A day had passed. Bo and Lauren had been resting and healing. Well Bo healed. Lauren had never felt more alive in all the years from her previous life.
It worried Bo. Everything about Lauren worried Bo. It had from the moment she learned Lauren was a human working in the Fae world. Sure Kenzi is human too, but she wasn't exposed to them at all hours of the day, and night. Bo had overlooked a lot of Lauren's old life. How she was pulled around, pushed around, and spread around without any reward or gratitude. Which leads her back to Dyson, and his obvious hatred of the Doctor that Bo had missed, or dismissed as him being him.
Bo was sitting on the edge of their freshly made bed as Lauren showered. The Doctor needed to be a Doctor, and Bo wasn't about to deny her of her second love, as long as it meant she was coming back to her first love at the end of the day.
Bo didn't have a nine to five, so for now it gave her a chance to go and see Dyson. Before the Queen got to him. She had promised her granddaughter that she would allow her first crack at him. Bo wanted it too. She thought their last talk about Lauren was good enough, but Dyson needed a refresher course on the lesson he missed, or dismissed. Bo wasn't sure which one it is. Shaking her head, she lifted it when she heard the bathroom door opening. Once the steam evaporated, Bo's eyes flashed blue.
"Bo". Lauren said softly putting her hair up into a ponytail.
Bo sat stiff. She didn't even think she was blinking. She didn't want to miss a minute of the beauty in motion before her.
"Bo! Lauren laughed again. The brunette's eyes had yet to go back to brown. That's all she had seen the last few days. Bo and her hungry at all hours Succubus. She had to admit when they used to make love it was fantastic, but now that she was back, it became phenomenal. Lauren heard Bo growl, and knew what was coming.
"You promised. You promised me that you didn't have any reservations about me going into the office today". Lauren smiled softly.
Bo's Succubus poked at Bo to take control again. "Sorry. Sorry. Yes of course I am fine with you going to work. As long as it's work and not a marathon".
"Whew. I thought your Succubus was hungry again". Lauren laughed.
"We are always hungry for you". Bo said biting her bottom lip.
"I just want to go into the office and check on a few recurring patients. To make sure they are getting the best treatment possible. Some are old patients that have never trusted Doctors, but learned to trust me, and my staff". Lauren explained.
Bo sighed. Lauren amazed her. Really amazed her. The Doctor in Lauren was like Bo's Succubus. There to protect and care for the ones she loved and humans she didn't know personally.
"Ok. I will drive you, so I can make sure you don't stay too long. I know how you can get lost in your work". Bo cooed taking Lauren into her arms.
"Good. Now go shower. I don't wanna be late". Lauren smiled smacking Bo on her ass.
Bo's eyes flashed blue again from the touch. Shaking her head, she smiled as her eyes faded back to brown. Licking her lips she grabbed her outfit for the day and ran to the shower.
Kenzi and Dagny
"Up and at em kid. Mama K has stuff to do, and people to see". Kenzi said slapping Dagny on her back.
"What? It's early! Dagny groaned looking at a clock that read 10 AM.
"You have a Dr's appointment, and I have to meet with the Queen. So get up and shower. I already picked out your clothes". Kenzi said pulling the Valkyrie out of the bed. They had stayed with Queen Isabeau while Bo and Lauren rested. Or resting was how Kenzi had explained it to Dagny.
"A Doctor's appointment? I hate Doctors! Dagny groaned as Kenzi helped her to their bathroom.
"Don't worry. It's Lauren. She will only half poke ya". Kenzi laughed.
Dagny groaned again but gave in. The quicker she went to Lauren, the quicker the tests would be over. She had to admit she did feel a little different than yesterday. One minute she was five and then she looked fourteen.
Queen Isabeau and Aife.
The Queen and Aife were walking the grounds. Her makeshift castle was ok, but she was ready for the real thing. It was spacious and not as old as the previous one. They will have plenty of rooms for overnight guests too. Everything was to the Queen's specifications. Aife offered some tips. She wasn't ready to take the throne yet, she was too busy having fun as only a Princess.
