There they were. Dyson and Bo. Strolling into the Dal as husband and wife. Bo could not remember the ceremony but knew they must be married by the rings on their hands. Both beaming and Dyson walked with an almost pompous strut.
"Hello Trick! Smiled Dyson. A glass of wine for my wife and a shot of whiskey for me. We're celebrating", he said. Bo cuddled up to Dyson. She was so happy on this day.
Lauren admittedly was a workaholic. Whatever should be questioned, she questioned it. Science was her first love and had always been her fallback for most of her adult life. She put her whole heart into her work. She had to work to keep her mind off of Bo. Lauren was no longer officially with the Light Fae but found plenty to do in private practice. The only non science related fun she found was her exploits at the Dal for drinks. When this particular day was over she headed there like it was a normal night.
She had gone in and heard "Congratulations to Bo and Dyson on your marriage", Trick announced.
Lauren was shocked but sucked up her hurt. She approached Dyson first and then she turned to Bo and extended her hand. "Congratulations" she said. She stood stunned as the handshake she had just shared with Bo was electric.
"I'm sorry I-, I don't know what that was", said Lauren".
"It's ok, it shocked me too", said Bo".
"Trick a bottle of your best wine for the newlyweds", said Lauren.
"How's your private practice going Lauren? Trick asked.
"It's going well. Thank you Trick", She smiled.
"Ummm who was that? Asked Bo.
"That's Dr. Lauren Lewis", said Trick
"She's beautiful", said Bo
Lauren had ordered her drink and found a booth where she could be alone with her liquor, her thoughts and a few books on the Fae. Trick was kind enough to allow her to browse through his books. Once Dyson and Bo said their goodbyes for the night Trick had come over to check on Lauren to see if she needed anything else.
"Just another glass of wine and that will be all", she said.
Dyson and Bo had arrived home. Bo asked him how much he knew about Dr Lewis.
She's a bit dull but a damn good doctor ", Said Dyson
"Is that all you know?
"Pretty much, I don't keep up with her personal life", said Dyson.
"She seems familiar", said Bo.
"Let's enjoy the rest of our night", said Dyson.
The next morning after Dyson had gone to work at the Police station, Bo decided to drop by the Dal to talk to Trick.
"Good morning Trick. What else can you tell me about Dr. Lewis?
"Good morning Bo. Not sure what else I can tell you. She was one of the Light Fae's top doctors. She pretty much keeps to herself. She comes in here quite a bit at night.
"Ok maybe I can catch up to her one night then", said Bo.
Weeks had gone by and Bo had not encountered Lauren again. She and Dyson had not been married all that long and the blonde seemed awfully familiar to Bo and she just had to know why. So she asked Trick where Lauren's office was. He gave her the address and name of the clinic. She had gone one day but Lauren had left early.
Bo went on to focus on her cases with Kenzi. The work seemed to grow steady over the next month.
"Lots of freaks out there Bobo and they mostly come out at night", said Kenzi.
"If it pays the bills, the more freaks the merrier", laughed Bo.
One night they found their client heavily wounded and took her to Lauren's clinic. Lauren was writing some notes from her last patient and stopped immediately to treat the Fae. The more she moved around the more her scent started to get to Bo.
"That is familiar too. What is it about this doctor? She asked herself.
"Bo?
"Bo? Lauren called out to Bo again.
"Umm Yes, sorry what is it?
"I said the patient is fine, you can take her home now".
"Ohhh. It's a client of mine, I have no idea where her home is", Bo laughed.
"No problem we can GPS her address Bobo", said Kenzi.
"Ok well... The patient is cleared to go", said Lauren.
"Thank you very much Lauren. Sorry we came in so late", said Bo.
"It's ok I am always happy to help no matter what time it is", said Lauren.
A week later Bo finally caught Lauren at the Dal. She was sitting in the far booth with papers all over the table sipping on wine. Bo walked over trying to think of a reason to talk to her.
"God she's beautiful sitting there, even like that", Bo thought.
"Dr. Lewis?
"Oh hey Bo, please call me Lauren", she smiled.
"I just wanted to say thank you again for treating my client the other night", said Bo.
"Think nothing of it Bo, being a doctor is my life, as you can see from these papers I have sprawled on the table", she laughed.
"Her laugh. Wow", said Bo.
"Is there something else Bo?
"Well actually I am wondering why you seem so familiar to me", said Bo.
Bo knew Lauren but Lauren thought it best not to force her to remember the love they once shared.
"We know each other Bo, we are old friends", said Lauren
"Oh ok, sorry I didn't remember that", said Bo.
