I don't think we've ever actually used a pool table to shoot pool. There's no strings attached here if that's what you're worried about. Shit. The necklace. Fuck...I have a headache. Paint fumes. Nothing I haven't helped cure before.
Bo jumped up in the bed. She woke up in a dead cold sweat. "Not now girls please".
"Bo? Are you ok? Lauren asked gently rolling over.
"It's nothing that can't wait until morning. Please. Go back to sleep". Bo said softly in embarrassment.
"Ok". Lauren said pulling Bo into her and closed her eyes when her nose met her scent.
Bo had thought of that day for many days. Never once had they spoken about it. Maybe there was a reason her Succubus shut down. She must have felt the necklace and longed for Lauren's touch and love again too. And they both felt it when it dangled against Bo's neck.
Later that day she saw Laruen. She shivered the moment Lauren kissed her neck. So why didn't Bo reciprocate the kisses? How much more proof did she need to understand the Succubus was never going to hurt the Doctor. She didn't even ask permission to take over with the Lich, she just did it. She stared into the dark until Lauren's body heat put her to sleep.
Queen Isabeau and Aife.
The women said rifling through their lastest reports. Aife wanted in on the morning reports and her mother agreed, provided she never interfered in her decisions regarding them.
"I understand you went to see Kenzi". Queen Isabeau said.
"Don't worry mother it was a friendly visit". Aife laughed.
"Aife". Queen Isabeau said.
"Fine. Fine. I warned her about Lauren again, and I stayed within your laws, barely". Aife laughed again.
"Can you be serious for a moment? Queen Isabeau groaned.
"Ok. Ok". Aife said seriously.
"Aife you know Bo still cares for her. So what exactly did you do or not do? Queen Isabeau asked.
"I told her that she was no longer claimed. Since Bo unclaimed and then claimed her again in Valhalla. You and I both know what works in Valhalla does not work here". Aife explained.
"Do you want to claim her? Queen Isabeau asked.
"Hell no. That's like baby-sitting. I am reserving my baby-sitting duties for the twins". Aife laughed.
"Then you must tell Bo this. You opened that door, you should be the one to close it". Queen Isabeau said seriously.
Queen Isabeau thought back to when Bo came to get Kenzi. She was so close to seeing her granddaughter but it was forbidden to see her since Bo's mission never took her to the Queen's domain in Valhalla. Stacey told her about seeing her and she was jealous with envy.
"Ok. I will tell her. She might be pissed off but then again she might not. I can only clean up so many of her messes". Aife laughed.
"Aife please. This is me you are talking to. You will always do whatever you can, even the unthinkable to protect Bo". Queen Isabeau laughed.
"She gets so hotheaded at times. I just have to help". Aife laughed.
"A hotheaded Succubus? Now where have I seen one of those before? Queen Isabeau laughed again.
Aife feigned offense and continued looking at the papers. "Well nothing looks like it is an emergency".
"Except you talking to Isabeau". Queen Isabeau said.
"They might not even be out of bed yet. I will give it a few hours". Aife said noting the time.
"Kenzi won't wait that long". Queen Isabeau said.
"Well shit". Aife laughed.
"Do not antagonize Bo. It is not good for them and you know it. For all we know they are kicking the shit out of her". Queen Isabeau said.
"Has a Succubus ever had twins before? Aife asked curiously.
"Not that I have ever heard of, and I have known lots of them". Queen Isabeau replied.
Aife sighed. She thought of all the Succubus she knew and none of them told stories of twin babies being born to anyone that they knew. Those little ladies were going to be very powerful too. She smiled at the thought and stacked the reports neatly back into their folders. "I'm off to see Bo and Lauren".
"Try and behave this time". Queen Isabeau nodded while she was writing down some notes.
"Yes My Queen". Aife bowed adoringly.
Dyson
Dyson had lost some of his muscle mass, but he was still determined to get up and out of there. He managed to use his arms to crawl a little, dragging his legs behind him.
He cursed Aife. She had no right to do this to him. Wasn't the stench of the dungeons punishment enough? He was used to throwing people into them, not being a detainee himself. It was embarrassing and below his status in the Fae world.
