A/N: Okay, next one. Enjoy!


Chapter 7: Miracle

Lauren's Old Apartment

As soon as they were all done with their baths, the kids fell asleep very quickly. JJ especially, since he'd had such a tiring and exciting day with his Uncle. So, Lauren decided to pour herself a much-needed glass of wine and laced it with a few drops of blood from one of the bottles Bo provided her with. She didn't know why, but Bo's blood tasted better than anyone else's.

Weird.

She laid on the couch, remembering all the times she spent in this apartment. It felt like a million years ago now. Her nights away from being stuck at the hospital. Her nights with Liv. Oddly, she felt bad for thinking about her. Like she was cheating on Bo somehow. Suddenly, she heard a strange ringtone coming from her left.

Getting up, she followed it. And came to a stop when she saw the computer screen light up. Someone was trying to call her on a video link. It couldn't have been Travis. He wasn't that smart. So, she sat down on her chair and clicked answer. When Bo's smile appeared, Lauren was baffled.

"There's that smile…" Bo spoke first. "… I hate not seeing it when I come home. I know this isn't something I normally do, but Kenzi suggested I try it. And it's better than a phone call, right?" she chuckled.

"Sure is-" Before Lauren could even start a conversation, she heard Cami's whimpering coming from the baby monitor. "… Hang on. I'll be right back!" she left Bo's view, and when she came back minutes later; she sat down with Cami in tow. "She's been fussing ever since you left. I really thought she'd sleep though" she sat her down.

But as soon as Cami saw Bo's face, she started smiling and tried to crawl onto the desk. She wanted so badly to touch the screen; hoping it was a portal to her home so she could see her Mother.

Bo touched the screen on her end, as Cami placed her tiny hand on the other side. "I miss you too baby girl, but you've gotta sleep…" she felt like she was talking to a wall. "… Yeah, like you can really understand what I'm saying" she sighed, laughing.

"Well, she's aware when you're gone; maybe she understands more than we realise…" Lauren managed to get Cami to sit down on her lap, but she kept smiling at Bo's face. God help her when it finally came time to say goodbye. "… So, what's this call in aid of? Not that I don't love seeing you" she let Cami play with her hands.

"Uh, I just wanted to see you. Being without you and the rugrats is driving me a little crazy, truth be told. Also, after I got off the phone with you earlier; Travis called. He's really not happy about the whole 'hide and seek' thing. He tried to goad me but, I just let it go over my head" Bo said.

Lauren frowned, "How exactly did he goad you?"

"He said a bunch of crap about Aife, and what she thinks about me. Nothing I didn't already know…" Bo shrugged, laughing. "… And before you ask; yes, I'm fine. There's nothing he can say about her that'll matter to me. She made her choice" she was done talking about it.

One thing was puzzling Lauren though, "Yeah, she did. Bo, can I ask you something? All the times I used to bring up your Mom when we were growing up; you always talked about how much you missed her. By that time, you must've already known the truth. So, why did you miss her so much?" She'd always wondered that, even more so now that she knew the reason for her Mother's departure.

And Bo was happy to tell her the answer. "It wasn't her I missed…" she said. "… Even after my Dad told me the truth; I kept the lie he told me about her, alive in my head. I missed the Mom she should've been. Letting myself hate her, would've made me bitter and I didn't want that to rub off on Kenzi" everything she did, she did for the people she loved.

That made Lauren smile, "Kenzi's lucky to have you for a big sister…" she looked down at Cami who was rubbing her eyes tiredly. "… I hope JJ and Cami have the same relationship when they're older" that meant everything to her.

Bo was watching her little girl through the screen. And she tried to think about what future her kids would have when they grew up. Since they were half of her, they'd have the ability of empathy like she did. And since the other half was Lauren, they had the loyalty trait thanks to their Wolf sides.

"They will" she was sure.

