My spell check was auto correcting Kenzi's name to the wrong spelling, i was not paying attention! problem fixed! i broke this section up into two chapters. Slow and steady, more to come!

The rush went quickly and I was able to sneak off to the on call room and sneak in a nap. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. Even though I had only managed an hour nap I had an intense dream. It was another dream about Bo like the previous ones I had before. This one seemed to take place after my last one, where I hovered over my lifeless body in Bo's arms looking down. This time I was standing in front of Bo as she held me in her arms. She was crying and I saw the blue flash in her eyes flicker then become stronger and so intense it was as if her eyes were engulfed in a blue fire. She stood up holding me in her arms, and when she opened her mouth a scream came out and I suddenly saw waves upon waves of blue chi come from all around her and filter into her mouth. I could see her strength intensify and when it ended she spoke, her voice deep and frightening, "none shall live for this, and her death will be avenged." Bo's eyes then grew brighter and brighter until there was a massive blue flash and I woke up. I rubbed my eyes, I was beginning to wonder if I needed to stop in the psych ward myself or just sneak some sleeping pills out of the hospital pharmacy. I shook it off and went back to the nurses' station to use the computer so I could look up dream meanings.

Bo was waiting for me as I walked out of the hospital, the morning sun and I meeting awkwardly. I winced at the brightness and looked down from the sky; I caught Bo standing against the beaten up yellow Camaro. Her head up to the same sky I had been cursing, she was taking the warmth the sun offered her. She was wearing sunglasses and her usual black pants, boots to the calf and a black tank top that scooped low and hugged tight. I was frozen in my place, enjoying the view of her. Bo bent her head down and caught me staring; a smile broke out, "morning doctor."

That smile, it did so many things to me. I felt a little energy burst move through me as I dragged my tired self towards Bo. "You better not be ogling me behind those sunglasses of yours." I slipped into her open arms; she whispered against my ear, "No, not at all Lauren, I would never do that." She nuzzled into my neck, placing a soft kiss.

I could have easily fallen asleep right there in her embrace.

"EW! You two starting the lurve fest already?"

Looking over Bo's shoulder I saw Kenzi in the backseat, half laying half sitting, engrossed in her cell phone. She looked at me and winked, "rise and shine, Dr. Hotpants. You owe me a pizza, time to pay up."

I pulled out of the hug and looked at Bo. "Dr. Hotpants?"

Bo smiled and laughed, "I am still trying to translate Kenzi-nese myself, never mind where she gets her nicknames from."

I shook my head as I slid into the passenger's seat. Kenzi's head popped up between the seats. She was putting handfuls of what looked like candy in her mouth. I glanced over my shoulder, "do you ever stop eating?" I was curious and amazed. The girl was constantly eating and yet she was tiny. Kenzi scrunched her face up, "I gots good genes, why does it matter? Unless you are super j, doc." She looked at me with a side eyes, testing me.

"No, Kenzi far from it, I am just pretty certain that your cholesterol level is at a level that your blood is nothing but sludge." I looked back at her, "I don't want to see you in my er."

Another handful in, "it's totally okay to say you are jealous, no need to go all medical on me." she then shot out a hand filled with candy, "want some?"

I smiled and gently pushed her hand away, "No thank you." I laughed lightly as Kenzi shrugged and downed the handful she just offered me and began singing along with the song on the radio. "Got my hands up! They're singing my song! YEAH! It's a party in the USA! " She smacked Bo's shoulder, "turn it up and sing with me Bo-yonce" Bo laughed out loud as she honored Kenzi's request, I suddenly found myself laughing just as hard at Kenzi hollering "AND A JAY-Z SONG WAS ON! AND A JAY-Z SONG WAS ON!"

I stood with Bo as she leaned against the pizza shops counter, I couldn't deny Kenzi her pizza after she brightened up my day with her karaoke. I watched as Kenzi was directing the guy making the pizza what toppings were to go on the extra-large she ordered. Bo ran her hand down my arm, snagging my attention, "I hope you don't mind, Kenzi and I had been out working on a few things and when I told her I had to pick you up, she was eager to get you to pay up on stretching out her pajama pants." Bo looked at me with a smile, "her words, not mine."

I chuckled, "it's completely fine, I am starting to really like her and I think in time she will warm up more and more to me."

