One-shot because I'm bored and I don't really ever write non-AU's. For the sake of this story, season 4 &5 never happened. It's basically an alternate timeline for season three, Bo and Lauren never took a break, but dealt with their relationship problems and this fic is a continuation of their relationship from that point on.

*It's all from Bo's perspective

*I own nothing.

…

It was two in the morning by the time I'd gotten back to the clubhouse. I hadn't even bothered to turn on the lights as I slowly and painfully made my way to my bedroom. I had been away for three days on a case involving an underfae, and tracking him down to get him to come quietly was no easy task. He a got a couple…good shots in and as a result I probably looked worse for wear. Why hadn't I bothered to heal myself? Because even though Lauren had said she was fine with it, I still wasn't totally okay with it. That's why I avoided going to her place tonight, even though she had wanted me to. I knew she would make me feed. She would put on an understanding face, throw on her robe and then she would drive me to one of the closing nightclubs and have me grab somebody to heal with. All while she waited in my camaro with the heat blasting and the radio blaring the midnight mixes.

I didn't want that.

Besides, my injuries weren't too bad anyway. At least I didn't think so. A couple of scratches on my face, a black eye…there may be a few cracked ribs from when that repulsive thing threw me against a dumpster, but nothing that some ice and rubbing alcohol couldn't fix, and maybe some drinking alcohol too, if Kenzi didn't take it all to Hale's for the evening. I didn't want to heal succubus style unless I really needed it, and right now, I didn't need it.

As I got closer to my room I was surprised to find that the light was already on. Although I wasn't too worried about who might be in my bedroom, it could have just been Kenzi forgetting to turn my light off, I did proceed with caution. I was still in well enough shape that I was ready to kick someone's ass if need be.

'Bo is that you?' Lauren called out to me, just before I entered my room. I froze. Although I should have expected this. I told Lauren that I would see her as soon as I got back from my case, we had been working on making time for each other, or rather I was working on making time for Lauren, because she always had time for me. But I hadn't counted on getting the shit kicked out of me by some fae so I had to make up an excuse as to why I couldn't see her tonight.

'Yeah babe it's me.' I replied, deciding to just bite the bullet and come in to see her. Because maybe she would understand my reasoning and we could just cuddle on the couch and watch the National Geographic channel instead of going out in search of a potential feed. I knew as soon as she spotted me I was wrong. She had gotten that troubled look on her face, the same one she gets whenever I'm hurt. All of her attention was on me, she would poke me and prod me first, and then she would baby me and god…I honestly don't know how I was able to make such a caring person fall in love with me. She rushed forward and her hands cradled my face, her grip was gentle but firm.

'What happened?' She asked.

'Gross underfae.' I replied with a smile, I had hoped that she would smile with me. Unfortunately she was too preoccupied with the abrasions on my face. I watched as she stared at me for a moment, letting her tongue jut out and moisten her bottom lip. She then shrugged at me.

'….and you didn't heal?'

I sighed before taking a seat on my satin sheets. I could see where she was laying on them earlier and I smiled because these were new sheets and I knew they would smell like her.

'Bo?' She came to sit beside me.

'Hmm?'

'Why didn't you heal?' She asked again, this time she was a little more firm. Sometimes I just wish she would let things go, but I know she's a doctor and I know she can't. It was my turn to shrug.

'I didn't want to.' I replied simply. That was the truth.

'You didn't….are you hurt anywhere else?' She questioned. I decided that it's no use trying to lie to her; she'll just start tearing off my clothes to find anything that could be a danger to my health or cause me pain. I love her for it. Because that's who she is, she's always done things that were for my own good. Even if I was too hard headed to see it. I take off my leather vest and let her see the punished flesh I knew was underneath it.

She gasped when she saw the large bruises that had practically painted a canvas of purple across my normally creamy skin. I tried not to flinch when her fingertips brushed across a particularly large bruise. She looked up at me and I had to look away because of the disappointment swimming in her rich brown eyes.

'What were you thinking?' She asked quietly. I shook my head.

'Baby, this looks worse than it actually is-,'

'Bullshit Bo!' She spat. I bit my lip and tried to really think about what I wanted to say next.

'I don't think I need to heal with the injuries that I have right now.' I began and scooted closer to her. Leaning in and brushing a strand of blonde hair behind her ear, I pressed a kiss to the corner of her mouth. '…but some Tylenol and a warm bath with you would be amazing.'

I was hoping that she would agree with me, because that's all I really wanted right now; her. Just her.

