Kenzi

Kenzi had woken up in a room and bed that she didn't recognize. It held the castle's scents so she knew she wasn't in a strange place. But the one thing that was strange was, she hadn't seen or talked to Dagny in days.

Damn kids she thought. She watched her to protect her from Hades, but this was not like her to just leave Kenzi without a note or word. She showered and dressed and left the castle. She had to find her. Maybe she went to Kenzi's and has been there for days. She had to be somewhere. She's Bo's sister and still a baby Valkyrie. Anyone would love to get their hands on her. Kenzi was going to when she found her. She taught her better than this. She drove as fast as her car could go. She needed to get home, if she wasn't there. Then Kenzi was fucked.

Bo and Dagny.

Bo and Lauren had a wonderful night as newlyweds, but then Bo felt bad about Dagny not being there. She was surprised when the woman showed up asking to take Bo out to breakfast. She smiled at the thought. She could eat what she wanted, and it wouldn't be on Lauren's list of healthy foods. She shook her head. That was not a good thought.

"So how have you been? Bo asked as she made a right turn.

"Good Bo. I have been really good. I met someone. Someone I want you to meet. She's important to me". Dagny smiled.

"Dating already? Bo laughed.

"It's not like that. She's just a friend, but I still want you to meet her". Dagny replied.

"If she is important to you, I'm sure I will like her". Bo smiled.

Dagny nodded, and turned back to face the road.

"So where to? Bo asked.

"It's about another mile down the road. I will tell you when to turn again". Dagny said.

"Ok sweetie". Bo said tapping Dagny's hand.

Lauren

Since Bo had gone off with her sister with Lauren's blessing, the Doctor decided to work a little bit. She was only going to check in and see what had been going on in her absence.

Once she found out the clinic was running well, she decided to return to the castle to help with the clean up. She was sure it had been cleaned by now, but that didn't stop her from wanting to help. They had done so much for her, what could be as bad as pushing a broom or two?

She pulled up and was immediately helped out of her car. "Good morning Your Highness". Bruce bowed.

Lauren blushed and walked forward. "Are Queen Isabeau and Aife here? She asked.

"Of course. They are in the Royal dining room having a late breakfast. If you hurry, you could probably grab some grub". Bruce answered.

"Thank you Bruce". Lauren smiled and Bruce bowed again as she walked down the hall.

"What a party we had last night! Aife laughed.

"Yes I didn't even know Cedric was that well enough to cut a rug like that". Queen Isabeau laughed.

"He's got skills". Aife laughed as she drank her coffee.

Both women were looking over their morning reports as they ate. There wasn't much to report as most of the Fae had been at Bo and Lauren's reception until the wee hours of the morning.

"Is his Royal uniform about finished? Queen Isabeau asked

"Yes. It should be ready by noon". Aife answered.

The Queen Succubus had Cedric's uniform tailor made. It took a little longer to do when he was laid up in his sick bed, but now that he was better, it was almost finished to her specifications.

"Excellent". Queen Isabeau smiled closing her folder.

"Mom you are not thinking about giving up the throne for him are you? Because I don't want to be Queen yet and you deserve to be". Aife said seriously.

"Of course not Aife. I love the man, but not that much to give up my throne. I just want him to have a high position. He deserves it". Queen Isabeau explained.

"Good. Good. I'm serious though. You deserve to be Queen. Besides I can do and get away with shit and I don't have to think about the outcome as much if I were Queen". Aife laughed.

"I will be Queen for a long, long time Aife. Don't worry". Queen Isabeau laughed. She dreaded Aife as Queen. She would drain the colony the first day she took the throne. Then who would be left for her to rule over?

"Whew". Aife laughed, mock wiping her brow

"May I join you? Lauren asked from the door.

"Why yes Your Highness! Queen Isabeau and Aife laughed in unison.

"I'm sorry. I should have called first. But Bo went to have breakfast with Dagny and I didn't want to go to work" Lauren said biting her lip.

"Nonsense you are really family now. You never have to call first or need an excuse to come over". Queen Isabeau said.

Aife stood and pulled out a chair for Lauren. "Have a seat Your Highness. Edna bring Her Highness a plate. Pronto! Aife screamed.

"Yes Your Highness". Edna bowed from across the room.

"So how are you doing this morning? Queen Aife cooed as she sat across from Lauren.

"Good. Really, really good! Lauren beamed.

"Please don't tell us about your sex life, we almost got a good look at that before". Aife laughed.

"I would never talk about that with the two of you". Lauren laughed.

