Chapter 10: a curse is lifted and a new succubus is born;
A couple weeks after the body swap debacle, Bo received word from Lachlan where she could find the Dark Fae Sharman. The Ash had tried to convince Bo that she shouldn't tell Lauren about what she would need to do to lift the curse. However, Bo was not going to withhold information the Doctor needed. Not even to satisfy the jealousy that her inner succubus was feeling. At the prospect of waking her mate's ex-lover. It was like the closer they got to the impending birth of her's and Lauren's first child the more possessive and protective Bo's inner succubus became.
The feeling was new to Bo and she was not inclined to indulge in the more negative emotions. Lauren is her own person and Bo knew deep within her heart she could trust the blonde to be able to deal with an ex who wouldn't be aware that they were not still together. Especially now that Lauren was close to the last month of her pregnancy. Their daughter was due to be born any day now. Though thankfully Lachlan allowed for Nadia's comatose body to be moved to Lauren's home lab in the basement of the fully renovated clubhouse.
It was down in her home lab, is where Bo found Lauren checking on the various high tech medical equipment that Nadia was hooked up to. Bo walked slowly up to the blonde doctor. So as to not startle her. When she reaches Lauren, Bo gently placed a hand on one of Lauren's shoulders giving it a gentle squeeze.
" Bo, what time is it? I haven't missed your birthday party, have I?" asked Lauren as she looked up from what she was working on.
"No, Kenzie is still doing the preparations for that. It is still morning. I came down to tell you that Lachlan found out why Nadia is in the coma. Turns out the Ash that you used to serve had Nadia placed under a curse by a dark fae Sharman. He tried to convince me that it would only work if you were kept in the dark about it. But there is no way I was going to keep any secrets from you." Replied Bo.
"What?! The former Ash cursed Nadia?" responded Lauren, exasperation clear in her voice. She then took a deep breath to calm herself down like the fae obgyn recommended for her to do. "So, did he say how you can break the curse?" asked Lauren, seemingly calmer than she was a couple minutes earlier.
"Yes he did, but you are not going to like it." Replied Bo as calmly as she could. Doing her level best not to cause any undue stress on her very pregnant lover. Lauren rolled her eyes at that comment.
"Just spit it out Bo. I can handle it." replied a slightly irritated Lauren, as she moved over to the three-seater lounge she had installed in her lab at the clubhouse. As much as she loathed to admit it to herself, Kenzie was right to suggest she add one. As her pregnancy has progressed the lounge has become somewhat of a welcome sanctuary to her sore and tired muscles.
Bo looked over Lauren, trying to read not only her aura but her mind. Finding Lauren calm enough for her to respond. Gave Bo some hope that this part of the conversation will go well. "I am going to need to go to the Congo, not to far from where you worked to find a cure for whatever disease that affected the Fae living there. From what I could wrangle out of Lachlan, the Sharman who cursed Nadia at the behest of the former Ash; resides there. So, I with the help of Dyson will go see the Dark Sharman. And convince him of the importance of removing Nadia's cursing nail. I should be back in time for the party." Explained Bo, leaning down to place a loving kiss on the blonde doctor's forehead.
"You are right I don't like it, but honestly; I just want to wake up Nadia already so I can finally move on from that chapter of my life. Please be safe and careful, this little one and I couldn't handle not having you in our lives." Replied Lauren with silent tears streaming down her cheeks. The idea of Bo not being there had her already out of whack emotions to go into overload.
Without a word Bo left the basement lab to let Kenzie know of the plan so as to not worry the young goth woman. That Bo was very much fond of. Bo had barely known the young woman and already she could easily say in her heart and mind that Kenzie was like a sister to her. "Are you sure you don't want me to come with?" asked Kenzie idlily as she rummaged through the box of party decorations.
"Nah, it is okay. Dyson is coming along so I should be fine. I just hope I manage to get back in time for that surprise party you are planning that I am not supposed to know about." Replied Bo with a wink in the goth's direction.
"What party? I don't know what you are talking about?!" replied Kenzie using her most innocent look and tone of voice she can muster. Though she could tell Bo didn't buy it.
"Yeah, yeah…just don't go too overboard and keep an eye on Lauren for me please. I get the feeling she is going to give birth sooner then we expect." Said Bo, before heading over to the door leading into the garage. Bo got into her car that she was very reluctant to give up anytime soon. And reversed out off the garage, then headed towards Dyson's warehouse apartment. Dyson thankfully was waiting patiently out the front. Bo pulled up beside him and he jumped into the seat beside her.
