A.N: Yay update

Lauren felt Bo move from feet away before the Succubus was there; tearing her father away from her and tossing him clear across the room into a wall.

Lauren let out a yelp and searched Bo's eyes for the electric blue that would indicate the Succubus had taken over but was met with furious, beautiful brown. Her girlfriend strode forward with a dark snarl as her father began picking himself up from the floor.

Bo seized his hair and bellowed, "Did you know!?"

Russell let out a grunt, "Get off-"

Bo shook him violently as her eyes flashed blue before she asked again, quieter this time, and infinitely more threatening, "Did. You. Know?"

Russell shook her off as he stood to his full height, "Did I know what?!"

The question seemed to infuriate Bo further as she lunged forward again and wrapped a hand around his throat, "Did you know Lauren was alive?! Did you know she was enslaved by the Light Fae?!"

Lauren's whole body tightened as she snapped her worried eyes from Bo to her father who was glaring at Bo as if he'd like nothing more than to smash his fist into her face, "I don't answer to you Succubus."

Lauren sagged, knowing the non answer was as good as a yes, even as her mother and Lucy yelled out.

Lucy voice carried well above her mother's as she shrieked, "Did you!?

While her mother had gone ash white with fury as a fireball lit her hand, "Russell?"

Her father, the towering man who'd been her hero in her youth and a figure of fear as she'd grown older growled as he flicked his wrist and sent Bo soaring away from him, smashing her body into the far wall with a sickening thud.

"BO!"

"BOBO!"

Lauren's feet came unglued as she bolted to Bo's side. She turned Bo over gently and felt her throat close up as she saw the gushing cut on Bo's forehead. She prodded the wound gingerly and flinched before turned a poisonous glare on her father even as she addressed Kenzi.

"Skull fracture…" She cupped Bo's cheek and breathed out, "Bo?"

Kenzi knelt next to her, "She can heal from this, right?"

Lauren nodded as she dug a knuckle into Bo's chest hoping to rouse her, "Bo, honey?"

After a tense, silent moment Bo let out a load groan, "Ow…"

Lauren let out sigh of relief and exchanged a grin with Kenzi as she pressed a hand on Bo's shoulder to keep her from sitting up, "Lie still baby, you have a skull fracture and in all likely-hood a concussion."

Bo nodded and asked a little foggily, "Did your dad throw me?"

Lauren hummed, "He did." She shot another glare at her father who stared back impassively before she turned back to Bo, "Hale was right about you picking fights with unknown Fae Bo."

Bo frowned as she struggled to focus her slightly glazed eyes, "He knew you were alive Lauren, he knew you were a slave… I should shove one of Kenzi's six inch boots up his ass."

Kenzi huffed, "What did my pretties ever do to deserve that BoBo?"

She was ignored as Lauren spoke, "I know Bo. I know. We'll have this discussion a little later but for now just sit tight."

She stood smoothly and stepped up to stand toe to toe with her looming Father, "Unbind me. Now."

He frowned down at her, "Lauren…"

Her hands curled into fists almost against her will and felt the slight stickiness of Bo's blood still clinging to them before she snarled, "Now Dad! You nearly killed Bo! I need access to my full abilities to heal her."

He opened his mouth to speak before something mean and amused glinted in his eyes as he nodded, "Of course Princess."

He pressed a hand to her forehead and began a low chant, in a very dead language that seemed to dance from his tongue almost musically.

As his eyes glowed amber a wash of power seeped into her bones. Wave after wave of energy pulsed in her veins as it flooded not from him, but from somewhere buried deep down inside of her.

She closed her eyes for a long moment and then snapped them open as her power exploded out from her as her father tore his hand from her forehead as her skin burned red hot.

She turned from her father and paused as her mother, Lucy, Kenzi, and most importantly Bo, gasped "Baby…"

Her voice purred out, the strange dual tone she'd come to associate with Bo echoing from her own mouth, "What?"

Kenzi pointed, "Your eyes…"

Lauren turned her head to peer at herself in the round mirror her mother had hanging in on one of the walls. Her eyes were not brown at the moment; instead they were a pale, icy blue, that burned brightly with a pulsing light.

