Chapter Sixteen
As Bo, Alex and Kenzi walked into the Dal, they were greeted by a mixture of different looks. All three women were soaking wet, their hair drenched and curled from the water with their clothes still dripping with water. All three of the women had their make up running down their cheeks.
"Bam! Called it! Now pay me with liquor gramps! Pup and old woman I expect my money before I leave!" Tamsin said as she slammed her hands down on the table and stood up. Trick rolled his eyes and turned and grabbed a full, unopened, bottle of Nordic vodka from under the shelves and sat it on the bar.
Tamsin got up and walked over to Bo, kissing her passionately as she picked up the brunette and spun her around. "Mmm.. I missed you.." Tamsin purred as she put Bo back down on the ground.
"Well that certainly wasn't the reaction I was expecting, but I'll happily take it.." Bo said with a giggle as she leaned up, kissing Tamsin on her lips.
"Did we miss something? We're we pissed at Lil' T for going all badass monster slaughtering po po without telling us?" Kenzi asked in a low voice as she raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to the blonde.
"I thought we were going to be groveling since we were suppose to be the ones in trouble for going after the Encantado without telling her…" Alex whispered back to Kenzi.
"Dude I'll take the happy kissing married couple over getting yelled at.." Kenzi said with a chuckle as she and Alex walked over to the bar.
"So did you get the head back from the bat shit crazy mother and prevent your client from kicking the bucket before the sun goes down Succu-babe?" Tamsin asked as she held her hands firmly on Bo's hips.
"Yeah.. Why do you seem happy and not pissed?" Bo asked as she raised an eyebrow, her hands holding firmly onto the Valkyrie's neck, "And why are you all bloody?" the Succubus added as she inspected her wife, "Hold up.. WERE YOU ALL BETTING ON US COMING BACK?!" Bo asked as she glared over at the bar to see Dyson and Acacia look up from their wallets with a guilty look and Trick giving a guilt filled smile.
"It's not like that babe" Tamsin said with a laugh, "They were being all bitchy because I was refusing to go find you and help you fight so I bet them you wouldn't need my help and you'd kick ass without me"
"Uh huh.. I see.." Bo said as she playfully glared at the three
"But I got us liquor out of the deal" Tamsin said with a wink.
"Then all is forgiven" Bo said as she walked over to the three and everyone gave a light laugh.
"So back to one of my other questions, why are you all bloody?" Bo asked as she sat down at the bar beside Tamsin.
"Well long story short we had to kill this cannablistic fae, which naturally meant he had claws and was an asshole.. Then we had to blow him up.. Which of course entailed we set off a shit ton of bombs and sprint out of a cave before the rocks crushed us" Tamsin said with a shrug.
"And yet you tell me nothing on the phone" Bo asked as she raised both eyebrows.
"I told you I'd be back in one piece and here I stand Succulette" Tamsin said with a nose scrunch.
"True.." Bo said as she playfully glared at the blonde and then looked down at her blood stained side.
"Plus it's not like you can be mad at me.." Tamsin said as she leaned back and crossed her arms and smirked, eyeing the wet clothes of her wife.
"Dude she's right, we totally can't.." Kenzi said as she laughed.
"Which brings me to ask.. What in the world happened to you three?" Trick asked as he handed Alex and Kenzi each a mixed drink
"Well we stole a speed boat.. Technically Alex stole it.." Kenzi said as she playfully shoved the blonde.
"I am in no way shocked by this.." Acacia said as she smiled, "I'm the one who taught the bitch how to drive"
"I thought I said keep them OUT of trouble Alex?" Tamsin asked as she tilted her head and smirked.
"OH, well excuse me.. But have you MET these two? Do you think I had a choice. The damn boat with mother dearest was sailing away into the sunset and they care so damn much about helping people they practically forced me to do it.." Alex said as she rolled her eyes and chugged her drink.
"Lies I tell you, LIES!" Kenzi said as she sipped her drink.
"We caught up to the boat where Caroline's head was being held by her mother and had a minor disagreement that lead to her unfortunate death" Bo said with a grin as she shrugged.
"You killed the elder Encatado?" Acacia asked in shock.
"Bo Bo totally killed that bitch.. Well I think she did. Alex and I missed the grand finale because the fucking snake thing used her tail and sent our asses flying into the water but holy shittttt Bo Bo's eyes went Succu-Valkyrie crazy!" Kenzi exclaimed as she started motioning her hands around in a fighting scenario.
