The sex scene was from 1x5 but in the show it was Dyson, not Lauren & he refused to have breakfast with Bo & there was no "I love you" & stuff. I'm glad you guys liked it!

Lauren's POV – Saturday Afternoon – Carnival
"Babe, will you win me a goldfish? We'll take him or her home and name him or her, Jordan." I asked a reluctant Bo as I tugged her further into the carnival by gently tugging on our perfectly entwined fingers as we held hands.
"Babe, I know what you're doing and I appreciate you trying to distract me until we meet Tamsin and Evony for dinner. But, I don't think you'll be able to distract me like you did yesterday or the days before…I really do appreciate the effort though sweetheart."
I sighed, "Bo please try, it's the first day of the carnival. When I was a kid, I always went to the first day of the carnival with my mother." I gently pulled her into my arms for a few quick chastened kisses.
"Mmmm…you're a cheater Dr. Lewis. You know I can't resist making you happy or your kisses…So, let's enjoy the carnival but, I'm not letting us get a goldfish because they're a conspiracy! I mean you get one and they last long enough for you to get somewhat attached to them and next thing you know, they're dead three days later!"
"Actually, with proper care; a goldfish's average life span is 20 to 25 years and the record for the oldest goldfish to ever live; died at 43 years old and that particular goldfish was won at a fair in Yorkshire, England."
Bo's eyes widened as if she suddenly realized something. "Trick lied to me! I can't believe he lied to me! I had a goldfish from the carnival when I was little and it died after three days! He just said that, that's the typical life span of a goldfish!"
I chuckled at an upset Bo as I placed little kisses all over her face. "He probably genuinely believed that. Most people do believe that goldfish only live a few weeks at best."
"You're just trying to keep me from being mad at him and I love you for that and for many other reasons." Bo grabbed the back of my neck and brought me in for a long tender kiss. When the kiss ended, I started to lead us to the nearest game but, Bo stopped me and pulled me back into her embrace.
"…Lauren…I- I know about what you guys all did yesterday. I know that you, Kenzi, Nadia, Dyson and even Vex all went to Rainer's trial to testify against him. I know that you guys weren't allowed to do a video testimony like I did because the presiding judge only allowed me to do one due to my special circumstances regarding Rainer. I know that you had Vex and Kenzi keep me company while you went to your hospital meeting and to court to testify against Rainer. I'm not stupid Lauren and I am a lawyer, the more people testify, the more likely and easily a side is going to win a case…I understand why you guys didn't tell me and why you had me distracted yesterday and today and stuff…But, I have to know…how do you think the trial went…did you give me the bike out of guilt because you felt bad about not telling me about you going to his trial?"
Bo's eyes pleaded for answers that I couldn't give. My heart broke as I caressed her cheek with the palm of my hand. "Bo…you know that I'm not sure how the trial went. I left the court as soon as I was allowed off the stand. For all we know, they may be deciding Rainer's fate at this very moment if they couldn't do it yesterday for whatever reason. You know, it's funny that most people think that all courts are closed on weekends besides traffic court which is not true which you know since you're a lawyer and have done criminal trials on weekends and stuff…and I'm rambling because I do feel guilty about not telling you. But Bo, the bike was not a gift out of guilt at all and I've never thought or believed that you're stupid and I never will believe or think that about you."
It broke my heart that Bo would even consider the thought of me thinking that she was stupid. "You know that I think you're smart…and funny…and beautiful…" I told Bo with loving conviction in between planting slow, soft, loving kisses on her perfect lips.
"You're such a sweet talker, Detective. Is this how you get your suspects to talk? Should I be worried or jealous?"
I chuckled, "You never have anything to worry about because you're the only one I see on a daily basis. I only have eyes for you Bo…and I'm sorry for not telling you about going to court, I just didn't want you to-"
Bo silenced my apology with a kiss. "No apologies, I know you were just trying to protect me and I love you for it…Just…next time, which given our professions there will likely be a next time of some sort…just please tell me what you're doing instead of trying to hide it from me and constantly keeping me with company…please. I'm really not mad and it's been a really long time since anyone has really tried to take care of me and it does make me feel special…But, I'd just prefer to be in know, instead of being tip toed around, okay? Again, no apologies…just next time…please tell me."
I nodded as I felt guilt wash over me. Bo must have seen it in my eyes because before I could even speak, she held me tighter and gave me a long passionate kiss. "Now that, that's over, where should we go first, Doctor?"
I looked around the carnival as I tried to ignore my arousal response to the way Bo said doctor and detective like she always does. My eyes landed on the ring toss game with Star Trek plush figures as prizes along with other kinds of prizes. But, I only had eyes for the Star Trek prizes; mainly, Spock.
I pulled out of Bo's embrace and guided her by our entwined fingers to the ring toss game. "Come on Assassin, you're going to put your skills to use to win me the biggest Spock prize they have at the ring toss game." Bo laughed at my serious tone over a Spock plush figure even though she knew I was dead serious.
"Yes dear, your wish is my command." She whispered in my ear as we reached the ring toss game. She kissed me on my neck from behind before she went over to the game host to pay him five dollars for five tries.
Bo landed all five of her rings on the back row of the bottles with ease. The guy looked absolutely shocked as he told her to pick any prize she wanted in a complete stutter. Bo just gave the guy a shrug and told him it must have been beginner's luck.
She then turned to me, prompting the guy to see that it was my choice. I of course picked the huge plush Spock figure. The guy grabbed it and handed it to me while still in complete shock as we thanked him and walked away.
I knew I was grinning like the geeky nerd that I will always be at heart as I thanked Bo with a kiss; simply because I had a new Star Trek figure to add to my already huge Star Trek collection. Bo chuckled; my guess is at the silly grin on my face.
