"Hey monkey what you up to?" I ask my daughter as I walk into the kitchen.

"Nothing mommy just a drawing for mama." Charlotte says with a wide grin.

I go and stand next to her examining the picture, "Thats beautiful sweetheart how I come I never get pictures."

"Because you're special and you get a different present."

I just smile and moves around then kitchen to make our family lunch. It had been about six months since Charlotte's kidnapping and since Lauren and I had expertly taken care if the culprits. No one seemed to bother them anymore. Not even Evony. They were finally getting back to their lives. Aoife was actively apart of her granddaughters life and had finally accepted Lauren as her daughter-in-law. It made me utterly and completely happy that my mother had dropped the "we don't do monogamy" act and just went with it. Hale and Kenzi we still going strong and the Fae elders seemed to not much a problem with it. Charlotte learned to control her powers and even though she was now the size of a two year old and the brain and a thirty-two year old she seemed to be very child-like. She loved her mothers very much and didn't mind reminding us often. It made me proud that she was a brainiac like her other mother. Lauren and I were still going strong, thinking about taking a family vacation soon to enjoy our lives more. I didn't imagine myself loving her more than I already had. It was like my heart grew everyday and Lauren and Charlotte took up the extra space.

"Honey I'm home." Lauren chimed as she sat her briefcase and keys on the mahogany dinning room table. "Hey monkey." she says kissing our daughters head before wrapping her arms around me from behind. "Hello ." she said lowly kissing the sweet spot on Bo's neck.

Bo closes her eyes and leans into her wife, forgetting about the sandwiches she was making, "Hello ." I say in the same tone and turn in her arms.

"Did you miss me?" Lauren asks with the widest smile Bo had seen in a while.

"No." Bo says with a smile.

"Mommy you're lying you told me mommy works too much and you wanted her here." Charlotte says with squinted eyes.

"Who's side are you on monkey?" Bo says raising an eyebrow.

"Im on nobudys side I am unaligned." she says proudly sticking up her little nose.

I look back and Charlotte, "And don't you let anybody forget it kiddo." I say and turn back to Lauren who was looking at me adoringly, "What has you in such a good mood?"

Lauren shrugs and kisses Bo softly, "Im home safely to my beautiful wife and adorable daughter why shouldn't be happy?"

"Okay Lo you're seriously scaring me?" I chuckle and put my hand on Lauren's forehead. "Are you sick?" it was true Lauren hadn't been this peppy since they had gotten married and taken their honeymoon. Bo panicked a little feeling like she might've missed their anniversary but she surely hadn't.

"Your mother just told me she and Trick are going to watch Charlotte while you, me, Kenzi, and Hale go to a couples retreat." she smiles widely.

I smile equally as wide, "Really?"

She nods, "Since we never get to finish our honeymoon."

I look back at Charlotte who has a very Lauren like concentration face, "What if..."

"She's not going anywhere Bo." Lauren says know exactly what I was thinking without having to read my thoughts. "She'll be with the blood king and the most powerful succubus we know. Nothing will happen to her." I still frown and look back at our daughter. "Babe, I miss you." she leans in more, "I miss touching your very sexy body."

I bite my lip as my libido flares, "Well when you put it that way doctor..."

Lauren smirks, "I have a present for you." she says with a wink.

"Would it happen to be those killer shoes I say when we were window shopping?" I ask overly excited.

She chuckles and kisses me again, "No but its something that you'll defiantly love." she kiss my softly and I put my hands in her hair.

"Mommies your grossing me out." Charlotte says with her arms folded over her chest. "Can auntie K come over? I want to watch zombies."

Lauren drops her hands from my waist and walks around the counter to our daughter picking her up, "Monkey you're not supposed to watch those, besides we can watch Disney with you. Auntie K is with Uncle Hale tonight."

Charlotte pokes her lip out, "She always dumps me for him."

I chuckle and walk to kiss her cheek, "You sound like me when mama Lo leaves for work." Lauren had decided to go back and work for the light since Hale was in charge and she knew he wouldn't treat her badly. It wasn't a master servant relationship more of an office friendship relationship, which made both of us very happy. "You wanna go see Papa Trick and Gram?" I ask Charlotte.

Charlotte's face breaks out into a smile and she wiggles out if her mothers arms, "Yes. I have something for him." she says and makes her way up the stairs.

"Be careful monkey." I tell after her and Lauren comes and wraps her arms around me.

"I don't think I got a proper hello from you wife." she says with a smirk, her eyes locked on my lips.

"If by proper greeting you mean fucking you on the counter, you'll have to wait my love." I say and kiss her nose before stepping out of her embrace.

"You know if we go on that trip with Kenzi and Hale we could have to wife time right?" Lauren says standing on the opposite side of the counter as me.

"Mommies I found it." Charlotte yells skidding down the stairs.