"She will, it takes time. Kenzi is my best friend, my mom, my sister, my protector and my garbage disposal." Bo grimaced as she saw the massive size of the pizza that was being shoved into the oven, "you don't have to pay for this one….I think it maybe a fifty dollar pizza." I laughed out loud, "I pay my debts, and don't worry I can afford it…as long as she doesn't order a second one." Kenzi turned around to look at us both, giving a thumbs up sign.

Bo leaned against me, "I missed you tonight, how was work?"

I sighed, work had picked up after Tricks visit and I did not have time to really think over our conversation. I was still absorbing his visit and more than anything I knew it was something that I would have to discuss with Bo, I didn't want her to be put in a delicate position by my decision to accept his offer. He was aligned, she wasn't, and as much as I didn't understand the whole dynamic s of these sides, I knew that Bo had chosen to stay out of it. I reached out and wrapped my arm around her shoulder, squeezing, "work was busy as usual. I had a strange visit today that I want to talk to you about later…" I then remembered that I had been able to work on the pseudo vitamin supplement for Bo, "oh! I was also able to do a little work on your blood that we took; I think I came up with something that may help your hunger and control of it."

Bo looked at me, "what do you mean?" her eyes were filled with mild concern. "What did you find in my blood?"

I spoke as I stared into the oven, watching the cheese bubble, "I was able to mix synthetic pheromones with human hormones and created a mixture. The mixture I then induced into your blood cells after I damaged them, the blood cells latched onto the mixture and healed in a matter of seconds. Granted that I used human hormones for this trial, but it seems to work on your blood. I hope to work with fae hormones, and attempt the trials again. I was able to reduce the solution and create an easily injectable serum of sorts that I am hoping will take the edge of your hunger and allow you even more control, regardless of if it's human or fae." A cheese bubble popped and I was brought from my scientific diatribe.

"Lauren, you know that when you nerd out your aura glows as hot as it does when you see me naked." She was smiling mischievously at me, the dimple begging to be kissed. "I am starting to wonder if you love science and medicine more than you love me." she bumped me with her shoulder. I felt my face turn red, I looked her in the eyes, and "I don't think there is anything I love more than you, Bo." The words felt so right as I said them, there was no denying it, "bo, I love you."

She smiled softened slightly and I could see her eyes turn glassy, she reached up and cupped my cheek, "I love you too, Lauren." It came out quietly and was followed by her pulling me to her, kissing my deeply. I didn't care that we were openly kissing in the middle of a pizza shop, and that I could feel the stares of the employees on us.

"Dude! Really you two! Ugh, you are killing my appetite."

I felt Bo smile against my mouth; I turned to see Kenzi standing in front of us, disgusted look plastered to her face as she balanced the massive pizza box in her hands. Happy that we had stopped, she pointed her head to the door, "hotpants get the door, we are taking this baby home."

AS I held the door open, I looked at bo and mouthed to her "hotpants?" bo was confused as I was and followed Kenzi out, me close behind.

The three of us ended up at my apartment, Kenzi could not wait and was struggling with trying to eat the extremely hot pizza in the back of the car. I held the door open for Kenzi as she wobbled in, "holy shit, nice pad doc!" she looked over her shoulder at Bo, "look! She has four solid walls!"

I pointed to the kitchen island, "You can put the pizza down there, Kenzi." I watched as she slapped the giant thing onto the table top. She whipped open the lid, and before I could offer plates, she was cramming a slice in her mouth. Disregarding that it was still very hot, she winced but kept going.

Bo clicked the door shut behind her; she walked by me, letting her hand brush down my arm. The light touch made me shiver, and want her. She went to the cabinet and pulled out plates, sliding one under Kenzi and filling the other two with slices. "Lauren, come. Eat before Kenz here demolishes the entire thing." I smiled and moved to take the plate she offered up to me.

"Oooohhhh, carb overload, cheese overload, meat sweats….I need to lie down." Kenzi was holding her stomach as she stumbled over to my couch, flopping herself down on to it. She moaned like a beached whale. Bo was trying not to laugh as she cleaned up the remnants; Kenzi had demolished half of the pizza in record time. I felt bad for her, even if she brought it upon herself, I pulled out my medical kit and took out the antacids, I walked over to Kenzi, "take these and you should feel better soon."

She opened one eye at me glaring at me, "those better not be after dinner mints, because I am so close to throwing up, doc."

