A/N: So glad you've all enjoyed this story, I wasn't too sure how it'd be taken when I decided to make Lauren a Lycan instead of Fae, but I'm over the moon that you all like the idea. Thank you so much for all the reviews, favourites and follows and just the overall love for this story…you're all amazing.
Enjoy.
BPOV:
It's only been 5 hours since Lauren and Kenzi left and I'm already miserable. Hale had to get back to the compound to deal with work so now I'm sat on my couch all alone in this big breezy shack. I pick up my phone and consider giving Lo a call but I don't want to be that annoying, over attached girlfriend.
"Fuck my life…I'm so pathetic." I throw my phone down onto the couch with a huff and lean my head against it.
As my mind once again wonders to Lauren I hear four loud knocks on my door. I approach the door cautiously and with my hand on my leg knife. I open it up but I relax instantly when I see who's there.
"Hey sexy." Sarah greets walking past me with a grinning Matt who has his hands full of shopping bags.
"What are you two doing here?" I close the front door and follow them to the kitchen.
"Well with Lauren and Kenzi gone we thought you might be a tad lonely, so we've got food and films." She grins.
"You don't have to do this, I'll be fine."
"No way. You're a part of this family now and we don't family all by themselves." Matt says resting a hand on my shoulder. I feel myself tear up at the love these people are showing to me…even after everything I did to Lauren in the past they're still inviting me into their family with open and loving arms.
"Okay then. So what are we having?"
"Well my man is actually an incredible cook, so we're thinking of cooking up a nice chicken parmesan, if that's okay with you…we can make something else if you want."
"No that sounds amazing Sarah, thank you." I say feeling the tears build up again.
"Not a problem." She says waving her hand at me before empting the shopping bags.
"So what can I help you with?" I ask them both as Matt stars getting everything prepared.
"Nothing. When I said "we're cooking" I actually just meant Matt. You and I will be relaxing on the couch." She says with a giggle while pulling out a bottle of wine from one of the many shopping bags.
"Have fun baby." She grins kissing Matts cheek, then dragging me towards the couch. I can't help but let a smile come over my face as Sarah chats away in my ear because it's just like having another Kenzi here with me and now I don't feel so alone.

Knock…knock…knock.
"Come in." I call out putting on my shoes.
"Hey I'm heading off to do some shopping and I was wondering if you wanted to tag along…get some fresh air." Liv says closing my bedroom door and leaning back against it.
"Yeah definitely. Some new surroundings will be nice." I tell her finishing tying my laces.
"Cool…So I've got an idea for today's training." She says coming to sit down next to me.
"What's the plan?"
"Well pretty much just act like a bitch."
"Eh?"
"We need to test her control, she's been doing great with her training but she hasn't had a test yet." She tells me.
"Can't you and Jen do it? You know more stuff about this then I do."
"I know but you mean more to her then we do…you're her family, if she snaps at you then we definitely need to up our game."
"I guess that makes sense." I agree. "So what do you need me to do?"
"The usual things to piss people off…be snappy, ignore her, anything to push her buttons really. That okay?"
"Yeah its fine, we have to do this."
"Nice one. Right legs go get some grub." She smiles patting me on the back.
We both head downstairs and I spot Kenzi sat at the breakfast bar scoffing down a giant stack of pancakes with a side of bacon and eggs.
"Hey Lo, you want some food…it's amazing?" Kenzi says with a mouth full of food.
"Nah." I only say keeping my back to her.
"You okay?"
"Yep." I keep my back to her while grabbing an apple. "Let's go Liv."
I walk right out the cabin and down to the car and wait for Liv to join me.
"That was good, she had a big scowl and was asking what crawled up your ass." Liv tells me starting the car.
"I feel bad."
"I know mate but it's for her own good, we need to get her to gain control."
"I understand, it's just hard. She's like my little sister."
"And she'll be thanking you in the end."
We head to the nearest town and do shopping for the week, most people would think we were shopping for the next month with the amount of food we bought, but us Lycans go through food like mad. When we get back Jen suggests some fight training today. Liv told me this would be the perfect time to really test that control.