"I'm sorry what?" Tamsin asked as she turned her head to Bo
"Wait.. Succu-Valkyrie? What are you talking about?" Bo asked in a confused state as she glanced to Kenzi.
"You seriously didn't notice?" Kenzi asked as she eyed Bo.
Trick, Acacia and Dyson all looked back and forth from Kenzi to Bo.
"Kenzi what happened?" Dyson asked as he glanced back to the Succubus.
"Bo you seriously didn't feel any different kicking that woman's ass?" Kenzi asked as she looked jaw dropped.
"Kenzi.. I have no idea what you're talking about.. Alex?" Bo asked as she looked between the two.
"Holy.. Shit.." Alex said as she huffed out a laugh.
"Alex.. Kenzi.. Will someone please tell us what happened?" Trick asked as he looked to his granddaughter with concern.
"Alright one of you bitches talk before I put you in a coma.." Tamsin said as she looked at her sister and Kenzi.
"Bo.. When Kenzi and I were running to help you fight her you didn't have your normal Succubus blue eyes.. One of your eyes was black.. Like Tamsin's when she's in full Valkyrie mode.." Alex said as she studied the Succubus.
"WHAT?!" Acacia yelled as she gazed at Bo in disbelief.
"..Are you serious?" Bo asked as she looked just as shocked as the rest of the group.
"Yeah girl.. Yo shit was all different colors.. You were totally half Valkyrie up on that boat.." Kenzi said as she eyed Bo.
"Bo did you not feel any different?" Trick asked as he looked to his granddaughter.
"No.. Well I mean not really.. I felt stronger than usual. Like any hit I took really didn't do any damage but I didn't think.. How could that even happen? Is it the bond?" Bo asked as she looked to Tamsin.
"I mean it could be.. Like we said, no one really knows what happens with a Valkyrie's bond but I don't think that's what it was.." Tamsin said as she looked down and smiled at Bo.
"What do you think it was?" Bo asked as she looked confused and lost to her wife.
"I think THAT was our little bad ass.." Tamsin said as she leaned down and put a hand over Bo's stomach.
"Dude.. No friggin way.." Kenzi said in shock.
"It makes perfect sense actually.." Acacia said as she smiled and leaned back.
"That.. Well that's phenomenal.." Trick said as he laughed and grinned.
"I'm lost.." Bo said as she looked down at Tamsin's hand on her stomach. "Are you saying our baby did that? Does that mean it's a Valkyrie? Wait.. Valkyrie's are an all female race aren't they?"
"Usually.." Dyson said as he smiled and huffed out a laugh, "but with you two who knows what could be going on.."
"I'm with the wolf.. I mean we could assume it's a girl because Valkyrie's are strictly a female species.. As are Succubi but I mean hell at this point it seems anything is possible. The kid made Bo's eyes go all double color on us.." Alex said as she shrugged.
"I'll tell ya one thing.. Kids definitely got powers then" Acacia said as she proudly grinned.
"A great amount of power if what we're observing is the baby.. For a child to access their abilities in the womb is the sign of tremendous strength" Trick said as he smiled.
Tamsin glanced down at Bo and felt nerves and fear so she quickly grabbed Bo's hand, "Come on Succu-babe.. Let's go sit down and talk while these four figure out what we're going to do about Kenzi's Dawning training.."
"Okay.." Bo said still in a state of shock and disbelief. The brunette got up and slowly walked with Tamsin over to the lounge and sat on the couch.
"So while they're off having a private chit chat.. What are we gonna do about the dawning biznatch?" Kenzi asked as she looked at Trick.
"Stella said she'd be here tomorrow to work with you on the more formal aspects of training, but I was thinking maybe we could all go out to where we buried Alex since it was an open and secluded field and work on your control" Trick said as he wiped the counter.
"I'm with the Blood King, if we're gonna have any hope of you passing you need to work on a shit ton baby fae. We'll let the love birds talk then we're all going out to the field for hand to hand fire training" Acacia said as she sipped her beer.
"As much as I would love to help, I have to go to the station and fill out the paperwork on the murderer.. We can't exactly write that it was a fae killing so I have to go figure out a way to spin this for the human world. I"ll call Tamsin later and talk to her about work. Kick ass Kenz.." Dyson said as he fist bumped the small Russian.
