A/N: Okay folks. Last one, it's been fun!

Chapter 14: Legacy

McCorrigan Household 2.0 - Eight Months Later

The days after didn't get any easier, for any of them. Especially for JJ. He asked for Bo constantly, but Lauren didn't have the heart to tell him the truth. So she decided to bend it slightly and tell him a version of the truth instead.

Sarah performed a spell on Bo's original body not long after they found out about her death. It was a spell that would preserve it, until the time came where they could place Bo's soul back into her body. She wouldn't age, she wouldn't decompose, she would remain as she was.

So Lauren put that to use, and had her body moved to one of the guest rooms. She hooked her up to a heart monitor, and it was baffling. Even without a soul to live inside her body, Bo's heart still continued to beat normally. She was breathing normally too.

Leaving her like this, meant that JJ could still see her and talk to her whenever he wanted. He also sang to her every day. Telling her that Bo told him to do it whenever anyone of them got sick. That made Lauren laugh; that was so Bo.

Days turned into weeks, then into months until eight of them had passed. Lauren thought that it was endless; that she wouldn't have her Wife back again. But that all changed, when Kenzi found something that could bring Bo's soul back from the afterlife.

Kenzi was down in the kitchen, with Sarah, Dyson and Tamsin at her side. "It's been eight long months of searching. Now I've finally found the spell you can use to bring Bo back. So what're you waiting for? Do it!" she handed the spell book to Sarah.

Only, as Sarah was looking through it; she noticed that this was impossible for her. "Kenzi, I can't perform any of these spells. This is Dark magic…" she said. "… I don't practice this. Nor would I want to. Dark magic forces you to draw from evil places. I won't do it, I'm sorry"

"Excuse me?" Kenzi's eyes flashed blue in anger as she began to take a step towards her.

Tamsin held her back, "Kenz! Snap out of it! You heard her, this is too dangerous. And Bo wouldn't want you to do this either. Look at you; you're losing it" she was really worried about her, had been for months now.

"Of course I'm losing it!" Kenzi backed up out of Tamsin's reach. "My Sister is probably going through hell! She's trapped in another dimension. How'd you know she's not being tortured, or worse?" she was losing her mind.

"It doesn't work like that Kenzi…" Sarah said. "… Wherever Bo's soul is; she's not in any pain" That much she knew.

Kenzi smacked her hand down onto the kitchen table, "SO THEN WHERE IS SHE?!" she was just getting sick of not hearing Bo's voice, or seeing her smile. With their Parent's dead, Bo was all she had left.

Suddenly, they all turned to the left. Seeing Lauren walking into the kitchen with JJ in her arms. "No please, don't stop on our account. It's not like we couldn't hear you from upstairs" she took him straight to the table, sitting him down and preparing his lunch.

"We're sorry Lauren; we were just leaving. Right Kenz?" Tamsin looked at her friend.

Kenzi didn't want to say anything else in front of her nephew, he was too young for this. "Yeah, right…" she nodded. "… I'll uh, be back later" she made a move to leave through the back door, but JJ called her back.

"Where're you going Aunt Kenzi?" he asked, "You promised we'd go to the park today" he was really looking forward to it.

Seeing the hurt look on his face made Kenzi want to punch herself. "I know buddy…" she walked up to him, smiling. "… But something really important has come up, and I don't think I'm gonna be able to now. You understand, right?"

JJ nodded with a pout. "Yeah"

Dyson ruffled his hair, "Don't worry champ; Aunt Kenzi might be busy today but I'm not. We can head over to the park after you've finished your lunch okay?" he winked at him, seeing his smile return. All was right in the world.

Kenzi kissed his cheek, "I'll see you later bud" she quickly slipped out the back door.

After everyone cleared out, Lauren was left with Dyson and JJ. She quickly whipped up a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for her little boy. "There you go sweetie. No crusts, just the way Mama makes it" she kissed his head.

"Thank you" JJ started eating his lunch.

Dyson could see that Lauren was forcing herself to smile, and he hated seeing her sister like this. "Hey champ, why don't you go and eat your lunch in front of the tv. I need to talk to Mommy…" he picked him up and placed him on the ground, giving him his plate and watching him walk off. "… Lauren? Please talk to me"

Lauren wiped some dishes, placing them to one side. "About what? How my Wife is in a coma because her soul has passed onto another dimension? Or how my Sister-in-law is slowly going insane trying to bring Bo back? Which topic would you like to discuss first?" She turned around, facing him.