Things were better off when the Queen and Aife were gone. Now everything was neat and clean, well except for his dungeon. Bo was doing well enough on her own with his guidance and advice running the Fae.
A part of him felt bad when Lauren died, but that didn't mean he had time to mourn her. He finally understood what Rainer was trying to do with Bo. If he could marry her or get her to mate with him, he could be almost as powerful in the Fae world as Bo was. People feared her after she drained the colony. THey would have feared him too. Most of them fled, in fear that Bo would do it again. He always wanted a Queen but now all of that was a pipe dream if this pregnancy that he was still doubting was true. Bo would have heirs but not theirs. His and hers.
There was nothing. Literally nothing to grab on to. They had removed the chairs reserved for visitors. It was probably for the best, he didn't need anyone seeing him like this. He was pretty sure Aife had snapped pictures.
"Cedric! I need help! Dyson growled.
Cedric was long gone to attend to the other dungeons. Dyson's words were just echoing around his own room. He'd already provided fresh water for Dyson. He wasn't going to tell the wolf were he got it from. That was a rule left by Aife. If he drank it, that would be reward enough for the Succubus.
"Cedric! Dyson growled again. His arms were tiring due to his weight loss.
"Shut up wolf. You are not getting anything more than I have provided to you. The rest won't come for hours now". Cedric said through the window. The Fae walked away to attend to the rest of his duties. The other prisoners were being treated far better than Dyson. Some were set to be released shortly and that really would leave Dyson to himself. The dungeons were to be cleaned after every prisoner left. But Dyson's wouldn't be cleaned at all. Nobody felt sorry for him either. He had pissed a lot of people off over the years thinking he was the mightier Fae.
Dyson dropped to the floor and groaned. He just needed to be smart. Rest a bit and wait until he could make his next move.
Bo and Lauren
Bo wanted to cuddle with Lauren but that wasn't possible with her growing stomach. She kept a small tape measure inside of the nightstand so that she could measure it. It was always an inch or two wider after every measurement. She was starting to get hungry and thought about sneaking down to the kitchen to make a bowl of sugary cereal, but she couldn't exactly be discreet in her current condition.
What a beautiful condition it was too. Even with Lauren being a stickler of her own diet with all veggie omelets and bagels. Bo wanted steaks. Some kind of meat!
"I have sent all of the cereals Kenzi bought to her house". Lauren said quietly.
"How did you know what I was thinking? Bo laughed.
"Because you're hungry. Just feed from me a little and I will go and make breakfast". Lauren said.
"Don't you have to go to work? Bo asked hopefully. She still had her surprise to plan.
"Nice try but I can do that after you have fed and eaten breakfast". Lauren laughed. Bo was too cute when she was trying to get something Lauren wasn't allowing her to have. Actually she was planning something but wasn't about to tell Bo about it.
Bo stood and walked over to Lauren. Gently pulling her closer, she leaned in to kiss her. Lauren's kisses made her shiver every time. She always wanted more, she would ask for more too, but she wasn't feeling very sexy at the moment.
"You are so beautiful Bo". Lauren cooed looking the Succubus up and down. Even in soft pajamas, Bo was still hot.
"I still want steaks, burgers, pizza, hot dogs, and everything else I have been missing". Bo said with her eyes flashing blue.
Lauren kissed Bo and thought she wasn't going to get her tongue back. Hearing the Succubus growl, she knew it was time. She pulled back and allowed Bo to feed from her. Their feeds were always a little longer but the Doctor in her deduced that it was the twins needing to be fed just as much as Bo.
"Holy shit. That was...that was. I need to sit down". Bo panted once the chi flow stopped.
"Get back in bed and I will bring your breakfast to you". Lauren said walking Bo over and tucking her in.
"Damn it Lauren, we need to talk". Bo said.
"We will when I come back". Lauren said pulling the covers just below Bo's stomach.
Bo groaned once she realized Lauren was out of earshot. Her hormones were all over the place. One minute she wanted to lick every inch of Lauren's body. The next, she wanted to grill a burger. The next after that, she wanted to talk to her about her dream. Well her nightmare, which it very well could turn out to be. Now was not the time to ignore her dreams. She did that when they first got together only to find out later that she was close to becoming an underfae and not that she ever talked about someone's looks, but that thing was ugly.
