Kenzi

Kenzi stood staring into nothing. At least that what the doors now looked like since she had been standing in the same place for what felt like hours. Cedric had allowed her time, and space to wash herself. She was given a fresh pair of clothes. Not her taste, but she was clean.

She shifted from one foot to the other as the man stared at her. She wished she was given Bruce because she could relate to him. Cedric scares the living shit out of her. He looked young, but his eyes were old. He rarely spoke to her. He'd answer her questions but would only say yes or no. She needed to forget about him. Any minute Bo and Lauren were going to walk through those doors, and the jig would be up. She had so much to tell them, and frankly it scared her.

She had gone over Aife saying she should fear Lauren over, and over again in her mind. She lifted her head and took some much needed deep breaths. She shook her head. Just tell her everything, and she will forgive you, she always does, she thought to herself.


"Lauren! Bo! Welcome home! Queen Isabeau gushed. She opened her arms and hugged the Doctor first. Bo didn't mind. Of course her grandmother would be happy to see the woman that gave her, her life back.

"Hurry mom! I want my hugs too! Aife smiled as she waited for Lauren to pull back from the Succubus.

"Aife! Lauren smiled as the Succubus pulled her into a bear hug. She squeezed her just as hard. This woman is the reason Bo exists. Even though she was raped, that rape produced a warm, and caring woman. Even by Fae standards.

"Bo! Queen Isabeau smiled as she hugged her namesake. Bo gasped when she squeezed her. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry". The Queen said softly as she pulled back.

"I'm fine! Bo smiled as she bowed to the woman to prove it.

Once the women finished their hellos, and looked each other over. Bo was reading their auras, and it did not look good.

"Is something wrong with Charlotte and Chloe? Bo asked as she was about to rush off to them.

"No sweetie. They are fine! Aife said seriously.

"They are happy babies, playing in their royal cribs". Queen Isabeau smiled.

"Then what's wrong? Lauren asked grabbing one of Bo's hands.

"Come with us". Queen Isabeau said as she walked them to her throne room. Lauren hadn't let go of Bo's hand yet, and the young Succubus squeezed it when she noticed.

Bruce bowed when he opened the doors for the women. Bo sighed when she saw Kenzi staring at them.

"What's she doing here? Bo asked.

"Kenzi has something to tell you. The both of you". Aife said seriously.

"Bo". Kenzi whispered. The Succubus looked at her, but didn't say anything.

"We're listening". Lauren said never taking her eyes off of Kenzi either.

Bo squeezed Lauren's hand. This did not look like it was going to be good, and the silence in the room was deafening.

"Do you have to be here? Kenzi asked looking over at Aife and Queen Isabeau.

"We do". Queen Isabeau said as she bumped fists with Aife.

"They're waiting". Aife said pointing to Bo and Lauren.

"What is going on Kenzi? Bo asked.

"Bo listen. I...I made a deal with a devil". Kenzi started and stopped.

Aife laughed out loud. Evony was many things but to call her a devil, was a compliment.

"Mom?! Bo said looking over at the woman.

"I'm sorry. Continue MacKenzie. But understand I will step in when you falter". Aife said turning serious again.

"What did you do now? Lauren asked. Even as a Doctor, her patience was wearing thing. But then again, it always had when it came to Kenzi.

"Bo I...". Kenzi started and stopped again.

"And it reads. The Succubus human has found intel on the missing Dr. Lewis. She will call the Morrigan office and tell us where the Doctor has been hiding. Upon the Doctor's capture, she will have given her human boyfriend a reprieve". Aife said as she turned her attention back to Kenzi.

That's why Dyson lost Lauren, you kept giving away her locations, so she had to keep running, until Evony upped the pressure on you". Queen Isabeau said stepping forward a tad.

"Once Bo found out who Lauren really was and told you, after you left Bo alone in the loft, you called the diner asking for Karen so she would be forced to flee again. That's when Evony sent Crystal in. A poor me story that sucked Lauren in". Aife said holding her mother back. This was Lauren and Bo's moment. They were there to fill in holes Kenzi didn't or wouldn't.

"What the fuck does that mean?! Bo asked as she stepped forward with Lauren matching every step.

Kenzi swallowed hard. The Queen was now sitting on her throne, and Aife was with her. Bruce was off to her left and Curtis was off to her right. Bo and Lauren were mere inches away from her.