"Hellz yeah D man.. See ya" Kenzi said as she grinned.
Dyson left and Acacia, Alex, Trick and Kenzi sat at the bar all talking as they waited for Bo and Tamsin to finish their talk.
"Alright you.. Spill it.. What's got you freaked?" Tamsin said as she sat down beside Bo, still holding on to the brunette's hand.
"Ya know it's so not fair for you to read my feelings" Bo said as she gave a light laugh.
"Blame the bond.." Tamsin said as she playfully nudged the brunette, "Seriously babe.. What's wrong?"
"I just.. I didn't even notice how my power grew.. I didn't feel my eyes change and now it's apparent we are going to have a crazy powerful baby.. It's terrifying not knowing what our baby is or what they're going to be or how strong they are. When we were fighting Mel, aka crazy lady, said something about how killing me would do the fae world a favor because having a child with our powers is an unbalance to the fae race.. I don't want to have this insanely powerful baby and not be able to handle it or their powers be used against them and they get manipulated and become like either of our parents. My father almost succeeded in destroying the world and your father almost burned down Valhalla.. I just don't want anything bad to happen to our baby Tamsin, I don't want them to be powerful and be pulled into all the shit that seems to always consume our world. There is so much bad and evil out there Tams.. What are we going to do if something like what we fought today gets our baby? What if their powers are so strong that they'll give in to the evil pull they're inevitably going to have because of us? Tamsin I love our baby so much already.. I just.. I'm scared something is going to happen to them.." Bo said as she frowned.
"Well lucky for our baby it's got no crazy fathers and two awesome mothers.." Tamsin said as she pulled Bo closer and put her arm around her, "Bo think about it this way.. Are you crazy powerful?"
"I mean yeah I guess but-" Bo said as Tamsin cut her off.
"And am I crazy powerful?" Tamsin asked with a grin.
"Yeah but Tamsin I-" Bo said but was interrupted again.
"And are either of us evil and trying to take over the world? Are either of us trying to kill everyone and become the fae world leaders? Are you planning to become this insanely powerful dark ruler and not telling me? Am I secretly plotting how to demolish the afterworld and raid Valhalla slaughtering millions? As infants were we running around trying to be all powerful and throw off the fae race balance of strength? Did your ass run around in diapers spitting up milk and plot ways to bring the world down?" Tamsin asked as she raised her eyebrows.
Bo couldn't help but laugh as she glanced up to Tamsin, "No babe.. We aren't.."
"Then tell me.. How is it that you and I are both super powerful and yet we aren't evil and turning into monsters and letting the amount of strength we have not only individually but together with our bond be used against us to destroy the world? How do we control our powers? How do we not go all types of insane?" Tamsin asked as she kissed the top of Bo's head.
"We had people in our lives who loved us and kept us away from all the evil. People who kept us grounded and didn't let our powers run rampant.. People who cared enough to be there for us to make sure that when we started to lose control we always came back.." Bo said as she looked up and rested her head on Tamsin's shoulder.
"Exactly.. and that's what we're going to be for our kid Bo. We're going to protect them, we're going to love them, we're going to make sure that they know about their powers and how to control them. They'll know there are bad things in the world, but they'll also know that they're good and they're meant to be good. You and I should know more than anyone that our parents or bloodline doesn't define us.. Hell our powers don't even define us. A Succubus only being with one person? That's usually a joke.. A Valkyrie falling head over heels in love? Please that's the shit that use to make me laugh hysterically because I knew it wasn't true. But look at us. Just because we're from the families we are and we're the species we are doesn't mean a damn thing if you ask me. So our kid has powers and is strong? That just means they'll be able to protect themselves from all the bad things you're afraid of. We're not going to let anything happen to them babe. You and I are going to make damn sure of that.. But we aren't doing this alone Bo.. We've got Trick, Acacia, Dyson, Alex and Kenzi here with us. You can't keep worrying about that. We're going to be great parents and we're going to have an amazing baby…" Tamsin said as she leaned down and kissed Bo's nose.
"You always know what to tell me to make me feel better.. We really are going to have one hell of a baby aren't we?" Bo asked with a smile.