"What do you want to do with him? Aife asked as they slowly walked side by side.
"He has been given bread and water. It's my understanding Bo hasn't gone to see him yet. I promised her I wouldn't see him until she has". Queen Isabeau explained.
"You really don't like the way he treated Lauren do you? Aife laughed. Bread and water? Their other prisoners had been given a lot more than that. Some received four course meals.
"No. He was an ass to her for no reason. He didn't like humans? Well what is Kenzi? It made no sense". Queen Isabeau said.
"That's true". Aife said looking down at her feet.
"Lauren was Bo's mate back then, and she's her mate now. He should have been bowing to the Doctor and given her whatever she wanted. When she wanted it". Queen Isabeau snapped with her eyes flashing blue.
"Mom are you ok? Aife asked softly.
"I should have taken Dagny. He nearly screwed everything up with Hades. The plan was in place, he knew it, he broke it". Queen Isabeau snapped again. She wasn't Trick. When she ordered something to be done, she wanted it done her way, or else.
"I think he was thralled mom. Not that I would ever defend him, but maybe this Flora really looked liked Lauren". Aife said taking her mother's arm into her hand.
"Which meant he didn't wear the Koushang. You, me, and Lauren were ready for Hades. Dyson being Dyson thought he could do things his way, and looked where it got him, in my dirtiest dungeon". Queen Isabeau explained.
"Yeah. He forgot that the Koushang would keep Hades from thralling him, and not just stop Bo's mass chi suck". Aife laughed. She never told Bo that part of the story. Wearing it not only protected people from a Succubus attack, it protected them against Dark thralls, and Hades was as Dark as could be.
"It was the only way your father could sleep with me, without me draining him too. Dyson knows all of this, and went against me! Queen Isabeau snapped again.
"Isabeau is here. She is likely ready to see him. Why don't you go rest a bit, and I will come for you when she's done". Aife smiled softly.
"Yes. Yes. I will rest my eyes a bit. Isabeau doesn't need to see me like this. She's constantly worried about Dr. Lewis and my aura will give my mood away". Queen Isabeau smiled softly. Bo wasn't just her namesake, besides Aife, she's her pride and joy.
"Good. Now let's get you to your room, and quickly too". Aife smiled gently pulling the Queen down the hall.
Aife smiled as she helped the Queen lay down in her bed. When she closed her eyes, the younger Succubus turned to leave the room.
Dyson
Dyson had been growling for hours. He was pissed off that he was only given bread and water, when he could smell other food close by.
None of this was his fault. None of this would have happened had Bo pictured herself in his memories as Dyson's lover. Lauren looked that much like Flora, but Bo never needed to know that. To imagine that.
He and Lauren didn't have the tainted existence they had before, but she wasn't worthy of Bo, he was. He had been biding his time for years waiting for her human life to take her. And when it did, he thought his time had come. That's why he was trying so hard to break into their house. To get Lauren's body away from Bo, so they could bury her, and they could get on with their lives. He would call it destiny, but Rainer ruined that word for him for centuries to come.
He paced back, and forth in the tiny dungeon. He was sure it was meant for short people. The fact that they had put him in it seemed personal. If he was honest, everything about all of it seemed personal. The brief moment he was dead. Nobody came for him. He was already at the gates of Vahalla with a woman named Freyja's help. She was close to assigning him to his space before Bo's Succubus started pulling him back.
Two Succubus went after Lauren, and only one came for him. He knew Aife wasn't at all fond of him, but Isabeau had known of him, and his loyalty to the thrones of the Blood King and Queen. He was ready to get out of there. Go for a ride. Something to clear his head, and find something else to do. He was loyal to Bo, that didn't mean he had to bend over and take whatever involved Lauren. Lauren never realized what she had in Bo. She left her time, and time again. Either it was because of the Ash, Taft, that one night with Crystal, or the Morrigan. Dyson had always been there waiting with open arms or an open pool table, or bed.
