So I must hate myself…or just really like writing…one or the other. Here is part 3 of the "it could happen" series. Mainly I just really wanted to do another CopDoc story and couldn't come up with a good prompt to start one soI figured I'll just keep this one going for now. It's not critical to read the first two parts, however things will make a lot more sense if you do. Thank you so much to those who've come along on this journey and encouraged this third part of the story. You guys rock!

Here's what you need to know: 1) yes this one is M however it may ease into that rating so don't expect too much up front; 2) the gang's all here sans Trick cause he got stabbed (finally =P); 3) Lauren is not human, but not quite Fae and Kenzi…well we'll see if she stays human and 4) this is CopDoc all the way. Bo is with an OC and no, Doccubus will not be happening in this story. Just putting that out there now. And finally, 5) this will be way more character related and a lot less plot related because I really struggle with the whole mystery mythology deal.

So…if you're interested here we go. Character's not mine (except for Natalie), the rest belong to Showcase and Lost Girl.

Chapter 1

"Tamsin what are you doing?"

Lauren gave the Valkyrie an amused smile as she surveyed the mess in front of her. The taller blonde was standing in Lauren's kitchen with bread, mayo, mustard, Thousand Island dressing, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, ham, turkey, pepperoni, tuna, anchovies and bacon in front of her in various open containers. In her hand was quite possibly the largest sandwich Lauren had ever seen and to make matters funnier a big chunk of meat was hanging out of Tamsin's mouth on the side that was puffed out like a chipmunk's cheek.

"Nuffin…"

Tamsin chewed a few times and swallowed before wiping her mouth and giving the doctor a toothy grin. Lauren walked over and laughed as she reached up to wipe away some mustard that was stuck to the Valkyrie's lip and she shook her head. "Someone was hungry…"

Tamsin laughed and took another enormous bite of the sandwich and chewed happily. The shorter blonde just laughed as she reached to make herself a normal sized sandwich and looked over at the other woman. "Well just don't eat too much…we have to meet Kenzi and Jeff for dinner."

Tamsin rolled her eyes and nodded as she swallowed another bite. "That's in like three hours. I'll be fine."

Lauren just laughed and took a bite of her sandwich as her front door opened and Bo walked in with Natalie. "Hey guys…ugh what are you eating?"

Tamsin just rolled her eyes as she took another bite of her sandwich and Lauren looked at Bo with an amused smile. "Sandwich…want one?"

Bo made a face and shook her head while Natalie snagged a piece of ham out of the open container and chewed on it. Tamsin slapped her hand and the human doctor laughed as she dangled the meat in front of the Valkyrie.

"So…what brings you two by?"

Lauren had finished her normal sized sandwich and was starting to put the food back in her fridge as she looked at the pair in amusement. Bo shrugged as she took a seat at one of the barstools in front of the large counter and Natalie just laughed as she produced a very expensive bottle of wine and handed it to her best friend. "Housewarming gift."

Since the discovery of Lauren's role in everything she basically was released from her life of servitude to the Fae and the first thing she did was buy a house not too far from where Bo and Kenzi still lived. She hated her apartment and her condo because while both were plush and comfy, they were constant reminders that her life was always controlled by the Fae. She'd found a simple three bedroom house and shortly after purchasing it she had her things moved in and set up one of the rooms as her makeshift lab so she could stop doing autopsy's in her kitchen.

She had unceremoniously offered to have Tamsin move in with her but the Valkyrie declined stating while she was all good with how things were going she would never let go of her apartment because you never know when you needed time alone. Or so she told Lauren which led to a minor fight about her commitment to their relationship but ultimately dissolved as Lauren knew that Tamsin had no idea how to do all this 'relationship crap' and what a significant milestone this would have been for them. Bo on the other hand nearly had a coronary when she found out and she and Tamsin settled their differences in the boxing ring literally beating the crap out of each other. At the time Lauren and Natalie had reasoned that since they weren't going to be able to talk it out like adults the best thing for them was to at least have some form of protection when they were having their slugfest.

Since then Bo and Tamsin have managed to regain some form of civility much to the pleasure of their girlfriends who really had picked up their friendship as if nothing happened all those years ago. Tamsin also spent practically every night with Lauren and had a decent amount of clothing and personal items at the doctor's house but she wouldn't fully resign to moving in altogether. At times it frustrated Lauren that Tamsin didn't want to live with her but at the same time she knew this was all part of the package that was the complicated Valkyrie and besides, Tamsin had never done anything to make Lauren believe she wasn't totally invested in their relationship. In her own way of course.

Like the time Tamsin decided to help Lauren with the internal remodeling of her new house. Lauren had made a few comments about wanting to knock down one of the walls and expand the kitchen and one day when she came home Tamsin was standing there covered in dust and directing a group of what Lauren could only assume to be some kind of builder Fae to make changes in accordance with the plans she had once shown Lauren over dinner. At the time the doctor thought Tamsin was just trying to picture how it would look but when she came home and found a complete set of blueprints and all the necessary licensing paperwork to made changes to her home she was taken aback. She was a bit upset with Tamsin at first but then it dawned on her that this is how Tamsin was contributing and showing her that she cared. By destroying and reconstructing her living room apparently. The shorter blonde was impressed though as Tamsin got all the details correct even down to the granite countertops that Lauren had mentioned only once in conversation. It was a weird way of showing she was paying attention to what Lauren wanted and so the doctor couldn't stay mad at her no matter how hard she tried.

