( She knows about the curse, not the ins or outs, but the basics. She understands how Josie had to have that in the back of her mind, how couldn't she. Women are taught and raised remembering biologically of what they're capable of. Thanks, mother freaking nature. She squeezes Josie's hand in hers. )
We can talk about anything. It's talking. ( She can see how dating her could, technically, let Josie off the hook, at least in the short run. She's now the full Tribrid. And she and Josie, together, wouldn't be able to make kids, anyway. She's right. ) I just want you to know that, whatever is going on in there, you can share it. The good, the bad. The merge. Kids. You can't be the daughter of Klaus Mikaelson and not think about raising kids.
One day? I could see it. I mean, we're barely out of high school and I'm still in the finding myself stage, but... Yeah, if - somehow or some way. I could see it.
Oh, yeah. Not anytime soon. I want to at least have graduated and have a job before kids come into the picture.
[And also be married but that seems like a loaded grenade to throw into this conversation, even if Hope is the person that she sees her future with - at least right now.
They are young. She tries not to lose sight of that.]
And, maybe other commitments that make sense beforehand, and to make sure we're not bringing a kid into the dangerous world we tend to live in. Which, I know, is... what it is.
I don't know? I mean. You're Josie, no matter what you look like. Eventually, it could get sad. But, there are also plenty of witches who are older than we think. So, seasoned, or wise, or just figuring everything out, I'll take you any way.
( The reality of it is scary, scarier than the kids conversation. )
And vampirism isn't completely off the table. Like if it's turn or die, I'm going to pick turn. But ... I think some of the things I want to do, witch-wise, work better if I'm human. At least for a little while.
[They can revisit it, down the line. Nothing has to be decided right now.]
( She keeps her hand intertwined with Josie's but rolls on her back so that she's looking at the ceiling. They can settle in and talk witch futures and cute things. )

[She studies Hope's face curiously for a moment.]
Do you want to have kids? Not right now, but ... one day?

( She presses her forehead to Josie's. )
But, you're not scaring me. If that helps.

[Josie is fine with being worried enough about the future for the both of them.]
You don't think it would be weird? If this is forever and I stay human? Eventually I'm going to start looking like your mom rather than your partner.
