Chapter Three : Kicked Out Of The Closet

Bo stared at herself in the bathroom mirror her newly trimmed hair that now just barely made it past the bottom of her shoulder blades falling free and dripping just like the rest of her. Taking a deep breath she ran her hand through her hair to give it the messy on purpose look before looking over herself again straightening out her red with black trim laced bra with her matching reviling panties that were only one step above a thong in the covering aspect of things, before walking back out into the bedroom that was now dim with the exception of a few white candles on each bedside table. Upon hearing the down stairs door open she jumped onto the bed giving the clock a quick glance 1:15 a.m. Shaking off the thought of why she had arrived so late she laid on the bed propping herself up on her elbows spreading her legs waiting for a second before shaking her head and turning onto her side propping herself up on one elbow using her free hand to pull her bra down slightly, after all her motto was "always try cleavage first" before resting her hand on her thigh trying her best to be as seductive as she could.

"You like?" Bo asked, her voice low and husky as Lauren came to a dead halt in the door way her eyes widening at the sight in front of her.

"Oh God."

"Don't like?" she asked playfully yet seductively as she rolled onto her back slightly sitting up as she ran her hands up from her knees to the middle of her thighs.

"Sweetie we-OH MY GOD!" came a soft female voice from behind Lauren, Bo's mind spinning out of control very aware that not only was it a female voice or that it was almost one-thirty in the morning but at the fact of the affectionate reference to her girlfriend mixed with all other factors.

"What? What happened?" Bo shot up at the sound of a male's voice, her arms now folded across her stomach. "WHAO!"

"Umm?" the succubus couldn't help but let out as the older gentleman came into view.

"Who ever she is I like her," he said with a smile before leaning over slightly to the blonde lowering his voice just a little. "Who is she?" Lauren stayed frozen as she searched for words, an awkward silence coming over them until the lady emerged from behind Lauren pushing past her two company and walking over to the bed extending her hand to Bo who hesitantly took it.

"I'm Mrs. Lewis and you would be?" Bo felt her cheeks flush and her eyes widen sure if it were possible they would have popped out. Gently taking her hand back she reached behind herself pulling a pillow to cover herself.

"Ah, I'm Bo..."

"Is that short for something?"

"Babe, how about we go down stairs and give them a minute," Mr. Lewis recommended to his wife nodding before following him out leaving the two embarrassed women looking at each other.

"Oh my God!" Bo let out falling onto the bed using the pillow to cover her face.

"That um, sums that up," Lauren managed to speak still in a daze as she shut the door behind her. Walking to the bed falling face first onto the mattress next to Bo who was still hiding.

"I'm so sorry, babe. I was trying, we fought and I thought that..." She removed the pillow rolling over to her side gently brushing the hair out of her girlfriend's face. "I'm sorry. But I mean it could be worse they could-"

"They didn't know."

"They didn't know what?" she asked now running her hand up and down her back.

"They didn't know that I like, you. Well not just you, women."

"Oh. OH!" She let her head fall onto her back her arm wrapping around her waist. The two laid there in silence both minds running wild with their own fears.

"We have to go down there."

"Why? I think if we just hide up here long enough maybe they'll fall asleep."

"Yeah or think that we're doing something." She gently pulled away careful not to hurt the brunette. The two looked at each other their cheeks finally returning to normal, a soft smile from both as Bo kept her arm around the doctor's waist.

"Is it wrong I'm still kinda..."

"Ha. No. I kinda am too." She let out sheepishly in a small laugh.

"Think we have time?" she asked with a grin raising her eyebrow earning herself a playful kick. "Yeah didn't think so, damn."

Down Stairs

"She seems nice," Mr. Lewis said earning himself a glare as his wife sat down next to him on the couch.

"Yes I'm sure she is." She paused folding her legs properly. "One question though, why is she half naked in our daughter's bed?"

Bo was the first to walk down the stairs cautiously taking deep breaths sure she had never been so nervous in her life. She paused hearing Mrs. Lewis' question not sure if it was the question or just the woman in general who made her nervous. The woman looked good for her age and was very classy in her Gucci businesswoman's three piece suit which reminded her of a more up tight Lauren. Her hair a light blonde mixing with gray which on first glance you wouldn't even notice it was there, her hair unlike Lauren's had a slight wave to it. Her complexion was very close to the doctors, which complemented her blue eyes nicely.

She took another breath looking behind herself at Lauren who looked more worried than herself before her attention went back to Mr. Lewis who wasn't as intimidating. His attire very professional like his wife's, a Gucci, navy suit with matching tie, his complexion similar to her own. His hair a salt and pepper mix with his eyes brown made her think that's where Lauren must have gotten them from.

"Oh, hello," Mrs. Lewis greeted turning her attention behind herself as the two woman were walking into the room. "Everything alright, dear?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah?" she raised an eyebrow at her daughter as the two sat down on the opposite couch facing them.

