Bo's POV

"Lauren! You need to get here as soon as you can."

That was the last thing I remembered saying after Kenzi and Tamsin had dropped to the floor.

It took a lot of fidgeting to get Charlotte somewhat comfortable in my arms. I had tons of scratches all over my arms. The bigger problem was still in my arms.

Charlotte was still pulling Chi. How did my baby know how to mass Chi suck already? She wasn't even two years old yet. I didn't want to cover her mouth because that would be like telling her she can't be what she is. A Succubus. I won't allow her to ever think she is a monster like I always thought I was. I paced back and forth with her in my arms. It had already been an hour. I wasn't even sure how much Chi she drained from the colony. But I did know if I put her down she would scurry away and harm even more people that she wasn't reaching. Her lungs were still so young, it could not be too many.

I had an idea and it was the last thing I wanted to resort to. I turned around slowly and walked carefully down into the basement. Looking around I spotted a thick blanket. It stunk a bit but that didn't matter to my plan. With Charly still sucking Chi and scratching away at my arm to be free, I grabbed the blanket with my other hand. I walked back to the door and dropped the blanket on the floor to block the airway. Turning back around I walked to the middle of the room and set Charlotte down. She lunged towards me but I stopped her. Well my Succubus stopped her. I hated going this route because I felt like this would scar her forever.

I..we felt horrible but it had to be done. That's how I stood there. Looking at my baby. The darkness had all consumed me. I knelt down beside her. Never once taking my blues off of her. I looked her over. She looked so much Lauren even in Lioness form. I poked at her. Her fur was so soft. I had used the one weapon I knew that could stop a Succubus. A Koushang. When she lunged at me, I placed it around her neck as we fell to the floor with me on the bottom to lesson the blow of the fall. I had always carried it with me since Lauren gave it to me. Especially recently with all of the stuff going on. I watched her choke out black smoke as she struggled to breathe. She was so smart she was trying to pull if off but I held it down with all my might. I could see her struggling against my strength too. "I'm so sorry baby but mama didn't know what else to do."

I fell to the floor and away from her in guilt. I never wanted to scare her. She didn't know what she was doing and I didn't know any other way to stop her. Other than this. My Succubus was boiling. I felt her pick up Charly cradling her close in our arms and everything else was complete darkness.

That's when I heard a voice. I was expecting it to be Lauren since I left a note upstairs on the counter for her to come down here. But it wasn't Lauren's voice. It was Charlotte's. Our baby brought me back. At least that's what Lauren told me when I was Bo again. She said she found shifters on top of shifters that she had sent ahead because she was afraid she wouldn't get here in time.

Charlotte couldn't have done that. I couldn't have done that. The blanket was pretty thick so there was no way any of us could have pulled more Chi. That's when I looked up towards the ceiling. There were vents on the front and back walls. I did it. My Succubus took more Chi and apparently lives. Who did it? I have to know. I can feel beads of sweat on my face. My insides were still boiling. Who came in under my reign and took lives I didn't authorize them to? I chose who lives or dies. Me. Isabeau Dennis. She's coming back. She's pissed off and she should be.

"Who? Who did this? I will lay the smack down on the bitch that came into my town and did this." The Succubus snapped. I was in the darkest daze I had ever known. Faeranoia with a capital Fae.

Lauren's POV

This was not good. Bo had called me just as I was reading over Lea's preliminary toxicology results. At first glance I read she had been sedated with a strong dose of Medetomidine-Ketamine. But not strong enough as she was already talking to me and forming a plan to make sure nothing like this was about to happen to her again. She was sure the Williams' were not gone but I was sure they were.

When Bo called I nodded and walked away. The way she said my name I knew what was coming. Her Succubus. I had grown to learn the tone meant she was about to go full Succubus. I figured it was due to someone threatening the gang or Charly. When I arrived I didn't think it would be the other way around. "Shit."

I slowly walked towards them. My heels hitting the floor like soft rain. I didn't know this Succubus. Her eyes were nearly Navy blue and she was staring straight ahead. Cradling Charlotte close to her as if someone were a threat to take her. I did know that she wouldn't hurt me because I saw her head turn sideways and back up. I was nearly toe to toe with her now.

