Characters aren't mine. I've taken the liberties I wanted for the storyline, but the characters belong to Showcase and Lost Girl.
No plot. Just a continuation of the Valentine's Day fluff…like I said…I'm a sucker for this holiday and I just wanted to do something fun and mindless. I may do something similar in my 52 weeks story at a later point, but for now, it works best here =)
Thanks for sticking around and I really appreciate you taking the time to read! Enjoy!
Chapter 19
The morning sun bled through the curtains lighting up the room with bright rays of light and causing the doctor to groan and roll over to bury her head under the pillow. She reached out for the Valkyrie but when she felt cold sheets next to her she sat up with a start.
"Tamsin?"
Lauren looked around in confusion as she took in her surroundings and the events of the previous night came back to her. Tamsin entered the room carrying what looked like a pot of coffee and two mugs. She smiled at Lauren as she poured the dark liquid and handed her a steaming hot cup.
"Mmm thank you…"
Lauren smiled as she breathed in the delicious liquid before blowing lightly and taking a sip. Tamsin sat next to her quietly and smiled as she drank her own coffee and the doctor returned the action as she enjoyed the peaceful quiet. After a few minutes of silence Lauren reached out and took Tamsin's hand as she played with her fingers softly.
"Morning…"
Tamsin smiled softly. "Morning. Sleep well?"
Lauren laughed. "Too well, forgot where I was."
Tamsin smirked. "Well I don't know what to say about that but, good, glad you got some rest."
Lauren smiled and nodded. "What time do we have to head back today?"
Tamsin glanced at the clock. "Whenever. There is one thing I wanted to show you before we leave though."
Lauren looked interested and gave Tamsin a curious look. "What is it?"
Tamsin rolled her eyes. "Patience and all that doc. Now get dressed and let's have breakfast first."
Lauren laughed and nodded as she crawled out of bed to miraculously find a set of her clothes for her to wear. Tamsin waited for her to get dressed and the pair walked downstairs hand in hand making Lauren's stomach flutter as she felt like a schoolgirl having a date with her first real crush.
Back at the clubhouse
"Kenzi?"
The petite human walked into the kitchen area and burst out laughing at the scene in front of her. Bo was covered from head to toe in flour and there were quite a few batches of what looked like burnt cookies. Kenzi carefully picked up a dark brown cookie and raised an eyebrow as she tapped it against the counter. She gave Bo a concerned look. "Uh sugar plum. Whatcha doin?"
Bo smiled. "I'm making cookies."
Kenzi raised an eyebrow. "I see that…why?"
Bo rolled her eyes. "I know I'm a bit late, but I wanted to make us something special for Valentine's Day."
Kenzi set the cookie down carefully. "Oookay…well they look…great?"
Bo laughed at her surprised face. "Not those noob." Bo reached into the oven and pulled out what looked like actually edible cookies. She put the tray on the cooling rack and smiled over at Kenzi who looked surprised.
"Well, those look good. But I'm curious…what's with the Martha Stewart routine?"
Bo shrugged. "Since you and I both didn't have valentine's this year I thought we could make our own special day."
Kenzi laughed and nodded as she reached for a still hot cookie and picked it off the hot pan with a smile. She was happy Bo wasn't moping around since Lauren and Tamsin had been busy doing their own thing for the romantic day and she hoped this new and improved Bo was truly happy. Kenzi bit into the cookie and grimaced slightly at the heat and well…the taste. Even though Bo's personality was happy go lucky for now, Kenzi hoped she ended the cooking spree otherwise they might not make it to next year.
Back in Montreal
"Come on…"
Tamsin pulled Lauren along as they made their way through the estate grounds. The snow was about two feet high and the doctor was struggling to make it through the slush since she didn't have the greatest footwear on. Tamsin rolled her eyes as she seemed to glide through the snow and Lauren wondered for a second if it was due to her Fae DNA that the snow had little impact on her ability to move around. They crossed over a large hill and when they got to the top Tamsin stopped and looked down at the area in front of them with a smile.
"Ever done this?"
Lauren looked down and smiled. There was a large lake just beyond on where they were standing and it appeared to be completely frozen over. With the horrible winter they've been having Lauren was confident that the lake was sturdy enough to hold them and she laughed as she shook her head.
"No, I've lived in the city my whole life."
