A/N: Hi everyone, thanks for continuing to read this story, following it and adding it to your favorites. Your reviews are all incredible. I love reading every one of them so please keep them coming. Let me know what you guys are thinking. A lot of people feel strongly about Lauren and Tamsin. I may be one of the few people but I think Bo shouldn't always get Lauren back so easily. In the past Lauren has had to work on getting Bo back. Also in the show everyone always falls all over the succubus, well I can see why, I can't see why many wouldn't over the hot doctor. My stories are always Lauren centered. As for who she will end up with, read and find out. This story followed the show up to episode 3x10 (with a different twist of course) from there I take it in a different direction. I think you guys will still like it but let me know…


Tamsin became aware of how unbelievably close she was to the human. She couldn't recall when she got so close to the doctor but she was acutely aware of it now. Without giving it another thought she stepped back and walked out the door. The Valkyrie made a bee line for her truck. Getting in she slammed the door shut behind her while she just sat in the passenger seat. I am losing my shit, what the hell is happening to me? In all her lifetimes this was extremely new to her. She didn't make friends yet now she sort of had them. She never dated, however she was completely for one night stands. That's what it was supposed to be just a one night stand. See what the big deal is about humans. So why was it that less than five minutes ago she wanted to pull the hot blonde into a kiss? Of course she did what was natural to her and shot out the door. Screw it not over analyzing this going to Carpe Noctem for a drink.

Lauren stood still for another minute before sighing and locking the door. Drinking clearly is still affecting my cerebrum. To be more exact the frontal lobe part of my cerebrum. It was the only explanation that the scientist could rationalize. In that split second of time she was thinking the dark fae was going to kiss her. What made no sense to her was that she wasn't going to stop it. She concluded that she couldn't have wanted it that badly because there were times when she wanted Bo to kiss her. When the succubus didn't the doctor had no problem making the move. Plus she still loved Bo.

She went upstairs, changed into lounge wear and climbed into bed. Remembering she unplugged her alarm clock she bent over plugging it back in. Lying back down in bed she couldn't help but think about what just happened. It had to be because she was seeing a different side of Tamsin that she never saw before. Like she thought before she clearly misjudged a ton of fae this was likely no different. The older fae had wisdom and knew things even Lauren didn't. Together they made some progress on the cases. Work was a good distraction she didn't cry over Bo for a full five hours. Maybe that was why she was waiting for the Valkyrie to kiss her. It provided another distraction. There was always the thought of what Bo was most likely doing right now with the shifter. Grabbing at her sheets she rolled over drifting off to sleep still trying to analyze herself.

CRACK SHACK – AROUND THE SAME TIME TAMSIN WAS AT LAUREN'S

Bo was sitting on her couch with a glass of red wine in her hand. She had her cell phone out on the table in front of her just in case Lauren did need help with Tamsin. About every five minutes she would pick it up lighting up the phone to make sure it was still working. Or in the event that a text came through that she didn't hear. She was back for an hour but just sent Dyson a text now letting him know she was home. In the text told him the case was good she was back safe and if he didn't want to come by so late she understood. The brunette was now glancing at the text wondering why the hell she said that to him. Her brain was hurting from all the thinking she was doing recently. This was her grandfather's thing or Lauren's thing but not hers. She was more run to the battle and fight type of girl. Lauren, simply thinking her name made Bo check her phone again.

The succubus heard movement by her front door. Quietly she got off the couch grabbing her dagger. When the door swung open and Dyson came in she dropped her fighting stance. "You scared the crap out of me. I could've killed you," she went back over to the couch falling back into it.

He smiled at his girl. "Your text was a little vague. I'm home safe you don't have to come if you don't want to. Why wouldn't I want to?" The shifter had a feeling he knew the answer. At this point he wasn't so sure Bo did. Hell he wasn't even sure if he wanted to accept it. He made a decision that he was going to give this relationship a true shot. If Bo wasn't seeing what he was thinking maybe he was wrong. Until she called it quits he was going to give it his all. Last time he gave up his love unintentionally and constantly wondered what could have or would have been. Would she have even given Lauren a chance? The wolf knew it was a question he was never going to get an answer to.

