Chapter 19

They stayed in bed, making love, sleeping, talking. Lauren would prepare something for them to eat but Bo was more interested to eat her. They missed each other so much. They laid, hugging, Lauren was caressing Bos back, head, hair. Bo was sleeping, at peace, after a long time. Laurens arms, her calming port.

"You know I can cut your hair baby. They need some strength"

"I don't care"

"I do. I love them"

Bo smiled. She raised her head and kissed her babe.

They heard a car coming, Bo jumped up from the bed, naked, she grabbed her dagger and the gun.

"Get in the bathroom"

"Maybe its your cou…."

"I said get in the bathroom"

Lauren didn't want to argue, so she got her sweater and rushed in the bathroom. Bo looked from the window to see her cousin and the housekeeper coming, she was completely naked. She got her black top and boxers and opened the door.

"Hey, glad to see your ok"

Her cousin was looking a bit scarred and at awe. Bo hugged him. The housekeeper was staying in the car.

"Don't bring her here again, we wont need her"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, Lauren and I are managing"

"Ok, I brought you some more food and there is more wood at the back of the truck, there is more snow coming and I aint sure if I would be able to access you then"

"thank you"

"Where is Lauren?"

Lauren got out of the bathroom at that moment. She went straight towards Jonathan, he smiled at her, she smiled back.

"Hey Jonathan"

"Hey Lauren how are you?"

"Ok"

Bo didn't like their interaction so she got in between and told Jonathan they should start getting the wood in, she got quickly dressed and got out. Lauren got under the covers again.

When she woke up, Bo was lighting the fire and it was dark. She must slept all afternoon. She got up and hugged Bo from behind.

"Hey baby"

"Your up."

"Mmmmm, I must have slept all day"

"You were tired"

"Yes I was. But I am not anymore"

"Why don't you eat something?"

Lauern felt a shift at Bos mood.

"Whats up baby?'

"Nothing"

Lauren smiled, she knew Bo so well now, it was like they were two parts of the same person. She looked at her.

"Jonathan said things are getting bad, The fae are searching for us and closing on us, searching us everywhere. He wont be able to come soon again"

"And what else?"

Bo didn't answer/

"What else baby?"

"They got a price on my head. They would reward anyone who is going to kill me"

"So basically they want to kill us, not capture us"

"Me, not you. They are searching for you, according to Jonathan, they want you alive"

"They can say what they want, we are one now."

Lauren could see something that Jonathan said was bothering Bo but didn't want to spoil their short term happiness. She wanted to enjoy the time they had together before they start running again. She went to the kitchen and started preparing omellete with bacon and cheese and tomatoes and everything else she wanted to eat. Bo followed her and smiled.

"Kids are hungry?"

"Yes they are, and their mama too"

Lauren prepared dinner for them, she would sit between Bos legs and they would share the food in the same plate. They feed each other, sharing small kisses and deep looks. Bo would sometimes hug Lauren strong and forget it until Lauren would remind her to loosen up a little. They finished eating, Bo wont let Lauren get up from her lap.

"What baby?"

"Nothing"

Lauren smiled and kissed Bo.

"Let me get up and clean the kitchen"

"no, leave it"

Lauren could see Bo was upset about something.

"Tell me what else Jonathan said."

"He said he could protect you"

Lauren smiled more.

"Oh"

"What do you think?"

"What do I think?"

"Yeah, what do you think?"

"Umm, it's a possibil….." Lauren didn't even finish her sentence.

Bos eyes got blue and she squeezed Laurens hands, Lauren started laughing strong.

"Don't laugh"

"That's why you are upset all day?"

Bo didn't say anything, she hugged Lauren and rested her head on her chest.

"Aww my baby is jealous again"

"I am not jealous" Lauren smiled again.

"I am not. I am just thinking"

"What?"

"That maybe you want to live another life if you had a chance" Bo said slowly.

Lauren got mad, she got up from Bo and started cleaning the kitchen while Bo was cleaning the table. She didn't answer Bos words. Bo went to lay in bed, while Lauren sat on the couch watching the fire. She then slowly slipped in Bos arms, she kissed her face and said:

"You are the life I want to live"

Bo woke up, Laurens mobile was ringing. Lauren woke up too, it was in the middle of the night.

"I think its Dan or Nick or Jonathan"

"We cant be sure"

"What if they want to warn us?"

Bo didn't let Lauren answer the phone. The phone stopped ringing and then after a couple of minutes a text arrived.

"Its Dan. They know your hiding place. Leave asap"

Bo got up and started dressing up. Lauren was shocked, she didn't want to leave yet, she wanted to stay with Bo like that for a little longer.

"Come on Lauren"

She got up and started getting dressed too. Bo grabbed the phone and took off the card.

"What you want to take with you?"

Lauren only took a couple of clothes and the medicine she needed for her condition.

Bo got the jeep she arrived with, ready. It was snowing heavily. She went back to the house to get Lauren.

"Come on lets go"

Lauren turned and watched for a bit. From now on that's how she was going to live. Running from places. She got inside the car and they left.

Bo was driving for almost half an hour and the weather was getting worse, Lauren was really worried they wont be able to continue with the car. Then they saw lights. They looked at each other. Bo started going faster.

"Bo"

"Its ok Lauren, we would manage to get away"

"Bo they want to kill you"

"I said its ok"

"You know what we have to do"

"NO"

"Please baby"

"NO"

"If they get you they would kill you, we know that"

"They wont get me"

"Please, you cant get away with me and the kids, if we were a day ahead ok, but now they are behind us"

"No" Bos eyes were getting blue.

"Please baby, they would kill you. You have to leave us behind"

"I AM NOT LEAVING YOU"

"You know they wont hurt me or the kids"

"I AM NOT LEAVING YOU"

"You know that's the only solution for us to be as a family, if they kill you what are we going to do, I cant live without you, please, if you escape, you can come and get us and you would be better prepared"

"They would test you and the kids"

"I know, I am a doctor ill protect myself and the kids, you know its our only chance"

"NO, LAUREN NO"

Bo started crying, Lauren placed her hands on Bos neck and took her pendant off.

"You know I belong to you. Just do as I say. Please" She placed the pendant around her neck."

"I CANT DO THIS LAUREN PLEASE, I CANT"

"I am telling you baby, stop the car and run please, you have no chance with us with you, we are keeping you back, you go and prepare and come and get us, we would wait. Please baby, they would kill you and then they would get me and the kids"

Bo finally turned the car inside the forest and away from the road. She stopped. She hugged Lauren, she grabbed her head and kissed her. She hugged her again in her belly.

"I never keep my promises to you"

Bo was crying. Lauren smiled throu her tears.

"I tell you to go baby, you aren't leaving us, I tell you to go"

They kissed again and then Bo opened the door and started running.

Lauren watched her leave again. Run my wild animal run, she heard gunshots and closed her eyes. Then cars and lights around them.

'Please don't let them get her, please God if you exist, don't let them get her"
