What Could Go Wrong

To say that Josie Saltzman was avoiding Hope Mikaelson was an understatement. Josie had been playing a one-sided game of hide-and-seek with Hope and she had been successful for two months. Josie made any and every excuse possible to not be in the same room as Hope, she knew it was childish of her but when she was ready. She would find Hope and talk with her. 

It's not that didn't want to talk with her, but the subject that Hope wanted to discuss was something that Josie wanted to forget. She wanted nothing more than to forget what happened, but also as much as Josie hated what they did she did not regret it. Josie would do it again in a heartbeat all for Hope. 

As she walked into her room Josie let out a sigh. Lizzie was gone for the week to go see her mother due to her having an emotional breakdown. She missed Lizzie but she was glad to have the room to herself. She was also glad her sister was getting the help she needed.

Josie began to change out of her school uniform into some PJs. As she was taking her shirt of Josie heard her door open. 

"Hope?" Josie said, as she quickly slipped on the shirt she laid out for herself to wear.

There went her to plan to avoid Hope for at least three more days. "What are you doing here." Josie sounded a little harsher than she would have liked. 

"You have been avoiding me and I would like to know why?" Josie looked at the floor. 

She sat on her bed and patted the spot next to her so Hope could sit down. Josie did not have to look up to know that hope had sat next to her. She could feel her bed sinking in as Hope sat down. Josie took a couple more seconds and turned to look at Hope. When her eyes came into contact with Hope's blue eyes her slight anger faded away. How could she ever be mad at those blue beautiful eyes. 

"So..." 

"Right," Josie answered. "I have just been busy with Lizzie." That was a lie. Josie did not want to tell Hope the real reason she was avoiding her, but she knew she had to give Hope some kind of answer because if she didn't Hope would not stop until she got one. 

"Oh, is she okay?" 

"Yes, she is. She just needed me a lot so I've been checking on her more." Josie went on about how she was not upset in any way with her. "I promise it's not you, its me."

They talked for a while until eventually, they decided to watch a movie together. As they watched the movie Josie did not know when or how but they ended up cuddling, and like always Josie was the little spoon. It was rare when they cuddle, usually, Landon was around and Hope was different when he was around. She wasn't mean to her but she was colder around him, Hope would not hug her as much or hold her hand freely. Josie did not know why that was the case because before Landon they were like that but of course, since Hope was dating Ladon, Josie knew Hope had to respect him. 

"Do you regret it?" Josie was shocked by the question but she knew exactly what Hope was talking about. Josie turned around. Her face was a few inches away from Hope's. Josie wanted to make sure she was looking into Hope's eyes when she answered. 

"No." Josie partly lied. She did not regret what she did with Hope. What she did regret was that she had to also do it with Landon. When Hope asked her if she wanted to have a threesome Josie did not take time to think the question through she just answered yes. Josie only answered yes because Hope asked her. That night that all three of them did what they did Josie was comfortable but she was mostly comfortable because she was staring at Hope most of the time. They also had rules, Landon was not allowed to kiss her. Landon could touch but kissing her was out of the deal and they had a safeword in tack so if any of them felt like stopping they would immediately.

"Promise?" 

"I promise I don't regret anything I did with you." Josie said as she cupped Hope's face. Josie's heart melted when she saw the smile on Hope's face. To make sure that Hope kept that smile Josie would do anything.

Hope could not believe she just had a threesome. When Landon told Hope that for their year anniversary he wanted to have threesome she was a bit upset, a part of her thought it was because she wasn't enough. The other part of her was upset because that meant she would have to show her body to someone else. Hope had not put much thought into what to get for Landon so when he told her she knew she had to say yes. The only condition she put for Landon was that she would choose the girl. Landon agreed to that condition and Hope knew exactly who she wanted to ask.

Hope came up with a simple idea. She would ask Josie because they was no way sweet, innocent, Josie would say yes to something like that. Hope, however, was proved wrong when she asked Josie and the girl said yes, she didn't even take a moment to think about it she point-blank answered yes. 