She dismissed the image and turned to face Bo who was still lying prone on the floor, "Bo…"

She crouched next to Bo and pressed a gentle kiss to the cut on Bo's forehead before grasping her jaw and trailing her lips down Bo's face before she captured her lover's lips with hers.

Bo seized her lips in return and brought a hand up to tangle in her mussed curls as she struggled to sit up. Lauren exerted a gentle pressure to keep Bo right where she was as she opened her mouth and nipped at Bo's lips, knowing from experience that it was a sure fire way to flare Bo's hunger.

As she expected Bo let out a pained groan and the deep, heady pull of a chi kiss began as Bo sucked and pulled her chi as their lips separated a fraction of an inch.

Distantly she heard her father mutter, "Impossible…"

Lauren waited for that inevitable weak feeling that she'd always felt before, despite the fact that Bo had pulled as little as possible from her before the revelation that she was Fae. It had never been a deep weakness and it had never lasted more than a couple of hours but it had been there, that moment when she had to end the kiss or be drained.

It didn't come this time. Instead Bo wrenched her lips away as her eyes flashed blue as she growled, "Mate."

Lauren replied back as her own eyes flashed as a rush of chi erupted from within her, replenishing what had been taken, "Mate."

Bo surged up and together they slid to their feet as their lips met again and hands began to roam. Some distant part of Lauren was aware that her parents and baby sister were in the room with them, so she couldn't take Bo against the wall or maybe the couch, though she desperately wanted to. She began guiding Bo towards the stairs, intent on the room that had once been hers, or even Lucy's in a pinch and growled as Bo resisted and snaked her hands under her shirt.

Lauren pulled back and dropped her hands to Bo's ass and lifted. Bo let out a startled, delighted gasp as her legs wrapped around Lauren's narrow waist. Lauren continued to kiss her mate as she carried her up the stairs; narrowly avoiding losing her shirt to Bo's deft hands until they'd stumbled into her old room, which had remained exactly the same as it had been before she'd gone to college. She spun and pressed Bo against the door as her hand slid down her lover's stomach with intent as Bo began to pull chi from her again.

Quinn stared up at the stairs where Lauren and her… girlfriend? Where Lauren and Bo had disappeared into Lauren's old, shrine like room before she clenched her fists and spun on her father.

"Was Bo right? Did you know Lauren was alive?!" She was shaking and through the haze of red that was clouding her vision she heard Kenzi mutter something.

Her father snapped at her, "Do not take that tone with me Quinn."

Her mother stepped in front of her and spoke firmly, "How long Russell? How long have you known Lauren was alive?"

Her father looked obstinate for a long moment as he glared at her mother before he sagged and let out a sigh, "Since right after we kicked Quinn out."

From behind her Quinn heard Kenzi breathe, "Harsh dude…" Before the little Russian was pushing past both Quinn and Judy as she hissed, "You mean to tell me that HotPants has been a slave for years even though one word from you could have freed her? No wonder Bo wanted to choke you! I want to choke you!" She held a finger up and shook it angrily in Russell's face, "The Doc did not deserve to be a slave!"

Russell's face went red as he spat at Kenzi, "I KNOW! Why do you…" He cut himself off viciously before hissing, "I don't have to answer to you human."

Kenzi shot back after crossing her arms, "Lauren is family. She's basically my sister-in-law now, which means you sure as shit do answer to me and to Bo! And Mama Judy and little sister Lucy!"

Quinn almost smiled at how much the little Russian was shaking with fury, and she might have if she wasn't fighting the intense urge to choke her own father, "Why didn't you say something?"

Russell scowled at her before he sniffed and replied, "I'll answer to Lauren," He turned to her mother and added nastily, "Call me when she removes her head from between the Succubus' thighs."

Her mother turned red, whether with embarrassment or fury Quinn didn't know as she snapped, "Do not speak about Lauren or her mate that way."

Russell huffed back, "She isn't her mate, she's the Succubus she's sleeping with at the moment. Trust our daughter to have a thing for Succubi."

Kenzi snapped back, "No! Not plural, Lauren loves Bo, singular! Succubus, not Succubi you big douche noddle!"

Her mother jumped in, "She couldn't have fed her Russell, you and I both know it, not once her abilities were unbound, Bo is her mate."