"Good and I won't talk about my feeds with you". Aife laughed and watched as Edna set a few plates down in front of Lauren.

Lauren was touched that the woman knew her favorite foods. She picked up a fork and took a bite just to get past the sex talk moment.

"So is Isabeau still eating properly? Getting enough rest outside of you playing Doctor with her? Aife laughed.

"Aife". Queen Isabeau laughed.

"What? I said that as non sexually as I could". Aife laughed.

"She's doing good. I have eased back a bit on what she eats. The babies should be forming nicely by now". Lauren said drinking a sip of coffee. Bo was a little bigger this morning. But not big enough to cause concern.

"Good. Succubus babies can kick your ass. Holy crap did Bo kick the hell out of me". Aife laughed.

"We fed them before Bo left this morning, so they should be good for a bit". Lauren blushed. Feeding with Bo was so sexual but thinking of the kids kind of put a damper on those feelings. After the babies are born, it will be on, Lauren thought internally.

"What do you ladies say we walk the castle? Show Lauren what's what, since she's a Princess now". Queen Isabeau suggested.

"Great idea". Aife smiled as she stood up.

Lauren wiped her mouth and stood up to follow them. That would be a good idea. She hadn't really seen much of the Castle before. The Royal rooms that is. She had seen a few, but not all of them. She blushed when they gave her a temporary Tiara to wear since hers was at home sitting on a table next to Bo's.

Bo and Dagny

Bo and Dagny were an hour into their breakfast and Dagny's friend still hadn't shown. Bo found it odd, but figured Dagny had just been stood up. She tried to make as much conversation as she could to take the Valkyrie's mind off of it.

They talked about video games, new movies that were coming out. Old movies Dagny hadn't seen yet. Leather Bots and clothes.

"I swear she's coming to join us Bo, she's just a little late". Dagny said shyly.

"I'm more worried about you, if she's stood you up". Bo said softly.

"I told you. It's not like that, she's just a friend". Dagny said.

"Ok..". Bo said and adjusted to the twins kicking her suddenly.

When it kept on for ten minutes, Bo pulled out her phone. "Lauren. Lauren I think there's something wrong with the babies". She groaned.

"Bo. Just breathe ok". Lauren said trying to calm her wife.

"Lauren I have been doing that for about eleven minutes now. Something is wrong". Bo cried.

"Shit. You didn't tell me that part". Lauren said.

"Lauren...". Bo groaned.

"Just tell me where you are and I will be right there". Lauren said waving the Queen and Aife back over to her.

"What's wrong? Aife asked worriedly.

"Bo's in pain and worried about the babies". Lauren explained.

"Fuck! Where is she?! Aife asked.

"I don't know. This is a new part of town to me. I was too busy talking to Dagny to get street names". Bo said.

"What's the name of the restaurant? Lauren asked.

"We are not at a restaurant. Dagny said it's her friends house". Bo answered.

"I will be right there. I will be right there. Hang on sweetie". Lauren said.

"Lauren please hurry". Bo cried.

"I will be right there". Lauren said hanging up.

"There she is Bo! I told you she'd come! Dagny said

"Aww fuck! Bo screamed as the pain kicked in again.

Valhalla

"Trick you have to let me go back. They are going to kill her! Tamsin said frantically.

"You cannot alter destiny Tamsin. She got herself into this and you are not going back. I'm so sorry". Trick said.

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck! Tamsin screamed.

Lauren, Aife and Queen Isabeau.

The Succubus looked at Lauren who had turned sheet white.

"Lauren?! Talk to us! Aife screamed.

Lauren closed her eyes and when she opened them, they were almost completely gold.

"I'm coming Bo". Lauren said and ran out of the castle.

"Get the Royal Hummers! Queen Isabeau screamed chasing after Lauren.

The Hummers immediately pulled up in front of the castle, but by the time the Queen made it, Lauren was already gone.

"She went that way My Queen! Bruce said hopping into the driver's seat.

"Then follow her! Queen Isabeau said.

According to Bruce, Lauren had looked like lightning when she ran down the street, with only dirt and her hair blowing in the wind behind her.

Aife and Queen Isabeau were frantic and instructed the Hummers to use the Royal Sirens to bypass red lights.

Bo and Dagny.

"What the fuck are you doing here? Bo asked.

"Good to see you again too Bo. You're looking...well". Acacia said rubbing Bo's stomach.

"Get the fuck off of me! Bo groaned. She was sure the kids didn't like the woman, and that's why they were kicking her up a storm.

"Wait you guys know each other? She said she only heard of you". Dagny said.