But this was a different kind of monster. This was that ever present monster of guilt. She was going to shower after their talk because she never felt as dirty and unworthy as she was feeling at the moment. She was going to talk to her mother and grandmother too once Lauren went to work. There had to be things she could do even while pregnant that would make her feel somewhat useful in Lauren's life again.
Thirty minutes later, Lauren was back with a tray full of food.
"You said breakfast not brunch". Bo laughed.
"Hey I have to eat too". Lauren smiled.
"It looks delicious babe". Bo cooed as Lauren gently set the tray on the nightstand. The doctor climbed into bed and pulled the tray over her legs.
There they were. Bo was being pampered again. "Lauren I can feed myself, you know". She said between bites.
"Ok. This plate isn't too hot. Take this one". Lauren said passing the huge omelet over to Bo.
They made small talk while they ate, knowing the big talk deserved to be when they weren't otherwise occupied. Bo watched Lauren devour her food. Lauren was being a neat freak while Bo had dropped a few toast crumbs on the plush blanket.
"Are you ok? Bo asked gently when Lauren had put her fork down.
"Yes I'm fine. Just trying to slow down a bit". Lauren laughed.
"You don't have to rush Lauren. I was only joking about you going to work". Bo smiled softly.
"I know. I know". Lauren said wiping her mouth with a napkin.
"I on the other hand am stuffed. That was delicious. Thank you Doctor". Bo said shyly. She had eaten off of Lauren's plates too.
"Bo you don't need to thank me". Lauren laughed.
"Yes I do, and I have so much to apologize for". Bo said pushing a blonde lock behind Lauren's ear.
"Bo what is it? You've been moody all morning. All night actually". Lauren said gently.
"I kept you up? I'm sorry about that too". Bo said taking the tray away from Lauren and setting it on the opposite nightstand.
"Bo I know you. I can tell when you're sleeping. Your body language is so much different. So whatever it is just say it". Lauren said taking one of Bo's hands.
"I'm sorry about Dyson. I'm sorry about Rainer. I'm sorry about Tamsin. I'm sorry about healing with Dyson in your lab when I could have gone elsewhere. You and I both know my wounds weren't that deep. I'm sorry about allowing Tamsin to kiss me in front of you, twice. I just want to be worthy of all of this and I have done nothing to be. Don't tell me that I'm worthy because I am carrying your babies. That is not the same. I am talking about being currently worthy, not because of anything I've done in the past". Bo rambled off.
"Bo I am not going to sit here and say that any of that didn't hurt. Nor am I going to sit here and reminisce of anything that no longer matters. I know you weren't there when I died. I wouldn't have wanted you to be like I told you before. But I did die. I died. It was a long and lonely walk through something I've never seen before. But there was also an overwhelming feeling of love and peace. When I was finally able to relax, I had a lot of time to think and reflect. I am in no way saying all is forgotten, but I'm saying I didn't come back for this. To be in some paranoid illusions that you have about us. There is nothing wrong or anything that you need to be doing but doing what you are doing right now. Sitting here with me. Living with me. Carrying our children. That's why I talked to Dyson yesterday about us. I gave him a good, and stiff warning. The old Lauren that people wanted to walk over is gone. It's not just you he tried to attack, it was them too. I don't think I could go and get them back like you did with Kenzi, and Isabeau and Aife did with me. And I know you already love them like you love me. I know it's in your nature to want to fight and do something, so I won't stop you, as long as you are careful until after the babies have been born. I'm just saying we are not as bleak as you think". Lauren explained.
"Wow. I wasn't expecting that". Bo said softly looking around the room.
"I hope that didn't sound harsh. But there is nothing wrong between us Bo". Lauren said softly touching Bo's cheek.
"I love you Lauren. I really do". Bo whispered as she leaned into Lauren's hand.
"I know. I love you just as much". Lauren smiled softly pulling Bo into her arms.
