No Fate But My Own: Chapters 26-30

Chapter 26

Lauren POV.

Lauren was surprised that Bo hadn't followed her outside. She had seen the burning questions in the succubus' eyes as she made her hasty exit. She takes several deep cleansing breaths urging her heart to stop pounding in her chest with anxiety. Maybe Bo is just as shell shocked at the possibility of me being pregnant as well. Is that why she hasn't followed me out here? She may have said that she wanted all those things with me but what if the reality that this may be happening right this moment has made her question having a future, a family, with me. Lauren shakes her head dispelling her fears about Bo. Bo has expressed her desires to start a family several times, it's me that has been avoiding the issue. Surprisingly enough it wasn't Bo that she doubted, it was herself. No matter the changes that she had gone through since being bound with Bo, Lauren found her insecurities that she wasn't enough for Bo still plagued her. Lauren rests her hands over her abdomen and closes her eyes and wishes for calm. It washes through her like a wave of cool water. A stillness and clarity comes over the doctor and a smile forms on her lips. Lauren realised that she had sensed the difference in her for a while now. She hadn't told Bo about the slight headache that had been consistent for the last few weeks. It hadn't been bad enough for Lauren to insist that Bo syphon some chi from her. Today had been the first time that it had turned into the blinding pain that she had gotten when first being bound to Bo. Lauren's breasts had been tender but she had chalked that up to her usual mid-cycle tenderness.

The episode of channelling Bo's rage when the Ash had done his little test was unnerving as well. She had gotten a fierce sense of protectivity when it came to Bo and anything that could hurt her. Lauren loved Bo with everything that she is and the thought of her having a piece of Bo growing inside her made her heart sing. Lauren's anxiety stemmed from her fears that she wouldn't be strong enough to carry a fae baby to term, their baby. Lauren turned towards the door when she heard voices coming from inside. Lauren edged towards the sliding door cautiously...

Bo POV.

Bo sat for several minutes torn between racing after Lauren and giving her some space. Bo felt content for her part. If Lauren was pregnant she was ecstatic and if she wasn't and the chi increase was just because of her feeding she would curb her appetite in an effort to slow the production down. Simple, really, she thought to herself. Whatever Lauren needed Bo would provide. She completes me. I am hers in every sense of the word. Mind, body and soul. I'm hers, always and forever...

Needing to be by Lauren's side Bo heads towards the slightly ajar sliding door. She is halted by a knock at the front door. Bo after taking a lingering glance at Lauren turned around to see who was calling at this hour. Bo had not expected to find the Morrigan standing on the other side of the threshold. "What the hell are you doing here?" Bo enquires in suspicion, her eyes narrowing.

"I'm here to speak to Dr. Lewis. I presume she's in." Evony raises an eyebrow when Bo made no move to invite her inside. "Boys," she says looking at the two large men standing beside her. "If the succubus doesn't let me in in the next 20 seconds feel free to move her for me."

Bo lets out a snort at Evony's arrogance but her amusement falters when the two large fae step closer, one cracking his knuckles in anticipation while the other smirks at her in eagerness. "Uh..." Bo wasn't sure what to do. She felt her rage stirring as her heart pounded in her chest. Did she let the bitch in or not?

"Bo?" Bo tenses at hearing Lauren come in from outside. She turns towards Lauren. The Morrigan takes advantage of the succubus' distraction and slips into the small gap that had just opened up and glides into the softly lit room.
