Chapter 1: Emma Finds Out
"How am I going to tell them?" Shalimar asked herself out loud, she was alone in the rec. room sitting on the couch.
"Tell us what?" Emma's voice came from behind her.
Shalimar jumped at the sound of her friends voice, she didn't even hear her come into the room. "Nothing."
Emma didn't buy it. "Come on tell me." Emma protested as she slumped down beside Shalimar.
"There's nothing to tell." Shalimar replied.
"Yes there is, I heard you say you were going to tell us something." Emma said.
"It's nothing Emma." Shalimar told her.
Emma knew she was lying. "Just tell me."
Shalimar looked at her, she wanted to tell her, but she didn't think it was the right time. "Not now Emma."
"Please Shalimar." Emma begged her.
Shalimar took a deep breath. "Alright only if you don't tell anyone."
"Alright!" Emma replied.
"I'm pregnant!" Shalimar announced.
Emma was silent for a moment as she took in Shalimar's words. "You are?"
"Yes." Shalimar answered feeling a big relief lifted off her chest.
"Congratulations." Emma said giving Shalimar a big hug.
"Thanks." Shalimar said with a smile.
"So when did you find out?" Emma asked.
"Two days ago." Shalimar replied. "I'm at least two weeks pregnant."
"Two weeks." Emma replied. "So who's the lucky daddy?"
"I'm not telling!" Shalimar told her.
"Why not?" Emma asked sticking out her bottom lip.
"Not until I tell everyone." Shalimar announced.
Emma huffed. "I wish I was a telepathic right now!"
"I'm glad your not, or I would have to stay away from you so you wouldn't find out." Shalimar said with a smile.
"So have you told him yet?" Emma asked. Shalimar shook her head no. "You haven't told the father yet?" Emma asked a little surprised.
"No, that's why I don't want you to know until I do." Shalimar replied.
"So when are you going to tell him?" Emma asked.
"Today hopefully." Shalimar said.
"What about everyone else, when are you going to tell them?" Emma asked she really wanted to know who the father was.
"After I tell him." Shalimar answered.
Emma had a million questions for her but she was interrupted by Adam's voice coming from Shalimar's comring. "Shalimar can you and Emma come down to the lab?"
"Ya, we'll be right down." Shalimar replied. She and Emma stood up and headed down to the lab, she stopped Emma before they entered the lab. "Promise me you won't tell anyone, I want to be the one that tells them."
"I promise." Emma replied seeing the seriousness in Shalimar's eyes.
"Thanks." Shalimar said as she opened the door.
They found Jesse and Brennan sitting down in front of Adam who was leaning up against one of the lab chairs. All three looked over at the two girls when they entered the room. "Go now that were all here, I can begin." Adam said as the two girls took a seat beside Jesse and Brennan.
Emma could help but zone out think about how the father of Shalimar's baby was. "Alright what are my choices?" She thought to herself.
"I want to take a sample of all of your blood, so I can test it for abnormalities and diseases." Adam announced. Shalimar's eyes widened, know that the test would probably show him that she was pregnant.
Emma wasn't even paying attention. "There's Jesse, Adam, and Brennan. But what if it's someone we don't know, that makes it harder. She said she's about two weeks along, that right before Richard died, it could be his. Although she did say that she was going to tell him today, but she could have lied to led me to believe it's not him." Emma thought to herself.
"Emma your turn." Adam said right in front of her, snapping her out of her trance.
"What?" Emma asked not quite sure why it was here turn.
"Your blood." Adam told her showing her the needle in his hand.
"Ya, sure." Emma replied rolling up her sleeve so Adam could take her blood.
He tied a rubber strap around her arm to show her veins, and Emma looked over at Shalimar who was talking to both Brennan and Jesse. Emma desperately wanted to know who the father was. She knew Shalimar wouldn't tell her so she decided to follow her to find out which of the guys she went to first, and that was probably the father.
Adam labeled the four vials with each of their names and placed them in a holder. Emma stood up as she saw Jesse leave the lab and Shalimar soon followed him out once she was done her conversation with Brennan. She followed slowly behind Shalimar as she headed up the stairs after Jesse. Emma then saw Shalimar enter Jesse's room, and she knew that he must be the father.
TBC -I though of this idea last night what do you think of it so far? Please Review!
A/N- This story is not going to be as long as the other stories I've written; it'll probably be three chapters. But those chapters are only the first part of the story. I will be writing a sequel but I won't start that until next week. It will involve the birth of Shalimar's baby and why Eckhart wants to kidnap it. If anyone has any ideas about what I could write about then email me at shadowfox_fuse@yahoo.com or put them in a review!!! Thanks!