"I was missing Lauren and actually went to see her. When I got there Lauren's loft was a wreck. I started looking around and found Lauren's police report. At first I didn't think it was her because of the wig. But before I could actually read the details, Dyson called. He said he had found Bo.

When I left to meet everyone at the Dal, one of Evony's goons was there. He said they would kill Nate unless I did a little job for the office of the Morrigan. They forced me to call a diner, and ask for a Karen. I thought nothing of it, because I never knew the number to the diner Dyson had stashed Lauren at. To save Nate's life, I did it and they let me go since I was Bo's claimed human.

Then when we went to Lauren's to search for the herb, Bo said your real name. I felt like shit realizing what I had done. When I left Bo there, I called the number I had been given to check on Nate, but the number was disconnected. When Dyson said he'd lost Lauren because she was gone from the diner, I realized I had made another mistake, but knew if I told Bo the truth, she wouldn't forgive this as easily as she forgave me for kissing Dyson. So I kept quiet.

Evony approached me at her Dark Fae party thanking me for delivering Karen to them. Then Bo came home devastated saying you had joined the Dark, but Bo wouldn't be going back there until you were ready to come back to all of us. I thought you guys were over for good, and let it go, hoping Evony never called on me again". Kenzi explained. She took a few steps back as the mood in the room had obviously shifted.

"Except Evony was about to call on her again. While you were on your honeymoon". Aife said stepping towards them.

"Did she want our babies!? Lauren snapped angrily.

"I'm not privy to those details but since she's been asking to see them, and for anything remaining of your serum, it sounds quite possible". Queen Isabeau replied as she walked down the small staircase.

"And the rest of my serum? Lauren asked.

"Safely locked away". Queen Isabeau nodded.

Kenzi, Bo, Aife, Bruce, Cedric and Queen Isabeau all jumped when Lauren screamed. It was a sound none of them had ever heard before.

"Lauren! Listen! Kenzi pleaded.

"No I will not listen. But you will listen to me. If you ever come near my kids, any of them, I will surely kill you. I won't give a damn about Isabeau's laws about humans either! Lauren screamed into Kenzi's direction.

"Cedric. Bruce. Guard the twins". Queen Isabeau said as the men bowed and left for their assignments.

Bo's eyes were closed as she grabbed Lauren's hand, and squeezed it again. The room was silent and blue specks soon flared. She shook her head, this wasn't a moment for her Succubus, it was a moment she needed to have. Should have had years ago. She should have been louder about it. Wrote it on liquor bottles so Kenzi would be forced to read it.

"I wanted a normal, family life with Lauren the minute that I was confident that I could sleep with her and not kill her. So I threw out who would want to live with a Succubus and Lauren stepped up to it.

I admit that I wasn't very vocal back then, and didn't quite understand what I felt for Lauren yet, but I always wanted her. You watched Lauren walk away from me over, and over again, and never once encouraged that relationship like you did with my relationship with Dyson.

Lauren died and you saw how I reacted, and still had the nerve to think that Lauren was scheming on me when she came back. You even accused my grandmother and mother. Now I have the woman that I love back, her children, my mother, and grandmother. All immortals. Since you wanted to leave the Fae world after Valhalla, you should leave again and never return! Bo snapped.

"But Bo! Kenzi pleaded.

"Get out! Get out! Get out! Now before I kill you! You've seen my Succubus kill, I will do a lot worse to you! Bo snapped as her eyes flashed blue.

"Bo. You said yourself Evony was protecting her! How was living the Dark so bad?! She had her own lab for fucks sake! Kenzi snapped back.

"The Una Mens were after her, Kenzi. She could have died then too. But thanks to your bumbling, the woman I love thought I didn't love her and chose to stay away from me and why? Because you and Dyson planned it that way! You wanted her away from me! When Dyson told us he lost Lauren. You stood there and said nothing! When we were waiting outside of the Morrigan's office, and I mentioned Dyson looking for her, you said nothing! Nothing about knowing who really had her! Bo snapped as she released Lauren's hand.

"I didn't know Bo! You and Dyson were all over each other. How was I to know you weren't over Lauren?! Kenzi snapped again. If Bo was going to pick away at her faults, she was going to pick back.

"Mother. Grandmother. Can you leave us now? Bo asked turning towards the women.

"Of course, but we will be right outside". Queen Isabeau said as she walked out with Aife close behind her.

