Here we are sitting at a red light. All I can think of is last night.
Wow. Just wow. Did I say wow already? Last night was amazing. Lauren and I had gone toe to toe making love. She had grown tired of me dominating and had her way with me too. I woke up to shredded sheets. I laughed at the sight. Lauren was literally an animal in bed and I for one did not mind at all.
That was the second hottest night we ever had in bed second only to the night we conceived Charlotte. Lauren had worn me out that night too. But I will only tell you because a Succubus has a reputation to keep up. But I don't mind much if people find out. I am sure our moans and screams busted a lot of eardrums. But not Charlotte's. At one point I snuck into her room and put her headphones on. She flinched a bit but settled right back into her sleep. I am not one to gloat but Charlotte is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen.
I tried to pull the covers over me and felt the draft from the holes Lauren had torn in our sheets. I lightly chuckled as I turned over to snuggle with Lauren. I felt something that wasn't supposed to be there and well, I screamed.
That was a bad idea. The next thing I saw after I jumped out of bed was two shifters lightly roaring at me. Charlotte was on top of Lauren. So when I went to spoon with her I wrapped my arm around Charlotte instead.
"Ok what is she doing here? Bo asked softly.
"Well good morning to you too". Lauren laughed.
"I am serious Lauren. What is going on? Bo asked again.
"When I got up to check on her, she looked as if she was having a nightmare. I brought her in here to sleep with us. I don't think she slept a wink after you put her to bed". Lauren explained.
"Oh". Bo said shyly. She thought for sure her headphones would drown out their sounds. It was of no matter Bo would find a stronger pair. How else would they ever make love again without waking the baby?
"C'mon sweetie. Let's get you cleaned up and get you some breakfast". Lauren cooed into Charlotte's ears. The little shifter smiled at Bo as Lauren carried her out of the room.
Bo laughed and sat back down on the bed. This was embarrassing. She scared her own baby and would have likely been breakfast had Charlotte not recognized her. She couldn't help but think of last night all over again and bounced out of the room like a child ready to play with a new toy.
"It's ok sweetie your mother does not always wake up like that". Lauren smiled into Charlottte's chin. She could only imagine what Bo did the first time she had to change her or feed her. She laughed at the assortment of possibilities.
Lauren walked to the refrigerator and took out some fresh meat. Charlotte had never eaten vegetables yet but she was about to start her on that diet. Lea told her they don't normally eat vegetables but this was Lauren. Healthy food was a must.
"So...what's for breakfast? Bo asked stepping around Charlotte's high chair to kiss her on the chin. "Mama's sorry". She cooed.
"Charlotte is having steak and broccoli". Lauren said.
"Steak? Bo laughed. She had forgotten Charlotte was far along in her growth and had teeth that could cut through a picket fence.
"She's a growing baby Bo". Lauren laughed. She walked past Bo lifting Charlotte and her high chair in the air at the same time. Throwing a sheet down she set them back down.
"Here you go sweetie". Bo said putting Charlotte's food in front of her. She laughed when she tore into the vegetables first and made quick work of her steak. Bo helped her down and looked around the floor for food she may have thrown.
"Why do you think she's growing so fast? Bo asked Lauren holding up the high chair so Lauren could pull the sheet up.
"My professional opinion is because the shifter in her grows faster than a normal baby would". Lauren said softly.
"Good point and her being able to suck Chi already has to be a side effect of that". Bo laughed. She cringed when she thought of the first time she sucked Chi. She didn't know how to stop. That is something important Charly needs to learn.
When Lauren set Charlotte in her play pen. Bo snuck up behind her nearly knocking Lauren inside too.
"She's going to tear that thing up soon". Lauren chuckled.
"So are we going to talk about last night? Bo smirked kissing Lauren on her cheek as she took a bite of a muffin.
"Bo...". Lauren started.
"Lauren I know we didn't plan a moment but you looked so hot and we have had so much going on lately, that there my never be a time when we get that kind of quiet again". Bo said.
"I know we didn't. I was just going to say it was hot but I hope you don't have your hopes up because I am not sure if it worked". Lauren said softly. She hadn't felt any different yet but to be honest how was she supposed to know how to feel when she was pregnant when she didn't know with Charlotte.
"Well you have a lab upstairs and I have a...". Bo started.
"Bo. Don't start". Lauren laughed.
"What? I was just going to say I have a shower to take". Bo laughed. Lauren bowed her head blushing.
"C'mon Lauren. I want to know. We need to know. If someone comes for us again, we need to take precautions where you and our baby are concerned". Bo explained.
