"Lauren Lewis-Dennis if you don't stop doing this shit, you are really going to piss me off." Aife laughed.

Lauren never flinched she just stared at the ocean. Bo was swimming alongside a banana boat as Charlotte, Ethan and Dillon laughed. She rocked Amani in her arms as she watched the boat take another turn. "Lewis-Dennis?." She spoke softly.

"Well, if you are going to marry her, why not take her name or Lewis-Dennis-McCorrigan. I won't mind." Aife smiled as she sipped on her drink. "In fact, I would be proud."

"I'll think about it." Lauren smiled as Charlotte splashed her brothers in the face with water.

"Give me my granddaughter and go join them." Aife tossed her glass to the ground and pulled Amani from the woman's arms. She laughed at Lauren. She can't stop being Lauren for five minutes of play. The movies were a bust because all Charlotte wanted to do was talk. So, back to the beach they went. The water was lit up all around so they could see and enjoy themselves.

"C'mon Lauren, try to enjoy yourself. Okay?." Bo smiled softly.

"Who says I'm not enjoying myself?." Lauren made faces at Dillon and he laughed.

"Take your mental lab coat off and let your hair down. This is our vacation and you should be enjoying it. Staring all the time is making you miss out." Bo spoke softly as they moved through the water.

"Okay." Lauren literally pulled hair out of its ponytail and she shook her head to loosen her locks. "But I was enjoying my soon to be my wife and our family." She winked at Bo.

"We still have a day or two before we marry. I want this time with you too." Bo pulled Ethan from behind Charlotte and put him in front of her. Then did the same with Dillon. She smiled at the sight. Charlotte looks like Lauren with the long hair and the boys are already handsome.

Lauren reached and pulled Charlotte onto her back. They turned and swam away from the boat and Bo watched them go. "Come on boys. We are going too." She cooed and pulled the twins on her own back.

Charlotte laughed and kicked the water. She stretched out on Lauren and waved her arms in the air. "You like this water huh?." Lauren laughed. When Charlotte kicked again, she had her answer.

Bo smiled as the boys climbed off of her and swam towards their mother and sister. Finally, the ones big enough to swim are swimming. Then she thought of Amani. That baby is as special as the others but she's also the reason Bo is fast enough to do what she can do now. It still haunts her that Dillon was kidnapped and all she had was her car to chase them down with. Let it go, she scolded herself after telling Lauren to enjoy herself.

Lauren. Lauren is about to be her wife. Her eyes watered at the thought. For years people thought Bo was the one needing to make a choice when in Bo's reality, Lauren made the choice. She chose to stick by Bo after the Una Mens had killed her humanity. As fragile as it was, Lauren's mind could have been just as fragile. She thought she was a monster after being turned into a shifter. The woman has never looked more beautiful. Bo is so grateful that Lauren was able to maintain the parts of her that Bo loves the most. She's caring. She's smart. She's thoughtful. And Bo's favorites, she's beautiful and the mother of her children.

"Bo?." Lauren spoke softly.

"Huh?." Bo blinked away the water that had been splashed in her face.

"It's time to you know what and put the kids to bed." Lauren smiled.

"Right. You know what it is, and let's go." Bo smiled as she scooped the boys up and Lauren grabbed Charlotte. The you know what went as all of Charlotte's baths had gone. Luckily for them she couldn't fight sleep and fell into her bed like a kid falling into a bed of cotton.

Aife had already put Amani in bed and sat in her room on babysitting duty. Bo laughed knowing she was just being a grandmother. But she's glad for the help because now she can go on her date. She smiled as she walked to Charlotte's room and found Lauren double checking her sheets and blanket were tucked in right. "She won't get cold babe." Bo whispered from the door.

"I know but I call it a blanket of love." Lauren smiled as she walked out and took Bo's hand.

Down the stairs they went and then took the elevator to the bottom floor. Bo led them to a secluded part of the beach. Lauren smiled at the candles, wine and blankets that were laid out before them. "We get to relax too." Bo smiled as she pulled the doctor onto the small dancefloor and slowly rocked her in her arms. "I love you, Lauren. I am so in love with you. I can't believe that you picked me but I'm so grateful that you did." She spoke against the blonde's hair.

"Bo, we picked each other. You didn't have to do all that you did. You could have left me dead. Or not come looking for me at all. You did more than Dyson did. You did more than any Fae ever has. I love you too. So much." Lauren squeezed the woman in her arms. Bo was so warm against her. They rested their heads on each other's shoulders and danced for another half hour before Bo bent down and pulled Lauren to sit with her.

"If we keep this up, we won't have much for our honeymoon." Bo smiled.

"Ohhh we are going to have a lot to do on our wedding night." Lauren smiled.

"Lauren!? We have four already! Give me a few years, ok?!." Bo blushed.

"I didn't say I was going to give you another one of my babies." Lauren gently nudged the woman with her breast.

