Summary: After Kenzi goes on the road with Nate, Bo unexpectedly finds herself spending time with Lauren and Nadia, and as their lives become more entwined they find their relationships growing and changing into something they could never have imagined.

Part I

It began, as so many things do, with a glass of wine.

Bo needed a file for a case, a file she had it on good authority that Lauren currently had with her at home, and so Bo had found herself standing on Lauren's doorstep, shivering in the cool fall air, both awaiting the door opening and dreading it because it wasn't just Lauren's house anymore. It was Lauren's and Nadia's house now, and as much as the possibility of seeing Lauren made Bo's heartbeat quicken, the thought of seeing Lauren and Nadia all cozy and domestic together was going to be a punch in the heart that Bo really didn't need.

In fact, Bo had almost convinced herself that the file was really an unnecessary extravagance and not really important to her case at all, but before she could scramble down the steps and flee, the door opened and Lauren stood glorious before her, and Bo, was caught.

"Bo," Lauren said simply in greeting, smiling a little uncertainly as she looked at Bo curiously.

"Hey," Bo said awkwardly, smiling a bit too brightly as she looked up at Lauren.

"Hey," Lauren breathed out softly, almost shyly, her voice a little rough around the edges the way that always Bo just want rub against her like a cat and purr.

"I," Bo began, rubbing her hands together to give them something to do because her nerves were threatening to get the better of her.

"Oh God, come in," Lauren said, noticing the movement of Bo's hands. "It's cold out, come in," she continued, reaching out for Bo to help usher her inside. "Sorry, I don't know where my …"

"It's okay, don't …" Bo said speaking over top of Lauren so that they both stopped talking at the same time. Consequently they found themselves staring at each other awkwardly and they ended up lapsing into chagrined smiles before they looked away from each other. "I…" Bo began once she could be certain she wasn't blushing, "Lochlyn sent me. Well not sent me, but I needed some information for a case I'm working and he said that you were the woman to talk to … which is usually the case actually. I should probably just start coming to you first, huh?" she asked, rambling and knowing that she was rambling, but unable to stop herself because Lauren, still, after all of the time they had known each other, made her feel like 15 year old virgin who had never talked to a girl before.

"You're working on the Lang case," Lauren said a bit stiffly, shifting her weight uncomfortably.

She found Bo adorable when she got like that, running off at the mouth uncontrollably, all nervous fidgeting and awkward infectious smiles. It had always drawn her towards Bo like a moth to a flame and made Lauren want to kiss her for hours, and it still did, God help her even with Nadia in the next room, it still did.

"Yeah," Bo sighed, deflating a little bit in the face of Lauren's reserve. "Can you tell me what it is and how to stop it?"

"I'll certainly try," Lauren replied earnestly.

She didn't miss the way Bo's shoulders slumped slightly when she didn't blush and smile at Bo's cute rambling as she had done in the past, and there was a strong urge inside of Lauren to reach out and try to reassure Bo – to comfort her in some way – but she couldn't give Bo what she really wanted – what they both really wanted – and she knew that, though it was somewhat cold, it was better not to reach out and touch Bo when she would just have to pull away.

"Lochlyn must think it's a Sluagh if he sent you to me here. We've just managed to capture one, but studying them is difficult. They're very evasive and, well, imperceptible, so we're just beginning to cobble together a somewhat coherent picture of … and I can see your eyes glazing over," Lauren said smiling a bit self-deprecatingly. "Go on into the living room, there's wine, which should make the discussion to come a bit more tolerable. I just need to grab the file."

"Right," Bo said brightly, forcing a smile onto her face. "Well, I'll see you in there then," she continued, and Lauren gave her one more small smile before she headed towards the stairs.

When Lauren's back was towards her, Bo's face fell and she turned towards the living room with a look of trepidation. Beyond the innocuous looking threshold lay Nadia, who through no fault of her own, had taken the only woman Bo had truly loved away from her, and now … now she had to go into the living room and make small-talk with her until Lauren returned.

She would rather have been fighting a swarm of pixies than go into that room, but Bo hadn't been one to run from uncomfortable situations for a while, so she took a deep fortifying breath and headed into the living room.

There was a fire going even though it was a bit early in the year for it, and Nadia was seated in front of it on the carpet. There was a sketch book on the floor in front of her, but with the light of the fire flickering over Nadia's skin the way that it was, Bo wasn't able to focus on much besides the fact that Nadia was absolutely stunning.

