Queen Isabeau and Aife.
"Well". Aife laughed as she watched the Queen take a seat first.
"Well". Queen Isabeau said removing her crown and setting it down in front of her.
"That was..fast". Aife laughed again.
"Yes it was and we are going to have to explain to them how they did that". Queen Isabeau giggled.
"Yeah but which one do we tell? Not the easiest thing to talk about". Aife shivered. They both knew exactly what Lauren did to Bo, but the thought of talking about Bo's sex life so intimately made the hair on the back of Aife's neck stand up.
"We can explain it in basic terms, or tell Lauren in a medical term, and then she can explain it to Bo". Queen Isabeau laughed again taking a sip of water.
"Ok. Agreed. Now about my law suggestion. We need to have it implemented immediately. The bastards won't like it but with another heir or heirs on the way, we will have our hands full fighting when we will need to be supporting Isabeau and Lauren". Aife said seriously.
The minute they saw Bo's aura, they knew there was a baby on the way. The minute Lauren came back to Bo they knew there would be a baby very soon, but with all that had happened recently they didn't calculate it happening so fast. But they were not disappointed. They couldn't think of a better person for Bo to share a child with. A Doctor. A Doctor that obviously knows Bo's body inside and out and loves the Succubus. A Doctor that knows all about the Fae and everything that could affect them.
"Let me read it once more to see if there is anything you have forgotten. I will probably make changes to it, and then you can read it". Queen Isabeau said clapping her hands for Bruce to bring the scroll to her.
"Mom you must remember when I was born. They didn't like it. The Blood King and Queen's heir. It was another reason I hid Bo among humans. Her father wasn't the only threat. They would have taken her and done who knows what to her. This has to be done right now. I won't have Bo taking another breath without her child and future children being treated like I was after Trick handed me over to the Dark. They won't hesitate to attack them. You and I both know how long and painful a Succubus birth is. I want Bo and Lauren to be able to enjoy it and not have to worry about someone trying to snatch Bo. You and I both know Trick's blood is not the only powers Bo has. My Grandfather's blood is just as powerful". Aife explained.
"I have never forgotten about my father's powers. Bo is special. We all know that. But you are right this needs to be put into law. Go and call Kenzi while I read this and make my revisions". Queen Isabeau said.
"Yes ma'am". Aife smiled warmly as she left her mother.
Kenzi and Dagny
Dagny had been up most of the night but Kenzi didn't mind. She had been playing video games at Lauren's clinic all day, so she was still wired and begging Kenzi to buy the same games.
Kenzi wrote down the names of every game she described and told her that she would think about it. But for now she needed to get some rest. She was ready for her next job assignment. Queen Isabeau was paying her well enough that she didn't need any side jobs. She had her own Royal escort and it rocked. Nothing but Hummers and red carpet treatment. Gone were the days of walking down filthy alleys. Gone were the days of calling people and waiting for them to get back to her. Gone were the days of having to pick somebody's pockets just so she could buy something to eat. The Queen's official castle was still being updated and she had offered Kenzi her own private room and personal chef.
She was living the life she had always dreamed of. Working a legitimate job and getting paid as soon as each job was done. Not like the old Fae cases when she had to wait weeks for to be paid. She and Bruce were getting close too but he couldn't always go with her, and sent his brothers instead. Kenzi nearly fainted at the sight of them when she met them. Huge and muscular like Bruce.
Kenzi was up and eating cereal when her phone rung. "Hello".
"Mother wants to see you soon". Aife said.
"Another job that quick? Kenzi asked nearly dropping the food in her mouth.
"Unless you want her to get someone else, you better get over here". Aife laughed.
"I will be there in twenty". Kenzi said hanging up her phone. Pouring the rest of her cereal down the disposal, she ran up to Dagny's room. This wasn't going to be a repeat of yesterday. That kid needed to get up and get up now.
Kenzi had gone back to Bo and Lauren's and waited all day for them to come home but they never did, she suspected they slept over at the Queen's. Kenzi sighed in relief when Dagny was already up and showered.
