Bo's thoughts were filled with white blinding rage as she tore through the streets of Toronto towards the Morrigan's headquarters. Her hands were gripping the steering wheel of her Camaro so hard her hands were shaking with the effort. Bo growled under her breath and she pushed the gas pedal down some more. The Morrigan had no right to keep Lauren from her! No right to make it seem like Lauren had died! All that pain! That bitch had no right! Lauren is mine! The succubus ranted inwardly. She parked her car right in front and stalked to the building looming ahead.

"She's mine." Bo whispered in a low tone, when she forcefully ripped the entrance door open shattering its glass to a thousand pieces. She strode with purposeful steps towards the white door of the Morrigan's office, but was stopped by a determined looking petite woman, who stepped in her way.

"Unless you're suicidal, you need to move." Bo warned growling in fury. "I'm here for the Morrigan."

"Miss. I'm her secretary. The Morrigan is a very busy woman. If you don't have an appointment... You need to leave. I've already called security." The secretary informed Bo in an even voice. At least seemingly unaffected by the angry brunette, she kept blocking the door with her body.

"You have a death wish?! I'm going in! I swear to gods, if you don't step away, I'm gonna throw you on your ass! I won't hesitate to hurt you." Bo hissed menacingly with her bright blue eyes blazing.

"Then you must do.." The secretary started as three security guards jogged their way.

"Miriam. Boys. It's okay." Evony intervened opening her door. "Bo, I've been expecting you. Please come in." She said pleasantly as if Bo was any other guest.

.


"Evony, what the hell?!" Bo roared as she entered the office after Evony, who had already sauntered to stand behind her desk. For safety or perhaps a gun, Bo vaguely pondered closing the door behind her. She wanted to rip the other woman to shreds, but she needed to know about Lauren first. Bo took a deep breath, but still held onto her anger. She would control herself until she had what she needed and.. then she would have her revenge on Evony.

"So, Miss Dennis.. My dear succubus. Whatever brings you here? Destroying my property?" The Morrigan asked with a wry smile. "Causing mayhem?"

"You know why I'm here! You made me believe, that Lauren was dead!" Bo snarled stalking closer until she was standing right next to the Morrigan's mahogany desk. Only the desk separating Bo from ripping Evony's throat open. I'll do that soon enough, Bo thought devilishly.

"Yes." Evony nodded calmly and crossed her arms on her chest. "Yes I did."

"I'm gonna hack off your head Evony!" Bo threatened irritated by the Morrigan's flippant attitude.

"You can try." Evony smiled wickedly.

"Don't tempt me! You took her from me!" Bo roared angrily. "You let me believe Lauren was dead! I'm gonna kill you for it!" She promised.

"I'd do it all over again." The Morrigan assured without hesitation. "I truly have no regrets."

"Tell me where she is! Tell me!" Bo was loosing control under the Morrigan's icy judging stare. The dark fae seemed completely unaffected by Bo's rage filled meltdown. She was not afraid, Bo realized.

"Why?"

"What?!" Bo spat narrowing her eyes.

"Why should I tell you where the good doctor resides?" Evony elaborated with a serious, almost sincere expression on her face.

"I need to see her! I want to see her! I want to.." Bo started to rant pointing her finger menacingly at the Morrigan.

"Oh yes. And you think Lauren needs to see a raging succubus?" Evony cut in sharply and pounded her fist on the desk for emphasis. "I don't know how much Kenzi told you, but Lauren does not remember you. You go barging to her, you'll scare her. Is that what you want?"

"No." Bo deflated a little. "But I need to tell her what she means to me. I want her in my life. I refuse to let her go again!" She managed to hiss.

"Bo. Bo. Bo. Tsk. Tsk." Evony sighed condescendingly, placing her palms on the wooden surface of her desk. "Wrong answer."

"What do you mean? It's the truth!" Bo snarled glowering at the other woman.

"Oh I know it is." The Morrigan conceded. "Do you hear yourself Bo? I want, I need, me, me, me.. Sad really. Still not thinking what's best for Lauren - What she wants, what she needs. Are you?"

Bo fell silent. She couldn't deny what Morrigan was saying, but she really needed to see Lauren. She couldn't just let her go. She breathed heavily and her shoulders sagged, the fire and fight leaving her body. She needed to see Lauren. Desperately.

.


"Miss Dennis, do you think Lauren needs a selfish succubus in her life? Hmm? Because I think not. What good would you bring to her life?" The Morrigan asked flatly after she had eyed the silent succubus for a few minutes.

