Kendra never laughed so hard in her life. She just expected Liv to just give her cliff notes version of Kennie, but THAT Kendra was a whole lot more fun and quirky. The stories only further reinforced it.

Oddly enough, that Kendra had the same direct and sharp personality as she did, but Kennie was a lot more spontaneous and lived the moment. She never went into law enforcement and was actually a great trial lawyer. In that universe, Kennie never lost her brother and she did marry Eric. Her life was free of the trauma Kendra experienced.

As such, Kendra mused that Kennie believed the world was naturally good and volunteered where she could to help her fellow person.

Kendra found it refreshing to see her life vicariously through Liv if these bad things never happened to her. On the other hand, Liv noted how decisive, unbreakable, and laser focused Kendra was as compared to Kennie.

To Liv, Kendra was fit for Fringe since Olivia already gave her Kendra's file.

Liv laughed, "Damn so YOU gave up being a lawyer to work in SWAT? Olivia gave me your records and wow. I could use another partner ya' know."

Kendra was flattered, "Yea but too much obligations here. Besides, I'm pretty messed up too."

Liv nudged her, "No you're not. You did what you had to do, just like Kennie."

Kendra did have a question, "If Kennie was never in law enforcement, then why is she so good at MMA like you claim?"

"Mia Tate of course. She's a major in the Army now and like in yours here the MMA champion in my universe. You guys met through me and have been in separable. She IS you best friend right?" Liv asked with caution.

Kendra held in a laugh, "If you asked me a couple weeks ago, I would have said no, but yes she is a friend."

Liv just gave a word of advice, "Kendra, the Mia here seems to be the same good hearted, smart and strong person and even after parsing her file for this world, on top of that, you are even in the same field. It is the more reason you 2 should be closer."

Kendra knew she was getting at something with a confused look, "Liv? Please level with me. In your world how were Kennie and Mia related?"

Liv pulled out her smart phone and flicked her index finger across the screen for a minute.

The wait was killing Kendra. She was genuinely curious.

Liv then turned her phone around to show Kendra.

To say she was shocked was an understatement. Kendra just didn't have the words. Right there, in front of her was a wedding photo of just the both of them.

Kendra stammered out finally, "Wait you told me Eric and I were married."

"Mia and you married later. Yes Eric courted Kennie for a long time and did get married, but Kennie caught him cheating with another member of this SWAT team. He was sleeping with Kennie while shagging her, Jenny, on assignments," Liv factually noted until she noted hurt and Kendra's eyes. Oddly enough, she took this personally.

Liv knew how hard it was to separate events of this world from the next and put her hand on top of Kendra's, "He is DIFFERENT in my universe ok? The circumstances are different. He isn't the Eric you know, so don't let this mar your perception of him."

Kendra nodded and realized that what Liv said was true since in that world Kendra never joined his team. This Jenny must have taken her place.

She tried to smile once more.

Kendra then thought of something devious, "Liv, can I get a copy of your photos you have of Kennie and Mia?"

As the pictures were transferring to her phone she murmured to Liv, "Please tell Mia in your world that I am so sorry for her loss and that I know how much they meant to each other."

This did leave Kendra in a quandary. Kendra never was really into women but Mia was probably so special in both worlds that she'd make an exception.

Kendra needed more time to think. What was Mia to her? If Mia found another, would she get jealous even if she was with Dyson?

Before she could think any farther Liv put her hand on top of Kendra's forearm and mentioned firmly, "You can do more than give my Mia your sympathies. I don't know your current relationship status, but at the very least promise me you will remain her friend and be there for her. That would give my Mia comfort in knowing that you 2 are doing just fine here."

"OK," Kendra agreed continuing to chat away as good friends do.

Kenzi and Bo scampered into the same room as everyone gathered to see what Peter Bishop had come up with concerning the video feeds.

Peter pulled the grainy restored camera footage onto the big screen and noted to all, "Astrid and I were able to restore several of the images from the camera system and this is what we have. This is the work of a lone person."