The only time he was purposely away from Bo was when he went to figure out how he was going to tell her that he lost his love. It was a lonely feeling knowing the last time his wolf mated with someone, was now gone. He wasn't even sure he would ever get it back. He only had one thing left to bargain with the Norn with, and that was his wolf. But if he gave that up to get his love back, he would practically be a human like Lauren. No. His wolf was his ace in the hole. Fae. Something Lauren only treated, and could never be. That is until she died and the royal Succubi stepped in.
What made Lauren so worthy? If they could do that, why couldn't they do that for him? Show him some loyalty and love. That's all he had shown Bo before his lost and got his love back. He growled in anger again. He needed air, and not the kind that reeked of rat piss.
Bo
Bo had seen and talked to Aife. She was told that the Queen was resting and was ready to see Dyson but only after Bo had seen him. It angered her. It felt like Dyson had put her mother and grandmother in the middle of his resentment of Lauren. It angered her. She had not noticed his fraud aura.
Before they fought Hades the first time, they had talked about Lauren. She thought they had reached an understanding about Bo's love for her. That it wasn't a phase. That it wasn't going away no matter how much Dyson wished it would.
It angers her that she had allowed so many people come between them. The first Ash and his need to always be in a meeting with Lauren. The second Ash. Dyson. Even Kenzi had her own rants about the Doctor. Evony. The worst of all, Rainer. Looking back on it now, he wasn't really a threat to them, Bo just used him as such to keep Lauren away and thus keeping the pain of Bo's broken heart out of her face.
She and her Succubus internally argued over all of them. Her nature preferred Lauren, but Bo preferred a less loving relationship. She knew Dyson was in love with her, but he would never tell her no. Not like she thought Lauren had been until the Doctor finally confessed what she was doing with Evony. But once they kissed again during the blackout, all of Bo was in agreement. They were back in sync. Lauren was in their arms. Bo's heart was mended. Even when Lauren broke up with her a second time, she knew they would be again. She just needed to wait. Hades was a bastard but he gave her a distraction no Fae case could ever do. Then Lauren was on the hood of her car, and the rest was history.
Bo growled again as she neared Dyson's dungeon. She heard clicks from every door she passed. She wasn't coming for them, she was coming for him. She slowly walked trying to calm down, but it wasn't working much. She thought of the kiss Lauren gave her before she climbed out of Bo's car, and it made her warm up a bit. But her hands went cold again when she grabbed the doorknob.
"Come with me! Bo snapped opening the door, and finding the shifter crouching on the floor.
"You came for me. Finally". Dyson smiled warmly.
"I said get out here! Bo snapped again while extending her hand in the direction that she wanted him to go.
Dyson groaned but did as he was told. He knew Bo was angry, but their talk would soften her mood. Their previous talks always did.
Bo pushed Dyson when he wasn't walking fast enough. He obviously hadn't been allowed to shower or even trim his beard. In human form, he looked and reeked of his wolf or whatever he had found to snack on in there.
"I'm surprised you came and got me. I thought the Queen would". Dyson said as his words echoed around the hallway.
"I am talking to you first. You are lucky I didn't have you dragged by your balls down the hall". Bo snapped.
Bruce bowed to Bo when they reached the cleanest room on the floor. "It's ready Your Highness".
"Thank you Bruce. You can go". Bo said softly. Dyson rolled his eyes at how a once Dark Fae Ogre was getting softer tones than he was.
"Yes ma'am. The Queen will be down shortly". Bruce announced.
"Ok". Bo smiled.
Kenzi, Lauren and Dagny.
"She's all yours Doc. I have errands to run. Text me when you're done, and I will pick her up". Kenzi said pushing Dagny into Lauren's office.
"But...but". Dagny groaned.
"Thanks Kenzi". Lauren said softly standing up behind her desk.
"You got it. Later". Kenzi said waving goodbye to both women.
"This isn't gonna hurt is it? Dagny asked shyly.
"Not at all. I just need to poke you a few times, and run some tests. Looking at you, looks like you aged again. You're almost an adult, and I want to see what's going on inside". Lauren explained.
