Bo drove home in a daze. Different thoughts were whirling around her mind. Lauren had kissed her. Bo wondered, if she might have pushed her a little. Lauren had a baby. Five month old cute baby boy. Toby. She had met Lauren's mother Margaret, Bo shook her head in disbelief. What a strange day it had been. I was supposed to stay away from Lauren, but now I'm going to see her again. See her soon.

"Bo? You okay?" Kenzi eyed her friend, who plopped heavily on the sofa. "Why do you look like that? Where were you?"

"I.. I went to Lauren's hotel." Bo admitted shrugging still finding everything that happened incredible. She was trying desperately to collect her thoughts.

"Bo.." Kenzi chided gently.

"I just wanted to see her.. I wasn't planning on meeting her or anything. But then she bumped into me. And we talked a little. It was.." Bo sighed. "It was great. She's so smiley and happy now. I wanted to hold her.. to wrap my arms around her so bad.."

"Did you?"

"No. I didn't. But.. I love her Kenzi." Bo breathed quietly.

"I know."

"It's so hard to.. It's hard that she doesn't remember me." Bo breathed. "Though she may remember a little.."

"What? What did she say?" Kenzi gasped with wide eyes.

"She.. She kissed me." Bo smiled hesitantly. "She got that look.. and I knew she was going to kiss me.. And she did."

"And?" Kenzi prodded.

"It was.. heavenly." Bo sighed happily. "She was shocked after. Lauren really didn't mean to kiss me. I think I might.. She was holding my hand and.. I wanted to kiss her.. I might have enthralled her. Unintentionally." She shook her head slightly.

"You're not sure?"

"No. We were holding hands and then she kissed me." Bo's gaze dropped to her hands resting on her lap.

"Maybe she wanted to kiss you too? You're hot right?" Kenzi teased hoping to ease Bo's wariness. "So what happened then?"

"Her mother came to us with a baby."

"A baby? What baby? Whose baby?" Kenzi rattled quickly.

"Lauren's. She has a beautiful baby Kenz. A baby, who looks exactly like her. He's.. He's gorgeous. He kept staring at me with his beautiful eyes, while he kept a strong hold on my finger. Lauren has a son, Kenzi." Bo breathed in awe.

"Does that bother you?" Kenzi asked carefully.

"No." Bo said without hesitation. "Did you know she's a mommy?"

"No I didn't." Kenzi gave a small smile. "The little guy will probably grow up to be a brainiac like her mama. How old is he?"

"Probably." Bo chuckled. "Toby's 5 months soon."

"Oh." Kenzi acknowledged.

"Do you think Lauren has.. someone at home? She didn't say anything about Toby's other parent. And I.."

"I think she's single. She hasn't mentioned anyone to me. Well, except maybe Ta.." Kenzi thought back to her conversations with Lauren.

"Oh right, Lauren invited me.. and you to dinner. So.. We're having dinner with Lauren tonight." Bo cut in sounding a bit hesitant as she was expecting Kenzi to shoot her down.

"Just Lauren?" Kenzi said with a raised eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" Bo huffed, before rolling her eyes. "Oh, right. Maybe her mother will join us?"

"I wasn't thinking of her mother.." Kenzi groaned expecting Bo to flip out, when the succubus found out about Tamsin.

"Who then?" Bo narrowed her eyes at her fidgeting friend.

"Tamsin." Kenzi said flatly.

"Tamsin?" Bo scoffed. "Why the hell would Tamsin suddenly.."

"She's Lauren's BFF or something. Apparently they're close. Tamsin's been with Lauren since the accident." Kenzi blurted, but regretted it as soon as she saw Bo's darkening face.

"Been with her? Been with her?!" Bo snarled. "What do you mean?"

"Not like that." Kenzi quickly denied, but then fell silent. "Uh.. At least I don't think so.."

"What?" Bo seethed in jealousy and rage. The thought of the Valkyrie with her Lauren was making her blood boil. The thought that Tamsin had been with Lauren all this time, while Bo had been brokenhearted, was making the succubus stomach clench uncomfortably. "Kenzi? Tell me." She hissed.

"Tamsin's.. I don't know.. Lauren's bodyguard? Companion? Evony ordered Tamsin to stay with Lauren.. And now they're.. close? Um.. Friends?" Kenzi rambled imploringly, eyeing warily the twitching brunette.

"Close? CLOSE?!" Bo roared. She froze panting and desperately trying to reign in her jealousy and the piercing pain slicing her heart. Was Tamsin Toby's other mother, Bo fumed. "Tamsin is with Lauren?! My Lauren?! That's WRONG. WRONG KENZ!"

"Bo.. Calm down. I don't know what they are! We'll find out okay? Please, please don't lose your shit now! You have to control.."

"That woman has been with Lauren this whole time?! It should have been ME! ME, KENZI! I'M THE ONE WHO LOVES HER!" She bellowed angrily and stalked to her room slamming the door so hard it barely stayed on its hinges.

"This dinner tonight is going to be.. lovely." Kenzi sighed rolling her eyes.