Mia looked confused, "ONE person took out a whole Fae compound?"

"And it was accomplished by a HUMAN," Walter noted in the back.

"Not possible, unless it was in insider job," Alex spoke up.

"And this guy has no weapons that I can see," Drake noted as well. "Do we have a clearer image on the face so we can run it through CODIS?"

Astrid clarified, "The images almost irretrievable since the person that did this exhibited high levels of both radiation and EMI. This is as good as we get."

"The EM literally fried the CCTV feeds and for those that it didn't, the images are like these," Peter noted.

"That was accomplished with a device in his backpack," Olivia noted pointing to several grainy images of a man wearing a back pack. "The reason why we got images at all is because one of his battery cells was almost fully discharged and he hid around the corner out of view of any CCTV cameras to fix it."

Walter stepped forward with a large 6 inch square pack dropped it on the table, "THIS is what he left behind and knowing that is was probably fully changed before he began the attack, told us that in order to discharge this in a couple minutes could only be from a device emitting an EM pulse continuously."

Peter stepped forwards and put up a finger print on the screen, "The lone attacker DIDN'T use gloves it seems when he changed the battery. I don't think if meant to leave it behind but he came under fire and had to leave it behind."

Walter spoke up, "The oils from his hands gave us several usable prints that Olivia ran thought the criminal databases."

"This," Olivia pulled up a driver's license picture, "is who we believe it is. His build matches that of the person was in our feeds."

Tamsin, Kenzi, Bo simultaneously said, "Massimo!"

Tamsin then asked, "WAIT, Massimo is a HUMAN?"

"Yes," Walter noted.

In the back of the room a woman's voice concurred, "I just tested it as well, the oil secretions from the fingerprint have a 99.983 percent chance of being a human. So Massimo is a human. I have also cross referenced his DNA with Fae databases and it is 86.452 percent chance he is the progeny of Evony."

Walter thought of something, "Oh where are my manners, THIS is the esteemed Doctor Lauren Lewis. I was working with her remotely as well since Drake was nice enough to give me her contract information."

Tamsin was floored, "EVONY, as the in Morrigan?"

Evony then sauntered into the room proudly and announced, "It's my portal, I can cry if I want to. In this case, since the doctor needed it, I decided to step through as well. So WHY is my name being used in vain?"

Bo just stepped forward upset pointing to the image on the screen, "This is YOUR son?"

"Massimo wasn't the sharpest blade in the drawer, well I don't even consider him a blade of any kind, BUT he MAY be my son from a fling I had with a weak pathetic human," Evony looked annoyed.

"WHERE is he," Bo demanded getting in her face.

Evony just push Bo away and turned, "I wish I knew. But he does his own thing. I just did him a favor and give him a role in the Fae world but apparently he is nothing but trouble, like a succubus I know."

Tamsin was pissed and without out much of the thrall in place blocked Evony from walking away. She growled, "You BROKE the cardinal law that humans needs to have an owner! You BIGOT!"

Evony just took it in stride and smirked, "You MAKE the rules if you're Morrigan. Do as I say, not as I do and all the jazz."

Kenzi was pissed and grabbed Evony by the collar and threw her against a wall, "You fucking got HALE, my fiancé killed!"

Everyone froze.

Evony took her finger and was about to point at Kenzi and Tamsin grabbed her arm and poured on the doubt full steam with dark circles forming under her eyes, "You DON'T want to do that!"

Tamsin has no idea she was this powerful as Evony screamed like she saw a horrific ghost. She cowered before the Valkyrie.

Bo could see Evony break and finally put her hand on Tamsin's shoulder and calmly told Tamsin, "Please Tamsin. Enough."

Tamsin was in full kill mode and waited from Evony to make another move so that she could be in the right to dispatch her but not after she interrogated her Valkyrie style.