Lauren knew she was right. If she was already pregnant. They needed to know and it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
"Bo I will run some tests but I won't be a housewife". Lauren said.
"Wife? Whoa whoa whoa. I wasn't suggesting that yet". Bo laughed. But she knew what Lauren meant. She was never one to stay home. Not even with the Light Fae. With them both being unaligned all decisions about their lives were theirs.
"You know what I meant. I am not the stay at home while you go off to work type. I will work from home and make trips to the hospital, whether I am pregnant or not". Lauren explained softly putting a pot of coffee on.
"I just want you to be safe. Our baby and family to be safe. We have more than enough money for you to just...to just stay here". Bo said.
"I inherited that money but I didn't inherit laziness. If I want to go out and work, I will". Lauren said.
"Well lets go run the tests and then we will both know". Bo said. She was giddy to find out. Charlotte was still in her play pen and waving her hands around with her stuffed toys. Bo laughed knowing if she ever got annoyed those things would be nothing but cotton everywhere.
Lauren walked over and picked Charlotte up. "Come on baby. Let's go see if we made you a brother or sister last night". She cooed.
"Yay". Bo said bouncing in step behind them.
"Bo it might not have happened yet". Lauren warned her.
"If not we are going to have a lot of fun trying again and again". Bo winked as she made faces at Charlotte.
"Bo? Are you going to go or are we going to hold up traffic all day? Kenzi laughed pointing towards the cars behind them who were literally blasting their horns.
"Sorry". Bo said pulling off.
"Where were you or do I want to know? Kenzi asked taking a sip of coffee.
"I don't think you do want to know". Bo laughed.
"I should have known. Sex on the Succubus brain". Kenzi said.
"Clean story short. We tried to make Ethan last night and we don't if she's pregnant again yet". Bo said.
"Wait you guys hadn't even talked about that yet". Kenzi said.
"We don't have time to plan this. You have seen our lives since Charlotte was born. Problem after problem". Bo explained.
"That's true but if you wanted to know if she's pregnant why are we heading to the office? Kenzi asked.
"Lauren pushed me out of the house. She said my pacing was driving her crazy and she wanted to tidy up her lab a bit". Bo sighed.
"So you were hovering. Gotcha". Kenzi said giving Bo a thumbs up. It was still early. Bo called Kenzi and she was still in bed.
"I guess it's a good idea. To get back to work. Make sure we haven't lost any clients". Bo said speeding up.
"Speaking of clients. Tamsin and I ran into one of your old ones last night". Kenzi said. The guy seemed clingy and weird.
"Who? Bo asked.
"He said he was your feed at the hospital. His name is David". Kenzi said shaking her head. It took her hours to get him out of Geraldine's.
"I don't know a David and didn't use one to feed". Bo said looking at Kenzi.
"Ya see. I told Tamsin the guy was a flake". Kenzi said.
"Let's go by Geraldine's and check out your security camera. I need to see who this guy is". Bo said turning back around and heading towards the club.
"I should have asked for his ID but he looked old so I figured he's legal to be in my club". Kenzi said.
"Well I never met a David. Don't know a David". Bo said. She was shocked someone would say she fed off of them and she didn't.
"Yo popo. Bo said she never met the guy and he wasn't her feed". Kenzi said into her phone.
"What a weird ass. He was jonesing Bo too much last night. Let me know if you guys need any help". Tamsin said.
"Ohhh balls. You're right. I didn't tell Bo that yet. I guess I better. Call ya back later". Kenzi said hanging up her phone.
"What? Tell me what? Bo asked nearly swerving in the road.
"The guy seemed really into you. Like if he never saw you again, he'd die". Kenzi explained.
Bo cursed. If this guy was that into her, then he would likely come after her. Either way she needed to take more precautions.
"If he said I fed from him, he must be Fae and if he is we need to find out what he is and where he is fast! Bo screamed.
Kenzi held on as Bo accelerated. Within minutes they were inside Geraldines. Kenzi had an idea and since she closed down the bar she was sure it would help. She walked over and picked up a dirty glass she had set aside from the others.
"Do we use Lauren or Tamsin? Kenzi asked showing Bo the glass.
"Let's get the video first. Then we can run that to Tamsin and I will go home to have Lauren run the other tests. She will be in her lab most likely anyways". Bo said running to the security room.
Kenzi put the glass in a sack and waited for Bo to come out. Once Bo had the video tape and inserted a new one, they set the alarms and left.
"Call Tamsin and tell her we are on our way. I will call Lauren". Bo said. She was really glad she didn't have the Camaro, it would slow them down.
