ComingHome

"We have to find Lauren. She needs to hear what we have to say as well." Trick said to the four still in the bar.

"She couldn't have gotten too far. She just walked out." Kenzi said.

"I'll be right back." Tamsin said as she headed out but was stopped as Bo grabbed a hold of her arm.

"Let me get her." Bo said surprising Tamsin.

"If you think I'm going to leave you alone with my girlfriend you are crazier than I thought." Tamsin said to Bo.

"It's not like that." Bo started. "I know what it feels like to have your life turned upside down. I know what it feels like to find out you are not who you thought you were and I know what it feels like to find out people have been keeping secrets from you." Tamsin just looked down ashamed. Bo continued "I don't know exactly what is going on or what happen downstairs but I can tell Lauren was upset with whatever it was that you two told her. I can also tell that this Lauren isn't the same Lauren from a few weeks ago. Just let me go get her." Bo was sincere with her words.

Tamsin nodded. "Fine but if I find out you tried anything with her I will rip those fun bags you call breast right off of your chest and feed them to the hounds."

"Noted." Bo said as she walked out of the bar.

Kenzi looked over to Dyson who was struggling to his feet. "Maybe you should stop messing with her wolf man."

"She has no right to keep attacking me." He grunted as he lifted himself off the floor.

"Well then maybe you should stop asking for it." Kenzi said with a giggle. Tamsin chuckled as well. She liked seeing the wolf suffer at the hands of her girlfriend.

Once Bo walked out of the Dal she could see traces of Lauren's aura leading away from the bar. She knew it was Lauren's, it had the golden color only Lauren had but this time it also had traces of emerald mixed into it. This was the first time she saw anyone's aura leave a path of any kind. She followed it all the way to a park a few blocks away from the Dal. There she saw the beautiful blonde that still had her heart sitting on a swing. She noticed the blonde wiping away tears and her heart broke when she noticed the usually calm doctor crying her worries away. Bo quietly walked next to Lauren.

"Need a push?" Bo asked with a caring smile on her face.

Lauren looked up at her. She wiped the tears out of her eyes. "How'd you find me?" she asked

"I followed your aura." Bo said as she sat down on the swing next to Lauren.

"My aura? You can follow auras." Lauren asked a little confused.

"Only yours." Bo answered. "It's pretty powerful...and hypnotizing."

Bo just stared at Lauren longingly. She wanted so much just to take Lauren and run away from whatever it was that got her so upset. She wanted them to start a new life together. She always believed that Lauren would always be there waiting for her. She only realized now how stupid she was to take Lauren for granted. She had her and threw her away. Tamsin was there and had Lauren's heart now.

It had been silent for a while before Lauren decided she would start the conversation. She was swaying herself on the swing a little as she started talking. "You know ever since I came to be a slave of the light my life has been one big lie." She chuckled lightly. "Do you know my parents think I'm dead?" Bo was shocked o hear this bit of information. Lauren continued. "Oh yeah. They think their only child is rotting away in a cemetery and I can't do anything about it." Tears were flowing down Lauren's cheeks.

"Lauren I'm so sorry." Bo said as a tear escaped her eye.

"Everything I've ever had, everything I've ever wanted has been ripped away from me because of the fae. My parents, Nadia, you." Lauren finally looked at Bo. Bo could see the hurt in Lauren's eyes. She felt disgusted with herself. "I will never have the chance to live a happy life." Lauren said, the words sunk into Bo and stung. "Forget about normal. I gave up on normal years ago but I never gave up on happy... until now. Every time a bit of happiness comes my way a storm comes to wipe it away."

"Lauren," Bo started "you are an amazing woman. You are beautiful, funny, scary smart and you love with every inch of your soul. I was stupid to ever let you go." Bo looked up to Lauren with pleading eyes. "Especially since I am still in love with you."

"Bo-"

"No Lauren just let me finish." Bo said cutting Lauren off. "I had you. I had all of you and I took it for granted. I hurt you and I hate myself for it. I was too selfish to see my happiness was hurting you. Then Dyson tells me he has his love back and I drop everything to go to him and be by his side. I never once thought twice about it, until I saw you with Tamsin. It hurt so much seeing you with someone else and to see how your aura reacted to someone who wasn't me."

"Did you think I was going to wait for you until the end of time?" Lauren asked. She got no response from Bo. "God Bo you can't be that selfish to think you can have it all. I won't be anyone's second choice. I won't be an afterthought. Not to anyone, not anymore."

"I was stupid to ever let you go. You were never my second choice or an afterthought. You were always the only one. I just didn't notice it until it was too late." Bo said her eyes were stinging with the threat of tears falling from them. "You love her, don't you?"

"Yes." Lauren answered without hesitation. It surprised the both of them. "Do I really love her? It's only been a few weeks." Lauren thought to herself. Could it be possibly only after few weeks of hooking up and hanging out? A smile crept on to her face as she thought about it. "Yes I really love her." She said out loud.

Bo's heart shattered into pieces. "Then I'm happy for you." she said through tears.

Lauren then realized what she confessed to and who she confessed it to. "Oh Bo, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean-"

"To find someone who actually deserves you." Bo cut Lauren off. Her tone wasn't harsh but disappointed.

Lauren just stared off not knowing what to say. "It's ok Lo. I can't be mad that she became your happiness. You deserve every bit of happiness and I want that for you. Even if it isn't me making you happy. Just promise me one thing."

"What is it?" Lauren asked.

"We can stay in each other's lives. I may not be able to have all of you but I still want and need you here with me." Bo thought she was sounding a bit desperate. "I promise I'll try my hardest not to make a move on you. We'll just be friends. If that's ok with you."

