"My Queen, we have a problem". Aife bowed as she stood before her mother.

The Queen sighed "Aife, when don't you have a problem?

"Point taken, mother, but we have a real problem". Aife stepped towards the old Queen.

"What is it? Queen Isabeau asked.

"Kenzi. She's within the Valhalla gates". Aife spoke and waited for the noise she knew was coming.

"What the actual fuck?! The Queen screamed. "How did this happen?

"We were leaving, and that little freak ran in before I could stop her". Aife replied as she finally took a seat.

"Did you try to stop her Aife? The Queen asked.

"Mother she went in there when my back was turned. One of the guards alerted me to what she had done. Dagny was taken to a secure location after we left the gates". Aife explained.

"Okay. Okay. I believe you. Damn it, I don't want to interrupt Bo and Lauren. But they must be told at once. Grab some men and go get them. Bring them all back here". The Queen gestured for Aife to get on it.

The young Succubus left immediately. It was late, but this is important. She has no idea how Bo will react to the news. But they must know, and now. The Queen took a seat and took some deep breaths. Kenzi is on her last nerve. She doesn't want to harm the human, but she needs to learn and stop the bullshit.

Bo and Lauren's

"Hi Charlotte! Hi Chloe! Bo cooed as she bounced the girls in her arms.

"Bo they need to sleep some time tonight". Lauren laughed at her wife. Bo was like a little girl with dolls to play with. She had been that way for hours.

"I will let them sleep soon, I promise". Bo cooed as she kissed both girls on the top of their heads.

"They know you love them, Bo". Lauren smiled at the three dark haired beauties sitting before her. Her life couldn't be more perfect. She had worked for a few hours and walked in on this scene. Bo with their daughters. The Succubus had yet to put in any work of her own, but the Doctor is not complaining. When Bo is ready to work, she will. "I love you, Bo".

"I love you too, gorgeous". Bo winked as she lifted the babies in the air.

Lauren laughed when the twins laughed. She stopped when their doorbell rang.

"I'll get it". Lauren stood and hurried downstairs. She opened the door and was stunned to see Aife standing before her. The Princess is usually clubbing during this time of the night.

"I'd ask to come in, but given we are family, I'll walk right in". Aife spoke as Lauren nodded for her to enter. Aife looked towards the living room and noted the silence. "Is she upstairs?

"Bo? Yes. She is up there playing with the kids". Lauren smiled at the thought.

"Can, can you ask her to come down? Aife asked. She didn't want to go into the nursery with this kind of conversation.

"Sure, Bo? Can you come down? Your mother's here! Lauren yelled up the stairs.

"Be right there". Bo cooed. "Be nice to your little sister". She smiled as she laid Charlotte in Chloe's crib. Freshening up, she walked down to join the ladies.

Lauren stood watching Aife as they waited for Bo. The Succubus looked unsettled. Not that she ever looked relaxed.

"Mom? Is something wrong? Bo rushed into the room. Lauren noted her stance too.

"Mother wants to see all of us. Right now". Aife stared Bo dead in her eyes.

"This can't wait til morning? The mothers asked in unison.

"It can. But the Queen won't". Aife said as she turned towards the doors.

"I'll get the kids". Lauren kissed the side of Bo's head. The Succubus nodded as she stared at her mother. It wasn't late, late. But late enough for their latest catastrophe. Well, everything had been going great. But Aife, this late, is not good.

Aife smiled big when Lauren emerged. "Oooo, let Nana hold these gorgeous dolls".

Lauren nodded and handed them over to her. Bo grabbed a backpack from Lauren and the wives' held hands as they followed the Succubus to one of the Royal Hummers. Bruce helped them all in, and they sped off towards the castle.

Bo and Lauren kept looking at each other the whole ride over. They had no clue what this is about but knew they would be okay.

The women were helped out again and walked up the castle stairs. Once inside, Bruce took the girls to their castle nursery.

"Let's make this quick. We have a home we can sleep in". Bo walked behind Aife. Lauren was just behind Bo, as they rounded the corner and found the Queen.