"Bo I'm not done yet. Charlotte made a mess and..." Lauren started.
"Lauren listen. Tell me you have the alarms set". Bo pleaded.
"Yes I do but why? What's wrong? Lauren asked worriedly.
"Kenzi and Tamsin met some guy last night that swore to them that I fed from him at the hospital. He wasn't my feed". Bo explained. This is why she wanted to start on another baby. There was always something going on or coming up lately.
"What do you know about him? Lauren asked playing with Charlotte.
"Nothing we got the security tape and Kenzi has a glass he drank out of last night". Bo said.
"Take the tape to Tamsin and bring the glass to me". Lauren said rubbing Charlotte's back. This guy was dumb if he was coming for them.
"That's the plan. We are almost at the Police station. I will drop Kenzi off there and then bring the glass to you". Bo said now running red lights.
Lauren hung up the call and looked around. She had the equipment she needed to test the old saliva from the glass. She looked at Charlotte and smiled. Alarms or not, she knew their baby would sense the danger and that would suit her well as she grew up.
There was no need for all the panic but it was better to be safe than sorry. She looked into the cameras she had set up in her lab. It was a big screen because she wanted to make sure she saw everything while she worked and had already set up the room so Charlotte would be comfortable and had room to play. She sensed the Succubus' worry but he would have his hands full if he came for them when Bo wasn't there.
She walked to her desk waiting for her blood work to be complete. She knew it was important to Bo and she would be disappointed if they hadn't conceived another baby yet. Her body was giving her no indications that anything had changed. She felt bad for nearly mocking Bo about it. When would they have time to say when they wanted another baby? This new situation was proof that their lives had not settled down yet and nothing in life could be planned to perfection.
Lauren started thinking if she could remember seeing anyone weird lurking around them. It was a Fae hospital. Anyone could have been there. She knew most of the staff and Doctors. That's why she was thankful that Bo remembered she loved that hospital. She poured herself a glass of water and disarmed the alarms so Bo could get in without alarming Charlotte.
Kenzi and Tamsin.
"Hey what's up? Tamsin asked as Kenzi ran to her desk.
"We need you to look at this video and see if anyone in your department knows David from last night". Kenzi explained.
"That guy is still at it? Tamsin laughed.
"Well if Bo don't know him, how could he know her and know she's a Succubus? Kenzi asked. This was too close to home and freaky even for her.
"Yeah Bo was adamant that she only fed from the same guy". Tamsin said. She remembered Bo being hesitant to leave Lauren's side. But the Valkyrie insisted once Bo was too agitated to fake not being hungry. She also remembered when Charlotte cried when Bo handed her to Tamsin.
Tamsin looked over the video and called every cop in the squad room to have a look. None of them recognized him and nothing came up in the police data base so far from the picture of David that they pulled from the video.
"Well either he's not a criminal or he hasn't been caught yet". Tamsin said watching the video again trying to find a clue.
"He knows of Bo and or wants her. I knew I should have carded him to at least get a last name". Kenzi groaned.
Tamsin closed her eyes trying to think of something he said or did that would give her Cop mind a clue of what he was really after or wanted. But she was drawing a blank.
"What did he drink? Tamsin asked. Maybe his favorite drink would show where he was from.
"I had no idea and knowing Lauren she's likely to have scrubbed it clean trying to pull his DNA off of it". Kenzi said. Looking at the video it was a clear liquid for all they knew and Kenzi didn't smell the glass.
Tamsin laughed out loud. "Knowing Lauren and Charlotte. One of them will have his scent in a matter of minutes if he left any on the glass".
"I got nothing. I can't even remember if he even wore cologne". Kenzi said.
"Let's keep digging". Tamsin said pulling out a chair for Kenzi to sit.
Bo and Lauren
Bo had been home nearly two hours while Lauren tested whatever she could pull from the glass. The wait was doing nothing to calm the Succubus down. Not even Charlotte's adorable snoring.
"Anything? Bo asked stopping her pacing.
"Nothing yet. And you're sure you don't know a David or ever fed from one? Lauren asked.
"No. I only had one feed while you were in your coma and his name was Drake and I haven't seen him since the last time we fed. He's married with a family and told me he needed to get home to them". Bo explained.
Lauren quirked her lips. That wasn't a clue at all. She never heard of a Drake but trusted what Bo told her.
Bo started pacing again. Maybe she was panicking for nothing but who shows up at Geraldine's and specifically asks for her. She doesn't work there but knows Kenzi. She jumped when she saw Charlotte wake up and charge down the stairs.