"They are antacids; they will help dissolve the gasses created by the carbs and cheese that you piled into your stomach." I held them out to her; Kenzi hesitated then took them, popping them into her mouth. She laid her back down and returned to her moaning.

I walked back to Bo, she was smiling, and "she will be passed out in a few seconds, she is known to slip into a food coma for hours." she looked at me, "leaving us alone." Bo grabbed my hand and began rubbing circles across my fingers with her thumb, making my heart race, "upstairs?"

I looked over at Kenzi, Bo was right, she was passed out and snoring lightly, I laughed, "amazing."

Bo tugged at my hand, "she will be out for hours, let's go upstairs and work off our pizza." She stepped to me and brushed her lips across mine, "I couldn't stop thinking about you while you were gone."

I breathed heavily, I leaned forward and kissed her softly, "neither could I, but I want to talk to you about something." Resistance was pretty much futile as she nibbled at my bottom lip. "We can talk after…." She kissed me hard, and I was done resisting. I grabbed her by the hips and pulled her into me, feeling our bodies meld into one, I knew talking would have to come later. Bo pushed away from me, grabbed my arm and pulled me upstairs. She didn't wait until she was in the room before she completely stripped off her clothes; she turned to face me, nude. "Don't make me wait, Lauren."

I didn't, I closed the door behind us and swept her up under me as I took her to bed, hearing her moan as my weight pressed against her I couldn't help but smile. When I took my shirt off and leaned over her, watching Bo's eyes drift all over my breasts and stomach I saw the blue flicker in her eyes. I stopped instantly and stood up. Bo's eyes returned to normal, "Lauren?!"

I remembered that I had left the injection for Bo down in my bag, I held up a finger to her, "Wait, wait…"

"Lauren, I really can't nor do I really want too, you can't stand there topless and ask me to wait." Bo was flushed and mildly frustrated.

"Just please, Bo, wait." I ripped the door open and ran down the stairs, paying no mind to the fact I was indeed topless and that Kenzi was on the couch. I was focused; I grabbed my bag, rifled through it until I grabbed the three injection pens I had made. I squeezed them, excitement running through my body. I turned and ran back up the stairs to bo, Having missed seeing Kenzi wake up, sit up and look in my direction and catch a fast glimpse of me half naked, She whispered, "gross…" and fell back on to the couch.

I open and closed my bedroom door, Bo was still sitting in the middle of the bed, completely naked and completely irritated, "Lauren, you cannot, I repeat cannot walk out on a naked succubus in the middle of making out, it can cause catastrophic results."

I smiled at her and held out the injection pens, "here!"

She looked at me confused, "are you going to draw on me? I mean I am okay with that, if that's your thing?"

I crawled to her on the bed, "no no, these are injection pens, this is what I was telling you about at the pizza place. This is the hormone mixture I made for you, it's perfectly safe because it's all human hormones, like what you take from me and the synthetic pheromones should pose no problem to your steel like immune system. Your blood cells were not even phased by them; it's really like a vitamin injection." I saw her face and noted the sudden seriousness that came over Bo. "I mean, um, it's up to you if you want to try this." I set the pens down next to us. My nerd was getting too much advantage in this situation, that I had completely forgot that Bo may not be on board with me using her as a test subject. I leaned back, knowing I had effectively killed the moment between us.

Bo grabbed my elbow, "Lauren…let's try it." I could tell she was hesitant.

I shook my head no, "you don't need to, I should have waited. I just got excited at the possibility of helping you." I felt her squeeze my elbow, forcing me to look her in the eyes, she was smiling lightly.

"I trust you, Lauren, and if this stuff helps me keep control it means a lot." She then broke out a wide grin, "it means I won't have to hold back as much as I have with you." She dropped her eyes to my breasts, "you are hard to hold back from." Her fingers reached out and grazed the side of my breast; I felt my breath leave me, as well as my nerd. I grabbed her hand and held it against me, "just forgot about it…." I leaned forward to kiss her, but before I did Bo reached past me and grabbed one of the injection pens, jamming it into her thigh. The small hiss sounding that the contents had been released into her bloodstream. Before I could object she pulled me down on top of her and in a low voice, "you are going to pay for leaving me earlier." she covered my mouth with hers in a deep passionate kiss and I was done for.