Lauren met Bo's eyes through the screen, "You don't have a plan, do you?" She knew that look all too well, it was Bo's way of saying; 'I got nothing'. "Bo, I know this's hard. And it's not the situation any of us wanna be in. But, if anyone can find a way out of this; it's you. You're a leader; so, lead us outta this mess"

"This's why I need you babe…" Bo shook her head, laughing. Lauren had a way of saying the right thing at the right time. And Bo really needed that right now. "… You're my anchor in life. And with everything going on, I could use a bit of stability right now. I know there's an answer to this, I just don't know what it is"

"Think for a second…" Lauren said. "… Consider his abilities and how they're different from yours. Yes, he's fast, and probably a little stronger. But you're no wimp, Bo. You're a powerful and feared Clan leader. Travis may be part Incubus; but you're all Succubus. There's gotta be things you can do that he can't" she refused to believe that Bo was helpless.

Bo thought for a second, and Lauren was right. "As a Succubus, I can heal from any injury. Providing I have a source of chi to feed from. But he has that, as well as his accelerated healing from his Wolf side…" she finally realised something. "… But unlike a Wolf; I don't have a weakness. Maybe that's it"

"Didn't you already dose him with Wolfsbane when you sliced him with your dagger?" Lauren remembered Bo telling her. "He just used you to heal. Seems like that's only a temporary weakness" she was just being honest.

And although that was very true, Bo wasn't talking about Wolfsbane. "Yeah, maybe. But, what's the one thing that's a sure-fire way to kill a Werewolf?" she made eyes at her through the screen. Hoping she'd catch on.

She was a Genius after all.

It took her a few seconds, but Lauren finally caught on. "JJ's venom"

"You said it yourself; the venom of the Black Wolf can kill any Werewolf in the world…" Bo couldn't believe she hadn't thought of it sooner. "… And if that's true; then he shouldn't be able to use his Incubus side to heal. It's a workable theory, all we have to do is test it"

"So, you want me to conduct a very painful and traumatic procedure on our seven-year-old son, so I can extract his super toxic venom in the hopes that it'll destroy your brother?" Lauren was just making sure she heard that right.

"Can you please not refer to him as my brother?" Bo groaned, "As far as I'm concerned, I don't have a brother. I have Kenzi, and that's all. And yes, that is what I'm saying" she went back to what Lauren said before.

Lauren sighed, "Umm, weren't you the one who was against putting JJ through that back when Ray and Maya were a problem for us? I know he's a little older now, but he's still too young for a procedure like that. I was wrong when I suggested it last time, you made me see that. What's the difference now?"

"Well, for one thing; Ray didn't want to claim you as his Wife!" Bo exclaimed, that was a big factor in her eyes. "And, he and I didn't share an evil Mother. Yes, I dated his sister and I'd really love it if we didn't touch on that subject tonight; or ever again" she averted her eyes, feeling guilty every time she thought about it.

She still hated what she did to Maya, using her so harshly. If it wasn't for her actions; Maya wouldn't have come to seek revenge. But, that was over and done with now. And Bo didn't want to be held back by it anymore.

"Okay, say you get his venom…" Lauren said. "… What're you gonna do once you have it? How're you gonna get close enough to Travis to inject him?" she didn't see it happening. "He's faster than you Bo. Us Werewolves have the ability of super speed, or did you forget that?" she looked down, and saw that Cami had dropped off in her arms.

Phew!

"Who said anything about injecting him?" Bo raised an eyebrow. "I was thinking I'd inject myself, and then piss him off so much that he'll wanna rip my throat out with his teeth" she was smiling very wildly right now.

And it was scaring Lauren, a lot. "Bo? Honey? I love you, more than my own life. But, I'm not about to supply you with a toxic substance so you can inject yourself. We don't know if it only effects Werewolves. It could be fatal to you too. And if the venom doesn't kill you, I think losing a chunk of your throat will do the trick!" she yelled in a whisper.

So not to wake Cami.

"I've got no other eggs in my basket Lauren. You said it; he's fast. Hell, you're probably faster than me too. I'll never get close enough to him to administer the venom by hand. But I can by blood. If he bites me; my blood will infect him. Right?" Bo was no Doctor, but it seemed pretty straight forward.

