Hope had been working at the grill for about a month now, she had finally earned enough to buy their first piece of baby furniture. Josie had been talking about this expensive bassinet that would soothe the baby at night. She also said it was rated the best on the market for safe sleeping so Hope was all in.




"How does it feel to know you earned that by yourself, without your mom and me" Klaus patted her shoulder as they looked down at the check-in Hopes hands.




"Well, I'd much rather have you and mom spend money on me but I will say it feels nice knowing I'm working for the things I want."




"We are both proud of you love," he said, kissing his daughter's forehead.




"Alright, well I'm going to head over to Josies and show her," Hope said getting up, making her way over to the door, and grabbing her coat off the coat rack.




"Be home by 8 your mother wants to have a family dinner tonight" Klaus called out.




Hope nodded at him before crossing her lawn and into Josies. When she made it to the front door she knocked lightly on the door and moments later was greeted by Lizzie who gave her a bored expression.




"She's in the kitchen."




The auburnette just nodded before walking past Lizzie and into the kitchen where she saw a sight she wish she never saw. Jed and Josie were standing very close to each other having what looked to be an intimate conversation.




Hope let herself from before she gained her composure and cleared her throat getting both of their attention. Josie quickly moved away from Jed and leaned against the counter while the boy shot Hope a dirty look.




"I just came to talk to Josie."




"Whatever you say to her you can say to me."




"Well specific topic doesn't involve you at all" Hope gave him a fake smile which only seemed to piss him off more.




"Jed you should probably go," Josie said.




"Yeah, I have to work anyways, I'll call you later Josie," he said before pushing past Hope and walking out.




"He's a dick," the shorter girl said when the front door closed. The brunette rolled her eyes, making her way over to the counter and sitting at one of the stools.




"So what did you need?" she said resting a hand on her bump.





"Check it out" Hope smiled and held out the check "we can finally buy that spinny thing that played music you wanted to get."




"It's called a safe sleep bassinet" she chuckled before looking that the check "and I'm proud of you Hope, thank you, for doing all of this."




"Of course, and I was thinking we could pick it up today, and maybe spend the day together perhaps go to the movies and lunch."




"Yeah sure, just let me get changed real quick" the brunette stood up before making her way to the room. Hope just watched the girl walk away with a longing look.




"You are whipped," Lizzie said leaning against the archway.




The auburnette jumped, not expecting the girl's presence "god you scared me!"