Bo forced a half smile at him. She wasn't mad at him it was just tonight she felt more exhausted than usual. She didn't want to upset him or hurt his feelings. "I just didn't know the kind of day you had. Don't want to be that overbearing girlfriend that demands you be at my side every minute of the day." I know I wasn't. The brunette was taken aback at the thought that popped into her head. Without even thinking it just came right through her mind.

"Bo every spare minute I have is yours. You know that. You've always known that." Dyson wanted to believe that was true but he knew something felt different. This wasn't the same Bo he dated a couple of years ago. It was possible her Dawning did change her. He sat next to her, "How was your case."

She was staring into her glass of red wine when she heard him ask the question. "Bitches were witches so you know typical case for me and Kenzi." Dyson gave his small laugh as he looked around the place, "Where is Kenzi," it just dawned on him now that the small human was not there. Bo turned her head facing him, "You don't talk to your old partner much anymore do you?" The shifter flashed his smile, "Probably not as much as I should. I will make a point to visiting him. What does he have to do with Kenzi?"

Bo put her hand on his shoulder, "Oh you stupid foolish boy. The Ash apologized for blowing Kenzi off these past few months. Told her what a jack ass he was, which he was, and told her how he truly felt about her." For once she was the one who got to inform him on something he didn't know. "Of course after our psychotic episode of adventures in babysitting I dropped her off at the compound so they could spend more time together."

Dyson dropped his hand on Bo's thigh as he moved it up slowly leaning into to her. "That means we have the place all to ourselves?"

What the hell doesn't hurt to feed? Maybe it'll help clear my head on whatever the hell is going on inside it. I should make an appointment with the doctor. No, no more thinking of Lauren tonight. "Yup all to ourselves, you wouldn't have any ideas of what to do with this alone time do you?" With that Dyson scooped her up and carried her up the stairs.

CARPE NOCTEM

Tamsin pushed her way through the over populated club getting close to the bar. She got the bartenders attention and order whiskey straight. The Valkyrie turned back around to watch the crowd at the club. All she could think was how pathetic everyone looked. At almost every part of the club someone was trying to impress someone else. Either with the expensive bottle of liquor they bought for their table or with some idiotic dance moves.

"Looky looky lue the notorious Valkyrie shows up at my club for a drink. Has the group affected you to love?" Vex appeared from her right side. Naturally Tamsin rolled her eyes, "I thought you jumped off a cliff or something like that."

Vex slid next to her, "Now is that nice? Coming to my place and insulting me? And here I was going to give you free rounds." He noticed the blonde was slightly quieter than usual. "It is them isn't it? The succubus got to you too then?"

"She did, it was for a frigging second. Followed her to Brazenwood, really I just wanted to see if she was going to get her ass kicked. Shockingly she didn't. I kissed her, no clue why, and that ship thankfully sailed." She took a huge sip of her whiskey, "Didn't want to make the triangle a square."

"Yeah she does that. Just when you think the sexubus is going to fall hard on her ass she shocks us all and prevails. It's what she does love." Vex thought about it for a second, "How is she doing with her human lover? Did she drain the poor doctor dry yet because I actually like those humans in the sex machines life? They grow on you. I can't even look at them as food anymore." At the mention of Lauren Tamsin finished the drink and ordered another one. It didn't go unnoticed by the Mesmer. Instead he waited for her to respond.

"The succubus had her Dawning. Of course she passed why wouldn't she. Found out wolf boy had his love back so she left the doc." The whole time she spoke she never once faced Vex instead she kept her eyes on the crowd in the club. "Some shit about wanting to find out what could've been since she still had love for him. Boring crap I didn't really listen. Do I look like a therapist?"