Dagny nodded and turned her head. Lauren hadn't always been gentle with her needles before. It didn't hurt but the needles looked awful.
"How has your hair been? You haven't been shedding have you? Lauren asked.
"Not that I know of. I have a brush in my purse if you want to see it". Dagny said softly.
"Sure". Lauren said after filling up the last vial and setting it down on a small tray.
Dagny pulled her hair brush out, and handed it to Lauren. Lauren put on her goggles and studied it closely. She wanted to make sure there wasn't a single strand on it.
"Nope you're good". Lauren smiled softly. She could have gotten technical but didn't want to confuse her patient.
"Now what? Dagny asked.
"I have a gameroom down the hall, you can go there and play games while I run the tests". Lauren said.
"Can't Kenzi come and get me now? Dagny asked.
"I want the tests to be completed today. If something happens I might need to draw some more blood, and that means poke you again. You don't want to have to come back for that do you? Lauren asked.
"No. No. I'll stay. Thanks". Dagny said.
"Of course. Marissa will show you where the gameroom is". Lauren smiled as her nurse took the tray and walked towards the door.
"Yes Dr. Lewis". Marissa said nodding for Dagny to follow her.
Dagny was immediately impressed by the gameroom. It even had some old arcade games that Kenzi once mentioned. She was so eager to try them so she could beat her the next time they played. She didn't even need quarters.
Bo and Dyson
The sound of the duo's feet was the only thing that could be heard as they finally entered the room. Dyson went in first as Bo closed the door behind her.
"Bo...". Dyson started.
"What the hell was that? Nearly attacking Lauren! Were you out of you fucking mind? You knew the plan and you broke it! Bo snapped.
"Bo I thought it was Flora! She looked just like her, the last time I saw her! Dyson snapped.
"You fucking idiot! I remember the last time you saw Flora and she was dressed nothing like Lauren. Now you tell me what that was really about! Bo snapped. She was nearly ready to attack him herself.
"After you went into my memories, I couldn't get Flora out of my mind. She was everywhere, in everything. When I look Lauren, I see Flora in corporeal form again, and it hurts. It brings back every moment and memory I had with her". Dyson explained.
"So you were lying to me then when you said you didn't know where the Helskor shoe was. You were lying to me when you said you had no idea where Angel had gone. Is she the reason you liked Kenzi and never Lauren? Bo asked angrily.
"What? Angel looked nothing like Kenzi Bo. That was your imagination". Dyson said walking to the other side of the room.
"As my Dawning was yours, or did you think I had forgotten how you were suddenly a Doctor and Lauren was a cop? Bo snapped. She hadn't forgotten about that.
Dyson hung his head. Bo's Dawning was nice. It was everything he dreamed it to be. Bo liked Doctors, even if he didn't know what he was doing, he had to try and see if she found him as sexy and geeky in scrubs, as she found Lauren.
"What nothing to say now? I can have you taken back to new rat city". Bo said walking towards the door.
"You belong with me Bo! You have always belonged with me! She's not the one for you, no matter how much you, the Queen and Aife think so! I mated with you! You belong to me! And speaking of your Dawning, your Succubus saved me remember!? Dyson snapped with his voice holding Bo in her tracks.
"In case you have forgotten my Succubus saved Kenzi and Lauren first! You know the humans. The humans you always mocked Lauren for being and spat on even though Kenzi is human too! Bo snapped turning around to him.
"She spoke before she brought me back Bo! Kenzi has it on film! Dyson snapped.
"She spoke after she saved Lauren from the Lich, so sorry sweetie, we don't belong to you. I, we belong to her. Lauren. The Doctor. The one person you could always hide from me, like you did mom, but never kill". Bo spat.
Dyson was floored. Bo had never told him that her Succubus spoke after killing the Lich. He only thought she meant that she killed him and his entourage.
"Bo I can fix this. Fix us. Just give me one last chance. If it doesn't work out, then you can go back to Lauren". Dyson pleaded.