Bo sighed into Lauren's scent. She closed her eyes briefly and took a few deep breaths before she pulled back. "That's not quite as comfy as it used to be". She said gently patting her stomach and jumped when one of the babies kicked in response.
"Well don't do that". Lauren laughed realizing what was going on.
"Yeah. One of them didn't like that at all". Bo laughed. She was starting to feel better. Lauren was right. She could do whatever she wanted to do after the babies were born, or even before if she was careful. How could she feel unworthy at all with Lauren's babies inside of her? Now she just needed to get Lauren doing something else besides tending to her, so she could plan her proposal.
"I am going to take a bath after you have showered". Bo said.
"Bo we have more than enough bathrooms, you can take a bath as I shower. Besides I want to make sure you can get in and out ok on your own". Lauren said taking Bo's hand and pulling her out of the bed.
The women walked down the short hall to the next bathroom. Once Bo was in the tub, Lauren left her to shower. She didn't help her in but did help herself to the view of Bo naked. Absolute perfection.
"Is anybody home?! Aife screamed from downstairs.
"I'll be down in a minute! Bo is taking a bath". Lauren screamed as she dried off from her shower. Once she was happy with her look, she rushed down the stairs.
"Oh please you didn't need to rush on my account". Aife laughed drinking a beer.
"What can I do for you? Lauren asked.
"You said Isabeau is taking a bath. I can wait if you want to go and help her". Aife said.
"I'm actually waiting to see if she can bathe herself without help". Lauren confessed.
"Oh. Yeah that's a good idea". Aife nodded.
"I am as not as delicate as all of that". Bo said from the bottom step.
"Aww look at you". Aife laughed. Bo was in sweats and a tank top.
"What's up mom? Bo said walking over to join them.
"I went to see Kenzi yesterday and told her a sobering truth. Well at least it appeared important to her". Aife laughed.
"What's that? Bo asked.
"She was under the assumption that she was still claimed. The girl does seem to be mouthy. If she steps outside of the colony, she would be a sitting duck since she is no longer claimed by you". Aife explained.
"What? I claimed her again in Valhalla. Right in front of Freyja". Bo said.
"That claim only works there. I know mother has a soft spot for humans but if she tests the wrong Fae, it could get ugly". Aife said.
"You said it sounded important to Kenzi? Lauren asked.
"Yeah. She seemed to wet herself when I told her the truth. Like she needed Bo's claim to feel relevant among us". Aife said.
"I will talk to her. That's nothing to worry about". Bo said turning to Lauren.
"She needs to back off of Lauren though, Isabeau". Aife said seriously.
"I can handle this mom". Bo said softly.
"Ok but I will only give her one more chance. Mom or no mom". Aife replied.
"I also went to see Dyson. I assume his current conditions are your doing? Lauren asked softly.
"He crossed a line. He had been warned. I know Kenzi's human but this will be my last warning". Aife said.
"Mom do you mind if Lauren and I talk privately? Bo asked gently.
"Of course. I can wait in the other room". Aife said walking away. She wasn't about to upset Bo, and probably needed to calm her own Succubus down.
When Aife had walked down the long hall and closed the door, Bo turned back to Lauren.
"Lauren why did you go see Dyson? Bo asked softly.
"I warned him about my family. I'd do it again too". Lauren said with a bit of a bite.
"You are not still worried about him coming between us are you? Bo asked never taking her eyes off of Lauren.
"No Bo. This wasn't about that. This was about protecting you and them". Lauren said gently putting her hand on Bo's stomach.
"What did you do Lauren? Bo asked.
"I showed him my latest experiment. If I ever inject him with it, he would be all of our thralls. Yours, mine and theirs". Lauren said nodding towards Bo's stomach.
"The babies too? Bo asked with her eyes wider than even she thought they could go.
"Yes all four of us". Lauren said simply.
"Wow Lauren. Just wow". Bo said.
"The day you drained the colony Dyson and I spoke of you and me. He encouraged me to give us another try. I know it sounds awful, but we were in no way tossing you around like a toy between the two of us. Well at least I wasn't but from what I have seen and heard, it sounds like Dyson isn't over you, will never be over you. That is his problem, not mine. I went to warn him about trying to attack you or me again. I can only imagine what he will be like when the babies are born". Lauren explained.