Lauren didn't want to agree with her, more so she could make her drop the plan. But she could see Bo was set on it. And once her Wife was set on something; there was no changing her mind. "Right"

Instead of getting into it more, Bo noticed her little girl fast asleep in Lauren's arms. "Look, we've got some time to talk it over a little more. You guys are hidden from him. But I honestly think this's the only way to get rid of him. For good"

"That's all I want…" Lauren breathed. "… I just wanna come home to you. Cami's feeling the separation anxiety more than any of us. And sure, JJ's happy now; but it'll fade sooner or later and when it does he'll wanna come home too"

Bo nodded, agreeing. "Which's why we need to get rid of Travis as fast as we can. With him gone; the deal your Grandfather made will be no good and the Clearwater's will have no leverage over you" she wasn't going to tread lightly with this. She just wanted her family back.

"They may not have the leverage; but that won't stop them from seeking revenge if we do succeed in killing Travis" Lauren knew how Wolves reacted to one of their pack being killed. It wasn't pretty.

"Let them…" Bo said. "… I'll do the same to them what I'm gonna do to Travis. Then let's see if they're scared of me" she still took offence over that. She just had to take deep breaths.

Lauren smiled lovingly. "My Wife. Always the brave protector"

Bo winked at her through the screen. "No other way to be babe…" she chuckled. "… I'll let you put the little Princess to bed. I think she'll be okay for the rest of the night. And put yourself to bed too, you need to rest"

But Lauren hated sleeping here now, especially since she was missing something important. "If only you were resting right next to me. I wish you were here"

There was nothing Bo could do about that. She'd give anything to be there with her family. "I'll meet you in your dreams…" she knew that'd make her smile. And it did. "… I love you"

"I love you too. Goodnight" Lauren blew her a kiss before signing off. Then got up and took Cami back to bed, where hopefully she'd stay for the rest of the night.

Hardware Store - Next Day

Since they were trying to build a fire pit for the backyard; Kenzi thought it would be better if she and Tamsin got the tools they needed to build it properly. They bought a bunch of stuff, Tamsin was the one who was in charge of assembling because she was the only one who knew how to work this stuff. When it came to DIY Kenzi was called when it was time to decorate. Other people could do the labouring.

"Was barb wire, really a necessary purchase?" Kenzi was asking as she helped Tamsin lug all the supplies back to the car. The lot was pretty full up so they had to park all the way on the other side of it. "You think someone's gonna try and steal the fire pit?"

Tamsin found that funny, "It's not for the fire pit…" she pushed the cart further. "… The barb wire, is for the fence in the backyard. Just another safety precaution in case we have any intruders. This stuff could save a life!"

Kenzi had to admire Tamsin's cautious thinking. Suddenly, she heard something in the distance to her right. Turning her head, she saw a large black SUV coming towards Tamsin at full speed. She herself was a little bit behind, but the car wasn't slowing down. She couldn't let Tamsin die, not again. So, she ran. As fast as could.

"Watch out!" She used all of her strength to push Tamsin away, just as the hood of the car hit her at full force. Kenzi rolled away as it finally came to a stop. Her body didn't move a muscle.

Wondering what happened, Tamsin got up. She'd hit her head from the fall, but it was nothing an aspirin couldn't cure. Turning around, she noticed Kenzi laying on her stomach. "KENZI!" She rushed over to her, rolling her over and gasped as she saw the state of her face. She had scrapes everywhere from the concrete floor. "Come on Kenz! Wake up!" She got nothing.

The car pulled up beside them again, and the window rolled down. "Ooh, that looks bad!" Travis smiled from the drive's seat. "I should really watch where I'm going, huh?"

Tamsin wanted to get up and kick his ass, but after what she'd heard from Bo she didn't want to try her luck. That, and she didn't want to leave Kenzi. She needed to get her help. "You bastard, I'm gonna kill you for this!"

"Maybe. But, what you should be concerned about right now; is her…" he pointed at Kenzi's beaten body. "… I hear her heart beating, but it's awfully slow. She could heal herself, but that might be kinda hard to do when she's unconscious. Sure hope she wakes up before her heart gives out. I guess it all depends on how fast you can run" he smirked wickedly at Tamsin.

"Why're you doing this?!" Tamsin yelled, "Kenzi's done nothing to you!"

