Sorry, I just get ideas and I had to take a short look at future Doccubus possibilities. I promise that I am still working on chapters for the other stories. Still a little hung up on "Were eternity Possible", but "All Downhill" should post again next week. I look forward to your reviews so please let me know what you think. I own nothing. All characters belong to Prodigy pictures and Lost Girl.
"In Another Life"
Elder Anwar's Home
"I know, I know. She has been asking many questions of late. She says she is interested in applying for the Head of Psychology position that has opened up here in the new clinic" an older, red haired woman speaks into the phone.
"Do you think she has any idea" the woman on the other end asks hesitantly.
"No, I really don't think she knows why she has this deep desire to come and meet the Queen. I have been watching them both for years, interested to see how it all plays out. It has been very difficult not to interfere" she sighs and runs her fingers through her long, curly tresses. "You know, in my hundreds of years I have never had the chance to witness soul mates reconnect after reincarnation. The timing and distances can be very difficult."
"Do you really think the Queen will recognize her? I mean, how is it possible? It's been nearly 150 years since they were together. I have heard stories, but I really find it hard to believe. I don't want my daughter to get hurt" the voice fills with concern.
Taking a seat, the elder Fae relaxes into the chair with her feet up "Nor do I. She is my granddaughter after all. I like to think that it will be an all or nothing event. Like I said, Alexandra doesn't know anything other than she has a strange fascination with Queen Ysabeau, so there are no expectations or let downs. I remember her asking me when she was about eight or so, who the woman in the coronation picture was. I told her it was the Queen and asked her why it was that she wanted to know. She told me that she saw her in her dreams. The brunette was holding her and telling her that she loved her. She said that she felt safe. I explained that that was one of the Queens gifts to Fae children."
The voice lets out a deep breath "I will take your word for it, but you said that you have never witnessed it, so you cannot be sure. I remember what happened when you read her at birth. The shock of what you saw nearly floored you. You never really explained to me why it was so surprising from any other past life that you have read. You just said that it was a very special one. Mother, now that the meeting is imminent, could you please just tell me why?"
"My dear, what I did was done to protect you both. I never wanted to put you in an uncomfortable position with your own child. My gift of reading past lives is also a curse, because I am not to interfere. If they are told, they may rebel or force something that is not to be, most likely leading to misery. Fortunately, I have not been close to both parties before, so it was never really an issue. Now, however, being a Fae elder who is in close association with the Queen and whose own granddaughter's soul is the one desperately trying to reconnect with her mate, well…that has been a challenge. Now that she plans to apply with or without my help, I am absolved. Do you understand, my child?"
"Yes, I guess I understand your reasoning, but could you at least tell me who Alexandra was and why it is so special?"
Brief snapshots from a past life is what she gets when she reads a newborn. A smile graces the elder's lips as she recalls the vision. Bo and Lauren at various stages of their relationship. The vision was so strong and vivid that she could feel the warmth of love and the pain heartbreak. Pain that shot through her chest nearly bringing her to her knees that day as she held baby Alexandra in her arms.
"My dear, our Alexandra was Lauren Lewis. Dr. Lauren Lewis, actually. The human doctor that saved the Fae many times over and was held in great esteem by our people for her dedication. She was brilliant. I had met her a few times over the years. She and a certain unaligned succubus, Bo, whom we all know now as Queen Ysabeau, fell in love. It was more than love though, as the Doctor was the only one who could ever tame the beast when it raged out of control. The inner Succubus recognized the Doctor as her one true mate, which is extremely rare. As you know, though, humans do not live very long compared to Fae, so the time they had together was just a blip in Bo's otherwise long life. What is even more special is that a human was reincarnated as a Fae. The gods certainly must have felt Dr. Lewis worthy of such an honor and decided to repay her for her good deeds if they have offered her the chance to truly and completely be with her mate. As you know, The Queen has never really recovered from the loss, refusing any and all suitors other than to heal. Maybe the gods feel that this is a worthy way to repay the Champion, as well. Either way, I cannot wait to see what happens when I introduce them. I have a meeting with the Queen tomorrow to set up an interview for Alexandra. Please let her know that I will be in touch with her tomorrow night. Remember, you can never tell her about this. They must discover this all of their own accord."
There is a brief silence on the other end of the phone.
"Um…I don't know what to say. I have heard of the Doctor, and I knew that my girl was special, but I had no idea. Thank you, mother. I know that she will be most excited to hear from you."

The Queen's Residence
"Queen Yseabeau, thank you for taking a moment to meet with me" the Elder Anwar bows her head gently in respect.
"Of course, Erin. You have been a good friend and an ally for years. I always have time for you" she replies with a smile. "Please have a seat. What may I do for you today?"
