Lauren and Bo

Lauren didn't have to move to know that she was totally alone in bed. She smiled and pulled on her robe and slippers and walked out of the room. Her heart sank when she entered the nursery. Bo was in a rocking chair rocking one of the twins. She wasn't sure which one it was yet, but it didn't matter. Her wife never looked more beautiful.

Bo put her finger over her mouth to shush Lauren from talking too loudly.

"How long have you been here? Lauren mouthed.

"Most of the night". Bo mouthed back.

Lauren nodded and smiled again as Bo stood up and walked over to the crib and placed their daughter inside. Bo pulled the covers over the baby and just watched them.

"Bo. Have you been doing that all night? Lauren asked.

"Sorry I couldn't help it. I kept thinking I was hearing noises and came in here". Bo sighed.

"Never apologize for checking on them or being protective". Lauren smiled rubbing Bo's back as they both stood watching their daughters sleep.

"They are so beautiful Lauren. I just...I just never thought we would ever have kids". Bo said tearfully.

"Yes they are and they are here, and ours". Lauren smiled drying Bo's tears.

"How long have you been up? Bo asked.

"Not long. Once I noticed I was alone in the bed, I came to check on you, checking on them". Lauren half laughed.

"Chloe woke up first. I was just worried they weren't sleeping at all. She looked a little pale so I fed her". Bo rambled off.

"Bo she will be fine, they both will". Lauren said gently kissing the Succubus cheek.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry". Bo sobbed looking at the kids again.

"Stop apologizing. It's normal to worry so much and often". Lauren said taking one of Bo's hands and pulled her from the crib.

Lauren sank into the rocking chair that she found Bo in and pulled the Succubus on her lap. Bo accepted the gesture and rested her head on Lauren's shoulder. The Doctor knew Bo wasn't going to be able to sleep in their bed that night, so she rocked the Succubus to sleep, until she too fell asleep.

Aife

The Succubus laughed over and over, as she paced outside of Dyson's room. She even ran her fingernails over the door frame.

"I wonder how Isabeau is going to kill you". Aife mocked.

"Where is she? Dyson growled.

"Home with her family, probably on top of Lauren doing what you want to do to my daughter". Aife laughed again.

Dyson slammed his head against the floor in anger.

"Careful dog, Isabeau wants you alive. Which is why mother and I are letting you live for now". Aife smiled as she looked through the small window.

"What did she say? Dyson asked.

"Not much other than she wanted to deal with you herself. Bet you wish you mated with someone else now huh? Aife laughed.

"Bo and I belong together. She will come to know that. We were supposed to reconcile after Lauren died. Only Lauren came back, and stole the life that was meant for me. Trick even encouraged me to wait until Lauren died to get my chance again". Dyson groaned.

"And...where is Trick again? Aife laughed.

"He should be here and you should be in Valhalla! What kind of strings did you have to pull to come back? Dyson asked angrily.

"Foolish wolf, the Queen knows thousands of Fae and most of them still owe her. She has far more reach than your precious Blood King ever had. Shifters far more stronger than you bow to her, like you bowed to the wrong royal". Aife laughed.

"I know plenty of Fae too. Probably in the same circles as the Queen's". Dyson replied bitterly.

"None that you haven't stuck your boys inside of". Aife laughed.

Dyson rolled his eyes. He had male friends, but the women seemed to flock to him more. But once he mated with Bo, it was hard to return their feelings or sexual desires towards him. Bo was all he knew, all he wanted. That and his friendships with Kenzi and Dagny.

"None of them would ever cross the Queen for you. She could snatch your nuts off in one try. But as I said, I wonder how Isabeau is going to kill you" Aife laughed as she walked off.

Dyson tensed on the floor as he heard a door slam. Surely that wasn't Bo this early in the morning, so it had to be Aife leaving the dungeons. He closed his eyes and tried to think of what he was going to tell the Succubus. He hadn't even had time alone with her since Lauren died and returned. They used to talk all the time, at the Dal or over the phone. He was always there for Bo, no matter what was going on between her and Lauren or him and her. Lauren is a nice enough girl, but her time had come and gone. It pissed him off how cruel fate and time had been in bringing her back.

