"I am so sorry doc." Kenzi says for the billionth time. "This is all my fault." she says pacing the floor frantically.

"It's not your fault Kenzi." I say, trying my hardest not to lose my nerve.

Bo and I had used the ashes travel agent to quickly get back to The Dal, we didn't take our things or check out. We wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. We were barely saying anything unless someone talked to us, and this is the most we have ever felt this afraid and helpless. "Do we know for sure who it could've been?" Trick asks. He was notified as soon as all of this started to happen and was offering any help he could give.

I run a hand through my hair, "Um, Bo and I think if it was anybody it would be Evony." Bo stands closer to me, she was struggling keeping her tears from falling. "She tried to take her the day Charlotte was born and I have a feeling that she wouldn't care about any rules that Hale has set in place."

"I say we stop wasting time and just go and pay her a little visit." Bo says squeezing my hand, "The more time we waste the more danger my little girl is in and I'm not resting until she is safe and back home with us." a few tears start to flow down her face. "It has taken way too long for me to find a family of my own and now that bitch is taking it away, I'm not having it."

I snake my hand around her waist and Hale steps forward, "Well as members of the Light we," he motion to hisself, Trick, and Dyson. "can't enter dark territory. But you two and Kenzi aren't aligned with anyone so..."

"So we can go lay a sweet ass ass whoopin all over their dark Fae asses?" Kenzi says pounding her fist into her palm.

"Not exactly Kenzi." Trick says. "If you three got to Evony I'm sure she wouldn't stand a chance, and that would just cause more trouble."

"Then what are we supposed to do Trick? Sit here and let god knows what happen to our daughter?" I am nearly yelling, I just want to get Charlotte back and continue on with our lives.

"Lauren I understand you and Bo's frustration," Dyson says.

"No actually you don't." Bo snaps. "Have you hade someone that is a part of you, literally, that was just as much of yourself as you were, you look into their eyes and see all of the love and devotion that got them here and then she just get taken away from you when you've barely gotten to know them yourself? Have you had that happen before Dyson?" Bo's eyes are blazing with emotion and she's squeezing my hand tightly. Dyson remains quiet. "That's what I thought, so don't you sit there and say you understand the frustration when it's clear you don't."

"Bo, he's only trying to help." Kenzi says gently. "We all just want to help. I do understand that you two are ready to get Char back, trust me I know. I feel like this is all my fault, so try not to take out your worry and aggravation out on us okay?"

Bo sighs and nods, "I know Kenzi. I'm sorry Dyson."

He waves his hand, "Don't worry about it." his voice gruff.

I sigh and my phone starts to ring, "Hello?" I say.

"Have you figured it out yet?" the woman asks.

"Figured what out?" I say staring at Bo confused.

"Well if you haven't figured it out then I guess we shouldn't be talking." the woman says again in a gruff voice.

Bo holds out her hand for the phone and I hand it to her, "Who is this?" she says. "Tamsin?" her eyes widen with shock. "Where is she?" there's a pause. "Tell me where my daughter is!" she yells before slamming the phone into the bar counter top. "She hung up." she says through clenched teeth.

"She's behind all of this?" I ask in shock and Bo nods, "Oh my god." I put my hands over my mouth.

"Woah wait who's Tamsin?" Kenzi asks.

"You remember that blonde stranger from the reception?" I say trying to processing everything. Kenzi nods, "She's a Valkyire, she said she was assigned to take one of us to the Ordin and then she kept showing up on our trip. Just this morning she interrupted us and said that she had lied to us, that somebody hired her to watch and protect us."

"Did she say who the employer was?" Hale says taking notes.

Bo shakes her head, "No, I figured it was you." she nods.

Hale shakes his head, "Alec was head of all of the security I sent, and there were no females on that team."

Bo sighs heavily and runs a hand through her hair, "Well she told me that she didn't know anything about what she was supposed to be doing except that it involved us."

"And what was her name?" Hale asks.

"Tamsin. I'm not sure if she's light or dark, she didn't say." I sigh heavily and lean into Bo.

"Bo, when she talked to you did she say anything that stood out to you?" Hale asks.

