A/N: Okay so I am writing one Doccubus story and this one kept popping into my head. I figured what the hell and went with it. Many people write Valkubus but being a huge Team Lauren fan I thought I would put a different twist to the triangle. Let me know what you guys think, good and bad reviews, I consider all the ones I read.

disclaimer...I own nothing it all belongs to showcase

Lauren sat on her sofa the tears were still running down her face from the conversation she just had. She barely could look at the spot that Bo was just sitting in. Her greatest fear had come true. She wasn't completely surprised. The look Bo had on her face yesterday when she came back from her Dawning said it all. Bo was willing to kill her and possibly Kenzi to save him. The way she leaned over him when he came back to life told Lauren all she needed to know. Glancing at the clock she realized she had been sitting there crying for over an hour.

She decided to get some air. Grabbing her leather jacket she headed out the door. She didn't even know how she ended up at the Dal but she was glad she did. Lauren slipped in standing in the corner scanning the bar making sure no one she knew was there. Confident the coast was clear she headed to a stool at the bar. She wasn't sure where Trick was at the moment. Relief flooded over her knowing she wouldn't have to see Bo's grandfather.

She asked the fae who was watching the bar for Trick to give her something strong. The drink was potent but it didn't stop her from finishing it or from ordering another one. Tonight she didn't care she just didn't want to feel the pain she was feeling anymore. Her gut instinct told her Bo only wanted her because Dyson was no longer an option his love was gone. Somehow he got it back the Kitsune told her but she wanted to believe it was a lie.

"Hope you don't have patients tomorrow doc," the Valkyrie walked in the Dal and spotted the human doctor drinking alone. She heard the news from Dyson already and decided to go drink alone never expecting the geeky doctor to be there.

Lauren stiffened at the sound her voice. One of the last people she wanted to see was Tamsin. Earlier that day Tamsin told her about the kiss that happened between her and Bo. She snorted a little at the thought, funny how she thought it was going to be her problem, now it was Dyson's. Tamsin sat on the bar stool next to her. The Valkyrie noticed the cuts on the doctor's face, "Did you try to fight her?" She took the drink from Lauren's hand taking a sip before giving it back to her and ordering one for herself. "I heard about the whole Dyson thing. I'm with you doc, don't get what she sees in the big bad wolf."

The doctor was trying her best to ignore Tamsin. She had a bad enough night and it just kept getting better. First a human boy kicks her ass, than she thinks Bo comes to her rescue only to see something different in her warm chocolate eyes. She kept asking Bo to tell her what it was but the brunette tried to be polite telling her it could wait till she was better. At that point Lauren knew and she insisted Bo just tell her and not pity the fragile human. She cried as she told Lauren. The succubus explained how at the Dawning Dyson told her he had his love back and when she thought she was going to lose him she knew she had to give it another chance. Now the blonde was sitting here with the Valkyrie.

Tamsin swiveled in her bar stool as she got her drink so she could face the doctor. "Is this about me telling you the whole kiss thing?"

Lauren didn't turn and face her but spoke to her as she looked down at her drink. "No, I was upset but it's not your fault. It's mine actually. I'm a doctor. A scientist, I knew, I knew the chance of a human and a succubus working was futile but I jumped into it anyway. I wanted to believe that science was wrong and love could win." The blonde laughed to herself as she gulped her drink.

Tamsin watched her and sort of felt bad for her. This group was somehow growing on her and her tough exterior lowered every so often. Bo even got to the Valkyrie. She had no idea why she kissed her. Obviously Bo was sexy and attractive but still didn't explain the spontaneous kiss. In no way did she want to be a part of the messy triangle that Bo was in. Although now it was obvious there was no more triangle. "This is where I tell you it wasn't you it was her or some shit like that." Seeing the glare Lauren shot at her Tamsin rolled her eyes, "Look doc I'm not good at this kind of thing. I'm sort of a loner."

This caused the blonde to swivel her chair to face the Valkyrie. Lifting the glass to her lips she smirked; "Now we have something in common because I usually work alone."

