"Mg!" Lizzie practically tackled her boyfriend as he stood by the entrance with flowers.

"Hey babe." Mg greeted back and Lizzie smothered him with kisses.

"Parents are still here." Caroline rose an eyebrow and Lizzie jumps off of her boyfriend.

"Do I get to see your niece and nephew?" Mg asked his girlfriend.

"Nephews." She corrected.

"Nephews?" He asked.

"Yup, one is like Hope but the opposite." She briefly explained.

They watched as Hope and Josie exit the car with a stretch once their feet hit the pavement of the pathway to the entrance. Sebastian also exits the car and vamps into the school with his stuff to get his unpacking done quickly.

"I'll carry Nik, you get Hayes." Hope instructed.

"Got it." Josie opened the trunk to her dad's truck and did a quick transportation spell to Hope's room with their stuff.

Hope pulls out Nikolai from the car along with the car seat then began making her way into the school. Josie does the same with her sister and Mg following. They made it to Hope's room with no issue and set the twins down in the cribs before turning to face the other couple.

"So—" Lizzie was about to speak but was immediately interrupted by a large crowd hurdling towards them.

"Josie!!!" Landon and Rafael erupted causing Nikolai to start screaming and crying.

"You idiots." Hope growled making them jump.

"Oh, we are sorry, we didn't know she gave birth." Landon rambled but was pummeled into the wall with a punch along with his brother from Hope.

"Shh shh, it's okay Nik. Just go back to sleep." Josie tried cooing the baby boy and to her surprise it had seemed to work.

He now calmed but was wide awake. Josie wiped his tears then picked him up.

"Ow." Rafael groaned while Landon was barely conscious.

"Was that really necessary?" Cleo sighed and Hope shrugged.

"I believe so, my wolf did not take the disturbance of my pup too well." She walks over to Hayes to see that he is still asleep.

Cleo eventually healed Landon and they sit on the small couch in the auburn's room.

"When does Kaleb get back? I'm looking to spar someone, I have these heightened urges and wolfing out isn't helping much." Hope sighed, sitting down on her bed.

"Why spar when you have Josie?" Lizzie asked and it went silent.

"Huh?" Josie rose an eyebrow.

"Heh?" Hope says at the same time.

"Uh—LIZZIE!" Josie blushed and looked away while Nikolai giggled.

"Even your son agrees." Lizzie shrugs with a teasing smirk.

"He's an infant!" Josie places the small boy in his crib.

"Shh, you don't want to wake your other son now do you?" Lizzie asked, a sly hint of mischief in her tone.

"Hope put a silencing spell around his crib, to ensure that no one else disturbs him." Josie explained, taking a seat next to her fiancé.

"That was quick." Mg muttered, not remembering hearing Hope utter a single word.

"Yeah yeah, I'm bored. Can you two grow up already so mom can teach you how to fight?" Hope sighed at her new borns.

"Hope!" Josie protested.

"What?" Hope frowned.

"Unpack since you have so much free time." Josie demanded and Hope gets up.

"Fine." She vamps and quickly unpacks.

It takes her about five minutes and in those five moments the super squad talks about monsters and many other teenage things; parties.

"There is no way we would be able to attend parties now." Josie sighed.

"Come on Jo, it's been almost a year since you last went." Lizzie pouted.

"I don't even like parties, I only would go to make you happy." Josie admitted making Lizzie's jaw drop.

"Hey! Me too!" Hope responded, carrying a stack of diapers into the closet.

"Keep cleaning bastard!" Lizzie scolded.

"Keep cleaning bastard." Hope mocked making Josie giggle, this in return caused Hope to smile.

"Anyways, I don't know much about Hope's childhood but I do know that she was targeted for being an anomaly. If my boys were to be targeted then I am going to be ready for anything." Josie explained and Lizzie frowned.

"Having kids sounds like such a burden, but we will be by your side to protect my nephews." She shot a thumbs up at her twin sister and Josie gave her a soft smile.

"Whatever or whoever the next target will be, we wi—" Hope stops speaking and her and Josie holds the same expression.

"What was that?" The brunette asked, blinking a few times.

She shot up, concerning the rest of the squad.

"What was what?" Mg asked and Josie felt it again, so does Hope.

"Wait, no. That can't be..." Hope then passes out and so does Josie.

The squad shoots up this time and inspects what happens, sending Lizzie on overdrive.

"Mg, go grab my mom and dad." Lizzie commanded and Mg nods.

"Got it." He vamps away.

"Let's put them on the bed, I'll check on my nephews." Lizzie instructs before rushing to her nephews.

The others does as told. Meanwhile, Hope and Josie awakes to a small boy staring at them. They immediately noticed the brunette hair, an auburn streak going from his eyelash and through his hair where his blue eye lies.

"Hayes?" Josie immediately asked and the boy eyebrows shoot up.

"Woah. So it is you guys." Hayes picked up a stick and poked Hope making her scowl.

"Stop that." Hope grabbed the stick and Hayes frowned.

"I have to warn you on something." He says when he seen Hope's golden eyes.

"What is that mark in your blue eye?" Josie wondered and Hayes rose an eyebrow.

"Hm? Oh this is the Potivulum marking. I absorbed the thing but don't worry about that. It doesn't cause any issue to me, it's not activated from my infant self. But that's not important, Nikolai is your bigger issue." Hayes explains.

"Nik? How come?" Josie pouts naturally, Hope being on guard for what the boy has to say.

"Well there's something you should know about him, something big." Hayes tells them before looking up at the moon...