And then there was the issue of the puppy. Yes, Lauren let Tamsin get a puppy. And not just any puppy…no a big, slobbery, very hungry puppy that the vet told her would eventually weigh more than she did. Shortly after the kitchen remodeling incident the pair had been out shopping for house stuff and they came across a pet shelter. After Tamsin convinced Lauren to stop in for a second a large ball of energy had rushed over to Tamsin and made its presence known and Lauren had to laugh as the Valkyrie got down on the ground and rolled around with it straight away. At that point she knew the Valkyrie wanted to keep him so after she spoke at length with the on-staff vet and learned he was from a group of abandoned puppies and while they couldn't tell exactly what kind of dog he was that he appeared to have Labrador and Pit Bull in him she was sold. Forever a bleeding heart the vet's story of how the little guy was the last one of the group as no one wanted him because he was so hyper and the largest one and after watching Tamsin bond with him so quickly she relented and they ended up going home plus a new pet much to the doctor's chagrin.

Once they'd gotten home Lauren put her foot down about certain ground rules for the puppy and even with her stern doctor voice Tamsin just gave her a sly smile knowing she'd eventually give in and let the dog have free run of the house. To her credit though Tamsin did spend time training the puppy and now he was practically her shadow whenever she was there and Tamsin felt a bit better knowing he was around to keep Lauren company and safe when she wasn't there. It was almost like they were a little family and Tamsin often ridiculed Lauren about Thor (yes they name him that) really being her dog as he was as much if not more so attached to the doctor than he was to Tamsin. In fact she'd surprised Lauren by saying that's probably how their kids would be one day too and Lauren was so caught off guard she just let the comment go knowing that if she pushed that discussion on Tamsin the Valkyrie would probably backpedal a bit and she didn't want to ruin the happy bubble they were in right now.

"So you guys coming by the Dahl later?"

Lauren nodded as she looked over at Tamsin. "We have dinner plans with Kenzi and I'm sure we'll all head over after."

Bo smiled and nodded as she moved over for Natalie to sit closer to her. Since Trick's death Bo took it upon herself to take control of the Dahl and keep it in operating condition. With the help of Natalie and after some recommendations from Hale they found a few Fae they trusted to work there every day while Bo handled the management of the place. She did it in part to honor Trick who she felt somewhat saddened for losing, but if you asked her it really isn't that bad as she felt so betrayed by him right before his death. Up until that point Bo had rightfully believed he was her grandfather and she felt a slight void now that he was no longer around even though if he were she was pretty sure she'd hate him right about now.

The other reason she wanted to keep it alive was because she believed in the sanctuary it provided and she had some good memories there so she'd hate to see it go to waste. Lauren and Tamsin helped her get everything set up so she could keep it open and although she was met with some resistance initially, Bo had done a fairly good job of running the bar and she made Kenzi part owner as the petite Russian spent most of her time there anyway.

"Okay well we should be going. We'll see you guys later tonight."

Natalie and Bo said their goodbye's and left the two blondes in the kitchen were Tamsin was still working on her sandwich. Lauren could tell she was getting full though as she was more picking at the food than demolishing it like she was earlier and the doctor just laughed when Tamsin finally just picked the meat out of the sandwich and gave Thor the treat he was so patiently waiting for.

"So…we have a few hours to kill."

Tamsin smirked as she wrapped her arms around Lauren who laughed and pushed her away. "And you can start by brushing your teeth…your breath smells like anchovies and pickles."

She made a face at the Valkyrie who just rolled her eyes and nodded before heading upstairs to the bathroom. A few minutes later she crept back downstairs and found Lauren in the living room reading a medical journal of some sort. She silently crept up behind her and grabbed her playfully picking her up and spinning her around as she lightly pinned her to the wall. She smiled as Lauren let out a squeal of both surprise and happiness which quickly turned into a moan as Tamsin bent down to kiss her slowly letting her tongue explore the doctor's lightly.

Lauren's eyes shone bright gold as she looked back up at Tamsin when they finally broke apart for air and the Valkyrie felt the instant calm wash over her that happened whenever Lauren got like that. It wasn't something that the doctor knew how to control yet, and really it happened at very random times, but nonetheless it was a sure sign that in fact yes, Lauren was no longer totally human. She'd tried to research as best she could and they went through both the Light and Dark archives but so far haven't been able to find any information that would help them understand what exactly Lauren was right now. The doc did some basic bloodwork on herself and she concluded that at least at the cellular level she was different from humans and different from Fae. So for now she concluded she was some kind of immortal creature that she would need to learn more about as soon as possible. The Morrigan hadn't been much more help as she wasn't totally sure what Lauren was either just that she somehow played a key role in the whole saga and to her credit she'd backed away significantly and hadn't caused Bo or Tamsin any trouble since.

