AUTHOR'S NOTE:

I am digging the reviews and comments, really I am. I just hope I do not disappoint some if not all of you by the time the story ends.

As you can see, I have another update. My beta; one of the best, EBlane, sent me three chapters the other day, doesn't mean however you'll get to read all three in one sitting. I'm just mean that way.

DISCLAIMERS: See chapter one.

CHAPTER SIX

"So BoBo, how are things on the home front?" Kenzi asked as they drove to the meet their new client.

"Everything's good Kenz," Bo smiled.

Kenzi looked at Bo.

Her friend and sister by choice had been through so much in the brief time they'd known each other and although Kenzi had only joined the "Lauren Fan Club" recently, she had to admit that Lauren was good for Bo.

Kenzi sighed.

She had thought D-man was going to be Bo's if not true love, then something close to it.

Hell, if Bo had gotten her head out of her ass and if Lauren had been truthful from the start, they could have been bumping uglies a long time ago.

Kenzi saw the attraction between Bo and the Good Doctor – everyone did – from the start.

And now that things seemed to be going smoothly for the Good Ship Doccubus, maybe she'd break down and have Lauren take a look at the rash on her arm.

What was the use of having a doctor in the family if they didn't make house... shack calls from time to time?

"So, what's the case about?" Bo said interrupting Kenzi's silent contemplation.

"Oh, you know Bobolicious the same old, 'I think my husband's having an affair, can you get me the goods so I can use it against him in court and get all the money. Get implants and finance my cougar antics all over town while rubbing his face in it all' kind of thing," Kenzi answered in one breath.

"Oh... a regular?" Bo quipped.

"Yep. They might not be interesting, but they do provide for hours of billable services…"

Bo laughed out loud, "You are too much."

"And don't I know it," Kenzi replied.

Lauren walked through the lab without a care in the world. Her relationship with Bo had survived its first bump in the road. She and Kenzi had stopped bitching at each other... or at least not as much.

She had more freedom now with Hale as the Acting Ash.

There were no cases that needed her immediate attention; everything was wonderful.

She made her way into her office and hung up her leather jacket, noting that the stitching on the right shoulder where it had been torn was still intact. She was rather fond of her leather jacket and so was Bo.

Lauren could not help but smile when she thought about how much Bo loved to run her hands up and down the sleeves. "It's so soft," Bo would whisper before leaning in and inhaling deeply. "It smells like you," she'd practically growl.

Lauren felt the heat on her face as she blushed at the recollection. She slipped on her lab coat and went to her desk, wondering how the new batch of cultures she was growing had progressed.

"Dr. Lewis."

"Yes Jacob," she replied as she turned in his direction.

"Umm..."

Lauren frowned.

Jacob never hesitated.

It was one of the things she could appreciate about her personal lab assistant.

"What's wrong? Is it the cultures again?"

"No," he said shaking his head and fidgeting.

Something else he never did. Lauren felt an unwelcome knot form in her stomach.

"What is it?"

Jacob looked behind him before handing her a file.

"What this?" she asked as she opened the manila folder.

"It's the blood work you asked me to run."

Lauren thought for a moment, 'What blood work... Oh.' She recalled. "You mean Bo's?"

Jacob nodded. "I think you should look at this alone," he said before quickly walking out of her office.