"Okay so why are we not fighting in our wolf forms?" Kenzi asks standing across from Jen as me and Liv sit on the steps and watch.
"Because if you master fighting in your human form it will follow over into your Lycan form…also anytime you have an issue you can't just transform and fight, you need to be able to defend yourself as a human." Jen explains.
"Alright. So how are we gonna do this?" She grins jumping up and down.
"I'll be the attacker and you defend yourself."
"Kinda like when Lauren made Dyson eat bar nuts." She says with a laugh looking over at me.
"Focus Kenzi." I snap earning myself a frown.
"Okay then." She mumbles.
"So I'll come at you and try to use the moves I taught you last time."
"Come at me bro." Kenzi holds up her fists as Jen approaches her.
Jen brings her fist up to strike Kenzi in the face but Kenz uses her new speed to dodge it and heads around the back of her to grab Jen from behind. Jen obviously predicts this move and kicks out her back left leg that's sends Kenzi falling to her ass with a grunt.
"Predictable Kenzi." I shout at her.
She huffs and jumps up from the floor while brushing the dirt off her.
"Come on…try again." Jen says curling her finger at Kenzi.
I can see Kenzi is frustrated with how I'm acting towards her, so she's not completely thinking and runs at Jen full speed. Obviously she is predicting this attack again as side steps Kenzi while sticking her foot out and throwing Kenzi to the ground.
"Ahhh shit." Kenzi moans face down in the dirt.
"Focus Kenzi." I groan.
She stands up and sends me a glare. "I'm trying." She snaps.
"No you're not." I snap back, also standing. "You need to think Kenzi, you'll be no help to anybody if you continue to be this useless." I shout at her and I can see her body shake slightly.
"Will you get off my back, I'm doing my best."
"No Kenzi you're not. You're a smart girl so why are your rushing into dumb attacks." I say walking closer to her. "Do you want to be a part of this pack or back to that useless pathetic human?"
"I said I'm trying." She grits out with her teeth clenched and her hands in tight fists. I see Jen send me a worried look from behind Kenzi's back and Liv stand up from the steps.
"Well try harder." I'm now only a couple feet away from her and I can see her eyes start to flicker bright grey. "You said you wanted this so you could live forever with Hale and protect your family, but the rate you're going at Hale and Bo could be attacked and if they didn't make it…their death would be your fault." I growl out. I know bringing up Hale and Bo is one of the worst things I can do.
I hear a rumble of a growl build up in Kenzi's chest, making its way to come spilling up out of her mouth and before I know it I'm on my back with Kenzi's complete wolf snarling on top of me.
"KENZI NO." Liv shouts in her strong alpha voice and Kenzi immediately jumps off me and changes back into her human self.
"Oh my god." She gasps with tears building up in her eyes. "I'm so sorry Lauren." Kenzi sobs finally letting the tears fall.
"Hey…calm down." I say walking over and bringing her into my arms.
"I nearly hurt you." She cries into my shoulder.
"Shhh. It's okay you were just upset, that's why we are doing this training here. So we can get your emotions under control and when you do have these slips ups they're aimed at us and not someone who can get hurt." I hold her to me tightly and stroke her back in hopes to calm her.
"She's right Kenzi, in the beginning we all have our slips but you have all us here to help you deal with those moments. I promise that in a couple months you'll be able to handle anything anyone throws at you." Liv tells her.
"Really?" She sniffs lifting her head from my shoulder.
"Of course and that wasn't completely your fault, we had to see how you're coming along with your control so I asked Lauren to push your buttons. It may seem harsh but it had to be done." Kenzi frowns at Liv but she soon nods her head.
"Yeah I get it…you guys had to make sure I wouldn't go all crazy Lycan on some innocent victim."
"Exactly, now we know the areas we need to work on." Jen says gently rubbing her back. "Now I'll go get you some clothes and we'll get started."
I see Kenzi's eyes go wide and she slowly look down to see she's completely naked. "I forgot that happened when you changed." She cringes with a blush.
"Don't worry about it kid, soon you'll be used to seeing all our lady bits." Liv grins.
