"Please put me down." Hope whined as Kol and twirled her around.

"It's been so long." He exclaimed as he wiped fake tears.

"You look older." Hope teased and his face fell.

"Don't give him a heart attack." Davina giggled.

"He needs a heart to have one of those. But look how cool my fangs are now." Hope flashed her hybrid fangs and they actually were invested until Freya intervened.

"Never mind that, wow Josie you have grown so much." Freya hugged the pregnant girl who had finishes looking through her bag.

"Can you do my check up since I'll be here now." Josie wondered and Freya smiled happily.

"Of course." She nodded.

"Let me do it this time?" Keelin suggests.

"But I want to see my second niece and nephew." Freya pouted

"I do too and you already had gotten to." Keelin rose an eyebrow.

"Fine.." Freya sighed.

"Happy wife happy life." Hope muttered and Rebekah and Kol snickered.

"I mean we all can still see them, it's just a check up." Josie defused the situation and they all agreed.

"Unless you're too jet lagged or have plans, we can do it now." Freya informed and Hope looked at Josie then they heard Josie's belly growl.

"Oh." Rebekah giggles while Josie blushed in embarrassment.

"Did you not feed the poor woman?" Davina asked her niece.

"She said she wasn't hungry." Hope frowned.

"You should know that pregnant women are always hungry, especially because she's carrying two but eating for three." Freya explains.

"Stop scolding me like I'm not a first time parent nor did I even get her pregnant in the first place." Hope frowned and Josie pouted.

"Oh goodness." Kol sighed.

"Poor puppy, it's okay. I'm just now experiencing the hunger." Josie pulled Hope into her arms and pecked the top of her head, cheering up the tribrid.

"I'm not a puppy." Hope pulled a face and Josie only giggles.

"Right, come I'm hungry." Josie pulled Hope to what she saw was the kitchen.

It was bigger than the school's kitchen making Josie grow more hungry.

"I'll make you some sandwiches." Hope used her vampire speed to move about easier.

"Thank you." Josie smiled at her girlfriend.

"Mhm." Hope hummed.

"Bacon please?" Josie blushed slightly at the request.

"What's up with you and bacon?" Hope wondered.

"I don't know, ask your children. You know I hate it but they love it." Josie pouted and Hope pecked her lips.

"No pouts." She instructed and Josie smiled softly, reconnecting their lips.

"Yuck." Rebekah fake gags.

"Awww." Kol cooed.

"Leave them alone you two!" Freya scolded from the living room.

"Ugh, such a snore." Kol muttered.

"I heard that!" Freya yelled.

"No you didn't!" Kol yelled back, Freya casted a spell sending Kol down a hall while Davina jaw drops.

"This is going to be a long vacation." Hope sighed and Josie giggles.

"I like your family, just an innocent chaotic to them." She rested her head on Hope's shoulder.

"Minus my father daggering them for eternities." Hope jokes and Josie rose an eyebrow.

"At least they were still alive." She stated.

"Touché." Hope finished the first sandwich which Josie began to consume.

After Hope finished making the sandwiches and Josie consumed them. They made their way to Hope's room to move their bags and Josie noticed no difference between here and the manor in Virginia. Just this room had baby photos which she cooed at.

"Please stop looking at my younger self." Hope sighed and Josie pouted.

"But you were so adorable and so ginger. I miss your freckles." Josie sets down the photos then sat down

"My aunts are setting up a mini er in case we are here longer than intended." Hope informed.

"Can you believe it? Our babies are coming in just under 3 months." Josie squeals excitedly.

"I can but also can't. I'm so ready to be a mom." Hope crotched in front of Josie then kissed the baby bump.

"Alright it's all set up." Marcel announces at the doorway with a hand covering his eyes.

"Marcel we aren't doing anything." Hope stood up.

"I heard kissing noises." He declared.

"Yeah I kissed her belly." Hope chuckles then helped Josie up.

"Oh." He removed his hand then led the couple to the room.

Once entering, Hope helped Josie onto the bed and Josie lifts her shirt already used to the procedure. Keelin places the gel on Josie's belly and placed the transducer onto the baby bump. A couple seconds pass and the screen reveals two babies compacted in her womb. Josie smile while Hope eyes began to glow with a smile also on her face.

"They are quite healthy and growing quite fast, but that's not much of a problem." Keelin informed and Josie nods.

They watched as Josie's belly bucks and one of the babies twitch.

"Ow." Josie says and Hope eyes lock with her girlfriend's with concern.

"What was that?" She asked placing her hand at the bottom of the baby bump.

"Hiccups, pretty common." Keelin took a picture of the sonogram and clicked off the machine.

Josie wipes the gel off then watched as her belly bucks again.

"Oh please go away hiccups." Josie sighs and Hope lay her head on the baby bump.

"I can't wait to meet them, they are so adorable already." Hope pecks the skin then lifted her head and Josie waited for another hiccup but none occurred.

"And they will love you more." Josie sat up with a pout while Hope's eyebrows furrowed.

"They love us equally baby, come on don't say." She reassured and Josie rested her head against Hope's forehead.

"Then how come every time I'm with you I feel no pain or experience anything drastic but when I'm alone they crush my ribs." Josie says.

"Maybe because we are wolves, they can probably sense me and wolves have strong prides. It has nothing to do with loving me more, they are just trying to show dominance to each other and sadly you have to fall victim to it. If my mom was here, she would've told you that I was kicker until my father would tell me to stop and I would." Hope chuckles at the memory while Josie pout turns into a soft smile.

"You're going to be a great mom." Josie cups Hope's face.

"Yes we are, love." Hope kissed Josie's hands then helped her off the bed.