"You want my advice," when Lauren only glanced at her while finishing her drink Tamsin continued, "The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else."

The doctor put her glass back on the bar ordering another one. She turned her head to the blonde next to her, "Did you ever take psychology? That is terrible advice. You can't just forget your feelings by jumping into bed with another person."

The older blonde followed the human doctor ordering another drink. "Who said feelings? I said get under someone else. An orgasm is a good motivator feels better then crying."

Lauren had her elbows on the bar as she leaned into her arms. "There was so many things wrong with that sentence." Getting her other drink she glanced at the fae beside her. "And I'm no longer mad about Bo kissing you. It's who she is. I was just the fool."

Tamsin put her hand on the human's upper thigh. She was a little surprised at the muscle she felt in her leg. The dark fae thought she looked skinny and weak to feel muscle definition was a pleasant surprise. "No you got it wrong, I kissed Bo, and I don't know why." The Valkyrie half laughed.

It was Lauren's turn to mimic the fae. "Oh it's not you it's her. Everyone ends up wanting Bo, it's just who she is."

Tamsin wasn't sure if it was the liquor or her suddenly likeness of this weird group that kept her talking to the doctor. She wasn't like ordinary humans. This human was smart and full of all fae knowledge and oddly attractive for a human. Patting her leg Tamsin slid off the bar stool, "Come on let's play a few rounds. Or do you repel any kind of fun."

"Not any kind of fun," the words came out of Lauren's mouth before she had time to stop them. She knew it must be the liquor. It was not like her to say things like that. Sudden outburst yes but flirting with the person that she not so long ago almost hated was an unusual occurrence.

The words shocked the older fae and not many things shocked her. Never would she imagine Lauren saying things like that. It definitely had to be the liquor and she had to comment on it. "Kind of digging the outside of work Lauren, not so stuffy and boring," she smirked as she walked to the pool table.

Lauren walked up behind her placing her hand on Tamsin's bare skinned back. The way her red shirt hung so low in the back it was almost impossible to not touch skin. The doctor leaned over her as she picked out a cue. "You never saw me out of work." Right now she didn't care if she was flirting or not. As long as she wasn't thinking about Bo and him she felt okay.

Trick walked out of his private chambers and thanked his friend for watching the bar for him. He casually scanned the bar stopping as his eyes landed on the two unlikely blondes. Trick knew that Bo went back to Dyson as his old friend had told him he got his mate back. He was happy for Dyson but felt sorry for the other human in Bo's life that he came to love. Watching her now drinking and laughing with the Valkyrie was a sight the Blood King would have bet money on that he would never have seen. He actually turned around as he rubbed his eyes making sure he wasn't hallucinating from the extra stress he had to endure during Bo's Dawning. His eyes weren't deceiving him the two blondes were there laughing and drinking. As he cleaned glasses and put them away he couldn't help but think how Bo was going to react to this new friendship.

"Yo Blood King I need two more of these drinks," Tamsin put the glasses on the bar. One had a little left in it. Trick brought it to his nose and took a deep sniff, he recognized the concoction immediately. It was one his friend loved to make when a customer asked for a strong drink. He started making the two as he asked the Valkyrie, "How many did Lauren have of these?"

"Don't worry I will get her home safe. She's still standing," Tamsin took the two drinks and headed back to the human. She couldn't believe that she was actually enjoying her company. It felt nice to not worry about any of her problems right now and to know there was someone else who had problems as well. Her partner was back at his old/new girlfriends place so they could reconnect. As she walked towards Lauren she noticed how attractive she was. Maybe it was the way she was bending over the pool table. It possibly could be the odd connections the two had.

CRACK SHACK

Bo was in bed next to Dyson. He was already fast asleep but she couldn't sleep. She was happy he got his love back. It was a complete shock to her. When she came home with him Kenzi told her how she went to the Norn and got his love back. Bo felt almost compelled to go back to Dyson. They never got a real chance he lost his love before they could. Knowing he had it back she had to see, she had to know, but she hated hurting Lauren. Seeing the pain in her eyes broke Bo's heart.

