Four hours into their road trip Hope was all cozy in the passenger seat, a small blanket still wrapped around her as she had only woken up from a nap a bit ago. To occupy herself, Hope decided to read as she entertained a conversation with Alexandria.

Luckily for the driver of the two, Alexandria didn't get tired easily thanks to her endurance as a hybrid. But that wasn't her issue as she continuously pestered Hope about her family.

"Okay, give me the rundown of your family again," Alexandria said as she focused on the road.

Hope smiled as she found Alexandria's increasing worry just a little bit adorable. "Again? Alex, you're gonna be fine. They're gonna love you," she reassured.

Alexandria briefly glanced over to give her a pointed look. "I prepared this whole thing with the idea that I would be back in Mystic Falls. But now I'm driving both of us to New Orleans where I'm gonna be meeting your family for the first time. I haven't exactly had time to mentally prepare for meeting my girlfriend's family which just happens to be filled with the Original Vampires and a bunch of very powerful supernaturals," Alexandria rambled, flailing one hand around to emphasise her point and her own stress even more.

Hope opened her mouth to object but fell short as she understood the girl's perspective. "Okay, when you put it like that..."

"See?!" Alexandria exclaimed.

Hope chuckled as she reached over to lightly squeeze her arm. "Alright, but you go this time. Let's see just how much you remember," she playfully challenged.

Alexandria dragged out a sigh. "Okay, so there's the oldest, your Aunt Freya. A witch married to Keelin, a werewolf," Alexandria began, looking over for a moment for confirmation.

Hope nodded. "Yup, and there's my cousin, baby Nik."

"I can't wait to meet him actually," Alexandria added with a smile but cleared her throat as she remembered the next member of the Mikaelson family. "And then there's your Uncle Kol. Original Vampire, married to Davina, a witch."

"Mhm."

"And then your Aunt Rebekah. The youngest, but the first out of her siblings to become an Original Vampire," Alexandria continued with confidence. "And she's married to Marcel, an... upgraded vampire?" she recalled the name with uncertainty this time as she had only heard of the species just moments ago.

"Correct," Hope congratulated.

"Out of all of them, who should I be looking out for the most?" Alexandria asked curiously.

Hope closed her book as she looked over. "Definitely my Aunt Freya. She's got a thousand years of knowledge and magic to back her. And out of all of them, I think she's the most protective of me. She was the one who stayed by my mom's side and helped raise me during those seven years when my family had to be separated," she recalled, her voice going quieter as she thought back to the difficult time.