Bo snapped. She flew across the room without even trying, and punched Dyson clean in his face. "I am done wasting my time and energy here. Come to grips with me and Lauren, or don't. But if you ever imply that I leave Lauren for anyone again, you will feel a lot more than my fist!
Dyson growled and when he stood up to run after Bo, he was slammed against the far wall instead.
"Grandmother is coming to talk to you next. If you spew this shit to her, I doubt you will live long enough to howl at the next moon". Bo said with her eyes flashing blue.
"Are you done Your Highness? Bruce asked.
"Tell grandmother he is all hers to do with as she sees fit". Bo said slowly, and nodded as Bruce bowed.
"Bo! Bo come back! Dyson screamed but the Succubus was now gone.
"On your feet wolf". Queen Isabeau said entering the room as Bruce held the door for her.
"No offense my Queen but I've already had a bad afternoon". Dyson groaned standing and bowing before taking his seat again.
"Yes so I've heard. You really pissed all of us off. Before I decide what to do with you next, you better have a damn good explanation of what happened during the battle". Queen Isabeau said slowly sitting in the plush chair Bruce had carried in.
"I...I thought she was Flora". Dyson said softly bowing his head.
"I will ask you one last time, and do not lie to me this time. Your aura is saying everything that your mouth isn't". Queen Isabeau said tapping her fingers on her lap.
"You weren't alive when it happened. But I mated with Bo. Gave my love up for her, and when I got it back, I was in love with her even more". Dyson said.
"There is one thing you are not saying wolf, or admitting to". Queen Isabeau said.
"My Queen? Dyson said raising his head.
"When you died in Bo's Dawning, your ties to her died too. She never mated with you, so you have been pursuing the wrong woman. I believe Laveau explained that to you as well". Queen Isabeau said.
It angered Dyson then, and it was angering him now, but he couldn't show that to this Succubus.
"You're angry, and I don't care. But I will grant you one more explanation as to why I should spare your life. I understand Bo doesn't care what I do with you, and after you went against my wishes, some dog should be burying your bones by now". Queen Isabeau said.
"I love Bo. I know I screwed up, but I deserve to stay in her life. I deserve another chance to be your top Royal Guard". Dyson explained.
"You deserve my foot up your ass. You better hope it's me and not Aife should we decide you deserve it. You deserve to stay in that dungeon again because all you can think of is Bo. That is dangerous to Bo and her relationship. I am well aware of the tricks you pulled trying to keep them apart. When Lauren told you that they broke up, you got an erection thinking of running off and having Bo again. She wasn't yours to have. She never was. All that wolves mate for life was wasted on her. She was in love with Lauren then, she was just too young to realize it. Every time you slept with her, she was thinking of Lauren, wanting her, missing her taste. You owe Trick your misery. He knew who Bo was the minute she was mentioned. He knew Aife was coming because Lou Ann had told her. He used you, and your nature to spy on her. Keep her in your bed and under his surveillance. You have wasted years of your life, conniving and chasing the wrong woman. You tried to get past her with Ciara, Kenzi and Alicia, but she was still the wrong woman. As far as Lauren dying and you getting your chance, well I guess you have seen, we were never going to allow her to die and stay dead. Now boy, I have schooled you like the student of the Fae you continue to be, even after thousands of years. Bo is Lauren's, and Lauren is Bo's. How do you think Lauren went in and out of your memories, that was us. Lauren is the number one reason Aife and I are back, we owe her more than even you could understand. Get used to it, because you are going to be down here until I think you have". Queen Isabeau explained.
"But my Queen". Dyson pleaded.
"Bruce! Queen Isabeau screamed.
"Yes my Queen? Bruce answered entering the room.
"Take this chair back to where you found it, and the wolf back to his cage". Queen Isabeau said.
"Am I to...". Bruce said mocking someone's throat being sliced.
"No. No. He will live down there until I hear he's better". Queen Isabeau said.
"Very well". Bruce bowed as the Queen walked past him, out of the room and down the hall.