Bo scratched her ear on her shoulder as she shook off the want and sudden need to take the doctor right then and there. "Ahh what the hell." She pulled the woman on her lap and kissed her. She gripped blonde locks in her hands to control the kiss. Lauren can't swallow her tongue but it was in there far enough for her to. Lauren rocked against her as they built up friction. Bo was sure she came in her pants but didn't care. This is just as good as making love to the woman. She pulled back to breathe the woman in. She rested her lips on Lauren's neck and kissed it. "We are going to be wonderful wives."

"Yes, we are." Lauren whispered against Bo's hair.

"I could have been just as content as your love." Bo smiled.

"No. You are going to be my wife. No. I will correct myself. I am going to be your wife. Mrs. Lewis-Dennis-McCorrigan." Lauren smiled through tears.

"No. I will take your name. I won't argue about this." Bo wiped the woman's tears away with her own.

"You know I never knew Fae could do this. That Fae could cry. For five years and some change, I never saw that change. You changed my mind so much about them. You changed my mind so much about me." Lauren held Bo's head in her hands and kissed her forehead as Bo sobbed in her arms.

"I don't even know why I'm crying." Bo blushed and wiped away at her face.

"You don't have to have a reason. Not with me. Ever". Lauren pulled Bo's head down on her shoulder and wrapped her arms tightly around her. There they sat as Bo rocked in Lauren's arms and the blonde never loosened her grip.

Bo finally pulled back and pushed Lauren up and off of her. They sat. They drank wine. They stargazed. They stood and went back to their hotel room.

Bo was the last to shower as she walked out blotting her hair dry. "This time tomorrow night. We will be closer to our wedding." She smiled when she found Lauren lightly snoring in the bed. She gently climbed in and spooned the woman. Rest my love, she thought as she wished sleep would take her but her best dreams are in her arms and down the hall.

She looked at the ceiling and their life played like a movie. Every misunderstanding. Every ache to have this woman in her arms again. Every break of not understanding why Lauren wanted a break.

The truth is Lauren held so much from years of training herself to do so. While Bo could have gently pulled it out of her, she couldn't bring herself to do it. It would be like that time she nearly thralled Dyson into loving her again. She wanted Lauren to love her because she loved her. Not because of some Fae power. She had been forced enough as it was by the Fae to do their bidding. How could the woman she loves make her love her? Lauren has certainly never made Bo love her. She just does. She thought about their third time. It was really their first as lovers. As a couple. Lauren was being so adorably cute that Bo just ate it up. She kissed every spot she could find on the woman. Why? Because it was Lauren. It had to be different than when she fed. It was love like the first time that was their first time. When Bo had the confidence that she could finally sleep with the woman and not kill her. Then hours later Lauren was lightly snoring like she is now. She turned her ears and heard more snoring. In a way it is Lauren snoring too. More Lauren in human form that Bo gets to hold and love. Lauren's children, she cried and buried her head in Lauren's hair.

Aife and Amani

The succubus watched her granddaughter's crib. She kicked her blankets off a few times and she walked over to put them back, every time. She remembered Bo as a baby. She was afraid to touch her. To look at her. But then she escaped and did. When she looked at her she gasped. Isabeau. That was her first thought and when the baby was officially given a name, Hades had agreed. It sounds powerful. It was and is.

Amani looks like Lauren but she will carry the blood of Isabeau. Bo and her great-grandmother. She smiled when she kicked the blankets off again. "This is the last time because nana needs to sleep too." She grabbed a baby monitor and placed it in Lauren and Bo's room. "They can get up if Amani wakes up." She laughed.

The next morning.

Charlotte was up and tapping her feet. Her mothers hadn't come out of their rooms yet and she wanted to go outside. She looked up and walked back and forth in the hallway. "Okay. Okay, Charlotte. I'm up". Bo appeared at the door and closed it behind her.

"I just wanna play, mama." Charlotte looked up.

"You don't have to wake up the entire suite to do so." Bo looked down at her. She had grown in height again.

Charlotte looked at the door and back at Bo. "No, Charlotte. You aren't going out by yourself. Go watch cartoons until I shower and come back here." Bo pointed and frowned when Charlotte frowned. If they were home, she would let her but since they are not, she won't. Bo rubbed her face as she walked into their bedroom. "I'm sorry, Bo. I can be the mean one next time." Lauren rubbed her back.

"We're not being mean, we are being mothers. I know she can protect herself. It is not her that I don't trust. This place is too big for her to be off by herself. I don't know the staff like Mom does. I don't trust them either. Not with our kids." Bo sat on the bed.

"We can quickly shower and be out there with them. We don't have to rush. She will have to learn patience." Lauren gently tapped Bo's knee.

"She's mine. I am not sure that's possible." Bo replied.

Lauren tried not to laugh and held her mouth. She went to shower first before her sides started to hurt from the comment. Bo watched the woman walk away and if she didn't know better, she'd think Lauren was crying but she did know better and knew she was laughing. But Bo was right. She doesn't have much patience. She walked in and climbed into the shower with Lauren. She kept her nightgown on and let it soak under the water before she peeled it off. "I learned how to be patient when I was waiting for you to wake up. Our kids don't know that kind of patience yet. They just know we are mama and mama." She washed Lauren's back as she spoke.