Bo's light touch and her angelic voice reached out to Tamsin with her conscience kicking in quickly as well as her love for Bo. She'd do anything for her and by the tone of Bo's voice, she knew she was in the wrong.

Tamsin shoved Evony away still angry, but Bo just saved her life.

Evony spat out to Bo straightening up, "That's right, muzzle that bitch and whore of yours!"

Before Tamsin knew it her anger flared and she delivered a hard back handed slap with lots of knuckle to Evony's face knocking her back several feet and to the ground.

Oliva and Drake blocked Tamsin's move forward.

Tamsin immediately felt regret. She didn't want to tarnish the image Bo had of her. Her anger was just unexpected. Lifting all aspect of the thrall had its disadvantages.

Mia just replied, "Hey! Stop it. All of you!"

Bo felt Tamsin's regret and even through her steely green eyes, knew how much she regretted it.

Bo did feel that what Evony got was deserved to an extent and stepped forward patting Tamsin on the back, "Nice one. Next time aim it for the nose, she needs a nose job anyway."

Tamsin huffed out a laugh at Bo's humor. It took her off guard glowing with glee, "OK. Maybe next time."

'I'll take it from here ok?' Bo communicated with the link.

'Sure. '

Bo pulled Evony up and then asked, "WHY is Massimo so ticked at us where he has to murder our Ash?"

Evony replied holding her cheek, "He mentioned something about losing profit and that Hale was funding the terrorist Kendra. I ignore most of his ramblings."

Mia finally put things together, "Is Massimo in dealing, moving, or selling drugs?"

"I think so, but I'm not sure. He only runs to me when he messes up big," Evony replied.

Mia pulled out her phone and texted her godfather.

'Dad, please be honest with me. Were you mules for Massimo until you got shut down by Kendra and team?'

Bo then asked again, "Tell us where he is. He needs to be brought to justice."

"I wish I could tell you, but to be blunt, I don't know. He floats in and out of my life, and I could care less about a human. Too bad he is related to me somehow," Evony mentioned with aloof expression.

Tamsin just growled, "So if I ask you WITH my powers, what will you say?"

"Darling, don't threaten me. You don't scare me, none of you do…"

Tamsin stepped forward and Evony immediately stepped back in retreat. "I TOLD YOU that I don't know!"

There was silence in the room until Lauren stepped forward and took a look at Evony's face which now had a cut which was bleeding a little.

"Evony, let's get you patched up ok?" Lauren offered and guided her out of the room.

Mia's phone chirped and she glanced at it:

'I can't say.'

Mia read into this a little and asked, 'Would you tell me if I got it wrong?'

'If you were barking up the wrong tree, yes.'

Mia then concluded she got it right and before she could open up her mouth, Kendra walked in the room with 2 Fae who were dressed as Federal Marshals. Vex and Liv stayed back.

Needless to say Mia was nervous since these were people that she had never seen before with the exception of Kendra.

Kendra stopped short and then said, "Remember when you told me about finding more information about your real birth parents?"

Mia cocked her head to the side and suspiciously answered, "Yes, a couple days ago."

"Well do you have a moment? Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles have positively ID'd you and have the information about your circumstances," Kendra smiled.

Mia then asked glancing at Vex and the 2 other Federal Marshals, "Who are they?"

Kendra just relayed, "They are here to protect you. Jane insisted."

"Ummmmmm ok." She mentioned walking with Kendra and the Marshals led by Vex in behind them.

Kendra felt how nervous Mia was and took her hand but even then she hesitated.

"Do you trust me because I am in your corner you know that right?" Kendra whispered.

"Uh huh," Mia froze in the hall.

This was bad, Kendra brooded and so she ordered the Marshals to go ahead to the library while they talked.

After they were all gone, Kendra turned to Mia who was still a little on edge.

"Talk to me," Kendra smirked stroking her arm.

Mia looked down, "I don't want to know if I want to know. I want the closure, but at the same time I don't. Federal Marshals are for witness protection. Were my parents witness to something?"