'Bo, these injuries will take weeks to heal normally. Why on earth would you want to walk around in pain for the next few weeks?' She was baffled, and let me tell you, it was very hard to baffle my doctor. 'Honey, I told you that I'm fine with your feeding. You need to do it. It's apart of you…apart of your nature….your damn biology-,'

'But I am more than just my biology, Lauren. You know that, I've told you this how many times?' I asked her as I removed my boots and knife holster. 'I hate sharing my body with other people…even feeding off other people bothers me.'

'Right. Bo I know that, but this is serious. This is your health and you can't help what you are-,'

'It's bullshit. If I wasn't with you Lauren, if I wasn't madly in love with you…then it might not bother me so bad. Being a succubus I mean. Lauren if it weren't for you and Kenzi I don't know what I would be. I know that I would probably give in to my nature wholeheartedly, a different feed would be in my bed every night and I'd probably end up giving into that…darkness. But I don't, and it's only because of you two. Kenzi protects my heart and you protect my soul.' I admitted. She took my hand and kisses each individual knuckle before letting it rest in her lap.

'Bo…'

'You give me everything I need and more, and I can't give that to you. You're so strong and selfless Lauren, I know I'd be sick if I had to live with you being…like that with other people. I would have an endless list of asses to kick.' I grumbled. That at least got me a watery smile.

She lightly rolled her eyes, in a way that only Dr. Lauren Lewis could, and cradled my face once more. 'I couldn't forgive myself if I knew you were walking around for the next little while in pain…'

I pressed my forehead and sighed. 'I know.'

'Let me help.' She mumbled against my lips. Before I knew it she had pushed me on my back and climbed on top of me. She had made quick work of both of our clothes and all of a sudden she was between my legs, her warm breath teasing me because she was so close, yet so far from where I wanted her to be. The anticipation along with the sensation was making me wetter by the moment. I felt her lift my leg and place it over her shoulder. I lifted myself onto my elbows with a wince, my ribs were killing me in this position, so I could look down at her. I will myself not to shut my eyes as she places gentle kisses along my folds. If it were anybody else, I would have told them to hurry up, because it was just sex. But not with Lauren, never with Lauren. We always made love. No matter how rough we got, and we did get quite rough sometimes the request of the gorgeous blonde doctor herself no less, we both knew that there was nothing but love behind every touch.

She finally decided to end her gentle teasing and allowed her tongue to replace her lips. She had spread my folds and began a rhythmic pattern with her tongue that she knew would drive me crazy. We were quick learners when it came to each others bodies. Lauren and I would spend hours in bed discovering new things about one another, worshipping each others bodies. Because with Lauren, it's about quality and she is a quality lover. Could she have round after round of aggressive sex like your typical fae? No. I didn't want that with her anyway. I liked spending time just laying with her in bed, making her laugh, making her cum, making sure she knew that she was loved. I had almost fucked up once…never again. I didn't want to imagine a life without Lauren, I knew someday I would because her life is precious and she would only be here a short time compared to my life. But that's Lauren, and I would rather eighty years with her than a thousand years with a fae.

'Oh god.' I heard myself say as she brought me to the edge of my climax, I could feel my hips bucking against her mouth as she sucked on that little bundle of nerves. She hummed in approval because she has told me time and time again that she loves to watch me come undone. She reached her free hand up, the one that wasn't currently thrusting into me, and held my hand as my orgasm hit me and washed over me in waves. I shout her name repeatedly, each at varying degrees of volume. It wasn't long before her lips covered my own and she kissed me with so much passion while I recovered from that amazing orgasm she had just given me.

'Let me see.' She said as she pulled back from our kiss to inspect my face. 'The cuts have closed and your black eye is now a light brown.' She concluded. I spread my legs to allow her to slip a thigh between them, and my own thigh came in contact with her wet centre. I wrapped my arms around her and she began to rock her hips.

'B-babe, I need you to listen to me, okay?' She moaned.

'Uh-huh.' I replied, trying to focus on what she was saying.

'You can't take too much, alright?' She said. She was talking about feeding. I'm very careful when it comes to Lauren and taking her chi. I know that she can only handle so much and I refuse to drain her to the point of exhaustion like I would with anybody else.

'I know, baby.' I assured her, our thrusts picking up speed. I kissed her neck and shoulder.

'No I mean, you really can't take a lot. Even less than usual okay?' She replied. I agreed with her. For whatever reason she didn't want me to take as much as a usually took and that was fine with me. I was fine with taking nothing at all.

'You feel so good…' I whimpered.

'You too, I'm so close, Bo.' Her eyes screwed shut, and I could tell she was close by the way she rocked against me. 'I'm coming- Bo, I'm coming!' She gasped and I brought our lips together and started the process that would be my feeding.

