Characters aren't mine. I've taken the liberties I wanted for the storyline, but the characters belong to Showcase and Lost Girl.

So here's the sequel to It Could Happen. It's not necessary to read that story if you're not interested, but some of the character development that happened might help this one make more sense.

We've got the usual gang, with a twist of course. Again, limited Trick and Hale because…well because. Also, this story will be much more character driven instead of plot driven but there will still be a story to be told there as well.

Lastly, like the previous story this will be CopDoc with shades of Doccubus feels but all Team Lauren.

R&R appreciated. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

"You have got to be shitting me. You?"

Tamsin crossed her arms as she walked into the Police station. It had been a few weeks since the group returned from France and things seemed to settle back to normal pretty quickly. Bo and Kenzi had picked up where they left off and resumed their private investigative work, much to Lauren and Dyson's protest. With the discovery that Bo may be the rightful heir to the 'Fae throne' they wanted her to spend some time figuring out what she was going to do with this newfound information but she refused. Bo had also spent the majority of her time avoiding Trick which was a full time job in and of itself. As much as she had a million questions for him and wanted answers, she didn't trust herself around him right now. He was confused as to why Bo was avoiding him or only interacting with him when the rest of the group was around but he didn't push it. Dyson acted as the liaison for him and Bo and did his best to keep the other party informed of what the other was up to.

Tamsin thought she was going back to her assigned 'human duty' which she was fine with but the Morrigan had other ideas. Apparently the Morrigan had been working with the Ash on some sort of secret Dark/Light project and had informed Tamsin that in addition to the human security detail she had previously been on she now had another task for her. She sent Tamsin to the Police station to start her new human cover as a Detective with the force with instructions to play nice and ensure she doesn't get fired.

"Well isn't this a pleasant surprise."

Tamsin rolled her eyes at Dyson's smug grin. She still didn't totally trust the guy and she wasn't too pleased with his involvement in their adventure in France, especially when she found out he was tied to the jackholes that laid a massive beating on her and Bo. Tamsin sighed as she thought about the events that transpired while they were out of the country. She and Bo hadn't interacted that much since they all returned, especially since Bo had made it clear she didn't approve of her developments with Lauren, but Tamsin wasn't exactly reaching out with a peace offering of her own either. As far as she was concerned she was happy with their agreement to disagree and treat each other as acquaintances. Tamsin knew Dyson had been angling to get back in good with the Succubus but from what she could tell his advances hadn't been successful. She smirked a little at him.

"Gee wish I could say yes…oh wait…no actually I don't."

She sat down at the desk across from him. He rolled his eyes as he threw a manila envelope down in front of her. "Badge, keys, ID card and gun."

Tamsin smirked as she opened the envelope and pulled out the 9mm. She turned it over in her hands and smiled as she looked up at the shifter with a devious smile. "Well at least there some perks of the job."

Dyson nodded. He slid a file across the desk to her and leaned forward as he lowered her voice. "Well sorry but you won't get to play with your new toy right now. We have a case."

Tamsin picked up the file and rolled her eyes. The paperwork detailed a basic homicide that happened two days ago and from what Tamsin could see was all human. She sighed. Maybe this wasn't going to be so fun after all…

At the Dark Fae medical lab

"Thanks for looking these over Lauren."

Lauren looked up at Bo and smiled. She nodded and waived at the files that were spread out on her desk. "Anytime. Guess things aren't so different from when we were with the Light huh?"

Lauren tried to make a joke but Bo frowned. She really didn't like being under the Dark and she sure as shit wasn't going to ever pledge her fealty to that crazy bitch the Morrigan. "No, actually things are very different. I mean, don't you want to get out of here? Get away from all of this?"

Lauren looked at her curiously. "And go where Bo? We've been through this before, I'm here on my terms."

Bo sighed. "Right. Sorry."

Lauren shut the file and handed it back to her with a small smile. "Well the victim was attacked by humans. Based on the lab results and the injuries sustained, there is no Fae involvement here."

Bo held up the file. "Thanks. And Lauren, if you and Tamsin ever want to hang out…er…I mean you know. Maybe we should all get together for dinner or something sometime?"

Lauren raised her eyebrows. She knew Bo wasn't happy about her growing relationship with the Valkyrie but she was happy that Bo was making the effort. Tamsin on the other hand was a different story and the tall blonde barely made an effort with Bo when they were all in the same proximity. She seemed to take a liking to Kenzi though, probably because they both shared a love for video games and stupid movies and both were armed with wit and a passion for alcohol, but with Bo she could tell it was a strained effort.

Lauren nodded at Bo with a smile. "That would be nice."