"Are we going to the lab again? Dagny asked excitedly.
"No the Queen has a job for me, so you know what that means". Kenzi said.
"It means I am big enough to stay here until Bo and Lauren get home". Dagny said.
Kenzi looked out and saw that they were being guarded heavily. "Ok you can stay here. Don't touch anything but the TV. Lauren is a severe neat freak and I don't want to go back and forth with her if you break some of her geeky equipment". Kenzi said.
"Cool. I can play games then! Dagny said running down the stairs.
"If you eat, eat in the kitchen, rinse off whatever you eat off of and stick it into the dishwasher". Kenzi said. She giggled at how big Bo and Lauren's kitchen is. Bo said it was because Lauren likes to experiment with recipes and all of her meals turned out delicious.
Once she was sure Dagny was settled in, she raced out of the house and into the waiting Hummer. Dagny had plenty of guards around the house and Kenzi had plenty of her own inside the vehicle. Taking some deep breaths, she settled into her seat.
Bo and Lauren
Lauren had been in and out of Bo's room. Either she was helping her staff or she was getting fresh water. Bo was cuddled up in the bed. Warm blankets had been delivered every hour on the hour at Lauren's request. She had been ready to take Bo home but the Doctor in her wanted all tests she ordered to be completed and all results delivered personally to her. The staff had been more than gracious with their time and help. They all beamed when they walked into the room.
Lauren sat in the plush chair next to Bo's bed. The Succubus was still sound asleep and her vitals were excellent. The Doctor could not resist running her fingers through Bo's hair and felt a sting of guilt when she started opening her eyes.
"Good morning". Lauren whispered softly.
"Good morning". Bo said stretching her arms and legs.
"Drink this". Lauren said giving Bo some fresh orange juice.
Bo moaned at the taste. As much as she loved coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice was the best.
"Sorry that I slept in so late". Bo said noticing it was just after ten.
"It's ok. If you are up for it, we can get you showered and dressed". Lauren said.
"I don't have a change of clothes here". Bo said shyly.
"Yes you do". Lauren smiled pointing at fresh clothes hanging up in the small closet.
"At least they are black". Bo laughed as she sat up with Lauren's help.
"Do you need any help Dr. Lewis? Maggie asked from the door.
"No. Thank you Maggie. I will help her shower and dress her". Lauren smiled softly.
"Ok. Please call if you need anything". Maggie said softly.
"Thank you". Lauren replied.
Bo was embarrassed. Embarrassed that she slept in a clinic. Embarrassed at all the fuss Lauren was making over her. The fuss the staff was making over her. She had not forgotten Lauren told her that she was pregnant. She didn't know how the hell they did that, but she was happy about it.
"Easy". Lauren said as Bo was finally naked and stepped into the shower.
Starting at Bo's feet Lauren lathered up her body. She gently scrubbed the bottom of her feet, legs, arms, and her back. But when it came to her breasts, vaginal area and stomach she was especially gentle. After the Succubus body was nothing but soap, Lauren shampooed her hair. Once she rinsed the conditioner out, she used the nozzle to rinse the rest of Bo off.
Bo's eyes were flashing blue in arousal. She turned around and smiled at Lauren. The doctor had stepped away to get two big fluffy white towels to dry Bo off with.
"This is how we got the baby". Lauren giggled as Bo licked her neck. She gently pushed the Succubus back as she put her jeans and boots on.
"Do we really need to be in a hurry like this? Bo asked looking down at the Doctor.
"Your eyes are flashing blue and brown. I have no idea what that means but thankfully we know two other Succubus that can offer some kind of answer". Lauren smiled as she stood up.
"I'm fine. Really". Bo said raising up and off of the bed.
"I am not so sure of that". Lauren said pulling her scrubs off. They were soaking wet from spraying Bo but her clothes underneath were mostly dry.
The women walked out of the room to thunderous applause.
"Shhhh this is a clinic". Lauren said waving her hands in the air.
"We just sent out the last patient. There is nobody here but the staff". Maggie smiled.