He shrugged. "Do you think I care who dies? Well, I don't. And this had to happen, because hopefully now; Bo will know how serious I am…" he was done playing her games. And he was still seething at what she said on the phone yesterday. "… I want Lauren. Tell Bo her time's running out" he wound up the window and drove off.

Tamsin looked down, Kenzi wasn't waking up. And if she didn't, then there was no way to heal her. Then she realised, Bo could heal her. Kenzi didn't have to be awake for Bo to feed her chi. "You're not dying on my watch!" She scooped Kenzi up into her arms, and ran as fast as she could to the car.

Time was not on their side.

McCorrigan Estate - Later

When Bo woke up this morning all she wanted to do, was hear the giggles of her children echo throughout the house like they usually did. But she didn't hear any of that. And it made her sad. So, instead of letting the absence get to her; she decided to make use of her free time. She went back to reading the old files Dyson found on the legendary Black Wolf.

Back when JJ had his first transformation, Dyson brought them over after they'd found a way to control his abilities. Now she was looking for a page that told her if JJ's venom would be harmful to a non-Werewolf. If it was, then her plan to inject herself with it wouldn't be possible. But if it wasn't, then she could finally kill Travis once and for all.

Just as she was reading through the old pages, she heard the door bust open and Tamsin's screams weren't far behind. She dropped what she was reading and ran out of her office, to be met with Tamsin's puffy eyes. When Bo followed her gaze she saw her little sister on the floor, bloody, beaten, and clinging to her life.

"What the hell happened?!" she fell to her knees and checked her sister's pulse. It was there, but it was faint. Tamsin responded by telling her that Travis ran her down with a car. Bo had never felt such anger. "Kenzi? Wake up!" she held her sister's face, her blood was coating her hands.

"She hasn't woken up since it happened Bo. If she doesn't wake up, then she can't feed. But you can heal her, right?" Tamsin hoped to god.

Bo was in such shock that she didn't realise. "Yeah, I can…" she held her sister close, "… Come on baby girl, don't die on me now!" she bent her head, and began feeding her a large amount of chi. Doing this would make her weak, but she didn't care. She promised her Dad that she'd take care of Kenzi.

She wasn't breaking that now.

Tamsin watched as Bo continued to feed Kenzi chi, she'd seen her do it before. But never for this long, and now she was starting to turn pale in the face. Looking down, she saw that Kenzi's wounds were healing. "Bo? You need to stop!" her friend wasn't listening. "You're gonna kill yourself!"

That seemed to do the trick as Bo stopped the flow. When she pulled away, she was gasping for air. She'd given too much and now she was running on fumes. "Just…" she felt woozy. "… Take care of her" that was all she could get out, before she fell to her side.

Unconscious.

"Great! Because one unconscious McCorrigan isn't enough!" Tamsin was at a loss. She didn't know what to do. Kenzi was still out, and so was Bo. The only upside, was that Kenzi's wounds had more or less healed. All that was left were bruises. "Shit!" She got up and ran to Bo's office to get the nearest phone. Hers was back in the car.

She dialled Dyson's number, waiting for him to pick up. "Come on! Answer the damn phone!" Finally, he did. "Dyson?! Put Lauren on the phone, now! It's an emergency!" She waited for him to do what she said. When she heard Lauren's voice, she rambled again. "Lauren, I'm freaking out here! Kenzi was hit by a car, and Bo tried to heal her but I think she overdid it. They're both unconscious"

"Tamsin, calm down!" Lauren was panicking on her end, she didn't need Tamsin doing the same. "What exactly happened?" She needed to know.

Tamsin took a deep breath, "Kenzi and I were at the hardware store, and out of nowhere; this truck came and ran her over. I think it was coming for me, but she pushed me out of the way before it could. Lauren, it was Travis" she thought her friend had a right to know.

"Okay, I need to get over there. I can't sit back and watch my family get torn apart!" Lauren couldn't do this anymore. Kenzi was hurt, and now so was Bo.

But Tamsin knew that Lauren coming here wasn't an option. "No, it's too dangerous. If only there was a way for you to get here without you being seen…" she sighed, two seconds later she realised something. "… Maybe there is. Okay, hang on! I'll call you back!" She ended the call, then looked up.