Lauren looked at Bo and could sense how genuine Bo was being. She didn't want them to stay mad at each other forever. It was getting tiring. She really did miss Bo being around. She was a good friend to her. "It's ok with me."

Bo got up from her swing and engulfed Lauren in a tight embrace. Lauren hugged her back and she felt a weight lifting from her shoulders. They pulled out of each other's arms. "Oh," Bo started "but if she ever hurts you or treats you wrong in anyway I swear on my blood oath I will tear her limbs off her body and scatter them across the planet for other Valkyries to find."

"Noted." Lauren said with a smile on her face.

Lauren and Bo walked back into the Dal to hear a shouting match happening between Dyson and Tamsin.

"She is a human you are a Valkyrie. What were you thinking?" Dyson asked Tamsin

"Don't think you are so high and mighty Dyson. You have no right to think you are any better than her." Tamsin said angrily.

"I'm fae she is human. That is my right." Dyson started shouting.

"Well that human has helped your kind more ways then you have. She has saved many of our kind over and over again and for what? To have everything taken away from her. To be treated like shit. She has helped our kind and now she needs our help. It's our turn to help her."

"You have another thing coming if you thought I will help her with anything." Dyson shouted at Tamsin.

"I don't need your help wolf. I will protect the woman I love without you. I will protect her by any means possible." Tamsin shouted back.

Lauren could tell Tamsin wasn't lying when she said she loved her but she could also tell that Tamsin was about to flip she rushed from Bo's side to go to Tamsin and calm her down. She gently rubbed down Tamsin's arm. Tamsin immediately reacted to Lauren's touch and turned to Lauren. She immediately gave Lauren a longing kiss. Bo had to look away. She didn't want her succubus to react.

Lauren and Tamsin rested their foreheads against each other. "I'm sorry Lo." Tamsin whispered into Lauren's lips.

"Do you really love me?" Lauren whispered back.

"Does my little genius not know that already?" Tamsin joked. They both laughed. "Yes I love you."

"I love you too." Just as Lauren said that both of their necklaces started to glow. The glow engulfed both blondes and they were lifted into the air. A gold and emerald light shot down into the both of them. Everyone else in the Dal was frozen in place. The Pegasus and Raven lifted up from their necks and in a flash of light the spirits of an enormous Pegasus and Raven flew around the two blondes. It looked like they were almost dancing around the blondes and through their bodies. Once the spirits finished the light was soaked in by the blondes and they were gently placed back down. Their eyes were both glowing emerald green. They looked at their spirits who then bowed their heads and shot back into the necklaces.

"That was awesome." Kenzi jumped up once she was able to move. "What was that?"

"They have accepted each other as soul mates." Trick answered. "They are now whole again."

"Wait, soul mates." Bo whispered. Kenzi was the only one to hear her. She could see the pain across Bo's face and it hurt to see her best friend hurting.

They then looked to Trick who was now kneeling down to Lauren and Tamsin. Dyson seemed to grow angrily at this. "You are the Blood King. You kneel to no one."

"Not now Dyson. Put your ego away and kneel to your goddess Eir." Trick almost shouted.

Dyson's eyes grew wide in horror. "That's not possible."

"Oh but it is wolf." A man said as he walked into the bar. Everyone looked at him not really sure who he was. "You will kneel to my daughter."

"Odin?" Trick and Dyson asked.

The blonde man just smiled.

"Can someone please tell us what the hell is going on?" Bo asked.

"Yeah inquiring minds would like to know what just happened." Kenzi added.

"My daughter has finally come back to me." Odin said as he looked at Lauren who was too shocked to say a word.

"I've been searching for her ever since Loki took her from me. She is the only kin I have left. She is a part of me that I had lost forever, until now that is." Odin said still looking at a shell shocked Lauren.

"So who is Eir?" Kenzi asked.

"My daughter. This beautiful child standing right here." Odin said gesturing towards Lauren.

"How?" Bo asked.

Tamsin cut in before Odin could answer. "I'm sorry to interrupt this game of twenty questions my lord but your daughter needs our help."

"What do I need help with?" Lauren asked.

Tamsin looked to Odin who answered. "Loki. He will be coming for you. The both of you." He said to Tamsin then looked at Lauren. "You have died as a noble warrior in each of your lives which protected you from him along with this necklace." He said holding up the Pegasus. "But now he can sense your power and the fact that you found your soul mate has made you even more powerful. He will stop at nothing to see the both of you suffer."

"But why did you ask me to bring her to you?" Tamsin asked.

"I thought it was the only way to keep her safe and make her whole again. I didn't know you would be her soul mate in this life time. I thought for sure it would be the succubus and you would have to wait another life time to find my Eir." Odin said to Tamsin. He then put a gentle hand on her shoulder. "But I am very glad it is you and she didn't have to die again in order for us to reunite."

Tamsin smiled and felt a sense of pride. She was in love with Odin's daughter and he accepted it. "We will have to prepare for Loki's arrival I will not let him get another chance of taking you away from me again my dear Eir." Odin said as he gently lifted Lauren's chin.

"My name is Lauren." Lauren said. She didn't know what to make of any of this and she didn't like not knowing things. "And I'm sorry but I already have a father and a mother as well. They were very good to me and I love them very much."

Odin was a bit hurt by this but he couldn't blame his daughter. "I'm very sorry Ei...Lauren. I understand if this is too much too soon. Tamsin." He called over to the Valkyrie. "As her soul mate you will protect my daughter and when she is ready bring her to me along with the rest of your little gang so we can prepare to fight and defeat Loki." Tamsin only nodded. "I will see you soon my daughter." He said to Lauren then disappeared in a flash of light.

As soon as Odin left Tamsin was right by Lauren's side. "Hey babe how are you feeling?"

"Like I need a drink." Lauren said as she led them to the bar.
