This chapter has a little bit of drama in it. But I promise it will be worked out by the end. But I have to warn you. I am not fan of Tamsin. I literally loathe the character and I really was happy she died. I was pissed she had the nerve to try and pawn her kid off on Bo and act like it was anything but her need for Bo to have a piece of her attached to her. When we all know that Kenzi raised T and should have been the first person she asked to raised her kid. Arrghh. I really hate that we didn't get more of a doccubus ending that we deserved but it is what is. I just wanted to address a few things in this chapter regarding Dagny and how she fits into a home Bo has been building for ten years with Lauren. This is the set up chapter

Then I Met You

Chapter 3-

It had been two months since Bo and Lauren's visit with Lou Ann. Lauren began to show not even a week afterwards. The pregnancy caused a bit of an uproar Bo heard through the grapevine, which was Vex. Even though it had been 10 years of the New Rule as it was referred too, it was still taboo to have an relationship with a human, at least in the open. This was despite the region being "human friendly". The humans that knew of the Fae were now paid for their service. As long as they were treated fairly and not harmed, they agreed to keep the secret. Though not many wanted to test going rogue and exclaiming to the world that their were supernatural beings in the world.

The Fae that couldn't get on board were "asked" to leave the region. Bo had no trouble forcing them out. Lauren called it the five year war. In which the gang and its allies were literally at the war with any fae that pushed back against the "human friendly" rule. It caused Lauren a great deal of worry. They were all targets and lived as such those first few years. It was why it had taken so long for the doctor to plan her wedding. She didn't want assassins crashing the reception. But now they were five years from that point and Lauren finally thought they had caught a break. But then Dagny showed up.

It wasn't that she resented the girl. It was only that Dagny was forever a reminder of Tamsin and the drama that brought about. Not too mention she held the mark of Hades which meant any peace they had strived for was now going to end. And Lauren was pregnant. She was having a child and she just wanted to bring it into a world worthy of her. And they had been so close. But now Dagny was here and needed protection from whatever imagined enemies Bo was on guard for. It was consuming the brunette waiting for her father to pop up like some boogy man. Lauren felt like she was on the backburner. A feeling that she swore she would never allow herself to feel again. But here she was taking a back seat again.

Dagny was handful. Of course she was. She was a teenager. She had so many question about her father. About Tamsin. It was one thing to have you wives ex lovers kid living with you. It was another thing to spend every moment listening to your wife expound on how fucking great said ex lover was when they were alive. Even though that person made your life hell and was still in love with your wife even on their deathbed. Lauren Lewis had had enough.

Lauren winced as she tried to stretch out on her couch. She felt like a bad person. But she didn't care. She was hormonal and exhausted. Bo had been promising to take her away but that had been over a month ago. A here she was. Stuck in Fae-Ronto as she called it gearing up for a war they weren't even sure was coming. And where was Bo? Bo had spent the last two weeks on "jobs" for an old friend of Tricks. Errands that lasted late into the evening. And then! the Succubus had left yesterday to parts unknown on a "trip". The blonde felt herself getting emotional. Maybe there was someone else. Bo still had to feed. Not as much since the changes to Lauren's body began a few years ago. But still. Lauren didn't even answer her text msg. because she was so upset. Dyson had to come over and visually check on her and beg her to call Bo before she lost her shit.

This was too much. When Bo got back she was leaving. She would be damned if she sat around babysitting Tamsin's brat (who thank god spent more time at the Dahl than home) while her wife stepped out on her.


When Bo walked into her home the lights were off. Only a the light over the kitchen stove seeped into the living room. "Lauren?" She called softly reaching to her side where her dagger was hid under the stylish red leather jacket she wore. She'd been out of town the last evening. she knew she was pushing it but she wanted to really surprise her wife. She looked around. There were no signs of forced entry but that didn't mean anything. Especially if her father was behind it. Quietly she slipped up the polished wooden stairs. Bo's heart was in her throat, the fear literally choking her with every breath she took. "Please be ok" she whispered over and over as she stood at the master bedroom.

