"Two Is Better Than One"
"I'm nervous," Bo said, her hand clutching Lauren's. They had been in this Fae clinic's waiting room for about 45 minutes and the more they waited the more Bo was getting anxious.
"Don't worry Bo, Courtney is a great doctor, I've known her for years." Lauren assured her and put her free hand on Bo's arm. "Everything's gonna be okay."
Bo sighed. "I suck, I should be the one comforting you. I'm sorry."
"It's okay sweetie. We're in this together." Lauren reminded to Bo and smiled at her.
"Lauren Dennis, Room 301," a voice announced in the speaker.
"It's us," Bo said, feeling her anxiety rise up even again.
The couple walked to the office hands in hands and the doctor welcomed them in. "Hi Lauren, nice to see you again." Courtney said to Lauren and then turned to Bo and shook her hand. "And you must be Bo. Hi, Lauren told me so much about you, it's nice to finally put a face to the name. Please make yourself comfortable." Bo thanked her and hung her leather jacket on the hanger next to the door. "Now I'll give you five minutes to change into that gown. I'll be right back." The doctor nicely instructed and left the office.
"She sounds nice," Bo said once Courtney was out of the room.
"She is indeed." Lauren began to remove her shirt and struggled. Her body and her breast especially had taken expansion and her clothes were starting to be too small. "Could you help me?"
"Of course." Lauren lifted her arms and Bo pulled the shirt off. Bo took a glance of her wife's beautiful body and her slightly round stomach. She looked into Lauren's eyes and sighed happily. "You are beautiful," she said before kissing her passionately. She pulled their lips apart without creating too much space between them and whispered, "You still have me breathless every time I see you." She put another kiss on her lips and stepped back to fold Lauren's shirt and put it on the table. Meanwhile, Lauren undid her pants and put on the gown.
The doctor knocked on the door a minute later and came in. "Alright, now Lauren you can lie down on the table," She said and Lauren laid down. Bo sat on a chair by her side and held her hand tightly in hers. Courtney applied some cool gel on the small bulge of Lauren's stomach. Lauren looked at Bo and Bo gave her a brave smile. The doctor moved the device around Lauren's belly until she found what she was looking for. A picture appeared on the screen, one that Bo could was unable to comprehend, but Lauren exactly what was going on. Courtney looked at Lauren with a smile on her face. "Wanna tell her?"
Lauren nodded and looked at Bo with her eyes glowing. "We're having twins," the blonde announced and stretched her arms to put a hand on Bo's cheek.
"We're having twins?!" Bo repeated in disbelief. She looked at the screen again.
"This is the head and body of baby #1," Courtney pointed and traced the figure on the screen. "And this is baby #2"
"Oh my god we're having twins!" Bo exclaimed and looked at Lauren whose eyes had begun to well. The doctor congratulated them and asked if they wanted to know the sexes. The couple nodded in unison.
"You will be the proud mothers of a girl and a boy," the doctor told them.
"Charlotte and Ethan," Bo whispered to herself. Lauren heard and kissed the top of her hand.
"How are they? Any abnormality? Are you able to tell if they are more Fae or human?" Lauren asked quickly.
"Both are very healthy. As for anything related to their magic, it's too soon to tell. You are the first human that I encounter that mated with a Succubus, so the possibilities could be endless. You may experience something that could suggest about their powers along the pregnancy, but other than that you'll just have to wait and see," The doctor explained.
"Great, thank you for everything Courtney," Lauren said and Bo thanked her as well.
"It's my pleasure, now get home and enjoy that free time while you can alright," Courtney stood up and escorted them to the door.
Once they got home, Bo insisted that Lauren sits down while she made dinner for the both of them. Having low culinary skills, the brunette settled for pesto pasta and garlic bread. Twenty minutes later their meal were ready and Bo joined her wife on the floor next to the sofa with the plates.
Lauren took a bite of the pasta and moaned in appreciation. "This is delicious Bo, I should let you cook more often," Lauren said with a smile and sunk her teeth in the soft bread.
"I was thinking of buying some book on cooking and start making food for the babies once they are born." Bo admitted and looked down, thinking it was maybe a bad idea considering how bad she was in the kitchen.
"That's a great idea Bo!" Lauren eyes lit up. "I could do this with you if you'd like. It could be a fun thing to together."
Bo squeezed Lauren's hand and smiled back. Once they finished their meals, she put her empty plate on Lauren's and turned to her, sitting with her legs on each side of her wife's hips. With the tip of thumb, Bo wiped delicately away the small residue of food left on her lips, biting her own as she did. Lauren blushed a little and Bo pressed her lips on blonde.
Lauren pulled back and frowned. "I must taste like garlic, sorry."
"It's okay, I don't mind I do too." Bo chuckled and entwined their fingers. "I wanted to ask you, you never told me why you wanted to name our children Charlotte and Ethan. Is there a story behind it or did you just like the names?" Bo asked softly.
"There is a story, actually, nothing really big though," Lauren told her and continued. "When I served in Afghanistan there were those siblings, a little boy and a girl. They were about 7 or 8 years old and their parents had died in a bombing. We were really far away from the city and couldn't take them to an orphanage right away so they stayed with us for a few days. They would follow me around everywhere and ask question on what I was doing." Lauren took a pause and Bo waited for her to continue. "Those were the hardest 6 months of my life, and in the midst of everything horrible that was happening, they still managed to make me smile and give me some hope."
"Wow, this is amazing, what happened to them? Did they find a home?"
"Charlotte had a disease and she died 2 months later. As for the boy, I never heard of him again." Lauren said, sadly trying to force back the tears in her glassy brown eyes.
"Oh Lauren… I'm so sorry," Bo said softly and caressed her cheek. Bo desperately tried not to imagine all the horrible things went through out there as I only mad her sad and angry. She wanted to erase the awful memories from her lover's mind, to hold the blonde and never leave her embrace.
"If you don't like the names we could always change them, I don't mind. I just thought that—"
"Absolutely not," Bo protested and then placed her hand on Lauren's stomach. "These are Charlotte and Ethan in there, no one else."
"You are amazing you know that?" Lauren said and rested her forehead on Bo's
"Yes I am," Bo joked in a familiar fashion. "But not as amazing as you."
"Ugh come here and kiss my garlic mouth now." Lauren whispered with her sweet voice. "Thank god I married a succubus and not a vampire," Lauren laughed and crushed her lips on Bo's.
"You chose wisely."
"I did indeed."
A/N: The ultrasound was a good idea, thanks for those who suggested it! I'm glad I can entertain you, even if just a little while we're waiting for our Doccubus to come back on our screen. Also, I'm really sorry if I make mistake or some sentence are weird—I'm doing what I can with English not being my first language and having no beta :/
