A/N: I started writing this part last night before I watched the new episode of Lost Girl. I'm not loving the way the story is going on the show, so I'm going to stick to my guns with this and write it the way I was going to before that mind-fuck of an episode. There are something's that I was aiming to write in anyway that happened in the ep, so I'll stick with those, the rest can just go away. Thanks for the reviews (as usual) you guys are like really good vodka to my Valkyrie (I'm tired). Read, review, and enjoy!

Chapter Fourteen

When Bo awoke the following morning she was alone. She stretched out, smiling to herself remembering the events of the previous night, as her hand ran over the side of the bed where Tamsin had slept she noticed it was still warm. She rolled over onto that side of the bed, buried her face deep in Tamsin's pillow and breathed in deeply. Sighing as the warm, safe feeling she got whenever Tamsin's scent filled her senses, flowed through her, she rolled back over and lay there looking at the ceiling. Suddenly another smell was taking over. Smiling to herself she got out of bed, throwing her kimono on, she headed downstairs.

"Breakfast." She said to herself, smile still firmly in place, as she made her way to the bottom of the stairs, "something smells… good, hi Lauren."

Bo's smile dropped slightly as she saw Lauren sitting at the island in the kitchen. Tamsin had her back to her, cooking pancakes as far as Bo could tell.

"Sorry to stop by so early," Lauren said, "but Tamsin mentioned yesterday that you're doing some training…"

Tamsin furrowed her brow, thinking. She was 99% sure that she hadn't mentioned it to Lauren when she stopped by the lab. Deciding not to say anything about it with Bo in the room she continued with the task at hand. Breakfast.

"It's okay," Bo said with a little smile, sitting down at the island, her eyes wandering from Lauren to Tamsin, ""What's up?"

"I may have cracked it with your injections," Lauren said, "I was wondering if you're up for being a guinea pig again."

"You've got something already?" Bo asked, "I thought it would take longer than this."

"I pulled an all-nighter in the lab last night," Lauren said, "I knew I was close to cracking it yesterday morning, I just needed something from…"

Tamsin interrupted her.

"Are you staying for breakfast Doc?" she asked.

"I wouldn't say no," Lauren said, "those pancakes smell delicious, are you sure there's enough and you don't mind me gate-crashing?"

"There's more than enough," Tamsin said, putting two plates down on the table, one in front of Bo the other in front of Lauren, "you can have mine, I'm not hungry anyway."

Bo and Lauren sat there not really knowing what to say, Bo more so than Lauren, the Valkyrie was being cold. Tamsin served up the pancakes.

"I'm going to take a shower." she said, "enjoy your breakfast."

Tamsin headed upstairs to take a shower, leaving Bo feeling a little confused.

"Something I said...?" Lauren asked.

"Probably not," Bo replied, "she's had a lot on her mind these last few days; she's probably just overthinking things again... Can you give me a minute?"

"Why not let her take her shower, we eat our breakfast, then you can talk to her." Lauren said, "Seems like a waste of pancakes if you let them go cold."

Bo nodded slightly, she was hungry, last night's little adventure had seen to that. As Bo and Lauren were eating Kenzi arrived home. The human was more than a little surprised to see Lauren there.

"Not really the picture of domestic bliss that I was expecting to find this morning." she said to Bo, pouring herself a cup of coffee, "I thought Tamsin would be here, I mean that is why I stayed at Hales."

"I bet that's not the only reason you stayed at Hales..." Lauren said quietly.

Bo actually smiled at what Lauren said, she had a point, since the Yule party Kenzi had spent a lot of time at Hales, and it's true what they say - once you go Fae you never go back.

"Oh ha ha," Kenzi said, "Bo, can you ask the lady doctor if she's ever thought about transplanting herself a sense of humour..."

"Tamsin is upstairs taking a shower," Bo said, cutting off whatever this disagreement was between Kenzi and Lauren, "she cooked breakfast but decided she wasn't hungry."

"Not surprising really..." Kenzi said, "So I take it you two... You know..."

Bo nodded, the now familiar smile returning to her lips.

"And...?" Kenzi asked.

Bo looked between Lauren and Kenzi, looking a little embarrassed to be talking about this in from of her ex.

"Can we talk about this later?" Bo asked.

"I'm actually curious about the answer," Lauren said, "for the science side of it, of course."

"Yes we did," Bo said, "yes it was amazing..."

"And your hunger still hasn't returned?" Lauren asked.

"I... I didn't feed off her..." Bo said.

Kenzi was very much enjoying the look on Lauren's face. Bo and Tamsin had spent the night together, and Bo hadn't fed. That in itself made Kenzi, internally, do the happy dance. But what amused her more so was the realisation on Laurens face. Tamsin was more than just a powerful regular feed for Bo, and now Lauren knew it.

"Any particular reason why you didn't feed?" Lauren asked.

"I didn't want to," Bo said, "it wasn't about feeding, it wasn't about being hungry, it was... So much more than that."

Lauren nodded, internalising her thoughts that she may just have lost Bo for good. With Dyson even though it made her jealous she understood it, she didn't accept it, but she understood it. With Tamsin she realised that her initial thoughts had been correct, Tamsin could offer Bo everything that she herself couldn't. Lauren also thought about how different Tamsin was now, she hadn't wanted to see it at first, but no matter how hard she tried to see Tamsin as nothing more than a Dark Fae Valkyrie she couldn't see her that way anymore. She was now a lot more open, showed her feelings a lot more, she was more complete than she had been. She had known for a while that Tamsin had feelings for Bo, she just never expected the Valkyrie to act on them.