"I told him once that I was still in love with you Lauren. I never told him that I wasn't. I never told you that I wasn't. But he will not harm us. Whether he likes it or not, he will not come between us". Bo said slowly stepping towards the Doctor.
"Ok". Lauren said softly kissing Bo on the mouth and then her stomach.
"You're going to work aren't you? Bo asked looking down as Lauren gently rubbed her stomach.
"Yes. I won't work a long shift, but I do want to get some hours in". Lauren smiled gently.
"Ok. I will call Kenzi so she can come over so we can talk but I'm sure mom can wait with me until she comes". Bo smiled as she nuzzled Lauren's neck.
"Bo...". Lauren said.
"I will be fine and careful Lauren. I promise". Bo said hugging her as closely as her stomach would allow her to do.
"You better be". Lauren laughed grabbing her bag and walking downstairs.
"Aife I'm leaving. Bo wants to talk to you! Lauren screamed.
"Oooo goodie". Aife clapped with glee as she joined the younger Succubus.
"Mom that wasn't very nice". Bo said after Lauren had walked outside.
"She knows I meant no offense". Aife laughed.
"There's something I wanted to run past you". Bo said sitting down.
"Easy when you sit sweetie". Aife laughed helping her.
"Thanks". Bo said shyly. She hated being fussed over but understood she needed to be cautious.
"You're welcome. Now tell mama what's in that gorgeous head of yours". Aife said sitting beside Bo.
"I want to propose to Lauren. But don't have any ideas how to make it romantic. I wish I could ask her in the same place we met, but I never want her to think of that place or time again". Bo explained.
"Ooooooo! Aife smiled.
"Mom. That's not helping". Bo laughed.
"Well is there anywhere the two of you went that won't hold bad memories? Aife asked.
Bo bowed her head. She couldn't think of a single place. Not even her old bedroom at the clubhouse. The first time she was angry with Lauren. The Light Fae compound. The Dark Fae compound. She didn't want to ask her at the Dal either. When a lightbulb went off in her head, she smiled as widely as she could.
"I need something done and like right now". Bo said.
"Name it sweetie and it will be done". Aife cooed rubbing Bo's stomach.
"Mom please don't get them started". Bo laughed.
"Ok. Seriously what do you need? Aife laughed.
"A lot of big men who are willing to work their asses of right now". Bo smiled.
Aife pulled out her phone and started dialing. Bo gave her the rest of the details as they enjoyed a nice lunch. Once word had gotten back that everything was being done to her specifications Bo laid down to rest as she waited for Kenzi to come over. Once she arrived Aife left for home.
"Kenz come and sit down". Bo said as she pulled the blanket that Aife must have wrapped her in, off of her.
"I see your mother was here". Kenzi said slightly rolling her eyes.
"See that right there. You need to stop this Kenzi. They are my family, just as you are". Bo said.
"I'm still struggling to understand all of this Bo. How do we know for sure that's really Aife, Lauren or your grandmother? Kenzi asked.
"I told you last night I know Lauren's taste. That is her. You like the crime shows right? Think of Lauren's chi as a fingerprint. You can't dispute DNA evidence". Bo explained.
"And Aife and the Queen? Kenzi asked.
"Kenzi I know what you are really asking. After all they have done for me, I will not subject them to DNA tests". Bo said almost angrily.
"I just don't buy it Bo. One minute Lauren was dead in your arms and the next she was back with your mother and grandmother". Kenzi said drinking a glass of water. Not really what she wanted, but it wouldn't be very nice to drink in front of Bo.
"I know they are them. They wouldn't have done all of this for anyone else. I trust it. My Succubus trusts it and she has responded to Lauren too. She would have drained her, if she even thought Lauren wasn't who she was. Hades is dead. Lauren is my Lauren and our life is fine". Bo explained.
"I can't say that eases my concerns but I trust you". Kenzi said.
"It will be fine Kenzi. Lauren even went to confront Dyson. If she wasn't herself, she would have killed him. Now about your claimed status. Do you really want that? Grandmother has laws in place so it's not really needed. I think mom was just trying to rile you up". Bo said.
