A/N: Get ready cause the Doccubaby dreams are here! It's short but it's cute.
"You sure you wanna do this babe?" Lauren asks cautiously as she watches Bo look through suitable sperm donors.
The women had decided that after twelve tears of marriage it was time to hear the puttering of little feet around the house. They had already witnessed Kenzi and Hale welcome their first child seven years ago and they've been yearning for a child of their own, so here they were.
Lauren personally wanted to adopt a baby because she knew what the system did to children. If she could help it she would adopt but Bo insisted on looking through everything thoroughly. This of course surprised both women because Lauren was the one to over analyze and plan, and Bo was the one to jump head first into situations. This time the tables were turned.
So as they sit in the lobby of the sperm bank flipping through a binder full of different men with different body types, health issues and personalities they couldn't help but talk about baby names and all the possibilities that could happen.
"I've never been so sure of anything in my life." The brunette said with a content smile and gave the blonde a quick peck on the lips. "But in all honesty I'm not feeling any of these donors." Bo looks down at the book and back up at her wife, "How about you?"
Lauren shrugs, "You know of rather adopt anyways so if you can't find anyone in there then I'd be happy to go to an orphanage."
Bo sighs with a small smile, "I wish there was a way for it to be our baby with both of our DNA. I'd love to have a little boy Lauren running around the house."
The blonde raises an eyebrow with a smile, "A boy? I want a girl that looks like my stubborn wife and has her heart."
"I am not stubborn." Bo says with a fake pout.
The blonde laughs, "Of course that's all you hear." she jokes and looks around the room at the different couples before looking back at Bo with a smirk, "Wanna blow this popsicle stand?" she asks.
Bo hold down a giggle and nods her head, "Spring forth malady." she says with a terrible English accent making Lauren laugh.
"You're silly." the blonde says as they stand.
"But you love me." Bo says and snakes her arm around Lauren's waist as they walk out.
The blonde just nods, "That I do."
A few weeks later the two women were attending the first of their many appointments with local adoption agencies. They were beyond excited and couldn't wait to hear what the woman had to say. That is until she actually started ask them questions.
"So," the woman started. Her name tag said Sandy and she had ash blonde hair with dull green eyes. Kind of old teacher maid kind of woman. "who's going to act as a father?"
Bo chuckles softly and shakes her head, "You do know that were lesbians right?"
Sandy shakes her head, "That I do but I was just wondering how you were going to bring your child up in the world without a father figure."
The blonde scoffs, "Well Bo honey you seem mainly enough to me. You go to work at the station all day, put yourself in harms way to protect the city and you got a mean right hook." she looks at Sandy, "From what I've seen at least."
Bo laughs and nudges Lauren playfully, "What does a father figure have to do with raising a kid?"
"Well," the woman starts and folds her arms across her chest, "every child has to have a make influence in their lives. Especially the boys. We can't have our young men being raised by only women I mean who's going to teach him how to play football?"
"Bo." Lauren says.
"And who's going to teach him about girls."
"Lauren." Bo states.
"And who is going to help him learn how to start a family?"
"Us." they say in unison with straight faces.
"Look, Sandy," Bo starts and Lauren can tell that a rant could be approaching, "I didn't grow up with a father and neither did my best friend. She just got married ten years ago and her and her husband had a son seven years ago. Now don't get me wrong my bestie does have some issues in the male department but her father abandoning her, like most of the parents did to these kids here, didn't stop her from growing up and becoming the strong woman she is today." the brunette takes a breath, "As for me, my father died when I was nine and other than missing him dearly there's not a thing wrong with me."
"But you're gay." Sandy says I'm confusion.
Lauren looks from Bo to Sandy with wide eyes and she can practically see the steam pouring out of Bo's ears but before she could say anything Lauren stopped her and stood.
"You know what Sandy, Thank you for all of your help but my wife and I refuse to sit here and listen to a bigoted woman tell us that our family is less than a straight couples just because here's no man. These kids here are starving to be loved and nurtured and cared for but all you can focus on is the gender of the parents. Shame on you. Shame on you for depriving them of the love they deserve." and with that Lauren grabbed Bo's hand hand pulled her out of the office and to the car.
"Bitch." Bo groans and slams the passenger door once she inside the car.
Lauren sighs and places her hand over her wife's thigh, "I know baby but that's just a sign telling us that this isn't the agencies. We just have to keep looking okay?"
The brunette looks over at her wife and smiles before cupping her cheek, "We'll find our baby."
"We will."
