Chapter 10: Now off to the farm. Been busy lately with school and work. Hope you all enjoy the chapter Let me know!
"Love you too Bo" Tamsin said as she absently played with Bo's hair until she felt her breathing even out, she then knew Bo had fallen asleep and she closed her eyes and drifted off.
In the middle of the night Ava woke up from a bad dream. She was crying and shaking, waking Kenzi in the process.
"Ava, what's wrong?" Kenzi asked, gently touching Ava's shoulder and making her jump. "Ava, it's me Kenzi, what's wrong?"
Ava didn't respond so Kenzi got up and headed down to Bo's room to wake Tamsin.
"Tamsin. Wake up. Ava woke up crying and shaking and I can't get her to talk" Kenzi said shaking Tamsin's arm.
"Coming" Tamsin said sleepily as she untangled herself from Bo, put on some pants and a t-shirt before following Kenzi to her room.
"Ava, look who I brought" Kenzi said calmly as she and Tamsin entered Kenzi's bedroom.
"Hey monkey, it's me. What's wrong?" Tamsin asked going over to Ava. Ava clung onto Tamsin for dear life, and Tamsin hugged her tighter. Tamsin stood up with Ava and headed to Kenzi's bedroom door.
"Thanks Kenzi, I'll take her downstairs so you can sleep"
"Tamsin wait. If you want, I can go crash with Bo, and you and Ava can have my bed." Kenzi offered.
"It's ok, thanks though Kenzi" Tamsin said as she left with Ava and Kenzi went back to bed.
Tamsin sat Ava on the couch and went to the kitchen and got Ava a glass of water. Tamsin handed Ava the water, and told her to take a sip. When Ava was done, Tamsin put the glass on the table and Ava crawled into Tamsin's lap. Tamsin threw the blanket over both of them and wrapped her arms around Ava.
"Ok, so what's wrong huh?" Tamsin asked.
"I had a bad dream. It was scary and sad," Ava whispered.
"Want to talk about it?" Tamsin inquired. Ava recounted the tale, and Tamsin rubbed circles on her back.
"It's ok. It was just a dream. Nothing can hurt you" Tamsin said as she continued rubbing circles on Ava's back. Tamsin didn't realize Bo was coming down the stairs till Bo hit the squeaky step. Tamsin tightened her grip on Ava and turned her head in Bo's direction.
"Tamsin? What are you doing? Is everything ok?" Bo asked walking over to the couch. It was then Bo noticed Ava, curled into Tamsin under the blanket.
"You scared the crap out of me. I'm fine. Ava had a bad dream. How did you know I was down here?"
"I didn't, I rolled over and found you not there, so I decided to come look for you"
"Oh, well, it looks like Ava is asleep again. I'll put her back to bed in Kenzi's room then come meet you in your bed"
"No. You and Ava take my bed, and I'll crash with Kenzi"
"Bo…"
"Tamsin, I'm serious"
"Kenzi made me the same offer, and I turned her down"
"Well, how about this then. Ava comes up to bed with us," Bo suggested.
"You sure? This will be the second time the three of us have had to share a bed"
"Tamsin, I wouldn't have offered it I wasn't sure," Bo said smiling and kissing Tamsin.
"Alright. I just have to grab her stuffed animal. Thank you by the way"
"No worries" Bo said as she and Tamsin stood up. Tamsin carried Ava upstairs while Bo went and retrieved Ava's stuffed bear from Kenzi's bed. 10 minutes later all three were asleep in Bo's bed, with Ava and her stuffed bear in between Bo and Tamsin. The alarm on Bo's phone went off at 5:15 the next morning. Bo groaned and hit snooze. 5 minutes later it went off again.
"Ugh, Tamsin, we need to get dressed so we can get the kids in the cars" Bo said as she poked Tamsin, not realizing she had said 'kids'.
"Mmmm, did you say kids? As in the plural of kid?" Tamsin asked sleepily.
"I meant Ava and Kenzi" Bo replied.
"Right" Tamsin mumbled, not moving.
"I mean it, we need to get up" Bo said as she noticed Ava was curled up in a ball by the pillows. Tamsin opened her eyes and saw Ava and Bo.
"Ok, let me get dressed, and before we hit the highway, I need coffee." Tamsin said crawling out of bed.
"Deal. How can Ava be comfortable like that?"
"You'd be surprised. When she was a baby, she used to sleep on her stomach, with her knees pulled up and her butt in the air. Taryn sent me a picture of it once"
"Do you still have the picture?"
"Yup, it's in a secure place" Tamsin said as she got dressed.
"Ok, I'll go get Kenzi. Then we should be ready to go"
"Sounds good. Oh do you have a blanket or something I could borrow to cover Ava with in the car?"
"Yea, take whatever from the box at the foot of the bed"
"Thanks" Tamsin said as Bo left her room and headed up to Kenzi's.
Bo entered Kenzi's room and walked over to the bed.
"Hey Kenz, time to wake up. All you need to do is change. You can sleep in the car," Bo said as Kenzi mumbled something in Russian. Bo climbed into bed next to her bestie.
"C'mon Kenz, wake up. Don't make go all Succubus on you"
Kenzi stirred slightly. "Bite. Me." Kenzi said sleepily.
"Is that a request?" Bo asked laughing.
Kenzi glared. "I'm up"
"Good. Now get dressed, so you can walk to the car and fall back asleep in the car." Bo said as she climbed off the bed. Bo headed back down to her room, and grabbed her duffle bag, before making her way downstairs.
When Bo got downstairs, she found Tamsin sitting at the island with her head on the island and Ava asleep on the couch. Bo made her way over to the island. She brushed some of Tamsin's hair to the side before whispering into her ear.
"Hey babe. Wake up. We're going to go as soon as Kenzi comes down, which should be shortly," Bo said before she kissed Tamsin's cheek.
Tamsin opened her eyes and looked at Bo.
"You loo tired and like something is off. Are you ok?" Tamsin asked concernedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine" Bo replied.
"Want a snack before we go?" Tamsin offered as Bo's eyes glowed blue in response. Bo kissed Tamsin and withdrew a small amount of the blonde's chi.
"You can take more if you want or need" Tamsin said.
"I'm good. Thank you" Bo said kissing Tamsin again and wrapping her arms around the blonde's waist.
" Ava didn't make a peep or even move, when I picked her up and brought her down here" Tamsin said looking at Bo.
"She must have been exhausted from the zoo and I'm sure the nightmare didn't help"
"No, it didn't. She dreamed that everyone she loved got eaten by the lions at the zoo"
"That's awful!"
"Yea, so thanks for letting her sleep with us. She really needed that reassurance that we were ok"
"No problem. Ready to go see where I grew up?" Bo asked as Kenzi came down the stairs.
"You bet, but coffee first" Tamsin said going and picking Ava up from the couch.
"C'mon Kenz, almost at the car. How's the back?" Bo asked as they all made their way out of the crack shack and out towards their cars.
"Sore" Kenzi replied as she climbed into Bo's car. Tamsin buckled Ava into her truck and shut the door.
"Here are directions and a map to my mom's house" Bo said handing the items over to Tamsin.
"Thanks. Ok, here we go. You're doing the right thing," Tamsin said kissing Bo, before turning to climb into her truck. Bo climbed into the driver's seat of her car, and noticed Kenzi sound asleep with her head against the passenger window.
A/N: The next chapter will involve arriving at Bo's house in Grimly County. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Once this story is completed, I have two other Lost Girl Valkubus fics in the works. I'll start posting those once this one is done. Any ideas or constructive critiques are welcomed
