Bo pulled Kenzi and Lauren aside.
"Ladies. Tamsin and I are about to take off for a bit. We have a case we are working on. Dyson will stay behind in case Evony or any of the Dark Fae attempt an attack".
"OK Bobo, no worries", said Kenzi
Lauren was worried though. What did Bo want with Tamsin now? They never even discussed Tamsin's kiss, not even when Lauren called Bo out on it the night she caught her with Evony. Lauren just shook her head and wished them well on their case.
Bo went up to pack a bag.
"Tamsin, you ready?
"Yep, let's go.
"Well what shall we all do?
"The Dal? Watch another movie? Kenzi asked.
"Well I didn't get to tell you guys, I'm no longer tied to the Dark Fae, Evony released me from our contract before they elect a new DF leader", said a happy Lauren.
"What? That's great Doc, I hope you got that shit in writing", said Kenzi
"I do and I will make copies of my copy", said Lauren
"Smart girl, now for another movie?
"Sure".
Two days of nothing but pizza, booze and movies later, Bo and Tamsin had returned.
"Hey guys", said Tamsin running into the crab shack.
"Tam tam, you're back", said Kenzi.
"Where's Bo?
"She went to the Dal. She said she would be home in about 2 hours".
"Is everything Ok? Lauren asked softly
"Everything if fine Lauren. What are you guys watching? Tamsin asked.
"Star Wars. Turns out hotpants here is a fan too", said Kenzi
"Cool", said Tamsin pouring a glass of wine.
"Trick I understand about Aife. I haven't forgiven you guys for that yet but I really need your help on this".
"Ok Bo, Ok", said Trick.
"Good. Now I need everyone to follow my exact instructions, it will be up to you to make sure they come as asked, if not don't allow them into the Dal until they do, agreed?
"Agreed", said Trick.
"Bo I have something for you", said Trick handing her a box.
Bo looked at the box it said "Isabeau". She looked in it and asked "Are you sure?
"I'm sure Bo", he smiled.
Dyson walked in and Bo whispered somethng in his ear.
"Can you get that done asap? she asked.
"You got it Bo, I can call in some serious favors", he said.
"Good, good", said Bo.
The next morning they all received invitations that read:
"You are cordially invited to a celebratory party being thrown at the Dal. It will be hosted by Fitzpatrick McCorrigan. Men are asked to wear black suits. Women are asked to wear white dresses". Please attend as it is important to him".
Lauren panicked. She didn't have a white dress. "I must go shopping", she whispered.
Kenzi had to go shopping too and not wanting to have the same dress, she chose a different store than the one Lauren was going to and she took Aife with her.
Two days later Lauren, Kenzi, Aife, and Dyson showed up to the Dal.
It was beautiful. The Dal was decorated in black and white. There were a mixture of chairs in black and white split down the middle of the was dresed in black too. Tables were lined up near the walls with food from all over. Black and white napkins, and cutlery were on both ends of the tables.
There were a lot of people dressed just like the invitation had requested. There was a gentlemen sitting at the bar that nobody had seen before.
Trick started passing out Hors d'oeuvres.
"Mmmm, those are good", they all agreed.
Evony walked in and even she was dressed in all white.
"What are you doing here", Dyson bristled.
"Dyson, it's ok, she was on the guest list", said Trick
"I doubt that", said Kenzi
"Btw where is Tamsin and Bo?
"I'm here" said Tamsin nearly tripping as she ran in.
Thirty minutes had passed and the party was in full swing.
Soft music was playing and waiters served the guests.
"Does anyone know what this party is really about? asked Lauren.
"Its about you", said Bo coming up from Trick's lair.
"Bo?
"It's about you Lauren Lewis", said Bo.
"Bo what's going on?
"You'll never have to run because I'm right here. Your past as Karen Beattie, will never catch up to you again because thanks to contacts of mine, we've cut your past off at the knees. The world will only know of Lauren Lewis. My Lauren. The love of my life Lauren. The after hours Lauren that I think of 24 hours a day. The beautiful Lauren that is standing in front of me right now. I love you Lauren, said Bo getting down on one knee.
"Will you marry me?
Tears were forming in Bo's eyes.
Lauren saw them with her own tears forming. She grabbed Bo's hands lifting her back to her feet and said "Yes I will marry you!
Bo opened the box Trick had given her, inside was her Grandmother's rings that she slipped on Lauren's hand.
"Then Lauren Lewis, let's get married", said Bo motioning to the stranger sitting at the bar, a Priest of the Fae.
"Bo? Now?
Bo started to walk off, "Well if you don't want to I understand".
"Get back here Bo, I do!
Bo laughed, "No that comes later in the ceremony".
She kissed Lauren softly on the lips.
Kenzi stepped in "Can I be your bridesmaid Bobo?
"Yes Kenzi, you never had to ask", smiled Bo.
"Ok you need something new, a bottle of your best Champagne Trick, she asked, something blue, she handed her a Handkerchief, something borrowed, she gave her a bracelet...wait something old...something old...
They heard someone running upstairs to join them.
