A/N: Thanks for all the love so far.
Something to address quickly…a few people have been wondering about why Bo isn't looking for Lauren and if Bo or the fae will find Lauren…this story will be as close to the movie as I can make it. Bo won't be the hero in the story I'm afraid, she might even seem out of character at some points just so I can make it like the film and like Lost Girl. The story will also continue for a while after Lauren returns home, unlike the movie, so I need to build the plot up for that.
Enjoy.
DAY 254
BPOV:
RING…RING…RING
"No."
RING…RING…RING
"The fuck is that." I groan lifting my head slightly off my pillow and reach around for my ringing phone in the dark. I squint at the light from my bedside clock and groan when I see 4:24 shining back at me.
"Hello?" I huff into my phone and listen to the voice on the other end speak in a hurried voice.
"WHAT?" I screech sitting up in my bed. "Now? Like right now?"
I hop out of my bed and scramble around for the clothes that I threw around my room when I got into bed. "Okay give me 15 minutes and I'll be right there." I hang up my phone, throw on my jeans and shirt. I run into the living room and smack my toe on the table. "Shit, shit, shit, shit shit." I hiss ignoring the pain and putting on my shoes and running out the house and to my car.
I make it the hospital in record time. "It's really happening?" I ask Dyson who's pacing in the waiting room with Trick sat not far away.
He turns to me with a smile. "It is she's in there right now."
"Well it's about time, this baby's been giving us the run around. You know how she is?"
"Sadly not, she went in an hour ago and we've not heard anything yet." Dyson tells me as I join them on the seats. Today is the day, the day Kenzi is giving birth to baby.
"Where's Hales family?"
"No idea, Hale told Dyson he rang to tell them but didn't get much of a response back." Trick tells me while handing over a cup of hot coffee.
"Ooooh thank you."
"Yeah you looked like you needed it." Dyson teases.
I give him the finger and relax back against the rock-solid chairs. "So just a waiting game."
"Yep." Dyson nods taking a seat next to me. "You wanna hear about my new case?"
"Sure…I've got time."
.
.
.
"Ugh my back." I groan stretching out. My god hospital chairs are not comfortable at all, it's weird because you think it would be because of how many people use them.
"It can't be much longer now, we've been here 3 hours and Hale said she was 5cm dilated when he called me." Dyson says coming over to me. "So, how've you been? We've not spoken in a while."
"Yeah sorry about that, I've been busy with the new search team Hale hired."
"Yeah, he told me about that, how's it going?"
"Not bad, but still no results." I shrug trying to keep myself calm.
"I'm sure something will turn up Bo." He says patting my hand.
"Thanks Dyson."
"You know I never thought I'd come around to the idea of you and Lauren being together." He says after a moment of silence. "For so long when we danced around each other and then when I finally figured out what I felt, I thought that would be it for me and you, together forever."
"Dyson."
He cuts me off and continues. "But I remember when Trick put on a St Paddy's party at the Dhal and I've never seen you so free and happy…all because of Lauren."
FLASHBACK
"HAPPY ST PADDYS DYSON." Hale shouts at me as soon as I enter the Dhal.
"Thanks Hale." I grin accepting the pint of Guinness that he shoves into my hand.
"What took you so long?" He asks.
"Just had to finish up some cases, I didn't think the party would be this crazy by now." I laugh looking around the bar. First, I spot Kenzi who is sat on the bar banging on the surface and singing along to the current song playing while Trick pours a tonne of shots for her and the others gathered around.
"Where's Bo?" I ask not spotting her anywhere.
"With the Doc." He says nodding to the far corner.
I look over and see Bo and Lauren by the pool table. Lauren is lining up her next shot wearing a big green hat and a ginger beard, while Bo is hanging all over her, trying to put her off the shot. Lauren hip bumps Bo away from her and sinks the ball, spins around to Bo and does some ridiculous celebratory dance, causing Bo to crack up laughing. Lauren grins at Bos laughter before placing the green hat on her head and brings her in for a deep kiss.
"They look happy right." Hale says smiling softly at the two.
"Yeah, they really do." I nod watching them pull back from the kiss and just stare into each other's eyes.
"Come on brother, let's get some of those shots." He says pulling me over to Kenzi.
FLASHBACK END
"And you've not been apart since." Dyson smiles.
"Well, until now."
Dyson completely turns to me and looks me square in the eyes. "Lauren is coming home Bo, she is coming home."
"It's nearly been a year Dyson, how the fuck haven't we already found her." I sigh.
"I can't answer that, but don't they say no news is good news?" He asks hopefully.
"Not in these situations I don't think, but I know she's alive…I just know it."
"So do I." Dyson nods.
We both talk about other things to bring the mood back up, this is supposed to be a happy day, we get a new baby into the family and that's what we all have to focus on. We chat with Trick for a while about the new ideas he's having for the bar.
"Heads up." Trick calls to us. We look over and see Hale appearing out some double doors.
"Anyone want to meet my daughter?" He grins.
"A girl." Dyson cheers running towards Hale and bringing him into a tight hug.
"How's Kenzi?" I ask after giving him my own hug.
"She's amazing, they both are." He tells us leading the group down a few hallways. He opens a door slowly and we're all greeted with the sight of Kenzi sat up in bed with a small pink bundle cradled in her arms.
"Oh my god." I whisper quietly going to her side. "She's beautiful." I say when I get a good look at her.
"I know, she's a good eater also…already living up to her Santiago name" She winks looking to Hale who just stares down proudly at his girls. "You want a hold?"
I hesitate as I take in the little cutie snuggled up to her mother. "Oh, I don't know, she's sleeping."
"Come on, she's got a belly full, there is no way this girl is waking up." Kenzi smiles holding the baby up to me.
I soon cave when that little face gets closer to me and gently lift her into my arms. "She's so tiny." I smile as she snuggles closer to me. I hear Dyson coo over my shoulder as he stares down at the girl in my arms.
"Congratulations brother." Dyson says walking over and bringing Hale in for a second hug before giving Kenzi a kiss on the cheek. "So, what do we call this little lady?" He asks looking between them both.
"Well we both thought long and hard about it but when we found it we just knew it was perfect." Hale says before nodding to Kenzi to announce her name.
"Everyone please welcome to the family Ava."
"Aww little baby Ava." I grin down at her.
"Ava Lauren Santiago." Kenzi say holding her tears back.
"Really?" I whisper.
"Only the best for our girl." Hale nods taking a seat next to Kenzi.
"It's perfect." I say coughing as I fight my own back.
"It really is." Trick says rubbing my back.
I look down at Ava Lauren Santiago and find myself falling in love with this little girl already. "Well Ava I'm your Aunty Bo and I can honestly say you have me wrapped around your tiny little finger already, I'm going to buy you everything you ask for…even if your parents say no." I grin at them both causing Kenzi to laugh, and Hale roll his eyes with a smile playing on his lips. "And you have an Aunty Lauren out there, she's not here right now, but when she comes back she will be so happy to meet you baby girl. You are so loved." I whisper before giving her a kiss on the head.