She shakes her head, "Other than she didn't know what her job was or why she was doing it, she didn't say anything that stood out." I clench my jaws and close my eyes, I'm trying so hard not to let my emotions get the best of me, but it's starting to bubble over. "She's a complete stranger to us." she sighs and looks at me, her eyes glowing bright as mine.

I put my face in my hands and walk out of the room crying, this was too much. My daughter, my two month old daughter, was in the possession of a complete stranger. The thoughts of what she could be doing to her or even planning to do to her just made me want to rip my heart out. "This is all my fault." I whisper to myself and flop down on Trick's sofa couch bringing my knees up to my chest and put my forehead on my knees.

I hear someone walk in but I ignore them, "Lauren?" Bo says softly and sits next to me. "Lo." she lifts my head up from my knees and wipes away some tears, "It's okay baby I'm right here." I wrap my arms around her neck and cry harder as she pulls me into her lap. "We will find her babe."

"What if we don't?" I sob harder. "She might be in more danger than we think."

Bo strokes my hair and rocks me back and forth, I could tell she was crying herself, "We have to stay positive Lo. That's the only way we are going to get our little girl back."

I kiss her shoulder and lean away from her, "What if we don't get her back Bo? We've barely had any time with her and she was just taken away. We should've waited for our honeymoon, until she was a little older." I sniffle and wipe away some of my tears. "This is all my fault."

Bo cups my face, "No this is not your fault, this is nobody's fault." I try and take my face out of her hands but she holds me in place. "We didn't know this was going to happen Lo." she sniffles. "We will find her and we will find out who did this, but we need to keep it together okay?"

I cup her cheek and wipe away some tears away, "Together?" I whisper.

"Together." She says firmly.

I am taken away by how much Bo and I have grown as a team and as individuals. A year ago we weren't as responsible or committed as we are now, we have grown together and that makes us stronger than ever before. "I love you."

Bo smiles lightly, shedding a tear, "I love you back." she says hoarsely and gives me a soft kiss on my lips. "Let's go back up there and come up with a plan okay?"

"Okay." I whisper. There was a task at hand and I didn't want to rest until we completed it.

Tamsin

"Jesus kid will you shut the hell up? Your succuparents will be here soon." she puts a bottle in Charlotte's mouth. "They can't resist this at all."

Charlotte throws the bottle and screams again, hitting Tamsin in the face, "Okay you're gonna get it if you keep that up. I only have to to lure them here, the boss needs them for a big job you know?" Charlotte just looks at her, "They won't be able to turn this offer down if I give you to Evony will they?" Tamsin puts the bottle back in Charlottes's carrier, "She'll have more tests run on you than a lab rat at a make-up factory."

Charlotte begins to cry again, she was in more distress than her parents were and the blonde woman threatening her and her family's life was scaring her. She just wanted her mommies and she wanted them now.

Lauren

"So the plan is, we locate this blonde bitch, once she is found Bo, Lo and Dyson go in detective style, then ninja Kenzi; that's me, swoops in gets little Char Char and then Hale will be waiting out for us." Kenzi says explaining her plan for the third time.

"I still don't know Kenz." Bo says. "I mean, we can't just bust in there, we don't know what this woman is capable of."

I step closer to Bo and lean against the bar, "She's right Kenzi, we need to know more about the Valkyires before we just attack."

Kenzi huffs, "Well you can't blame a girl for trying right?" she shrugs.

"Trick has some old Fae books that could help out in his lair." Hale points out. "I mean, any piece of info could help us out here."

Trick nods, "You may help yourself to anything you may need."

"Thank you Trick." I smile tightly.

"It's not a problem, I'll check with a few old friends that owe favors." he reaches over and places his hands in Bo and mine. "We'll find her okay? I'll go get the books."

I have to fight tears again and I nod once, "Thank you. Thank all of you." I say turning to look at my family.

"It's no problem doc, the munchkin is like my family and you have the Light's protection as I said before." Hale nods.

"Wait," Bo says coming out of her thought coma, "Hale, we had security sent with us on the trip." he nods once, "Then where were they when Tamsin kept showing up?"

