The thud of footsteps running up the stairs was all the warning they got before a hyperactive Valkyrie burst through the doorway. "Bo! Guess what!?" Bo had just managed to roll away to Lauren's other side bringing the covers over them at the same time.
Tamsin's face scrunched in confusion having caught the last of the flurry of movement. "What are you guys doing?"
"Oh umm…" Bo glanced down the bed making sure everything was covered, "Lauren had an ouchy. I was just checking it out."
"Aww Lauuuurrr – are you ok? Let me see," said Tamsin climbing on the bed to kneel beside Lauren.
Lauren's grip tightened on the covers that had started to slip, "NO! No. I'm ok Tamsin."
"Do you have a fever? Is that why you don't have you pyjamas on?" Tamsin reached her hand to Lauren's forehead. Bo leaned up on her side watching the interaction with amusement. Tamsin couldn't feel any difference so she supposed that meant everything was ok.
Lauren chuckled at the Valkyrie's concern. "Oh honey," she sighed grabbing Tamsin's hand and tugging her down, "come here." Tamsin followed the momentum and laid out beside Lauren. Resting her head on Lauren's shoulder, she snuggled in. Lauren wrapped her arms around Tamsin and gave her a quick squeeze, contemplating the best way to dissuade Tamsin's current curiosity. She sighed again deciding honesty would be the best policy, "we're going to have a 'birds-and-bees' talk later."
"Wait! I know this!" Tamsin jerked upright again, "Kenzi was telling me. It has something to do with those condoms over there," she said pointing over to Bo's bedside table.
Lauren chuckled and Bo rolled on to her back, covering her face with her hands and groaning in disappointment; there was no way they were getting rid of the inquisitive Valkyrie now.
"Lo," said Bo glancing over, "I know you wanted kids someday but I'm seriously reconsidering right now."
Tamsin looked away, hurt. Lauren glared and slapped Bo's arm.
Bo frowned at the action, "I mean I love you TamTam but," she reminisced on this morning's pre-interruption antics smirking, "I really wanted to-" Bo's mouth was covered by Lauren's hand. Bo pulled the hand from her mouth. "I was going to say 'have breakfast'." She could tell by Lauren's frown that she wasn't fooling anyone.
"But all the cereal's downstairs," said Tamsin. She glanced between the two, awaiting confirmation. Lauren glanced down picking at the covers, a blush steadily rising on her cheeks.
"Ugh! Tamsin, turn away for a sec." Bo got up, grabbing Lauren's PJs and tossing them to her before covering herself in her kimono. Lauren shuffled upright in the bed, sliding the PJs on. "Alright real breakfast it is then," Bo said, moving around the bed.
Tamsin jumped up, "cool." She rushed out the doorway calling out as she made it to the threshold, "Kenzi! Plan Box Block worked! Bo's up and she's buying us breakfast!" Bo glared at Tamsin's retreating form while Lauren tried to stifle her giggles.
A/N: Phew. I can't believe I've finally actually published one. Woohoo!
Oh also, all the usual disclaimers.