"Kenzi will be fine…" Dyson said. "… She just needs time"

"No!" Lauren looked at him. "She needs Bo! I need Bo…" She started to cry again. "… It's been eight months Dyson. I can't eat, or sleep. I'm trying to be strong for him…" She glanced over to the living room where her son was sitting on the couch. "… I don't know how much longer I can keep it up"

Dyson brought her into a hug, holding her as she cried. "We're gonna bring her back Lauren. This isn't permanent. I promise"

That was a word that Lauren was getting really sick of hearing. She pulled back from her brother, wiping her tears. "I wouldn't if I were you brother…" She said. "… Promises have a habit of being broken around here" she walked away, going to the living room to sit with her son.

She rarely left his side these days.

Unknown Location – Later

Kenzi was running out of options, no one was willing to help her with this. Of course, she knew that their situation was difficult. Summoning a spirit from the dead, wasn't easy in the slightest. But there was someone that Kenzi knew of who could help her with this problem. Only, they were dangerous.

Her Father would tell her stories about the Norns of the Fae world. They were a group of women with an ultimate power. They had the ability to grant you any wish of your choosing, but you had to offer them something in return. And the price was always high.

And even though Kenzi knew that, she still didn't turn back.

Her contacts had brought her to a cabin in the middle of the Forrest. It had a huge oak tree built into the back. She knew that trees were sacred to a Norn, but she didn't expect this. Kenzi climbed onto the porch, taking a deep breath before she knocked on the door.

"State your business" someone said from behind the door.

"I wish to make a trade…" Kenzi answered. "… Please, I'm desperate" she couldn't leave here empty handed.

The door opened with a painful creak, and an old woman came into view. She clothes were pretty much long rags and her hair was a mess. "Desperation is my specialty…" She smiled, "… Do come in" she let her inside.

Kenzi walked inside, the fire was crackling in the corner. That was when Kenzi saw the massive tree, rooted in the middle of the room. "Nice décor…" She spoke politely. "… Very woodland chic" she was so nervous right now.

"You use your humour to hide your pain…" The Norn watched how she smiled anxiously. There was more to this girl. "… I presume that your pain is what led you to me. Not many people visit me anymore. Especially given that they know the price for my help. Do you?"

"You will grant me a wish…" Kenzi said. "… In exchange for something valuable to me. So is this the part where you rub your magic lamp; or in your case; tree?" She glanced at the rotting plants scattered around her.

The Norn laughed, "You must be desperate if you're eager to get this over with. Do you even know what it is that you value most? Because I can tell you it's probably not what you're thinking in your head. People always think they know, when really; they have no clue"

Kenzi was sick of this game. "Look, are you gonna help me or not? Because if you're just gonna keep spouting all this crap; then I'll bounce and take my business elsewhere. Just let me worry about what I'm giving up, cool?" She knew full well the terms of this deal.

The way that young Fae spoke in these times, baffled the Norn. That was one of the reasons she secluded herself in these woods. "Cool…" She repeated her phrase. "… What do you wish?" She asked.

This was it.

"My Sister, Bo; her spirit passed on. And now her soul resides somewhere in limbo. I want you, to put her back into her true body. It waits for her in perfect condition. Can you do it?" Kenzi asked.

"You want me to summon a soul from the beyond? Resurrection is the most expensive service that I can offer. But yes, I can do it. I have the power to grant you any wish of your choosing; if I so see fit. The price will be steep" The Norn told her.

Kenzi approached her, "Whatever you want; hair, blood, a gift card for a salon…" her hair was atrocious. "… Just take what you need" she was so close; she was going to get her sister back. She didn't need anyone's help.

"You just made this very easy for me…" The Norn got close to her, "… There are two qualities that you value most; your Succubus abilities, and your immortality. Both of equal value. For this payment; I require them both!" She slapped her palm onto Kenzi's chest, it glowing a pale purple.

Before she could even try to fight her, Kenzi felt her strength fade. She didn't think that this would be what she's have to give up. But if this was the price she had to pay to get Bo back, then this's the way it had to be.

McCorrigan Household 2.0

Bo's eyes snapped open.

She found herself starring at a ceiling, breathing in and out. The last thing she remembered, was grabbing the amulet from Ray's neck while she was in Lincoln's body. And then nothing. She got up slowly, although it didn't help. Her head was fuzzy.