"Great…sounds like fun."

BPOV:
2 months left…only 2 months left until I see the two love of my life. I spoke to Lauren and Kenzi this morning and they both think her training is going amazing and Lauren is confident that they'll only be going for a maximum of 2 months, which I'm obviously ecstatic about. I definitely thought I'd struggle more with them both being gone but Lauren kept her promise about being in contact constantly, so we're on the phone to each other at least twice a day.
I'm pulled out of musings of Lauren when there are 3 loud bangs on the door. I pull myself up from the couch and look through the peep hole that Matt installed, apparently I can't be too careful.
I stare through the peep hole and see a fidgety Dyson on the other side. "Great." I consider just ignoring him but I know must have seen my car out the front and won't leave until I open up. I sigh deeply and open up the door for the broody dog.
"Can I help you?" Dyson just huffs in response and pushes his way past me.
"Oh sure, come on in."
"Have you heard from Hale since he got back from his honeymoon?" He asks standing in the living room.
"Of course I have, they got home over a month ago." I frown. "Haven't you?"
"No. He and Kenzi won't answer my calls and avoids me at the compound." He growls.
"Well can you blame him? You tried to start a fight with Lauren on his wedding day…his fucking wedding day Dyson."
"I was drunk okay, I didn't mean to spoil anything."
"You can't keep using that excuse every time you do something shitty and everyone was drinking, but somehow you were the only one who caused a scene."
"I get it okay, I was an asshole but I don't think that's a big enough reason for him to ignore me." He huffs.
"Well obviously he has a lot on his mind with everything going on with Kenzi." I say going to my fridge for a bottle of water.
"What's going on with Kenzi?" He asks with a confused face.
Shit…does he not know?
"Didn't they tell you?"
"Tell me what? What the fuck is going on Bo?" He comes closer and I can see him getting angrier.
"Look Dyson I think you should talk to Hale about this." I hold my hands out trying to calm him.
"Well I would if he would actually talk to me but he isn't, so you tell me what's going on." He demands.
"Kenzi is away with Lauren right now." I mumble. Should I really be the one to tell him?
"Why?"
"Well you know Kenzi and Hale are in love and they want to be together forever, so Lo is helping them out." I see the wheels turning in his head for a few seconds before a dark look comes over his face.
"No." He growls.
"Calm down Dyson. This has nothing to do with you."
"Lycans are disgusting beasts Bo, you can't let Lauren turn her." He says while pacing the living room.
"Oh stop being dramatic Dyson, Lauren and her pack are amazing people." I start to feel myself getting angry with Dyson because I can just feel another Lauren bashing coming on.
"Did you not remember what they did to all those innocent Fae, they tore them apart." He growls.
"That wasn't Lauren. It was their psycho ex member that attacked Lauren and changed her… they were the ones trying to stop him and did stop him, not you, them." I snap making my way out of the kitchen and towards him.
"And I'm pretty sure Fae have killed plenty of innocent people, so don't even try to go down that route."
He lets out a scoff as pushes his way past me and towards the door. "Whatever I need to see Hale and put Kenzi's change to a stop."
"It's too late." I call out.
"What's too late?" He asks turning back around with a frown.
"Kenzi's already been changed Dyson, it happened over a month ago and Lauren says me her trainings going great."
"That stupid bitch." He growls.
"Excuse me." I shout walking over to him. "All she wants to do is spend the rest of her life with her husband and you have no right to judge her." I spit angrily at him.
"I'm not talking about Kenzi." He says back just as angry. "I'm talking about Lauren, ever since she came back everything has been fucked. She's bad news Bo…why can't you see that?" He practically shouts gripping onto my shoulder.
I push his hands from my shoulder and roughly shove him back. "You seriously need to get over this grudge against Lauren okay. You're starting to seem like you're obsessed with her."
"Me? Bo you're the one who can't let her go." He shouts.
Is this guy for real?
"Dyson are you joking? She's my girlfriend…the love of my life, of course I'm obsessed with her. I never want to be apart from her again." He takes a deep calming breath along with an eye roll.
