Kenzi.

Kenzi sighed after she was thrown into a shower stall. She narrowly caught the bar of soap that had been thrown at her. Any other time, she'd have to use the soap left by the previous inmate that had showered there.

"Hurry up Malikov! Your guests will be here at any minute! Nedley screamed.

Kenzi cringed at the tone in his voice. She hadn't seen the man in hours. That worried her. He almost seemed like he was keeping an eye on her only. Swallowing her fears, she scrubbed her body good. She had already been given more time, than they were allotted on a regular day. She quickly rinsed off, and walked back to a holding cell as instructed. She frowned when she was given a very thin, cotton top, and bottom. Slipping on her shoes, she was pulled down a long hall, and thrown into another room.

Taking some deep breaths, she looked down at her hands. They were cold, and she really needed a manicure. She looked up, and around the room. It was a lot nicer, and reeked of cleaning solutions. She jumped when the doors were opened. She couldn't do anything but sit, she was handcuffed to the table.

"You will stay as you are. There will be no pick pocketing today". Nedley said as he moved away from the doors.

Kenzi twitched her nose. She knew that scent. She wanted to jump up, and run to hug Bo. But the Bo that had just stepped through the doors, was not in a hugging mood. Bo extended her hand behind her, and Lauren took it, as she walked in. Aife was next, and there wasn't a smile on any of their faces. A fourth woman walked in, and Kenzi didn't recognize her. Stephen, and Albert were last, and the doors were shut behind them.

Kenzi watched Lauren whisper something into Bo's ear, and the Succubus nodded. The brunette gently let go of Lauren's hand, and pulled Kenzi's letter from her pocket. She bitterly threw it at Kenzi.

"So let me get this straight. Because I haven't been home to hold your hand, and pay for stuff, you stole from us?! Bo screamed. The others had their backs against the far wall.

"Bo it wasn't like that I...". Kenzi started, and stopped.

"It was like that. I see why you spent so much time at the Dal, you were casing the joint. Taking liquor here, and there but your biggest mistake was taking my grandmother's ring! Bo snapped.

"Bo I... Kenzi frowned.

"Luckily for you I got it back, unluckily for you, you just added more time to your sentence". Bo said.

"I didn't steal it? I just borrowed it! Kenzi snapped.

"My mother's dead. Who the fuck were you borrowing from! Aife screamed as she leaned over Kenzi.

Kenzi shook her head. She couldn't think of a thing to say.

"Such a coward ass human". Aife spat.

"Bo I only pawned it, so that I could eat. But the guy said he needed to have it appraised so I took it elsewhere because I didn't have a dollar to my name". Kenzi explained.

"This ring is meant for Queens, and I'm going to give it to mine. After it's been polished, and rid of your filthy fingerprints. Your life didn't have to be like this Kenzi. All you had to do was accept my relationship. Accept my decisions. But no. You're always scheming to scam someone out of something. You will serve your full time, which is nearing ten years. You we won't even go to trial over this because that lady there is a Judge, and you just admitted what you did. She also knew Trick and the Queen. So she's as pissed off as I am. Make no mistake that I am extremely upset with you, but I have a family to worry about and raise.

That's right I'm pregnant, and carrying Lauren's baby. She's carrying mine. It will do you good to be here, because you'd probably try to pawn my kids off as some kind of collateral and favor. I'm leaving now before my Succubus comes out. She hates you. But if you ever try and come between me and Lauren, or me and my mother again, I'll be coming to see you again, as her. Don't even sneak me another letter. You might not have my protection in here, but my guards will always tell me everything. Even when you take a piss". Bo said as she, and Aife both stood up straight.

The Judge nodded, and left the room. Bo gestured for Lauren to go out before her. Aife was the last to leave.

"Enjoy your new friends. Well new to you, old to me". Aife laughed, and winked.

Kenzi hung her head again. She could always talk her way out of anything, but she couldn't convince Bo that she would've gotten the ring back. That she would've made up for all that she had done.

She almost cried when Bo mentioned being pregnant because that means that Bo has two children coming soon. Bo's. Not just Lauren's, but Bo's. She could be out there planning what she was going to teach them. How to dress, shop, apply makeup, and fingernail polish. But no. Here she sat in the same clothes, and room. They hadn't even uncuffed her from the table yet.

