Alaric, Caroline, Josie and Lizzie

This is the family relationship between the former-Enhanced Original Vampire-turned-human, Alaric Saltzman, the vampire Caroline Forbes, the siphoner, Josie and the siphoner-turned-vampire-witch hybrid, Lizzie Saltzman.
They became a family when it was discovered Caroline was pregnant, as a surrogate mother, to Alaric and his deceased fiancée's (Jo Laughlin) twin daughters. Caroline decided to keep the babies and gave birth to them in This Woman's Work. Caroline then decides to help Alaric raise the babies after he tells her that he plans on taking them out of Mystic Falls. Caroline and Alaric become engaged throughout the three years of helping each other raise the children, which strengthened their family bond as the twins grew older. Alaric and Caroline continue to raise the twins even though their engagement fell through.
During Season Eight, Alaric and Caroline continue to raise their daughters together despite their broken-off engagement. However, due to Damon's influence under Sybil's mind control, the girls are put in danger once again. Once Sybil is put down however, Kai Parker returns and puts their daughters' lives in danger for the second time in their lives. Once everything is resolved after this season and after Stefan's death, Alaric and Caroline turn the Salvatore Boarding House into a school for supernatural youngsters in which their daughters grow up in and attend.
In Season One of Legacies, Alaric primarily interacts with Lizzie and Josie since Caroline is away and recruiting new supernaturals to the boarding school. Josie and Lizzie can only rely on their father for the time being, but this proves to be difficult for the twins due to Alaric's status as Headmaster of the school while also training and mentoring their classmate, Hope Mikaelson. However, Alaric tries to be there for his daughters in anyway he can.