"I'm sorry, my loves, this could not wait'. The Queen stood and embraced both women.

"It's okay, grandmother, just tell us what this is about". Bo stepped back and reached for Lauren's hand. It wasn't really needed at the time. But it is a new coping mechanism, she'd recently learned about.

"Aife will tell you. Then we will go from there". The Queen spoke.

"Right. Kenzi is within the Valhalla gates". Aife cut right to the chase. This is something not even she can joke about. Even though it's funny as hell. The stupid shit screwed up again.

"How? Bo asked.

"When we were returning from our trip there, the fool ran inside". Aife answered.

"Shit! Bo screamed.

"Language, young lady. Only I can curse within these walls". The Queen spoke softly.

"What are we going to do about this? Lauren asked as she squeezed Bo's hand and pulled her back to her.

"That depends on you." The Queen answered.

"What do you mean us? Bo asked.

"We can let her stay there, or we can go and get her back". The Queen stood.

"Are we sure she's not trying to go see Hale? Lauren asked.

"She can't go into Valhalla. The gates are as far as she can go". The Queen tapped her finger on the table.

"Then how do we get her out? Bo asked.

The Queen looked at Lauren.

"No! No grandmother, not Lauren! Please tell me there is another way! Bo pulled Lauren tight against her.

"You were named Isabeau for a reason. Grow some balls". The Queen snapped.

"Mother! Aife screamed.

"Ladies, please. Calm down". Lauren spoke. Her tone reset the room.

The room was quiet for a few minutes.

"Isabeau, I'm sorry. That was out of line. But you are my namesake and my blood. Worry isn't part of the deal". The Queen opened her arms to Bo and the Succubus accepted the gesture.

"I love her grandmother, I can't lose her. Not even for Kenzi". Bo cried and stopped.

"You are not going to lose her. Lauren is here for good. Just like the rest of us. Besides, there is one thing, we are all overlooking". The Queen rubbed Bo's back and stopped.

"That is? Bo asked.

"We haven't asked Lauren, if she would be willing to do this". The Queen turned back to the doctor.

Bo turned around in the woman's arms. When she started shaking, Lauren had her answer.

"I will do it. For Bo". Lauren spoke softly.

Bo slammed her eyes shut. She didn't want her tears to be a crutch on Lauren's decision.

"I never knew these kinds of affections outside of loving my daughter and mother, but you Doctor. You are wonderful. She will worry if we leave Kenzi as she is. Your babies don't deserve that. You don't deserve that". Aife raised a glass to Lauren. It was empty at the moment but symbolic.

"They are Succubus. They would know something is off in Bo's aura." Lauren rubbed the brunette's back and held her close just once more before she let go.

"A little longer. Please". Bo pulled Lauren back to her. She shook in the blonde's arms again.

"Bo. I will always come back to you. No matter where I go. No matter what I do. I will always come home. To you and our family. I don't know what will happen at the gates, but it won't stop my return to you". Lauren kissed every spot on Bo that she could, at least in front of the Queen and Aife.

"If we are going, let's go now". The Queen snapped her fingers, and the room was stormed with maids and butlers to dress Lauren.

"Is this necessary? Lauren asked.

"You are pregnant, doctor. Yes, it is necessary". The Queen raised her arms and was fitted with her own Royal armor. She wouldn't be cold or harmed. But she was always ready to battle.

Lauren turned back to Bo and kissed her hard. The Succubus growled when the blonde pulled away. Lauren didn't like having to do this. But the Doctor in her kicked in and that part of her values all life. Even if it is Kenzi's that she has once again self-inflicted on herself. She is probably expecting Bo to come to her rescue.

The Queen and doctor left Bo and Aife and walked towards the stairs. Cedric was in the driver's seat and drove the women to the gates.

"I must commend you Doctor. Anyone else would leave that fool to her own misery". The Queen stared across the vehicle at the doctor.