"Old enough little mama", asked Hale.
"Hale! Kenzi screamed as she ran into his arms
Kenzi looked at Bo, How?
"I will explain it all later Kenzi", Bo said warmly
"Everybody ready? Bo asked as she turned to the guests.
"Yes! They all said clapping.
"Please be seated", the Priest asked of the guests.
Bo and Lauren stood in front of him holding hands but they couldn't hold back their tears.
They reached the vow portion of the ceremony and the Priest pointed to Bo.
"Lauren. For the longest time I found myself running, the day I found you my feet stopped. They stopped because I knew I would never need to run again. We had just met and after our first meet. You already knew what I was. Who I was and you never treated me like the monster I thought I was. You never allowed me to fall into the darkness that plagued my mind and life for so many years. I would never know darkness again because you have been the light of my life for what seems like an eternity now. I promise to love, honor and cherish you for the rest of our time together. I love you Lauren Lewis. Do you take me Bo Dennis to be your wife?
"I do", said Lauren with tears flowing down her face like a river.
"Bo. For the longest time I felt caged. Caged to a life I thought I would never be free from. When I met you, I saw that freedom in your eyes. I found it in your soul. I swam in it inside of your heart. WhenI touched you for the first time I felt the locks of my cage loosen. The chains that held my mind down started to loosen the first time we kissed. In that moment I knew I wouldn't want anything more for the rest of my life. You are the breaths that I allowed myself to take because I thought I needed permission to do so. I never needed permission to fall in love with you. I just did and I have never stopped loving you and I never will. I promise to love, honor and cherish you for the rest of our time together. I love you Bo Dennis. Do you take me Lauren Lewis to be your wife?
"Of course I do", said Bo with tears flowing down her face like a river too.
"Then by the power vested in me by the Fae. I now pronounce you married", said the Priest.
"You may kiss your wife", he smiled.
They both lunged at each other like it was their first kiss ever. "I love you", they whispered in unison.
The Dal erupted in thunderous applause.
"Isabeau. You're married", said Aife whispering to them with tears in her eyes.
She softly embraced Lauren. "I don't know you all that well, but from what I just heard, you complete my daughter".
"She completes me too", said Lauren with tears still streaming.
Trick approached them.
"Since you both don't have fathers here, may I have the first dance with both of you?
"Of course", said the both of them.
Once that dance was over, "May I have this dance wife of mine? asked Lauren.
"Why yes my wife, I will dance with your forever", said Bo smiling with the biggest smile Lauren had ever seen.
"I love you Lauren Lewis", said Bo
"Lewis? My last name is Dennis now Bo", she smiled.
"Oops does that mean I will have to sleep on the couch tonight?
"Hmmm I don't remember if they have couches in Egypt".
"Wait, what?
"Thanks to a very generous Evony I booked that trip to Egypt you suggested years ago".
"But I thought you had already seen Eypt Mrs. Dennis?
"Well yes Lauren Lewis has already seen it. But Lauren Dennis wants to see it through your eyes Bo Dennis".
"How soon do we leave?
"As soon as we get out of here", said Lauren.
"Oooooo Ok but please allow me time to talk to Kenzi first".
"Sure, but don't keep me waiting long", Lauren said panting.
"Kenzi! Bo screamed.
Kenzi had her arms all over Hale.
"Bobo we gotta make this quick".
"Long story short I gave my crank box to my Grandmother so nobody can open it again. Tamsin and I traded Rainer's life for Hale's. He's back for good".
"Bo!
"I know Kenzi and you're welcome", said Bo grabbing her tightly.
"Thanks Bo!
"Kenzi, you're welcome", she laughed
"Now my wife is waiting for me", said Bo almost running to Lauren.
"I am so happy for you Bo, seriously".
"Thanks gotta go".
Aife clinked her glass to draw attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen. I have an announcement to make before I get to the wives", she said.
"I have just been informed that I have been elected the new leader of the Dark Fae. So don't nobody get any ideas about attacking my daughter or her wife".
"Mom?
"What. Just laying down my first law, Isabeau", she smiled.
"Now for my second law and as mother of the brides, they will be off limits to everyone connected to the Dark and Light Fae. No touching, Don't even breathe on them wrong". Got it? Good", she said.
"Lauren are you sure, you can get away long enough for a trip? asked a worried Bo.
"I am positive Bo. Evony gave me weeks off from the clinic while I decide what I want to do".
"Then I guess there is nothing holding us back. Let's get out of here and get out of our dresses even faster".
They started to leave when Kenzi asked "Which one of you will throw the bouquet?
They grabbed the bouquet, called for all single ladies and tossed it together.
"Looks like you're next Kenzi", they both said laughing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, grab your rice. Me and my wife are out of here", said Lauren.
They were chased to their waiting limo.
They climbed in picking rice out of their hair.
"Champagne my love? asked Lauren
Bo made sure the divider was pulled up in the front of the limo.
She took a sip and said "MMm tasty. But not as tasty as you", she said as she started licking Lauren's neck.
The end.
