SANCTITY

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Mutant x characters. I do however own this story and the character Emma. The Song belongs to Brian McKnight 'Back At One'.

Five years into the lives of the Mutant X Team.

'Emma, come on sweetie or you'll be late for school'

'Coming mummy, just getting my school bag'

The little girl, with beautiful flowing brunette hair and hazel eye's skipped down the stairs.

'Come on and put your hands in your jacket, its cold outside'

The little girl did as her mother instructed.

'Hay, you leaving without giving your old man a big hug and kiss'

'Sorry daddy' she ran into the large warming arms of her father.

'I love you daddy'

'I love you to princess'

'I'll be back soon'

'Ok'

The woman and the little girl exited the house. Jesse stood looking out the window. Emma was an identical replica of Lexa. Lexa had arrived to name their child after Emma deLauro (Till this day he couldn't believe she was dead). She would have been happy for him, leading a normal life. Lexa had gotten a job as Finance Manager. He was working at a nice I.T Company. Their lives weren't as exciting as the days of Mutant X, but it was normal and it allowed Emma to feel normal and forget about her mutant powers. With the combination of his and Lexa's genetic codes Emma had the power not only to alter the density of her body, but to also manipulate light.

He glanced at the clock, he had to rush or he would be late for work.

Shalimar was frustrated, she had flicked through so many wedding brochure's and still had no idea where or how to begin planning her wedding. She wasn't into this kind of stuff, but Brennan was so eager to have a big wedding and see her walk down the aisle in a big white gown. Where was Lexa she thought, she needed help. As she sat waiting for Lexa she suddenly glanced at her left hand, there on her wedding finger was the most amazing diamond ring she had ever seen, in six months she would become Mrs Brennan Mulwray.

She recalled vividly the day he had proposed. She was coming home from work, at the Animal Sanctuary very knackered. As she drove into the driveway she saw Brennan's car there already. She remember how strange it was because Brennan was never home before her, he owned the local bar 'Bren's Feral' and was always home late.

As she neared the door, she noticed all the lights were off, but there was a flicker of light coming from somewhere. She opened the door, and stood their amazed. On the floor were red rose petals leading up stairs. 'Brennan' she called out. There was no response. She noticed a note lying beside a white single rose on the first staircase. She picked it up and read 'Follow the roses'. She started picking up each single white rose that he had left on the stairs. When she arrived on the top landing the roses continued to the door of their bedroom. On the door was another note. 'Open the door with you eye's closed and wait for further instructions'. She did as the note instructed, she stood inside the room with her eyes shut. Suddenly music began to play:

Its undeniable that we should be together

Its unbelievable how I used to say that I'd fall never

The basis is need to know, if you don't know just how I feel,

Then let me show you now that I'm for real...

If all things in time, time will reveal

One... your like a dream come true

Two... jus wanna be with you...

Three... girl its plain to see...that your the only one for me...

Four...repeat steps one through three...

Five... make you fall in love with me...

If ever I believe my work is done....then I start Back at One

'Open you eyes' he whispered.

She opened her eyes and there stood in front of her Brennan in a tuxedo looking as handsome as she could have ever imagined, tears began to stream down her face.

'Wow' she gasped

He got down on one knee, and took out a box from his pants pocket.

'Shalimar Fox, I love you more than life itself and I can't imagine spend the rest of my life not knowing what it would be like to have been married to you, so would you do me the honour of becoming my wife.'

Without any hesitation she said 'YES'

That night they danced and made love until the sun came up.

That's a little teaser for all you impatience ones who couldn't want for the sequel. Will have a longer Chapter Two up soon. Review and let me know what you think so far though please.