She'd forgotten how to do this. "Uh, Sarah?" She called for her friend. "I dunno if you can hear me, but shit's really getting real down here and we need you! Kenzi and Bo are hurt, please!" She closed her eyes when a light shined before her.

Sarah appeared. "What'd you need?"

Tamsin smiled, thank god for that.

Lauren's Old Apartment

As soon as she got off the phone with Tamsin, Lauren was chomping at the bit. She felt so helpless, and that's the one thing Wolves weren't. She filled Dyson in on what happened, and he helped wrangle the kids. JJ was silently playing in the guest room while Cami had nap time in Lauren's room. The two of them waited for Tamsin to call back, but she never did.

Instead, they saw four figures start to appear before them. Sarah had Bo over her shoulder, while she held Tamsin's hand who had Kenzi over her shoulder. "Oh my god!" She got to Sarah, helping hold Bo up. "Let's take her to the bedroom. You guys, put Kenzi on the couch. I'll be back!" she told Dyson and Tamsin as she left with Sarah.

Walking into the bedroom, they noticed Cami still fast asleep. Thankfully, when she slept; she slept like the dead. Nothing woke her up. "Thanks for bringing them Sarah…" she laid Bo down with her help. "… You keep saving us" Sarah was always around to save the day.

Sarah let go of Bo's hand as they laid her down. "We're Family Lauren, that's what we do. I didn't really get much of a story from Tamsin but, are Kenzi and Bo gonna be okay?"

"They will if I have anything to do with it…" Lauren replied. Suddenly, Cami woke up and stood up in her crib. So much for sleeping like the dead. "… Do you mind taking her in the other room with JJ? I don't want her to be around this"

"Of course" Sarah didn't mind, she approached Cami's crib with a smile. Lifted her up and took her into the other room.

Lauren sat beside her Wife, touching her face. She was so pale, as if she had no life in her at all. "Bo, what did you do?" The only way she knew of to heal her, would be for her to feed. But she couldn't do that if she was asleep. There was no sign of her waking, so she left her to rest and ran back to the living room.

"How bad was it?" She stood before Tamsin, folding her arms. "And I want the truth"

Tamsin ran a hand through her hair, coming away with a little blood. It must've been from when Kenzi pushed her out of the way. "Travis, he tried to run me down. But Kenzi pushed me and took my place; he hit her so hard-" she shook her head, unable to relive it. "Kenzi couldn't heal by herself; so I got her to Bo"

"And she decided to feed Kenzi her own chi?" Lauren finished for her, "How much did she give her?" She had to know everything.

And Tamsin was going to tell her the truth. "If I hadn't stopped her; she'd probably be dead. But, she'll be okay, right?" If anyone could fix her, it was Lauren.

That's where Lauren was unsure. "For a Succubus; to lose that much chi, is like losing oxygen to the brain. They can't function. If I can't heal her some other way, we're gonna have to wait until she wakes up. And by the way she looks right now; I don't know when that'll be" she felt like screaming.

Dyson came up beside her, hugging her. "You'll find a way. You always do…" he believed in her. "… I know you're worried about Bo; we all are. But, what about Kenzi? Is she gonna be okay?" They glanced at another unconscious Succubus.

Lauren felt like a bitch, all this time she was worried about Bo when Kenzi was the one hit by a car. It wasn't right. Bo was her Wife, but Kenzi was her Sister. In-Law, or not; they were family. She knelt down beside her, checking her for wounds. "Looks like Bo healed her enough. Only a little bruising left, that'll heal up quickly…" she lifted Kenzi's shirt.

And saw a larger bruise, it wasn't serious. But it probably would've been if Bo hadn't healed her. "… Get some ice on this!" She told Tamsin. "I still need meds for the pain"

"I don't think regular store brand is gonna cut it" Dyson said.

Thankfully, Lauren had a plan. "I'm gonna give my old friend Ben, a call. He still works at my old Hospital. If I can get him to give me some supplies, can you go get them?" She looked at her brother who nodded. "Okay, let me grab my phone" she ran to the bedroom again.