Lauren. Why did she even come? She didn't say anything. She just had that stone face like she had when they all first met. Dyson and Trick would still be alive, had she stayed in the Dawning. Bo and Dyson would probably be going at it right now. Their world was all screwed up now.

Kenzi stirred. Ever since she left home, all she knew how to do was survive. If that meant stealing then that's what she did. She knew Bo would be angry, but not to the extent that it looked like the Succubus was going to drain her. Bo never stayed mad at anyone long but Lauren. Sure she'd do her time. No sweat. Then she'd see how often Lauren fucked up upon her release and Bo coming back for Kenzi after washing her hands of all of them. She'd help her raise her daughters, and they would be taught how to survive, just like Kenzi and Bo, both know how to do. Bo's currently kidding herself thinking this new family nucleus will last.

Bo and Lauren

The women sat quietly in their car. Bo was running her hands on her pants, and stared to the left at the building they just walked out of.

"Are you okay? Lauren asked.

"No Lauren. I'm not okay. What the fuck was that? What is this? Why can't anyone accept our relationship?! How could she do this? The Succubus snapped angrily.

"Bo you need to calm down. The Fae has never accepted human/Fae relationships. Even though I was born Fae. They'll always see me as a human. I can't speak on Kenzi's motives. She does what she does to survive. She just does things and deals with the consequences later. But really who cares who accepts us or not, we do. That's all that matters". Lauren said.

"Lets go. You're probably hungry, and I am too". Bo said starting the car. Aife and the men pulled out in front of them, and they all went their separate ways. Stephen and Albert went home. Aife visited for a minute and then joined Bo and Lauren at home.

The women were surrounded by buffets of food. They ate until they were about to burst. Once they fed from each other, they retired to the living room, while the staff cleaned the dining room.

"Do you feel better now? Lauren asked.

"Your baby is kicking my ass". Bo laughed.

"Well yours isn't doing me any favors either". Lauren smiled as she rubbed her stomach.

"I'm sorry". Bo said quietly.

"For what? Lauren asked.

"For everything. For earlier. This should be the happiest time of our lives. We shouldn't be having to deal with people trying to do us in, or trying to start trouble between us". Bo said softly taking one of Lauren's hands

"Are you really going to leave her in there? Lauren asked.

"She'll never learn if I fix her problems. I didn't tell her to pick pockets again. It is only a few years. She might get out on good behavior, but Kenzi's bold enough to piss people off. I have people keeping an eye on her. But she's not going to be getting any special treatment in there. Lights out, means lights out". Bo replied. She wanted to pull the doctor in her arms, but she's not sure if cuddling would harm the babies.

"It's ok Bo. They won't be harmed. Besides we're both still early on in our pregnancies". Lauren said softly pulling the woman close to her.

"Pregnancies. Wow". Bo sighed.

"I know. I wonder how we did that at the same time? Lauren smiled.

"No Lauren". Bo smiled.

"No what? Lauren asked.

"You are not leaving this spot, just so you can run tests on me, or us". Bo laughed.

"Well I do recall you needing to study for your diploma so...". Lauren started to get up.

"Tomorrow, I promise". Bo said holding on to Lauren.

"Ok". Lauren said as she settled back down.

The women sighed in unison.

"I just don't know what I'm doing Lauren. I thought we were all getting along swimmingly. You were thinking of leaving me, and here we are. About to start a family. I'm not saying Trick, Dyson and Kenzi didn't get what they deserved, I'm just new to all of this". Bo said quietly.

"Bo this is all new to me too. I mean we both had families growing up. But the last five to six years of my life has been dedicated to the Fae. Nothing was of my own doing, nothing was of my own choice. Can you imagine if I were to become pregnant with the first Ash? My baby would've been property of the Fae too. But then we met. We fell in love. If it wasn't for your Dawning, I might have never known my true heritage. Now we're going to have free children, with legacies, and families of their own. So it's ok, not to know what you are doing. Because we are going to learn together. As a family". Lauren said squeezing Bo's hands.

"I love you". Bo whispered.

"I love you too". Lauren said gently kissing Bo's forehead.

