AN: I know I already have one Originals Saving Hope crossover, but I kinds of started this as a free write and decided that I was going to make it into something else. I hope everyone likes this one.

Sixteen Years Earlier…

A man rushed through a maze-like graveyard, hearing the pain filled cries of his wife. She had called him, hysterical earlier in the day about someone trying to hurt their child. Her mother, who was a witch tried to stop them, but they knocked her out.

"Eva!" His New Zealand voice cried as he rounded the corner. "JOEL!" She screamed as he followed the sound of her voice.

When he reached her, he found her in full blown labor, covered in blood. His heart and stomach dropped as she pulled up a beautiful baby girl. He rushed over, taking off his jacket and wrapping her in it. His wife leaned against him, exhausted as she bled out.

"They wanted me to do something…something I could not." She breathed as he cleared the baby's mouth as she let out her first cry, "They wanted our baby." "Its alright…what about you?" He asked, making her look at him sadly. "Joel…we both know that I'm already dead." Eva whispered, her green eyes full of tears, "She is perfect." "She is…I can't lose you." Joel said, making her smile. "You won't…you'll always have me…in her." Eva smiled.

The young med student watched his wife set their daughter to her breast for the first and last time with a bittersweet smile. He held her in her arms as her mother rushed over with some of the others in the coven. Eva slowly slipped from consciousness as her heart stopped beating from lack of blood. Joel felt her breathing stop as their daughter went to sleep, peaceful in his grasp.

He looked up at his mother in law as he stood with the baby. She took her from his arms with a sad smile. The babe was a perfect combination of the two of them.

"What were you going to name her?" Miranda asked. "Tiana, Tiana Grace Goran." He replied. "Our little princess…what are you going to do Joel…Eva would want you to finish school." Miranda asked. "I know…but I cannot leave her behind." Joel sighed. "How about we keep her while you're in school and when you're not, she stays with you…and when you get a job as a surgeon, we worry about things then." Miranda smiled. "Okay…what about Eva…we can't leave her like that?" He asked. "Let us handle her…Jonathan is home, come with me and we'll get you cleaned up and Tiana settled." She said, making him sigh, agreeing to the plan.

A few months later, Joel smiled brightly at his baby girl as she took her first wobbly step towards him. He was going back to med school and his in laws brought her up to see him before classes started back. He laughed softly as she gave him a wet baby kiss on the face.

"Hello Princess." Joel smiled as she snuggled into his arms. "She knows your voice." Miranda smiled. "Thank you for calling every night." He said. "No problem…should we expect you for Christmas?" She smiled. "Of course, there is a bistro up the street if you're hungry." He said.

"Of course, what made you choose Harvard?" Jonathan asked. "I wanted to be close to Tiana, but still be at a good school." Joel replied. "It's a good choice, we'll likely be in Washington by then…I won the state's election for the house." Jonathan said. "Congrats…that will be perfect…what do I get her then?" Joel asked. "I'll send you idea…clothing will likely be the best…as you can see, she's a girly girl." Miranda chuckled. "Something tells me that will only be half of her…if she is anything like me, we'll have to keep her away form the bayou." Joel teased. "Lord help us if she does." Jonathan sighed, thinking of his daughter when she was in her teens.

Now…

"I wish you could come with me." The teen's soft Cajun accent sighed as she zipped her suitcases. "I know, but my mom wants me to do this harvest thing." Her friend replied. "Weird…but I get to see my dad…I'm so excited." She said.

Tiana sat on her suitcase as she forced it shut as her grandfather poked his head into the room. The older man chuckled as she eyed him for a moment before going back to her friend on the phone. Davina heard him and listened to the frustrated grunt from her friend.

"What was that?" Davina asked. "Me trying to close my suitcase." Tiana replied, making her laugh. "How much are you packing?" Davina asked. "Enough for a month plus my bibs." Tiana replied. "How you tolerate that cold stuff I will never know." She laughed.

Two days later, Tiana stood with her class as they boarded the fairy that would carry them around the area. She eyed the approaching storm clouds with concern as she put on her life vest.

"What's a matter Goran, afraid of storms?" TJ, one her classmates teased. "No…just rather not be on a dinky boat when that storms comes in." Tiana replied. "Oh, come on, we both know the Pontchartrain has worse ones on her when we're out there." He said. "But we are not stupid enough to stay out very long…we're still three hours from Toronto." Tiana sighed.

An hour later, the whole class watched as giant waves hit the boat, causing everyone to fall over. Tiana reached out for her best friend, Anna as one of the windows finally broke. She looked at her as students began to get sucked out from the force of the water.

"Okay…listen to me. We're going to get pulled out…I need you to trust me and not panic." Tiana said, fixing her friend's life vest as another wave hit them. "Tia, I'm scared." Anna told her. "So am I." Tiana replied.

Seconds later, all hell broke loose as the biggest wave yet hit her side of the boat and caused it to capsize. She heard Anna's scream get muffled by the water as they were separated by the force of things. Two large tables hit her, on the stomach and one on the lower part of her leg. Tiana did not even feel the pain as she swam over to Anna, who was still. She just prayed that she could get her to shore and breathing again.

As she resurfaced, she could hear the screams of panic and fear from her classmates all around her. She tried not to listen as she held Anna against her. She just wanted her daddy and to be away from the hellish lake.
