Hosie~ One Shots

A Family Of Our Own ?

In the quiet, mystical grounds of the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted, a sense of normalcy mingled with the extraordinary. Hope Mikaelson, a descendant of the famed Mikaelson family of vampires, had found a semblance of peace amidst her studies and supernatural challenges. Today, however, a different energy buzzed through the air as her family paid a rare visit.

The Mikaelsons were a legendary clan known for their strength and resilience. Among them was Hope's cousin, Nick, a precious four-year-old with tousled brown hair and mischievous blue eyes. Nick had inherited the Mikaelson charm and curiosity, traits that brought him wandering through the school corridors as Hope gave him a brief tour.

Meanwhile, Josie Saltzman, ever diligent in her magical studies, found herself enchanted by the carefree laughter echoing down the hallways. She peeked out from behind a corner and spotted Nick, clutching a toy dragon, his face alive with excitement as he explored.

"Hey there," Josie greeted warmly, kneeling down to Nick's level.

Nick regarded her with curiosity, his eyes brightening with recognition. "You're Josie!"

Josie smiled, charmed by his enthusiasm. "That's right. And you must be Nick. Hope's told me a lot about you."

Nick nodded eagerly, taking a step closer. "Are you a witch too?"

Josie chuckled softly. "Yes, I am. Would you like to see some magic?"

Nick's eyes widened in wonder as Josie conjured a small ball of light, sending it dancing around them. His laughter filled the corridor, a sound that warmed Josie's heart in ways she hadn't expected.

Meanwhile, Hope watched from a distance, her heart swelling with a mixture of fondness and longing. She had always been fiercely protective of Nick, their bond strengthened by shared experiences and family ties. Seeing Josie effortlessly connect with him stirred something deep within Hope—a vision of a future where they could build a family together, filled with love and magic.

As Josie and Nick continued to play, Hope approached quietly, her gaze soft as she watched them interact. She had never imagined herself with a family of her own, always believing her destiny lay in protecting others and embracing her supernatural heritage. But in that moment, watching Josie's kindness and warmth envelop Nick, Hope realized there was so much more she wanted.

"Hey," Josie said softly, noticing Hope's presence.

Hope smiled, her eyes shining with unspoken emotions. "Hey. Looks like you've made a new friend."

Josie glanced at Nick, who was now showing her his toy dragon with animated excitement. "He's adorable."

Hope nodded, her gaze lingering on Josie. "Josie, I... I never thought much about having a family. But seeing you with Nick... it made me realize how much I want that. With you."

Josie's heart skipped a beat, her own feelings echoing Hope's unspoken desire. "Hope..."

Hope took a step closer, her hand finding Josie's. "I know we are to young for that right now and we have so much ahead of us, battles to fight and challenges to overcome. But I want to face it all with you. Together."

Josie looked into Hope's eyes, seeing a future filled with possibilities. "I want that too, Hope. More than anything."

They share a tender kiss that sealed the silent promise of their future.