"Charlotte baby I need you to shift now." I said softly and watched her shift. I was amazed how easily she could shift and not scream out in pain. My doctor mind just has to know and I will once our lives finally calm down or as calm as Fae life can be.

I ran over and placed Charlotte in a makeshift crib. I could still see tints of blue in her eyes. Likely because Bo's Succubus was on the surface. I smiled at the Koushang around her neck. It meant that she must have been sucking Chi and that Bo put it on her to stop her. Once i was sure she was visibly ok, I pulled it off of her and turned back to the Succubus.

"Just tell me who? Who dared to disturb my reign? The Succubus growled.

"Bo I need you to listen to me ok sweetie." I pleaded softly touching her arm as she snapped it away from me.

"Stay here and watch my baby. Nobody disturbs my rule." The Succubus snapped in Lauren's direction.

I smiled softly. "Bo I'm your Doctor remember? I could spot your feeding signature from miles away. There is no other threat here." I said pointing around the room.

"You better be right Lauren. I will kill anyone that comes for my family." The Succubus seethed.

"I promise sweetie. At some point you must have fed after you called me. Charly's signature is almost identical to yours but you both fed. There is no other Succubus." Lauren explained gently.

"Charly?! Where's Charly? I watched her cry out as her blue eyes turned back to brown.

"She's ok. She's here Bo." Lauren said pointing towards the crib. Charly had fallen asleep. She looked like Bo when she slept. Like she didn't have a care in the world.

Bo walked over to the crib. She wanted to reach down and touch Charly but she knew waking her could start her attempts at a mass Chi suck all over again. When she was first born Bo thought she would need to feed her herself, but the Doctors said she could eat tiny bits of meats and drink milk. She would never forget the first few hours of panic thinking she would need to feed her Succubus but nobody thought she was a Succubus since she was only showing her blue eyes to Bo.

"We have a very powerful baby." Bo said softly.

"Yes we do." Lauren said just as she stepped towards them.

"How many do you think are out there? Bo asked.

"I passed a lot of people on the way Bo. Fae and humans." Lauren said.

"Then I have to go to work. You two stay here and lock the door behind me. I can't guarantee some of them won't wake up pissed off and ready for revenge." Bo said.

"Bo I don't like that idea. There are humans out there, what if they are armed or need medical attention? Lauren asked worriedly.

"Then the hospitals and clinics are about to be busy. I can only revive them, I can't fix their anger without pulsing them which I can't do anyways without exposing the Fae." Bo said.

"Just come back and tell me when you think you're done. This could be a lot bigger than we think." Lauren said.

"Wait I have a better idea. I have our Honda outside. It's loaded with Charly's toys and blankets. All we'd have to do is drive down the street as I stand on top to revive them. That way I would reach a lot of people and keep you guys close." Bo said.

"Ok. That means one of us has to pick Charlotte up without waking her." Lauren laughed softly.

"Ok Doctor. I know that's code for me." Bo smiled.

Bo bent down gently trying not to touch the sides of the crib. Lifting Charlotte up she heard a small roar but thankfully she was still asleep. "Come on. Let's get you two into the car and then I can start reviving the crowd in the club." She whispered.

Ten minutes had passed since Lauren and Charlotte sat waiting for Bo. Lauren nearly laughed when she saw Kenzi and Tamsin following her. Looking like they wanted to kick somebody's ass but couldn't because it was Charlotte and Bo's doing.

Kenzi and Tamsin took the squad car and followed closely behind them with Kenzi driving. Tamsin wanted to keep her guns ready in case she needed to shoot someone.

"All set? Bo asked softly.

"Bo do you really think Nakedra won't wake up with you on top of the car? What if Lauren hits a rock or something? Kenzi asked.

"Way ahead of you Kenzi. I have baby headsets and I already put them on her. We'll need them for the next time Lauren and I..." Bo said nearly blushing a deep red color.

"Ok. Ok I get it. I don't need the deets. Geesh." Kenzi laughed.

"If you two are done, we should get going." Lauren said looking around at all the bodies all over the street.

"Lauren's right let's go." Tamsin said rubbing her guns together.

