A/N1: Wow! Thank you so much for the follows, reviews, and favorites, it really made my day! So here is the second chapter. It is sort of a filler chapter but I felt that it was important because it'll give you more of an idea how Lauren and Bo's relationship is for this story. If you are wondering where in the show, it's basically after the series finale, but as you already know I kept Trick and I think Hale is going to make an appearance as well! Enjoy!
When Lauren opened her eyes the next morning, she saw the morning sun flowing through the window. She was anxious. The doctor in her wanted to get moving so she could find out what was happening to her girlfriend. With that one thought in mind, she made a move to get out of bed, but an arm tightened around her waist preventing her from her task.
"No," Bo mumbled in her half asleep state, "stay."
"We have to meet Trick at twelve remember," Lauren said while she rotated until she was face to face to Bo. Propping herself up on her elbow she looked over the succubus' shoulder. The time seven am stared back at her in bright red numbers.
"What time?" Bo asked, as Lauren rolled onto her back staring up at the creamed colored ceiling.
"It's 7, go back to sleep," she whispered giving Bo a quick kiss, before she could make a move to get out of bed, Bo tucked herself into Lauren's side resting her head on the doctor's shoulder.
"You need more sleep," Bo muttered, eyes still closed as she continued making herself comfortable by Lauren's side, "you've been tossing and turning all night. We could get at least three more hours. You're the one who's always complaining about our "horrible" sleeping patterns, so sleep."
Accepting that she wasn't going anywhere, Lauren sunk lower into bed, grabbing the top sheet and readjusting it over herself and Bo. After, pressing her lips to Bo's forehead she closed her eyes wrapping her arms around the brunette. Sometimes she forgot just how well the succubus knew her. As she listened to Bo's steady breathing, she found herself starting to relax. It wasn't long until drifting off as well.
Bo's sleep was loudly interrupted by the sound of their blaring alarm clock. Since she was still tucked into Lauren's side, she swung her arm around blindly behind her trying to press any button to shut the damn thing up. When she was unsuccessful, she let out a loud groan. Untangling herself from Lauren, she hit the snooze button with more force than necessary, filling the room with silence. Wanting Lauren to get a few more minutes of sleep, she quietly slipped out of bed, and made her way to their bathroom.
Without warning, Bo felt the floor tilt beneath her, she quickly placed her hand on the door frame to steady herself. She didn't open her eyes until she felt the spell start to fade, turning her head she let out a sigh of relief when she saw Lauren still sleeping peacefully. Bo didn't want to worry her. Walking the rest of the way to the sink, she swiftly turned on the cold water. Cupping her hands, she started splashing freezing water onto her face. It was an old trick she used to use whenever she got dizzy, it always managed to ground her. With her eyes closed, she grabbed the small hand towel by the sink and dried her face. When she looked up into the mirror, instead of seeing brown eyes, she was met with icy blue.
Letting out a quiet growl, Bo placed both hands on the counter as she leaned forward closing her eyes. She started to take deep long breaths. Lauren taught her the technique years ago. She learned then that it was the best way to calm her. Her heart rate started to slow, and the blind hunger that attacked her moments ago started to recede.
"What is going on with you?" Bo whispered harshly to her reflection.
She hadn't felt hunger like that since before her dawning. Ever since then, she had trained her body to take small amounts of chi. Normally from large crowds, she used the Dahl the most, the sexual energy in there was always off the charts. It was the one thing her father taught her that she still used. But instead of sucking the life out of people, she would only take small amounts to get her through the day. If they were human, they would just feel tired; most Fae wouldn't even notice.
Her eyes snapped up when she saw Lauren move forward out of the corner of her eye. She was so lost in her thoughts she didn't hear the second alarm go off, much less Lauren making her way into the bathroom. Her stomach dropped when she realized that she had no idea how long the blonde had been in the room. But from Lauren's worried eyes to her regal posture, she had been there long enough to put the pieces together.
She opened her mouth to say she was fine, but the look in her girlfriend's eyes told her that whatever defense she could come up with, none would get her out of this.
"Lauren…"
"Were you going to tell me," Lauren asked quietly, never taking her eyes off Bo, "or were you going to hide it."
Taking in a sharp breath, Bo said the one thing that she knew Lauren hated to hear, "I don't know."
Lauren was the first to break eye contact. Looking down the doctor slowly nodded her head, not trusting herself to speak. Then she turned around, and walked out of the bathroom. Bo froze. She couldn't move, she couldn't speak, but what she could do was feel the terror that was racing through her veins. She couldn't stop the memories that were flashing across her eyes. Her and Lauren sitting on the couch in Lauren's apartment. Lauren telling her that she needed a break. Another one. Lauren and her standing in the Kenzi's place, Lauren saying that she didn't want to hurt Bo. But effectively doing it anyway when she broke up with her a second time.