"I don't know, but I told Jane that I was going to be there for you in case you need a friend. Also if things get rough, we can shoot our way out. You DO trust me right?" Kendra smirked playfully.

Mia smiled back and knew Kendra was being on the level but wanted to toy with her. She didn't know why but she began to kiss her cheek.

"Wha… what you are doing?" Kendra stammered out.

"Testing you allegiance. You were after all my enemy a couple weeks ago," Mia snickered between kisses.

Kendra didn't know why her body was responding rubbing against Mia and wanting more.

Kendra finally kissed Mia back.

"You'd betray me with a kiss?" Mia joked.

Kendra chuckled but kissed her again, "No. I'd arrest you with another partner or do your move. Take you out via sniper rifle from a distance."

"Why not tell me to my face alone?" Mia's hand began to undo Kendra's body armor.

Kendra just replied not being able to lie when Mia slipped her hand underneath her armor and stroked her bare tummy. "Tooo dangerous. I…. I'm may not be as good as you in BJJ. I've.. seen you in action on the ground in recorded tournaments …. You… are are too dangerous to take out alone… in close quarters"

Mia loved getting the honest replies and asked, "What if it was too late and we were face to face, what then?" Mia found the clasp to her bra and undid it in the front slowly pulled back the curtain to the big reveal.

"Ugggggg," Kendra tried to separate unsuccessfully since she was losing her mind, "I'd take you out via short range weapons…. Probably a backup weapon to take.. take you off guard."

Mia thought that was really creative with the backup weapon but pushed her up against the wall and avoiding her gun belt since it was not attached to her pants, popped the button on her pants and unzipped it. "I like your police gear on top of your hiking gear."

"nnnnaaaa… not enough time to change…. NOT here! Please!" Kendra mewed out feeling Mia's fingers feather her sex through her panties.

Mia bit Kendra's ear lobe, "Your mine remember? And need to trust you. The body never lies."

"Ahhhhhh," Kendra muffled out gritting her teeth as Mia played with her firm tips her and the other hand played with her sex, albeit thinly clothed.

"Are you into girls?" Mia jeered pulling Kendra AR off her shoulder and letting it clack to the ground.

"N… naaaaa.. no!" Kendra shook her head vehemently to try to snap out of lust filled craze and answer Mia questions at the same time.

"Are you into Bo?" Mia soothed in a sultry voice wagging her finger back on forth on her clothed nub.

"Noooo…. But she taught me how to seduce you… in order to… to make up for the past!...please stop Mia… please!" Kendra begged. She was still fully clothed but Mia's hands were way too talented.

"Oh. That's the devious Kendra I know. Are you into me then and can I even trust you?" Mia finally asked pulled her panties aside stroking her not wet slit.

Kendra had enough being lost in lust and Mia was questioning her intentions but needed some confirmation that she could be trusted 100 percent. Nothing that Kendra could say would really help.

In a last ditch effort Kendra grabbed Mia's collar and yanked her in close to see eye to eye.

Mia gazed into her soul and knew she wanted to prove she was worthy but how?

Kendra slid her hand on top of Mia's in her pants and slowly curled Mia's index finger along with hers pushing open her temple doors open but not going in.

Mia tried in vain to pull her hand back but Kendra held her hand in place strong.

Mia then broke eye contact but there was nowhere else to look except into Kendra's deep expressive eyes.

Kendra began to apply pressure to Mia's hand and index finger in an attempt to pull it into her temple a little bit. She was committing to give something to Mia that she held near and dear to her heart. This was for Dyson and this meant she would cheat on him.

Mia shook her head and tried to untangle herself from Kendra but couldn't without doing a take down move.

"No… No Kendra…. Don't "

Mia found that Kendra was too strong in this position. Mia knew Kendra was going to give her something that was definitely not hers but Dyson's. Kendra's face was one of total commitment to give this to her. It was then she observed Kendra's face contort with flashes pain and guilt.

