Bo and I rush to the hospital and the receptionist pointed us in the direction of where to find the doctor. As expected we had to wait in the waiting room until they came out of surgery with Kenzi. The doctors didn't tell Bo details about what happened, they only told her that Kenzi was shot and it didn't look good for her.

This was all Dyson's fault. I had a feeling he wouldn't wait two whole weeks before he started fucking with us. I just didn't expect it this soon. If anything happened to Kenzi, if anything happened to any of us, I really don't know what I would do. This was my new family and I wanted to keep it as close and as safe as possible.

Bo was pacing, burning holes in the floor. "Bo, do you want me to call the detective?" no answer, just more pacing. "Bo baby?" I call out but she doesn't seemed to even be in the waiting room with me mentally. She was probably blaming herself, she blamed herself for anything bad that happened that had to do with her past. But the things about all of it was that it wasn't her fault, far from it. Bo tried to tell Kenzi that it was dangerous, she's been telling me that it's going to be dangerous, but we both refuse to listen. In any case if something did happen to us it was our own fault. We are staying on our own accord. Nobody was forcing us, we just refused to let Bo deal with this alone.

"What's taking them so long?" Bo snaps and runs her hand through her hair and sits next to me. "A doctor should've come out by now."

I place my hand lightly in her knee, "Honey, just give them some time okay? They have to get her stable we don't know..."

"That's the thing Lauren. We don't know." she throws her hands up in frustration. "For fucks sake, we don't know who did this, although I have a pretty good fucking idea, we don't even know if she's going to make it." Bo puts her elbows on her knees and rests her forehead in her hands, "If she doesn't make it Lauren I don't know what I'll do."

I could see her heartbreak even if I couldn't see her face. Her body was rigid and she was slightly shaking. I wrap my arm around her waist and lay my head on her shoulder. "Babe, everything's going to be fine. Kenzi's a fighter, she won't give up when we are waiting here for her."

Bo looks up at me with watery eyes and the doctor that called Bo walks in with his face mask around his neck, Bo and I stand immediately, "Hi I'm , you must be Kenzi's family." he holds his hand out and we both shake it.

Bo sighs heavily and runs a hand through her hair, "How is she? Is she okay? Can I see her?" Bo asks frantically.

The doctor chuckles and lays his hand on Bo's forearm, "You're sister is perfectly fine. She lost a lot of blood. The bullet went through the left side if her neck and down through her collarbone. Whoever was firing that gun did it from up above I would suppose." he sighs heavily. "She is getting stitched up and then she'll be headed to ICU in a bit."

"Can we see her?" I ask hopeful.

He smiles and nods, "She'll be out for a bit and she's going to stay here for a few days, just in case something goes wrong."

I nod, "We understand, thank you very much ."

He nods, "The receptionist will tell you where she's headed and you can wait there for her."

"Thanks doc." Bo says and sighs heavily.

I move to stand in front of her and cup her cheek, "Together?" I ask and kiss her softly.

"Together." she says her voice cracking slightly.

"You go and get the information from the receptionist and I'll call the detective."

Bo looks at me and puts slightly, "Please don't go too far. Please." she begs as her eyes glass over.

I put my forehead to hers and kiss her nose, "I'm not going to go anywhere. I'll be right where everybody can see me." She looks at me and reluctantly walks away. God this is going to be tough.

I pull out my cell phone and dial Detective Tamsin, the phone rings three times before she actually answered. "Speak." her gruff voice says.

I chuckle, "Hello Detective this is ."

"Hello there, how are you doing Lauren?" she asks a little too enthusiastic.

"Um, I could be better." I say and look towards Bo as she talks to the receptionist who is eying her in a less than friendly way.

"Is everything okay?" She asks, her voice full of concern, "What happened?"

I push down my jealousy and focus on the task at hand, "Well, Kenzi, she's in the hospital. Um, she was shot and we think Dyson has something to do with it."

There's a pause."I'll be right there, what hospital?"

"Downtown." I say.

"I'll be there soon." she says and hung up the phone.

I sigh heavily and put my phone in my back pocket before I walk over to Bo. "Did you get where she is?"

She nods and whispers quietly, "Yeah, I did." Bo places her hand on the small of my back and leads us down a few halls, making sure to look at the room numbers. When we came to the right room Bo peeked in and found Kenzi already situated into the hospital bed. She looked smaller than she usually did in the bed wrapped in blankets and hooked up the tubes. It was a painful sight to see. We walk into the room and Bo kneels next to Kenzi's bedside, grabbing her hand. "Oh Kenz." she whispers before kissing the back if her hand and laying her forehead in it. It really tore me up to see my new family in such a state. We didn't even get to tell her about the engagement. What if we never got to tell her? What if we lost her forever? Kenzi was a very different girl but she was a part of this family and I loved her all the same. From the way she would empty my fridge to the way she would tease me and Bo about our sex life. She was just someone you couldn't shake. Someone you didn't want to. "Lo?"

Bo's soft voice pulls me out if my musing and I look up at her. "Yes honey?"

"Could you call the detective? I'm ready to get this over with." she says glancing at me with red eyes and then looking back at Kenzi.

"It's already taken care of, she's on her way." I say reassuringly.

Bo just nods and lays her head in Kenzi's lap, crying softly. Kenzi was her sister, her best friend, of course she would be shattered that something had happened to her. "Psst, Lauren." I hear a quiet voice call me from the hall causing me to turn and find Tamsin standing behind me leaning against the wall. "Come here." she whispers again and motions to me with her hand.

I walk to Bo and kiss the crown of her head, "The detective is here, I won't be long." I reassure when I see her eyes light up with panic. "Love you." I whisper and kiss her head one more time before getting up and walking into the hallway.