Looking down at her hands, she knew that she was back in her own body. That must've meant the plan worked. Ray was gone and her family was safe. But that didn't explain why she had wires strapped to her chest. When she focused her hearing, she heard the beeping of the heart monitor beside her.

Did something happen to her? She honestly didn't remember anything. She had to get to Lauren. Bo stood from the bed, her legs felt like jelly but she managed to stand with the support of the table beside her. She removed the wires of the machine, throwing them to the side.

When she walked in the hallway, she passed her bedroom and found no one there. Then she checked her son's room, and it was empty also. It took her almost ten minutes to get downstairs without hurting herself. Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming from her office.

"Dyson? Did JJ forget some—" Lauren dropped the glass she was holding, hearing it smash on the floor. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Bo?"

Bo smiled tiredly, "Hi"

"I don't understand…" Lauren shook her head, "… What happened? How're you awake?" She was so confused right now.

"Umm, I dunno. How long have I been out? Just the night?" Bo asked.

That was when Lauren realised that Bo clearly didn't know what was going on, "Bo, it's been eight months" she said.

Bo's jaw dropped, "What?!" She couldn't believe this. "Eight months? No, that can't be. Are you sure it's been eight months? Maybe you've counted wrong" she knew that wasn't possible, but she was just so in shock right now.

"Believe me, I wish I was…" Lauren moved closer to her, checking to see if she was really there, "… I've missed you so much" she breathed, with tears in her eyes. In that second, she brought her in for a passionate kiss. She'd been waiting for this for eight months.

Suddenly, they were interrupted when the front door opened. Dyson walked in with JJ sitting on top of his shoulders. He almost dropped him when he saw Bo standing by the stairs with Lauren. Luckily, he didn't. "Holy shit!"

JJ made a noise, "Mommy; Uncle Dyson said a bad word!" He made his Uncle put him down, and when he was on his feet he ran straight to Bo. "Are you feeling better Mama?" He hugged her legs.

Bo didn't really have the strength, but she lifted him up anyway. Kissing him all over and breathing him in. "Yeah baby, I'm feeling a lot better. I've missed you buddy" she cried, holding him tight.

"I missed you too…" JJ wrapped his arms around her neck, "… Did you hear me singing to you? Like you told me to, remember?"

Since Bo's soul wasn't in her body, she didn't hear anything. All she remembered was seeing nothing, just black. It was like she was frozen in that spot all this time. But to make him feel special, she lied and said yes anyway, anything to make him smile. "Of course I heard you. Why'd you think I'm awake? You made me better" she kissed his cheek.

It was an hour later before Bo was back to feeling normal, or at least the closest thing to that. She'd had something to eat, and drink. Now she sat with Lauren on the couch with JJ and Dyson on the floor playing with some toys.

"So, what's the afterlife like? Any horror stories?" Lauren didn't know if it was actually bad, Bo wasn't saying much. But the last thing she wanted was for Bo to close herself off. It could mean something bad.

Bo just shook her head, "Nope. To be honest, I don't remember anything. Last I saw; I was pulling the amulet from Ray's neck. And then I felt a sharp pain in my heart. After that, it was just darkness. Then I woke up in bed, hooked up to a bunch of medical machines" she turned to her Wife.

"Yeah, sorry about that…" Lauren smiled sheepishly. "… Sarah cast a spell so that your body wouldn't start to decompose. And I had to make sure that your vitals were okay. Which they were. We didn't know how long you'd remain that way, it was the safer option"

"Lauren, it's okay. You guys must've been going out of your minds these past few months. And I love you all for bringing me back. Thank you" Bo held her hand, she was so grateful.

But that was when Lauren had to tell her otherwise. "Bo, we didn't bring you back…" She said. "… We've been searching for a way for months, and we've come up with nothing. Kenzi found a way, but it was through Dark magic. Sarah refused to do the spell that she found, it was too dangerous" she wasn't going to lie to her.

Bo understood that, she knew all about Dark magic and how it was very risky. But she also knew how Kenzi was, and what she would be like if Bo was gone for too long. There was a reason her Father made her promise to keep a close eye on her little sister. "And Kenzi just let it go, without a fight?"

"Not exactly…" Lauren sighed, "… She's been very distant lately. Staying out at all hours of the night, making connections with the shadiest Fae around. And then when Sarah refused to do the spell; she snapped. Tamsin had to intervene" she explained.