Hale runs a had over his head, "That's a good question Bo, I'll do a briefing as soon as they all get back, see what went wrong."

"Good." Bo furrows her brow thinking again, "Kenzi!" she yells.

"What what what?" Kenzi says looking away from the food that Trick had say in front of her.

"What was Charlotte wearing when they took her?" Bo asks, suddenly perking up.

Kenzi thinks for a second, "Um, one of the outfits I made her, why?" Bo smirks at her and Kenzi puts both of her hands over her mouth and turns to dig in her bag. "BoBo you are a genius!" she exclaims.

"Why what's going on?" I ask confused.

Kenzi pulls out a small phone like device, "Kenzi you sneaky little human." Dyson says with a chuckle.

"What is it?" I say, aggravation raising.

"Kenzi here put tracking devices in all of the outfits she made Charlotte." Bo says with a smirk on her face.

"Lil Mama you are a genius." Hale says kissing her cheek.

Kenzi blushes and hands me the device, "The blinking dot is where she's been for over and hour or so. Before you freak out doc I got it as a precaution, ya know." she shrugs. "Just in case some Fae decides to go all cray, which has happened."

I throw myself at Kenzi and hug her tight, "Kenzi." I whisper tears falling again.

"Woah there doc." she tries to squirm
away, "you're stronger than you look."

I step away, "I'm sorry Kenzi I just, I can't believe that you remembered or even thought of this."

Bo comes up behind me and takes my hand, "She's a Russian spy that's why she has them." she winks.

"Well lets get going on this search so we can get the kid back." Dyson says walking out of the shadows. I had forgotten he was even here. "I have other things to do." he sighs.

"Do you not want to be here man?" Hale asks, just as offended as the rest of us.

"Yeah D-man, I thought you were gonna be cool with this since Trick broke the bond you had with BoBo." she folds her arms over her chest. "What's going on?"

Dyson scoffs, "Just because he broke the bond doesn't mean that I still don't have feelings." he looks at Bo and I automatically stand in front of her. "Look, I have no problem with helping find the kid, I just want to get it over with so I can get on with my life."

I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to control my anger, "You don't have to be here Dyson." I say through clenched teeth. "We didn't ask you to be here and quite frankly I don't want you here. All you've done is be a rude asshole for no reason." Bo lets go of my hand noticing my anger. "And if you ever had a shrewd of respect or love for my wife you wouldn't be treating her, me, or our child like just some stranger on the street. So how about you stay here, and don't interfere, because if I find out YOU'RE the one behind all of this you won't live very long. Got it?" I say flashing my eyes.

Dyson smirks and salutes to me, "Yes oh great all knowing Doctor." his face goes back into a hard line.

"What happened to you Dyson?" Bo asks stepping around me. "You used to be less of an ass, what happened?"

He takes a sip of his drink, "Oh ya know, broken heart, lied to, and cheated on, that kind of thing." he looks up at Bo with a cocked eyebrow.

Bo nods, "I'm sorry if I broke your heart but that's no excuse."

"Dyson how about you just go on a break." Trick suggests. "You haven't been yourself lately."

"Yeah man, take your vacation time you've got saved up, it might do you some good." Hale says patting him on the back.

"I'm just fine." he says gulping the rest of his drink down and grabbing his coat. "Call me when you need my help."

"If." Kenzi says, arms folded over her chest again.

"When." Dyson says again with a smirk before he walks out.

"What are we going to do with him man?" Hale asks Kenzi.

"I don't know but I'm gonna have his boy parts in a jar if her keeps it up." she says.

Bo turns around to me and brushes some hair out of my face, "How about we go home and take a nap, you look drained."

"Wait BoBo, I thought we were going after blonde." Kenzi says confused.

"No, not just yet. When we go we all have to be well rested and at our strongest, and neither of us have been sleeping all that much." I say running a hand through my hair.

"You two just want to knock bits." Kenzi says with squinted eyes.