"So, how are you really feeling about waking up Lauren's ex-girlfriend? It has got to be frustrating to see her so focused on her rather than you. I know it would frustrate me to have to share my mate with another person." Questioned Dyson trying to get Bo to open up to him, as he could see just how much this whole Nadia thing was eating her up inside.
"Honestly? I am struggling to hold back my inner succubus. As Lauren being so close to giving birth it is bringing out my more possessive side. And I don't know what to do with that. It's like my whenever my inner succubus sees pretty much anybody who gains Lauren's attention is a threat. And I am hungry all the time, feeding for three is hard when I can only be fully satisfied by feeding with Lauren. The little chi sips I get during a case don't really help. I guess that part about only being able to be fully fed and satisfied with my mate is true as well. Not that it is a bad thing to be with only one person for the rest of my life. I mean you know how that is." Replied Bo as she drove them to the Light Fae travel agency.
"That was one hell of a ride..." said Bo after the Fae travel agent folded the earth to get her and Dyson to the Congo jungle. Not too far away from the Sharman's shack.
"It was definitely something. But from what you were saying on the way over, you don't need to feel guilty about your inner succubus getting possessive over Lauren. At least not for the time being. She is carrying your child. That is bound to bring out your more protective instincts. The feeling you are getting is natural.
I am sure many of the soon to be parents feel the same about their pregnant partners. Mind you that protective instinct is only going to become stronger. Just know I will have your back and will protect baby Charlotte, Lauren, Kenzie and yourself for as long as I shall live. You, all of you are apart of my pack for life." Said Dyson, feeling something for once since he sacrificed his ability to love to help Bo fight her mother.
"Thanks Dyson, that means the world to me to know that you will always be there whenever we might need you. It looks like we are here." Replied Bo as they stood outside of the rundown shack directly in front of them.
"Alright then, lead the way." Said Dyson quietly. They entered the shack, only to find the Sharman lying prone on the floor. Bo and Dyson rush over to him to see what they can do to help.
"I know you seek my help, but I am afraid I am in no condition to be of use." Said the Sharman as he lay on the ground in agonising pain.
"How can we help you?" asked Bo anxiously. As Dyson stood by silently.
"I need the healing mask of the goddess Ama. It can heal you even if you're on the brink of death. A Preta stole it from me. Get it back for me and I will help you with whatever you need." Said Tshombe.
"Which Preta?" asked Dyson finally speaking up. Worry in his voice. He could sense Bo's panic. As the Sharman passed out in Bo's arms. The two of them then left the shack and the Congo jungle to head back to the Dahl and Trick. To see if he had heard word of a Preta in the area.
When the reach the bar, they were greeted by a slightly worried Trick. Upon seeing the look on Bo and Dyson's faces and body language.
"That doesn't look like good news. What can I do to ease your troubles? "asked Trick as he placed a schooner of beer in front of the both of them. Bo and Dyson to a deep drink before speaking.
" The dark Fae Sharman Tshombe that placed the curse on Nadia is on the brink of death. And said that the healing mask he had was stolen by a Preta. Do you know of any Preta having been to the Congo lately?" questioned Bo, sighing dejectedly.
"Well there was one the other day who was bragging about him having acquired the goddess Ama's famous healing mask. Let me check my book to get his name and current location..."replied Trick, as he walked down to the other side of the bar where the Fae way station log book was kept during opening hours.
Trick gave Bo and Dyson the name and location of where the Preta was currently residing. But not before giving Bo his late wife's bracelet, to use as a bargaining chip for the goddess Ama's mask. Bo and Dyson thanked Trick for his help then headed off to the Preta's lair. Bo then offers the bracelet in exchange, the Preta agreed but not without making sure that it would be extremely difficult for Bo to get the mask as he was not inclined to give up the precious treasures in his possession.
Even if he couldn't touch it without destroying it in the process. Bo and Dyson managed to get the mask but not without losing the precious bracelet in the process. Bo, then picked up the sand like substance that was left in the wake of the bracelets destruction; and sprinkled it over the remaining treasures much to the Preta's dismay. Then Bo and Dyson headed back to the Shaman's hut in the Congo. Bo, then places the mask on the nearly unconscious Shaman. Revitalising him instantly.