After Tamsin finished her shower and got dressed she sat on the edge of Bo's bed. Thinking. Lauren knew that she'd be there that morning, she knew about the training. Tamsin had a hard time trusting the human doctor before; Lauren really wasn't helping her case. Checking the time, Tamsin realised she and Bo were going to be late to the gym. Acacia had told them she wouldn't be there before 10 that morning; it was now nearly 9:15. Taking a deep breath, Tamsin made her way back downstairs.

"Morning T." Kenzi said with a little smile.

"Hey…" Tamsin replied, returning the smile, "Bo, we're going to be late if you don't get that sexy ass of yours in the shower soon."

"Okay…" Bo said, she looked at Lauren, "I'll stop by the lab later about those injections, what time will we be finished T?"

"Don't know," Tamsin said, "maybe Lauren could stop by the gym or something, that'd be easier."

"Sure." Lauren replied.

"Guess I'll see you later then." Bo said to Lauren before heading upstairs.

"Short-stuff, give us a minute." Tamsin said, not taking her eyes off Lauren.

"You've got it Tams." Kenzi said, smirking a little before making her way to the stairs.

Kenzi had absolutely no intention of leaving them alone. The look on Tamsin's face was one that screamed she was going to flay the doctor alive.

"What's your game here Lauren…?" Tamsin asked, walking over to the doctor.

"What are you talking about? What game?" Lauren asked.

"You tell me," Tamsin replied, "I didn't mention that Bo and I were training, in fact I didn't mention much at all."

"You didn't?" Lauren asked, "I guess I must have just assumed… I should get going, I'm already late."

Tamsin nodded a little as Lauren walked to the door.

"I will find out what you're up to Lauren," Tamsin said, "and when I do you'd better hope to whatever God you believe in that it isn't as bad as I think it is… This is my family Lauren, you screw with them you screw with me, and you might know pretty much all there is to know about the Fae, but you've never seen anything like me."

Lauren didn't say another word, she just left.

"What the Fae-ing Hell was that about?" Kenzi asked walking back into the room.

"Did me saying give us a minute translate in your head as, 'go and sit on the stairs and listen for a minute'?" Tamsin asked.

"It looked like you were going to take her head off," Kenzi said with a shrug, "now as fun as that would be, I don't think Bo would approve, so I wanted to make sure you didn't… now do you want to tell me what it was about?"

"She's up to something," Tamsin said, "I'm not sure what yet, but she is, and I don't see it ending well."

"Well this is Lauren we're talking about," Kenzi replied, "even when she has everyone's best intentions at heart it always goes… wrong."

"This isn't about having everyone's best interests at heart Kenz," Tamsin said, "this is about her having Lauren's best interests at heart, to hell with the rest of us."

"Maybe we should do some digging around, find out just what the good lady doctor is up to." Kenzi said.

"I'd love to," Tamsin replied, "but I've got to be at the gym… oddly enough I didn't even tell Lauren where it is, if she shows up at the right place later…"

"TamTam go BOOM?" Kenzi asked.

"Something like that." Tamsin replied.

Acacia stood and watched as Tamsin did her best to bring out the fighter in Bo. Bo was lying flat on her back on the mat.

"Again." Tamsin said, moving back to her starting point.

Bo didn't move, she was trying to catch her breath. Tamsin turned and looked at her.

"I said, again." Tamsin said.

"Just… give me a minute Tamsin…" Bo said.

"This asshole isn't going to give you a minute Bo," Tamsin said, "he isn't interested in you being comfortable…"

Tamsin walked over to Bo and held out her hand to pull her up. Bo took her hand. As Tamsin pulled her up they ended up standing very close.

"I know this is hard," Tamsin said, looking down into Bo's eyes, "I know it sucks in so many ways… but… baby, we have to do this, I'm not ready to lose you yet."

Acacia took that moment to excuse herself.

"You once told me that I had to fight…" Tamsin said, putting her arms around Bo's waist, "I need you to do that now, I need you to fight Bo. Fight for me, fight for us… but most of all fight for yourself."

"You always know just the right things to say." Bo said, moving closer to Tamsin, their lips almost touching.

"It's a gift…" Tamsin replied, kissing the Succubus.

When Lauren arrived at the gym and made her way through to the back room she saw both Bo and Tamsin lying flat on the mat, covered in bumps and bruises, laughing.

"Did you both take a knock to the head?" Lauren asked.

"Why would you ask that Doc?" Tamsin asked, sitting up and looking at Lauren.

"You both look like you've beaten 10 tonnes of shit out of each other and you're laughing about it." Lauren said.

"You're assuming that we look like this because we've been fighting…" Tamsin said with a smirk.

Bo slapped her arm playfully as she sat up.

"Tamsin was just trying to get me to understand that I can tap into my Succubus side and not become a monster." Bo said.

"At a certain point it's no longer about losing control," Tamsin said, standing up, "it's about taking it."

She helped Bo up, Bo's eyes flashed blue. It was the first time in days that Tamsin had seen those blue eyes make an appearance.

"When did you last feed?" Lauren asked.

"A few days ago." Bo said.

"A full feed?" Lauren asked.

Tamsin looked like she was thinking about when Bo had last taken Chi from her.

"That kiss?" Tamsin asked, "When you came round to my condo? That's the last time you fed?"

"Yeah…" Bo replied.

"You've lasted days on a kiss?" Lauren asked.

"Yes," Bo said, "and until now I hadn't thought about it… That's some serious chi you've got there Valkyrie."

"Just imagine how long you could have lasted if you'd have fed last night…" Tamsin said, a small smile playing on her lips.

"We might have to try that out…" Bo replied, her eyes a brighter blue than either Lauren or Tamsin had ever seen them.

Tamsin smirked and looked at Lauren.

"Purely for the science Doc…" she said.

a/n: mad au idea, Lost Girl characters in a btvs type story, with Bo as the Vampire and Tamsin as the hunter, or the other way around. Would anyone read it?