Taking in a deep breath Bo pushed open the door forcibly her dagger drawn, "Lauren!" she shouted. The blonde's head snapped up at the sound of her name. She was sitting in the large dark velvet chair staring out at Toronto skyline. The blinds were drawn up to the ceiling. The sky dark and filled with stars. The telescope Bo had bought Lauren for her birthday last year was near by.

"Lauren!" Bo breathed out dropping the dagger with a clatter to the floor. "Jesus, Mary and Joseph woman!"

Lauren said nothing. She only looked at her wife with sad red rimmed brown eyes.

"Baby what's wrong." Bo was startled. She quickly crossed the distance between them, kneeling at her wife's' legs. "Is it the baby? Charley" she asked worriedly.

A nod no.

"Are you hurt? did something happen?" Bo fired off. Her hands checking over the doctor, touching her face and shoulders gently.

Lauren nodded no silently again.

Bo blew out a frustrated sigh, her hand lingering against Lauren's cheek. "Please, honey. You're scaring me. Please talk to me." The Succubus wasn't a fool. She knew she had been preoccupied lately and the transition with Dagny living with them had been a bit rough. But she really had grown over the last 10 years. She'd made arrangements to rectify things just these past few days.

Lauren sniffed and went to wipe a stray tear away but her wife kissed it away before she could. She gave the brunette a watery smile, it was very hard to stay mad Bo. "Just tell me the truth Bo" she looked away. "Who is she" she sniffed.

Bo had no idea what Lauren was talking about. She blinked at her, her mouth open. Laurens face turned angry and pushed the brunette on the shoulders hard knocking her off balance. "The woman you are cheating on me with!"

"What? Woman!" Bo blinked before laughing. "Baby come on" she pleaded seeing her wife was near tears. "There is no woman. I swear to you on everything!" Bo said seriously. "I love you Lo. Just You."

Lauren nodded sniffing. She didn't really think there was another woman.

"Babe" Bo said shaking her head and leaning forward to kiss Lauren against her mouth chastely. She pulled back and stared her deep in her eyes. "I know I've been "not present" she smiled using one of Lauren's words. "But If you will let me. I think I know what you need."

Lauren looked skeptically at her. "You're still my wife Lauren Lewis, I know what you need even if I have had my head up my ass lately." she grinned. Bo stood up and offered her hand to the blonde. "Come on. It's time to pack" she smiled brightly.

"Pack?" Lauren frowned, brows knitted.

"Yes Love. Pack. I promised you some time away and I've finally gotten it set up." Bo was almost bouncing with excitement.

Lauren rolled her eyes as she allowed her wife to help her up. Bo's hands instinctively cupped her swollen belly. "You look so adorable" Bo smiled.

"Flattery will not get you out of the dog house" Lauren said but there was no bite in her words. Bo was giving her the puppy dog eyes and she knew she would cave sooner or later. "We need to talk babe."

Bo pulled Lauren into a full embrace, as much as she could with their baby between them. She leaned forward and kissed her softly taking a moment to savor the kiss. "I know hon. But not here. Just trust me for a little while longer ok. I promise we will address this "other woman" nonsense and yes we'll talk about Dagny" Her eyes were begging and when could Lauren ever refuse her when she was like this.

"ok" she breathed out suddenly needing to hold Bo close. Lauren buried her face in Bo's neck and exhaled.

They held each other like that for long moments. Bo kissed the top of her wife's golden head. "I love you so much. So much." she whispered.

"Can you say that again?" Lauren breathed against her chest.

Bo pulled back both her hands cupping Lauren's face. " I Love you more than life itself. You are my heart Lauren Lewis." Bo kissed her softly but deeply letting her tongue pushing to Lauren's willing mouth. The passion grew and they both gave into the desire of the moment. Bo finally pulled back but not before pulling on the blondes tongue one last time before letting go. The moan that tore out of her wife all but ruined the Succubus's panties. SHe had to step back and catch her breath, her eyes closed a dry laugh coming forth. "You're gonna be the death of me woman" she smiled at Lauren opening her eyes and swallowing hard.