"Kenzi used to be Bo's human. She wanted to be the only human in Bo's life. She probably thought being Bo's claim gave her that right. Bo's my wife now. My own claim. It's not about what Bo can do for me. It's about what we can do for each other. Part of that is making sure we are both mentally and physically well. Bo will never rest knowing Kenzi is in danger. Should she let go? That's up to her but the human parts of Bo, like the doctor in me, values human life. I don't have two words for Kenzi that wouldn't start an instant argument. But her antics have hurt my wife. Possibly my family, that is why I am doing this." Lauren stared the woman dead in her eyes.

The Queen nodded and instructed Cedric to speed up.

Bo and Aife

"Damn that Kenzi! Why did she do this? Dumb, dumb, dumb! Bo screamed.

"Isabeau! Calm down. Or do you want to scare your daughters!? Aife screamed.

"But it's Lauren! She's away from me, again. Plus, she's away from our girls this time! Bo violently paced back and forth in hysterics. Then she started mumbling incoherently and Aife shook her head.

"I'm sorry baby. There's no other way". Aife spoke as she walked towards Bo.

Valhalla gates

"Super-sized shit". Kenzi paced back and forth. She couldn't go further inside, and it was starting to piss her off.

"Dumb girl. Did she really think a little human like her could penetrate the gates of Valhalla? Stacey laughed.

Valhalla

"What the hell has Kenzi done? Hale shook his head. He, Tamsin and Ciara were stuck watching the scene unfold just inside the doors of Valhalla.

"Sorry dude, I know you love her. But there is nothing you can do for her". Tamsin was sympathetic to Hale. Her daughter is out there too. They are both making big mistakes that could cost them their lives. They would only see Kenzi if she died at Fae hands, but the Queen has laws against that.

"Girl needs to grow up. She gave away my twig of Zamora. That's the crazy stuff, Kenzi does. I can't help her, but I can hold out hope that one day she will finally grow up. Bo has a legit family now. Not blood sisters. A real blood family and a wife. All the things Kenzi could have had, had she…". Hale sighed and turned to walk away.

Tamsin watched him go. She felt bad for the Siren. He might've still been alive had he not given up his Twig to protect Kenzi.

"Tamsin, you have work to do". Trick called over the loudspeaker.

"Not a single day off". Tamsin huffed as she walked away. Kenzi raised her, she will always be grateful for that, but her antics nearly sent Dagny to be with her mother. It's too soon for that. Far too soon. She is tired of being in Trick's bad graces, but her daughter is always worth it.

Gates

Kenzi stopped her rumblings when she heard an engine that she had heard before. "Bo". She spoke and smiled.

"Not exactly". The Queen stepped out of the hummer with Cedric's help.

"What are you doing here? Nevermind, since you are here. Get me out of here, would ya? Kenzi asked.

"You've got stones girl. But I can't". The Queen laughed.

"This isn't funny! Kenzi snapped.

"Yes it is. It is funny and rich with irony. I control the gates. They are my territory, only I can't enter them. Little detail I worked out with Trick. The funny part is you need the help of the person you hate the most". The Queen replied.

"No. Not her! Kenzi yanked at her wig and pulled it off, exposing her natural hair.

"Yes, her. She's the closest thing to a Fae/human in the territory. She's the only one that has graciously stepped forward to help you. But I will let her tell you why. Dr. Lewis? The Queen called.

Lauren extended one hand to Cedric, and he took it. Within a few seconds, the blonde stood next to the Queen. Kenzi seethed. Her life in Lauren's hands. She may as well slit her throat. Had she betrayed Bo and Lauren? Yes, but Lauren left Bo. Had she not, none of what Kenzi had done with the Morrigan would have been necessary.

The Queen whispered in Lauren's ear and the doctor nodded in response. Kenzi froze when Lauren walked towards her.

"This isn't for you, Kenzi. It is for my wife and my family. She will never rest as long as you do stupid stuff like this. We both know you are only doing these things to get her attention but now you have gotten my attention. I'm married with Bo's baby growing inside of me. It is a love you will never understand. One you would never accept. Especially if Dyson was still alive. I am Bo's hero. Her champion. The one person that would go to the ends of the earth and back for her. I wasn't going to speak to you at all. But I didn't want you assuming I am doing this out of the kindness of my heart. No. I am doing this out of the kindness of Bo's heart. No matter what she thinks of you or what you think of me, we are closer than we have ever been. You will not disturb my family once I let you out of here. That extends to the Queen and Aife." Lauren spoke softly yet bitterly.