Dyosn on the other hand was in a world of hurt as Bo basically attacked him on sight the few times he'd come around to apologize and after a while he'd stopped trying to contact her as he knew she would need to settle down before she heard his side of the story and why he had helped the Morrigan distract her and Tamsin. The Valkyrie took a more aggressive approach to resolving her anger though and the day after the whole showdown with Odin happened she paid him a visit and through brute force alone left him gasping for his breath and bleeding profusely from multiple wounds spread throughout his body. She was livid that he would put Lauren's life in danger and it was only at the request of the doctor herself that she didn't kill him as Lauren reasoned that having to live with what he'd done and the anger that both she and Bo felt towards him was far worse than death. Since meeting Bo, he'd spent his entire existence wrapped up in her and protecting her and now that he didn't have that and Trick was gone, Dyson really was a lost soul. The Morrigan wouldn't give him the time of day and the Ash almost banished him forever once he'd learned what Dyson did. All in all he got what he deserved and no one in the group had heard from him for the past few weeks which they were all fine with.

Lauren smiled happily and wrapped her arms around Tamsin's neck. "Mmm much better."

Tamsin grinned and picked Lauren up again this time carrying her towards the couch as Thor gave them a brief glance before trotting upstairs in search of a toy. Even though he was estimated at around nine months old both women swore he could understand English and he quickly learned when it was and was not a good time to play with his owners. Tamsin sat down with Lauren still in her arms and she smiled up at her cheekily.

"So does this mean I'm getting lucky before dinner?"

Lauren contemplated her question thoughtfully. "I don't know….I mean really…ohhhh."

Tamsin had basically ignored what Lauren was saying as she kissed the exposed skin at the top of Lauren's button down shirt and was quickly making haste of the rest of the buttons leaving wet sloppy kisses all over the doctor's chest. Once the buttons were undone Tamsin's hands made their way to Lauren's backside and she squeezed it roughly, something she'd discovered early on in their relationship that drove the doctor wild. Case in point as Lauren laughed and ground her hips downward before shifting off of Tamsin and pushing the Valkyrie down on the couch. An evil smirk crossed her features as she lifted the taller blonde's shirt and began licking and nipping at the soft skin below her.

Tamsin groaned her approval and she propped herself up on her elbows to watch Lauren kiss a trail down her toned abs towards the buttons on her pants. She bit her lip apprehensively as Lauren undid the buttons slowly and flopped back down on the couch as the doctor slid her hand inside feeling the warmth and the wetness emanate from the Valkrie.

"Fuck Lauren…"

"I'm trying Valkyrie…"

Whatever snarky remark Tamsin was going to make in return was lost in the back of her throat as Lauren rubbed her firmly over her underwear and the doctor smirked in victory as Tamsin started unleashing loud cries of pleasure and frustration. Taking pity on her girlfriend Lauren slid her fingers beyond the thin fabric and into the very warm and wet opening of the woman beneath her and she almost broke her wrist as Tamsin's hips jumped off the couch with such force that Lauren had to hold her down firmly as she moved her fingers roughly in their confined space.

"Oh…fu—ck…"

Tamsin was beside herself as Lauren worked her fingers in and out of the Valkyrie and she knew she was going to come undone very quickly. With a few more strokes Lauren smiled gently as she felt Tamsin's inner walls grip her fingers tightly and she kept pumping slowly as the woman climaxed loving the sounds Tamsin made whenever she touched her. After a few seconds Lauren stilled her hand and looked down at the satisfied face of her lover. She laughed as she pulled her hand out and licked her fingers clean before lying down on top of Tamsin just listening to her heartbeat softly.

"Satisfied?"

Tamsin laughed as she wrapped her arms around Lauren. "That was just round one…I think I need a shower now and I think you should join me."

Lauren rolled her eyes and nodded as she sat up and shivered a bit at the way Tamsin was hungrily eyeing her chest and stomach. The doc often joked with Tamsin that at times she seemed more like a hormonal teenage boy to which Tamsin always responded with some comment to the effect that if the hormonal teenage boys saw the things she did she was pretty sure it would be enough to get them off then and there. Always a mood killer Lauren would just roll her eyes as Tamsin laughed and teased the blonde back into the mood where she made sure to prove just how grown up she really was.

As the pair ascended the stairs Tamsin commanded Thor to go back downstairs and sit by the door in case anyone tried to get into the house knowing that they were gonna be a while as cleanliness was not numero uno on the agenda. Lauren had just laughed as the puppy bound down the stairs and she smirked as Tamsin all but threw her into the shower barely stopping to remove her clothes so they wouldn't get ruined. An hour and many orgasms later both women emerged from the bathroom clean and very happy and they took their time lazily getting ready for dinner that night. Life was pretty good right about now and for once Lauren and Tamsin and the rest of the group didn't have a looming sense of dread hanging over them knowing their happiness was short lived.

So...what did you think? I feel like I need to ease back into this story since the ending of the previous part had so much in it. Let me know what you thought and thanks for reading!