"I thank you for upholding your end of the bargain, now you wanted to remove Nadia's cursing nail. Yes?" said Tshombe, as he gestures towards the block of wood with many nails hammered into it.
"That is what I came here to do. Which one is it?" replied a slightly frustrated Bo. She wanted to get this over and done with so that she could get back home to Lauren and the party that Kenzie was organising that she wasn't supposed to know about.
"Alright, just so you are aware; only those who have pure intentions can remove the nail. It won't work if the reason you are removing the nail is for selfish reasons." Explained Tshombe, handing Bo the crowbar needed to pull out the nail. Bo then proceeded to pull out Nadia's nail. As she did so the Sharman rambled on about all the various curses he had on the other people linked to the nails. It made her blood boil with a desperate need to set them free. Not really caring about the consequences of her actions.
Meanwhile in in the clubhouse lab, Nadia wakes up from her coma. Nadia, notices a very pregnant Lauren and is feeling very confused. Because the last thing she could remember was Lauren working hard to find a cure to some weird disease in the Congo jungle before everything had gone black. "Lauren? How long have I been asleep?" asked a rather confused Nadia. She was torn between feeling hurt and the desire to go over and kiss the woman she thought was the love of her life.
"It has been five, almost six years since the Congo. There is lots to tell you..." answered Lauren, as she subconsciously rubbed circles over her pronounced abdomen. She could feel ripples of pain as she did so as well as in her lower back. Lauren was not sure if what she was feeling was Braxton Hicks contractions or if she was going into active labour. She hoped that it wasn't time to give birth just yet. As she wanted to be able to at least celebrate Bo's birthday before they welcomed their first-born child into the world.
"Like how in the hell you are pregnant? And where the hell are we?" asked a rather annoyed Nadia. Throwing her arms up in the air in frustration as she took a look around the clubhouse lab. She couldn't wrap her head around the fact that she was in some random basement lab, or that her supposed girlfriend was from what she could tell nine months pregnant. She then moved to sit next to Lauren on the three-seater lounge. Turning slightly so that she could look the blonde doctor in the eyes.
"Well, the pregnancy is not as easy as you think to explain. As that isn't entirely my story to tell. As for where we are, we are at what I like to nickname the 'clubhouse' because it is where my group of friends and chosen family get together often. There is one thing that I have to tell you though. I have moved on in the years you have been in a coma. We are having a birthday party for my partner Bo, you should come and get to know her. I think you might get along. Then tomorrow it might be best that you go back to living with your family. As I don't know what else there is to do now that you are awake." Explained Lauren as best she can without revealing about the fae or the fact that she is no longer human. It wasn't truly her story to tell alone. Perhaps Bo would have a better idea on what to do. Or even Trick might have the answers.
"Right, so you say. What could possibly be so complicated about being pregnant? I mean you and your current lover got a sperm donation yeah? Unless there is something you aren't telling me about your sexuality. That is the only way two women can conceive...as I don't think even science has found any other way, has it?" responded Nadia not entirely convinced about a single word Lauren is telling her.
"Like I said, it isn't my story to tell. I need Bo here with me to properly explain it. Please come with me upstairs, we can get you cleaned up and a new set of clothes." Said Lauren as she used some of her sway powers to get her ex-girlfriend to do as she asked. Which in her current state made her hunger for chi spike more than usual. Though she chalked it up to being a part of her late term pregnancy. Nadia then willingly followed her up the stairs with a slightly dopey grin on her face.
Once upstairs, they are greeted by Kenzie. "Hey doc, I see Bo was successful in her mission. She looks to be about my size I think." Said Kenzie, with her usual smile upon her face. She then got up from where she was putting up the last of the decorations, to make herself known to the only other human woman in the clubhouse. "Hi I am Kenzie, friend and chosen sister of the doc here." Gestured Kenzie in Lauren's direction while holding her hand out for Nadia to shake. Lauren nodded in the young goth's direction in thanks for offering some of her clothes to Nadia.
"Hello, thanks for the clothes. So how long have you known Lauren and this Bo I keep hearing about?" asked Nadia curiously, with a strong hint of jealousy in her voice.