"She hates me Bo. Really hates me". Kenzi said.
"Well you didn't exactly roll out the welcome mat for her, and mom hates just about everyone". Bo said sipping on her milk. She nearly gagged. Lauren and her strict diet, she laughed internally.
"Fine I am going to pick up Dagny and take her to the movies". Kenzi said standing up.
"You don't have to love everyone that I do Kenzi, but you need to respect them and their place in my life, as mom respected yours. Even with grandmother's law, she would kick your ass. Like she did to Dyson". Bo said.
"That doesn't bother you? Kenzi asked.
"He didn't get it Kenzi. He doesn't like Lauren with me but that's none of his business. I love Lauren end of story". Bo said.
"Ok I will see you tomorrow". Kenzi said.
"Count on it". Bo said waving Kenzi off. She didn't have to get up, the doors locked on their own. She curled up on the couch for a nap.
She slept for six hours before she heard the door open.
"Isabeau everything is ready! Aife smiled entering the living room.
"I need to shower". Bo said. Her mouth felt disgusting. She should have drank some water after her milk.
"Well hurry up. I drove by Lauren's clinic and only two cars were in the parking lot. She will be home very soon". Aife laughed helping Bo to her feet.
While Bo showered Aife picked out the dress that Bo had asked her to pull out. A long, black strapless dress, with hanging earrings to match. An hour later the Succubus dressed and looked drop dead gorgeous according to Aife.
Bo had picked out a dress for Lauren and they both made small talk until the Doctor came home.
"What a day! Lauren laughed as she entered the living room. She stopped and licked her lips, the minute she saw Bo.
"Hello Lauren". Bo smiled.
"Are we going...out? Lauren gasped. Bo looked beyond stunning. Her hair framed her face and she was practically glowing.
"We are. Now hurry up and shower". Aife laughed.
"She's right. We are". Bo laughed pointing back and forth between them.
Lauren was giddy with anticipation and ran upstairs. She saw her dress hanging up and knew Bo must have picked it out to wear. She rushed and dressed. Once she was confident with her look, she headed back downstairs.
"Mom if I never thanked you before, I am thanking you now". Bo said licking her lips at the sight of Lauren. She literally looked like an angel dressed in a white dress that matched Bo's. She had put her hair up, and it reminded Bo of that night she walked down the stairs in the sex club.
"Your chariot awaits". Aife smiled pointing outside.
Bo gently took Lauren's hand and led her out to the horse drawn carriage. Bruce was dressed in a top hat and tuxedo as he helped them climb in.
"Bo". Lauren said.
"Trust me babe". Bo said as Bruce slowly pulled away.
The women snuggled up and enjoyed the nice ride under the stars. When they came upon a train, Bruce hopped out and helped them out.
"Bo? Lauren said softly.
"It's ok". Bo cooed kissing Lauren's hand. Bruce helped Bo on to the train first and then Lauren. The train was beautiful and the tracks were lit up.
"All aboard". Bruce screamed and bowed as the train pulled away.
The women sipped on club soda as they made small talk. If the babies weren't kicking her, the butterflies in her stomach was. They rode for an hour as they ate a nice, romantic dinner before the train stopped.
Bo swallowed hard as she stood up and pulled Lauren to the window. Lauren smiled noticing where they were.
Bo cleared her throat and started. "A long time ago, I made the mistake of thinking a man that I met on a train was my destiny. I had gone what felt like a lifetime believing I was a monster in search of her prince charming. I had no serious thought that I was royalty. But I was a killer on the run for years. I wasn't in search of any destiny, I was just trying to survive.
Then I met you. The most beautiful woman that I had ever seen. The minute you ran your hand down my back, it woke up who I thought was the monster in me. I think we both fell for you then. You weren't afraid of us, you just cared. You cared a lot. Even with all of the shit the Fae had put you through. You cared. No matter how many lovers, I slept with, none of them ever touched me like you did. Physically and spiritually.
