|MISSING PIECE|

It has been a week since Odette gave birth to the twins. Hayley and Odette only planned to stay with Odette's childhood home for a few months, in the remodeled storage room out in the back that was able to fit two beds and a crib.

Worried for his daughter Aaron knocks on the door, hearing no response he opens the door and immediately sees Odette laying on her side in bed with her two newborns. They were fussy but not crying meaning the two weren't waking each other up and Odette didn't have to handle two crying newborns alone while Hayley was inside the house with Hope.

Aaron walks towards the bed his daughter laid in with a blanket wrapped around her legs, "Cleophus informed us about what is going to happen, and with what is going on with you"

At her father's words, Odette couldn't help but become annoyed at the old witch, "I'm assuming 'us' means Hayley and you"

"And Marisol," Aaron says making Odette scoff as she moves to sit upon the bed giving her folded armrest, making Aaron sit at the edge of the bed

"What did you want?" Odette asks her dad not feeling like talking to anyone 

"To talk to my daughter, maybe you know her?" Aaron says making Odette look at him with a look that could kill

"Seriously?" Odette asks dead serious not in the mood for any jokes or to just be talking to anyone 

"Well since your not in the mood for my jokes. What is going on with you, all you do is stay in this room with the kids" Aaron says as he wasn't the only one who was worried for his daughters well being as she was stuck in a routine that was isolating 

"Appa its nothing"

"Does it have to do with Niklaus and having to leave him behind?" Aaron says making Odette look up him letting out an exhausted sigh, he was the first one to say his name in the longest time and so she opened up her dad just like old times 

"I was so afraid to lose myself in him"

"Why?"

"Because I felt like a hypocrite with so much self-doubt...I-i never let him paint me because I was afraid of how I would look in his eyes" 

"Why?" 

Odette looks over at her dad annoyed that he only kept asking the simple word 'why', "I get that Hope is starting to repeat the words around her, but why are you?"

"You would always tell me how you were feeling, that was our deal after your mom died. I know you are all grown up now but you aren't talking to anyone so I need you to talk to me" Aaron says making Odette look down at her babies before standing up from the bed and start to think of what she wanted to say while pacing the room

"An artist's rendition of something- it-it says so much more than any words ever could. I fell in love with a guy who has a Viking name not because his parents love history but because he was born during that era. He has had years and years to fall in love with people and-and suddenly I-m having his kids and falling in love with him. I asked him to marry me because I want a life with him forever. A-and now... a part of me thinks that I asked him because there was a prophecy predicting his end. I-"

"Let me stop you right there. I am the one person who has known you the longest time right?" Aaron asks making Odette nod her head "Meaning I know that you best and you never say anything you don't mean. You may keep your mouth shut at times but the times that you do say stuff without a second thought you mean because of most of the time if not all you mean it from the heart."

"Appa that doesn't make me feel any better," Odette says looking down at her sons, Spencer was now sleeping while Matthew was covering his face with a blanket meaning he was close to falling asleep