This time around it felt different with Dyson. It felt different when she used him to heal when Lauren wasn't enough. Being with him knowing his love was back she was expecting to feel that old connection. The two always had heat, passion and desire but she didn't feel it at least not like she used to. She quietly slipped out of bed making sure not to wake him. Walking down stairs she saw Kenzi passed out on the couch with her hand around a now empty bottle of liquor. She poured a glass of water slowly drinking it she knew she had to give it time. It was foolish to think they'd get back together again and it would just start where it left off. Originally it took time to get there and now it was going to take time to get back there. She just hoped that Lauren would forgive her in time because no matter what she wanted the doctor in her life.

THE NEXT DAY – LAUREN'S PLACE

Lauren tossed and turned all night as flashes of her and Tamsin played through her mind. Kissing, touching, clothes being torn, moaning, groaning, and a lot of it repeatedly. Her alarm blared next to her without opening her eyes she tried to hit the snore button. No luck as the alarm continued to blare giving up she felt the cord and pulled it out of the socket. She went to open her eyes and the migraine hit her instantly. "Ugh," she groaned as she threw the sheets off of her body. Her eyes shot wide open as her very naked state just hit her. Closing her eyes she rubbed her head, what happened to her clothes. Keeping the sheet just above her chest she sat up.

It hurt to open her eyes all the way or to even think. There was a glass of water on her nightstand with two aspirin next to it. She didn't remember doing that before bed but was glad to see it as she took the pills. Realizing she had no need to worry about being naked she stepped away from the bed into her bathroom grabbing a robe. She loosely tied at as she walked down the stairs in dire need of coffee.

"Morning Doc," the dark fae was standing by her counter with coffee and donuts. "Did a morning run for ya."

Lauren nearly fell down the stairs. Putting her hand over her heart as the shock of seeing the Valkyrie in her kitchen almost gave her a heart attack. "Tamsin what are you doing here," she questioned as she continued her descent down the stairs.

She smiled at the human, "I'm not the love 'em and leave 'em type of gal. Speaking of which doc I never took you for the dominating type." She walked past Lauren towards the door, "You're full of all kinds of surprises. I like it." Tamsin stopped by the door watching Lauren's facial expressions. The older fae finally realized what Bo saw in this human. Not only was the good doctor beautiful and incredible intelligent but she was also a tiger in the bedroom.

Realization was hitting Lauren that all those things she thought she dreamed last night was no dream. She did them, all of them with Tamsin. She sort of fell into her chair by her counter, this is why she didn't drink the affects it has on the brain chemistry by altering levels of neurotransmitters. The affect it had on her celebral cortex was clearly evident in her unprecedented actions. "We, uh, did we…" she couldn't even finish the statement.

"Yeah we did several times actually. Not much of a bottom are you? Not judging, kind of liked it." She went to open the door before she turned back around, "Tonight at 7 I will bring dinner." Seeing the shock on the doctor's face Tamsin rolled her eyes, "Relax doc, I'm not proposing but my partner is busy screwing your ex and I still have a shit load of cases with missing fae. Maybe we can put our brains together and you can help me solve this little mystery. Least I can do is buy you dinner," she winked at the sexy blonde.

Lauren was still in shock that her dreams weren't dreams at all. Tamsin of course pointed out what Bo would be doing tonight as if she needed to. Lauren was quite aware of Bo's sexual appetite. Suddenly it made last night not as bad as it seemed. She had sex with Tamsin, who was actually attractive. Bo was surely doing the same with Dyson. It wasn't like she was in a relationship it was a one night onetime thing that she had no reason to feel bad for. As much as she wished she could change it her feelings for Bo haven't changed. She still loved her with all her heart and what she did last night she did from hurt, loneliness, pain and drinking. "Sounds good Tamsin, and you can call me Lauren," she realized the dark fae was waiting for an answer.

"Whatever," and she walked out the door letting it close behind her.

