### Status

Father/Daughter, Allies Allies;

**The father-daughter relationship between Christopher Mikaelson and Josie Spellman.**

Though initially uninterested in having a child of his own, Christopher soon changed his mind, not wanting his child to suffer what he had to endure with his own step-father, Theodore.

Because of that, and in spite of the fact that Josephine's blood can be used to sire Hybrids, Christopher has made it clear that he doesn't want to abuse or in any way take advantage of his daughter's existence.

He was forced to send her away to live with her aunt Theresa in order to protect her from those who would try to harm her in order to get revenge on Christopher and his family. Since her aunt's imprisonment in the Fauline Mansion, it is unknown whether Christopher will be able to spend more time with Josephine in the interim.

Christopher and Ariana have decided to work hard to make New Orleans a safe home for Josephine by taking control of all of the various supernatural factions in the city. Once they accomplish this plan, they intend to bring Josephine back to New Orleans to live with her mother and father.

Josephine was living in Alicante with her mother and Jackson, in an apartment across the street from Christopher and the Mikaelson family. She was under the protection of her father.

However, due to events and a brewing war between Marcel Gerard and Christopher, Christopher and the rest of his siblings sacrificed themselves and are currently neutralized. Since Christopher and his siblings are neutralized, Josephine has been separated from her father. Josephine now waits for the day, with her mother, when she will reunite herself with Christopher.

They were separated for five years until Ariana finally woke Alison who cured Alexander, Theresa, Dominic and, together, saved Christopher. Christopher was brought home by his family and, despite initial nervousness on both sides, Josephine and Christopher reunited and shared a lovely, peaceful day together.

Seven years later it is revealed by Christopher that he has not seen Josephine and not spoken to her in five years. They are briefly reunited in New Orleans because of Ariana's disappearance.

## Early History

### Conception

Christopher slept with Ariana Salvatore and conceived their baby daughters Josephine and Wilhelmina. Although, neither were aware that the union will end in a baby - as both know that vampires can't have children.

Christopher, upon learning of Ariana's pregnancy, did not want anything to do with Josephine at first, partially due to the fact that he was in shock because he was under the impression that, as a vampire, he could not procreate. He later changed his mind after he remembered how his step-father, Theodore, condemned him from the day he was born. Christopher did not want to become like Theodore, and he did not want his daughter to have the same upbringing as he did, so he decided to take an active role in her life in order to be a better father than the one he had.

### Before Josephine was born

Sophie Deveraux revealed to Christopher that the Werewolf Ariana was pregnant with his child. He didn't take the news well, and initially believed that it was a plot on the witches' part to force him to join their side in their fight against Marcel's rule of the French Quarter. However, after several conversations with his brother, Alexander, as well as a talk with a new acquaintance, Cami, he ultimately decided to take his future role as a father more seriously, and he and Alexander invited Ariana to live with them at the plantation house for her and her child's protection.

Christopher became furious and choked Ariana upon learning that she had almost attempted to abort their child by ingesting wolfsbane tea, though Theresa eventually pulled him off of her. Despite his violent reaction, it was clear that he did care very much for the child, and he was relieved when he later spoke again with Ariana, who told him that since she also did not have great examples of parents while she was growing up, she wanted to protect her child in ways that she never was.

Ariana decided to keep the baby, much to Christopher' relief.Ariana informed Christopher that she learned from an old trick done by the witch Sabine that the baby was likely going to be a girl, and he smiled at this news.

Christopher became incredibly concerned when Ariana went missing after being taken to an obstetrician by Agnes, the sole remaining Elder of the French Quarter Coven. Fortunately, Ariana was eventually found by Christopher and Rebekah in the woods in the Bayou, and was shown to have healed from all of her wounds as a result of the baby's hybrid blood flowing through her system. At the realization that their baby had healed Ariana, Christopher smiled proudly.