"I.. I don't know." Bo whispered, the blue of her eyes now totally gone. "I love her. More than anything. More than anyone."

"I know you do, but do you really want to drag her back to the world of Fae? So you claim to love her, but you would do that to her? Just for you?"

The silence stretched again inside the office until Bo sighed raggedly. "No. I can't do that to her."

"I sense a but coming?" The Morrigan prodded almost softly.

"I thought she died! I wished I could see her once more and.. She died and.. I have to see her." Bo couldn't stop the tears falling from her eyes.

"I agree."

"I mean it Evony. I'm gonna find her. And you can't stop.." Bo paused her beginning rant. "What? You agree?"

"Yes. I think you need to see her. You'll see how happy she is now. You however, will not tell her about your shared past. You'll meet her and then you will say your goodbyes."

"What if I.."

"You don't want to test me on this. You hurt her and I'll hurt you." Evony said with an imminent threat. "Besides Lauren is human Bo. She's free. She doesn't belong with us. She never did. She's free and I would have thought you would want that for her."

"Yeah." Bo swallowed thickly. She came here to tear into Evony, but here she was.. Holding back tears, trying not to break down in front of the woman, who had wisked Lauren to a new life. A woman, who had made valid points of Bo's behavior. Bo sighed raggedly.

"Here's the address to her hotel." Evony shoved a piece of paper in Bo's hand. "I trust you to do the right thing for her for once in your life. Now.. Get out."

"You won't stop me from seeing her?" Bo asked quietly.

"No."

"Oh." Bo breathed nodding as she headed to the door.

"Bo? Lauren has someone special in her life. Someone she loves very much. Much more than she ever loved you." Evony called out just before Bo exited her office.

.


"Well, that wasn't nearly as satisfying as I thought it would be." Evony muttered darkly as her door clicked shut.

"What do you think she'll do?" Tamsin asked as she emerged from the dark corner of the Morrigan's office. She had been there the whole time, ready to take out the succubus, if Evony had ordered her to.

"Hopefully nothing stupid. She has come a long way for the hothead she was, but she's understandably in shock. She loves Lauren. I hope she loves her enough to let her go and not try and drag her back here."

"What if she does say something to Lo?" Tamsin sighed. "About all this?"

"We'll deal with then. I have contacts to deal with things. For now I choose to trust Bo to make the right decision. To put Lauren first." Evony shrugged. "If she doesn't, I'll have no problems ending her."

.


Bo had sat for hours in her car, that was parked across the street from Lauren's hotel. She had tried to come to a decision what to do. The urge to run inside and grab Lauren in her arms, to kiss the blond senseless was strong, but Bo was desperately fighting it. I need to see her again, but I can't go in there in this state. I'll scare her and I'll destroy everything.. I'm a mess.. I need to talk to Kenzi, Bo sighed wiping her eyes and started her car.

"Bo. What happened?" Kenzi sighed with odd mixture of dread and relief, when weary looking Bo entered the crack shack. "Did you see Lauren?"

"I couldn't go to her!" Bo cried and launched herself towards Kenzi and burrowed herself in the smaller woman's embrace. "Evony gave me the address of Lauren's hotel.. And I sat there in front of it and I.. I couldn't go in! Not after meeting Evony." She sobbed in Kenzi's shoulder.

"What did Evony do to you?" Kenzi asked hesitantly. The Morrigan was known to show no mercy and strike with force, if needed.

"Nothing. She just.. spoke the truth and.. it hurt." Bo sighed tearfully. "I can't be with Lauren. The best thing for her is for me to leave her be. I love her, but.." She trailed off squeezing her eyes shut tightly.

"Are you seriously considering letting her go?" Kenzi asked and felt Bo nod slowly.

"I don't want to.. I'm not sure I even can, but I don't want to hurt her. She's happy, she has someone and me.. a succubus, I would never be enough for her. She deserves someone.. better."

"Wow… I'm.. I'm surprised." The goth breathed.

"I want to see her." Bo murmured. "Do you think I should?"

"Maybe you should. You'd see she's healthy and happy. It might be easier to let her go?"

"Maybe, but my.. heart wants to not let her go.. What am I gonna do? Could I be just.. her friend?" Bo murmured distressed.

"Bo, only you know that.. If you do decide to meet her again, you have to hold yourself together. You have to get to know Lauren. This new her without digging up the past. Bo, the past is gone. You can't go back. Only forward."