Two minutes later there was a knock on the door. She called out that it was open and watched as Hale walked in. "Did Tamsin just leave here?" He saw the look on Lauren's face that he couldn't read. "Did she do something to you because I will call the Morrigan?"

The doctor snapped out of her thoughts, "No, she, no, it was just…" she couldn't think of a lie fast enough as Hale put two and two together. He looked back towards the door then back to Lauren, "No, you and Tamsin, no. You know what I don't want to know it's none of my business. I just came here to tell you that the new compound is finished doc. You get a lab back."

This put a half smile on Lauren's face having a lab back would be good. The more things she had to do the less she would think of Bo. That is what she needed to do. She had to let Bo go she just didn't know how although apparently drunken Lauren did. "Sorry Hale that is great news when would you like me to go back to work?"

"You can start tomorrow if it isn't too much. I heard about Bo." Looking back towards the door, "Although maybe that isn't an issue," the last person he expected Lauren to hook up with would be Tamsin. He wasn't even sure he fully trusted her, "Careful with her Lauren."

"No we aren't together. I don't even really remember how it happened. I'm just a mess Hale." The doctor let the tears fall down her face. She did enough crying last night and went to the Dal to stop the tears and now here she was crying again. Lauren didn't even notice Hale walk over till she felt his arms pull her into a hug. "I still love her Hale even though she picked Dyson." Hale just held her he didn't know what to say. All three were his friends while he was happy for Dyson he felt bad for Lauren. He just hoped Bo was done bouncing back and forth. Although he loved the succubus she had a knack for being indecisive.

It took her about ten minutes to pull herself together. She thanked Hale for coming by and telling her in person. He smiled letting her know it was the other human in his life that knocked some sense into him. He told Lauren he was going to be seeing Kenzi later at his new office in the compound and finally tell her how he truly felt. Hale explained to the doctor how he pushed the human out of his life and needed to make it up to her. Lauren was happy for him; he became the Ash and was going for the person that meant something to him.

After Hale left she came to the conclusion that she had to follow his advice. She needed to try and start getting over Bo. There was no point in loving someone that was never going to love you back. She grabbed a donut and coffee as she headed back upstairs. A cold shower would feel good on her throbbing head.

POLICE STATION

Dyson was standing by his desk looking over a case. He stiffened as he caught Lauren's scent. "Lauren I am glad you stopped by," he started saying as Tamsin walked into view.

"Sorry wrong blonde," she put her coffee on her desk as she plopped into her chair yawning.

"I smell Lauren's scent it is all over you," Dyson grew concerned. He felt bad about what happened with Bo. He knew what it was like losing her. The shifter definitely didn't want any harm coming upon her. Dyson came around the desk when it hit him. The scent was Lauren's it was also of sweat and sex. He stopped in his tracks, "Oh shit."

The Valkyrie smirked as she lifted her eyebrows, "Figure it out there detective. Really earning your title. I didn't have time to shower when I left her apartment this morning." She sipped her coffee. "I need some of those missing fae files. I am going to the docs tonight to go over cases."

He got some of the files as he handed them to the Valkyrie. "Tamsin do me a favor and don't mention this to Bo. The break up is still fresh and Lauren means a lot to her and you, well you are you."

She snatched the folders out of his hand, "What is that supposed to mean? Least I wouldn't need to sleep with other people." Tamsin ignored the low growl that escaped from her partner.

"It means she is human and fragile. Try not to take advantage," Dyson felt slightly protective of Lauren in this moment. He knew she was hurting and maybe taking some comfort where she shouldn't.

Tamsin lifted an eyebrow at the shifter. "Fragile huh you should see her in bed. Not such the sweet nerdy fragile doctor. You know maybe it is her understanding in biology." She leaned back in her chair contemplating this in her head. There had to be a reason that a human was that good in bed.

Dyson couldn't believe this was real it almost felt like an alternative reality. "Whatever, just don't say anything to Bo."

"Say what to me," Bo asked as she walked next to the shifter with Kenzi at her side.
