A/N: Ok, so I'm going to continue with this. I've decided this is set in season 4 after they were re-united by the Dark. I'm ignoring the whole Bo got angry because Lauren was willingly with the Dark. I'm also ignoring the existence of Rainer, although I might bring him in later depending on how the season plays out.

Any liberties I may have taken I ask that you just roll with it.


Chapter 2: Where the Impossible is Possible


Taking a deep breath to try to calm down, Lauren found her ultrasound and went upstairs, placing it on the bed. Lying on the bed so that she was half sitting she pulled her shirt off and unbuttoned her pants, squirting the gel on her stomach. Grabbing the wand she began, trying hard to stop her hands from shaking.

Torn between getting it over and done with as quickly as possible, and being accurate she tried to find the median between the two. It didn't take long before she found what she was both looking for, and hoping not to find.

But there it was. There was no question now, she was definitely pregnant. By the looks of it she was about six weeks along. Releasing the breath that she hadn't realised she was holding, her eyes started to fill with tears. This didn't make any sense.

She hadn't slept with a guy in over a decade.

No sex talk ever warned of this.

Girl plus girl did NOT equal baby. It was a simple fact of the universe.

How would Bo react? She thought as the first tear slid down her cheek, soon followed by more. Bo would have no choice but to believe that she had cheated, even though she hadn't.

It wasn't that she didn't want kids, she did. But this wasn't right. She didn't even know what it was that was now growing inside of her. It looked normal, and all the vitals were correct so at least that was a start. Knowing not to get her hopes up, but figuring it was worth a try she flicked the switch to get audio as well. Her own heart clenched when a rapid little heartbeat could be heard, almost like a bird flapping its wings.

Cliché, she knew, but she felt as though she was in a dream, and she wanted to believe that soon she would wake up and none of this would be real. But it was.

Shoving the device away from her she pushed herself up from the bed and stumbled in to the bathroom on shaky legs. Once there she wiped off the gel. Looking in the mirror, at her tear streaked face, and her mascara which was running down her face, following in the tracks of her still flowing tears, she braced herself against the counter.

The nausea which had plagued her suddenly reared back up and she spun around just barely making it to the toilet as her body rejected what little she had managed to eat. She spent a good five minutes there, and even once it was done she didn't have the energy or the will power to get up.

She didn't know how long she remained on the floor, but it was long enough that she fell asleep. The sound of someone knocking on her door roused her slightly, but she started to drift off again. Next thing she knew there were hands on her, gently nudging her awake.

"Sweetie," Bo said, seeing she was awake, "are you ok? You're freezing." Pulling a robe down from her position beside Lauren on the floor Bo wrapped her girlfriend in it, then wrapped her arms around her as well. "Did you get sick again?" Bo asked, when Lauren looked at her.

Seeing the love in Bo's eyes as she asked it reminded Lauren of the day's discoveries and she burst into tears again. Leaning into Bo's embrace she buried her face against her neck.

"Hey, what's wrong?" When she didn't receive a response she tried again. "Lauren?"

Lauren's only response was to clutch Bo even closer. Bo reciprocated the move, holding her while she cried.

After a while Lauren's cries stopped, and still Bo just held her, knowing Lauren wasn't ready to let go yet.

They remained like that for so long that Bo thought Lauren had fallen asleep again. Pulling back slightly she saw that she was right. She moved one of her arms down to Lauren's knees so she could scoop her up. Moving back into the bedroom she put her into bed, careful not to jostle her too much. She needn't have worried though, it was clear that her girl was out cold.

Even though it was only just after lunch, Bo stripped down to her underwear before climbing in beside her, where she resumed holding her. Once settled she sent Kenzi a message letting her know she was staying at Lauren's. She had no idea what had just happened but she didn't want Lauren to wake up alone.

When Lauren awoke hours later it was pitch black. Despite the darkness she knew she was no longer in the bathroom, and she could feel Bo's arms around her.

She could also feel the nausea was still present, despite there being nothing left in her stomach. Apparently, her body wasn't satisfied with that however, and so she bolted for the bathroom as dry heaves wracked her body.

Bo was only moments behind her, holding her hair back, and rubbing soothing circles on her back.