"You need to move on Dyson because in the end you're only going to hurt yourself. Me and Lauren aren't breaking up, we're the real deal."
He runs his hands through his hair and over his face in frustrations. "I just don't understand why you never gave us a chance Bo, I've been here with you for 3 years while she was away fucking around with anyone she could get."
"Dyson I don't blame her for leaving, she found me cheating on her with someone who treated her like complete shit. It's an absolute miracle that Lauren took me back and I'm going to spend the rest of my life making it up to her." He stares at me in disbelief at the words coming out of my mouth and I'm seriously starting to question his sanity. "I get that you've been here wanting a relationship, but my heart belongs to Lauren…it always has."
"SHES NO GOOD FOR YOU BO." He shouts with veins popping out of his neck.
He tries to move closer to me but I reach out for a kitchen knife from the counter. "Watch yourself Dyson…you can't come into my house, disrespect my girl and then try it on with me. You need to leave, before I make you." I tell him holding the knife up to his face.
He stares off into space and takes some deep breaths before looking at me with complete fury and fire in his eyes. "You'll regret this Bo…both of you will." He growls walking towards the door.
"No we won't Dyson." I shout making him stop. "This thing you've got going on ends the second you walk out my door. I've had enough of you moping around and insulting Lauren. You and I will never be a thing Dyson. So just move the fuck on already." He just stares at me before huffing and turning back to the door.
"Oh and don't ever threaten me again Dyson…it won't end well for you." I tell him darkly but he doesn't even turn back to me, just slams the door.
"Ugh…what a day." I huff throwing the knife back onto the counter top before falling back onto my couch.

LPOV:
"BLOCK HER KENZI." Jen screams from the side-lines with me as Liv comes at Kenzi full speed. Liv jumps up and brings her fist up to hit Kenzi, but as Liv swings her fist down towards her face Kenzi blocks her arm with her own before twisting Livs arm behind her own back and forcing her to the ground making her eat dirt.
"Yes Kenzi." I cheer giving her a clap. She looks over that me with a bright smile and releases Liv to come over and give me a high five.
"I'm getting better." She says continuing to grin like a Cheshire cat.
"You're doing incredible Kenz, I'm so proud of you." I tell her bringing her in for a tight hug.
"Yeah that was really good Kenz, you'll be a pro in no time." Liv says getting up off the ground and dusting herself off. She lifts her head and we all let out a laugh.
"What?" She frowns.
"You look like Phantom of the Opera Liv." I giggle.
"What the hell are you on about?" She says looking all over her body for what we're laughing at.
"Come here you divvy." Jen groans walking over to Liv. She reaches up and wipes away all the dirt that is covering half of Livs face from when Kenzi threw her to the ground.
"Oh yeah, I get it…very funny." Liv pouts wiping over to face once Jen is done.
"So how soon can we be done?" Kenzi asks turning back to me. "You did say I'm doing really good."
"Better ask the boss." I tell her nodding over at Liv.
Kenzi looks at with huge puppy dog eyes and her bottom lip sticking out. "Well you have been working 5x as hard since you wolfed out on Lo, so maybe we could shorten your time for a couple weeks." Liv smiles.
"I can go home next week?" She pretty much screeches in joy.
"I don't see why not, we've got to let you out in the real world at some point, but if anything goes wrong or you even start to feel off then we come back…deal?"
"Deal." Kenzi grins jumping up and down on the spot.
"Okay then, we'll head off on Friday. But until then let's do some more training…get as much in as possible before we leave." Jen instructs motioning Kenzi back over.
I watch for a couple minutes as Jen and Liv both spar with Kenzi before I realize I should let Bo know of the new plans. "Hey I'll be back in a minute." I tell them all heading into the house for my phone. I scroll through and click on Bo's name and beautiful picture.
"Hey hot stuff." Bo greets.
"Hey gorgeous, how's you today?"
"I'm fine, went out with Hale for breakfast and I'm going to the Dhal tonight with Matt and Sarah, grab a bite to eat with some food."
"Speaking of feeding…how's that been going on the Succubus side?"Bo did tell me that she had been feeding as little as possible since I left and I know she has much better control over it now, but I worry she's not healthy enough when I'm not there.