"That's actually the furthest thing from our minds Kenzi." Bo says in a serious tone. "We really need sleep." I could tell she was in full plan mode and I let my mental guard down to spy in her head for a bit. Before I could make out what any of her thoughts were she shoots a look at me, "Lo stop picking my brain."

I blush, "Sorry, just wanna figure out what your feeling."

She grabs my face and kisses me softly, "Just ask, I'll tell you." she kisses me again softer than before.

I nod and turn my attention to Kenzi and Hale, "Well it looks like we meet up here at say six? Then we'll come up with a solid plan and go get our little girl back."

Kenzi salutes me and takes Hale's hand, "Sir yes sir."

I giggle and kiss her cheek as Bo and I walk to the door, "See later Kenzi."

"See ya doc." she nods.

I turn to Bo and wrap my arms around her waist. "Let's go get some shut eye." I yawn big.

"You need to relax first, so you soak in the tub, eat something, and then we will sleep." Bo says opening the camaro door for me. "I need you strong and fighting."

I smile tightly, "I always am."

Bo returns the same tight smile and closes my door, walking to her own. We both were in our own hell inside of our mind, I'm not sure if we would let out what we were feeling but I know that I would be able to get some rest and read a bit on the Valkyries. Charlotte would be at home tonight if I had to fight tooth and nail to get her back.

Bo

I feel like there's a hole in my chest, like someone has ripped out a part of my heart. My daughter isn't here to coo and flash her eyes at me or glue her eyes to Lauren while she explains some science molecule from one of her books. She's not here and I feel like I might never see her again. We don't know this woman and we definitely don't know what she's capable of.

"We have to go to my apartment." Lauren says softly as we make our way to the Crack Shack.

"What?" I say glancing over at her.

"There are some more books that could help us out." she says. "But they're at my place."

"Okay. Do you want to stay there tonight? I think I still have some clothes there."

Lauren smiles tightly, "Will you hold me?" she says, eyes glassy.

I pull her closer to me, "Forever and a little longer." I whisper and kiss the crown of her head.

When we get to Lauren's apartment I call Kenzi and tell her that we're going to stay here, "Okay BoBo. You remember where all of the hidden weps are?"

"Yeah Kenz, machete under the couch, dagger under the mattress, and the sword in the umbrella holder." I nod to myself.

"Disguised as an umbrella." I could hear the smile in her voice. "Be careful okay. And when you two are ready just gimme a call and I'll be right there."

"Thanks Kenz." I says softly.

"No problem sis, love you, now go get some rest."

"Love you too Kenz." I say with a smile before hanging up the phone.

I lock the extra locks on the door and find Lauren cuddled into herself on the couch. "Come sit with me?" she asks.

"How about we go upstairs, we can take a relaxing bath and then we can cuddle all night?" I say trying to lighten the mood a little.

Lauren nods and slides off the couch, "Could we order pizza too? I'm kind of hungry." she smiles faintly.

"Long as we don't tell Kenzi." I smile and grab her hand. "Go on up stairs ill handle the pizza and everything else okay?" She looks down at my left hand and smiles before a few tears fall, "What's going on in that head of yours?"

Lauren brings my hand up to her lips and kisses my ring finger, "Don't ever take this off okay? No matter what happens, never take it off."

I nod and kiss her forehead, "Never." she looks up and me and smiles, I wipe away her shed tears, "Now get upstairs and I'll be up in a minute, okay?"

"Okay." she nods and lets go of my hands. "Don't take too long."

"I won't." I smile as she walks up the I hear her close her bedroom door I call Kenzi again.

She picks up on the second ring, "Hey everything okay?"

"Yeah Kenz, everything's fine. You remember that surprise I told you to have ready when we got back." I ask.

"Yeah, it's in the downstairs closet, I was going to set it up tomorrow but you guys got here today so yeah." she says softly.

"Well is everything there?"

"Yeah BoBo why?"

"I want to make Lauren smile a little, I can fake it but she's not good at hiding her feelings." I say. "She has to have it just in case something happens, ya know?"

"Yeah babe I getcha. Well everything you sent from Egypt and a few extra things are there."

"Thanks Kenz." I say smiling slightly.