"Nice job but get back to work. I am sure you have paperwork to do". Lauren said softly.
"Yes Dr. Lewis! The staff screamed in unison and hurried off in opposite directions.
"That was kind of hot". Bo teased softly into Lauren's ear.
"And so are you. Literally". Lauren said as she noticed the warmth from Bo's hand. Grabbing her medical bag from the receptionist desk, she pulled Bo towards the exit.
Bo was impressed how thoughtful Lauren had been. She had picked up new clothes, and tennis shoes. Bo preferred boots but wasn't about to fight the Doctor about it. One of the Royal Hummers were waiting for them. Lauren watched as an Ogre picked Bo up and set her inside and did the same with Lauren. Once they were strapped into their seat belts, Bo placed her head on Lauren's shoulder. Within minutes she fell asleep.
"Bo I really need to talk to you". Lauren said as she watched the Succubus putting on her jacket and boots in a hurry.
"I can't right now Lauren. I have a lead on Hades and I need to see for myself if it's him". Bo said.
"But Bo this is important. I have something important to tell you". Lauren sighed as she slumped back into her seat.
"This is important too Lauren. Mark will stay with you, as Dyson and I go check this out. I will be back soon. I promise". Bo said rushing out the door. Bo didn't say bye. Bo didn't kiss Lauren before she left. Bo just left.
Bo had kicked back a few drinks with Dyson before she returned home. Once Bo was sure the place was empty, she went into her office. Hours later she heard Lauren walking in. It sounded like someone walking with a cane. Her steps were very slow. Bo thought she was just tired. They got into a heated argument. Bo took Lauren's phone and shut it off. Bo did that once a certain time had struck. Whatever else the world needed from them could wait until morning.
Shutting down the computer in her office, Bo walked to Lauren's small lab. She watched Lauren check her vitals, and she sighed quietly. They walked back out and the Succubus watched the Doctor climb the stairs. She was walking so slowly Bo thought she was trying to ignite her arousal. Lauren dropped her medical bag in the hallway and stood in the doorway to their bedroom.
While she changed clothes, Bo hurried into the kitchen and warmed up some soup. She set the stove on high so it wouldn't take long. She shook her head at the sights of Lauren, she had just seen. Bo didn't know why she was slaving away at the hospital like that. They have hundreds of Doctors on staff. She never told Bo but the Succubus never asked either. She just forced Evony to fire Lauren from the clinic. Lauren was working too, too much. Then she was hired on at a hospital.
Satisfied that the soup was ready. Bo crushed some crackers into it, set it on a tray with some orange juice and hurried up to Lauren. Bo don't know what is going on with her, but her aura is all shades of colors. This was the wrong time to ask her what was wrong since she didn't look at all well to Bo.
Bo set the tray on the nightstand and walked into their bathroom. Lauren looked like she was preparing to work again. Bo picked her up after another argument and carried her to bed. Lauren tried to lift the spoon but was shaking. Bo gave her two Aspirins and fed her soup to her. Once she was done, Bo handed her a toothbrush and some toothpaste. She watched Lauren spit into one of the small basins she kept in the bathroom.
Bo was angry at Lauren. She was working herself ragged for no reason. They weren't hurting for money or anything so why was she working like she was the last Doctor on earth? Evony had called her many times over the past few weeks and Bo snapped on the former Morrigan. She wanted a 24 hour Doctor and Lauren was nearly working that long too. Bo loves Lauren but damn she could frustrate the hell out of her sometimes.
Kenzi was punctual the next morning. Bo had asked her to text her when she pulled into their driveway. She kissed Lauren on her forehead and headed downstairs. Lauren still looked bad, but Bo figured she needed more rest than she needed Kenzi pouncing in their bed with drama.
Kenzi and Bo had kicked back and talked about any and everything for hours. Four hours had passed and Bo hadn't heard a peep out of Lauren. Kenzi joked about Bo being whipped after she said she was going to go up and check on her. Something sad stirred inside of the Succubus as she took each step. Slowly she walked. Slowly she breathed. Something wasn't right. She wasn't right.
