The Lewis Predicament

Lauren sat up in a cold sweat. She looked at the alarm clock next to her. It was 3 in the morning and it was her second time waking up from this nightmare in the past 3 days. The blonde had no idea why she was having this dream now. It happened nearly 10 years ago and yet it was haunting her now. Rolling over she watched her wife sleep. The brunette beside her had her hair in a loose side ponytail flowing down her shoulder. She had her mouth slightly open and was snoring. Lauren found herself lucky to be with this beautiful women. She then smiled and placed a kiss on her mate's forehead and walked into the kitchen to grab a glass of water after which she found herself flipping through the cable channels on the tv. Eventually Lauren fell asleep on the living room couch with the tv remote in her hand.

Bo was laying in bed when the alarm went off. "Babe, can you get that?" She said in a sleepy voice.

After a couple minutes of the alarm going off the brunette opened her eyes to see her wife was nowhere to be found in the bedroom. She got up and turned the alarm off and waddled to the living room. Bo noticed Lauren's feet dangling off the couch and made her way over to her. "Sweetie." The brunette said sternly as she shook her partner's shoulder lightly.

"Austin!" Lauren sat straight up and looked at Bo confused. "What happened?"

Bo moved Lauren's feet so she could sit down. "Well doctor, it looks like you slept out here last night. By the way, who's Austin?"

A cold chill went down her spine hearing that name for the first time in 10 years. "Nothing, just a weird dream I guess." Lauren smiled at her wife but she could tell by Bo's raised eyebrow that she wasn't buying it.

Bo didn't press the issue, she knew that if Lauren didn't want to talk about something she couldn't force her. She learned that the hard way when they first started dating. If she wanted to tell her she would. "Well, if you need to talk I'm always here for you." Bo gave the blonde a quick kiss on the lips and walked to the kitchen to start the coffee.

Lauren hated lying to Bo but she wasn't ready to open up that can of worms just yet. "Hey, hey no coffee! Doctor's orders." Lauren smiled at her own pun.

The blonde walked up behind the brunette and wrapped her arms around her stomach and placed her hands on Bo's baby bump.

"Well as it so happens I'm not making this for me. I'm making this for you. I know you haven't been sleeping well these past couple of days."

Lauren looked over at the clock on the wall it was a quarter till 7 and she needed to have Bo at the doctor's office by 8. The blonde wasn't comfortable with a mediocre doctor handling her wife and baby. So, she insisted that she should go to every doctor's appointment. But today was a special day. They were going to find out the sex of the baby. She was nervous and excited at the same time. "You know I was thinking of names again." She started the eggs and bacon as she made her statement.

"Let me guess. You want to name our kid Charles Dickens or Marie Einstein." Bo sat at the table and watched her beautiful wife make her breakfast.

The blonde smiled down into the eggs that were sizzling in the skillet. "Actually it's Charles Darwin. Charles Dickens wrote the classic Moby Dick. Marie Curie died of radiation and Albert Einstein came up with the theory of relativity. I appreciate the effort though."

Lauren brought out two plates and sat them on the table with two drinking glasses. "Actually I was thinking maybe Melody if it is a girl."

Bo wrinkled her nose at the name. "No, my local home town whore was named Melody."

"Ok, no Melody then." They haven't been able to agree on any names yet but Lauren was hoping that once they found out the sex that maybe they could narrow it down some.

Lauren was placing the toast on the plates and the orange juice in the drinking glasses when Bo's phone went off. "Hey Dyson."

"Hey, do you guys need me to pick you up?"

"No, I think Lauren wants to stop by the research facility afterward. But thanks anyway. See ya soon. Bye."

"Bye."

When Bo got off the phone with Dyson she looked down at her plate to see that Lauren had placed eggs and bacon on her plate as well. "One slice of bacon, seriously?"

"Bacon is loaded with salt. Gastational hypertension can develop and cause pre-eclampsia which can cause the placenta to not work properly limiting the baby's food supply resulting in a premature delivery."

Bo smiled at Lauren's doctor-speak. It was one of the things that attracted her to the blonde. "Ok, so bacon is bad. Gotcha."

"What did Dyson want?"

"He just wanted to see if we wanted to carpool."

"Carpool? Is he going too?"

"Of course, it's his baby as well."

Lauren hated the fact that Dyson's DNA was in her child. They had to use infertalization or adopt. With Bo being a succubus they decided on not adopting. It was in the child's best interests. Infertalization was their best option and Dyson was the perfect sperm donor. They talked about it in length. If their child was conceived by two fae then the child would also be a fae. Lauren didn't want her child to be mortal. She didn't want Bo to have to bury her child just because their child died of natural causes in their 80's while Bo was over 100 in age and looked the same as she did now.

…..

"Congratulations, it's a boy." The nurse left to give them some privacy. Lauren kissed her wife on the forehead and hugged her. "A boy sweetie, a boy." Lauren was filled with joy and Dyson looked like a proud papa.

"This calls for a celebration. Call Kenzi, Tamsin, Hale, and Trick. We are going out." Dyson said as her hurried out the door.

Bo got through calling Kenzi who was out with Hale. Lauren left a voicemail on Tamsin's phone and now Bo was on the phone with Trick. "So, is it a boy or girl? I can't stand the wait."

"Well you're just gunna have to wait for when we all go out tonight. Meet us at that little place on third at 6. See ya later gramps."

Lauren pulled up to the facility. "You don't have to get out if you don't want to. It'll only take a minute."

"You kidding me? I got pictures to share!" Bo held up the ultrasound picture that they just got today and quickly got out of the car.

When they entered they found Tamsin waiting. "Tam Tam look right there!" Bo pointed at the picture. "It's a wang!"

"It's a boy!? Congrats!"

Off in another room there was a crash and a scream followed by a man about 6-foot something and looked like he hadn't bathed in years. "Where's Lauren!? Where is she!"

Lauren took one look at the man and it was like she was looking at a ghost. She fell back into the lab equipment. "Austin? No, it can't be. You died 10 years ago! In my fucking arms!"

He closed the distance between the two of them and pulled out a knife and held the blade against her throat. "Hey buddy, I don't know who you think you are but get your hands off my wife!" Bo's eyes flashed blue as she took out her own knife.

"What the hell are you?!"

"Tamsin, get her out. Now!" Lauren made a pact with Tamsin when Lauren first found out that Bo was pregnant that if any harm would come to Bo and the baby that Tamsin would keep her safe.

Tamsin yelled at Lauren's research crew. "Everyone out! Now!" Everyone followed the valkayrie's command, "you too baby mama. Out."

"No way."

Lauren closed her eyes. "Honey, if you love me you'll do as she asks. Think about the baby Bo."

The brunette lowered her weapon. "If she's not out in 15, I'll make sure my friend over here makes sure that you doubt yourself for the rest of your life. Got it?" She walked out of the building with Tamsin right behind her.

"Ok princess. Start talking."