"It's going good, I was feeling a bit low yesterday afternoon so I went to a club last night and fed on a few people, just through some kissing and touching…I promise." She rushes out.
"Bo it's fine. I've always understood your need to feed Bo and now I understand even more that I'm a Lycan, I get the struggle of control…and the last thing I want is for you feel like crap just because you haven't fed properly."
I hear Bo let out a sigh over the phone at my words. "Okay I'll be smarter, I just don't like going near anyone that isn't you…and they don't taste as good." She husks at the end.
"Well you may not have to worry about not tasting me for much longer." I tease.
"W..what? What do you mean?" She says falling over her words in excitement.
"Well Kenzi has been doing incredible with her training so Liv think we can come back early, we'll be home on Friday." I tell her feeling my own excitement bubbling up at the thought of having Bo back in my arms.
"YOU'LL BE HOME IN 6 DAYS?" She screams down the phone in excitement.
"We think so. It'll be a real test for her to be back home but we've all got confidence in her to do fine."
"That's amazing Lauren. I can't wait until you're back here with me…I've missed you so much." She sniffs.
"I miss you too Bo, so much. And I promise that I won't be going anywhere once I get back."
"I know you're not because as soon as you're back with me we won't be leaving my bedroom for a very long time." She purrs.
"Mmm, well I like the sound of that." I tell her with my mind racing of everything I plan on doing to Bo.
"HEY LO…WE COULD USE ANOTHER PERSON." Liv shouts from outside.
"I'LL BE OUT IN A MINUTE." I call back.
"Sorry Bo I'm going to have to cut this short, they need me outside."
"That's fine, I'm still just so happy I'll get to see you in less than a week." She all but squeals and I can just the picture the grin on her face. "So should I let Hale know or leave it to Kenz?"
"Yeah let her do it. I'm sure she's excited to let him know during their 3 hour nightly phone call."
"Good point, I'll leave it to her."
"As hard as it is to hang up on you I should really go and help."
"I know me too, but it's fine because soon we'll be back together. I can't wait to see you Lo."
"Me either, I'll give you a call tonight. I love you Bo."
"Love you too."
"See you soon beautiful." I hang up on Bo and just stare at my phones background for a couple minutes. It's a stunning picture of Bo that I took when we went on a drive and ended up coming across this beautiful field filled with purple Tulips. Bo's sat in the middle of them with the sun shining against her face. She looks like perfection.
"LAUREN." Liv screams dramatically.
"Jesus Christ…I'M COMING." I rest my phone back down and head outside to help Kenzi with the rest of her training.
.
.
.
.
"Get a move on Lauren." Liv calls from outside the cabin and honks the horn a few times.
"Just a second." I zip up my suitcase and lug it outside to join everyone else. "I'm here…I'm here."
"Finally, we were supposed to be on the road 45 minutes ago." Kenzi says with a frown.
"Hey we all slept in not just me and you're the one that wanted to have breakfast here and not in the car." I argue back.
"Well sorry for wanting to eat food at a table, just because we're Lycans doesn't mean we have to act like animals." She insists getting in the car.
"Oooh look who's all grown up. What happened to the Kenzi that ate cold pizza and drank wine from the bottle?" I ask joining her in the back seat.
"Oh she's still here, but I'm a wife now, need to be good sometimes." She tells me with a cheeky wink.
"Right lets get you girls home." Liv says starting the car and pulling away from the cabin.
"Sounds good to me." Kenzi grins slapping my thigh in excitement. "You ready to see Bo?"
"I can't wait, I had no idea I'd miss her this much."
"What was it like when you first left? I mean after you were turned."
"I was angry for a long time. As you know when you're changed all your emotions and feelings are intensified, so when I was changed I was full of anger and resentment towards Bo and Dyson. So I kept away and then after time the anger soon went away but I was still hurt so I didn't come back." I tell her and I see her nod sadly.
"I am sorry though Kenz."
"What the hell for? You did nothing wrong Lauren."