"Hmm, I would say it has been a year; I think? I don't know exactly as it has felt like I have known both the Doc and Bo forever. You know, I wasn't exactly keen on the two of them together at first. But the doc grew on me. She is good for Bo. They equal each other really. The doc is happy, that much is clear in case you were wondering." replied Kenzie knowingly. She could sense something off about Nadia. That she has her suspicions about the existence of the fae but can't quite figure out that is what she was seeing.
"Ah okay. Well I better go follow the blonde. She did say she would help me to clean up." Retorted Nadia, her voice and body language indicated that she wanted something non-platonic with Lauren. 'Like the doc would ever cheat on Bo...'thought Kenzie as she watched Nadia follow in Lauren's direction.
Meanwhile, back in the Congo..
Bo and Dyson made their way back to the fae travel agent. As it was time to head back to the clubhouse to finally celebrate her birthday and meet this Nadia in person. Not that she felt threatened by the human. She just needed to make sure that Nadia and Lauren got closure on their past relationship. Then find a way to get Nadia away safe and sound back to her family. Once at the agency, they follow the whacky fae's rules in order to get back. The whole ordeal had made Bo rather hungry. Dyson offered for her to take some of his chi to tide her over, but Bo knew that wasn't the best of ideas. Considering their past history. "Thanks Dyson for the offer, though I think it is best I wait. I am sure Lauren is in need for chi herself and what way to celebrate my birthday then with my lovely mate." Said Bo with a wink.
They make it back to the clubhouse, to a loud shout of "SURPRISE!" by all the party goers. As soon as Bo and Lauren's eyes met across the room both of their eyes turned bright blue of their succubus. Bo then walked automatically towards the blonde on the other side of the living room. Just as she reaches Lauren, Nadia then inserts herself between the two of them. A strong look of jealousy radiated of the human in waves. "Hey! You must be Bo, the one Lauren here keeps talking about." Interjects Nadia upon noticing the look of territorial rage on Bo's face.
"Yes, I am. Please excuse me for a minute I need to speak with Lauren in private." Replied Bo, as she moved around the brunette in order to take the blonde's hands into her own. Much to Lauren's relief. Bo led them into the back room that leads to the stairs. Lauren then pushed Bo up against the wall as she leaned in for a needy, lust filled kiss. Beginning a much-needed chi feed, flowing back and forth between them. Only breaking apart once oxygen became hard to come by. Bo held Lauren close, breathing in her scent and feeling the excited kick of their daughter between them.
"Oh god I missed you." Groaned Lauren into Bo's neck.
"I was only gone a few hours. But I missed you too." replied Bo, she then let go of Lauren long enough so she could caress her baby bump. "Mama missed you as well little one." Said Bo as she rubbed her hand around Lauren's abdomen.
We all know that, it's just that Nadia has been so clingy since she woke up. And doesn't seem to grasp the concept that her and I are no longer together. Hence why she stepped in between us earlier. She has been asking a lot of questions. About us and about you, if I didn't know any better; I would think she was gathering information on the fae." Responded Lauren.
"Well not much we can do about her just now though. Let's go party, since Kenzie went to all the trouble to throw me one." Said Bo, before giving Lauren a quick peck on the lips. The two of them join the party together and talked, laughed and danced the night away. Until a little after midnight after all the guests had gone home and Nadia was settled into the guest room just down the hall from Kenzie. Bo and Lauren crawled into the large four poster bed, "I have one more birthday present to give you..." said Lauren seductively.
Lauren then leaned in to kiss Bo, pushing her down onto her back. Lauren then kissed her way down Bo's neck and body leaving a trail of wet kisses in her wake. When she gets to Bo's wet and dripping centre, Lauren doesn't hesitate. She takes Bo's clit into her mouth and sucks, licks and lightly nips at it. As she does this, Bo bucks her hips in pleasure as she moans loudly. Prompting Lauren to slowly pump her fingers inside of Bo's convulsing core. Using a little bit of her sway powers to enhance the pleasure Bo was receiving. But not too much as one impending little succubus being on the way was enough to handle for the time being. And it definitely took a toll on their ability to keep themselves fed with chi. Bo screams in pleasure as Lauren brings her to an orgasmic peak. Lauren eases Bo through her orgasm, then makes her way back up Bo's body until she reaches her mouth. Lauren leans in for a sensual kiss, drawing some chi from Bo in the process. They then fall back onto the bed in a sweaty heap. Breathing heavily, as their bodies calm down enough for Bo to snuggle up behind Lauren. Resting her hand gently on Lauren's baby bump, she could feel their unborn daughter kicking beneath her hand. Lulling them both to a peaceful sleep at least for a few hours.