When the doors closed, Bo spoke again. "Since the first night after I slept with Lauren, everyone I slept with after that was used in her place. Dyson. Ryan. Rainer. Count them all, or don't. I don't give a damn, but don't you dare stand there and tell me how I felt about her. When history has just shown that Lauren was never included in the family that I thought was mine. Dyson? Oooopps I lost Lauren. I'm sorry Bo. You? Nothing. You haven't even apologized to her for this shit yet, but save it, you will not address my wife at all. But she did say one thing we both totally agree on, if you come near her or my kids, I will kill you. Don't send anyone for them, don't even go near their room. Get out like I told you to! Bo snapped angrily. This is the first time she had ever heard herself talk to Kenzi this way. It was a mix of Bo and her Succubus.

"You heard her. Get out! Lauren snapped. The look in Lauren's eyes didn't look worldly anymore. She didn't even look like Lauren right now. Her blonde hair was blowing in the wind, and there wasn't any wind in the room. Her eyes were flashing in multiple colors.

Bo was in awe of it as well. She had never noticed this in Lauren before, but she understood it. This wasn't like Kenzi forgetting to tell Bo that Lauren called, or vice versa. This was Kenzi going behind all of their backs and putting Lauren in danger. Lauren had never once did that to Kenzi. Which is what separated the two women. Kenzi was ill from eating foot soup, and Lauren didn't hesitate trying to save her life.

Bo shook her head in anger. She had not only been blind to most of it, she openly ignored it too. There was more to Kenzi's hatred of Lauren than not wanting her with Bo. She openly despised the woman. Dyson was a man. Big and strong, so he must have Bo over the Succubus own confessions of loving Lauren to both Dyson and Kenzi.

Obviously saying she loved Lauren to people wasn't enough. They weren't there when she drained the Lich. They had no knowledge of her freeing Nadia, while breaking her own heart. They weren't there when Lauren brought her back in the sex club. They weren't there in Dyson's memories when Bo saw Lauren in Flora. They weren't there when she kissed her and it felt like she was kissing Lauren. They weren't there when she woke her up with a kiss, and wanted to take her right there but couldn't, and why? Because Dyson needed saving again.

He could have waited. Lauren was in her house. Nevermind it was Kenzi's bed. It was only a few steps from Bo's bed, and even then Dyson took priority.

They weren't there when Lauren broke up with Bo again. They didn't watch someone they loved walk away from them after so much pain and loss of her own. Lauren walked away lost again, and Bo was lost without her.

Even when they reconciled there was a piece of Bo still broken. Still wounded. Until Lauren died and chose to come back. She didn't walk back to her, she woke up in her bed, because she loved her. Because Bo had not given up on her just yet. She couldn't go get her. But she came back to her. Her. The woman that had a better choice at a better life, came back to her.

They weren't there the first, second, third and countless times they made love after she returned. Bo couldn't count the tears she cried every time Lauren touched her. Even when she wasn't touching her.

They weren't there when the kids were conceived and Charlotte was born...then Chloe. She had Lauren's children. Not only Bo's but Lauren's children. She had a beautiful, normal family. As far as normal as the Fae world could ever get.

"I can't stay here another moment with her Bo. She's almost as bad as Dagny". Lauren said suddenly.

Bo felt an instant tear in Lauren's heart. It matched her own. Anger. Resentment. For the first time ever, Bo had lost trust in Kenzi and she wasn't sure, she could ever get it back. She couldn't risk waiting around with newborns waiting to see their mothers again.

"You're not leaving without me. Kenzi on the other hand is leaving, now". Bo said grabbing Lauren's hand again.

Kenzi looked at Bo. She didn't dare look at Lauren. She never felt fear until right now. Fear that if Lauren didn't kill her, Bo would. The Bo she had known longer than Lauren. She met her first. She partied with her first. She ate with her first. She was Bo's first friend, and now she didn't feel like a friend to her at all.

She bowed her head and walked towards the doors. She jumped when Aife pulled the door open for her. She bowed her head and followed the red carpet down the long hall to the main doors. She lifted her head and climbed into the Royal Hummer.

"See her home, and bring Dagny here". Bo said as she walked out of the throne room and down the hall to see the twins.

"You heard her". Queen Isabeau said.