He wondered about the Fae Aife mentioned the Queen knowing. He had lived thousands of years too. Known many, even if he had lost contact with them. Like Ciara, he had known her forever, then she died. If he admitted it to himself, she was better off where she was before he ever saw her again. But by the time she returned, he had already mated with Bo. Then there was Alicia, he wanted her even if he could never love her, then she returned to her husband. There went his chance, just like Lauren returning to Bo. What was that all about? Bo was devastated but she would have snapped out of it. She just needed to feed, and bury Lauren, like they did Kenzi. Then he could have had Bo, and everything would be like it was supposed to be. Bo told him many times that she didn't love him as he loves her, but in time that could have changed. All he needs is a chance. Fae are married for a thousand years, but it's not like Bo hadn't crossed the line with him before when she and Lauren were only a couple. All he needs to do is get Bo alone, and she will understand that she is his, and he is hers.

Aife and Queen Isabeau.

"My Queen Mother". Aife bowed in front of the Succubus.

"What have you done now Aife? Queen Isabeau asked.

"Nothing. Just bowing to the Queen". Aife smiled.

"I know that look Aife. What is it? Queen Isabeau smiled.

"Nothing really. I just came from seeing that pathetic wolf. He honestly thinks one talk with Isabeau is going to fix things between them". Aife laughed.

"I almost kicked his ass last night, but remembered she wants to deal with him herself". Queen Isabeau said.

"Language young lady, language". Aife laughed.

"Being a grandmother is making you loopy". Queen Isabeau laughed.

"They are so gorgeous! I can't wait to baby-sit". Aife laughed clapping her hands.

"Spoiled rotten I presume". Queen Isabeau laughed.

"And why shouldn't they be! Aife smiled.

"They are Lauren's too Aife. Don't do anything that goes against how they want to raise them". Queen Isabeau said seriously.

"What happens at grandma's, stays at grandma's". Aife winked.

"Aife". Queen Isabeau said.

"Nope. Not telling". Aife laughed.

"Fine. How's Kenzi and Dagny? Queen Isabeau asked.

"Dead I hope". Aife laughed.

"Aife". Queen Isabeau replied as she put her morning reports down.

"Anxious to see the twins". Aife raged with her eyes flashing blue.

"Calm your Succubus. You know we won't let anything happen to them". Queen Isabeau said quietly.

"My Queen. Princess Isabeau and Princess Lauren are here! Bruce smiled as he bowed.

"We will see right now". Aife said.

Queen Isabeau and Aife hurried out of the room. They couldn't wait to see them.

"They are going to bust the windows! Aife screamed as the twins crying was rattling the building.

"Calm my loves". Bo and Lauren cooed in unison and the twins stopped crying.

"Dagny". Lauren said.

"That and or Dyson". Bo said.

"Lets go into the sitting room. While Bruce gathers Kenzi and Dagny". Queen Isabeau said.

"Mom are you nuts? They will go nuts! Aife said.

"The sooner we introduce them to them, the sooner they will get to see them, and say goobye all at the same time". Bo said.

Bruce bowed and ran out of the room. The big man was causing the floors to vibrate. That rattled the twins too. But Bo and Lauren were still holding them, so they were quiet for the time being.

"That one still looks at me funny". Aife laughed.

"Chloe, mom, Chloe". Bo laughed.

"So when do I get to baby-sit? Aife asked excitedly.

"Soon. Bo and I need to go on our official honeymoon". Lauren smiled as she rocked Chloe as Bo held Charlotte.

"Do you need anything? Queen Isabeau asked.

"I have that covered but thank you though". Lauren smiled.

Queen Isabeau smiled back, and nodded.

Bo rolled her eyes when she heard distinct boot heels hitting the floor.

"Bo! It's about da...

"Do not curse in front of my daughters". Bo said seriously.

"It's about time we got to meet them. I didn't even know you were a mother yet. We have a lot of catching up to do". Kenzi said.

"First of all, there is no we, since you can't or refuse to accept my family, or my wife. Secondly I don't have time to kick back like we used to. This is my priority. You will not bring that fake family crap around them either. You are lucky I am allowing you to meet them. It's taking everything in me to calm my Succubus, so now that you have seen them, move so Dagny can meet them". Bo snapped gently trying not to wake the the Succubus in her daughter.