Tamsin was leaning against the wall in casual clothing. Unlike her normal slacks and button up shirt, Tamsin was wearing jeans with a white tank top and black converse. She looked very relaxed. "How is she?" the gruff voice asks.

I sigh heavily and run a hand through my hair, "She's okay, they said she was lucky that the damn bullet didn't kill her. It went straight through her collar bone and a part of her neck." I sigh again. "She lost a lot of blood so they have to keep her here for some time."

Tamsin nods, "I'll get a private agent to come and watch her room...just in case." she says and sighs. "Anything else you know about it?"

I shake my head, "No but my hypothesis is that he's getting impatient and only said he was waiting because he wanted us to get comfortable. And that's what we did." I sigh and run a hand through my hair. "If we weren't we would've went with Kenzi to the store."

Tamsin nods, "Okay, well we are going to have a security team watching Bo's house and yours just in case." she takes a step towards me, a little too much of a step, and I stiffen. "We'll get him okay Lauren." she says softly and brushes some of my hair behind my ear.

"Lo, baby..." Bo says coming out of the room but stops as she see Tamsin take a quick step away from me. "Um, am I interrupting something?" she asks and folds her arms over her chest, hurt written all of her face.

I walk over to her and try to unfold her arms but she takes a step back, "Babe, nothing's going on." I sigh.

"Then what was she doing?" Bo asks, glaring daggers at Tamsin.

I look back at Tamsin who is staring at anything but us. "I'm not really sure what she was doing actually." I looked back at Bo who had taken another step back away from me. "Bo, we were talking about what happened with Kenz, she took a step to me and brushed some hair behind my ear, then you came out. That's all that happened."

Bo huffed, "And why didn't you just take a step back?"

"I froze up." she scoffs and tries to walk past me but I grab her wrist and pull her to me. "Bee you know that I want you and only you, I wouldn't have said yes if that wasn't true." I say softly and pull her to me so I could cup her cheek. "No one woman or man couldn't even compare to you. You have my heart and soul, there's nothing to worry about." I look back at the detective with a raised eyebrow. "Right detective?"

Tamsin blinks a few times, clearing her thoughts, "Um, yeah, nothing here."

I turn back to Bo, "See there's.." before I could finish she grabs my face between her hands and pushes her mouth to mine. It caught me off guard and I had to take a step back but it didn't take me long to respond to Bo's kiss. She just let all of her emotions flow through her into me. Love, want, possession, she wanted me to know it all. All of the emotion had caught me off guard just as much as the kiss did and I she's a single tear and pull away from her. Both of our breaths were labored and short. "Wow." I say breathlessly and kiss her nose. "I love you too, forever."

Bo runs her thumb over my check, wiping the fallen tear. "Good, because I'm in this for the long haul."

Tamsin clears her throat and I turn to look at her still wrapped in Bo's embrace. "Um, I just got a call from the office, I have to go."

"Is everything alright?" I ask and untangle myself from Bo's arms.

"Um, I think so, although I'm not really sure." she slides her phone back into her coat pocket and takes out her keys. "A private agent will be here to guard your friend in about thirty minutes. I suggest you stay with her as a precaution."

Bo comes up behind me and places a hand on the small of my back, "I appreciate your help detective I really do, but if you don't want any problems with me I suggest you keep your hands off my fiancée." Bo says, venom laced throughout her words.

"Is that a threat to an official ?" Tamsin asks with a raised eyebrow, expecting Bo to back down.

Of course she doesn't, that's just not Bo's style, "I don't make threats detective, I make promises. Hands of the fiancée."

Tamsin just nods and walks away. I could feel that this wasn't over and now that she knew it bugged Bo she would probably do stuff just to get her worked up. I only thought of Tamsin as a business associate, nothing more, so really there was nothing Bo had to worry about. "Easier said than done." I think I myself and chuckle before walking back into Kenzi's room.

Bo follows closely behind, "What's so funny?" she asks.

I shake my head with a chuckle, "You're so jealous." I say and shoot her a smile. "There's nothing you have to worry about Bee. I'm not going anywhere."

"I trust you, it's her I don't trust. There's something off." she says with her brow furrowed. Bo was quite adorable when she got like this I had to admit.

I shrug and wrap my arms around her neck to bring her into a hug. "I am all yours, nobody else's. You don't have to worry. I love you."

Bo hugs me back and lays her forehead on my shoulder and inhales. "God, you feel so good." she sighs and squeezes me tighter.

I was getting lost in the feeling in of Bo's body against her when there's a noise from Kenzi's bed. "Ew gross, don't bang bunnies in my room." Kenzi says groggily. "I'm still injured."

Bo pulls away from me and drops on the side of her best friend's bed. "Hey Kenz how ya feelin?" she asks and takes her hand. "You okay?"

Kenzi reaches up and puts one hand on her throat, "H2O." she rasps.

I chuckle and hand her the bottle of water that the nurses had left for her. "Hey there." I say as open the water and hand it to her.

She chugs about half the bottle before staring at me, "You look diff Hotpants."

I chuckle, "How? Nothing much has changed in the past few hours."

"But something has." she says through squinted eyes. Nothing could really get past Kenzi so it would only be a matter of time before she figured it out herself. "Bo?" she says and directs her attention to her best friend. "What's going on Bodacious?"

Bo smiles wide and our eyes lock. I feel my mouth tug into a wide smile, "Nothing." Bo says and winks at me.

"Oh to the Em to the Gee!" she exclaims and hits Bo with her good arm. "You guys so did not even."

I tear my eyes away from Bo and look at Kenzi. "What?"

"Are you guys getting married? Don't bullshit me now."