"You're so adorable, Lauren Lewis. But just so you know, Spock is not sleeping in our bed. No way am I risking being replaced by Spock especially in the bedroom department. Come on; let's go put him in the car before we do anything else."
4 Hours Later
We did everything and ate almost everything the carnival had to offer except win a goldfish because…well, Bo's childhood goldfish trauma has scarred her for life. The only thing we had left to do before we had to meet Tamsin and Evony at the diner was the Ferris wheel. So, we did just that.
We got on; cuddled immediately and watched the scenery as the sunset with kisses here and there. As the ride came to an end, we took a photo together with my phone while we were waiting to be let off of the Ferris wheel from the very top of it. We looked at our photo and agreed that it was perfect before I sent the photo to Bo's phone. The day was perfect; I just hope the night is too...
6pm – Diner
"Told you they'd be here six o'clock sharp, you owe me twenty bucks." Tamsin bragged to Evony as we approached their booth. "Shut up, Battle" Evony grumbled like a sore loser as Bo and I chuckled and rolled our eyes as were took our seats across from the oddly…perfect for each other couple almost just like me and Bo, almost…I mean let's be honest here; no couple is a more perfect couple than us in my opinion and I'm a genius so, I highly doubt I'm wrong.
Before Bo could ask the question she's been dying to know the answer to, Tamsin beat her to it. "I didn't call yesterday because we didn't get the verdict until this morning because Rainer's lawyers tried every desperate strategy they could think of to get Rainer off the hook or reduce his sentence. It was tedious, annoying, a waste of time and completely useless with all the overwhelming evidence and testimonies against him. So, what's the verdict, you ask…Rainer was found guilty on all charges against him and got three life sentences with no chance of parole."
Bo's expression at Tamsin's news was completely unreadable. I was about to say her name in attempt to snap her out of her haze when she broke out of it with a grateful smile towards Tamsin and Evony with glassy eyes. "Thank you, all of you…especially you, Lauren. You saved me and gave me a reason to live my life with purpose and meaning again."
"Hey! We're the ones that set you two up. We're the real heroes of this story!" Bo and I rolled our eyes at Evony's constant need to be the center of attention. "Yes Evony, you're a real hero especially when you almost had me shoot Lauren."
Tamsin briefly choked on her coke when she heard Bo's statement. "Evony! You promised me that Lauren would be in no danger when we decided to set the two up in such a…unique way…Lauren almost being shot does not qualify as 'no danger'!"
"Evony waved off a glaring Tamsin off as if Tamsin was overreacting. "Oh relax honey, I knew Bo would dig for more information on Lauren and drop her soak and wet panties for her before she would ever harm her. Don't get your panties in a twist for nothing, sweetheart."
"Whatever, you're so not getting any tonight Evs." Evony chuckled as we watched on in amusement. "Yes I will unlike you who won't be getting your twenty bucks…So, anyways… Bo...is it safe to assume that you're done with "nightly activities" since Rainer's behind bars and your new life with Lauren? You're both welcome for bringing you two together by the way…"
Bo scoffed at Evony's attempt to get a "thank you" from us before she turned to look me in the eyes to make sure she had my fullest support in whatever she decided. I gave her a smile and a nod which made her smile at me in return before she looked back at Evony and answered her as well as Tamsin.
"You two said you brought Lauren into my crosshairs, literally…because you wanted to keep me from completely losing myself to my alter-ego…and guess what? You guys did that with unbelievable success. You never said that your goal was to get me to quit my alter-ego and Lauren has no intention of asking me to quit so…no, I'm not going to quit. I still want to pick up where justice fails to help protect the people of this city. But, if it makes you two feel better, I haven't…"took care" of anyone since you brought Lauren to my attention."
I put my hand over Bo's hand to firmly reassure her of my full support in her decision in case she had even an ounce of doubt about having full my support. Tamsin and Evony just stared at us for a moment before they nonchalantly shrugged at Bo's answer. "Fine, whatever…just remember, Succubus…Lauren and I go way back and I am your boss so, if you hurt Lauren, I will make your life a living hell, got it?"
"Tamsin!" I exclaimed with scolding anger in my tone. "Don't threaten Bo, she would never ever hurt me." Bo gave me a quick kiss on the cheek to calm me.
"it's okay babe, I want people to look out for you, even from me. Tamsin's just being a good friend." Tamsin gave me a smug smile while Evony looked bored and slightly annoyed, probably because she was hungry and we have yet to even order any food.
"Alright babe...I guess...I'll let Tamsin threaten you just this once...even though I know you'll never do anything to intentionally hurt me in any way…I love you, Bo."
I looked towards Bo with a loving smile, prompting her to kiss me on the lips with a grin even as the kiss ended all too soon in my opinion. "I love you too, Lauren." We heard Evony clear her throat for our attention.
"Alright now that, that mushy moment and all the important business is done with. Let's order, shall we…you know, before I hold the three of you in contempt for starving this very important judge." We all laughed at an agitated Evony before I called the waitress over to take our orders…or at least Evony's order before we found out if she would find a way make good on her threat or not.
Bo snuggled into my arms as we read the menu with a peaceful smile on her face. I'm so…beyond happy that she finally got her very own justice. No one deserves justice more than the most perfect woman in my arms.
What a perfect way to end a perfect day. I couldn't have asked for a better way to end the day…and now, Bo and I can both focus on our future together without anymore past demons in our rear-view mirror anymore. Sure, I know we'll have other obstacles in our life but I don't care because I know Bo and I will face everything together, defeating everything and anything that comes our way as one and that's all that matters…As Kenzi would say…BoLo against the world, always and forever.
