Lauren had rolled onto her side and sighed. It had been four long months since Dyson had killed Taft and she had managed to escape from the compound. She couldn't believe how awful things had turned out, things had been starting to look up for her and Bo, they were almost happy, and she was sure that everything would have settled down more now that Bo had successfully completed her Dawning. That was until Tamsin had purposely confessed about the kiss between her and Bo. Lauren new she was doing it out of spite, but she couldn't help but think that the relationship with Bo would have collapsed soon anyway. She always felt like she was never enough for anyone, and incidents like the Tamsin one always proved her right.
When she found out she was pregnant she was startled but over the moon. She would have told Bo as soon as she saw her after finding out until Tamsin. She thought that by going to work for Taft, her and the baby could have a new start with less danger. With Bo feeling free now, she knew Bo wouldn't want to be tied down with a baby, what Succubus does?
Her world felt like it was crumbling for the third time when she saw Dyson in Taft's compound and she realised how wrong she had got him. The only small relief was that he didn't know about the baby, or she would have ended up like the rest of the Fae in the compound: Guinea Pig. She had made amends though, with Dyson when she told him about the plans Taft had and how she could stop it. He never tried to talk her out of it, well not until he was strapped to the table for the first time conscious and she came into the room. He knew straight away something was different with her, his heightened hearing capabilities picking up the second heartbeat almost instantly. When he questioned her about the baby's father, she sighed but explained quickly and as simply as possible about how the baby was Bo's but she felt their situation left her no choice but to leave.
She told him her fears of Bo not wanting her, her fear of Bo always leaving her for him. He didn't speak through her entire speech and when she finished off with how he could finally have Bo back and Bo need never know, his selfishness outweighed his conscience and agreed not to say anything to her, he did want Bo back after all. That was months ago, and now here she was, in a place she never thought she'd see again, in her parents old house that had been left to her since the death of her parents, all alone and five months pregnant. She knew her baby was Fae, and with Bo and Trick's heritage if anyone found out that somehow Bo impregnated Lauren, her and her baby would be hunted. She just wished she wasn't so alone.