She was magnificent and Bo cursed her succubus nature as she stood staring at Nadia, her eyes hooding slightly as visions of Nadia in far less clothing and far more provocative positions flashed through her mind.

"Greetings," Bo said, wrestling the images of a nude Nadia to the back of her mind as she stepped further into the room.

"Hi, Bo," Nadia replied, offering Bo a small smile before she gracefully rose to her feet. "I think I heard Lauren promise you wine," she continued moving towards the coffee table where a half-finished bottle of Malbec was resting. "There's white in the fridge if you'd," Nadia went on, looking up at Bo curiously.

"Red is fine," Bo interjected smiling. "It's perfect," she added out of nerves.

The truth was she didn't care what was in the glass Nadia handed her as long it was strong and alcoholic and would help take the edge off.

"I'll just get a glass," Nadia replied, smiling again, obviously as uncertain around Bo as Bo was around her, but trying just as desperately to act as if she wasn't.

"Thanks," Bo breathed out, and Nadia nodded before moving towards the kitchen.

With Nadia out of the room, Bo began to walk around slowly, taking in her surroundings. The room was different than she remembered. It was warmer. The metal cage that had once stood in the corner – making the room look more like a lab than a living area – was gone, and as Bo glanced down she realized that the plush rug Nadia had been sitting on before was a new addition as well.

There were more plants in the room and a vase with flowers in it sat on the coffee table. The walls had pictures hanging on them. There was one slipper sticking out from underneath the couch but the other one was nowhere in sight. Lauren's textbooks still sat on the coffee table, but there was a half-finished crossword with doodles all around the edge of the paper sitting on the table as well.

The room looked lived in now in a way it hadn't when just Lauren was living in the house. It felt like a home instead of an extension of Lauren's office, and the realization made Bo's heart feel like it was being squeezed in a vice.

"That's … an interesting choice," Bo commented gesturing towards the sketch book Nadia had abandoned when the woman came back into the room.

The drawing was done with incredible skill, but the subject left something to be desired. On the sketch pad was an internal view of something decidedly Fae. Bo was sure that it was very educational or something, but it was also really gross.

"I know," Nadia sighed, glancing at the sketch book, frowning for a moment before she started to pour some wine into Bo's glass. "Lauren's anatomy journal," Nadia continued, gesturing towards a big, leather bound book that was resting on the floor near the sketch book. "She's got all of the inner workings of the various Fae she's come across over the years in there, but her artwork is just hopeless. When I was looking through it I couldn't tell whether I was looking at an elbow or a head. I mocked her and ended up getting a homework assignment," Nadia continued, holding out the glass of wine to Bo. "Biology was never my favorite subject in school, but I'm told it's for a good cause."

"It is," Lauren said as she breezed into the living room, with a folio case in her arms. "I brought some other files down that might be useful," she continued when Bo looked at the case in her arms and frowned. "If you're dealing with a Sluagh, considering the conditions the bodies were found in, it's unlikely that it's working alone. Another Fae must be working with it, and since Sluagh's are spirits, determining what is working with it is our best chance of tracking them both down. I weeded out what I could, but …" Lauren looked down at the box in her hands. "We're going to have to do some reading."

"Yay," Bo replied without a single ounce of enthusiasm, and Lauren couldn't help smiling at her.

"Don't worry, we'll figure it out," Lauren replied as she rested the folio down on the couch.

"This is going to take a while isn't it?" Bo asked, wanting to cry.

"Well no, I mean it won't necessarily be … yes," Lauren finally said, realizing there was no way to sugar-coat the situation. "I think, yes," she continued apologetically and Bo groaned before flopping down onto the couch with her wine.

"Is the case you're going to be discussing likely to be gross?" Nadia asked as she held out the glass of wine Lauren had abandoned when the doorbell rang for her.

Lauren nodded and Nadia made a face which made Lauren smile.

"Then I'll make dinner," Nadia said decisively not wanting to be around for the discussion of murderous Fae creatures that was about to take place.

"I thought we were ordering in," Lauren said.

"We were, but I'll cook. It'll give me something to do while you two are talking shop," Nadia replied leaning forward intending to kiss Lauren's cheek only to pull back awkwardly at the last moment when she remembered that Bo was in the room.

"You could stay," Lauren said softly, meeting Nadia's eyes as she spoke so that Nadia could see that she meant it. She'd registered Nadia begin to move in to give her a kiss and she knew why she'd stopped and pulled back.