Kendra became aware that the implications of her actions were catching up with her conscience and began to pull harder before she backed down. Mia was resisting with all her might.

Mia knew she had to do what it took to stop this. If Kendra gave that last vestige of herself up which was Dyson's, not only will it rock Kendra's and Dyson's relationship, it might come back and ruin theirs.

In a final desperate effort, Mia yanked back then skillfully swept Kendra onto the ground but made sure that she landed softly. This also allowed Mia to pull her hand out of Kendra's pants and have the dominant position on top.

Kendra locked her legs around Mia to get her into a control position and froze still full of lust. She then tested her theory that Mia could read lips and mouthed, 'Mia. Can you read lips?'

Mia was amazed and stunned that Kendra knew she had that ability, but as Talan mentioned about her, she was an owl which could see things that normal people couldn't.

Kendra put her index finger playfully on Mia lips as Mia nodded.

'Freeze patrols in this hall for 10 minutes?' Kendra mouthed with a mischievous grin loosening her vest.

Mia wondered why until Kendra in a surprise move roll on top and her and peeled her vest off. Mia hesitated since Kendra was not that type of girl. She was more private about her affairs.

It all melted away when Mia jaw dropped and Kendra, exuding and contorting like a stripper teased her shirt off but covering her breast and her bra was already open.

Mia cleared her throat and pushed transmit on her ear piece, "All teams freeze patrols for the northwest side corridor for 10 minutes."

Kendra played with her nipples waiting the response she knew Mia was crumbling.

The radio in Mia's ear and Kendra's vest mounted mic blared from Alex, "Is everything ok?"

Kendra just smirked and kissed Mia on the cheek further distracting her.

Mia then hit the transmit button one more time and tried to keep an even voice with Kendra kissing her and slipping a hand down the front of her pants.

"Yea, just having a private conversation with Kendra….. AHHHHHHHHHHH FUCK!" Mia yelped when Kendra's fingers circled in engorged nub through her sex. Lucky for her she let go the transmit button before she told everyone on site that Kendra was taking her.

"Copy" the radios returned but then there was a follow up question which took them both off guard, "Do you need me to halt all traffic to the area in addition and do you need more time than that?"

Kendra snickered as she slowly pulling Mia's MP5 off of her. Alex could read between the lines and Mia was a zombie with both of her hands now cupping her pert breasts. As such she decided to respond with her radio.

"Alex, halt all traffic for 10 per direction of Captain Tate."

"Yes Ma'am"

Kendra finally just mouthed to Mia, 'No more words ok?'

Mia nodded sliding Kendra bra off of her. God she LOVED her tight toned body. It drove her crazy that Kendra was doing this in full light and could see all of her. Her scars made her to die for. Kendra was a battle hardened cop and the scars showed beauty instead.

Kendra removed Mia's Glock and set it off to the side silently. Followed by her baton, backup, then her stun gun.

Mia did the same to Kendra pulling out her Glock and even unloading it. She reached between Kendra's boots and found two daggers and slid those out and off to the side. She pulled her backup weapon on her lower back, her cuffs, then several Glock magazines on her belt. Lucky for her, most of her hardware for her AR was in her vest which was already off.

Kendra through this transitioned to the most vulnerable part of herself admitting things she wouldn't ever fathom to Mia and mouthed, 'I'm not into women but I AM into YOU. I fucked you over before but I'll give you EVERYTHING I have. Not out of GUILT but because I care about you. More than I want to admit.'

Mia read her just fine and saw Kendra bleed her soul out to her. 100 percent honest and committed to watching her back. Kendra was saying she was more than a friend and that meant a lot but what really got her heart racing was the fact the Kendra was willing to give her the one item she was saving for Dyson.

Mia then over exaggerated and silently annunciated to Kendra hoping she'd get it while slipping off Kendra boots, 'I sorry.'

Kendra nodded told her bluntly but forcefully in silence, 'Don't make a habit out of it.'