"I'm sorry about the Fae. I wish I'd known that they were putting you through so much shit. Nobody should be treated like that ever. Thumbing their noses at you, when you are one of us. But the best part is that I found my equal in you. I would say that even if you were only still a human. I meant what I said to Kenzi, grandmother's ring is meant for a Queen. My Queen will wear it". Bo said as tears emerged.

"Are you asking me something Bo? Lauren smiled.

"What?! No. Not yet. I want to do that when you're not expecting that. Today you would be". Bo half laughed.

"Ok. As long as we're clear". Lauren said.

"In time my love. In time". Bo laughed.

"I'm hungry". Lauren said.

"Me too. Lets go get a snack". Bo said gently pulling the doctor to her feet.

"We could call for a snack. No use in having a staff, if we don't use them" Lauren said.

"And it'd piss mom off too since she hired them". Bo smiled wide.

"Oooooo lets order everything. Strawberries and whipped cream. Ice cream, and pickles"... Bo rambled.

"Bo! Yuck! Lauren laughed.

"I'm sorry. It's my first baby". Bo laughed.

"Mine too, and I refuse to eat pickles with ice cream! Lauren laughed.

"Well lets go down and raid the fridge". Bo said.

"Wanda can you bring us some strawberries, whip cream, and everything else that matches? Lauren said into the intercom.

"Right away Dr. Lewis". Wanda replied.

"Rookies". Lauren said.

"Hey! Bo laughed.

"Are you sure that you're okay after today? Lauren turned serious.

"No I'm not sure of that. But my baby's in you, and your's is in me. That's the only pick me up that I need right now". Bo said softly rubbing Lauren's stomach again.

"I'm sorry. As a Doctor, I will always worry". Lauren replied.

"It's ok babe". Bo said as they cuddled and waited for their snacks.

Two hours later they were stuffed. The maids drew them a massive bubble bath, and they settled into it.

Albert and Stephen.

The men sat in their living room, with the TV on, but not really paying attention to it. Albert looked around the room. The place was large. Larger than any house, or building he had ever lived in. Well before his sacrifice for Aife.

"What's wrong? Stephen asked.

"Just thinking about how big this house is. Bo could've let someone else buy it". Albert replied.

Stephen nodded, and set his beer down. He had missed so much with his grandfather and his sister. He always knew they had a special family, he just didn't know how or why. "They have every right to be upset with me. I was so focused on protecting Lauren, that I didn't stop to think that Bo could carry her child one day, and here we are".

"We are all Fae. But Bo is special. She comes from very powerful blood. From what Aife has told me, she can raise the dead. She obviously loves Lauren very much. There's nothing she can't or won't do to protect her. I'm not saying Bo's perfect, but she's not as bad as you think.

Trick McCorrigan was hot and cold too. But mostly lukewarm. He could write the future with his blood. Aife and Bo carry that blood in their veins. Aife does whatever she wants, out of love for her daughter, and Lauren. Or for pure entertainment. I'm telling you son, your sister is well protected and loved. She's carrying the Blood King's great-granddaughter. She's Fae. Add all of that up, and they're just about invincible.

I know you still have reservations about Bo. But I knew her grandmother, and Aife well. She's a good woman. Not all Fae know how to love. Being raised human taught them both. It's taught us too". Albert said as he leaned back in his chair.

"I never thought of it like that. You're correct, I still have reservations about Bo. But I don't have to let it control my life. I know Aife loves her, she has to, to go back and forth between here, and Berlin". Stephen said.

"We're all going to be fine, Stephen. Besides we need to get some paying jobs to go toy shopping". Albert laughed.

Stephen sighed. He really didn't know what he wanted to do now. His sister's pregnant. Bo's pregnant, so she's not in any position to take on PI cases. He'd been running from the authorities for so long, he didn't want to be a cop either. He wanted to do something that pays well, but also allows him time off in the event of an emergency, or family gathering.

"Mother! Stephen said.

"What about her? Albert asked.

"Home. I need to go home". Stephen said grabbing his jacket and keys.

"I'll call Lauren". Albert said picking up his phone.

"No! I want to surprise her". Stephen said.

"Ok. Lets go". Albert said as they snuck out to their car. Aife could be lurking anywhere. Albert laughed at the thought.