"I could fall for her you know." Lauren said lifting her eyes from the book she was reading. Tamsin was sitting next to her on the sofa in Lauren's room. The taller blond had been fiddling with her tablet. "I must not, but I truly could. Easily."

"Who?" Tamsin asked flippantly even though she knew very well who Lauren was talking about.

"Bo. Beautiful Bo. She's so sweet and considerate." Lauren exhaled dreamily.

"Right." Tamsin snorted, making Lauren glare at her. "Sorry. There was something in my throat." She grinned smugly.

"There's something.. enticing about her. It's weird. I feel like I.. know her somehow.. Especially when I touch her.. she feels so familiar? I don't know. Strange huh?" Lauren breathed deeply and forced her eyes back on the open page of her book. "I kissed her." She admitted murmuring quietly, but Tamsin heard her anyway.

"You did what?!" Tamsin screeched loudly. "Why?!" She continued alarmed. This could cause trouble. Big trouble.

"Shh! Quiet! For gods sake! Toby's sleeping." Lauren hissed and both women silently waited, if the boy would wake. Luckily he didn't stir.

"I.. I just couldn't help myself. She stood there all beautiful and smiling softly holding my hand.. Looking like she wanted to touch me and kiss me, but wasn't brave enough. Um, and I.. I sort of.. Well, pounced on her." Lauren shrugged sheepishly after a beat.

"Did you feel.. warm tingles or something on your hand before you wanted to kiss her?" Tamsin asked wanting to know, if that infuriating succubus had used her powers on the blond.

"What? No." Lauren scoffed with baffled expression. "Why?"

"No reason." Tamsin ssid evasively. Maybe Lauren's body remembers Bo somehow even when her mind doesn't, the valkyrie pondered worriedly.

"I also invited Bo and Kenzi to join us for dinner tonight." Lauren revealed nonchalantly.

"Oh my gods! Why?" Tamsin whined desperately. Bo probably didn't even know that Tamsin was here or involved in this. Now she would and the succubus would most likely flip out and mess up everything.

"I like her. And I like Kenzi." Lauren said resolutely. "We're having dinner with them tonight. Mom promised to be with Toby for a few hours."

"And tomorrow we'll leave for Vancouver. This is just dinner and you're not thinking staying here for Bo or anything? Right?" Tamsin asked.

"Stay here for Bo? Seriously Tam Tam? I barely know her." Lauren said meeting Tamsin's apprehensive green eyes. "Like I said I could easily crush on Bo, but I won't let myself do that. I have a life in Vancouver and I can't wait to get home. I've had enough of travelling for months to come. Me and Toby are in Vancouver to stay." She smiled softly.

"Good." Tamsin nodded relieved. They would leave tomorrow and that would be the end of this hassle.

.


"Bo you need to be calm. Stay calm. Not get into a.. scuffle with Tamsin." Kenzi whispered pointedly as they entered the restaurant on the ground floor of Lauren's Hotel. The goth had been prepping Bo for hours it seemed. They both knew that, if Bo lost her cool all hell would break loose and Lauren would be the one to suffer.

"For Lauren you'll be nice and civil throughout this dinner. Right?" Kenzi reminded.

"I will." Bo flexed her neck from side to side and took a deep breath. "For Lauren." She wouldn't let herself upset the blond doctor in any way. Bo knew that she'd just have to buck up and enjoy this evening and forget the rest.

"Good. Let's go. There they are." Kenzi waved at Lauren, who had already noticed them.

Bo's eyes latched on Lauren. The succubus released a happy sigh at the sight of the smiling blond with twinkling eyes. Their earlier kiss flitted through her mind even when she tried to suppress it. Her eager eyes roamed on the blond's face, lips and cleavage. And even from a distance, it was having an obviously arousing effect on the brunette.

"Oh gods." Kenzi groaned noticing Bo's lustful expression. "Come on! Do not get it on with Lauren either." She hissed and tugged Bo with her. "Stay calm." The goth repeated and Bo released a staggering breath.

"Right.." Bo said feebly following her friend.

.


"Lauren." Bo exhaled swooning, when they reached the table. Seeing Lauren so carefree and sparkling was doing strange things to the brunette's insides.

"Bo. Glad you could make it." Lauren gave a wide smile, that made Bo's stomach flip pleasantly. "Kenzi, you too." The blond added meeting Kenzi's eyes.

"Of course we made it." Kenzi smiled. "Hey Tamsin." She nodded to the valkyrie hoping to convey her concern about Bo through her eyes.

"Tamsin." Bo greeted clenching her jaw, when she turned to the woman.

"Bo." Tamsin replied eyeing the succubus warily.

"I'd say it's a pleasure, but.." Bo spat not able to control anger.

"Bo." Kenzi cut in. "Be nice. Sit." I'm gonna have an ulcer after tonight, she guessed unhappily.

"Yes. Be nice." Tamsin smirked despite the fact that cold dread was filling her gut. This evening could go terribly wrong. So fast. She took a deep breath and filled Lauren's water glass, when they all had sat down.