"I could … but I'd rather be able to sleep tonight," Nadia drawled and Lauren's lips curved up into a smile.

"It won't be that bad," Lauren breathed out, eyes twinkling.

"Oh, no I'm not falling for that again," Nadia said shaking her head. "That's what you said before we did those shrooms on Spring Break and I've never been so scared in my life!"

Lauren snickered and Nadia reached out and batted her on the arm lightly.

"I thought the hallway was going to eat me," Nadia moaned, shivering a little at the memory.

Lauren's eyes lit up at that and her back straightened.

"You know, there's actually a species of Fae from the mountain region of …"

"Going," Nadia said, interrupting Lauren mid-sentence. "Good luck. You don't need to keep me updated," she continued and then she gave them both a wave and headed towards the kitchen, Lauren's eyes lingered on her as she walked, watching her retreat with fond smile.

A smile that was still on her lips when she turned from the sight of Nadia and her eyes locked on Bo's. The moment their eyes met the smile on Lauren's lips faltered and her easy posture turned rigid and awkward.

"I …" Lauren began, blinking a few times as she stared at Bo.

"Files," Bo interrupted before Lauren could say anything else and make the situation even more awkward, "So many files. So, so many," she sighed and Lauren's lips curved up a little again. "Where do we start?"

"With the first one," Lauren suggested meeting Bo's eyes warmly, gladly latching onto the out that Bo had given her.

"Right," Bo said nodding. "Well," she said gesturing to the couch where the folio case sat, "after you."

Part II

By the time Nadia summoned Bo and Lauren for dinner the succubus and the doctor had managed to determine that it was a Phooka working with the Sluagh, and with that information Lauren had been able to create a profile that Bo could use to find the Phooka, as well as providing a list of ways Bo could protect herself and bring down the Phooka. The Sluagh itself would prove more difficult to contain and capture and they were going to have to meet with Lochlyn and be granted a strike team in order to secure it. So, the case wasn't exactly solved, but they were well on their way.

The meal was delicious – culinary skills were another attribute of Nadia's that Bo could now envy and covet – and with the research essentially done the wine started to flow again, and the two factors combined had a surprisingly relaxing effect on Bo.

It was nice to share a home cooked meal and be around people. She hadn't realized how starved for company she'd been since Kenzi had gone on the road with Nate.

It did pain her sometimes, when Bo spotted Nadia's fingers absently run over the back of Lauren's hand as they chatted. It was difficult for her when she noticed them share a look or a smile that was full of the history and love between them. But she also found it beautiful, in a way. What they had was what Bo longed for, what she ached for, and she was happy for them, but having once imagined such domestic bliss between herself and Lauren made watching them an exquisite sort of torture.

When the meal was done, Nadia stood to collect the dishes, but Lauren placed her hand on her shoulder and stroked it gently as she told her to sit down. They squabbled about it for a minute in a relaxed way that gave Bo the impression it was a conversation they'd had before, often, and that they already knew the outcome of before they even begun. An impression that was confirmed when Lauren finally muttered, "You know I'm going to, so just let me," and Nadia simply smiled and shrugged.

Lauren had rolled her eyes at that, but she had radiated affection as she stared down at Nadia. Once that was settled, Lauren gathered up their plates and headed into the kitchen, and Bo and Nadia found themselves alone again for the second time that night.

"I've been meaning to get you alone," Nadia said, drawing Bo's eyes away from the doorway her eyes had followed Lauren's retreating figure to. "To thank you," Nadia continued when Bo looked at her curiously. "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you, and I am so, so, grateful and thankful," Nadia went on, her voice cracking a little with emotion. "I …" she sighed and looked away from Bo's for a few seconds as she tried to pull her thoughts together. "I know it cost you a lot," Nadia said, her eyes cutting towards the kitchen for a second, "and … just, I wanted you to know how much I appreciate what you've done and continue to do."

"Yeah," Bo breathed out, blinking rapidly, taken aback by the suddenness and earnestness of Nadia's words, her mind whirling as she contemplated the meaning behind Nadia's glance at the kitchen. "You're welcome," Bo said getting her mind to focus on the conversation at hand. "I'm glad that I was able to help. Really," she continued. "You two are … I've never seen Lauren so … content."

"She's a worrier," Nadia sighed, glancing towards the kitchen again. "Contingency plans for her contingency plans, that one."

"Tell me about it," Bo said with a smile. "Though, I have to say plan E really was a life-saver," she continued, her eyes softening in remembrance.