When you asked for the break. I never understood what you meant about being lost or needing to find yourself, until you died. I was lost. Lost without you. Your touch. Your care. That's probably why I refused to let them take you from me. I held on to your body with all of my strength. Even when I bathed and dressed you, I know you were still mine. No matter what the Fae or anyone thinks. You are mine. You were meant to be mine, the minute you and I were born. I felt your love for all of these years, even when we were apart. I feel your love so much now with our babies inside of me. I feel it and see it in your eyes and your aura right now. I want to feel that for the rest of our existence". Bo said getting down on one knee.
"I picked the train because these train tracks were the last place we committed to each other before you died. Now that you have made me feel more alive than ever, I want to show you just how much you mean to me. How much our family means to me. Lauren I love you with every ounce of my body and being. Will you do me the honor of marrying me? Bo asked as tears streamed down her face. It probably ruined her makeup but she didn't care.
Lauren had stood stiff the moment Bo started talking. The ring was massive in size, and she had never seen a ring that huge or beautiful before. She wondered why the train had stopped and realized exactly where they were. Her mouth was dry but she still managed to speak. "Yes Bo. I will marry you. I love you so much". The Doctor said as tears flowed down her face.
Bo smiled and tried to stand up quickly forgetting she was pregnant. Lauren laughed helping her up. She leaned in to kiss Bo and smiled as the train whistled and started moving again. She didn't exactly know if it was the train or Bo's kiss because her world was spinning. Spinning with happiness that she thought she would never see again that night when her body was shutting down.
Taking their seats again, they rode again and for once, the workaholic Doctor wasn't ready to go home to work on any experiments or lab tests. Bo pulled her in close and Lauren rested her head on Bo's shoulder taking in the view of her Succubus and the view from the window.
Queen Isabeau.
The Queen had decided to check on her prisoners personally and walked down into the dungeons to do just that. Some of them were soon to be released and she was keeping her word on that.
Walking down the hall, she peaked into every window and saw some sleeping or eating. She turned her attention back to the hall in front of her and stopped when she noticed a body in the middle of the floor.
Rushing over, the Succubus growled. Cedric had been badly injured.
"What happened? Queen Isabeau asked angrily.
"Dyson. When I went to change his dog dish, he bit me in the neck". Cedric groaned.
The Queen bent down and pushed Chi into him. She called upstairs for Oscar to come down and when the massive Fae arrived, she told him to take Cedric upstairs to rest. Once Cedric was in a bed, Oscar was to return to the dungeons.
The Succubus growled once again when they were out of sight. Dyson's room was empty. "Dyson! Where are you?!
She unleashed her Succubus to allow her to find the wolf. He had really overstepped now.
"Oh where. Oh where has my little dog gone? Oh where, oh where can he be? Queen Isabeau laughed. She smiled again when her Succubus had honed in on his location.
"I told you not to eat what wasn't yours. I was nice enough to allow you to heal here. Lets see how you heal after I have kicked your ass! Queen Isabeau said. To make the fight fair, she pushed Chi into Dyson and the wolf growled when he noticed his legs were healed.
"Did you think that was only Hades powers? No foolish dog. Why do you think Trick fell in love with me? I healed his legs once too". The Succubus snapped.
"My Queen I'm sorry I was hungry and couldn't control my wolf! Dyson screamed in pain.
"Boy I am not one of your conquests that you can lie to. I am your Queen. I am the Queen you disobeyed. I allowed you to heal here and this is how you repay me? The Succubus snapped breaking Dyson's arm.
The wolf screamed in pain when she bent the other one back. He knew she was about break that one too, and she did. She growled and threw him against the wall time and time again. Once she tired of that, she slammed his face into the ground, until she heard his nose break. She smiled with pleasure and stood up.
"Cedric is an old friend. Practically a brother. You screwed with the wrong family". Queen Isabeau said.
"You're not going to kill me? Dyson asked through the pain.
"Now I didn't say that". The Succubus laughed as she slammed him into a wall again. She sighed when she heard his bones breaking. She dusted herself off and waved Oscar back from the wolf.
"Don't give him anything to eat. Not even a bone". The Succubus said walking out into the hall leaving Dyson in another filthy dungeon.