It was then Mia locked her gaze on a Grey Dire wolf, Dyson, who was prancing over to them.

Kendra heard him and pet him when he sat down in front of her even with Mia disengaging from Kendra and pulling Kendra's pants and underwear off.

Mia pause stripping Kendra for a moment to ensure that Dyson didn't try to kill her for knocking over his life mate.

"Hey Dyson, can I have this time with Mia? Please," Kendra requested in the softest voice.

Dyson nodded.

"Can you watch our six on your library side and stall if any one comes out to look for us," Mia whispered into Dyson's ear.

Dyson nodded once more and nuzzled Kendra cheek to cheek and left.

Dyson knew deep down that Kendra was still his by the fact Kendra asked him to have time with Mia.

Was he hurt that Mia was getting a part of his life mate? Yes and no.

Yes Dyson wanted Kendra all to himself, but he made that mistake with Bo and lost her. Kendra, he could tell, was still all his by peering into her heart. Despite the fact he was a dire wolf, he also needed her to be happy and in his present form and couldn't meet all her needs.

Dyson also acutely remembered that it was Mia that saved his life and Kendra's in the woods with the Aswangs so for that he was grateful and owed her something he would never repay.

He walked away then paused to look back. Kendra was unbuttoning Mia's uniform shirt then sucking her revealed flesh and at times giving her a hickie.

Kendra made sure to clap her hand over Mia's mouth to keep her silent.

Mia just rolled with it and Kendra yanked off her sports bra tossed it aside and shimmied Mia's pants and thong off along with her boots.

Both women were naked going at each other slowly and purposefully, lost in the here and now in the hallway.

Mia had rolled back on top of Kendra gracefully.

Kendra reached the stars first but knew she'd scream.

Knowing this, Kendra grabbed Mia's rubberized ultra light combat knife and dagger and bit down the handle right as she fell into wanton bliss with Mia circling and smacking her nub.

Kendra was coming down when Mia sucked and pulled her ultra sensitive tips. That brought her to a second high.

When Kendra finally came down to earth, she spat out the knife exhausted and mouthed to Mia, 'Jeez, I don't even want to know HOW you knew I had a second wind. THAT was for Dyson when I perform a strip tease for him tonight. You've been naughty Mia and I'm gonna get you a WHOLE bag of charcoal for being on the VERY naughty girl list the holiday season.'

Mia glowed at the compliment Kendra noticed and it was the brightest smile she had ever seen.

Kendra then gracefully, but carefully rolled back on top of Mia and warned silently, 'Thanks Mia for keeping it for Dyson, but YOU. I can fuck you brains out.'

Mia knew she was in trouble when Kendra went on the offensive with Kendra's dagger hilt working Mia's folds apart.

'Come for me Captain Tate.'

Mia grabbed Kendra's other dagger and bit down on the handle trying to stop herself from yelling.

'Come for your arch nemesis.'

Mia was close but needed to back down so she didn't make a peep. She didn't want her team to know.

'Come because you only have 2 minutes left.'

Mia immediately tried to escape to back down but Kendra held her strong. Kendra did have good ground skill as well.

'I mean NOW Captain.'

Mia read it and obeyed. The chance of getting caught made her shrill but Kendra clapped her hand over her mouth to stop her from yelling.

Finally Kendra yanked the knife away from being crushed in Mia's jaw and kissed her deeply.

Mia just she convulsing in licentious and lustful abandonment yelling bloody murder into Kendra's mouth.

Finally when Mia came back down, they quickly both broke apart and collected her clothes to get dressed once more.

Kendra holstered her magazines and finally asked Mia aloud, "Are we ok with each other now?"

Mia smirked and had a hop in her step grabbing Kendra's hand once more like a giddy school girl. "Yes. I love you.'

"I know," Kendra replied.

Dyson finally came back and just whined and nudged Kendra and backed up playfully to follow him.

Kendra and Mia made themselves look presentable again picking up their AR and MP5 respectively.