"I just left you and Hale Kenz, after everything you both did for me and how you were there for me, but I just let you think the worst had happened. So I'm sorry."
Kenzi gives me a sad smile and grabs my hand. "You've got nothing to apologise for Lo. They hurt you and you needed time, so I get it okay. You didn't owe us anything."
"You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that." I tell her breathing a sigh of relief.
"Anyway none of that matters anymore, we're looking towards the future. Mine with Hale and yours with BoBo." She smiles.
"You're right…to the future." I say holding up a water bottle as knocking it against hers as she does the same.
We're on the road for a good couple of hours before I see the road to the Dhal coming up ahead. I notice Kenzi start to bounce up and down in her seat with a megawatt smile on her face and I can feel the same excitement run through me but I'm trying to keep me and my Lycan calm. I feel like my heart is about to jump out of my chest knowing that Bo is literally down the road. We pull into the parking lot and before Liv has even shut of the car Kenzi is out the door and I'm not too far behind her.
We enter the Dhal and I see its packed full of people who all let out a cheer when we both enter, but I pay no attention to them as my eyes are scanning the bar for my girl. As they continue to cheer I see a brunette push her way through the crowd and stop once our eyes lock. A smile spread over her face and she runs full speed to me and jumps into my arms, I wrap my arms around her waist as she locks hers around mine.
"I missed you so much." I mumble into her neck. She pulls her head back and runs her hands over my face before joining our lips in a passionate kiss.
"Fuck I've missed you so much." She growls against my lips. I move my hands to her shapely rear as she slowly starts to grind against me.
"Mmm…Bo we can't do this here." I groan feeling myself slowly lose control.
"But I want you."
"I know so do I, but we can't." I pull my lips from hers and gently set her back on the ground.
"Nooooo. I need you Lauren." She groans falling against my chest.
"Soon baby. We'll stay here for a little while and then I'll take you home and show you how much I've missed you." I whisper into her ear and gently nip on her ear lobe.
"Tease." She pouts.
"Come on, I know someone else who's been dying to see you." I grab her hand and lead her over to where Kenzi and Hale are stood. Kenzi jumps out of Hales arms and straight into Bo's as they both scream in joy at being reunited. I give them both their moment and give Hale a hug.
"Thanks for this Doc." Hale says with tears in his eyes.
"You're family, I'd do anything for you and Kenz."
"I know and I just want you to know I appreciate it."
"Anytime." I give him one last hug before heading towards my pack.
"THERE SHE IS." Matt bellows walking over and picking me up in a bear hug.
"Awww, I missed you too buddy." I pat his back and he drops me to the ground with a smirk.
I look behind Matt and see Sarah bouncing on the spot with a huge smile. "Come here you." I open my arms and she runs into them almost making me fall backwards.
"I missed you Lo." She grins pulling back from the hug.
"I missed you too, both of you." I tell Matt and Sarah. "And thank you so much for looking out for Bo while I was gone, she told me how amazing you both have been. I owe you big time."
"No worries, we'd do anything for you Lauren."
"Thank you anyway…and whatever you need just let me know." I tell them.
Matt and Sarah share a glance before they both nod at each other. "Well there is something you could help with." Sarah says.
"Name it."
"You've can get access to medical equipment right?" Matt asks.
"Yeah sure, is everything okay?"
"Oh no it's perfect, we just need you to check something for us." Sarah smiles rubbing her stomach. Oh my god.
"No way." I whisper, they both just nod with watery smiles. "OH MY GOD." I scream and bring Sarah in for a hug.
"When did you do a test?"
"Couple weeks ago, but we wanted you to be the one to confirm it." Matt says with a proud grin as his hand rests on Sarah's flat stomach.
"We can head to the compound tomorrow morning and get it confirmed, but I've got a feeling already."
"Yeah so have we, I can feel her." She smiles stroking her belly over Matt's hand.
"Her?"
She gives me a shrug but the smile stays in place. "Just a feeling I've got."
I bring her in for another hug letting them both know I've got their back in this and their baby will be fine. They ask me not to broadcast it until the first scan to confirm the pregnancy, I give them both my word and head over to the bar where Bo is stood with Kenzi and Hale.