"I might not be able to do that Kenzi. Maybe it's better I stay away. I know she's alive and happy and.. If I see her, I'm gonna kiss her.. And then what?" Bo sighed raggedly against Kenzi's neck.

"I don't know Bo." Kenzi said softly and tightened her hold on Bo. "I don't know."

.


"Hey Bo." Lauren smiled, when she noticed Bo hovering in the hotel lobby.

"Lauren. Um.. Hi." Bo stuttered, while she ogled the blond, who was wearing tight form-fitting work-out clothes.

"You're looking better." Lauren smiled. "How are you feeling?"

"Oh.. I'm fine. Thanks.." Bo swallowed a lump in her throat and resisted the urge to crush the blond against her body and never let go.

"I just came from the gym." Lauren motioned to the hallway. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh.. Yes.. I.. I.. met a client at the bar." Bo lied nervously.

Bo had managed to stay away barely a day. She actually had come to the hotel to see a glimpse of the blond, who was now standing right in front of her. She never meant to bump into her, just.. spy on her a little. Bo hadn't even told Kenzi, that she intended to go and stalk Lauren. Bo had tried to talk herself out of it, but it hadn't worked.. Obviously. Here she was. Standing face to face with the woman she desperately loved. If only things were different, Bo sighed inwardly. Just hold it together! She commanded feebly, while her eager eyes roamed on the blond's face and body and all that beautiful blond hair. Bo wanted to slide her fingers through the blond mane. She knew her emotions were unguarded flitting all over her face, but hoped that Lauren wouldn't notice. Or at least wouldn't comment on it.

"Oh right. Evony told me you're a private investigator." Lauren nodded, her eyes sweeping over Bo's face. Lauren gave a little shy smile, when a weird tingly feeling settled in her stomach.

"Yeah. Um.. So.. Sorry about the other day. That day was just.. draining for me and I'm sorry, if I said.. anything.. stupid." Bo looked awkward and sheepish, but Lauren noticed a strange familiar longing in the brunette's eyes. If she didn't know better, she'd call it love.

"Bo, it's okay." Lauren took Bo's hand and squeezed it gently.

"Oh." Bo's eyes dropped to their joined hands. She absentmindedly brushed the skin of Lauren's hand with her thumb making Lauren gasp softly. Bo lifted her eyes back to Lauren's. Bo's breath hitched, when she noted Lauren's gaze caressing her lips.

Bo felt her heart thundering in her chest. She's going to kiss me. I know that look. This is dream. A good dream - She's going to kiss me. Bo quivered in anticipation as Lauren's lips got slowly closer and closer. A small whimper escaped Bo's mouth, when Lauren's soft lips finally brushed against hers. Bo dared not deepen the kiss or put her hands on the blond other than tightened the hold on her hand. Lauren however didn't have such reservations. The blond released her grip on Bo's hand and her freed hands tangled in Bo's hair as she kissed Bo more passionately. Bo's aroused growl a moment later caused Lauren to unlock their lips with a shocked gasp.

"Oh God! I'm sorry. That was.. I'm sorry. I don't know why I did that.. Um, I shouldn't have done that. I'm so.." Lauren rambled panting a little and pulled away visibly shaking her body.

"Lauren.." Bo breathed in a daze, her jaw hanging open. She felt tingling on her lips and all over her body. She sighed elatedly. "It was.."

"Hey baby." Lauren suddenly cooed and looked behind Bo with twinkling eyes. "Oh Bunny, I've missed you." She started moving.

Bo unsteadily turned around to follow Lauren with her gaze and saw an older woman with a little baby in her arms coming towards them. Lauren pecked the smiling woman on the cheek and picked up the child, peppering the happily squealing baby's face with little kisses.

"How has he been mom?" Lauren asked the woman.

"He's an angel, you know that."

"Who's mommy's little prince?" Lauren tickled gently the baby's belly. "Oh, you are Toby. Yes you are. Sweetie." She grinned happily, closing her eyes and nuzzled her nose on Toby's head inhaling the sweet baby smell.

"Lauren's a mommy?" Bo breathed quietly, her eyes glued to the scene unfolding before her.

Thanks for reading :)

A/N Not that happy with this chapter, but it is what it is.. I'm struggling a bit with this story! I don't know why.. Maybe I'm just not cut to write this drama/angst filled stuff. *sigh* But worry not, I'll push this out. I have this story all planned out to the end. I only have to write it! Easy :D