As the bright rays of dawn broke through the cracks in their master bedroom window blinds, Lauren is jerked awake with a sharp pain all over her body. "Bo, please wake up..." groaned Lauren in between the intense labour pains she was feeling.
"What is the matter?" questioned Bo groggily, as she slowly woke from her sleep.
"It's time Bo..."said Lauren as she breathed through the pain.
"It's time? Hang on is the baby coming? We better get you to the hospital...yes. The hospital would be good..." responded Bo, as panic of impending motherhood sunk in.
"No, I can't go to the hospital. Just call Trick he has arranged for a fae midwife to help deliver the baby. And help me get downstairs to my lab. Please Bo." Replied Lauren, as she got out of the four-poster bed. Bo got up as well and helped Lauren waddle out of the room and down the stairs to the main floor, in all the commotion Kenzie stumbled out of her own bedroom looking rather dishevelled.
"What's going on Bo? Doc?" asked Kenzie as she took in the sight of an in-pain Lauren being helped down the stairs.
"Lauren is in labour, call Trick for us will you please Kenz?" replied a rather distracted Bo.
"Sure thing!" answered Kenzie, as she scrambled to find where she tossed her phone after the chaos of Bo's birthday party. Bo and Lauren eventually make it to Lauren's basement clinic, after having to dodge empty cups, bottles and other party paraphernalia. Bo led Lauren over to the examination bed. And as soon as Lauren was laying on it as comfortable as she could be while experiencing contractions, Kenzie had arrived downstairs in the clubhouse 's basement clinic and lab.
"Hey guys, the trickster is on his way with the midwife. He will be here within the hour. Do you think you will last that long?" said Kenzie with a stressed out look about her. That was a clear match for Bo's panicked one.
"If my calculations are correct, I do believe I can hold on until they get here. As the rupturing of my membranes hasn't happened yet. At least I don't think so. Did you know that rupturing of the membrane is another way of saying my water hasn't broken yet?" rambled Lauren, as she distracted herself from the pain.
"Lauren, it isn't the best time for your sexy geek speak right now...but here take some of my chi you are going to need the energy." Said Bo, getting a little hot and flustered at hearing the doctor be her geeky self. She leaned over slightly so that she could meet the blonde's lips. Initiating the chi feed to give to her mate and unborn child. Lauren greedily takes in the chi that Bo gives her, before realising that she needs to stop before it is too much for Bo to handle. And breaks off the kiss.
An hour later, Kenzie bounded down the stairs with Trick and the midwife that he had used a couple of favours to convince her to be there. "Hey succubutts, Trick is here with Endora so please be decent as no one wants to see any kinky shit." Warned Kenzie, as she poked her head around the lab doors.
"It is okay Kenzie, nothing interesting is going on. Except me in excruciating pain." Replied Lauren sarcastically while practically crushing Bo's hand as a contraction ripped through her. Bo gave her a pained look in response, not wanting to find herself sleeping on the lounge if she said exactly what she was thinking and feeling at that moment.
"Right, well let's see what we have here..." Said Endora as she jumped right into business. Trick and Kenzie went back upstairs to the living room while they waited for the newest member of their family to be born.
Meanwhile downstairs in Lauren's Lab... "Doctor Lewis, tell me how long was it since your last contraction?" asked the midwife.
"Six minutes ago...why do you think it might be Braxton Hicks?" answered Lauren.
"No, you are definitely in active labour. I only ask because you are already eight centimetres dilated. I also believe you already ruptured the membrane during the night as you slept." Explained Endora as she completed her examination of Lauren.
"So does that mean we are close to meeting our little succubus?" questioned Bo curiously.
"Yes, it does mean that. However it could take another two hours before that happens." Explained Endora, who as she spoke took a seat at Lauren's desk as she settled in to wait out the remaining time for the doctor's labour. "Now Bo and Lauren let's make ourselves comfortable. As bringing a new succubus into the world is a taxing ordeal as the unborn succubus will draw extra energy from Lauren. Enough so that you Bo will need to be able to have enough chi of your own to feed them both. I know you won't want to leave your mates side at this point but from what I can see you are pretty drained." Instructed Endora, practically pushing Bo upstairs to take care of her needs.