"I'm sorry. I mean everything is fine. Just a slight, mix up."

"I see. And Bo was it?" The succubus nodded polity keeping her eyes on the table. "What exactly is your," she paused, "relationship to my daughter?"

"Oh um, I'm..." she trailed off her cheeks flushing as she looked to Lauren who's face had fear written over it.

"Well obviously a lack on the educational side here, hm?"

"Stephanie," Mr. Lewis said firmly his eyes dancing between the two woman who looked like two scared kids at the moment.

"Don't Stephanie me Lucas. This, woman was just naked on our daughter's bed in a compromising position that could only be described as touching herself. I think I deserve an explanation, don't you?"

Lauren kept her eyes on the ground her mind wondering off, her heart pounding deep in her chest as her stomach did cart wheels. Even though she was only half listening she got the gist of the conversation that began between her mother and father which primordially snarky remarks about Bo from her mother and her father trying to defuse the situation. Apart from feeling the couch shift over ten times in two minutes she could feel the anxiousness, shame, and embarrassment in her girlfriend's aura it wasn't a skill that she had really learned to use but there were times even though primarily sexually that she could feel how the succubus was feeling. Taking a breath she looked up to the brunette who looked like a puppy who had been kicked a couple times. Inhaling sharply she slowly extended her trembling hand taking Bo's in her own.

"Mom, Dad, this is Bo and she is, my girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" her mother asked in disbelief while her father tried not to laugh. "Are you sure?"

"Pretty sure, mom."

"Have you been listening to Katy Perry?"

"What?" she asked raising an eyebrow only making her father laugh harder.

"I heard that her song made quite a few women want to, experiment-"

"Mom. We are together. I promise, and it has nothing to do with Katy Perry. Me and Bo are, well," she took another breath, "we're in love," she let out trying to sound sure of herself while Bo couldn't help but smile to herself.

"Well, this is unfortunate," Mrs. Lewis replied silence falling over the group momentarily. Slowly she stood up straightening out her clothes glaring at Bo before looking to her husband. "Lucas. Let's go." He looked at her for a moment before following her lead shooting his daughter an apologetic look.

"Mom please?" Lauren pleaded standing up.

"Lauren compose yourself. We will discuss this at a later time," she responded before leading her husband out leaving a drained Lauren standing there. Waiting until she was sure they were gone Bo stood up wrapping her arms around the doctor's waist resting her chin on her shoulder.

"Thank you."

"For?"

"For standing up for us, for me." She placed a quick kiss to her neck before tightening the embrace Lauren leaning back into it. "It'll be okay."

"Maybe." She sighed taking a minute to compose herself before shifting herself in the embrace so they were face to face. "Let's not think about that right now."

"Okay, what do you wanna think about instead?" she asked softly.

"You." Her pain riddled face softening, a small smile peeking out. "And what your wear under there."

"Yeah?" she asked a smile of her own peeking out.

"Oh yeah." She leaned in to a soft kiss.

Bo/Kenzi's Apartment/Morning

"Hey! Get your porno make up on?" Kenzi asked as Bo walked into her room.

"Um, yeah and no. Definitely made up but the X-rated make sure your thinking about me instead'a Sasha when your training, didn't really happen." She paused kicking off her shoes off before laying down next to her friend. "Her parents showed up."

"What? Doctor Hotpants has parents?"

"Oh yeah! Walked in on me on the bed in porno posse. Best part?"

"Oh this gets better?" she asked sitting up looking down at her friend.

"They didn't know about Lauren. That was a fun talk that ended with her mom ordering them to leave. Needless to say I don't see this being a very pleasant trip."

"I'm sorry Bo-Bo," she tried to comfort while doing her best to suppress a laugh.

"I'm sure." The succubus rolled her eyes."You know she handled it really weird. At first she did that blacking out to her own world thing she's been doing recently and then she I don't know how to explain really, but at the end she told them about us, about me, which I might add was super sexy and I thanked her for it, a couple times."

"Eww! So not wanting the details."

"Sorry just with everything going on with us it was nice that she actually stood up for-"

"You?"

"Us. She never has a problem standing up for me it's us as a couple she's had some trouble with lately. But-" she was cut off but knocking at the door.

"Who the hell?" she asked confused as the two got up and headed for the door. "Our visitors equal two and both have keys." Bo walked into the kitchen grabbing a cup of coffee while Kenzi went to the door. "Can I help you?"

"Manors seem to be lacking as well as intelligence." The young girl raised an eyebrow at Mrs. Lewis before forcing a smile out and walking back toward the kitchen.

"Bo! Mommy in law is here."

"Please don't refer to me as that." Kenzi nearly jumped out of her skin at the woman's statement not realizing she had been followed in.

