Bo and Lauren

"I hate times like these." Bo cooed quietly.

Lauren smiled. "I know. But you'll have plenty to do today. You have a brand new grandfather to get to know. Plus I'll be joining the three of you later today."

Bo squeezed the doctor. "I know. I just don't like being away from you. You're so warm and soft."

"I'm only working half a day today. Then I'll call or text you to see where you're at." Lauren smiled as she pulled back. She straightened Bo's hair.

Bo sighed. Stepped to Lauren, and hugged her once more.

"It won't be that long." Lauren smiled as Bo pulled back.

"I know. I know. We just had a long night last night. You and I barely got a couple of hours alone before we went to bed. I guess I've just been spoiled by our routine." Bo said quietly.

"It has been really nice. But it was only this morning that's not been the norm " Lauren said. She smiled and grabbed her medical bag.

"Are you sure you had enough to eat? Bo asked. She pushed a plate of croissants towards Lauren.

"I did." Lauren smiled as she leaned in to kiss the Succubus. It was the Succubus that growled and made the doctor laugh. "It won't be that long."

"Sorry." Bo blushed. She shook her head and released the doctor again.

Lauren grabbed her keys and ran out of the house. If she stayed, she'd never go to work. Which wouldn't be a bad thing, but she did have two jobs. One as a doctor. The other is running the clinic. The staff had been doing very well since it opened. Everyone gets along, and their patients love them.

Bo sighed and nodded for Curtis to take the leftovers and send them to those in need. An idea Bo had come up with. Lauren was out there literally saving lives. Bo wanted to feed people whenever she could. Food would probably keep them healthy enough to stay out of clinics and get them back on their feet. Back to their own chosen professions. She smiled and grabbed her phone and keys.

Hale and Dyson

The Siren was hard at work. He had already finished his paperwork, but was now writing bullshit to keep Dyson from asking dumb questions. Even officers on desk duty had found something else to do to get away from them.

He'd had enough, stood and groaned. He left Dyson at his desk and stormed into the Captain's office. "Sir. I need a new partner!

"Sorry Santiago. First come. First serve." The Captain said.

"How's that sir? Hale asked.

The Captain half smiled and showed Hale a thick stack of papers.

"What are those sir? Hale asked.

"Requests not to be partnered with Thornwood." The Captain answered.

"Son of a…". Hale snapped. "How about a transfer?

The Captain showed him another stack of papers requesting transfers. "Before you ask, the other precincts don't want him either."

"Well I'm done with my paperwork. So I'm outta here." Hale said walking over to a door that didn't lead back to the squad room.

"Don't you want your jacket and Fedora? The Captain asked.

"Nooooo. I have a set in my car. But can you lock them in your office or my desk? Hale asked.

"I'm not your butler Santiago. Either go and get them yourself or they'll stay where they are." The Captain laughed as he went back to his own paperwork.

Hale cursed under his breath. If he left his jacket and hat, that five year old mindlike detective would probably try them on or tear them. He opened the Captain's office door and was relieved to see that Dyson wasn't at his desk.

"How much longer now Succubus? The Captain sighed into his phone.

"Fire him. I wouldn't care." Aife laughed.

"Aife! You did this to him. Now either come get him or…" The Captain started.

"Or nothing! I said you could fire him! Aife turned serious.

"Fine." The Captain said. He waited for Aife to hang up before he did. The last time she was offended, thinking he hung up on her, and she threatened to kill him. Once she hung up, he sighed in relief. He walked over to the door and observed the squad room. Thankfully it was quiet, and Hale and Dyson were both gone.

Bo

Bo climbed out of her car and walked towards the dank building. She pushed the door open and didn't waste any time speaking. "Kenzi said you threatened her. If that shit is brought to my door again Evony, I will kill you."

"Your little human can talk the talk, but can't walk the walk? Fine. But since you're here, I'll ask you. How you you suck chi with one breath? Evony asked.

Bo rolled her eyes bitterly. She turned to leave and laughed when the woman gasped. "I do it like that. Don't make me have to pull your chi from out of nowhere, because I will."

Evony grabbed her throat and watched the Succubus leave. She still wanted to know how Bo does that, but wasn't about to chase her down to ask her again.