As soon as Bo broke the threshold of their bedroom, and saw things that were on the nightstand on the floor, she knew Lauren wasn't right.
"Lauren? Lauren!? Bo screamed. She saw her faintly blink as she screamed for her over and over again.
"Lauren! I'm home. I'm right here. I'm home Lauren! I have nowhere else to go! Nowhere else to be! I'm right here babe. Just talk to me Lauren! We can fix this, whatever it is! Bo screamed holding her cold hands.
Kenzi had called for an ambulance and Bo raced with them to the vehicle. The whole time she and her Succubus took turns calling out to our Doctor, our love. The only thing on Lauren's face was their tears and an oxygen mask. Once they were inside the vehicle, Bo heard Lauren call out her name one last time. Pissed off, Bo pushed the driver out of his seat and accelerated as fast as it allowed her to. Cars weren't moving out of the way fast enough, not even with the sirens blaring.
Bo pulled up to the hospital and yanked Lauren's body from the gurney. Two hours later, both human and Fae Doctors pronounced her head. Bo stayed there until Evony came and left.
Bo picked Lauren up and didn't care that tears were falling. Bo was falling. Falling into the black hole that she lived in before she met Lauren. The only thing she would do was to ask Kenzi to run with Dagny. Hades would be back soon, and Bo would be in no shape to fight him.
She needed to fight for Lauren. To find a way to get her back. She jumped into her car that Kenzi had driven and raced home and put her in the bed. Once Kenzi and Dyson had both left. Bo screamed. She was sure she shook the ground and broke a few glasses. This wasn't like when Kenzi died, Bo could go and get her back, she wasn't getting Lauren back.
"Lauren! I am so sorry! I am sorry I left you knowing you wanted to talk again! I am sorry you took your last breath without me! I am sorry that all of the powers I have can't heal you! I am sorry that I can't go and get you back! That's the part of us that I hated the most, you would go somewhere that I can never go! Feel and see things that I never will! I am sorry for sleeping with people to heal, when we both know I am too powerful to need something as small and normal as sex to heal me! I am sorry I let you think my times with you was just sex. It was never sex! It was love, even the first time! I am so, so sorry Lauren! Bo screamed.
"Bo for the hundredth time. I love you and I forgive you. Now are you going to wake up and get out of the car? Lauren smiled warmly.
"Huh? What? Bo asked.
"Bo! Wake up! Lauren screamed gently.
"Lauren! Lauren! Bo smiled jumping out and kissing the Doctor all over her face.
"Are you ok Your Highness? Bruce asked.
"She's ok. She just had a bad dream, I think. No more jumping like that either Bo". Lauren smiled.
"Ohhhh Lauren! It was horrible! It was...not fit for their ears". Bo said looking at the Royal Guard flanking them.
Lauren smiled and pulled Bo on to the red carpet as they gently walked towards the stairs.
"I got her Dr. Lewis". Bruce said carrying Bo up the stairs. Lauren laughed as he skipped every other step. His large feet nearly caused him to trip a few times. She sighed in relief when they reached the top step and Bo had been placed on a Segway.
"Ohhh what the hell is this? Bo groaned.
"It is the Queens orders. You can ride on this, or the small golf cart Cedric is driving". Bruce said.
"This is fine. But only when we are here. Understand? Bo said.
"Sorry. It's a law Your Highness". Bruce said.
"What? Since when? Bo asked.
"Since this morning". Bruce said.
"Well damn". Bo said.
"What about me? Lauren asked.
"You are to ride one too". Bruce said.
"I will take the Segway if you want to put Bo on the cart". Lauren said.
"Yes ma'am". Bruce bowed.
"Is anyone going to ask me what I want? Bo asked.
"We have all kinds of snacks for you. Pickles and ice cream. Tuna and a peanut butter sandwich". Bruce said.
"Yuck! But yes to ice cream, by itself! Bo smiled.
"Yes ma'am" Bruce nodded towards one of the Royal Maids.