Everyone climbed in and Bo climbed on top of their car. Lauren slowly pulled away and started off down the road. Thankfully nobody was actually in the middle of the street. But she did have to swerve in and out of the cars lining the streets. It was a warm night and Bo's orange-red chi went into windows, tailpipes and opened mouths. The sound of cars starting behind them was progress.

Bo's POV

This wasn't as easy at it looked. The swirls were spiking my Succubus' hunger. We had already fed but she wanted more and I just couldn't allow her to feed right now. The car windows were locked so that Charlotte's Succubus wouldn't wake her up. I did see a lot of people's eyes open when the chi poured down and into them. Tamsin said she was cocked and locked for any impending danger that she would see from sitting on top of her squad car. To be honest I couldn't wait for this to be done. So we could all go home. I know Tamsin and Kenzi would likely crash and I didn't mind, we had plenty of room and Kenzi had made sure the Fae had cleared out of Geraldine's. It was crazy how many people Charly was able to drain. There was nothing we could do right now to teach her to know when to stop. Look how old I was until I learned. I don't want that for her. She should have as normal childhood as she can. Nothing like how I grew up.

Lauren and I weren't the Dennis'. We would never embarrass her for what she is. A beautiful baby. I can only imagine her first official sentence. I bet it will have to do something with medicine. I laughed at the thought and forgot I was supposed to be reviving people.

After nearly 10 miles I decided that I should be done. I didn't see anymore bodies and whatever was left I am sure Tamsin could find out by checking in with the police station.

"I'm already ahead of you Succubus. My guys and gals should be able to track down if there are other bodies out there", Tamsin said when we finally pulled into our driveway.

"Easy Kenzi", Bo said watching her bounce from the back seat. It was already going to be a chore getting Charlotte inside without waking her up. But then again Lauren and Bo were both home and not in immediate danger.

"I wish I could take a blood sample so I can run some tests." Lauren sighed walking behind Bo as she carried Charlotte inside.

"I know babe. But I can wake her up if you'd like." Bo said softly.

"No it's just the Doctor in me has to know what's going on with her and if there is anything we can do to slow down her growth. She's already bigger than she was yesterday." Lauren said closing the door behind Tamsin.

"That's it. I can wake her up." Bo said rubbing Charlotte's back.

"No Bo. It's ok really." Lauren said.

"No it's not. You will never sleep tonight if you don't get these tests started", Bo laughed. Lauren would toss and turn in the bed for hours when she had something medical on her brain. Which was most nights.

"My guys are still out looking around and haven't found any bodies or stalled cars." Tamsin nodded towards Lauren and Bo who nodded back.

Kenzi and Tamsin headed to the kitchen. Bo, Charly and Lauren headed to her lab. Bo knew this would come in handy because it would mean that Lauren didn't have to go off into the night to the hospital to run tests that she could do at home.

Bo was still holding Charlotte and Lauren laughed but she knew it was simply Bo trying to be a better mother than she was raised with. She was relenting in her affections towards Charlotte. She felt the same way. Hopefully now they could sit down and talk about how she was conceived but deep down she knew they both knew. It was something they had never tried and if she thought it through thoroughly she would never get around to taking Charlotte's blood.

"Doctor? Something wrong? Bo smirked in her direction.

"Ummm no nothing. I'm just getting my needles ready." Lauren said walking over to grab a few.

"I think we conceived her that night." Bo winked knowing Lauren must have been thinking about it the way she was looking at Charlotte and then back at Bo.

"Yes I think you just may be right." Lauren coughed trying to tame her Lioness wanting to ravish Bo right there on the table.

Bo rocked Charlotte as Lauren inserted the needle. She felt her move but she never woke up. Once Lauren was sure she had enough, she stepped back and nodded towards Bo.

"I'm taking her to bed." Bo said softly walking out of the lab.

Lauren rubbed the back of her neck and sighed. From what Bo told her Charlotte was far advanced than any other Succubus she had ever studied since Bo. She found a few outside of Toronto but never studied them beyond lab tests and paperwork the other Fae Doctors sent to her.

