Bound together

Seven

Hope knew she was going to stay for her daughter.. she had already made up her mind.

The only thing that's holding her back is nothing honestly..

She just has to convince Janice to move down here with her.

Hope phone rings.

"I'm going to go take this." Hope excused herself

Josie looked at her confused but didn't say anything..

Instead her and freya walked into the kitchen where the kids were.

"Hello baby?" Hope answered the phone

"I need to tell you something... I need to tell you something before you find out yourself." Janice says

"What is it baby? Please don't tell me you're pregnant" Hope joked

"I'm not.. trust me I don't want any kids I fucking hate—I mean.. no I'm not pregnant at all.. I just needed to talk to you about something that I have been hiding from you." Janice says

"Uhhh—when do you want to talk about it?" Hope asked as she looked around

"I was thinking maybe right now... don't you think you have spent too much time with that jonnie girl already? I was thinking maybe we could spend some time together." Janice winces

"I was thinking that too baby.. maybe we could spend some time together" Hope says

"And where are we going to sleep tonight?" Janice asked

" probably at a hotel." Hope says

"That's lame.. don't you have like another family house down here?" Janice asked

"Yes but it's in the process of getting redone.. it won't be fixed until next week." Hope says

"Can't they fix it faster?" Janice asked

"I wish they could baby.." Hope says

Liv then entered the living room.

"I have to go Jan." Hope says

"Before you go.. what time are you picking me up?" Janice asked

"5.. " Hope says

"Okay, I'll be ready then." Janice says

"Okay... I'm gonna go now" Hope says before handing up.

"Hello mom... I'm sowwy I was being so clangy" liv pouts

Hope chuckles... "I think you meant clingy..." Hope corrected

"Yeah... clangy." Liv smiles

Hope smiled at her

Hope already loves Olivia.. it's just a mothers instinct.

"Come here." Hope says before she picked up liv.

"Mom.. you are weally dort.. like aunt wizzie said" liv laughs

"Don't listen to your aunt." Hope rolled her eyes playfully.

"Why the bell shouldn't she?" Lizzie asked as she enters Josie's house.

I looked at her confused in how she knew what I was saying.

"Super hearing..." Lizzie says

I nodded.

"Mom! I have a lot of art... wanna s—see?" Liv asked

"Only if it's okay with your mommy." Hope says

"I will be wight back." Liv says as she gestures for Hope to put her down
