What is Christmas, if you ask me?
Christmas is a time when you can give your loved ones something special, something extraordinary, or even something ordinary, and they will still be happy.
Christmas wasn't always a holiday for Hope Mikaelson until the brunette Josie Saltzman came into her life.
When Hope first confessed her feelings for Josie, she was afraid of being rejected, but not this time.
Christmas is the holiday when you and your family are sitting at the table and waiting for some miracle at midnight.
Until last year, Hope Mikaelson couldn't believe her eyes when she met a beautiful brunette at midnight. Miracles happen, but unfortunately, not everyone gets it right.
Hope Mikaelson came out at this time, just like Josie, unaware of the meeting with each other.
When a certain brunette was skating, she clearly did not think that the collision would be so close.
"Oh, sorry, it's my fault, I'm just learning to skate and..." The brown — eyed girl stopped her chatter.
"I'm sorry, I'm not looking around" the red-haired girl smiled at the brunette.
"Nothing, it's okay, by the way, I'm Josie Saltzman, but you can just call me Joe," the brunette held out her hand to shake.
"Hope, Hope Mikaelson" the blue-eyed girl accepted the handshake, smiling at him. "Do you want to go for a ride together?" Josie suggested to the girl, who nodded with a smile on her face.
At this time, they do not yet assume that this is their fate.
"Did you go to school somewhere to skate like this?" The brunette asks, looking at the girl who did a backflip.
"My Uncle Col is very good at doing these tricks" Hope laughed, and the brunette got addicted to hearing that laugh forever.
"I see, will he teach me?" Josie's questions.
Hope laughed again, taking the brunette's hands in hers. "There's no need for him to teach you" the short girl said casually.
So the two girls skated until Josie fell on top of Hope Mikaelson.
"I'm sorry, I messed up again" the whisper pierced Hope's ears.
At this moment, this night, time seemed to freeze around them for both girls.
"It's okay" the redhead looked into her warm eyes, not wanting this to end.
Christmas can only be full of miracles if you believe it.
Hope Mikaelson woke up in her bed with her warm body that belongs to the brunette, her girlfriend.
"Good morning, love" Hope said, giving her sleepy girlfriend a perfunctory peck on the cheek.
"Mm, just a few more minutes" the brunette mumbled with a sleepy voice, not wanting to wake up at all.
"Okay, baby, but remember, my relatives are coming to spend Christmas with us" Hope said, giving the girl next to her another kiss.
"Merry Christmas, Hope" the brunette said with her eyes closed.
"Merry Christmas, my love, do you remember what happened that day?" The Mikaelson girl smiles at me.
"Midnight, Hope, midnight, and yes, I remember exactly what happened that night" the brunette corrected her girlfriend.

"Hope, I'm not m... I'm falling" fortunately, the redhead managed to catch the brunette.
"What can't you do, love?" Hope waited for the other girl to respond, smiling at her.
"You have strong hands, even though you're small" Josie said.
Josie liked the way Hope held her in her strong arms.
"Hey, I'm a normal height," the girl pretended to be offended by the brunette.
So, two girls who do not understand what happened.
The two of them leaned into each other, covering both of them in a wave of heat.
They kissed.

"You kissed me, I barely knew you back then, Hope," the girl laughed irritably.
"No, it wasn't like that, Josie Olivia Saltzman," the Mikaelson girl smiled fondly at him.
"I'm sorry," the short girl cautiously pulled away.
"We both wanted this, didn't we?" Josie asks in a whisper.
"Yes," Hope didn't deny that she wasn't.
At that moment, the girl was called by her aunts.
"I have to go, I'll text you," Hope Mikaelson started to roll toward the exit, and the brunette yelled, "You don't have my number," but Hope was already gone.
The Mikaelson girl met up with her aunts.
"Hope, where were you, we were worried?" He asks his niece.
"You won't believe it, I seem to have met my fate at midnight," the youngest of the Mikaelson family smiled.
"Here, and you say that miracles don't happen at Christmas, come on, your uncles are already waiting for us," Freya said.

"God, if it wasn't that night, I was a widow, I swear," the brunette was already getting out of bed with Hope, but Hope had other plans.
"Hope, we're..." - the brown-eyed girl's lips covered the warm lips.
"We still have time for that, my love" Hope said, and Josie didn't mind making love to her girlfriend in the morning.