Bo climbed in her car and sped away. Evony was nosy and the other Fae would likely pry too. Kenzi is going to be told the same thing Evony was. Not to bring that bullshit to Bo. She doesn't owe either one of them an answer.

The truth is, she doesn't exactly know how she does that. She just knows it started when she mated with Lauren. Lauren is literally giving her life. She smiled at the realization. But that information in the wrong hands would piss her off, because they would be after Lauren to try and use her as bait for Bo. That's never going to happen because she would drain the colony leaving only her, Lauren, Aife and Keldon alive.

She smiled thinking of her brand new grandfather. To think he had been in Lauren's lab and nobody ever knew who he was. Bo had caught herself staring at him. Trying to remember if she ever walked by him. If he ever spoke to her. She wondered if the Ash had known him. If Trick had known him. But none of that matters now. She wants to know him. Aife talked to him for hours. Asking question after question. He never tired of her. Bo could see Aife's features in him. Which meant Bo has them too. That's where she was headed to catch up with her mother and grandfather.

Aife and Keldon

"Are you going to stare at me all day or are you going to say something? Keldon laughed.

"I'm sorry. It's just after Trick died, I didn't think I had any family left other than Isabeau and her mate. So you'll have to forgive me for being stunned and silent." Aife smiled.

"I understand. You just weren't saying anything. Your grandmother used to do the same thing." Keldon laughed.

"I understand that I was named after her. You wouldn't happen to have a picture handy, would you? Aife asked curiously.

"Always carried this one." Keldon replied. He stood up and pulled a small picture from his pocket.

Aife gasped. "She….she looks like Isabeau. Just like her! Can I make a copy?

"Of course. By the way, when is the naming kids after each other going to stop? Keldon laughed.

"Probably with Lauren and Isabeau." Aife sighed gently. Bo's the spitting image of Queen Aife, and the Succubus couldn't stop staring at the picture. She gripped it hard when a door opened. She smiled as Bo strolled in and over to her great-grandfather. The old Incubus pulled her into a bear hug and Bo returned the favor.

"Hello Isabeau." Keldon bowed.

"Stop that." Bo laughed.

"Hello baby." Aife smiled as she took her own hug.

"What's going on? Bo asked.

"Not much. Just looking at a picture of Queen Aife." Aife replied.

"Wow! Bo screamed.

"I know. You look just like her." Aife smiled.

"Are you sure you don't want your throne back? Bo asked Keldon.

"No. I don't want it. It wouldn't be the same without her. It's your turn to rule. I can tell you're good at it." Keldon smiled.

"How? Bo asked curiously.

"I didn't find any Fae bodies lining the streets." Keldon replied.

"I don't want to see that. Besides fighting Fae would likely end up at Lauren's clinic and it would disturb our groove." Bo sighed.

"I don't think I want to hear that." Keldon said holding his hand up.

"Sorry I didn't mean that type of groove. I meant our nightly dinner. I don't want Lauren working more than she needs to. So the Fae know to take their beefs elsewhere." Bo said seriously.

"She'll be joining us soon right? Keldon asked. It was approaching late afternoon.

"She will." Bo smiled.

"Then let's sit down and talk." Aife smiled.

Bo nodded and they all found a seat. They talked about everything, from Queen Aife to Trick. Keldon had known the Blood King. Then he disappeared on him, and hid. He was never a threat to Keldon's throne because he wouldn't have the guts to test the Incubus.

He had heard of a Succubus with a short gentleman that had arrived back in the colony. It was the first time in years that he'd found a lead. Before he could come in time, he'd learned she'd been handed over to the Dark and then taken away. He was sure the Succubus was his great-granddaughter. Trick had given her away, and didn't tell Keldon. He had to go undercover to learn all of that. Years later he heard of another Succubus sighting and returned to Toronto.

The woman he would come to know as Bo, had somehow kept alluding him, until he saw Lauren. She just had the look of someone who was smitten with a Succubus. It's the same look he saw in the mirror. Day after day when he was married to Queen Aife. So he faked needing a doctor, hoping she would lead him to the Succubus. But the doctor was too adorably professional. So he left her with his thanks, gratitude and a pinch of jealousy wanting to see the woman that had obviously captivated her.