This had to be Bo's blood. They all know Bo is very powerful. It worried Lauren knowing she would need to feed but not know how to stop yet.

She could always ask Lea about raising a Lioness she didn't have anyone to ask about raising a Succubus. From stories Bo told her Mary Dennis wasn't good or accepting at all. Not even when Bo was barely 8. That was a long time down the road for them. She sighed waiting for the tests to complete.

Hours had passed and Lauren was still up and in her lab. She would check the results in the morning when she had fresh eyes. She finally walked out and noticed Tamsin and Kenzi had passed out watching tv. She shut it off and went to check on Charly. She was asleep in her crib. Lauren checked the windows, the baby monitor, set the security cameras and headed to their bedroom

She smiled when she entered. Bo was passed out on the bed with her blade in her hand as if she was fighting someone or something. She gently took it out of her hand and snuggled up next to her resting her head on her chest. The Succubus noticed the weight and stretched her arm out for Lauren and they fell asleep after that.

The next morning

"Doc. Doc. Must you be so loud at making breakfast? Kenzi groaned from the couch. When she heard a louder noise, she knew that wasn't Lauren or Bo.

"What the hell is going on? It's too early. It's barely 5 am." Tamsin said sitting up.

Kenzi was already up and in the kitchen. When she saw who it was she laughed. "Oh man. I wonder who's gonna spank her first?!

"What? Who? Tamsin said stomping into the kitchen.

"Man Lauren is going to freak. Those are her favorite bagels." Kenzi laughed.

Tamsin and Kenzi stopped laughing when they heard roars.

"Shit. Shit. Shit." Tamsin said.

"Yeah. What the hell is going on now? Kenzi asked looking around.

"I hope it's just Lauren." Tamsin said. And it was as they watched Lauren running down into the kitchen. She had not shifted yet though.

"What's going on? Is this how you baby-sit? Lauren asked.

"Hey now. We are guests and we woke up to this mess." Kenzi said holding her hands up.

"Yeah it's not our fault your baby can do this." Tamsin laughed.

"We'll help clean up though once Kedra is done with her snack." Kenzi laughed. This baby had literally raided their refrigerator. There was bagels, lunch meat, thawed and frozen meats on the ground. She figured she most have rocked it to make the frozen meat fall from the freezer.

"Kenzi how many names do you have for this baby? Tamsin laughed.

"Hey I named her. I can use any name I want." Kenzi laughed. Lauren smiled at them. It was nice to have some normalcy.

"Where is Bo? Never known her to sleep so hard." Kenzi asked.

"She's sleeping. I think taking Chi and reversing it took a toll on her." Lauren said.

"Or she's just allowing you to handle this." Tamsin said pointing at Charlotte. The baby seemed like she never noticed they were in the room.

"I'm waiting for the bigger messes that she will handle." Lauren winked.

"You're evil Doc and I love it." Kenzi laughed.

"Hey what's going on? Bo asked with her blade in hand.

"Just watching your bay bay eat." Kenzi laughed.

"Umm and nobody thinks that ants could crawl inside of the refrigerator? Bo asked.

"Girl no ant would be going near that mess. If they did they're already dead." Tamsin laughed.

Bo walked over and closed the doors. Charlotte was finally done. Bo grabbed a broom and dust pan. Lauren picked up bowls, plastic bags and packages. They watched Charlotte walk over towards the couch and stretched out on the floor. She had not shifted back yet and they were fine with it. At least they knew where she was and that she was safe.

"Why can't my baby just feed off of Chi for food it is far less messy? Bo sighed.

"She's our baby and we get just as hungry. Besides you eat regular food too." Lauren laughed.

"So are you going to give her a bath? Or am I? Bo asked.

"Bobo wake up dude. Like that she will give herself a bath. Lauren can too but I don't want to see a demonstration Doc." Kenzi said.

"I won't ever show you that Kenzi or you Tamsin." Lauren laughed noticing the Valkyrie's face.

"Will you show me? That could be kind of hot." Bo said with her eyes turning blue.

"Uh we're still here! Tamsin said.

Bo snapped out of her arousal when she heard a roar.

"Doc. Doc. Not here please! Kenzi said.