"And I plan on taking advantage of it while we are there." I say and wink.

Lauren smiles and scoops up our daughter, "Do you wanna stay with Papa Trick for a weekend while me and Mommy go out of town?"

Charlotte frowns another Lauren frown, "The bad people won't come after me again?" she asks.

My heart broke hearing her ask that. After they had got settled in the house Charlotte was terrified of going anywhere alone. It was gradually improving but I wanted to make sure she felt safe. "Monkey do you think Gram would let anyone take you away from us?"

Charlotte thinks, "I didn't think so. Sometimes her thoughts are loud and she thinks that I hate her." she frowns again. "I love my Gram and I want to stay with Papa Trick and her."

Lauren smothers her in kisses, "Of course Monkey. Lets go." she says sitting Charlotte down and grabbing her keys.

"Mommy mama has a surprise for you at Papa Trick's but sssh I didn't tell you." Charlotte whispers zipping her lips and throwing away the key.

I bend down and kiss the crown of her head, "I'll act surprised okay?"

Charlotte smiles and holds out her hand, "Could I escort you to the car mommy?" she asks bowing.

I curtsy and take her hand, "Why of course monkey."

Lauren

"Okay open your eyes." I say uncovering ny hand from Bo's eyes to reveal a drawn portrait of her, Kenzi, Charlotte and myself. "Do you like it? I remember we took the picture and never got it printed so I thought inside of doing that I would just get someone to draw it." I shrug and look at Bo's shocked expression. "Say something." I say and nudge her arm.

"I don't know what to say other than wow." Bo exhales and goes to pick up the portrait, which was twice her size. "I love it Lo I really do and I know exactly where we can put it." she glances and me with a wide smile, "The entrance way of the house. I want everyone to see our seemingly perfect family."

I laugh and link my arm with Bo's, "We're finally getting our happily after ever."

"Lauren?" Kenzi says walking down the stairs. I know that when Kenzi called me by my name it wasn't good news. "Your mom is here."

I look at Bo shocked. "Is she okay? Did something happen?"

Kenzi shakes her head, "She just said she needs I talk to you."

I nod and Kenzi walks back up the stairs to the bar, "I haven't seen my mother since the wedding."

"I know I hope everything's okay." Bo says wrapping her arms around me. "Do you want me to come and sit with you?"

I shake my head, "No if she needs to talk to me she will want to do it alone."

Bo nods and takes my hand, "Well come on."

I let Bo tug me up the stairs and to the bar. My mother was playing with Charlotte and that made me panic, "Monkey what are you doing?"

"Playing with Elizabeth." she looks up at me and pokes my stomach, "What are you doing?"

I giggle and kiss her head, "I know you told your mother about her present. You are bad." I tickle her slightly.

Charlotte squeals and slides off of the bar stool, "I love you mama." she says and wraps her little arms around my legs.

"Love you too monkey now go sit with your mommy while I talk to mine."

"This is my other gram?" Charlotte asks slightly surprised.

I nod, "Yes and you can meet her later but go with Bo." Charlotte nods and trots over to her other mother. It made me smile wide when I watched the twins interact with each other, often wearing the same expressions. I reluctantly look away from my beautiful wife and child and focus on my mother, "Hey mom is everything okay?"

"When were you going to tell me you were Fae?" she blurts and raises an eyebrow.

My jaw drops and I choke slightly on the air I had inhaled, "Come again?"

"When were you going to tell me that you were Fae, that your wife was a succubus, and your daughter was a hybrid?" my mother says again confidently.

"Um, mom. How exactly do you know about the Fae?" I ask quietly.

"Oh please Lauren I used to be in your shoes. The curious human doctor wanting something bigger and better." she says casually and sips at the drink Kenzi fixed for her. "Why didn't you tell me?"

I stammer slightly and run and hand through my hair, "I didn't even know you knew about the Fae mom." I say rather loudly.

My mother chuckles, "I dated the old ashes brother."

I spit choke on the water I had decided to drink and cough furiously causing Charlotte to come running over to me, "Mama are you okay?" she asking tryin to look at my face.

I nod and inhale sharply finally being able to breath, "Im fine baby."

"You sure babe?" Bo asks coming up behind Charlotte.

I nod again, "Mom knows." I say.

Bo chokes slightly and looks at my mother who nods, "How long have you known?"

Mom shrugs, "Since I first met you."

"And you let us go on with this the whole time?" I ask shocked.

My mother shrugs, "I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't wrong and recent events have suggested that I wasn't wrong." she looks at Charlotte. "Im sorry that you had to go through that little one."

I was staring at my mother with wide eyes, "I don't even know what to say to you right now?"

She chuckles, "You could answer a question for me." I nod. "How in the world to you manage to wrangle a succubus? Let alone start a family with one."

Bo chuckles, "It wasn't that hard. She's perfect."

