"Mom! Mom, wake up!" Someone shook me. "I'm coming, I'm coming" I buried my face in my pillow. "Hope, you have to take the kids to school" Josie reminded me. "One more minute" I pleaded. "Kids wake up your mom!" Josie shouted. A second later, 2 little brunette jumped on the bed. They crawled next to me and woke me up. "Okay okay" I rolled out of bed.
"Ready for your first day of school?" I asked the twins. "Yeah" they both cheered. "And you?" I looked at my older child who was leaning on the door frame. "Pumped" he smiled. "Go make sure you're bags are all ready and go grab your lunches" I clapped my hands to make them leave. "This is going to be a long day" I sighed.

"Auntie Lizzie is going to pick you up after school and babysit you tonight" I looked in the mirror of the car to look at my babies. "Okay we're here!" I parked the car. "Have a good day" I hugged the twins. "I pass my turn" the older one said. "What? I can't hug my kid anymore?" I pouted. "Fine" he sighed.
"Remember the rules. In no case you're allowed to throw spells without supervision. No fight and stay nice to the teachers" I glared at my kids. "Go now" I waved them goodbye as they left.
"They grow up so fast" I whined at Josie. "And we aren't getting younger" Josie smiled. "You know what that means" I smiled. "What?" She raised an eyebrow. "That means I wasn't lying when I said I wanted to grow old with you" I smirked. "And I wasn't lying when I said you were a softie" she added. "Nope. I'm still the big bad wolf" I shook my head. "Whatever you say" Josie laughed. "Have a good day, love" I kissed Josie. "Don't be too hard with the students" she joked. "I can't promise you anything" I laughed before walking toward the Salvatore boarding school.

Me and Josie asked Lizzie to watch the kids tonight so we could go on a date. Being parents really is a full time job and we barely get the time to go on dates together. The night went incredibly well. We went to the restaurant then I drove Josie to the place where we had our first date. We were cuddling, looking at the stars. The life we built together was everything I could've ever wished for.
---------------
When we came back from our honeymoon, we talked to Alaric, Lizzie and Caroline about the merge. They told us everything they knew about it. It was a very emotional moment. From the moment where we all knew about it, we all started to search a way to avoid the merge. My family helped us a lot.
We kept searching for the whole 3 years we had before the merge. We learned that it was why the vampires cult where after the twins. They wanted the prison world to open. We tried our best to keep living a normal life, but it's wasn't easy.
Our wedding gift from Kol and Josie's parents really helped us with the whole 'having a normal life' thing. We learned that they bought us a house. A house! We still live in the same house to these days. It was a big and luxurious house. It was close to the school, but also pretty isolated from others residences.
The day we all feared the most arrived sooner than we thought it would. The love of my life's 22nd birthday. We read somewhere that there might existed a way to stop or avoid it. Basically, other siphoners had to absorb all the magic that the twins accumulated so they would both have no magic so none of them would be stronger. It was the only option we had so we tried it.
I called Nora and Mary-Louise to ask them for help and they generously accepted. All the members of my family accepted to let the twins siphon them. They merge started and everything was going crazy around them. It was like a storm surrounded them. The two heretics did everything they had to do. After quite some time, the storm stopped. I was on alert mode. My glance was jumping to Lizzie to Josie. A second after, they both fell on the ground. I rushed to Josie and I was desperate.
---------------
*Flashback*"Josie! Josie! Wake up" I shook her shoulders. No response. I looked over to Lizzie where Alaric and Caroline were trying to wake her up. After a minute, there was still no sign of life. "Josie please. You can't leave me. I need you baby. God knows I need you. Wake up, my love. We have so much to live" I placed a kiss on her forehead.
We heard a deep and husky breath. In fact, there were two. "Lizzie!" Caroline hugged her daughter. "Josie! Hey baby" I hugged her. "It's the crucial part. That's where we know if it worked" Nora interrupted us.
We waited for any signs of fail or reject. Nothing happened. It worked. The were okay. My wife and my best friend were safe.
---------------
The year later, an old family friend named Vincent called me to tell me about something really important. Scientists found a way for gay couples to have kids with both their DNAs.
Me and Josie talked about it and the month later, Josie was pregnant.
Our first son was born on November 1st. We decided to name him Nicolas Elijah Mikaelson. It was a way for me to pay homage to my dad and my uncle. Niklaus and Nicolas looks and sounds similar. I wanted my child to have a more modernish name. I decided to not change Elijah's name to keep his essence. When he grew a little older, we learned that he was also a tribrid just like me. He has dark brown copper hair and clear blue eyes just like me.
5 years later, Josie was pregnant again. This time, she gave birth to twins on January 5th. My beautiful twins. My little wolf is named Lukas Stefan Mikaelson. Homage to Josie's mom husband who passed and her uncle who died to save his sister and Josie's biological mother. And my little princess is named Olivia Hayley Mikaelson. Homage to her aunt and my mom. Both of the twins are hybrids.
Luke is half siphon witch and half werewolf. He has cappuccino brown hair and green eyes.
Liv is half siphon witch and half vampire. In fact, she is an heretic. Or she will be, when her vampire side gets unleashed. She has dark blonde hair and green eyes, like her brother. She's also 2 mins older, something she will love to remind her brothr when she will be older, just like Josie still does.
What Josie was saying earlier was true, we aren't getting younger. We're both 38 and I will have an important decision to make soon. I don't want to talk to Josie about it. Not yet.
---------------
"I love you so much" I whispered in Josie's ear. "I love you too" she looked up to look at me. "I love the life we built together so much" I sniffled. "I do too baby. And it is far from over" Josie's voice vibrated on my chest.
She was right. Our life was far from over.
THE END.
It is the end! I hope you all enjoyed this story as much as I did. Thanks for reading this story.
