hope had on already.

"Mg wants to know if he can hang with you two?" Lizzie announces.

"Sure!" Sebastian called back.

"Join the nerd club as Lizzie likes to call us." Josie shrugs and Hope leans down to peck the brunette's lips.

"Because you two are nerds." Lizzie pulled a face seeing her best friend and her sister but also took a picture.

"Hey Josie and Sebastian." Mg greeted and they waved.

"We were talking about poetry and our family's history." Josie consulted.

"Sounds cool, but you wanna know what's cooler?" Mg smirked.

"Superheroes." Him and Josie say at the time with the same tone making the boy frown.

"Hey." Mg crossed his arms.

"You're so predictable, bye baby." Josie blew Hope a kiss.

"See you later, see you as well twins." Hope blew Josie and her belly a kiss back then left with Lizzie.

"Yuck, it's weird you two actually happy and together." Mg jokes making Sebastian laugh while Josie rolled her eyes with a smile.