Bo and Lauren looked at each other as they rode down the hall to the the sitting room.
"What is my granddaughter doing walking? Queen Isabeau snapped.
"Do I really need to be carried grandmother? Bo asked.
"Look at her eyes". Aife laughed.
"Oh dear. That is a problem". Queen Isabeau laughed.
"Yeah about that. What the hell is going on? Lauren asked.
"Her baby is hungry and right now". Aife laughed.
"You mean...". Lauren started.
"Yep. Bo needs to feed". Aife laughed again.
"What? I can't do that...here". Bo blushed.
"Oh for goodness sakes, you can kiss Lauren to feed..in the other room". Queen Isabeau laughed.
"On it". Lauren said pulling Bo into the next room.
Aife and Queen Isabeau had a few good laughs as they waited for the women to return.
"All done". Lauren said licking her lips.
"Isn't that strange for me to feed my baby using Lauren's Chi? Bo asked.
"No different than you breastfeeding". Aife laughed.
"Mom". Bo said.
"What you asked! You want to go out and feed one someone else? No sweetie. It has to be Lauren or your baby will be sick". Aife explained.
"How did you feed me then? Bo asked.
Aife cleared her throat. She hated the question but Bo needed to know. "Hades did his part and when he was done, he allowed me to feed you".
"Oh I see". Bo said softly.
"So! How are you feeling?! Queen Isabeau asked as she gently rubbed Bo's stomach.
"That tickles and I'm fine". Bo laughed.
"She is. Everything checks out, but the flashing eyes worried me" Lauren said.
"We are here, or a phone call away, anytime either of you have a question. About anything". Queen Isabeau said pointing at Aife and then back at herself.
"We sure in the hell are". Aife laughed.
"And I am glad you are both here. I do have an announcement". Queen Isabeau said.
"What's that? Bo asked.
"As of now all Elders both Light and Dark have been banished from the colony. They could be a threat to your baby or babies". Queen Isabeau said.
Lauren looked at the women and then back at Bo.
"They left alive Dr. Lewis. If they come back, it will be my personal pleasure to kill them". Aife laughed. She was silently hopeful one would come back. It had already been too long since she kicked somebody's ass.
"Is this about us? Lauren asked.
"Yes. It is all about you and your child and future children. Aife and I are well past child bearing age. So yes this is about your children". Queen Isabeau said.
"Ahhhh Kenzi did you get enough to eat? Queen Isabeau asked.
"Yes your Queen Succugrandmama I did". Kenzi said dancing in place.
"Good and are you ready for your next assignment? Queen Isabeau asked.
"Yes ma'am". Kenzi said.
"We...they better tell her first". Aife said.
Queen Isabeau thought for a few minutes. Bo and Lauren are her highest priority and Kenzi's assignment was part of that.
"Bo? Queen Isabeau said.
"Kenz have a seat". Bo said pointing toward the chair Aife was pulling out for her.
"Ohhh sh..ucks. What is it now? Who's dead? Kenzi asked.
"No. Someone is very much alive. Inside of Bo". Lauren said.
"What?! Kenzi asked standing up.
"I'm pregnant Kenzi". Bo said squeezing Lauren's hand.
"What?! How?! Do I even want to know?! Kenzi asked.
"The what is yes she's pregnant, the how we don't know yet". Lauren said.
"Lauren's mouth was the how". Aife said clearing her throat.
"Enough. Enough. I get it now! Kenzi smiled.
Bo blushed. She was wondering if that's how it happened and now they all had confirmation.
"My job. My job". Kenzi said.
"Right. Bruce and a few of my guards will escort you around to make sure the Elders have left. Since I understand you were there when they were under Hades influence, you should be able to spot them if you see them". Queen Isabeau explained.
"Mark can go with us. He was there too". Bruce said.
"Excellent. Take him too then". Queen Isabeau said.
"Yes My Queen". Bruce bowed as Kenzi followed him out.
"What about Dyson? Lauren asked.