When finally it stopped, Bo helped her to stand back up. Leaning half against the sink, and bracing against Bo who was right behind her, she hesitantly brushed her teeth, being careful not to trigger a round 2.

"You're still tired, aren't you?" Bo said, seeing the way Lauren was using her and the counter for support as she finished brushing her teeth. When Lauren nodded in response, Bo stepped closer, placing one of Lauren's arms around her back, and wrapping her own around Lauren's waist. "Come on, back to bed with you," Bo said, supporting her as they moved back to the bed.

"Bo?" Lauren said once they were sitting in bed.

"Yeah?" She replied, brushing a strand of Lauren's hair behind her ear.

"I love you," Lauren said.

"I love you too," Bo replied without hesitation. "What's going on? Have you done the tests you were going to do, to see why you're sick?"

Lauren nodded. "Is it serious?" Bo asked. Lauren hesitated.

"I didn't," she stopped, before taking a deep breath and continuing. "I didn't cheat on you."

What? Her statement surprised Bo. "I know…" Bo reassured her.

"Promise me you'll remember that?"

"I promise. Now will you please tell me what's going on?"

"I'm pregnant."

Silence.

"I didn't cheat," Lauren repeated, her eyes pleading with Bo to believe her.

Her anguish snapped Bo out of her daze. She had no doubt that Lauren was telling the truth, she hadn't cheated, but knowing that didn't make it any less strange. "I know, I trust you," Bo told her, noticing the relief in Lauren's eyes as her words sunk in.

"I don't know how it happened," Lauren said, her voice wavering towards the end. "I'm scared," she whispered.

"Hey, it's ok. We'll work it out," Bo said, "we're in this together."

This time when her eyes filled with tears they were tears of relief, and happiness. She hadn't lost Bo, and she wasn't going to be alone.

"Thank you," Lauren said.

Bo wrapped her arms around her, laying them both down and pulling Lauren closer, until her head was on Bo's chest.

She was still only wearing a bra and panties.

"You know, if I wasn't so exhausted, I think I would have to jump you right now," Lauren said.

Bo laughed, "Yeah, I know what you mean, this robe leaves little to the imagination," Bo said, her hand tracing patterns up Lauren's back. "There'll be time for that later though, you should sleep."

Pushing herself up on her elbows Lauren looked at her. "Are you sure? Don't you need to feed?"

"I'm ok, babe. I'm certainly not starving, and there's no way I'm taking any from you," Bo replied. Seeing the doubt on Lauren's face she continued. "Really, I'm fine. Those injections are working properly again, now that you've adjusted them."

"If you're sure," Lauren replied, lying back down. She'd been holding herself up for less than a minute and her arms were already shaking from the effort.

"Do you think that's why you're so tired? You just slept for over 12 hours and yet you can barely stand," Bo said.

Lauren nodded, not trusting herself to speak.

"Is that normal?" Bo asked.

Lauren shrugged. "To an extent, yes. The rest is probably a combination of not enough sleep, too much stress, and our sex life."

Seeing Bo was about to respond to that, or more specifically, to the last part, and knowing she would blame herself, Lauren intervened. "You're not pushing me too far, Bo, or taking too much. I was fine up until this," she faltered, "this development."

"If you insist," she said.

"I do," Lauren replied.

"Should you eat something?" Bo asked her.

"It would just come back up," Lauren told her, shaking her head.

"You still feel sick?"

Lauren nodded.

"Is that normal?"

Another shrug. "I'll test the amniotic fluid tomorrow," she said, "or today, I guess," she corrected having noticed the time displayed on the alarm clock. "That should sort this all out."

"Is there anything I can do?" Bo asked her, hating that she was suffering.

"Stay with me?"

"That's a given," Bo told her, kissing her softly. "Sleep, I'm not going anywhere."

Bo continued to rub her back gently, soothing her back to sleep. She herself remained awake. She wasn't tired, and even if she was she had too much on her mind to sleep now. Her biggest concern was Lauren's health. The fact that she had no idea how it had happened screamed Fae, which in turn spelled trouble. Lauren was only human, her body wasn't designed to handle this kind of thing. Still, even if she was pregnant by a Fae, the baby should be human, that's how it works. Or so she tried to reassure herself.
