An secret or two

"What the hell are you doing here?" Hope asked as she stepped up to Alaric.

"Kaleb invited me, he said he wanted all the people that mattered most to him to be here and well.. here I am" Alaric smirked

Josie felt her heart stop "I'm going to go find the kids" Josie excused herself brutally and left Hope there by herself.

"I'll go catch up with some others" jade excused herself before walking in Josie's direction, Hope wanted to stop her but she had Alaric to deal with.

Hope looked over at Joey and could see he was ready to piss himself. "What might be your name? You look familiar" Alaric reached his hand out to greet Joey.

Joey looked down at the hand and then back up at Alaric "are you trying to give me some disease? Because I'll have you know I'm a allergic to apes" Joey says trying not break character

"Why so mean?" Alaric raised his eyebrow

"Oh I'm sorry, let me just pull an nice card out of my ass" josiah rolled his eyes before walking away

Alaric watched as he walked away "what's wrong with him?" Alaric asked hope

"You. Just stay away from my kids and we shouldn't have a problem" Hope groaned

"Your kids? They are my grandchildren, and I have been in their life longer than you have so you have no say in whether I can spend time with them" Alaric scoffed

"You may have been there for them and I thank you for that but you will stay away from them. At all cost, because I demanded so and if there is a problem with my request you can take it up with my buddy Joey, because I don't have time to deal with trash like you" Hope scoffed as she was about to walk away but Alaric grabbed her hand.

Alaric raised his eyebrow "what's going on? Last time we talked we were on good terms and now you are saying all this"

Hope looked down at Alaric's placement on her and he immediately pulled his hand back "would you ever hurt family?" Hope asked out of no where

"Of course not, family is what matters most to me seeing as I didn't have much when I was just a boy" alaric says

Hope wanted to believe him, she wanted to push the whole thing away but she knew in her heart that she couldn't take any chances "right.. I'm going to get seated for the wedding" Hope says before walking away.

"Hey doll face, you didn't say much to me back there" jade smiled as she walked up to Josie who was cleaning off both of the twins face.

"I don't have time for this right now jade, besides, this is Kaleb's and Cleo's wedding, I don't want to make a scene" Josie assured

"You would only be making a scene if I did something wrong, in which I didn't" jade assured as Josie just rolled her eyes

After Josie got done with cleaning off Peyton's face, Peyton, walked up to jade.
"Leave my mommy alone" Peyton says as he glared at jade.

"And if I don't?" Jade asked with a cocky smirk

Peyton glared before running off. "Your son isn't so brave to be a mikaelson" jade laughed it off as Andrea tried her best not to kick the blonde in her shins.

"Is everything okay over here?" Kaleb asked as he walked over to the group.

"I don't know.. maybe you should ask jade" Josie says as she glared.

Jade smirked "is there a problem jade?" Kaleb asked

Jade shook her head "no, there's no problem, just some old friends catching up" jade smiled as she looked over at Kaleb.
