The sun is shining on her face as she lie in bed basking in its warmth on a fine spring day. She dreams of days gone by, when the Sunshine Happy Gang was saving the world. A light knock on the door awakens her from the past. Her once beautiful blonde hair is now thin and gray. Her mind while still sharp, has slowed. Her once strong body is failing her. She vaguely hears a voice whisper, "Babe, are you awake?" She comes to, recognizing the voice of her lover of 60 plus years.

"Yes, honey come on in. I am so glad to see you," she answers in a gravelly voice. She struggles to prop herself up in bed while smiling at the brunette who looks exactly as she did the day she fell in love with her. Her lover is carrying a tray with lunch, medications and some beautiful fresh cut flowers from the field next door.

Looking adoringly at the woman she says, "The flowers are beautiful, thank you so much! Sorry I slept so long. I would so much rather spend time with you, but I am just so tired.” She pats the bed “would you sit with me?"

The brunette smiles brightly, climbing into bed and wrapping her arms around her lover, "As if you really ever had to ask me to join you in bed. You know I love the way you feel in my arms. I love you so much Lauren. How are you feeling today?"

The gray haired woman sighs and contemplates for a moment before answering, "Hmm, bout the same as I have the last 8 months. My body hurts, I spend most of my time in this bed and lord knows I have seen every episode of The Real Fae Housewives."

This remark brings a light chuckle from them both, knowing that Lauren has never enjoyed reality tv. As they lie there quietly in the warmth of their lover's arms, Lauren begins to reminisce.

Snuggling into the brunette's neck, she looks up with a grin "Bo, we sure have done a lot together. Most people don't have that much adventure in ten lifetimes!"

Her lover looks down at her with a loving smile giving her a squeeze, "Ain't that the truth! There were times I could have lived with a little less adventure though." They both chuckle, enjoying the warmth and company of the other.

Bo asks, "Is there anything you would like today? I am at your service, as always, my love."

The gray haired woman just takes a deep breath and replies, "Just being here with me is all that I could ever want. Just as you have been every day for the last 60 something years. I still have a hard time imagining that someone like you even exists, much less that you would want me after all these years. I am not pretty anymore, I am useless, yet you are still here. You have no idea what your love has meant to me over the years, Bo. Maybe in another lifetime…" she is fighting back tears now as she tries to express her feelings to her lover. She knows her time is short and she does not want to leave anything unsaid. She wants Bo to know without a doubt, that she has loved her with everything that she had, and she has felt that in return.

Tears are falling lightly from the brunette as well as she tries to steady her voice. "I know, I wish we had more time, but Lauren, you have meant everything to me. You have always been my light even when everything was dark. I am so sorry that it took me a while to figure it out, but ever since we reconciled after our break I have tried to show you every day that you will forever have my heart. I will love you long after you have become an angel in heaven, as you have most certainly been my angel on Earth." The brunette places gentle kisses on her lover's head while fighting back more tears.

Bo strokes her lover’s hair lightly with her hand as they snuggle silently until falling asleep in each other’s arms to dream of better days.

The Doctor finally retired last year after she started feeling ill. Since then, things have gone downhill gradually as she was able to do less and less, now bound to their home with an occasional outing to the park. She still enjoys keeping up with the latest medical journals when she can focus long enough to read them. Her work has changed medicine and most of the research being done today is based on her groundbreaking work. Dyson, Trick and Tamsin stop in from time to time to chat about current events. Even the former Ash, Hale, has made an appearance a few times to make sure that she has everything she needs.