"She cares about you a lot," Nadia said carefully as she contemplated the contents of her wine glass, though her eyes did flicker up to take in Bo's expression after she finished speaking.

Not enough, Bo thought sadly.

"I know," was what she said out loud however, and it was true. "I care about her, too."

Bo knew that Lauren cared about her, more than cared about her – even still. As much as she had risked her life to help Lauren, Lauren had risked hers again and again to help Bo as well, and though Bo's heart broke every time she looked at Lauren these days, she was not petty enough to think harshly about Lauren because of the way things had turned out.

Bo knew that Lauren liked her and she was fairly certain that Lauren had crossed the line into loving her, but it was clear to Bo that was Lauren very much in love with Nadia. The fact that Lauren sold herself into slavery for the chance to save Nadia`s life was proof enough of that, but seeing them together that night had made it hit home for Bo in a way that it really hadn`t before.

Though she wasn't fully conscious of it, Bo realized that she had been holding onto some hope that after being with Nadia again for a little while that Lauren would realize that she was actually madly in love Bo and that she would come running back into Bo`s arms and her bed. Bo realized that she had been hoping that once Lauren`s pledge to save Nadia was fulfilled that Lauren would find some peace in having woken Nadia up and then would have been free to end things with Nadia and really begin things with her.

But, while Lauren no doubt did feel a sense of obligation to Nadia, Bo knew that Lauren was also still very much in love with Nadia.

Lauren loved her, but she also loved Nadia … and Nadia had gotten to her first.

"We're friends," Bo breathed out, struggling to try and keep the tangle of emotions she was wrestling with out of her voice. "We look out for each other. And you're lucky, cause that means now you have a super-awesome, badass succubus looking out for you too," she continued grinning, hoping that Nadia bought her feigned nonchalance.

"I'll sleep easier tonight knowing that," Nadia responded, offering Bo a small smile.

She stared at Bo for a second after that as if she wanted to say more, but eventually she looked away and picked up her glass, bringing it to her lips to take a small sip.

"Okay, I have a very important question for you," Nadia began in a lighter tone of voice. "Where do you buy your boots? Because I see them, and then I long for them with an indecent intensity."

"Oh, that's not the boots, that's just me," Bo said, beyond grateful for the change in subject. "I'm a succubus, you know. Provoking indecent intensity is what I'm best at."

Nadia smiled at that and looked at Bo thoughtfully.

"So I keep hearing, but I've never seen you in action," Nadia said with a touch of challenge in her voice. "I mean, how exactly do you do what you do?"

Bo regarded her for an instant, titillated by the idea of showing off, but knowing that it was probably a bad idea.

"This is probably a monumentally bad idea," Bo murmured a second later, and then she grinned at Nadia and extended her hand. "Your hand mad'am," she requested and Nadia gamely reached out and placed her hand in Bo's.

When Lauren finished with the dishes and came back into the dining room, she found Nadia griping the edge of the table like her life depended on it as she stared at Bo with glassy eyes and a dopey smile as Bo ran her finger up and down her arm gently, leaving a trail of sexual energy in its wake.

"What's this?" Lauren asked mildly as she moved towards the table.

"I like her," Nadia sighed dreamily, grinning at Lauren before she looked adoringly over at Bo. "She's nice," Nadia murmured, breathing in sharply before her body gave a little twitch and she sighed contently.

Lauren watched Nadia for a second, then smiled gently before shaking her head and plopping down into the chair beside Bo.

"Is that what I looked like the first day we met?" Lauren asked curiously.

"Pretty much," Bo replied grinning and Lauren groaned.

A moment later, Bo pulled her hand away from Nadia and Nadia's body sagged and she started blinking in an attempt to get her mind to engage again now that it was no longer caught in the sexual haze Bo's touch had shrouded her in.

"Whoa," Nadia murmured as she sat up straighter in her chair. "Whoa," she repeated, still dazed enough that her eyes raked over Bo's face and body with a complete lack of subtlety, leaving absolutely no doubt as to the types of thoughts racing through her brain.

"Should I leave you two alone?" Lauren asked drawing Nadia's attention over to her, a smile touching her lips a second later when Nadia blushed.

"Whoa... I mean no," Nadia replied, biting on her bottom lip and chewing on it for a moment before she gave her head a little shake.

"Look at what you've done," Lauren said to Bo, her tone playfully accusing as she pointed her finger in Nadia's direction.

Bo just leaned back in her chair and laughed.

To be continued ...