Quinn had to wonder at just how relieved her mother looked with that fact even as her father hissed back, "Aoife is her mate Judy, you were there."

Her mother retorted smugly, "Aoife was pregnant when Lauren was triggered, pregnant with Bo."

Russell reared back just a little before shooting a look up at the ceiling as a thud sounded from Lauren's old room, "So… Lauren… Bo is her mate? I…" He turned on Kenzi, "And Bo, this Succubus loves Lauren?"

Kenzi nodded firmly, "Hell yeah she does. She and HotPants had the whole forever love deal going on even when Bo thought Lauren was human, which admittedly I was not a fan of at first, but now I am totally team Lauren." She paused and then added, "She's kinda awesome in a super nerdy way."

Quinn wasn't sure if her sister had just been insulted but didn't get a chance to comment as Kenzi hummed, "She taught me how to make C4… how awesome is that?!"

Quinn blinked, "Lauren knows how to make C4?"

Kenzi nodded eagerly, "And pipe bombs! She's like scary smart."

Russell cut in, "But she loves her?" He narrowed his eyes, "Did Aoife raise Bo?" Quinn was curious at just how much her father seemed to dislike Bo's mother.

Kenzi supplied the answer with a wave of her hand, "Nope, my Bobolicious was raised by humans. She didn't even know she was Fae until a little over a year ago."

Russell almost sagged in relief before he exchanged a look with her mother, "So… We still have Succubus for a daughter-in-law but not an anarchist." He looked so pleased that it chaffed at Quinn.

Her mother nodded almost manically, "I know!"

Kenzi piped in helpfully, "She is unaligned though."

Russell and her mother both turned to look at her before Russell sputtered, "She's unaligned?!"

Kenzi popped her 'p', "Yup."

Her mother tossed her hands up before shrugging, "It is always something."

Russell narrowed his eyes at the ceiling before a slightly disturbing gleam entered his eyes as he muttered, "Call me tomorrow and I'll come by to explain some things."

He nodded to her mother and paused in front of Quinn, and for one insane moment she thought he might try and hug her before he clenched his jaw and strode from the living room.

There was another thud from the second floor and Kenzi huffed before reaching for the remote, "Can I turn on the TV Mama Judy?"

Her mother nodded as she rolled her eyes, "I'll start dinner… how likely is it that they'll join us?"

Kenzi cocked her head, "It depends on how possessive they're feeling… and they do tend to come up for air when it's time to eat. Lauren is pretty anal about meal times. She gets spacey and a little prone to rambling when she hasn't eaten."

Quinn let out a laugh, "She's always been like that. I remember once when I was a kid she went two days without eating because she had a paper she wanted to publish. I read the first draft of the paper and it turned into a long dissertation on the physics of Star Trek vs. Star Wars about half way through." She smiled fondly, "It was completely off topic… but interesting… I think that was the first time I realized that my big sister was a giant nerd." She smirked, "She was a total Trekie but her favorite was always Voyager."

Kenzi pulled Quinn down on to the couch as Judy made her way from the room, "How old were you?"

Quinn grinned, "I'd just turned eleven. Lauren was back from the Army, it was before the Congo, so life was great." She paused as a dark look crossed her face, "My next birthday was…"

Kenzi reached out and caught her hand, "She didn't have a choice Quinn. I swear it. If she'd disobeyed the Ash she would have been punished… or even killed. I promise Lauren had no other choice. The Fae can be huge dick weeds when they want something, and the old Ash-hole wanted Lauren's giant brain."

Quinn let out a sigh, "I know and I do believe you but… I just…" She paused before leaning back, "I guess… If she hadn't been to the Congo she might never have found Bo right?"

Kenzi frowned, "Wow… yeah. Huh, slavery… Like Extreme Bachelorette." They were quiet for a while before Kenzi sat up with a smirk, "So… little sister… any super embarrassing stories about HotPants that I can use to wipe the disapproving look away when I want Bo to do something nuts with me?"

Quinn smiled softly as she shook her head, "Lauren was sixteen when I was born Kenzi… she was already at Yale even, she's always been my put together, completely awesome big sister. I mean she has tons of stories about me but she was always…" She ducked her head, "She was my super smart genius best friend. I think the only thing remotely embarrassing that ever happened was the time she puked after going on Magic Mountain. But that might have been the six churros I bet her she couldn't eat…" She cocked her head, "She did eat them, but Lauren's never done great with loads of sugar."