"This bitch was a friend of Tamsin's. If she's here, it can't be good for me! Bo screamed.

"I'm sorry Bo. I didn't know". Dagny said.

"You should have come to me! Or Kenzi! Bo snapped. She wasn't really mad at Dagny. She was mad at herself for not telling Dagny about this backstabbing bitch that should have been dead long ago.

"Are you going into labor!? Because I want you to". Acacia laughed.

"Get the fuck away from my wife! Lauren snapped from the door.

"Ahh Dr. Lewis, still missing a strand of hair? Acacia laughed.

"Lady I don't know you and I don't want to". Lauren said stepping towards Bo.

"But I know you. You were used to make Massimo's potion. Remember Tamsin came by to tell you that she and Bo kissed. She took a strand of your hair to make the potion". Acacia said.

Valhalla

"Trick please. I'm begging you". Tamsin said.

"Tamsin you're already dead, if you go back, they will break every piece of you. You are not going back". Trick repeated for the hundredth time.

Bo, Lauren, Dagny and Acacia

"You mean the day I slapped her? That's a lot tamer than what I am about to do to you". Lauren said standing protectively over Bo.

"Lauren...". Bo groaned.

The Doctor bent down and put her hand on Bo's stomach. "It's ok my loves". She cooed.

"Now that's cute. You're going to have babies bye a promiscuous Succubus". Acacia laughed.

"What do you want?! Bo asked as Lauren helped her stand.

"Rainer. He wants your babies. All he needs is one to trade the Blood King for and then he can come back, like Lauren was able to". Acacia said winking at Lauren and regretted it as the Doctor punched her and sent her flying into the nearest wall.

Lauren turned to Bo and kissed her. She pulled back so Bo could feed the babies, and herself.

"Lauren...what are you doing? Bo asked tearfully.

"Stay here. They are coming for you". Lauren whispered.

"No Lauren! No! Don't leave me again! Don't leave us! Bo cried.

"You are in no position to fight. I got this". Lauren said kissing Bo once more.

The Succubus sulked because Lauren was right. She can't fight while she's pregnant.

"Alright bitches who's ass is mine first?! Aife screamed.

"Hi Aife. Bye Aife". Acacia said.

"Oh no you don't! Lauren said running after Acacia. The Queen and Aife stood aside.

"Watch after Bo! Lauren screamed over her shoulder.

"Lauren! Bo wailed.

"Come Your Highness. The Royal Hummers are waiting." Bruce said picking Bo up.

"Bring her and find me Kenzi! Queen Isabeau said angrily pointing to Dagny.

"Lauren, she's gone again". Bo cried into her sleeve.

"No she's not. She will be back". Aife said rubbing Bo's back.

"She just left me. To run off after someone". Bo cried.

"Isabeau seriously? Are you seriously going to sit in my Hummer, and in my presence whining about Lauren going on a case? Queen Isabeau laughed.

"What? That was different". Bo cried.

"No it wasn't. You left her many times to play cops and robbers. Did she cry when you left her then? Queen Isabeau asked.

"I don't know. I never asked. Those cases were important". Bo said wiping her eyes.

"So is what Lauren is doing. We are honoring her wishes by getting you back to the castle and we are going to watch over you until she comes back...to You". Aife said.

"I just want Lauren and I keep losing her". Bo sobbed.

"The woman just married you, in front of all of us. You are carrying her children. You need to learn to trust in your love Isabeau or you will lose her, and not the way you think you will". Aife said.

"Lauren is strong enough to fight for herself and the two of you. She will come back to you. Trust your relationship. Trust us". Queen Isabeau said.

Bo nodded. They were right. She had no right to pout about Lauren running off on some wild goose chase. Acacia looked half dead, Lauren was no killer, but she would surely kill the woman.

"My Queen, we lost Dagny". A man's voice came into the Queen's phone.

"Find her! Queen Isabeau screamed.

"What's wrong now? Aife asked.

"They lost Dagny, but Isabeau is our priority. They will find her". Queen Isabeau answered.

Lauren and Acacia.

"Lauren you can't kill me. You're not capable". Acacia said mocking Lauren.

"I have all day to figure that out, and I will. Rainer was a dick and you're a bigger one for coming after my family". Lauren laughed.

The women circled and punched each other. Lauren was not stunned at all, and kept going at the Valkyrie.

She jumped when the Valkyrie pulled out a long blade. "Do you know what this is? She asked.

"Hades Sword. I guess you don't know that I killed him too". Lauren laughed.