Lauren's chi was warm, and so full of life it made me happy. It was like sweet nectar to me…there was also something else, something that wasn't there before. I cut off the feed before I could really taste what it was. She collapsed against me, and I held her for a moment before she sat up on her elbows.

'How are your ribs?' She asked and sat back on her knees. I sat up and looked down at the previously purple flesh that was now a light pink. She poked at them and all I could feel as a dull ache, like if I was working out or something. 'Good, and your face is completely healed.'

'All thanks to my brilliant doctor.' I smiled and rested my hand on her thigh. She rolled off of me to lie down and cuddle with me. She wrapped her arm across my midsection and I turned to face her, kissing her nose. 'Thank you.'

She gave me a sad smile. 'Bo I won't always be there.'

'I know that.' I admitted.

'That means that you're going to have to deal with feeding off of others. You got off lucky with this underfae. It could have been worse. It could have been something I couldn't have helped you with.' She explained.

'But it was, I was more careful.'

'You are going to face bigger enemies than just underfae, Bo. I can't have you coming to me half dead. And besides, it's not just a healing issue, I can't sustain you and I've accepted that-,'

'I wish you wouldn't. I wish you would be upset with me. You deserve so much more.' I mumbled quietly.

'You are who I want. Nobody else. Love is about compromise and to me this is a small price to pay to be with the love of my life. Especially when there are just things that you give me that nobody else could.' She smiled.

'Multiple orgasms?' I joked. She tapped my arm as if to scorn me. I brought my lips forward for a chaste kiss but she wrapped her hand around the back of my neck and mumbled against my lips.

'I need you to be healthy for what's about to come in a near future. I need you to take care of yourself and know that I am okay with you taking care of yourself, because I love you.' She said. I pulled back and looked her deep in the eyes.

'What happened?' I worried. I figured it had been too long since I faced another jerk off who was threatening to destroy/ take over the world. She gave me a serious look before pointing to her coat that was resting at the end of the bed.

'In my pocket, I need you to get something.' She replied. I tossed the sheet off of me and grabbed her coat at the end of the bed. I reached inside and pulled out a leather glasses case.

'What is this?' I asked as I joined her back in bed.

'I couldn't risk carrying them around the compound…just open it.' She nodded. I opened the leather case and dumped out its contents. On the bed lay two positive pregnancy tests. I looked at her.

'Bo, I can understand if you aren't ready for something like this-,'

'You're pregnant?' I asked. She nodded. 'How?'

'Do you remember about a month ago when we…when you fed from me for the first time?'

'Yeah.' I replied.

'…and you shared your chi with me…'

'Yes…'

'You feed on what is essentially life force, Bo. You can give it and you can take it. That night that you gave it to me, I was ovulating. You got me pregnant.' She smiled shyly.

I couldn't believe it. 'You have my baby inside of you?'

She nodded. 'Like I said earlier, I don't want you to feel trapped because of this-,'

I took her face in my hands and looked her straight in the eye. 'Lauren, this is the best thing ever. It's apart of you and apart of me. It's ours. I love it already.' I gushed. A look of relief came over her face.

'God, I was just so worried you wouldn't believe me, and there is also the fact that we've barely been an official couple for more a year… I was worried it would be too much, too fast and that you'd freak out or something.' She admitted. I pecked her lips.

'I knew I tasted something in your chi that wasn't there before. It must be the baby.' I chuckled and rubbed my hand over her flat stomach. 'Lauren, I am in love with you and I couldn't care if you got pregnant now or ten years from now. We're going to be a family, and you don't know how long I've wanted this kind of life.'

'I've known that I've wanted a family with you since Hecuba.' She replied.

'This is why you didn't want me to take too much, isn't it?' I said. She nodded.

'I just need to run some more tests to make sure that you taking my chi won't harm the baby.' She explained.

'Of course.' I agreed. 'This is why you want me to get used to feeding off of others, isn't it?'

'You need to be healthy and you can't always rely on me. Plus when the baby comes, I have no idea how the fae community will act. You need to make sure you can be ready to protect him or her. You can't be constantly injured. You need to feed off others for not just you anymore, but for your family, Bo. And I know it will take time but you will overcome your guilt.' She ran her fingers through my hair soothingly. 'You are a succubus, a beautiful, powerful succubus, and I love you for it.' She placed her hand over mine on her stomach. 'And your child loves you for it, because your heart belongs to us.'

I knew Lauren was right. I had new responsibilities now; I needed to get over my guilt of not being able to be physically monogamous with Lauren. She wanted me to be proud of who I was, and I would. I understood now, or at least I was beginning to, I shouldn't even be able to be emotionally monogamous with Lauren, yet here I was, about to start a family with her. Because Lauren is my love, she is my life.

Biology be damned.