Minutes later, and Lauren had spoken to her old friend Ben who used to work at her old Hospital. And it turned out he was still working there, and had moved up to Chief of Surgery. That was amazing. He was in the perfect position to help her out. She asked him if he could gather up some medical supplies she'd need and then Dyson would come by to collect them.

He didn't even question her request. Which was good. So, Dyson left the apartment to collect the items from the hospital. That left her and Tamsin to tend to the two slumbering Succubi while Sarah entertained the kids. They were lucky to have her.

Lauren filled up two large bowls of hot water, and supplied Tamsin with one along with a small hand towel. "For the blood…" she told her, "… She's out of the woods Tamsin. Thanks to Bo, she'll make a full recovery with some rest"

Tamsin began soaking the towel in some hot water and ringing it out over the bowl. "How mad do you think Bo will be when she wakes up?"

"On a scale from one to ten?" Lauren thought it over in her head. "I'd say about a billion…" she knew that for Bo; going after Kenzi was just as bad as going after Cami or JJ. And it was made worse by this whole situation; especially since Travis was their half-brother. "… But, we'll deal with it later. Call me when Dyson gets back" she walked off to her bedroom.

As she entered the bedroom, she noticed Bo hadn't moved an inch. She was really spent after giving Kenzi all that chi. Lauren sat next to her on the bed, and placed the bowl of hot water on the nightstand. She began cleaning the blood off of Bo's hands, gently. But not even that woke her up.

There wasn't a lot of blood, so she was fast cleaning it up. She crossed the room to the bathroom and emptied out the water, as she was coming back she was met with Sarah and a crying Cami. "I swear, all she does is cry lately…" she took her daughter from Sarah's arms. "… Hey? What's wrong?" she shushed her.

"Maybe she's sensing all the tension around here?" Sarah could only guess. "How's everything here?" she turned her head to Bo, seeing that she was still sleeping.

Lauren sighed, how could she answer that? "I dunno, ask me again when she wakes up. Sarah, you should go. Really, we'll be fine here. Besides, there's nothing any of us can do until they wake up. Please" she didn't want to ruin her day.

Sarah smiled, "Okay, but if you need me; you call" she got an okay from Lauren, then vanished.

Noticing Cami had stopped crying, "Alright, now you?" she looked at her, "What's with the crying huh?" she never got an answer, but she liked to think Cami understood her. "Why don't we just sit with Mama, hmm? Yeah, I bet you'd like that" she took her over to the bed, and sat her down in her lap.

Cami saw her Mother laying there, and tried to break out of Lauren's embrace to get to her. The first few times, Lauren stopped her. But the last time, Lauren let her go. Cami crawled over Bo's body and laid down on her chest. It made Lauren laugh because she'd never seen Cami act like this. It was like she was at home with Bo.

But suddenly, she noticed Cami's small hand start to shine as she laid it on Bo's chest. "Cami?" she didn't know what was happening. "Sweetie? What're you doing?" she was about to pick her up, but she noticed the colour was returning to Bo's face. "It can't be" she gasped.

The shine from Cami's hand faded and Bo's eyes opened slowly, "What the hell?" she groaned, leaning up a bit. Only to be met by the most adorable face ever. "Hey baby girl, what're you doing?" she wondered, then got a hold of her before sitting up. "Lauren? How'd I get here?" she didn't remember.

Lauren had no words, she didn't know how to respond. "Uh, Sarah brought you along with Tamsin and Kenzi" she finally found her voice.

That's when Bo remembered, "Kenzi! Is she okay?" she remembered the image of her injured sister laying in her arms, on the verge of death.

"Yeah, she's fine. Thanks to you. But, that's not what I'm worried about right now?" Lauren was still in shock over it.

"What are you worried about?" Bo asked.

Lauren pointed at the lively toddler in Bo's arms. "Cami, she uh-" she didn't know what to say.

Bo frowned, having never seen Lauren this speechless. "She what?"

Only three words left Lauren's lips. "She healed you"


A/N: Oh, what's that all about? Leave me your thoughts. Thanks for reading!