"Yeah a regular Dr. Kevorkian you are," he said with a laughing snare. "What brings you to my place?" She didn't respond instead she held up the glass of whiskey. "Well love than you enjoy all the drinks you want." Vex let the bartender know that all of Tamsin's drink were on the house. "Don't let anyone know I'm here yet." With that Vex disappeared into the crowd.

"Can't even come to this club and enjoy a drink by myself," the Valkyrie mumbled to herself. Tamsin stayed at the club for another two hours before she finally left. She lost count of how many drinks she had in that time but it didn't matter. Her head was still all screwed up with things she couldn't grasp. She slipped behind the steering wheel of her pickup and started up the engine. The blonde fae had no idea where she was going but she wasn't staying in this parking lot.

Lauren's eyes fluttered open. The doctor could have sworn she just heard something downstairs. Staying perfectly still she waited. Then she heard it, someone was knocking on her door. She rolled over and glanced at the clock. It was almost 4am, who the hell would be banging on her door at that time. The human felt under her bed wrapping her hands around the baseball bat she kept there. She crept down the stairs towards her door, "Who is it?" She called out as she stood by the door. Lauren tightened her grip on the bat as she saw the door knob turning. The door whipped open as the Valkyrie was standing in the door way. She raised one eyebrow when she saw the human with the bat, "Really?"

For the second time in a 24 hour period Tamsin had the doctor putting her hand over her heart as she caught her breath. "Tamsin, what are you doing here?" The Valkyrie kept focused on the doctor as she moved towards her, "What I should have done before." Confusion was written all over the doctor's face, "What was that?"

"This," as she stepped in front of the human grabbing the sides of her face as she pulled her into a deep kiss. Feeling her tongue slip into the doctor's mouth as she slowly opened it allowing the Valkyrie entrance. She felt the doctor's arms slide around her neck as the human pulled her closer.

Tamsin shot back in her pickup truck banging her head on the back of the front seat. "Shit," the older fae muttered. She looked around realizing she was in Carpe Noctem's parking lot still. Apparently she fell asleep in her truck. Glancing at the clock the time displayed 4am. "You've got to be kidding me," she said at the irony of the time in her dream.

THE NEXT MORNING

Bo was awake when Dyson got up and got ready for work yet she pretended to be asleep. She really had no idea what was getting into her lately. All she wanted for the longest time was for Dyson to get his love back. Her best friend risked her life making sure that happened. The wolf never said anything to her. He could have he knew before she was with Lauren. He knew before they fought the Garuda. At any point he could have told her but he didn't. No, Dyson had to wait for her Dawning to tell her. As if the whole Dawning thing wasn't confusing enough for her.

Why was Lauren a cop and Dyson the doctor? Did that mean she wanted Lauren to be the one who loved her for life that she was in the long haul for? And Dyson was the one who was the filler until that time? Or did it mean she saw Lauren as the one drugging her trying to curb her fae nature? There was wayyyy to many questions in the succubus's head. She decided she would have to make a stop at her grandfather's pub later.

The worst part is last night when she was with Dyson she kept thinking of Lauren. How different Lauren's kisses were. How intense they felt. With just her lips against hers the need to feel her in every way was so much the brunette felt like she couldn't breathe. Sex with Dyson was good he could sustain her but like she said to the human sex with her was epic. Even though she couldn't sustain her Lauren knew all the right places to touch. It made her sick to her stomach knowing that she got through being intimate with Dyson by picturing her ex. If he knew that, she sat up in bed as she brought her knees to her chest. She wrapped her arms around her legs and buried her face in her knees. If he knew what she was thinking last night what would he think of her? Worst yet she couldn't even say she regretted it. She was right maybe she was the monster she always feared she was.