"I didn't know you meant it that way. I'm sorry for laughing, Bo." Lauren turned in her arms.

"It is okay. That's why I came in here. To explain and to expedite our shower time." Bo washed herself as they both watched each other wash.

"Well, if it makes you feel better. Aife will have to learn patience when she babysits them. She can't spank them and they are getting bigger. They are getting more curious and I hope she records it all." Lauren laughed.

"I know she will or she will have a very detailed report." Bo smiled as she rinsed.

"We're here. We're here." Bo opened the door to a huffing Charlotte. Bo nearly laughed because Aife must not be up yet either. She did wonder about Amani though and went to check on her. She smiled at her little smile and she kicked in her crib. "Good morning, my love." Bo gently picked her up. "Let's go play with Charly huh?!." She smiled and carried her out of the hotel. Charlotte and the boys were already knee deep in sand as Bo walked out.

"Cheer up, Bo. Kenz and I are about to take the kids. My personal tailor has arrived. So, I will get the boys fitted for their tuxes for your wedding and Kenzi is going to get Charlotte dolled up too." Hale bowed as he laughed at Bo eyeing the kids.

"That's a relief. Thanks, Uncle Hale." Bo smiled.

"Well, that just leaves us with Amani." Lauren smiled as she brushed the baby's hair down with her hand.

"That's fine with us. Right Amani?." Bo smiled as she kissed the top of her head.

"Stay like this for another day. Ok sweetie?." Lauren brushed Bo's back as they stood facing the beach.

"Are you that adamant about marrying me while I hold her?." Bo asked.

"Yes, I am." Lauren replied softly.

"Why?." Bo asked.

"I will explain during our wedding. Until then, let's see what we can do with her, here." Lauren gently pulled on Bo. Slowly, they walked.

Hale, Ethan and Dillon.

"Okay, my boys, let's see what Uncle Hale can get you suited up with." Hale carried them into a tailor's office and gently sat them in chairs.

"We will measure their heads first." The tailor walked over.

"Every guy needs a fedora." Hale looked Ethan and Dillon dead in their eyes. He laughed when they pulled at the tape measures. Just please don't shift, he thought.

The tailor walked away. "Be good boys for just a few minutes more." Hale pleaded softly.

"Now for their suits." The tailor returned.

"Alright, that's what I'm talking about. Hook 'em up with a few suits, man. I got you." Hale nodded to the tailor.

After a few hours their suits were ready and Hale carried the boys with the tailor following him out to his car.

Aife

The succubus walked to the wedding area. Everything has to be perfect. Her daughters are only going to marry once. No, it's not an incestuous thought. Lauren is and has become like another daughter to her. She smiled at the idea of asking to walk her down the aisle to Bo. Since she proposed, she should be the one to walk to the brunette. She played with the chairs to make sure they were just right. She made sure the cabana was sturdy. For as imperfect as Lauren and Bo's love story has been, their wedding needs to be perfect to offset that. She pulled Isabeau's ring from her pocket and looked at it. She smiled and got an idea.

Hale parked behind Kenzi's car and climbed out of his. He grabbed the boys and walked into the boutique. "How's it going?." He asked as he walked over to Kenzi.

"Not bad, bad. But we have found a few good dresses. Like this one." Kenzi showed Hale a picture of Charlotte in her first dress.

"Bo!." Hale smiled.

"Yep. Little Bo if I ever saw one." Kenzi smiled.

"Man, Aife needs to see this." Hale was stuck in awe.

"I sent her one. I haven't sent Bo and Lauren a picture yet." Kenzi smiled as she watched Charlotte being fitted for another dress.

"Will that be all? Just the two of them?." A clerk asked.

"Yes, we don't want to buy too many because her mothers will get the final say in which one she wears." Kenzi nodded.

"Hey, you're Aunt Kenzi. I'm Uncle Hale. Bo and Lauren probably wouldn't mind how we dress them." Hale gently poked Kenzi as he watched the boys run around.

"Have you met Lauren? She's a tad picky." Kenzi laughed.

"She's not that way with clothes." Hale rubbed his head and laughed. The clerk put the dresses in a garment bag and rang them up on the register.

Kenzi walked over holding Charlotte. "How much?." She asked pulling her credit card out.

"For both? Thirty dollars." The woman reached her hand out for the card when Charlotte grabbed it. "No."

Kenzi's eyes went wide as she looked at Hale. "Charlotte, let go." Charlotte pulled back but the woman was still smiling.

"I have cash. Get them out of here, Kenz." Hale said as he pulled the money out and threw it on the counter.

"Uh, yeah. Aife is on Charlotte duty by herself while Bo and Lauren are on their honeymoon." Kenzi looked back at the shop as they sped away.