"Come on Dyson. Orders are orders. You know she's nothing like Trick. You're lucky she didn't slice your nuts in half". Bruce said pulling the shifter back down the hall.
Dyson rolled his eyes. This was embarrassing. His imprisonment was embarrassing. He was glad when Bruce let him walk on his own.
He bowed his head and entered his room.
"Dinner will be served soon". Bruce said.
"Can I get more than bread and water? Dyson asked.
"No. That's the Queen's standing order for you". Bruce said closing and locking the door.
Queen Isabeau and Aife.
"Are you ok mom? You look flushed". Aife said walking up to her mother.
"It's Dyson. You were right. He's a pompous ass, and stuck on Bo". Queen Isabeau said sitting down.
"Told ya". Aife laughed. She tried to show Bo that dog would sleep with anyone, but she chose to believe him over her own mother.
"I assume you have been busy". Queen Isabeau laughed looking at all of the papers in front of Aife.
"Yes I have a new law I wanted to run by you". Aife said. She never assumed the Queen would immediately approve of anything that she wanted or wrote.
"What is it? Queen Isabeau smiled.
"Well the Elders are still being a pain in the ass, why don't we write a law banishing them from the colony". Aife laughed.
"Aife. That is going to take a lot of doing, but knowing most of them were in on my death, I say draft it as you want and bring it to me when you're done". Queen Isabeau said.
"Done". Aife said handing the Queen a large book.
"Ok. Well give me a few days to read it, and I will make my decision then. It's not that I don't trust you, I just want to read it word for word in case I want to add anything". Queen Isabeau laughed. Aife had always been that way. Ask like she was planning to do something and then already having it done when she told her mother about her request.
"I was once an Elder are you going to banish me too? Evony laughed from the door way.
"Now what does this bitch want? Aife said flashing her blue eyes.
"Lil ole human me? Nothing. I just thought you wanted to know your granddaughter just passed out, and Bruce has taken her to Lauren". Evony laughed.
"What?! Bo!? Aife said rushing out the door.
"If Dyson did this to her, I will kill him! Queen Isabeau snapped as they ran out the doors and jumped into the waiting Royal Hummers.
"Go! Aife screamed and Oscar sped away.
Twenty minutes later, the women arrived at Lauren's clinic.
"What? What's wrong with her?! Aife sobbed after they had been rushed to Bo's room.
"Aife! Come here! Queen Isabeau screamed.
"I can't leave her mom! Aife sobbed standing over Bo.
"You don't have to, now come here". Queen Isabeau said softly.
"I swear Aife and Queen Isabeau, I am running every test imaginable". Lauren said rushing around Bo's bed at rapid speed.
The ladies nodded and Queen Isabeau laughed at Lauren calling her Queen. But they were in public, so she understood.
Aife stood in front of her mother, as the Succubus dried her eyes.
"She's ok. You will see that when your eyes are dry". Queen Isabeau smiled.
"What? You know that? How? Lauren gasped
"Her aura. She's glowing". Queen Isabeau laughed.
"What? You mean? Lauren gasped again.
"Yes Dr. Lewis. You're about to be a mother". Aife chuckled.
"What?! How? How!? Lauren asked.
"You slept with her the night before you fought Hades right, and it was different right? Queen Isabeau asked.
"Yes". Lauren blushed.
"That's when your baby was conceived". Aife said giving her mother a high five.
"What? How? How? Lauren asked softly.
"You have mad skills now Doctor. Careful how you use them". Aife laughed and danced back and forth.
The Succubus laughed and bowed to Bo's stomach.
"We'll leave you alone to tell Bo". Queen Isabeau beamed as she kissed Bo on the forehead.
"Hot damn! That Doctor works fast! Aife clapped as they left.
Lauren was stunned. So stunned her nurse had to pull up a chair for her.
"Easy Dr. Lewis. You have a patient to treat". Maggie laughed. She hadn't worked there long but was well aware of Bo and Lauren's relationship.
"Mother. A mother. A mother". Lauren gasped.