"So you knew Lauren had seen me? Seen my Succubus? Bo smiled softly.

"A Succubus always leaves something behind. It'll either be in the eyes, soul, or dead body." Keldon explained.

"I can attest to that! Aife laughed.

"Why didn't you just ask her about me? Or wait for me to return to her lab? Bo asked.

"I didn't get along with the Ash and besides Lauren treated me off the clock, so to speak. He'd have to be informed of that and poked his nose in my business and my search." Keldon smiled.

Bo nodded. It did make sense. That lab was highly guarded and you had to have a reason to see Lauren. She had to have snuck Keldon into the building. Bo smiled thinking of how Lauren treated them both with the same injection but only said it was an Incubus. She thought about the first time they met. She pulsed her and may have marked her without knowing she did it. Or maybe it's simply like her grandfather just explained.

"Wait but Dyson…" Bo started.

"Was not your mate. He wouldn't show me what I saw in the doctor." Keldon said.

Bo nodded and smiled when her mate walked in to join them.

"Sorry. Sorry. I tried to get here sooner." Lauren sighed.

"Don't be sorry. You have perfect timing as we were just talking about you." Bo smiled as she helped Lauren with her seat.

"What? Why? Lauren asked.

"Grandfather was explaining seeing Bo's mate in you, when you treated him." Aife replied.

"Yeah. Apparently he saw that you had seen me. He saw that you were my mate before I even asked to mate with you." Bo blushed.

"I see." Lauren blushed too.

"Don't worry about it ladies. It won't go further than this room." Keldon said as he stood.

"Did you have lunch? Bo asked.

"I had a bite." Lauren answered.

"Soooo that's a no." Bo frowned.

"I had a salad. But as I said, only a bite." Lauren said rubbing Bo's leg.

"Lauren you promised me you wouldn't skip lunch. Just because you're my mate, doesn't mean I won't worry about you getting three meals a day." Bo gently removed Lauren's hand from her knee and stood.

"The clinic just got a little busy. That's all. It's why I was a little late." Lauren said as she watched Bo make her a plate.

Once Bo was satisfied she had a healthy sized plate of food, she grabbed two beers and headed back to the table. "I can understand that. Now eat your food Dr. Lewis."

Lauren smiled as she took a beer and dug in. She could feel Bo's eyes on her, but didn't care. She knew why the Succubus was staring. If Lauren got distracted, she wouldn't eat.

"So grandfather we found some things of grandmother's. You have anything besides this picture? Aife asked.

"I have a ton of memories in an underground vault. Pictures. Jewels. Robes. My crown." Keldon replied as he returned to the table.

"You should still be King. But I completely understand not wanting to be in charge. Some Fae can be pains in the ass." Aife laughed.

"But none that would dare test me." Bo raised an eyebrow but never took her eyes off of Lauren. The doctor was halfway finished.

"As I said. I don't want my throne back. It's Bo's turn to rule. I'm more than content in my retirement." Keldon said as he took a seat next to Lauren.

"Don't be afraid to ask for anything. This, all of us. We are all my family. What's good for one of us, will be good for all of us." Bo said pointing around the table.

"She's right. The four of us are it. Nobody will touch one hair on any of our heads without our respective permission." Aife nodded but didn't point around like Bo did.

Lauren nodded and Keldon smiled. For the first time in years, Toronto was starting to feel like home again. He could stop his search because he had every Succubus he could possibly want to see, sitting across from him. Had he stayed longer to talk to Lauren, he might've met Bo sooner. But all of that is over.

The four spent the next few hours talking and laughing. Keldon mentioned an old house he hid in after Queen Aife died. He mourned her for three days before he wanted to break free of the Fae. He never thought a Succubus could die, until Aife and Isabeau did. Trick never deserved her. He only mourned for a day before he went into exile, taking Aife with him. Then gave her away when he should've given her to Keldon.

"Well it's getting late, and Lauren and I are heading home. Our dinner should be ready soon." Bo squeezed Lauren's hand, and they both stood. Keldon kissed the women on their cheeks before they all walked out to their cars. Lauren pulled out first, and Bo followed her.