Relaxing in her chair she smiles back at Ysabeau, "I understand that there is a Head of Psychology opening here. I have the perfect candidate for you."
"Oh really? Well if they come recommended by you, then I should certainly meet this person. How about you both come at noon tomorrow? We can meet, enjoy lunch and have a tour of the facilities" the Queen states enthusiastically.
"Very well, then. We will be here, thank you. I think you two will get along nicely" her eyes twinkle with excitement. "Now, how are you doing, besides building a premiere medical facility for the Fae" the Elder places her hand on the Queen's in comfort.
The Queen feigns a light smile while she looks out the window. It has been a long and trying journey of bringing peace to the Fae and eliminating Dark and Light divisions. After Lauren passed away, Bo has continued on but with less passion. A seemingly 150 year depression, despite her accomplishments of making life better for all Fae and freeing the humans. Even Trick and Dyson have tried to bring her out of it only to be met with anger from the succubus.
"I am fine. Things are progressing. I am happy to provide top Research that will make life better for humans and Fae alike" she closes her eyes for a moment thinking of how much her Doctor would have loved this. She would have been a kid in a candy store. At least she was around to see her free humans. She feels tears well up and she quickly brings herself back. "And how are things for you and your family?"
The two women continued to talk for a while, enjoying a relaxing social meeting without politics and decisions. They both relish these moments and agree that they should really do it more often. Being highly ranked among the Fae tends to keep you occupied with undesirable meetings and business topics rather than enjoying personal time.
The red haired woman moves to stand, "Well, if you will excuse me, my Queen, I thank you once again for having me. It is always a pleasure to spend time with you."
"The pleasure was all mine Erin" Ysabeau nods graciously
"We will be here promptly at noon tomorrow. I hope that this will be one less thing on your plate to deal with after you meet tomorrow" the woman bows her head and leaves.

Lunch at the Queen's Residence
The two women waited patiently in the office for their meeting. Alexandra takes in the pictures and books in the room while nervously playing with her fingers. The space is mostly white with a red throw rug and light hardwood floors. There are many old books and family portraits of important Fae families in the room. She notices the one of her grandparents hanging next to the lamp. Looking over at her grandmother she smiles "Thank you for setting this up. I hope I do not let you down."
Placing a comforting arm around her shoulders the woman smiles lovingly "I am not worried about you, my dear. I know you will do great things."
A dark, handsome man dressed in black enters the room "Let me show you to the dining room. The Queen has arrived."
The ladies follow him to the dining area. As he opens the door Alexandra sees the Queen attending to some last minute papers. Elder Anwar reaches back to grab her hand and bringing her beside as they wait patiently to be acknowledged. After a brief moment the Queen turns and approaches the Elder. They both bow their heads as she approaches. She has not yet looked at Alexandra.
"Thank you for meeting with us, my Queen. I would like to introduce you to Dr. Alexandra O'Brien" she moves her hand towards her granddaughter.
Queen Ysabeau looks up and is immediately struck by the woman's beauty. Alexandra has long, black wavy hair with light skin and bright blue eyes. A bright smile encompasses her entire face, lighting up her features. She is tall, toned and carries herself confidently with quiet intensity that was quite sexy. Her aura is burning bright. She has not seen one this bright for her, since…well, since Lauren.
The two are caught in a silent stare, looking deep into one another's eyes. The elder Fae simply smiles at the exchange and steps away, content to watch from afar.
"Um… I am sorry, it is an honor to meet you Queen Ysabeau" the dark haired woman shakes her head in embarrassment.
"No, the honor is mine, Alexandra" extending her hand in greeting, anxious to touch the other woman.
"Please, call me Alex" their hands meet and there is an instant reaction in both women. Alexandra's breath hitches and the Queen feels something electric deep inside that she has not felt in a very long time. The same thing she felt the first time her Doctor touched her during the exam.
Ysabeau nods "Alexandra is a beautiful name, but whatever you prefer. You can call me Bo" still holding onto her hand and smiling adoringly.
She releases Bo's hand and fidgets uncomfortably "No, really, I can't my Qu…"
She is cut off by a shooing hand "Please, I insist. In fact, I prefer it" Bo states while placing her hand on the small of Alex's back to guide her to a chair.
This small gesture seems to relax the woman. The touch is soothing, yet exciting. Alex has never felt anything like it before. She is unsure if it is because she has longed to meet the Queen…er….Bo, or because she has seen her in dreams several times over her years. She has never figured out what the dreams meant, she just always felt loved and safe.
"Why don't we all enjoy lunch and then I will give you a tour and discuss your employment here" never taking her eyes off of Alex, Bo smiled and took her seat at the smaller, more intimate table in the corner of the room.