Mia now knew were they stood with each other. They were more than friends and maybe even more than friends with benefits.

They were silent walking to the door of the study, but before Mia entered the study Kendra mouthed the following to Mia so Dyson wouldn't hear.

'Dyson's place tonight. Since you took what was Dyson's you sleep next to Dyson naked with me on the other side. His hormones are still there, trust me, and he may have the leave to go out for the call of the wild.'

Mia's face turned red and she nodded.

When in a dire wolf from, both knew that wolves had to release their pent up desires.

Kendra snickered and knew how much fun this new found talent Mia had would be. She could egg Mia on and tease her the whole day and no one would know the better, unless of course someone peripheral to them knew how to read lips too.

Lauren was performing a sonogram on Tamsin and Bo was anxiously standing over her.

Tamsin didn't know who was more nervous Bo or her. She knew Bo was nervous with her cold hands trembling ever to slightly on holding hers. Bo was also latched on to her hand really hard.

Tamsin adored Bo. Her genuine concern, her love, it was all there for everyone to see. Before Tamsin would have shied away from PDA, but now, she loved the fact that Bo was proud to be hitched to a Dark Valkyrie.

"Is everything ok?" Bo asked not being able to deal with the fact that Lauren took so long to get results.

"Yes. Just give me a minute," Lauren punch in a couple measurement into the computer.

"Emmm Bo. I'm losing circulation on my hand?" Tamsin teased.

Bo immediately let her grip loosen and transitioned to kissing Tamsin's hand, "Oh I'm sorry Tammy."

Tamsin decided to use a move Bo was good at and she pouted and said, "It still hurts."

Bo turned and melted. She never saw Tamsin pout before and she hugged her and murmured, "I'm so sorry, I'm just a little nervous."

Tamsin innocently and pointed to her lips, "Maybe a kiss here may make me feel better? MAY."

Bo just obliged and there they kissed a little tentative at first, but then it deepened.

Bo and Tamsin lost track of time with Lauren just ignoring them and clicking away and taking more readings while she adjusted the angle of the sonogram wand on Tamsin's tummy.

'I love you Bo.'

'I love you too Tammy.'

'Are you scared Bo?'

'Yea,' Bo admitted hesitantly.

'So am I but we'll get through this together,' Tamsin reassured over the link.

'I wouldn't want it any other way and I'm sorry about my lapse in judgment earlier,' Bo used the link while she kept kissing Tamsin deeply.

'No need. That's the meaning of unconditional love. And since we are sharing, can I read your diary?'

'Sure,' Bo shrugged since the diary in her top drawer was more abridged and a decoy.

Tamsin LOVED this. She just duped Bo into allowing her access and when Bo finds out it was her real one that she read, it would be too late.

Bo then stopped abruptly switching gears back to the issue at hand and pulled back saying aloud, "Fate will follow us wherever we go Tamsin. It will chase us down to the ends of the earth."

Tamsin then took Bo's hand once more and proclaimed, "Then follow me to the ends of the universe and beyond."

"Oh Tammy," Bo smirked knowing that Tamsin was a hopeless romantic now and pecked her on the cheek. She could not help it and jeered, "You just didn't say that to get in my clothes did you?"

"Whatever," Tamsin huffed out a laugh breaking eye contact. "Anyone can get into your clothes succubus, even the doc."

Lauren cleared her throat to alert the couple that she was ready but to also save herself from becoming part of a bet which would result in an orgy of some kind. She knew Tamsin well enough that if Bo dared her, they execute to prove a point. Tamsin and Bo were that competitive.

Bo and Tamsin both turned to Lauren, and Lauren began pointing to the images of the baby.

"From my tests, it's a healthy girl that is 2 months old. The DNA contained in the placental fluid shows attributes primarily of a Valkyrie but she has succubus genome as well even thought it may not be expressed at this time. As such the fetus has experienced accelerated growth like most Valkyries and is 2 months old. I said WAS because her growth has halted," Lauren began but before she got a barrage of questions, put her hand up to stop them.