POLICE STATION

Dyson was at work sitting behind his desk gazing over some of the cases they were working on. The wolf was in a very good mood. His night went a hell of lot better than he was expecting. Apparently he did over react to the way Bo was with Tamsin because last night was the wildest sex he had with her to date. Obviously she was concerned with the dark fae being alone with the human like they all were. Speaking of the Valkyrie he looked at the clock; Tamsin was already an hour late. The shifter picked up the phone dialing her number yet again. He turned his head as he heard the ringing behind him. "You look like shit," he said as he scanned her appearance.

"You always look like shit. I just thought I would return the favor." Tamsin was exhausted she barely slept after that dream. Again she wasn't one to analyze but she didn't have to. The doctor was growing on her. At this moment she was pretty sure she was hating herself. Becoming like the light fae having friends thinking of someone. It was irritating and not like her. She had to take this case.

The wolf sniffed the air by Tamsin. "Were you drinking?" He couldn't believe she would show up at a police station as an officer drunk. The smell of alcohol was strong on the blonde. Tamsin as always rolled her eyes. "That wolf nose of yours is getting on my last nerve." She leaned on his desk, "And I was drinking hours ago."

"Oh well then that makes it all better. We got a lead on a case so we need to go check it out." Dyson grabbed the case file as he picked up his jacket. Looking back he saw Tamsin was still leaning against his desk. He strolled back over placing his hand behind her back pushing her onto her feet. "There you go, one foot in front of the other. See learning to walk is easy."

She punched him in the arm. He grinned as he rubbed it. The blonde glared at him, "Don't annoy me today. I won't be nice." This caused a chuckle from the shifter, "You mean you consider your normal personality nice?" Tamsin was walking in front of him already. Turning her head towards Dyson she called back, "You really want to find out?"

He somehow managed to get them to the crime scene even with Tamsin shuffling around behind him. It was another dead fae with an unexplainable death. She leaned over the body, "A dead rusalka. I haven't seen one in years." Tamsin kneeled beside the body across from Dyson. Both were looking trying to see if they could find the cause of death. The wolf glanced up at his partner, "Looks like we are bringing Lauren her first body to examine in her new lab." The Valkyrie became rigid at the sound of the doctors name. "Both of us," she asked as she kept her eyes on the body.

The shifter debated this. Maybe it wasn't a good idea that he sees Lauren. He didn't want her to feel bad at seeing him. Then again the doctor was always professional and he would be to. He had to admit his curiosity was getting the best of him. The wolf really wanted to know what was going on between the human and his partner. What better way to find out then to see them interacting. Just by their body reactions to each other he would be able to tell if there was more going on with them then a one night stand. Dyson pulled out his phone to call and let them know they were coming in with a body.

The partners pulled into the new compound right as the body was arriving. Dyson and Tamsin escorted the body down the hallways to the new medical facility. He observed Tamsin's reaction to seeing the doctor. They didn't push through the doors yet but he saw the dark fae take in a deep breath. So she does like the human. This works for me as long as she is good to Lauren. The shifter hated to admit it but the human doctor has grown on him. She was good to Bo when they were together. He spoke with Hale that morning and found out that his former partner freed the doctor. The Ash also made a point to let him know how many times Lauren has saved the fae's asses. Dyson had to admit it was true. Weak, simple, fragile human put herself in danger many times for this group. If Tamsin was going to hurt her he would intervene but if not it wasn't his place. The idea of Lauren being with anyone other than Bo was something he was extremely happy about.

Dyson opened both doors so they could push in the stretcher. Lauren was engrossed in her work and didn't notice the two. The wolf noticed Tamsin, she hasn't been able to peel her eyes off the doctor since she saw her. The shifter cleared his throat causing Lauren to spin around. When she saw Dyson a wave of emotions hit her. There was a part of her that wanted to scream and yell at him. On the other side of that she knew it wasn't his fault. Bo chose not him. Yet there was still a part of her that felt he didn't have to let Bo know how he felt. He didn't have to be so noble offering to die as her hand at the Dawning. Knowing the succubus would never have let any of her friends die for her. Bo had a huge heart even if she could be a stubborn child.