She always hated those large tables for small groups. It had such a cold feeling and was difficult to enjoy a conversation.
Elder Anwar remained quiet, enjoying her meal and watching the two exchange glances and smiles. This was all too good. She wonders how many others have reconnected like this. Most of them never find out about their past lives, they just know that they have found someone special now. That one who completes them and makes life worth living. She hopes that this will be one of those events for her good friend and her granddaughter.
Finally Bo breaks the silence, "Are you sure we have never met Alex? You seem so familiar to me."
Shaking her head "No, we have not. I am certain, but I know what you mean" she gives a half smile. One like Lauren used to give when she was nervous but happy.
They finished their meal in relative silence before the older woman excused herself.
"Thank you for lunch. It was wonderful. If you would excuse me, I have work to do and you two have much to discuss" she says smiling and bowing her head to the Queen.
"Of course. Thank you for coming. We should do it more often" Bo nods respectfully, thereby releasing the woman from the meeting.
Erin winks at her granddaughter and departs their company.
Bo and Alex sit there watching one another from across the table.
The Queen places her napkin down and moves to stand with a bright smile gracing her lips "Well, shall I give you the grand tour?"
She walks around and offers the dark haired woman her hand, more out of wanting to touch her again than being courteous. She can barely contain her excitement when her hand is accepted by the smiling beauty as she leads her out.
During the tour, a goofy grin would spread over Bo's face as she watched Alex's excitement over some of the research and equipment housed there. She reminded her so much of her Lauren that her heart hurt. She felt and indescribable connection to this woman.
'What was it with me and science geeks' she wondered to herself with a light chuckle while Alex was going on about something using big words that Bo could care less about. All she really wanted to do was taste those luscious lips and run her fingers through her hair.
"Bo!" She is startled from her thoughts by a voice and bright blue eyes looking at her questioningly.
"Hmm?" 'Crap, that was a sorry ass response. She's gonna think I am ignoring her' her subconscious tells her.
"I'm sorry. Sometimes I get so excited about work that I ramble. It tends to bore people to death" Alex rolls her eyes.
Something in Bo snaps and all she can do is think of her former lover. Being driven by the beast inside, she slides up to Alex, leaning in close enough to smell her lavender shampoo. The woman doesn't move, afraid to offend the Queen, yet something in her is calling for her to ravage the brunette's body. Bo closes her eyes and runs her finger gently along Alex's jawline. The dark haired beauty feels herself shiver and her panties become wet with anticipation. Lips tremble as she closes her eyes, feeling Bo's breath on her neck. The brunette's lips ghost their way down her neck and settle on her pulse point. Feeling her knees weaken, Alex slides her hands up along Bo's arms for support while titling her head away to allow better access to a long, slender neck. Bo places her hands on the toned waist then pulls back for a moment before leaning in and brushing their noses together.
Gently pressing her lips to Alex's, Bo opens her eyes, startled that she behaved this way and tries to pull back ashamed. Alex instinctively pulls her closer, wrapping her arms around the brunette's waist and deepens the kiss. Their mouths move slowly, melting together. Their desire flares and the pace quickens, devouring one another. Alex slides her tongue along Bo's lips, asking for entrance. Bo grants her wish, feeling an ache between her legs and her succubus fighting to be free. When their tongues meet, she is suddenly stung by memories of Lauren that send a jolt through her body throwing her off of the woman.
The Queen's eyes are blazing blue as her inner succubus growls "Lauren, you have finally found your way home."
Alex gasps, eyes tearful yet wide in surprise, not knowing what has happened. She stands her ground, stepping closer. She doesn't feel in control of her own body, but she reaches her hand out to the succubus "I trust you, Bo. You are not a monster."
The familiar words enable Bo to regain control. She falls against the wall in shock, her hand covering her face. Unable to recall the last few seconds she asks "I am so sorry. I don't know what happened. I hope I didn't hurt you."
It was as if all the heart break and love of 50 years with Lauren punched her in the chest. She could hardly breathe. With tears in her eyes, she looks up at blue eyes and whispers, "Did you feel that?"
"Yes." The reply was barely a whisper.
Clearing her throat she continued, "Um…I saw images of you and a blonde woman. They err…um… they were like the ones I would see of you in my dreams, but I have never seen her before." She looks at down, her feet kicking the floor lightly embarrassed. "I could feel the love between you. My heart ached…" she trails off and extends her hand for Bo as their eyes meet once again.
The brunette ignores the hand, but brings herself closer to the bewildered woman. Arching a brow, she looks into her eyes and asks "What do you mean you have seen me in your dreams?"
TBC…
