150 Years Later...

It had been 150 years since Lauren had been killed. 150 years since she had last felt whole, and absolutely happy. Since she last felt like she wasn't the monster that everyone made her out to be, and since she felt the total and complete feeling of love. She missed all of those things, and would do anything to have them back. Have the feeling of a warm body next to her as she slept, and actually feel complete because of it. Have skilled fingers play with her hair as she dozed off. Or listen to the ramblings of one Doctor Lauren Elizabeth Lewis. She would do anything, travel from Earth to the fiery brinks of Hell and back, to bring Lauren back to life. Back to her.

Many things changed for her as the years passed. Kenzi being Hale's mate and wife was able to contract a form of immortality. Which Bo was glad about, because she didn't know what she would do if she didn't have the little goth by her side. Especially now that she knew she could never get Lauren back. She was happy to see her best friend so happy, but Bo couldn't help but feel bittersweet about it at the same time. She was glad that Kenzi was still alive, beyond glad in all actuality, but she couldn't help but wish Lauren was here as well, and as Bo stared at herself in the mirror. She couldn't help but wish Lauren was beside her right now.

Especially for the event that she would be going to that night.

Rehearsal Dinner

Bo gazed at all the occupants of the room, and couldn't help but smile. The dinner was going off without a hitch, and Bo couldn't be happier. She was so happy that this night was actually working out for the betterment of her friends. Bo glanced at the husband and wife to be, and she couldn't help but smile even more. Against all odds Tamsin and Dyson were making it work, and she was beyond happy for them, but as she stared at all the happy couples in the room. She couldn't help but feel a striking pain in her heart, because the love of her life wasn't here. Which caused Bo to sigh softly in sadness. Suddenly feeling claustrophobic, and her heart clenching in pain of remembering. Bo quickly went to the bathroom. Faintly aware that her best friend was following her. Once Bo reached the safe confines of the bathroom she started to cry.

Kenzi, who Bo knew had been watching her all night, immediately swooped in and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "Hey hey succubitch don't get all teary eyed. I know how hard this must be for you, and I completely understand Bo Bo, but you and I both know that if you leave Dyson would be heartbroken," Kenzi said softly her eyes soft and understanding, and Bo nodded her head in understanding.

"I know you're right Kenz, but that doesn't make it easier for me," Bo said her shoulders starting to shake with uncontrollable sobs, and Kenzi immediately wrapped the still grieving succubus in her arms.

"I know Bo Bo I know. I miss her too," Kenzi said softly allowing her own tears to fall as she remembered the beautiful doctor. For Kenzi it had been beyond painful to live with the loss of the doctor. Kenzi wanted nothing more than to go back in time, and fix her shattered relationship with Lauren, but she knew that she couldn't. She had to learn to live with her grief, and she did slowly, but she did learn in the end. Though she knew that for Bo it must be so much harder. The succubus had to get over the fact that she had lost the love of her life, and Kenzi knew that must be beyond hard. She didn't know what she would do if she lost Hale. Though what made it harder for Bo was the fact that her succubus had mated with Lauren, which made her loss all the more painful. Overtime Kenzi had watched her best friend be succumbed by her grief. Never feeding off of blondes or anyone in the medical field, and never taking them home. Though Kenzi had to admit Bo was getting better, but Kenzi knew that her succubus would probably never truly heal from the loss of her mate. Succubi only have one mate in their lifetime. Their one and done, and Bo had lost hers.

Kenzi just wished she could be there more for her best friend, and she tried but she didn't know what to do, because she never went through what Bo has been going through. So all she could do right now was hold her best friend tighter. Kenzi didn't even care that her dress sleeve was getting soaked. All she cared about was getting her best friend better. A task that had only one impossible solution. A solution that Kenzi wished she could grasp, but once again she knew that it was impossible. They couldn't bring Lauren back no matter how much they wanted to.

After a couple of moments, Bo finally lifted her head and wiped away the residual tears on her cheeks, and Kenzi couldn't help but smirk. "Thank God for waterproof mascara," Kenzi joked, and she was rewarded a smile from Bo. "Come on I think it's time we get our drink on."

Bo couldn't help but laugh as they walked out of the bathroom. After touching up on their makeup of course. Soon Kenzi and Bo were sitting at the mini bar, and talking like the good old days. Kenzi noticed that Dyson and Tamsin were walking towards them. So she nudged Bo softly to get her attention, and after following her gaze Bo understood what was going on.

"Bo there you are I've been looking for you everywhere," Dyson said with a smile as he came in front of them.

"But not me wolf man, I'm hurt. Truly and deeply," Kenzi said in mock hurt, but she couldn't help but smile.

"Of course I was looking for you also Kenz," Dyson replied with a placating tone, which caused Kenzi to stick her tongue out at him. "But, Bo I wanted to say thank you for all that you have done for me and Tamsin. Especially since I know how hard this must be for you. So I can't thank you enough Bo." Dyson said with a small smile before hugging Bo tightly, and once he was done Tamsin hugged Bo as well.

"I also can't thank you enough Bo. What you have done for me is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much," Tamsin said with a small smile, and Kenzi watched as Bo smiled in return. Which caused her heart to warm at the sight. Her Bo Bo was finally getting on the right track again, and she would be damned if she let her best friend fall off again.

Kenzi watched as her friends started conversing, and Bo's laughter filled her ears. Kenzi couldn't help but smile, and her smile grew impossibly bigger. When Hale appeared beside her, and wrapped her in his arms. Life couldn't get any better than this.

If only she knew what would soon come.