Aife and Lauren

"What are you doing up young lady? Aife smiled.

"I couldn't sleep. I'm worried about Bo". Lauren shrugged. She took a seat as Aife held it for her.

"You're going to miss this sleep once the babies are born. As far as Isabeau, she'll be fine". Aife said seriously.

"She won't come out and say it, but I think a part of her wanted to kill Kenzi, and I don't think it was only her Succubus". Lauren said as she took a glass of milk from Aife.

"Kenzi deserves to have her ass kicked. With a mouth like hers, that shouldn't take long. Bo's a mother now, her instincts for violence have been tamed a bit. But mine haven't been for years. Death would be a gift to Kenzi. She'll probably want to die after a few more nights in her cell. Especially with new Aife approved cellmates. Her life is going to be miserable, but she won't die". Aife smiled into her glass.

Lauren nodded. "How did she get your mother's ring?

"She had to have had it for a long time. Probably when Trick was alive, and trusted her. Stupid bastard had better be glad that I know people, and got it back. I'd resurrect his ass just to kick the shit out of him. But he's probably hiding behind mother, like the coward, he's always been". Aife laughed.

Lauren used her hands to rub the back of her neck.

"That's it. Off to bed". Aife said taking Lauren's glass out of her reach.

"Thank you". Lauren said quietly.

"For what? Aife laughed.

"For this talk. For helping Bo and Albert bring me back. You didn't have to come back, or do any of that". Lauren explained.

"Oh honey. You don't have to thank me for that. Women have always been trampled on in the Fae world. You're part of our world now. Like you should have always been. Besides it pissed Trick off too". Aife laughed.

Lauren smiled and nodded. She knew the Succubus meant every word. Throwing Trick in at the end was her way of denying her affections.

"Now go before a blue eyed succubus comes stomping out of your bedroom looking for you". Aife laughed gently pushing Lauren out of the upstairs kitchen.

Lauren walked the short distance. Pulled her robe off, hung it up, and climbed into bed with Bo.

"It's about time that you came back to bed". Bo whispered quietly.

"I wasn't in the lab". Lauren smiled.

"I don't care where you were sweetie. But my baby needs to rest. You do too". Bo laughed.

Lauren rolled Bo over on her back. "What am I going to do with you?

"Nothing that causes me to become pregnant again yet". Bo laughed again.

Lauren smiled and gently placed her head on Bo's stomach. She could fall asleep there, but it wasn't very comfortable at the moment.

"Time to sleep Doctor". Bo said playing with Lauren's hair.

Lauren nodded, and pulled up. "Good night Bo".

"Good night Lauren". Bo smiled as they kissed, and snuggled as much as they could.

Stephen and Albert.

Then men left the car lights on. It had been a long drive, and it was pitch dark out. They grabbed some shovels from the trunk, and had already been digging for nearly an hour.

"Are you sure it's here? Albert asked.

"Mom always talked about it. It has to be". Stephen replied.

"How much longer are you two going to be? I have to work in the morning". A man said

"I'm sorry Mr. Grayson. We won't be much longer". Stephen said.

"You're tearing up my lawn. If I didn't know your mother, I'd kick you off of my property". Mr. Grayson said

Cornelius Grayson. A nice guy in his younger days. They all loved him. Stephen always thought he was a little too sweet on his mother. But nothing ever came of his suspicions. Mr. Grayson bought their old house, and it was currently under renovation. As a family friend, he agreed to let them dig for something Stephen knew his mother had buried there.

"I found something". Albert said. He nodded to Mr. Grayson and Stephen. They had to dig to keep the old man from knowing they're Fae.

"Got it". Stephen said rushing over. He smiled at the huge box, as he used his strength to pull it out.

"What is it? Albert asked.

"Lets just get it home". Stephen said as he loaded the box, and shovels into the trunk.

While Mr. Grayson was watching Stephen, Albert filled the hole in with Mr. Grayson's shovel.

"Thank you sir". Stephen said as he shook the man's hand.

"Always in the name of your mother. Now get off my property". Mr. Grayson said. More like screamed.

Two hours later, they were back home. Stephen had opened the large box. He smiled at the contents. Lauren is going to be thrilled. In the morning that is.

TBC.