"I'm so sorry Bo". Dagny said.

"Don't sorry me. You could have come to me. Instead you trusted a stranger. There is no telling what would have happened to me or our daughters had Acacia succeeded. Just like Kenzi your time is up". Bo snapped again. Lauren wanted to wait to show them the twins, but Bo wanted to get it over with and now it almost was.

"Can't I hold them? Dagny asked.

"Hell no". Bo, Lauren, Aife and Queen Isabeau said in unison.

"Here Mom, take Charlotte. I'm going to go see Dyson". Bo said gently handing the little Succubus to Aife.

"Finally! Aife laughed as she took her granddaughter into her arms.

"Do you want me to come with you? Lauren asked.

"No my love, I need to do this alone. I will be back soon". Bo said as she kissed Lauren on the forehead.

"This way Your Highness". Cedric said guiding Bo to Dyson's room.

"Lauren. Have a seat. She has to do this alone. It has nothing to do with you or how much she loves you". Aife said as she rocked Charlotte.

"He's a pompous bastard, and Bo needs to do this. He hasn't been listening to us either". Queen Isabeau said.

Lauren nodded and took her seat. "I told Bo that I didn't come back for this...sh...drama".

"None of us did, but you have to expect the occasional idiot here, and there". Aife laughed.

"What about us? Kenzi asked.

"We forgot you were even here". Aife laughed again.

"Take them back to their quarters". Queen Isabeau said.

"Yes My Queen". Bruce bowed.

"That's all we get? Slammed into a room? Kenzi scoffed.

"That's all you deserve". Aife said bouncing Charlotte.

"Why can't I go home? Kenzi asked.

"Good idea. Bruce have them taken home but they are never to leave without an entourage of guards". Queen Isabeau said.

"Yes My Queen". Bruce bowed.

Aife laughed as the ladies were escorted out of the castle and off of the property.

"It is ok Chloe". Queen Isabeau cooed as the baby became restless.

Lauren smiled as their daughters played with their grandmothers. As soon as Dagny left the room, their moods did improve. Bo spared the Valkyrie but she knew that may not be the same for Dyson.

Bo and Dyson

"Do you need me to stay Your Highness? Cedric asked.

"No that is not necessary Cedric. Please return to the Queen". Bo smiled gently as Cedric opened Dyson's door.

"Yes Princess Isabeau". Cedric said loud enough for Dyson to hear him. He almost felt sorry for the wolf but after what he had done to him, he's lucky he hadn't killed him yet.

"Bo! Finally! I knew you'd come". Dyson screamed across the room.

"As you were Dyson". Bo said waving him back. Dyson frowned seeing the rings on her fingers.

"Bo listen...". Dyson said.

"No I will not listen. You will listen to me. I'm married with children now. They are my life and my priority". Bo said as she twitched her nose from the funk in the room.

"This was supposed to be our time Bo. Ours! Yours and mine, not yours and Lauren. She had her time, this is my time! Dyson snapped.

"I told you I wasn't in love with you Dyson. For years I told you that, and you never believed it. I take some responsibility in that since we slept together so much. But even then my heart was always, always with Lauren. Like it is now and forever. I love her more than my own life. I love them more than my own soul. They are my family and you are nothing but a threat to them now. My daughters already sense a threat in you and that's something they won't ever suffer with again". Bo countered. She was right about leading Dyson on through so many trysts. She should have fought for Lauren harder and none of this would be necessary.

"I understand that you love her. But that has never stopped us before. Not even when you were in a relationship with her. You always came to me. Me. Not her. Me. I can be all that you need. I've told you that over and over again, and you never believed that either". Dyson said.

"Lauren is everything to me Dyson. Everything. She loves me in a way that you never could. You always wanted to fight my battles for me, that's why you lost your love in the first place. I asked you to stay out of it and you went to the Norn and she took it from you. That wasn't a sacrifice, because you offered her your wolf. You told me that! Yes I slept with you when I was with Lauren, to heal only. There was no love there. Maybe we are both the dumb ones, because Lauren forgave me for that knowing I would need to heal elsewhere, but now it's our time again. I will spend the rest of eternity making that up to her, as her wife and mother to her children". Bo said now standing eye to eye with Dyson as he used the wall to lean on.