Kenzi for her part looked impressed, "Six churros…" She shook her head, "And she gets on me for dumping too much syrup on my pancakes!"

Quinn smirked, "Lauren was always pretty indulgent of what I wanted to eat." She frowned a second later, "Maybe that's why I was so chubby?"

Kenzi gave her a once over, "I don't buy it princess."

Quinn nodded, "Yeah… I was pretty big, after… well after we thought Lauren's had died I started dance and gymnastics, stopped eating and joined a cheerleading squad coached by an insane woman. I lost all the weight and ended up a giant bitch." She felt her cheeks color as she whispered, "Lauren would have been so ashamed of who I became."

Kenzi shook her head, "I'm sure that isn't true Quinn."

Quinn blinked back tears, "I… I was the biggest bully in the school, and I tortured the girl I was in love with because I hated that I had feelings for a girl. My older sister was gay, and I hated that I was… I… a part of me wondered if I hadn't accepted that in Lauren either." She folded her hands, "If I hated myself, did a part of me hate Lauren too?"

Kenzi reached out and squeezed her hand, "According to Rachel, who likes to talk by the way, told me that she never once heard a gay slur from you. That out of all the bullies at your school you were one of the only ones that never attacked someone for being gay. You love your sister Quinn… and why not, she's very lurvable."

Quinn quirked a small smile, "I met Nadia and I remember thinking that Lauren was so brave for admitting that she likes girls."

Kenzi patted her hand, "See, no hate there, at least not for Lauren." She added quietly a moment later, "Nadia died by the way… best to avoid the subject because it puts a damper on both Hotpants' and BoBo's moods."

Quinn blanched, "Nadia is dead? But… who kept the pho…" She trailed off before sighing, "Lauren did. She listened to my messages, all of them right. She said as much." She closed her eyes, "Beth… Puck… Rachel… God, she heard everything!"

Kenzi nodded, "Yeah… which is good thing Quinn, it was the first clue Lauren got about you and her being Fae."

Quinn squinted, "How?"

Kenzi shrugged, "According to HotPants severed spinal cords don't just heal themselves, at least not without some major Fae juice." She flipped the channel, "Rachel showing up with your x-rays was the clincher though."

Quinn nodded before glancing at the ceiling with a small smile, "Are her and Bo always so… affectionate?"

Kenzi snorted, "Oh yeah. Bo is a Succubus so sex is a given, but she and the Doc do it way more than usual, even for Bo. I've always said, Lauren must have a magic vag."

Quinn's face screwed up, "Ew? Kenzi!"

Kenzi shrugged, "Get used to it Little Sister. I'm usually surprised they don't just walk around naked for easy access. I once walked in on them defiling my couch and didn't even break Bo's stride, she just growled at me to get out."

Quinn blushed, "My big sister is a stud apparently and I've never even kissed a girl and my sister."

Kenzi hummed, "Bo is totally whipped by the Doc, which considering she's a seduction Fae… it's impressive." Quinn caught the small smirk that curled across Kenzi's lips, "For what it's worth? You were all Rachel could talk about."

Quinn's head shot up, "Really!?" She cleared her throat, "I mean… really?"

Kenzi grinned at her, "Oh yeah, 'Quinn this' 'Quinn that' 'Quinn is sooooooooo pretty'"

Quinn offered a small smile, "She has told me I'm pretty more than once."

Kenzi smacked her arm, "See, ask her out already!"

Quinn rolled her eyes, "It isn't that simple, there is a lot of history between us." She asked quietly a moment later, "You really think she'd say yes?"

Kenzi scoffed, "Um yeah? And why not, you are a catch. Also, fyi, one of Rachel's dads is in love with Lauren, so you totally have an in there."

Quinn relaxed back into the couch as she palmed her cell phone, debating the wisdom of texting Rachel when Kenzi bounced up with a grin, "We need to get our stuff from Rachel's house Quinn, and you should come with me... you could see Rachel," She nodded towards the ceiling and rolled her eyes, "And I could get away from the noise that is only going to increase once they really get into it."

Quinn stood slowly, "So… Rachel's?"