"He will stay where he is for now. He is being fed and checked on every hour". Queen Isabeau snapped. Dyson still pissed her off. Why didn't her understand that hatred of Lauren and any attempts on her were punishable?
"The baby news is going to piss him off. Can I tell him? Aife laughed.
"No we will tell him and right now". Bo said.
"Fine take all of my fun away". Aife laughed.
"You can come with us". Lauren said.
"I was going to anway. His reaction will be too funny to hear about, I want to see it too". Aife laughed clapping her hands.
Bo and Lauren walked holding hands. A few guards walked in front of them. They were only there in case Dyson snapped and broke the door down. Bo didn't think he was stupid enough to try that. Aife knew he was dumb enough to do that. Part of her hoped that he would.
This would be a good test of his aura to see if he was really over Bo. If he could finally accept her relationship with Lauren. Really accept it and not just give Lauren a pep talk on the condition she would die someday, and he would get his chance with Bo again.
Aife and Queen Isabeau knew better. They knew the minute Lauren died his chance would never come. They knew it the minute Lauren came back. Bo's aura around Lauren was like nothing they had ever seen before. Even with Trick and Isabeau.
The small group arrived and Dyson was nowhere to be seen.
"On your feet for the Princesses". Cedric said.
Dyson groaned. He could smell Aife but not Bo. He stood up ready to face the older Succubus.
"What do you want Aife?! Dyson snapped.
"Dumb pup is that anyway to talk to your master? Aife laughed.
"You're not my master! Dyson growled.
"Oh honey I am your master. I will be an even worse master than you were to Lauren". Aife laughed. Dyson did treat all humans like shit on his shoes. This coming from a dog that ate breakfast, lunch and dinner shit, until Trick found him.
"Enough mom. It stinks down here". Bo said.
"Bo? Are you ok? Lauren asked as the Succubus started to bend over.
"I will tell him". Aife said.
"No it must be me! Bo snapped as she stood up right again.
"Bo? Why didn't I smell you come down? Dyson asked.
"Shut up and you will find out". Aife laughed.
"I need to take my patient out of here soon". Lauren said softly rubbing Bo's back.
"What? What's wrong with Bo? What did you do to her? Dyson snapped angrily in Lauren's direction.
Bo pulled Lauren behind her. "I'm pregnant Dyson".
"What?! How?! Who's the deadbeat bastard!? Let me out of here Bo, and I swear to you I will find him! Dyson growled banging his hand on the door.
"I am carrying Lauren's baby". Bo smiled and squeezed Lauren's hand.
Aife stepped up to stand side bye side with Bo. Dyson stood back and they watched him shift.
"He's shifting! Aife laughed.
Dyson growled and lunged at the small door window. His head was able to break through and he was inches away from Bo.
Aife jumped when she heard the sounds of bone breaking.
"They are mine! Lauren snapped after she punched Dyson a second time. The shifter fell to the floor in pain. His neck was half twisted and he was struggling to breathe.
"Lets go Lauren". Bo said shaking her head. Dyson still wasn't understanding that she was in love with Lauren, and to insinuate that Bo had cheated on her by getting pregnant by whom he thought was a man, was something she would be addressing with the Doctor privately. But for now, she just wanted to get out of that funky dungeon area.
"Put this broke dick dog in the dungeon at the end of the hall and fix the door on this one". Aife ordered.
"Yes Your Highness". Cedric said as he pointed for some men to come and carry Dyson down the hall.
Aife watched Bo and Lauren until they disappeared. Then she watched as Dyson was carried down to the other dungeon and thrown inside.
"I said put him there, but that works too". Aife laughed.
"What do you want to do about him? Cedric asked.
"That is up to the Queen. But keep him awake, I might be back". Aife laughed as she walked off.
"Yes Your Highness". Cedric bowed and called for buckets of water to be brought down.
TBC
Dyson is brought before the Queen and Fae.
The last of the Elders leaves the colony.
Queen Isabeau has a gift for Bo and Lauren
Lauren pampers Bo as they talk.
A/N Kenzi called her the Queen because the Fae were in close proximity.