"Mrs. Lewis how goo-"

"Please don't pretend you like me nor have any type of pleasantness towards me. I am here for Lauren which is obvious she is not here."

"No she had som-"

"I do not need you to explain the details. After all it is almost ten a.m. I would assume she would be at work but considering I also assumed she was still interested in the male population I figured I would check with you first."

"I love how she says 'you'," the succubus complained as she took a sip of her coffee her girlfriend's mother already making her exit.

"That is one scary Martha Stewart," Kenzi blurted out.

Ash's Compound

Bo and Kenzi made their way into the gym along the bleachers to where Sasha stood in her normal workout clothes arms folded across her chest tapping her foot on the mats. In the middle of the floor Lauren back in her black work out outfit matching Sonya's and across from them two men standing at attention.

"Whats the hub-bub-bub?" Kenzi asked the agitated leader.

"Alright chickies I'ma be straight with ya. I know that Lauren here has some, ability." She took a second looking around the room. "What we are going to see now is just how much ability she has. Sasha, Bo, tiny human. Do not interfere." She turned her attention back to the woman in front of her. "Let's go," she ordered but the blonde didn't move. "Alright." Huffing out she back handed Lauren causing her to stumble back, extending her leg delivering a blow to her stomach sending her doubling over to the floor. "Get your ass up." Bo felt Sasha's hand grab her arm, shaking her head. "Get up." She kicked the blonde in the ribs. The blonde spit out a small amount of blood hitting her hands down on the mat in frustration and pain. Leaning down Sonya reached around wrapping her hand around the doctor's throat. "I know you can do something more than bleed, sweetheart." Tightening her grip she threw the woman to the side.

"Lauren?" Bo yelled as she broke from Sasha's hold running over to them Sonya stepping in to block the way. "You're gonna kill her!"

"What are you stupid? Your little girlfriend here isn't as fragile as you think, not anymore." She looked behind herself at the blonde who was panting on the ground. "And let's be honest sweetie if I wanted to I could brake every bone in that beautiful body of her's and there isn't a damn thing you could do about it."

"You think I'd let you?"

"You think you can stop me?" She laughed before turning and walking over to Lauren going to kick her in the face until Bo intervened pushing the woman back.

"Bo no!" both Sasha and Kenzi called out in union running toward the situation at hand the two guards jumping a good fifty feet in the air over the three landing in front of the two approaching women. Kenzi easily getting detained Sasha almost just as easy being pushed onto the bleachers.

"Hm, you love her right?" Sonya asked looking at Lauren as she held Bo by the throat. "Maybe this will get you to play." She slapped Bo with her free hand before throwing her back. Lauren sat there doubled over watching as the smaller of the guards handled Kenzi and the larger one was giving Sasha enough trouble. Looking over she watched the new comer whaling on the succubus, it was nowhere near the damage she knew she could inflict. Closing her eyes she tried the calm her breathing, the sick feeling in the pit of her stomach as her options ran through her mind.

"Lauren don't," Sasha ordered but it was too late the blonde had a fist full of Sonya's hair pulling her back followed but a quick knee to the ribs and then a right hook, the Fae finally catching her footing pushed Lauren back. A smile over her face as she wiped the blood away.

"That's it sweetheart." She jumped up in the air with her fist pulled back ready to hit but to everyone's surprise Lauren caught the fist with her left hand her right grabbing her throat slamming her down onto the ground maneuvering herself so she was straddling her all in one swift movement. She raised her hand landing three punches before both Bo and Sasha gabbed an arm and pulled her off. "What do you know, you lied." She laughed out wiping blood away again with a grin of accomplishment the two woman looking at Lauren as they released their grip surprised to find the doctor's eyes a light green out lined with a dark shade.

"Shit," The Ash whispered under her breath.

"Babe?" Bo rested her hand on her girlfriend's shoulder giving her a quick once over.

"Just cause you run doesn't mean this is over!" Sonya yelled out after Lauren who took off running causing her three friends to follow calling after her even though they were unable to catch up to her until they reached the outside corridor the doctor spinning around to face Sasha.

"This was supposed to be over," she almost growled which was enough to make her keep her distance even though her eyes were back to their normal color. "What am I?"

"I don't know."

"Liar! What am I?"

"Lauren I've been right here with you the whole time."

"And you've never lied to us," Kenzi huffed out rolling her eyes at the Fae.

"Tell me what's happening to me." she pleaded tears forming in the corner of her eyes. "Am I Fae?"

"I don't know."

"Am I even human?"

"Lauren I don't know! I swear to God I don't know. When they came for you and did their own investigation I did mine because I knew it would be the only time I could. The only time it wouldn't raise a question. And I came up with the same they did, nothing. But everything dissipated Lauren. You haven't showed anything. Heightened strength, able to replenish chi? It was a good thing. I stopped worrying."