"One touch and you will join him. Then Rainer can bargain your soul for his. All I need to do is kill you and Tamsin will come for you, since your Bo's mate". Acacia said.

Lauren laughed walked up and touched the sword. Acacia screamed when it didn't affect the Doctor.

"Lets see what it does to you". Lauren laughed as she snatched the sword away.

Acacia looked on in horror. If she as much as touched her, she would be dead. She had worn protective gear, but not head gear.

"Come on Acacia". Lauren laughed twirling the sword in her bare hands.

Acacia swallowed hard and her only option was to run for it and live to fight another day. She turned and ran as fast as she could. But she was no match for Lauren.

Lauren even gave her a head start as she raced towards a wooded area. Lauren walked once she reached the area.

Watch yourself Acacia. You have been doing this for years. She's only a human. Brought back from where no Fae had gone before.

"I do want to make it home before dinner time". Lauren laughed.

The Doctor stopped when Dagny dropped in front of her.

"You shouldn't be here". Lauren bristled.

"She's my friend Lauren". Dagny said.

"She's a bitch". Lauren said angrily.

"Atta girl Dagny. You gave me a chance to attack". Acacia said grabbing Lauren from behind. She screamed when her skin started to burn.

"What the hell?! Acacia screamed, after she let Lauren go.

"You fucked up thinking I was just a human. And I look like it, but looks are deceiving". Lauren laughed as she turned and poked the woman in the stomach with the sword.

Lauren and Dagny watched as the woman died in front of them.

"Dagny". Tamsin said softly.

"Mom? Dagny asked looking at the tall woman that stood in front of her.

"Don't kill her Lauren. She doesn't know what she's done". Tamsin pleaded.

"Fine. You take care of your child, and I will take care of mine". Lauren said

"I need to take Acacia back". Tamsin cried tearfully.

"I will take her back. You came out of those gates right? Lauren asked pointing behind Tamsin.

"Yes but you're not a Valkyrie, you cannot enter". Tamsin said.

"Shows what you know. I wore those Hel Skor shoes in Dyson's dreams, and I'm Bo's mate. I can go anywhere I want to go". Lauren laughed as she entered the gates with Acacia.

"Where did she go? Dagny asked.

"She won't be gone for long. You and I need to talk and we don't have long". Tamsin said finding some tree stumps for them to sit on.

"I know you are my mother. Kenzi showed me pictures of you and told me about you". Dagny said.

"Then you should know everything you do, could cost you your life. You have to be careful who and what you spend time with. The Fae won't care who you are, they will snap your neck. You won't have a lot of lives like I did. Stick to Bo, Lauren, and Kenzi. They have been in this life a long time. Bo is the most powerful Fae in the world. Their kids will be too. Don't meet up with strangers in strange far out places. Stick to what you know but listen to your gut too". Tamsin explained.

Dagny nodded.

"Give me a hug kid".Tamsin said holding her arms out. She could get mushy but she had no time for that.

Valhalla

"Lauren you shouldn't be here". Trick snapped.

"Where is he? Lauren asked.

"You can't go there". Trick snapped again.

"Trick I am going to ask you once more before I tear this place up. Where is he? Lauren asked again.

"Down the hall on the left. He's in the last room. Hurry or you won't be able to go back". Trick warned.

"We'll see". Lauren said carrying Acacia's body down the hall and kicked the door in.

"Ah Rainer. We never officially met right? Lauren laughed throwing Acacia at him.

"You got a second chance, why shouldn't I get one? Rainer asked.

"Don't you mean a third? Lauren laughed.

"What are you talking about? Rainer asked.

"Your life before the train. Your life on the train. Your life after the train. That's three genius". Lauren laughed.

"You're just jealous that Bo chose me over you. You will feel better when you admit it". Rainer said mocking her.

"The old Lauren would have cared about that little snide remark. But the new Lauren doesn't give a damn but what I do give a damn about is my family. Bo and my kids are my family. Mine". Lauren laughed flashing her wedding rings.

"Time is running out Dr. Lewis". Trick said over the intercom.

"Think you can deal with me and be back at the gate before Tamsin closes it behind her? Rainer laughed.

"I know I can". Lauren laughed.

"Then come on". Rainer laughed too.

The two circled each other. Lauren needed to be smart. It would be tough to beat a man with foresight.

Kick, jab, trip. She repeated every move. Sensing the clock was coming to a stop, she jumped up and when he went with her, she spun him around, and slammed the top of his head into the ground.

"Come on. I want you to get reacquainted with an old friend of the family". Lauren laughed as she dragged him to a door that she was sure lead to Tartarus, at least by Bo's description.