"No problem Bobolicious. Now I got a date so ttyl beyotch."

I giggle, "Bye Kenz."

I call the pizza guy and our pizza comes in record time. I pay the guy and put a few pieces on a plate, "Bo honey are you okay?" Lauren says slightly panicked.

"Yeah babe I'm fine, the pizza just got here, I'll be up in a sec." I say back.

Lauren closes the door again and I exhale heavily. Good thing she didn't come down here.

I grab the box and put the pizza on top of the box and the soda and plastic cups under my arms. Getting up the stairs was the hard part. "Babe open the door for me please." I say trying to balance everything.

Lauren opens the door and gasps, "What's all of this?"

I smile to myself, "The surprise I was talking on the phone to Kenzi about."

She takes the pizza and soda, "Bo you didn't have to do that." she says plainly and sits the food on the dresser.

"I know but I need you to have it just in case something happens." I say walking into the room and sitting the box on the bed. "It's just something I've been working on when you aren't around."

Her eyes widen, "You made me something?"

I nod with a smile, "Well I made part of it, the other part is something I bought while we were in Egypt."

Lauren finally smiles, "How did you get something for Egypt her so fast?"

I shrug, "Magic."

She walks over to me and wraps her arms around my neck, "So now your a wizard?"

I kiss her lips softly, "Only sometimes." I turn her around to face the box. "Go on open it."

She turns to look at me and I nod. "Alright." Lauren takes her fingers and carefully takes the wrapping off of the box, unlike Kenzi last time we gave her something. "This is a big box."

I clap my hands together and sit next to it. "Open."

Lauren smiles widely and opens the box, "Oh Bo." she says in awe. "It's beautiful." she pulls it out of the box and holds it out in front of her. "When did you have time to make this?"

"Well, when Kenzi insisted on separating us I had extra time to make it and the gem and light part, you can thank Kenzi for that." I smile.

I had made Lauren and paper heart that was the size of two human heads, in the middle was a blue and grey gem infused together with a crystal light blinking slowly behind it, "I figured I'd give you my heart figuratively and symbolically."

"Is this why you needed a jeweler so bad?" she smirks at me.

I nod and shrug, "It was pricey but for you it was worth it. Do you like it?"

Lauren looks at the heart again and starts to tear up again, "I love it."

"That's not all." I say widely and tilt the box towards her.

She reaches in and pulls out a manilla envelope, "What's this? Divorce papers already?"

I gasp, "No of course not! Just open it Lewis."

Lauren shrugs and opens the envelope pulling out a stack of papers, "What's this?"

"Look at the picture inside." I say smiling.

She tips the envelope over and a picture of a house falls out. She looks up at me, "Is this?"

"The house you've been bragging out for the past four months? Yes it is." I stand up and take the papers from her, there's a key taped on the back of the deed. "And it's ours."

Lauren puts her hands over her mouth and gasps. "Bo."

I smile wider, "You just have to sign here and the realtor will sign the deed."

"How did you afford this?" she says grabbing the key out of my hand.

"Trick had been saving up money for me since before I was born and he told me the night we got married that he had it transferred to a bank account for me." I say proudly.

"And you didn't tell me you were buying a house?" she hits me playfully.

I laugh and shake my head, "No, it was going to be a bigger surprise than this but I figured now was as good of a tile as any."

"Does Kenzi know?" she says raising an eyebrow.

I nod slowly, "Only because I'm not good with home decor and Kenzi's payments are cheaper than an interior designer's."

She slides onto my lap and wraps her arms around my neck, "When can we move in?" she asks hopeful.

"Soon as we get Charlotte back." I say softly cradling her on my lap.

It falls silent and Lauren slides away from me, "Well lets get rested and we can get on it, I want my life with my wife and child to start at some point."

"Yes doctor." I say pulling a smile from her. Lauren and I ate our pizza, relaxed in the tub, and took a nap. We agreed that we would only feed before we had to go and get Charlotte. Kenzi and Hale would be ready, and Trick would probably have some good news on where Charlotte was. We were going to be prepared and we WERE going to get Charlotte back.