Tamsin beamed as she motioned for Lauren to climb on her back and she made her way down the hill gracefully with the light weight of Lauren's body barely registering on her strong frame. At the bottom Tamsin led them over to what appeared to be a concrete bench on the edge of the lake and Tamisn opened a bag that was placed there and set out a towel for Lauren to sit on. She pulled out two pairs of skates and Lauren laughed as Tamsin slipped hers on expertly and turned to help Lauren with hers. They were hockey style skates and Lauren wasn't sure she would be able to keep her balance on the thin blades.
"So how do you know how to do this?"
Tamsin raised an eyebrow. "I spent a few of my lifetimes in various places, one of which was Norway. We had a lot of time to practice."
She winked at Lauren as she stood up and took a step onto the ice carefully before turning and gliding over the ice, testing its integrity to ensure they wouldn't hit any soft spots. Lauren watched in awe as Tamsin moved easily across the ice and she was impressed at how athletic Tamsin was. The Valkyrie skid to a stop at the edge where Lauren was and held out her hand. "Okay come on…your turn."
Lauren stood up shakily and took a hesitant step towards Tamsin almost falling in the process. Tamsin held her up and laughed as she pulled the doctor onto the hard surface. Tamsin put her hands on Lauren's waist to steady her and she motioned for Lauren to put her hands on her shoulders for support.
"Ready?"
Lauren nodded hesitantly and Tamsin pushed off backwards bringing the doctor with her slowly. Lauren's face was one of complete surprise and concern and Tamsin laughed as she began a slow turn. "It helps if you relax doc. You know, like most things…"
She winked at Lauren who rolled her eyes and laughed as she nodded. She took a deep breath and tried to relax as the taller blonde led them around the lake. Tamsin slowed them to a stop and she leaned down for a soft kiss before releasing Lauren and giving her a smirk.
Lauren had just started to wrap her arms tighter around Tamsin when she felt the woman pull away. "Hey…"
Tamsin laughed and started skating backwards again. "You want me? Come and get me."
She continued slowly backing up making sure she was close enough to help Lauren if she really did slip and fall but far enough were Lauren had to move to reach her. Lauren struggled at first to move forward and Tamsin's laughter didn't help her self-consciousness as she was certain there were toddlers who skated better than her, but finally she seemed to get her footing under her and with one hard push off she managed to grab the outstretched hand of the Valkyrie.
Tamsin pulled her close once Lauren was able to grab her and she smiled down at the shorter woman. "Very good doctor. Guess you really want me huh?"
Lauren laughed and smacked Tamsin slightly causing her to lose her own balance for a second and the Valkyrie laughed as she steadied the human doctor. Tamsin just smirked as she leaned down and kissed Lauren again letting her deepen the kiss and wrap her arms around her neck. Without warning Tamsin reached down and grabbed Lauren's legs to lift her up and Lauren squealed a bit as she wrapped her legs around Tamsin's waist and was moved around the lake at a much faster speed. Tamsin had an evil smile on her face as she sped up and started moving at a smooth pace around the lake causing the woman in her arms to tighten her grip with her arms and legs on her body. Lauren laughed as Tamsin goofily led them around the lake for a bit before coming to a stop and setting her down gently.
"You're crazy…"
Tamsin rolled her eyes. "Yeah I've heard that before."
Lauren smiled and leaned up for another kiss. "And I kind of love it."
Tamsin blushed slightly and nipped at Lauren's lip before maneuvering out of her grasp again leaving the human to try and chase her around the lake again. Tamsin showed off a bit as she skated circles around the doctor and when Lauren finally did fall hard on the ice Tamsin scrambled to make sure she was okay before leading her over to the concrete bench so she could sit down. Lauren smiled as Tamsin fussed over her a bit making sure she wasn't seriously injured and the doctor got the warm and fuzzies as Tamisn carefully inspected her leg and arm to make sure there were no injuries.
"Well doc, when you do something you do it right…"
Tamisn smiled down at Lauren who was sitting there with a bright smile on her face and nodded her head towards the big wet spot on Lauren's jeans and jacket from where she fell. Lauren looked down and laughed and nodded her own head in agreement. Tamsin took off their skates and helped Lauren put her shoes back on before pouring them some hot chocolate from a thermos that was in the bag of tricks she'd had Bruce set up for them. The pair sat there drinking the warm liquid and laughing over Lauren's clumsiness and Tamsin's athletic prowess. All in all it was a great weekend and Lauren knew it was probably the most memorable holiday she'd ever have.
So like I said…just more fluff because I was in the mood LOL. Let me know what you thought and thanks for reading!
