Hope couldn't sleep all night...she couldn't stop replaying last night in her head.

Josie moaned into hopes mouth.

How could hope do this.. especially to Josie.

Hope pulled away.

Hope was up facing the ceiling.

She was looking at as she was on the couch.

It was 6 in the morning and Hope didn't get any sleep.

She decided to get up and make some breakfast.

She hadn't made breakfast in like a week... the last time she did this was for Janice when she wanted to do something nice for her

Janice never ate the food but Hope thought it was the thought that counts.

She knew that Josie couldn't eat bacon but she didn't know much about her daughter... that's why she made everything...

It was about 7 and the food was all done.. she power heated it in the heater.

She knew that Josie and Olivia would be up soon so she made sure to hurry up...

"Mom?" Liv asked as she walked down the stairs

"Hey liv-bear." Hope smiled

"Mommy usually wakes me up... but... but I up all by self." Liv smiled

She loved it when she was all big girl.

"How about we get my favorite girl into a seat so she can have something to eat" Hope smiled

"Is—is it cinamo sticks?" Liv asked

"There's some.." Hope assured

"I hate those.. evewything else I weally love." Liv admits

"Okay.. well I will just eat the French toast." Hope says

"What about mommy?" Liv asked

"Hey...you are all up.. for the first time" Josie says as she walked over and kissed Olivia forehead.

"Yup! I smell cooking and got big nose! I able smell!" Liv says proudly

"Mhmm.. you got the cutest nose" Josie says

She looked at Hope but Hope looked everywhere but Josie's eyes

"So, what are you doing today hope?" Josie asked as she tilted her head

"What do you mean?" Hope asked still not looking Josie in the eyes.

"After school liv has an art class... and after that I have work and usually I would get a baby sitter but you are here now.. so what are you gonna do?" Josie crossed her arms

"I'm going to have the best day with ny princess... right liv bear?" Hope asked liv

Liv nodded her head.

"Yup mom!" Liv says as she wiggled inside her chair.

"And where will you be going?" Hope asked Josie still not looking her in her eyes

"I have a job that I have to maintain to keep this family good.. don't really know how else am I suppose to get money."

"I can always help you out." Hope insists

"Help me out? I don't need your help Hope and I was doing a a damn good job while you weren't here" Josie says

"If this is about yesterday—"

"It's not about yesterday... as far as I know... it never happened." Josie scoffed

Josie was about to walk away but just like last night I pulled her arm back

"Jo I'm sorry." Hope says

"Sorry for what?" Josie tilted her head

"I'm sorry for everything and I shouldn't have led you on" Hope says

"Led me on? Hope you practically made the first move..."

"What's going on mommy? And mom?" Liv asked

"Nothing sweerheart" Hope lies

"Okay... I'm going to finish my food now!" Liv says

Hope and Josie smiled at her.

When tbey turned to face her their smiles dropped

"I don't know what you have going on but it can't be and won't be used here" Josie says

Hope dropped Josie's hand

"I actually enjoyed the kiss jo... that's what scares me." Hope admits

Josie doesn't turns around even though she hesitated a bit. She holds her tongue for this one and just walked away.

Josie didn't know if she still had feelings for Hope but she knew something was going on... she couldn't tell what.

"So, mommies going to help you get dress and I'm going to clean up all this food when you are done my love ." Hope smiled

"I gonna finish right on up" Liv assured

-

"How may I help you?" Lizzie asked

"I'm looking for mikaelson.." Janice says

"Mikaelson? As like my niece?" Lizzie asked in a shocked tone

"No.. like my girlfriend"

"Oh that's right... I remember you" Lizzie says

"Yeah.. I'm starting to remember you.. you must be the dumb blonde.. and your sister is my girlfriends ex girlfriend" Janice smirked

"The whole thing going on with your girlfriend—Hope ...I don't care... I really I just want to know why you are here" Lizzie added

"Because my girlfriend hasn't called me all morning and I'm looking for her" Janice says

"You don't have to add 'girlfriend' to every sentence... we get it with your pick me ass." Lizzie rolled her eyes

"I don't have time to argue with you and I'm just going to ask you to tell me where my girlfriend is" Janice says

"She's probably fucking my sister my now... I don't know" Lizzie half joked

"Don't joke around with something like that... gonna wind up getting yourself killed." Janice threatens

"Who the fuck are you talking to?" Lizzie got up from the chair.

"Aunt wizzie!" Liv runs to Lizzie.

"Hey baby." Lizzie says before she picked up liv.

"Where's your mom?" Lizzie added

"She's in the car with mom... they talk." Liv claps her hands

"About what?" Janice asked

"She's 3.. leave her be." Lizzie says

"Almost 4 auntie" liv says as she held up 5 fingers.

"I know sweetheart." Lizzie says

"Dumb kid." Janice tried mumbling.

"What the fuck did you just say?" Lizzie asked

"I said DUMB FUCKING KID!" Janice yelled

"I think you should go get your mothers liv." Lizzie says

"Otay auntie!" Liv says before running to the door.

Just as liv ran to the door liv had bumped into Hope.

"Oh.. hey mom! Aunt wizzie wants you and some durl" liv swings her arms back and forth.

"Okay" Hope says before picking up liv and walking towards liv.

"What's going on?" Josie asked as she walked over to Hope.

"Janbitch was just talking about my niece.." Lizzie says

Hope put liv down...

"What did you say about my daughter Jan?" Hope asked