"No worries", lied Lauren. She was still in love with Bo but respected her marriage.
Bo had a dinner date with Dyson and excused herself. They had dinner and went home for drinks. Dyson wanted dessert too but Bo declined. Bo had been awfully distant from him since that night at the Dal when Lauren bought them a bottle of wine. He did his best to take Bo out as much as he could.
"Dyson so you really don't know much more about Lauren? She asked him.
"Um no Bo I don't sorry", he said almost annoyed while kissing on her neck.
"Ok. Goodnight", she said crawling into bed.
A few months passed and Bo and Lauren had rarely seen each other unless it was about a case. But there weren't too many critically wounded that Lauren couldn't treat and send home to rest. Bo wanted longer time with the hot doctor but kept running out of excuses to see her. Kenzi wondered why Bo was so intent on screwing up her happy marriage by chasing Lauren.
"I'm happy Kenzi. I just want to know what it is about Lauren that seems so familiar", she told her.
"What the hell is up with Bo? Why don't she remember hotpants? Kenzi wondered but thought Bo was playing around.
Bo wondered why Dyson hadn't mentioned it. Maybe he didn't know Lauren like he said he did. The not knowing was driving her crazy. She could ask Lauren but that would seem odd, since she didn't remember their relationship.
Bo found it infuriating that everyone knew about her and Lauren but she didn't. She would finally start seeking real answers.
"Dyson?
"Yes I will be right over", he said into his phone.
"Bo. I have to go. I have a client to see", he said.
Bo noticed Dyson had gone on these calls out of the blue a lot and the more he did the later he came home. She started to wonder if he was not as happy in their marriage as she was. Yes things had been strained but she knew she loved Dyson but still had an empty feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"Bobo?
"What's up Kenzi?
"We have a new client, can you be ready in 10?
"Where are you ?
"I'm ten minutes from the crack shack", said Kenzi
"I'll be good to go when you get here", said Bo.
Kenzi had moved out shortly after Bo and Dyson married. She didn't mind hearing Bo's exploits when she was single but night after night of Bo's times with the wolf was hurting her ears.
"What's the new case Kenzi? Bo asked getting into Kenzi's car.
"I lied Bobo. There is no case. I figured you could use a girl's night out and I found this new club", said Kenzi.
"New? You always preferred the Dal for free drinks", Bo laughed.
"Oh I have fat pockets tonight. Thanks to all of our cases", said Kenzi.
The club's name was Encounters. The floor was filled with dancers and servers trying to serve them. Kenzi looked around for a table for them but found nothing.
"Guess we can stand at the bar Bobo", said Kenzi.
"It's so loud in here Kenzi, I didn't hear a word you said", said Bo covering her ears.
Kenzi spotted Lauren dancing.
"Damn how did hotpants find this bar? Kenzi laughed.
Bo was not all interested in dancing and had ordered a double shot of Tequila.
"Wait for me", said Kenzi downing two shots of her own.
"Kenzi you can't hang with me and you know this", laughed Bo.
Bo finally noticed Lauren dancing with a hot brunette.
"There's Lauren", Bo shouted.
"Ohhh balls", said Kenzi.
"She's a damn good dancer", said Bo.
"Easy Bobo, you're married remember? Laughed Kenzi.
"All I said was I like her dancing", said Bo ordering another shot.
Lauren and her date were walking towards them. They were heading out as Lauren had to work the next morning.
"Kenzi, Bo", Lauren waved.
"Hi Doc, bye Doc", Kenzi said.
Bo got another whiff of Lauren's perfume and still found it familiar. She watched Lauren walk out until she vanished out of sight.
"That's it. I have to find out", Bo whispered to herself.
The next morning Bo was surprised Dyson had went out and gotten them some breakfast. He was doing that quite often. The same food every time. Pancakes, sausage and orange juice. He would watch her drink her orange juice before he touched his. Bo was starting to grow tired of that same breakfast and asked him to stop buying it.
"Ok just wanted to make sure you actually ate and not just fed off of chi", Dyson half smiled.
"And I appreciate it", said Bo gently touching his hand.
Another month went by and Bo noticed Dyson was going out more and more. He never announced where he was going though. Bo had started to develop recurring headaches. For a succubus they were painful. She thought nothing of them until she started blacking out. Kenzi found her one night in the Camaro. She was passed out with the driver door open.
"Bobo are you ok?
"Kenzi?
"Why in the hellz are you out here Bo?
"I don't know. I only remember dropping you off at home", said Bo.
"Let's get you in the house. I tried calling and when you didn't answer I came over", said Kenzi.