"That wasn't me. Not again." Lauren sighed.

The four turned and saw Charlotte running for the door knocking it over.

"Damn dude that was a brand new door and a lot stronger than the other doors." Kenzi said. She had ordered it herself. A highly expensive, high class wood door. Looking outside they found Charlotte taking on a young Cub.

"Oh man this is just like Nala and Simba. Charly is kicking his ass. Pin him baby. Pin him! Kenzi screamed from the doorway.

"Dude this is awesome but uhh what can we do? Tamsin asked.

"Pop some popcorn." Kenzi said.

"Who is that kid? Bo asked Lauren.

"I don't know but I'm sensing something." Lauren said walking over to the baby shifters and separating them. The Lion cub was harder to control so Bo picked Charlotte up.

"What do you got Doctor? Tamsin asked shifting into cop mode.

"How old do you think he is? 3 or 4 years maybe? Lauren asked.

"I am terrible at trying to guess people's ages. Especially when it comes to the Fae." Tamsin said looking over the cub.

"I am guessing about 3 or 4 years Doc. Why? Kenzi asked.

"Because he smells..." Lauren started.

"He's a cub babe of course he smells." Bo said.

"No that's not what I meant. He smells like one of the Una Mens goons." Lauren said holding him up.

"What?! The trio screamed.

"Well. Well. If it isn't Doctor Lewis in the flesh." A voice roared.

"Bo take Charlotte in the house. In fact take both of the cubs." Lauren said.

"No! My son will stay here! The Lioness roared.

"Lauren? What's going on? Who is that bitch? Bo asked with her eyes flashing blue.

"It's the woman that forced me to eat the Una Mens seed. Now take Charlotte inside! Lauren screamed pushing Bo backwards.

"But Lauren! Bo screamed not wanting to leave her alone.

"It's ok Bo! Lea screamed running up to the group.

"Lea please don't interfere." Lauren pleaded.

"Interfere? Honey I came to watch you kick her ass. Now about that popcorn." Lea said nodding to Kenzi.

"Yeah. Let's go! Kenzi said running into the house with Tamsin, Lea, Charlotte and Bo reluctantly following behind her.

The five were inside with Bo and Lea looking out the window. Kenzi and Tamsin had gone to make the popcorn and grab a few beers. Bo cradled Charlotte close to her. Lea watched them closely knowing once Lauren roared it would ignite the younger shifter's anger.

"Shit my headphones." Bo said thinking of the same thing.

Bo gently placed the headphones over Charlotte's ears and turned her around to face the TV that Kenzi had already set on a cartoon. Once they were all settled and had a good view, Bo turned back to window.

"So Lexie. Finally get the mole on your ass removed? Lauren laughed before shifting.

"Speaking of asses. Yours is about to be mine." Lexie roared shifting too.

All that could be heard to everyone but Charly was loud roars. Lexie's baby was placed inside of her car and strapped in his seat. The gang saw the car rocking hard once he heard his mother's roars. In spite of the drama going on outside Bo wished she had a pair of headphones for him too. He can't help it if his mother is a bitch.

Bo turned back to check on Charlotte and sighed when she saw her giggling and bouncing.

Claws exposed. Teeth digging in. Lauren and Lexie were in full fighting mode. Bo's Succubus nearly surfaced when she saw Lexie bite into Lauren but knew she had to stay out of it.

"Is that all you got? Lauren roared lunging at her again.

"That seed should have been mine and then maybe I could be getting it on with the unaligned Succubus." Lexie roared as she lunged for Lauren barely scratching her across the neck. The move left her exposed because Lauren was now on top of her. One long punch and scratch down her chest and Lauren hit her mark. Lexie was bleeding out.

"It didn't have to be this way. But sending your son ahead of you must have meant that you were after my daughter. Foolish woman." Lauren roared exposing her teeth as she still the shifter pinned down.

"I would have raised the little bitch to be mine and Bo-b-cakes." Lexie said mockingly.

That was it and Lauren had enough. Taking one last punch, she rammed her claw deep into her chest and when she brought it back out, blood was pouring everywhere.

Lauren climbed off of her waiting for her to take her last breath. "And now for your son." She said.