"Mommy what is a stucubus?" Charlotte asks trying to keep up with grown up talk.

"I'll explain that when your sixteen kid." she picks her up and kisses her, "For now how about we go bug Papa Trick for some ice cream?"

"Babe please no you know how she gets when she has sweets." I sigh heavily.

Bo chuckles and kisses me all over my face, "Give mama kiss monkey."

Charlotte leans over to me and kiss me face repeatedly, "I love you very much mama." she says and kiss me again.

I smile widely, "I love you too monkey."

"What about me?" Bo pouts and adjust Charlotte slightly.

"I don't know I'm still think about it." I smirk and Bo sticks her tongue out at me. "Take the kid for ice cream I'm gonna talk to mom for a bit."

Bo nods, "We'll be in the lair if you need us."

I nod and turn back to my mother who is smiling the widest I've ever seen, "What?" I ask slightly confused.

"It just baffles me how you managed to do it." my mother shakes her head.

"She's stubborn and frustrating but I love her and she has a big heart." I smile. "Now tell me about how you know."

My mother sighs and runs a hand through her hair, "Your grandmother was Fae. Thats another reason I know. While I was dating the old ashes brother he accidentally spilled the beans." she shrugs.

"Gram was Fae?" I repeat shocked.

She nods, "Yes, she could read minds and feed off of others despair. There are more Fae in the family but that's too much to get into right now. Thats where most of your powers no doubt came from."

I stare at my mother letting this information sink in before I shake my head, "But why didn't you say anything? I mean why wait until now."

"For your daughter. She's going to be very powerful and you and Bo don't really understand how powerful."

"Im sure I do mother." I try to hide the edge in my voice but failed. "Charlotte comes from two very powerful bloodlines, it would only be logical that she would be extremely powerful."

My mother places her warm over mine, "I just want to let you that's all. Ever since I heard about them taking Charlotte I've been a mess." she looks over and Bo and Charlotte who had come back from down stairs and were playing patty cake in a corner. "You are a very lucky woman Lauren. Your family is beautiful."

I look over and Bo causing her to look up, she simple smiles and winks, "Yeah, I'd say." I whisper quietly.

My mother chuckles again, "Really please tell me how you managed to get her to commit. Im actually really curious. I've been a few succubi but none of them as level headed and as protecting of humans as her."

I smile widely, "I love her for who she is not what she is." I shrug. "She thought she was a monster and didn't deserve happiness." I look back and Bo and smile wider. "She deserves everything under the sun and I made her realize it while loving her unconditionally in the process." I turn to look at my mother who is just smiling at me again.

"Im proud of you." she says. "You've become all I've expected and then some."

Bo comes and places a hand on my shoulder, "Gramps wants to teach monkey a few things so we have the rest of the day to ourselves." she looks up at my mother, "What are you two talking about?"

I pull out Bo's chair and she sits next to me taking my hand, "Just what mom knows about the Fae because she dated Lochlyn's brother, how my grandmother is Fae, and you." I blush as I look into Bo's eyes.

She grins and it shows through her whole body, "Little ol me?" she chuckles and we hold eye contact completely forgetting about my mother sitting there. It was like we were speaking to each other without thinking or speaking. It made me feel warm inside and I loved that Bo did it to me.

"Wow." my mother says in awe pulling my attention away from Bo.

"What?" I say with a curious smile.

Mother shakes her head light, "You two are just, wow. Bo you have had quite the affect on my Lo-bug and it makes me proud to have you as my daughter-in-law."

"Thank you Elizabeth. I hope that you'll become a frequent factor in our daughters life."

"There's no doubt about that. She is wonderful and looks so much like the both of you." mom looks at her watch and gasps. "I have to go I have a lunch date with your father. I'll tell him your doing well. He doesn't know about any of this and I plan to keep it that way."

I stand up and hug my mother tightly, "I love you mom."

She squeezes me back,"Love you too Lo-bug." she looks at Bo, "I'll be back next week and we can have lunch at your home."

Bo nods and stands next to me, "Sounds wonderful." she says and snakes we arm around my waist.

Mom gives us both another hug and heads off to have dinner with my father. I was glad to know these new facts about my family but it just hasn't all settled in yet. "So what do we do for the remaining two hours until monkey comes home?"

"We could get in some cardio?" Bo says with a smirk squeezing that spot on my hips.

"Daily athletics can often improve a person immune system." I say as Bo leans down to kiss me. "And cardio keeps the heart strong."

"Them how about we take the car and go somewhere secluded and quiet hmm?" she asks sliding her warm hands under my tank top.

"When you touch me like that we can do anything." I say and blush.

Bo grabs my hand and leads me to the car but we never leave the parking lot. I wasn't sorry for taking Bo in a public place. She made me absolutely unravel and I could let her to that to me all day. And there was always something to say on constancy.