"Lauren you are such a b….".

"Finish that word, and I'll drop you where you stand! The Queen screamed. The sound of her voice shook the ground like an earthquake.

"And you're sure that's all I have to do my Queen? Lauren asked.

"No need for formality but yes, that is all you need to do Lauren". The Queen walked step for step with Lauren until they reached the gates.

Lauren stepped forward and touched one of the doors. It lit up in her hand and she pulled it open. Kenzi didn't waste a minute running out of there. Lauren rolled her eyes and turned back towards the hummer. Cedric helped her and the Queen in. They sped off leaving Kenzi splattered with dirt, rocks and dust.

Kenzi looked around. Everyone was gone. Stacey. The Hummer. There was nothing for her to see except a long, dark road. She bowed her head and followed the direction that the Hummer went in. Otherwise, she'd be lost on how to get back to normal civilization. It was dumb luck that led her to the gates to begin with. She looked up and took a deep breath. She had a long night and walk ahead of her.

Queen Isabeau's castle

Lauren and the Queen sighed in relief to be home. Lauren was grateful she didn't have to go to extremes to free Kenzi, and the Queen was happy to be away from the young woman.

The Queen went to meet privately with Cedric and Bruce while Lauren climbed the stairs to her wife and babies. She rounded the corner and gasped.

"What happened? Lauren asked as she rushed over to Bo.

"Sorry, doll. But your wife was in hysterics and wouldn't calm down. I had to go to extremes. That's the simplest form of extreme that I know of". Aife explained

"It looks like it hurts". Lauren gasped again.

"I was quick about it. She didn't feel a thing". Aife laughed. It wasn't funny but Bo was losing it. She had to do something. She made the biggest fist she could and knocked Bo out.

"That's a nasty bruise. She will be upset when she wakes up". Lauren gently rubbed Bo's jaw. There was a baseball sized gash on it.

"You know you can heal that". Aife winked.

Lauren blushed and rolled her eyes. "Our kids don't need to see her like this. It would frighten them".

"Then heal her, doctor". Aife laughed.

"I don't want to see that". The Queen stepped inside, holding the twins.

"Hello babies! Lauren stood and kissed them.

"We'll take care of them. You just take care of your biggest baby". The Queen handed Chloe to Aife, and they walked out the room.

"Got em? Aife asked.

"Got em". The Queen replied as they put tiny sunglasses on the twins.

"Let the fireworks commence". Aife laughed as they walked down the long hall and down the stairs. They are positive that Bo and Lauren are going to be louder than they have ever been. The soundproof walls might even take a beating or two.

"Bo". Lauren gently took the Succubus head in hands.

Bo grumbled and turned her head from side to side.

"Bo? Lauren called out again.

The Succubus had passed out again. Lauren leaned in and kissed her, full on the lips. Bo's eyes shot open blue as she looked at the doctor. Blond hair was flowing all around Lauren's head. Bo moaned when Lauren deepened the kiss. The room was brighter than the sun on the hottest day. Lauren's body started to glow too. Thinking of the baby, Bo reluctantly broke the kiss.

"We can't, Lauren. The baby". Bo whispered.

"Yes, we can". Lauren lunged at Bo again. She pulled back just once more and noticed the bruise was gone. Looking at her beautiful wife again, she leaned in, and Bo gently rolled Lauren on her back. Once they were naked, both of their bodies looked like fire as Lauren controlled their kiss again.

"Damn. We need sunglasses too". Aife laughed at the light show Bo and Lauren were putting on.

"Lauren will have new powers by morning, thanks to that trip to the Valhalla gates. It's good that she's here. We can explain them all". The Queen laughed as the four of them looked like they were at a 3-D movie.

"With what she will be able to do with her fingers, Bo will love them for sure". Aife laughed as the Queen put a hand up to stop her from going into details.