The Reception

Laughter and singing could be heard throughout the room, and Bo couldn't help but be part of it. The wedding had been a gorgeous event, and she could have never been more proud. Tamsin and Dyson were finally married. After years of a will they won't they relationship. Bo watched with happy tears brimming her eyes, as Dyson and Tamsin danced. They looked so in love, and Bo could never be more happy for them. She knew that Dyson at first had a hard time asking her for helping in on the wedding. Mostly because he still blamed himself for Lauren's death, but Bo had happily agreed. Anything to get her mind away from her lost love, even if it did cause her emotional turmoil throughout the course of it.

It was better than wallowing in the past, and grief. Even though Bo knew that her grief would never leave her. Her succubus would never allow it, and Bo wholeheartedly believed her succubus wanted to make her pay. Make her pay for Bo causing her to lose her mate, and she was fine with the punishment, because not only had her succubus lost her mate, but the human side of Bo did as well. Lauren was her soul mate, and she had been naïve to have ever thought that she wasn't, but Bo could do nothing about it now. She had found out too late, and now she had to deal with the consequences of her actions. Like Lauren had told her all those years ago.

Bo watched as Hale and Kenzi soon joined in, and once again Bo felt a striking pain in her heart. She could never be that happy again. She knew that for a fact, and Bo could faintly feel her succubus agree with her. Though soon enough Trick offered his arm to her, and asked her if he could have this dance. She happily agreed once again wanting to stop remembering her past failings.

Bo was soon dancing with Kenzi, and her best friend was making her laugh. More than she had done in a while. That's when she felt the presence. A presence she hadn't felt in a 150 years. Bo immediately felt a sob make its way to the back of her throat, but she refused to let it out. Bo turned in her best friends grasp; searching frantically around the room. She could faintly hear her friends and grandfather calling her name, but she didn't care. She had to find the source of the presence she was feeling. Her succubus wholeheartedly agreed, and then Bo saw her.

She looked exactly the same. Her beautiful golden locks falling down to her shoulder blades, and curling softly at the bottom. Her beautiful whiskey colored eyes shining with intelligence and kindness. Her muscles rippling with suppressed strength as she walked. The small smile that normally played on her face was in full action. Lauren looked like she had all those years ago. Finally Bo's mind caught up with her, and her shock quickly turned to happiness. She knew that her mind might be playing tricks on her, but by the sounds of her friends shocked intakes of breath it wasn't. As Bo shot forward she briefly wondered how this was possible, but as she pulled Lauren into her she didn't care. She didn't care because she had her love back. Bo could feel her succubus purr in satisfaction at finally having their mate back. Bo felt tears cascading down her cheeks, but she did nothing to stop them. Especially when she felt Lauren hugging her back. Finally after a couple of moments Bo pulled back, and looked into Lauren's eyes.

Bo, almost reverently, reached out her hand and cupped Lauren's cheek. "How is this possible?" She asked with a shaking voice, and when Lauren smiled at her she couldn't help but let more tears fall.

"I don't know completely, but let's just say it was a gift from a friend," Lauren replied with a soft smile, and Bo couldn't help but think when she saw that friend she would never stop thanking them. She saw out of her peripheral vision that Kenzi looked like she wanted to cut in, and Bo let her. Almost immediately Kenzi had Lauren in her arms, and she was crying. Bo watched with a small smile as Lauren comforted her best friend, and telling Kenzi it was okay when she kept apologizing. Soon enough Lauren was being passed from friend to friend. Who all expressed their happiness at seeing her. Hale and Dyson especially.

Dyson who never forgave himself for his part in Lauren's death; dropped down onto his knees and begged for forgiveness, which Lauren was more than happy to give. While Hale told her that his promise still stood, and that she was no longer a slave to the Light, and that he would love if she would consider a job working with him. Lauren who seemed slightly shocked by all of this once again accepted, and Bo couldn't help but smile. More so than she knew she had in a while.

Though soon everyone seemed to see that Bo wanted Lauren all to herself, and they immediately left the two alone. Bo took Lauren's hand in her own, and laced their fingers together. She led Lauren outside and into the garden, where they soon found a nice secluded spot. Bo pulled Lauren closer into her, she never wanted to let Lauren go again. Bo gently brushed Lauren's hair behind her ear, and whispered into it.

"These past 150 years have been unbearable without you. Everyday I felt like my heart was breaking all over again. Knowing that I had caused your death, and I wasn't the same person I was with you. I felt nothing, no happiness, no love or compassion, without you I am nothing, but now with you here. I can finally feel my heart picking itself back up again. It's ready to rebuild itself, and I know you asked for a break but please Lauren I can't live without you in my life. I love you so much, and without you myself and my succubus are broken. We need you Lauren, the only question will you take us?" Bo whispered her voice having a hint of desperation within its depths. She could faintly feel her succubus whining for her mate to accept them, and Bo was happy for once that they were on the same page. They always were when it came to Lauren.

Bo watched as Lauren looked at her with her beautiful eyes, and Bo felt fear grip her heart, but it dissipated when Lauren smiled at her. "Of course I will Bo, I love with everything that I am, and I told you as long as we are both are walking this Earth I will forever love you, and nothing has changed that Bo. Nothing ever will," Lauren said with so much love in her voice and her eyes. Bo couldn't help her next actions. She brought Lauren into a kiss, that was tender, passionate, and loving all in one. It was the kiss Bo had been waiting for, for the past 150 years.

Her mind couldn't help but flash to what Lauren had told her all those years ago, and she couldn't help but agree. She had been dealt a consequence for her actions, a consequence that Bo couldn't learn to live with, but now she had been given another chance. Been given a chance to right her wrongs, and she would. She would never make the mistake of losing Lauren again.

Actions really could cause consequences; she was just happy hers had a happy ending.
