"Our babies are going to be quad-lingual." Josie smiles as she walks into the kitchen to Hope teaching the babies French.

"I get English and French, but what are the other two?" Hayley wonders.

"Japanese and Latin." Josie answers, wrapping her arms around Hope and laying her head on her shoulder.

"J'amour ton mère." Hope mutters to her sons and Josie rolls her eyes.

"You're teaching me French, remember?" She mentions and Hope shrugs.

"And Latin, in exchange for Japanese." Hope reminded and Josie looks to Hayes to see him trying to sound out a word.

"He's a fast learner." Josie smiles.

"Yeah, I can't say the same for Niko." Hope sighs and Josie pecks her fiancé's cheek.

"He's the son of one of the smartest people I know, he will be just fine." She reassured then stood up. "Are you sure you can take care of the kids for the summer?" Josie ran a hand through Hope's hair.

"I'll teach them everything, from kicking monster butt to ABC's." Hope flexed her muscles.

"Wait until they can at least walk and talk." Josie rolled her eyes.

In walks Freya with Nik on her back and Keelin by her side.

"Training time you two." Keelin ushered as Freya sets their son down.

He runs to Hayley who hangs him a strip of bacon.

"What are you training for?" Josie asks Hope.

"Parenting." She smiles and Josie reciprocates.

"You're so adorable." Josie giggles then pecked her lips.

"Ew, they smooched." Nik squeals and Hope rolled her eyes.

"Get used to it buddy." She pulls Josie on her lap and gave her a deeper kiss.

"Release my student." Freya smacks Hope on the back of her head.

"Ow." Hope scowls but do let go off Josie.

Josie gets up and gives Hope another kiss before following Freya outside. Keelin sits down next to Hope and Hope summons a notepad.

"First things first, you have to learn your baby. In your case babies. Every little thing they do, you have to get used to, even if they grow out of it. This will help you quickly access the situation and take care of any problems if there is any problems." The older Mikaelson declared and Hope began writing...

"Step two, make sure all your tools are clean before surgery. Any mess up or mistakes can be fatal, not even a drop of sweat." Freya ushered and Josie inspected all of her tools.

They would be practicing surgery or an enchanted creation of Freya's. Any time the brunette makes a fault or screw up, the creation would shoot its insides at her. But Josie is unaware of such...

"Next, always stay prepared. Keep things where you know it'll be easy to access when the time comes." Keelin picks up Nik and puts him on her lap...

"Question." Josie sets down a tool after observing them all.

"Yes?" Freya responds.

"If the patient were to awaken from the drug, what should I do?" Josie began to put on her gloves.

"Pause and ask for assistance to increase the levels of amnesia for your patient." Freya steps back.

Josie began to check the vitals of her "patient". Once everything seemed to be in order, she starts the recording of the surgery and grab the pen. She began to mark the patient while calling out her movements, Freya began to note the actions...

"I'm starting to realize how much Josie and I are becoming our parents." Hope declared and Keelin rose an eyebrow, confused as to where this observation came from.

"Elaborate dearest niece." She leans against the changing table.

"Josie's mom became a doctor, had her twins...maybe not become a vampire, but I'm sure she was an excellent witch. Smart too if she was such a successful doctor at that. It's like, I don't need to meet her to know they are one of the same. I wonder if that is how Josie felt when she's with me, if I'm so much like my parents that I embody them so much it's like they never left."

"Well...speaking from my experience you are most like Hayley. You share her looks too. I used to jump every time I seen you thinking it was her because of how much you resemble her. But you share a lot of your father's taste...maybe not being in love with a blonde, you do have a favorite blonde then "impregnated" a brunette." Keelin teased and Hope rolled her eyes.

"The being in love with a brunette part I got from my aunt, or my mom but mainly aunt Freya. I mean, she did practically raise me too, what are the odds I will end up marrying a smart nurse doctor, whatever you two are or want to be in her case." She laughs then picks up Nikolai who giggles.

"Mama!" He beams and Hope smile does as well.

"Josie is going to be so mad that she didn't get to hear your first word. But yeah Mama is going to be a nurse doctor!" Hope pecks his cheek and he begins to blabber like usual.

"Seems like she'll be a doctor. I'm just a nurse." Keelin stated.

"I'll brag about that to my aunt." Hope smiles proudly and Keelin giggles.

"Your aunt is a doctor you know?" She clarified.

"So? I've saved the world, I think at least." Hope shrugs then walks Nikolai to the play crib where his brother is sleeping.

"Whatever, let's start lesson two." Keelin ushered and Hope summoned her notebook once more...

"Now making a lateral cut in the—UGH!" Josie squeals as a mysterious liquid shoots at her.

"You messed up." Freya clicks her pen and Josie frowns. "I'm shocked, you've perfect so far. What happened?" Freya pauses the recording.

"This might be weird but swear I heard my son say Mama, Niko I mean. He never said it before." Josie admits as she wipes the disturbing liquid off of her.

"I put a sound barrier around this building so that is quite strange." Freya shakes her head then snapped her hands to reverse Josie's mess up. "Let's try again." She nods and Josie does as well.

Freya hits record on the recorder and Josie went back to operating.