Bo nodded. She turned to leave the lab and was passed by Tamsin who was walking in to see the Doctor. The two Fae gave each other a sideward glance and a curt nod but didn't say anything to each other as they passed. Tamsin glanced over her shoulder once more at Bo's retreating form as she walked up to the human and put her hands on her lover's hips.

"What's up Doc?"

Lauren smiled and leaned up as the Valkyrie leaned in for a quick hello kiss. Tamsin remained behind Lauren where she was standing at the counter looking at a few files and massaged Lauren's lower back gently.

"Mmm that feels nice. What's the occasion?"

Tamsin smiled. "Can't I just do something nice?"

Lauren turned to her with a raised eyebrow. "You could if I didn't know that you've been avoiding getting your yearly physical. Sit."

Tamsin pouted and sat down on the bed that Lauren pointed at. She gave the blonde a grumpy look as she sat there with her arms folded over her chest. Lauren smiled at the Valkyrie as she took her blood pressure and pulse. She then had Tamsin do a basic reflex test, which almost ended with Lauren getting punched in the face on accident, and finally moved on to take blood from the taller woman.

"So what did the Morrigan want this morning?"

Tamsin shrugged. "New assignment. Guess I'm gonna be playing Detective now."

Lauren looked up. "Oh? So are you still going to…"

Lauren bit her lip as she wasn't quite sure how to ask the question. As much as she'd enjoyed the past few weeks, she honestly wondered if Tamsin hung around so much because of the security detail she'd been on. Lauren couldn't help but feel a small part of what she imagined Bo felt like when she felt during the spybang incident a few years ago. Lauren sighed and looked down as Tamsin reached out with her free hand and lifted Lauren's chin gently to bring the Doctor's gaze to her own.

"You know it didn't matter right? I mean, that's not why I…you know."

Lauren nodded. She understood what Tamsin was saying and she knew the Valkyrie had a hard time voicing her feelings, but sometimes Lauren wished she would. She pulled the needle out of Tamsin's arm and pressed a cotton ball over the needlemark.

"Okay all done."

Lauren turned away from Tamsin but she was stopped when the Valkyrie reached out and grabbed her hand gently to hold her in place. "Hey, Doc…come on."

Tamsin tugged on Lauren's hand and brought the human back into her personal space. She didn't know why Lauren had gotten spooked but she didn't like it. Tamsin wrapped her arms around Lauren's waist. "Look, I'm not sure exactly what happened here but I thought you'd be happy. You've been telling me to, and I quote, do something productive with all the time I'm wasting while you're at work, so now I am. And, the best part, after I spend all day catching bad guys I get to come back to you."

Tamsin gave Lauren a nose crinkling smile which made Lauren laugh in return. She couldn't believe Tamsin was being so cheesy, and open with her feelings, and she nodded as she wrapped her arms around Tamsin's neck and leaned in to kiss her sweetly. Tamsin smiled into the kiss and leaned back after a few seconds as she pushed Lauren's hair behind her ear gently.

"Oh and the best part, guess who my partner is."

"Who?"

"Dyson."

"Really? Interesting. That going to be a problem for you?"

Tamsin shook her head no. "Nah, he's a dumbass and kind of annoying but I can handle it. Besides, it'll make for great stories to laugh over. And, to answer your original question, don't worry, you'll always be under my protection Lauren. Morrigan's orders or not."

Lauren smiled and Tamsin gave her a weird look. "What?"

"Nothing. Okay, well Detective how about we celebrate with dinner at the Dahl tonight?"

Tamsin nodded. "Sure."

Lauren gave her a sidewards glance. "And you're okay if I invite Bo and Kenzi and Dyson and Hale?"

Tamsin rolled her eyes at Lauren's hopeful look. "Really?"

Lauren nodded. "It would be fun. And besides, if you are working with Dyson now you should get to know him better."

Tamsin stood up and shook her head. "I don't really care to get to know him. All I need to know is if he is a good cop or not."

Lauren raised an eye. "Tamsin…"

Tamsin groaned. "Ugh…fine. Whatever."

Lauren clapped her hands in appreciation and pulled out her phone sending Bo and Kenzi a quick text to let them know. Tamsin laughed at Lauren's happy behavior and Lauren grinned goofily at her. Tamsin rolled her eyes as Lauren gathered up her things so they could stop at Lauren's loft before they headed to dinner. She didn't really want to hang out with the sunshine gang but since it seemed to make Lauren happy she would gladly put up with a hundred dinners. 'I'm such a wuss' thought Tamsin as she followed Lauren out of the lab. She shook her head. She was getting soft and if she really thought about it, she kinda liked it.

So the next journey begins for our little group here. I have a few ideas I'm playing around with already for some character development but it's turning out to be tougher than I thought to get this story going. Like the previous story, the first few chapters is mostly set up but hopefully this will be a bit easier the second time around. Let me know what you thought and thanks for reading!