That was Kenzi. She was a hot head.

"So, if you didn't bring me back; then who did?" Bo didn't get an answer from her Wife. "And where's Kenzi now?" Still nothing. "We have to find her Lauren. I have a really bad feeling about this" she was panicking.

That was when Kenzi stepped into the room, "You won't have to look very far…" She saw her sister on the couch, she was alive. "… You have no idea how good it is to see you right now" she breathed with a smile.

Bo got up and quickly enveloped her sister in a tight hug. "Thank god. I thought you'd gone and done something stupid" she was really scared there for a second.

"Moi? Not on your life" Kenzi didn't want to let go. But from over Bo's shoulder, she saw Dyson and Lauren sniffing the air. This was the problem. Bo wouldn't be able to tell. But they obviously could, and they looked straight at her with wide eyes as they realised what they were smelling.

Lauren couldn't believe what she was sensing. Kenzi's scent wasn't that of a Succubus anymore. It was a Human scent. And it was no coincidence that she had come home Human, and Bo had woken up an hour before. What had she done?

An hour passed, and news of Bo's recovery had spread around the land. Everyone was celebrating the demise of the Barreras as well as Bo's return. Bo was still tired from her soul swap, so she and JJ were napping upstairs like they always did.

While they were safe and sound upstairs, Dyson and Lauren pulled Kenzi into Bo's office. "What the hell did you do Kenz?" She asked her.

Kenzi rubbed her face, ever since she'd become human she was really feeling tired. How did they put up with this all day? "I did what I had to do, to bring my sister back. It's not like the rest of you were pulling your weight!" She was still angry about that.

"You're right, we weren't. But this, is exactly why! There is no easy shortcut when it comes to bringing someone back from the dead. We wanted to find another way; a safer way" Dyson said.

"Yeah well, your 'safer way' was taking too damn long for my liking. Something had to be done, so I did it" Kenzi wasn't going to apologise. She saved her sister, from whatever hell she endured over on the other side.

Lauren stepped forward, "And I'll ask you again…" She was serious. "… What, did you do?" She wanted an answer.

Kenzi knew she couldn't keep this up for much longer, they'd find out eventually. "I traded with a Norn…" She saw their faces, they weren't happy. "… I asked her to place Bo's soul back in her body. And she agreed, on the promise that I'd let her take what I value most. Which was my powers and my immortality. I'm mortal now" she said it like it was no big deal.

Turning away, Dyson had to take a minute. "I can't believe you would do something so reckless. If Bo finds out what you did. She'll go crazy!" He knew that for a fact.

"What's the big deal? I'm alive; Bo's alive. So I don't have my Faeness anymore, big whoop! What good has it ever really done me anyway?" Kenzi was trying to think of this in another way. Maybe this would be a good experience for her.

"Are you hearing yourself right now?" Lauren asked her. "You were born Fae, Kenzi. It's all you've ever known. So if you've got some insane notion in your head that this's gonna be easy to move on from; forget it! You're gonna be miserable" she knew Kenzi.

Kenzi folded her arms, "And why would I be miserable? I'm still here aren't I?"

Lauren groaned, pinching the bridge of her nose. This was the problem with McCorrigan women, they were so damn stubborn. "For now…" She said. If she had to hit her where it hurt to make her see what a horrible mistake she'd made, then that's what she was going to do. "… But the thing about humans Kenz? Their lives are short"

The thing was, Kenzi knew all that. She'd cried about it on the way back home. But she still didn't regret her decision. She welled up, "I had to save her Lauren…" She cried. "… She's all I have left" she covered her face with her hands.

Feeling awful, Lauren hugged her. "You've got us too Kenzi. Me, JJ, Tamsin and Dyson. We're all here for you. Don't worry…" She shushed her. "… We're gonna make the Norn fix this. But first, I need you tell me which Norn you saw. Can you do that for me?" She felt her nod. "D? Get the map"

Dyson went to Bo's bookcase, they had a map of all of the territories. Of all the clans that resided here. He placed it on the desk, spreading it out. "There are only two Norn's left. Where did you meet with her?"

Kenzi looked over their map. Seeing the place, she went. "There…" She placed a finger on the spot of the map. "… Lakewood Forrest. She has a cabin out there, built around her sacred tree" she explained.