"I don't want Kenzi to die at Fae hands. She would only return to Valhalla again. So make sure someone watches her, and makes sure that she doesn't meddle in the Fae world again". Bo said over her shoulder.

"You heard that too". Aife said tapping Bruce on his shoulder.

"Yes Your Highness". Bruce bowed and left for the Hummer.

"And Bruce, see that Kenzi is paid what I owe her, and not a penny more". Queen Isabeau said.

"Yes My Queen". Bruce bowed.

"And me My Queen? Cedric said stepping in front of the woman.

"Check up on this Nate. Find out if he knows about the Fae, or if he's really gone crazy". Queen Isabeau said softly.

"Hell I can play crazy. I will go and check on him myself". Aife laughed as she bowed to the Queen and left.

"Fine. Cedric? Find me this Vex". Queen Isabeau said.

"Yes My Queen". Cedric bowed.

Bo and Lauren walked quietly, hand in hand. They perked up when they entered the twins room.

Valhalla

"Where is Tamsin?! Trick screamed.

"I'm right here". Tamsin said walking up behind the man.

"I have been looking for you for hours. You have a new assignment". Trick groaned.

"Sorry I was hanging out with Ciara. You know, girl talk". Tamsin said quietly.

"You are not here to party, you are here to do as you are told, and right now you have a Fae to collect". Trick snapped.

Tamsin nodded. "Who am I going to get?

"One of the Elders. You are not to try and talk to Dagny, Tamsin. You are to return as soon as you have him". Trick said seriously.

"I get it". Tamsin said as she read a note he handed her. "Damn. I didn't think that old bastard would ever die". She laughed.

"Get going". Trick said as he walked off leaving the Valkyrie.

Tamsin walked off from the Blood King and down a long hall until she found her door. She opened it and screamed when someone jumped on her back.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me! Tamsin screamed.

Bo and Lauren

"Hi babies. Mama's home! Bo cooed as she walked over to the cribs. Charlotte and Chloe were laughing, and kicking.

"Mama's home too! Lauren cooed as she walked up behind Bo.

The mothers bounced with glee as they took turns holding their babies. Bo smiled when she noticed Lauren smiling. It had been a shitty time earlier, and now they had something to smile and laugh about.

"I love you". Bo said quietly.

"I love you too". Lauren smiled as she walked over to Bo. Charlotte and Chloe were bigger, their hair was longer, and they were beautiful.

"They've been fed, and changed". Queen Isabeau said into the intercom.

"Thank you grandmother! Bo smiled.

"Don't mention it". Queen Isabeau smiled.

"Bo...Bo look". Lauren said bouncing Charlotte in her arms. She looked to Chloe and saw the same thing.

"Their upset about something". Bo frowned. The women stared into blue eyes.

"But what? They were happy a few seconds ago. Isabeau said they have been fed, and changed". Lauren said worriedly.

"Don't you ladies move. Grandma's got this". Queen Isabeau said in front of them.

Bo jumped back at her attire. She was in her fighting gear.

"Grandmother? Bo said. The Queen didn't look like herself.

"There is trouble at the Gates of Valhalla". Queen Isabeau said.

"What kind of trouble? Bo asked gently setting Chloe in her crib, and Lauren did the same with Charlotte.

"Dyson. Somehow that bastard has returned". Queen Isabeau replied.

"I'll get him". Lauren said.

"No. You are the reason for his discontent, and I won't be content taking you back there since you've been before. I got this. He should have stayed dead". Bo said. She pulled Lauren to her. She kissed her, squeezed her, and pulled back.

"I will be right back". Bo said kissing their daughters too.

"Bo..". Lauren said.

"I will be right back". Bo said softly.

"We'll take care of this Lauren". Queen Isabeau said.

"No grandmother. You stay here with my wife, and our kids. I will handle this. Besides I am going with backup". Bo said as Bruce approached with Dagny.

"Bo! Dagny smiled.

Bo didn't smile at all. "You want to see your mother? You're about to". She said as her eyes flashed blue.

They piled into the Hummers and sped off towards the Gates of Valhalla.

Valhalla

"Dyson you dumbass". Hale sighed.

"You know he's not coming back here now". Ciara said.

"I know. A new Fedora says Bo kicks his ass in five seconds". Hale said.

"If you lose, you will be sewing me a new dress". Ciara laughed as they shook hands.

"You got it lady". Hale smiled.