"I'll go and get you some water". Maggie laughed handing the Doctor a tissue for her watering eyes.
Lauren sat there watching Bo sleep. The only time she moved was involuntarily when they stripped her clothes off and put her in a gown.
The Doctor sat there with her mouth wide open. A mother. Her. Bo. Mothers. What? The only times Lauren ever got near a mother was that Wombly in Hecuba prison and Tamsin having Dagny, which drew her back to them and baby names. But that was when Lauren imagined herself as a mother. She never thought Bo could conceive with all of the times Dyson or any man had slept wit her. Lauren didn't have man parts. She knew Aife and Queen Isabeau could tell her exactly how, but right now, she was too floored to move. The most she was doing at the time was blinking. Damn. That had only been a few days ago. If she was having fainting spells, the baby must be kicking her ass already.
Hours had passed and Lauren was still sitting there. Long after Maggie had returned with her water. Long after the Succubus left. Long after Bo had arrived with Bruce carrying her over his shoulder. She cringed when she thought of that position. Not the best position for a pregnant woman to be in. She would run tests on that later, but she needed to tell the mother first.
"Bo". Lauren whispered leaning over her.
She saw the Succubus stir, and move her head from side to side.
"Bo you need to wake up sweetie, we need to talk". Lauren smiled softly rubbing Bo's cheek.
"Lauren? Lauren". Bo mouthed.
Lauren gave her, her water. "Drink this". She said softly.
Bo drank the whole cup and her eyes were solely on Lauren until she finished the cup and pulled back. "Lauren about Dyson...". She started.
"I know Bo. We can talk about that later but right now we have something more important to talk about". Lauren said softly setting the cup down.
"More important than telling you I love you? More important than telling you nothing or nobody will ever come between us again? Bo asked gently sitting up. She was still loopy, but felt better seeing Lauren in front of her.
"Bo I know you love me and I love you too, but as your Doctor I'm telling you to take it easy". Lauren smiled gently.
"What? I'm fine. I think". Bo said as she tried to sit up and fell back.
"Your mother and Grandmother were just here. They thought it best to leave us alone to talk". Lauren said.
"Talk about what? Lauren? What's wrong? Bo sobbed in worry.
Lauren laughed and shook her head. Bo's hormones were already getting the best of her.
"What's funny? Bo asked.
"Nothing it's just your condition is making you emotional". Lauren laughed again. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen.
"Lauren I don't feel weird much, but you're scaring me. How did I get here and what condition? Bo asked.
"Bo you passed out at the castle, and Bruce brought you here. As far as your condition. It's my problem too". Lauren said gently sitting beside Bo on the bed.
"Did I make you sick? What did I do? Did I hurt you? Oh geez Lauren, I am so, so sorry". Bo sobbed taking the Doctor into her arms, but Lauren pulled back.
"Bo...". Lauren said softly
"What is it Lauren? Why can't I hold you? Bo asked.
"Bo I need to run more tests on you to be sure". Lauren said softly.
"What kind of tests? What do you think is wrong with me? Bo asked.
"I...we think you're pregnant Bo". Lauren said softly.
"Preg...what?! Bo asked falling back on the bed.
"Aife and Isabeau read your aura and think you're pregnant". Lauren said.
"Dr. Lewis sorry to interrupt". Maggie said softly.
"It's ok Maggie what did you find out? Lauren asked.
"After running and putting a rush on a Qualitative Blood Test, all I have to say is congratulations! Maggie smiled handing Lauren the results.
"Lauren I didn't understand any of that". Bo said softly as Lauren squeezed her hand.
"You're pregnant Bo. We're pregnant". Lauren smiled turning back to Bo.
"Are...are you sure? Bo sobbed again.
"Yes! Lauren smiled pulling Bo into her arms.
Maggie slowly walked out leaving the women more time to process the news. She was happy for them like she would be for any new expectant mother.
Lauren laughed again, and held Bo until she fell asleep in her arms. Her baby and her love needed their rest.