Lauren looked at the map they were using, then started laughing. Dyson and Kenzi had to ask her what was so funny. "You know what Kenz? Today might just be your lucky day…" She had a plan. And it would work. Providing that the Norn played nice. "… Leave this with me" she rolled up the map, and then went to the bookcase to find what she needed.

"Leave what with you? What did you just find out?" Kenzi asked.

"Trust me okay. By the time I get home, you'll be a Succubus again…" Lauren realised maybe she was being overly confident. "… Hopefully" she added. Then found the paper she was looking for.

Dyson didn't know what she was doing, but he wasn't going to stay here. "I'm coming with you…" He held his hand up when his sister tried to stop him. "… Not taking no for an answer. I'll drive" he smiled, walking out of the room.

Lauren grabbed everything she needed, then noticed the look on Kenzi's face. She knew what she was thinking. "She won't know Kenz…" She referred to Bo. "… With me and Dyson, it's different. We can smell the change in you. Bo can't. Just act natural. Don't worry, it'll all be okay" she touched her arm gently, then left.

Kenzi really hoped she was right.

The Norn's Cabin – Later

Lauren and Dyson pulled up just outside of the cabin, they hated the smell of this place. It smelt like damp and rotting mould. Going to the door, they knocked on it gently. When the Norn answered the door, she smiled at them.

"Three visitors in one day?" She chuckled. "I haven't been this popular in centuries…" she let them inside. "… State your business. What do you wish?" she got right down to it.

Dyson laughed, "Not so fast Norn…" he said. "… We're not here to make any deal with you. Sorry to disappoint you. But I believe my sister had the floor. Lauren?" he gestured to their surroundings, "Go ahead"

"Are you aware that you're living on Land owned by a Clan?" Lauren asked the Norn, seeing her expression turn confused. "I'm gonna take that as a No. So, how about I fill you in really quick?" she took out her forms. "Here, is the deed of ownership to this land. Which means, you've been dealing business without our Leader's permission"

The Norn took the form, she had no idea. Or maybe she did, she remembered signing something along time ago. But she made a deal with the Clan leader. He allowed her to do whatever she wanted in exchange for a free wish. "This means nothing. The owner and I have a centuries old arrangement"

Lauren shook her head, "Not anymore you don't…" she said. "… See, the old owner of this land; David Franklin. Signed away his ownership when he sold it to our Clan about fifteen years ago. We paid him a pretty penny for it too" she saw the papers earlier, it was expensive.

"Why don't we skip to the part where you tell me what it'll take to get rid of you?" The Norn was getting tired of this.

"Get rid of me?" Lauren laughed. "I'm afraid it's not that simple. You're in violation of our Clan's Laws. In Fae terms; you're an illegal squatter. And we're gonna have to ask you to vacate the property" she had her right where she wanted her.

The Norn turned angry, "I remain with my sacred tree at all times. It's the source of my Power. Without it I will surely die. There must be something I can do" she was desperate now.

"Well; I'm not without empathy…" Lauren smiled softly. "… I may be persuaded to let this slide for you. Providing you give me something in return for my kindness…" she waited for the Norn to ask her what she wanted, and then she did. "… A young Succubus visited you earlier. And she left, as a Human"

That was when the Norn realised, this was to do with that annoying girl that came here earlier. "Ah, I see now. You know that Succubus don't you? Or, should I say Ex-Succubus? I granted her wish and accepted payment, I didn't violate any rules" she said.

"Oh, but you did. Because you made the deal, within the bounds of this territory. And as I've already shown you; you have no right without permission. So, technically; every deal that you've made since we bought the land is null in void. We can, order you to return what you took from each and every one of your clients from the last fifteen years!"

Lauren circled her, "I can't imagine that'd be good for business. You may well lose everything…" she whispered in the old woman's ear. "… Unless, you do this one favour for me. I want what you took from her. Give it to me, and we'll leave and you'll never hear from us again" she offered it to her.

"You expect me to be bullied into this?" The Norn challenged her.

"Yeah, actually I do…" Lauren nodded. "… Because if you don't; I have a construction team on standby and the first thing they've been ordered to tear down; is your precious little tree! Give me what I want!" she ordered.

Dyson just folded his arms, "The deal sounds fair to me Norn. Do us this favour, and we'll return it by letting you live in peace. It's a small price to pay when you really think about it"

The Norn could only agree to the terms; she wasn't in the habit of handing out refunds. But she didn't have much of a choice at this point. If she didn't, then her legacy would be destroyed. One vial in exchange to the keep the millions of treasures she'd acquired over the millennia was nothing.