The day the threesome happened they had a plan. It was on a Friday, that way they could leave campus without any problem. They did not have to worry about Alaric because he went to be with Caroline for the weekend and help her with some research. 

They got a hotel room that of course, Landon paid for. Hope told him she was low on money which wasn't a lie but the money she did have she wanted to buy Josie a box of chocolate after this night. 

When the night ended Landon left due to being called by Rafel. Apparently, he had an emergency that only Landon could help him with. That left Hope and Josie alone. 

The girls laid in bed under the covers in each other's embrace. Hope smiled when she looked over at Josie. She was wearing nothing but a bra, it was the one thing she did not take off when Landon was there. "You okay?" Hope asked. Josie gave her a small nod. 

Hope has no idea what took over but she kissed Josie. Hope pulled away but was surprised when she felt Josie pulled her back in. As they kissed Hope began to move her kissed down Josie's collarbone. Hope began to suck on Josie's neck, she loved the noises she was getting out of the girl. Hope pulled away one more time, looking deeply into Josie's eyes.  

Josie was in awe when she saw Hope hovering over her. What made her more in awe with Hope was Hope's eyes. Hope eyes were now gold which Josie know meant Hope's wolf side was possibly taking over, but she knew she wasn't in danger Hope would never hurt her. 

"Do it," Josie whispered. Josie watched as her eyes got more gold. She had no idea what Hope was going to do but Josie was not afraid of Hope. She was a bit excited to see what Hope was going to do. Josie was shocked when she felt the bite on her neck. It was painful but the pain brought her pleasure. Josie could not help but moan. When Hope pulled away from the bite, Josie felt Hope's tongue soothing the bite. 

"I love you, Josie Saltzman." 

"I love you too Hope Andrea Mikaelson." 

They spending the rest of that night forgetting about the world. In each other's arms. Pretending that night at least that nothing kept them from being together.

Hope got out of her thoughts. What happened with her and Josie after Landon left has not escaped her mind. A part of Hope wanted to relive that moment but the other part of her knew she could not hurt her boyfriend. There was no way Hope would suggest another threesome because the thought of Landon touching Josie again made Hope want to strangle her own boyfriend. 

Hope sat in the nurse's office. She had come down with the flu or something because for the past couple of days she was throwing up. Hope looked around the office as she checked her phone Landon had texted her asking for them to talk. Hope did not know why but she had a sinking feeling in her heart. Things had been rocky for the couple. Hope thought Landon was becoming a bit territorial and jealous of Josie. 

Hope brought her attention to the nurse as she asked her a series of questions about her health. Hope answered them truthfully. She knew the answer right away to all until the nurse asked if she could possibly be pregnant. She did not answer she simply left the room and ran out. 

She could not be that reckless. Hope could not have a kid. She was just a kid herself, she was 17 and motherhood was not in her plans. Especially considering that she is a tribrid her child would be a tribrid too just like her and possibly be attacked by monsters on a daily basis. 

Before she even went to talk with Landon she needed answers, she needed to know what was happening. If she was carrying his child once she found out she would let Landon know and explain to him that she would not be going through the pregnancy. 

It took Hope a week to take that test. During that week she avoided everyone, even Josie who kept trying to get her attention. 

When Hope finally sat down to have the conversation with Landon it did not go as she planned. Instead of getting Landon to agree with her, he wanted the child. Which caused the debate to begin. 

"Consider my side?" Hope wall dropped when she heard how desperate Landon sounded. "Hope I don't have any family or anyone that truly loves me unconditionally. This baby can be it. This baby can be my family." 

"Okay," Hope agreed to what her boyfriend was asking her. She did need to consider his side. This baby was his family, the only living biological family he had that had not tried to kill him. Hope knew she wasn't ready but with help, she knew she would be okay. 

"I can't wait to tell Raf." 

"Nope!" Hope shouted, "You do not tell anyone until I tell Hope." Hope was grateful that Landon agreed, but she also knew that boy could not keep a secret from Rafel to save his life.