"Of course.. It's you and I.. Kid is gonna be beast.." Tamsin said with a grin.
"I was fighting Mel I heard the way she cast her daughter out because she chose to be light and they were all dark.. It made me feel sorry for her. Feel sorry that she couldn't love her child unconditionally. I don't care if our baby is a boy or a girl, light or dark, Valkyrie or Succubus.. Anything.. I just want them healthy and I want them here with us.. I feel like this baby is the best thing that's ever happened to me, to us. God I just want them to hurry up and get here.. I feel like the waiting is the worst part" Bo said as she smiled and looked down to her stomach.
"Tell me about it. Why can't they just like overnight ship babies? I want ours now" Tamsin said as she frowned and pouted her lip.
Bo couldn't help but laugh at how adorable Tamsin was. "Just wait until it starts kicking and I actually start getting a baby bump"
"Dude you won't be able to pry me away from you then" Tamsin said as she and Bo started to laugh.
"I love you.." Bo said with a smile.
"I love you too Bo.." Tamsin said as she leaned down and gently kissed Bo's lips.
"Why didn't you come find me and fight with us?" Bo asked as she slowly pulled back.
"Because you didn't need me to Bo.. Look what you did today without me. My pregnant Succubus wife killed an elder Encantado and came home without a scratch.. You're strong Bo, stronger than anyone else I've ever met. If you would have needed me or if you would have been in trouble I would have felt that and been there for you in a heart beat and you know that. I would NEVER let anything happen to you. But Bo.. I've also been able to sense the doubt you've had lately.." Tamsin said as she raised an eyebrow.
"Valkyrie.. Doubt's kinda your thing.. Totally didn't think about that.." Bo said as she huffed out a laugh, "So you knew that I've been feeling less independent lately.. That I've been doubting my powers and fighting skills lately.. You knew I've been wanting to fight on my own to feel better about everything?"
"Of course I did. Lately it's like you feel like being pregnant has made everyone treat you like your glass and watching you like a hawk and you hate it. You of all people hate feeling like you're being babied and treated like a kid so why should I show up to rescue you when you can handle anything this world throws at you. If you don't need me to save you, I won't.. but when you do need me, the important thing is you know I'll be there. Today, you didn't need me.. You needed to kick ass all on your own and you did, and I couldn't be more proud of you for that" Tamsin said as she leaned down and placed her hand on Bo's cheek and started to caress her skin with her thumb.
"So you knew I would defeat her?" Bo asked with a smile.
"Of course.. Just like I knew you'd pass your Dawning. My money is always on you babe.. You can handle your shit. I'm not gonna rain on your parade and show up to steal your thunder. It's part of why I fell so deeply in love with you. You aren't weak, you don't rely on others to succeed, you do it all by yourself and that makes me admire you" Tamsin said with a smirk, "Wait you aren't mad I didn't show up are you? Because if so then I'm so sorry.." Tamsin said as her grin faded and she began to panic.
"No.. I'm not mad at all.. Just.. Shocked. Everyone else I've been with has always tried to save me when I didn't need it but here you are, you have so much confidence in me and what I can do. You trust me to fight and stay alive.. If it's possible I think I just fell even more in love with you.." Bo said as she leaned up and kissed Tamsin's lips, not even trying to mask the passion, desire and love radiating from her and through their kiss.
Tamsin pulled Bo in closer to her and kissed her back with relentless fury. Savoring each moment their lips were connected.
Bo smiled into their kiss and started to slowly feed from her Valkyrie, enjoying the feeling of the powerful essence floating into her. Tamsin moaned at the sensation and adored when Bo fed. It was never painful, in fact, Bo made it so that Tamsin felt just as much pleasure and fulfillment as she did. Their bond was stronger than anyone could have predicted and was growing stronger each day. What they had was something that was true and pure.
Their sweet make out session was interrupted by Kenzi, "BITCHES I HEAR MOANING! STOP SUCCU-SEXING AND SAVE THE LOVE MAKING FOR WHEN WE GET HOME! DAWNING TRAINING KINDA NEEDS TO HAPPEN HEREEEE!"
Bo and Tamsin both giggled and pulled away from their kiss.
"To be continued?" Bo asked with a smile.
"It better be.." Tamsin said with a grin as she stood up and pulled Bo up with her, making sure to hold her hand tightly and lace their fingers.