"Alright. You have yourself a deal" she walked away to her little closet, finding the small bottle of purple coloured essence that she'd bottled up after the young girl left. She handed it to Lauren, telling her to get out.

And Lauren gladly obliged. She and Dyson walked back to the car. "I'm shaking!" she had to calm herself down. She couldn't believe that she just pulled that off. "I thought for sure she was gonna melt me or something" she breathed deeply.

Dyson just laughed. "That's not exactly what Norn's do. Besides, you did amazing in there! Seriously. You know, if Bo ever steps down from her throne you'd make an excellent Leader. I was scared for that old crone" he'd never seen Lauren so serious before.

"Me, a leader? No. Being the Wife of one is enough for me. I mean, look how much Bo's tactics have rubbed off on me. Come on, let's head back" She got into the car, the two wolves driving off to their home.

McCorrigan Household 2.0 – Later

By the time that Lauren and Dyson got back, Tamsin had shown up to the house. And she was a little confused as to what she'd missed. Apparently Bo was back, and now Kenzi was human. She didn't even realise she was gone that long. "Please tell me you have a way to fix this? You can't be Human Kenz, it's not who you are"

That was where Lauren came in, "You're right it's not. And she won't be staying that way, not after we crack this open" she held up the vial of the purple essence.

"Holy crap, you actually did it?" Kenzi was shocked. "What the hell did you say to her to make her give it up? Oh no, did you trade with her for it. Because if you did then you can turn right back around and get a refund" she didn't want anyone sacrifices anything for her.

This was her own mistake.

Dyson shook his head, "She didn't. And neither did I. It turns out, that we own the land that the Norn lives on. So technically, we have a say over all the deals she makes. Lauren made her give your essence back in exchange to keep her land. Believe me, she didn't give it up easy"

"Wow, go you" Tamsin playfully nudged Lauren's arm. She continued to surprise her.

"Thanks…" Lauren smiled. "… Now, would you like to do the honours? Preferably before Bo wakes up and comes downstairs" she handed the vial to her.

Kenzi took it, giving it a quick look. She didn't expect it to look like this. "I really hope this won't hurt…" She pulled the cork out of the vial, watching as the purple essence rose from the vial. Until finally, it made Kenzi breathe it in. Much like how she would feed on chi. "… Shit!" She coughed.

Lauren rubbed her back, "Are you okay?" She didn't know if it was normal.

After she took a minute to breathe, Kenzi lifted her head showing everyone her neon blue eyes, "Oh I'm better than okay honey! I got my mojo back! Thank you!" She jumped on Lauren, hugging her tight. If it wasn't for her, she would've had to live as a human for God knows how long.

"That's what Family's for" Lauren hugged her back.

Next Day

When Lauren had woken up, she found the bed empty. Going to JJ's room she found him fast asleep. Along with Kenzi who was in her own room, also out for the count. There was no way that they could tell Bo about what she did, even though it was noble.

Bo wouldn't see it like that, she would just see it as Kenzi doing an impulsive thing. In Bo's eyes, her life wasn't more important than Kenzi remaining who she was. So they were going to keep it between them.

She walked downstairs, finally finding Bo in the kitchen making what smelt like a grilled cheese sandwich. "Couldn't sleep?" Lauren stood next to her Wife as she continued to cook.

"Nope. Too hungry. I feel like I'm still trying to catch up on the last eight months. I still can't believe I was gone for that long. I honestly don't know how you did it. If our roles were reversed, I know for a fact that I'd be a mess without you" Bo admired Lauren's strength.

It was one of the reasons she fell for her in the first place.

"Believe me, I wasn't a cool headed as you think. For the first few months, all I did was cry. I couldn't sleep without you next to me. Sometimes I would climb into bed with you just be near you, even though you couldn't hear or feel me. Plus, I had to be strong for JJ too. He doesn't know the truth" Lauren could never tell him; he was too young to understand.

"Probably better that way…" Bo understood that. "… But it's over now. I'm back, we're not facing certain death anymore, and Ray is gone for good..." They could breathe easy now. Before Bo could kiss her, she heard a noise from their left, JJ was standing by the doorway, rubbing his eyes. "… Hey buddy, you're just in time for breakfast!"