Lauren took a deep breath and continued, "The reason why I know this is because the level of growth hormones present is the same level as that of an adult. That means to say the she is maintaining her current form and developing at an extremely slow rate."

Tamsin shot up and got worried and interjected, "What's wrong! Did I … do something …."

Bo hugged her and just comforted, "No Tammy. No. You are just fine." Bo looked to the doctor for the save.

"Tamsin, NOTHING is wrong with you and nor are you doing anything wrong from a medical view. There are no historical references or precedent pertaining to Valkyrie pregnancies, but that in no way means that it can't happen. Your body is responding that way it should. I do have a theory however," Lauren looked up and thought about it more.

Tamsin bear hugged Bo.

Bo knew how scared of the unknown Tamsin was and just kissed her forehead.

Lauren finally spoke after a long couple seconds of agonizing silence.

"A Valkyrie is a warrior. The gods created you around that single purpose. You were however given the body of a female and no matter how much the gods tweak you to be a warrior, some items are immutable. You can bond and therefore get pregnant albeit extremely rare. You can love just like any other human but when the rubber hits the road, you will always be a warrior. You and your body can't stop being a warrior but neither can your body stop from being human."

Lauren when proposed. "I noted an extremely high level of cortisol in your blood stream Tamsin. It is a fight of flight hormone and looking at your cells historical intake of this, you have been this way for a week or so. Cortisol diverts energy to survival functions and your baby's growth hasn't been aborted, but it has been arrested probably due to Tamsin's body believing that it is unsafe to bear a child at this time. It may resume later."

Lauren then addressed Tamsin, "Are you under extreme angst or stress? I know Bo you are always saving the world, but this is Tamsin we are talking about. End of the world to a Valkyrie is akin to choosing what to eat for dinner for us."

Tamsin laughed stoutly since Lauren's simile was not only right but quite humorous, "That was a good one doc."

But it was Bo that immediately frowned and knew what is was.

The end was coming according to fate and Tamsin was doing her hardest to fight it. It was simply unsafe for her to bear a child when Tamsin knew her end was coming and soon.

Bo had to deal again with another causality of fate.

Her unborn child.

Bo realized that in the premonitions, Tamsin didn't even have a baby bump. That meant that either their child was born quickly and spared fate's cruel hand or Tamsin was still carrying when Bo took all her chi. It looked like the latter thus far.

Again Bo hated herself for something that had yet to occur. The more she resolved to never feed from Tamsin EVER AGAIN.

Tamsin quickly stopped laughing observing Bo and then replied seriously, "Yea. It's the end of the world as we know it … and … and I don't feel fine for once."

Tamsin felt her tummy and concluded the same thing as Bo. She and her baby were killed in battle. She also felt Bo's regret and self loathing.

She too felt regret that she snuffed out another life who was totally defenseless. THAT was her job to defend her. To protect Bo was one thing which she did so according to the premonitions but this was much more disturbing.

She had an obligation now to her baby and she didn't know if that took priority of Bo. It should.

Even not being a parent herself, she innately knew like it was coded in her being.

'A parent was never meant to outlive their children. If necessary, a parent would do what it took to protect them, even if that meant their death.'

Tamsin hated this looking down to the floor. She need more time to think about her course of action.

Bo then spoke up quickly, "I need to talk to you and several of the gang today about that."

Lauren cocked her head to the side and analyzed saying out loud, "Does this have anything to do with the Sea of Fae premonition the Aswang seer told us?"

Bo nodded and changed topics to told Tamsin, "Come on, let's gather everyone else. Lauren, can you see us in Hale's main study in an hour?"

"Sure babe," Lauren said deep in thought rubbing her chin.

Bo paused for a moment realizing that Lauren used an endearing term that she only used in their relationship when they were an item. She knew what Lauren meant however in that one statement.

'I love you.'