"Oh, you two know each other?" Lauren motioned between Bo and Tamsin. She was sensing the tension rolling of both women.

"We have a.. past." Bo said without thinking, before realizing how that sounded and saw Lauren's face fall slightly. "No. I mean.. Um.. Not that kind.."

"Tamsin and Bo were.." Kenzi started to say, but Lauren cut her off.

"You and Bo were together?" Lauren asked meeting Tamsin's eyes. For some reason the thought brought unpleasant tightness in her chest. It was weird, because Tamsin was her friend and Bo was.. Bo was just a dream. A fantasy. Lauren knew nothing could ever happen between her and Bo. They lived on the opposite sides of the country. They didn't even know each other that well, but.. Still she was feeling.. jealous and anxious. Or something, she sighed inwardly.

"Uh.." Bo's gaze pleaded Tamsin not to screw her over. The brunette looked totally mortified and scared, that Tamsin would lie they had been an item and then Lauren would.. hate her. Please Lauren don't hate me, Bo thought desperately.

"No. Of course not. We worked together occasionally. In the past." Tamsin finally said and Bo breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's order. I'm hungry." Tamsin said curtly.

.


The dinner had gone well to Kenzi's and Tamsin's surprise. They had both been expecting something to go wrong, but no. The topics had stayed safe and nobody had lost their cool. It had been quite pleasant and fun for everyone. Bo had stared doe-eyed at Lauren, who seemed unfazed by the attention.

Only blip during the evening was when Tamsin had noticed the subtle glares the succubus sent her way, whenever she touched Lauren in any way. So of course the valkyrie had increased the amount of her friendly touches on Lauren's arm and shoulder, until Kenzi had kicked her in the leg as a warning not to rile up Bo. And Tamsin agreed it would be stupid to push the brunette into a jealous frenzy and refrained from being overtly affectionate.

They had eaten and the women were saying goodbyes and parting ways. Lauren wanted to get to Toby and Tamsin had told everyone they had an early flight back home tomorrow. She noticed Bo's shoulders sag, when the brunette realized Lauren would be gone again. The valkyrie felt sorry for Bo, but was happy they'd be leaving Toronto and leaving all this behind. They were going back home.

"Lauren?" Bo touched Lauren's arm effectively stopping the blond from leaving just yet. "Um, could I talk to you a minute?"

"Sure." Lauren nodded looking a little surprised. "What is it?" She asked, when they had taken a few steps away from the others.

"So. Um.." Bo glansed at Kenzi, who was standing out of earshot. The smaller brunette looked at Bo warily and shook her head slightly. "Don't answer if you don't want to, but.. um.. is Tamsin Toby's other mother?" The succubus blurted nervously.

"No-no. Tamsin's Toby's godmother." Lauren smiled widely. "Tamsin and I are friends. I had Toby by myself, but Tamsin has been a great source of support for me. She's an awesome friend." Lauren said softly.

"That's.. That's good." Bo nodded glancing at the scowling Valkyrie, who was held back by Kenzi. "I.. I'd really like to see you again Lauren. Maybe like.. a date?" Bo asked, before she could stop herself.

"Oh." Lauren gave a small sad smile. "I'm sorry Bo.." She started and Bo's face fell. The succubus knew she was going to get rejected.

"I.. I just.." Bo sighed trying to think of something to say to convince Lauren to give her a chance.

"Bo you're so beautiful and sweet. And I really liked getting to know you a little." Lauren started.

"But?" Bo said in an oddly hopeful tone.

"But.. I live in Vancouver. I have a life there and no intention to move anywhere. It's my home. And starting something.. a long distance thing, when we don't really even know each other.. I'm sorry, I just don't think it's a good idea."

"Okay.." Bo looked defeated. She was gonna lose Lauren again. And that hurt terribly.

"Bo.. I'm sorry. Maybe if the situation was different... " Lauren said. She felt unpleasant tugging in her chest at Bo's obvious hurt and disappointment.

"It's okay Lauren. I get it." Bo smiled sadly. She did get it. The situation sucked in more ways than Lauren even knew.

"I'm sorry, I really have to get to Toby now. I wish you all the best Bo. If you're ever in Vancouver.." Lauren trailed off.

"Yeah. Take care.. Bye." Bo smiled softly, but knew she sounded disappointed. She would have wanted to talk about meeting up with Lauren again. But the blond was going home tomorrow and there was nothing Bo could do about it. Nothing she would do. Lauren had a happy life on the other side of the country. Bo refused to mess that up and drag Lauren back to Toronto and back to the fae. Maybe there wasn't anything she could do to change the situation. The circumstances were against them.

"Bye Bo." Lauren said softly with a little wave of her hand and disappeared into the elevator with Tamsin in tow.

"Bye." Bo choked out with tears in her eyes after the elevator doors had closed.

"Bobo, let's go home." Kenzi rubbed the brunette's back softly with her palm. "Come on." She ushered gently.
