*Sorry I took so long to update. Got a little busy. Anyway this chapter is a bit shorter but I will update soon with more. Thank you all and please continue reviewing if you'd like to!*

Bo and Lauren were consumed with each other. Although Lauren could feel Bo's chi flowing into her mouth, it was like the fact that it was illogical didn't matter. She still felt like herself but stronger and closer to Bo, although she didn't think that was possible.

They had been holding each other tightly now for sometime, kissing each other while a stream of blue continued to flow between them.

They were still feeling the effects of the ritual. They knew what was happening but they were both being driven by something new.

Lauren held Bo tightly to her as she walked the two of them over to Bo's bed. The back of Bo's legs bumped into it but it went unnoticed as she continued to kiss Lauren over and over again. In one swift motion Bo pulled both herself and Lauren onto the bed.

Bo felt like she couldn't see straight. It was like what she already felt for Lauren, their relationship, was amplified by a million and more, although she didn't think that was possible.

Pieces of clothing began flying off as the two continued to seal this new connection.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Bo squinted her eyes for a moment before opening them.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Bo opened her eyes and was overwhelmed. Her arms were wrapped around Lauren's waist, her body molded to the back of the blond's. Bo tightened her arms around Lauren, feeling the doctor breathing in and out against her chest.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Bo focused for a moment on that noise she kept hearing. And at what point did she and Lauren… She couldn't remember specifically how they ended up here but knew it was from the ritual.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

What the hell is making that annoying noise?

Bo leaned over Lauren's shoulder to see if she was awake and noticed a yellow light glowing from her wrist. She gently raised one of her hands to Lauren's beeping watch and pressed the side button. The display read 5AM.

One hour.

Kenzi.

Her thoughts of the plan returned to Bo as the ritual seemed to have pushed all other thoughts away temporarily.

Bo leaned down and began placing light kisses on Lauren's shoulder in an effort to gently wake her up.

She felt her stirring and before she could look up, Lauren had turned around in Bo's arms.

"Thank god for modern technology, huh?" Bo said with a smile. Lauren smiled back but furrowed her eyebrows with worry.

"Are you okay?" Bo asked softly placing her hand on the doctor's cheek. Bo worried that maybe she'd regret her decision to do the ritual.

"I'm fine, I just…" Lauren paused consumed in thought. "Do you feel different?" She asked focusing her eyes on Bo's.

"A little. I mean I still feel like me, it just feels like what we have is…" Bo paused trying to think of the right word to describe how she felt.

"Stronger." Lauren said finishing Bo's thought.

"Exactly. You know how I can see auras?" Bo asked. Lauren nodded, moving her face a bit closer to Bo's.

"It's like now, yours is mixed with mine… I don't know, it's hard to describe." Bo let out a small laugh.

"No, I get it… I mean I understand." Lauren said with a smile. "I can't really describe it either but it's like you're more part of me than you were before." Lauren said hoping Bo knew how much what she meant to her even before the ritual.

Bo reached her hand up and pushed a stray blonde lock behind Lauren's ear. They had to get ready to leave but Bo often wondered or rather wished sometimes that they had more time to just be. Like this.

But she knew, she couldn't give Lauren what she deserved, every bit of love she could give to her, until she got Kenzi back safely.

Her heart was still gone.