"Charlotte! Come here". Lauren screamed. The shifter turned around and did as she was told jumping into Lauren's arms. They looked at the big screen monitor and saw a man at their front door.
"She shifts so quickly". Bo laughed but turned serious when she heard a hard knock at the door. She nodded and Lauren followed behind her still carrying Charlotte in her arms. To let her go would mean someone's sudden death.
Once they were downstairs Lauren looked into the cameras again and he was still there. She followed Bo and then stopped halfway to the door.
Bo turned to them once more and Lauren nodded for her to open the door. Bo turned back around with her hand on her sheath and opened the door. Lauren took a deep breath holding Charlotte closer to her. It was getting hard to restrain her from jumping out of her arms.
"Who are you? Bo asked staring at the man in front of her. He was dark haired and a bit shorter than she was. He looked a few years younger than her.
"You're Bo right? David asked.
"Yeah. What's it to you? Bo asked slightly stepping forward. Lauren stepped backwards however when Charlotte roared.
"We need to talk". David said.
"The only thing you need to do is tell us is why you lied and said I fed from you. I don't even know you buddy". Bo snapped closing the door a bit.
"You're right. You don't know me. But I know all about you. You're Bo Dennis and you were raised in Grimley". David said.
"Yeah and you could have Googled that. What do you want and more importantly who the fuck are you? Bo asked. Her Succubus' patience and anger was starting to amplify with her own.
"You don't need to fear me. I just wanted to find you". David explained.
"Bullshit. You sound like a stalker from what my friends told me about you". Bo snapped.
"Mom told me". David said. Bo was a bit taller than him and had dark hair as he had read from papers describing Bo that Mary had in an old desk.
"Your mom? Who is she? Bo asked closing the door behind her. This dude was about to get his ass kicked for riling up her patience and lying to Kenzi and Tamsin.
"Our mom". David said softly.
"I'm an only child". Bo laughed. This guy was a real joker.
"No you're not. I'm your brother. David Dennis".
Bo laughed. That was a lie. They didn't have any other kids. Her mother kicked her out and seemed glad she would have the house to herself.
"Mary Dennis didn't have any other kids boy". Bo snapped.
"No she didn't. I'm your step-brother". David finally confessed.
"What? Bo asked. Sam Dennis had been dead for years. When she went home she saw nothing that indicated there was another child in the family.
"Mary told me you had returned home and when she gave me your name just before she slipped into a severe state of Dementia, I started searching for you. Took me awhile to find you. I thought I would find you last night at the clubhouse". David explained.
"So David Dennis. What do you want? I made peace with Mary Dennis long ago". Bo said.
"I want to meet my niece. Sam Dennis had an affair that Mary didn't know about. She didn't even know about me until I introduced myself. That was before you came. I had gone out of town and when I returned she said you had been home". David said softly.
"Buddy I don't care how you know about my daughter but if you go near her or Lauren, I will kill you". Bo snapped grabbing his shirt collar.
"I work at the hospital. I saw your name on some paperwork. Once I got confirmation of who you were, I knew I had to track you down". David said.
"You bastard. You looked over Lauren's medical records? I should kill you now". Bo said tightening her hold on his shirt.
"No. I found your name on the visitor list". David said. He thought it would be easier than this.
"Then you must know what Lauren and I are. It would be safer for you to get the hell off of my property and stay off". Bo said finally releasing him. She flashed her blue eyes hoping he would finally get the hint.
"I know what you are. I asked Drake and he told me". David said.
"Drake wouldn't tell you that. Now for the last time get off of my property". Bo snapped. He would never make such a foolishly dangerous decision of telling a human about the Fae.
"I can't leave not without Charlotte". David screamed.
The Succubus stirred violently but Bo pushed her down.
"You will never get near my daughter". Bo snapped. If she had a brother why was he just now showing up? She didn't believe his story.
"I can always get to her". David said.
"What? You have balls dude just how will you do that? Bo asked. Her Succubus had a delicious idea. Bo walked towards the house and opened the door.
"Come to mama Charly! Bo cooed.
That was it. Lauren lost her grip on the young shifter. They had taken a seat on the couch but Lauren hadn't let her go yet and had no choice but to when Bo called her.
When the young shifter reached Bo. Bo said "Snack time baby".
David nearly wet himself when Charlotte launched herself at him knocking him down.
"Still want her? Bo laughed watching Charlotte drool all over him.
"I don't want her. Mom needs her". David panted as he peed on himself.
TBC.