"The Succubus has it bad. So does Bo." Keldon smiled as he watched Bo and Lauren's cars disappear as they sped down the street.

"Are you really okay grandfather? I didn't want to ask in front of the girls. But if my presence or any of this is too painful, we can all back off." Aife said quietly.

"I've searched for all of this for years. If I wasn't ready or capable of handling this, I wouldn't have done that. Aife was proud of Isabeau. Isabeau was proud of you. When things started to get strange with Trick, she asked that we always look out for you. Your mother was strong Aife. Never use her death as a weakness of her strength. Aife was strong too." Keldon said seriously.

Aife sighed deeply. She longed to hear that. It had been embarrassing that her mother, a powerful Succubus could die. Then when she became a mother, she never wanted to leave Bo. But her father took that choice away from her. So she had to give her up, so she would live. Keldon had been looking for Aife but spotted Bo's Succubus in Lauren's eyes. Trick had been looking for Aife to control her. Although she didn't know Keldon well yet, his aura was all she needed to know for now.

"Why don't we go and get something to eat and then we can party? Aife suggested.

"That sounds wonderful." Keldon smiled as he motioned for Aife to walk ahead of him.

The duo found a nice restaurant. The others gasped at the couple until Keldon announced she was his daughter. Aife watched as the man charmed every woman in the room. She toasted him as he walked the room introducing himself. She laughed when he gave a fake name. He didn't appear to trust anyone. Something Aife didn't do outside of the four of them.

"Anything? Aife laughed.

"They're all cowards." Keldon said taking his seat.

Aife gestured towards their plates and they dug in. People still stared but never interrupted them.

Hale, Kenzi and Dyson

"I don't know what else to do with him. He keeps wanting to see Aife. You know if he touches her wrong, she'll drain him on the spot." Hale sighed.

"Find a way to rid his memory of her." Kenzi suggested.

"That wouldn't work. He'd see see her again. You can't exactly hide Aife. Even when she's not around, she's around. The best I can think of is to keep him chained in this cage. It's electric so if he tries to escape, it will shock him." Hale explained.

"Bo dismissed me. I have no way of helping you with this. Unless you'd be willing to help fix my relationship with Bo." Kenzi smiled like a child pleading.

"After what you told me, I'm not going to do that. Bo made it pretty clear you overstepped. You should've gone to Bo and not after Lauren. You're lucky her Succubus didn't kill you." Hale said.

"Why can't anyone understand? She said she'd chosen Dyson. Then when Lauren ran, she ran after her. She came back and made me a freaking slave to build that freaking Clinic. I still have blisters on my feet. Lauren's not her first choice, she's her last choice. Whatever they have going on will die down when she realizes she chose Dyson. She will return his memory of her and the Fae, and we'll all be back to normal! Kenzi snapped.

"Kenz. You need to grow up a little. Bo's made her choice. She mated with her choice. She's never going back to Dyson. She could've easily sent him to look for Lauren. She left the both of you behind for a reason." Hale said putting his hat on.

Kenzi threw her arms into the air and groaned. Hale didn't get it. Nobody did.

Bo and Lauren

Bo smiled as Lauren shivered at her touch. "Too much?

"Not hardly enough". Lauren gasped.

"Okay. One more round then it's your turn." Bo grinned. The doctor shivered again and closed her eyes. But it was no use, she screamed again as Bo devoured her like she never had before. She got an idea and tried it.

Bo laughed as Lauren pulled her up, and flipped her over with one hand. The blondes eyes turned blue to match Bo's. Her tongue against Bo's felt like fire, as their chi flowed into each other.

With one hand again, Lauren ripped Bo's clothes off. Bo never blinked. She didn't want to miss a moment of this. To think that her great-grandfather saw her mate before Bo recognized it. She had felt something for Lauren before she ever pulsed her. Before she ever spoke to the blonde. Now she felt complete. Energized. Every feeling imaginable for the woman working around on top of her and inside of her.

"I love you Lauren." Bo panted.

Lauren stopped and looked at the Succubus. "I love you too." She smiled.

Bo bit her lip in ecstasy, and knew she drew blood.

"I'll help you heal shortly." Lauren winked as Bo screamed and tried to grab onto something.
