[3rd POV]
"Looks like you owe me ten bucks, love" Lucifer began with a grin on her face, as Alice pouted. The two had bet about who Rose's mate would be, and Lucifer had bet that it was going to be someone in this universe, from this school.
Alice bet that it would be someone from a future universe they travel to.
"Hmph, you probably cheated" Alice replied with a pout, betting that her wife had used her stupidly strong senses to see who Rose's mate was.
"Nope, I'm just as surprised as you are. But I must admit that it's certainly a good choice" Lucifer said with a smirk at her daughter, who blushed brightly in embarrassment, realizing that she had been staring...hard.
"Hmm, definitely worth it" Alice said with a grin of her own, realizing that this was going to be a very fun thing to watch, as her daughter was obviously lovestruck.
And it wasn't in a bad or negative way, as if it was, Lucifer would have done something about it already. But nope, she was leaving it be. Meaning that Hope being their daughter's mate was actually a good thing for her.
She was definitely interested in seeing how that would go in the future.
"How about we go say hi? I know Hayley has been very interested in meeting both of you" Lucifer offered, as Alice nodded, with Rose also nodding but a bit slower, nervous to meet the girl that is obviously her mate.
"Don't worry love, she'll love you, I am certain of it" Lucifer said, noticing her daughters worry. She didn't want her daughter to get all nervous over meeting her mate, as Hope was not the type to hate or dislike her over it.
She'd be a good mate for her daughter, a good girlfriend.
She wondered who her other children were going to be mated to. She already knew for a fact who Vi's was going to be. And she had an idea who Powder's was. But Beatrix and Bloom? She had no clue, but she was certainly curious to find out.
Walking over to Hayley slowly, the woman soon noticed Lucifer approaching, only to blink when she saw Alice and Rose trailing besides her. Hope seeing her mother look away from her, also turned to the people approaching, only to pause when she locked eyes with Rose.
It...it was like everything in life stopped. Like the world around them didn't exist as she breathed in sharply, she hadn't even awoken her werewolf side yet and she could still smell her, the warmth and the scent of roses and flowers.
Had she had her werewolf side unlocked, it would have been going ballistic at the moment, freaking out as it recognized Rose as her mate, the one that was perfect for her.
But instead, she was staring at who she decided was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen in her life, and blushed ever so slightly, ducking her head as Rose did the same.
Hayley glanced at her daughter, raising an eyebrow at the reaction before turning back to Lucifer who was smirking, as she noticed Rose reacting similarly.
Hayley couldn't help but smirk as well as she realized what was happening here.
"So this is your wife?" Hayley said, deciding to let her daughter blush adorably while she met her friends wife for the first time.
"Yep! It's nice to meet you Hayley! I'm Alice Morningstar!" Alice said with a bright smile as she took Hayley's hand into her own, shaking it excitedly. She had been very interested in meeting Hayley, and was happy to finally see the woman for the first time.
"Uh, nice to meet you too, Alice" Hayley said somewhat awkwardly, not used to talking with someone so hyper. As most of the people around her were pretty quiet or stoic. None of them went out of their ways to get friends or anything similar.
"And this is Hope, right?" Lucifer asked, as she looked at Hope who jumped upon hearing her name, turning to Lucifer and blinking, realizing that not only was Rose really attractive, her parents were too.
'Must run in the family' Hope thought. But she didn't think Alice or Lucifer compared to Rose, who she was struggling not to glance back at, as Rose was still staring at her, taking in the sight of her mate happily.
"Yep, come and introduce yourself, honey" Hayley said, as Hope walked forwards.
"Um, hi, I'm Hope Mikaelson, nice to meet you" Hope said, shaking Lucifer's hand and then Alice's.
"Lucifer. And this one is Rose, she'll be going here from now on, and I do believe she is the same age as you too, being 14" Lucifer said, smirking as Hope wasn't much interested in her name, and instead perked up upon hearing that Rose was her age.
"U-Uh H-Hi it's nice to meet you" Rose sputtered, as Hope shook her hand, both of them blushing.
"N-Nice to meet you too" Hope responded, as Hayley and Lucifer watched with grins on their faces.
"I give it three months" Hayley whispered into Lucifer's ear, already seeing how this was going to go.
Lucifer chuckled "I give it a month"
"Alright, I bet 50 on three months" Hayley said, as Lucifer looked back at her and grinned.
"And I'll put 50 on a single month" Lucifer said, as they shook hands while Alice sat on the side, shaking her head in exasperation at what her wife was doing at the moment.
"So, where's this Alaric guy at? He late or something?" Lucifer asked, noticing that Alaric was nowhere to be seen, which was not a good look if he was truly late to the first day of the new year of school.
"Hmm? No he's inside. He's talking with the other new parents, and should be coming out in a little bit. He always takes a while though, likes to talk a lot" Hayley responded, as she remembered that the man tended to talk her ear off.
Mostly because he was overly cautious and always worried, especially when it came to the Mikaelson family, and them getting involved with the school, beyond donating tens of millions to its funding.
Seriously, they basically founded the school through their money, and the school heavily relied on said funding. Not as much as they used to, but if they were to ever stop, it would cause some serious issues for the schools functioning.
Honestly Lucifer wondered why Caroline wasn't back at the school more often. But she understood that she was trying to figure out how to stop the merger between her daughters. She decided she'd be helping with that aspect once they got a bit older, as in, the same age as they were in the "Legacies" tv show.
They already planned on being around until then, so it'll be fine to wait a bit longer.
After talking with Hayley for a few more minutes, while Rose and Hope soon began to chatter with one another (adorably so) Alaric soon came out of the school, with Lucifer looking at the man, one thought on her mind as he approached them.
'...This should be interesting'