"Bo. I can be better. I can change". Dyson said.

"I won't cheat on her again. Not for you or anyone else". Bo said turning to leave.

"Bo you can't go. I won't let you! Dyson screamed as her grabbed Bo's arm.

The Succubus growled as she turned around and swung at him. She hit him so hard his head violently twisted around in a full circle. The force slammed his entire body into the wall. She watched as the wolf fell dead to the floor.

The Succubus smiled and left him where he was. "Get that thing out of my grandmother's castle". She smiled at Cedric who bowed to the blue-eyed woman. He had been busy with other prisoners and hadn't returned to the Queen, as he had been instructed to.

Lauren stirred in her seat. She knew something was wrong, and she stood up to and fix it.

"Their bond is hellacious". Aife laughed.

"That it is". Queen Isabeau cooed in Chloe's ear. She smiled at the young Succubus. She looked so much like Bo and Lauren all at the same time. Her eyes looked as though she was studying her great-grandmother's soul.

"They are going to be handfuls when they get bigger and I am going to enjoy every minute of it". Aife laughed.

"Do you think they will be Doctors too? Queen Isabeau giggled.

"The way they look at me like a Science experiment, I suspect they will". Aife smiled as she kissed Charlotte.

Bo and Lauren

Lauren waited at the top of the stairs as the Succubus climbed them.

"It's ok". Lauren said opening her arms to the brunette.

The Succubus eyes turned brown as Bo took the last step. "He just couldn't let go. I told him over and over that I love you. He either didn't care or thought it would finally change if I slept with him one more time". She sighed taking Lauren's hand as they walked down the long hall.

"I warned him, Aife and Isabeau warned him, Bo. He wasn't listening or couldn't accept it". Lauren said softly.

"Lauren I'm sorry. So sorry". Bo said.

"Bo we aren't about to have the same conversation again are we? Lauren asked.

"I know. I know you didn't come back to me for this. But I need to say these things. I love you Lauren, and I'm sorry. So sorry that I ever hurt you or made you believe that I didn't love you. I was nasty when I had no right to be and jealous when I wasn't doing anything to get you back. I was no different than Dyson, no matter how many times I kissed you, I wanted you to come back to me because I was where you belonged. Assuming I deserved you without having to fight for you. Maybe it was the Fae in me that thought our kisses would make you come back to me. I needed to work for you outside of our beds and your lab. Try to get you to see my love, and I didn't. I just let you walk away without asking why you weren't happy. I just want you to know that I'm sorry and all of that taking you for granted is over". Bo said as tears fell. Lauren stopped walking and used her thumb pads to dry Bo's tears.

"It's ready Princess Lauren". Cedric bowed.

"Thank you Cedric". Lauren smiled as the man walked ahead of them.

"What's ready? Bo asked curiously.

Lauren didn't say anything, she just pulled her wife along.

"They are all yours". Lauren said watching Aife and the Queen playing with the babies.

"You mean I finally get to baby-sit?! Aife beamed.

"With Isabeau's help". Lauren laughed.

"Have fun". Queen Isabeau winked at Lauren and Bo.

"Oooo weee. We are about to have so much fun Charlotte and Chloe! Aife smiled again.

"Lauren where are we going? Bo asked.

"On our honeymoon". Lauren smiled pulling Bo towards the Royal Hummer.

"But we didn't bring any clothes or anything". Bo said.

"Who said we are going to need clothes, and besides I was keeping our bags packed in the trunk of my car". Lauren smiled as she held Bo's hand for her to climb inside the Hummer.

"But...the kids. They need milk and food". Bo said.

"Bo do you honestly think I wasn't prepared for that? They have bottles and bottles of breast milk ready". Lauren smiled.

"But..Lauren". Bo said, and was soon stopped as Lauren lunged for her. The Succubus moaned at that taste of Lauren's kiss.

"Ok. Lets go". Bo smiled when the Doctor pulled back.