He ran over, trying to reach up to the table but he was too short. Lauren lifted him and sat him on the edge of the counter. "Can I have double cheese?" He loved that.

Bo pinched his cheek, "You can have anything you want buddy. And what about Mommy? What is she in the mood for?" she asked her.

"Nothing that you're cooking, that's for sure" Lauren gave her a subtle wink. It had been eight months since she'd had anything remotely close to intimacy. And even though Bo was the Succubus in the relationship. Lauren was the animal, she needed it just as much. Sometimes more.

"Umm…" Bo was taken back by that. "… I think I might have something better for you. Hey sweetie, why don't you eat your breakfast and Aunt Kenzi will take you to the Park. Does that sound good?" she asked him.

JJ nodded, any excuse to go to the park.

After he was done with his meal, Bo took him upstairs to get dressed. She left him to use the bathroom then woke Kenzi up. "Hey! You've gotta take JJ to the park. Like, now!" she told her.

Kenzi groaned, still half asleep. "Why now? I'll take him later, what's the hurry?" she fell back onto her pillow.

"Kenz, this important. I'm not asking you as a sister; I'm asking you Succubus to Succubus. I don't have to tell you what that's code for, do I?" Bo knew that Kenzi would catch on.

And she did, loud and clear. Kenzi sat up, rubbing her eyes. "No, you certainly do not. Say no more babe, I'll just throw some threads on and the little man and I will be out of your hair. But, just so I know; how long do you need?"

Bo wanted to say eight months, but that was ridiculous, even for her. "A couple hours. I can't really give you a specific time. But seriously, can you hurry because he's almost done using the bathroom?" she really needed this.

Not twenty minutes later, and Kenzi had left the house with JJ. Bo checked herself out in the mirror before going to find Lauren downstairs. She wondered if being dead would have changed her, or altered her in any way. But there was no way she could find that out just by looking in the mirror.

She also worried a little that being dead for such a long time weakened her Succubus urges. They felt strong now. But the way Lauren hinted at it in the kitchen meant that she'd been feeling that way for a while now. Bo could normally pick something like that up.

Maybe she just needed extra time to adjust.

Yeah, that's all it was.

Bo walked downstairs, going back to the kitchen but Lauren wasn't there. "Really? Hide and Seek?" she checked the living room, finding no blonde. Then she went to her office, stepping inside and seeing her Wife sitting on the edge of her desk. "Found you" she closed the doors behind her.

"I wasn't hiding…" Lauren said with a smirk. "… I just figured, out of all of the rooms in the house; this is one that we don't use that often. It's time we mixed it up a little. Wouldn't you agree?" she watched Bo start to remove her clothes. She was eager.

"Wholeheartedly…" Bo crashed into her, kissing her hard. "… Eight months. Might as well have been forever" she had to weigh the things that had happened. For her it had only been a day, but for Lauren it had been longer. And Bo hated that.

Lauren didn't want her to feel guilty, it wasn't her fault that she wasn't there. "Hey? Look at me…" she held her face, lifting it. "… What you did, was nothing short of a miracle. You saved us Bo, our Family, our Clan and our town. Yes, you paid the price for it. But you're here now…" she leaned into her. "… We're together. You're not alone anymore"

"I was never alone Lauren…" Bo said, shaking her head. That was one thing that she never thought about herself. "… Not as long as I had you"

"Well, you've got me" Lauren smiled.

Bo loved this little exchange they were having, even though they were supposed to be doing anything but talking right now. "Forever?" she asked.

Before her answer, Lauren kissed her with such a passion. "Forever will never be enough but; yes. Forever" she nodded.

After that, Bo didn't need to hear anything else. The couple got down to what they really needed, which wasn't just sex. It was connecting with their soulmate. When this whole mess started, Bo didn't think they would get this back, not after telling Lauren the horrible things she'd done before the blonde walked back into her life.

But they managed to make it through to the other side.

They saved their Family.

They saved their Clan.

Now because of that, their legacy was safe. And would live on into the countless generations that would come after them. If anyone else every tried to threaten that, Bo would make sure that they suffered.

No one, was taking her town away from her.

No one.

A/N: Aww, don't you just love it when there's a happy ending? Because I do. Hope you guys were happy with the ending. Notice, that I didn't write an epilogue. Mostly, because I wouldn't mind writing another one of these. It was fun, and one of my favourites.

Let me know what you thought, and thanks for sticking with this story. Much love xoxo