"Good? This is good to you? I don't even know what I am! What I feel!"

"It was good because we didn't have to worry about you being alone any more, you could protect yourself. You could heal yourself enough so that you could have this damn relationship that you want so bad! I didn't know there was anything else! I just wanted you to be happy! To be safe! Dammit I love you! Don't you see it! Everything I've done!" she stopped surprised at her own words her own tears playing at her eyes. "You're not Fae but your also not human, your-"

"Nothing, she let out in defeat tears slowly falling as she let her gaze fall to the ground unable to look at the Fae nor at her girlfriend who she could feel the anger rising in.

"No. No." She took a step closer grabbing Lauren by the upper arms making Bo step in shoving her back. "Don't touch me child," she ordered what was left of her tears falling as her eyes transformed to their empty form.

"Bo," Lauren let out in a whisper pulling her away. "If Sonya wants me she can have me. But right now I have to find my mother before she finds me." She started to walk away hand on Bo's back more as a precaution then an affectionate jester.

"Your mothers here?" she asked flatly, but didn't get a response only a glare from Kenzi as she was the last one out.

"Well that was touching. If I had feelings I'd be jealous." The Ash let out a low growl turning to Sonya who stood in the door way.

"What do you want?"

"Liberty. Justice. World peace. Wait, wait that's my answers for when I win the Miss America pageant-"

"Sonya," she growled again scowling.

"I don't want anything. I'm just doing my job. Something you should consider doing if you wish to keep it."

"Do not threaten me. I'm twice your age."

"Maybe. But your weak and I don't mean that by just your lack in judgment falling for a human or whatever it is she is now. By the way may wanna tell Bo to stop feeding her might slow down the deterioration." She paused leaning against the door frame grinning taking more than a normal amount of pleasure from this. "You were never anything special. You were only able to kill your brother for the fact that he was so in love with himself he never considered the idea he could lose made him sloppy. And Syra? I don't know how you pulled that off. Maybe she was softer then I thought, couldn't kill her baby sister."

"Shut your mouth before I shut it for you."

"You may be older love, maybe one of the last descendents to the Ancients, maybe in a position of power," Sonya trialed off strutting from her position to the Ash. "But we both know that at the end of the day I am more powerful and a better fighter. You expect Bo to what glare me to death? She wouldn't last a second with me and you. I'd give you maybe a minute and that's because of our history." She leaned in, her voice lowering as two male Fae passed by not more than twenty feet away. "Your father wants you and the succubus dead along with the blood king."

"My father can't touch me."

"No. But an out of control half breed can. She's weak Sasha she slipped once, she will again you know it. By the way very convincing speech, lying is like breathing to you isn't it?" She pulled back winking at her before starting to walk past shooting the males a smile as she smacked the other woman on the ass.

Bo's Bedroom

"Baby it'll be okay," Bo said kneeling in front of Lauren between her legs, the blonde's hands in her own. "Just breathe."

"It's not okay Bo. None of this is okay. Stop telling me everything is okay. I don't want to hear the word okay from you again for a very, very long while."

"Oka—alright." She nodded, smiling gently.

"This—it's just too hard. What am I gonna do about my mother? What am I? That's just it, what am I? I don't even think I'm human any more. I feel, different lately."

"Human. Fae. Frankenstein. I love you. We've got this."

"How can you be sure? Sonya is probably on her way here now with her death squad."

"She's not."

"How do you know?"

"As much as it pains me to say, Sasha won't let that happen. And even if Miss. Physco does come here I won't let anything happen to you or I'll die trying, one of the two."

"That's the problem Bo. That's why I wanted you out of this. I—the thought of you dying I-"

"Hey. It's not gonna happen," she reassured her tightening her grip. "Besides if I'm gonna die I'd rather it be for you than anyone else." She raised an eyebrow as the blonde chuckled.

"That's, really romantic in an odd way."

"I was just thinking that actually." The couple stared at each other for a moment before sharing a laugh.

"Maybe we could get those grave stones that are side by side. Then we'll really do the whole forever thing. Can't really get much more committed than that."

"Oh shut up," the succubus ordered playfully moving her hands to the woman's stomach starting to tickle her as she fell back onto the bed the woman following.

The Ash's Office

Sonya stood behind the two "guards" hand resting on each of their chairs as they shuffled through papers, her eyes locked on The Ash's empty chair.

"She's late," the smaller of the two complained.

"It does not matter. Sasha is a matter for Sonya. We need to get back and report the doctor is a threat."

"Most unfortunate," she let out in a sigh.

"What is?" the larger male asked closing his folder. Before he could turn he like the man next to him found a small, soft hand over their mouths. A quick flick of the wrist and both fell limp in their seats, their paper work falling to the floor.

"This." She ran her eyes over the two shaking her head before walking to the door, opening it up just enough to slide out.