Bo jumped when she felt someone place a hand on her shoulder. She only realized she was crying because that same person brushed her tears away with their thumb. Her eyes were open but she was blinded by the memories that kept crashing upon her.
She stayed in that state until she heard a soft but strong, "Bo?"
Lauren. It's Lauren. No one else said her name like that. Slowly, everything came back into focus. She found herself staring into worried hazel eyes, and let out a strangled sob. She fell into the blonde's arms, thankful when the blonde quickly wrapped her in a tight hug. They stayed like that for several minutes until Bo's breathing even out.
"Hey," Lauren whispered, pulling back and placing a sweet kiss on Bo's forehead, "Hey, look at me? I'm right here. I just had to grab something from my office."
Bo gave a slight nod tears streaming down her face. The memories were gone but the pain they caused was still lingering in the forefront of her mind. Lauren grabbed Bo's hands and walked her over to the bath, sitting her down on the edge.
"I'm going to give you a shot, okay? It's going to curb your hunger until we get you to the Dahl."
"I thought those stopped working years ago." Bo mumbled while giving Lauren a confused look.
Sighing Lauren took Bo's right arm, and quickly administered the shot.
"I figured the formula out shortly after your dawning, I've been tweaking it based on your blood results ever since."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because," Lauren looked into watery brown eyes, "I didn't want you doubting yourself. I kept working on it as a precaution not because I thought you weren't in control."
"Thank you," Bo said, when Lauren raised an eyebrow in response, she continued, "for trusting me. You always believed I could do it on my own, even when the reason I landed on your table in the first place was because I killed a guy."
Lauren let out a suppressed laugh.
"Well in your defense, you didn't even know you were fae."
"True. Very true, wow, we've really have come a long way from that point, haven't we?"
Lauren nodded in agreement.
"Well, I guess we can add overly emotional to the list of symptoms I'm having."
Lauren gave her a weird look then added, "Also extreme hunger and dizziness."
Looking down at down at her watch, Lauren gave a sharp gasp. Quickly, she pulled Bo up, pushing her out the bathroom into the closest.
"It's 11:37, Bo! We're going to be late to our meeting with Trick!"
"Okay, Lauren," Bo managed to get in front of the frantic blonde, "Lauren. Breathe, okay. He's my grandfather. He'll still be there if we're a few minutes late."
When she stared back at Bo like she was crazy, Bo shook her head, leaning down she placed a kiss on the blonde's lips. When Lauren closed her eyes and responded, Bo smiled in victory. Taking her chances, she deepened the kiss. When neither pulled away, she backed them up until they hit the wall, weaving her fingers into the blonde's hair.
She felt her hunger spur in temptation but she held it back. She wasn't ready for this moment to end. Lauren broke the kiss but kept their foreheads touching, both breathing heavily trying to catch their breath.
"Feed, Bo." Lauren whispered while looking into icy blue eyes. Before the brunette could decline. Lauren grabbed Bo's shirt pulling them as close as possible initiating another searing kiss. When she broke the kiss a second time, she whispered the three words that she knew Bo needed to hear, "I trust you."
That seemed to be what Bo was waiting for because a second later she crashed her lips onto Lauren's, pulling them both back into a strong kiss. When Lauren started to feel a deep pull, she allowed herself to relax into it.
Bo moaned while taking quick, light pulls of Lauren's chi. She just needed enough to tie her over.
When the kiss broke, both Lauren and Bo, felt content. Bo no longer felt the gnawing hunger, and Lauren was thrilled that Bo let her help.
"The shot should kick in, in an hour or so." Lauren said quietly.
Matching Lauren's tone, Bo responded with a smile, "I think I'll be good for a while. Thank you."
"I'm just glad I could help. Come on, your Grandfather's waiting."
With that said, they both started getting ready for the day. Falling into their normal morning routine. Even though Lauren was nervous for the upcoming meeting, she was ready to talk it through with someone other than herself. She felt weighed down by this unknown burden, sharing it with someone, might help her relax a little. All the doctor wanted was answers. And she hopes Trick will be the one to give them to her.
A/N2: Okay so before you go I want to ask a question that will be a major factor in what direction this story goes. What do you think is happening to Bo or what you want to see happen? Because I have two different ideas and I'm not sure which one to go with. Please let me know!