"Hey good lookin" I mumble into her neck before softly biting it.
"Hey you." She turns and gives me a couple gentle kisses. "So can we leave yet?" I let out a laugh against her lips.
"You know we've been here for like 10 minutes."
"10 minutes too long." She groans.
"Ugh…take her home already, she's drooling all over you when you were talking to Matt and Sarah." Kenzi says wrapped up in Hales arms.
"Don't you want to hang out of a while?"
"I think we've got plenty of time for that…forever actually." Kenzi winks.
"Good point." I nod.
"So can we go?" Bo asks again gripping onto my hips.
"Okay then." I grab her hand and pull her to the exit. I look for Liv and see her laughing and dancing with Jen, she catches my eye and give me a nod and wink. "Have fun." She mouths before turning her attention back to Jen.
Bo pulls me out the Dhal and over to that bright yellow car. I jump in the passenger side and just stare out the window at the Dhal. A few months ago it's a place I never thought I'd see again. Now it's one of my favourite places in the world and at this very moment it holds some of the most important people in my life, the people I would do anything for and give my life for. It's crazy how life can change so much in such a short space of time…and I couldn't be happier.
"Hey." Bo calls resting her hand on my leg, pulling me from my thoughts. "You okay?"
"I'm perfect." I smile grabbing her hand and resting it on my lap.
"Let's go home Bo."

20 YEARS LATER.
SMASH
"What the hell." I mumble sitting up in bed. I look down to my left and see Bo sleeping soundly.
"Hmmm must have been a dream." I lay back down and cuddle into Bo.
I just start to doze off and I hear more rattling from down stairs. I look over at my bed side clock and see its only 6:15am, I feel confused in my sleepy state until my mind wakes up and realize exactly what the sound is. I jump out of bed and rush downstairs to the kitchen. I walk round the breakfast bar and see my beautiful 4 year old daughter standing over a broken jar that contains the chocolate cookies.
"Lily Lewis." I sternly say.
She practically jumps out of her skin and turns to me with her eyes wide and her mouth covered in chocolate. "Yes mummy." She whispers looking down at her lap.
"What happened here?" I ask pointing at the floor covered in glass and broken cookies. I reach over and lift her out of the mess and resting her on the counter top while checking her feet for cuts but thankfully there are none.
"Da jar fell." She mumbles.
"How did it fall?"
"I don't know mummy, I was in bed dreaming and I came down and the cookie jar was on floor and I tried to help but I dropped it."
"It was on the floor when you came down?" I ask and she realises her head and smiles.
"Yep."
"So why is the chair here?" I say pointing to the chair up against the counter where the cookies usually are. She just shrugs.
"Are you sure?"
"Mmhmm." She hums looking back down at her lap.
"Lily, did you grab the cookies to eat?" I ask.
Her bottom lip starts to tremble and she looks up and me with tears in her eyes. "YES." She cries burying her face into my chest.
"Well that was easy." I mumble stroking her dark locks. "Look at me Lily bear." I coo, she looks up at me with tears rolling down her chubby cheeks that I quickly brush away.
"You can't do that baby, you could have really got hurt and that would have made me and mama really sad. You can't do things like that baby girl."
"I sorry, I just really wanted a cookie." She hiccups making me laugh.
"I know but you can't just take them and it's way too early. You can't do that again okay?"
"Okay." She says cuddling into me.
"You promise?"
"I promise mummy." She says with a yawn.
"Okay then, how about we go back to bed for a little while." I pick her up and carry her back up the stairs. I go to put her back in her room but she begs to go in between me and Bo.
I gently lay her down next to Bo and she's back asleep in seconds, that girl really takes after her mother. I lie down next to her and pull the covers up making Bo stir. "Everything okay?" She mumbles looking down at her little twin.
"Everything's perfect, go back to sleep." I whisper watching her eyes struggling to stay open.
"Kay." She's back to sleep in seconds with her arm slung over our baby girl.
"Absolutely perfect." I say resting my hand over Bo's that's protecting our baby girl and I fall asleep feeling like the luckiest women in the world.