"It's okay Bo, you need to feed. Why don't you call Dyson or someone who will give you some chi." Said Lauren reluctantly. She didn't want Bo to feed from anyone else but their circumstances had changed.
"You know I can't feed properly from anyone but you." Whined Bo, not wanting to do as both blonde doctors told her.
"I know Bo, it is the same for me. But perhaps some chi sips will help? At least it is something." Encouraged Lauren. With that Bo reluctantly did as she was told and went back upstairs. Only to find that both Dyson and Hale were already at the clubhouse. Upon her look of confusion Trick tried his best to explain their presence.
"I took the liberty to call them. I remember from when your grandmother was giving birth to Aoife, she needed more chi than I could provide. Being a blood sage and all. So I at the time contacted some of our friends who I knew wouldn't mind allowing her to sip their chi from them knowing that no sex could be had. I know it is different when it is of a cross species match, as the succubus half still needs to feed from others from time to time. Whereas when it is two succubus involved, they are more than capable of sustaining each other. With of course the only exception being when one of them was pregnant. Then it is on the non-pregnant succubus to feed all three. As you have learned." Explained Trick, in a way for him to be distracted from the reality that his granddaughter had a sexual appetite. And that he was about to become a great-grandfather for the first time in his very long lived life.
"Bo, take what you need. I know there are no romantic feelings involved in this. My wolf has come to terms with the fact that you aren't our mate. It realises that you are only ever meant to be apart of our pack. You, Lauren, Kenzie, Trick and Hale. Once the little one is born she will become apart of our pack as well." Said Dyson as he walked over to Bo.
He then initiates as kiss that entices Bo's succubus. Bo returns the kiss, taking as much chi as her inner succubus would allow. Considering that Dyson wasn't Lauren. She then broke the kiss, taking a step back away from the wolf. After looking in Kenzie's direction Hale then approached Bo. " I know this is going to be a little awkward, considering you and I have never had any sexual attraction or chemistry; but I want to do my share in helping you be able to feed both Lauren and your little one. So, take as much chi as you need." Bo didn't give much of a response beyond giving a nod off approval. Bo leaned in, barely touching her lips to Hale before she drew some of his chi.
"Thankyou for that, both of you. I better head back downstairs. So, I can be there with Lauren for the birth." said Bo, with a bright smile on her face. Trick walked over to Bo before she could reach the top of the basement stairs.
"Bo, take this with you. Place it on Lauren's wrist it will help her get through the birth. The first birth is always the most taxing on a succubus. Especially when she is giving birth to a child that is part Blood Sage." Said Trick as he hands Bo a charmed bracelet once worn by his late wife when she gave birth to Aoife.
"Thanks Trick, I will let you know how it all goes." Replied Bo gratefully before she headed downstairs to Lauren's private laboratory and clinic. Once Bo reaches Lauren, she places the bracelet around her wrist.
"What is that for?" questioned Lauren as she took a closer look at the piece of jewellery.
"It is to prevent creating an accidental thrall and to prevent you bleeding out during birth. It is mostly just a precaution Trick told me. He also said I need to be giving you regular doses of chi to help keep your energy up." Replied Bo with her cheeky grin.
"Bo, I hardly think this is the time for that... Did Trick say how likely it would be for me to haemorrhage?" Questioned Lauren in between painful contractions.
"He said it shouldn't be too likely, but do we really want to risk it?" replied Bo, as she took both of Lauren's hands. As she settled herself behind the blonde doctor.
"I suppose you're right..."replied Lauren, as she endured the pain of her next contractions. At that reply, Bo moved her head slightly so that she could reach the blonde's mouth. Kissing her deeply enough to trigger Lauren's succubus into feeding.
A few hours later, Bo was helping Lauren through her latest contractions as the fae midwife encouraged Lauren to push finally. "That's it Lauren, one more big push and you have your daughter in your arms..." said the midwife as Lauren pushed as hard as she could as her contraction hit her. Crushing both of Bo's hands in the process.
"Great job! Here you are ladies, your newborn daughter has arrived." Declared the midwife as she placed baby Charlotte into Lauren's waiting arms. While the nearby nurse tended to Bo's broken fingers. Setting them into place, for the time being until the two succubi could heal each other.