"Thanks Kenzi", she said.
"No problem but where is Dyson?
"I don't know he's been vanishing a lot lately and coming home at odd hours", said Bo.
"You need to talk to him Bo, sounds fishy to me", said Kenzi.
"I will", said Bo.
"I can stay until he gets here if you want", Kenzi said.
"No it's ok I'm in the house. You can go home Kenzi".
"Ok but if I call you again and you don't answer I'm taking you to Lauren", Kenzi said
The next night Bo was attacked in the alley outside of the Dal. Kenzi had called her and she didn't answer again. Kenzi knew she had been there to meet with Trick and called him before she called Bo again. Trick ran out and got help to carry Bo back in.
"Bo what happened? Asked Trick.
"I don't remember", said Bo.
"Well we need to get you home", he said.
Trick called Dyson to come and pick her up. Dyson rushed to the Dal and took his wife home. He helped her heal and tucked her in bed. He went out and got breakfast for them again but this time it was omelets, sausage and orange juice.
Bo was glad for the food but still felt like crap. Dyson checked on her before he went into work.
"I'll be fine Dyson", she said.
Bo decided to take a nap. She was amazingly sleepy after she had just gotten out of bed.
When she woke up she saw Kenzi watching over her.
"Chicka if you keep ignoring my calls I'm gonna stop calling", Kenzi said.
"I missed another call? Sorry about that Kenzi", Bo said.
Bo heard Dyson's phone ringing.
"He must have left it here by accident", Bo said picking it up.
"Who's Clio? She wondered looking at the caller ID.
Bo passed out again in front of Kenzi.
"Ok that's it get up Bobo", said Kenzi pouring water on Bo.
"We are going to see Lauren", said Kenzi.
When they arrived Lauren was shocked to see them. Bo's shirt was sticking to her and Lauren couldn't not notice.
"So ummmmmm yeah, what did you guys need? Lauren asked.
"Bobo's been sick for a while now Doc. She keeps passing out quite often", said Kenzi
"What? Why didn't you come to me sooner Bo? Lauren asked.
"This is bad right Doc? Asked Kenzi
"Yes and I will need to run some tests", said Lauren.
Two hours later Lauren came in to question Bo. But Bo had passed out again.
"Kenzi what can you tell me? Lauren asked.
"Well I have called her a few times and she didn't answer. I went to the crack shack one night and found her passed out in the Camaro. This time I called and she didn't answer but she was asleep in bed. She passed out again before we came here", said Kenzi.
"Well we need to wake her up because, I need to talk to her", said Lauren.
Kenzi shook Bo but Bo didn't wake up at first.
"Cup of water Doc?
Lauren handed Kenzi a cup and she poured it on Bo.
Dyson had gone home to get his phone. He noticed Bo was gone and that Clio had called.
"Clio?
"Do you have my payment? she asked
"No. Not yet but I'm working on it", said Dyson.
"Look I have been casting spells for you, now if don't pay up soon, I will tell your succubus newlywed".
"I will get it", Dyson snapped.
Back at the clinic Bo had woken up again.
"Bo I couldn't find anything wrong with you but your blackouts like Kenzi described are alarming", said Lauren.
"Has anything else changed in your routine? Asked Lauren.
"No nothing. I mean Dyson keeps disappearing at odd hours and sometimes he comes in late", said Bo.
"Doc why does she keep passing out? Asked Kenzi.
"I don't know Kenzi, there is nothing wrong that I found in the tests I ran", said Lauren
"What can you do Doc? Asked Kenzi.
"I can monitor her but with nothing abnormal showing up in her blood work, it will be difficult to nail down the cause of her blackouts", said Lauren.
"Leave her with me for a few hours, I will monitor her brain activity", said Lauren.
"Ok Doc, but be careful she doesn't stay awake for very long and might wake up and attack you the next time she blacks out", said Kenzi.
"I will be careful and call you if I need you Kenzi", smiled Lauren.
"I will call Dyson and let him know where his wife is", said Kenzi.
"Ok", said Lauren.
Lauren cringed when Kenzi said wife. She never thought Bo would marry Dyson. She seemed so indifferent to Lauren despite her memory issues.
Several hours passed and Bo had not had another blackout.
Dyson had finally come to check on Bo.
"Hello Lauren. How's my wife? He asked.
"She's been doing well so far but it's only been a few hours. Kenzi told me she's been having blackouts. If you don't mind, I would like to keep her here for another hour or so", said Lauren.
"That's fine. I have errands to run", said Dyson lightly kissing Bo on the mouth as he took his leave.