"No! Don't push me in there! Rainer screamed and struggled to break free of the Doctor's grip, but it was too late, she pushed him in. She heard him all the way back past Trick, and to the gates just as Tamsin was about to close them.

"Where's Dagny? Lauren asked.

"She flew back to Kenzi's". Tamsin said tearfully.

Lauren nodded and turned to leave. No need in standing around talking to Tamsin for kicks when they really never had much in common but Bo. But that was Lauren's old life. She was ready to get back to her new one.

She closed her eyes and ran as fast as she did the first time.

Queen Isabeau's castle.

"She's resting". Aife said.

Queen Isabeau paced back and forth.

"You're worried now? Aife asked.

"I thought Kenzi was watching this girl. They almost got to Bo". Queen Isabeau said.

Kenzi's

"Geez kid. Where the hell have you been? Kenzi sighed as Dagny walked in.

"Don't ask Aunt Kenzi. I screwed up". Dagny said.

"What did you do? Kenzi asked.

"I brought Bo to a new friend. Turns out they all knew the friend". Dagny said sadly.

"Oh shit. Who was it? Kenzi asked bracing herself.

"Her name was Acacia. Lauren killed her and she looked pissed at me". Dagny said.

"Shitballs. We are fucked". Kenzi said.

"I'm sorry Aunt Kenzi. I didn't know". Dagny said.

"Don't worry about it, but next time. Let me meet this friend ok? Kenzi said gently rubbing the Valkyrie's back.

"Ok". Dagny said.

Kenzi sighed. They still had a problem, so she pulled her jacket on expecting said problem to show up at her door.

She walked over when the doorbell rang.

"The Queen requests your presence right now". Bruce said.

"Lets go kid". Kenzi said turning to Dagny.

Queen Isabeau's castle.

"My Queen. They are here". Cedric bowed as Kenzi and Dagny entered the throne room.

"That will be all Cedric, thank you". Queen Isabeau said.

"Before we get started your Queen Succubus. I had no idea what she was doing. I haven't seen her in days now. She's just a baby". Kenzi pleaded Dagny's case.

"You two are to be watched thoroughly. My granddaughter was lured away and could have lost her babies. That cannot be overlooked. Once I have decided where you will live, you will stay here. Under heavy security. The only times you won't be watched is when you have to piss or bathe". Queen Isabeau said angrily.

"Your Queen Succubus, I have a house and bills to pay". Kenzi said.

"Your house is mine until I am ready to give it back to you. If you hadn't been so obssed with us being fake, this could have been avoided". Aife snapped.

"She's not the Queen. Can she do that? Kenzi scoffed.

"Bitch please I can do whatever I want". Aife snapped again.

"Silence! Queen Isabeau snapped.

Kenzi stood straight up and Dagny stood with her head down.

"The first thing you will do is apologize to Bo. Then Princess Lauren when she returns". Queen Isabeau commanded.

"Princess Lauren has returned". Lauren said entering the room.

"Lauren! Bo screamed as she ran into the room and nearly tackled the Doctor.

"I'm sorry My Queen. She sensed Princess Lauren and ran from her room". Bruce said.

"It's quie alright Bruce. You are dismissed". Queen Isabeau said.

"Yes My Queen". Bruce bowed.

"Shouldn't you be in bed? Lauren smiled.

"I was so worried Lauren". Bo said as she snuggled into Lauren's neck.

"I'm taking my wife home. We've had a long enough day". Lauren cooed as she turned around.

"Wait Princess Lauren. Dagny and Kenzi have something to say to you and Princess Bo". Aife said.

"We're sorry. We are so, so sorry". Kenzi said gently as she held Dagny's hand. The girl might screw up their apology.

"Do not come near us". Lauren said as her eyes flashed gold.

"You're upset. We get it". Kenzi said.

Lauren rolled her eyes and walked Bo out with Bruce's help.

"Take them away". Queen Isabeau said.

"Yes My Queen". Cedric said.

"Wait. Wait. One question". Kenzi said.

"Ok. But you only get one". Aife said.

"You called Lauren Princess earlier. Did they get married and I missed it? Kenzi asked.

Aife laughed. "That's two questions. But yes they did and you were there". She said showing Kenzi a picture she kept on her phone for this occasion.

"What the fuck?! I don't even remember this". Kenzi sighed.

"Go see Dyson. He's watching it over and over on a loop". Aife laughed.

"Take them away! Queen Isabeau said. The Succubus breathed a sigh of relief that Lauren was back and taking Bo home, where they belonged. Together.
