"Hope if you've come here to disturb me, I am busy." Josie tells the auburn as soon as she step foot into the room, Hope vamps to Josie, leaning down to peck her cheek capturing Josie's gaze.

"I have not, I'm here to work and no place is quieter than in here. I need to research on potential students who would be suitable to become a part of the new Super Squad." Hope reveals before pecking the brunette's lips then took a seat on of the chairs in front of Josie's desk.

"I think our children would hate you if you didn't include them." Josie teased and Hope chuckles.

"Well not to be biased, but they are the most powerful beings to ever exist." She began to open the stack of files she summoned from Lizzie's office.

The couple sat in silence for a little while, continuing their focused task until Josie looked up to see Hope's sorting of only a short stack of files compared to a massive stack. Josie could only assume that the larger stack was sorted as the non-suitable pile making her shake her head. Then she remembered something...

"I have a student who wants to learn and became a supernatural doctor, maybe you should consider them." She informed and Hope only looks up with her eyes.

"Them? Are there more than one?" The auburn questioned and Josie shakes her head with a small smile.

"No, they're just non-binary." She reveals and her wife rose an eyebrow.

"Okay, give me their file." Hope ushered, putting the one in her hand onto the non-suitable pile.

"Don't you think you're being a little harsh? I mean, I was a siphoner witch when I was in the Super Squad, the low of lows." Josie furrowed her eyebrows.

"Josie, siphoning is a great feat, taking the energy of your enemy to the point where you can immobilize or even kill them. You are just too kind hearted to do such actions but you still had the great feat of potions, dark magic and defensive spells." Hope shakes her head at the claim from her wife.

"Tell me again as to how I gotten so lucky?" Josie couldn't help but smile, Hope is the only person who could make her feel so seen, everytime without fail.

Well minus their children of course.

"I should be the one saying that, after all that you've endured for me and the kids." Hope returned the smile and Josie stood up to sit down on Hope's lap.

"I can't wait to actually marry you." Josie mutters, her hands grasping Hope's face as their lips hovered over each other.

"Neither can I, but you are very much still my wife." Hope responded, connecting their lips into a bruising kiss leaving Josie breathless.

"Mommy!" Eileen called as she entered the room.

"Yes sweetheart?" Josie shot up from the floor, behind her desk, tiredly.

"Why is your hair so messy?" Eileen tilted her head and Josie blushed, running a hand through it to straighten it out.

"I just took a nap." She half lied, she did indeed take nap but after doing a certain action with the girl's mom.

"Why are you blushing?" She squinted her eyes and her mother huffed.

"Do you need something?" Josie sighs.

"I'm hungry." Eileen shrugs.

"Go eat in the cafeteria." Josie climbed onto her chair then leaned her head on her hand.

"I like your cooking better...well I actually like Mom's cooking more but I can't find her." Eileen frowned and Josie squinted her eyes this time.

"That was just rude." She then rolled her eyes.

"Is that Mom's shirt?" Eileen points out.

"Yes." Josie admitted, no point in lying to the girl.

"Do you know where Mom is?" Eileen continued her interrogation but before Josie could answer, her twins decided to.

"Judging from the smell, she's been in her." Hayes points out making Josie blush again, not knowing that Hayes was only smelling his parents' scent and not something else.

"Judging from the fading bruises on her neck, she was definitely in her, or still might be." Nikolai teased and Josie eyes widened.

"What do you know?" She asked, horrified by the observation.

"Enough, I lived with Auntie Lizzie for most my life." He shrugged playfully and Josie shakes her head.

"Dammit Lizzie." She mutters,

"Ooh, Mommy cussed." Eileen giggles.

"You three leave so I can change." Josie lets out a deep breath and Nikolai rose an eyebrow.

"You literally birthed us." He stated and Josie only furrowed her eyebrows.

"Motus." She casted, sending all three out of room.

"Ahh!!" They yelled, falling on top of one and another and in front of Hope.

"What did you idiots do this time?" Their mother shook their head at the image before her.

"Oh hey Mom—" Hayes greeted but to get immediately cut off by his sister.

"Is that takeout?!?" Eileen stood up at the speed of light with fury spewing from her.

"Yeah what the heck, I want some!" Nikolai does the same and Hope shakes her head once more.

"Then buy some, you're a Mikaelson with an unlimited amount of funds." Hope was about to enter the office but Eileen kicks her shin, which had no effect on the older woman.

"You could've gotten us some!" She pouted.

"Didn't know you wanted any, and plus this is for your Mother." Hope rolled her eyes at the diva. Hope then enters the room and seen Josie cleaning up the mess they made. "I've gotten you some food." She announces, catching her wife's attention.

"Oh thank you." Josie smiled, taking the bag and setting it onto the desk.

"You and Mom are meanies." Eileen shakes her head with a deep frown.

"Stop being a sour puss, I'm really regretting allowing her to be apart of the Super Squad now." Hope sighed and Hayes face lit up.

"Wait you are actually forming a new Super Squad?!?" He wondered excitedly.

"Yes." Hope revealed.

"Oh boy I can't wait!" Hayes squeals.

"You won't handle any monsters though, just training." Josie tells them making their jaw drops.

"What?!? That's not fair!!!" Nikolai crossed his arms.

"Why are they so whiny today?" Hope ran a hand down her face and Josie giggles.