This was her place of work and she was going to keep it professional. Dyson was light fae and now she was an employee of the Light. She was there main doctor and scientist. They were going to be crossing paths many times. She needed to not blame him as much as she wanted to. It was easier to blame him. In her heart she knew that it was Bo that broke her heart not Dyson. She would always hold a small part of him responsible even with the knowledge. When she was finally able to stop scrutinizing Dyson she noticed the Valkyrie. The doctor couldn't help but gaze at those eyes. Those hypnotizing eyes, she remembered looking at them so many times last night. The memory played through her mind of them sitting on her couch as they went over cases and how it turned out to be an unexpected good time. This also turned out to be the perfect and much needed distraction.

Hitting her that she had been quiet this whole time she finally found her voice. "I didn't hear you guys come in. Was there something you needed?" Dyson watched all of this. The awkwardness his partner had towards Lauren. He watched Lauren take in the dark fae. The way the two didn't really know how to act around each other. Clearly the two were starting to develop some sort of feelings for each other. Even if they weren't strong they were there. They were in the beginning stages but there nonetheless.

"I brought you a present," Tamsin answered as she pulled open the body bag. "Looks like we got another case to go over tonight Lauren," the Valkyrie stated nonchalantly as she looked from the doctor to the rusalka. The wolf heard the blonde fae use the doctor's name. He knew she normally called her doc. "Lauren, if you have the time can you look into the cause of death." The shifter spoke softly to her.

Lauren was already scanning over the body. As Tamsin opened the bag the doctor was already putting gloves on. "A Rusalka, in this area, this is virtually unheard of," the doctor was talking to herself as she examined the body. Dyson lightly touched her arm causing her to glance up at him. "Congratulations on your freedom Lauren. You have truly earned it. You have been a great asset to the Light we owe a lot of victories to you." She knew Dyson meant what he said and that he was being polite. "Thank you Dyson," was all the human managed to get out.

The Valkyrie was surprised at this news. "Congratulations. Guess I should bring some of that red wine you like to drink when I come by tonight." Lauren contemplated what the dark fae said. "Yeah that would be nice. Make it 8:30 now that you gave me this new case." She gave the Valkyrie a half smile. More distractions were exactly what the doctor needed. Tamsin nodded, "See you then." Her and Dyson were about to leave the room when she called over her shoulder, "Later doc."

As they strolled down the halls Dyson eyed the Valkyrie. She didn't turn but she felt him watching her. "What wolf," she spat out. He grinned at her as he did his best to imitate his partner's voice, "See you later Lauren. I'll bring the wine you like. I'm like a school girl with a crush." The dark fae stepped in front of her partner's path as she put her hand on his chest. "One, you're an asshole. Two, I don't sound like that and three, I'm not the pathetic puppy that follows Bo around like a homeless dog begging the new owner to take him in. Don't mess with me dog." She didn't like being made fun of especially when she didn't even know what the hell she was thinking. The wolf still was grinning, "Okay I won't say anything else about you and the doctor." The shifter let it go knowing it was a touchy subject.

CRACK SHACK

Kenzi just got home. She threw her bag down on the kitchen counter not even noticing the succubus sitting on the couch. The goth was too busy paying attention to the text on her phone. "Hey Kenz," Bo said from where she was sitting. "Holy shit," Kenzi jumped in the air as she dropped her phone. "Bo-bo what the hell you scared the crap out of me." The small human saw the hurt in her friend's eyes. She quickly went over to her. "Wait this looks like a tequila occasion let me get it. Then throw it at me." She ran into the kitchen still talking to her best friend. "Is it Dyson, do I have to take him to get neutered? I'll do it myself." Kenzi poured them each shots of tequila as she sat on an angle on the couch so the succubus could talk to her. Bo locked eyes with Kenzi, "Kenz, what if I made a huge mistake?"
