I see the moon, and the moon sees me. The moon sees the one that I want to see. So God bless the moon and God bless me. God bless the one that I want to see.

"What's wrong with her?" Shalimar asked Dr. O'Riley.

"No one really knows. One day she just ended up here." Dr. O'Riley told her.

"Why is she still here if nothing's wrong?"

"Well social services won't take her because, according to them, she's too crazy to put in a home, but no one her can find anything wrong with her, other than the fact that she doesn't talk."

"What like she's mute?"

"Well no, she just has never spoken a word, ever."

"If she wasn't singing that song then who was?" Shalimar asked getting confused. She could've sworn that the little girl was the one singing.

"What song, Shalimar?"

"That 'I see the moon' song."

"I didn't hear any body singing." Dr. O'Riley told her.

Shalimar was about to ask Dr. O'Riley another question, when she heard the singing again.

My daddy's a dollar, I wrote it on the fence. My daddy's a dollar, not worth a hundred cents.

"Come on Jess, we have to find her before Ashlocke does. You know what he does to her." Brennan all but yelled at Jesse.

"I know Brennan, but Shalimar and Lexa left a year ago, and when it comes to Shalimar and not wanting to be found, it's pretty much near impossible to find her," Jesse explained, looking up from his computer.

Brennan sat in the chair across from Jesse, in the old motel room they rented. "Exactly, pretty much near. Jesse, come on you can find them."

"Yeah, but it's not the first time she left." Jesse mumbled, going back to his search.

"What?"

"Nothing, Brennan, nothing."

"Shal what exactly do you want to do with her? Adopt her or something?" Lexa replied, after Shalimar told her she wanted to take the little girl out of the hospital.

"Yeah, actually yes, that's exactly what I want to do," Shalimar replied.

"Shal are you nuts! You just can't adopt a kid. Especially when you already have a baby to take care of. Do you know how much work that kid will be? Shalimar be reasonable."

"Lexa I've thought about it a thousand times and I've decided I'm going to. I already spoke with Dr. O'Riley and he said I should take her for a couple of days and see if I'm okay with it. If I am he'll help me do the papers. She's a New Mutant and she's all alone. She needs us Lexa."

"Okay."

"What?" Shalimar asked; Lexa never gave up that easy.

"I said Okay. You seemed to have thought it through already, and you're right. She needs us."

"Cool. You want to come with or stay here?" Shalimar asked excited it didn't take that much convincing.

"I'll stay here," Lexa told her.

"Okay, will you watch EmmaLee for me then?"

"Sure."

"I'm going to get her some clothes after I pick her up, so I'll be back in about two or three hours," Shalimar told her as she walked out the door.

"Okay. Bye." Lexa looked down at the baby girl in the play pin. "What am I going to do with that mother of yours? Huh EmmaLee?"