Lauren wore a smug look of pride on her face as she watched her lover's eyes flash blue. Realizing they needed to clear the air first the rational side of Lauren's brain took over. "Ok so packing" she clapped her hands together. She was happy Bo was keeping her promise.

Bo just smiled widely as watched her wife began to move around the room gathering her clothes. "Where we're going you going to need your fall clothes. Nothing to heavy but I want you to be warm." she said lightly.

"Fall?" Lauren's eyes lit up. FInally Bo thought. That was the light that had been missing in her wife. She swore to God she would work harder to keep it there.

"Yes and that's all the hints you are going to get." Bo kissed her cheek. "Now I'll be right back!" Bo scampered out of the room before Lauren could respond.


Bo had been planning this trip for the last week. She'd packed enough clothes for three weeks for herself and for Lauren. SHe just needed to keep Lauren occupied while she activated the portal. It had cost her pretty penny and a bunch of favors but she'd finally gotten what she needed to create the escape portal. An old friend of Tricks who was an actual witch helped her with this. No one knew where the portal was. all Bo needed to do was place the enchanted items on the doors of the place she wanted to go and from her choice of starting point. She chose their home. If ever there was trouble Lauren and the baby could get to Lauren's office and they would be safe. She pulled out the enchanted knob and began to remove the old door knob from the work office's wardrobe closet.

Bo chuckled to herself. Her poor emotionally wrecked baby thought she was cheating on her. Yes they needed some time alone. She was slipping on her wife duties but by the time she and Lauren came back from their vacation everything would be good. She'd made plans to do nothing but nest with her doctor.

"Bo..Bo?" Lauren voiced called out. Bo smiled as she finished up.

She dusted off her knees and jogged up the stairs and called out. "In your babe." Lauren smiled at her and eyebrow raised. "What the hell are you up too?"

"All in good time. Lauren Lewis I know you did not carry that suitcase down the stairs!" Bo scolded her rushing over to take it from the blonde. "The baby isn't due for another 3 months. I can still do things"

"Not when they involve stairs and suitcases and You" Bo frowned shaking her head. "Give me..come one Give it over"

"This is crazy." Lauren moaned but did as she was told. Bo led her down the stairs comically slow. "Bo why are we in my office."

"Because we are heading to our destination of fun, relaxation and lots of mindblowing sex." Bo said cheekily. She slapped the blonde on her jean clad butt. (maternity of course).

"We' staring at my closet."

"We are going in the closet babe."

"I'm not going back in the closet love. Not even for you" Lauren quipped.

"Just this once. I promise it will be worth it. Now! watch what I do." Bo grinned as she reached towards the door nob.

"Is that new.?"

"shhhh" Bo chuckled. "This is what my "mistress" was working on for us. And trick's friend was an old old lady Lauren. She wishes us a fine time away." Bo winked as she watched the blush bloom over Lauren's cheek.

"Not one of my finer moments." She admitted tucking stray piece of hair behind her ear.

"I deserved it I've been a neglectful wife. But I intend to remedy that" Bo kissed her on the cheek. "Now." Bo squeezed the knob hard. "Abra la puerta a mi corazon" She wrapped her free arm around Lauren and pushed open the door and stepped through.

Bo and Lauren stood in the dark. "So how long are we supposed to stay in the closet?"

The brunette laughed as she pushed open the door and stepped out. "You can come out now honey." She said waiting with baited breath. Lauren stepped out into the open her mouth open.

"Holy Shit. Where are we?" she said eyes wide a smile bright on her face.

"Our own little slice of Heaven. Someplace where it just you and me honey. For the next three weeks" Bo smiled happily pulling her wife in for a kiss. "Just me and my babies."

tbc...Bo and Lauren get settled. explore and have a talk.
